BEACONSFIELD GOLD

BEACONSFIELD GOLD NL (RECEIVER AND MANAGER APPOINTED)
Report on Activities for the Quarter ended 31 December 2002

HIGHLIGHTS

  • BMJV December quarter tonnes milled and gold produced were new records at approximately 59,000 tonnes (235,000 tonnes per annum rate) and 27,029 ounces (107,200 ounces annualised) respectively.

  • Excellent gold production has continued in January and February 2003. Gold production for the March 2003 quarter to date is at the rate of approximately 113,000 ounces per year and the 90-day rolling average for gold production is currently approximately 116,000 ounces annualised. These figures compare favourably with the projected range for average annual gold production, reported by the Executive Director in the September 2002 quarterly report, of 103,000 ounces to 116,000 ounces.

  • Comparison of the current position with that of the June 2001 quarter (the Receiver and Manager was appointed to Beaconsfield Gold on 25 June 2001), includes the following: BMJV gold production up approximately 51%; BMJV total cash cost per ounce down some 36%; BMJV net cash flow up dramatically from negative $3.0 million to around positive $18.9 million on an annualised basis at the budgeted hedged gold price of A$535 per ounce; and the spot price of gold up approximately 28% in US$ terms and 11% in A$ terms.

  • A group of sophisticated investors will pay for all corporate costs necessarily incurred by the board until Beaconsfield Gold gets out of receivership, subject to formal documentation and up to a limit of $500,000. The sophisticated investors will also take placements of shares totalling $6 million subject to shareholder approval and the retirement of the Receiver and Manager.

  • The improved performance of the Beaconsfield Mine indicates that Beaconsfield Gold could repay all its secured debt in as little as two years assuming an average received gold price of A$600 per ounce.

  • ASIC inquiring into the affairs of Allstate following numerous complaints.

NEW GUINEA GOLD CORP

NGG PLANS THREE GOLDMINES OVER NEXT 4 YEARS

New Guinea Gold (NGG) has an agreement to acquire seven gold and gold/copper projects in Papua New Guinea (PNG), most of which, based on results to date, are considered to have world class potential, i.e plus three million ozs of contained gold or gold equivalent. The shareholders of the Company approved the acquisition of these projects at a Special Meeting held on January 31, 2003. Final approval from the TSX Venture Exchange is awaited.

Directors have adopted a revised business plan (for earlier plan see web site) which focuses on early cash flow from three NGG operated projects which already have defined reserves/resources. Other projects such as Feni will be funded by way of joint venture with NGG retaining minority interests in each project.

1. Develop gold production at three sites

NGG will retain and develop mines, subject to completion of feasibility studies and project funding, on three core projects in PNG. These mines will be known as the Sinivit, Imwauna and Weioko mines. Sinivit is within a granted mining lease near Rabaul in East New Britain, whereas Imwauna and Weioko are on adjoining exploration licenses on Normanby Island in SE PNG. These exploration licenses are known as Normanby (EL 1091) and Sehulea (EL 1069) respectively. The projects have major gold orebody potential as indicated by exploration results, including drilling results, completed to date. Unfortunately, drilling, and thus definition of resources/reserves, is incomplete in each area and was suspended approximately four years ago as a result of difficult fund raising conditions for gold exploration. Present resources/reserves should increase substantially with further drilling.

INCREASED SALES & PROFITABILITY IN FIRST HALF

We enclose for release to the market the Company's Half Yearly results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2002....

AUSTRALIAN GOLD COUNCIL

New Australian Gold Producers Boost Index as Gold Tips Six Year High

Five new Australian gold producers will be added to the Australian Gold Council /Macquarie Gold Index today.

Oxiana Resources NL, Sino Gold Ltd, Dalrymple Resources NL, Dominion Mining Ltd and the recently listed, MPI Mines are the new Index additions and will increase the Index to a high of 22 companies.

AGC Chief Executive Officer, Tamara Gorrie, described the new additions as the beginning of what will be a new generation of Australian gold producers supported by a dramatically improved outlook for the gold sector on the back of six year price highs.

“The AGC/Macquarie Gold Index has gained 987 points, or 98 per cent from 16 October 2000 to 4 February 2003, while in the last six months it has jumped 250 points, an increase of over 14 per cent,” she said.

“The AGC/Hartleys Explorers Index has also posted a modest increase over the previous six months, rising by 4 per cent from 3649.0 to 3794.7.”

“Both Indexes are a good barometer of gold industry performance and demonstrate the value to be had in Australia’s gold exploration and production companies”.

According to Ms Gorrie, other emerging Australian gold companies tipped to come into production in the current calendar year are Dioro Exploration NL, Giant’s Reef NL and Northern Gold NL, while a number of other gold explorers have advanced projects and feasibility studies now well underway and include Gallery Gold Ltd, Oroya Mining Ltd, Sedimentary Holdings Ltd and Westonia Mines Ltd.

“Clearly, it is a time of growth and opportunity for the Australian gold industry and the AGC looks forward to adding these companies and others to the Gold Index in coming months as the industry continues to gather momentum”, she said.

The AGC expects gold’s rally to continue, driven by the strong likelihood of war with Iraq, a weakening US dollar, volatile equity markets and continued producer hedge book reduction.

“While Australia’s emerging producers and more advanced explorers are beginning to reap the benefits of a higher gold price and strong industry outlook, it has done little yet, to improve investor support for Australia’s junior gold explorers and that is of real concern to the AGC,” she said.

“The junior exploration sector is of paramount importance to the gold industry’s future in this country and while the price high is good news for the industry generally, the junior or ‘small business’ sector must be afforded special attention now to ensure continued gold industry growth in coming years.”

“The AGC is pursuing the establishment of exploration taxation incentives with the Federal Government as a means of reinvigorating junior gold exploration as a matter of urgency.”

NEW GUINEA GOLD CORP

New Guinea Gold Options Feni Project to Paccom

February 4, 2003, VANCOUVER BC The Company is pleased to announce it has signed a letter of intent with Paccom Ventures Inc, an arm's-length Company, to option to Paccom a 75% undivided interest in The Feni Gold Project located in New Ireland Province, 160 km East of Rabaul, Papua New Guinea.

Terms of the deal are as follows: 800,000 shares, in stages, payable to NGG over three years, including 200,000 shares upon Exchange approval. Minimum exploration expenditures totaling CDN$2,500,000, staged over three years, including a minimum expenditure of $500,000 before June 30, 2004. Paccom Ventures Inc will act as operator.

The Feni Islands lie within an evolving island arc dating from the Tertiary age. It is a northwesterly trending alkaline structural province extending from Bougainville through the Green, Feni, Tanga, Lihir and Tabar island groups. Exploration of the Feni project has identified 40 separate gold anomalies and gold occurrences yielding widespread low grade and intermittent medium grade results.

Located in the "Lihir Corridor", The Feni Project hosts similar geology, including widespread gold mineralisation, similar alteration styles and similar alkaline intrusives to the Lihir Mine located along trend about 200 km to the north. The Lihir Mine was discovered by Kennecott in the early 80's and has a published resource of more than 42 million ozs gold presently producing at an annual rate of more than 600,000 ozs gold. At an early stage of development, the Feni Project is an attractive and exciting project that exhibits all the characteristics necessary for the discovery of a large low-grade multi million ounce deposit.

Feni was last drilled in 1997 when widespread gold was encountered with potentially economic results obtained in diamond drilling. DD Mad 001, drilled 300m north east of the Main Zone intersected 52m of 2 g/t Au within 188m of 1.2 g/t Au (confirmed by check assaying). This hole terminated in plus 1 g/t Au at 256m, as deep as the drill could go. Follow-up of this zone since that time was not possible due to a lack of exploration dollars as a result of low gold prices.

Previous drilling from the Main Zone returned gold values of between 1 and 10g/t - such as:

The widespread gold mineralisation intersected in drilling at Feni equates to the lower grade, inter-orebody mineralisation encountered at the Lihir Mine. Drilling at Lihir into the high grade feeder zones has recently returned values as high as 14m of 341g/t Au including 4m of 1162g/t Au. Drilling targets at Feni are deemed to be excellent, and further drilling is highly recommended by Peter Christopher, P.Eng., an independent engineer, in his National Instrument Policy 43-101 Report dated November 21, 2002.
