Mt Coolon Diamond Drilling Update

• Stage 1 drilling is on schedule with 19 holes now completed for a total of 1,023 metres of diamond drilling.

• Results to date have confirmed the presence of remnant highgrade quartz vein and breccia style mineralisation in a number of locations around the old (circa 1930) underground workings.

• The drilling program forms part of the Study to evaluate recommencement of mining operations at the Koala Gold Mine.

Australian Resources company GBM Resources Limited (ASX: GBZ ) (“ GBM ” or “ the Company ”) wishes to advise that it is nearing completion of the first stage of its diamond drilling program testing the central mineralised zone at the Koala Gold Mine at Mount Coolon, located in the Drummond Basin, Queensland.

The drilling has confirmed the presence of remnant high-grade quartz vein and breccia style mineralisation in a number of locations within a broader halo of intense silica pyrite mineralisation.

Results have now been received for 8 of the 19 holes with the remaining assay results expected to be received progressively from now until the end of November 2016. To date a total of 19 holes and 1,023 metres of drilling has been completed.

The drilling campaign commenced in August on a single rig single shift (for operational safety reasons) basis. Between 4 and 7 holes remain to be drilled depending upon the success of holes in penetrating old mine workings. To date 70% of holes have either successfully passed through old stopes or have not encountered voids from previous mining.

The program is designed to infill historical data through the Koala Lode within the area of old underground workings located along strike of the Ross Mining open pit. Drilling has been designed to test for mineralisation along stope margins and high-grade lode quartz in remnants and along strike from stopes on approximately 50 metre sections. Maximum drill hole target depths have been kept to practical below-surface depths for open pit mining as indicated by preliminary pit optimisations.

The Company expects to be in a position to confirm the intention to proceed with the development of either toll milling or heap leaching the old open pits, along with the progress of the Eugenia Heap Leach or both by the end of the fourth quarter this calendar year.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Important Note:

This Table 1 refers to drilling completed at the Koala Project by MCGM in 2016 only. Drilling and exploration has been carried out at Koala over a 30 year period by a variety of companies using varied drilling, sampling and assaying methods. Table 1 data has previously been reported for historic exploration in the 2016 MCGM Koala Resource Estimate Report.

Geology	• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	•	Auriferous epithermal veining at Koala is hosted in a thick package
			of shallow dipping volcanic flow sheets, which are part of the
			regional Cycle 1 Volcanic sequence (Silver Hills Volcanics). The
			lode lies approximately 500m west of a major granodiorite intrusion
			outcrop and is preferentially hosted by porphyritic andesite. The
			gold mineralisation occurs as a narrow, steeply dipping high grade
			colloform quartz vein a wider lower grade, veinlet stockwork and is
			locally disrupted by faulting. The main vein has been defined by
			drilling over a strike length of about 1200 m and down dip about
			200 m. The main vein is offset by steeply dipping, west-northwest
			striking cross faults with high grade zones formed at the
			intersection of the cross faults and the main vein. The main vein
			changes dip direction along strike. In the south it dips steeply to the
			west, whereas in the north it dips steeply to the east. The main vein
			splits into a series of splayveins at the southern end. The up-dip

		extent of the main vein appears to be limited by a rhyolitic unit
		which results in a gentle north plunge. The main vein thins and
		weakens with depth. A number of alteration styles are evident

		mineralisation.
