HIGHLIGHTS

Steady progress is being made on GCR's six joint venture properties
and two royalty properties. Current-year expenditure commitments on
the joint venture properties exceed $1 million. Earn-in expenditures
total $13.8 million, plus, in the case of Sipa Resources, completion
of a bankable feasibility study at Broken Hill. Details are as
follows:

* Encouraging responses recorded in geophysical surveys of platinum-
anomalous zones at Broken Hill.

* Further RC drilling results indicate widespread low-grade gold at
Yellow Mountain.

* Results awaited from the 39-hole aircore drilling programme on the
Melrose magnetic anomaly at Yellow Mountain.

* MIM is conducting a MIMDAS geophysical survey over a porphyry-style
gold-copper zone at West Wyalong.

* Alkane is presently drilling up to 15 RC holes, tracing the Wyoming
gold zone to the south towards GCR's historic 100% owned McPhails
gold mine. GCR has a royalty (up to 5% NSR) over EL 5830.

* Follow-up drilling programme is being planned for the Bright Star
Gold property, on which GCR has a 2% gross royalty.

* IP survey has commenced at Cargo.

ACTIVITIES

YELLOW MOUNTAIN

Triako has completed 42 RC holes on the Yellow Mountain joint venture
area to test the gold soil anomalies at Clayton's Dam and Quarry
Hill. Wide intersections of low-grade gold have been identified. The
best intersections to date, including results recently received for
hole TYM035, are as follows:

* Claytons Dam: 32m at 1.0 g/t from surface, including 16m at 1.59
g/t from 4m in hole TYM035.

* Quarry Hill: 36m at 0.79 g/t gold from surface in hole TYM016.

* Claytons Dam: 36m at 0.52 g/t gold from surface in hole TYM002

Triako considers the old Yellow Mountain prospect itself to have a
similar geological environment to that at Mineral Hill which is
characterised by high grade gold shoots.

Compilation of previous exploration results is nearing completion.
Interpretation has commenced.

Thirty-nine wide-spaced aircore holes have been drilled by Triako on
the large aeromagnetic anomaly on the Gilmore Suture known as the
Melrose Magnetic Anomaly. The drilling is aimed at determining the
cause of the magnetic signature and whether it is related to a major
mineralised intrusion. Assay results are awaited.

CARGO

Yardarino has commenced an IP survey at Cargo over an identified
target adjoining the Dalcoath-Spur gold prospect, which contains an
inferred resource of 3.7 Mt at 1.24 g/t gold for 147,000 ounces of
gold. The IP survey should be completed by Christmas. Yardarino
intends to commence drill-testing of targets in January 2003.

BROKEN HILL

A ground electromagnetic and magnetic survey has been completed over
the main known platinum group element (PGE) prospects of Mulga
Springs (2m of 34 g/t PGEs in massive sulphides), Round Hill and
Moorkaie (35 g/t PGEs in gossan). A small geophysical response has
been identified at each locality, possibly reflecting massive or
semi-massive sulphides at depth in the primary zone. Sipa aims to
drill-test these targets in January 2003.

WEST WYALONG

MIM has commenced a MIMDAS IP survey over a gold-copper porphyry
system at West Wyalong. MIM will also survey the area covered by an
intense gravity anomaly with coincident magnetic and soil anomalies.
Any targets generated would be tested by drilling early in the new
year.

MCPHAILS

Alkane is presently drilling a 40-hole RC programme at its Wyoming
gold prospect. At least 15 holes will be drilled on EL 5830, where
GCR has a royalty of up to 5% NSR, to track the gold zone to the
south towards the old McPhails gold mine held 100% by GCR. Results
should be available in the near future.

BRIGHT STAR

Desertex is planning a follow-up drilling programme on its Bright
Star gold prospect near Laverton where GCR has a gross 2% gold
production royalty. The best hole in the previous drilling programme
intersected 12m at 47.66 g/t gold including 3m at 112.8 g/t gold.
