Quarterly Activities Report – March 2017

HIGHLIGHTS

Plavica Au-Ag-Cu Project

  • No field work was carried out during the Quarter due to winter snow. Preparations are underway to complete the final holes to upgrade the Plavica resource to indicated status.

  • All results have now been returned from 2016 infill and extensional drilling. Highlights include:

PNRC122: 50m @ 3.77 g/t Au from 21m from the Plavica prospect.

PNDD090: 69m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 68m from the eastern end of the Plavica prospect.

The above results are not included in the Resource model completed in 2016.

EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS DURING THE QUARTER

REPUBLIC OF MACEDONIA

PLAVICA HIGH SULPHIDATION EPITHERMAL GOLD-COPPER-SILVER PROJECT (Figures 1 & 2)

Following the granting of the 30-year Exploitation Licence at Plavica in May 2015, drilling has since focussed on extending and better understanding the previously known mineralisation at both the Plavica and Maricanski Rid prospects with a focus on the oxide gold potential.

There was no drilling during the Quarter due to inclement weather, however the drill rigs are currently on site setting up for a short program of holes to complete the conversion of the JORC compliant resource from ‘inferred’ to ‘indicated’. In addition, the Maricanski Rid prospect remains open to the east and west and a number of holes are planned here to target these areas.

All results outstanding from the end of 2016 drilling were returned and included some holes with better than expected grade. These include:

  • PNRC122: 50m @ 3.77 g/t Au from 21m from the Plavica prospect.PNDD090: 69m @ 1.33 g/t Au from 68m from the eastern end of the Plavica prospect.

As announced to the market o the 19[th] of December 2016, a JORC 2012 compliant resource was released for the Plavica project. The total Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources as at November 2016 are estimated at 65.8 million tonnes (MT) at 0.70 grams per tonne of gold (g/t Au) containing 1.46 million ounces of gold . Contained within this total resource is 31.7 MT @ 0.77 g/t Au for 781,000 Au ounces of oxide and transitional (Pox) material from both the Plavica and Maricanski Rid deposits. Drilling in the June Quarter will upgrade the resource to ‘indicated’. Work is continuing on completing a PreFeasibility Study. Golder Associates have been contracted to complete this work.

All drill collar locations reported this Quarter are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2. Composites from results received this Quarter are shown in Table 3. A section from Plavica showing hole PNRC122 is shown as Figure 3.

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
•A 0.4 g/t Au cut-off is used for reporting of Au grades and a 0.3 % for
Cu grades. No top cuts are used.
•A minimum of 3m length is used for compositing and a maximum of
3m of internal waste is used. These parameters are considered
adequate for this deposit style.
•No metal equivalents used
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

is known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
•Holes are drilled on 45 to 60 degree angles to intersect the zones at
the highest angle possible but also taking into account the steep
topography of the area and the difficulty of locating drill pads. As a
result the mineralized zones are intersected at an oblique angle and
therefore down-hole lengths are not true widths.
