Important Notice
This Presentation
The information in this presentation ( Presentation ) has been prepared by Woomera Mining Limited ( Company ).
The mineral tenements of the Company as described in this Presentation ( Tenements ) are at various stages of exploration, and potential investors should understand that mineral exploration and development are high risk undertakings. There can be no assurance that exploration of the Tenements, or any other tenements that may be acquired in the future, will result in the discovery of economic ore deposits.
General Information Only
This Presentation provides general information to assist you with your own evaluation of the Company’s exploration assets. This Presentation is not, and is not intended to be, advice on legal, financial, taxation or investment matters nor is it intended to be financial product advice from the Company or any of its directors, employees, agents or advisers.
No Recommendation
This Presentation is not intended to be and is not a recommendation from either the Company or its directors, employees, agents or advisers regarding the Company.

Vector Residual Magnetic Intensity (VRMI) Transform
==> picture [604 x 209] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
TMI VRMI
----- End of picture text -----
-
Rocks in the project area have highly variable magnetic signatures, primarily due to the remanent components of the ultramafic/mafic intrusives. WML has applied the VRMI transform to compensate for the remanence observed in the TMI.
-
The above images using data from the 1994 CRAE survey show the TMI on the left and the VRMI transform on the right, highlighting large tracts of ground where there is a major change to the apparent susceptibility.
-
The orthogonal components of the magnetic field are not normally available so a Fourier function is derived to fit the TMI surface so that the orthogonal components of the TMI can be extracted at any point of the TMI surface.
