Tandarra

High-quality project

  • Drill results supportive of conceptual open pit:

  • gold grades range from moderate to high-grade

  • close to surface

  • potentially open-pit mineable

  • near established infrastructure and large workforce

  • open in all directions

  • Gold mineralisation open in all directions – possible same structural position as Four Eagles (north) and extension into Raydarra (south)

Bendigo Goldfield historic production World-class gold target

==> picture [705 x 303] intentionally omitted <==

  • Estimate of historic gold production in Bendigo indicates about 5 - 6 million ounces of gold was mined in the top 100m from surface

  • Early indications from Tandarra suggest possible alluvial gold in buried valleys

Source: Catalyst Metals Limited ASX release 20 July 2011

12

Bendigo Goldfield analogy

World class gold deposit

  • Historic gold production from multiple lines of lode

  • Lines of lode are sub-horizontal with reefs repeating at regular intervals with depth

  • 18 million ounces of reef gold

  • 4 million ounces of alluvial gold

  • Probable 5 – 6 million ounces of gold mined in top 100m from surface

  • Individual reefs up to 115,000 ounces of gold per strike kilometre*

  • Gold footprint approximately 12km x 3km

Black Range Significant copper-zinc-gold prospect

  • Volcanics are believed similar in age and geology to Tasmania’s Mt Read Volcanics - host to large deposits such as Mt Lyell, Rosebery, Henty & Hellyer

  • Under-explored due to poor outcrop and shallow cover

  • Large copper-zinc-gold mineralisation of potential volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) system identified at Eclipse

  • Experts on Tasmanian VMS rocks and VMS geophysics assisting exploration targeting

  • Soils program planned for Q4 2012
