The potential quantity and grade of iron deposits reported as exploration potential is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if future exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
-
ExplorationTarget[1] : The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource or to understand the potential of any of the exploration targets. Further exploration is warranted to improve understanding and reduce uncertainty. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral resource.

Estimate of Magnetite Exploration Target assuming the parameters defined on slide 12 (previous slide) based on the maximum and minimum cases. The range estimated is in accordance with JORC (2012) guidelines represented in Tables 3 and 4. Grade range at the six projects is taken from the from surface rock chip sampling of outcrop and RC drilling assays where drilling has been executed. No cuts or averaging have been applied. All assay results reported as per ASX -AHN announcements through the period July 2010-2014. All surface dimensions are from surface mapping programs. More drilling is needed to prove depth or true thickness. Depth estimates in the absence of drilling have been made based on outcrop and field relationships. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource or to understand the potential of any of the exploration targets. Further exploration is warranted to improve understanding and reduce uncertainty. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation o n a mineral resource. 13.

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. |
This Report is on the visual inspection of diamond core and RC chips from drill holes Also this Report is on the magnetic susceptibility readings taken from RC drill hole AHRC0067 and AHRC0068. Assays pending . The measurement tool used was a hand held KT-10 with serial number # 8791 |

| 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. |

| 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). |
Diamond Core NQ will be cut and half core submitted Reverse Circulation (RC) |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Historic exploration within the project area largely confined to south of a line extending from Imagi Well to the Byro East intrusion (Melun Bore). The earliest work with any bearing on Athena’s activities is that of Electrolic Zinc Co (1969) exploring for chromatite at Imagi Well, followed closely by Jododex Australia (1970-1974) at Byro East. Much of the exploration of a more regional nature is of limited use either because of the vagaries of the accuracy of positional information and the limited range of elements analysed. More recent surveys pertinent to Athena’s current investigations include that of Redback Mining (1996-2002), Yilgarn Mining Limited (2003-2008) and Mithril (2007, JV with Yilgarn) at Byro East, and Western Mining Corporation (1976-1979) and Precious Metals Australia at Imagi Well. Newcrest Mining carried out a limited reconnaissance RAB drilling programme for platinum just to the east of Byro homestead (1998- 1990). |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill holecollar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interceptiondepth o hole length. |

| 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. |
No information has been excluded | |
| 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. |
No weighting, min max, ave, truncation or cut off techniques were used in this report |
| 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. |
No aggregation has been used |

| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent are referred to in this report |
|
| 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’). |
| |
| 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. |
Refer to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 in the body of the report |
| 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. |
This Report is on the results of a gravity survey |
| 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, |
Geophysical gravity data was acquired over an area of 39 square kilometers and included 950 stations for a total of 65 line kilometers. The sample stations were at 50m, 100m and 200 meter spacing’s. All measurements were |
