PROJECT START-UP PRE-REQUISITES

CONFIRM RESOURCE TECHICALS
Grade control drilling - interim assessment based on 70% of programme.
| AIM | OUTCOME |
|---|---|
| Validate contained metal in the resource beneath the pit floor. |
Achieved. The 2004 Feasibility Study resource model is a good indicator of contained metal. |
| Obtain correct understanding of tonnes and grade mix. |
Achieved. Modelling confirms the tonnage and grade profile of the 2004 Feasibility Study resource model, but clearly indicates the capacity of the orebody to be mined to higher cut-off grades. |
| Define high grade structures. |
Geological interpretations have so far indicated that the high grade reefs are the dominant high grade structures and that other controls for high grade mineralisation have not yet been identified. |

|---|---|
| Infill gaps in resource drilling database, thereby adding contained metal. |
Drilling to nominal 25 x 25 m pattern due for completion by 24 February 2006. |
| Convert inferred mineralisation to indicated. |
New geological resource estimate scheduled for March PAOLOGE |
