- Well known & understood mineralisation style
• Extensive early investigation work already completed
-
More than 15 , 000 metres drilled
-
Mining Leases Granted
-
Significant Exploration Upside
• Average hole depth at Wandoo (100m) & Empire (53m)
- Red Dome has proven depth continuity to >1000m
• Late Carboniferous Intrusions (mineralisation source) shown in red
- Locations of the intrusions is independent of the host rock

Project Background
==> picture [169 x 50] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [169 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
-
Historical Mining in the 1930’s produced approximately 2,000 ‐ 5 , 000oz g old and 7 , 500 ‐ 12 , 000oz silver
-
Last ‘systematic’ exploration carried out late 1990’s
-
Kidston Gold Mines Ltd and Normandy – Mt Leyshon Joint Ventured into th e pro ec j t o b th recogn se i d th e s m i il ar iti es o t th e r own epos i d it s
-
– Kidston in 1999 used $300/oz gold and $5/oz silver to calculate gold equivalents for their evaluations
-
Premier Mining acquired the project in 2002
-
As a private group they are not required to define JORC compliant resources and were working towards development based on shallow drillhole intersections
-
Metallurgical Studies undertaken
-

Stage 1
- Collate all previous drilling information into a coherent digital database (COMPLETE)
⁻ 223 holes for >15,000m of drilling
Stage 2
- Confirm position and grades of existing ‘discovery’ intersections at Wandoo and Empire with follow‐up drilling
Stage 3
- Drilling ‐ Define size and grade of known discoveries
Stage 4
- Resource definition
