High grade mineralisation from surface at Boda

==> picture [20 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling to test for shallow extensions to the high-grade breccia first identified by KSDD007, intersected significant gold and copper grades from surface with substantial assay results of:

KSRC043 31m grading 2.94g/t Au, 0.97% Cu from surface incl 9m grading 9.43g/t Au, 2.65% Cu from surface

KSRC042 14m grading 0.40g/t Au, 0.11% Cu from 74m and 226m grading 0.35g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 108m incl 10m grading 0.72g/t Au, 0.40% Cu from 157m also 9m grading 0.73g/t Au, 0.50% Cu from 290m

Previously advised RC drill hole (KSRC038), which ended in mineralisation, was diamond core tailed (KSRC038D) to also test for up-dip and strike continuation of the high-grade breccia. The hole intersected a sulphide cemented breccia within a broad zone of goldcopper porphyry mineralisation with significant assay results of:

KSRC038D 711m grading 0.36g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 118m incl 17m grading 0.92g/t Au, 0.03% Cu from 302m also 12m grading 1.93g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 341m also 17m grading 0.91g/t Au, 0.43% Cu from 501m also 1m grading 15.2g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 756m

==> picture [20 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

A deep diamond core hole (KSDD034) with a wedge hole (KSDD034W2), tested down-dip of the high-grade breccia. KSDD034W2 intersected a possible feeder structure and conduit to the breccia with significant assay results of:

KSDD034W2 604m grading 0.13g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 1,146m incl 61m grading 0.10g/t Au, 0.26% Cu from 1,147m incl 8m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.61% Cu from 1,157m also 32m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 1,249m

These recent drilling results indicate the high-grade sulphide cemented breccia at Boda has a vertical extension of at least 800 metres, strikes northwest and dips sub-vertically to steeply to the northeast. Ongoing drilling will continue to define its dimensions.

Results were also received from diamond core drill hole KSDD033, testing the southern extensions to the mineralisation at Boda Two. The drill hole defined a zone of extensive gold-copper porphyry mineralisation, with significant intercepts of:

KSDD033 995m grading 0.19g/t Au, 0.12% Cu from 322m

Drilling continues at Boda, Boda Two, Boda Three and Kaiser-Duke utilising two diamond core rigs and one high-capacity RC rig onsite, testing extensions and adding definition to the identified mineralised systems.

Alkane Resources Limited (ASX: ALK) is please to announce the intersection of further high-grade mineralisation at the Company’s Boda Prospect in Central New South Wales. Boda is a landmark porphyry gold-copper system, within the Northern Molong Porphyry Project, which the Company believes has the potential to be a large, tier one gold-copper project.

Alkane also operates the nearby Tomingley Gold Operations (‘TGO’) and is working towards its stated ambition of becoming Australia’s next multi-mine gold producer.

Alkane Managing Director, Nic Earner, said: “The high-grade breccia zone at surface not only further emphasises the large vertical depth of the system, but also gives rise to considering open cut as a potential mining method at Boda.

“We’re continuing our exploration program across the Porphyry Project, and we are planning a further 60,000 metres of drilling over the coming financial year. This substantial exploration program is designed to continue defining the internal high-grade zones within the extensive lowgrade mineralised envelopes at Boda, Boda Two and Kaiser prospects, as well as testing the corridor between the Boda and Kaiser targets.

“The drilling will also help us to identify further targets to contribute to the geological and structural understanding of the 15km intrusive corridor that extends from Boda South to Finns Crossing.”

Alkane Resources Ltd – Northern Molong Porphyry Drilling – 16 August 2021

Northern Molong Porphyry Project (NMPP) Alkane Resources Ltd 100%

==> picture [57 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

The Project is located at the northern end of the Molong Volcanic Belt within the Macquarie Arc, in central west NSW, and is considered highly prospective for large scale porphyry and epithermal gold-copper deposits.

Exploration in the NMPP has identified five discrete magnetic/intrusive complexes – Kaiser, Boda, Comobella, Driell Creek and Finns Crossing – within a 15km northwest trending corridor. The corridor is defined by monzonite intrusives, extensive alteration and widespread, low-grade, gold-copper mineralisation.

==> picture [466 x 402] intentionally omitted <==

A major RC and diamond core drilling program commenced in July 2020 and was designed to test the dimensions and extensions to the large low-grade mineralised envelope as well as any internal high-grade zones at Boda. In addition, the drilling is testing other known gold-copper mineralisation occurrences and co-incident IP anomalies within the 15km monzonite intrusive corridor that extends from Boda to Finns Crossing.

Assays received from the current drilling program at Boda and Boda Two comprising seven RC drill holes including two pre-collars and six diamond core holes including two daughter holes for a total of 9,551 metres testing the strike and depth extensions of the gold-copper porphyry mineralisation at the Boda (discovery hole KSDD003 - 502m @ 0.48g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 211 metres; ASX Announcement 9 September 2019 ) and Boda Two (KSDD022 - 292m @ 0.66g/t Au from 867 metres; ASX Announcement 11 November 2020 ).

Boda Prospect

The Boda gold-copper porphyry system appears to be a series of monzodiorite near vertical intrusive related breccias hosted within a thick sequence of near flat lying intermediate lavas. These magmatic breccias tend to hydrothermal in nature with a matrix comprising of calcite-quartz ± actinolite ± magnetite ± chalcopyrite ± pyrite zoning to a sulphide dominant cement (chalcopyrite ± pyrite) towards their centres. Truncating the breccias are late-mineral monzonite intrusives associated with quartz + chalcopyrite veining and post-mineral dolerite and dacitic dykes.

Recent drilling is focused on testing the vertical extensions to the sulphide cemented breccia intersected initially by KSDD007 (96.8m grading 3.97g/t Au, 1.52% Cu from 768 metres - ASX Announcement 23 March 2020). Drill hole assays for four RC holes were received and define a high-grade zone of goldcopper with anomalous silver mineralisation (up to 17g/t Ag), intersected from surface with significant assay results of:

KSRC043 31m grading 2.94g/t Au, 0.97% Cu from surface incl 9m grading 9.43g/t Au, 2.65% Cu, 8g/t Ag from surface KSRC042 14m grading 0.40g/t Au, 0.11% Cu from 74m and 226m grading 0.35g/t Au, 0.15% Cu from 108m incl 10m grading 0.72g/t Au, 0.40% Cu from 157m also 26m grading 0.50g/t Au, 0.32% Cu from 273m incl 9m grading 0.73g/t Au, 0.50% Cu from 290m and 18m grading 0.16g/t Au, 0.12% Cu from 450m to end of hole

Previously announced RC hole, KSRC038, ended in mineralisation at 498m (404m grading 0.35g/t Au, 0.07% Cu from 94 metres - ASX Announcement 9 November 2020) and was recently extended with a diamond core tail, KSRC038D, to a depth of 945.8 metres. The core intersected an up-dip extension to the sulphide breccia from 501 metres with significant intercepts of:

KSRC038D 711m grading 0.36g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 118m incl 17m grading 0.92g/t Au, 0.03% Cu from 302m (announced RC assays) also 12m grading 1.93g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 341m (announced RC assays) also 17m grading 0.91g/t Au, 0.43% Cu from 501m (breccia in core) also 1m grading 15.2g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 756m

To test the deeper extensions to the sulphide cemented breccia, diamond hole KSDD034 was completed testing the zone approximately 500 metres below previous drilling intercepts. The hole intersected deep level propylitic porphyry alteration and strong pyrite mineralisation with only small patchy gold-copper grades. A daughter hole, KSDD034W2, was completed after a failed first attempt (KSDD034W1 – not sampled), transecting approximately halfway between the known sulphide cemented breccia zone and the parent drill hole KSDD034. The wedge hole intersected a zone of intense deformation and alteration from 1,147 metres, interpreted as a possible conduit and feeder structure to the sulphide cemented breccia. KSDD034W2 has significant gold-copper intercepts with anomalous silver of:

KSDD034W2 604m grading 0.13g/t Au, 0.14% Cu from 1,146m incl 61m grading 0.10g/t Au, 0.26% Cu from 1,147m (structure) incl 8m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.61% Cu, 10g/t Ag from 1,157m (structure) also 32m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 1,249m also 106m grading 0.16g/t Au, 0.16% Cu from 1,295m also 31m grading 0.15g/t Au, 0.17% Cu from 1,477m also 14m grading 0.25g/t Au, 0.18% Cu, 19ppm Mo from 1,583m also 21m grading 0.20g/t Au, 0.15% Cu, 10ppm Mo from 1,639m

Core photographs of KSDD034W2 depict the significant shear zone of approximately 30 metres true thickness comprising of biotite-silica altered country rock with silica-chalcopyrite blebby veins within the fabric. Post to late-mineral dacitic and monzonite dykes have intruded the mineralised structure positioned approximately 200 metres vertically below the sulphide cemented breccia intersected by KSDD031. This structure is interpreted to be a root or feeder structure to the sulphide cemented breccia.

KSDD034W2 – Biotite-silica shear zone with silica-chalcopyrite hydrothermal veins and blebs and intruded by late-mineral monzonites – grading 61m at 0.10g/t Au, 0.26% Cu from 1,147m.

The sulphide cemented breccia intersected by KSRC038D is shown below and demonstrates a crackle texture indicative of a lateral or distal position within the breccia itself. The breccia appears to zone from pyrite dominant to a chalcopyrite dominant core with increasing gold-copper grades associated with higher fluid flows as observed from breccia textures changing from crackle to more jigsaw in character. Similar higher energy breccia textures have been recently observed in KSDD040 (currently being sampled) including strong chalcopyrite mineralisation over approximately 40 metres down hole, see KSDD040 drill trace on the KSDD034W2 drill section.

KSRC038D – Chalcopyrite-pyrite-magnetite-calcite cemented crackle breccia of calc-potassic altered volcanics – 17m grading 0.91g/t Au, 0.43% Cu from 501m.

The sulphide cemented breccia mineralisation has been tested over 800 metres vertically from the mineralised conduit zone intersected in KSDD034W2 to the shallowest intercept in KSRC043. The breccia mineralisation is open along strike to the northwest, dipping sub-vertically to steeply to the northeast. RC and diamond core drilling is ongoing, testing both along strike and its shallow extensions up-dip. Downhole electromagnetic surveying is planned for trial in August to test for a conductive response from the sulphide cemented breccia to aid targeting of other sulphide cemented breccias.

Boda Two Prospect

An electrical geophysics survey (3D-IP) previous completed over a 6km long north-south target corridor of Boda volcanic stratigraphy identified a strongly conductive target at the Boda Two prospect (ASX Announcement 19 May 2020). The anomaly was drill tested with KSDD022 intersecting strong pyrite mineralisation with impressive gold grades of 292m @ 0.66g/t Au from 867 metres ( ASX Announcement 11 November 2020 ).

Assay results have been received for KSDD033 - a diamond core drill hole testing the southern extensions to the Boda Two prospect and approximately 300 metres below KSDD021 (KSDD021 – 670.8m @ 0.14g/t Au, 0.10% Cu from 311 metres to end of hole; ASX Announcement 9 September 2019 ) with significant results of:

KSDD033 995m grading 0.19g/t Au, 0.12% Cu from 322m incl 8m grading 1.14g/t Au, 0.30% Cu from 894m also 14m grading 0.49g/t Au, 0.23% Cu from 968m also 30m grading 0.39g/t Au, 0.20% Cu from 1052m also 7m grading 0.55g/t Au, 0.38% Cu from 1243m and 21m grading 0.36g/t Au, 0.11% Cu from 1517m

KSDD033 intersected a pervasive zone of calc-potassic altered volcanics with extensive low-grade goldcopper mineralisation associated with disseminated pyrite ± chalcopyrite ± bornite. The drill hole has increased both the width and grade of the zone of gold-copper mineralisation intersected by KSDD021 300 metres vertically below and enhanced the potential for higher grade zones.

The drilling to date at Boda Two has identified an extensive zone of low-grade gold-copper porphyry mineralisation with a gold enriched pyrite zone positioned along its northeast shoulder. Further drilling

Alkane Resources Ltd – Northern Molong Porphyry Drilling – 16 August 2021

is underway at Boda Two to continue to define the size and scope of gold-copper mineralisation and any internal high-grade zones as being demonstrated at Boda.

Other drill hole results being reported include diamond core drill hole KSDD025 drilled into the propylitic shoulder separating Boda and Boda Two mineralisation zones. Four RC drill holes completed at Boda comprising of two pre-collar drill holes, KSDD020 and KSDD026, that were abandoned due to down hole deviation and two scout RC drill holes, KSRC040 and KSRC041, likely collared west of the Boda mineralisation. One RC drill hole, KSRC039, targeting a magnetic lineament west of Boda Two intersected strong potassic and pyrite alteration that is likely a pyrite shell to the Boda Two gold-copper mineralisation. Results for these five drill holes are reported in Table 1.

Assay results are now all reported from the initial 30,000 metres drilling program and the Company has commenced a program with 60,000 metres of drilling over the next 12 months. This substantial exploration program is designed to continue to define the internal high grade zones within the extensive low-grade mineralised envelopes at Boda, Boda Two and Kaiser prospects, as well as test the corridor between the Boda and Kaiser targets. Additionally, the drilling will continue to work up other targets to contribute to the geological and structural understanding of the 15km intrusive corridor that extends from Boda South to Finns Crossing.

ABOUT ALKANE ‐ www.alkane.com.auASX: ALK

Alkane Resources is poised to become Australia’s next multi-mine gold producer.

The Company’s current gold production is from the Tomingley Gold Operations in Central West New South Wales, where it has been operating since 2014 and is currently expediting a development pathway to extend the mine’s life beyond 2030.

Alkane has an enviable exploration track record and controls several highly prospective gold and copper tenements. Its most advanced exploration projects are in the tenement area between Tomingley and Peak Hill, which have the potential to provide additional ore for Tomingley’s operations.

Alkane’s exploration success includes the landmark porphyry gold-copper mineralisation discovery at Boda in 2019. With a major drill program ongoing at Boda, Alkane is confident of further consolidating Central West New South Wales’ reputation as a significant gold production region.

Alkane’s gold interests extend throughout Australia, with strategic investments in other gold exploration and aspiring mining companies, including ~19.8% of Genesis Minerals (ASX: GMD) and ~9.7% of Calidus Resources (ASX: CAI).

The following tables are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012) edition requirements for the reporting of exploration results.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 NORTHERN MOLONG PORPHYRY PROJECT – Boda, Boda Two August 2021 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Diamond core drilling was undertaken by Ophir Drilling Pty Ltd

DD sample intervals were defined by geologist during logging to honour geological
boundaries, cut in half by diamond saw, with half core sent to ALS Laboratories

RC drilling was undertaken by Strike Drilling Pty Ltd

RC samples are collected at one metre intervals via a cyclone on the rig. The cyclone
is cleaned regularly to minimise any contamination

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using Alkane protocols as per industry
best practice

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In
cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation
may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Core was laid out in suitably labelled core trays. A core marker (core block) was placed
at the end of each drilled run (nominally 3m) and labelled with the hole number, down
hole depth, length of drill run. Core was aligned and measured by tape, comparing
back to this down hole depth consistent with industry standards. Half core is sampled
with a Corewise automatic core saw.

RC Drilling – the total sample (~20-30kg) is delivered via cyclone into a large plastic
bag which is retained for future use if required. A sub-sample of approximately 1kg is
spear sampled from each plastic bag and composited to make a 3 metres sample
interval. If strong mineralisation is observed by the site geologist this is sampled as a
final 1m interval instead. The 1m intervals forming composite samples assaying ≥0.10
g/t Au or ≥0.10 % Cu are resplit using a cone splitter on the rig into a separate calico at
the time of drilling and re-submitted to the laboratory for re-assay.

Gold was determined by fire assay fusion of a 50g charge with an AAS analytical finish

A multi-element suite was determined using a multi-acid digest with a ICP Atomic
Emission Spectrometry or ICP Mass Spectrometry analytical finish.
Drilling
techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling using 110mm rods 144mm face sampling hammer

Triple tube diamond drilling with PQ3/HQ3 wireline bit producing 83mm diameter (PQ3) and
61.1mm diameter (HQ3) sized orientated core. The wedge holes were completed using NQ3
wireline bit producing 45mm diameter sized orientated core.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.

DD - core loss was identified by drillers and calculated by geologists when logging.
Generally ≥99% was recovered with any loss usually in portions of the oxide zone.

Triple tube coring was used at all times to maximise core recovery with larger diameter
(PQ3) core or RC precollars used in the oxide zones.

RC sample quality is assessed by the sampler by visual approximation of sample
recovery and if the sample is dry, damp or wet.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the
samples.

Sample quality is qualitatively logged

Core drilling completed using HQ triple tube where possible to maximise core recovery.

A high capacity RC rig was used to enable dry samples collected. Drill cyclone is
cleaned between rod changes and after each hole to minimise cross-hole
contamination.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample
bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Each one metre interval is geologically logged for characteristics such as lithology,
weathering, alteration (type, character and intensity), veining (type, character and
intensity) and mineralisation (type, character and volume percentage)

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography

Mostly logging was qualitative with visual estimates of the various characteristics. In
addition, magnetic susceptibility data (quantitative) was collected as an aid for logging

All drill holes were geologically logged into Geobank Mobile, followed by validation
before importing into Alkane’s central Geobank database

All drill holes were logged by qualified and experienced geologists

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged

All drill holes were logged in full
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

Core sawn with half core samples submitted for analysis

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.

Each one metre interval is spear sampled with 3m composite samples collected in a
calico sample bag and forwarded to the laboratory. Where strong mineralisation is
observed by the site geologist, instead of compositing, this is individually sampled
from the cone splitter on the RC rig as a 1 metre interval into a calico bag and
forwarded to the laboratory.

All samples were analysed by ALS Minerals

Gold is determined using a 50g charge fused at approximately 1100°C with alkaline
fluxes, including lead oxide. The resultant prill is dissolved in aqua regia with gold
determined by flame AAS.

Other geochemical elements, samples are digested by near-total mixed acid digest with
each element determined by ICP Atomic Emission Spectrometry or ICP Mass
Spectrometry. RC samples that are re-split are digested by aqua regia with a ICP
Atomic Emission Spectrometry for Cu only

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.

Full QAQC system in place including certified standards and blanks of appropriate
matrix and concentration levels

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Significant historical drilling activity has been conducted within the bounds of EL4022.

BODA PROSPECT: CRA Exploration/Rio Tinto completed a small IP survey and
several reconnaissance RC holes in the Boda Prospect area in 1995. The results
identified sporadic, shallow low-grade intervals of gold mineralisation hosted within a
sequence of monzonites, diorites and intermediate volcanics. Sampling was
performed by collecting spear composites from 3m drill runs, assayed by aqua regia
digest and fire assay-AAS and ICP finishes.
Amax Mining Inc/Woodsreef Mines grid sampled the residual soil profile and analysed
for Cu, Pb and Zn. A coherent +250 ppm Cu soil anomaly was outlined with a strike
length of over 1000m and a maximum of 1.25% Cu, in the -80-mesh sieve fraction.
Grid based rock chip sampling produced up to 5.4% Cu and 42ppm Au.

Within EL6209 records show 14 AC (170m), 78 RC (7591m) and 45 DD holes
(7833m) = 15,594m.

KAISER PROSPECT: Under-reporting of historical exploration drill results from the
Kaiser Prospect is suggested by preliminary metallurgical test work by previous
explorers and is supported by a drill hole (KSRC001) completed by Alkane. This can
be partly explained by the partial digests and analogue equipment commonly used in
the 1970s
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The area is located at the northern extent of the Molong Volcanic Belt, a geological
region considered highly prospective for and host to several economically important
examples of porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation e.g. Cadia Valley alkalic porphyry cluster.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not
Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

All drill holes have been reported in this announcement.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Exploration results reported for uncut gold grades, grades calculated by length
weighted average

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

Reported intercepts are calculated using a broad lower cut of 0.1g/t Au and/or 0.05%
Cu and/or 10ppm Mo although grades lower than this may be present internally
(internal dilution). Internal dilution can be significant because of the type of bulk
mining techniques used to extract this style of mineralisation but are limited to <18%
for the purpose of calculation.

No top cut has been used.

Short intervals of high grades that have a material impact on overall intersection are
reported as separate (included) intervals
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

It is apparent on the sections and the report descriptions that the overall geometry of
the porphyry mineralisation at Boda prospect is subvertical.

True intervals are likely to be ~50% of downhole lengths
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be
included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Plans showing geology with drill collars are included in the body of the announcement.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced
to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

Comprehensive reporting has been undertaken with all holes listed in the included
table.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

No other exploration data is available to assist in interpretation.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

It is recommended that further drilling at Boda prospect to define its resource
potential. Other drilling work targeting the IP anomalies will be undertaken within the
licence.
