These are the highest manganese grade rock chip samples I have seen in my career and once the tenement is formally granted, we will look to define the extent and grade of manganese mineralisation already identified. �

� However, it is important to note we remain focused on the recently announced Rapid Development Program at our flagship Oakover Manganese project, which is evaluating low capital and fast start-up potential options. Data from the current drill campaign, beneficiation testing and logistics work will feed into a Pre-Feasibility Study to determine the best path�a� to market.�

Raggard Hills Overview:

Raggard Hills consists of a single exploration licence application covering an area of 25.6km[2] . The project is located in the Eastern Pilbara Region of Western Australia, 280km south-east of Port Hedland. The world class Woodie Woodie Manganese Mine is located 33km SSW of the Project.

The basement to the project is comprised of Archaean granites and gneisses. These are unconformably overlain by rocks of the Fortescue Group including basalt, sandstones, shales, dolomites, cherts, and felsic volcanic.

The basement consists of Archaean granitoids and greenstone which crop out in places. The Gregory Granitic Complex underlies much of the area. It has been divided into the following three units:

  • Felsic lava of the Koongaling volcanics

  • Intrusive granophyre equivalent of these volcanics

  • Southern granite Complex

The basement rocks are unconformably overlain by the Fortescue Group (mafic volcanics, volcanoclastics and clastic sediments) which is, in turn, overlain by the Hamersley Group (predominantly clastic sediments).

The Hamersley Group is subdivided in to the lower 60m thick Marra Mamba Iron Formation (chert, shale, BIFs and jaspilite) and the upper 150m thick Carawine Dolomite (stromatolitic carbonate sequence with intercalated chert beds, veins and nodules). Secondary silicification of the Carawine Dolomite under subaerial conditions has led to the widespread formation of the Mesoproterozoic Pinjian Chert Breccia. The Manganese Group consists of upward fining sediments that unconformably overlie or are faulted against the Hamersley and Fortescue Groups. These sediments are considered to be rift filling or shelf deposits and are correlated with the Bangemall Basin sediments to the south and west.

The Balfour sub basin sequence is characterised by extensive folding with steep dips.

These include remnants of Permian glacial sediments (Patterson Formation). Tertiary rocks include silcretes, calcretes, calcareous sandstones, chert breccias, laterite and ferruginous duricrusts.

The objective was to identify targets warranting drill testing which may be analogous to the Woodie Woodie style of mineralisation and geological setting as illustrated in Figure 3. It is interpreted that the fault hosted mineralisation represents a feeder structure which has acted as a mineralisation conduit.

It is noted a RC hole was drilled just north of the northern rock chip sample location. Although no significant manganese mineralisation was intersected in the hole, the hole still needs to be placed into the regional geological context to determine its relevance. ABN: 24 610 035 535

JORC Code explanation
�Not applicable as reporting results of rock chip sampling. �Not applicable as reporting results of rock chip sampling. �Rock chip samples were collected manually from a small zone of
manganese mineralisation in outcropping dolomite. Samples were
collected from the surface, however the quantity of material collected
is unknown.
�Several rock chip samples were collected over an approximate
2,000 m2area. Even though it has not been reported, the number of
samples collected would increase the representivity of the reported
samples.
�Samples were dried, crushed, ring pulverised and analysed by X-Ray
Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF). The elements determined by XRF
were Al2O3, Ba, CaO, Cr, Cu, Fe, K2O, MgO, Mn, P, Pb, SO3, SiO2,
TiO2, V2O5, Zn. Loss on Ignition results were determined using a TGA
system. Furnaces in the system were set to 1,000 degrees Celsius.
�The Competent Person (CP) considers that the sample techniques
adopted were appropriate for the style of mineralisation and for
reportingof an Exploration Result.

�Not applicable as no drill results being reported. �Manganese mineralisation in the eastern Pilbara is hosted by the
Jeerinah Formation, Carawine Dolomite and parts of the Manganese
Subgroup. The exploration model used for ELA45/5905 is based on
Woodie Woodie, where manganese mineralisation forms as
replacement of the host Carawine Dolomite in an interpreted inverted
graben structure. Deposits are typically 10 m to 50 m wide by 50 m to
200 m long with typical thicknesses of 20 m to 40 m. They form as
either fault‐fill, steeply dipping narrow bodies, or as bedding
replacement, flat tabular bodies, or combinations of the two to form
large �f�nnel� shaped bodies.
�Historic exploration of relevance has been undertaken by Pilbara
Manganese Pty Ltd.
�Work completed within ELA 45/5905 consisted of rock chip sampling
and RC drilling. The majority of the work undertaken was regional

Data
aggregation
methods
Criteria
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known�).
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
_should be clearly stated. _
JORC Code explanation
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
�No significant manganese mineralisation was intersected in the hole. �Collar details of a relevant RC hole drilled by Pilbara Manganese Pty
