3. Financial Assurance

The current Financial Assurance of A$1 million (meaning the sum provided as environmental security pursuant to the Mineral Resources Act 1989, Queensland) will be replaced on the transfer of the Twin Hill tenements to GBM.

The Twin Hills Gold Deposits (refer GBZ ASX full Release dated 18 January 2019)

The Twin Hills deposits are estimated to contain 6.9 million tonnes at an average grade of 2.8 g/t Au for 633,000 ounces of contained gold.

The 309 and Lone Sister gold deposits of Twin Hills are located 7 kilometres apart and linked by a major north-south structural lineament. Both deposits have previously been interpreted as intrusion related, high gold fineness, low sulphidation epithermal gold deposits, sometimes exhibiting bonanza gold grades (as evidenced by the peak gold value in the 309 deposit of 2,940 g/t Au , with 300 individual metre samples exceeding 30g/t Au, and a peak gold value of 939 g/t Au at Lone Sister ).

The JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimates for the Twin Hills gold deposits and combined with the Mount Coolon Gold Project ( MCGP ) now contain, an estimated 960,000 ounces of gold.

Both the existing MCGP deposits (Koala, Glen Eva and Eugenia) and the Twin Hills deposits (309 and Lone Sister) are considered by GBM to hold significant exploration upside.

Table 1 below summarises the MCGP gold resources, including Twin Hills. (Refer ASX announcement 4 December 2017 for information relating to the Koala, Glen Eva and Eugenia resource estimates).
