LOI Mining Centre Exploration Targets – Additional Information
The Exploration Targets are based upon a comprehensive geological and mineralisation review conducted by Eastern Goldfields Limited. This modelling utilised a combination of exploration drilling data, underground sampling along with detailed geologic observations. A high proportion of the LOI deposit was drilled with diamond core and as such there has been significant data available to compile geologic models and justify the projection of mineralisation down plunge.
Historical survey, geology and assay records reviewed, validated and were utilised to create a 3-dimensional geological and mineralisation model. RC drill diameter was 5 ½ inch and diamond core size was NQ. RC drill sample were collected at 1m intervals and diamond core was cut to geological intervals. Assay methods of drill hole samples was by aqua regia or fire assay using accredited laboratories.
The grades of these exploration targets has been assigned by detailed assessment of previous production from the Lights Of Israel and Great Ophia Deposits along with detailed statistical modelling ( ID2 and Ordinary Kriging) of sample grades from within the mineralised systems. In areas where there is little or no existing data the grade has been derived from the geological investigations into continuity of existing mineralisation and geology (projecting down plunge) and are conceptual in nature with confirmatory RC and DD drilling required to validate these targets which is scheduled for completion in 2016. Samples will be submitted to accredited laboratories for gold assay (fire assay) with a full suite of QAQC samples (blanks, standards and field duplicates).

Callion Exploration Target - Additional Information
Basis for the Callion Exploration Target:
The Exploration Targets were calculated using historic data that was collated by Eastern Goldfields Limited. The data consisted principally of channel sample assays and ore thicknesses and RC and diamond drill intersections. Lubbock compiled these data into mine blocks with associated grades and tonnages. Historical survey, geology and assay records were used to create a 3- dimensional model of the underground workings. The channel samples were collected across the width of the drive and/or stope face, generally perpendicular to the strike of the structure that controls mineralisation. Sample and assay methods of underground channel samples is unknown. RC drill sample were collected at 1m intervals and diamond core was cut to geological intervals. Assay methods of drillhole samples was by aqua regia or fire assay using accredited laboratories. In total, there are 1608 stope samples, 947 face samples and 13 drill hole samples used within the area of calculated Exploration Target.
Techniques for Calculating the Grade and Tonnage Ranges for the Callion Exploration Target:
Hard copy survey and geology plans and long sections were digitised and registered in 3-dimensional space. A 3-dimensional model of the ore zones was constructed from the registered plans and drillhole data. Gold assay grades and widths were digitised from the plans. Due to the narrow and variable width of the orebody the estimation was based on an accumulation method. The accumulation varible (GramMetres = Width*Au Grade) and the Width were estimated (Ordinary Kriging) into a block model. The grade was back-calculated by dividing the estimated GramMetres by the estimated Width. A specific gravity of 2.7 t/m3 for fresh rock was applied based on 22 core samples.
Planned Exploration work:
In the short term (2016) Eastern Goldfields Limited plans to drill RC and diamond holes to evaluate the geology, grade and width of the target. Drilling will target remnant pillars and areas below current mining depths. Samples will be submitted to accredited laboratories for gold assay with a full suite of QAQC samples (blanks, standards and field duplicates). If this drill program is deemed successful a geological and resource model will be produced. The resource model will be classified as inferred/indicated as deemed appropriate. .

| 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 submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
SANDKING/MISSOURI • Diamond core samples were submitted for assay on a 1m basis or on intervals of geological interest. • Sampling was carried out using sampling protocols established by the operating companies at the time. • QAQC sampling and assay procedures unknown. BLACK RABBIT • RC samples collected on single metre spacing, split using 1 two tier 75:25 riffle splitter. 4m composite samples sent to SGS Analabs, Kalgoorlie for 50g Fire Assay.

• MERC038 - RC drill samples were collected in large plastic retention bags below a free standing cyclone at 1m intervals, with analytical samples initially formed by composite sampling over 5m intervals. Where samples were dry, analytical composites were formed by spearsampling, where a 50mm diameter plastic pipe is pushed through the drill cuttings in the sample retention bag to the base of the bag and removed carefully with the contents of the pipe containing a representation of the retained metre.Wet RC drill samples where thoroughly mixed in the sample retention bag and ‘scooped’ sampled to form a composite sample. Five metre composite analytical samples, returning values greater than 0.1g/t gold, were riffle split at 1m intervals where samples were dry, and grab sampled where wet. Samples sent to Ultratrace, Perth for 50g fire assay. MT IDA • Reverse Circulation drilling was used to collect 1m samples, approximately 3kg of which were sent to various laboratories for pulverizing and assay. • Diamond core samples were submitted for assay on a 1m basis or on intervals of geological interest. • Sampling was carried out using sampling protocols established by the operating companies at the time. |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
SANDKING/MISSOURI • Sandking - The mineralisation is hosted by fine grained thoeliite basalt. In the eastern end of the pit, there is a contact between the thoeliite and an ultramafic unit. Mineralisation appears to be poorly developed in the ultramafic, if present at all. Both the basalt and ultramafic are cut by granitic porphyries. Some of the porphyry is mineralised, while others appear to cross-cut/ stope -out the gold mineralisation. The mineralisation is an en-echelon series of lodes, developed preferentially in the basalt as a result of rheology contrast. The gold mineralisation at Sand King is hosted within biotite-pyrite alteration haloes around quartz vein arrays, varying from centimetres to several metres wide. Overall the mineralisation at Sand King dips steeply towards the NW/NNW. • Missouri - The Missouri deposit is hosted in tholeiitic basalt (Missouri Basalt). Weak chlorite alteration (+/- carbonate) is evident. Cross-cutting the basalt (and mineralisation) are feldspar- biotite-hornblende porphyries striking NNE. Mineralisation is structurally controlled with 2 main trends: oModerate dipping (35-500) to the north-east quartz veins and shears with intense biotite and pyrite alteration. oIn the south, steep east-west striking quartz veins host the mineralisation. |

BLACK RABBIT • Archaean mafic and ultramafic rocks with in-situ shallow – moderate weathering over mafic rocks and extensive deep weathering over ultramafic schist rocks. The Black Rabbit deposit is apparently controlled by a narrow, planar, north-south striking, easterly dipping shear zone hosted within brittle mafic rocks. This is characterized by strong foliation of mafic mineralogy. Within this planar zone, a north-easterly plunging and south-easterly plunging shoot have been identified that are located within the broader, easterly dipping planar surface. RIVERINA SOUTH • Deposit geology characterized by steep dipping north-south trending sequence of basic volcanics and mafic tuffaceous sediments between ultramafic intrusives. Mineralisation is associated with north- south trending shear zones with associated quartz, sulphides, silica and biotite alteration. RIVERINA • The geology of the Riverina Mine area consists of a sequence of meta-basalts with minor meta-sediments and meta-ultramafics that have a northerly strike and sub-vertical to steep east dip. The area has been affected by upper greenschist to lower amphibolite grade metamorphism with many minerals exhibiting strong preferred orientations. All rock units are foliated with shear zones common. The most intense shear zones have been locally referred to as mylonite zones. Contemporaneous strike faults and late stage faults have dislocated these mylonite zones |

The Riverina mineralization is mainly associated with two intensely sheared mylonite zones. The mylonite zones are locally affected by strike faulting (sub-parallel to the mylonite zones), cross faulting and low angle faults and joints. Gold mineralisation is intimately associated with quartz veining and sulphides within a broader mylonite zone that also contains non-mineralised parallel quartz veins. The mylonite zones are about 1.5 metres wide and consist of silica and biotite alteration with minor sericite, ankerite, and albite. Pyrite is the most common sulphide and often replaces pyrrhotite. Lesser amounts of arsenopyrite, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite also occur within the mineralised system. Gold occurs as native gold in grains between 0.002 and 0.1mm diameter. MULLINE/PEACHTREE • The Mulline area is bounded to the west by batholithic granite and to the east by the Mt Ida Fault. The geology in the area comprises a sequence of north to NW-trending tholeiitic basalts intruded by coarser grained dolerites and gabbros. Late-stage monzogranite and quartz feldspar porphyries intrude the sequence. Proterozoic dykes strike east west through the area. Structurally the area is dominated by the Mt Ida Fault and several major 040-050º striking features offset the stratigraphy |

Based on drill hole interpretations there appears to be broad open folding of the greenstones possibly controlled by underlying granitic stocks. Several styles of bedrock gold mineralisation have been identified that appear to be partly controlled by regional 320 - 340º structures. At Lady Gladys and Lady Jane gold mineralisation is associated with broad east dipping stratiform zones within chloritic horizions and interpillow voids within the tholeiitic basalt sequence. In addition steeper dipping, south plunging quartz-sulphide ore shoots strike sub-parallel to the stratigraphy (010º). MT IDA • The geology of the Baldock deposit has been well defined through historic mining activities surrounding the deposit. The Baldock lode is located within an Anorthosite which inturn is located within an amphibolite. The intruded Anorthosite has been variably altered post deposition with the presence of significant sausserization and pegmatites within the unit. • Mineralisation is associated with narrow, high grade quartz veins within shear zones hosted predominantly by mafic volcanics (amphibolite). Shear orientation ~340odipping 70o-80oW. |

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Geology CALLION (Cont) • The Callion area lies within a North-North-West striking Archean greenstone belt, in which the dominant lithological unit is dense finegrained metabasalt (amphibolite) with sub-ordinate pyroclastic and metasediments. The metabasalts, generally steeply easterly dipping, are the host for numerous quartz bearing shear zones, the most significant of which is a Callion Shear Zone.

• Gold mineralization comprising free gold in the oxidized zone and sulphide ore below it occurs within the quartz veins in a series of south-plunging shoots.
-
• In addition, at least two laterite-hosted gold deposits are known in the area. The gold within the laterites appears to have been derived from auriferous quartz veins at shallow depth.

Gold mineralization is hosted in a biotite altered sheared mafic schist within mafic amphibolites. The amphibolite is predominantly fine grained, strongly foliated and rodded. The foliation strikes approximately 340[o ] with moderate to steep west dips. Rodding plunges 20[o] north along the foliation plane.The biotite altered, mineralized schist grades downhole into a basal QFL (“quartz feldspar lode” This QFL can be up to 9m thick and gold tenor correlates well with alteration intensity, sulphide content and QFL.

| Relationship between mineralisation 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’). |
