2 The Open Pit Mineral Resources have been estimated using the geostatistical technique of Uniform Conditioning, using cut-off grades of 0.3g/t Au for Transported and Saprolite material, 0.4g/t Au for Transitional and Fresh material.

Notes:
-
Teutonic Bore Mineral Resource estimate is as at August 2009 and w as previously reported in accordance w ith the 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves’. It has not been updated since to comply w ith the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it w as last reported.
-
Mineral Resources include massive sulphide and stringer sulphide mineralisation. Massive sulphide resources are geologically defined, stringer sulphide resources are reported above cut-off grades of 0.5% Cu for Bentley and Jaguar, 0.7% Cu for Teutonic Bore.
-
All Measured Resource and associated dilution w as classified as Proved Reserve. All Indicated Resource and associated dilution w as classified as Probable Reserve.
-
Mining depletion as at 30 June 2013 has been removed from the 2013 reserve estimate.
-
The Bentley underground reserves have decreased by 1.1 million ore tonnes as a result of depletion 313,000 ore tonnes, changes in realised (AUD) metal prices w ithin the net smelter return cut off valuation process and increases in the site cut-off values ( 2013 $180/t direct feed and $120/t marginal feed versus 2012 $160/t direct feed and $100/t marginal feed ) have impacted mainly in the Arnage stringer material resulting in a reduction of 590,000 ore tonnes, changes in resource interpretation along boundaries on ore surfaces, and minor changes in mining method in the Brooklands surface of 16,000 ore tonnes.
-
Block modelling used ordinary kriging grade interpolation methods w ithin w ireframes for all elements and density.
-
Mining depletion as at 30 June 2013 has been removed from the 2013 resource estimates for Jaguar and Bentley.
-
Resources are inclusive of Reserves.

Notes:
-
All Resources tonnes have been rounded to the nearest one thousand tonnes and grade to the nearest 1/10th percentage/gram per tonne.
-
Mineral Resources include massive sulphide and stringer sulphide mineralisation. Massive sulphide resources are geologically defined, stringer sulphide resources are reported above cut-off grades of 0.5% Cu.
-
*3. Au grades for Wilga are all inferred due to paucity of Au data in historic drilling.
Notes:
-
All Reserves tonnes have been rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand tonnes and grade to the nearest 1/10th percentage/gram per tonne.
-
No Ore Reserves w ere reported in 2012.
-
Gold (Au) grades are Inferred at Wilga due to a paucity of gold assays in historic drilling. Revenue from gold in the Wilga ore w as included in the estimation of the Ore Reserve. The contribution to Revenue of this gold w as estimated to be $3.84 per gram of gold in situ . This inclusion w as not material to the value of the mining envelopes considered and did not w arrant dow ngrading of any portion of the Ore Reserve attributable to Wilga. The contribution from Wilga represents 13% of the Total Ore Reserve.
-
Block modelling used ordinary kriging grade interpolation methods w ithin w ireframes for all elements and density.
-
Historic mining depletion for Wilga has been removed from the 2013 reserve estimate.
-
Mining depletion as at end of historic mine life (1996) has been removed from the Resource estimate for Wilga.
-
Resources are inclusive of Reserves. The Resource estimate is unchanged since 2012.
