COMET VALE
Tenements and Gold Prospects
- Sand George Deposit 242,848 t at 10.0 g/t Au for $78,117$ $\circ$ zs (C1, C2, Deeps Geol. Resource)
- Sand Queen- $\bullet$ Gladsome Mines Past Production 245,000 t for 181,000 oz
- Coonega (Oxide $\bullet$ Resource)
- Lake View & Long $\bullet$ Tunnel acquired from AurionGold
NB: Happy Jack is not asset of the company


COMET VALE GOLD EXPLORATION
Advanced Exploration Project Exploration Priorities
- Ongoing extension drilling of Sand George lodes below 6 L Recent drilling adding 40,000 oz
- Infill Drilling at Sand Queen, of ore zones 50m south of 2 Level.
- RC drilling of established target: 500 m strike length of structure south from Sand George [3m @ $12$ g/t
- Unexplored ground: further 2 km inferred strike length of Comet Vale structure & additional 1400 hectares acquired from Aurion.


COMET VALE
Sand George Deposit
- Position of Sand George $\bullet$ resource in relation to Sand Queen Gladsome workings
- $Lode$ C1 Indicated Resource 84,585@ 11.7 g/t 32,000 ozs
- Total Indicated & Inferred Resources for C1, C1 Deeps & C2
151,360 @ 10.6 g/t

Comet Vale - Development

Development Progress
- Dewatered Sand Queen Shaft to 4 Level.
- Refurbish Shaft to 4 Level for sampling and mapping of Sand Queen workings and any remnant ore
- . Pre-Feasibility Study commenced to extend 4 Level south to access Sand George deposit

COMET VALE -NICKEL EXPLORATION
Principal exploration target:
Walter Williams Formation - 5 km strike length [Grey]
Nickel enirched unit is an extension of Goongarrie [Heron] to south and Highway (Golden State) to north
Lateritic profile well-developed (but limited exploration)
Indications – RC drilling: ELC5~ 8m @ 1.48% Ni [including 5m @ 2.2% Ni, 0.11% Co] from 14 m



MOUNT FINNERTY
Exploration target:
- Central ridge of BIF 45 km strike length [dark blue]
- Zones of hematite enrichment (=Koolyanobbing)
- Ore grade hematite enrichment at Mt Walton 60.5% Fe (1km North)
- Manganese occurrence at

Planned Activities - Third Quarter
- Infill/Extension RC Drilling of Sand George Deeps Early April
- . Infill RC Drilling of Sand Queen South for reserve definition April
-
Access 4 Level for underground mapping, sampling & rehabilitation
-
Commence feasibility study of mining Sand George deposit April
- Commence field program at Mt Finnerty project-May
SUMMARY
- Ongoing Exploration Operations over last 4 years. $\bullet$
- Principals vended in at issue price + no cash outlay for projects + Seed $\bullet$ capital internally funded.
- Funds raised to speed exploitation of Sand George deposit and $\bullet$ increase gold resource inventory through an aggressive exploration
program e.g. Sand Queen South Extension, Sand George Depth Extension - Potential for depth and southerly strike extensions at Sand George as $\bullet$ well as for repetitions along strike(3m @ 12g/t on only line of drilling
south of Sand George some 500m), further 2km's untested on recently granted mining lease - Brownfields exploration over Mount Finnerty's 45km strike length of $\bullet$ highly-prospective geology for gold.
- Surface facilities at Sand Queen complete. Shaft dewatered and ۰ refurbished to 4 Level for potentially accessing Sand George Deposit
- Comet Vale prospective for lateritic nickel. $\bullet$
- Mt Finnerty prospective for iron ore. All exploration leases granted. $\bullet$ Additional 31,000 ha of tenements purchased from ANL.
- Native Title agreements in place. All mining leases granted. $\bullet$
- Small, "hands-on" board involved at all levels of operation, minimising ۰ overheads, maximising dollars spent in ground.
