Cautionary Statement
The Exploration Targets reported within this announcement are not Mineral Resources. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource. There is no certainty that additional exploration work will result in the estimation and reporting of Mineral Resources.

Exploration Upside – Eastern Margin
■ Located on the ~10km long highly prospective Eastern Margin
■ Immediate along strike of the Howards Deposit (200koz – owned by HRN)
■ 1.8km long coincident gold-silver anomaly
- Requires 1[st] pass aircore drill testing

-
Target gold deposit styles based on Kanowna Belle and Wallaby analogues.
-
Provide critical information to develop exploration concepts for follow-up work at the Flametree VHMS copper-zinc-gold system
