AUSTRALIAN GOLD COUNCIL

Sustained Drop in Gold Hedging

The JP Morgan December Quarter 2001 Review, released yesterday, reports that gold hedging in Australia dropped almost 8 per cent at the end of December to 34.2 million ounces.

The largest decreases over the quarter were Normandy Mining, Auriongold, Newcrest and WMC.

According to Australian Gold Council Chief Executive Officer, Tamara Stevens, the December result is a clear vote of confidence in the industry by the nation’s top gold producers.

“Hedge reductions by all companies have made this a unique quarter and lent considerable strength to speculation that market sentiment in beginning to turn in gold’s favour”, she said.

“The December result follows reduced hedging in all but one of the past eight quarters and has helped generate renewed institutional interest in the gold sector after a prolonged period of disinterest.”

The December Quarter Review also forecasts a continuation of hedge-book reductions by most existing producers on the back of continued industry rationalisation and a lack of exploration spending.


“Australian mineral exploration is at a 20 year low in real terms and gold exploration has more than halved since 1996/97 leading to recent ABARE forecasts of declining gold production over the next five years”, said Ms Stevens

“It is imperative that exploration incentives be introduced now to arrest the dramatic and continuing decline in the gold industry’s ‘small business’ sector by improving explorers access to venture capital.”

“The Australian Gold Council is pursuing implementation of exploration investment incentives with the Federal Government based on the success of similarly structured initiatives in Canada.”

DRILLING AND EXPLORATION PROGRAM UPDATE CLARA ST DORA DRILLING PROGRAM The exploratory drilling program to be undertaken by the company commenced in mid- January 2002. Drilling started at the Clara St Dora prospect, located on the north eastern section of the Lake Torrens Project Area. The old Clara St Dora copper mine which was worked between 1888 and 1915, was confined within the carbonates of the Callana Group. This copper deposit has a similar geological setting to the sediment hosted Blinman Mine and is associated with disrupted and brecciated zones. The mine workings of the host dolomite are effectively terminated against the Junction Dam Fault Zone that is interpreted as passing between the old mine and the current exploration target.

Our program with a major Australian steel producer to develop an EMEW circuit to recover zinc from Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) dust has now advanced to the next stage, with the customer confirming that Electrometals is being egaged to carry out the detailed engineering work in order to establish a full bankable feasibility study of the circuit. Electrometals will receive a fee of $165,000 for this work. It is expected that upon completion of this work towards the middle of 2002, the customer will then proceed quickly to construction of the facility, estimated to cost approximately $4.0 million. Moreover, our customer has agreed to form a marketing joint venture to promote, market and sell similar EAF dust recovery circuits to other customers worldwide. This joint venture will be established as a separate unincorporated business unit owned equally by the two parties, following construction of the first EAF dust recovery circuit which will serve as a demonstration site. EAF dust is currently a major environmental problem for all electric arc furnaces which process scrap steel, and the worldwide market potential for the EMEW dust recovery circuit is therefore expected to comprise at least a dozen plants.
