Min e ralisation i s found where the north east strikin g structures intersect th e east west striking ironstone bod y . Magnetit e has been a ltered to h e matite and c hlorite duri n g the min e ralising ev e nt. The st r ongest min e ralisation i s found in a chlorite an d hematite a ltered she a r zone on t he margins of the iron s tone body. Pervasive mineralisati o n is also p r esent throughout the i r onstone bo d y.
The mineralisat i on appears to be open in all direc t ions, despit e not being visible at s u rface (du e to weathering process e s) as show n on the long section (Figure 3).
The s e observations at Blu e bird are di r ectly comp a rable with m any of th e orebodies in the Tennant Creek m ineral field. This is a v e ry positive s ign, as this s tyle of dep o sit has hist o rically pro d uced very high copper a nd gold gra d es. Since t he 1930s, t h e Tennant C reek miner a l field has produced a pproximatel y 5.5 millio n ounces of gold at an a verage gr a de of 19.3g/t and 448 , 000 tonnes of copper at an average grade of 2. 9 %.

C O N C L U S I O N
The first stage of drilling by Blaze International at the Bluebird Prospect has exceeded expectations, and mineralisation remains open in all directions. Recently commenced diamond drilling will provide important visual and structural information to help plan further follow-up drilling. Mineralisation style appears to be similar to other deposits in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field which have historically produced very high copper and gold grades.

APPENDIX 1 – JORC 2012
JORC TABLE 1, Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Exploration results are based on industry best practices, including sampling, assay methods, and appropriate quality assurance quality control (QAQC) measures. Reverse circulation (RC) drilling samples are collected as 1m composite samples through a cyclone which are cone split for analysis. Each 1m split sample is analysed with a handheld XRF analyser. Anomalous 1m split samples are submitted to Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Perth for more precise analysis. All other samples are sampled as 4m composites by sampling with a spear and submitted to the laboratory. Core samples are taken as half NQ core and sampled on nominal 1m intervals, with sampling breaks adjusted to geological boundaries where appropriate. All drill samples submitted to the laboratory are crushed and pulverised followed by a four acid total digest and multi-element analysis by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Gold and precious metal analysis are completed by a 40g fire assay collection inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Sample preparation and analysis are undertaken at Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Darwin, NT and Perth, WA. |
| Drilling techniques |
RC drilling is completed by a 5 ¼ inch diameter hole drilled with a face sampling hammer. Diamond drillholes are collared using RC and switch to NQ2 approximately 30m before the target position is intersected. All coordinates are quoted in GDA94 datum unless otherwise stated. |
| Drill Sample Recovery |
The quality of RC drilling samples is optimised by the use of cone splitters and the logging of various criteria designed to record sample size, recovery and contamination, and use of field duplicates to measure sample precision. The quality of diamond core samples is monitored by the logging of various geotechnical parameters, and logging of core recovery and competency. The quality of analytical results is monitored by the use of internal laboratory procedures together with certified standards, duplicates and blanks and statistical analysis on a monthly basis to ensure that results are representative and within acceptable ranges of accuracy and precision. |
| Logging | All logging is completed according to industry best practice. RC drill chips are wet sieved on 1m intervals, logged and then stored in plastic chip trays for future reference. Diamond core is stored in clearly labelled core trays. Logging is completed using a standard Maxwell logging template. The resulting data is uploaded to a Datashed database and validated. Once validated, the data is exported to 3D modelling software for visual validation and interpretation. Detailed information on lithology, sample quality, structure, geotechnical information, alteration and mineralisation are collected in a series of detailed self-validating logging templates. |
| Sub- sampling techniques and sample preparation |
Core is cut using a brick saw fitted with a special blade designed for cutting core. Half core is taken for sampling. RC samples are riffle split on 1m intervals when dry. When wet, samples are dried out before riffle splitting takes place. RC drilling is generally stopped when samples become wet. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique is considered adequate as per industry best practice. Two field duplicates are taken per RC hole to ensure the samples are representative; one 4m duplicate and one 1m duplicate. The duplicates are taken in anomalous copper grades where |
6
==> picture [364 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
| possible. Quality control reports are undertaken routinely to monitor the performance of field standards and duplicates, and laboratory accuracy and precision. Sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
|
|---|---|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The samples have been sorted, dried, crushed and pulverised. Primary preparation has been by crushing the whole sample. The samples have been split with a riffle splitter, if required, to obtain a 3kg sub-fraction which has then been pulverised in a vibrating pulveriser. The sample(s) have been digested with a mixture of four Acids including Hydrofluoric, Nitric, Hydrochloric and Perchloric Acids for a total digest. Ag, As, Cd, Co, Bi, In, Mo, Sn, W have been determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometry. Al, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Pb, S, V, Zn have been determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry. Au and PGEs are determined by a 40g fire assay collection with Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry finish. Field Standards and Blanks are inserted every 20 samples, Laboratory inserts its own standards and blanks at random intervals, but several are inserted per batch regardless of the size of the batch. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
All significant intercepts are reviewed and confirmed by at least three senior personnel before release to the market_._ No adjustments are made to the raw assay data. Data is imported directly to Datashed in raw original format. All data are validated using the QAQCr reporter validation tool with Datashed. Visual validations are then carried out by senior staff members. |
| Location of data points |
Holes are set out using a sub 20mm RTDGPS. Collars are picked up by a licenced surveyor by RTDGPS on completion of the hole. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing and distribution used to determine geological continuity is dependent on the deposit type and style under consideration. Where a mineral resource is estimated, the appropriate data spacing and density is decided and reported by the competent person. For mineral resource estimations, grades are estimated on composited assay data. The composite length is chosen based on the statistical average, usually 1m. Sample compositing is never applied to interval calculations reported to market. A sample length weighted interval is calculated as per industry best practice. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Orientation of sampling is as unbiased as possible based on the dominating mineralised structures and interpretation of the deposit geometry. If structure and geometry is not well understood, sampling is orientated to be perpendicular to the general strike of stratigraphy and/or regional structure. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this would be assessed and reported if considered material. Drilling is at an angle to surface and drilled to maximise perpendicular intersection with the known interpretation of the strike of previously intersected mineralisation. |

| Sample security | All samples remain in the custody of company geologists, and are fully supervised from point of field collection to laboratory drop-off. |

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
The Company controls one Exploration Licences, EL28620 in the Tennant Creek area. All tenure was in good standing at the time of reporting. There are no known impediments with respect to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. The Company is earning a 50% interest in the EL28620. There are no known native title interests, historical sites, and wilderness or national park areas of environmental impediments. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
Several other parties have undertaken exploration in the area between the 1930’s through to 2007. These parties include Posgold and Meteoroic Resources. |
| Geology | At Bluebird, copper mineralisation is concentrated in an east west striking ironstone host unit. The host unit cross cuts stratigraphy which is mostly made up of siltstone sediments. |
| Drill hole Information |
All relevant drillhole information is supplied in appendix 1 of the announcement. |
| Data aggregation methods |
All exploration results are reported by a length weighted average. This ensures that short lengths of high grade material receive less weighting than longer lengths of low grade material. No high grade cut-offs are applied. A nominal low grade cut-off of 0.3% Cu is used with a maximum internal dilution of 3m for reporting of results. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
Mineralisation at Bluebird is interpreted to be striking at east west true azimuth with a dip of - 70 to -80 degrees towards 180 true azimuth. All holes are drilled to be as perpendicular as practicable to the above orientation. Therefore intercept lengths are interpreted to be close to true thickness. |
| Diagrams | A comprehensive set of relevant diagrams are included in the body of the announcement. |
| Balanced reporting |
All background available information is discussed in the body of the announcement. No data is excluded. Full drilling results for copper and gold assay information are shown in Appendix 2 of the report. |
| Further work | Plans for further work are outlined in the body of the announcement. |
