    AUSTRALIAN STOCK EXCHANGE AND MEDIA RELEASE
    SEPON PROJECT – 80% OXIANA, 20% RIO TINTO
    GOLD EXPLORATION — CONTINUED SUCCESS
    Drilling at several near mine prospects continues to highlight potential for an increase
    of the Sepon gold resource/reserve inventory ahead of a forthcoming expansion study.
    As part of Oxiana’s strategy to maximise the potential of the Sepon mineral field, a four rig
    drill program is in progress to extend existing deposits, upgrade resource confidence and
    delineate new near mine resources.
    This release covers the most recent drill results from the Luang, Vang Ngang and Phavat
    prospects (see attached plan). To date, about 60 per cent of the near-mine budgeted oxide
    program has been completed. Further drilling to complete the program and begin testing the
    sulphide resources will follow the current wet season. Meanwhile, resource estimation
    work has commenced ahead of a gold project resource update scheduled for late August
    2003.
    Infill and extension drilling will continue during the wet season at all current gold deposits
    and on the western high grade zone of the Khanong copper deposit.
    Luang Prospect
    The Luang prospect comprises a large gold-in-soil anomaly located 500 metres to the
    north-west of the Discovery gold deposit (currently being mined). Oxiana reported
    promising exploration drilling results from this prospect in late 2002 (ASX release 9th
    October 2002). Recent follow up drilling to delineate resources confirmed the continuity of
    high grade gold mineralisation in both the near surface oxide environment and down dip in
    the primary zone. Better results include:
