The Board of Geopacific Resources Limited (“Geopacific”) is pleased to provide an update on the Kou Sa Project in Cambodia, which includes the initial, 2012 JORC Code compliant resource estimate of copper and gold at Prospects 150 and 160.

Geopacific has been working towards the goal of completing a resource and scoping study sufficient to take Kou Sa into production – with revenue generated from production intended to support exploration expansion of the project.

As a measure to gauge initial inventory of mineralisation at Kou Sa, Geopacific has completed a resource estimate on the currently defined mineralisation at the Prospect 150 and 160 areas, where drilling continues. These areas form part of the overall inventory of the Kou Sa Project with further resources to be calculated for the Prospect 100, 117, 128 and 190 areas, when drilling has sufficiently delineated these areas.

Geopacific Managing Director Ron Heeks said,

“The initial resources for Prospects 150 and 160 are a good start with a high proportion falling in the Indicated category which is attributed to our drilling density and grade continuity. We will continue to build the overall resource inventory, adding mineralisation from other zones and moving the project toward development. The epithermal gold discovery at Prospect 190 Gold is also becoming an exciting, potential addition to the resource inventory.”

Ron Heeks continued to say:

“We have long held the view that significant, underlying sources of mineralisation would be required to form the wide zones of near-surface mineralisation already identified at numerous areas on the licence. This, supported by other pertinent geological indicators, suggests the high potential to discover feeder zones and deeper mineralisation.”

“The process of delineating the mineralisation discovered to date has increased our understanding of the geological systems and will greatly assist us in targeting a deeper-source.”

Where we are now?

Geopacific has targeted the “low-hanging fruit” and looks set to enjoy its cost benefits. This is demonstrated in the schematic section of Prospect 150 (below), with the geology clearly providing optimal geometry for the extraction of the near-surface, high-grade core of the deposit. In conjunction with the low-cost environment and high recoveries for copper and gold, this should enable Geopacific to maximise the resource’s potential.

==> picture [454 x 294] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Prospect 150 schematic section showing high-grade, near surface results allowing for optimal extraction (released 12 May 2015).

The benefits of building and operating a mine in South-East Asia have been highlighted repeatedly as cost studies on Kou Sa have progressed. Operational costs are looking to be highly competitive with the lowcost environment being improved by the access to world-class infrastructure at all levels. Examples of the available infrastructure include a 117KVA hydro-electric power already being used on the licence, which is also serviced by new highways.

Metallurgical test work to date has demonstrated copper, gold and silver recoveries in the high nineties (%). The copper-gold-silver concentrate produced has no deleterious elements making Kou Sa’s concentrate a product highly sought after by refineries across the globe.

Page 3

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

The higher-grade core of the deposit contains ~ 1.5m tonnes at 2.39% Cu Eq. which is close to the surface. Targeting this area when processing begins will allow Geopacific to reduce the payback period for capital invested, consequently improving the project’s economics.

In working towards near-term production, Geopacific has progressed long-lead-time tasks with positive results – including environmental, social and government approvals.

Where to from here?

With the knowledge that the mineralisation drilled in other prospects is yet to be moved into the resource base, Geopacific is comfortable that reaching a “starter operation” is achievable and will move focus to the “bigger picture” by targeting new areas and significant, deeper-source mineralisation. Potential to expand the initial goal of defining a “starter operation” into a considerably larger project exists.

Developing the recently discovered epithermal gold zone at Prospect 190 Gold, is encouraging in this regard. Early results include 7.35m @ 12.39 g/t Au eq (released 14 March 2016) . High-grade intersections like these combined with wide zones of mineralised and strongly altered rocks are an indicator of the greater potential this discovery holds for the Kou Sa Project.

Planned exploration includes deep-looking Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysics programs on the Prospect 150, 160 and 170 areas, looking for depth repetitions of the mineralisation already identified and any feeder zones that may support them. IP has consistently enabled the definition of near-surface mineralisation, recently identifying an interesting target below Prospect 160. This result is encouraging and follow-up drilling will begin shortly.

Geopacific has begun work on a scoping study for Kou Sa. Long lead-time items like baseline environmental and social monitoring are underway as are processing plant design work, mining, CAPEX and OPEX studies. Many of the cost inputs have already been completed at a feasibility level. These inputs will be used by Geopacific to determine optimal processing options in the short term.

In the initial round of metallurgical test-work, five flotation tests were conducted. A mineralogy study confirmed that a significant proportion of the gold and silver occurs as telluride minerals. The results displayed below in Table 1, indicate above normal recoveries for all metals and particularly gold and silver. The high precious metals recovery is due to their association with tellurides, which have excellent float characteristics. The chalcopyrite mineralisation, typical at Kou Sa, also produces a very ‘clean’ concentrate that is highly sought after by downstream processors.

Recovery Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 Test 4 Test 5
Copper 97.6% 98.4% 98.3% 95.8% 98.6%
Gold 88.2% 94.1% 89.7% 87.7% 90.2%
Silver 89.8% 91.1% 92.3% 89.3% 92.1%
Mass 24.0% 22.8% 21.3% 22.1% 21.3%

Table 1: Recovery results from initial flotation test-work (released 26 March 2015)

As part of the scoping study, over one tonne of drill core has been moved to Perth to commence the second round of metallurgical test work. This work will optimise the processing options for the project and allow for better, cost definition. The test work will be completed in several months and is expected to optimise grind size and reagent use as well as improve recovery.

Preliminary plant designs and build options are being advanced using regionally based contractors and Australian engineering consultants.

Resource Estimation for Prospects 150 and 160

The resource contains a high-grade core of mineralisation of 1.5m tonnes at 2.39% Cu Eq. that will get processing off to a good start. The majority of the resource is less than 50m deep and this combined with a favourable, shallow dipping geometry and excellent economics highlighted from metallurgical and process studies suggest that a low-grade cut will be able to be used. This will allow a significant percentage of the current mineralisation to be mined. For this reason a 0.4% reporting cut-off has been used for reporting.

Resource details

The resource estimation was undertaken by MPR Geological Consultants Pty Ltd (MPR). The estimate includes gold, copper and silver grades combined into a copper equivalent (Cu Eq.). The resource was calculated using Multiple Indicator Kriging (MIK), which provides an estimate of what could be reasonably extracted by mining. As such this is a recoverable resource and could be considered to be fully diluted and no further mining loss and dilution factors need to be added to move the resource into reserve status. A high proportion of the resource is in the Indicated category, attributed to the detail of the drilling to date. Moving the resource to measured status will require some infill drilling and some further twining of RC drillholes.

Drilling information available for the current review includes 255 RC and diamond holes completed by Geopacific since December 2013 for 24,919 metres of drilling. The resource area drilling is generally inclined to the south at around 45 to 60o along 15 to 50 metre spaced traverses with across strike drill spacing ranging from around 15 metres and locally closer in western parts of Prospect 150 to around 40 metres and locally broader in peripheral areas of both deposits.

Geology

The Prospect 150 and 160 mineralisation is hosted within an intercalated sequence of dominantly sub-aerial to shallow sub-aqueous felsic volcaniclastics with predominantly calcareous sedimentary facies that are considered to have been deposited between Lower Permian and Lower to Middle Triassic times. The entire stratigraphic sequence has been intruded by several generations of high level mafic, intermediate and felsic dyke swarms which postdate mineralisation.

Intensive drilling at the Prospect 150 copper / gold area and the adjacent Prospect 160 copper area began in early 2015. Early drilling was encouraged by encountering high-grade, near-surface gold and copper mineralisation at Prospect 150 and near-surface copper mineralisation at Prospect 160. Which is located some 400m metres to the south of Prospect 150. The mineralisation at both areas has a shallow dip to the north-east while having a gentle plunge to the north-west. The Prospect 150 mineralisation is stratigraphically higher than the Prospect 160 mineralisation suggesting that further repetitions across strike and at depth are possible. Polymetallic Cu-(Au-Zn) mineralisation associated with silica-chlorite alteration has formed as a result of open space fill and calcareous sediment replacement in a relatively shallow subepithermal environment.

Prospect 150 mineralisation is typified by copper and gold mineralisation. Generally most copper intersections contain gold but not all of the gold intersections contain copper. For this reason the resource estimation was calculated using a copper equivalent value as the view was taken that this best represents the mineralised zones. In most cases copper and gold equally contribute to the overall copper equivalent.

Prospect 150 would be summarised as a structurally controlled extension banded fissure vein hosted Cu-Au system. Prospect 160 has formed at a lower stratigraphic level than Prospect 150 and is summarised as a lithological structure controlled limestone replacement and subsequent infill Cu system.

Page 5

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

The origin of sulphide mineralisation at both prospects constitutes early relatively sub-hedral pyritechalcopyrite-sphalerite and a late, finer-grained pyrite event. Prospect 150 contains a higher gold content than Prospect 160, the reason for this possibly due to shallow-level processes acting on an ascending hydrothermal fluid. It is likely that the ore forming fluids, which are considered to have been relatively low temperature, near-neutral and relatively low pressure, travelled along the NW trending structures before precipitating into favourable horizons. A schematic of the structural regime that assisted with the creation of Prospect 150 is provided in Figure 2. The diagram also highlights areas where future mineralisation may be identified.

Stratigraphy

In general, the stratigraphic pile is flat to moderately west-northwest dipping consisting of a thick lower felsic pyroclastic sequence which contains an intermediate siliclastic/limestone sequence developed locally at P160. The lower felsic pyroclastic sequence is overlain by an epiclastic, polylithic volcanic breccia, a thin upper pyroclastic sequence, a shallow shelf carbonate upper limestone unit and finally a fine to medium grained felsic volcaniclastic unit.

Resource results

The copper equivalent grades are based on copper, gold and silver prices of $5,500/t, $1,300/oz and $20/oz respectively with consistent metallurgical recovery for each metal giving the following formula: Cu Eq. % = Cu % + 0.76 x Au g/t + 0.012 x Ag g/t.

The initial resources from Prospects 150 and 160 are presented below. The cut-offs have been reported down to 0.3% Cu eq level after initial economic studies indicated this was a feasible potential mining limit. A reporting cut-off of 0.4% Cu Eq. is used for this report. The low cut-off has allowed a large amount of lowgrade mineralisation to be captured lowering the overall grade of the deposit. The high-grade copper and gold core of the deposit generally forms a distinct zone within the Prospect 150 deposit.

The location of the mineralisation, the resource domains at both areas and the holes used in the estimation are provided below.

For each prospect area the model estimates extend to the base of drilling. Table 2 shows the current model estimates at selected cut-off grades with appropriate rounding for public reporting. The figures in this table are rounded to reflect the precision of estimates and include rounding errors.

  • Prospect 150 estimates extend to around 120 metres depth, around 90% of the estimates are from less than around 50 metres depth, and 98% are from less than around 75 metres depth

  • Prospect 160 model estimates extend to 130 metres depth, with 90% from less than 90 metres.

APPENDIX B – JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

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

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Sampling was conducted using diamond drilling and face
sampling Reverse Circulation percussion drilling (RC).
Sampling of RC drilling comprised four metre composites
taken using a PVC tube/spear with one metre samples
collected using rifle splitter within zones of interest.
Sampling of the diamond drilling comprised quarter core
samples taken based on lithological, alteration, and
mineralisation breaks observed in geological logging.
Samples were sent for fire assay gold and four-acid
multi-element analysis. Blank, duplicate, and standard
samples were inserted in at various intervals based on
Geopacific’s QAQC procedure to ensure sample
representivity and repeatability of the sampling results.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Core was cut using a core saw in half then one side
quartered. The samples were then sent for sample
preparation where they were crushed, pulverised, and
split to a nominal 200g sample size for analysis.
RC samples comprised four metre composites collected
using a PVC spear, and one metre splits collected using a
rifle splitter.
The RC samples were then sent for sample preparation
where they were crushed, pulverised, and split to a
nominal 200g sample size for analysis.
Samples were sent for fire assay gold analysis using a 30g
charge, as well as multi-element analysis using four-acid
digest with ICP finish.
Drilling
Techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
Diamond drilling was undertaken using triple tube
methodology in a variety of core sizes including PQ and
HQ and NQ depending on the ground conditions and
depth of investigation.
RC drilling was completed using standard face sampling
RC drill hammers.
Drill Sample
Recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Core recovery was recorded by measuring the core
recovered from the drill hole against the actual drilled
metres.
Bulk RC drill samples were visually inspected by the
supervising geologist to ensure adequate sample
recoveries were achieved. Any wet/moist samples were
flagged and recorded in the database.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
The use of triple tube drilling as well as shorter runs in
zones of broken ground were used to maximise the
sample recovery.

Page 17

==> picture [595 x 113] intentionally omitted <==

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
RC drilling was undertaken using industry best practice
with geological supervision at all times to ensure good
sample recovery.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
Sample recovery was good throughout the diamond drill
holes and as such there is no sample bias introduced as a
result of sample recovery.
Sample recovery for the RC drilling was good to
moderate throughout the drill holes. Possible
preferential loss of ore material could have resulted in
some zones. Visual estimates of the RC recoveries for a
group of drill holes may have underestimated the
recoveries due to a change in the bag size. Geopacific
reviewed the methodology and the estimates increased
after that point.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
All drill holes were geologically and geotechnically
logged by Geopacific geologists and field assistants using
the Geopacific’s logging procedure.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
Drilling was logged both qualitatively (e.g. lithology,
alteration, structure, etc.) and quantitatively (e.g. veining
and mineralisation percentage, structural orientation
angles, etc.). Drill core is photographed both dry and
wet and is stored in plastic core trays in the exploration
core yard. Samples of the drill chips are stored in plastic
chip trays in the exploration core yard.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
All holes are logged their entire length.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
Core is sawn quarter core, with one quarter sent for
sample preparation and analysis. The remaining core is
stored in the core trays.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.
Initial four metre composites are sampled using a PVC
tube/spear; with one metre samples collected using a
rifle splitter. One metre intervals recorded as wet were
sampled using the spear technique as putting it through
the riffle splitter would have introduced significant
contamination to subsequent samples.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Samples are crushed to a nominal 2mm by a jaw crusher,
with the whole sample pulverised and then split to two
final 200g samples. One sample is stored on site with
the other sent for analysis.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Field blank, duplicate, and standard samples are
introduced to maximise the representivity of the
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Field duplicates are inserted in accordance with
Geopacific’s QAQC procedure.

Page 18

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
Sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.
Quality of
assay data and
laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
Fire assay Au and four-acid digest ICP analysis are
thought to be appropriate for determination of gold and
base metals in fresh rock, and are considered to
represent a total analysis.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining
the analysis including instrument make and model,
reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
No results from geophysical tools, spectrometers, or
handheld XRF instruments are reported in this release.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
Field and lab blank, duplicate, and standard samples
were used in the drilling. Results from these QAQC
samples were within the acceptable ranges.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
Significant intersections were inspected by senior
geological staff.
The use of twinned holes. Three pairs of twins (DD and RC) were drilled; one from
150 and the other two from 160.
Too few sets of twinned holes are available to
confidently demonstrate the reliability of RC sampling.
Usefulness of each pair of twins for demonstrating the
reliability of RC samples is compromised by features
including variability in orientation (one pair), and RC
holes ending in mineralisation (two holes).
The data available from the twins is inconclusive as one
twin pair shows good correlation, another shows higher
grade in the RC chips, and the other shows higher grades
in the diamond core.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Primary assay data is sent from the lab to Geopacific’s
database administrator and then entered into
Geopacific’s database and validated by the database
administrator and senior staff.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustments were made or required to be made to
the assay data.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Collar locations of all drill holes within the study area
have been accurately surveyed using high accuracy
differential GPS (DGPS) equipment.
RC and diamond drilling holes were surveyed with an
electronic single shot tool at intervals of around 50 and
30 metres respectively. Collar orientations were derived
from planned orientations and depths to the first survey
average around 30 and 50 metres for diamond and RC
holes respectively.
Specification of the grid system used. Coordinates are recorded in WGS84 zone 48 south.

Page 19

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. A digital terrain model of the various prospects was
created from detailed LiDAR data and is used to set the
RL of the drill collars. Collar surveys averaging around
0.3 metres lower than the LIDAR survey.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Resource area drilling is generally inclined to the south at
around 45 to 60oalong 15 to 50 m spaced traverses with
across strike drill spacing ranging from around 15 m and
locally closer in western parts of Prospect 150 to around
40 m and locally broader in peripheral areas of both
deposits.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
The data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the current Mineral Resource estimates.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Resources were estimated from two metre down-hole
composited assay grades.
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
Resource area drilling is generally inclined to the south at
around 45 to 60ointersecting the gently to moderately
north dipping mineralisation at high angles.
The drilling orientation achieves unbiased sampling of
interpreted mineralisation orientations.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. All assay sub-samples are collected by Geopacific staff
and put into numbered calico bags, which are
immediately tied and placed in larger polyweave bags
with other samples. These polyweave bags are tied and
secured, and are then sent with a consignment notice
direct to ALS in Phnom Penh using Geopacific staff.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
Information available to demonstrate reliability of the
primary ALS analyses includes assay results for coarse
blanks and certified reference standards and inter-
laboratory repeats by Genalysis.
QAQC data is monitored on a batch-by-batch basis. An
audit of the database by a geochemical consultant has
shown that the current procedures are adequate. Some
minor QAQC issues were identified in related batches
but the issues were identified and have not impacted on
the results released.
MPR considers that the available information confirms
sampling and assay reliability with sufficient confidence
for the current estimates.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership
including agreements or material issues with third
parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding
royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness
or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting
along with any known impediments to obtaining a
licence to operate in the area.
Geopacific has entered into a sale agreement with
Golden Resources Development Co. Ltd (“GRD”), a South
Korean controlled Cambodian company, for an option to
acquire an 85% interest in the highly prospective Kou Sa
Copper Project in Northern Cambodia. The remaining
15% has been acquired by a subsidiary of WWM’s
Cambodian partner, The Royal Group.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
This announcement is based on work done solely by
Geopacific Resources Limited and makes no reference to
work done by other companies.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The geology of Prospects 150 and 160 comprises a
sequence of pyroclastic and epiclastic volcanic and
limestone units with minor late andesite dykes cross-
cutting stratigraphy.
Mineralisation style differs between the two prospects.
Prospect 150 mineralisation is hosted in quartz-chlorite-
sulphide veins while Prospect 160 is interpreted as a
replacement style mineralisation of a limestone unit.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material
drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion
does not detract from the understanding of the report,
the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is
the case.
A summary of the drill holes included in this resource
calculation has been provided in Appendix A.
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.
Where exploration results have been reported, a
minimum grade of 0.5% Cu eq for low grade and 1% Cu
eq. for high grade was used. Where shorter intervals of
higher grade mineralisation exist within larger low grade
envelopes, the high grade intercepts are reported as an
“including” intercept within the low grade envelope.
Intervals were calculated using the standard weighted
averaging techniques.
A cut-off of 0.1% Cu eq. was used in the resource
calculation to delineate the mineralised envelope, but a
range of cut-off values have been reported for the final
resource. Highgrade values were dealt with by

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
compositing the data into 2m intervals for the resource
calculation.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Estimated copper equivalent grades are based on
copper, gold and silver prices of $5,500/t, $1,300/oz and
$20/oz respectively with consistent metallurgical
recovery for each metal giving the following formula:
CuEq % = Cu % + 0.76 x Au g/t + 0.012 x Ag g/t.
The assumption of consistent recoveries for calculation
of CuEq grades reflects the comparatively early stage of
metallurgical test-work, with available results suggesting
that although precise details of potential processing
routes and recoveries have not yet been established,
recoveries for the three metals are likely to be broadly
comparable.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle 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’).
Resource area drilling is generally inclined to the south
at around 45 to 60ointersecting the gently to moderately
north dipping mineralisation at high angles.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.
Diagrams relevant to the report content are included in
the body of the report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
This report is believed to include all representative and
relevant information for the subject it is reporting on,
and is believed to be comprehensive.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Numerous geophysical surveys, including (but not
limited to) IP, gradient array, and ground magnetics was
conducted and assisted in the geological interpretation
and delineation of mineralised zones.
Re-evaluation of the drilling from both prospects has
refined the geological model for this resource
calculation.
Bulk density measurements were collected from within
ore zones and waste and were used in the resource
calculation.
Metallurgical testwork was carried out with recoveries
for gold, copper, and silver relatively similar (copper
>95%, gold >92% silver >90%).
Drill hole location data are provided in Appendix 1 and
are shown in relation to observed geology in Figure 3.

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources

(Criteria listed in section 1, and where relevant in section 2, also apply to this section.)

CRITERIA JORC CODE EXPLANATION COMMENTARY
Database
integrity
Measures taken to ensure that data has not been
corrupted by, for example, transcription or keying errors,
between its initial collection and its use for Mineral
Resource estimation purposes.
Data validation procedures used.
Geopacific geologists and database administrators
routinely validate database entries with reference to
original data.
The Competent Person’s independent checks of
database validity included: Comparison of assays
between nearby holes, checking for internal consistency
between, and within database tables and comparing
database assay entries with laboratory source files
supplied by Geopacific. These checks showed no
significant discrepancies in the database used for
resource estimation.
Site visits Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent
Person and the outcome of those visits.
If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is
the case.
Mr. Abbott has not visited the Kou Sa project. In
constructing the models and reviewing the sampling
data Mr Abbott worked closely with Geopacific
geologists who were closely involved in the data
collection and geological investigations, and is satisfied
that these aspects have been adequately addressed for
the current estimates.
Geological
interpretation
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the
geological interpretation of the mineral deposit.
Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made.
The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on
Mineral Resource estimation.
The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral
Resource estimation.
The factors affecting continuity both of grade and
geology.
Geological setting and mineralisation controls have been
established with sufficient confidence for the current
estimates.
Prospect 150 mineralisation is hosted in quartz-chlorite-
sulphide veins while Prospect 160 is interpreted as
replacement style mineralisation of a limestone unit.
Resources were estimated within mineralised envelopes
interpreted on the basis of 2 m down-hole composited
copper equivalent grades and subdivided into
mineralised domains reflecting variability in
mineralisation styles. The interpreted domains are
consistent with geological understanding of
mineralisation controls.
Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource
expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan
width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower
limits of the Mineral Resource.
The Prospect 150 mineralised envelope dips to the north
at between 10 and 45o, with strike extents of around
475 m and an average thickness of around 35 m. It is
interpreted to a maximum depth of around 125 m.
The Prospect 160 mineralised envelope dips to the north
at around 20 to 30oover a strike length of around 520

m. It extends to around 130 m depth with an average
thickness of around 20 m.
Estimated resources extend to approximately 130 m
depth, with around 90% from depths of less than around
70 m.
Estimation and
modelling
techniques
The nature and appropriateness of the estimation
technique(s) applied and key assumptions, including
treatment of extreme grade values, domaining,
interpolation parameters and maximum distance of
extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted
estimation method was chosen include a description of
computer software and parameters used.
The resource modelling included mineralised envelopes
capturing zones of continuous mineralisation above
approximately 0.1% copper equivalent subdivided into
mineralised domains consistent with geological
interpretations.
For Prospect 150, the mineralised envelope was
subdivided into four mineralised domains of varying
grade tenor and orientation.
The Prospect 160 envelope was subset into northern
and southern zones reflecting a moderately northerly
dipping fault interpreted to control mineralisation in this
area. Mineralisation to the south of the fault was
subdivided into a high grade narrow zone adjacent the
fault and a larger generally lower grade zone.
A surface representing the base of oxidation was
interpreted from geological logging. For the mineralised
areas the depth to base of oxidation averages around 15
m.
Resources were estimated by Multiple Indicator Kriging.
MIK models were created for copper, silver, gold and
copper equivalent and are reported above copper
equivalent cut-offs.
The MIK modelling used indicator variography based on
resource composite grades within mineralised domains.
Grade continuity of each domain was characterised by
indicator variograms modelled at 14 indicator
thresholds.
All class grades were determined from class mean
grades, with the exception of upper bins, for which class
grades were determined on a case by case basis from
review of the high grade composites. Upper bin grades
were generally determined from bin medians, or rarely
upper bin thresholds.
The modelling includes a four pass octant based search
strategy giving (Inferred) estimates extrapolated to a
maximum of 50 m from composite locations.
Micromine software was used for data compilation,
domain wire-framing, and coding of composite values,
and GS3M was used for resource estimation.
The estimation technique is appropriate for the
mineralisation style.
The availability of check estimates, previous estimates
and/or mine production records and whether the
Mineral Resource estimate takes appropriate account of
There has been no production from the project.

very similar estimates.
The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-
products.
Estimated resources make no assumptions about
recovery of by- products.
Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade
variables of economic significance (e.g. sulphur for acid
mine drainage characterisation).
The resource model includes estimates for copper, gold,
silver and copper equivalent grades. No deleterious
elements were estimated or are expected to be present
in a concentrate.
In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in
relation to the average sample spacing and the search
employed.
Hole spacing varies from around 15 by 15 m and locally
closer in central portions of Prospect 150, to around 50
by 50 m, and locally broader in peripheral portions of
the deposit.
Resources were estimated into 10 by 25 by 4 m panels.
The modelling includes a four pass octant search
strategy with search ellipsoids aligned with domain
orientations. Search radii and minimum data
requirements for these searches are: Search 1: 30 by 30

Search 3: 45 by 45 by 7.5 (8 data), Search 4: 60 by 60 by
10 m (8 data).
Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining
units.
The resource estimates include a variance adjustment to
give estimates of recoverable resources at copper
equivalent cut offs for mining selectivity of 5 by 3 by 2
m, with grade control sampling on an 8 by 5 by 1 m
pattern (east, north, vertical).
The recoverable resource estimates can be reasonably
expected to provide appropriately reliable estimates of
potential mining outcomes at the assumed selectivity
without application of additional mining dilution, or
mining recovery factors.
Any assumptions about correlation between variables. The modelling did not include specific assumptions
about correlation between variables.
Description of how the geological interpretation was
used to control the resource estimates.
The mineralised domains used for resource estimation
are consistent with geological interpretation of
mineralisation controls.
Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or
capping.
All class grades use in the MIK modelling were
determined from class mean grades, with the exception
of upper bins, for which class grades were determined
on a case by case basis from review of the high grade
composites. Upper bin grades were generally
determined from bin medians, or rarely upper bin
thresholds. This approach reduces the impact of small
numbers of high-grade outlier composites.
The process of validation, the checking process used, the
comparison of model data to drill hole data, and use of
reconciliation data if available
Model validation included visual comparison of model
estimates and composite grades. There has been no
production from the project.

Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or
with natural moisture, and the method of determination
of the moisture content.
Tonnages are estimated on a dry tonnage basis, with
densities derived from air dried sample results.
Cut-off
parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality
parameters applied.
The cut-off grade used for resource reporting
reflects Geopacific’s interpretation of potential
project economics for an operation feeding a
floatation plant at around750,000 tonnes per
annum.Major costs have been sourced from external
consultants.
Mining factors
or assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods,
minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if
applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always
necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction
to consider potential mining methods, but the
assumptions made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not
always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be
reported with an explanation of the basis of the mining
assumptions made.
Resource estimates include a variance adjustment to
give estimates of recoverable resources at copper
equivalent cut offs for open pit mining selectivity of 5 by
3 by 2 m, with grade control sampling on an 8 by 5 by 1
m pattern (east, north, vertical).
Estimated resources extend to approximately 130 m
depth, with around 90% from depths of less than around
70 m and have reasonable prospects for eventual
economic extraction.
The recoverable resource estimates can be reasonably
expected to provide appropriately reliable estimates of
potential mining outcomes at the assumed selectivity
without application of additional mining dilution, or
mining recovery factors.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding
metallurgical amenability. It is always necessary as part
of the process of determining reasonable prospects for
eventual economic extraction to consider potential
metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding
metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made
when reporting Mineral Resources may not always be
rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported
with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical
assumptions made.
Initial metallurgical test work on samples of Prospect
150 mineralisation suggests metal recoveries in the
range of: copper >95%, gold >92% silver >90% (ASX
release 26 March 2015). Metallurgical test work has not
been undertaken for Prospect 160.
The assumption of consistent recoveries for calculation
of CuEq grades reflects the comparatively early stage of
metallurgical test-work, with available results suggesting
that although precise details of potential processing
routes and recoveries have not yet been established,
recoveries for the three metals are likely to be broadly
comparable.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process
residue disposal options. It is always necessary as part of
the process of determining reasonable prospects for
eventual economic extraction to consider the potential
environmental impacts of the mining and processing
operation. While at this stage the determination of
potential environmental impacts, particularly for a
greenfields project, may not always be well advanced,
the status of early consideration of these potential
environmental impacts should be reported. Where these
aspects have not been considered this should be
reported with an explanation of the environmental
assumptions made.
Although these aspects are at any early stage of
evaluation, initial investigations do not indicate any
issues that would preclude mining. The licence is zoned
for production purposes and no people live or work on
the licence area.
Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis
for the assumptions. If determined, the method used,
Geopacific’s density measurement technique comprised
weighingcore samples and the water displaced by

whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements,
the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.
The bulk density for bulk material must have been
measured by methods that adequately account for void
spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences
between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in
the evaluation process of the different materials.
immersing these samples in water. Densities were
calculated by the Archimedes principle. The samples
were not oven dried or sealed to prevent water
absorption, but were dried in the sun prior to taking the
measurements. Due to the strong silicification of the
rock in the ore zones and the lack of significant voids or
vugs, this method is considered fit-for-purpose.
Bulk density measurements are available for 2,409
samples of air dried diamond core including 108 and
1,127 samples from oxide and fresh mineralisation
respectively.
Fresh mineralisation was assigned a density of 2.75
t/bcm from the average of immersion measurements
available for this material.
Comparatively few density measurements are available
for oxide mineralisation and accuracy of the density of
2.35 t/bcm assigned to this material is uncertain. Oxide
mineralisation represents only a small proportion of
estimated resources, and uncertainty over the density
assigned to this material does not significantly affect
general confidence in the estimates.
Classification The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources
into varying confidence categories.
The resources are classified as Indicated and Inferred on
the basis of estimation search pass and a wire-frame
defining the limits of closer spaced drilling. All panels
within the classification wire-frame informed by search
pass 1 and 2 were classified as Indicated. All other
panels, including all panels informed by searches 3 and 4
and all panels outside the classification wire-frame were
assigned to the Inferred category.
These criteria classify estimates for mineralisation tested
by up to approximately 50 m spaced drilling as
Indicated, with estimates for broader, and irregularly
sampled mineralisation classified assigned to the
Inferred category.
Whether appropriate account has been taken of all
relevant factors (i.e. relative confidence in
tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data,
confidence in continuity of geology and metal values,
quality, quantity and distribution of the data).
The resource classification accounts for all relevant
factors.
Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent
Person’s view of the deposit
The resource classifications reflect the competent
person’s views of the deposit.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource
estimates.
No formal audits of the Mineral Resource estimates
have been undertaken. The estimates have been
reviewed by Geopacific geologists, and are considered
to appropriately reflect the mineralisation and drilling
data.
Discussion of
relative
