The Appendix 5B Report for this quarter is an integral part of this summary and is attached.
Quarter Ending June 30, 2006 - Summary of Activities and Expenditures
During the quarter ended 30th June 2006 Argosy reviewed a number of base and precious metal opportunities located mostly in southern Africa.
Aeroquest Limited was contracted to conduct a helicopter-borne AeroTEM II geophysical survey over the Sawmill Bay Prospect area as well as the Fish Creek, Brazil Lake and Little Panache claims areas. This survey, consisting of some 320 line kilometers, was completed in late July. Results, not available as yet, will be reported next Quarter.
Argosy commissioned an IP geophysical survey that was to be carried out across the Sawmill Bay prospect area at Lac Panache, Ontario, Canada. Although the survey was expected to commence during the Quarter, the short supply of line cutters in the area has resulted in a substantial delay.
Summary of Expenditures

Legal, Administrative, Consultants | $ 5,636 |
Drilling and Assessment | 5,492 |
Project Option Fees | 40,000 |
| $ 51,128 |
LAC PANACHE – Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Platinum Group Metals, Canada
Aeroquest Limited completed a helicopter-borne AeroTEM II geophysical survey over the Sawmill Bay Prospect area as well as the Fish Creek, Brazil Lake and Little Panache claims areas. This survey, including both helicopter EM and magnetics, consisted of some 320 line kilometers. Flying was completed in late July and results will be reported next Quarter.

FISH CREEK – Nickel, Copper, Cobalt, Gold, Platinum Group Metals, Canada
The Fish Creek property is positioned over a possible southwest extension of the “Mystery Offset Dike” exposed some 10 km to the northeast. The Mystery Offset Dike, currently being explored by Crowflight Minerals Inc., is described as being an extension of the Worthington Offset Dike on which Inco’s Totten deposit is located. Offsets are dike-like bodies of quartz diorite that has been interpreted as infilling major fracture zones. These dikes are known to occur both radiating from and concentric to the Sudbury Igneous Complex.
7
The Aeroquest Limited AeroTEM II helicopter survey, completed in late July, flew both of the Fish Creek blocks. Results, not available as yet, will be reported in the next Quarter. Optimised for the discovery of possible massive sulphides, the EM system will help prioritise areas for follow-up work.

INVESTIGATION OF NEW OPPORTUNITIES
Argosy continues to evaluate other business opportunities. Those investigated this Quarter were several opportunities in southern Africa (manganese, copper, iron and zinc) and a gold project in Indonesia.
The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by George Katchan, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. George Katchan is a full-time employee of Argosy Minerals Inc. George Katchan has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. George Katchan consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
