| 1. COMPLIANCE STATEMENT - Boonanarring/Atlas Ore Reserves The Ore Reserves statement has been compiled in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code – 2012 Edition). The Ore Reserves have been compiled by Jarrod Pye, Mining Engineer and full-time employee of Image Resources, under the direction of Andrew Law of Optiro, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Law has sufficient experience in Ore Reserves estimation relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Law consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters compiled by him in the form and context in which it appears. |

Forward Looking Statement Upside Potential
==> picture [77 x 53] intentionally omitted <==
Upside potential at and near Boonanarring
Ø Confirmed potential to extend mine life with high grade mineralisation (ASX announcement 13 March & 26 June 2017);
-
§ Assuming mineralisation in extension area is identical to known Ore Reserves in all aspects and economics; two years of additional mine life could add AU$60M to project NPV.
-
Ø Potential to process lower grade overlying layer of mineralisation;
-
Ø Potential to process ores from several other deposits with high grade mineral resources in the vicinity;
-
§ Red Gully, Regans Ford, and Gingin (South and North).
