WCB Resources Limited:
Forward Looking Statements: This presentation includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward‐looking statements". All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, including, without limitation, statements potential mineralization, the estimation of mineral resources, the realization of mineral resource estimates, interpretation of prior exploration and potential exploration results, the timing and success of exploration activities generally, the timing and results of future resource estimates, permitting time lines, metal prices and currency exchange rates, availability of capital, government regulation of exploration operations, environmental risks, reclamation, title, and future plans and objectives of the company are forward‐looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. . Although the Company believes the expectations expressed in such forward‐looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially from those in the forward‐looking statements. Forward‐looking statements are based on a number of material factors and assumptions. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward‐looking statements include failure to obtain necessary approvals in respect of the transaction, unsuccessful exploration results, changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined, results of future resource estimates, future metal prices, availability of capital and financing on acceptable terms, general economic, market or business conditions, risks associated with operating in foreign jurisdictions, uninsured risks, regulatory changes, defects in title, availability of personnel, materials and equipment on a timely basis, accidents or equipment breakdowns, delays in receiving government approvals, unanticipated environmental impacts on operations and costs to remedy same, and other exploration or other risks detailed herein and from time to time in the filings made by the companies with securities regulators. Mineral exploration and development of mines is an inherently risky business. Accordingly the actual events may differ materially from those projected in the forward‐looking statements. For more information on the Company, investors should review their annual filings that are available at www.sedar.com.
Cameron Switzer, BSc (Hons) MAIG, MAUSIMM, President and CEO, is the Qualified Person as defined under NI 43‐101, with respect to the technical information contained herein.
GBM Resources Limited:

Scoping Study disclaimer
GBM has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward looking statements that relate to the Eugenia Scoping Study that are included in this . presentation. The detailed reasons for that conclusion
are outlined in ASX announcement dated 23 August 2016, which has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) and the ASX Listing Rules. The Company advises that the Production Targets and Forecast Financial Information contained in the Eugenia Scoping Study in this announcement are
preliminary in nature as the conclusions are based, in part, on low‐level technical and economic assessments, and are insufficient to support the estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide an assurance of economic development at this stage. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral used in this report and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the Production Target itself will be realised. The stated Production Target is based on the Company’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.
The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the production target and forecast financial information contained in the Company's ASX announcement released on 23 August 2016 continue to apply and have not materially changed

GBM Resources ( Refer ASX Announcement 16 February 2017)
With respect to the reporting of mineral resources estimates for the Misima Island Project, the Company provides the following information pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 5.12:
The Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimates have been extracted from the National Instrument 43‐101 Independent Technical Report published by WCB Resources Limited on 18 June 2015. National Instrument resource categories are identical to JORC 2012 resource categories.
The Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimates are considered by GBM Resources Limited to be both relevant and of significant materiality to the proposed merger transaction as they comprise the key asset of WCB Resources. The opportunity for the merged entity to include 49% equity (with the opportunity to increase to 70%) of a project with a total resource in excess of 1.6 Mozs of gold is considered highly significant. Misima will represent over 66% of the resources (based on contained gold) of the merged group.
GBM Resources Limited considers the Misima Island Mineral Resource to be reliable for reporting purposes as initially reported in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43‐101. There is no other information in the opinion of the Company that is required to be considered in understanding the reliability of the Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimate. Descriptions concerning work programs, data reliability, mining and processing parameters and methods relating to resource estimate including future funding requirements are described in detail in the National Instrument 43‐101 Independent Technical Report published by WCB Resources Limited on 18 June 2015.
A summary of the work programs on which the Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimate is based is included in the National Instrument 43‐101 Independent Technical Report published by WCB Resources Limited on 18 June 2015 Drilling of the Umuna Zone was conducted between 1978 and 2000 by Placer (PNG) Pty Ltd and another Placer subsidiary Misima Mines Pty Ltd. Barrack provided the drillhole data to WCB which was used for the current Mineral Resource estimate. Drillhole data was is available for 2380 drillholes and trenches (144) with files for; surveys, assays and geology. In addition, blasthole data for the Umuna deposit was provided by the Centre for Computational Geostatistics, University of Alberta and was used as an independent data set for completing validation checks against the new resource model as well as providing additional control data for the “as mined surface”. Additional support and documentation including original drill logs, assay sheets survey sheets, core photographs, monthly production records, monthly mining reports, reconciliation reports, site survey data, mining consultants reports, mill records and environmental data were also located by WCB from storage in Townsville.
GBM Resources Limited is not aware of any recent estimates or data relevant to the Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimate other than as included in the National Instrument 43‐101 Independent Technical Report published by WCB Resources Limited on 18 June 2015. GBM Resources Limited review of the Misima resource estimate and data upon which it is based concluded that all work has been carried out to either expected or better than expected industry standards in the context of that expected historically and in the realm of modern Nat Inst 43‐101 / JORC 2012 reporting expectations. It is the company’s view that work required to verify the Misima Island Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5a (JORC Code 2012) will be limited to reviewing available data and summarising into JORC Table 1 format.
GBM Resources Limited intends, upon successful completion of the proposed merger, to undertake complete further geological interpretation and drilling to support re‐estimation of the Misima Resource commencing from July 2017. Following this the company intends to progress a detailed scoping study to evaluate the potential recommencement of gold mining on the Misima Island gold project.
WCB Resources
While WCB’s resource estimates for the Misima project have been prepared in accordance the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council, GBM’s resources have been prepared in accordance with JORC 2012 and may not be in accordance with the CIM. Investors are further cautioned that, except for that portion of the mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic value. Inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can ever be upgraded to a higher category that can be economically or legally mined. Estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of an economic analysis. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category.
The Company cautions investors that until such time as GBM’s mineral resource estimates are supported by technical reports prepared in compliance with NI 43‐101, such estimates should not be relied upon.
The Company cautions that GBM has not yet established the economic viability of its projects or proposed operations thereon and the implication of the economic viability of GBM’s projects is not permitted by National Instrument 43‐101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43‐101”). No mineral reserves have been estimated for GBM’s projects which would support a production decision. Projects which are put into production without first establishing mineral reserves supported by a technical report and completing a feasibility study, historically have a much higher risk of economic or technical failure. Additionally, a preliminary economic assessment has not been prepared in respect of GBM’s projects. Until such time as GBM’s projects are supported by a PEA prepared in accordance with NI 43‐101 all disclosures concerning the advanced stage of or economic viability or results of such projects should not be relied upon.

Key Focus on Gold and Gold Production
Mount Coolon
- Targeting Gold production in Q4 2017. Aim to continue to deliver further resources and enhance gold production capacity
Misima
-
WCB’s current interest is 49% ( 823,000 ounces) in the Misima Project which the project has a total gold resource of 1.68 million ounces. WCB can earn a further 21% in the Misima Project by spending AUD$2.5m, hence WCB’s moving to 70% equates to 1.18 million ounces an increase of 357,000 ounces on WCB’s current interest in the gold resource.
-
Targeting upgrading of gold resource with financial sensitivity analysis leading to resource extension drilling, metallurgical sampling, geotechnical assessment, environmental assessment, social and hydrology impacts. Aim to have Pre Feasibility (PEA) delivered by Q4 2018
Other Key value Drivers
-
Lubuk Mandi Gold Project Malaysia – significant equity interest in SGX listed Anchor Resources, optionality on gold potential upside
-
Mt Morgan Project – large recently identified untested polymetallic IRGD anomalies along with numerous porphyry Cu Au centres adjacent the 8M oz Au Mt Morgan deposit
-
Milo Project – Large IOCG breccia pipe with significant REE (Rare Earth Elements) mineralisation
-
Cloncurry Exploration – PPC JV and regional exploration targets including extensions of Trekelano Cu and Tick Hill Gold potential
Foreign Estimate Disclaimer
With respect to the Misima Project Resource estimate, the Company advises that:
-
the estimates are foreign estimates and are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code;
-
a competent person has not done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimates as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code; and Chapter 5 Additional reporting on mining and oil and gas production and exploration activities; and
-
it is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the foreign estimates will be able to be reported as mineral resources or ore reserves in accordance with the JORC Code.

Table; Mount Coolon Gold Project Global Resource Summary (Refer ASX announcement 23 August 2016).
Exploration Target – Bimurra Prospect (See ASX:GBZ 21[st] September 2015)
Exploration target at the Bimurra Prospect of between 10 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.7 g/t Au containing an estimated 230,000 ounces of gold and 4 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.2 g/t Au containing an estimated 120,000 ounces of gold has been estimated. It should be noted that the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
