Broad, depth extensive, zone of stockwork style gold mineralisation incl:

38.6m @ 1.0g/t Au from 333m (incl. 4.2m @ 3.2g/t Au from 333.5m) and

  • 36m @ 0.6g/t Au from 396m (incl. 3.2m @ 3.3g/t Au from 415.2m)

Thick mineralised package discovered at the Egg Prospect may extend to surface and is open along strike and at depth.

Reef Style Gold at East Thomson’s Dome

  • Additional high grade reefs have been identified that remain open down dip and along strike

  • Located 5km north-west of Telfer

Regional soil geochemistry has identified a large scale (+2km) gold anomaly adjacent to historical gold occurrences adding scale potential to the project.

RC/diamond drill program to commence in June 2017 immediately following the next phase of drilling at Telfer West

==> picture [444 x 283] intentionally omitted <==

  • Surface prospecting has also found gold nuggets interpreted to be shedding from nearby outcropping quartz veins at East Thomson’s

==> picture [43 x 22] intentionally omitted <==

Historical shallow exploration in the 1990s on one of the reefs discovered high grade gold including intersections:

  • 4m @ 29 g/t Au from 31m in NTR 5

  • 2m @ 33 g/t Au from 22m in NTR 12

  • 10m @ 9.8 g/t Au from 16m in NTR 17

  • 2m @ 76.2 g/t Au from 35m in NTR 57

  • 7m @ 17.1 g/t Au from 16m in NTR 61

70km Long Copper-Cobalt Corridor South of Nifty

Central African Copperbelt is one of the world’s largest sources of copper and the world’s largest source of cobalt

Proterozoic aged, sediment hosted deposits similar age and geological setting to the Yeneena basin in WA

  • Multiple mineralisation styles:

  • 14km long copper Nifty style mineral system at BM1-BM7

  • IOCG style intrusion containing copper sulphides at Aria

  • First reductant Zambian copperbelt analogous mineralisation at Lookout Rocks

Actively seeking major project partner

Cobalt-Copper Opportunities at Yeneena

BM7 - A +600 long zone of near surface cobalt mineralisation untested at depth. Includes intersection of 9m @ 1.0% Co and 1.5% Cu from 42m to EOH

  • BM1 - The coherent zone of copper oxide mineralisation includes several high grade cobalt intersections including 14m @ 0.45% Co and 0.38% Cu from 14m

Lookout Rocks - The recently identified gossan at Lookout Rocks where surface rock chip sampling returned cobalt grades up to 0.19% Co and 0.22% Cu

==> picture [309 x 445] intentionally omitted <==

14

==> picture [140 x 108] intentionally omitted <==

Copper-Cobalt gossan discovered at Lookout Rocks

  • First diamond drill hole intersected copper sulphide mineralisation, up to 1% Cu

80m long in-situ gossan (grading up to 0.22% Cu & 0.19% Co) located 800m SW of first diamond hole

==> picture [244 x 96] intentionally omitted <==

  • Copper hosted by black, reduced carbonaceous sediments, located above oxidised “red bed” stratigraphic unit - Zambian copper-belt analogous

==> picture [201 x 287] intentionally omitted <==

  • In-situ copper gossan identified

  • Drill testing in Jun-Jul 2017

The Investment Case

  • Advanced gold projects - high grade, near surface, scale potential, known district, near infrastructure

  • New gold discovery at Telfer West made in April 2017

  • Exposure to large scale copper-cobalt and zinc exploration upside

  • Large land position in district with proven fertility and active majors (~2000km[2]

  • Tight capital structure - risk sharing at appropriate points to maximise return for ENR shareholders

  • Leading global resources funds on register (Sprott, RCF, Thorney, Eye Investment Fund)

  • Drilling to test advanced targets recommencing May 2017
