1. Munali Nickel Project, Zambia
Albidon Limited 100%
* The formal ground-breaking ceremony to launch the Munali Nickel Project
was held on 3 April 2007, at which His Excellency the President of Zambia,
Levy Patrick Mwanawasa SC, was Guest of Honour.
* Loan documentation has been signed with the European Investment Bank and
Barclays Capital for up to US$60 million in senior debt financing for
Munali.
* Financing agreements have been signed by Albidon and Jinchuan Group that
provide US$25 million in funding as part of the offtake arrangements for

subordinated debt facility and a US$5 million equity investment. Signing of
these documents completes the offtake contract and offtake financing
arrangements initially reported in December 2006.
* A Power Supply Agreement has been signed between Albidon and ZESCO Limited
("ZESCO") to cover the total power requirements of the Munali project for a
ten-year period. ZESCO Limited is the largest electricity supply company in
Zambia and has extensive experience of developing infrastructure and
supplying power to mining projects across the country. The installation of
the temporary power line is well advanced. Connection is expected to be
completed in the next quarter.
* An order has been placed with CITIC Heavy Machinery Company Ltd ("CITIC")
for the manufacture and supply of two 3.6m x 6.0m, 1,250kW ball mills. The
mills will be built to a CITIC standard design and will comply with
specifications developed on Albidon's behalf by Roche Mining. CITIC is
based in Louyang, China and is one of the largest manufacturers of grinding
mills in the world, with a strong track record of design and delivery of
high quality milling and ancillary equipment.
Project Implementation Activities On Site at Munali
During the quarter activities on site increased with upgrades to the existing
infrastructure required for the construction period. These included:
* Completion of the boxcut.
* Commencement of the portal.
* Construction of the mine offices.
* Construction of site access roads.
* Clearing of the concentrator site.
* Building of the Run of Mine (ROM) pad.
(see Picture 1: Completed Enterprise Box Cut at Munali in the hyperlink above)
Additional water bores and water monitoring bores have been completed and have
significantly boosted the water supply on site.
These bores have been pump tested, with data analysis yet to be completed,
however early indications suggest that these bores along with mine dewatering
will supply sufficient water for the operational phase of the project.
Resettlement Activities
During the quarter, relocation of the first seven households was completed,
representing the initial phase of an ongoing relocation program. The program is
designed to provide improved accommodation and services for households that are
directly affected by the operations at Munali.
(see Picture 2: One of the first of the relocated families in front of their
new home in the hyperlink above)
Construction of additional housing as part of the second phase of the relocation
program has started, with this work expected to continue through the course of
2007.
A key part of the program is to provide affected members of the community with
larger plots of better farmland at a safe distance from the area of operations.
(see Picture 3: The new farmland being planted late last year in the hyperlink
above)
Voyager Prospect and Munali Intrusion Drill Programme
No exploration drilling has been undertaken during the quarter, as a result of
the extended seasonal rains in the Munali area. Additional drilling has been
planned and will commence in the next quarter.
Munali District Exploration
Assay results from geochemical stream sediment sampling completed in previous
quarters identified two regional targets approximately 25km south-east of the
Munali deposit. Follow up reconnaissance geological mapping was undertaken over
these targets during the previous quarter. At the Chikani West prospect, 25km
south-east of the Munali deposit, fragments of gossan containing secondary
copper minerals were identified during the reconnaissance mapping. The fragments
are of float samples and contain up to 26% Cu.
The significance of these gossanous fragments will be evaluated with more
detailed geological mapping, geochemical soil sampling and a program of
ground-based geophysical surveying, which will commence in the next quarter.
Extended seasonal rains in the Munali district prevented the recommencement of
the major geochemical stream sediment sampling programme in the Munali region,
and the geochemical soil sampling and ground geophysical programs at Chikani
South. These will now commence in the next quarter.
2. Uranium Exploration Agreement, Zambia
Albidon Limited 100%, funded and operated by African Energy Resources under an
Exploration Agreement
Albidon's joint venture partner African Energy Resources completed an airborne
radiometric survey over uranium targets in the Chirundu JV project, Kariba
Valley JV project and Luano Valley in southern Zambia during the last quarter of
2006.
Results from this survey were assessed during the first quarter of 2007, with
several zones of uranium anomalism identified in each project area. The airborne
radiometric survey at the Chirundu JV Project covered an area of approximately
540 sq km's, initially flown at 500m line-spacing. Infill surveying was
completed over the Njame Prospect for orientation purposes, and first pass
uranium anomalies were also infilled for higher resolution delineation. Two
major clusters of uranium anomalism were identified in addition to that at
Njame, both occurring in areas not known to have undergone prior exploration for
uranium.
The Gwabe uranium anomaly is almost 6km long and contains a number of prominent
peaks, the largest of which is over 2,500m long and over 500m wide. The Chirundu
North cluster of anomalies occurs over an area of 7km by 5km and contains a
number of anomalies that are over 1,000m long.
Both clusters of anomalies are interpreted to occur over Karoo-aged sediments
and may be analogous to the Njame prospect. Confirmation of the geological
setting was established by African Energy in February 2007, and a major program
of reconnaissance aircore drill testing is planned for commencement in the next
quarter.
Three new areas of uranium anomalism were also identified on the Sinazongwe
tenement blocks within the Kariba Valley JV Project. These, along with a number
of previously identified uranium anomalies from historical ground radiometric
surveys will be field checked in the next quarter and prioritised for
reconnaissance aircore drill testing.
Two new uranium anomalies were also identified at the Myvuwe River prospect in
the Luano Valley from the airborne radiometric survey completed in late 2006.
These will be evaluated through geological mapping later in 2007 to determine if
drilling is warranted.
African Energy can earn a 30% interest in the Chirundu JV Project and the Kariba
Valley JV project by expending A$1 million on each area, and can increase this
to 70% through the completion of a pre-feasibility study on a JORC indicated
resource. The remainder of the tenements under the Exploration Agreement will
undergo additional exploration prior to a decision on whether to nominate
further project areas.
African Energy Resources completed a A$5 million IPO and listing on the
Australian Stock Exchange on 18 April 2007 and this will result in an
acceleration of the uranium exploration programs on Albidon's licences in
southern Zambia.
3. Luwumbu Platinum Joint Venture
Goldstream Mining NL 90%, Albidon Limited 10% with Lonmin currently earning 70%
During the quarter Lonmin elected to continue to sole fund exploration
activities on the Luwumbu Joint Venture for the Operating Year commencing 1
April 2007. A budget of US$4.2 million has been approved for 2007-2008 by the
Luwumbu Joint Venture Committee, with Lonmin to be the operators of the JV from
1 April 2007.
The Joint Venture has developed plans to conduct up to 15,000m of diamond core
drilling in the upcoming field season. These drilling programmes will evaluate
targets identified by shallow auger drilling completed in late 2006, and further
test targets that were first drilled last year.
Songea Nickel-Platinum Project, Tanzania
Albidon Limited 100%, currently funded and operated by BHP Billiton under the
Exploration Co-operation Agreement
Under the Exploration Cooperation Agreement, BHP Billiton has elected to form a
joint venture over five Prospecting Licences in the Songea nickel project in
southwest Tanzania. This decision reflects favourable rock, soil and stream
sediment geochemical results, in addition to a geological interpretation by the
Company's geologist's that the Songea area has geological similarities to the
setting of the Voisey's Bay nickel deposit in Canada.
BHP Billiton will fund and operate the ongoing exploration programme at Songea,
commencing with an extensive helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey over the
three main nickel-copper targets. This programme is expected to commence in the
second quarter of 2007 once the seasonal rains have abated. Logistical planning
and field support for this programme have commenced.
5. Nickel Projects in Botswana
Selebi-Phikwe Nickel-Copper Project
Albidon Limited 100%
The Company completed an evaluation of the results obtained by WMC and BHP
Billiton through 2005 and 2006 at Selebi-Phikwe and conducted an assessment of
the extensive tenement areas south of Selebi-Phikwe that have not yet received
any exploration coverage under the Cooperation Agreement, including the Lipadi
Hill and Sunnyside Ni-Cu prospect areas. The review also included an evaluation
of all Open File data relevant to base metal exploration completed in the 1970's
through to the 1990's.
The Lipadi Hill prospect in the eastern part of the tenement package was last
explored in the 1970's and yielded significant nickel intercepts in drilling and
trenching. These results include 2m @ 1.7% Ni, 0.35% Cu and 6.77m @ 0.48% Ni,
0.1% Cu in diamond drill core from the DG-19 prospect, and a zone of >250m
length and >3m width exceeding 0.27% Ni and 0.13% Cu in a trench at the DG-21
prospect. The Lipadi Hill area represents a high priority target for follow-up
evaluation, geophysical prospecting and, if warranted, further drill testing.
Field programmes will commence in the second quarter of 2007.
The Sunnyside Shear Zone is a major geological structure located in the southern
part of the Selebi-Phikwe tenement package. This zone extends for many tens of
kilometres and contains a number of known nickel sulphide occurrences such as
Sunnyside and Kgwedi. Evaluation of historical exploration reports indicates
that extensive lengths of the Sunnyside Shear Zone have not been previously
explored with techniques likely to have identified nickel sulphide occurrences.
At Sunnyside, a 1700m x 200m gabbro complex was identified through airborne
electromagnetic surveying and follow-up geochemical soil sampling undertaken in
the 1970's. Limited follow-up drilling intersected massive to disseminated
nickel sulphide mineralisation, with best results including 0.7m @ 1.3% Ni,
0.87% Cu, 0.2m @ 2.0% Ni, 0.15% Cu, and 1m @ 0.6% Ni, 0.2% Cu. However, the
drilling was limited and has not adequately tested the depth and strike
continuity of the mineralisation.
At Kgwedi, limited drilling undertaken in the 1970's intersected disseminated
and stringer sulphides in an ultramafic body associated with weak soil
geochemical anomalies and ground geophysical anomalism. Three diamond drill
holes were completed by BCL, with the best result being 1m @ 0.8% Ni.
Albidon intends to further evaluate the extensive Sunnyside Shear Zone prospects
in 2007 with a combination of airborne electromagnetic surveying, soil sampling
and ground geophysical surveying aimed at identifying drill targets. These
programmes will commence in the next quarter.
Tati Nickel Project
Joint Venture with Iamgold (formerly Gallery Gold Limited)
During the quarter, the Company reviewed its exploration strategy for all six
Tati Projects and determined that results to date on all prospects within the
Tati project do not warrant any further work on these projects. Albidon has
therefore elected to withdraw from all six Tati JV projects.
Otse Nickel Project
Albidon Limited 100%
Three new Prospecting Licences were granted in south-eastern Botswana to cover
geological units which are believed to represent the basal intrusive components
of the Bushveld Intrusion, and which may be analogous to the rocks which host
the Nkomati nickel deposit in South Africa. A review of all previous exploration
undertaken on this area has been completed, and several areas for preliminary
field evaluation have been identified. This work will commence in the next
quarter.
6. Malawi Nickel-Platinum Projects
Mpemba Project
Albidon Limited 100%
The Mpemba Project is located in southern Malawi near the major city of
Blantyre. During the quarter the Company assessed the final data from an induced
polarisation geophysical survey conducted over the main nickel sulphide target
at Mpemba Hill. Interpretation of the geophysical data has identified targets
broadly coincident with Ni and Cu soil geochemical anomalies associated with the
outcropping disseminated sulphide mineralisation at Mpemba.
The Company is currently evaluating the strategic fit of this project within its
portfolio of high quality base metals projects to determine its future.
7. Tunisian Projects
Exploration in Tunisia continued during the quarter under the option and earn-in
agreement with Zinifex which was signed in the last quarter of 2006. Work was
focused on the Fernana-Nefza permit.
Fernana-Nefza Zinc-Lead and Copper-Gold Project
Albidon Limited 100%, funded and operated by Zinifex Limited under an option and
earn-in agreement
The Fernana-Nefza exploration permit covers an area of 4,160 sq km in northwest
Tunisia that contains numerous zinc-lead and copper-gold prospects. The
principal zinc-lead target is for stratabound-replacement deposits similar to
the giant Jinding deposit in Yunnan, China. A number of old mines and prospects
in the permit show potential for this type of deposit, and none of the
mineralised trends have previously been subjected to modern exploration
techniques.
During the quarter, soil geochemical data from 2006 surveys over major
structures have been assessed, leading to the definition of significant zinc and
lead anomalies extending away from known mineralisation in the four sampled
areas. Most notably, a 3.5 km long zinc anomaly (values from 600-2000 ppm Zn)
up to 900 m wide has been defined over prospective sediments at El Garia, 4.5 km
northeast of the Bou Aouane mine.
Follow up sampling using a hand-held Niton XRF instrument has commenced in the
most anomalous areas. After initial assessment of the effectiveness of the
Niton compared to conventional analysis, surveying will be extended to infill
all reconnaissance anomalies and to cover areas of regional stream-sediment
anomalies that have not yet been followed up.
During the quarter, geophysical surveying that commenced in the last quarter of
2006 was ongoing. Detailed gravity surveying was completed at the El Haouaria
and Bou Aouane prospects in January - February. Data was merged with the
regional Tunisian gravity dataset and provided improved resolution of the
structural trends that are interpreted to control mineralisation. Gravity
surveying will recommence early in the second quarter.
IP geophysical surveying recommenced in March at the Bou Aouane prospect with
the aim of directly detecting zinc-lead mineralisation. Known in situ
mineralisation at Bou Aouane was successfully detected in an orientation survey
suing this technique, and new anomalies have been detected along strike and on
major structures to the north and south. IP surveying is continuing and will be
completed at Bou Aouane and El Garia prior to moving to the other high priority
target zones.
Integrated evaluation of data including geology, geophysics, geochemistry, and
previous drilling and mine development will be used to define and prioritise
drill targets in the next quarter. Drilling is planned to commence in the third
quarter.
Haffouz Zinc Project
Albidon Limited 100%, subject to a royalty (funded and operated by Zinifex under
an option and earn-in agreement)
Following discussions with the Tunisian mines department (Direction General des
Mines), BHP Billiton elected to relinquish the Trozza Permit. This process was
completed during the quarter. On completion of relinquishment, Zinifex Ltd
lodged an application for the Haffouz Permit on behalf of the joint venture with
Albidon, covering an area of 428 sq km's including the Jebel Trozza and Jebel
Touila zinc prospects.
No work has been completed on the project in the first quarter. Geophysical IP
surveys are planned to commence at Jebel Touila and Jebel Trozza in the second
quarter.
