Resource Update - Crawford Gold Project

Corporate Highlights

  • 17% increase in the Crawford Gold Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE)

  • MRE now 3,745,000t at 1.0g/t for 117,800 ounces of gold (0.5% cut off grade)

  • Grade control drilling of supergene lode converts further material into JORC Indicated classfication

  • Resource remains open along strike and at depth, currently over 1km in strike length

  • Southern sub-vertical mineralised zone discovered

  • Northern fresh rock mineralised structure confirmed

  • Infill drilling of northern and southern zones now required

  • Experts report notes potential for resource extensions into the fresh primary zone

Summary:

Cavalier Resources Limited ( ASX: CVR ) ( 'Cavalier' or 'the Company' ) is pleased to announce the completion of its first upwards revision of the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) at the Crawford Gold Project (Crawford) in Leonora, Western Australia.

Daniel Tuffin, Executive Technical Director, commented:

“The Company’s initial campaign over the existing resource was designed to provide further confidence for mining activities via infill drilling to grade control standards over the central supergene lode and test for potential extensions to the resource along strike and depth. Both goals have been achieved.

Significantly, while the central supergene lode has now been de-risked for mining, the complexity of the remaining resource areas has increased. The discovery of a new sub vertical zone and the confirmation of the northern fresh rock zone indicates that further exploration drilling is required at Crawford. The expert’s report concurs, recommending further exploration of the extent of the resource given it remains open along strike and at depth.

In light of these new discoveries and developments the Company will now look to pause the pre-feasibility study (PFS) to allow further time for review, and to plan the implementation of a second drill program at

Geology and Geological Interpretation

Five domains were modelled. Domains 1 to 4 are oxide domains modelled as flat lying supergene zones within the oxidised zone. Domain 5 has been modelled as a sub-vertical mineralised zone based on a series of holes that indicate a vertical structure rather than a flat lying zone. This zone requires additional drilling to confirm the orientation and extent. See Figure 1 , below.

Solid mineralised shapes in the oxide zone were interpreted based on gold grades. A nominal grade of 0.3g/t was used to delineate the shapes. However, some lower grades were included to ensure continuity of the generally horizontal mineralisation.

Mineralisation was modelled as a series of supergene layers within the oxidised zone. Thicker zones of mineralisation are found towards the base of oxidation, sitting on and mimicking the shape of the top of fresh rock. Mineralisation has a gentle plunge towards the south-east as the weathering profile deepens in this direction. There is generally depletion of gold in the upper oxidised zone, but there are some smaller, thinner zones present.

There is significantly less data in the fresh rock. A series of narrow lodes dipping -30° towards 230° has been interpreted. Due to the lack of data the fresh rock modelling has not been constrained within a solid domain. A search ellipse with adequately constrained search dimensions was used to estimate grade. As such, all fresh rock mineralisation has been categorised as Inferred due to the lower confidence in the geological interpretation and the relative paucity of assay data.

Local Geology

The Pig Well Graben is on the eastern margin of the Keith-Kilkenny Tectonic Zone (KKTZ); it extends over 60km in a NNW direction and is up to 8km in width ( Figure 3 ). Within the graben, the dominant lithology is a coarse polymictic volcaniclastic conglomerate; there are minor amounts of other volcaniclastic and epiclastic rocks (Sullivan, 2011).

Outside the graben, lithologies consist of mafic and felsic volcanics, dacite porphyry and associated epiclastics, quartz dolerite and minor ultramafics. The Crawford trend refers collectively to local fault systems on the eastern margin of the Pig Well Graben. It is an intensely altered (sericite-fuchsite-silica-carbonatesulphide) shear zone that is defined by continuous anomalous drilling intersections in a north westerly direction for 20 km from Crawford Prospect through to and beyond the Gambier Lass Mine. It is one of a series of mineralised structures on the eastern side of the KKTZ. Drilling by previous explorers was generally widely spaced. This work identified anomalous scattered gold mineralisation associated with broad zones of intense alteration.

Sampling and Sub-Sampling Techniques

The vast majority of recent historic drilling on mining lease M37/1202 was shallow and focused on the central supergene resource area.

Historic rig samples were collected at 1m intervals after going through a rig mounted cyclone and splitter.

Drilling by private explorers Roman Kings Limited and Kingwest Resources Limited (ASX: KWR) was carried out with large rigs with sufficient air to keep holes and samples dry.

Drilling was with face sampling bits drilling standard 5.25 inch diameter holes. Private developer Specrez Limited’s infill drilling was carried out with a small track mounted rig that had a depth capacity of about 60m; this rig did encounter some issues with keeping samples dry at the bottom of some of the holes, but these intervals were generally outside the mineralised zones.

Sampling by historic explorers was initially with 4 or 5 meter composites with 1m samples taken in zones of mineralisation. Drilling by Kingwest, Specrez and Cavalier assayed all 1m samples.

Only RC drilling was utilised in the resource estimation process.

Drilling Techniques

Surface drilling was completed by standard RC drilling techniques. RC drilling used a face-sampling hammer over a 94mm diameter drill hole with samples collected using a cone splitter for 1m composites.

Criteria for Classification

The Crawford deposit has been classified as an Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource.

Drilling over the resource area has been carried out on 5m to 10m line spacings within the central supergene area of the deposit; therefore, this has been classified as Indicated.

Drilling in the primary zone is sparse hence this has all been classified as Inferred. The modelled vertical lode to the south of the deposit has been classified as Inferred due to paucity of data.

Estimation Methodology

Gold grade was estimated in 3 passes for the main oxide Domain 1. Pass 1 was based on the variogram model ranges; pass 2 was based on double this and pass 3 was three times the variogram model ranges. Oxide domains 2, 3 and 4 were estimated in one pass only due to their smaller lateral extents.

Domain 5, the sub-vertical lode, was estimated in one pass as this was sufficient to adequately populate blocks with grade, although deeper parts of the domain were not estimated. The mineralisation within the fresh rock zone was estimated with inverse distance squared only in one pass.

Search directions were based on the maximum ranges in the variogram model and correspond to the geological interpretation of a gently south-east dipping, horizontal blanket of gold mineralisation. The Domain 1 variogram model was applied to oxide domains 1 to 4. Search extents were selected to ensure that all blocks within the domains were informed with the relevant variables. In the case of gold, the search distances were about double the ranges indicated by variography.

The parent block size is 5m x 10m x 2.5m, based on the minimum block size to ensure adequate delineation of the domains. A sub-block size of 1.25m x 1.25m x 1.25m was used for more detailed delineation of surfaces. Grades were estimated into the parent block size.

Figure 5 shows the distribution of grades, with the focus being the top of fresh rock boundary. The different interpretation from oxide to fresh zones is also apparent. The oxide zone has been modelled as horizontal supergene mineralisation whereas the fresh mineralisation is contained in narrow, shallow dipping, lode type structures.

Sample Analysis Method

Samples were sent to ALS Laboratories in Kalgoorlie. Assaying was completed by fire assay using a 50g and AAS finish.

Data Analysis

Raw sampling intervals within the mineralised domain were all on 1m intervals and so this was used as the composite interval. Composites were constructed using the solid shape as a hard boundary. Any residual composites less than 0.5m in length were added to the previous 1m composite. All composites within the fresh zone are 1m in length.

Cut-off Grades

The reported cut-off grades of 0.5g/t and 1.0g/t have been chosen based on estimated mining costs for open pit operations. The two cut-off grades of 0.5g/t and 1.0g/t represent practical variations in mining costs and gold price inputs.

Modifying Factors

No mining or metallurgical factors have been incorporated into the model. Preliminary metallurgical analysis of oxide mineralisation indicates high gold recoveries with low reagent consumption. No assumptions have been made regarding environmental factors.

Appendix 1: JORC Table 1

JORC Table 1 Section 1

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc). These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample
representivity
and
the
appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
• 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 (e.g. ‘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 (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Sampling of Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes was
comprised of one metre (1m) cone split samples, as
drilled. Approximately 3.0kg of sample was collected over
each sampled interval. Sampling techniques are
considered to be in line with the standard industry
practice and are considered to be representative.
Cavalier Resources RC chip samples are crushed, dried
and pulverised to a nominal 90% passing 75µm to
produce a 50g sub sample for analysis by FA/AAS.
All drill holes are accurately located and referenced with
grid coordinates recorded in the standard MGA94
Zone51 grid system. Samples are collected using a
standard face hammer, they are split/bagged/logged at
the drill site. Samples were Fire Assayed (50-gram
charge) for Au only.
Only the drill results contained in the table of significant
intersections are considered in this document. All
samples and drilling procedures are carried out in
accordance with Cavalier Resources sampling and
QAQC procedures as per industry standard.
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. 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).
Surface drilling was completed by standard RC drilling
techniques. RC drilling used a face-sampling hammer
over a 94mm diameter drill hole with samples collected
using a cone splitter for 1m composites.
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.
• 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.
Sample recovery is measured and monitored by the drill
contractor and Cavalier representatives, where bag
volume is visually estimated and recorded as a
percentage. Sample recovery was generally very good.
The volume of sample collected for assay is considered
to represent a composite sample. Sample recovery is
maximized by using best-practice drill techniques,
whereby the hammer is pulled back at the completion of
each metre and the entire 1m sample is blown back
through the rod string. Known standards are inserted at
constant intervals at a rate of four per one hundred
samples.
Measures were taken to suppress groundwater and
minimize moisture within samples. Samples were
collected and stored in numbered calico bags and
removed from the field daily.

No relationship was observed 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.
• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature.
Logging of RC chips records lithology, mineralogy,
texture, mineralisation, weathering, alteration, veining,
grid coordinates, sample interval and depth. Data is
physically and electronically logged and stored. The level
of logging detail is considered appropriate for exploration
drilling. Logging of geology and colour are interpretative
and qualitative, whereas logging of mineral percentage is
quantitative. Chips from all RC holes are stored in chip
trays for future reference.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter,
half or all core taken.
• If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
• For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness
of
the
sample
preparation
technique.
• Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
• Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
See Sampling techniques in the above section.
The sample collection methodology is considered
appropriate for RC drilling and is within today’s standard
industry practice. Split one metre sample (1m) results are
regarded as reliable and representative. RC samples are
split with cone splitter at one metre intervals as drilled.
Analysis was conducted by ALS Minerals Laboratories in
Kalgoorlie. At the laboratory samples are dried, crushed
and pulverised until the sample is homogeneous.
Analysis technique for gold (only) was a Fire Assay 50-
gram charge AAS finish (Lab method Au-AA26).
Most samples were collected dry; on occasion ground
water was encountered and a minimal number of
samples were collected wet. It was however not
considered by Cavalier to be of sufficient concentration to
affect the sampling process. Field standards were
submitted with the sample batch, the assay laboratory
(ALS) also included their own internal checks and
balances
consisting
of
repeats
and
standards;
repeatability and standard results were within acceptable
limits.
No
issues
have
been
identified
with
sample
representatively.
The sample size is
considered
appropriate for this type of mineralisation style.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
• 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.
• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory
checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy
Geochemical analysis of RC chip samples was
conducted by ALS Minerals in Kalgoorlie. Sample
preparation included drying the samples (105°C) and
pulverising to 85% passing 75µm. Samples were then
riffle split to secure a sample charge of 50 grams.
Analysis was via Fire Assay with AAS finish. Only gold
analysis was conducted (ppm detection). The analytical
process and the level of detection are considered
appropriate for this stage of exploration.
Fire assay is regarded as a complete digest technique.
No geophysical tools were used to determine any
element concentrations.

(i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been
established.
Internal laboratory quality control procedures have been
adopted. Certified reference material in the form of
standards and duplicates are periodically imbedded in the
sample batch by Cavalier at a ratio of 1:15
Verification of
sampling and

alternative
company
personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures,

• Discuss any adjustment to assay data
The reported significant intersections have been verified
by the Cavalier Geology Manager and corporate
personnel. All the logged samples have been assayed;
the assay data has been stored physically and
electronically in the company database using Cavaliers
protocols. The sampling and assay data has been
compiled,
verified,
and
interpreted
by
company
geologists.
No holes were twinned. No adjustments, averaging or
calibrations are made to any of the assay data recorded
in the database. QA/QC protocol is considered industry
standard with standard reference material submitted on a
routine basis.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill
holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches,
mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
• Specification of the grid system used.
• Quality and adequacy of topographic control
Drill hole collars were located and recorded in the field
using a handheld GPS with a three metre or better
accuracy. The grid coordinate system utilised is GDA94
Zone51. Hole locations were visually checked on ground
and against historic plans for spatial verification. No
topographic control (i.e., RL) was required, a nominal
field RL of 380 to 385m is assumed for the ground surface
Data spacing
and distribution
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
• Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological and
grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
• Whether sample compositing has been applied.
The drill hole spacing is project specific; the RC drilling
patterns employed were dependent on previous drilling
and geological interpretation. The sample spacing is
considered close enough to identify significant zones of
gold mineralisation. The drill program is a follow
up/ongoing exploration exercise that was designed to
identify areas of geological interest and extensions to
known mineralisation at the Crawford deposit. Closer
spaced drilling on surrounding cross sections may be
required to further delineate the extent, size and
geometry of some areas within the identified zones of
gold mineralisation.
Drill spacing and drill technique is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the mineral resources and ore reserve estimation
procedures and classifications applied, however the
mineralised system remains open and additional infill
drilling is required to close off and confirm its full extent,
particularly at depth.
Samples were taken at 1m intervals, and no sample
compositing was applied.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
Drilling within the central Crawford project area was
vertical (-90 degrees), to intersect the generally flat lying
mineralisation. No relationship between mineralised
structure and drilling orientation has biased the sample.

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
• If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples are prepared on site under supervision of
Cavalier geological staff. Samples are selected, bagged
into tied numbered calico bags then grouped securely
and collected by a dedicated freight company directly to
the laboratory. Sample submissions are documented via
laboratory tracking systems and assays are returned via
email
Audits or

• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Sampling methodologies and assay techniques used in
this drilling program are considered to be mineral
exploration industry standard and any audits or reviews
are not considered necessary at this early exploration

Exploration
done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Previous exploration was completed by Goldfields
Exploration, Newcrest, Golden State Resources, Roman
Kings, Kingwest Resources and Specrez Resources.
Drilling by previous explorers resulted in the identification
and delineation of gold mineralisation associated with
broad zones of intense alteration.
Historic work is of a generally good standard and has
been used in the Mineral Resource Estimate for
Crawford.

Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The Crawford Deposit is hosted in an intensely altered
(sericite‐fuchsite‐silica‐carbonate‐sulphide) shear zone
within the eastern boundary of the Keith-Kilkenny
Tectonic Zone (KKTZ).
Gold mineralisation is disseminated in the vicinity of the
shears and localized within them. Quartz is present as
fine
veins,
associated
with
pyrite,
gold,
silver,
arsenopyrite and minor scheelite in the shear zone.
Within the weathered zone there has been remobilisation
and depletion of gold resulting in the formation of
horizontal
supergene
zones
of
elevated
gold
mineralisation. This zone is focussed close to the
boundary between fresh and oxidised rock.
Drillhole
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:
• easting and northing of the drill hole collar
• elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
• dip and azimuth of the hole
• down hole length and intercept depth
• 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.
The location of all drillholes is presented as part of the
significant intersection table in the body of this report.
Significant down hole gold intersections are reported in
the table of intersections. All hole depths refer to down
hole depth in metres. All hole collars are GDA94 Zone51
positioned. Elevation is a nominal estimate. Drill holes are
measured from the collar of the hole to the bottom of the
hole.
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.
• 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.
• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
All significant intercepts have been length weighted with
a minimum Au grade of 0.5ppm. No high grade cut off has
been applied. Intercepts are aggregated with minimum
width of 1m and maximum width of 2m for internal
dilution.
There are no metal equivalents reported in this release.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
• These relationships are particularly important
when reporting exploration results
• If the geometry of the Mineralisation with respect
to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported
Generally, the mineralised intervals are close to the true
width, especially so for vertical holes within the oxide
zone.
Oxide mineralisation at Crawford is modelled as
horizontal.

• 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.
Appropriate diagrams and figures are included in this
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.
The exploration results have been reported in a manner
that presents them in a balanced context without bias.
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
Historic activities have included drilling to obtain samples
for metallurgical test work, bulk density analyses and
geotechnical analyses. Regarding the results received
from this drilling program, no other substantive data is
currently considered necessary. All meaningful data is or
has been previously reported.
Further work • The nature and scale of planned further work (eg
tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step- out drilling).
• Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.
Cavalier intends on establishing exploration opportunities
which will extend the known mineralisation at depth at the
Crawford
deposit.
This
will
primarily
focus
on
understanding the key geological relationships and
critical continuity directions to target depth extensions.

A model of the lithology and weathering was generated
prior to the mineralisation domain interpretation
commencing. The mineralisation geometry has a very
strong relationship with the lithological interpretation and
structure in both the oxide/fresh mineralisation. For the

Grade estimation using Ordinary Kriging (OK) was
undertaken using Vulcan software. Detailed statistical
and geostatistical investigations have been completed
on the captured estimation data set (1m composites).
One element, Au g/t was estimated using parent cell
estimation, with density being assigned by lithology and
oxidation state. Drill hole data was coded using three
dimensional
domains
reflecting
the
geological
interpretation based on the structural, lithological,
alteration and oxidation characteristics of the Mineral
Resource. One metre composited data was used to
estimate the domains. The domains were treated as hard
boundaries and only informed by data from the domain.
The impact of outliers in the sample distributions used to
inform each domain was reduced by the use of grade
capping. Grade capping was applied on a domain scale
and a combination of analytical tools such as histograms
of grade, Coefficient of Variation (COV) analysis and log
probability plots were used to determine the grade caps
for each domain.
A top cut of 10 g/t was used
A Parent block size was selected at 5mE x 10mN x
2.5mRL, with sub-blocking down to 1.25 x 1.25 x 1.25.
Search Pass 1 used a minimum of 10 samples and a
maximum of 30 samples in the first pass with an ellipsoid
search. Search pass 2 was a minimum of 5 samples and
a maximum of 30 samples with an ellipsoid search.
A dynamic search strategy was used with the search
ellipse oriented to the semi-variogram model. The first
pass was at the variogram range, with pass 2 expanding
the ellipse by factors of 2. The majority of the Mineral
Resource was informed by the first pass.
A previously JORC compliant Mineral Resource
Estimates was estimated in 2020. This new MRE
corresponds to the previous model.
Auranmore completed check estimates for the latest
model using the inverse distance squared (ID2)
interpolation method. The global results are comparable
with the reported OK models with localised differences
as expected.
No

selectivity
has been
incorporated into the estimate.

the environmental assumptions made.
Bulk density
Whether assumed or determined. If assumed,
the basis for the assumptions. If determined,
the method used, whether wet or dry, the
frequency of the measurements, the nature,
size and representativeness of the samples.

The bulk density for bulk material must have
been measured by methods that adequately
account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc),
moisture and differences between rock and
alteration zones within the deposit.

Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates
used in the evaluation process of the different
materials.
No bulk density measurements exist for the deposit
Density values have been assumed based on similar
deposits in the Western Australia Goldfields.
Densities used are 1.8 for oxide, 2.3 for transitional and
2.7 for fresh.
Classification
The basis for the classification of the Mineral
Resources into varying confidence categories.

Whether appropriate account has been taken of
all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in
tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input
data, confidence in continuity of geology and
metal values, quality, quantity and distribution
of the data).

Whether the result appropriately reflects the
Competent Person’s view of the deposit.
The Mineral Resource estimate is reported here in
compliance with the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian
Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral
Resources and Ore Reserves’ by the Joint Ore Reserves
Committee (JORC). The resource was classified as an
Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource based on data
quality, sample spacing, and lode continuity.
The input data is comprehensive in its coverage of the
mineralisation and does not favour or misrepresent in-
situ mineralisation. The definition of oxide mineralised
zones is based on high level geological understanding
producing a robust model of mineralised domains. This
model has been confirmed by infill drilling which
supported the interpretation. Validation of the block
model shows good correlation of the input data to the
estimated grades
The Mineral Resource estimate appropriately reflects the
view of the Competent Person.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral
Resource estimates.
No audits or review of the Mineral Resource estimate has
been conducted.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence

Where appropriate a statement of the relative
accuracy and confidence level in the Mineral
Resource estimate using an approach or
procedure
deemed
appropriate
by
the
Competent
Person.
For
example,
the
application
of
statistical
or
geostatistical
procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of
the resource within stated confidence limits, or,
if such an approach is not deemed appropriate,
a qualitative discussion of the factors that could
affect the relative accuracy and confidence of
the estimate.

The statement should specify whether it relates
to global or local estimates, and, if local, state
the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant
to
technical
and
economic
evaluation.
Documentation should include assumptions
made and the procedures used.

These statements of relative accuracy and
confidence of the estimate should be compared
with production data, where available.
The mineralisation geometry and continuity has been
adequately interpreted to reflect the level of Indicated
and Inferred Mineral Resource.
The data quality is good, and the drill holes have detailed
logs produced by qualified geologists. A recognised
laboratory has been used for all analyses.
The Mineral Resource statement relates to global
estimates of tonnes and grade.
The deposits have not, and are not, currently being
mined.
