HIGHLIGHTS

YENEENA PROJECT - Paterson Province, WA

The Yeneena Project (“Yeneena”) consists of a major ground position between the Nifty copper mine, the Telfer goldcopper mine and the Kintyre uranium deposit where Encounter has made a series of greenfield base metal discoveries that demonstrate the potential of the area for large tonnage, high quality deposits.

BM7 Copper/ Cobalt Discovery (Antofagasta earning in)

  • Exploration in 2013 outlined a 6km x 3km copper system at BM7 that remains open to the south. The final diamond hole in 2013, EPT1719, intersected a 5.3 metre zone, with locally massive copper sulphides forming as breccia cement near the upper boundary of a narrow carbonate unit. This zone returned an assay of 5.3m @ 2.5% Cu from 387.6m including 0.7m @ 10.7% Cu from 388.6m.

  • The initial three diamond holes at BM7 are planned to test the area down dip and to the east of high grade copper sulphide mineralisation in EPT1719.

  • This initial drilling will also provide the first diamond drilling at the BM7 East regolith anomaly. This is a laterally extensive +0.5% copper anomaly that extends over 2km in strike.

  • The planned exploration under the Antofagasta earn-in agreement during the June 2014 quarter includes 4,000m of diamond drilling and 5,500m of aircore/RC drilling.

BM2 Copper / Zinc (Encounter 100%)

  • The 2014 diamond drill program commenced at the BM2 zinc prospect at Yeneena. The initial hole in the program tested the up dip position of high grade zinc sulphide mineralisation intersected in EPT1854 (0.7m @ 36.5% Zn from 430.05m) drilled at the end of the 2013 drill campaign.

  • The initial hole intersected a similar alteration zone and anomalous zinc levels (confirmed by handheld Niton XRF) were noted at the carbonate/shale contact but no massive zinc sulphide mineralisation was observed. Assay results for this hole will be reported in the June 2014 quarter. The next drilling will focus along strike at the interpreted intersection of the key mineralising structure and the margin of a sub basin within the Broadhurst sediments.

Cash / Funding

  • Sound cash position - The Company is well funded with a cash balance of $3.1M at 31 March 2014 and received a further $1.9M contribution in April 2014 under the Antofagasta earn-in to cover the June 2014 quarter exploration expenditure.

Field operations re-commenced in the quarter with Encounter mobilising to site in late March 2014. An initial diamond drilling campaign commenced in early April 2014 which will test for zinc sulphides at the BM2 prospect, where previous drilling has intersected narrow, high-grade zinc (ASX announcement on 13 December 2013). The diamond drill rig has now mobilised and commenced drilling at BM7 as part of the Antofagasta Earn-in.

Exploration activities conducted in the March 2014 quarter included:

  • Re-commencement of field activities at Yeneena

  • Planning for heritage survey at the BM7, BM7 East and BM8 prospects

  • Planning for VTEM survey over prospective Broadhurst Formation as part of the Hammer Metals Ltd earn-in (Encounter Earning in).

  • Compilation of drilling and geophysical data collected in the 2013 field season and generation of 2014 drill targets

BM1-BM6-BM7-BM8-BM9-BM10 (Antofagasta Earning In)

The two earn-in tenements, E45/2658 and E45/2805, host the BM1, BM6, BM7, BM8, BM9 and BM10 prospects.

The BM7 tenement, E45/2805, was granted in August 2012. Since then, Encounter has outlined a large copper system that is still growing. The Company has attracted a quality partner in Antofagasta plc and subsequent joint drill programs have produced high grade copper sulphide mineralisation and tripled the size of the copper mineralised footprint in 2013.

A significant diamond and RC drilling program is planned for the 2014 field season. Drilling will target eastward extensions of high-grade copper mineralisation intersected in EPT1719 (ASX announcement 22 October 2013). In addition, a regional RC/aircore campaign over new targets (BM9 and BM10) and the extensions of existing prospects will be completed within the Antofagasta earn-in tenements.

BM7 Prospect

(Refer ASX announcement 27 November 2013 for BM7 JORC 2012 disclosures, unless otherwise referenced). The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcement and the form and context of the announcement have not been materially modified.

The BM7 prospect is situated at the intersection of the north-east trending Queen fault and the regionally-extensive McKay fault (Figure 2).

Exploration in 2013 outlined a 6km x 3km copper system at BM7 that remains open to the south. The final diamond hole in 2013, EPT1719, intersected a 5.3 metre zone, with locally massive copper sulphides forming as breccia cement near the upper boundary of a narrow carbonate unit. This zone returned an assay of 5.3m @ 2.5% Cu from 387.6m including 0.7m @ 10.7% Cu from 388.6m (ASX announcement 22 October 2013, and Photo 1).

[The above information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004.]

BM7 Diamond Drilling

(Reported pursuant to the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code – refer ASX announcement 22 October 2013)

This high grade primary mineralization drilled in EPT 1719 is a validation of our model that the target mineralisation style is similar to the Nifty copper deposit located 65 km north of BM7. The Nifty copper sulphide mineralisation is a shallow plunging body with the strongest mineralisation located at the keel of a synform (Figure 5). It is interpreted that the BM7 mineralisation is stratabound within a package of shallow easterly dipping carbonate units separated by calcareous shales. The mineralisation appears to become stronger as drilling progresses down dip to the east with the sulphide assemblage becoming more chalcopyrite dominant. It is interpreted that EPT1719 is vectoring towards the centre of the mineral system at BM7. This observation, together with the copper oxides intersected 1-2km to the east of BM7, support an interpretation of a potential synformal structure.

During the quarter, a drilling campaign of three 800m spaced drillholes was planned in conjunction with Antofagasta plc. These initial diamond holes are planned to test the area down dip and to the east of high grade copper sulphide mineralisation in EPT1719 (Figures 3 & 4) and have been designed to confirm the broad scale geological model and provide lithogeochemical and structural vectors to high grade copper sulphide mineralisation. These initial holes will be completed during April-May 2014 with assay results expected in June-July 2014.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2014

This initial drilling will also provide the first diamond drilling at the BM7 East regolith anomaly. This is a laterally extensive +0.5% copper anomaly that extends over 2km in strike.

A further two diamond drillholes are planned for June 2014 on section 7540100mN (800m north of EPT1719), and drill sites will be finalised pending the results from the first three drillholes.

A heritage survey was completed in April 2014 to facilitate the drilling for the first half of the 2014 field season.

BM7 East

Shallow RC drilling to the east of the previous known mineralisation at BM7 resulted in the discovery of the BM7 East regolith anomaly (Figure 3 & 4) in the second half of 2013. The copper oxide blanket discovered contains zones of high grade copper oxide mineralisation and the laterally extensive 0.5% copper regolith anomaly extends over 2km in strike. Intersections from the BM7 East area include:

  • EPT1820 - 34m @ 0.4% Cu from 52m incl. 8m @ 0.9% Cu from 54m

  • EPT1844 - 18m @ 0.4% Cu from 46m incl. 6m @ 0.7% Cu from 54m

  • EPT1726 - 18m @ 0.4% Cu from 38m incl. 2m @ 1.2% Cu from 46m

  • EPT1734 - 22m @ 0.2% Cu from 42m incl. 2m @ 1.2% Cu from 58m

The BM7 East copper anomalism sits at the base of the weathered zone and is potentially more significant than the initial copper oxide discovery to the west along the McKay Fault (see Figure 3). The tenor and scale of the metal anomalism at BM7 East is significant and it is interpreted to have resulted from the direct weathering of a body, or bodies of copper sulphide mineralisation.

Further RC drilling is planned for the BM7 East area to infill the current section spacing (800m) in search of near surface high grade copper oxide mineralisation. This program is scheduled to commence in June 2014.

BM8 Prospect

(Reported pursuant to the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code)

Recent RC drilling at BM7 indicates the 14km long copper system that parallels the McKay Fault zone is strengthening to the south and remains open.

During the September 2013 quarter, a total of 18 shallow RC holes were drilled at the BM8 prospect for a total of 1,478m. These holes returned copper anomalism that was strengthening towards the western end of the drill lines. In addition, the drill lines stepping south from BM7 extended its footprint by a further 3km south towards BM8.

A review of the regional gravity data suggests that the McKay Fault may be located further to the west than the interpreted location from the electro magnetic data. This interpretation implies that the BM8 drill lines should be extended to the west. A heritage survey was competed in April 2014 to extend the drill lines at BM8 further to the west to enable RC/aircore drilling to be completed later in 2014.

BM2 Prospect (Encounter 100%)

(Refer ASX announcement 13 December 2013 for BM2 JORC 2012 disclosures, unless otherwise referenced).The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcement and the form and context of the announcement have not been materially modified.

The BM2 prospect is located on the regionally-extensive Tabletop Fault. This structure is known to be metallogenically important and is closely associated with the position of the Nifty copper deposit, 50km along strike to the north-west (Figure 1). Previous aircore drilling defined a broad zone of copper anomalism (+0.25% Cu) over a strike extent of 800m (Figure 8). The identification of this significant base metal anomaly was made in an area of no outcrop, with up to 20m of transported overburden.

Figure 8 – BM2 Prospect – Drill status plan and geochemical summary.

Drill hole EPT1140, collared in the core of the regolith copper anomaly (April 2012), returned the first sulphide copper intersection at BM2 of 26m @ 0.60% Cu from 100m incl. 10m @ 0.92% Cu from 100m

Diamond drill hole EPT1174 (May 2012) was designed to test for copper sulphide mineralisation at depth below EPT1140. EPT1174 intersected a broad zone of carbonate alteration and veining in a shale unit that contained visible zinc and lead sulphides. Assay results include 201m @ 0.6% Zn from 233m to end of hole including 13m @ 1.3% Zn from 295m; 8m @ 1.5% Zn from 349m; and 29m @ 1.0% Zn from 400m.

(The above exploration results from BM2 are reported pursuant to the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code)

Diamond drilling during the September and December 2013 quarters (co-funded under the WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme) significantly advanced the BM2 prospect with the discovery of high grade zinc and silver at the prospect. During this period three holes were drilled at BM2 for a total of 1,824m. These holes were drilled on the north-south cross section 388,950mE (see Figure 9).

Figure 9– BM2 Prospect – Schematic Section.

Diamond drill hole EPT1831 (October 2013) intersected a number of zones of highly oxidized, iron rich material containing elevated zinc within an overall downhole length of 140m (Photo 2). Assay results of this gossanous zone are listed in Table 2. These zones graded approximately 1.2% zinc and sit at the contact between the brecciated carbonate and a sulphidic black shale. The ironstone, which starts from a depth of 175m, is interpreted to represent the weathered remnants of a significant body of zinc sulphide mineralisation.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2014

mineralisation (sphalerite) is located 200m down-dip from the top of the iron rich gossanous material in EPT1831. The zinc sulphide mineralisation sits within a wide shear zone at the contact between carbonaceous shale and a brecciated dolomite adjacent and parallel to the Tabletop Fault (Figure 8). Drillhole EPT1854 is the first hole to test the shale/dolomite mineralised contact below the base of oxidation. Previous shallow aircore and RC drilling along the mineralised contact has intersected Znanomalism over a strike length of 2km which remains open to the south-east (Figure 8).

Chemical assays from these zones combined have returned 0.7m @ 36.5% Zn and 37g/t Ag and have confirmed the high grade zinc/silver potential of the mineral system at BM2. The massive zinc/silver sulphide mineralisation discovered at BM2 remains open in all directions providing obvious follow up drill targets.

Photo 3 - EPT1854 – ~428.3 to 431.6m – 0.3m and 0.1m wide zones of brecciated and laminated massive zinc sulphide mineralisation.

The Company believes there is a strong genetic link between the broad zones of shale hosted, low grade zinc / lead mineralisation drilled in EPT 1174 to the south of the shale/carbonate contact and the high grade zinc sulphide mineralisation drilled in EPT1854. During the March 2014 quarter results from sulphur isotope analysis of the two styles of sulphide mineralisation were received and confirmed the two were the product of the same mineralising fluid / event.

The 2014 diamond drilling program at BM2 commenced in April. The initial hole in the program was recently completed and was designed to test the up dip position of high grade zinc sulphide mineralisation intersected in EPT1854. The hole intersected a similar alteration zone and anomalous zinc levels (confirmed by handheld Niton XRF) were noted at the carbonate/shale contact but no massive zinc sulphide mineralization was observed. Assay results for this hole will be reported in the June 2014 quarter.

Additional drilling at BM2 is planned for the second half of the year and will test the shale / carbonate contact at the interpreted intersection with an anomalously thick package of shale sediments (the Millenium Target, Figure 10). It is interpreted this position represents the intersection of the key mineralizing structure and margin of a sub basin within the Broadhurst sediments.

Regional Exploration

(Reported pursuant to the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code)

The success of the copper exploration program at the Yeneena project and the discovery of a large copper-cobalt mineral system at BM1-BM6BM7 has encouraged Encounter to expand the early stage assessment activities over the untested regional copper targets.

A 1,250 line km airborne VTEM survey was completed over the regional targets located in the northwest of the Yeneena project during June 2013. Approximately 500 line km of the survey was completed over the Antofagasta plc earn in tenements and the remaining 750 line km over ground held 100% by Encounter. Final data and images from the VTEM survey were delivered in September 2013 and highlighted a number of targets along the NE structural corridors (Figure 11).

The first reconnaissance drilling along the NE structural corridor was completed during the September 2013 quarter with the objective of identifying evidence of copper mineralising fluids. Eight shallow RC drill holes were competed to provide initial sub-surface geochemical and geological information along this NE structural corridor Chemical analysis of this drilling has confirmed low level but significant copper anomalism is present along this splay structure between the McKay and Vines Faults, which includes the Fishhook target. Encouragingly, initial results indicate that this NE structural corridor may have seen similar copper mineralising fluids to the BM1-BM6-BM7 trend located 20km south.

==> picture [281 x 464] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11: Preliminary VTEM – NE Structural Corridor

During the December 2013 quarter Encounter was awarded a WA Government Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) drilling grant for $150,000 to complete initial deeper drilling of the Fishhook target on the NE structural corridor. The first systematic exploration along the highly prospective NE structural corridor will commence in the September 2014 quarter.

Hammer Earn-in – ENR earning in from Hammer Metals Ltd (formerly Midas Resources Ltd) (E45/3768 and E45/4091)

(Reported pursuant to the 2004 Edition of the JORC Code)

A 560 line km airborne VTEM survey for the area of the Hammer Earn-in tenements will commence in April 2014 with initial results reported in the June 2014 quarter. The survey will provide information about the conductivity and magnetic variability of the basement rocks in this area of extensive sand cover.

An initial interpretation of the available airborne geophysical data indicates the prospective structures and Broadhurst lithologies extend northwest from Fishhook into the Hammer Earn-in tenements. Historical exploration along the prospective trend is limited to a shallow RAB drilling program completed in the 1980s that intersected anomalous copper oxide mineralisation at Lookout Rocks.

CORPORATE

Antofagasta to continuing the earn-in agreement into 2014

In January 2014, Antofagasta advised that it will be continuing the earn-in agreement at the Yeneena project into the second year. Antofagasta is required to spend a minimum of US$4M in the second year to maintain the earn-in. The second year of the earn-in commences in April 2014 and the majority of the year 2 expenditure will be completed in the upcoming field season (April – November 2014).

The Company held cash reserves at $3.1m at 31 March 2014 and received a further $1.9m contribution in April 2014 under the Antofagasta earn-in which will cover the majority of the planned June 2014 quarter exploration expenditure.

NEXT QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2014

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
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 BM2 project was sampled using Diamond Drilling (DD),
with a total of three drill holes drilled for 1895m. The
diamond drill program was drilled on a north – south section
at a spacing of 250 – 500m.
Onsite handheld Niton XRF instruments were used to
systematically analyse diamond drill core, with a single
reading taken at every meter mark, except in the case of
core loss. The host lithologies were targeted and veins and
obvious signs of mineralisation avoided. These results are
only used for onsite interpretation and the analyses are not
reported.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Drill hole collar locations were recorded by handheld GPS,
which has an estimated accuracy of +/- 5m.
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 (e.g.
‘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 (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed
information
Diamond core was drilled with PQ, HQ and NQ2 size and
sampled as half core or fillet to produce a bulk sample for
analysis. Intervals varied from 0.1 – 4m and were selected
on the basis of interpreted geological boundaries, degree of
mineralisation during geological logging, core loss and the
results of systematic handheld Niton XRF sampling.
These samples were sent to Ultratrace Laboratories in
Perth, where they were dried, crushed, pulverised and split
to produce a sub – sample for ICP – OES and ICP – MS
analysis.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. 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).
Diamond drilling accounts for 100% of the program. Drill
holes were completed using PQ and HQ triple tube and
conventional NQ2 sized core. HQ and NQ core was
orientated where possible.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed
Diamond core recoveries/core loss was recorded during
drilling and noted during geological logging. Significant core
loss occurred in EPT1831 whilst no significant sample
recovery problems are thought to have occurred in any other
holes drilled during the BM2 diamond drilling program.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples
Driller’s used appropriate measures to maximise diamond
sample recovery, including the use of triple tube drilling.
Core loss was recorded by ENRL geologists and sampling
intervals were not carried through core loss.
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.
To date, no detailed analysis to determine the relationship
between sample recovery and/or and grade has been
undertaken for this diamond drill program.

QUARTERLY REPORT MARCH 2014

Criteria JORC Code explanation
Commentary
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.
Geological logging was carried out on all diamond drillholes,
with lithology, alteration, mineralisation, structure and
veining recorded. Where core was orientated, structural
measurements were taken.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
Geological logging is qualitative in nature and records
interpreted lithology, alteration, mineralisation, structure,
veining and other features of the samples.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged
All drillholes were logged in full with the exception of a
single diamond drill hole pre-collar (EPT1854), which was
rock rolled from surface to a depth of 105.1m.
Sub-sampling techniques
and sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
Diamond core was cut on site and in Perth by Encounter
Resources Ltd using automatic core saws. Diamond core
will be either half-cored or filleted depending on the degree
of mineralisation identified during geological logging and
systematic handheld Niton XRF sampling. Samples are
collected from the same side of the core.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
Not applicable.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Sample preparation will be completed at Ultratrace
Laboratories in Perth. Samples were dried, crushed,
pulverised (90% passing at a ≤75µM size fraction) and split
into a sub – sample that was analysed using a 4 acid digest
with an ICP – OES and ICP – MS finish.
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Field QC procedures involve the use of commercial certified
reference material (CRMs) for assay standards and in
house blanks. The insertion rate of these averaged 1:33.
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 duplicates/second half sampling were utilised during this
diamond drilling program.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
The sample sizes were considered appropriate to give an
accurate indication of base metal anomalism and
mineralisation at BM2.
Quality of assay data 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 samples will be digested and refluxed with hydrofluoric,
nitric, hydrochloric and perchloric acids (four acid digest).
This digest is considered to approach a total digest for many
elements, although some refractory minerals are not
completely digested. Analytical methods used were ICP –
OES (Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, S, Zn, Tl and Ti) and
ICP – MS (Ag, As, Bi, Mo, Pb, U and Co). Internal
laboratory QC procedures highlighted original analysis of
samples EX189702 and EX189704 as potentially
underestimating zinc grade due to partial digest of the
sample. As a result these two samples were re-analysed
using a sodium peroxide fusion digest to ensure complete
digestion of the sample material. The results for the fusion
digest are contained within this report.
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.
Two handheld XRF instruments were used to systematically
analyse onsite. The principal instrument used was a Thermo
Scientific XL3t 950 GOLDD+. A Thermo Scientific XL3t 500
GOLDD+ was also used infrequently. Reading times ranged
from 20 – 25 seconds. The instruments are serviced and
calibrated at least once a year.

Quality of assay data and
laboratory tests
continued
Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.
Laboratory QAQC involved the use of internal lab standards
using certified reference material, blanks, splits and
replicates as part of in house procedures. The Company
also submitted an independent suite of CRMs, blanks and
field duplicates (see above).
Verification of sampling
and assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
Results contained within this announcement have been
verified by James Purchase – Senior Exploration Geologist.
The use of twinned holes.
No twinned holes were drilled at BM2 during this drill
program.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Primary data was collected for the BM2 project by hand on
printed forms and on toughbook computers using Excel
templates and Maxwell Geoservice’s LogChief software.
Data collected was sent offsite to the Company’s Database
(Datashed software), which is backed up daily.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
No adjustments or calibrations will be made to any assay
data collected at BM2.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drillholes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Drill hole collar locations are determined using a handheld
GPS.
Down hole surveys used single shot readings during drilling.
These were taken at approximately every 30m downhole.
Specification of the grid system used.
The grid system used is MGA_GDA94, zone 51.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
Estimated RLs were assigned during drilling and are to be
corrected using VTEM data at a later stage.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
The diamond drill program was drilled on a north – south
section at a spacing of 250 – 500m.
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 estimation
procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
Mineralisation at BM2 has not yet demonstrated to be
sufficient in both geological and grade continuity appropriate
for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications to be applied.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Compositing of intervals of up to 4m was applied to the BM2
diamond core samples.
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, considering the deposit type.
The orientation of key structures and any relationship to
mineralisation at BM2 has yet to be identified.
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 sampling bias resulting from a structural orientation is
known to occur at BM2 at this stage.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
The chain of custody is managed by the Company. Samples
are delivered by Encounter personnel to the Ultratrace
assay laboratory in Perth.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
Sampling techniques and procedures are regularly reviewed
internally, as is data. To date, no external audits have been
completed on BM2.

a 100% interest in the tenements. These two
tenements are subject to 1.5% Net Smelter Royalty

in the area of work.
Exploration done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
Exploration prior to Encounter in the region was
minimal and limited to shallow RAB and some
percussion drilling completed in the mid – 2000s,
much of which had been incompletely sampled,
assayed, and logged. Historically samples were
mostly composited into large intervals. This early
work was focused on gold rather than base metal
exploration.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation
BM2 is situated in the Proterozoic Paterson
Province of Western Australia. A simplified regional
stratigraphy of the area comprises the Palaeo-
Proterozoic Rudall Complex, unconformably
overlain by the Neo-Proterozoic Coolbro
Sandstone. On top of this is the Broadhurst
Formation, which hosts the BM2 prospect. The
BM2 project is considered prospective for SEDEX
– style Zn, Pb and Cu mineralisation. Anomalism
and mineralisation observed to date at BM2
includes a large base metal (Zn, Pb and Cu)
regolith anomaly as well as primary sulphide
mineralisation at depth. Significantly, an apparent
association between Zn – Pb mineralisation and a
shallowly NNW dipping siderite alteration envelope
adjacent to the regionally extensive Tabletop has
been identified to occur in the area.
