Working capital includes the general costs associated with the management and operation of the business including administration expenses, rent and other associated costs. Working capital also includes surplus funds.

Future acquisition costs include costs required for the identification of new projects and opportunistic acquisitions. The Company notes that:
-
(a) it is not currently considering other acquisitions;
-
(b) that any future acquisitions are likely to be in the mineral resource sector;
-
(c) that the timing of any such transactions is not yet known; and
-
(d) if no suitable acquisition opportunity arises, and subject to the outcomes of exploration activities, the Company may elect to allocate some or all of these funds to exploration on the Company's existing Projects.
