Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments,
etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
The Golden Orb South and Core Farm, Deja Vu and Fugitive
Prospects were sampled by Aircore Drilling at various drill
spacings, to a minimum drill spacing of 10m x 10m. All
locations are depicted on the included figures. A total of 149
Aircore drill holes for 6,990 metres were completed. Four
metre composite samples were initially collected for laboratory
analysis. Significant composite intervals were resampled at
one metre intervals for analysis.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
A consistent scoop sampling method has been adopted for
either composite or single metre scoop sampling drilling. All
sampling protocols remained constant throughout the
program. All hole locations were determined by handheld
GPS.
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
(eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Aircore drilling was used to obtain one metre drill samples from
which approximately a 2-3 kg sub-sample (scoop sampled as
per above) was pulverized (>90% smaller than 75 micron) to
produce a pulp sample for analysis.
Analysis of the four metre composite and one metre resample
samples comprised a 25g aqua regia digest, solvent extraction
then Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry for Au
determination to a lower detection limit of 0.01ppm Au.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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).
All drilling was completed via Aircore Drilling. All holes were
completed to blade refusal for an average depth of
approximately 46 metres.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
No recording of recoveries was undertaken.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Drill cyclone and sample buckets are cleaned when required
during each drill hole and after each hole to minimise down
hole and/or cross contamination.
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.
No relationship has been identified to date.
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.
The use of scoop sampled drilling is not appropriate for
mineral resource estimate and is considered a qualitative
sampling technique.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core
(or costean, channel, etc) photography.
Logging of drill chips recorded lithology, weathering, veining,
mineralisation, and other features of the drill samples. A EOH
chip sample reference was collected for each hole.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections
logged.
All drill holes were logged in full from start to end of hole.

sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all
core taken.
No core.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.
The drilling comprised dry samples which were scoop
sampled.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness
of the sample preparation technique.
The sample preparation of the chip samples follows industry
best practice in sample preparation involving oven drying,
crushing and pulverising of the total sample (total prep) so that
a minimum of 90% of pulverized material is less than 75µm
grind size.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
The laboratory conducted up to two repeat analysis on all
samples returning >0.1ppm Au and conducted routine 1 in 20
check analysis and regular blank and mineralized standard
analyses throughout.
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.
No duplicate sampling was completed. All samples were
collected to weigh less than 3kg to ensure the entire sample is
pulverized prior to subsampling for digesting.

and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
The aqua regia digest is considered a near total digest and is
considered appropriate considering the nature of sample
collected.
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.
None used
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards,
blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
The laboratory conducted up to two repeat analysis on all
samples returning >0.1ppm Au and conducted routine 1 in 20
check analysis and regular blank and mineralized standard
analyses throughout. From these results it has been
determined that an acceptable level of accuracy and precision
has been achieved.
Verification
of sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
None undertaken.
The use of twinned holes.
None undertaken.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Field and laboratory data have been collected electronically.
The electronic data has been validated visually and
automatically using Micromine software.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
None undertaken.
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.
The location of drill hole collars was determined by handheld
GPS prior to drilling which is expected to have an accuracy of
+/- 5m. The level of accuracy of the collar location details is
considered appropriate for the nature of drilling completed.
Specification of thegrid system used.
The coordinate system in use was GDA1994 MGA Zone 51.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
A nominal RL of 340m has been used for the drilling.
Data
spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
The majority of drilling ensured drill coverage of at least 20m x
50m.
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
estimationprocedure(s) and classifications applied.
At this stage no mineral resource or reserve estimates have
been undertaken. Collected samples and subsequent results
from the drilling are not suitable for incorporation into mineral
resource or ore reserve estimations.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Four metre scoop composites and single metres scoop
samples were collected from the drill samples in the field.
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,consideringthe deposit type.
The completed drilling was undertaken roughly perpendicular
to the strike direction of the geology and related
mineralisation.
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.
No orientation based sampling bias has been identified in the
data
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.
All samples were delivered to Kambalda daily where they were
securely stored in a locked compound, until transported to
Minanalytical Laboratory Services in Perth, via Kalgoorlie on a
weekly basis.
All single metre scoop samples were collected and delivered
the same dayto Genalysis Laboratories,Kalgoorlie.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques
and data.
No audits or reviews have been undertaken.

status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third parties
such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties,
native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
The completed drilling is located within tenement E15/967,
M15/97, M15/1101, and P15/4299 of the Spargoville project
which are currently owned 100% by Tychean Resources
Limited. The nickel rights over tenement E15/967 and
P15/4299 are held by Minotaur Exploration.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along
with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate
in the area.
There are no existing impediments to the tenement.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
Previous exploration within the area comprises surface
geochemistry, drilling, airborne and ground geophysics and
was conducted by various companies. The majority of the
exploration within E15/967 and P15/4299 has been
completed by Resolute, Breakaway Resources and Ramelius
Resources. Previous exploration within tenement M15/97
has been completed by WMC, Goldfields and Ramelius
Resources. ACM Gold, Spinifex and Ramelius Resources
completed the majorityof exploration with M15/1101.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.
The geology within the project area is dominated by
Archaean mafic/ultramafic and sedimentary lithologies and
minor felsic intrusive. Hydrothermal vein and shear related
gold mineralisation is being targeted by exploration within the
tenement.
Drill hole
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 interception depth
hole length.
All relevant drill hole collar details are included as Table 2.
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.
No information has been excluded
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.
When reporting exploration results, an average of the original
assay and any available repeat assays are averaged and all
intercepts ≥1.0ppm Au are reported. When consecutive
samples down hole samples returned ≥1.0ppm, the average
gold values for each relevant interval is used to obtain an
intercept average.
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.
Any aggregate results which are biased by one or more
higher grade single composite result, then these composite
results are detailed.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent
values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.
Not enough information is known about the nature and
orientation of the mineralisation within the area at this stage.
If the mineralisation is vertical then the down hole width of the
intercepted mineralisation would be twice that of the true
width, as was the Case at Wattle Dam Gold Mine.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.
The orientation of the mineralisation is unknown. Further
drilling including RC and diamond drilling will be required to
determine the orientation of mineralisation.
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’).
The reported intercepts are down hole lengths only as the
true width of is 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.
See Table 1
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.
Comprehensive reporting of all exploration results has been
undertaken.
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,
No other exploration data is available.
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out
drilling).
The identified mineralised trends at Core Farm, Golden Orb
South and Fugitive interpreted within the Archaean basement
are expected to be further evaluated via RC drilling planned
for Q2 2014, in conjunction with planned RC drilling at
Hilditch Gold and 5B Prospects.
The interpreted
paleochannel mineralisation at Core Farm will be further
evaluated with close spaced vertical air core drilling to 5
metre hole spacing’s. Single metre samples of the anomalous
intercepts will also be taken in order to assist with the
distribution of the gold in each hole and the area as a whole.
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations and
future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
Target areas for future drilling were included in figures in
previous announcements reporting initial composite results.
