Fortitude North Prospect

• Geophysical work highlights thickening of the Fortitude Shear Zone (FSZ) to the east of the existing drill coverage

• Significant gap in drill coverage

• Magnetic lows possibly due to magnetite destruction associated with mineralisation

• Northeast structures “jogs” are off-setting the FSZ to the east

• 4,000m aircore drill program planned Q3/Q4 2011.F

Leonora Gold Projects

Leonora

• Sunset Well - Mining Lease applied for over Prospero Exploration Target* of 0.5 to 2.0Mt @ 1.0 to 2.0g/t (16,000 to 129,000oz)

• Two EL’s applied for south of Gwalia and E40/294 recently granted.

• Drill target already identified by rock chip sampling at “Reach”; other targets at Bluebell and Hawk

• Big structures and many old gold workings.

* The potential size and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource

Paterson Province

• Highly mineralised multi-metal Province: Nifty Copper mine, Kintyre Uranium, Telfer Gold mine.

• Four Exploration Licences under application ~ 1,101km2

• Tenements moving through approvals system with no outstanding objections.

• Target generation by Midas is already producing a pipeline of quality targets for testing:

• Copper targets in the Broadhurst Formation are associated with magneticanomalies (c.f. Encounter Resources BM-1 and BM-2).

• Uranium targets are associated with unconformity between RudallMetamorphics and overlying Coolboro Sandstone
