Australian Mines Limited (AUZ) - Reidel Resources Limited (RIE) Agreement

On 29 May 2015, Australian Mines (ASX: AUZ) announced that the Company has earned a 51% interest in the exploration tenements E52/2394 and E52/2395, having met the terms under the Heads of Agreement with Riedel Resources (ASX: RIE) to spend $1 million in exploration before April 2016.
The key terms of the AUZ - RIE Agreement are summarised in the Company's announcement of
30 April 2014.

Australian Mines Limited (AUZ) - Lodestar Minerals Limited (LSR) Agreement

During the quarter, Australian Mines (ASX: AUZ) entered into a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Lodestar Minerals (ASX: LSR) covering the exploration tenements E52/2440, E52/2444, E52/2456, E52/2468, E52/2492 and E52/2493.
The key commercial terms of the Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement were announced on 11
June 2015 and include:
Australian Mines may acquire a 51% interest in All Minerals Excluding Gold within the tenements listed above in table 6.2 by spending $1 million on exploration within an initial two-year period from the signing of the Agreement. (Under this Agreement, All Minerals Excluding Gold means any mineralisation where gold either is absent or, if present, is not the dominant mineral within a maiden Mineral Resource).

Australian Mines has the right to withdraw from the Joint Venture subject to the Company spending a minimum of $150,000 in exploration on these tenements within six months from the signing of the Agreement ('Minimum Expenditure').

If Australian Mines exercises its option to continue with the Joint Venture after this initial six month period, the Company must make a cash payment to Lodestar Minerals of

$250,000 by 10 December 2015.

Following the acquisition of the initial 51%, Australian Mines may elect to acquire an additional 29% interest (taking the total to 80%) in the tenements by spending a further $2 million on exploration within a further 24-month period.

Appendix 5B Page 4

Appendix 5B Mining exploration entity quarterly report

Once Australian Mines has satisfied its earn-in obligations, with a resulting Joint Venture interest of either 51% of 80%, Lodestar Minerals may elect to contribute on a pro-rata

basis or dilute their interest according to the standard industry formula.
