COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENT

The information in this report that relates to exploration results and exploration targets is based on and fairly represents information compiled by Michael Leu, a Competent Person who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Michael has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. Michael consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

All parties have consented to the inclusion of their work for the purposes of this presentation. The interpretations and conclusions reached in this presentation are based on current geological theory and the best evidence available to the author at the time of writing. It is the nature of all scientific conclusions that they are founded on an assessment of probabilities and, however high these probabilities might be, they make no claim for absolute certainty. Any economic decisions which might be taken on the basis of interpretations or conclusions contained in this presentation will therefore carry an element of risk.

HIGH-GRADE BASE-METALS IN NSW

NEW ENGLAND FOLD BELT - MASSIVE SULPHIDE POTENTIAL

Halls Peak Project

  • Located in prolific New South Wales base-metal region close to historic and currently producing mines

  • Historic, small-scale mining at Halls Peak

  • Previous project drilling intersected:

37.2m @ 8.7% Zn, 3.0% Pb, 85g/t Ag, 1.4% Cu[1] 11.3m @ 15.18% Zn, 8.02% Pb, 597g/t Ag, 1.61% Cu[2] 11.2m @ 19.71% Zn, 10.77 % Pb, 134.96 g/t Ag, 0.8% Cu[3]

  • Initial planned 17-hole ~4,000m drilling program to target base-metal hosted massive sulphide mineralisation at the Gibson and Sunnyside prospects

  • Market spotlight on lead-zinc projects such as Earaheedy owned by Rumble Resources[4]

  • Targeting large-scale SEDEX type deposit

TWO DRILL-READY PROSPECTS

PLANNED EXPLORATION FOR GIBSONS AND SUNNYSIDE

Gibsons

  • Planned 14 holes (2,500m)

  • Geophysical data has identified deeper potential massive sulphide targets

  • Deeper holes to be surveyed by DHEM to identify further extensions of mineralisation at depth

  • Previous exploration in 2016 identified high grade massive sulphides

  • Holes are designed to confirm near surface mineralisation and deeper SEDEX potential to a maximum depth of up to 500m

Sunnyside

  • Planned 3 holes (1,700m)

“The deeper exploration at Sunnyside provides the opportunity to begin understanding the larger Halls Peak system. Combined with the Gibsons drill program we expect to begin to delineate a significant base metal resource that will potentially prove transformational for the company and its shareholders.”

CEO Alex Biggs

  • Large scale SEDEX target identified with no previous exploration

  • A total of three new targets identified through re-interpreted VTEM

  • survey
