A mix of the old and the new;
-
‘Time capsule’ mining industry;
-
No royalties, no government free carry, corporate tax rate is 24.2%;
-
Government funding available (e.g.: KORES sponsored drilling at Kochang);
-
Ubiquitous infrastructure such as road, rail, electricity, internet networks;
==> picture [340 x 227] intentionally omitted <==
-
Low cost base compared to Australia with salaries perhaps 50% Australian equivalents;
-
Large manufacturing base, population of 50 million;
-
For example, Hanjin D&B, based in Gwangju, is one of the biggest manufacturers of drill rigs in the world.

The South Korean Assets
-
44 granted tenements across 17 project areas in a jurisdiction where tenure is difficult to secure. One of the largest tenure positions of any foreign company.
-
All host historic gold/silver mining operations ranging from formal underground operations to artisanal workings, including remanent tailings.
-
Key highlight projects from north to south:
-
1 Taechang – recent underground access achieved
-
2 Gubong – potential to open underground access
-
3 Weolyu – new epithermal Au-Ag discovery
-
4 Heungdeok – 9 veins, no drilling
-
5 Kochang – drilling started, evolving big picture
-
6 Hampyeong – new epithermal Au-Ag discovery

Foreign Estimates of Resources
==> picture [510 x 402] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [46 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
See ASX Release 8 July 2016
Foreign Estimate
In line with JORC “Exploration Target”, suggesting a potential range of: 1Mt to 4.5Mt at between 6g/t and 12g/t Au (or ca. 500,000oz to 1.5Moz of Au).
The exploration carried out to-date is insufficient to estimate a resource and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the estimation of a resource. Future exploration activities that will test the validity of this exploration target will include drill testing of the historical and newly discovered zones of mineralisation, diamond drilling and underground sampling, which is expected to be undertaken over the next 18 months.
