-
Prospectivity of the region highlighted by Gold Fields’ recent acquisition of 50% of the Gruyere gold project – located 25km east from the Yamarna Project

Yamarna – Mt Venn Project Mt Venn Cu-Ni-Co prospect
-
First assays from Mt Venn show bedrock sulphide copper-nickel-cobalt mineralisation is the source of a large EM anomaly intersected in 15GYWB0004
-
Assays return grades up to 1.7% Cu, 0.2% Ni and 528ppm Co from a single drill hole
-

Yamarna – Mt Venn Project Multiple EM conductors identified with associated Cu-Ni-Co
-
Ground based moving loop EM survey and aircore geochemistry completed in September 2017
-
EM survey identified multiple conductors along the entire survey length that exhibit strong latetime responses indicative of a bedrock source
-
EM plate modelling shows a series of shallow, stacked conductors along a 3.6km strike length in the north with co-incident Cu-Ni mineralisation
-
The geochemical anomaly extends further north of the survey area, where strong Cu-Ni and associated Ag-Zn-Pb results are returned
-
Transported cover increases in the south, however ground-based EM has identified late-time bedrock conductors beneath the cover with moderate Cu-Ni anomalism

Yamarna – Mt Venn Project RC drilling commenced
-
An RC drill program in currently underway at Mt Venn to test 18 of the 32 EM conductor plates
-
A total of 9 RC drill holes have been completed to-date
-
The initial focus has been the northern EM conductor trend where 7 holes have been drilled
-
Drill holes targeting the modelled EM plates have intersected semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralisation over varying widths up to 40m
-
No carbonaceous sediments or graphitic units have been encountered in the drilling
-
Sulphide mineralisation is pervasive throughout, showing a highly sulphur saturated system within metamorphosed dolerite and gabbro
-
The visually logged sulphide mineralogy is pyrrhotite dominant with chalcopyrite (coppersulphide mineral)

==> picture [66 x 23] intentionally omitted <==
Yamarna – Mt Venn Project RC drilling commenced
-
The zones of sulphide mineralisation correlate relatively well with the location of the EM plates
-
Drill hole 17MVRC001 tested the deeper conductor, which confirmed a wide zone of intense sulphide mineralisation as its source
-
Drill hole 17MVRC002 (right) tested the shallower conductor, 60m east of 17MVRC001, also confirming massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralisation as the source of the EM conductor
-
Extensive sulphide mineralisation has also been logged north and south along strike from 17MVRC001 and 002
-
All samples are being dispatched to Perth for chemical analysis (first 7 holes sent to-date)
-
All holes are cased for downhole EM which will be used with the assay data to improve the EM plate modelling

Tarmoola Project
Extensive granite-greenstone terrane
-
Large area of granite-greenstone contact, intersected by large regional gold bearing structures
-
Gravity survey undertaken to define the granitegreenstone contact and identify granite intrusions associated with large structures
-
Gravity data was combined with third party data, incorporating nearby gold deposits, to generate a regional map with deposit scale detail
-
Aircore geochem drilling was completed in May 2017 to test granite intrusions identified in gravity survey and to map the regolith profile for gravity inversion modelling
-

Tarmoola Project
Mapping identifies high-grade gold zone
-
Recent mapping and surface sampling has identified high grade gold mineralisation associated with the Ursus Fault and Marionette shear zone within the Tarmoola Project
-
A significant zone of high grade mineralisation has been delineated over a 2km strike length along the Marionette shear,
-
Significant rock chip results from historical workings include:
-
23.9g/t Au
-
17.3g/t Au
-
12.7g/t Au
-
9.1g/t Au
-
Soil sampling program designed and will commence imminently
-
A maiden RC program will be designed once results from the soil sampling program are received in November

Balagundi Project Local infrastructure advantage
- Balagundi is located in the heart of the Kalgoorlie mining district, only 20km from the Super Pit and many processing facilities:
| Location | Operator | Plant |
|---|---|---|
| Kanowna Belle | Northern Star | 1.8Mtpa CIL and |
| roaster | ||
| Jubilee Mill | Westgold | 1.2Mtpa CIL, currently toll treating |
| Randalls | Silver Lake | 1.2Mtpa facility |
| Paddington | Zijin Mining | 3.7Mtpa CIP |
| Mungari | Evolution | 1.5Mtpa CIL |
| Greenfields Mill | FMR | Toll treatment mill |
- Balagundi is well serviced by road, power and water infrastructure, potentially reducing start up capital and accelerating development
