1.0 Introduction

The Tuckanarra gold project lies within the prolific West Australian Murchison goldfield (Figure 1). The Tuckanarra project has historic production of ~125,000 ounces and was last mined in 1993 when the gold price was around US$330 an ounce. The project is 100% owned by Phosphate Australia Limited (POZ) with no private royalties.

There has been substantial historical drilling covering the Tuckanarra project consisting of 2,556 holes totalling 96,626 metres, the company has all of this data. Tuckanarra is particularly well located within the central Murchison region and is adjacent to the Great Northern Highway. A number of existing gold plants are within ore trucking distance of Tuckanarra and a third party are currently relocating a gold plant to Tuckabiana (Figure 1).

The Board believes the project has considerable potential for delineating significant shallow high grade gold mineralisation. POZ has so far completed three separate drilling programs.

2.0 Phase 3 Drilling Program

The Phase 3 RC drilling program was planned to increase and further delineate areas of known mineralisation to allow a JORC-compliant resource to be calculated.

Drill targets for the Phase 3 program included:

  • Cable West Vein: Follow up high grade hits along strike.

  • Cable East Vein: Infill drilling on the 500 m long structure.

  • Drogue East (new discovery): Follow up the 4 metres @ 195.1 g/t Au from 6 m depth.

  • Battery Target: Drill strike extensions of old workings under alluvial cover.

  • Lucknow: follow up of historic drilling (location of Lucknow is published on figure 2 in ASX Release dated 14 Feb 2012).

  • Maybelle North: Two holes drilled to collect material for metallurgical testing.

Further details of these targets are included in the POZ ASX release dated 19 March 2012.

3.0 Summary

The Board is pleased with the successful completion of the phase 3 drilling campaign and awaits these important results with great anticipation.

The Tuckanarra gold project continues to go from strength to strength and the proximity of various third party mills in the region gives the company further confidence in the future of this project.
