Notes



1             The quarterly report provides a basis for informing the market how
the entity's activities have been financed for the past quarter and the effect
on its cash position.  An entity wanting to disclose additional information is
encouraged to do so, in a note or notes attached to this report.



2             The "Nature of interest" (items 6.1 and 6.2) includes options in
respect of interests in mining tenements acquired, exercised or lapsed during
the reporting period.  If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement
and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in
a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and
conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.



3            Issued and quoted securities  The issue price and amount paid up is
not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities.



4             The definitions in, and provisions of, AASB 1022: Accounting for
Extractive Industries and AASB 1026: Statement of Cash Flows apply to this
report.



5          Accounting Standards ASX will accept, for example, the use of
International Accounting Standards for foreign entities.  If the standards used
do not address a topic, the Australian standard on that topic (if any) must be
complied with.
