(“Pungkut”) and towards the recommencement of sampling programs in Malawi.
2. REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
2.1 INDONESIA
Pungkut Gold Project, Sumatra (75%)
The commissioning of a Scoping Study into the feasibility of bringing the Sihayo 1 North and Sambung Inferred
Resources into mining production will provide Oropa with a framework to advance the project, and at the same time
give an indicative value of the Sihayo 1 North and Sambung resources which are presently significantly under-valued.
Promising results returned from recent drilling to the north-east of the Sihayo 1 North resource have identified a new
target in the Old Camp Area, which opens up a broad and previously unexplored area to potentially increase the
existing resources.
Drilling re-commenced at Hutabargot Julu in the South Sarahan area. Previous soil geochemical sampling revealed a
large gold and multi-element anomaly at the interpreted intersection of the Sarahan and Ali veins. Follow up mapping
revealed massive pervasive silicification and significant gold in rock chips and a reconnaissance shallow drilling
program was initiated to test for near-surface mineralisation. Deeper drilling is planned to test the intersection of
Sarahan and Ali veins, before returning to the Ali vein to follow up on the bonanza grade intersection in HUTDD018.

Sihayo 1 North
During August, independent consultants SRK Consulting (Australasia) Pty Ltd (“SRK”) commenced a Scoping Study
to determine the approximate costs and economics of mining and processing the combined Sihayo 1 North and
Sambung Inferred Resources. This economic model is well advanced and a report is expected in early November.
Oropa will use this information to generate work programs aimed at advancing Pungkut towards a pre-feasibility
study next year.
Final assays returned from the drilling at the North Western Extension indicated that the gold mineralised jasperoid is
thinner in that area. However, a new drilling program in the Old Camp Area following up on a concealed exploration
target has encountered significant gold intersections in both regolith and primary jasperoid mineralisation. Best results
include:
SHDD112: 27m @ 2.36 g/t Au from surface
10m @ 2.50 g/t Au from 58m
14m @ 2.35 g/t Au from 82m

3.6m @ 3.09 g/t Au from 21.4m
__________________________________________________________________________________

Exploration at the Old Camp Area is currently following up on an area adjacent to the north-east of the Sihayo 1 North
resource that was previously interpreted to have been closed off by a fence of drill holes completed by Oropa in 2005.
A number of test pits dug to depths of approximately 7m outlined significant gold in the regolith profile. Drilling was
subsequently initiated to test the extent of the regolith and a possible source of the mineralisation. To date, nine holes
have been drilled (including SHDD119, which failed to reach target depth and was replicated by nearby SHDD120).
This program has encountered significant near surface gold mineralisation in both thick regolith cover, and in-situ
jasperoid developed within silty-limestone over a 200m strike length. The silty-limestone appears to have formed in a
deep channel, situated behind what may have been a limestone reef (now marble) to the north-east of the main
resource (Figure 4). The south-western contact of the silty-limestone is bounded by a disconformity with volcanics.
This channel interpretation allows for a narrow but laterally continuous target which could pinch and swell along
strike. Further drilling along strike in both directions is on the agenda as there is no outcrop in the area, with host
bedrock either obscured by regolith or Tertiary sediments.
Similar style ‘jasperoid in silty-limestone’ has been observed 600m along strike to the north-west at Sihayo 2, where
extensive outcropping jasperoid was previously drill tested in 2004 (Figure 3), with the seven widely spaced holes
largely failing to intersect the outcropping mineralisation. Follow up drilling was not conducted due to the lower
grades in outcrop. However, this latest discovery indicates that the potential exists for the higher grade Old Camp
Area mineralisation to extend to Sihayo 2 and possibly beyond. Additionally, 400m along strike to the south-east of
the Old Camp Area, drill hole SHDD023 encountered 4.2m @ 3.36 g/t Au from 10.55m in jasperoid at the Tertiary
sediment – Permian limestone contact.
Based on these recent discoveries, the Old Camp mineralised trend may extend over a strike length in excess of 1.4km
from Sihayo 2 to SHDD023. Furthermore, to the north-east and east is an extensive area blanketed by Tertiary
sediments that are interpreted to be thin (supported by geological and ground magnetic interpretations) offering good
potential for additional concealed mineralisation. The Old Camp Area discovery is regarded as being an important
development with the potential to substantially add to the 1M oz Au Inferred Resources already outlined along the
Sihayo trend.

Hutabargot Julu
Hutabargot Julu has been Oropa’s primary regional exploration target in the North Block over the past nine months,
with programs testing intermediate-sulphidation epithermal quartz and massive silica alteration in veins interpreted to
extend over a strike length of up to 3km. Results from Oropa’s earlier drilling include a vein intersection of 5m @
37.7 g/t Au from 47m (Ali Vein - HUTDD018) supporting the potential of the area to host rich deposits as exist
elsewhere in Indonesia; Newcrest’s Gosowong and Kencana mines on Halmahera Island and Antam’s Pongkor mine
in West Java to mention a few.
During the Quarter, encouraging multi-element assay results were obtained from the Sarahan - Ali soil geochemical
sampling program. This program was based on 100m line spacings with 50m spaced samples, and was implemented
to establish the location of strongest alteration zones (Figure 6). Highlights are summarised below:
Table 2: Best results Hutabargot Julu soils
The soil geochemistry has outlined several anomalous areas; the most prominent of which is Sarahan South, located
south of the Simalagi River. The Sarahan South (plus 0.1 g/t Au) soil anomaly extends over 150m, with maximum
values of 12.8 g/t Au and 22 g/t Ag. Elevated anomalous lead, silver, arsenic, antinomy and molybdenum values are
indicative of a major fluid up-welling zone and a high priority target for deep mineralisation.
Geological mapping following up on two plus 5 g/t Au rock outcrop samples situated within the Sarahan South
anomaly has identified massive silica alteration and veining.
Anomalous gold and multi-element values have also been confirmed in soils at Sarahan Vein overlapping with
existing drilling targeting the vein with a maximum value of 2.78 g/t Au associated with a broader (plus 0.1 g/t Au)
soil geochemistry halo over the northern Sarahan vein. At the North Ali Vein, high gold values in soils of 3.4 g/t and
1.17 g/t Au warrant follow up geochemical sampling and geological mapping. A weak multi-element anomaly
located south-east of the 5m @ 37.7 g/t Au intersected in Ali Vein hole HUTDD018 will be followed up with drilling
to test for extensions of this bonanza grade mineralisation.
Diamond drilling commenced at Sarahan South targeting the massive silica alteration. Four shallow drill holes were
completed to test for near surface mineralisation. All drill holes intersected significant mineralisation within the vein.
Best results include:
HUTDD022: 12m @ 1.58 g/t Au from surface
HUTDD023: 2m @ 3.26 g/t Au from 7m
1m @ 3.36 g/t Au from 17m
Further drilling is planned at Sarahan South to test the epithermal system at depth. The Ali Vein is interpreted to
intersect the Sarahan Vein at Sarahan South, which combined with the coincident multi-element anomaly, makes this
an important conceptual target .

2.2 MALAWI
Oropa’s wholly owned subsidiary, Oropa Exploration Pty Ltd (“OEPL”) currently holds 100% interests in three
Exclusive Prospecting Licences (“EPLs”) for uranium exploration over the Mzimba Northwest, Chitunde and Chizani
Project areas covering a total of some 3,500km2. The Chizani project area is located immediately to the north of Globe
Metals & Mining’s (“Globe’s”) niobium-uranium-tantalum-zircon multi-commodity Kanyika deposit in central
Malawi.
Additionally, OEPL has entered into separate Memorandum of Understandings (“MOUs”) with two local EPL holders
to joint venture 90% interests in exploration and mining for uranium and other minerals (excluding coal) in these two
contiguous EPLs to the north of Paladin Energy Ltd’s (“Paladin’s”) Kayelekera uranium deposit (“Kayelekera”). The
Ngana and Ngana East EPLs are presently granted for coal exploration and development. The two prospects are in a
strategic location, containing basins of Karroo sediments and being the nearest mapped occurrence of Karroo within
the 20km to the north of Karroo hosting uranium mineralisation at Kayelekera. Negotiations are ongoing with the two
vendors to advance the MOUs to formal Shareholder Agreements.

Mzimba Northwest Project (100%)
Owing to the prevailing global financial uncertainty, Oropa focused on advancing Pungkut to Scoping Study stage
during the quarter, with exploration in Malawi re-commencing in late July with a follow up geochemical sampling
program being undertaken at Mzimba Northwest. This program concentrated on the Emoneni-Jandalala district in the
north-eastern sector of the EPL (Figure 9) where a north-south striking ridge coincident with airborne uranium
radiometric anomalies has been interpreted to be associated with the Mafingi quartzites. These quartzites, formed
from the erosion of the basement sediments during the Proterozoic era, filled valleys, basins and other topographic
low areas. Subsequently, the entire Proterozoic sequence has experienced deformation and high grade metamorphism.
The contact between the quartzites and gneiss is unconformable, and has been associated with uranium mineralisation.
Sixty eight stream sediment samples, 14 panned concentrate samples, and 26 rock chip samples were collected earlier
in the year in the Emoneni-Jandalala area to complete the initial exploration program for this target, details of which
were reported in the March Quarterly Report.
Figure 9: Emoneni Target Area
A second phase of the reconnaissance program was initiated at the Emoneni area in late July. This involved follow up
on the initial geochemical sampling, geological investigations and ground radiometric surveys. The new program
covered parts of the Emoneni hills where previous exploration had yielded geochemically anomalous U308 values at or
above 100 ppm from the initial stream sediment survey. The follow up initiative included the collection of stream
sediment samples upstream of the known anomalies in order to define their provenance and a pitting program
designed to investigate regolith in anomalous areas. Ancillary survey work included ground radiometric surveying
using a hand held gamma ray spectrometer.
__________________________________________________________________________________
11 www.oropa.com.au
The pitting program was carried out on the western flank of the Emoneni hills. A 6km baseline was established
along with two survey lines set on either side of the baseline. This configuration was used for reconnaissance
radiometric surveying at 500m intervals along the survey lines and pits were sunk up to 3m deep along the
baseline at 1000m intervals to investigate the soil profile and collect soil and rock chip samples at 1m depth
intervals from each pit. The regolith profile proved to be deep as none of the pits were successful in reaching
bedrock. The encouraging results from the radiometric surveying are currently being compiled.
A random radiometric survey carried out at the top of the Emoneni hills identified two uraniferous rock types
which are potentially the provenance of the radioactive sediments. The feldspathic-quartz-biotite gneiss is a very
coarse grained leucocratic rock. K-Feldspar constitutes 60% of the rock with grain sizes of up to 30mm. White
quartz is the second dominant mineral and is uniform throughout the package. The biotite is medium to coarse
grained. The quartz-biotite gneiss is characterised by distinct bands of coarse grained clear quartz up to 10mm in
diameter, separated by thin bands of biotite. It also contains minor muscovite and plagioclase feldspar. The total
radiometric readings in the vicinity of these rock types averaged 2,000cpm. Rock chip samples were collected
from these outcropping rocks.
A unique type of vegetation was also observed on the western side of the Emoneni hills towards the Kawiruwiru
River. This pocket of vegetation is characterised by very small leaves peculiar to areas underlain by Karroo
sandstones as observed in other parts of Africa and in the Karroo sandstones of the Ngana area in the north of
Malawi. Pits were dug in the area where this vegetation exists, but the bedrock could not be reached due to
hardness of the ground and the thickness of the overburden. However, the soils recovered from these pits were
rich in quartz grits and pebbles suggesting quartz rich bedrock.
Seventy six samples, including 4 soil samples, 15 rock chip samples and 57 stream sediment samples were
collected during this program and will be dispatched for multi-element analysis in early November. The results of
these analyses will be interpreted in Perth before another field program is finalised. However, a broader ground
radiometric survey, gridding and soil sampling on the western side of the Emoneni hills is warranted to determine
the western extent of the anomaly and the trend of the potential mineralisation, along with a ground radiometric
survey and geological validation of geochemically anomalous eastern and southern portions of the Emoneni hills
area.
Chizani Project (100%)
The 1,283km2 Chizani Project area (EPL0223/2007) is situated in central Malawi adjacent to Globe’s niobiumuranium-
tantalum-zircon multi-commodity Kanyika deposit hosted by alkalic granitoid and pegmatitic zones, and
also lies adjacent to tenements held by CC Mining SA. The EPL is considered to offer uranium exploration
potential for hydrothermal uranium targets and is currently being assessed as part of a remote sensing study
designed to provide for the selection and ranking of target areas for future ground exploration for uranium and
other minerals.
The proximity of the Chizani Project area to Kanyika provides Oropa with a nearby niobium-uranium-tantalum
and zircon deposit model to apply to exploration search parameters within the Chizani area. Recently, Globe
announced an Inferred Mineral Resource of 56.4 Mt of 2,600 ppm Nb205, 70 ppm U308, 120 ppm Ta205 and 4,800
ppm ZrSiO4 at the Kanyika deposit. Globe successfully completed a Scoping Study and is presently conducting a
Pre-Feasibility Study on the deposit. The currently defined resource is contained within a deposit measuring
2.1km in length and 300m in width and extends down to an average depth below surface of 120m.
During the quarter Mackay & Schnellmann Pty Ltd completed a Landsat Mapping Interpretation of the Chizani
project area, with the intention being to map the geology of the area and provide uranium targets for further
exploration. Sixteen exploration targets have been identified from the survey, based on the Landsat mapping in
conjunction with the airborne radiometric data. High uranium counts occur in a number of areas which will
constitute the initial work programs to be undertaken at Chizani. The report recommends that although focus
should be on uranium exploration, the area is also considered to be favourable for other minerals such as base
metals and gold, while the tectonic setting of the area is also considered to be favourable for diamondiferous
kimberlite exploration. More interpretive work will be undertaken in advance of future exploration at Chizani.
