Barns gold deposit summary

Current status

  • Discovery and early delineation when gold around A$550/oz

  • Increase in gold price to >A$1,600/oz dramatically improves economics

  • 107,000 ounce maiden Mineral Resource estimated July 2016

  • Comparable gold ounce resource position to much higher valued SA peers

Future work

  • Metallurgical testwork currently underway to establish recovery and inform flow sheet design

  • Iterative economic scoping/feasibility studies

  • Infill drilling to convert Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources

  • Exploration to extend deposit down‐dip and to south (but would deeper ounces make

Barns – part of a larger gold camp

Additional shallow gold resources near Barns would improve project robustness

  • Past drilling has discovered other prospects that can build local resource base

  • Recent successful RC drilling programme at Baggy Green

Baggy Green prospect history

Located <6km from Barns

  • Originally indicated as 3km long gold anomaly in regional calcrete geochemical survey

  • Systematic aircore drilling defined coherent zones of gold mineralisation in saprolite beneath shallow cover sediments

  • Potentially economic grade and width intersections recorded in 2004 RC drill holes when project in JV with Newmont

  • Newmont’s withdrawal in early 2005, coupled with lacklustre gold price and focus on other targets and commodities, saw 10‐year hiatus in activity

Baggy Green – cross section through southern target zone

Principal mineralised shear structure is well defined

  • Average true width of primary zone is 27 metres

  • Gentle dip – 450m west of eastern limit, the mineralised zone is still <200m below surface

  • Higher grade gold shoots are present within plane of structure

Baggy Green – preliminary 3‐D model

Recent RC programme confirms Baggy Green can materially add to local resource base

  • Model boundaries interpreted using nominal 0.5g/t gold cut‐off (Barns used same cut‐off)

• Preliminary model volume is in excess of 1 million m[3 ] (cf. Barns model of 1.2 million m[3] )

Baggy Green – potential for much bigger target

Area of detailed drilling is part of a much larger potential target.

  • The southern zone is interpreted to have a strike of 2000 metres and remains open to the SW

  • Assuming consistent dip and width, to 200 metres below surface the volume where gold potential is high is ~50 million tonnes

  • If even a modest portion of this prospective volume is mineralised at economic grade, the deposit could be of significant size

Barns could be the satellite to a much larger deposit at

Eyre Peninsula Gold summary

  • JORC Code 2012 compliant maiden Mineral Resource for Barns totals

  • 2.11 million tonnes at 1.6g/t gold for 107,000 ounces at a 0.5g/t cut‐off

  • Metallurgical testing of Barns mineralised material is currently underway to establish gold recovery and inform flow sheet design

  • Recent drilling at Baggy Green delivers best intersections to date

  • Preliminary modelling of area of detailed drilling at Baggy Green confirms it can deliver shallow resources that will materially build the local resource base

  • Elsewhere in the Barns Camp, sparsely drilled areas at Baggy Green and other nearby targets offer further opportunities to increase resources

  • Valuation comparison with peers suggests significant upside possible as we progress this project

  • 2016 applications (blue borders) secure gold prospective Drummond Basin and Anakie Inlier geology – (both of these tenements have now been granted).

  • Historical epithermal style gold prospects confirm presence of mineralisation in all areas

What is an epithermal gold system?

  • Form during periods of active volcanism associated with subduction of tectonic plates

  • Gold deposited in quartz veins at relatively shallow depths below the surface

  • Fluids vent on surface as hot springs and geysers, depositing sinter terraces

  • Bonanza gold grades (Pajingo resource in 2000 was ~4MT at 15g/t gold)

  • Epithermals can be very large deposits ‐ Pajingo >3Moz gold

  • Fruta del Norte (Ecuador) >13Moz gold

Epithermal geological processes were occurring in the Drummond Basin in the early Carboniferous

Active epithermal system Rotorua, NZ

Drummond summary

  • Land holding 100% owned and significantly expanded in 2016

  • Original tenements secure the Glenroy epithermal field – multiple epithermal systems identified

  • The Glenroy systems are generally not deeply eroded ‐ target gold zones likely to be preserved at depth

  • Discovery of a deposit like Pajingo, Yandan and Wirralie would be transformative

  • Bunyip, Poppi’s, Roo Tail and East Central Limey Dam are drill ready – all required heritage clearances, approvals etc are in place

  • Low cost surface work planned on new ground to feed target pipeline
