The Exploration Target is an important tool whereby available information can be used to guide exploration and prioritise drill hole planning. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource .
