1. ANDY WELL GOLD PROJECT

Activity during the Quarter included:

Underground mining and development of the Wilber Lode orebody, including mining and stockpiling of underground development ore from horizontal ore drives.

Completion of construction and commissioning of the gravity and CIP/CIL processing plant culminating in the first gold pour on 4 August 2013.

Gold production from stockpiled open pit ore and underground development ore. Completion of construction and commissioning of remaining site infrastructure.

1.1. Safety

No serious work-related injuries were experienced during construction of the processing plant and infrastructure or open pit mining since commencing work on site on 15 November 2012. Unfortunately, the project incurred its first Lost Time Injury on 8 September 2013 when a surface exploration diamond driller damaged his ankle while unscrewing a drill rod. A renewed focus on safety risk analysis has been instigated.

1.2. Underground Mining and Development

Underground development advanced with 1,530 metres completed during the Quarter down to the 1350 level, approximately 130 metres below surface. A total of 1,887 metres has now been developed underground with development of horizontal ore drives completed on the 1415 and 1400 levels and commenced on the 1385 and 1370 levels. Access ramps from the northern decline to the southern part of the mine have commenced on the 1370 and 1355 levels. Ventilation and escapeways were installed prior to the start of initial stoping between the 1400 and 1415 levels at the end of September. Initial stoping commenced at the end of September extracting ore from the northern end of the Wilber lode on the1400 level, approximately 40 metres below the base of the Stage 1 open pit. Progress developing the underground mine access and infrastructure continues ahead of schedule. During the Quarter, underground development advance exceeded the budget by 22%. Table 1.

1.3. Construction and Commissioning During the Quarter, the construction and commission of the gravity and CIP/CIL processing plant was completed with practical completion achieved on 29 July 2013. This milestone was achieved by the EPC contractor, GR Engineering Services Limited, under budget and ahead of schedule.

1.4. Processing and Gold Production Gold production commenced with the first gold pour on 4 August 2013, following the completion of construction and commissioning of the gravity and CIP/CIL processing plant. The processing plant was ramped up to a production rate of 25 tonnes per hour by 10 August 2013 using low grade material (<1g/t) blended with stockpiled open pit ore and underground development ore. This rate is in excess of the 20 tonnes per hour indicated by the original Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS). A total of 4,877 ounces was produced during August treating 15,569 tonnes at a head grade of 10.1g/t. September represented the first full month of processing high-grade ore from the Wilber Lode, from a blend of stockpiled open pit ore and underground development ore. A total of 19,822 tonnes of ore were processed at an average head grade of 14 g/t, producing a total of 8,614 ounces of gold. A further 215 ounces was added into gold in circuit (GIC). Total gold recovery for the month of September averaged 99.1%, estimated using the on-site PAL (pulverising and leaching) machine for cyanide-recoverable gold. This included approximately 68% recovered from the gravity circuit.

To date, the anticipated gold endowment from both open pit and underground sources has been extracted in line with Reserves. The blend will be further supplemented with high-grade stoping ore from October onwards.

1.5. Andy Well Resources and Reserve Update During the Quarter, an updated Resource and Reserve Statement for the Andy Well Project was compiled and released to the ASX. This updated statement was essentially unchanged from previous reported totals for both the Wilber and Judy Lodes however, at Wilber, the in-situ Resource and Reserve was depleted due to mining of the Stage 1 open pit. This material was retained as Run of Mine stockpiles. The updated Resource Statement is presented below. Technical details of the Resource Statement are supplied in the ASX release dated 27 September 2013.

The initial underground schedule incorporates some Inferred Resource inventory adjacent to the planned underground workings which increases the proposed recoverable gold over the Life of Mine above these Reserve figures.

1.6. Andy Well Exploration The completion of construction and commencement of mining operations during the Quarter saw the recommencement of near-mine exploration drilling at Andy Well. During the drilling hiatus due to construction, all exploration datasets were compiled and re-interpreted in light of observations made from the mining of the Wilber Lode. This exercise resulted in the identification of a series of sub-parallel targets (Figure 4). Drilling during the Quarter was primarily focussed on the Judy South Extension, first pass Reverse Circulation (RC) drill testing of the Suzie Zone, and deeper diamond drilling beneath the existing Judy South Resource area. All results from this drilling received during the Quarter are summarised in the Appendices. Judy Zone At the Judy South Extension target, a total of 8 RC holes for 1,856m were completed targeting the strike potential on the southern side of the dolerite dyke that truncates the Judy Resource. While this drilling was successful in intersecting the Judy structure, along with occasional quartz veining, assay results were generally disappointing, with only 2 minor intervals returned above 1g/t:

MNRC221 – 1m @ 2.5g/t from 66-67m MNRC222 – 1m @ 2.1g/t from 35-36m

With the failure to delineate significant mineralisation with this drilling, no further work is planned at the Judy South Extension target at this stage. Diamond drilling commenced during the Quarter on testing the depth extensions to the high grade Judy South Resource. Drilling was designed to test mineralisation to a depth of approximately 400 metres below surface, and consisted of RC pre-collars to a total depth of around 200 metres, with HQ diamond tails to intersect the target zone. At the end of the Quarter, 14 RC pre-collars were completed for a total of 3,040 metres, as well as 6 HQ diamond tails for a total of 1,340.8 metres. All 6 diamond tails were successful in intersecting the Judy structure and quartz vein, with widths varying between 0.1 and 0.9m. No assays had been received as at the end of the Quarter. All results from drilling at the Judy Zone during the Quarter are summarised in Appendix A. Locations of all holes drilled at Judy during the Quarter are illustrated in Figure 6. Suzie Zone At the Suzie target, a total of 17 holes for 2,907 metres of RC drilling were completed. This drilling was successful in defining a zone of discrete shearing within high-magnesium basalts and intrusive porphyries, and a mineralised quartz vein similar to the nearby Wilber and Judy Zones (see Figure 5). Drilling was successful in defining the structure and quartz vein over a strike length of approximately 250 metres, and to a depth of 150 metres below surface. Mineralisation is parallel to the Wilber and Judy trends, but dips slightly shallower at approximately 65 degrees to the west. The drilling completed during the Quarter had not closed off the mineralised zone to the north nor at depth. During the Quarter, assays were returned for 6 of the 17 holes. Significant intercepts returned include:

MNRC227 – 1m @ 12.9g/t from 102-103m MNRC228 – 2m @ 14.8g/t from 47-49m, including 1m @ 22.9g/t

All results from drilling at the Suzie Zone during the Quarter are summarised in Appendix B. Locations of all holes drilled at Suzie during the Quarter are illustrated below in Figure 7.

2. EXPLORATION AND NEW BUSINESS Doray has an exploration tenement portfolio covering a total of approximately 4,000km2 in both Western Australia and South Australia. In the northern Murchison Region of WA, Doray is actively exploring for gold mineralisation which has the potential to provide additional near-term development opportunities for its Andy Well gold operations while continuing to explore for large, stand-alone development opportunities over its entire exploration portfolio in WA and SA. 2.1. Northern Murchison Region

Side Well (Doray 80%) Target generation following the completion of the airborne electro-magnetic (“EM”) survey has been ongoing during the Quarter. Abbotts (Doray 80%) Final targeting following the completion of the mapping and regional airborne EM survey has been ongoing with drill testing anticipated for the first Quarter of calendar year 2014. Abbotts West and Meeka East (Caravel Project Acquisition, Doray 100%) A full review of the data package received as part of the acquisition of these projects from Caravel Minerals Limited is nearing completion with associated targets being defined. Numerous areas within both projects have been identified as requiring ground truthing with the potential for follow-up work. In addition, areas that have previously gone untested, particularly those under shallow hard-pan cover will be investigated with drilling anticipated to commence in the first half of 2014.

2.2. Central Gawler, South Australia Nuckulla Hill (Doray 100%) A programme of RC and aircore drilling has been completed at Nuckulla Hill. The drilling was designed to follow up a number of historic drill results at the Bimba Prospect, and was partially funded by the South Australian Government (DMITRE) under the PACE 2012 discovery drilling initiative. The aircore drilling provided valuable information on regolith depth and characteristics and tested extensions (and possible major splays) to the main Yarlbrinda Shear Zone immediately north of Bimba. Drilling intercepted weathered, variably altered granitic basement beneath up to 6 metres of transported gravels, clay and calcrete. RC drilling at the Bimba prospect, to test for possible extensions to previously identified mineralisation, confirmed the continuity of a mineralised structure, however gold grades were sub-economic with a best intercept in BIRC006 of 28m @ 0.58 g/t Au from 144m (including 16m @ 0.72 g/t Au from 156m). A peak assay value of 1m @ 1.05 g/t Au from 55m was returned from BIRC001. RC drilling (BIRC004 and BIRC005) of a lead in aircore anomaly, coincident with a structure identified in magnetics west of Bimba, returned best results of 4m @ 0.16 g/t Au from 44m and 4m @ 0.16 g/t Au from 76m in hole BIRC004. Holes BIRC004 and BIRC005 confirmed trace amounts of remobilised gold at weathering horizons, as well as anomalous gold in fresh rock. No results were considered to be of economic significance at this stage, given the remote location of the project.

A fine fraction soil geochemical programme is currently ongoing to the north and south of the Bimba prospect area. It is anticipated that this work will be completed by the end of December 2013. Preliminary results from the programme indicate that the sample medium and assay methodology being used is generating anomalies of significance in the area. These anomalies will be followed up and in-filled at the completion of the regional programme.

About Doray Minerals Limited Doray Minerals Limited (ASX: DRM) is Australia's newest high-grade/low-cost gold producer from the high-grade Andy Well Gold Project in the northern Murchison region of Western Australia. Doray has a strategic portfolio of gold exploration properties within WA and South Australia and each presents multiple discovery opportunities. The Company's Board and management team has expertise in discovery, development and production. About the Andy Well Gold Project Doray’s 100%-owned Andy Well Gold Project is located approximately 45km north of Meekatharra, in Western Australia’s northern Murchison region. In March 2010, Doray announced the discovery of the very high-grade “Wilber Lode” gold deposit, adjacent to the Great Northern Highway. Since announcing a maiden high-grade JORC-compliant gold Mineral Resource for the Wilber Lode in February 2011, the Company has announced subsequent increases to the Wilber Lode Resource in December 2011 and again in March 2012. During 2012, Doray announced the maiden high-grade open pit and underground Mining Reserve for the project, completed a positive Bankable Feasibility Study, made a formal decision to mine, increased its ownership of the project to 100%, secured a project finance facility from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia and completed a capital raising to fund all operating, exploration and corporate costs prior to first gold production. Mining and site works commenced in November 2012 with first gold production in August 2013, approximately 3.5 years after the initial discovery. In March 2013 Doray announced a maiden high-grade JORC-compliant gold Mineral Resource for the Judy Lode, a second high-grade gold deposit within the project, increasing the overall Andy Well Project resource inventory by 30%.
