ABOUT THE FRASER RANGE TENEMENTS

The Company manages the Orpheus Project (Figure 2), comprising six tenements covering approximately 558km[2] in the Fraser Range province of Western Australia. In the Fraser Range, certain mafic intrusion suites are prospective to host nickel-copper sulphide mineralisation. The region is currently experiencing high levels of exploration activity for nickel following the Nova, Silver Knight and Mawson discoveries.

The Orpheus Project includes a 70% interest in three mineral exploration licences and one mineral exploration licence application, and a 100% interest in a further mineral exploration licence and an application. The granted exploration licences form part of a joint venture between the Company (70%) and Enterprise Metals Limited (“Enterprise”) (30%, ASX: ENT). Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, the Company is responsible for sole funding all joint venture activities on the tenements, which form part of the joint venture, up to completion of a bankable feasibility study.

AIRBORNE MAGNETIC AND GRAVITY SURVEYS COMPLETED

During the quarter, the Company completed both a detailed high-resolution airborne magnetic survey and semi-regional gravity survey over tenements E28/2403 and E28/2738 are located on the eastern margin of the northern Fraser Range gravity high and sit in between Legend Mining Limited’s (ASX: LEG) Mawson discovery and Galileo Mining Limited’s (ASX: GAL) Lantern Prospect. The processing and interpretation of the datasets has led to the identification of ten high priority drill targets across the two tenements (Figure 1).

FUTURE WORK PROGRAMS

The Company’s initial exploration focus is on progressively air-core drill testing the targets located north of the Trans-line Railway. The Company is in the process of selecting an appropriate drilling contractor and obtaining all necessary government approvals.

In conjunction with the above intended air-core drilling program, the Company is continuing its review of historic and recent nickel exploration data at the Plato prospect on E63/1281 in the southern area of the Fraser Range. The assessment of the data is being undertaken with a view to refine potential drill targets on the tenement.
