  • Targeted high density areas in search of pathfinders for an IOCG system

  • Revealed a vast mineralised project area (drill holes up to 5km apart)

  • Sulphide mineralisation discovered in every hole

  • Precious and base metal association between copper, gold, silver, lead and zinc

1[st] Drill Hole Hits Mineralisation

==> picture [126 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • Initial discovery of copper mineralisation was made in DD001 , with chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) existing as disseminated ‘blebs’

  • Blebs up to 3mm in diameter and less commonly as coarser crystals on the margins of quartz veins or faults

  • Chalcopyrite accounts for less than 1% of the rock mass and appears associated with an overprinting high temperature alteration event

3[rd] Drill Hole Hits Massive Sulphides

==> picture [126 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • DD002 was abandoned prior to target depth

 Mineralisation was improving down-hole, strong sulphide + intense alteration

DD003 hit massive sulphides, including chalcopyrite, pyrite, magnetite and pyrrhotite in metasediments

 Mafic gabbro intersected at depth – magmatic nickel sulphide potential

  • Troctolite is a rare form of gabbro that has the potential to host magmatic nickelcopper sulphide deposits

  • Pentlandite – as exsolution laminae within pyrrhotite indicates magmatic nickel source

  • Best example – Voisey’s Bay in Canada Publically Stated Resources + Reserves 124.4 Mt @ 1.66% Ni (1998)

  • 77.6 Mt @ 2.28% Ni, 1.19% Cu, 0.13% Co (2005)

Holes 4 + 5 Intersect Similar Mineralisation

  • Sulphide mineralisation, including chalcopyrite (copper), sphalerite (zinc) and galena (lead) visually identified

  • The tenor of the mineralisation intersected is visually estimated to be similar to that announced for earlier drill holes

DD004 – Visible Chalcopyrite (Cu), Sphalerite (Zn) and Galena (Pb) mineralisation

  • Hole DD004 has been left open and may be re-entered to test for anomaly at depth

  • Disseminated and massive sulphide within meta-sedimentary pile

  • Precious and base metal association between copper, lead, zinc, +

  • cadmium, silver gold

  • Fertile magmatic sulphide host rocks

Imminent Restart of Exploration Activity

==> picture [126 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • Analysis of recent work programme ongoing, includes:

  • geochemistry,

  • rock + mineral petrology

  • reprocessing geophysics

  • VTEM to commence this month testing for conductive units and massive sulphides

  • Drilling to recommence this month

  • Drill rig on site and ready to go

  • Recent work will benefit drill targeting

  • First time testing:

    • Fluid pathways

----- End of picture text -----

Investment Rationale

==> picture [126 x 55] intentionally omitted <==

  • Maiden drilling programme was very successful: proved Top Up Rise is a vast mineralised system

  • Prospective for multiple types of mineralisation

  • Precious and base metal association between copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, silver and gold

  • Possibility of both a mafic and granite (porphyry) source for the mineralising fluids

  • Troctolite + pentlandite identified = magmatic nickel-copper potential

  • Source of the TUR gravity anomaly remains unexplained

  • High impact Phase 2 drilling programme planned: de-risked and highly prospective target

  • Drilling recommencing this month

  • Corazon share price highly leveraged to drilling success
