EPM15526, Mapoon, Cape York, Queensland – Annual and Final Report November 2010
1. Summary
This annual report covers the third year of activities completed on EPM15526 situated near Mapoon, and approximately 50km north of Weipa, Cape York.
Desktop studies were carried out on the results of previous years exploration programs to determine if the mineralisation would support further expenditure.
The final report is an analysis of the previous exploration activities on EPM 15526. Exploration carried out includes shell auger drilling, heavy mineral analyses, and modal analyses of heavy mineral samples, reconnaissance and review of previous work.
The shell auger drilling programme in 2007-2008 showed that the north-south trending sand ridge between Janie Creek and Pennefather River to be complex geologically comprising different coloured sandy units thought to dip westwards.
Low grade mineralisation was located in several holes. On the eastern end of the southern-most line very low grade mineralisation was located over 125m width, where the heavy mineral suite is iron oxide free, comprising about 25% rutile and 18% zircon. This mineralisation is too low grade to be considered of economic interest. At this stage it is of geological interest only.
2. Introduction
EPM15526 was granted to Matilda Minerals Ltd (―Matilda‖) on 7th November 2007.
In September 2008 Matilda Minerals was placed into receivership due to cash flow problems associated with their Tiwi Island Project.
In July 2009 Olympia Resources (now renamed Matilda Zircon Limited) purchased the assets of Matilda Minerals which included all of the granted and ungranted tenements of Matilda Minerals in the Cape York region of Queensland.
The EPM runs from the Pennefather River in the south to Cullen Point, 6km north of Mapoon. The EPM is effectively split into two sections by Janie Creek.
Access to the section north of Janie Creek is comparatively straight forward using bush tracks running westwards out of Mapoon townsite.
Access to the southern section is more difficult with only one track into the EPM. This starts approximately 13.5km south of Mapoon from the main tarmac road and runs almost due west onto the EPM. The track is the access to Flinders Camp [map ref 583486547], but is only passable from about the middle of the dry season due to a bad creek crossing approximately 5.6km west of the main road. The creek
Page 4 of 33
EPM15526, Mapoon, Cape York, Queensland – Annual and Final Report November 2010 would require a large culvert to allow better access in the dry season. The access track runs across a prominent stretch of sand and then tracks running north for approximately 2km and south for approximately 6km give reasonable, but limited access. The country on the east side of the sand ridge is fairly open and access is possible with care, although there are no defined tracks.
Access to the coastal section is by boat from Janie Creek or the Pennefather River mouth.
In the area between Pennefather River and Janie Creek, the EPM comprises four distinctive NNE to SSW-trending geographical areas. From the west these are:
1. Coastal sand dunes – 400m to 600m wide, comprising loose, often shelly sand – Holocene-age 2. Swamp – back dune coastal swamps up to 1km wide 3. Sand ridge – Pleistocene-age: 600m to 1.5km wide, comprising white to orange sand and covered by a mix of open woodland and very thick turkey bush or ―meendy‖ 4. Open savannah leading east to Janie Creek and Turtle Creek, a tributary of the Pennefather River. This area is generally sandy and includes small areas of lateritic (bauxitic?) material.
Matilda has agreed with the Traditional Owners and DOGIT trustees not to explore in the areas north of Janie Creek and the coastal dunes and swamps between Janie Creek and Pennefather River, for cultural and environmental reasons.

The Pleistocene-age sand ridge from Pennefather River to Janie Creek is 18km long and presents a heavy mineral target.
EPM15526 is prospective for zircon-rutile mineral sand deposits. These minerals were first identified in the area in the 1950s by Enterprise Exploration whilst conducting a search for mineral sand along the Cape York coastline. A small deposit was found at Urquhart Point, 4km south-west of Weipa.
The Program of Works for EPM15525 in years 1 to 3 comprises the following:
Data compilation and review Hand auger sampling Geological mapping Geophysical survey Aircore drilling
Exploration activities carried out by Matilda during the reporting period include: review of historical exploration; cultural heritage; shell auger drilling; and mineralogy. The Program of Works has been complied with for Year 1.
An environmental gap analysis study was undertaken for Matilda’s mineral sand tenements in the Weipa area.

3. Cultural Heritage
An archaeological and cultural heritage survey of part of EPM15526 was carried out in the central part of the sand ridge target area between Janie Creek and Pennefather River, sufficient to allow first pass augering to be completed.
The survey comprised walking selected traverses across the sand ridge primarily searching for ―marked‖ trees: none were located.

4. Historical exploration
As far as Matilda can determine, there has been no systematic mineral sand exploration carried out in what is now EPM15526.
A.M. & S. Co., under Authority to Prospect No. 37M, in November 1956 carried out a scintillometer survey along the coast using a helicopter. This survey covered the dune sands along the coast from Skardon River, north of Port Musgrave to just south of Archer River. Some anomalies were indicated during the survey and a more detailed scintillometer was planned for 1957.
In 1957, the second scintillometer survey was carried out by P.G. Miller, locating a number of points at which higher than normal radioactivity occurred. Approximately 1,050 miles of traversing was completed at a height of from 40 feet to 100 feet above the ground.
In 1958 areas of interest were examined on the ground and some sampling was carried out. Results of this work are covered by a short report by W.N. Lindhe and a report by Titanium and Zirconium Industries dated 30/7/60 on the results of their inspection of the samples submitted.
A number of samples were collected from the Pennefather River: SS6EE – SS11EE. Samples SS7EE and SS10EE appear to fall into what is now EPM15526. It appears that this sampling failed to identify any significant mineralisation (see Appendix I).
The volume ―Beach Sand Heavy Mineral Deposits of Queensland‖ QDME Publication 302 (Connah, 1961), includes a table on page 28 as shown below:
The locations of the samples from Pennefather River and Port Musgrave are not known but are likely to be from within what is now EPM15526.

4.1 Matilda Minerals Past Work 2008
In June of 2007 Matilda Minerals commenced a first pass reconnaissance of the identified strands located north of Mapoon (EPM 15525: Namaleeta Beach) and south of Mapoon (EPM 15526: Penny Father). A total of 8 traverses on nominal 2— 4 km spacings with holes 50 100 metres apart was completed, four south of Mapoon and four north of Mapoon with a total of 117 shell aircore holes completed for 309 metres. Hole depths ranged from 16metres. Visual estimates were made of every metre and approximately 50% of the samples were submitted to Western Geolab for TBE analysis.
A total of 131 samples were analysed with results ranging from 0.03% HM to 1.30% HM. The average of all the samples was 0.29% HM.
Modal analysis was completed on two samples (composites) which returned the following result.
Penny Bulk Number Nameeleta Father HS Ilmenite 0.9 0.0 Ilmenite Mag 1 10.5 10.5 Ilmenite Mag 2 4.8 16.0 Mag Leucoxene 4.1 4.8 Rutile 4.3 18.8 Non Mag Leucoxene 5.1 6.0 Zircon 5.8 18.5 Total VHM 35.5 74.6
The Namaleeta sample is from the modern shoreline while the Penny Father sample is from further inland. Clearly the zircon grades are not high and the HM% are also low.
5. Geology and Geomorphology
The area of the EPM is covered by two of the physiographic units recognised in the Weipa area: the Weipa Plateau and the Mapoon Plain. The third unit, the Merluna Plain, occurs further to the east.
The Weipa Plateau is a dissected plateau remnant of the Aurukun Surface of Doutch (1976), and rises from about 5m at the coast to about 50m along its eastern margin, with local variations being commonplace. The drainage pattern is dendritic, with sparsely distributed broad, shallow streams, and the major river
Page 9 of 33
EPM15526, Mapoon, Cape York, Queensland – Annual and Final Report November 2010 valleys having been drowned at the coast, reflecting the Holocene rise in sea level. The plateau is underlain by Bulimba Formation and capped by resistant bauxite and aluminous laterite.
The Mapoon Plain is a narrow coastal plain comprising younger beach sand ridges (Qhm) backed by black soil plains and clay flats (Qac), with a few salt pan areas, which in turn are backed by an older set of sand ridges (Qpm).
The following stratigraphic table is taken from the Weipa 1:250,000 Geological Series Explanatory notes of 1977 issued by the BMR.

6.1 Discussion
On-ground exploration activities within EPM during the 2008 reporting period comprised 50 shell auger drill holes; other activities include heavy mineral and modal analyses.
Low grade mineralisation (0.3% to 0.9% HM) was located in several holes. On the eastern end of the southern-most line very low grade mineralisation was located over 125m width, where the heavy mineral suite is iron oxide free, comprising about 25% rutile and 18% zircon. This mineralisation is too low grade to be considered of economic interest. At this stage it is of geological interest only.
6.2 Shell auger drilling
Fifty (50) shell auger holes were completed on four traverses across the Pleistocene sand ridge in the central part of the area between Janie Creek and Pennefather River (see figure 3).
The objective of this preliminary program was to determine the geological nature of the sand ridge, and determine what the likely heavy mineral suite is. Only four traverses were completed to see if it was worthwhile launching into a more comprehensive program involving an air core drilling rig.
Geologically the sand ridge was found to be a complex one, comprising many different sandy units possibly dipping to the west. Insufficient data were collected to define particular units with any accuracy.
All samples were panned on site and only selected samples (nominally >0.5%HM) were submitted for analysis.
Holes drilled were MSAC001 to MSAC050. The following samples were submitted:
Hole IDs Sample number MSAC001 – MSAC003 30021-30024 MSAC005 – MSAC018 30027-30069 MSAC043 – MSAC050 30191-30230
Note: samples from holes MSAC004, and MSAC019-MSAC042 not submitted due to panned samples estimated to be nominally <0.5%HM.
Drill logs are included as separate *.txt files on CD accompanying this report.

6.3 Heavy mineral analyses
Analytical work was carried out by Western Geolabs Pty Ltd of Perth, WA, using the following procedure (Mineral Sands Method: MS6):
Split off approx 100-120g of dry drill sample (weight/record). Attrition and deslime via 63um screen. Dry and reweigh (+63um) Screen off oversize at 1.00mm (weight + discard) (Optional) Screen off trash product >500um (discard) Static separation with TBE (2.96sg) HM Sinks (wash + weigh) Bagged for clients Report contains: % O.S. (+1mm); % Slimes (-63um); % H.M. in sample
Heavy mineral results are appended (See Appendix III).
6.4 Modal analyses of HM
Ten samples were composited to make sample FL1 which was sent to Diamantina Laboratories in Perth for a modal analysis.
The modal analysis shows that 74.6% is valuable heavy mineral (―VHM‖), comprising 31.3% ilmenite (including magnetic leucoxene), 24.8% rutile (including non-magnetic leucoxene), and 18.5% zircon; the remainder predominantly comprising tourmaline (13%), aluminium silicates (5.3%), quartz (4.7%), minor goethite (1.1%) and chromite (0.6%). Although quartz is not a heavy mineral it can become entrained with other ―heavies‖ in the heavy liquid medium.
This suite of heavy minerals is quite promising as it could easily be upgraded to a predominantly rutile - zircon concentrate using a magnetic separator, however with a grade of less than 0.6% it is far from economic. If it was 10x greater, it would be considered economic.

Figure 4: South Mapoon (EPM 15526) Shell Auger
Matilda Zircon completed a helicopter supported field trip to EPM 15525 and EPM 15526 and reviewed the previous results during the 2009 reporting period. It is concluded that little potential remains for the identification of any high grade mineral sand deposits analogous to the Tiwi Islands (+1 mt @ > 3% HM).
It is believed that the geomorphological processes operating on the Tiwi Islands were also operating at Cape York however the composition of the source rocks was significantly different.
On the Tiwi Islands the relatively flat lying Van Dieman Sandstone observed in many locations on the north coast of Melville Island to be sub outcropping and rich in heavy minerals is the source rock of the rich zircon and rutile dominanted mineral sand deposits observed at Goose Creek, Andranangoo, Radford Point, Lethbridge and Robinson East.
The interpreted underlying rocks at Cape York around the Mapoon (Old Mapoon) region are predominantly recorded as the Bulimna Formation described as a White to pale grey or reddish brown, poorly indurated, clayey quartzose to feldspathic sandstone which may be poorly sorted granule to pebble conglomerate and sandy claystone; commonly ferruginised.
Page 16 of 33
EPM15526, Mapoon, Cape York, Queensland – Annual and Final Report November 2010
Further to the north in the vicinity of the Jardine River the underlying rocks are mapped as the Helby Beds and described as Early Cretaceous late Jurrasic aged Quartzose sandstone, conglomerate, interbedded micaceous carbonaceous siltstone.
The northern tip of Cape York north of Bamaga is principally composed of Carboniferous aged Torres Strait Volcanics comrising welded tuff, rhyolite, dellenite to dacite, minor siltstone and sandstone.
These underlying rocks do not appear to contain anomalous levels of heavy minerals and therefore are not ideal precursors to the formation of economic heavy mineral sand deposits, despite a geomorphological history likely to be condusive to the concentration and subsequent deposition of such deposits.
In the 2010 reporting period, a desktop study was undertaken to assess the results of previous exploration and assess the econopmic viability of the mineralisation within EPM 15526. The mineralisation is too low grade to be considered of economic interest and the decision has been made to relinquish EPM 15526.
7. Gap analysis study
URS Australia Pty Ltd was requested by Matilda Minerals Ltd to prepare a gap analysis study covering five of its mineral sands tenements near Weipa Qld.
The study was designed to:
document the existing biodiversity dataset on the study areas, including regional and site-specific data, with particular reference to issues listed under the Commonwealth and Queensland legislation (Section 4); identify areas where data are considered insufficient to advance the environmental approvals process and recommend the methodologies required to obtain new data (Section 5); and identify key regulatory authorities and legislative regimes applicable to the proposed project in order to provide a preliminary overview of likely regulatory environmental assessment requirements. (Section 6).
A copy of the report is attached (Appendix V).
