OVERVIEW

Davyhurst Project

The Davyhurst Project includes both open cut and underground mining targets, located 120 kilometres north-west of Kalgoorlie. Mining operations will initially commence on open pit resources at Siberia and underground resources within the Davyhurst area. The Davyhurst area hosts some of the largest deposits within the entire portfolio and has considerable potential for the discovery of new gold deposits, in addition to the extension of existing resources.

The Company’s immediate focus remains centred on the evaluation of mining opportunities. Work programs put in place are designed to cover Mineral Resource definition & extension drilling, exploration of known mineralisation along with grassroots programs targeting new discoveries. The Company will also seek to complete the refurbishment of the 1.2Mtpa Davyhurst Processing Plant as soon as practicable.

During the period, the Company advanced both project development works and processing plant refurbishment engineering and early works, combined with ongoing explorations works.

For the quarter a total of 15 diamond holes (2,181m), 4 RC holes (336m) and 1,835 geochemical auger holes were completed across the project area. Both RC and DD work focused on Siberia, Walhalla, Callion and Lights of Israel while the auger drilling was assessing regional prospectivity in Siberia South and Lady Ida.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE

Siberia Project Area

The Siberia mining centre is 35 kilometres south east of Davyhurst and contains two main deposits, Sand King and Missouri, both of which remain the subject of detailed mine evaluation works.

As announced 14 June 2016, the Company commenced resource definition drilling at the Sand King and Missouri Gold deposits. The Company has deployed three diamond drill rigs to site with an additional RC percussion rig scheduled to be mobilised in the coming weeks. The resource definition drilling is expected to be completed by September 2016, with exploration and extensional drilling likely to continue. The resource definition drilling program consists of approximately 6,000 meters of diamond core drilling and 6,000 meters of reverse circulation drilling from within and around the existing Sand King and Missouri open pit deposits.

Geotechnical drilling (diamond HQ3) has been prioritised and was largely complete by period end. Detailed geotechnical evaluation works relating to the proposed open pit mining episode continue.

Davyhurst Project Area

Golden Eagle Deposit

As announced 19 May 2016, drilling on the Golden Eagle Deposit has confirmed the Company’s recently revised geological model and the importance of the Quartz-Feldspar-Lode association with the location of high grade gold. Golden Eagle has been identified as an additional near term underground mining target. The first phase of the drilling is now complete, with results confirming that mineralisation extends over 100 metres north of the existing resource boundary and remains open at depth and in the down plunge direction.

Minor site inspection and evaluation works, pre-mobilisation were conducted during the period. DMP – Resource Safety have approved the Project Management Plan ( PMP ). The project now awaits final environmental approval relating to its Mining Proposal ( MP ) from DMP – Environment.

LOI Mining Centre

Drilling of a diamond drilling program was completed during the quarter, with 3 holes drilled into the Makai Deposits and an additional exploratory diamond hole into the Great Ophir Lode system. Results are pending for all 4 holes.

The Lights of Israel deposit ( LOI ), the Makai and the Great Ophir are collectively known as the LOI Complex. The Makai deposit is a lode system that sits in an up dip position to the main LOI deposit and is located 700 metres from the Davyhurst Processing Plant. A mining event has been proposed which targets Makai while leveraging off the existing LOI capital development, ultimately providing access options for the entire known plunge length of this deposit.

2

Detailed geotechnical assessment of the Makai diamond core was undertaken; along with an underground inspection examining the LOI vent adit, main portal, decline and stockpiles. All were found to be in good to fair condition. The standing water level within the mine was also found to be below the current planned mining event.

Site Engineering Works

Early works have commenced on in preparation for the more extensive processing plant refurbishment. The larger engineering project aims to re-instate the 1.2Mtpa processing capacity of the Davyhurst Plant.

Early works conducted during the quarter included;

  1. Papertalk Bore Fields – Install/repair of 160mm poly pipeline and installation and tie-in of new 2500m of 110mm poly pipeline from bore fields to the Mill area / Reverse Osmosis ( RO ) Plant;

  2. RO Plant Prep – removal of old/redundant 20ft RO container, clean up and preparation of ground ready for new 40ft RO Plant. This included refurbishment of the Raw Water Tank comprising of internal blasting and protective coating with polyurethane, repairs to drain nozzle, installation of new RO plant tie-in nozzle and welding. RO plant sourced and will be delivered to site in August 2016;

  3. Davyhurst Village – Relocation of 10 accommodation units and 1 laundry unit from the Company’s Mt Ida Village to the Davyhurst Camp, expanding the capacity; and

  4. Davyhurst Core Processing Facility – Design and construction of the new Core Shed comprising of concrete flooring, 31m x 15m shed with awnings, Core Saw installed in a 20ft air conditioned container, 12m office building and 6m crib building.

Riverina Project Area

The Riverina deposit lies approximately 40 kilometres north-west of Davyhurst. Preliminary resource model utilising only the grade control drilling was concluded during the quarter.

The mineralisation defined by this grade control drilling is seen as a potential low cost oxide ore source target for the mill at Davyhurst. The close spaced drilling has identified areas of significant near surface oxide mineralisation, not previously identified in the wide spaced resource drilling data.

Mining Approvals

The Company is working towards approval to commence mining operations at the Davyhurst and Siberia sites. A Mining Proposal was submitted to the DMP – Environment for the Golden Eagle Underground Project in May and is currently in the final stages of approval. Further approvals are being prepared for the Siberia project, to be submitted in the September quarter when geochemical characterisation work is completed.

A PMP also relating to the Golden Eagle Underground Project was approved by DMP – Resource Safety during the period.

During the period, the Company also undertook a detailed hydrogeological study at the projects borefield to meet statutory compliance and also ensure the borefield is in a condition to allow a smooth transition to production.

An extensive ecological survey was also conducted over 700ha to enable the future approvals that may expanded paddock style TSF’s, mining development at the Dexy Prospect and a firebreak to protect critical site infrastructure and the service corridor to the battery borefield 35km away.

Davyhurst Tailing Storage Expansion

The TSF Engineering study defining the first four years of storage capacity for the project was nearing completion at period end.

EXPLORATION

Regional Mapping

As part of a tenement wide data collation exercise, the Company enlisted specialist geological consultants to conduct 1:10,000 scale regional mapping over its entire tenure. The Siberia Project has been recently completed with attention now directed to the Riverina/Mulline Project Area, which encompasses several sizable deposits, namely the Giles and Lady Gladys and deposits. Mapping of the Mulline/Riverina area has progressed during the quarter and is scheduled for completion during the September quarter 2016.

RC Drilling

Results were received for a number of RC drill programs completed in the previous quarter.

Dexy Prospect

As announced 26 May 2016, drilling on the Dexy Prospect returned encouraging results. As part of the project review of the Round Dam mineralised trend, the area between Waihi and Lady Eileen pits was identified as a potential source for shallow oxide resources. The Dexy Prospect mineralisation has been defined over a strike length of greater than 300 metres, while the structure itself remains open to the north and south and is prospective for over 500 metres.

The Company has commenced planning for the next drilling program.

Gila/ Glasson North/ Foxtrot and Mulline Offset Prospects

As announced on 5 May 2016, results from reconnaissance drilling over several Prospects at Davyhurst were received. The Gila Prospect returned significant results that require further follow up drilling.

Auger Drilling

A total of 1,835 auger holes were drilled across six tenements on the Siberia and Lady Ida Projects. Drilling was carried out on a nominal 200m by 80m grid. This work was designed to infill gaps in the existing auger and vacuum coverage, and to follow up previously defined gold anomalies. All samples were submitted to commercial assay laboratory for gold and a multi-element suite analysis.

To date only the results for the Siberia South Project have been received. These results have returned three large coherent +20ppb gold anomalies (with +100ppb centres) coincident with the base of the Missouri basalt, the contact between the Siberia Komatite and the Walter Williams formation and a north east striking Ultramafic unit within the Missouri basalt, see figure below. A number of theses anomalies have received no gold exploration to date and are being assessed for further follow up work.

CORPORATE

As announced on 3 May 2016, the Company executed a binding agreement ( Agreement ) to acquire additional tenements in the Eastern Goldfields region in Western Australia from Goldstar Resources (WA) Pty Ltd, a whole owned subsidiary of Orion Gold NL (ASX:ORN) ( Orion ). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid Orion $125,000 cash consideration and 2,000,000 unlisted options (1,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.168 each on or before 8 March 2018 and 1,000,000 unlisted options exercisable at $0.189 each on or before 8 March 2020). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to procure subscriptions for 33,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares in the capital of Orion at $0.015 per share to raise a total of $500,000 ( Placement ). After conducting an internal technical review of Orion’s assets, it was considered that those assets are of sufficient interest to the Company to warrant subscribing for the Placement in its own right. The shares were subsequently issued to the Company on 8 June 2016.

As noted in the previous quarterly report, on 13 April 2016, the Company issued 16,666,667 shares at an issue price of $0.15 per Share to raise a further $2.5 million. In addition, in recognition of recent efforts the Company issued 13,000,000 options exercisable at $0.168 each and expiring 8 March 2018 and 13,000,000 options exercisable at $0.189 each, expiring 8 March 2020 and vesting 14 April 2018, subject to continual employment or engagement by the Company to employees and contractors of the Company, pursuant to the Company’s Employee Share Option Plan.

POST QUARTER EVENTS

On 18 July 2016, the Company announced encouraging gold results have been received from diamond drilling at the Walhalla North Prospect with assay results from 2 diamond core holes drilled confirmed mineralisation reported in recent RC drilling. Both diamond holes intersected broad zones of mineralisation close to surface with results of 9.80m @ 5.57g/t from 32.0 metres and 25.60m @1.57g/t from 24.0 metres (refer ASX announcement 18 July 2016).

On 28 July 2016, the Company announced that exploration drilling at the Callion Deposit has intersected strong zones of alteration and mineralisation at depth. Preliminary underground mine evaluation works, based on the historical record, have resulted in a focussed exploration effort at Callion, and the early success demonstrated by this initial programme will result in the continued advancement of this project with the aim of defining the next underground mining event.

OUTLOOK

The AUD gold price how shown consistent strength above AUD1700/oz since late in the June quarter, and equity markets continue to be supportive of near term / producing gold companies.

With site works currently underway, the Company remains on track for re-commissioning of the Davyhurst processing facility in the December quarter of 2016, with mining likely to commence in August 2016. At present, the first full quarter of production is forecast for the three months to 31 March 2017.

Resource & reserve drilling will continue up to and beyond that date as the Company firms up its resource model ahead of the commencement of gold production at Davyhurst.
