Major Gold and Base Metals Opportunities

Gold Recovery Study

  • 92M oz Gold(eq1) in 2 main Resources 2
  • 9Refractory gold

9DFS Scoping study in progress .

  • 9Target is gold production of 130koz Au (eq) per year for 7 Au for -10years, a "Company Maker".
  • 9Testwork has started. Initial results in late April 2011.

Tailings Re-treatment Study

  • 9Objective is to produce either separate Pb and Zn concentrates or saleable Bulk Pb-Zn concentrate.
  • 9Testwork in progress initial results late May.
  • 9Target is to produce an additional 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of Pb and Zn metal in concentrates.

Notes:

    1. Au equivalence is based on Au:Ag ratio of 1:45. Grades are based on Resource grades, No modifying factors such as recovery has been included. See Note in Attachment - Table 5.
    1. Resource estimate details in following tables-Hellyer Tails & Mt Charter.

Growth from existing resources

Large Gold & Base Metal Resource

  • • Hellyer Tails – 9.5Mt at 2.5% Zn, 2.8% Pb, 104 g/t Ag & 2.6 g/t Au. (product of former Hellyer Ops. 1986- 2000)
  • • Reduced resource risk and simple "mining" - utilise dredge to reclaim tailings.

Hellyer Tails Metal Inventory

  • •800koz Gold
  • •32Moz Silver
  • •290kt Lead
  • •240kt Zinc
  • •20kt Copper
  • All contained metal no recovery factors applied.

Growth from Existing Resources Gold production

Production Aim130koz gold(eq) pa

"Fall-back" target 50koz gold(eq) pa

  • 1 EXISTING RESOURCES 1. –2Moz Gold (eq )*
  • •Hellyer Tails: 1.5 Moz Au(eq) 9.5Mt at 2.6 g/t Au & 104 g/t Ag
  • • Mt Charter: 0.4Moz Au(eq) 6.1Mt at 1.2 g/t Au & 36 g/t Ag g/t Ag(does not include Au/Ag content in Fossey, Hellyer & Que Resources)

2. TECHNICALLY REALISTIC - Based on DETAILED FEASIBILITY level testwork from 1990 s' .

Note: Gold (Eq) is based on a Au:Ag ratio of 1:45. See Note with Table 4 in Attachment. It is based on total contained metal with no allowance for recoveries. There is no value for Zn, Pb or Cu included; only Ag and Au. The above summary is based on Tables 4&5 inAttachment.

9Scoping study (July 2010) results – include DFS quality testwork from 1990's.

  • 9 Potential production rate ran ge from 51k to 133koz gold(eq) per year. p g g ( q) p y
  • 9Potential operating cost range - \$550 to \$740 per ounce gold (eq).
  • 9Technically sound and financially viable – subject to detailed DFS in progress.
  • 9Potential environmental benefits benefits.

Realistic potential to add major gold production to Hellyer operations

Growth from existing resources Pb and Zn Recovery

Hellyer Tails Historic Production 2006-08 (Previous owner)

  • Feed: 2Mt at 2.8% Zn, 3% Pb & 89 g/t Ag
  • Product: 90kt of bulk concentrate:
  • 9Zn – 37%
  • 9Pb - 12% (Pb + Zn=49%)
  • 9Ag - 195g/t
  • As - 0 77% .

Time of high prices – typical "swing" production

BSM's Aim – process on an incremental cost basis to be a long-term producer.

Bass plans for mid 2011:

  • •Process 1Mtpa of Hellyer tails – on a campaign basis with Fossey ore.
  • • P d ith dditi l 10 Pro duce either additional 10-15kt f Pb & Z i t t t 30kt 15ktpa of Zn in separate concentrates or pa of a Bulk lead-zinc concentrate.

Current Activity:

•Undertaking extra test work to enhance Zn & Pb and reduce As levels.

Growth from Existing Resources

Potential strategy - gold and base metals – from "high"-grade tailings

Subject to positive testwork & DFS

  • Commence tailings re-treatment to recover Pb & Zn. Minimal capital likely required required.
  • Store re-treated tailings separately-still high gold & silver grades.
  • Construct gold recovery "unit"
  • Reclaim un-treated tailings
    1. recover Pb & Zn – existing flotation circuit
    1. recover Au & Ag – new gold unit
  • 9 3. tails now less acid forming – better environmental outcome for storage.
  • Reclaim early stage re-treated tails for gold & silver recovery only.
  • Continue assessment of other "gold-silver" rich VMS deposits such as Mt Charter, Que River etc.

Growth by Exploration

Bass is a successful explorer

Elephants leave big……….…FOOTPRINTS:

H ll D it

•Que River Deposit

•Mt Charter ResourceMt

•Fossey Deposit

VMS deposits occur in clusters, and the Hellyer-Que region has excellent potential to host more ore.

Find More Ore

"in the shadow of the Mill"

  • are within 5km radius of the Hellyer Mill.
  • Large and small discoveries can potentially be "cashed p y in"
  • Recent success at Fossey East & Switchback.

Resource growth-new targets – Hellyer Stockwork

  • • 3 distinct stockwork targets -beneath Hellyer workings beneath workings•
  • 3 to 5 Mt Exploration Target potential-indicated by historic drilling

Resource growth-new targets – Fossey East

Fossey East- still open

  • • New Resource: 650kt at 6.1% Pb Zn, + 51g/t Ag & 1.4g/t Au
  • • Indicated part of resource grades 14% Pb+Zn Pb+Zn.
  • •Untested-north of Fault
  • • Untested south & downplunge.
  • • Easily accessible from Fossey Mine Decline

Recent resource estimate highlights potential to add at least a further year of production.

Notes on Metal Prices and Gold Equivalence

•Metal prices effecting the gold equivalent calculation are : Gold A\$1,430/oz and silver A\$35.6/ozs. This generates a Au:Ag ration of 1:40.1. This has been conservatively modified to 1:45 to complete the equivalence calculation based only on contained silver and gold in the respective resources in Table 4 and 5.

•The grades for the calculation of a Au equivalent grade are from the respective combined resource estimates presented in Tables 4 and 5.

•No recoveries or other modifying factors have been applied in the calculation. Au is the chosen metal for reporting equivalence as it is potentially the more valuable.
