Resource and Mining Studies

During the Quarter, an updated resource estimate was completed for the PPP deposit which added 24,000 ounces of gold to the previous estimate (increase of 90%). The current Inferred and Indicated resource at PPP now stands at 0.49Mt at 3.2g/t Au for 51,000 ounces of gold. The Plutonic Dome Project Mineral Resource base now stands at 553,000 ounces of gold. A breakdown of this resource is provided in the following table:

Preliminary output on the K1, K2 and PPP deposits from the open pit scoping study that was initiated during the Quarter indicated sub-optimal levels of ore production and an unattractive return on capital employed using conservative forward gold price assumptions. The Company therefore elected to suspend further work on the study in favour of accelerating the evaluation of its other priority targets (refer to following section) with a view to expanding the open pit resource base in advance of completing any further work on the study.

2. Drilling During the June Quarter, RC drilling continued at Cinnamon, Trident and K1, and advanced into the Keillor East and Skyhawk prospects (Figure 1).

Figure 1. Simplified geology and location map of the Plutonic Dome Project

Cinnamon Results were received for a further 19 RC drill holes completed at Cinnamon during the Quarter (Table 2). The Company is highly encouraged by these results, which to date have successfully outlined 2 thick lodes extending over a strike extent of around 350m (Figures 2 - 5). The results also highlight the potential of the poorly exposed host trend as a priority exploration target.

Cinnamon is characterised by a unique style of conglomerate-hosted gold mineralisation not specifically targeted by the former owners of the project. There are notable geological similarities between Cinnamon and the substantial conglomerate-hosted Archaean gold deposits found along the Emu Shear at Agnew and at Wallaby near Laverton in WA.

The Company is currently compiling the drilling and geological data in order to complete a review of the Cinnamon geological model. Preparations and permitting are underway for the next campaign of detailed RC and diamond drilling, and exploratory RAB and aircore drilling along the poorly exposed but highly prospective host trend.

Skyhawk During the Quarter, the Company completed an initial 7 hole RC drilling program at the Skyhawk prospect (Figures 1, 6 & 7). These holes were designed to test for gold mineralisation extending beneath a shallow laterite pit exploited by the former owners of the project.

The drill holes were successful in identifying significant oxide and primary gold mineralisation extending over a strike length of approximately 200m. The results are summarised in Table 3.

*Widths presented are downhole widths. True widths are estimated at 90% - 100% of the downhole widths for all holes. **Interval from 68-76m in DSHRC0006 was sampled in 4m composites.

Given the current limited understanding of the bedrock geology, the Company is encouraged by the coherent nature and substantial widths of the mineralisation intersected to date (near true widths of up to 31m, Figure 7). The mineralisation remains open in all directions.

The results also provide more confidence in the prospectivity of the host trend, which has been subjected to limited previous exploration. A follow-up program of 19 RC / diamond holes is planned at Skyhawk for the second half of calendar 2011.

Keillor East At Keillor East, 8 holes were drilled to test a series of previously untested IP chargeability geophysical targets adjacent to the K1 and K2 resources. All the holes successfully intersected significant widths of silica-pyrite alteration typical of the mineralisation hosting the K1 and K2 deposits. While only anomalous gold results were returned (Table 5) further detailed work is planned over these and several other promising geophysical targets.

Trident A total of 8 RC holes were completed at Trident targeting mineralisation up-dip of the current resource model. Two of the eight drill holes successfully intersected high grade mineralisation (Figure 8) outside of the resource model and demonstrated potential for additional shallow mineralisation that may fall within an open pit development. The Trident drilling results are summarised in Table 6. Further resource expansion drilling is planned at Trident during the forthcoming Quarter.

September Quarter drilling programs A multi-purpose diamond / RC rig is due on site in late July to continue the Company’s aggressive resource delineation and brown-fields exploration program. A combined total of 9,000m of diamond and RC drilling is planned for the second half of calendar 2011. This program will initially focus on the advanced targets at Skyhawk, Cinnamon, Trident, K2 (underground) and Prickley’s West.

A RAB / aircore rig is also scheduled to arrive on site in late July to commence a ~25,000m program that will test up to 14 high-priority regional targets across the Plutonic Dome Project.

3. Corporate

Dr Julian Stephens has tendered his resignation as CEO of Dampier Gold. As the inaugural CEO, Julian made a significant contribution to the advancement of the Company since its listing in August 2010. Under Julian's leadership, Dampier has assembled a strong technical team which has overseen the growth in the Plutonic Dome resource base by 85% to 553,000 ounces of gold. The Board would like to thank Julian for his efforts and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

The Board is pleased to advise that Richard Hay has been appointed interim CEO of the Company effective upon Dr Stephen's departure in mid-August. Richard has occupied the role of Chief Operating Officer for the company since inception. He is a Geologist with 19 years operational experience in the Western Australian gold mining industry. Richard previously spent 14 years with Barrick Gold including 4 years as General Manager of the Darlot Gold Mine and is well placed to deliver Dampier's ambition to be among the next generation of Australian gold producers.

About Dampier Gold

Dampier Gold has acquired 100% of the ~700km2 Plutonic Dome Project from Barrick Gold, covering the majority of the Plutonic Greenstone Belt, excluding Barrick’s underground mining and processing operation. Dampier’s project area produced some 580,000oz Au from 40 open pits in a generally low gold price environment between 1990 and 2005. The project currently contains a Mineral Resource of approximately 553,000oz Au (comprising a Measured Resource of some 0.5 Mt at 2.1g/t Au, an Indicated Resource of some 1.8 Mt at 4.8 g/t Au and an Inferred Resource of some 1.8Mt at 4.1g/t Au). The Company is actively evaluating its priority resource targets with a view to future gold production. Framework terms are in place for a proposed ore purchase agreement to access Barrick’s Plutonic processing facility. If agreed, this will help fast-track Dampier to producer status with modest capital outlay.
