Description
The 100% PacMag owned Ann Mason project boasts a mineral resource of 810 million tonnes @ 0.4% copper, 0.004% molybdenum (7.1 billion pounds of contained copper metal). High grade copper and molybdenum mineralisation, such as 650 metres @ 0.67% copper including 234 metres @ 1.07% copper, 0.02% molybdenum, were intersected on the southern margin of the deposit. The Company’s current focus is on testing large gaps to the north west along trend of these higher grade copper intersections as well as to the east where the deposit remains open.
PacMag holds a commanding land position in the Ann Mason area, one of North America’s exciting resurgent copper districts. The Company was an early starter in the district and assembled a high-quality portfolio of deposits and targets prior to significant competitor activity. The district has past and current endowment of 24 billion pounds of copper and is now the focus of significant exploration and pre-development activity by numerous North American copper companies in competition with PacMag (Figure 1).

Project Status
Drilling is in progress at the Company’s Ann Mason project with planned drill testing of a total of nine targets including three resource/resource-extension targets and six high-grade copper skarn targets within close proximity to the Ann Mason deposit.

Project Description
The Blue Rose copper-gold joint venture project covers 2 tenements with a total area of approximately 1,000 square kilometres. PacMag is the manager of the JV and holds a 51% interest; Giralia Resources retains a 49% contributing equity.
Location
Olary Region South Australia, 300km north east of
Project Status
Diamond drilling commenced in mid-January at the Netley Hill Prospect. The target has key parameters of a large porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralised system.
The results from the geophysical survey integrated with the geology, previous drilling and magnetics were combined to define an outstanding drill target that will be tested in the current drill program. The Company has commenced an initial four hole diamond drilling program, with two fences of two holes to a planned depth of approximately 350 metres to test the central portion of this exciting target. The drill program will be approximately 5-6 weeks in duration
Project Description
Corktree is on the western edge of the Earaheedy Basin in Western Australia. The area has previously been explored by WMC and CRA, whose drilling returned samples including 24 metres @ 0.22% copper, 16 metres @ 0.26% copper, and 3 metres @ 1.6% copper.
The primary source of the widespread secondary copper mineralisation at Corktree has not yet been found, nor has the near-surface anomaly been closed off. The location of the prospect at the edge of a mid-Proterozoic sedimentary basin abutting a basement high, and the presence of metalliferous inclusions in hydrocarbons, suggest potential for large sediment hosted base metal mineralisation such as that mined at Mount Isa in Queensland.
Location
Western Australia
Project Status
Awaiting tenement grant.
Description
The Arrino prospect is located in the Irwin sub-basin, 250 kilometres north of Perth. Known copper mineralisation at Baxters has previously been subjected to exploration by MIM, BHP and CRA, including geophysics and limited drilling (better intersections include 4.5 metres @ 2.35% copper). A substantial aeromagnetic anomaly and partly coincident gravity feature east of known copper mineralisation remains unexplained and untested. A surface copper in soil anomaly is coincident with the up-dip projection of the western edge of the magnetic feature, and drilling in this area recorded native copper and malachite disseminations.

Project Status
Data compilation of previous exploration activities has commenced on the Arrino Project in order to refine drill targets.
Description
The advanced Sundance uranium project that PacMag is divesting includes major parts of the Oshoto uranium deposits in Wyoming, USA. Historical drill intersections from the area acquired include; 3.8 metres (12.5 feet) @ 0.243% eU3O8, 3.5 metres (11.5 feet) @ 0.159% eU3O8, 6.2 metres (20.5 feet) @ 0.083% eU3O8 and 9.1 metres (30 feet) @ 0.056% eU3O8 with local vertical stacking of uranium roll fronts.
The portfolio includes eight wholly owned licences and applications covering known uranium occurrences in South Australia and uranium endowed channels in the northern portion of the Yilgarn Craton located in Western Australia.

Project Status
PacMag Metals Limited (ASX:PMH) and Peninsula Minerals Limited (ASX:PEN) have agreed to merge their international uranium projects, spanning 3 continents.
PacMag will receive 200 million fully paid ordinary shares in PEN as consideration, and a refund of its costs to date ($200,000) in exchange for its Wyoming USA, South Australian and Western Australian uranium projects.
Subject to regulatory and shareholder approval, PacMag intends to distribute at least 80% of the PEN consideration shares in-specie (free) to holders of PMH ordinary shares at a ratio of between 1.05 and 1.55 PEN shares for each PMH share held at the record date, with the final ratio depending on the exercise of PacMag options. Holders of PacMag options (ASX:PMHOA) will need to exercise their options into ordinary PMH shares if they wish to be eligible to receive the in-specie entitlement. Post the in-specie distribution of consideration shares, PacMag will retain a share holding in PEN of approximately 4.7%.
PacMag will continue to focus on its advanced copper-molybdenum-gold assets at Ann Mason in the USA and Blue Rose in South Australia as well as continuing to assess additional advanced resource opportunities.
PacMag’s rationale is to unlock value for its shareholders by enabling a well funded (PEN held $4.5 million cash at 31/12/06), dedicated uranium exploration team provided by Peninsula to ensure rapid resource definition on the combined advanced stage uranium projects of Karoo in South Africa and Sundance in Wyoming (USA) with the simultaneous progression of PacMag’s copper-molybdenum-gold projects.
New Uranium Projects Under Review
In addition to the uranium projects recently divested to Peninsula Minerals Limited, the Company continues to review uranium resources, particularly in the USA where PacMag has established presence and a competitive advantage in acquisitions, which could if successfully secured, be stand alone projects. If the company is involved again in the uranium sector it will only be via advanced uranium resource opportunities.
Description
PacMag Metals Limited has sold to Zinc Co Australia Limited (ZCA) all data and information pertaining to the Horse Spring Zinc Project in the Kimberley District Western Australia.
Subject to its successful listing on ASX of ZCA, 300,000 ordinary shares in ZCA shall be allotted to PMH. The ZCA prospectus is currently on offer and anticipated to close mid-May 2007.
The Horse Spring Zinc Project is located in the Kimberley District of Western Australia. Previous exploration drilling returned significant zinc and lead sulphide mineralisation from depths generally less than 100 metres, hosted by limestone in and adjacent to the Linder Hill Fault Zone including:
Location
Kimberley District Western Australia
Project Status
The project requires additional drilling to test for zinc deposits hosted within carbonate rocks cut by the Linder Hill Fault Zone. The target is well defined and warrants a significant further exploration effort.
