PROJECTS
ABM Resources NL (“ABM” or the “Company”) is focussed on gold and gold-copper
projects in the Northern Territory of Australia.
For personal use only
The Twin Bonanza Gold Camp with its multiple targets is showing considerable potential
for both high-grade gold deposits and porphyry style (bulk tonnage) deposits. During the
quarter, drilling continued to test multiple targets at Twin Bonanza including extensions to
the 1.67million-ounce maiden Inferred Resource at the Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Deposit.
ABM is the largest exploration license holder in the Tanami – Arunta regions of the
Northern Territory. The Company firmly believes that the region is capable of further worldclass gold discoveries. ABM continues to prioritise its targets and a full target summary can
be found in Appendix 1.

Exploration Summary from June Quarter
For personal use only
During the Quarter, ABM:
1. Received drill results extending the mineralised footprint of the Buccaneer Porphyry
Gold Deposit.
2. Drilled a new discovery at the Caribbean Zone located north-west of Buccaneer.
3. Drilled a new discovery (results announced 04/07/2011) at the Empress Zone
located east of Buccaneer.
4. Commenced drilling at the Kroda Gold Project.
Figure 2. Location Map / Project Map of ABM’s Projects.
Twin Bonanza Gold Camp
The Twin Bonanza Gold Camp contains more than thirty targets, including the Buccaneer
Porphyry Gold Deposit and the Old Pirate Gold Prospect. Twin Bonanza is centred
approximately 22 kilometres south of the Tanami Road and 14 kilometres east of the
Western Australia – Northern Territory border. The Project spans the highly prospective
“Trans Tanami Structure” – an inferred regional / tectonic geological feature which hosts
numerous gold deposits including Newmont’s multi-million ounce Callie Gold Mine.

Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Prospect – Including 1.67Moz Maiden Resource
The Twin Bonanza Gold Camp includes the 1.67Moz Buccaneer Gold Porphyry Deposit.
The mineralisation extends from near surface to depths greater than 390 metres and is
open in several directions. The current Inferred Resource estimate does not yet include
any of the peripheral targets, such as the Old Pirate High Grade Prospect, where the
Company reported 43 metres grading 7.0g/t gold and 5 metres grading 274g/t gold in
drilling in 2010, or any of the other discoveries including the Caribbean Zone and the
Empress Zone. Details of the resource estimation are shown in Table 1 below (for full
details refer to announcement 21st Feb 2011).

Extensions of the Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Deposit
For personal use only
During the quarter ABM targeted extensions to the Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Deposit.
New drill results announced include:
 Hole BCRC100042 targeting north easterly extensions and beneath the Buccaneer
Deposit with:
o 241 metres averaging 0.53g/t gold (0.2g/t cut-off) including two separate
higher grade zones of:

70 metres averaging 0.7g/t gold (0.5g/t cut-off)

43 metres averaging 1.21g/t gold (0.5g/t cut-off).
 Hole BCRC100037 targeting westerly extensions of Buccaneer intersected:
o 174 metres averaging 0.49g/t gold (0.2g/t cut-off) including:

23 metres averaging 2.33g/t (0.5g/t cut-off) including:
 8 metres averaging 6.23g/t gold (1.1g/t cut-off) and
 1 metre averaging 44.9g/t gold.
 Hole BCRC100036 intersected the first recognised multi-element (gold-coppersilver-molybdenum) mineralisation on Buccaneer with:
 19 metres averaging 0.83g/t gold, 0.24% copper, 0.031% molybdenum,
1.38g/t silver.
The Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Deposit is hosted in a porphyrytic syeno-monzonite (a rock
similar to granite). The porphyry body extends for a further 2 kilometres to the north of the
current drilling. Testing of possible mineralised zones elsewhere in the porphyry will form
part of the 2011 program. Gold is hosted in quartz veins and fractures and is associated
with other minerals such as arsenopyrite and chalcopyrite. The higher grade zones are
currently inferred to dip gently to the north-east and/or are steeper dipping north-south
striking zones. Detailed geological work is still ongoing and this model may change.
The Buccaneer Porphyry is the only intrusive hosted gold resource deposit identified to
date in the Tanami region. Other deposits such as the Callie, Coyote and the Central
Tanami mines are hosted primarily in quartz veins within metapmorphosed sedimentary
and mafic igneous rocks.
During the quarter ABM drilled several peripheral targets around Buccaneer which led to
the discovery of the Caribbean and the Empress Zones.

New Discovery - Caribbean Zone
For personal use only
ABM identified a new zone of mineralisation located north-west of the Buccaneer Porphyry
Gold Resource. Drilling at this zone intersected 21 metres averaging 2.55g/t gold including
13 metres averaging 3.93g/t gold. The Caribbean Zone is an inferred north-south striking
fault / vein zone currently interpreted to link mineralisation in hole BCRC100045 with a
mineralised zone intersected in historic drilling, which includes 5 metres grading 27.35g/t
gold including 2 metres grading 67.44g/t gold. Drilling is underway to further test this
target.

New Discovery - Empress Zone
For personal use only
The Empress Zone discovery is a newly recognised zone of oxide gold mineralisation
hosted in quartz veins within sedimentary rocks located approximately 250 metres east of
the Buccaneer Porphyry Deposit. The Empress Zone was drilled during the quarter and
results were announced on 04/07/2011. Near surface drill results from the first hole at the
Empress Zone intersected 43 metres at 1.02g/t gold including 10 metres at 2.64 g/t gold.
.

Old Pirate Gold Prospect (High Grade)
The Old Pirate High Grade Gold Prospect consists of a 3 kilometre long gold anomaly
located approximately 1,800 metres from the Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Prospect.
Old Pirate consists of outcropping gold bearing quartz veins hosted by sediments. More
than 15 individual veins have been mapped covering an overall area of 600 metres by 250
metres and range from 30cm to several metres in width. Drill results indicate gold extends
from surface to at least 60 metres depths. Gold is very coarse and can be high grade in
the veins as indicated by some rock chip samples grading greater than 2000g/t gold (refer
release 8 July 2010). Historic drill results and more recent drilling by ABM Resources in
2010 confirm the potential of the area.

Old Pirate Gold Prospect Metallurgical Test-Work
Preliminary Metallurgical test-work was carried out on 100kg of quartz vein material
gathered from 5 outcropping veins at the Old Pirate Gold Prospect. Quartz vein samples
were selected to approximate the average visual nature of the veins based on quartz
colour and other minor element content. A total 85.4% of gold was extracted using
gravitational methods and a total of 99.5% of gold was extracted using gravitational and
cyanide methods. The head-grade of the overall sample was calculated at 6.05g/t gold.
Drilling is underway to test the southern extensions of Old Pirate with 1 deep diamond core
and 3 deep reverse circulation (RC) holes complete and pending assay.
In the coming quarter ABM will conduct a bulk-trenching test of the near surface and
outcropping veins at Old Pirate.
Twin Bonanza Gold Camp – Additional Targets
In addition to the Buccaneer Porphyry Gold Deposit, the Old Pirate High Grade Gold
Prospect and the new Caribbean and Empress Zones, ABM has identified and prioritised a
further 28 regional targets on the western and eastern side of the 40km x 40km Twin
Bonanza Gold Camp. ABM intends to drill approximately 10 of the these extensional
targets in the coming 2 quarters.

Barrow Creek Regional Project
Kroda Gold Project
For personal use only
The Kroda Gold Project is located 18 kilometres west of the Stuart Highway, 30 kilometres
north from the town of Barrow Creek and 200 kilometres south of Tennant Creek. The
project consists of 4 individual prospects (Kroda 1 to 4) with a combined anomalous strike
length of 14 kilometres. The principal target commodity is gold, however, Kroda 2 in
particular has anomalous copper associated with the gold. The Project is well serviced with
infrastructure and is located on pastoral land close to the Stuart Highway, the Ghan Rail
Line and the Northern Territory Gas Pipeline.
The Kroda Gold Project is located within the Company’s Barrow Creek Regional Project
area. The Barrow Creek Regional Project consists of a 160 kilometre long geophysical
gravity trend with associated metamorphosed sedimentary rocks, dolerite intrusions and
large granite intrusions. The region has several known mineral occurrences including gold,
copper, nickel, zinc, tin and tantalum.
Figure 8. Location of the Barrow Creek Regional Project and Kroda Gold Project.
11
For personal use only
During the quarter, drilling commenced on the multi-target Kroda Gold Project with an
initial program of 12 to 14 holes planned to depths of between 100 metres and 300 metres.
This work follows up on previous shallow drilling at Kroda 3 which returned:

6 metres averaging 25.90g/t gold and

15 metres averaging 5.85g/t gold.
In addition, a copper target located at the Kroda 2 prospect will also be tested. As at the
end of the quarter a total of four holes had been completed with results expected shortly.
Hyperion Gold Project
During the quarter ABM conducted a geophysical gravity survey at the Hyperion Gold
Project. The survey was designed to search for a possible buried intrusion (granite body)
which is the possible source of mineralisation at Hyperion. This work indicated an overall
gravity low to the south of the main Hyperion gold mineralisation, which is interpreted to be
a buried intrusion, and also highlighted several cross-cutting geological structures that may
provide other short-term drill targets.
Previously announced drill results from ABM at Hyperion include:

22 metres averaging 2.57g/t gold including:
o
11 metres averaging 4.29g/t gold

8 metres averaging 2.86g/t gold

5 metres averaging 3.65g/t gold and

7 metres averaging 2.26g/t gold.
These drill results confirmed deeper extensions of the Hyperion Gold System and are in
addition to oxide gold zones results drilled by previous explorers, including:

60 metres averaging 2.57g/t gold including:
o

21 metres averaging 4.27g/t gold
28 metres averaging 5.07g/t gold including:
o
13 metres averaging 10.41g/t gold.
