Beaconsfield Gold - 2005 Announcements

Following the previously reported seismic event at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine on 26 October 2006, the Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture commissioned consultants to carry out a comprehensive geotechnical and mining method review.

A detailed mine inspection and review was conducted by the site's regular geotechnical consultant. This review focused on the installed ground support and the extent of seismic damage in the underground workings. The review highlighted work to be done throughout the mine, with a recommendation for increased levels of ground support in certain areas.

At the same time, independent advice was sought from two other mining consultants. The key outcomes are:

A revised mining extraction sequence, known as checkerboarding, is now being introduced. This mining method is a variation on the half upper method previously adopted - the main difference being that the extraction of short panels before backfilling is now required.
Additional ground support is being used in seismically prone areas.
3D modelling is being conducted, both to back analyse the cause of the recent events and to allow assessment of the proposed extraction sequence and assist to anticipate and minimise the effects from this new mine extraction sequence and increasing stress at depth.

This work is ongoing, with stoping, including from the deferred high grade stoping areas, being progressively brought back into production as the ground support work is completed.

At this stage, it is not anticipated that the revised mining method and ground support requirements will materially lower the production rate. However, until the revised method has been implemented and in place for some time, some uncertainty remains. In terms of production cost, it is not anticipated that the revised mining method and ground support requirements will add significantly to direct costs.

The Directors of Beaconsfield Gold are encouraged by the results of the comprehensive review and are pleased to note that the recommended changes to mining method and ground support are not expected to materially impact future production or costs.

UPDATE ON DECEMBER 2005 QUARTER PRODUCTION

This release updates the Company's release of 2 November 2005 regarding December 2005 Quarter gold production.

Mine management has achieved substantial success in ameliorating the impact of the seismic event that occurred on 26 October.

Previously, the mine site forecast a range of quarterly gold production of between 15,000 and 21,000 ounces for the Beaconsfield Mine following the seismic event.

While a full geotechnical and mining method review to maximise short term and long term production is yet to be completed, Beaconsfield Gold now anticipates December quarter production in the upper end of the previously reported range with a possibility of 21,000 ounces being exceeded.

Beaconsfield Gold expects that any shortfall in gold production for the December 2005 quarter will be recovered in the remainder of the 2005/2006 year.

Further information will be released when the review is complete.

CHAIRMAN'S ADDRESS

ADDRESS BY DR DENIS CLARKE AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING HELD IN THE BEACONSFIELD COMMUNITY CENTRE
ON MONDAY 14 NOVEMBER 2005.

The year since we last met at this place has been generally one of successful consolidation for Beaconsfield Gold following its relisting in April 2004. The Company is now well established, and there is an ever-increasing sense of "business as usual" about its activities. This is not to say that the year has been devoid of significant challenges and achievements. It has been an extremely active and demanding year.
In this short address I will briefly comment on the Beaconsfield Mine, important corporate matters and our current corporate strategy.

1. The Beaconsfield Mine

As background to points raised later in this address, it is worth stating a few facts about the Mine.

The Company's principal asset is its minority 48.49% non-operating interest in the unincorporated Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture. The Allstate Explorations N L group holds the balance of the Joint Venture. At present our interest is effectively an investment, as we do not manage the Joint Venture and have restricted ability to direct developments at the Mine.

The orebody, named the Tasmania Reef, is probably the largest single high-grade quartz vein in Australian mining history. Total endowment to 1200m depth has been estimated at 2.1 million contained ounces.

The modern underground mine, which commenced in September 1999, has focused on the extension of the Tasmania Reef below the 455m depth of the historical 1877-1914 workings. To date a substantial 680,000 ounces have been produced by the Joint Venture from the modern day mine to a depth of approximately 1000m.

I will now turn to consideration of the recent performance of the Mine.

The Mine performed well in the Financial Year 2004/2005. Details are well documented in the Annual Report and other releases made by the Company.

The Mine produced 125,795 ounces at a direct cost of $349 per ounce. Total cost per ounce, including capital costs, was $420 and your Company sold its share of production at an average of $559 per ounce to achieve a very welcome net cash flow of $8.5 million.

The average head grade fell 18% from the previous year to 17.0 grams per tonne, but mill throughput was a record and gold production decreased only 14% from the record production in the previous year.

The Mine has not totally escaped the trend of increasing cost pressure being experienced throughout the mining industry, although this has been counterbalanced by the rise in the price of gold from $570 at 30 June 2004 to about $ 635 at present. The Mine, as it has progressed to depth, is a relatively high cost operation, and maintenance of high gold prices is very important to ensure adequate operating margins.

The Mine's performance in the four months since June 2005 has been somewhat below budget and we are pleased that the gold price continues to trend strongly upwards.

In September Quarter 2005 the Mine produced 28,083 ounces at a direct operating cost of $413 per ounce. An anticipated better performance in December Quarter has been negatively impacted by a larger than normal seismic event on 26 October that shut down access to certain high-grade stopes thereby causing some production delays. The impact of the seismic event is localised and production continues from other parts of the Mine. Seismic events are not new at the Mine, and some degree of seismicity is not unusual in deep mines. The Joint Venture is making every effort possible to maximise safety, minimise the impact on production and minimise any impact on residents of Beaconsfield who live above the Mine. The Company expects the Mine to return to more normal levels of production in coming quarters.

Reserves at June 30, 2005 stood at 605,000 tonnes at 14.7 grams per tonne and Resources additional to Reserves were 458,000 tonnes at 12.2 grams per tonne. Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are yet to be updated for results of drilling in the last few months. Mill throughput is about 240,000 tonnes per year.

Extension of the Mine's life beyond that based on Reserves depends on the technical and economic viability of mining some or all of the defined resources. The average grade of resources, although still high relative to the grade of most Australian underground gold mines, is less than the headgrade achieved in the last two years. The level of mine planning and economic consideration necessary to justify conversion of resources to reserves has not yet been completed. Australian Mining Consultants, in conjunction with mine staff, have for several months been conducting a detailed study to fully assess the technical and economic aspects of mining resources defined to approximately 1200m depth. The outcomes of the study will be very important in determining the manner in which the Mine is exploited going forward.

Beaconsfield Gold considers that the undrilled extension of the Tasmania Reef between 1200m and 1500m depth represents an attractive exploration target. The Decline is currently at approximately the 1080m depth and the exploration drilling to test the 1200-1500m interval would require significant capital expenditure to establish suitable drilling positions. The AMC study will guide decisions concerning the justification for very deep drilling.

Our interest in the Mine is a wonderful asset. We recognise the challenge in mining at depth, but also see opportunities that come with it. Given a continued strong gold price, there are substantial rewards yet to come from the Mine

2. Corporate Matters

The Company achieved a Net Profit after Tax of $7.5 million in the 2005 Year.

Repayments of all remaining bank debt has left the Company virtually debt free.

Excluding cash to be received from a successful insurance settlement, the Company's effective cash position at 30 June was $6.8 million.

The Company paid its first ever dividend, an unfranked 1.5 cents, in April this year. Directors have also recommended a final dividend of 1.5 cents per share, which is being put to shareholders for declaration at this meeting. The total dividend will amount to $4.581 million.

The Company now has a robust balance sheet, which will enable it to realise many of the opportunities that currently present themselves.

The processing plant at the Mine has for some years now performed excellently, but difficulties experienced with it in the early years of the Mine have given rise to multiple claims and legal actions by the Company or the Joint Venture. These are outlined in the Annual Report and the September 2005 Quarterly Report. Importantly, in no instance is the Company a defendant and potential exists for the Company to benefit substantially.

In June 2005 the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture and the professional indemnity insurer of the Mine constructor reached an in-principle settlement as part recovery of the Joint Venture's claims in respect of losses associated with the design, construction and commissioning of the Mine's processing plant. The insurer will pay $13 million to the Joint Venture.

It will be some time yet before the benefits to the Company of the other claims and actions by it and the Joint Venture are determined, but shareholders should fully appreciate their potential value.

3. Corporate Strategy

The Board has strengthened our small management team with the appointment in September this year of Bill Colvin as Chief Executive Officer to ensure effective management and pursuit of our strategy.

Beaconsfield Gold's longer-term objective is to become a profitable miner/explorer in its own right. Our strategy is multi-faceted.

In the immediate future the Company will necessarily focus on the maximisation of benefits to shareholders from its interest in the Beaconsfield Mine.

Concurrently the Company will seek to maximise the returns from the claims and actions I mentioned earlier.

The Company seeks organic growth through exploration success.

Our exploration strategy is to remain highly focused on the Beaconsfield region. The prospective Mine Sequence that hosts the Tasmania Reef is grossly under-explored regionally and it is rare to see so few exploration drill holes close to a major gold deposit. The Company, therefore, strongly supports both in-mine and regional exploration efforts by the Joint Venture.

In its own right the Company has undertaken a substantial drilling programme to test the Mine Sequence at North Pease Creek, 4 kilometres north of the Mine using a Tasmania Reef type exploration model. Assays for recent holes are still not available, but I am encouraged by results we have announced to date.

Given the high prospectivity of the Beaconsfield region, our strategy is to be highly selective in acquiring exploration opportunities away from the Beaconsfield region. Only one, an option over the large gold-prospective Stavely project, south of the Stawell Mine in north-western Victoria, has been acquired, as directors consider its exploration potential to be exceptional and the acquisition terms to be favourable.

The Board has also implemented a plan to investigate potential mining acquisitions to provide additional revenue and to diversify the asset base.

At the last Annual General Meeting it was stated that consolidating the ownership of the Mine into Beaconsfield Gold was a primary strategic objective for 2005. Beaconsfield Gold is certainly prepared to pay a fair price to acquire the other interests in the Mine. Some progress has been made, although the complexities surrounding Allstate Explorations N L, the multiplicity of interested parties and the difficult commercial considerations generally have combined to make this a very difficult goal to reach at this stage in the Mine's life. It is our view that in the near future the need for consolidation of ownership to enable optimum development of the Mine may become increasingly apparent to all interested parties, and a consolidation may then be achieved. Your Company will make every commercially sensible effort to consolidate the ownership of the Mine and also to return value to the Company's shareholding in Allstate.

4. Conclusion

Gold mining and exploration can be a very demanding business for operators, directors, management and investors alike, but it can also be a very rewarding business.

We at Beaconsfield Gold have reaped excellent rewards in recent years.

I am confident we now have the capacity, the will, the expertise and the opportunities to build further on earlier hard-won successes to provide an interesting and rewarding future for Beaconsfield Gold and its stakeholders.

DECEMBER 2005 QUARTER PRODUCTION

Allstate, Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, last night released an update to an announcement made on 27 October 2005 regarding a seismic event which occurred on 26 October in the Beaconsfield Mine.

Further preliminary reviews have been undertaken by mine management as to the likely impact of this event on December 2005 quarterly production.

Based on a preliminary report, the mine site is forecasting a range of gold production of between 15,000 ounces and 21,000 ounces for the quarter. This compares with the September 2005 quarter result of approximately 28,000 ounces. The range in forecast production is primarily due to the seismic event on 26 October which has lead to the temporary closure of a number of high grade stopes whilst a full geotechnical and mining method review is carried out. The mine site forecast range assumes that the current geotechnical review finds that the 880W and 890E stopes (which contain approximately 9,000 production ounces) cannot be mined during the December quarter and no alternative short term ore sources can be identified.

No seismic event of significance has been recorded in the mine since 26 October.

Further information will be released when the geotechnical and mining method review is complete.

MEDIA RELEASE
2005 Year Results and Final Dividend

Beaconsfield Gold announced today that it recorded a profit after tax of $7.5 million for the year ended 30 June 2005.

The Board has recommended the payment of a final unfranked dividend of 1.5 cents per share to holders of full-paid ordinary shares, bringing total dividends for the year to 3.0 cents per share.

KEY RESULTS	Year ended 30 June 2005 ($million)
EBITDA	15.7
Net profit after tax	7.5
Net cash from operating activities	8.0
Total dividends paid/recommended	3.0 cents

Commenting on the results, the Chief Executive Officer for Beaconsfield Gold, Bill Colvin, said:

"The strong operational cash flow and the successful insurance settlement during the year have considerably strengthened the balance sheet, allowed for a final dividend payment to shareholders and positioned the Company well for future growth opportunities including the accelerated exploration of our tenements at Beaconsfield in Tasmania and at Mount Stavely in Victoria.

"On our 100% owned tenements adjacent to the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture (BMJV) tenements, recent drilling within the prospective Mine Sequence rocks has encountered encouraging gold mineralisation (up to 3.5 g/t gold over 3.0 metres) that will be followed up over the coming months.

"Exploration will also commence shortly on the recently optioned Stavely project near Stawell in Victoria. A number of high-priority targets have been identified that will benefit from Beaconsfield Gold's focused exploration approach including a 5 km long gold-in-soil anomaly at the Fair View Prospect.

"Importantly for the long term potential of the Beaconsfield Mine, the BMJV will recommence exploration work in late 2005 to test previously identified regional gold targets."

In relation to the proposed final dividend, Chairman Dr Denis Clarke commented:

"With a strong balance sheet that is effectively debt-free, the Board considers it appropriate and desirable to continue to distribute a proportion of cash flow to shareholders in the form of dividends."

Review of Results

The financial results for the 2004/05 year for Beaconsfield Gold are summarised in the following table:

	2005 ($'000)	2004 ($'000)
Gold and silver sales	34,193	39,589
BBR claim recoveries	6,304	650
Other revenue	46	161
Total revenue from ordinary activities excluding interest	40,543	40,400
EBITDA	15,742	17,779
Interest expense/(reversal) - relating to agreement with former banker and BBR claim	3,152	(4,000)
Other net interest expense/(income)	(188)	2,235
Borrowing expenses	88	1,488
Net profit after tax	7,513	11,727
Basic earnings per share	5.12c	12.35c
Total dividends declared/proposed per share	3.0 cents	-
Net Assets	27,485	19,436

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the year ended 30 June 2005 was $15.7 million (2004: $17.8 million). The consolidated net profit after tax for the year was $7.5 million (2004: $11.7 million).

Gold and silver sales revenue for the 2005 year of $34.2 million was 14% below the 2004 figure. Despite record mill throughput and improved gold recovery, gold production for the year was lower because of an 18% reduction in average head grade from 20.8 g/t gold to 17.0 g/t gold. The lower grade mainly impacted in the second half of the year when sequencing constraints underground restricted access to high grade, high tonnage stopes, consistent with the variable nature of the Tasmania Reef.

Higher mine operating costs also impacted the result, reflecting the trend of increased cost pressure throughout the mining industry, combined with deeper mining.

In June 2005, the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture (BMJV) participants and the professional indemnity insurer of Bateman, Brown & Root (BBR) reached an in-principle settlement as part recovery of the BMJV's claims in respect of losses associated with the design, construction and commissioning of the treatment plant at Beaconsfield by BBR. The insurer will pay $13 million to the BMJV participants, of which the Company's share is $6.304 million. Under the terms of a continuing agreement with the Company's former banker covering unpaid loan interest from previous years, 50% of this amount ($3.152 million) is payable to the former banker. The maximum amount payable to the former banker under this agreement is $4.0 million.

Since 30 June 2004, net Company assets have increased significantly by $8.0 million (41%). The main impacts on the balance sheet during the year, apart from the operating result, were:

repayment of $3.2 million outstanding bank debt from cash flow, reducing net interest from $2.2 million paid in 2004 to $0.2 million earned in 2005;
pay-out from cash flow of the Company's remaining share, $2.3 million, of pre-Allstate administration BMJV trade creditors;
conversion of $1.9 million of convertible notes, leaving a balance of $0.2 million;
payment to shareholders of the inaugural interim dividend of $2.3 million.

CHANNEL 9 SUNDAY PROGRAM 14 AUGUST 2005

The cover story on Channel 9's Sunday program yesterday dealt with the financial arrangements of the Allstate group of companies with Macquarie Bank. The Board would like to clarify Beaconsfield Gold's position to any shareholders who may have been confused by yesterday's TV program (http://sunday.ninemsn.com.au/sunday/section/cover_stories.asp).

The Allstate group of companies, which is operating under a Deed of Company Arrangement, holds a total 51.51% interest in the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") which operates the Beaconsfield Mine in north east Tasmania. The Beaconsfield Gold group of companies holds the other 48.49% interest in the BMJV. In addition, Beaconsfield Gold holds 25.62% of the issued shares, both fully paid and partly paid, in Allstate.

The Beaconsfield Gold group receives 48.49 % of the gold production from the mine and the resultant revenue from the sale of that gold, and pays 48.49% of the ongoing costs of the mine. As a result, Beaconsfield Gold's regular cash flow from the mine is totally separate from the cash flow that is received by the Allstate group of companies.

Beaconsfield Gold has various operating banking arrangements with its banker, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, but currently has no bank debt. Beaconsfield Gold has no facilities or arrangements with Macquarie Bank.

OPTION TO ACQUIRE MAJOR COPPER AND GOLD EXPLORATION PROJECT
NEAR STAWELL, VICTORIA

Beaconsfield Gold N L ("BCD") and New Challenge Resources Pty Ltd ("NCR") have executed an agreement whereby BCD has an option to acquire NCR's entire interest in the Stavely Exploration Licence 4556, subject to NCR retaining a royalty interest. The Stavely Project, located 70 kilometres south of Stawell, Victoria contains multiple gold and base metal targets. NCR is associated with well-known Victorian geologist Peter Legge.

The agreement provides BCD with a four-year option to acquire 100% interest in the Exploration Licence 4556 for $350,000, subject to NCR retaining a 3% Net Smelter Return Royalty. BCD is also required to make cash payments totalling $65,000 and must spend $500,000 over four years, if it wishes to maintain the option.

BCD's primary focus will be gold exploration, but nickel, copper and zinc anomalies also warrant investigation.

The extensive Stavely property of 370 square kilometres contains large scale hydrothermal/plutonic mineralizing systems associated with base metal and gold mineralisation. The extensive character of these systems has attracted previous exploration expenditure of some $4million by major companies, including most recently Newcrest Operations Limited.

The Stavely Project contains one of Australia's largest copper anomalies associated with a little known magmatic copper-porphyry complex that has returned significantly mineralised drill intersections such as 229m @ 0.22% copper. Mineralization also includes a supergene chalcocite blanket with significant gold values. The host porphyry complex has similarities to those around the large Cadia copper-gold mine and at the North Parkes copper-gold mine in NSW.

A 3km long gold-in-soil anomaly at the Fair View Prospect and other gold targets have been outlined for immediate exploration.

Massive sulphide mineralization at the Wickliffe Prospect is analogous to the Rosebery and Hellyer-style polymetallic mineralisation in western Tasmania.

A 30km long serpentinite belt is prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation akin to that at the Avebury nickel deposit in western Tasmania, particularly as values up to 1% nickel have been returned from areas of intense alteration.

Beaconsfield Gold's Chairman, Dr Denis Clarke, commented "Stavely is Beaconsfield Gold's first exploration project in recent years outside of the immediate area of the Beaconsfield Gold Mine in Tasmania. The Beaconsfield Mine area remains vastly under explored and will remain our prime focus for several more years. However, Stavely presents us with an exceptional, too-good-to-ignore, opportunity to explore an advanced project with substantial potential for large-scale polymetallic mineralisation. We look forward to working with New Challenge Resources and Peter Legge to realise the outstanding potential of Stavely."

FACILITATION UPDATE

Further to the Company's release of 17 June 2005, the parties met in facilitation in late June 2005. The Directors are pleased to announce that the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture ("BMJV") participants and the professional indemnity insurer of the BBR Companies reached an in-principle settlement whereby the insurer will pay $13 million as full settlement of the insurer's exposure, subject to the provision of certain third party releases. The BMJV participants are now seeking those releases in order to progress the in-principle settlement.

The BBR Companies were responsible for the design, supply, construction and commissioning of the gold treatment plant and backfill plant at the Beaconsfield Mine. Whilst the arbitration award made against the BBR Companies in January 2004 was in excess of $60 million (Beaconsfield Gold group share in excess of $29 million), plus interest, the professional indemnity insurance was capped at $20 million under the terms of the construction contract.

The Beaconsfield Gold group's 48.49% share of the $13 million in-principle settlement is approximately $6.3 million.

As previously announced, when Beaconsfield Gold came out of receivership in March 2004, $4 million of interest due to the Company's secured creditor was set aside, to be repaid only from 50% of any proceeds received by Beaconsfield Gold from the BBR arbitration. As a result, it is anticipated that approximately $3.15 million of this contingent liability will be repaid as a result of the in-principle settlement, reducing the contingent liability to approximately $0.85 million.

NORTH PEASE CREEK DRILLING PROGRAM

An extensive reverse-circulation (RC) drilling program will commence this week on the Company’s (BCD) 100%-owned North Pease Creek tenements which extend from approximately 3.5 km to 5.5 km north west of the Beaconsfield Mine.

The aim of the program is to test the first 800 metres of strike length of the prospective Mine Sequence rocks for analogues of the Beaconsfield Mine’s Tasmania Reef. The limited drilling carried out by BCD to date has: -

(1) established that the prospective Mine Sequence rocks are present and concealed under between 30 metres and 65 metres of Tertiary and/or Permian cover in the area to be drilled in this RC program (which clearly prevented any historic exploration); and
(2) encountered encouragingly anomalous gold and arsenic values (up to 3.8 g/t gold over 1.0 metre).

Up to 20 RC holes to a depth of 200 metres will be drilled in the program.

FACILITATION REGARDING BBR ARBITRATION AWARD

The Beaconsfield Gold group of companies will shortly participate in a Facilitation (similar to mediation) as the next step in the group’s pursuit of recovery under the arbitration award made in January 2004 against the companies (the “BBR Companies”) responsible for the design, supply, construction and commissioning of the gold treatment plant and backfill plant at the Beaconsfield Mine.

The Facilitation, which will include the professional indemnity insurer of the BBR Companies, will attempt to settle disputes in relation to payment under the insurance component of the claim against the BBR Companies.

Whilst the arbitration award made against the BBR Companies was in excess of $60 million (Beaconsfield Gold group share in excess of $29 million), plus interest, the professional indemnity insurance was capped at $20 million under the terms of the construction contract.

The Company will keep the market informed of the progress of the Facilitation.

BEACONSFIELD GOLD DECLARES MAIDEN DIVIDEND

Beaconsfield Gold will pay its first dividend to shareholders. An interim unfranked dividend of 1.5 cents per fully paid share will be paid on 8 April 2005 to holders of fully paid ordinary shares registered at the close of business on 21 March 2005. The ex dividend date will be 15 March 2005.

Net profit for Beaconsfield Gold for the half year ending 31 December 2004 was $2.420 million (December 2003 half year: $4.874 million). Profit before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation was $5.554 million.

The profit was generated from revenue of $18.339 million ($20.556 million) arising from Beaconsfield Gold's share of production of 33,802 ounces (38,152 ounces).

The Board considers it appropriate, with the Company having fully repaid its bank debt, that Beaconsfield Gold's shareholders now receive the benefits accruing from the high grade, high cash flow Beaconsfield Mine.

Chairman Denis Clarke said: "The declaration of Beaconsfield Gold's first dividend provides confirmation of the financial strength of the Company and of its positive outlook. The Company is now in a position to capitalise on its acquisition and exploration opportunities".

The Company, on 25 February, completed arrangements for its new banking facilities with Commonwealth Bank of Australia, details of which have been announced previously.

DENIS CLARKE APPOINTED CHAIRMAN

Beaconsfield Gold today appointed Dr Denis Clarke as Chairman of the Company.

Dr Clarke replaces Mr Tony Greenwood who, as the Chairman of Beaconsfield Gold from December 2003, guided the Company astutely as it re-established itself in 2004 as a successful mid-tier gold producer. Mr Greenwood has retired as a director and the Board would like to express its deep gratitude for his substantial contribution to the Company.

Dr Clarke has extensive technical, financial and corporate experience in the mining and exploration industry in Australia and overseas. For 16 years (1983 to 1998) he contributed significantly to the outstanding success of Plutonic Resources Limited which developed into one of Australia's largest gold producers with five operating mines before being absorbed by Homestake Mining Company, the merger valuing Plutonic at around A$1 billion. At Plutonic, he was General Manager - Corporate and successively managed the Exploration Division, the Finance and Administration Division and the Corporate Division. Prior to joining Plutonic, he spent 10 years in exploration with the Rio Tinto subsidiary, Rio Algom Limited, mostly in Canada.

Dr Clarke has a B.Sc. (Geology) first class honours degree and a B.A. (Economics & Statistics) degree from the University of Queensland and a Ph.D. (Geology) from Stanford University in the U.S.A. He is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. He is currently a Director of Troy Resources NL, Anglo Australian Resources NL and is the Chairman of Cullen Resources Limited.

The Directors said it was a reflection of the Company's dramatically improved balance sheet and future prospects that Beaconsfield Gold had been able to attract such an experienced exploration and mining industry professional as Dr Clarke to lead the Company in its next phase of growth.

RETURN TO NORMAL PRODUCTION AT BEACONSFIELD GOLD MINE
AFTER PRODUCTION DELAYED BY SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS

The manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, Allstate Explorations NL ("Allstate"), has reported that, following the power interruption to operations at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine caused by severe weather conditions on 2 February, the processing plant is expected to return to normal operations today. The mine returned to normal on 3 February.

The ball mill was restarted at 2pm on 11 February, and site management reported on 15 February that "all [bacterial leaching] reactors are now back to operating temperature" and that the feed rate has been increased to 3.4tph, which is close to maximum. Both of these factors are critical to normal operations.

During the processing plant shutdown period the mine continued as normal, and the opportunity was taken to carry out preventative maintenance on certain areas of the plant.

Due to excess capacity in the processing plant, Allstate expects that the production shortfall resulting from the power outage can be recovered in future months by running down the current high levels of ore in surface stockpiles.

PRODUCTION DELAYED BY SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS

Severe weather conditions in north-eastern Tasmania, with winds gusting to 100kph, have caused some production delays at the Beaconsfield Gold mine.

Power to both mine and processing plant was lost at around 10:00 pm on Wednesday, 2 February. It was restored to the mine about six hours later. However, the power line linking the mine with the processing plant was taken out and damaged by a falling tree. This link is presently being repaired by linesmen from Aurora Energy.

The weather has abated and mining production has now resumed after a pause which was implemented because of the possibility of power losses underground. The delay in mine production will have minimal impact on gold production due to the current high levels of run-of-mine ore in surface stockpiles.

While the ball mill was already shut down for routine planned maintenance, power to the bacterial oxidation plant was lost and will not be restored until the power line is repaired. Diesel air compressors have been mobilized to inject air into the tanks in order to minimize loss of bacteria activity.

Some decrease in February bullion production is anticipated, the extent of which is presently uncertain. However, due to excess capacity in the processing plant, it is expected that any short term loss of production can be made up in coming months.

UPDATE OF ORE RESERVES AND RESOURCES AT BEACONSFIELD GOLD MINE

Attached is a copy of an announcement made to the Australian Stock Exchange today by Allstate Explorations NL (Subject to Deed of Company Arrangement) (“Allstate”), Manager of the Beaconsfield Mine Joint Venture, in regard to Resource/Reserve estimates as at 31 December 2004 for the Tasmania Reef at the Beaconsfield Gold Mine.

Beaconsfield Gold NL has a 48.49% interest in the Beaconsfield Gold Mine.

Total Reserves at 31 December 2004 are estimated by Allstate to be 783,000 tonnes at 15.0 g/t gold for 377,000 ounces contained gold. Total Reserves at 30 June 2004 were 736,000 tonnes at 16.1 g/t gold for 381,000 ounces and Allstate has calculated depletion from mining over the six months to 31 December 2004 to be approximately 125,500 tonnes at 19.2 g/t gold or approximately 77,470 ounces. Therefore, reserve drilling and development carried out on the Tasmania Reef during the half year was successful in adding approximately 73,470 ounces to Reserves. Completion of the ongoing drilling program is expected by June 2005. Approximately 10,000 metres in 40 holes remains to be drilled.

Inferred Resources at 31 December 2004 are estimated by Allstate to be 296,000 tonnes at 12.8 g/t gold for 121,000 ounces contained gold, compared to an estimate of 586,000 tonnes at 19.0 g/t gold for 358,000 ounces at 30 June 2004. Allstate has reported, in part:

“Drilling has highlighted the presence of a hangingwall splay in the “F21 Zone”. Current data suggests that the splay node on the Tasmania Reef occurs around 3050mE and dips steeply to the west. All holes east of the splay node (including previously reported holes F21, F23, F49 and F51) have been reinterpreted to recognise this hangingwall splay ………. The Mineral Resource Estimates updated to 31 December 2004 …….. only consider the Tasmania Reef. Substantially more of the planned drilling is required before a full understanding of the nature of the hangingwall reef can be determined, and only then will it be considered in future Estimates……...”

The Resource/Reserve Statement attached to the Allstate announcement summarises the downward revision of the inferred resource estimate as follows: -

“The material change in the volume and tenor of the Inferred Resource ….. is two-fold. It derives from

removing the hangingwall splay portion of the F21 intercept from consideration in the estimates for the time being, and
restricting the influence of the Tasmania Reef portion of the F21 intercept as a result of the addition to the database of surrounding holes of generally lower tenor.”

The F21 intersection had previously been interpreted by Allstate as a single intercept of the Tasmania Reef with an estimated horizontal thickness (EHT) of 10.6 metres at 37.48 g/t gold for gold content (thickness x grade) of approximately 397 gram-metres and this gold content contributed to the 30 June 2004 Inferred Resource estimate. The F21 intersection has now been reinterpreted by Allstate as a hangingwall intersection of 2.6 metres EHT at 78.29 g/t gold and a Tasmania Reef intersection of 2.4 metres EHT at 42.10 g/t gold. The F21 main reef intersection, with a gold content of approximately 101 gram-metres, has contributed to the 31 December 2004 Inferred Resource estimate. Significantly, the F21 hangingwall reef intersection, with a gold content of approximately 204 gram-metres, has not contributed to the 31 December 2004 Inferred Resource estimate and will not be considered for inclusion in Resource calculations until “a full understanding of the nature of the hangingwall reef can be determined” by Allstate, which will likely be at the completion of the current drilling program in mid 2005. Put simply, no resources have been attributed to the hangingwall reef in the latest estimate.
