ASX Announcement (ASX: OBM)
15 May 2020
Callion Open Pit Resource Upgrade Completed
Davyhurst Gold Project Total Mineral Resource ~2.0Moz
HIGHLIGHTS:
-
Callion Mineral Resource increased by 114% to 269 Kt @ 3.5 g/t Au for 30,000 oz Au
-
Further resource growth expected with work ongoing on underground resource model
-
Detailed open pit mine design for Callion now in progress
Ora Banda Mining Limited (ASX: OBM) (“Ora Banda”, “Company”) is pleased to announce an updated open pit Mineral Resource for the Callion deposit, a key part of the Company’s Davyhurst Gold Project (“Project”). Callion is located 14 km from the Davyhurst processing plant.
The upgraded Mineral Resource at the Callion Project has increased by 114% to 269 Kt @ 3.5 g/t for 30,000 ounces of contained gold (up from 169 Kt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 14,000 ounces of contained gold) and includes an Indicated Resource of 241 Kt at a substantially higher grade of 3.7 g/t Au for 28,700 ounces of contained gold .
Further details of the updated Mineral Resource estimate are provided in Tables 1 and 2.
The Callion open pit Mineral Resource estimate has been derived following additional drilling and the application of various constraints including modifying factors (refer to Sections on Criteria Used for Classification and Cut-off grades and Modifying Factors). These include a gold price of A$2,400[1] per ounce, a lower block cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t Au and a physically constrained area within an optimum A$2,400 per ounce open pit shell that extends to a depth of 85 metres.
The Callion underground Mineral Resource estimate currently remains under development.
This updated Callion open pit Mineral Resource and the underground mineral resource under development follows the successful completion of a 66-drill hole program for 10,445 metres including 42 RC drill hole (5,773 metres) and 24 Diamond drill holes (4,672 metres).
Detailed mine design work aimed at defining an open pit Mining Reserve is in progress.
Managing Director Comment
Ora Banda Managing Director, David Quinlivan, said: “We were initially drawn to Callion due to its relatively high grades and impressive production history. The Callion Mineral Resource is the final resource to be evaluated as part of the Company’s reserve definition program for the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) and delivery of this study remains on schedule.”
- The Company’s choice of AUD$2,400 is to remain consistent with previously reported Riverina and Waihi resources by the Company in 2019 and 2020

Further to the information contained in Appendix 3, Ora Banda provides the following additional information pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 5.8 and the Company’s ongoing continuous disclosure obligations in respect of the 2020 Callion Resource update.
OVERVIEW OF THE CALLION DEPOSIT
The Callion deposit is one of five priority mining targets at the Davyhurst Project and is located 13km southwest from the Davyhurst processing plant. The deposit has been mined underground by various operators since the early 1900s, with more substantial development undertaken by Western Mining Corporation between 1934-1959. Additional underground and open pit mining was undertaken by the Callion JV in the late 1980s, prior to a second round of open pit mining by Croesus in 2004-2005. The existing Callion open pit is approximately 650m long and approximately 40m deep, with the underground workings extending off the southern end of the pit to a vertical depth of 220m below surface. Total recorded historical production for the open pit is 135Kt @ 4.1g/t for 17.6koz, with the underground mine producing 146Kt @ 15.8g/t for 74Koz for total production of 280Kt @ 10.2 g/t for 91,650 ounces of contained gold[1] .
The resource update follows on from recent resource definition drilling, both extensional and infill, aimed to increase the geological understanding and provide additional drill support for a robust Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

COMPARISON TO PREVIOUS RESOURCE
The new Mineral Resource Estimate for Callion is reported within a A$2,400/oz optimised pit shell and includes Indicated and Inferred categories. The previous Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) was undertaken in 2008 by Monarch Gold, which is dissimilar for a number of reasons:
-
Considerable additional drilling since 2008.
-
The 2008 MRE was based on mineralisation wireframes defined using a 1 g/t Au cut-off and extended to a maximum depth of 120 vertical metres only (370mRL).
-
The 2008 MRE was reported unconstrained to a 1 g/t Au cut-off with no consideration of mining envelopes and depths of potential extraction.

GEOLOGY AND GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION
The Callion deposit is located within the Barlee Terrane of the Southern Cross Province, proximal to the regionally extensive Ida Fault. Within the Callion local area the outcrop position of the Ida Fault is equivocal and best regarded as a corridor of related structures with an axis central to the Callion trend.
Mafic and felsic lithologies are recognised at Callion. The most dominant rock type is a metamorphosed finegrained amphibole-feldspar-chlorite metabasalt. The metabasalt commonly displays pillow textures and is rarely variolitic or amygdaloidal. Thin zones of shearing and foliation are evident in both open pit observations and drill core, and commonly associated with moderate to strong biotite alteration and an increase in quartz veining and sulphides.
Intercalated with metabasalt and intimately associated with Callion mineralisation are a series of NNW-SSE striking, yellow to white, fine grained, weakly cleaved quartz-sericite felsic units. The felsic units are strongly siliceous in fresh rock, and a focal point for quartz veining and gold mineralisation at contacts with the surrounding metabasalt.
Minor intrusives have been logged in EGS and OBM diamond core. Narrow dykes of intermediate composition, 0.5-3m wide, dip steeply to the east and often display a porphyritic texture. They are weakly veined compared to the surrounding country rock and devoid of any significant fabric. Minor steeply east dipping dolerite dykes have also been noted in drill core, but none identified in pit exposures.
Structure
The dominant structural trend at Callion is oriented NW-SE, with a major shear plane evident through the central section of the existing Callion pit leading to a broad zone of structural disruption. Additional small NW trending cross faults have been mapped in the southern section of the pit with minor metre scale sinistral movement. Geology mapping of ore drives by Western Mining Corporation in the 1950s show asymmetric drag folding and isoclinal folding.
Alteration & Mineralisation
Gold mineralisation at Callion is primarily associated with sub-vertical to steeply east dipping quartz veins within metabasalt, developed preferentially at contacts with felsic units where present. Additionally, stockwork quartz and lower grade gold mineralisation is evident within, and along the internal margins of felsic units. Alteration consists of variable biotite-chlorite-carbonate-sulphide+/-sericite, with an increase in alteration intensity and sulphide content with gold grade. Disseminated and stringer sulphide content is generally low to moderate, consisting dominantly of pyrite with lesser pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite. Higher grade mineralisation plunges moderately to the south.
Weathering
A deep weathering profile exists at Callion with the fresh rock interface generally within 60m of surface. Oxide material is developed to depths of 25-30m from surface and has been the primary focus of previous open pit mining, most recently by Croesus Mining.

DRILLING AND SAMPLING, AND SAMPLE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES
Resource definition drilling at Callion has been ongoing since the early 1980s and has been completed by numerous operators. Table 3 shows the drilling by operator. All RC and diamond drilling at the deposit is deemed suitable for resource estimation purposes, including RC grade control drilling completed by Croesus. RAB and Aircore drilling distal to the Callion deposit was used where available to extend interpreted weathering surfaces only. In most cases drilling by early operators (pre-2000) is well documented and to industry standards of the time.

Drill spacing beneath the existing Callion open pit is variable, and includes tight spaced grade control drilling on 5m centres in the upper and northern portions of the deposit, extending to 10-20m spaced sections with a maximum of 20-25m between holes on section at depth. South of the existing open pit, drill spacing is in-part influenced by the presence of underground mine voids, with drilling generally on 20m spaced lines with a maximum of 25m between holes on section. Holes were mostly drilled to the west (259[0] on MGA grid) with holes occasionally sited back to the east. Historic holes were laid out on a local grid equivalent to 259[0] on MGA grid.
RC and diamond drilling pre-2008 were set out on local Callion grids, with Lone Star, Consgold and Croesus drill hole collars surveyed at completion by a licenced surveyor to AMG84 Zone 51. Selected Lubbock diamond holes were surveyed by EGS staff in MGA94 Zone 51 using Trimble DGPS. All EGS and OBM collar positions were picked up using a Trimble DGPS subsequent to drilling by a licenced surveyor.
No down hole survey documentation is available for early shallow RC drilling completed by Centamin, Metallges and Lone Star. Drill hole deviation is expected to be minimal given average hole depths of 30-50m. Eastman single shot survey cameras were used to down hole survey diamond holes completed by Metallges, and RC drilling completed by Consgold. RC drilling completed by Consgold additionally utilised an aluminium rod above the drill bit to minimise magnetic interference of azimuth readings.

Croesus RC and diamond drill holes were downhole surveyed by electronic multi-shot method every 5m. RC grade control drilling was not surveyed. EGS and OBM RC and diamond drill holes were surveyed every 1830m by Reflex downhole camera or gyro survey tool.
No sample recovery information is available for early drilling. EGS and OBM RC drill sample recovery is monitored and visually checked for recovery, moisture and contamination. RC sample weights were recorded at the laboratory and monitored. Diamond drill core is processed to determine recovery. Core recovery was good.
Sample Analysis Method
For early operators (Centamin, Metallges and Lubbock), RC samples were generally collected from the rig and submitted for analysis by unknown method, assumed to be aqua regia. Diamond drilling completed by Lubbock was analysed by fire assay.
Subsequent operators collected RC samples from the rig cyclone and split them via riffle splitter to obtain a 2- 3 kg sample. Where applicable, composite samples were collected by spear sampling. All samples from drilling by Consgold, Croesus and EGS/OBM were assayed by fire assay using a 40 g or 50 g charge. RC samples from OBM drilling were submitted directly as individual 1m samples taken onsite from the rig cone splitter, or initially as 4m composites sampled via spear prior to submission of 1m intervals through zones of anomalous gold grade. Half NQ core samples were cut by core saw and sample intervals were selected by the geologist and defined by geological boundaries where appropriate. All samples were dried, crushed (where necessary), split, pulverised and a 50-gram charge taken for fire assay analysis.
ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY
The updated resource was estimated by Ordinary Kriging (OK) using Geovia Surpac™ software for Au only. Mineralised zones were interpreted and digitised on cross sections that were then used to form wireframe solids using a nominal 0.5g/t Au cut-off. The ore/waste boundaries were generally sharp.
Sample data within mineralised the wireframes was composited into 1m intervals. Only reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling was used in the estimation. Grade continuity analysis was undertaken in Supervisor[TM] software for the main mineralised lode. Other lodes had insufficient composite samples resulting on poorly structured variograms. The semivariogram parameters derived from the main lode were applied to the other domains. Normal scores transformation was applied to the data for variogram analysis and then back transformed and exported for use in the block model estimation.
Interpolation parameters were based on the geometry of each zone and top-cuts were decided by using a combination of methods including grade histograms, log probability plots and statistical tools. Based on this statistical analysis of the data population, only some top cuts were applied, including D1 (38 ppm), D6 (20 ppm), D9-22-35-36 (60 ppm), D11-15-17-38 (10 ppm) and D23 (12 ppm).
Gold grades were estimated into a 5 mE x 4 mN x 5 mRL block model. Three estimation passes were used, the first pass had a limit of 30m, the second pass 60m. The third pass searching a large distance to fill the blocks within the wire framed zones. Each pass used a maximum of 12 samples, a minimum of 6 samples and maximum per hole of 4 samples.
Drilling samples from representative rocks were measured for bulk density measurements, supported by information from previous mining. Bulk densities have been assigned by a combination of oxidation and rock type:

The model was depleted for open pit mining by using a post-mining pit survey. Underground mining stopes and development voids were digitised from historic ore drive plans and long sections. 3D solids were developed from the digitised outlines and these were used as a “cookie cutter” to deplete the model for underground mining.
CRITERIA USED FOR CLASSIFICATION
The Mineral Resources are classified in accordance with the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC, 2012).
Determining classification involved consideration of multiple factors including confidence in the geological model, continuity of mineralised zones, drill hole spacing, confidence in the underlying drill hole database, availability of bulk density information plus information and knowledge from previous mining. In part, the lodes have been drilled down to 10m x 10m spacing, and even areas of 5m by 5m grade control, on northing and easting, with drill lines running approximately ENE-WSW. Previous open pit and underground mining knowledge adds significantly to the confidence of the classification, albeit minor uncertainty on known underground voids.
With all these factors considered, the resource estimate has in part been assigned to Indicated resources with the remainder to the Inferred category. No Measured resources have been assigned.
CUT-OFF GRADES AND MODIFIYING FACTORS
Reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction for the Callion Mineral Resource update was confirmed by applying a conceptual AU$2,400 per ounce pit shell which was generated using the mineral resource block model described above. A theoretical economic mining inventory was determined from the Indicated and Inferred material within the unconstrained mineral resource. Pit slopes used in the conceptual optimisation applied slope parameters typical of the region, with geotechnical assessments for the DFS in progress. Allowance was made in the pit slopes for in-pit ramps. Assumed mining costs were applied on a progressive bench by bench basis using contractor supplied budget quotations for the Davyhurst project received in March 2020. The average mining costs for the pit shell was estimated to be $3.93 per tonne of material mined which included the cost to remove a portion of the adjacent waste landform and rehabilitate the site. A dilution factor of 30% and mining recovery of 95% was applied to define the theoretical economic mining inventory within the pit shell. The conceptual combined haulage, processing and administration cost applied was $34.66 per tonne processed with recoveries of between 92% and 93% based on weathering domains.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Information for historical drilling and sampling has been extensively viewed and validated where possible. Information pertaining to historical QAQC procedures and data is incomplete but deemed to be of a sufficient quality and detail to allow drilling and assay data to be used for resource estimation purposes. Further, Ora Banda Mining Limited has undertaken extensive infill and confirmation drilling that validate historical drill results. Sections 1 and 2 describe the work undertaken by Ora Banda Mining Limited and only refer to historical information where appropriate and/or available.

| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types(eg |

| units in the east. The westernmost, and presumably the lowermost (as facing is indeterminate), rock type mapped in the area is a +700m thick sequence of sandstone, wacke, shale, chert and banded iron formation (herein termed BIF), interleaved with several sills of dolerite and gabbro. The chert and BIF units define a prominent range of hills, whereas the sandstone and shale units, together with the mafic sills are recessive features. The BIF units become more cherty and less magnetic towards the east. These rocks are overlain by a ~100m thick sequence of thinly bedded shale, siltstone and fine grained sandstone with thin interbeds of chert. Bedding in the BIF’s generally dips at 45º to the east, although it can range between 25º and 75º. The BIF’s and cherts become progressively higher metamorphic grade in a northward direction (i.e. along strike). Overlying the fine grained sediments is a 250-600m thick composite dolerite and gabbro sill that is thickest in the centre of the area and thinnest at the southern limit of the mapping. To aid description this sill is herein termed the Lady Mary Sill. East of the Lady Mary Sill is a ~1500m thick sequence of basalt that displays pillow structures, amygdules, and rare variolitic flows. Interflow sediments are absent from this thick pile of basalt. Intruded into the basalt is ~1000m of dolerite spread over two dozen discrete sills ranging from 20m to 200m thick. The intrusions are generally conformable with the Lady Mary Sill to the west, although the dolerite intrusions do strike N-S along the eastern side of the mapped area. The eastern boundary of the mapped area was arbitrary; however a strong shear zone is present on the eastern flank of the easternmost outcrop mapped and coincides with a distinctive linear high in magnetic data. Intruding the basalt and dolerite rocks east of the Lady Mary Sill in the northern half of the mapping is a +4km2 area of massive granitoid, described as a monzonite by Arnold (2001). • The metamorphic grade of the Davyhurst area is described by Wyche & Witt (1994) as being low pressure and moderate to high temperature middle to upper amphibolite facies. • The structural setting of the Glasson-Callion area is relatively simple. Strain is strongly heterogenous, being partitioned into very narrow shear zones, leaving the neighbouring country rock largely undeformed. The BIF/chert sequence dips on average 45º to the east, although some variation in dip and strike is noted, and bedding is folded about mesoscopic, asymmetric, parasitic drag folds with consistent S-vergence. The drag folds are reclined, having fold axes plunging at a similar orientation to the dip of the long limbs. • The mineralisation at Callion is associated with massive quartz veining or quartz vein stockworks. Mineralisedquartz veins are situated both within narrow shear zones within |

| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevationabove sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length.• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
• Individual drill intercepts previously reported. For previous announcements relating to Callion please refer to ASX announcement dated 24 November 2016, 10 January 2017, 20 February 2017, 31 August 2017, 28 January 2020, 3 March 2020, 30 April 2020. • Any widths reported in a Significant Intercepts table are all down hole lengths. |
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• Original assays are length weighted. For reporting exploration results grades are not top cut. Lower cut off is nominally 0.5g/t. Maximum 2m internal dilution. • No metal equivalents reported. |

| Relationship between mineralisatio n widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• All intercept widths reported are down hole lengths. No attempt has been made here to report true widths. • Generally, resource drilling was drilled at orientations perpendicular to the established trend of mineralisation. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Refer to diagrams in release. |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• Results reported include both low and high gram metre (g/t x down hole length) values. • The significant intercept table (previously reported – see references in Section on Drill Hole Information) provides details of drill hole intercepts shown on diagrams. There is no lower cut-off grade, the holes listed include those with NSI (no significant intercept). Holes in the significant intercept table are shown on diagrams coloured according to gram metre grade bins. This provides spatial context to the number of holes in the project area with significant gold intercepts versus the number of holes with lesser or no significant intercepts. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
• Callion deposit was previously mined and processed at Davyhurst plant with no known metallurgical issues. • New metallurgical holes from Callion have been drilled and are currently being tested. Results are pending. • New geotechnical holes at Callion have been drilled with results currently being reviewed by external geotechnical consultants. • All exploration data believed to be meaningful and material to this release has been included. |

• Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of ) the geological interpretation of the mineral deposit. • Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. • The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource estimation. • The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. • The factors affecting continuity both ofgrade andgeology. |
• The geology of the system and the gold distribution is modelled as a set of sub-parallel, NNW-SSE striking, steeply dipping narrow lodes. • The continuity of mineralisation and volume controls are reasonably well established where drilling is at a nominal 10m (X) by 10m (Y) hole spacing. • The use of historical drilling provides a level of uncertainty as the company cannot validate all the QAQC data and downhole survey data. • The selection of mineralised domains has used geological factors such as geological contacts, logged quartz and sulphides in conjunction with a 0.5g/t cut-off. Gold values transition from background to ore grades over a very short distance. |
| Dimensions | • The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource. |
• The reported mineralised corridor extends 900m NNW-SSE, up to 40m east/west (in multiple narrow lodes) and up to 150m vertically. • Mineralised structures are present at surface for some lodes and have been mined by both open pit and underground methods. |

variography. • Estimation completed in 3 runs each with less restrictive search, and minimum sample parameters. The initial interpolation pass used a search range of 30m, the second pass 60m. The third pass search expanded to fill blocks. Maximum number of samples was 12, minimum was 6 and the maximum samples per hole was 4. • No estimation of deleterious elements was carried out. Deleterious elements have not been recorded during mining of Callion. Copper is known to be present at Callion. Only Au was interpolated into the block model. • Previous resource estimates have been completed in 2008 • Open pit production records are available for Callion from mining in 2005. The mined tonnes were 37% higher than the reserve tonnes and the mined grade was 2.82g/t versus 2.29g/t for the reserve grade. 70% more ounces were mined. A comparison to the grade control model has not been done as yet. • No assumptions have been made regarding recovery of by-products. Copper is present but has not been routinely assayed and is not modelled. • Selective mining units were not modelled in the Mineral Resource. • Only Au was estimated so correlation analysis was not possible • The deposit mineralisation was constrained by wireframes constructed using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off grade in association with logged geology. The wireframes were applied as hard boundaries. • Grade Top cuts were selected to minimise the effect of isolated high-grade outliers, without severely reducing metal or cutting a large proportion of data. Top cuts were decided by using a combination of methods including grade histograms, log probability plots and statistical tools. • The block model validation was carried out by three methods: o Visual comparison of block grades with nearby drill assay results on a section by section basis.o Statistical comparison of estimated grades and composite grades on a domain by domain basis.o Trend analysis of estimated block model grades versus composite grades on 10m northing and5m vertical intervals. |

• Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the miningassumptions made. |
• It is initially intended to continue open pit mining at Callion using a selective mining method. • Reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction for the Callion Mineral Resource update was confirmed by applying the conceptual AU$2,400 per ounce pit shell which was generated using the Mineral Resource block model described above. A theoretical economic mining inventory was determined from the Indicated and Inferred material within the unconstrained Mineral Resource. Pit slopes used in the conceptual optimisation applied slope parameters typical of the region, with geotechnical assessments for the DFS in progress. Allowance was made in the pit slopes for in-pit ramps. Assumed mining costs were applied on a progressive bench by bench basis using contractor supplied budget quotations for the Davyhurst project received in March 2020 for the Davyhurst project area. The average mining costs for the pit shell was estimated to be $3.93 per tonne of material mined which included the cost to remove a portion of the adjacent waste landform and rehabilitate the site. A dilution factor of 30% and mining recovery of 95% was applied to define the theoretical economic mining inventory within the pit shell. The conceptual combined haulage, processing and administration cost applied was $34.66 per tonne processed and process recoveries of between 92% and 93% were applied based on weathering domains. |

It is always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation.

If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples. • The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit. • Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation process of the different materials. |
• Densities were applied based on weathering profile and whether in ore/waste. • Bulk density values used in the resource for ore were oxide = 1.74 t/m3, transitional=2.5 t/m3and fresh 2.78 t/m3. Waste densities were 1.74 t/m3(oxide), 2.50 t/m3(trans), 3.0 t/m3(fresh Basalt) and 2.7 t/m3(fresh Felsite). • It is assumed there are minimal void spaces in the rocks within the Callion deposit. Values in the Callion block model are similar to other known bulk densities from similar geological terrains. |

| Classification | • The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying confidence categories. • Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (ie relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data, confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity and distribution of the data). • Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of the deposit. |
• Mineral Resources were classified in accordance with the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC, 2012). In order to avoid a mosaic style of classification, solid wireframes were constructed to encompass areas considered to adequately fulfil the requirement to be classified as either indicated or inferred. Determining classification involved consideration of multiple factors including confidence in the geological model, continuity of mineralized zones, drillhole spacing, confidence in the underlying drillhole database, availability of bulk density information plus information and knowledge from previous mining. In part, the lodes have been drilled down to 10m x 10m spacing, and even areas of 5m by 5m grade control, on northing and easting, with drill lines running approximately ENE-WSW. Previous open pit and underground mining knowledge adds significantly to the confidence of the classification, albeit minor uncertainty on known underground voids. With all these factors considered, the resource estimate has in part been assigned to Indicated resources with the remainder to the Inferred category. No Measured resources have been assigned. • The input data is comprehensive and of sufficient quality for use in the MRE.

• The Callion Mineral Resource estimate is considered to be reported with a reasonable degree of confidence. The data quality is good and the drill holes from recent drilling have detailed logs produced by qualified geologists. • The Mineral Resource statement relates to global estimates of tonnes and grade. Confidence in the estimate allows reasonable quantification of global metal content. However at a local scale there are risks associated with the estimation. The interpretation is considered globally robust but at a local scale variations to ore geometry can be expected. |
