Study parameters
- Based on current JORC Mineral Resource
• Investigation options of
1. Small open cut to provide underground access AND
2. Larger open cut only
- Use of current metal prices, indicative metal recoveries, factors for dilution and ore loss, processing costs and mining costs for each option
The study was designed to identify targets from within and adjacent to the current JORC mineral resource with the potential to be extracted based on the study parameters. It does not imply that these are production scenarios at this time and accordingly should not be used as a basis for investment decisions about shares in the company. 15

Yuinmery Project Other targets being tested
-
Numerous prospects with large coincident geochemical, geophysical
-
anomalies indicative of a highly fertile VMS system with sparse drill coverage
-
Systematic RAB, RC and diamond drilling required
Examples
-
C-Zone - 3.07m @ 3.09% Cu, and 0.2g/t Au and 0.44m @ 1.37% Cu, 0.18g/t Au
-
B-zone - shallow drilling encountered 40m @ 0.50% Cu from surface and open (A-zone look-a-like)
-
Augustus - 20.6m @ 0.32% Cu, 0.07g/t Au including 0.4m @ 3.44% Cu and 0.91g/t Au (A-zone look a like)
-
Smith Well - 8m @ 1.4% Cu from a shallow RC drill hole in gossan
-
Low grade wide platinum – palladium (Ni – Cu) at Constantine prospect
