June 2007 Quarterly Report

Rey Resources Limited ABN 84 108 003 890 ASX Code: REY

Rey completed its initial public offering raising approximately $3.3 million to list on the ASX on 5 June 2006. Gujarat NRE Coke Limited is a substantial shareholder. Rey is a mineral exploration company holding coal, oil and gas tenements covering large areas in Western Australia and prospective copper and gold tenements in Chile and Peru.

All of Rey’s properties are 100% owned, and in the opinion of Directors offer good potential for medium-to-large-scale economic deposits.

The Company’s immediate priorities are to obtain preliminary resource estimates for its Liveringa Coal Project in WA and its Fenix Copper Project in Chile through drilling programmes in 2007.

Good farm-out opportunities exist for the potentially large porphyry copper-gold projects in Chile: Humitos and El Timon. Rey is currently carrying out further work to enhance value prior to drilling.

HIGHLIGHTS

Fenix Copper Project Chile � 2,500 metre Stage 2 drilling programme over the vein and “mantos”

systems commenced on 20 July, 2007 following intensive re-interpretation of all survey data. Results expected mid-to-late August.

Liveringa Coal/ Petroleum Projects Western Australia � Rey and the Kimberley Lands Council have signed a Native Title and

Heritage Protection Agreement covering the Company’s mineral tenements. Shallow Stage 2 coal drilling expected to begin as soon as practicable.

� Final Participation and Joint Operating Agreements on petroleum leases were finalised with Gujarat NRE. Native Title and Heritage Protection Agreement covering the two petroleum permit applications was signed.

� Newly uncovered drilling data from the 1970’s has found high quality thermal

coal intersections in the eastern part of the tenements. This area will be targeted in the upcoming drilling.

Myroodah Uranium Tenements � During the June Quarter, Rey has identified a uranium prospect within its

Liveringa Coal Leases, previously drilled by CRA in the 1970s with intersections reporting grades of 0.1 kg/t to 0.48 kg/t. Rey has recently applied for 8 new tenements and will examine all available airborne radiometric data covering the area.

South American Projects

Fenix Copper Project Chile (100%) – (Epithermal Skarn Style) In February Rey reported the assay results from 40 surface samples taken from the Copper Hill prospect and its extension to the northeast. The stratiform “mantos” area containing mineralisation in copper oxides and chalcocite

extends over a length of two kilometres, dipping at 10° - 15° to the southwest and appears to vary in thickness from 15 to 30 metres. It is cut by a series of north-south trending dykes.

Assays returned up to 4.95% Cu in oxides and chalcocite, with an average of 1.3%. The geophysics IP profiles completed over Copper Hill clearly mark contact zones between mineralised and non-mineralised rock and moderate chargeability anomalies broadly coincide with mineralised outcrop.

During the June Quarter considerable effort was spent re-interpreting all available survey data collected at Fenix over the past 18 months, to optimise the final drill site selection. Highly qualified and experienced local geologists have evaluated all mapping, sampling, geophysics, Stage 1 drilling results and structural geology in order to prepare the Stage 2 drilling programme, which commenced at the Matilda Prospect on 20 July 2007. In total, around 2,500 metres of RC drilling will be carried out at Fenix with the aim of defining a preliminary shallow resource estimate over the vein and “mantos” systems. It is expected that the mineralisation will support early-stage development, with feed perhaps being supplemented from the nearby El Fraile Project to the west. The new drill sites are shown as RCD 10-26 in the Map above, and as RCD 27-28 at Matilda in the plan below. Fig 3 One deep diamond hole drilled to 300 metres depth (RCD 20) will test for sulphide mineralisation in the Punta del Cobre Formation. This is the productive horizon for copper/molybdenum at the large Candelaria and Carola mines, 40 km to the north.

The recent geological interpretation of the Fenix and nearby El Fraile project areas, showing the major structural elements indicate that similar systems of faults and volcanic calderas are present in major copper discoveries further to the north towards Copiapo. Analytical results from the Fenix Stage 2 drilling are expected to be available mid-to-late August.

El Timon Copper-Gold Project Chile (100%) – (Porphyry Copper- Molybdenum Target) During the June Quarter an information report was produced which includes previous mapping and sampling work carried out by Billiton. The area is considered prospective for large porphyry style deposits, and is located on the fringes of the highly productive Maricunga belt which hosts several large porphyry discoveries.

The El Timon prospect covers an area of alteration visible over 8 km by 3 km. The alteration system is very complex with three separate styles of alteration present. Geological evidence suggests there could be epithermal gold present in the upper part of the system. 11 samples were taken recently and analysed at the Geolaquim Laboratories in Copiapo (ISO 9001: 2000) with the results presented on the Map above. The samples are anomalous in copper and molybdenum indicating the possible presence of a polymetallic porphyry deposit.

A team of 3 geologists participated in the recent study which involved further sampling of alteration zones, satellite image interpretation and petrographical analysis to establish the existence of relict sulphides and other alteration minerals. Also, using structural interpretation, high priority target areas were defined. It was recommended to initially carry out a detailed geophysical magnetic survey with the objective of determining the thickness of the leached alteration zones, the geometry of the intrusives at depth, and delineate faults which control the mineralisation. This would then be followed up with intensive geochemical grid sampling and further petrographical analysis. Rey intends to carry out this work in the September/December quarters 2007, with a view to add further value prior to seeking joint venture proposals.

Humitos Copper-Gold Project Chile (100%) – (Porphyry Copper-Gold Style) The Humitos prospect is located within a very important major mining zone, close to “Chimberos” silver mine, “Tres Puntas” with copper, silver and gold mineralisation. Twelve kilometres to the north lies the new Inca de Oro porphyry copper and gold discovery by Codelco (See Map below), which has 350 million tonnes grading around 0.7% Cu and 0.4 g/t gold. The prospect is located in the intersection of several regional structures, trending N20˚E and N20˚ and which control the emplacement of the intrusives, hydrothermal breccias and the late-stage hydrothermal alteration veins. The stratigraphic sequences that make up the bulk of Humitos mostly consist of siliceous breccias with cavities partially filled with limonites, altered andesites, andesitic porphyries and diorites mainly to the east side of the property.

Kennecott drilled five widely spaced RC holes around the base of Sierra Humitos during the 1980s, some of which ended in sulphide mineralisation. During the March Quarter Rey initiated sampling of the drill chips and outcrop from surrounding old mines, and a report was compiled in the June Quarter using all available data collected by Rey and previous operators. Structural geological studies were also carried out by a highly experienced geologist, who worked previously with Kennecott.

In the June Quarter a geological report was completed which included a compilation of previous work carried out and results from new sample analysis on RC drill cuttings previously obtained by Kennecott. The results were positive in some areas. It was concluded that there intensely leached areas with weak pyrite mineralisation, indicating the halo of a porphyry system where copper has been carried to deeper levels to an enrichment area which was not reached by the previous drilling. In the northern sector of the tenements, extensive silica breccia areas have been identified, including a leached zone, indicating a large area of remobilised sulphides. The report recommended the following: detailed geological mapping at a scale of 1:1000 in order to distinguish zones of different alteration types, and to map the pyrite distribution with the objective of defining a pyritic halo, typical of porphyry deposits; conduct a detailed magnetic survey mainly to map the depth of the leaching and the lithocap, and; initiate 5,000 metres of drilling based on the interpretation of the mapping and geophysics. It is likely, given the depth of weathering that the average drilling depth would be around 500 metres. Rey intends to initiate this exploration programme in the September and December quarters of 2007. There is a lot of renewed interest in the area following Codelco’s major discovery which was located at a depth of around 300 metres below surface, underlying a thick sequence of alluvials. Rey has already been approached by several interested parties for joint venture participation in Humitos.

El Fraile Copper Project Chile – (Rey Evaluating for Acquisition) The mineralisation is in veins striking parallel to the Elisa de Bordos Fault (N50º E). Copper ore consists of atacamite, chrisocole and chalcocite in a gangue of mainly calcite and iron oxides. 50 samples were taken over 3 zones: El Fraile, Sacramento and Cachiyuyo and analysed for copper at the Geolaquim laboratory in Copiapo (ISO 9001 : 2000). Rey is planning to drill 4 RC holes during the Fenix Stage 2 campaign in July 2007 to investigate mineralisation at depth. This will occur on completion of a Heads of Agreement with the owner which is currently being finalized.

Claudia Project Chile (100%) – (Copper – Silver Vein Style) Limited reconnaissance mapping was carried out in areas away from the old silver mine workings in February 2007. In the June Quarter, further follow-up mapping and sampling was completed over 8 days. Twelve samples were collected and analysed at the Geolaquim Laboratories in Copiapo (ISO 9001 : 2000). Average grades were 1.25% Cu and 21g/t silver. While the copper grades were reasonable, the mineralisation in the samples were sourced from very narrow veins. The silver grades were disappointing. Given the difficult access to the property, Rey intends to reduce its 1,300 hectare exploration concession and seek out a local operator to mine around the old workings.

Julita Project Chile (Rey 100%) – (Copper – Gold Vein Style) This prospect is characterized by vein type copper mineralisation in a granodiorite intrusive. The total outcrop of the vein is around 650 m long. Several old workings exist in this vein including one adit of 71 m long located in the bottom of a hill. The mineralisation occurs mainly as relicts of copper sulphides, pyrite and chalcopyrite. In the June Quarter 9 samples were collected and analysed at the Geolaquim Laboratories in Copiapo (ISO 9001 : 2000). Average grades were 0.75% Cu and 8g/t silver. Given that the mineralisation lies in one narrow vein (average width 1.5 metres), and the access to the property is difficult, the project is only suitable small-scale mining, and therefore will be sold.

Kechua Gold Project Peru (Rey 100%) – (Disseminated Epithermal Gold Style) No work was carried out during the Quarter.

Rey continued negotiations with the Traditional Owners to resolve access issues on tenements granted in March 2006. No work was carried out on-ground during the June Quarter. Rey management visited Broome in May 2007 for meetings with the Traditional Owners to explain the Stage 2 exploration programme and finalise the Access Agreement. Issues were resolved and Rey Resources Ltd and the Kimberley Land Council Aboriginal Corporation (KLC) have signed a Native Title and Heritage Protection Agreement covering 11 mineral exploration licences in the Canning Basin WA. The Agreement was signed by both parties on 29 June 2007 and a Heritage Clearance Survey is currently being planned for late July. With the objections lifted, the Agreement now paves the way for the company to carry out its Stage 2 shallow coal drilling programme shown in the Map above. It is expected that the 6,000 metre scout drilling programme will commence in August 2007 with the objective of testing quality and thickness of shallow coal seams on 8 lines over a strike length of 150 kilometres. In addition a more intensive programme is being planned in the Duchess – Paradise area. Here previous drilling carried in the 1970s outlined relatively shallow sequences of good quality steaming coal. During the June Quarter work continued in planning for Stage 2 exploration, including drilling contractors evaluation and consultants reviews.

Liveringa Coal /Gas Project and Petroleum Licence Applications (Rey 100%) The Gujarat Agreement in respect of the two permits EP10/04-5 and EP11/04-5, shown in the Map above was signed on 26

th September 2006 with Gujarat NRE Resources Ltd, and the final Participation and Joint Operating Agreements

were finalised in July and the Agreements will, subject to granting of the petroleum leases will result in Gujarat NRE Resources Ltd paying $250,000 to Rey and spending $4.85 million over 5 years to earn a 90% interest in the two tenements. Rey will retain a 10% interest in the permits until the grant of a petroleum production licence, after which all parties will contribute according to their interest. Representatives from Gujarat NRE Resources also attended the May 2007 meeting in Broome and the final Native Title and Heritage Protection Agreement covering the two petroleum permit applications was signed by the 3

parties in July. The Agreement and the grant of the permits is subject to work programme and clearance approval being granted by the Traditional Owners.

Myroodah Uranium Tenements (Rey 100%)

During the June Quarter, Rey has identified a uranium prospect within its Liveringa Coal Leases, approximately 250 km east of Derby in WA (see Map above). The Ashton Joint Venture first identified the prospect in the 1978 when a series of radiometric anomalies showed up in an airborne geophysical survey aimed at detecting kimberlite pipes. The anomalies are broadly oval in outline, corresponding to a horizon within the Triassic sequence in the Myroodah Syncline. Ground follow-up of airborne scintillometer traverses and geochemical sampling confirmed the anomalous radioactivity.

In the area of the anomalies, rocks in the Triassic Erskine Sandstone overlie the Blina Shale in the core of the Myroodah Syncline. The anomalies predominantly occur at the eastern end of the syncline, within Rey’s E04/1382 tenement. The anomalies extend outside Rey’s area into an adjoining tenement where drilling by CRA Exploration Pty Ltd (CRAE) during the 1970s showed significant gamma horizons that could be correlated from hole to hole with approximate equivalent grades of U3O8 for the 1 m to 3 m width intersections calculated at grades of 0.1 kg/t to 0.48 kg/t. Down-hole geophysical logging of the drill holes showed that the anomalous radioactivity is associated with both the Erskine Sandstone and the Blina Shale and is strongest at the contact between the two units and may represent

y

the upper limb of a roll front deposit or the result of uranium fixing on the Blina Shale interface from ground water in the totally oxidised overlying Erskine Sandstone.

Two holes drilled within Rey’s E04/1382 tenement intersected the mineralised zone at shallow depths. Rey’s area covers the eastern half of the Myroodah Syncline outcrop zone of the mineralised formation boundary. There are numerous radiometric anomalies and a 10 km or more strike length of the potentially mineralised formation zone.

Apart from the two holes drilled in Rey’s tenement by CRAE in 1979, the north eastern, eastern and south-eastern sectors of the Myroodah Syncline have not been tested by drilling. Rey has recently applied for 8 new tenements with similar geological characteristics to the north of the existing coal leases. In the short term the Company will consolidate its ground position and examine all available airborne radiometric data covering the area.

Eradu Coal Project (Rey 100%) No work was carried out in the June Quarter.
