Such statements are only predictions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual values, results, performance achievements to differ materially from those expressed, implied or projected in any forward looking statements.

  • 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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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

open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,

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).

of mineralisation.

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 hole
collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.

and AHRC0067 main body of
announcement
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
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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

Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results;
