ASX Announcement 17 May 2021 CARDINIA GOLD PROJECT RESOURCE INCREASES TO 1.23MOZ
Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource rises by 15%, or 102,000oz, to 762,000oz
Highlights
- Updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) completed for the Cardinia Gold Project:
- o 30.0Mt at 1.28 g/t Au for 1.23Moz of contained gold.
- Measured and Indicated components increased by 15% to 17.0Mt at 1.39g/t Au for 762,000oz.
Bruno-Lewis
- 20% increase to the Mineral Resource Estimate for the cornerstone Bruno-Lewis deposit to:
- o 11.5Mt at 1.01 g/t Au for 374,000oz of contained gold.
- Updated Mineral Resource Estimate based on a gold price of A$2,600/oz, utilising cost guidance from the 2019 Pre-Feasibility Study, with mining cost assumptions increased from previous optimisations and with a lower cut-off grade of 0.4g/t Au.
- 69% increase in the Measured and Indicated Resource to 283,000oz.
Hobby
- Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Hobby Prospect of 0.5Mt @ 1.31g/t Au for 22,000oz of contained gold.
- Further updates to the Mineral Resource Estimate at the CGP expected in September Quarter of this year with the inclusion of additional drilling at Cardinia Hill, which has returned some outstanding highgrade results.
Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN or "the Company") is pleased to announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for its 100%-owned Cardinia Gold Project (CGP) near Leonora in WA of 30Mt at 1.28g/t for 1.23Moz of contained gold, including recently updated estimates for the Bruno-Lewis and Hobby deposits.
Importantly, the updated MRE includes a 15% increase in the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated portion of the resource to 17Mt at 1.39g/t for 762,000oz, reflecting successful in-fill drilling programs conducted in recent months and demonstrating the scale and quality of the CGP resource inventory.
Recent drilling of Inferred Mineral Resource positions and new, higher grade intersections have added an additional 1.4Mt at 1.40g/t for 63,000oz of Mineral Resource at Bruno-Lewis and an additional 13,000oz at Hobby, increasing the previous Mineral Resource estimate announced on 23 December 2020 "CGP Mineral Resource Estimate Upgrade to 1.15Moz".
This updated MRE for Bruno Lewis and Hobby is based on the same optimisation parameters used for all other existing mineralisation models at the CGP, which were last estimated in December 2020.
All Mineral Resource Estimates reported fall within optimised shells using the same stringent criteria for costs, recoveries and geotechnical parameters as established in the 2019 Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for the CGP, and the application of a gold price assumption of A$2,600/oz. The A$2600 gold price adopted for this estimate is considered reasonable given the recent gold price performance and the requirement under the JORC code to include only material in an MRE that will result in "eventual economic extraction".
Kin Mining Managing Director Andrew Munckton said the Mineral Resource Estimate marked another step towards unlocking the value of the Cardinia Gold Project through ongoing programs of focused exploration and conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to the higher confidence and quality classifications.
"This is a very pleasing update to the CGP gold resource inventory, which reflects the success of our drilling programs in recent months. Importantly, in addition to delivering a 7% increase in overall contained ounces, we have been able to deliver a significant 15% increase in the higher-confidence Measured and Indicated ounces," he said.
"The addition of 102,000 higher-quality ounces, together with improvements in average grade for the recentlydiscovered south-western lodes at Bruno Lewis, is a real positive for the project – particularly as we see great potential for further growth at this cornerstone deposit.
"We also have a very strong pipeline of new prospects and further deeper drilling results from the Cardinia Hill and Eastern Corridor deposits that are yet to be fully assessed in the latest Mineral Resource Estimate. These deposits are expected to be the subject of further updates in the September Quarter this year."

Bruno-Lewis Mineral Resource
Bruno-Lewis is located approximately 2km west of the Cardinia office and proposed site of a future processing facility.
Mineralisation at Bruno-Lewis occurs as three distinct types. Supergene mineralisation, stratigraphically controlled structural mineralisation and cross cutting, shallow, north-east dipping mineralisation related to porphyry intrusions (Figure 5). The latest round of drilling increased the abundance of ore that is contained in the shallow, north-east dipping structures and also in the number of porphyry intrusion that exist at Bruno-Lewis. Refer Figure 5, 6 and 7.
The previous Bruno-Lewis Mineral Resource Estimate contained a large proportion of Inferred Mineral Resource and unclassified mineralisation. The significant drilling program that commenced in late 2020 and was completed earlier this year was designed to expand the MRE particularly from new lodes on the south western and north eastern side of the Bruno Lewis deposit, convert the Inferred Mineral Resource to Indicated Resource and gain a better understanding of the controls of the primary mineralisation.

Hobby Mineral Resource
Hobby is located approximately 6.5km north of the Cardinia office and proposed site of a future processing facility.
As shown in Figure 7, 8 and 9, Hobby mineralisation consists of two steeply-dipping lodes with mineralisation open to the north and south. The Hobby mineralised contact is the same lithological contact that is mineralised up to 2.5km further south at Collymore and Rangoon. Importantly, the Hobby mineralisation contains felsic porphyry intrusions that have been shown to control high-grade mineralisation across several deposits at Cardinia.

| where there is coarse gold that has inherent samplingproblems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types(eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure ofdetailed information. | RCHistoric reverse circulation (RC) drill samples were collected over 1m downhole intervals beneath acyclone and typically riffle split to obtain a sub-sample (typically 3-4kg). 1m sub-samples weretypically collected in pre-numbered calico bags and 1m sample rejects were commonly stored atthe drill site. 3m or 4m composited interval samples were often collected by using a scoop (drysamples) or spear (wet samples). If composite samples returned anomalous results once assayed,the single metre sub-samples of the anomalous composite intervals were retrieved and submittedfor individual gold analysis. | |
| Recent reverse circulation (RC) drill samples were collected by passing through a cyclone, a samplecollection box, and riffle or cone splitter. All RC sub-samples were collected over one metredownhole intervals and averaged 3-4kg. | ||
| 2019-20 RC drilling samples were collected in 1m downhole intervals by passing through a cyclone,a collection box and then dropping through a cone splitter. All RC sub-samples were collected overone metre downhole intervals and averaged 3-4kg. | ||
| AC/RAB | ||
| Historic air core (AC) and rotary air blast (RAB) were typically collected at 1 metre intervals andplaced on the ground with 3-4kg sub-samples collected using a scoop or spear. Three metre or fourmetre composited interval samples were often collected by using a scoop (dry samples) or spear(wet samples). If composite samples returned anomalous results once assayed, the single metresub-samples of the anomalous composite intervals were retrieved and submitted for individualgold analysis. | ||
| Assay Methodology | ||
| Historic sample analysis typically included a number of commercial laboratories with preparation asper the following method, oven drying (90-110°C), crushing (<-2mm to <-6mm), pulverizing (<-75μm to <-105μm), and riffle split to obtain a 30, 40, or 50gram catchweight for gold analysis. FireAssay fusion, with AAS finish was the common method of analysis however, on occasion, initialassaying may have been carried out via Aqua Regia digest and AAS/ICP finish. Anomalous sampleswere subsequently re-assayed by Fire Assay fusion and AAS/ICP finish. | ||
| Recent sample analysis typically included oven drying (105-110°C), crushing (<-6mm & <-2mm),pulverising (P90% <-75μm) and sample splitting to a representative 50gram catchweight sample forgold only analysis using Fire Assay fusion with AAS finish. | ||
| Multi element analysis was also conducted on approximately 10% of samples, predominantlythrough ore zones. This was conducted via a 4-acid digest with ICP-MS/OES determination for a 48element suite. | ||

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Rock ChipsAll rock chip samples are taken using a pick. The samples are taken from outcrop where possible.Samples are also taken from in situ float material or waste rock around historic workings, whereoutcrop is not present. Care is taken to ensure all samples are representative of the medium beingsampled. For example, if a 1m sediment unit is being sampled, a channel sample will be takenacross the entire unit. | ||
| All recent drilling, sample collection and sample handling procedures were conducted and/orsupervised by KIN geology personnel to high level industry standards. QA/QC procedures wereimplemented during each drilling program to industry standards. | ||
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer,rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (egcore diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamondtails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core isoriented and if so, by what method, etc). | Drilling carried out since 1986 and up to the most recent drill programs completed by KIN Mining wasobtained from a combination of reverse circulation (RC), diamond core (DD), air core (AC), and rotaryair blast (RAB) drilling. |
| Data prior to 1986 is limited due to lack of exploration. | ||
| DiamondHistoric DD was carried out using industry standard 'Q' wireline techniques, with the core retrievedfrom the inner tubes and placed in core trays. Core sizes include NQ/NQ3 (Ø 45-48mm) andHQ/HQ3 (Ø 61-64mm). At the end of each core run, the driller placed core blocks in the tray,marked with hole number and depth. Core recovery was usually measured for each core run andrecorded onto the geologist's drill logs. | ||
| 2017 – 2018 DD was carried out by contractor Orbit Drilling Pty Ltd ("Orbit Drilling") with aMitsubishi truck-mounted Hydco 1200H 8x4 drill rig, using industry standard 'Q' wirelinetechniques. 2019-20 DD was carried out by Topdrill Pty Ltd. With a Sandvick DE840 mounted on aMercedes Benz 4144 Actros 8x8 Carrier. The rig is fitted with Sandvik DA555 hands free diamonddrilling rod handler and Austex hands free hydraulic breakout. | ||
| Drill core is retrieved from the inner tubes and placed in plastic core trays and each core run depthrecorded onto core marker blocks and placed at the end of each run in the tray. Core sizes includeNQ2 (Ø 47mm) and HQ3 (Ø 64mm). | ||
| Recent DD core recovery and orientation was obtained for each core run where possible, usingelectronic core orientation tools (e.g. Reflex EZ-ACT) and the 'bottom of core' marked accordingly. | ||
| 2017 -18 drilling was measured at regular downhole intervals, typically at 10-15m from surface andthen every 30m to bottom of hole, using electronic multi-shot downhole survey tools (i.e. ReflexEZ-TRAC or Camteq Proshot). Independent programs of downhole deviation surveying were alsocarried out to validate previous surveys. These programs utilised either electronic continuous |

| 2019-20 DD was surveyed at regular downhole intervals (every 30m with an additional end-of-holesurvey) using electronic gyroscopic survey equipment. | ||
| RC | ||
| Historic RC drilling used conventional reverse circulation drilling techniques, utilising a cross-oversub, or face-sampling hammers with bit shrouds. Drill bit sizes typically ranged between 110-140mm. | ||
| 2017-18 RC drilling was carried out by Orbit Drilling's truck-mounted Hydco 350RC 8x8 Actross drillrigs with 350psi/1250cfm air compressor, with auxiliary and booster air compressors (whenrequired). Drilling utilised mostly downhole face-sampling hammer bits (Ø 140mm), with occasionaluse of blade bits for highly oxidized and soft formations. The majority of drilling retrieved drysamples, with the occasional use of the auxiliary and booster air compressors beneath the watertable, to maintain dry sample return as much as possible. RC drillhole deviations were surveyeddownhole, typically carried out inside a non-magnetic stainless steel (s/s) rod located above thehammer, using electronic multi-shot downhole tool (e.g. Reflex EZ-TRAC). In some instances,drillholes were surveyed later in open hole. Independent programs of downhole deviationsurveying were also carried out to validate previous surveys. These programs utilised eitherelectronic continuous logging survey tool (AusLog A698 deviation tool) or gyroscopic surveyequipment. | ||
| 2019-20 RC drilling was carried out by Swick Mining Services truck-mounted Swick versionSchramm 685 RC Drill Rig (Rod Handler & Rotary Cone Splitter) with support air truck and dustsuppression equipment. Drilling utilised downhole face-sampling hammer bits (Ø 140mm). Themajority of drilling retrieved dry samples, with the occasional use of the auxiliary and booster aircompressors beneath the water table, to maintain dry sample return as much as possible. | ||
| 2019-20 RC was surveyed at regular downhole intervals (every 30m with an additional end-of-holesurvey) using electronic gyroscopic survey equipment. | ||
| AC/RAB | ||
| Historic AC drilling was conducted utilising suitable rigs with appropriate compressors (eg250psi/600cfm). AC holes were drilled using 'blade' or 'wing' bits, until the bit was unable topenetrate ('blade refusal'), often near the fresh rock interface. Hammer bits were used only when itwas deemed necessary to penetrate further into the fresh rock profile or through notable "hardboundaries" in the regolith profile. No downhole surveying is noted to have been undertaken on ACdrillholes. | ||
| Historic RAB drilling was carried out using small air compressors (eg 250psi/600cfm) and drill rods |

| fitted with a percussion hammer or blade bit, with the sample return collected at the drillholecollar using a stuffing box and cyclone collection techniques. Drillhole sizes generally rangebetween 75-110mm. No downhole surveying is noted to have been undertaken on RAB drillholes. | ||
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip samplerecoveries and results assessed.Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensurerepresentative nature of the samples.Whether a relationship exists between sample recoveryand grade and whether sample bias may have occurreddue to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. | DiamondHistoric core recovery was recorded in drill logs for most of the diamond drilling programs since1985. A review of historical reports indicates that core recovery was generally good (>80%) withlesser recoveries recorded in zones of broken ground and/or areas of mineralisation. Overallrecoveries are considered acceptable for resource estimation. |
| Recent core recovery data was recorded for each run by measuring total length of core retrievedagainst the downhole interval actually drilled and stored in the database. KIN representativescontinuously monitor core recovery and core presentation quality as drilling is conducted andissues or discrepancies are rectified promptly to maintain industry best standards. Core recoveriesaveraged >95%, even when difficult ground conditions were being encountered. When poor groundconditions were anticipated, a triple tube drilling configuration was utilised to maximize corerecovery | ||
| RC/AC/RAB | ||
| Historic sample recovery information for RC, AC, and RAB drilling is limited. | ||
| Recent RC drilling samples are preserved as best as possible during the drilling process. At the endof each 1 metre downhole interval, the driller stops advancing, retracts from the bottom of hole,and waits for the sample to clear from the bottom of the hole through to the sample collector boxfitted beneath the cyclone. The sample is then released from the sample collector box and passedthrough either a 3-tiered riffle splitter or cone splitter fitted beneath the sample box. | ||
| Drilling prior to 2018 utilised riffle split collection whereas sample collection via a cone splitter wasconducted for drilling undertaken since March 2018; cyclone cleaning processes remained thesame. | ||
| Sample reject is collected in plastic bags, and a 3-4kg sub-sample is collected in pre-marked calicobags for analysis. Once the samples have been collected, the cyclone, sample collector box andriffle splitter are flushed with compressed air, and the splitter cleaned by the off-sider using acompressed air hose at both the end of each 6 metre drill rod and then extensively cleaned at thecompletion of each hole. This process is maintained throughout the entire drilling program tomaximise drill sample recovery and to maintain a high level of representivity of the material beingdrilled. From 2020 sample rejects are placed on the ground. | ||
| RC drill sample recoveries are not recorded in the database however a review by Carras Mining PtyLtd (CM) in 2017, of RC drill samples stored in the field, and ongoing observations of RC drill rigs in |

| operation by KIN representatives, suggests that RC sample recoveries were mostly consistent andtypically very good (>90%). | ||
| Collected samples are deemed reliable and representative of drilled material and no materialdiscrepancy, that would impede a mineral resource estimate, exists between collected RC primaryand sub-samples. | ||
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologicallyand geotechnically logged to a level of detail to supportappropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studiesand metallurgical studies. | Logging data coded in the database, prior to 2014, illustrates at least four different lithological codesystems, a legacy of numerous past operators (Hunter, MPI, Metana, CIM, MEGM, Pacmin, SOG, andNavigator). Correlation between codes is difficult to establish however, based on historical reports,drill hole logging procedures appear consistent with normal industry practices of the time. |

| The total length and percentage of the relevantintersections logged. | Diamond | |
| Historical diamond core logging was recorded into drill logs for most of the diamond drillingprograms since 1985. A review of historical reports indicates that logging noted core recovery,fractures per metre and RQD, lithology, alteration, texture, mineralisation, weathering, and otherfeatures. Core was then marked up for cutting and sampling. | ||
| Navigator's procedure for logging of diamond core included firstly marking of the bottom of thecore (for successful core orientations), then recording of core recovery, fractures per metre andRQD, lithology, alteration, texture, mineralisation, weathering, and other features. Core was thenmarked up for cutting and sampling. Navigator DD logging is predominantly to geological contacts. | ||
| Navigator logging information was entered directly into hand held digital data loggers andtransferred directly to the database, after validation, to minimize data entry errors. | ||
| Drill core photographs, for drilling prior to 2014, are available only for diamond drillholescompleted by Navigator. | ||
| KIN DD logging is carried out on site once geology personnel retrieve core trays from the drill rigsite. Core is collected from the rig daily. The entire length of every hole is logged. Recorded dataincludes lithology, alteration, structure, texture, mineralisation, sulphide content, weathering andother features. Drillhole collar coordinates, azimuth, dip, depth and sampling intervals are alsorecorded. KIN DD logging is to geological contacts. | ||
| Qualitative logging includes classification and description of lithology, weathering, oxidation,colour, texture and grain size.

| Samples obtained from conventional RC drilling techniques with cross-over subs often sufferedfrom down hole contamination, especially beneath the water table. Samples obtained from RCdrilling techniques using the face sampling hammer suffered less from down hole contaminationand were more likely to be kept dry beneath the water table, particularly if auxiliary and booster aircompressors were used. These samples are considered to be representative. | ||
| The vast majority of Reverse Circulation (RC) drill samples were collected at 1m downhole intervalsfrom beneath a cyclone and then riffle split to obtain a sub-sample (typically 3-4kg). After splitting,1m sub-samples were typically collected in pre-numbered calico bags, and the 1m sample rejectswere commonly stored at the drill site in marked plastic bags, for future reference. First passsampling often involved collecting composite samples by using a scoop (dry samples) or spear/tube(wet samples) to obtain 3m or 4m composited intervals, with the single metre split sub-samplesbeing retained at the drill site. If the composite sample assays returned anomalous results, singlemetre sub-samples for the anomalous composite intervals were retrieved and submitted foranalysis. | ||

During the review, Carras Mininglogged the oxidation profiles (base of complete oxidation and top of fresh rock) for each of thedeposit areas, based on visual inspection of selected RC drill chips from KIN's recent drillingprograms, and a combination of historical and KIN drillhole logging. Final adjustments were madewith input from KIN geologists. The oxidation profiles were used to assign bulk densities andmetallurgical recoveries to the 2017 resource models. | ||
| Past bulk density test work has been inconsistent with incorrect methods employed, to derivespecific gravity or in-situ bulk density, rather than dry bulk density. Navigator (2009) and recent KIN(2017) bulk density test work was carried out using the water immersion method on oven dried,coated samples to derive dry bulk densities for different rock types and oxidation profiles. Thisinformation has been incorporated into the database for resource estimation work. CM conductedsite visits during 2017 to the laboratory to validate the methodology. | ||

| Locally within the Cardinia Project area, the stratigraphy consists of intermediate, mafic andfelsic volcanic and intrusive lithologies and locally derived epiclastic sediments, which strikeNNW, dipping steep-to-moderately to the west. Structural foliation of the areas stratigraphypredominantly dips steeply to the east but localised inflections are common and structuralorientation can vary between moderately (50-75°) easterly to moderately westerly dipping. | ||

| Geological interpretation | Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) thegeological interpretation of the mineral deposit. | The geological interpretation for Bruno-Lewis was carried out by Kin Mining on predominantly20m by 20m drill hole spacing, with some areas of tighter 10m x 10m grade control drilling andwider 20m+ spaced drilling. 7,602 drill holes were used in the mineralisation interpretationwhich consist of 4,318 RC, 46 DD, 1,546 RAB and 1,692 AC drill holes. The increased geologicalunderstanding of the project by Kin Mining though the 2020/2021 drilling program has guidedthe geological interpretation of Bruno-Lewis. The confidence in the interpretation is directlyreflected in the classification of the MRE. A nominal bottom cut-off of 0.4g/t Au was used in theinterpretation of the mineralised lodes, with a 'minimum mining width' allowance for inclusionof internal waste. |
| Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made | The Bruno-Lewis prospect stratigraphy constitutes a lower felsic volcanic unit which is overlainby a much thinner unit of felsic volcaniclastics interbedded with sediments (predominantlyshales and siltstones). This unit is in turn overlain by the mafic sequence comprising pillowbasalts with occasional dolerite units. At the approximate location of the Lewis trial pit, thestratigraphy is offset by faulting, exhibiting sinistral strike slip movement. This offsets thenorthern block to the SW by approximately 350m. The stratigraphy is intruded by several NEdipping felsic porphyry units as well as later Proterozoic dolerite dykes. | |
| The mineralisation model consists of the following: | ||
| Potassic Lodes (99 domains): Moderately NE-dipping, NW-striking primary mineralisation lodes,associated with and sub-parallel to the aforementioned NE-dipping porphyry intrusions.Characterised by potassic alteration, quartz stockwork veining and disseminated pyrite. 6different trends (Bruno, Liston, Cooper, Lewis, Cassius and Frazier) have so far been identified,with numerous lodes belonging to each. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Contact Lodes (41 domains): Moderate to steeply W-dipping, stratigraphy-parallel primarymineralisation lodes. Located on or near the stratigraphic contacts, or within the centralinterbedded volcaniclastic and sediment unit. Typically, pyrite-rich with limited strike extent.They have been divided into 'Contact North' and 'Contact South', separated by theaforementioned fault offset at the approximate location of the Lewis trial pit. Due to the deeperweathering in the north, and a lack of drilling into fresh rock, the Contact North lodes are muchmore poorly defined than the contact south lodes. Criteria for definition of continuity in thecontact lodes are not considered to be as reliable as those for the potassic lodes. | ||

| Each object of the interpreted mineralised lodes were given a unique object number,which were used to flag the drill hole database. Samples were composited to 1mdownhole within the flagged domains, using "best fit" methodology in Surpac with a 25%or 0.25m threshold for flagging "short" samples. These short composite samples werecompared to the longer ones and were found to not be biased in terms of gold grade,and so were incorporated in the gold grade interpolation. | ||
| Basic statistics for gold grade were calculated for all estimation domains in order tostatistically characterise each domain as well as identify statistical outliers. Most of thedomains have low-to-moderate CV following top capping for gold grade. The selection ofthe top cut value was aided using the histogram, log probability plots and the spatiallocation of the outlier. Distance limiting of high-grade composites was also applied to theestimate for the second pass interpolation run, in order to mitigate the spatial influence ofelevated Au grade and control grade smearing in areas of wider spaced drilling. Adistance limit grade threshold of 2g/t Au was applied and composites with a grade higherthan this were ignored at distances greater than 21m from the sample. | ||
| Cube used Isatis software to carry out the analysis of the spatial continuity of the datathrough variography. The analysis was carried out on the top cut 1m composites for themore well-informed domains. As the gold grade population is positively skewed, aGaussian transformation was applied to the data to convert the data to a standardnormal distribution. The Gaussian transformation reduces the effect of outliers and helpsto identify the underlying structure of the variable. The variogram models were thenback-transformed to real space for use in the estimation process. The nugget effect wasdefined using downhole variograms for the domain to be assessed. | ||
| Omnidirectional variogram models in the plane of the mineralised lodes (i.e. themajor/semi-major plane) were modelled for the experimental variograms for the mainshear and porphyry lodes. A high degree of anisotropy between the major/semi-majorplane and the minor (lode-perpendicular) direction was observed and modelled. Themodelled nugget values vary between 15% and 34% of the total sill and the modelledranges vary between 11 and 42m. Essentially, the various domain types were observedto have relatively similar spatial structure for gold grade, resulting in the choice of | ||

| relatively uniform search neighbourhood parameters for interpolation across all the lodes. | ||
| Kriging Neighbourhood Analysis ("KNA") was used to assist with assessing the mostappropriate search parameters especially with respect to minimum and maximumallowable samples (set at min=6 to max=16 throughout). A search radius ratio of 3:3:1was used for the major:semi:minor axis, respectively, based on the observed anisotropyratios in the variography. The search was divided into four sectors, with a maximum offour samples per sector allowed, in order to ensure that block estimates were informedfrom a range of directions. First pass interpolation runs used search radii of 21m:21m:7m(major:semi:minor) with just the top cuts implemented while Pass 2 search radii wereinflated until all remaining blocks were estimated. The distance limiting previouslydescribed was only implemented in Pass 2. Dynamic local rotations, set using digitisedtrend surfaces for each group of lodes, were used to locally vary both the variogram andsearch orientation during | ||

| Cube used Supervisor software to carry out the analysis of the spatial continuity of thedata through variography. The analysis was carried out on the top cut 1m composites forthe well-informed main shear domain.

| A south plunging structure can be identified from visual inspection of the grade distribution ofthe 1m composites.

The orientation can also be delineated in the variogram map on the dipplanes.Modelling the experimental variograms in the plunging direction could not, however,delineate short range structure due to widely spaced data. Therefore, omnidirectionalvariogram models in the plane of mineralisation were modelled for most of the wellinformed domains. The modelled nugget values vary between 50% and 65% of the totalsill and the modelled ranges vary between 3 to 30m. Variograms of the well-informeddomains were used for the less informed domains.

| In the case of block model interpolation, the block sizein relation to the average sample spacing and thesearch employed. | Drill spacing at Hobby is at 40m x 40m spacing on average. The parent and estimationblock size of the block model was chosen to be 20m x 20m x 5m in the XYZ directionsrespectively, which is half the drillhole spacing and within industry standard practice. Theparent cells were sub-blocked to 1.25mX x 1.25mY x 1.25mRL, for accuraterepresentation of the volume of the modelled lodes. | |
| Gold was estimated in a single pass using a search distance between 150 and 350m.The search ellipse was oriented to conform with the observed south plunging structurewith associated anisotropy for the main lode of the shear group and for the FW porphyry.The search ellipse for the HW porphyry was oriented to conform to the orientation of thecorresponding lode. A minimum and maximum number of samples of 6 and 16 to 20were used for the estimate. The very poorly informed domains were assigned thedeclustered top cut mean gold grade of the 1m composites of their respective domains. | ||

| Bulk density | Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, thebasis for the assumptions. If determined, the methodused, whether wet or dry, the frequency of themeasurements, the nature, size andrepresentativeness of the samples. | Bulk density measurements were collected from diamond drill core. The data collectedwere mainly in the transitional and fresh zone. There were not enough samples todistinguish between ore and waste and the sub-domaining was carried out basedprimarily on weathering status. The oxide zone was assigned a density value based onCube's experience. | |
| The bulk density for bulk material must have beenmeasured by methods that adequately account for voidspaces (vugs, porosity, etc), moisture and differencesbetween rock and alteration zones within the deposit. | Bulk Density work considered void spaces and were sealed prior to the wetmeasurement. | ||
