QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORTFOR THE PERIOD ENDED 30 JUNE 2014
INTRODUCTION
Northern Mining Limited (the "Company") operates as a mineral explorer in Western Australia. Our East Kalgoorlie Project, located approximately 23 kilometres east and northeast of Kalgoorlie Boulder (Figure 1), Western Australia consists of the following prospects:
Blair North Prospect - Northern Zone and George's Reward
Blair Prospect
Snake Hill Prospect
Kanowna Lights Prospect
JUNE 2014 QUARTER EXPLORATION WORKS
RC drillings and assays have been completed for Blair North Northern Zone (E25/268) and Blair
(E26/112) (ASX announcement 7 May 2014).
The hole at E25/268 was planned to establish continuity of mineralisation and fill a significant gap north of previous holes BNR066 and BNRC085.
The hole was initially sampled by spear sampling of the bulk RC chips (from PVC bags) taking composites over nominal 4 metre intervals. This sampling reported two significant thick intervals of mineralisation (28m @ 0.84 g/t from 92m and 48m @ 1.65 g/t from 144m) with higher grade intervals included within.
The drill hole extended the mineralised envelope 50m+ north of holes BNRC066 and BNRC085. Further systematic exploration and targeted drilling campaigns have the potential to further expand the area of gold mineralisation outside of the known mineralised area.
The drill hole at E26/112 was drilled to test for nickel sulphides in bedrock. The hole reached bedrock at approximately 74 metres after getting through running sands that contained elevated gold up to 550 ppb. No significant mineralisation was encountered. The bedrock was a mafic lithology, most likely basalt with some elevated nickel values suggesting the presence of ultramafics in the volcanic package.

The Company has received approval from the Department of Mines and Petroleum for exemption from expenditure condition in relation to Exploration Licences E26/112, E25/424 and E26/144 and Mining Lease M27/236. In addition, Exploration Licence E26/112 has been granted extension of term for a further period of one year expiring 8 March 2015.
The Company has relinquished its tenements in Poland (Szklary Nickel and Radzimowice Gold Project) due to limited prospectivity for base metals and is focusing on gold and nickel explorations at the East Kalgoorlie Project.
The Company is planning a program of RC/diamond drilling at Kanowna Lights Prospect in coming months, to be partly funded by the grant under the WA Government Exploration Incentive Co- funded Exploration Drilling Program. The Kanowna Lights Prospect is ideally located in a high gold endowment region just 3 km north of the world class 5 million ounce Kanowna Belle Gold Deposit. It is 2.5 km northwest of the 1 million ounce Red Hill Deposit and two historical production areas, the 250,000 ounce Kanowna Deep Leads and the 450,000 ounce White Feather reef system.
CORPORATE DEVELOPMENT
On 29 May 2014, the Company announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, NMI Limited has entered into a Non-binding Heads of Agreement ("HOA") under which it has reached an agreement in principle to investigate the acquisition of a 90% interest in the business of PT Bintang Cipta Persada ("BCP"), a company incorporated in Indonesia. BCP owns mining concessions in minerals such as gold, coal and nickel around Indonesia and also operate a Liquefied Petroleum Gas filling station in East Java. The Company will complete its due diligence investigations prior into entering a Conditional Sales and Purchase Agreement and obtaining the required governmental regulatory approval from the Indonesian government.
