1.0 Summary

Over the last 24 months South East Diamonds NL (SED) has undertaken an exploration programme for diamonds comprising ground magnetics, MMI geochemistry, indicator mineral micro-probe chemistry, petrology and geological mapping focused the Brigooda target area.

Work outside of this target area within EPM 13506 has been confined to office-based generative studies aimed at identifying similar targets to the ultra-basic breccia pipe exposed in Garnet Gully (see Royle, 2003).

2.0 Introduction

David Royle was granted Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) number 13506 on 25 February 2002 for a period of two years (refer to Appendix 1). The original tenement consisted of 52 sub-blocks, covering approximately 156 km² of Freehold Land in SE Queensland. The property lies about 200km NW of Brisbane. The nearest town and service centre is Proston, located 20km to the northeast (Figure 1). An application to transfer EPM 13506 to South East Diamond N.L. was granted in February 2003. Tenement details are presented in Appendix 1 and Figure 2 below.

On 20 February 2002 an application was lodged with the DNRM for an interim reduction of 43 sub-blocks out of the original 52 granted sub-blocks as detailed in Figure 2 (see Royle, 2003(b)).

The area has subdued topography, and comprises both open farming and wooded country. There is good road access to the main target areas. The area is covered by the 1:100,000 Boondooma and Murgon topographic maps.

This report documents all work carried out by South East Diamonds N.L. during the 12 months ending 25 February 2004 and summarises the total programme completed to date.

3.0 Rational & Objectives

Recently released Queensland Government high-resolution aeromagnetics for the Kingaroy region that post-dated the previous investigations over the area subject to EPM 13506 has highlighted at least three bulls eye magnetic features associated with a major NNW trending fault zone and close to the areas previously drill tested by BHP. Two

magnetic lows in the vicinity of Brigooda and Ballogie have the shape and size of potential diamond-bearing breccia pipes concealed under shallow cover.

The objective of the program completed by SED was to test the potential of the Garnet Gully pipe for diamonds and to investigate other regional magnetic anomalies with mapping and sampling as appropriate.

4.0 Previous Exploration

The report by Alan Robertson (1994) of diamonds being discovered at Brigooda, led to the application for two exploration permits by BHP Minerals (BHP: EPM’s 10048 and 10049) in 1995 covering the Brigooda and Ballogie targets respectively. Australian Kimberley Diamonds N.L. (AKD) subsequently surrounded the BHP tenements with a much larger exploration permit, EPM 10192.

Earlier, Robertson (et al, 1985) reported on the occurrence of upper mantle xenoliths and megacrysts at Brigooda. They also commented on the origin of the Brigooda basalt and breccia. Robertson (1994) reported on a macro diamond recovered from a “maar” breccia at Brigooda, but no classical diamond indicator minerals typical of kimberlites were present. Diamonds have only been reported from the Brigooda area. Hollis (et al, 1983) reported on the origin of the Tertiary breccia pipe at Ballogie.

Limited shallow percussion drilling was undertaken by BHP. Four holes were drilled in a line across the main breccia pipe at Brigooda, showing that in the area drilled the breccia is a sub-horizontal blanket of lapilli tuff averaging 10 metres thick. Three holes were drilled at Ballogie but failed to intersect breccia. In addition, two bulk samples of approximately 100 tonnes each were excavated in shallow pits at Brigooda and Ballogie and treated at Inverell, NSW by trommel and jig. The Brigooda sample consisted of a composite of brecciated granitic material, with clasts of basalt and minor ultramafic from two different breccia bodies. The Ballogie sample, by contrast, consisted mainly of vesicular basalt, with clasts of ultramafics, and minor fine breccia matrix. No new diamonds were recovered and the tenements were relinquished in 1996. Samples of ultramafic xenoliths from breccia were processed for indicator mineralogy but were never observed or analysed.

AKD undertook heavy mineral stream and loam sampling program focusing on structural and circular anomalies generated by interpretation of Landsat images. Chromites and picroilmenites of possible kimberlitic affinity were detected in 6 out of 51 samples (Figure 3). Detailed air photo interpretation was carried out over anomalous sample sites to define possible kimbertitic intrusive targets. A follow up sampling program of the anomalous sites returned negative results except for one stream sediment sample (No.023), which returned three possible kimberlitic chromites from downstream of Garnet Gully. It is not known if the chromites are derived from the Brigooda diatreme

5.0 Geological Setting

The pre-Cainozoic rocks of the region were part of the accretionery wedge of the New England fold Belt and are assigned to the Yarraman Subprovince (Cranfield et. al., 2001). These rocks are intruded or overlain by Permian to Triassic rocks of the Southeast Queensland Volcanic and Plutonic Province (SEQVP). Major intrusive elements of the SEQVP include the Boondooma Igneous Complex that forms basement to the Brigooda area.

The SEQVP is overlain and intruded by Tertiary volcanics and minor sediments of the Main Range – Lamington Province of Miocene age. A major deep weathering profile of presumed Miocene age mantles all older rocks.

Interpretation of gravity images of Australia suggest that Brigooda lies at the intersection of two major lineaments – the northeast trending Darling River Lineament and a major continental scale west- northwest trending lineament.

6.0 Gem Occurrences

Gem quality red almandine garnets are reported from two main areas within the tenement area at Brigooda and Ballogie. Fossicking has been conducted over a period of more than 30 years in the area with current activities focused on ML 6602 at Garnet Gully where stones up to 100ct are commonly found. Other gemstones present with the garnet include peridote (gem quality olivine), rare zircon, sapphire, anorthoclase and diamond.

During a study of the Garnet Gully area, Alan Robertson (1994) recovered two diamonds of about 0.2 to 0.3ct weight. One of the stones, a rounded yellow crystal, was directly related to the main diatreme breccia making this one of the most important occurrence in eastern Queensland. Since the initial discovery, as many as 20 diamonds have been found by fossickers in trap sites downstream from the breccia (Les Koy pers. com). It is the

only place in Queensland where diamonds can be directly linked with source rocks consisting of alkali basalt and its pyroclastic derivatives. Robertson (1992 and 1996) noted the close spatial association of diamond, sapphire and zircon with Cretaceous- Cainozoic volcanism elsewhere in eastern Queensland. The surface morphology (e.g. resorption/corrosion features), physical properties and colour of some of the diamonds from Brigooda match those seen on diamonds from Copeton (Meyer, 1997).

7.0 Work Program – Year One

7.1 Geological Mapping

The author undertook a detailed airphoto geological interpretation of the Brigooda Prospect covering an area of approximately 14km² during May 2002 (see Figure 5 below).

Figure 5 Garnet Gully – Detailed Geology (Fact Map)

Basement rocks are various phases of the Permo-Triassic Boodooma Igneous Complex comprising mostly weathered biotite granite, diorite and porphyritic biotite-hornblende granite. Scattered remnants of Eocene and Oligocene gravels and grit from an early Tertiary land surface survive on granite hilltops. Several clusters of circular features

identified on both air photos and landsat images represent Miocene volcanic eruptive centres. The main vent, located on the north side of the Brigooda – Proston Road, has been studied in detail by the Geological Survey of Queensland and the Australian Museum (Robertson et al, 1985). It is associated with a string of NNW trending mafic bodies. Lava from the main vent forms a sequence of at least five flows of alkali basalt and ankaramite. The basalt includes anorthoclase, amphibole and augite megacryst types, most of which are chemically akin to basanite and nephelinite. Most of the lava flowed southwards in a series of tongue-shaped bodies that now form black soil covered terraces. Both granite and basalts have in places been subject to lateralization represented by deep weathering and ferricrete developed on hilltops and ridges.

Several volcanic breccias have been mapped at Brigooda. They appear to belong to a younger episode than the bulk of the basalts in the prospect area and are not lateritized. A crescent shaped body exposed around the southern side of the main vent (referred to above) contains pulverised granite and basalt fragments. A much larger breccia body is exposed at the southern end of the main basalt flow in the vicinity of Garnet Gully. It contains abundant unsorted lithic and crystal fragments from upper mantle as well as crustal sources (see photograph below). Drilling by BHP along the eastern flank of the pipe indicated that in this area the breccia formed a sub-horizontal layer of lapilli tuff, typical of a diatreme breccia rim phases. The postulated centre of the breccia pipe is 100m to the southeast of the BHP drilling based on increasing size and density of breccia clasts. Recent mapping has extended the known limits of the breccia to over 300m in diameter.

Volcanic eruptions within the Brigooda area have been dated at 17.8 Ma (Roberson et al 1985). The age of the diatreme breccia from which Alan Robertson recovered a diamond is placed at 0.46 Ma (K-Ar on orthoclase feldspar). However, more recently, BHP Minerals conducted K-Ar dating on fresh amphibole in breccia from both Brigooda and Ballogie returning dates of 19 Ma and 43 Ma respectively. The latter is far older than a previously reported date of 16 Ma from an anorthoclase megacryst in basalt at Ballogie (Hollis et al, 1983). BHP Minerals pointed out it is possible that all the amphibole for dating came from clasts of volcanics of 43 Ma, which were incorporated into a breccia event of 16 Ma (Torr, 1996).

7.2 Petrography

Dr Jane Barron examined a sample of the Brigooda breccia and concluded that the rock resulted from an explosive event associated with diatreme formation (Barron, 2002a). It is dominated by disaggregated granitic minerals and aggregates from mid- to high-level crustal source, and also contains subordinate material from a disaggregated spinel lherzolitic upper mantle source (refer to Royle, 2003(a)).

7.3 Ground Magnetics

A small ground magnetic survey was read over the area surrounding the Garnet Gully diamond occurrence. The survey objective was to achieve improved definition of an airborne magnetic anomaly thought to coincide with the Garnet Gully diamond occurrence. However, it was later found that these third-party data were mis-located, and the target anomaly lay approximately 1.5km to the north of the location defined by the airborne survey. Consequently, the ground magnetic survey planned using the airborne data did not cover the anomaly, but did cover the diamond occurrence and the surrounding area.

Details of survey specifications, processing and interpretation have been previously reported (Royle, 2003(a)).

diatreme breccia.

The survey successfully mapped the gross geology, defining locations of mafic intrusive and extrusive rocks (see Figure 6 above). The mafic/ultramafic diatreme breccia thought to represent the primary source of the diamonds did not have a distinguishable magnetic response, although there is a negatively-polarised response spatially associated with the breccia, which may relate to either an underlying intrusive or to the younger lava flows. It is recommended that further geophysical work focus on the possible application of electromagnetic methods to map the breccia, exploiting its expected high conductivity in comparison to the country rocks.

7.4 Soil Geochemistry

The Mobile Metal Ion (MMI-D) leachant was trailed across the main Brigooda (Garnet Gully) diatreme breccia to investigate its applicability as a lithological discriminator for diamond exploration in Eastern Australia. Numerous case studies of known diamondiferous kimberlite or lamproite intrusions in Australia and Canada comparing

MMI and conventional geochemistry have shown that the MMI technique can effectively highlight kimberlites under variable thicknesses of younger cover and can even discriminate between different intrusive breccia phases within the same body (Russell Birrell, pers com., 2002).

Soil samples were collected at 50m intervals along a 950m east-west orientated line. After removing about 10cm of soil and organic matter a sample of sieved –2mm mesh soil was taken and submitted to ALS Chemex, Perth for analysis for “MMI suite D” including, Mg, Nb, Cr, Ni, Co, Pd, Y, Rb. Details of sample locations and analytical results can be found in Figure 5 and 6 and Royle, 2003(a).

Data Treatment

The geochemical data generated by MMI is very precise and is best interpreted using “response ratios” to identify anomalous trends and patterns. Response ratios have been calculated for each element within the data set, involving calculation of a background for each element using the following methodology:

Each element was selected individually and the lowest 25% of the data for all the samples analysed was identified.

Any value less than the detection limit was included by allocating a value half of thedetection limit an estimate value.

After determining the lowest quartile (25%) of the data, the average of these values was then calculated. This was assigned as the background value for that element within the specific data set of the survey area.

Response ratios were calculated for individual samples by dividing each raw value by the predetermined background value for that element. The numbers were then rounded to give whole numbers greater than or equal to one. Essentially a Response Ratio value is a simple measure of ‘times background’ response at each sample site.

Data Presentation

To assist with interpretation, stacked bar charts presenting MMI response ratios along the orientation traverse, were produced to highlight trends and anomalous patterns as shown in Figure 7.

Data Verification

A review of check and duplicate MMI assay data showed that the responses were within acceptable limits for interpretation. Laboratory repeats are good with all assays at significant levels showing good repeatability and thus acceptable precision.

Comments

The graph presented in the figure below demonstrates the most significant responses in the geochemical data set.

Figure 7 Brigooda MMI Soil Orientation; vertical scale response ratio values, horizontal scale sample numbers. The partially exposed breccia is represented by samples P60707 to P60716

Review of the analytical data shows a significant geochemical response over the known breccia body. The levels of Ni are very significant and generally they would represent Ni sulphide mineralization in greenstone terrains. Rb and Y are identifying granite terrains and clearly the breccia is not a typical kimberlitic intrusive as they are usually associated with characteristic anomalous Nb, Rb, Y responses. However, the strong coincidence of anomalous Co-Ni-Mg indicates that there is capacity in the MMI geochemistry to discriminate and possibly prioritise buried basanite pipes in the region.

7.5 Indicator Mineralogy

A representative heavy mineral concentrate sample (PCB 1) of the fine fraction (-2mm + 1mm) of gravel from the current Garnet Gully workings, located 50m downstream of the western edge of the diatreme breccia was supplied to Dr B.J. Barron for electron

microprobe analysis. Results have previously been reported (Royle (a), 2003). The Brigooda garnets (<22 wt % FeO) are plotted in terms of TiO2 versus Na20 in Figure 8 (below). This plot distinguishes the compositional fields for mantle eclogite (eclogite II); diamond eclogite (eclogite I); and constrains the Cr-poor megacrystic garnet field. The plot shows that one grain, and possibly four more plot in the diamond eclogite (Group 1 eclogite) compositional field. These are discriminated from a moderate garnet population (11 grains) of non-diamondiferous eclogite II, and abundant low Cr-megacrysts (>44 grains). Barron (2002b) concluded that the garnet compositions in the Brigooda diatreme breccia confirmed that diamond eclogite facies rocks exist at depth and are most probably the source of diamonds.

Figure 8 Brigooda Garnet Analysis

Review of historical AKD results of regional heavy mineral stream and loam sampling and sampling by BHP at Ballogie failed to identify diamonds. Several chromites interpreted by AKD to be of possible kimberlitic affinity are now thought not to be significant. Jane Barron (pers com) has pointed out that heavy mineral concentrates from eastern Australia generally are swamped by peridotite minerals such as olivine, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, and chrome spinel (chromite). These minerals, which come from abundant degraded spinel lherzolite mantle xenoliths in Mesozoic-Tertiary basaltic rocks and diatremes, cannot be used for indicator minerals. The subduction diamonds typical of eastern Australia are +90% eclogitic. Accordingly, the prospective indicator minerals suite should be ultra-high-pressure eclogitic minerals, mainly garnet together with corundum, kyanite, staurolite, sapphire, ilmenite, picroilmenite, and magnetite.

7.6 Aeromagnetics

Digital grided aeromagnetic data for the DNRM Kingaroy Airdata survey has been processed by Geoimage including the production of TMI, VD1 and VD2 images. Interpretation of these data covering EPM 13506 showed the underlying Boondooma Igneous Complex rocks are magnetically subdued. Discrete dipolar magnetic anomalies that initially attracted SED to the area have been field checked and found to be volcanic plugs with no evidence of ultra-mafic breccia as seen at Brigooda (Figure 5). The area is also criss-crossed by numerous narrow E-W, N-S, NNE and NNW trending magnetic linear features interpreted to be basalt dykes.

7.7 Remote Sensing

Examination of Landsat 7 TM (bands 1, 4 & 7) imagery covering EPM 13506 demonstrates that the area has well-developed drainage suitable for heavy mineral stream sampling (Figure 10).

The structural pattern observed on the Landsat images and supported by aeromagnetics shows primary fractures and faults trend NNW with a subsidiary northeast and east west tends. The Brigooda volcanic centres are aligned along the prominent NNW trend and appear to form close to the intersection point of this trend and subsidiary east west and northeast cross fractures. Elsewhere in the tenement clusters of circular features associated the main fracture trend are interpreted as possible other centres of basaltic eruption. This is supported by the coincidence of some circular structures with thumb print aeromagnetic anomalies either normally or reversely polarised.

8. Work Programme – Year 2

8.1 Geological Mapping

Detailed geological mapping of the Brigooda (Garnet Gully) breccia pipe was undertaken concurrently with grid soil sampling. The outline of the diatreme breccia pipe was refined, however the overall geological framework remained more or less the same (Figure 11).

8.2 Soil Geochemistry

After the apparent success using MMI geochemistry at Garnet Gully to discriminate the ultra-basic pipe and map geology under shallow soil cover, a systematic soil MMI sampling programme was completed over the breccia pipe on a 50 x 50m grid.

A total of 90 samples were collected along 9 x 500m long north-south oriented lines in an attempt to differentiate the ultra-basic breccia from the overlying and surrounding basalt lava flows. Samples were submitted to MMI Technology, Perth for multi elements analysis (MMI-M leachant) including, Mg, Ni, Nb, Rb, Co, Cr, Pd, Y, La, Ce, Nd, Ti, Zr, Sr, Th, Li, Sc, Pd and U. Details of sample locations and analytical results can be found in Figure 11 and Appendix 2. Response ratios have been calculated for each element within the data set in attempt to identify anomalous trends (refer to Section 7.4 for methodology). Thematic maps for selected elements are presented in Figure 11.

Merging of the original east-west orientation soil line with the new MMI data suggests that there is a levelling problem. As there were no common sample points between the two data sets the only way to reconcile the data would be to re-sample the grid. It should also be noted that two different leachants were used in the two sampling programmes (MMI-D and MMI-M respectively) which could also have introduced differences in the reposes.

Review of the analytical data shows the granite basement and the overlying basalt lava can be readily discriminated. Granite is defined mainly by elevated Rb, Ti, Th, Sc, Y, U and Pb while basalt is enriched in Mg, Ni, Cr, Co, Pd and Zr, Nd, Sc, Ce and La. There is a suggestion that different phases of granite and separate lava flows may be discriminated by multi-element patterns. Unfortunately the new MMI soil data has not discriminated the breccia from the basalt. This may be due to the fact that the diatreme breccia clasts and basalt possibly accessed the same pipe and therefore would tend to give a similar geochemical signature (J Barron, pers. com., 2004). It is also now speculated that the ultra high pressure minerals such as garnet, sapphire and diamonds found associated with Tertiary volcanics in Eastern Australia can be brought to surface by normal basaltic eruptions.

9.0 Conclusions & Recommendations

Work by SED over the last 24 months has involved:

a) geological mapping and MMI geochemistry which has better defined the limits of the diamond-bearing diatreme breccia at Garnet Gully, and

b) sampling at Garnet Gully which has recovered diamond-eclogitic garnets shedding from the Brigooda diatreme breccia and confirmed this as the most likely source of alluvial diamonds recover by fossickers.

Brigooda is one of the rare locations in Queensland where diamonds can be directly linked with a hard rock source. For this reason the Garnet Gully diatreme breccia became the focus of SED’s exploration programme.

The surface morphology, physical properties, size and colour of the recovered diamonds match those seen in diamonds from the Copeton area of New South Wales.

Diamonds are spatially associated with ultra-basic breccia pipes and Tertiary basaltic volcanic rocks and ultra-high pressure garnet and sapphire. They are non-conventional occurrences and quite different to kimberlite- and lamproite-hosted diamonds that produce almost all economic diamonds in the world.

Based on the results of the programme carried out by SED and previous sampling by BHP Minerals, it is concluded that the Brigooda diatreme breccia has been partially tested. Considering all the evidence at hand SED has concluded that an economic concentration of alluvial and/or hardrock-sourced diamonds within EPM 13506 is unlikely.

Other regional targets identified by previous exploration companies failed to produce evidence of diamonds.

Work by SED over the last 24 months in the Brigooda target area has therefore downgraded its prospectivity for economic concentrations of diamonds. Consequently a decision has been made to relinquish EPM 13506.
