ASX : AUZ 23 January 2014

Australian Mines Limited ("Australian Mines" or "the Company") is pleased to provide shareholders its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2013.
During this quarter, Australian Mines diligently continued carrying out its corporate objective (as announced on 1 August 2013) to acquire advanced projects outside of Nigeria. The Company has conducted varying levels of due diligence across a number of projects in various jurisdictions and at the time of this report, was in discussions with several groups regarding the potential for project acquisition or joint venture.
As part of its continued effort to reduce costs, Managing Director Benjamin Bell has elected to take a significant pay reduction to $200,000 per annum plus superannuation. Non-executive Directors salaries have also been reduced by almost one-third. This is a total saving of over
$185,000 per annum. Australian Mines remains focused on delivering value to its shareholders and the continued cost reduction strategies implemented by the Company during the last six months have significantly decreased Australian Mines' administration and overheads costs.
The Company remains in a strong financial position with approximately $2.1 million cash in the bank and no debt as at 31 December 2013.

Background of Corporate Review

As announced by the Company on 1 August 2013, Australian Mines suspended its early-stage West African gold exploration activities in favour of acquiring more advanced projects in other mining friendly jurisdictions, which the Company can develop into a profitable mining operation in the medium-term.
Australian Mines continues to wind down its activities in Nigeria including closing its field operations office in Abuja and reducing the number of tenements held by the Company. It is the Company's aim to only hold the key exploration licences of Yargarma, Kasele, Tsauni and Kwali, which Australian Mines will continue to maintain in good standing in anticipation of a positive turnaround in market sentiment for greenfields exploration projects in the longer term.
