Exploration Mallee Bull Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 70%, CBH earning up to 50%). Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation. Drilling and exploration continued at the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic discovery, 100km south of Cobar in NSW. As previously announced, Mallee Bull is subject to an $8.3m farm-in agreement with CBH Resources Ltd. During the quarter, Stage 2 of the Mallee Bull farm-in agreement was completed. CBH Resource Limited has elected to proceed with Stage 3 of the agreement, which will see CBH spend a further $3.33 million on exploration at Mallee Bull to earn an additional 20%, taking CBH’s interest in Mallee Bull to 50%. Peel remains operator throughout the farm-in process. By late July, exploration field activities at Mallee Bull had recommenced, with drilling expected to restart in August 2013. Diamond drilling Drillhole MBDD009W2W1 summary MBDD009W2W1 which commenced in March was completed in this quarter. The hole, designed to test a new strong DHEM conductor, intersected several zones of important mineralisation: a zone of pyrite-pyrrhotite-rich massive sulphides returning 11m @ 0.55% Cu, 1.62 g/t Au, 24 g/t Ag and 124 g/t Co from 496m; a broad zone of variable stringer/breccia sulphide mineralisation returning 84m @ 4.42% Cu, 38 g/t Ag, 0.14 g/t Au from 575m including a zone of intense chalcopyrite-dominant mineralisation returning 26m @ 11.39% Cu, 80 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au from 626m, and a zone of quartz-healed breccia with lesser chalcopyrite-dominant sulphide mineralisation from 666m which included 6m @ 0.7% Cu, 15 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au from 669m. The zone of mineralisation at 575m represents the highest grade mineralisation intercepted at Mallee Bull to date, and is positioned ~60m down dip of mineralisation in MBDD009. The true width of the intercepts is estimated at about 35-40% of the downhole intercept. Drillhole MBDD009W3 summary Drillhole MBDD009W3 was designed to test for a southerly extension to mineralisation at ~500m below surface and intersected a 10m zone of strong mineralisation: 10m @ 4.54% Cu, 31 g/t Ag, 0.13 g/t Au from 502m, with the true width of the mineralised zone estimated to be ~6m. Drillhole MBDD009W3 is located about 40m south of MBDD009W1 which also returned very strong copper mineralisation. Drillholes MBDD011 and MBDD011W1 summary Drillholes MBDD011 and MBDD011W1 were drilled from a footwall position and were designed to test a broad strong chargeability anomaly located to the east of Mallee Bull and to test for mineralisation at deeper levels within Mallee Bull. Drillhole MBDD011 intersected a highly altered and sheared zone interpreted as a possible “feeder” structure. Peel is encouraged by the presence of such a zone and notes that Cobar-style depositst typically “pinch and swell” and generally occur as clustered and stacked bodies.

RC drilling A 9 hole RC drilling programme for a total 1,621m was completed within EL7461 in April 2013, testing several newly discovered IP anomalies as well as several areas of anomalous geochemistry. Several drillholes returned anomalous geochemistry however results were generally not signiificant. Geophysics DHEM survey data collected from Butchers Dog drill hole BDRCDD001 was recently re-appraised, and a moderate-to strong offhole anomaly identified. BDRCDD001 was drilled early in 2012 and was designed to test the Butchers Dog prospect which is defined by a very large magnetic anomaly centred about 1km north of Mallee Bull. The newly identified DHEM anomaly is thought to be located within 200m of the bottom of hole and correlates well with the trend of magnetic anomalism. Peel believes that there is high potential for the Butchers Dog anomaly is associated with mineralisation akin to that at Mallee Bull; mineralisation associated with Mallee Bull produces both magnetic and electromagnetic anomalism and exploration efforts at Mallee Bull have been successfully guided by DHEM surveys. The identified conductor will have its geometry refined with additional DHEM surveying prior to drill testing in the September quarter.

Mineralogy A mineralogical investigation of four samples (two massive sulphide samples, two stringer sulphide samples) from MBDD002 and MBDD009 at Mallee Bull was completed in May 2013 using QEMSCAN technology, with the aim of identifying the minerals in the samples and determining the mode of occurrence (grain size and liberation) of the Au, Cu, Ag, Pb, and Zn minerals. Conclusions from the investigation are as follows:

Massive sulphide samples were dominated by pyrite, lesser pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite.

Stringer sulphides samples were dominated by base metal sulphides with either chalcopyrite, sphalerite or galena as the dominant sulphide.

Gold occurs in an electrum alloy with silver and mercury, and also with antimony in aurostibite. In the massive sulphides the electrum is very silver rich; in the stringer sulphides the electrum is silver-poor.

Copper deports mostly to chalcopyrite.

Lead deports mostly to galena with minor trace amounts in boulangerite and bournonite.

Zinc deports only to sphalerite which shows good liberation where enriched.

Very good liberation of stringer sample chalcopyrite was noted. Cobar Superbasin Project: Copper, Silver, Gold, Lead, Zinc; Western NSW (PEX 100%). Targets: Cobar-style polymetallic mineralisation; Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation.

During the quarter exploration continued on Peel’s 100%-owned Cobar Superbasin Project tenure with work involving geological mapping and geochemical surveys to assist in prioritisation of targets for future work programmes. This work will continue in the coming quarter. Also during the quarter, Peel reached agreement with private party Weddarla Pty Ltd to purchase strategic exploration licence EL7403 ‘Sandy Creek’, located about 20km north of the Mallee Bull copper-polymetallic deposit, and about 80km south of Cobar NSW. A review of exploration data related to the namesake Sandy Creek prospect was completed and there are strong similarities to results yielded from early-stage exploration at Mallee Bull, including a similar geological and structural environment along with coincident magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies. Historically, a strong downhole electromagnetic (DHEM) anomaly has also been identified at the Sandy Creek prospect, as well as strong geochemical anomalism supported by high-grade polymetallic historic drilling results. Subsequent to the quarter, initial exploration of Sandy Creek by Peel utilising a high-powered DHEM survey confirmed the presence of a strong offhole anomaly that remains practically untested by drilling. Follow-up exploration including drilling is planned for the coming weeks. Apollo Hill Project: Gold; Northeastern Goldfields WA (PEX 100%). Targets: Archaean gold deposits. A programme of work was submitted for the Apollo Hill licences E39/1198 and M39/296 and subsequently approved by the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum. The programme of work is for up to 24 Aircore/RC holes and is designed to test for mineralised extensions to the main mineralised zone at Apollo Hill. Drilling is planned to commence in the September quarter. Attunga Project: Gold, Tungsten, Molybdenum, Copper; Northeastern NSW (PEX 100%) Targets: Intrusive-Related Gold System and/or Orogenic gold mineralisation; skarn type tungsten-molybdenum mineralisation and skarn-type precious/base metals mineralisation

Two diamond drill holes have been planned for early August at the Attunga Tungsten deposit; these holes will follow up RC and diamond drilling completed in July and August 2008 where the following grades were intercepted; 2m @ 24.21% WO3 and 1.71% Mo from 22m downhole from RC drillhole ATP1-D, and 10m @ 0.27% WO3 and 0.04% Mo downhole from RC drillhole ATP1-G. Rise & Shine: Gold; Central Otago New Zealand (PEX 100%) Targets: Orogenic gold mineralisation. No fieldwork was undertaken during the quarter. Ruby Silver Project: Silver, Gold; Northeastern NSW (PEX 100%). Targets: Silver mineralisation associated with fracture-fill quartz-carbonate veining. No fieldwork was undertaken during the quarter. Morawa: Copper, Gold; Central West WA (PEX 100%) Targets: Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide mineralisation. No fieldwork was undertaken during the quarter. Yerranderie: Silver, Lead, Gold; Central NSW. During the quarter, tenement EL7356 ‘Yerranderie’ was relinquished following its expiry on 23rd June 2013.

Corporate During the quarter, Peel Mining finalised the terms of a share placement at a market price of 49 cents per share, predominantly to new and existing institutional investors, to raise ~$5.1 million before costs. Sydney-based investment company, Platypus Asset Management joined the share register of Peel, subscribing for 5,500,000 shares. Existing cornerstone investor Acorn Capital Limited also subscribed for an additional 2,500,000 shares. Several large existing shareholders subscribed for the balance of the placement. Proceeds from the issue will be used to fund Peel’s future share of costs at Mallee Bull once partner CBH Resources completes its earn-in at the project and will also be used to fund the purchase of a 20,000 acre portion of Wirchilleba Station (where Mallee Bull is located) and to advance exploration of the Company’s Cobar Superbasin (including Sandy Creek), Apollo Hill, Attunga and Rise and Shine Projects. Subsequent to the quarter’s end, a General Meeting of Shareholders was held. This meeting successfully ratified the January and June placements of shares enabling the completion of the acquisition of Sandy Creek.
