Competent Persons
Geological aspects of this report have been compiled by Dr Peter Collins (MAIG), a Director of Reed Resources Ltd. Dr Collins has sufficient
experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which is being reported on to
qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr Collins consents to the
inclusion in the report of the matters in the form and context in which it appears.
References to Exploration/Production targets and Potential
While the company remains optimistic it will report increases in resources and reserves in the future, any discussion in relation to exploration
targets, resource potential, reserves or ‘ore’ is only conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to define additional mineral
resources and reserves, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resources and/or Reserves .
