The above comparison groups entities reported under JORC and other foreign codes, such as Canada's NI43-101. While the Company considers the other codes to be sufficiently similar to allow for high level comparisons of resource size and grade, investors should not place undue reliance on the comparability of resources reported under foreign codes.

Pickle Crow is comparatively under-explored in comparison to the Kundana goldfield

The Kundana Analogy

Pickle Crow exhibits key similarities to the prolific Kundana Camp in Western Australia (>9Moz):

  • Deposit Type (Archean ZULEIKA SHEAR ZONE, KUNDANA orogenic vein)

  • Host Rocks (mafic sequence with interflow sediments, proximal to conglomerates)

  • Structural Architecture (multi-phased history with sub parallel shear zones, Riedel shear geometries)

RALEIGH VEIN, KUNDANA
