EXPLORATION ACTIVITIES

Western Australia

Valley Floor Gold Prospect

Significant supergene horizons have been identified within the reconnaissance Air core drilling completed at the Valley Floor Gold Prospect.

The Company recently (October 2013) completed an Air core drilling programme at the Company's 100% owned Valley Floor Gold Prospect located approximately 10 kms south of the town of Kambalda, on Lake Lefroy, in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

A total of 54 Air core drill holes were completed for 3,747m at a drill spacing of 80m x 200m. The drilling was completed to test two areas within E15/1249 where structures interpreted from aeromagnetic data cross cut and offset lithologies of the basement Archaean sedimentary sequence, the Merougil Beds. The drilling intersected an average of 60m (maximum 85m) of transported and lake sediment, associated with Lake Lefroy, overlying the Archaean basement. Penetration and subsequent sampling of the Archaean basement was limited to an average of 4m within the drilling, underneath the transported cover. The completed drilling should be treated as a first pass reconnaissance geochemical program completed to determine the level of prospectivity of the Archaean basement underlying Lake Lefroy.

The completed drilling within the southern area of the drilled areas intersected several anomalous intercepts within the Archaean sedimentary basement and will be the focus of further drilling early in the New Year. The anomalous intercepts are interpreted to be associated with supergene dispersion of

gold mineralisation along the contact of transported sediments and underlying weathered Archaean basement and/or primary mineralisation within the Archaean basement. More significant supergene horizons have been interpreted within the drilling in the southern drilled area which remains open along strike to the north and south.

For a first pass drilling program on Lake Lefroy, that is comparable to an auger sampling program conducted in areas of outcropping and/or residual material, it is very encouraging to get $>1$ g/t gold results within the Archaean basement. The interpreted significant supergene horizons require further evaluation by Air core drilling in order to further define and extend, prior to potential RC drilling. Follow-up drilling is planned for first quarter 2014.

Fugitive/Déjà vu Gold Prospects

Exciting gold anomalies highlighted by close spaced auger drilling completed at Fugitive and Deja Vu prospects

A total of 1,333 auger samples were collected within the Kambalda West tenements of the Spargoville Project during November 2013. The auger sampling was successful in further defining areas of surface Au anomalism, which are to be targeted with detailed Air core drilling in order to evaluate the potential for high grade Wattle Dam style mineralisation. The majority of the auger sampling was focused on the Deja Vu and Fugitive Prospects at spacings of 20m x 50m where existing surface geochemistry from previous explorers was broader spaced, more erratic and inconsistent, due to being completed over several programs and by different sampling and assaying techniques. Several broader spaced auger lines were also completed in areas where limited, to no, previous surface geochemistry existed.

Results have now been received from the recent auger sampling which has highlighted two coherent zones of >100ppb auger gold anomalism at Deja Vu and Fugitive respectively.

At Deja Vu, a zone of >100ppb gold was identified over approximately 300 metres which trends north-northwest to the north, sub-parallel to geological strike and more southwest to the south, sub-parallel to an interpreted structure crosscutting the area. At the interpreted intersection point of the two trends, a maximum result of 586ppb gold has been received. A coincident zone of demagnitised ultramafic lithologies has been interpreted from aeromagnetic data within the area. Limited drilling has been completed at Deja Vu to date. Further drilling is required to effectively test the auger gold anomalism identified.

The results of the auger drilling from Fugitive have highlighted a coherent zone of >100ppb gold that trends for approximately 750 metres, sub-parallel to geological strike, in a northnorthwest orientation. Two core areas of >250ppb gold are located with the broader >100ppb gold auger anomaly at Fugitive. The northern >250ppb gold zone which extends for 200m and has a maximum result of 430ppb Au from the auger sampling, has been the focus of previous exploration drilling to a drill spacing of 20m x 50m. The completed drilling has identified a discontinuous and discrete >1g/t sub-vertical gold mineralised zone over approximately 350m strike length.

The southern >250ppb gold zone at Fugitive, which extends for 200m and returned a maximum result of 533ppb Au within the auger sampling, has received preliminary evaluation by previous explorers within RAB drilling to a 40m x 100m drill spacing. The completed drilling in the southern gold zone has highlighted a >1g/t gold mineralised zone over 200m (to date) which requires further drilling to close off and/or extend to the north and south. Significant intervals within the mineralised zone include results such as $2m \omega$ 4.3g/t Au from 36m and 1m @ 8.3g/t Au from 32m. A zone of demagnitised mafic/ ultramafic lithologies has been interpreted from aeromagnetic data within the area. Further drilling is required within this zone to infill to a maximum drill spacing of 20m x 50m, in order to gain a better understanding of the mineralisation, in particular the potential for high grade mineralisation.

Several single point >100ppb gold anomalies have also been identified from the auger sampling which are interpreted to be a lower priority than the identified Fugitive and Deja Vu auger gold anomalies

Future exploration at Fugitive and Deja Vu is envisaged to comprise Air core drilling which will target the identified >100ppb Au mineralised zone identified by the completed auger sampling, in areas which require initial or further drill evaluation to evaluate the area for high grade Wattle Dam style mineralisation. It is also envisaged that further auger sampling will be completed between the Fugitive and Deja Vu prospects in order to evaluate the area as existing surface geochemistry is very broad at a grid spacing of 100m x 200m.

Follow-up air core drilling planned for first quarter 2014.

Core Farm, Fugitive and Déjà vu Prospects

Highly anomalous gold intercepts of 4m @ 22.0g/t Au from 12m and 8m @ 1.72g/t Au from 24m returned from the Core Farm Prospect.

A recent RAB drilling programme has returned a highly anomalous gold intercept at its Core Farm Prospect: approximately 400m to the northeast of the Wattle Dam Gold Mine at the Company's wholly owned Spargoville Gold Project in the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

A total of 93 RAB drill holes for 4,305 metres were completed during November 2013 in order to infill and extend previous drilling at the Golden Orb East, Core Farm and 8500N Prospects, targeting localised high grade gold mineralisation. similar to that mined at the Wattle Dam Gold Mine.

The drilling predominantly intercepted ultramafic lithologies in contact with intrusive felsic rocks which strike roughly north northwest. Within the drilling, a sequence of transported cover was intersected, of up to 25 metres vertically with a basal sequence comprising quartz rich, sands and gravels.

Composite results have been received from the completed drilling which has returned several significant intercepts, including a highly anomalous result of 4m @ 22.0g/t Au from 12m, from RAB drill hole SPRB0064. This highly anomalous result has been received spanning the contact between the transported sands and gravels and the residual weathered Archaean bedrock. As a result it is unclear at this stage whether the mineralisation is associated with the paleochannel sands and gravels or supergene related along the contact between the transported cover and bedrock or hosted entirely within the bedrock.

Other anomalous results from the drilling includes, 8m @ 1.72g/t Au from 24m to End of Hole [EOH], from RAB drill hole SPRB0056, also from the Core Farm Prospect. This intercept is hosted within the weathered felsic intrusive, adjacent to the western contact with ultramafic lithologies. The intercept is located 50m along strike to the southeast of an historical intercept by ACM Gold of 1m @ 6.2g/t Au from 37m and remains open to the southeast.

A comparison between the density of drilling completed to date and the results returned within the area and that completed and returned from Wattle Dam at a similar level of exploration, highlights the potential for high grade gold mineralisation within the area and supports the case for further exploration drilling.

This is now a High Priority Drill Target that will be the subject of close spaced Air Core Drilling in Q1 2014, along with two other recently defined High Priority Targets at Fugitive and Déjà vu prospects. (ASX Release 4 Dec 2013).
