The information in this report has been reviewed and approved for release by Mr Tom Evers, MSc, Pr.Sci.Nat, who has over 27 years experience in mineral exploration, and who is the companies Chief Geologist and full-time employee and has sufficient experience in relation to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" (The JORC Code 2004 Edition). Mr Evers has consented to inclusion of this information in the form and context in which it appears.
1 The exploration target must be regarded as provisional indication of likely quantities and grades only and is based on drilling, geophysics, geological studies, imagery analysis, metallurgical test-work and preliminary modelling work to date. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in determination of a Mineral Resource.
