Intersection of Massive Copper Sulphide at Nakru 1, Potential for Significant Copper - Gold Mineralisation at Nakru 2 - |
Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director, commented “the intersection of copper sulphide mineralisation at Nakru-1 at 97m depth is very encouraging, as it provides us with potential for significant grades of copper beneath a blanket of gold mineralisation. The ground geophysics will help us target further holes to determine tonnage potential of copper. We are also now quite excited about the potential of significant mineralisation at the Nakru-2 polymetallic system and will begin drilling this month to test for depth extensions of mineralisation in a potentially large 700m diameter area of mineralisation”.
NAKRU 1
From both historical (pre-2008) and current exploration, eighteen drill holes totalling over 1,900m have been completed (refer to Figure 1) including over 400m drilled in six holes this year (refer to Table 1).
Deeper diamond drill holes, planned to continue to at least 300m depth, are testing for extensions of copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation in a blind porphyry system beneath a thick layer of gold mineralisation hosted in stockwork breccia with disseminated sulphides, which has been intersected in the upper 50m of some of the drillholes.
The first deep diamond drillhole at the Nakru-1 prospect (NAK017A) intersected massive copper sulphides below about 90m depth (refer to Photo 1).

The three dimensional ground geophysical I.P. survey over Nakru-1 has been completed and will help define extensions of copper mineralisation and further drill targets. Surface trenching has been completed in order to define structurally controlled gold targets at surface (refer to Figure 1). Assay results of the trenching and drilling are expected this month.

FIGURE 1
NAKRU 2
At Nakru-2 prospect, historical (pre-2008) trenching exposed significant copper and gold mineralised intervals including 25m at 1.44% copper and 10m at 1.16g/t gold and 155 ppm molybdenum. Rock chip sample grade results included 19.9% copper. Upon completion of drilling at the Nakru-1 prospect this week, two drillholes, A and B (refer to Figure 2) are planned to test these trench intersections. The intersections occur within a 700m diameter circular structural feature, interpreted to be related to an intrusive breccia system (refer to Figure 2). Historical airborne Dighem geophysical data and preliminary results from the yet to be modelled three dimensional I.P. survey (refer to Figure 3 and 4) indicate a 400m by 250m wide zone of high chargeability (>20 m.s) and conductivity in this same area, interpreted to represent copper sulphide related mineralisation.
Recent rock samples taken from Nakru-2 (refer to Photos 1 and 2) were interpreted by petrology examination as occurring from a hydrothermal breccia containing various proportions of quartz, sericite and copper sulphide. Rock sample NAK-01 (refer to Photo 2) contains up to 10% copper sulphide (chalcopyrite, covellite and chalcocite), indicating potentially significant copper mineralisation at depth.

| Nakru Drilling in Progress - 27 August, 2008 |
Diamond core drilling is underway at the Nakru 1 prospect after the Company successfully secured a drill rig for the Nakru project drilling programme.
The objective of the Nakru 1 drilling programme is to test for breccia-hosed polymetallic copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation and blind porphyry copper-gold+/-molybdenum mineralisation associated with an inferred sub-surface intrusion in the area.
Two of the four planned 50m deep holes have already been drilled and the third is currently being drilled to confirm the presence of a vent and test the extents of gold mineralisation. Stockwork breccia has been noted in the first two drill holes, similar to that which contained anomalous gold results in the surface trenching. At least two deeper (300m) holes will test for gold bearing fissures at depth (Figure 1: Sites 5 and 6). A minimum of two by 300m deep holes will test the large tonnage porphyry model at Site 7 and 8. The Company anticipates the drilling results will begin to be made available from mid September.
Trenching is continuing at Nakru 1 in order to define the limits of mineralisation of gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium at surface (Figure 1). Already over 1,700m has been trenched with 60 samples collected to date.
Geophysical Induced Polarisation lines have been cut at Nakru 1 and Nakru 2 (Figure 2) in readiness for the survey to begin this week. The survey will help define sulphide hosted drill targets at Nakru 2 and sulphide and/or silica hosted targets at Nakru 1. The survey may also help orientate the planned deeper drill holes at Sites 7 and 8 at Nakru 1.
At Nakru 2, historical trenching had previously exposed significant polymetallic copper+gold+zinc+/-(molybdenum) targets within a 700m diameter circular feature which is now interpreted to be related to breccia pipe style mineralisation. Highlights of the historical trench sampling included 25m at 1.43% copper (Photo 1), 4m at 6.6% copper and 25m at 1.06 g/t gold. Soil sampling had previously outlined a copper-gold soil anomaly with rough dimensions of 400m by 200m. Historical grab sampling of mineralised outcrop gave assay values of 19.9% copper, 22% zinc and 260 ppm molybdenum.

| Significant Copper Intersections Expand Known Copper Mineralisation at Simuku - 25 August, 2008 |
The ongoing drilling programme at the Nayam and Tobarum prospects in Simuku is providing significant copper intersections which expands on known areas of mineralisation.
Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director, commented “results in Hole SMD21 at Tobarum ended in 0.51% copper equivalent, indicating continued copper potential at depth. This expands on our area of significant mineralisation as SMD21 is over 800m south of the Nayam prospect which intersected 32m at 0.87% copper equivalent. With two drilling rigs currently on-site, we have drilled 2,646.6 metres in 11 drill holes and plan to continue drilling copper and molybdenum target areas for about two more months. Trenching and mapping will continue in order to define copper and molybdenum mineralisation extents at surface and help target drill holes”.
TOBARUM PROSPECT (Figures 1 and 2):
SMD21
This hole was drilled to test 39m at 0.49% copper in Trench 5, angled to intersect a north-northwest structural trend. Copper mineralisation in this hole (see Table 1 and 4 below) occurs within quartz feldspar porphyry. Relatively barren late intrusive occurs between 277m to 308m. Core recoveries were generally good at greater than 96%.

NAYAM PROSPECT (Figures 1 and 2):
SMD18
This hole targeted copper mineralisation beneath a leached cap with haematite in Trench 11 and angled across a structural trend. In SMD18, mineralisation (see Table 2 and 4 below) occurs within quartz porphyry and a pyritic zone at 144m depth. Quartz feldspar porphyry is reported at 241.4m depth below an intrusive unit. Drilling and trenching at Nayam continue to help determine the extent of mineralisation. Core recoveries in this hole were generally greater than 90%.

HIGHLIGHTS
1.0 SUMMARY
Coppermoly’s projects are located in a highly mineralised region and the islands of New Guinea themselves have a relative abundance of large copper-gold-molybdenum deposits including OK Tedi, Frieda River, Porgera, Yandera, Lihir and Panguna (Figure 1).
Coppermoly Limited holds title to three exploration licences EL 1077 (Simuku), EL 1043 (Mt.Nakru) and EL 1445 (Talelumas) located on the Island of New Britain, PNG. The Talelumas tenement was granted for a period of two years on 29th May, 2008 and ensures coverage of most of the known mineralisation in the immediate areas surrounding the Simuku tenement (Figure 3).
These advanced exploration tenements enclose three separate, large, porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum systems, namely Simuku, Nakru 1 and Nakru 2. The projects are close to required infrastructure for development (Figure 2) and the recent track access upgrade has allowed easy access to roads, an airfield and a deep water port. Drilling programmes are well underway in order to define a substantial resource on at least one of these advanced projects within the next 12 to 18 months.
Historical exploration completed on the projects includes some 54 drill holes, over 40 kms of bulldozer/excavator trenching, geophysical surveys and extensive soil and other geochemical surveys.
Topography at the projects is moderate at between 300m and 800m above sea level, enabling relatively easier conditions for on-site development and logistics. Good landowner relations exists and local labour is sought from landowners.
The exploration areas are close to infrastructure and services on the Island of New Britain. The Provincial capital of Kimbe, where the company’s exploration base is located, has a population of approximately 16,000.

2.0 EXPLORATION AT SIMUKU (EL 1077)
Within EL 1077 and EL 1045 (Figure 3), copper mineralisation occurs at the Simuku and Kulu prospects with gold mineralisation at the Kulu and Talelumas prospects.
At the Simuku prospect, porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold mineralisation is known over an area of about 4.5km by 2.2km (Figure 3). More than 23 km of bulldozer trenching and 23 drill holes have defined a large 3,500m by 650m anomalous copper envelope with inner anomalous molybdenum envelope (Figure 4).
Several copper-molybdenum drill targets have been defined at the Simuku prospect. Trenching is being undertaken at Magipmo and Nayam copper targets as well as at the Horseshoe Molybdenum zone (Figure 5).

A total length of 2200m of trenching/access has been completed to the Magipmo site and 400m of trenching has been completed at Nayam (Figure 5). The Magipmo target area may represent a higher level in the porphyry system and is perhaps down faulted relative to Tobarum/Nayam.
The initial drilling and trenching program during 2008 at Simuku have given the best results to date, including all historical work. SMD19, using a 0.2% copper equivalent* cut-off, intersected 93m from 8m depth of 0.59% copper, 68ppm molybdenum, 0.07g/t gold and 2.5g/t silver (0.69% copper equivalent*).
Hole SMH12, at one end of the Nayam trench (Figure 6) encountered significant mineralisation with intersections such as 91.3m from 0 to 91.3m at 0.43% copper, 81ppm molybdenum, 0.06g/t gold (0.52% copper equivalent*).
Nayam Prospect:
Drill hole SMD19 (Figure 6) targeted copper mineralisation within intrusive in historical drill holes:
In SMD19, molybdenite can be seen in the core samples and mostly confined to structures. Pyrite and chalcopyrite occur disseminated in quartz feldspar porphyry mapped at surface and throughout the drill hole in a pyritic zone beneath weathered leached material in Nayam trench (see Tables 2 and 3 below), which has copper mineralisation open at both ends (Figure 6). Hole SMD19 had core recoveries greater than 93%.

SMD17 (Figure 6) was drilled to test below significant copper results intersected in Trench 4 which had results of 63m at 0.47% copper, including 18m at 0.74% copper in exposed quartz porphyry.
Copper mineralisation in drill hole SMD17 (see Table 4 below) occurs as disseminated chalcopyrite within a matrix of quartz feldspar porphyry. Core recoveries were generally good at greater than 93%.

The first 50m of SMD17 included episodic structural events with mineral association as indicated by the crosscutting structures. Oxidation from the surface extends to 10m (0-10m) with weakly leached argillic clay + haematite- quartz+/-pyrite. The next 20m (11-30m) appear to be of quartz – magnetite-pyrite+/-haematite fractures and bluish green fractures. Beyond 30m is primary sulphide especially pyrite–chalcopyrite+/-galena/sphalerite-/+pinkish veins.
SMD20 was drilled to test the extensions of copper mineralisation within interpreted intrusive rock in the lower part of historical drill hole SMD03 (Figure 6), which intersected 50.2m at 0.5% copper, 40 ppm molybdenum, 0.06 g/t gold and 2.5 g/t silver (0.57% copper equivalent*) from 100m to 150.2m.
Copper mineralisation in drill hole SMD20 (see Table 5 below) occurs disseminated within a matrix of quartz feldspar porphyry. Core recoveries were generally good at greater than 96%.

Notes:
Drilling samples were transported to the camp site, logged, photographed and sampled at 1 metre intervals from core split by saw. The split samples are then transported to the town of Kimbe where they are air freighted to Intertek in Lae (PNG) for sample preparation. Samples are dried to 106 degrees C and crushed to 2-3 mm. Samples greater than 2kg are rifle split down to 1.5kg and pulverised to 75 microns. The final 300g sized pulp samples are then sent to Intertek laboratories in Jakarta for geochemical analysis. Intertek analyse for gold using a 50g Fire Assay with Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy finish. Other elements are assayed with ICPAES Finish. Copper values greater than 1000ppm are re-assayed using a multi acid digest (hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acid) to leach out the copper with an ICP finish. Molybdenum samples greater than 100ppm were check assayed using X-Ray diffraction. Intertek laboratories have an ISO 17025 accreditation.

3.0 EXPLORATION AT MT.NAKRU (EL 1043)
The Mt Nakru tenement EL 1043 encloses a large porphyry copper-gold (molybdenum) system located at Nakru-1 and potential for breccia-hosted gold and porphyry-style copper-gold deposits at Nakru-2 (Figure 7).
The Mt Nakru system comprises of four defined prospects, Nakru 1 to Nakru 4. These systems are located within the mineralised Kulu-Awit Corridor, which trends west-northwest through Central New Britain and contains other systems including Kulu (copper-gold), and Simuku (copper-gold).
Track access continues to be upgraded to 4WD status at Nakru 1 and new trenches are being mapped and sampled for gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium in order to define the limits of mineralisation.
Nakru 1 Prospect:
Nakru 1 is the most advanced of the four prospects and has potential to host a large copper-gold deposit. Deep auger soil sampling, more than 10km of hand and bulldozer trenching and twelve drill holes (totalling 1,499m) have been completed. Highlights of the historical trenching and drilling programmes at Nakru 1 (Figure 8) include:
Trench intercepts of:
95m @ 2.88g/t Au
42m @ 2.7g/t Au
51m @ 2.2g/t Au
25m @ 1.43% Cu
4m @ 6.6% Cu
Drill Intercepts of:
94m @ 0.43% Cu, 0.46g/t Au
205m @ 0.40% Cu, including 74m @ 0.78% Cu
54m @ 0.18g/t Au
Two styles of mineralisation have been recognised:
(a) breccia-hosed polymetallic copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation in the area tested by historical trenching and drilling; and
(b) blind porphyry copper-gold+/-molybdenum mineralisation associated with an inferred sub-surface intrusion in the area extending east and southeast from the trenched area.
Auger soil sampling has outlined an irregular combined gold-copper-molybdenum-arsenic soil anomaly with approximate dimensions of 800m x 200-300m trending north-northwest (Figure 8).
The work programme at Nakru 1 Prospect involves the upgrading track access, and clearing, mapping, and sampling of old trenches to confirm the location of historical gold intersections. New trenches will be mapped and sampled for gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium in order to define the limits of mineralisation.
A minimum of 4 x 50m [Figure 8: Sites 1 – 4] deep holes will be drilled to confirm the presence of a vent and test the extents of gold mineralisation. At least two deeper holes will test for gold bearing fissures at depth (Figure 8: Sites 5 and 6). A minimum of 2 x 300m holes will test the large tonnage porphyry model at Site 7 and 8. Drilling pads have been constructed and a diamond drilling rig is currently on-site.
Geophysical I.P. surveying will begin in August to help define drilling targets. A total of 7,500m of lines have been cut in readiness for the survey.
Nakru 2 Prospect:
At Nakru 2 Prospect (Figure 7), bulldozer trenching has exposed significant copper mineralised intervals and local very high copper grades, including 25m at 1.43% Cu; 25m at 1.06g/t Au; 4m at 6.6% Cu; and up to 19.9% Cu in grab samples. No drill testing has been undertaken at Nakru 2 Prospect.
Nakru 2 appears to be polymetallic copper+gold+zinc+/-(molybdenum) target with copper being the predominant metal. The mineralised area is coincident with a circular structural feature, about 700m in diameter, visible on air photos.
The planned work programme will involve re-opening, sampling and mapping of all previous trenches, re-interpreting creek geology and re-sampling creek exposures to develop a geological interpretation in light of a potential breccia pipe model. Geophysical I.P. surveys over the circular feature is planned to help develop drilling targets.
Nakru 3 Prospect:
Nakru 3 Prospect is located approximately 1.7km north of Nakru 1. Reconnaissance rock chip sampling has located values of 5.2g/t Au in a silicified shear zone carrying pyrite and magnetite; up to 2.7% Cu in outcropping altered breccia; and 4.9% Zn, 498g/t Ag in creek float.
Nakru 4 Prospect:
At Nakru 4 Prospect, which is located about 1.2km Northwest of Nakru 1, deep Wacker drilling beneath the young ash cover, which is up to 15.2m thick, defined a semi-coherent anomaly which has dimensions of about 600m x 200-400m. Highlights from the Wacker soil sampling are shown in Table 6.

| Best Trench and Drill Results at Simuku to Date - 25 July, 2008 |
DRILLING AND TRENCHING RESULTS AT SIMUKU GIVE BEST RESULTS TO DATE
The initial drilling and trenching program at Simuku have given the best results to date, including all historical work.
Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director, commented “these results are encouraging, particularly so early in the resource definitive program. Hole SMH12, at one end of the Nayam trench, which was previously drilled by Macmin (PNG) Ltd (now New Guinea Gold Ltd) also encountered significant mineralisation with intersections such as 91.3m from 0 to 91.3m at 0.43% copper, 81ppm molybdenum, 0.06g/t gold (0.52% copper equivalent*). In addition, hole SMD19 was drilled to a depth of 346.1m and assays are still pending for the hole below 122m”.
Copper Equivalent*
The mineralisation at Simuku consists of copper, molybdenum, gold and silver. Copper is predominant in the holes reported in this release but in one previous hole, molybdenum predominated – SMD14 intersected 19m at 0.32% molybdenum and 0.1% copper. In a possible mining operation it is likely that copper, molybdenum, gold and silver will all be recovered and management consider that using a copper equivalent* cut-off of 0.2% provides the best way to present and to compare drill hole data. The copper equivalent* is calculated as follows:

The copper equivalent* values for intersections, in addition to individual metal values, are quoted, as they provide the most meaningful comparisons between different drill holes and trenches. Management cautions, however, that as metal prices change the copper equivalent* value will change.
No metallurgical test work has been completed on mineralisation from Simuku but the mineralisation from Simuku is similar to Island Arc porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum systems in the Southwest Pacific and recoveries similar to those at existing mines could be expected.
NAYAM PROSPECT DRILLING AND TRENCHING RESULTS:
SMD19 [Site B] (Figures 1 and 2): 169734e 9368202n, Dip -600 at 300 TN, Depth = 346.1m
This hole targeted copper mineralisation within intrusive in drill holes:
In SMD19, molybdenite can be seen in the core samples and mostly confined to structures. Pyrite and chalcopyrite occur disseminated in quartz feldspar porphyry mapped at surface and throughout the drill hole in a pyritic zone beneath weathered leached material in Nayam trench (see Tables 1 and 2 below).
The drilling and trenching results are encouraging with significant mineralisation in Nayam trench which is open at both ends (Figure 2). Core recoveries were greater than 93%.

| Mt Nakru Update - 21 July, 2008 |
SUMMARY
NAKRU PROJECT
Track access continues to be upgraded to 4WD status at Nakru 1 and new trenches will be mapped and sampled for gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium in order to define the limits of mineralisation (Figure 3).
Highlights of the historical trenching and drilling programmes at Nakru 1 include:
Trench intercepts (sample intervals) of:
95m @ 2.88g/t gold
25m @ 1.43% copper
Drill Intercepts of:
94m @ 0.43% copper, 0.46g/t gold
205m @ 0.40% copper, including 74m @ 0.78% copper
A minimum of 4 x 50m holes will be drilled to confirm the presence of a vent and test the extents of gold mineralisation. At least two deeper holes will test for gold bearing fissures at depth (Figure 3: Sites 5 and 6). A minimum of 2 x 300m holes will test the large tonnage porphyry model at Site 7 and 8. Drilling pads are currently being constructed and a diamond drilling rig is being mobilised to site.
Geophysical I.P. surveying will begin in August to help define drilling targets. A total of 7,500m of lines have been cut in readiness for the survey.
At the Nakru 2 Prospect (Figure 2), the planned work programme will involve re-opening, sampling and mapping of all previous trenches, re-interpreting creek geology and re-sampling creek exposures to develop a geological interpretation in light of a potential breccia pipe model. Geophysical I.P. surveys over the circular feature is planned to help develop drilling targets.
The Mt Nakru project is well located near the town of Kimbe and close to essential infrastructure including roads, an airfield and a deep water port (Figure 1). The Mt Nakru system includes four defined prospects, Nakru 1 to Nakru 4.

| Mt Nakru Project - Exploration Commenced - 28 May, 2008 |
HIGHLIGHTS
Coppermoly Limited is pleased to report that access into the Mt Nakru project has begun with the last 5km of the 55km access road into the campsite being re-opened.
Following a detailed review of the area (Figure 1), work programmes for Nakru 1 and Nakru 2 Prospects have been finalised and are scheduled to commence early next month.
The Nakru 1 work programme will involve upgrading track access, and reopen, map, and sample selected intervals of old trenches to confirm the location of historical gold intersections. New trenches will be mapped and sampled for gold, copper, molybdenum and tellurium in order to define the limits of mineralisation.
A minimum of 4 x 50m deep holes (Figure 2: Sites 1 – 4) will be drilled to confirm the presence of a vent and test the extents of gold mineralisation. At least two deeper holes will test gold fissure targets at depth (Figure 2: Sites 5 and 6). A minimum of 2 x 300m holes will test the porphyry target at Sites 7 and 8.
Geophysical I.P. surveying is also being planned over some of these areas to help define drilling targets.
The Nakru 2 work programme will involve re-opening, sampling and mapping of all previous trenches, re-interpreting creek geology and re-sampling creek exposures to develop a geological interpretation in light of a potential breccia pipe model. Geophysical I.P. surveys over the circular feature are planned to help develop drilling targets.
“The Mt Nakru copper-gold system in Central New Britain is a large acid-intermediate, volcanic-intrusive complex that has potential for breccia-hosted gold deposits and porphyry-style copper-gold deposits. Four separate prospects have been identified with significant copper and gold values found in outcrop, trench or drill samples at each prospect, along with significant silver, molybdenum and zinc grades.” said Peter Swiridiuk, Managing Director of Coppermoly Limited.
Mr. Swiridiuk added “The MountNakru project is well supported by its landowners, who will also be contracted by Coppermoly Limited to work on the Mt Nakru project.”
Mt Nakru Project Overview
The Mt Nakru project is well located, near the town of Kimbe and close to essential infrastructure including roads, an airfield and a deep water port.
The project is comprised of two systems namely, Mt Nakru and Plesyumi. The Mt Nakru system includes four defined prospects, Nakru 1 to Nakru 4.
These systems are located within the well-mineralised Kulu-Awit Corridor, which trends west-northwest through Central New Britain and contains other systems including Kulu (copper-gold), and Simuku (copper-gold).
Nakru 1 Prospect:
Nakru 1 is the most advanced of the four prospects and has potential to host a large copper-gold deposit. Deep auger soil sampling, more than 10km of hand and bulldozer trenching and twelve drill holes (totalling 1,499m) have been completed. Highlights of the historical trenching and drilling programmes at Nakru 1 (Figures 1 and 2) include:
Trench intercepts (sample intervals) of:
95m @ 2.88g/t gold
42m @ 2.7g/t gold
51m @ 2.2g/t gold
25m @ 1.43% copper
4m @ 6.6% copper
Drill Intercepts of:
94m @ 0.43% copper, 0.46g/t gold
205m @ 0.40% copper, including 74m @ 0.78% copper
54m @ 0.18g/t gold
Two styles of mineralisation have been recognised:
(a) breccia-hosed polymetallic copper-gold-molybdenum mineralisation in the area tested by historical trenching and drilling; and
(b) blind porphyry copper-gold+/-molybdenum mineralisation associated with an inferred sub-surface intrusion in the area extending east and southeast from the trenched area.
Trench intersections (Figure 2) indicate grades in the breccia-hosted mineralisation of approximately 0.1 - 3.0g/t gold. However, values in individual breccia clasts of up to 37.0g/t gold have been reported, indicating potential for high grade gold mineralisation at depth within the feeder vent(s). The average grades of mineralised intervals in the underlying volcanic complex are in the range 0.3 - 0.7% copper with up to 0.5g/t gold over significant widths.
Auger soil sampling has outlined an irregular combined gold-copper-molybdenum-arsenic soil anomaly with approximate dimensions of 800m x 200-300m trending north-northwest (Figure 2).
Nine holes totalling 1290m have been drilled by previous explorers at Nakru 1, four of which, NAK 001, 002 and 003 and Q74D6, intersected significant mineralisation (Table 1).

Nakru 2 Prospect:
At Nakru 2 Prospect (Figure 1), soil sampling, hand trenching and bulldozer trenching has been completed. Nakru 2 appears to be polymetallic copper+gold+zinc+/-(molybdenum) target with copper being the predominant metal. The mineralised area is coincident with a circular structural feature, about 700m in diameter, visible on air photos.
Nakru 3 Prospect:
Nakru 3 Prospect is located approximately 1.7km north of Nakru 1. Reconnaissance rock chip sampling has located values of 5.2g/t gold in a silicified shear zone carrying pyrite and magnetite; up to 2.7% copper in outcropping altered breccia; and 4.9% zinc, 498g/t silver in creek float.
Nakru 4 Prospect:
At Nakru 4 Prospect, which is located about 1.2km northwest of Nakru 1, deep Wacker drilling beneath the young ash cover, which is up to 15.2m thick, defined a semi-coherent anomaly which has dimensions of about 600m x 200-400m. Highlights from the Wacker soil sampling are shown in Table 2.

Plesyumi Copper-Gold System
The Plesyumi porphyry copper-gold system is located within the Mt Nakru tenement 14km west-northwest of Mt Nakru. Plesyumi was discovered in 1968 and extensively explored, including 21 drill holes, in the early 1970’s. Drilling has identified the local development of a leached cap, and the presence of chalcocite, covellite, cuprite and native copper indicates minor supergene alteration.
At least four centres of mineralisation have been defined within a northeast-trending, elongated zone measuring 4km x 1km. The system has been tested by 21 drill holes totalling 3123m. The best drill intersections were 44m @ 0.85% copper.
Other drill highlights include:
33m @ 0.42% copper, including 10m @ 0.65% copper
110m @ 0.31% copper
152m @ 0.25% copper
101m @ 0.2% copper
192m @ 0.15% copper
Further evaluation of the Nakru 3, 4 and Plesyumi prospects is currently being undertaken, after which a work programme will be developed.

| Drilling & Exploration Activitites Update - Simuku Project - 26 May, 2008 |
SUMMARY
Coppermoly Limited is pleased to announce that at Simuku, hole SMD017 (Site D, Figure 1) has been completed to 177.3m with core dispatched to the laboratory along with trench samples.
Hole SMD019 (Site B) was drilled to 37.6m depth to date and SMD020 (Site C) is being drilled by the recently arrived third rig and is currently at 80m depth.
SMD018 – (Site C) was prematurely terminated at 7m depth due to ground conditions.
It is expected a fourth drill rig will be on-site in June to ensure continuous drilling with minimum disruption from mechanical breakdowns.
A total length of 2200m of trenching/access has been completed to the Magipmo site and 400m of trenching has been completed at Nayam.
The company has also refocused its management team with Doug Hutchison resuming the role of Technical Director. His previous duties as Chief Operating Officer will now be shared between Exploration Manager (Trevor Smith) and the Managing Director, Peter Swiridiuk.
DRILL CORE DESCRIPTION
SMD017 (169716e, 9367804n, vertical, 177.3m depth) has been completed at Tobarum Hill. Observations confirm that we are in a mineralised porphyry system.
Conrad Palaulo, Supervising Geologist for Coppermoly Limited, described the core as follows:
“Some preliminary comments made from the first 50m saw that there are episodic structural events with mineral association as indicated by the crosscutting structures. Oxidation from the surface extends to 10m (0-10m) with weakly leached argillic clay + haematite- quartz+/-pyrite. Structures within the top 30m are stained by bluish/green (malachite and/or antlerite/brochanite). No acid as yet to determine if it is malachite or brochantite/antlerite but it is secondary copper.
Mineralisation is such that the top 10m (0-10m) is oxidised and weakly leached. The next 20m (11-30m) appear to be of quartz – magnetite-pyrite+/-haematite fractures and bluish green fractures. Beyond 30m is primary sulphide especially pyrite–chalcopyrite+/-galena/sphalerite-/+pinkish veins. Chalcopyrites are also in vein as well as disseminates but the latter is common especially where there is silica flooding.
This vertical hole makes it obvious to recognise three crosscutting structures so far. Two are steep to core axis but dipping in opposite directions while the third is shallow to almost flat lying. It appears that the earlier dipping structures are associated with quartz-magnetite-haematite, which is cut by the shallow quartz-stockwork veins. The latter structure is steeply dipping and offsets the earlier ones and is associated with carbonate+/- basemetal-chalcopyrite. In places the earlier steeply dipping structure is remobilised as indicated by chalcopyrite appearing as in fills in the quartz-haematite-magnetite veins/structure.”
TARGET AREA DESCRIPTIONS
Doug Hutchison, Technical Director for Coppermoly Limited, described a review of the Nayam, West Tobarum and Magipmo target areas as follows:
“The high copper values from previous Placer sampling in Nayam Creek are hosted by strongly silicified quartz porphyry, which outcrops along the creek. The porphyry is overlain by strongly leached to partially oxidised quartz-sericite/clay alerted volcanics, exposed in the trenches above Nayam.
Surface scree near the West Tobarum magnetic anomaly (approximately the centre of the “big porphyry” target) consists of magnetic propylitically altered mafic volcanics.
A brief one-day examination of north and central Magipmo indicates widespread silica flooding, a relatively low sulphide content and pyrite much greater than chalcopyrite. Creek exposures are mostly volcanics with local feldspar and feldspar-quartz porphyry.
Magipmo may represent a higher level in the porphyry system and is perhaps down faulted relative to Tobarum/Nayam.”

| Quarterly Report - 30 April, 2008 |
HIGHLIGHTS
Coppermoly Limited successfully closed its Initial Public Offering (IPO) raising approximately $8.0 million.
Track access had been completed for the Simuku project.Diamond core drilling commenced at the Simuku project and intersected a porphyry copper system. Assay results will become available in May.Two diamond core drill rigs already at Simuku with a third rig available in May.Exploration planned to commence at Mt. Nakru at the end of April.Aerial photography flown over both the Simuku and Nakru projects indicated a probable ring fracture pattern at Simuku which is consistent with other data suggesting the presence of a porphyry copper system some 1.5km in diameter. The interpretation at Nakru indicated ring-type features which could be large-scale gold targets associated with breccia pipes.
The management team was strengthened with the appointment of Exploration Manager, Trevor Smith; Logistics Manager, Lloyd Collar; Technical Advisor, Stan Yeaman and Assistant Company Secretary, Maurice Gannon.
1.0 SUMMARY
Coppermoly successfully listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 25 January 2008 having raised just over $8.0 million via an IPO in order to fund its advanced stage copper-gold-molybdenum exploration projects located on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea (PNG).The projects, namely Simuku and Nakru, comprise of 3 large systems of which Nakru makes up two systems. Coppermoly’s objective is to define a substantial resource, within at least one of these systems, of grades greater than 0.5% copper equivalent over the next 2 years. With historical and sustained high prices of copper and molybdenum (Figures 1 & 2), Coppermoly Ltd is well placed to build on its assets and progress to the next stage of project development.
Coppermoly’s projects are easily accessible by road and are well located close to essential infrastructure including roads, an airfield and a deep water port. Papua New Guinea contains numerous major copper-gold-molybdenum deposits and produces 65 tonnes of gold and 200,000 tonnes of copper each year. Some of these deposits include the Ok Tedi mine, the former Panguna mine, and the Yandera and Frieda River deposits (Figure 3).
Some of the key points in regard to Coppermoly are listed below. For a complete review of Coppermoly please refer to www.coppermoly.com.au.

3.0 EXPLORATION AT SIMUKU (EL 1077)
At Simuku, porphyry style copper-molybdenum-gold mineralisation is known over an area of about 4.5km by 2.2km. More than 23 km of bulldozer trenching and 16 drillholes have defined a large 3,500m by 650m anomalous copper envelope (>1000ppm copper) enclosing an inner anomalous molybdenum envelope (>100ppm molybdenum) (Figure 5). The copper envelope remains open to both the north and south, and additional exploration targets lie outside the presently defined zone.
Several copper-molybdenum drill targets have been defined at Nayam, Tobarum, Misili and Magipmo. Further trenching is planned at Magipmo and Nayam copper targets as well as at the Horseshoe Molybdenum target zone. Initial resource drilling will target the northern end of the >1000ppm copper envelope at Nayam and Tobarum, where the best historical drilling results were obtained.
Results from two drill holes (SMD015 and 016) completed late last year to the south of the Horseshoe molybdenum zone intersected lower grade and erratic molybdenum, compared to those previously intersected in hole SMD014. Recent air photographic studies by Coppermoly’s Technical Advisor, Stan Yeaman, suggest these holes were not located along strike from Horseshoe as previously thought, but were peripheral to a possible silica breccia which is thought to host the molybdenum mineralisation.
Drill holes SMD015 and SMH016 were completed to test what was thought to be an extension to the molybdenum zone intersected in hole SMD014 (19m at 0.32% molybdenum). Unfortunately these holes had relatively poor core recovery and thus may understate the molybdenum content. Hole SMD015 intersected anomalous copper of between 100ppm and 0.21% throughout and appears to have been drilled in rocks peripheral to the main mineralised zone. Hole SMD016, which was terminated at depth of 123m, encountered higher copper and molybdenum values, but not of the order of those in SMD014. The hole is consistently mineralised with most values in the range of 0.05 to 0.1% copper and with a best interval of 10m at 0.17% copper from 106 to 116m downhole. Hole SMD016 had three zones of elevated molybdenum:
71 to 77m, 6m at 0.025% molybdenum (high of 0.055% molybdenum)
93 to 99m, 6m at 0.018% molybdenum
103 to 106m, 3m at 0.019% molybdenum
Hole SMD016 intersected a zone of higher zinc mineralisation, 99m to 103m, 4m at 1.36% zinc. These zinc results indicate that the structure drilled by these holes is probably part of the outer fringe of the porphyry copper system centred some 1,000m to the north. Further follow up drilling and trenching is planned for this molybdenum target area.
Aerial photography was flown to provide detailed photo-grammatic, photo-geological and topographic data. Accurate topographic data is required before a resource estimate can be undertaken at the Simuku or Nakru copper-molybdenum-gold systems.
The 1:10,000 photo geological study has indicated a probable ring fracture pattern in the intruded dacitic volcanics in the vicinity of Mt Tobarum where almost all drilling in past decades was concentrated. The photo interpretation indicates that the focus of the ring fracture pattern is also the approximate centre of the 1.4km-diameter aeromagnetic ‘donut’ which exhibits strongly anomalous copper in drainage samples. The western third of this feature is host to a distinct IP (dipole-dipole array) anomaly. The intrusive contact of well mineralised porphyry (0.6% to 0.7% copper) can be seen in Trench 4. The photo-geological interpretation is therefore consistent with there being a large but untested mineralised and altered intrusive centred about 700m west of drill holes SMD1 and SMD3.

Figure 5: Simuku Prospect showing Copper-Molybdenum envelope
Stage 1 of the Simuku drilling program envisages up to 17 holes, each 150 to 300m in length for a total meterage of approximately 5,000. Several holes could be continued to 500m to test depth extent of the system, if warranted.
Drilling has commenced at site D (Figure 6) at trench four which had 63m at 0.47% copper including 18m at 0.74% copper in quartz porphyry. A second drill rig will begin drilling at site C to target the previous intersection in the lower part of drillhole SMD03 of 50m at 0.5% copper. This will be followed by drilling at site B, which is located near the best historical copper intersections in drill hole and trench.
With the addition of a third drill rig the Horseshoe molybdenum zone will be further targeted at Sites H and I. In the interim several further trenches will be dug to more accurately define the surface extent of significant grade molybdenum mineralisation. Trenching will also be extended to other areas of the Simuku Project.

4.0 EXPLORATION AT NAKRU (EL 1043)
The Mt Nakru project area within EL 1043 encloses two large porphyry copper-gold (molybdenum) systems located at Mt Nakru (Figure 7) and Plesyumi (Figure 4).
At Mt Nakru significant copper and gold mineralisation, along with highly anomalous silver, molybdenum and zinc values, are present within a large, hydrothermally altered, acid-intermediate intrusive-extrusive complex occupying an area of at least 40 sq.km. Mineralisation has been found over an area of at least 1sq.km and four copper-gold prospects (Nakru 1-4) have been discovered.

Figure 7: Mt Nakru prospects showing potential size of targets
Only Nakru 1 Prospect has been explored in detail and drill tested. More than 10km of bulldozer trenching and 12 diamond drill holes have been completed. The best drill intersections include 94m at 0.43% copper, 0.46g/t gold (from 91m); and 205m at 0.4% copper (from surface), including 74m at 0.78% copper (from 93m). The highest copper grades occur at depths below about 60 metres indicating the main copper system may lie below the level currently tested by drilling. Only two of the 12 holes drilled at Nakru 1 Prospect are deeper than 200m and little deep drill testing of the system has been undertaken.
An extensive blanket of gold-mineralised breccia masks much of the underlying copper mineralisation at Nakru 1 Prospect, and is thought to be derived from a younger, explosive, epithermal mineralising event that overprints the earlier porphyry mineralisation. Trench intersections in breccia blanket include 55m at 4.7g/t gold, 51m at 2.2g/t gold and 245m at 0.8g/t gold. Individual mineralised clasts in the breccia contain values of up to 37g/t gold indicating there is potential for higher grade gold mineralisation in the feeder zones at depth.
At Nakru 2 Prospect, bulldozer trenching has exposed significant copper mineralised intervals and local very high copper grades, including 25m at 1.43% copper; 25m at 1.06g/t gold; 4m at 6.6% copper; and up to 19.9% copper in grab samples. No drill testing has been undertaken at Nakru 2 Prospect.
Aerial photography interpretation indicated several ring-type features within the caldera which could be breccia pipes. All of these may be followed-up as possible large-scale gold targets. Some of the world’s largest gold deposits are in breccia pipes associated with collapsed calderas.
An exploration programme is currently being developed with upgrading of track access commencing by the end of April. The programme will initially target previously reported gold intersections in trenches.

| Simuku Drilling Commenced - 04 April, 2008 |
Coppermoly Limited (COY:ASX) is pleased to announce that diamond core drilling has commenced ahead of schedule with 16.4m being drilled in its first day of operation. As of today the hole depth is at 70.8m.
The location is at Site D (see plan map below and ASX release dated 17 March 2008) at Tobarum Hill at the northern end of the Simuku porphyry copper system. Site D is located at trench four which had 63m at 0.47% copper including 18m at 0.74% copper in quartz porphyry.
A second drill rig is planned to commence this month to further progress the drilling programme of the next holes at A, B, B1 and C (see map plan below).
Stage 1 of the Simuku drilling program plans up to 17 holes, each 150 to 300m depth for a total metreage of up to 5,000m.
AIR PHOTO INTERPRETATION – NAKRU
Aerial photography has been flown to provide detailed photo-grammatic, photo-geological and topographic data. Mr W.S. Yeaman, Technical Advisor, completed an interpretation of the Nakru project area and commented as follows:
“The area studied is the eastern sector of a collapsed large caldera structure. There are several ring-type features within the caldera which could be breccia pipes, and all of these should be carefully followed-up as possible large-scale gold targets. I cannot warrant that I have identified all the prospective ring structures in the area, and therefore the photos should be re-examined where there is a cluster of encouraging creek float or drainage geochem.
Some of the world’s largest gold deposits are in breccia pipes associated with collapsed calderas and these ring structures should be examined from this standpoint.”
Work is expected to start at Nakru by the end of April and will initially target previously reported gold intersections in trenches. A more detailed release will be made at the time of commencement of work.

| Simuku Access Road Completed, Drilling to Re-Commence Early April - 17 March, 2008 |
HIGHLIGHTS
DRILLING PROGRAM - SIMUKU
Stage 1 of the Simuku drilling program envisages 17 holes, each 150 to 300m in length for a total meterage of approximately 5,000m. Several holes could be continued to 500m to test depth extent of the system, if warranted.
Drilling will commence at sites D and B (see plan map below), which are located near the best historical copper intersections in drill hole and trench. For example, hole D is located in Trench 4 which had 63m at 0.47% copper including 18m at 0.74% copper in quartz porphyry.
With the addition of a third drill rig, the Horseshoe molybdenum zone will be further targeted. In the interim several further trenches will be dug to more accurately define the surface extent of significant grade molybdenum mineralisation. Trenching will also be extended to other areas of the Simuku Project.
Aerial photography has been flown to provide detailed photo-grammatic, photo-geological and topographic data. Accurate topographic data is required before a resource estimate can be undertaken.
Mr W.S. Yeaman, Technical Advisor, commented as follows: “At Simuku the 1:10,000 photo geological study has indicated a probable ring fracture pattern in the intruded dacitic volcanics in the vicinity of Mt Tobarum where almost all drilling in past decades was concentrated. The photo interpretation indicates that the focus of the ring fracture pattern is also the approximate centre of the 1.4km-diameter aeromagnetic ‘donut’ which exhibits strongly anomalous copper in drainage samples. The western third of this feature is host to a distinct IP (dipole-dipole array) anomaly. The intrusive contact of well mineralised porphyry (0.6% to 0.7% Cu) can be seen in Trench 4. The photo-geological interpretation is therefore consistent with there being a large but untested mineralised and altered intrusive centred about 700m west of drill holes SMD1 and SMD”.
DRILL RESULTS FOR SMH015 AND SMH016
Drill holes SMH015 and SMH016 were completed in late 2007 (see ASX Release dated 31 January 2008) to test what was thought to be an extension to the molybdenum zone intersected in hole SMH014 (19m at 0.32% molybdenum). Unfortunately, these holes had relatively poor core recovery and thus may understate the molybdenum content. Hole SMH015 intersected anomalous copper of between 100ppm and 0.21% throughout and appears to have been drilled in rocks peripheral to the main mineralised zone. Hole SM016, which was terminated at depth of 123m encountered higher copper and molybdenum values but not of the order of those in SMD014. The hole is consistently mineralised with most values in the range of 0.05 to 0.1% copper and with a best interval of 10m at 0.17% copper from 106 to 116m downhole. Hole SMO016 had three zones of elevated molybdenum:
As mentioned above, these values may be understated due to poor core recovery and the fact that in such circumstances molybdenite tends to be “washed out”. In addition, hole SMD016 intersected a zone of higher zinc mineralisation, 99m to 103m, 4m at 1.36% zinc. These zinc results indicate that the structure drilled by these holes is probably part of the outer fringe of the porphyry copper system centred some 1000m to the north.
The results from holes SMH 15 and 16, as stated above, and including the zinc mineralisation, are interpreted to suggest that both these holes are peripheral to the main copper/molybdenum mineralisation.
Drill samples were half core, sawed on site and shipped to ALS-Chemex laboratories in Townsville for assay. The molybdenum results quoted are by pressed powder XRF.

| Coppermoly Lists on ASX and to Commence Resource Definition Drilling - 31 January, 2008 |
MOLYBDENITE INTERSECTED IN TWO DRILL HOLES
Coppermoly Limited, which lists on the Australian Securities Exchange today, has completed two drill holes intended to extend the known molybdenum mineralisation at its Simuku Project on New Britain island, Papua New Guinea. Molybdenite (a mineral which contains molybdenum) was intersected in both holes and assays are expected in approximately four weeks. Further details of the drilling are provided in this release.
The company will commence resource definition drilling at both the Simuku and Mt Nakru copper/gold/molybdenum projects with the main objective of defining resources within 18 months.
Peter Swiriduik, Managing Director commented: “We have two drill rigs immediately available to start drilling once upgraded and extended camp facilities are in place. Two excavators and two bulldozers are being scheduled to assist in drill road preparation, trenching and access and by mid-year, we expect to have four drills operating.
Coppermoly’s management team has extensive experience in Papua New Guinea. Bob McNeil, Chairman, was previously General Manager for Esso in Papua New Guinea in the 1980’s, and Doug Hutchison, Chief Operating Officer, has more than 30 years experience in Melanesia, including Papua New Guinea.” Mr Swiridiuk added.
Chairman Bob McNeil, who is also Chairman and CEO of the company’s largest shareholder, New Guinea Gold Corporation, which is listed on the Toronto Venture Exchange,(TSX-V:NGG) said Coppermoly was fortunate to have the benefit of considerable early exploration. “These are very exciting projects. Extensive preparatory and exploration work, totalling in excess of AUD$20 million in today’s dollars, has been completed by past explorers including Esso and New Guinea Gold Corporation. With today’s higher metal prices compared to that of the 1990’s and $8.0 million cash in the bank, Coppermoly is in an excellent position to develop these projects with the aim of developing at least one of the porphyry deposits to pre-feasibility stage within 18 to 24 months.
Coppermoly’s projects have several compelling advantages:
Location – excellent location with road/track access, close to infrastructure including port and jet airport, and relatively easy tailing disposal. This will ultimately lead to lower exploration costs, lower capital requirements for development and lower mine operating costs.
The extensive exploration already completed includes over 40 kms of bulldozer/excavator trenching and more than 50 drill holes. This drilling and trenching suggests the systems are very large – with alteration over more than 10 sq kms at each project – and likely to contain widespread copper and gold mineralisation comparable to other porphyry copper systems in Papua New Guinea.
The two projects have separate gold and/or molybdenum potential which may be amenable to early development. At Mt Nakru, trench results included 35m at 7.26g/t gold and 42m at 2.70g/t gold including 3.0m at 16.8g/t gold. At Simuku, trench results include 78m at 0.133% molybdenum and drill results 19m at 0.32% molybdenum and 0.10% copper.”
The geological potential of the properties is illustrated by the drill and trench results listed below.

Simuku Molybdenum Drill Core Description – Holes SMH015 and SMH016
Two drill holes have been completed in the Misile Hill – Horseshoe area at the Simuku Project. Both holes were located at 169456E/936791N. SMH015 was drilled on an azimuth of 270ºM, inclination of -70º to a depth of 50.8m. Hole SMH016 was drilled at an azimuth of 023ºM, inclination of -60º to a depth of 123.1m. These holes are approximately 250m south of the SMH014 which intersected 19m from surface of 0.32% molybdenum.
Conrad Palaulo, Supervising Geologist for Coppermoly Limited, described the core as follows: “The first 20m (0-20m) of hole SMH015 consists of strongly oxidised fractured brecciated argillic over phyllic altered dacite porphyry with pyrite, chalcocite, molybdenite and hematite disseminates. Silicified clasts have hematite quartz stock-work veining.
From 20m to 35m, the core consists of silicified phyllic altered dacite to feldspar dacite porphyry with fine hairline pyrite and quartz veinlets with chalcopyrite, molybdenite +/- chalcocite crystals associating along the veinlets mostly as dissemination. Within this zone are narrow sheared fault zones consisting of puggy gray clay plus sulphides and quartz plus feldspar dacite porphyry clasts with fine disseminated molybdenite and pyrite (5-10%) with chalcopyrite/pyrite/molybdenite veins. The geology is similar to that logged for SMH014 (100m) drilled 250m to the North.
In hole SMH016 the first 15m (0-15m) consists of strongly oxidised, argillic altered, brecciated to friable silicified fragments of dacite porphyry with oxidized clay and sandy material comprising quartz, chalcocite, hematite, minor jarosite, +/- pyrite.
From 15m through to 25.80m is argillic over phyllic altered, brecciated friable dacite porphyry fragments and clasts with oxidized clay, brecciated intervals of dacite porphyry in parts. The interval comprises of pyrite mostly in disseminated form, chalcocite, molybdenite, limonite (hematite) staining with minor quartz hematite stockwork along the brecciated units in this interval. Oxidation is generally strong from top of the hole down to the contact where it is mostly fracture controlled at 25m.
The entire hole is brecciated with angular – sub-angular quartz-dacite porphyry fragments within clast –clay supported matrix. Sulphide mineralisation is mostly pyrite in a disseminated form +/- chalcocite molybdenite (1-2%). Below the oxidation zone (0-25m) is strong to moderately silicified with quartz stock work/veinlets +/- chalcocite +/- molybdenite +/-chalcopyrite. Epithermal textured quartz is present in places as fracture fills. Chalcocite content decreases from this interval mostly in disseminated form, after 50m and gradually diminishes. Molybdenite generally appears as disseminates.”
