Leonora Gold Project Resource Update
- Resource audit complete at the Leonora Gold Project (LGP) with a combined 2012 JORC compliant Resource of 11.825Mt @ 1.9 g/t Au for 722,300 ozs.
- Positive outcome with all reviewed resources deemed robust and 2012 JORC compliant.
- Updated resources pave the way for commencement of Prefeasibility study at the LGP.
- Evaluation ongoing in other areas with the intention to convert advanced projects to 2012 JORC compliant resources.
Kin Mining NL (ASX: KIN) is pleased to report the completion of a Mineral Resource Estimation audit at its three main project areas in compliance with JORC 2012 reporting standards. The three areas Mertondale, Cardinia and Raeside have undergone an extensive review and data compilation to ensure the resources comply with JORC 2012 criteria.
Outcome of the audit revealed robust resources and the total Mineral Resources at the Leonora Gold Project (LGP) now stand at 11.825Mt @ 1.9 g/t Au for 722,300 ozs. Kin regard this outcome as positive and it now places the company in a strong position to advance the LGP to a Pre-feasibility stage.
Further evaluation of drill data in key areas within the LGP has commenced with the intention of converting the remaining advanced projects to resource status to add to the current 2012 JORC compliant resources. 49,118,690

Mertondale
Kin Mining is pleased to report the completion of a Mineral Resource Estimation at the Mertondale Mining Centre in compliance with the JORC 2012 reporting standard. The resources consist of six (6) deposits which have undergone an extensive audit procedure and data compilation. Total resources at Mertondale are 5.59Mt @ 2.2 g/t Au for 395,000 ozs.
For public reporting Kin has decided to apply an economic constraint to the global resource model. The constraint was determined using an AUD$2,000/oz gold price, in an open pit mining scenario. The Mertondale Mineral Resource estimate lying inside the pit shell using a 0.7 g/t Au cut-off is tabulated in Table 1.

Table 1 Mineral Resource estimate (JORC 2012) of the Mertondale area using a 0.7g/t Au cut-off.
The resource audit was conducted by Terry Topping who was contracted by Kin Mining, data compilation was carried out by Kin geologists. Resource estimation was carried out by McDonald Spiejers as independent consultants for Navigator Mining in 2009. The estimation was completed using a 'recovered fraction' technique. Recovered fraction is a probabilistic technique that estimates the volumetric proportion of each block likely to be above a particular cut-off grade. All parameters used in the estimation have been reviewed and deemed appropriate to comply with standards stated in the 2012 JORC Code. Further details pertaining to the resource estimation can be found in Appendix A.
Mertondale Geology
The Mertondale geology is comprised of a central felsic volcanic sequence bounded on either side by a tholeiitic basalt-dolerite-carbonaceous shale ± felsic porphyry sequence. The deposits lie along two independent major parallel shear structures that are spatially 500m apart. The western and eastern shear zone branches are generally located near the felsic volcanics/mafic contacts (Figure 1). Outcrop within the area is generally poor except in the Merton's Reward area. Oxidation at Mertondale is variable, being quite shallow (<5m) at Merton's Reward whilst being quite deep (approximately 80m) at Eclipse, with a combination of depletion and the presence of Permian sediments masking bedrock geochemistry.


Figure 1 Interpreted Geology of the Mertondale area highlighting Resource areas along the Mertondale Shear Zone.
Merton's Reward
Gold mineralisation at Mertondale varies between deposits, at the historic Merton's Reward underground mine, two types of lode were historically mined – shear lodes and intershear lodes.
Shear lodes consist of steeply dipping bodies, usually less than 1m thick and confined to shear zones. They are continuous for 50 to 100m along strike and down dip, and often average greater than 30 g/t Au. The lodes are highly cleaved parallel to their dip and strike, with abundant quartz-carbonate veinlets parallel to cleavage. Gold mineralisation is usually associated with 5 to 10% finely disseminated pyrite-arsenopyrite in a sheared and sericitised, carbonated basalt.
Intershear lodes consist of narrow, flat (0ᵒ to 40ᵒ) to moderately (40ᵒ to 60ᵒ) east to northeast dipping quartz veins, from which most of the gold at Merton's Reward was mined. The veins attain a maximum thickness of 40cm and are contained within a highly carbonated, pyritic alteration selvage up to 12m thick. The vein selvages contain up to 20% pyrite, 5% arsenopyrite and 90% ankerite and/or siderite, with gold typically concentrated in the central quartz veinlet which usually assays greater than 30 g/t Au. The selvage may grade up to 8 g/t Au.

Mertondale 3-4
At Mertondale 3-4, a series of steep east dipping, locally folded lenses of gold mineralisation have been delineated over strike lengths of at least 900m. Mineralised lenses are up to 35m thick and generally straddle the hangingwall porphyry-basalt contact. The strongest mineralisation is generally at this contact in highly foliated and altered porphyry and basalt. The porphyry unit occurs as a series of flattened, cigar-shaped bodies with dimensions of 200 to 300m along strike, up to 30m thick, and up to 75m down the foliation.

Figure 3 Oblique section looking north of the mineralised ore pods at Mertondale 3-4 with the existing open pit (brown).

Tonto and Quicksilver
The western branch of the fault zone typically contains black mafic mylonite, black shale, shale, quartz-dolerite, basalt, basaltic andesite and to the east, a felsic volcanic derived from a rhyolite. Felsic porphyritic intrusives occur irregularly along the fault zone. Generally, the black sulphidegraphite-rich mafic mylonite has a reasonably high background gold anomalism, in the order of 0.1 to 0.5 g/t Au.
The Tonto prospect extends over a strike length of about 1 km on the western branch of the Mertondale Fault Zone, between the Quicksilver and Eclipse prospects (Figure 1). Lithologies at Tonto are similar to Quicksilver – black mafic mylonite, a black shale, shale, quartz-dolerite, basalt, basaltic andesite and felsic volcanics. The steeply dipping high-grade lode at Tonto is more than likely to be structurally controlled, and appears to potentially have a shallow southerly plunge.

Eclipse
The Eclipse prospect extends over a strike length of about 2 km on the western branch of the Mertondale Fault Zone, immediately north of Tonto and south of Mertondale 5 (Figure 1).
At Eclipse, the geology appears to have changed in comparison to Tonto. The mafic mylonite is present, but is much more discontinuous, whereas the quartz-dolerite is not restricted to the footwall and appears within the central mafic unit quite regularly. A shale unit is also common place throughout Eclipse.
A shallow, flat-dipping to horizontal sulphidic quartz vein has been traced over approximately 150 m in the southern to central portions of Eclipse. This vein contains fresh arsenopyrite and pyrite within the quartz, and assays typically return very high gold values.

Mertondale 5
The Mertondale 5 prospect extends over a strike length of about 1.5 km on the western branch of the Mertondale Shear Zone, immediately north of Eclipse (Figure 1).
The Mertondale 5 mineralisation is hosted in a north-south striking sequence of carbonate/sericite schists, graphitic schists and quartz-feldspar porphyries. The unit is relatively narrow, at 5 to 15 m wide, is bounded to the west by chloritised/carbonated basalts, and to the east by quartz feldspar porphyries containing up to 50% by volume of pyrite and some graphitic schists with high percentages of pyrite.

Cardinia
Kin Mining is pleased to report the completion of a mineral resource estimation in the Cardinia area in compliance with the JORC 2012 reporting standard. The Bruno-Lewis-Kyte Resource now stands at 3.4Mt @ 1.3 g/t Au for 139,000 ozs (Table 2).
Kin have highlighted the Bruno-Lewis-Kyte (BLK) Resource as a shallow supergene deposit amenable to a staged open pit mine scenario (ASX announcement 19/12/14). The BLK Resource is earmarked as an early entry point to production as 96% of the current resource lies within the shallow free dig oxide zone within the regolith. The confidence of the resource estimation is robust, with 39% of the resource (54,800 ozs) in the Indicated category.

Cardinia Geology
The Cardinia tenements overlie a sequence of intermediate-mafic and felsic volcanic lithologies and locally derived epiclastic sediments (Figure 7). These lithologies are on the western limb of the regionally faulted south-plunging Benalla Anticline. Minor felsic porphyries and lamprophyre lithologies have been recognised within and adjacent to the Lewis and Bruno areas. At Lewis these intrusive rocks are often associated with mafic-felsic contacts. The eastern edge of the Bruno-Lewis system has been intruded by a dolerite sill. The regional lithological strike is 345° and lithological contacts dip between 30ᵒ and 40ᵒ to the west while foliation trends dip moderately to the east.
Interpretation of cross sections, in conjunction with detailed mapping, has shown a series of mineralised structures evident as quartz-ironstone veining and float in outcrop. At Lewis, the primary mineralisation is interpreted to dip from 40° to 70° to the east and lenses vary in width from 1m to around 7m true thickness.
Primary gold mineralisation is associated with zones of increased shearing in association with lithological contacts between the mafic and felsic rocks. Disseminated carbonate-sericite-quartzpyrite alteration zones are present adjacent to the gold mineralisation characterised by increased quartz veining, silicification and shearing.
The deeply weathered nature of the sub-cropping zones of mineralisation has resulted in variable zones of depletion, ranging from 0m to 20m deep, with subsequent supergene enrichment occurring beneath the depleted zone and extending, in places, to at least 50m deep. Surface silicification is apparent in the top 4m.


Figure 7 Regional Geology of the LPG highlighting the location of the Bruno-Lewis-Kyte (BLK) Resource.

Bruno-Lewis-Kyte
In the Bruno-Lewis-Kyte resource area, virtually all of the known Mineral Resources are associated with flat-lying to shallow-dipping zones of mineralisation, thought to be related to supergene gold. These zones have an east-west extent of up to 400m and they range over a strike (320° to 340°) length of up to 2.6km (Figure 8). Vertical thicknesses vary from 0m to 30m, with an average of about 5m to 10m. Grades can be highly variable in adjacent drill holes; however, continuity appears to be generally quite good, at even a 0.5 g/t gold lower cut-off grade. This supergene mineralisation cuts across all weathered lithologies without any obvious effects.
The resource estimate was original undertaken by Runge Limited (2009) and subsequently edited and audited by Kin employees. Mineralised envelopes were constructed by digitising cross section interpretations using a 0.1g/t to 0.2 g/t Au cut off. Resource outlines were generally extrapolated to a distance of half-way between mineralised and unmineralised holes/sections. Weathering and topographic surfaces were generated using drill hole data and creating digital terrain models (DTMs) using Surpac software. A block model was created to encompass the full extent of the Bruno-Lewis mineralised trend. Separate block models were created for the higher density drill areas of Bruno Grade Control and the Lewis Grade Control areas. The resource model is undiluted.
The Ordinary Kriging algorithm was used for grade interpolation. For public reporting Kin has decided to apply an economic constraint to the global resource model. The constraint was determined using an AUD$2,000/oz gold price, in an open pit mining scenario. The BLK Mineral Resource Estimate lying inside the pit shell using a 0.7 g/t Au cutoff is tabulated in Table 2.

Further details of the resource estimation calculation can be found in the JORC 2012 Tables in Appendix B.

Helen's and Rangoon
Kin Mining is pleased to advise that a Mineral Resource estimation has been calculated for Helens South, Helens North and Rangoon areas (Table 3). The resources are constrained inside a $2,000/oz pit shell, the Indicated and Inferred Resource totals - 1,267,000t @ 1.3 g/t Au for 53,900 ozs (0.7g/t Au cut-off).
The Mineral Resource is classified as Indicated and Inferred on the basis of drill density and associated sample support. The calculation includes data from 393 drill holes of which 4,682m of drilling are mineralised intersections that have been used in the resource. Drilling includes 45 Aircore holes, 337 RC holes and 11 Diamond holes. The majority of resource is tested at 10m hole spacing on 25m EW sections although some portions of the resource are tested at 50m spacing's. Overall the QA/QC results are acceptable. The resource model is undiluted. Further details of the resource estimation calculation can be found in the JORC 2012 Tables in Appendix C.

Table 3 Mineral Resource estimate (JORC 2012) of the Helen's and Rangoon Resource using a 0.7g/t Au cutoff.
Helens and Rangoon Geology
The Helen's and Rangoon Mineral Resource Estimation consist of sub-vertical gold mineralisation within mafic and felsic lithologies located on the western limb of the Benalla Anticline, 30km NE of Leonora. Lithological layering within the tenements strikes NW to NNW and dips are orientated gently to steeply to the south west.
Gold mineralisation extends over 3 kilometers of strike and up to 115m deep (Figures 9 and 10). Subvertical mineralisation is associated with narrow (1-5m) steeply dipping zones of shearing and quartz development.
The resource estimate was original undertaken by Runge Limited (2009) and subsequently edited and audited by Kin employees. Mineralised envelopes were constructed by digitising cross section interpretations using a 0.25 g/t Au cut off. The block dimensions used in the model were 12.5m NS by 5m EW by 5m vertical, with sub-cells of 6.25m by 2.5m by 2.5m respectively. A high grade cut of 15g/t has been applied to the assay data.
The Ordinary Kriging algorithm was used for grade interpolation. For public reporting Kin has decided to apply an economic constraint to the global resource model. The constraint was determined using an AUD$2,000/oz gold price, in an open pit mining scenario. The Mineral Resource Estimate lying inside the pit shell using a 0.7 g/t Au cutoff is tabulated in Table 3.

Raeside
Kin Mining is pleased to report the completion of a Mineral Resource Estimation at Raeside in compliance with the JORC 2012 reporting standard. The resources consist of three (3) deposits and each has undergone an extensive audit procedure and data compilation. Total resources at Raeside are 1.57Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 134, 000 ozs (Table 4).
The estimation was completed by McDonald Spiejers (2009) using a 'recovered fraction' technique. Recovered fraction is a probabilistic technique that estimates the volumetric proportion of each block likely to be above a particular cut-off grade. The audit was carried out by Terry Topping who was contracted by Kin Mining, data compilation was carried out by Kin geologists. For public reporting Kin has decided to apply an economic constraint to the global resource model. The constraint was determined using an AUD$2,000/oz gold price, in an open pit mining scenario.

Table 4 Mineral Resource estimate (JORC 2012) of the Raeside Resource using a 0.7g/t Au cutoff.
Raeside Geology
The Raeside prospect is hosted by a mixed package of fine-grained sediments and a quartz dolerite unit. The dolerite is sill-like in nature, and roughly conforms to observed bedding trends. The dolerite is fine to medium grained with extensive chlorite alteration. Discontinuities and breaks in diamond core are predominantly oriented along foliation planes, and slickensides are prominent throughout.
Gold mineralisation is hosted in a series of stacked, irregular, sub-parallel structures which dip shallowly to the east. Higher gold grades are generally associated with increased quartz/carbonate veining and varying levels of iron alteration. Veins are predominately stockwork in nature and widths of massive veining are generally less than 1m.
Gold mineralisation at Michelangelo is hosted by a uniform metamorphosed medium grained dolerite. Gold mineralisation at Leonardo occurs mainly in a partly graphitic shale close to a mafic contact. Gold mineralisation at Forgotten Four and Krang is hosted mainly in mafic rocks with some association with contact zones between mafic and metasediment units, at the Forgotten Four the strongest zone of mineralisation is just below the lower contact of the overlying sediments.
Most of the mineralised zones contain weak stockworks or sheeted veins usually a few centimetres thick and rarely >1-2m, predominantly quartz or quartz-carbonate accompanied below the base of


oxidation by disseminated to stringer sulphides (mostly pyrite and minor arsenopyrite).

Managing Director Trevor Dixon said "The team have been very busy over the last few months evaluating the resources within the Leonora Gold Project. We are now in a position where the hard work has paid off and are confident that these resources stand up and are now 2012 JORC compliant. There still remains scope for smaller deposits to be included into the resource base and the geo's are working through that now. The current resource base of 11,825,000 tonnes at 1.9 grams per tonne for 722,300 ounces of gold is an excellent platform for Kin to advance the project to the Pre-feasibility stage."

Appendix A Mertondale SECTION 1 – Sample Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Samplingtechniques | The various mineralised lodes at Mertondale have been sampled in a variety of ways dependenton the drill technique. The majority of diamond core (NQ or HQ) was longitudinally cut half coreand occasionally quarter core for larger (HQ) diameter holes. Sample intervals (diamond) variedfrom 0.1-1.3m but were predominantly 1m intervals. The vast majority of RC samples werecollected via a cyclone or riffle splitter (typically a 3kg sample) and collected/bagged at 1mintervals. Composite scoop samples were often collected at 3m or 4m intervals with follow upcollection of the original riffle split 1m samples over anomalous intervals. On occasion wetsamples were encountered and in the case of Navigator spear sampled, data relating tohistorical earlier wet samples is unavailable however the number of wet samples involved isconsidered to be very low. The procedure for Aircore sampling is similar to RC except the reject,following riffle splitting, is placed on the ground and not stored in bags. |
| Drillingtechniques | Numerous phases of drilling have been conducted by various companies including diamond, RCAircore and RAB drilling, the data base consists of 6,801 drill holes. The percentages of diamonddrilling the Mertondale deposits is very small apart from Mertondale 3-4 and Mertondale 5however the database fails to distinguish between RC pre-collars and core intervals. Reportsindicate the core was dominantly HQ or NQ size but database details are incomplete. Corerecoveries are reportedly good, particularly the Navigator drilling; however no confirmation isentered into the database. |
| Reverse circulation (RC) drilling is the dominate drill type at all sites except Eclipse whereAircore holes dominate the resource estimate. Pre-Navigator RC drilling information is limitedhowever suitable large rigs fitted with auxiliary and booster compressors were probably used.Recent RC drilling conducted by Navigator was conducted with suitable rigs equipped withauxiliary and booster compressors and face sampling hammers, bit diameters were typically5.25 inches. | |
| The vast majority of Aircore drilling was conducted by Navigator utilising suitable rigs (eg250psi, 600cfm). Aircore holes were drilled mostly into the weathered zone using blade bits.Hammer bits were used only when necessary on harder rock types. Holes were typically 50-60mdeep. When drilling under dry conditions Aircore samples should be of a comparable quality toRC drilling and sampling techniques. | |
| Rotary Air Blast (RAB) drilling is used as a first pass shallow exploration drilling tool. RAB drillingis prone to sample biases and downhole contamination. The RAB holes were used as a guide tosupport the geological interpretation but were all omitted from the final resource calculation. | |
| Drill samplerecovery | Core recovery data is not presented in the database although Navigator core recovery wasreported to be good. Regarding Aircore and RC drilling, due to the lack of information in thedatabase, no quantitative or semi-quantitative impression of sample recovery or sample qualityis available, it's assumed to be satisfactory. No indication of sample bias is evident nor has itbeen established. |
| Historical reports indicate diamond core was cut longitudinally, mostly half core with quartercore from larger HQ diameter core, samples are overwhelmingly 1m. RC and Aircore samplingwere collected at 1m intervals via a cyclone or riffle split to approximately 3kg. Some earlierholes, pre-Navigator, were samples at 1.5m intervals and a substantial portion of the historicalMPI holes were samples over 2-4m intervals. | |
| During Navigators drill programs some samples were spear sampled when returned wet, this isregarded as poor sampling procedure and these samples are regarded as unreliable howeverthe total number of wet samples is considered to be very low. It's unknown how pre-Navigator |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| wet samples were handled. | |
| No relationship was observed between sample recovery and grade. | |
| Logging | The logging data coded in the database uses at least four different lithological code systems, alegacy of numerous past operators; this obscures the significance of much of the coded data. Nodetails of pre-Navigator drill hole logging procedures were located however loggingmethodologies appear consistent with normal industry practices of the time. |
| Navigator RC and Aircore logging was entered on a metre by metre basis recording lithology,alteration, texture, mineralisation, weathering and other features. The information was entereddirectly into hand held digital data loggers and transferred directly to the database.

| Navigator's procedure for diamond core was initially orientation and marking of the bottom ofthe core. Core recovery, fractures per metre and RQD was recorded. The core was geologicallylogged recording lithologies and marked for sampling. Several geotechnical holes were loggedfor structural data by Geotechnical Consultants. All the diamond core has been photographed. | |
| All drill holes are logged in full to the end of hole. | |
| Subsampling | The history of sample preparation and assaying procedures is incomplete and complex.Numerous assay laboratories and numerous assay techniques have been used over the life ofthe project. |
| techniquesand samplepreparation | Historical core, in storage, where sampled is generally half core, it's assumed and confirmedfrom surviving reports that half core was routinely sampled. Sample intervals were based onlithological contacts and sample intervals varied from 0.1-1.3m but were predominantly overone metre intervals. |
| Prior to 1996 limited information indicates most RC sampling was conducted over 1m intervalsvia riffle splitting. RC sampling procedures are believed to be consistent with the normalindustry practices of the day. Navigator collected a 3kg riffle splits over the drilled metre at therig but initially submitted a scooped 4m composite for analysis, anomalous intervals werecollected (at the original 1m intervals) pulverised (85% passing 75µ) and assayed. The vastmajority of samples were dry but when wet a spear sample technique was used. Sons of Gwalia(SGW) followed a similar procedure but used 3m composites. Aircore sampling also followed asimilar procedure. This type of sampling procedure is widely used in the gold mining industryand the sample size is considered appropriate for this style of mineralisation. | |
| Available reports covering the pre-Navigator drilling make no mention of systematic samplingand assaying quality control protocols; only limited information is available regarding checkassays. Navigator often submitted standards or blanks every 20 samples. Standards wereinserted more frequently than blanks. | |
| A variety of laboratories were used for analysis, Navigator did not routinely collect and submitduplicate samples from RC and Aircore drilling to the same laboratory consequently overallsampling and assay precision levels can't be determined. | |
| While QC protocols were not comprehensive the results indicate that assay results fromNavigators exploration programs were reliable. Results from previous owners are regarded asconsistent with normal industry practices of the time |

| Quality ofassaydata andlaboratorytests | The project has a complex and incomplete history of sample preparation and assay procedures.Numerous laboratories and several analytical techniques have been used over the years. Priorto 1996 the incomplete nature of the historic data results could not be accurately quantified interms of the data derived from the combinations of various laboratories and analyticalmethodologies. Navigator utilised six different laboratories during their drilling programsalthough Kalgoorlie Assay Laboratories conducted the majority of assaying on diamond, RC andAircore samples. |
| Since 1996 most of the samples were field split and prepared for assay via crushing to a nominal85-90% passing 75µm. Fire Assay techniques were conducted on diamond, RC and Aircorehowever an AAS determination following Aqua Regia digest was generally a first pass RCdetection method. Mineralised intervals were subsequently Fire Assayed (usually a 40 gramcharge) AAS finish. Aqua Regia digest with an AAS finish was also a first pass detection methodfor Aircore holes with subsequent 1m fire assays however 15-20% of the Aircore holes may havebeen subject to Aqua Regia digest methods only. | |
| Tabulations of old significant Hunter RC oxide zone intercepts from Merton's Reward andMertondale 3/4 recorded average grades for both Aqua Regia (AR) and Fire Assay (FA),confirming that there was no significant bias between AR/AAS and FA techniques. Lengthweighted grades were almost identical for 800m of aggregate intercepts suggesting very lowrisk of bias associated with the portion of utilised Aqua Regia results. Some low grade (<1g/t Au)assays from Hunter holes are probably Aqua Regia results as opposed to Fire Assay however theproportion cannot be quantified. | |
| Navigator regularly submitted standards and blanks to the analytical laboratories, standards orblanks were submitted on average every 20 samples. | |
| Fire Assay is considered to be a total analytical technique, Aqua Regia acid digest is consideredto be a partial analytical technique. | |
| No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations used in the resourceestimate. | |
| Verificationof samplingandassaying | The returned significant intersections have been verified by company geologists and McDonaldSpeijers (January 2009) however pre Navigator information has limitations due to the legacy ofdifferent companies and different procedures. The results from all phases of diamond, RC andAircore drilling have been accepted on face value. Core recovery information is not presented inthe database. There is always a risk that sampling or assaying biases may exist between resultsfrom different drilling programs this may be due to differing sampling protocols, differentlaboratories and different analytical techniques. |
| It is assumed that diamond, RC and Aircore samples were equally representative. Severaldiamond holes, twining RC holes in the resource model, were drilled for metallurgical test work. | |
| The use of twinned holes is limited, however where used grade correlation exists. | |
| Generally by the mid 1980's face sample hammers were in use however earlier RC drilling mayhave used crossover sub-assemblies which are more prone to down-hole contamination. Thereis no concrete information regarding the frequency of wet sample however the use of boostercompressors would allow the majority of holes to be dry. | |
| The history of sample preparation and assaying procedures is complex and incomplete.Numerous laboratories and analytical methods have been used over the years. It's assumedthat sampling and assay procedures were followed to the standards of the day, grades for mostdiamond and RC drill holes in mineralised zones have been obtained by fire assay. | |
| 92% of the assay records in 50 randomly selected check holes were validated with <0.2% |

| discrepancies, the very small proportion of discrepancies indicated that the assay database wasprobably reliable. | |
| No adjustments or calibrations are made to any of the assay data recorded in the database. | |
| Location ofdata points | A local grid was originally established prior to 1985 however a small angular error in the baseline resulted in substantial errors in the northern portion of the project; the points weretransformed firstly to AMG and subsequently to MGA (GDA94 zone51). This resulted in differenttransformations to be applied in the northern and southern parts of the area. Navigatorrecognised errors in the collar co-ordinates resulting from the transformation, a significantnumber of holes were resurveyed and a new MGA transformation generated, this exerciseappeared to eliminate the offset. |
| Old collars have been validated against the original local grid co-ordinates and independentlytransformed to MGA co-ordinates and checked against the database. Navigator's MGA coordinates were checked against the surveyor's reports. Where variations in the MGA coordinate system were detected geologists deemed the errors were not large enough to have amaterial impact on the resource models. | |
| Considering the history of grid transformations and various problems recorded in the survivingdocumentation there must be some residual risk of error in the MGA co-ordinates for old drillholes, particularly in the northern area. All recent work conducted by Navigator was conductedin MGA using differential GPS equipment and a network of survey controls. General surveycontrol appears to have been satisfactory. | |
| Navigator supplied a digital terrain model of the topography, constructed from drill holes, Kin'sgeologists believe the model is sufficiently accurate for resource estimation purposes. | |
| Almost all the diamond and a small portion of the RC holes were downhole surveyed, preNavigator single shot survey cameras were used with typical survey intervals of about 30-40m,there were some correction between magnetic and grid azimuths (2°-0.9°) however Kin'sgeologists deemed the corrections small enough to be acceptable. Aircore holes and most ofthe RC holes were not down hole surveyed, as was the general practice of the day. | |
| All diamond drilling conducted by Navigator were surveyed down hole using a single shot ormulti-shot survey camera, at least 80% of the RC holes drilled by Navigator were also surveyedusing similar instruments. | |
| Dataspacinganddistribution | The drill hole spacing is project specific and the current drilling patterns vary considerablythroughout the project area however in the modelled mineralised areas they typically involvedholes spaced at about 15-25m along east-west lines 20-30m apart. The majority of the holeswere drilled grid west at a dip of about -60°. The Quicksilver and Eclipse areas had the leastregular drill patterns. Line spacing's in the Eclipse area were commonly 50m and as much as100m apart. |
| Drill spacing is sufficient to establish mineral resources and classifications applied. | |
| Sample composting occurs in a portion of the resources however the vast majority of assayintervals are 1m split samples (Aircore and RC). Diamond core was predominantly sampled at1m intervals | |
| Orientationofdata inrelationto | Most of the known gold mineralisation is hosted in sheared mafics, with local porphyry bodiesand sedimentary units. Mineralisation is hosted by the Mertondale Shear Zone (MSZ) in twodistinct mineralised trends. The western edge of the Mertondale Shear hosts Quicksilver –Tonto - Eclipse - Mertondale 5 while the MSZ (main structure) hosts Merton's Reward -Mertondale 2 - Mertondale 3/4. Mineralisation is associated with varying intensities ofcarbonate, potassic and silica alteration (Quartz-sericite-carbonate + sulphides within a broader |

| geologicalstructure | envelope of carbonate alteration). Felsic intrusive porphyry's have a close association with themineralisation. |
| Detailed subsurface interpretation of the geology of the individual deposits is hampered byinconsistencies in the geological logging code system due to the various companies involved andthe different phases of drilling. Structurally the deposits are deformed, sheared and describedas complex. | |
| The rocks are generally foliated with the foliation apparently parallel to sub-parallel to thelithological layering. The rocks within the shear zone are highly foliated and deformed. The MSZis not a simple single structure; it consists of two main branches along the eastern and westernmargins of a broad north-south trending diffuse structural shear feature up to 500m wide. | |
| At Mertondale 3/4 mineralisation is associated with the intrusive porphyry contact; the contactcan be used as a mineralisation guide. At other sites, due to the lack of geological framework inthe database, no interpretation of host stratigraphy or local structures has been developedapart from the observation that the further north and in the western shear steep, shear relatedmineralisation is dominant. | |
| The geological confidence levels relating to the lack of geological interpretation with respect tomineralisation are reduced north of Mertondale 3/4. There were often glaring inconsistenciesbetween lithological codes in adjacent holes due to the compound history of lease ownership. | |
| No orientation sampling bias has been identified in the data thus far. | |
| Holes are drilled orthogonal to the interpreted strike of the target horizon. Holes arepredominantly -60° and on occasion vertical when targeting the MSZ | |
| Samplesecurity | No sample security details are available for pre-Navigator samples. Numbered and compiledNavigator drill samples were collected from the field on a daily basis and transported to asecure yard in Leonora. They were then processes and packaged into 'bulkabag sacks' fortransport to the assay laboratory. No particular security measures were imposed apart fromsealing the sacks and storage in a secure yard. |
| Audits orreviews | A review of sampling and drilling techniques by Kin Mining and others indicates that they wereconducted to the best practice industry standards of the day although historic drilling andsampling methods and QA/QC are regarded as weaker than today's current standards. Coresamples based on geological boundaries or 1m intervals were mostly half core however somewas quarter core. RC samples were usually riffle split at the rig at metre intervals, a 3m (SGW)or 4m (Navigator) composite was collected from the reject and assayed, any anomalous interval(typically >0.1g/t Au) was retrieved at split 1m intervals and assayed. Some (MPI) RC samples(<0.5% of all RC drilling) were collected over 1.5m, 2m or 4m intervals. Aircore samplingfollowed a similar procedure to RC except the rejects from the riffle split were stored on theground and not bagged. The number of wet samples is believed to be very low however theintervals and quantity involved can't be quantified.The data has been validated in Datashed and in Surpac prior to resource estimation. Theseprocesses checked for holes that are missing data, missing intervals, overlapping intervals, databeyond end-of-hole, holes missing collar co-ordinates, and holes with duplicate collar coordinates. |

Third parties hold production royalties of up to $2 per dry tonnemined and milledon various tenements within the Mertondale group. An annualcompensation payment ($10,000) is payable to the Mertondale Pastoral Lease holder uponcommencement of mining related activities. | |
| The tenements are in good standing with no known impediments. | |
| Explorationdone byother parties | Gold was initially discovered in the area at Merton's Reward in 1899, underground miningbegan almost immediately. Modern exploration (1981-84) was conducted on a limited scale,around Merton's Reward by Telluride Mining NL, Nickelore NL, International Nickel (Aust) Ltdand Petroleum Securities Mining Pty Ltd. Hunter Resources Ltd commenced majorexploration drill programmes in 1984 discovering Mertondale 2 and Mertondale 3/4. |
| Open pit mining commenced in 1986 at Mertondale 4, in 1987 Hunter was taken over byTechnomin Australia NL, mining ceased in late 1988. Hunter's interest in the project was soldto Harbour Lights Mining Ltd (HML) who delineated the Mertondale 5 deposit and resumedmining in 1990. In 1990 Ashton Gold WA Ltd gained control of HML and continued mininguntil 1993. In 1993 Ashton's interest was transferred to Aurora Gold Ltd and a Joint Venture(JV) established between Mining Project Investors Pty Ltd (MPI) and Ashton, minor drillingprogrammes were conducted. | |
| In 1996 Sons of Gwalia (SGW) entered into a JV with Aurora eventually acquiring (1997) theentire project, only modest drill programmes were conducted (1996-99). In 2004 NavigatorResources Ltd purchased the Mertondale project area conducting numerous substantial drillprogrammes (2004-2009) delineating and defining the six resources. The JORC (2004)Resource Estimate for the six deposits released in 2009 comprised an Indicated and InferredResource of 5.6Mt @ 2.20g/t Au (395,000ozs). | |
| Reported total historic production (1899-1991) from the Mertondale area amounts to274,000oz of gold. Production was sourced from three main areas Mertondale 3/4 pit - 1.3Mt@ 4.3g/t Au, Mertondale 5 Pit - 385,000t @ 2.56g/t Au and Merton's Reward undergroundmine - 90,000t @ 21g/t Au. Kin Mining NL purchased the Leonora Gold project from theNavigator administrator in late 2014. | |
| Geology | The Mertondale Project is located 20-40km NE of Leonora in the central part of theNorseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt. In broad terms the stratigraphy consists of a central felsicvolcanic sequence bound by tholeiitic basalt, dolerite, and carbonaceous shale ± felsicporphyry sequences. The Mertondale Shear consists of two distinct branches which aregenerally located near the contacts between the felsic sequences and the adjoining maficsequences. |
| The six recognised deposits and all the known mineralisation is within the Mertondale Shear |

| Zone. The majority of the gold mineralisation is hosted by sheared mafic rocks with localporphyry intrusives and sedimentary units. Two distinct parallel structures are recognisedover a strike length of approximately 12km. The Western Shear trend, in the north, runsthrough the Quicksilver, Tonto, Eclipse and Mertondale 5 deposits. The Mertondale Shear, inthe south, trends northwest from Merton's Reward and Mertondale 2 through to Mertondale3/4. | |
| Drill holeInformation | In all 6,801 drill holes have been sourced and included in the Mineral Resource estimation. Itis impractical to list a table of drill hole details in this report format. |
| Exploration results are not material to this report; the Mineral Resource Estimate is based onall available historic and modern Diamond, RC, Aircore and RAB drilling data. | |
| DataAggregationmethods | Individual grades are reported as down hole length weighted averages, sample lengths in themineralised zones in all deposits were overwhelmingly 1m. Less than 5% of the total metreswere quotes as composite intervals and less than 2% were intervals shorter than 1m.Composite lengths of 1m or integer multiples of a metre are deemed to be satisfactory andcompatible with the sample lengths. |
| Top cut thresholds for Au were selected following analysis of the assay populations on a zoneby zone basis including: examination of cumulative log-probability plots for inflections nearhigh grade extremities, Iterative tests to determine top cuts required to bring arithmeticmeans into line with lognormal mean estimations, inspection of log histograms (to assesshigh values) and Inspection of cross sections to determine if extreme high values arescattered or form coherent high grade ore shoots. | |
| No metal equivalent values are reported. All values are Au (ppm). Top cuts selected rangedfrom 1.5-80g/t Au, some low grade zones didn't require top cutting. These were typically inthe order of 5-15g/t Au for the weaker, lower grade zones and 20-40g/t Au for the majormore strongly developed zones. | |
| RelationshipBetweenMineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths | Varying lode geometry is present in the Mertondale Shear but the effective strike of thedeposits is NS, at Merton's Reward: ore zones display steep shear zones, flatter NE dippingzones and E-NE intershear zones with a northerly plunge. At Mertondale 3/4 the ore zonedisplays a shallow east dipping body that becomes more vertical with depth. At Quicksilvermineralised zones dip steeply (80°E-85°W) and strike 010°. At Tonto mineralised zonestypically dip 85°E and strike 0-005°. At Eclipse mineralisation trends 355° with a steep dip andat Mertondale 5 the mineralisation strikes 355° degrees and dips 85°W-85°E. |
| The vast majority of holes are generally orientated west at -60° however some holes aredrilled vertical, grid drill spacing is varied depending on the deposit and drill holes traces areusually at an optimum angle or close to practicable true width to the mineralisation. | |
| Diagrams | Relevant "type example" plans and diagrams are included in this report. |
| BalancedReporting | The available database includes a large inherited data set compiled by previous ownersdating back to 1982. There are limitations in the amount of information provided in the dataset. It has not been possible to fully verify the reliability and accuracy of a substantialproportion of the data however it appears that no serious problems have occurred andvalidation check results were within acceptable limits. In general recent data is more reliable.The Quicksilver, Tonto and Eclipse models are supported predominantly by Navigator drilling.More than 50% of the drilling data for the Merton's Reward model is sourced from Navigatorwith a substantial portion from Hunter. The Mertondale 3/4 model is based on a combinationof old Hunter and recent Navigator drilling while the Mertondale 5 model is largely based onold drilling by Harbour Lights. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Considering the complex history of grid transformations there must be some residual risk inconverting old grids to GDA 94 although generally the survey control appears to besatisfactory. | |
| Navigator also supplied data pertaining to the underground workings, old open cuts andmullock dumps although independently verified they have been accepted on face value. Inthe case of Merton's Reward underground mine expansion adjustments were made to reflectthe historic mined tonnage, the adjustment is considered to be conservative. | |
| There is always an area of technical risk associated with resource tonnage and gradeestimations. | |
| OtherSubstantiveexplorationdata | Exploration results are not being reported. |
| Further work | Follow-up resource definition drilling is very likely to occur; the mineralisation along theMertondale Shear Zone remains open in various directions, particularly at depth. Anyadditional exploration drilling is expected to test not only depth extensions but alsoextensions along strike. |

Collected and compiled by numerous previousowners including Nickelore - Carr Boyd 1982, 1986-87, Hunter 1984-88, Harbour Lights1988-91, Mining Project Investors 1994-95, Sons of Gwalia 1996-99 and Navigator 2004-08among others. Pre-Navigator data is limited due to the time lag (up to 33 years); thedatabase could not be fully verified regarding the reliability and accuracy of a substantialportion of the historical data. |
| Database checks conducted by Kin and others are within acceptable limits, there is missingdata however it is regarded as minimal. It is not possible to identify errors that might haveoccurred prior or during digital tabulation. Geological control in the database is generallyweak, some of the digital lithological data was never captured and no validation wasconductedonthegeologicaldata.Inaddition,duetodifferentloggingtechniques/companies/codes there were many lithological inconsistencies betweenadjoining holes. | |
| The data has been validated in Datashed and in Surpac prior to resource estimation. Theseprocesses checked for holes that are missing data, missing intervals, overlapping intervals,data beyond end-of-hole, holes missing collar co-ordinates, and holes with duplicate collarco-ordinates. Navigator uploaded the original assay files received from the labs via adatabase administrator using Datashed to minimise loading errors. An export of the datawas then used to create an access database for use in Surpac.Kin geologists have verified historic drilling/assays/geological logs/survey against thedatabase including viewing old reports and visual checks in Surpac. | |

| GeologicalInterpretation | At Mertondale 3/4 gold mineralisation is associated with the intrusive porphyry contact;the contact can be used as a mineralisation guide or marker horizon. The geologicalconfidence levels relating to the lack of geological interpretation with respect tomineralisation are reduced north of Mertondale 3/4. There were often inconsistenciesbetween lithological codes in adjacent holes however confidence in the geologicalinterpretation remains high and no alternative interpretation is envisaged. |
| Geological interpretation of Merton's Reward is largely based on the historic workings andthus has a sufficient level of confidence in the interpretation. | |
| The western branch of the fault zone typically contains black mafic mylonite, a black shale,shale, quartz-dolerite, basalt, basaltic andesite and to the east, a felsic volcanic derivedfrom a rhyolite. Felsic porphyritic intrusives occur irregularly along the fault zone.Generally, the black sulphide-graphite-rich mafic mylonite has reasonably high backgroundgold anomalism, in the order of 0.1 to 0.5 g/t Au. | |
| Geological data used includes lithology, mineral percentages (such as quartz veining andsulphides) to identify lode positions, weathering codes, rock colour, texture and foliation.Geological codes are assumed to have been logged consistently by various geologist,though it is likely that some variations between drillholes are due to different logging stylesor interpretations. | |
| The 3D wire frame interpretations of the mineralisation trends were supplied by Navigator.Slight modifications to the interpretation by previous independent consultants were madebefore regenerating the wireframes. The base of complete oxidation and the base of partialoxidation wire frames were also supplied by Navigator, they were accepted withoutmodification. | |
| Alternative interpretations on the mineral Resource would have an effect on the estimationhowever the current estimation is controlled by all available data in an attempt to quantifythe mineralisation with the highest level of confidence. | |
| Geology is used as a guide at Tonto, Mertondale 5, Mertondale 3/4, Quicksilver and Eclipsewith Merton's Reward lodes are structurally controlled within the sheared basalt. | |
| All deposits are held within the Mertondale shear zone which has an effect on both gradeand geology. | |
| Dimensions | The Merton's Reward resource drill area covers approximately 1,400m of strike the orezone can be divided into 3 broad zones, the drill hole search area (1,550m x 500m) included708 holes of which 147 holes were mineralised intersections amounting to 4,821.9m, andthe resource includes/covers the existing Merton's Reward underground workings where99,000t has been omitted from the estimate due to voids/stopes/underground mining etc. |
| Mertondale 3/4 resource drill area covers 1,620m of strike, the drill hole search area(1,850m x 600m) included 1,006 holes of which 332 holes were mineralised intersectionsamounting to 11,572.9m and the resource includes/covers the existing open pit mined byHunter (1986-1988). | |
| Quicksilver resource drill area includes 4 independent zones covering 200-500m of strikeseparated by 400-900m of strike, the drill hole search area (4,500m x 625m) included 461holes of which 69 holes were mineralised intersections amounting to 1,660.1m. | |
| Tonto resource drill area covers approximately 600m of continuous strike, the drill holesearch area (1,000m x 450m) included 274 holes of which 168 holes were mineralisedintersections amounting to 7,650.8m. | |

| Estimations andModellingTechniques | Tonnage and grade estimates were achieved by Recovered Fraction (RF) block modelling.This technique is a probabilistic one that estimates the volumetric proportion of each blocklikely to be above a particular cuttoff grade and what the average grade of that proportionis likely to be. |
| Conventional block models were also generated (anisotropic, inverse distance cubed) as acheck parameter. | |
| Search radii parameters (dip, strike, cross-dip) was assigned for the following depositsMerton's Reward (30x30x4m), Mertondale 3/4 (60x60x4m), Quicksilver (30x30x5m), Tonto(30x30x4m), Eclipse (30x30x5m), Mertondale 5 (70x35x4m). | |
| Parent block sizes were 4m X, 10m Y and 4m Z for all resources at Mertondale, minimumsub cells were 2m X, 5m Y, 1m Z in all resource block models except for Merton's Rewardwere 1m X, 2.5m Y, 1m Z was implemented. Block sizes are relative to drill density. | |
| Block models were generated filling the 3D wireframes of the mineralised zones with cells,SG was assigned using oxidation codes as per the data base, assay top cuts were applied,assays composited over 2m intervals, block models were estimated using a range of cut offsand anisotropic inverse distance cubed interpolation, under zonal control. | |
| Top cuts selected ranged from 1.5-80g/t Au, some low grade zones didn't require topcutting. These were typically in the order of 5-15g/t Au for the weaker, lower grade zonesand 20-40g/t Au for the major more strongly developed zones. | |
| Reported total historic production (1899-1991) from the Mertondale area amounts to274,000oz of gold. Production was sourced from three main areas Mertondale 3/4 pit -1.3Mt @ 4.3g/t Au, Mertondale 5 Pit - 385,000t @ 2.56g/t Au and Merton's Rewardunderground mine - 90,000t @ 21g/t Au. Previous estimates of the resources by Navigatorwere deemed appropriate and have been the audited and reviewed by Kin Mining. | |
| No by-products are to be recovered. | |
| Previous mining is mostly in the oxide/transition zone. In fresh rock apart fromdisseminated sulphides the ore zones can be associated with graphitic material (blackshale), however this has not been considered in the current resource estimate. | |
| A parent cell size of 4m (east), 10m (north) and 4m (vertical) was used on all deposits,deemed appropriate relative to drill data. | |
| Multiple compositing and interpolation passes were done, using a range of cutoff gradesand different ore loss and dilution parameters. One set of passes were made with no oreloss or dilution to generate hypothetical in situ estimates for comparison with previousNavigator estimates. A second set used in current resource estimation were made using adown-hole dilution skin set at 0.5m for oxide material and 0.8m for transitional and primarymaterial. Downhole ore loss was set at 0.2m in the oxide and 0.3m in the transitional andprimary zones. | |

| interoperation of geological boundaries were generated. Wireframes of lodes were used ashard boundaries to contain the interpolation. | |
| Varying top cuts were applied following a series of processes including log-probability plots,Iterative tests, log histograms and cross section inspection. | |
| To check that the interpolation of the block model honoured the drill data, validation wascarried out comparing the interpolated blocks to the sample composite data, the validationplots showed good correlation thus the raw drill data was honoured by the block model. | |
| Moisture | Tonnages and grades were estimated on a dry in situ basis. No moisture values werereviewed. |
| Cut-offParameters | Operating cost estimated supplied by Navigator indicate a break even mill feed grade fordeposits in the Mertondale area is likely to be in the vicinity of 0.7g/t Au. |
| MiningFactors orAssumptions | Previous mining is mostly in the oxide/transition zone. In fresh rock apart fromdisseminated sulphides the ore zones can be associated with graphitic material (blackshale). The metallurgical performance, which is an unknown factor, may be poorer in freshrock. The break even mining grade (0.7g/t Au) is an assumption based on Navigatorsestimate. |
| Historical gold production is over 270,000 ounces of gold; Mertondale 3/4 pit - 1.3Mt @4.3g/t Au; Mertondale 5 Pit - 385,000t @ 2.56g/t au; Merton's Reward - 90,000t @ 21g/tAu from underground production 1899-1911. | |
| The current resource estimation were made using a down-hole dilution skin set at 0.5m foroxide material and 0.8m for transitional and primary material. Downhole ore loss was set at0.2m in the oxide and 0.3m in the transitional and primary zones. | |
| MetallurgicalFactors orAssumptions | Mining of Mertondale 5 (1992) indicated that the presence of graphitic material, in thedeeper fresher portions of the open pit, resulted in lower metallurgical recoveries.Graphitic black shale may introduce pre-robbing from carbon during processing;arsenopyrite may be a metallurgical issue in transition and primary ore zones. Considerablehistorical mining suggests that the Mertondale ore (mostly oxide) can be treated withoutany serious extraction issues. Metallurgical test work conducted on the oxide ore zones atMertondale and the nearby deposits of Cardinia and Raeside indicate high (+95%)recoveries as well as a significant gravity gold factor (up 30%). |
| EnvironmentalFactorsor Assumptions | Three old pits and a set of underground workings are within the proposed pit parametersbeing Merton's Reward, Mertondale 3/4 Mertondale 2 and Mertondale 5 along withassociated mullock dumps. Old Battery tailings at Mertondale 2 and some drill sites withinthe pit parameters and surrounds require rehabilitation. The existing open pits have beenextensively mined and mullock dumps containing millions of tonnes have beenrehabilitated. |

|---|---|
| Bulk Density | Bulk density measurements are only available on 3 of the 6 areas modelled. No associatedmoisture content determinations are available, an arbitrary adjustment was applied basedon assumptions. The density measurements available for Merton's Reward, Mertondale 3/4and Mertondale 5 all appear to be higher than expected; adjustments were made tocompensate for moisture. The following Specific Gravity figures (Oxide, Transition, Fresh)were assigned to the following deposits; Merton's Reward (2, 2.2, 2.8 t/m3), Mertondale3/4 (2, 2.22, 2.51 t/m3), Quicksilver (2, 2.2, 2.5 t/m3), Tonto (2, 2.2, 2.5 t/m3), Eclipse (2, 2.2,2.5 t/m3), Mertondale 5 (2, 2.2, 2.51 t/m3). The values used in the estimates were assumedbased on analogy with Mertondale 5 mining results. |
| When compared with the (April 2009) Ammtec test results Tonto ore composites returned(Oxide 2.738 t/m3, Trans. 2.826 and 2.744 t/m3, Fresh 2.728 and 2.868 t/m3). These testresults indicate a conservative Specific Gravity (SG) value is assigned to the currentresource calculation at Tonto. Test work on Mertondale ore also returned higher SG valuesthan used in the estimate calculation. Therefore it is assumed that conservative SG valueshave been used on some estimations, with the intention to commence more detailed SGwork in the future. | |
| Classification | There is not enough available quality control data to indicate that that the old drill holedata is reliable or accurate, in addition there is a general lack of accurate SG information.The resources could only be classified as Indicated (drill spacing typically 20-30m alongstrike and 15-25m across strike) or Inferred (wider drill spacing and a general lack ofgeological confidence with the interpretation of the mineralised zone). |
| At Merton's Reward the Indicated Resource was classified with some reservations, only theadvent of previous mining allowed a border line Indicated classification, even though thedrill spacing was up to 50m in the central portion of the deposit.The Mineral Resource estimate appropriately reflects the view of the Competent Person. | |
| Audits andReviews | Internal reviews have been conducted by the Competent Person who is obliged to reviewthe data geology/assay/survey/wire frames etc. this procedure is conducted as part of thenormal review process. The technical inputs, methodologies, parameters and results of theestimation have been verified by the Competent Person. McDonald Speijers (January 2009)generated an Indicated and Inferred Resource (0.7g/t Au) cut-off grade - within $2,000 goldprice pit shells. Utilising a 3D block model "Recovered Fraction" technique:•Merton's Reward1,090,000t @ 2.64g/t Au(93,000ozs)•Mertondale 3/41,540,000t @ 2.21g/t Au(110,000ozs)•Quicksilver660,000t @ 1.82g/t Au(39,000ozs)•Tonto970,000t @ 1.91g/t Au(60,000ozs)•Eclipse870,000t @ 1.74g/t Au(49,000ozs)•Mertondale 5480,000t @ 3.03g/t Au(46,000ozs)•TOTAL(Undiluted)5,600,000t @ 2.20g/t Au(395,000ozs) |
| Discussionof RelativeAccuracy andConfidence | There is a lack of SG values for Quicksilver, Tonto and Eclipse however Ammtec (April 2009)results of oxide ore at Tonto indicate a SG of 2.738 t/m3. Previous consultants whooriginally calculated the resource assigned 2.0 t/m3 as the SG value.Due to the lack of QA/QC information the quality of pre Navigator drill hole assay is largelyunknown, the limited data that is available indicates no serious problem however thereliability of the historic assay data cannot be adequately demonstrated. The greatestimpact is uncertainty on the remaining mineralisation at Merton's Reward, Mertondale 3/4and Mertondale 5, however historic mining demonstrates that mineralisation can beeconomically mined. |

| The applied ore loss and dilution factors may require some adjustment, up or down,depending on the physical properties of the ore. | |
| There is a veneer of lateritic or hard pan material over most, if not all of the deposits, thisthin surface horizon was assigned the same SG as the oxide layer, it may be higher and maybe physically harder than the "free dig" oxide zone. | |
| The positions (RL) of the transition zone may require adjustment, the values were obtainedfrom Navigator, and the physical properties of mineralised zones at these interfaces maynot be "free dig" in addition the SG may be different to that used in the estimations. |

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling | Various sampling methods were used during multiple phases of Diamond, RC, Aircore and |
| techniques | RAB drilling, ranging from 5m composites to 1m split samples. Analysis of the sample |
| lengths revealed the most common sample length was 1m (99%). All samples within the | |
| resource wireframes were composited to 1m with the exception of Kyte. Only RC and | |
| Diamond drill holes were used to calculate mineral resource in the Bruno and Lewis grade | |
| control areas and the Bruno-Lewis exploration link area. Over 60% of the drilling in the | |
| Bruno-Lewis-Kyte Resource (BLK) is Navigator RC grade control drilling. | |
| Navigator RC samples were collected at 1m intervals on the drilling rig via a riffle splitter | |
| (nominally 3kg). Holes were sampled as 4m composites (scoop), assays >0.1g/t were | |
| collected from the original 1m intervals. Grade Control holes were also sampled at 1m | |
| intervals. Analysis utilised a FAF1 analysis method (Fire Assay) where a sub-sample of 40g isselected. Sampling techniques relating to historic Aircore holes is unknown however it is | |
| assumed they were conducted in line with the standard industry practices of the day. Details | |
| of historic Diamond drilling sample techniques is unknown however if the same techniques | |
| used at Cardinia were like those used at Mertondale, half core averaging 1m would have | |
| been the dominant procedure. | |
| Drilling | The Cardinia project area has been extensively drilled by several companies in past years |
| techniques | (mainly Mt Edon, Sons of Gwalia (SGW) and Navigator Resources however the vast majority |
| of exploration and resource drilling was conducted by Navigator Resources (NAV). Holes | |
| range from Diamond, RC, Aircore and RAB (Exploration and Grade Control) using local grids | |
| and more recently MGA94 Zone 51. An Access database containing drill details was created | |
| by NAV. This database contained records of 9,140 drill holes for 315,000m of that 2,947 | |
| holes were used in the resource estimate being 349 Aircore, 2 RAB, 380 RC, 151 Grade | |
| Control, 10 Diamond, 2,055 Grade Control RC. The data was interrogated and validated prior | |
| to being entered into Surpac. | |
| Drill samplerecovery | Drill sample recovery details are not mentioned in the resource estimate however |
| recoveries from the various types of drill methods are assumed to have been satisfactory.To obtain representative samples, grade control RC drilling was implemented over a large | |
| portion of the resource to ensure good sample recovery. | |
| Limited data is recorded about sample recovery in the geological logs, therefore difficulty | |
| remains to establish any relationship between grade and sample recovery. | |
| Logging | Navigator RC and Aircore logging were entered on a metre by metre basis recording |
| lithology, alteration, mineralisation, weathering, colour, structure and veining. The | |
| information was entered directly into hand held digital data loggers and transferred directly | |
| to the database. Holes were logged to a standard considered appropriate for geological and |

|---|---|
| resource modelling.Navigator's procedure for diamond core was initially orientation and marking of the bottomof the hole. Core recovery, fractures per metre and RQD was also recorded. The core wasgeologically logged in full recording lithologies as in RC drilling, photographed and markedfor sampling. Holes were logged to a level considered appropriate for geological andresource modelling.No details of pre-Navigator drill holes logging procedures were located, however loggingmethodologies appear consistent with normal industry practices of the time and geologicallogs from historic reports correlate with Navigators logging.Logging of geology, alteration, mineralisation, weathering, colour and structure areinterpretative and qualitative, whereas logging of mineral and veining percentage isquantitative.Core photos have been reviewed.All drill holes were logged in full. | |
| Subsamplingtechniquesand samplepreparation | Core was routinely analysed for this Mineral Resource estimate, however Diamond drillingresults comprises a very low proportion of the resource quantifications.All RC and Aircore samples were collected at the rig using a riffle splitter. Samples werepredominantly dry.Half core, RC and Aircore sampling are considered standard industry practice. |
| The majority of Navigator drill samples were dispatched to Kalgoorlie Assay Labs (KAL)however SGS and Aurum laboratories were also used for sample analysis. KAL utilised theirFAF1 analysis method (Fire Assay) where a sub-sample of 40g is taken. Flux and reducingagents are introduced to the assay sample charge and mixed mechanically prior to analysis.Aqua Regia digest methods utilised Flame AAS analysis to 0.01ppm detection limits. As acheck of pulverisation process Kalassay completed a wet screen sample test every 50thsample.The preparation procedure at Aurum included drying, splitting to 1kg, pulverising (90%passing 75µ) where a nominal 50g sample was subject to Aqua Regia digest (AuAR50).At SGS the analytical process involved drying, crushing and pulverising (90% passing 75µ)and Aqua Regia digest (ARE155), Grade Control holes were Fire Assayed (FAA505) using a50gm charge.Analysis of 916 field duplicates indicates a poor relationship between the original and thefield duplicate, the result is indicative of a high nugget mineralisation style; repeatability ispoor however no sample bias was noted.Sample sizes are considered appropriate to correctly represent the nuggetty goldmineralisation. The sample preparation followed industry's best practice of the day, thesample size is considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the style of mineralisationbeing tested. | |
| Quality ofassay dataandlaboratorytests | In general, with the exception of the Bruno Lewis Grade Control holes, assays wereconducted as 4m composite samples, using an Aqua Regia technique, as a first pass withfollow up 1m sampling completed using Fire Assay. Fire Assay is considered to be a totalanalytical technique, Aqua Regia is considered to be a partial analytical technique.The favoured Assay technique at SGS was Aqua Regia digest (ARE155) where a 50 gramcharge is digested in Aqua Regia acid followed by DIBK extraction with an AAS finish. GradeControl holes and 1m re-splits were analysed via Fire Assay (FAA505), where a 50 gramrepresentative sample was fire assayed with AAS finish, detection limit 0.01ppm Au.Aurum Laboratories used a fire assay technique (AuAR50) in which a 50 gram sample isdigested in Aqua Regia acid and the Au extracted with DIBK/Aliquot (detection limit 0.01ppm).KAL used a (FAF1) Fire Assay analysis using a 40 gram charge and Aqua Regia digest withflame AAS finish (detection limit 0.01ppm).NAV used standards and blanks that were routinely submitted with the drill samples.Internal QC included field duplicates, Grade Control drilling (first pass) included duplicates atthe 11-12m interval on every second hole. During the latest phase of Grade control drilling |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| duplicates were submitted every 31st and 81st sample. Additionally blanks or standards wereinserted on the 20th, 50th and 81st sample numbers equating to a ratio of 1:20 for QCsamples. | |
| A total of 1,079 standard samples representing 15 different standards and blanks wereanalysed during the Cardinia drilling. Standards for Aircore results indicate the reported | |
| grade to be within acceptable limits. Standards submitted with Grade Control drilling alsoreported within acceptable limits. | |
| Duplicate repeat pulp analysis from Helens/Rangoon (a deposit close by and drilled aroundthe same time) indicate an excellent relationship between the original and the repeat assayresult, indicating an acceptable measure of sample preparation reliability in the assaylaboratory. | |
| Drilling techniques at the time (+2004) utilised face sampling hammers (RC drilling). There isno information regarding the frequency of wet samples however the use of booster andauxiliary compressors would allow the majority of holes to be dry, additionally, the resource | |
| is shallow (20-60m), a depth that would allow for dry samples. | |
| Verification | The significant intersections have been internally verified by several company personnel |
| of samplingand | including geologists and have been analysed on screen using 3D software (Surpac) forcorrelation within the supergene gold mineralisation. Historical results have been accepted |
| assaying | at face value. Top cuts were applied to the datasets due to the high coefficient of variations |
| in the summary statistics. A high grade cut of 15g/t Au was applied to the data sets | |
| (inflections on the log probability plot). A top cut value of 30g/t Au was also applied to both | |
| the Bruno Grade Control (BGC) and Lewis Grade Control (LGC) areas. | |
| There is no use of twinned holes in the mineral resource, however a very closely spaced drill | |
| hole pattern was implemented in the Grade Control areas where an 8x5m grid pattern wasdrilled, with the intention to increase confidence due to the inherent grade variability of the | |
| BLK supergene mineralisation. Documentation of primary data was varied, dependent on | |
| age of drilling. Historic data was obtained by NAV from SGW upon acquisition of the project | |
| and limited detail is available on how the data was constructed. During the NAV period | |
| (which consists of the vast majority of the resource drilling) field data was entered directly | |
| into a field logging tablet and then was entered into the main database via a databaseadministrator using Datashed. Data verification is possible through Datashed during data | |
| importation. Data storage is on Kin premises and a backup is stored in a secure off-site | |
| facility. Hardcopies of historic reports are stored on Kin premises. | |
| Assay data has not been adjusted except results that were below detection limit given an 'x' | |
| in the database or if there was no sample taken, in this event a 'ns' was assigned. | |
| Location of | The collars of all NAV holes were surveyed after completion using an RTK-DGPS with a |
| data points | accuracy on a centimetre scale. 80% of the holes were surveyed using Spectrum Surveys |
| with the remainder conducted by NAV. No information regarding collar survey technique ofearlier drilling is available. Downhole surveys were conducted on 1,284 of the 9,140 holes in | |
| the database, at depths ranging from 3m to 180m. Although downhole surveys are | |
| somewhat limited, this is of low concern due to the shallow nature of the supergene | |
| resource. RC and GC (Grade Control) drilling was conducted on the MGA94 zone 51 grid. | |
| Historic AC and RAB were drilled on several local grids (Azimuth 220°-270°) on the national | |
| GDA grid. Bruno & Lewis are regularly drilled at 8m NS x 5m EW. Bruno Lewis link | |
| exploration was drilled on 32m sections with hole spacing as close as 10m but generally at | |
| 20m. Kyte was AC drilled on an oblique grid pattern at 40m x 20m spacing. | |
| Data | A topographic DTM was created using the DGPS pickup data of the drillholes.The drill hole spacing is deposit specific. Drill holes used in the resource estimate included |
| spacing and | 2,353 vertical RC grade control holes on a nominal 8m NS x 5m EW grid. 1,778 vertical |
| distribution | surface RC holes. 26 surface diamond holes and 1,710 angled Aircore holes for 315,088m of |
| drilling (entire dataset). | |
| The majority of other exploration holes were drilled on a 32m to 42m NS line spacing and | |
| 10m to 20m EW spacing. Grade Control holes were drilled on 5m x 8m grid, Aircore holes | |
| were mostly angled at -60° grid SW or grid west. |

| The mineralised zones have been extensively drilled and have demonstrated sufficientcontinuity to support the definition of "Mineral Resource" as per the classifications appliedunder the 2012 JORC Code. | |
| Analysis of the sample lengths revealed the most common sample length within thewireframes are 1m (99%) with Kyte consisting of some historic 2m composites. All sampleswithin the resource wireframes were composited to 1m. | |
| Orientationof data inrelation togeologicalstructure | Mineralisation at BLK comprises flat lying shallow dipping zones of gold mineralisationrelated to supergene Au enrichment. The blanket of supergene mineralisation cuts across allweathered lithologies and has been drill tested by NAV over a strike length of 2.6km. Thedeeply weathered nature of the deposits has resulted in variable zones of depletion rangingfrom 0-20m deep with subsequent supergene enrichment occurring beneath the depletionzones and extending in places up to 60m deep. Surface silicification is apparent in the top4m. RC holes are vertical and RAB and Aircore holes angled (mostly at -60°). No orientationbased sample bias has been identified in the sample data. |
| Samplesecurity | No sample security details are available for pre-Navigator samples. It is assumed the samplesecurity methodologies were the same as those adopted at Mertondale, a former Navigatorresource located further north. At Mertondale numbered and compiled Navigator drillsamples were collected from the field on a daily basis and transported to a secure yard inLeonora. They were then processed and packaged into 'bulkabag' sacks for transport to theassay laboratory. No particular security measures were imposed apart from sealing/tying upthe sacks and a secure yard. |
| Audits orreviews | A review of sampling techniques indicates that they were conducted to the normal industrystandards of the day, core samples based on geological boundaries or 1m intervals weremostly half core however some was quarter core. RC samples were usually riffle split at therig at metre intervals. A 3m (SGW) or 4m (Navigator) composite was collected from thereject and assayed, any anomalous interval (typically >0.1g/t Au) was retrieved at 1mintervals (from the original split when drilled) and Fire Assayed. Aircore sampling followed asimilar procedure to RC except the rejects from the riffle split were stored on the groundand not bagged. The number of wet samples is believed to be very low however theintervals involved can't be quantified. The data has been validated in Datashed and inSurpac prior to resource estimation. These processes checked for holes that are missingdata, missing intervals, overlapping intervals, data beyond end-of-hole, holes missing collarco-ordinates, and holes with duplicate collar co-ordinates. |

| Exploration | The deposits have been extensively drilled by a number of companies including Mt Edon, |
| done by other | SGW and in more recent times Navigator. A review of the collar file reveals the following |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| parties | companies Navigator, NR (Normandy Resources?), MET (?), SGW (Sons of Gwalia), CIM(Centenary International), AZT (Aztec), HLM (Harbour Lights) have all contributed to |
| various drill programmes, however the vast majority of exploration was conducted by | |
| Navigator. A test parcel of ore was mined by NAV from Bruno (100,000t) grade and | |
| recoveries exceeded expectations. Navigator commissioned Runge Limited to complete a | |
| Mineral Resource estimate for the Cardinia deposit in January 2009. | |
| Geology | The Cardinia Project geology comprises intermediate mafic and felsic volcanic lithologies |
| and locally derived epiclastic sediments. The regional lithological strike is 345° and | |
| contacts dip between 30°-40°W, foliations tends to dip moderately to the east. Felsic | |
| porphyries are recognised at Bruno/Lewis. At Lewis the intrusives are associated with | |
| mafic-felsic contacts and the mineralisation is interpreted to dip 40°-70°E with lenses | |
| varying in width from 1-7m true thickness. | |
| Gold mineralisation at Cardinia comprises flat lying, shallow dipping zones of supergene | |
| gold enrichment in weathered regolith. The mineralisation truncates all lithologieswithout any obvious effects. The central area is dominated by strongly weathered NWtrending basalts with intercalated beds of felsic rocks and minor shales. | |
| Gold distribution is highly variable resulting in very closely spaced drilling being required | |
| to confidently delineate the mineralised zones. Primary gold mineralisation is associated | |
| with increased shearing associated with lithological contacts between mafic and felsic | |
| rocks. Disseminated carbonate-sericite-quartz-pyrite alteration zones are adjacent to the | |
| gold mineralisation. | |
| At Bruno/Lewis and Kyte virtually all the known gold resources are associated with flat | |
| lying, shallow dipping zones of supergene Au enrichment interpreted to be related to | |
| supergene gold enrichment. Interpretation of cross sections reveals a series of | |
| mineralised structures evident as quartz-ironstone veining and quartz outcrop. | |
| Drill hole | The total drill hole data base, comprises 9,140 drill holes for a total of 315,088m that was |
| Information | used for the Mineral Resource estimate. Drilling included in the resource estimate |
| amounted to 2,947 drill holes (99,786m) of which 34,593m were intersection metres. Planand typical cross section views have been including in this report. | |
| Exploration results are not material to this report; the Mineral Resource Estimate is based | |
| on all available historic and modern Diamond, RC, Aircore and RAB drilling data. | |
| Data | Individual grades are reported as down hole length weighted averages, sample lengths in |
| aggregation | the mineralised zones in all deposits were overwhelmingly 1m. A review of sample lengths |
| methods | determined the optimal sample length to be 1m. More than (>99%) of samples within the |
| wireframes are 1m samples. Surpac software was used to extract 1m downhole | |
| composites. Composites were checked for spatial correlation within wireframe objects. | |
| The high coefficient of variations in the summary statistics (particularly the GC data) | |
| indicated the use of top cuts prior to using linear interpolation methods. | |
| A high grade cut of 15g/t Au was applied to the datasets, determined by inflections on the | |
| log probability plots. A top cut value of 30g/t Au was also applied to the grade controldomains. | |
| The wire frames were created using Surpac, digitising on screen of cross sectional data | |
| using a 0.1 g/t and 0.2 g/t Au cut off. To maintain coherent resource shapes substantial | |
| areas of internal waste have been included inside the wireframes (See figure below for a | |
| typical cross section at BLK). Metal equivalent values are not being reported. | |
| Relationship | The Bruno-Lewis mineralisation has been defined over a strike length of 2.6km (320°- |
| between | 340°). It is noted that adjacent drill holes, even the 5x8m Grade Control (GC) grid pattern |
| mineralisation | exhibit highly variable grades (down hole) for the vast majority of the drilling (typical of |
| widths and | supergene mineralisation). To maintain coherent resource shapes substantial areas of |
| intercept | internal waste have been included inside the wireframes. |
| lengths | The majority of holes are drilled vertical, grid drill spacing is varied depending on the |
| resource and drill holes are believed to be true width due to the flat lying nature of the | |
| supergene mineralisation. Drilling at Kyte may not be at an optimum angle or true width | |
| to the mineralisation as most of the holes in this deposit are inclined (-60°). |

| BalancedReporting | The available database includes a large inherited data set compiled by previous ownersdating back to 1982. There are limitations in the amount of information provided in thedata set. It has not been possible to fully verify the reliability and accuracy of a substantialproportion of the data however it appears that no serious problems have occurred andvalidation check results were within acceptable limits. In general recent data is morereliable. All NAV collars were surveyed after completion using an RTK GPS instrument.Considering the complex history of grid transformations there must be some residual riskin converting old grids to GDA 94 although generally the survey control appears to besatisfactory. Navigator also supplied data pertaining to the Specific Gravity (SG), pit shellsand drill hole date and although not independently verified they have been accepted onface value.There is always an area of technical risk associated with resource tonnage and gradeestimations.Exploration results are not being reported. |

| Further work | Follow-up resource definition drilling is very likely to occur; the mineralisation in theCardinia area remains open in various directions, and at depth. There is the possibility ofmining a bulk sample/test pit to determine the relationship/reconciliation of the model tothe mine head grade and tonnage.Further SG work is recommended to increase confidence in SG values used for futureresource estimates.Exploration results are not being reported. |

| Database | The data has been validated in Datashed and in Surpac prior to resource estimation. |
| Integrity | These processes checked for holes that are missing data, missing intervals, overlapping |
| intervals, data beyond end-of-hole, holes missing collar co-ordinates, and holes with | |
| duplicate collar co-ordinates. Navigator uploaded the original assay files received from | |
| the labs via a database administrator using Datashed to minimise loading errors. An | |

| Geological | The BLK is a highly variable 2.6km long zone of supergene Au mineralisation. Gold grades |
| Interpretation | are highly variable (even at 5x8m drill spacing), not only down hole but also between |
| holes. The resource has been drilled to maximum depth of 110m and the resource is | |
| modelled to 68m. | |

| adjacent to the gold mineralisation. Deeply weathered regolith. Flat lying, shallow dipping | |
| (30°-40°) with NNW or NS strike (320°-340° at Bruno/Lewis), Vertical thickness of | |
| mineralisation averages (5-10m) however it can range between (20-60m) often below a | |
| depletion zone (0-20m). The grade is highly variable but continuity is regarded as good. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Even though the drilling is closely spaced in some zones (BGC and LGC) the resource isclassified as Indicated and Inferred due to the highly varied grade and the lack of bulkdensity test work. The mineralisation is hosted by a highly weathered clay zone which isdifficult to discriminate geologically and the geological interpretation of the weatheredclays are of low order of confidence, however mineralisation is believed to bepredominately unconstrained in relation to lithology at this stage due to the supergenenature of the gold resource.The grade and confidence of the geology are highly affected by the location of the | |
| mineralisation high in the regolith profile. This environment is conducive forremobilisation of grade and strong weathering of hard rock geology to clays.Trial Mining 2010 (NAV) at Bruno and Mert's Reward extracted 114,000t of ore, 74,200tof this parcel was treated at St Barbara's (Gwalia plant) and 39,800t at NAV's Bronzewingplant for a recovered 7,223ozs of gold. Bruno ore was free dig, open pit mining ofsupergene mineralisation. Mining costs/BCM were below budget, the head grade of2.33g/t Au was 40% higher than the mine planned grade and recovery was >95%. Themining trial was very successful and much better than predicted | |
| Dimensions | The drilled strike length of Bruno/Lewis is 2.6km, drilling extends to depths of 110m.There is a deeply weathered, supergene mineralisation zone beneath surface depletionzones (0-20m) which can extend to 60m in places. The EW drilling extent is up to 400mwide, the vertical thickness of the ore zone can vary (by up to 30m) but averages 5-10min width. The depth of mineralisation is up to 90m however the resource is modelled to amaximum depth of 68m.•Kyte (K) - 650m of strike•Lewis South (LS) - 800m of strike•Lewis Grade Control (LGC)- 255m of strike•Bruno Grade Control (BGC) - 400m of strike•Bruno/Lewis Exploration (BLE) - 1600m of strike |

Wireframes constructed inSurpac (0.1g/t Au and 0.2g/t Au cut-off). There is poor continuity between drill holes andnumerous zones of internal dilution are included to maintain the continuity of theresource wireframes. Individual holes exhibit a high degree of variable grade anddownhole variable grade, substantial areas of internal waste are included in thewireframes. Maximum distance of extrapolation from data points is deposit dependant inrelation to drill spacing. The largest being 20m at Kyte, BLE and LS (16m) and both theLGC and BGC (4m).A high grade cut of 15g/t Au was applied to the datasets, determined by inflections onthe log probability plots. A top cut value of 30g/t Au was also applied to the grade controldomains.Bruno/Lewis Grade Control was wire framed using RC and Diamond drill holes on tightdrill spacing. Older Aircore holes were omitted.Bruno/Lewis Exploration is well drilled with a regular drill pattern. Recent RC results werepreferred and older AC holes were excluded from the wire frame and the resourceestimate.Deeper zone of mineralisation below Lewis GC wireframe have been defined by historicRC, AC and GCAC holes – 220 holes (Aircore) were removed from the estimation.Estimation techniques and interpretation constructed by Runge in 2009 that were usedby NAV for the Cardinia resource, are predominately used in the current resourceestimation, due to the successful outcome from the trial mining at Bruno.To test the sensitivity of the resource to drill spacing sub set test models interpolated theblock model. Results show a tonnage and grade variation of 15% at LGC and 25% for BGC.The difference in the sub set estimates reflects the highly variable grade distributionbetween adjacent drill holes. The grade discrepancy at Bruno was confirmed by the trialmining. |

| No by-products are to be recovered.No estimation of deleterious elements was carried out. Only Au was interpolated in theblock model. | |
| Block models created for the full extent of Bruno/Lewis trend, Separate block models forBGC and LGC which were then imported into the larger block model.Block model size depended on the drill density of the deposit. Bruno Lewis and LewisSouth (16m NS x 10m EW x 5m vert) – sub cells 4m x 2.5m x 2.5m. Grade Control blocks(4m NS x 2.5m EW x 2.5m vert). Kyte (20m NS x 10m EW x 2.5m vert) – sub cells 10m x | |
| 5m x 1.25m.The parent block size was selected on 50% of the average drill hole spacing for eachdomain, "ellipsoid" searches populated the resource blocks. | |
| No assumptions are made regarding modelling of selective mining units.No assumptions are made regarding correlation between variables. | |
| The supergene mineralisation is in the weathered oxide zone with a weak correlationwithin a north-west striking mafic/felsic contact. This has been incorporated into themajor search direction of the block models that relate to this weathered contact.A high grade cut of 15g/t Au was applied to the datasets, determined by inflections onthe log probability plots. A top cut value of 30g/t Au was also applied to the grade control | |
| domains; this was done to assist in reducing the known nugget affect throughout theresource. | |
| To check that the interpolation of the block model honoured the drill data, validation wascarried out comparing the interpolated blocks to the sample composite data, thevalidation plots showed good correlation thus the raw drill data was honoured by theblock model. Hardcopy sections of the resource with the block model plotted on sectionhave also been carried out to maintain that the block model honours original drill data. | |
| Moisture | Grade and tonnages are estimated on a dry in-situ basis, moisture values have not beenconsidered. |
| Cut-offParameters | A nominal 0.7g/t Au cut-off grade was used in the mineral resource on the basis that thishas an economic validity throughout similar gold deposits in an open pit environment. |
| Mining Factorsor Assumptions | Historic mining in the area is restricted to small prospector pits and shallow undergroundworkings. NAV undertook the trail mining of Mertondale 2 and Bruno in 2010 (114,000t@ 2.05g/t Au) a year after the Runge resource estimation was published. Recovery andhead grade were above expectations.Mining at Bruno returned 100,000t @ 2.33g/t Au, The additional 14,000t came fromMertondale 2, Gwalia plant recovery 97.9% (3,990ozs), Bronzewing plant recovery 94.2%(2,773ozs). Free dig at Bruno trial pit, lower than forecast mining costs, clayey weatheredregolith – easy digging, supergene mineralisation, head grade was 40% higher thanexpected (almost 1g/t Au), good gold recovery, mine cut-off grade 0.85g/t Au, AmmtecSG test work was completed post mining.The successful mining by NAV at Bruno suggests that the mineral resource at BLK has areasonable prospect for eventual economic extraction by medium scale open pit miningmethods, taking into account current mining costs and metal prices and allowing forpotential economic variations. |
| MetallurgicalFactors orAssumptions | From the NAV trial mining report Mike Kitney (metallurgist) supervised trial mining toensure that set out procedures were followed, his findings indicate cyanide test workrecoveries of Cardinia ore were 97% after 48Hrs with 90% after 24Hrs (-600µ) 4.4 g/t Augrade. The material was soft and clayey with good recovery from the coarse and the finefraction prior to grinding. Copper and organic carbon content in metallurgical testedsamples is low and limited. |
| EnvironmentalFactors or | Mining at Bruno (100,000t) from trial pit, generated a mullock/waste dump next to opencut to industry standards. It is assumed that practices concerning waste rock and process |

| Limited historic bulk density determinations indicate the values used in the resourceestimation may be slightly underestimated. There remains the risk that the resourcetonnage is not well defined due to the assumed bulk density values Specific Gravity (SG).SG figures of 1.8 t/m3 – Oxide, 2.2 t/m3 – Transition, 2.6 t/m3 Fresh – values were used inthe resource estimate and are considered to be conservative. The SG used in theestimation is up to 15-20% lower than the test work results (Ammtec & Amdel), howeverthis data is on only limited samples. Further SG work is recommended to increaseconfidence in SG values used for future resource estimates. | |
| Classification | The resource has been classified as Indicated and Inferred. The classification category isbased on drill density and associated sample support and the highly variable gradedistribution both down hole and between holes. Lack of QA/QC in early exploration, AquaRegia vs Fire Assay results and composite sampling. |
| BGC & LGC – close spaced 5m x 8m drill pattern, grade variability but good continuity, RC& DD only (AC removed) – Indicated. | |
| BLE – 20m x 32m drill pattern RC holes, good mineralisation continuity – Indicated.Remainder of BLE – variable drill hole types (RC & AC), wider drill spacing and highly | |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Criteria | Commentary | ||||
| Samplingtechniques | The resource drilling included Aircore, RC and diamond drilling (HQ3) for 16,354m of which4,682m were intersection metres. Aircore holes were composite samples at 4m intervals(assayed for Au via Aqua Regia). Assays intervals >0.1g/t Au were samples as individual metres(then Fire Assayed). Diamond holes were samples along lithological intervals however singlemeter samples were the preferred sample interval once inside the geological unit. | ||||
| Nothing is stated regarding RC sampling techniques however it's assumed it was a similarmethodology to Aircore (composites then meter intervals - grade dependent). Mt Edon drilledthe majority of RC holes; their usual assay technique was initially 2m composite sampling, AquaRegia digest, followed by fire assaying any anomalous intervals (>0.5g/t Au) as one metreintervals. These samples were originally collected through a cyclone, when drilled, and storedon site until submitted to Leonora Laverton Assay Laboratories. | |||||
| Drillingtechniques | The resource drilling included Aircore, RC and diamond drilling (HQ3) for 16,354m of which4,682m were intersection metres within the wire frames (40,164m of drilling are in thedatabase). 45 Aircore, 337 RC holes and 11 diamond holes were used in the resource estimate.This drilling is a mixture of historical and recent Navigator Resources Ltd (NAV) holes. Sinceobtaining the project Navigator completed 170 Aircore holes and 9 diamond holes for 5,187m. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Drill sample | Drill sample recovery details are not mentioned in the database, however recoveries from thevarious types of drill methods are assumed to have been satisfactory. |
| recovery | Aircore holes drilled by NAV were samples as 4m composite (scoop) and submitted for analysisvia Aqua Regia digest, anomalous (>0.1g/t) sample intervals were sampled again as individual1m intervals, split at the rig at the time of drilling, and resubmitted for analysis via fire assay.Although not mentioned it's assumed that RC samples were dealt with in a similar fashion, aswas the case on other Cardinia deposits that were drilled around the same time. |
| Diamond holes were sampled on lithological boundaries, varied sample lengths, but singlemetre composites were the preferred sample length. | |
| Limited data is recorded about sample recovery in the geological logs, therefore difficultyremains to establish any relationship between grade and sample recovery. | |
| Logging | Navigator RC and Aircore logging were entered on a metre by metre basis recording lithology,alteration, mineralisation, weathering, colour, structure and veining. The information wasentered directly into hand held digital data loggers and transferred directly to the database.Holes were logged to a standard considered appropriate for geological and resource modelling. |
| Navigator's procedure for diamond core was initially orientation and marking of the bottom ofthe hole. Core recovery and fractures per metre was also recorded. The core was geologicallylogged in full recording lithologies as in RC drilling, photographed and marked for sampling.Holes were logged to a level considered appropriate for geological and resource modelling. | |
| Loggingofgeology,alteration,mineralisation,weathering,colourandstructureareinterpretative and qualitative, whereas logging of mineral and veining percentage isquantitative. | |
| All drill holes were logged in full. | |
| Subsamplingtechniques | Half diamond core was routinely analysed for this Mineral Resource estimate, howeverDiamond drilling results comprises a very low proportion of the resource quantifications (11diamond holes). |
| and samplepreparation | All RC and Aircore samples were collected at the rig using a riffle splitter. Samples werepredominantly dry. |
| Half core, RC and Aircore sampling methods are considered standard industry practice. | |
| The majority of Navigator drill samples were dispatched to Kalgoorlie Assay Labs (KAL) howeverSGS and Aurum laboratories were also used for sample analysis. At KAL samples are initiallyoven dried (to 110°C) then crushed to 2mm then pulverised (LM5 ringmill) with 90% passing -75µ then assayed via Aqua Regia or Fire Assay. The preparation procedure at Aurum includeddrying, splitting to 1kg, pulverising (90% passing -75µ) where a nominal 50g sample was subjectto Aqua Regia digest (AuAR50). At SGS the analytical process involved drying, crushing andpulverising (90% passing 75µ) and was digested via Aqua Regia (ARE155) or was Fire Assayed(FAA505) using a 50gm charge. | |
| The sample preparation followed industry's best practice of the day, the sample size isconsidered to be appropriate to correctly represent the style of mineralisation being tested. | |
| Quality ofassaydata andlaboratorytests | In general, assays were initially conducted as 4m composite samples, using an Aqua Regiatechnique, as a first pass, with follow up 1m sampling completed using Fire Assay. Fire Assay isconsidered to be a total analytical technique, Aqua Regia is considered to be a partial analyticaltechnique. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Verificationof sampling | Duplicate repeat pulp analysis from Helens/Rangoon indicate an excellent relationship betweenthe original and the repeat assay result, indicating an acceptable measure of samplepreparation reliability in the assay laboratory. |
| andassaying | Drilling techniques at the time (+2004) utilised face sampling hammers (RC drilling). There is noinformation regarding the frequency of wet samples however the use of booster and auxiliarycompressors would allow the majority of holes to be dry. |
| NAV maintained approximately 1 QC sample per 20 drill samples submitted to the lab. Thesesamples included the submission of standards and blanks. No field duplicates have been taken. | |
| Previous QAQC analysis by Runge considers the overall QA/QC results for Helens and Rangoonresource are acceptable and confirm the validity of the assay data for use in the resourceestimate. | |
| Location ofdata points | The collars of all NAV drilling were surveyed following completion of the hole using a RTK GPSinstrument (MGA94), no information regarding the collar survey technique of earlier drilling isavailable. All holes in the database contain design dip and azimuth data. Drilling was carried outon a local grid pattern which is oblique (25°) to the national GDA grid. Downhole surveys ondiamond holes (single shot camera) were conducted roughly at the start, middle and end ofhole. |
| A topographic DTM was created using the DGPS pickup data of the drillholes. | |
| Dataspacinganddistribution | The majority of the resource has been drilled to 10m hole spacing on 25m EW sections, whilesome portions of the resource are tested at 50m spacing. Drill holes are orientated towardsboth grid east and grid west. The main mineralised zones have demonstrated sufficientcontinuity in both grade and geological continuity to support the definition of mineral resourceand the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC Code. |
| Analysis of the sample lengths revealed the most common sample length within the wireframesare 1m and 2m. All samples within the resource wireframes were composited to 2m. | |
| Orientationofdata inrelationtogeologicalstructure | Primary gold mineralisation at the Helen's Rangoon project areas, located in the northeast ofthe Cardinia area, is sub-vertical in nature and associated with narrow (1-5m) steeply dippingzones of shearing and quartz development. Mineralisation trends are either north-northwest ornorth-south. At the various Helen's deposits the mineralised shear zones are generally in themafics but close to a felsic volcanics/sediment contact. At Helens North Lode, excellent visualcorrelation has been observed in DDH1 (7m @ 6.4g/t Au) between gold grades and bleaching ofthe oxidised basalt host rock. Only minor supergene mineralisation is present. |
| Drilling was carried out on a local grid pattern which is oblique (25°) to the national GDA grid.Drill holes are orientated towards both grid east and grid west. Holes are drilled orthogonal tothe interpreted strike of the target horizon (-60°). Lithological layering within the tenementsstrike NW to NNW and dips gently to steeply to the SW. No orientation based sample bias hasbeen identified in the sample data. | |
| Samplesecurity | No sample security details are available for pre-Navigator samples. It is assumed the samplesecurity methodologies were the same as those adopted at Mertondale, a former Navigatorresource located approximately 10km further north. At Mertondale numbered and compiledNavigator drill samples were collected from the field on a daily basis and transported to asecure yard in Leonora. They were then processed and packaged into 'bulkabag' sacks fortransport to the assay laboratory. No particular security measures were imposed apart fromsealing/tying up the sacks and a secure yard. |

|---|---|
| Audits orreviews | A review of sampling and drilling techniques by Kin and others indicates that they wereconducted to the best practice industry standards of the day, historic drilling and samplingmethods and QA/QC are regarded as acceptable. Core samples based on geological boundariesor 1m intervals were mostly half core. RC samples were usually riffle split at the rig at metreintervals, a 4m (Navigator) composite was collected from the reject and assayed, anyanomalous interval (typically >0.1g/t Au) was retrieved at the split 1m intervals and FireAssayed. Aircore sampling followed a similar procedure to RC except the rejects from the rifflesplit were stored on the ground and not bagged. The number of wet samples is believed to bevery low however the intervals involved can't be quantified. |

| Mineraltenement andland tenurestatus | The deposits are all located on granted Mining Leases within the Mertondale project area,specifically Cardinia. All tenements are in the name of and 100% owned by Navigator MiningPty Ltd, Kin Mining NL has entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Navigator and hasacquired all the issued capital and assets of Navigator Mining. The agreement includes theentire Mertondale Project tenement package. The following deposits are located on thefollowing tenements: Rangoon is located on M37/316 and Helen's South, Helen's North andHelen's East are all within M37/317. |
| The leases are located in the Mt Margaret Mineral Field, Navigator Mining Pty Ltd is a whollyowned subsidiary of Kin Mining NL. Waterton Global LP holds a debt security over the assetsof Navigator Mining Pty Ltd. The tenements are in good standing with no knownimpediments. | |
| Explorationdone byother parties | Navigator completed the first resource estimation in October 2006 for the Helens andRangoon deposits. The resource was interpolated using inverse distance to the power of 1(ID1) with resource outlines generated using 1.0g/t Au boundary. High grade cuts 15g/tRangoon, 14g/t Helens North and 10g/t Helens South were applied, the resource wasreported above 0.5g/t Au cut-off. Results were similar to the original Runge estimate RungeMineral Estimate January 2009 (page 5). |
| The deposits have been explored and drilled by Mt Edon Gold Mine (CR and CRC series)commencing in 1986 then Sons of Gwalia and finally Navigator (NRAC, NHAC and NCDDseries) commencing in 2004. The Mt Edon RAB holes are omitted from the resourceestimate. | |
| A total of 2,676 tonnes of ore was mined from the area known as Rangoon – Zone 1 yielding464oz of gold at 5.4g/t Au. Mining the underground workings took place in 1939-1941 andagain in 1961. | |
| Geology | The Cardinia tenements overlie a sequence of intermediate mafic and felsic volcaniclithologies and locally derived epiclastic sediments. These lithologies are positioned on thewestern limb of the regionally faulted south plunging Benalla Anticline. Lithological layeringwithin the tenements strikes NW to NNW and dips are orientated gently to steeply to theSW. The central portion of the tenements are dominated by a NNW-SSE trending lenticularunit of basalt with thin (<50m thick) intercalated beds of felsic volcanogenic sedimentaryrocks and shales. The thick units of felsic volcanics comprising lava, fragmental deposits andfine to coarse grained volcanogenic sedimentary rocks flank the basalt unit |
| Mineralisation is sub-vertical in nature associated with narrow (1-5m) steeply dipping zonesof shearing and quartz development that transectlithological layering. Only minorsupergene/laterite mineralisation is present. |

| Drill holeInformation | In all 393 drill holes have been sourced and included in the Mineral Resource estimation,comprising 45 Aircore holes, 337 RC holes and 11 diamond holes for an advance of 16,354metres of which 4,682 are intersection metres. |
| Exploration results are not material to this report. The Mineral Resource Estimate is basedon all available historic and modern Diamond, RC and Aircore drilling data. | |
| DataAggregation | Individual grades are reported as downhole length weighted averages, sample lengths in themineralised zones are 2m. |
| methods | Resource outlines were generated based on a 0.25g/t Au mineralised envelopes. Someinternal dilution was included to maintain wireframe continuity based on geologicalcontacts. The wire framed objects were validated using Surpac software and set as solids.Metal equivalent values are not being reported. |
| RelationshipBetweenMineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths | Drill holes are orientated grid east or grid west (-60°), grid drill spacing varies, drilling wascarried out on a local grid pattern which is oblique (25°) to the national GDA grid. Holes aredrilled orthogonal to the interpreted strike of the target horizon. Lithological layering withinthe tenements strike NW to NNW and dips gently to steeply to the SW mineralisation is subvertical. |
| Mafic and felsic hosted mineralisation extends over 3,000m strike x 115m deep. Goldmineralisation is associated with narrow (1-5m) steeply dipping zones of shearing and quartzdevelopment. The majority of resource is tested at 10m hole spacing on 25m EW sectionsalthough some portions are tested at 50m spacing's. | |
| Diagrams | Relevant diagrams are included in the report. |
| BalancedReporting | The available database includes a large inherited data set compiled by previous ownersdating back to the mid 1980's. There are limitations in the amount of information providedin the data set. It has not been possible to fully verify the reliability and accuracy of asubstantial proportion of the early data however it appears that no serious problems haveoccurred and validation check results were within acceptable limits. In general recent data ismore reliable. All NAV collars were surveyed after completion using an RTK GPS instrument. |
| OtherSubstantiveexplorationdata | Exploration results are not being reported. |
| Further work | Follow-up resource definition drilling is very likely to occur; the mineralisation in theCardinia area remains open in various directions and drilling conducted by NAV in 2012 hasnot yet been included in the resource estimate. There is the possibility of mining a bulksample/test pit to determine the relationship/reconciliation of the model to the mine headgrade and tonnage. |
| Further Specific Gravity (SG) work is recommended to increase confidence in SG values usedfor future resource estimates. | |

| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| DatabaseIntegrity | The deposits have been historically drilled by several companies, utilising different drillingand assaying techniques. Companies include Mt Edon, Sons of Gwalia and Navigator. |
| The database is inherited from NAV (historic and recent). Historic geological logs have notbeen converted to the NAV system/logging codes however they are acceptable. | |
| Runge Limited conducted the original Mineral Resource estimate (January 2009) theyreviewed historic assay/geological logs/survey data against the originals and appraised theold annual reports. | |
| Grid transformation from early drilling is regarded as acceptable, all NAV drill holes aresurveyed and DGPS controlled. | |
| The data has been validated in Datashed and in Surpac prior to resource estimation. Theseprocesses checked for holes that are missing data, missing intervals, overlapping intervals,data beyond end-of-hole, holes missing collar co-ordinates, and holes with duplicate collarco-ordinates. Navigator uploaded the original assay files received from the labs via adatabase administrator using Datashed to minimise loading errors. An export of the datawas then used to create an access database for use in Surpac. | |
| Kin geologists have verified historic drilling/assays/geological logs/survey against thedatabase including viewing old reports. | |
| Site Visit | Paul Payne (Runge - Competent Person) visited the site 5/2/2009 and confirmed drilling,site layout, local geology, extent of old workings and signed off on the original resourcecalculation. Simon Buswell-Smith (Competent Person) has also visited the site on manyoccasions and was involved in some of the original NAV drilling/logging etc. |
| GeologicalInterpretation | The deposits mineralisation style is consisting of quartz veining (1-5m wide) and shearzones in basaltic host rock. Excellent correlation between grade and bleached basalt isevident in DDH1 - 7m @ 6.4g/t Au. Gold mineralisation is quartz vein hosted and regardedas regular. Mineralisation trends NNW and NS. |
| Geological data in logs records quartz veining, sulphide content and gold associated withquartz and sulphides. Weathering codes is varied in logging data because differentcompanies used differing logging styles. | |
| Drill spacing is regarded as good and company geologists have confidence in the model,NAV and Runge agreed on resource estimates, 1,417 holes were drilled by either Mt Edonand Navigator, these included Aircore, RAB, RC and diamond drilling at 25m or 50m spaceddrill sections including several costeans,. | |
| Helensgeologyincludes–shearedmaficswithquartzveiningclosetofelsicvolcanic/sediment contact. Rangoon geology includes – Sheared felsic volcanic/sedimentshost quartz close to the mafic contact. | |
| A high degree of confidence is placed on the geological model, any alternative modelinterpretations are unlikely to have a significant impact on the resource classification. | |
| The use of geology is of high importance in guiding and controlling the resourceinterpretation due to gold associated with qtz veining along lithological contacts. | |
| Both deposits are related to qtz veining therefore this is a major factor affecting gradecontinuity. |

| Dimensions | Helens South, Helens North and Rangoon extend from (local grid) 9,450mN to 12,450mNwith a vertical extent of 115m. Resource estimate is based on data from 393 drill holes(Aircore, RC and Diamond core). |
| Estimations andModellingTechniques | Runge (2009) estimated the original resource via standard Surpac block modelling usingOrdinary Kriging interpolation constrained by mineralised envelopes utilising a nominal0.25g/t cut off and applied block dimensions 12.5mNS x 5mEW x 5m vert. with sub cells of6.25mx2.5mx1.25m, a high grade cut of 15g/t was applied. |
| Bulk density (SG) was estimated based on information from similar projects, values of1.9t/m3, 2.3t/m3 and 2.7t/m3 were assigned to the oxide, transitional and fresh portions ofthe resource, wire frames were constructed using cross section interpretation based onmineralised envelopes (0.25g/t cut off). Samples within the wireframe were composited to2m intervals. | |
| Ellipsoid orientated search included 3 passes, >90% of model was filled in the initial twopasses. | |
| Some of the earlier drill holes (of lower sample quality) were omitted from the data baseincluding all 667 RAB holes (10,406m) and 5 early RC holes which conflicted with adjacentdrill holes, costeans (originally dug by Mt Edon) were also omitted. | |
| The Helens and Rangoon deposits display reasonable geological continuity (geology andmineralisation). The resource is defined within an Inferred Resource classification. | |
| Numerous resource shapes that were only tested via a single drill hole were omitted fromthe model. | |
| No by-products are to be recovered.No estimation of deleterious elements and no by-products were included – only Au, therewere no selective mining units applied. | |
| The parent block size was selected on 50% of the average drill hole spacing for eachdomain, "ellipsoid" searches populated the resource blocks.No assumptions are made regarding correlation between variables.Wireframes were constructed of the mineralised envelopes utilising a nominal 0.25g/t cut | |
| off.QQ plots indicate no particular bias between resource domains. All composites, a 2mcomposite was selected as appropriate for the deposit, were appended to a single file andassessed for a suitable high grade cut-off of 15g/t was applied affecting only 9 compositesamples. | |
| To check that the interpolation of the block model honoured the drill data, validation wascarried out comparing the interpolated blocks to the sample composite data, the validationplots showed good correlation thus the raw drill data was honoured by the block model.Hardcopy sections of the resource with the block model plotted on section have also beencarried out to maintain that the block model honours original drill data | |
| Moisture | Grade and tonnages are estimated on a dry insitu basis, moisture values have not beenconsidered. |
| Cut-offParameters | A nominal 0.7g/t Au cut-off grade was used in the mineral resource on the basis that thishas an economic validity throughout similar gold deposits in an open pit environment. |

|---|---|
| MiningFactors orAssumptions | Historic mining in the area is restricted to small prospector pits and shallow undergroundworkings. The Rangoon area was previously mined underground (1939-41) yielding 464ozfrom 2,676t @ 5.4g/t Au. |
| Helen's and Rangoon resources comprise well defined zones of Au mineralisation –associated with shearing/quartz veining. The mineralised zones are robust, 3km strikeextension to a vertical depth of 115m. | |
| A significant portion of the deposit has reasonable prospects for open cut extraction –mining costs and metal prices require further consideration. | |
| The resource is undiluted and a dilution factor should be incorporated in any evaluation ofthe deposit. | |
| MetallurgicalFactors orAssumptions | Specific gravity and cyanide leach testing of various ore types is recommended. Goldrecoveries should be determined. Historic metallurgical testwork (1988) on 7 coarselycrushed (-50 to -6mm) RC samples returned recoveries between 8 and 96%, whenpulverised recoveries increased to >93%. Static leach test work (1992) on two diamond coresamples returned gold recoveries of 83% and 75%. |
| EnvironmentalFactorsor Assumptions | No assumptions have been made regarding environmental factors. |
| Bulk Density | Bulk density values were nominal and relative to nearby deposits (oxide 1.8t/m3, transition2.3t/m3 and fresh 2.7t/m3). Note: the average SG for Basalt is 2.8-3.0t/m3 when fresh. SGtest work conducted by Ammtec (April 2009) was conducted not for Helen's and Rangoonbut for the nearby Bruno and Tonto deposits, oxide/ transition/ fresh SG's averaged2.8t/m3, thus scope exists to increase the overall tonnage due to the lower estimation ofthe Bulk Density's – perhaps by as much as 10%. A comprehensive programme of bulkdensity test work is recommended. The position (RL) of the oxide transition contact isquestionable due to logging inconsistencies, future drill campaigns should attempt todelineate the oxide transition fresh zones. |
| Classification | The resource has been classified as Indicated and Inferred. The classification category isbased on drill density and associated sample support.The mineralised zones (indicated and inferred) are described as robust; however goldmineralisation is narrow, well defined and extends over 3km of strike, the mineralisation isnot economically continuous over the entire strike and can be divided into 3 distinct areas;Helens North, Helens South and Rangoon. The majority of the resource has been drilled at10m hole spacing's on 25m E-W sections and some parts of the resource are drilled on 50msections. 393 drill holes (45 Aircore, 337 RC, and 11 Diamond) for an advance of 16,354m ofwhich 4,662m are resource intersection metres. |
| Mineralisation shows reasonable continuity within the mineralised domain allowing themajority of drill hole intersections to be modelled into coherent geologically robust wireframes. Classifications are Indicated where hole spacing is 25m x 10m and Inferred wherehole section spacing is >25m | |
| Historic documents (including Annual Reports, A reports) provide detailed information ondrilling and mining at the various prospects. A large proportion of digital input data hasbeen transcribed from historical written logs and validation checks have confirmed theaccuracy of this transcription. The input data is comprehensive in its coverage of themineralisation and does not favour or misrepresent in-situ mineralisation. The continuity ofgeology is well understood as existing pits and historical mining and exploration reportsprovide substantial information on mineralisation controls and lode geometry. The lack ofhistorical QA/QC data is offset by the quantity and the continuity of the sample data in the |

Appendix D Raeside
SECTION 1 – Sample Techniques and Data
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Samplingtechniques | The majority of diamond core was longitudinally cut half core. Sample intervals varied,lithological boundary dependent, but were predominantly 1m intervals. The vast majorityof RC samples, collected by Triton, were collected via a cyclone or riffle split and bagged at1m intervals (typically 2-3kg.) Composite spear samples were often collected at a nominal3m interval with follow up collection of the riffle split 1m samples over anomalousintervals. On occasion wet samples were encountered and in the case of Triton ResourcesLtd spear sampled, data relating to earlier wet samples is unavailable however the numberof wet samples involved is believed to be very low. The procedure for Aircore sampling issimilar to RC except the reject, following riffle splitting, is placed on the ground and notbagged. |
| Drillingtechniques | The resource estimate is overwhelmingly based on RC drilling (95%) other drillingtechniques include diamond (2%) and Aircore (3%). RC drilling has been used to delineateore bodies in this region over the last 25 years and is regarded as a satisfactory technique.Old reports indicate that most of the samples were kept dry. Face sampling hammers wereused for the majority of the RC drilling. |
| Drill samplerecovery | Diamond drilling (HQ) at Michelangelo, by Sons of Gwalia (SGW), no recovery figures areavailable but a report stated "there was some core loss in mineralised zones" howeveronly 53.8m of SGW diamond core is included in the resource calculation. The vast majorityof the RC drilling was conducted by Triton using suitable rigs with booster and auxiliarycompressors, as was the practice of the day. Rigs of this caliber provide satisfactory resultsin dry conditions. |
| It appears that the sample quality was satisfactory with the possible exception of any wetsamples. Sample recovery and comments regarding wet samples are not in the database. | |
| Aircore holes are as reliable as RC when the holes are shallow and under soft dryconditions as was the case at Raeside. | |
| No relationship between sample recovery and grade was observed. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Logging | There is a good deal of inconstancy in geological codes between different phases of drillingand the geological structure is complex. There is a major lack of supporting geological dataand most of the lithology in old holes was never captured digitally. Less than 50% of theholes were represented in the lithological database. |
| The details regarding drill hole logging techniques and procedures are unknown andundocumented. The vast majority of data was originally compiled by Triton and data setshave been passed down as ownership of the project changed. | |
| Sub-samplingtechniquesand samplepreparation | Triton diamond core, from a limited number of holes, 67m of mineralisation, was split tohalf core, typically at one metre intervals and assayed. No information is availableregarding SGW diamond core sampling techniques however it's considered to be half core.Limited information regarding Triton's RC sampling procedure indicates a riffle split at therig, to an appropriate size (2-3kg) was kept and 3m speared composite samples collectedand assayed via Aqua Regia, anomalous intervals would be collected from the original 1msplit and submitted for Fire Assay. Wet samples were also speared and assayed, whichyields a poor quality sample, but the intervals and quantity are unknown. RC samples fromSGW were "riffle split off the rig" at 1m intervals and it's assumed that the assaymethodology would have been similar to Triton being composites followed by anomalousre-splits. No details regarding Aircore sampling procedures could be located. |
| The RC sampling procedures would have been consistent with the standard industrypractices of the day. No systematic quality control checks were conducted on samplebatches therefore the reliability of the bulk of the assay data can't be demonstrated. | |
| QC procedures undertaken by SGW and Navigator Resources Ltd (Nav) have littlerelevance because of the small portion of the overall data they provide for the estimate. | |
| Quality of assaydata and | The reliability of the bulk of the assay data is unknown. Only limited information regardinglaboratories, sample preparation and analytical methodologies is available. |
| laboratory tests | Prior to 1994 most of the Triton samples were assayed using an Aqua Regia technique(AR/AAS) and some were Fire Assayed (usually if sulphide rich). From 1995 the standardanalytical procedure was initially 3m composite samples digested in Aqua Regia with AASanalysis determination. Anomalous values from selected zones using the original rig rifflesplit sample were subject to a Fire Assay with an AAS finish (when the weight charge wasquoted it was 50 gram). The drill hole data base lists the analytical code as unknown inmany entries. |
| There is no mention of checks directly comparing Fire Assay against Aqua Regia. The risk ofanalytical biases affecting some of the assay results can't be ruled out. Aqua Regia isregarded as a partial analytical technique; Fire Assay is regarded as a total analyticaltechnique. | |
| No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations used in thisresource estimate. | |
| It's unknown whether QA/QC samples were collected because no results are available inthe database and Triton did not impose any systematic quality control checks.Consequently analysis of any historical QA/QC data has not occurred. The reliability of thebulk of the assay data cannot be demonstrated. | |
| The Quality Control procedures used by Navigator and SGW have little relevance due tothe very small proportions of data provided by their drilling programmes. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Verification ofsampling andassaying | The returned significant intersections have been verified by company geologists andMcDonald Speijers, who calculated the original (2009) resource calculation however preNavigator information has limitations due to the legacy of different companies anddifferent procedures. The results from all phases of diamond, RC and Aircore drilling havebeen accepted on face value. McDonald Speijers was not able to gain any quantitative orsemi-quantitative impression of RC or Aircore sample recovery or sample quality. Corerecovery information is not presented in the database. There is always a risk that samplingor assaying biases may exist between results from different drilling programmes this maybe due to differing sampling protocols, different laboratories and different analyticaltechniques. |
| Generally by the mid 1980's face sample hammers were commonly in use. There is noconcrete information regarding the frequency of wet samples however the use of boostercompressors allowed the majority of holes to be dry. | |
| The history of sample preparation and assaying procedures is complex and incomplete.Numerous laboratories and analytical methods have been used over the years. The historicdata, dating back to 1992, is incomplete and McDonald Speijers was unable to accuratelyquantify the proportions of data derived from the various combinations of laboratoriesand methods. | |
| It's assumed that sampling and assay procedures were followed to the standards of theday; it seems that grades for most diamond and RC drill holes in mineralised zones havebeen obtained by fire assay. | |
| Top cuts selected ranged from 8-16g/t for the more substantial mineralised zones butusually between 4-8g/t for minor peripheral zones. No other alterations were made to thedata apart from top-cutting | |
| SGW twinned six pairs of holes at Michelangelo. The SGW assays were on average, 10%lower than the earlier Triton holes, however there were 2 unusually high results in a singleintercept, removing these 2 results returned the grade difference to 4% lower. Given thevariable nature of gold mineralisation the comparison is reasonably satisfactory. | |
| Location ofdata points | The co-ordinate data has been transferred from local grid to AGM and then to MGA, whentransferred back to local grid the results were to within a fraction of a metre however forresource estimation purposes the local grid co-ordinates were used. |
| It appears that at least 70% of all RC and diamond holes were surveyed and the rest werelocated reasonably accurately. McDonald Speijers felt that there is unlikely any serious riskassociated with the drill hole co-ordinates and they accepted the survey data base ascorrect. | |
| The majority of drill holes at Raeside are not very deep, only a few are >200m. There is ashortage of down hole survey data but it isn't a serious area of risk and holes that havebeen surveyed didn't show substantial deviations. | |
| A Digital Terrain Model of topography was supplied by Nav based on known collar surveyelevations and assumptions based on survey precision. McDonald Speijers believed the RLdata to be adequate and acceptable. |

| Data spacingand distribution | The drill patterns are deposit specific, at Michelangelo line spacing of 12.5m or 25m withholes at 25m intervals with localised closer spacing's to about 10m in some areas, holeswere orientated grid west at -60°. At the southern end of Leonardo the drill pattern isirregular with line spacing's ranging from 10m to 40m (25m average). Moving northwardthe pattern becomes regular at 20m intervals and 20m spacing but opens up to 40m andeven 70m towards the down dip limits of the drill pattern. Holes are inclined grid west at -60°. |
| At the Forgotten Four the initial drilling was on a different local grid (orientated 19°-20° tothe current grid) these holes were drilled grid west at -60° on 10m spaced lines. Recentdrilling was on 10m spaced lines at 25m intervals moving to 25m x 25m at the outer edgesof the mineralisation. Holes are all inclined grid west at -60°. | |
| At Krang a 25mx25m drill pattern covers most of the resource area although the patternbecomes incomplete in the western most zones, some areas have been infilled to 12.5mwith hole spacing at 10-20m along lines. Holes are predominantly drilled grid west at -60°. | |
| The local grid is orientated at 045° west of Magnetic North. | |
| There is not enough information to regard the assay data as reliable and accurate and sono part of the resource is regarded as measured. The majority of the estimate is Indicatedand a small percentage Inferred. The mineralised domains support sufficient continuityappropriate for JORC 2014 Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate procedures andthe classifications applied. | |
| Samples were composited over 1m down hole intervals. | |
| Orientation ofdata in relationto geologicalstructure | The ore zones at all four deposits strike roughly NW. At Michelangelo sub parallelmineralised zones typically dip 25° east, these zones are on or close to the dolerite contact(170° strike) at the contact mineralisation is sub parallel to the contact but as it movesaway from the contact (into the dolerite) their orientation becomes more distorted. TheH/W contact of the host unit is poorly defined in the lithological codes. |
| At Leonardo the southern end of single mineralised zone is a similar orientation toMichelangelo however as it moves north it steepens to 35-45° and the strike displays asignificant angular discordance however it strikes basically NW. | |
| At Forgotten Four the mineralisation strikes basically NW and dips 40-50° east | |
| At Krang the ore zone strikes basically NNW and dips 50-60° east. Flanking mineralisationis orientated more NS strike and dips 30-50°. | |
| A pervasive weak foliation is present in the host sequence sub parallel to the apparentstratigraphic layering. Mineralisation is generally related to zones of stronger foliation andweak to moderate shearing with local ductile deformation. | |
| No orientation based sampling bias has been identified. | |
| Samplesecurity | No details regarding sample security protocols are available for the Triton and SGW drillsamples. Numbered and compiled Navigator drill samples, although minimal, werecollected from the field on a daily basis and transported to a secure yard in Leonora as wastheir general practice. They were then processes and packaged into sacks 'bulkabags' fortransport to the assay laboratory. No particular security measures were imposed apartfrom sealing the sacks and a secure yard. |

| Audits orreviews | The data was validated, in all cases the Datamine versions of the data files after transfermatched those in the original Access sourced data tables. Holes were checked forduplication of hole numbers or co-ordinates, Overlaps, reversals or gaps in (to-from)sequences and statistically unusual values. The original JORC 2004 resource calculationwas conducted by McDonalds Speijers (2009) nothing has materially changed since thattime. A review of sampling and drilling techniques by Kin Mining and others indicates thatthey were conducted to the best practice industry standards of the day although historicdrilling and sampling methods and QA/QC are regarded as weaker than today's currentstandards |

| Explorationdone byother parties | Prospectors began to seriously explore the Raeside area during the 1980's. In 1989 TritonResources acquired the Forgotten Four area from local prospectors. In 1982 Triton (70%)formed a JV with Sabre Resources and Copperwell P/L (a subsidiary of Cityview EnergyCorp) amalgamating their tenements and applying for additional ground. Prior to 1996 drillexploration consisted of RAB with RC follow up, RAB was later replaced with Aircoredrilling due to clays and water issues. |
| Triton mined a trial parcel at Forgotten Four in 1990 (6,280t @ 5.18g/t Au) then extendedthe open pit to 40m in 1992 (43,359t @ 4.15g/t Au and L/G of 6,200t @ 1.0g/t Au)processing the ore at the Harbour Lights plant. Triton continued exploring (on and off) till1999 and decided the project was not an economically viable stand-alone operation. SGWfarmed into the project in 2000, subsequently acquiring full ownership, they conductedlimited drilling at Michelangelo. Navigator acquired the Raeside project from SGW (theadministrator) in 2004 but only conducted limited drilling. Kin have purchased all theassets of Navigator (from the administrator). |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Geology | Mineralisation within the Raeside prospect is hosted by a mixed package of fine grainedsediments and a quartz dolerite unit. The dolerite is sill like in nature and roughly confirmsto the observed bedding trends. The dolerite is fine to medium grained with extensivechlorite alteration. Discontinuities and breaks in diamond core are mostly orientated alongthe foliation planes and slickensides are prominent throughout. Gold mineralisation ishosted by a series of stacked, irregular, sub-parallel structures which dip at a shallow angleto the east. Higher gold grades are generally associated with increased quartz/carbonateveining and varying degrees of iron alteration. Veins are predominantly stockwork innature and widths of massive veining are generally <1m. |
| Gold mineralisation at Raeside occurs close to or within a large NW trending body ofdolerite in a sequence of mafic volcanics (basalts and dolerites) and sediments (dominantlyshales, some are graphitic) and/or intrusives near the southern margins of a porphyryintrusion. | |
| Gold mineralisation at Michelangelo is hosted by a uniform metamorphosed mediumgrained dolerite. The position of the F/W has been roughly delineated however no otherconvincing geological boundaries are defined. Gold mineralisation at Leonardo occursmainly in a partly graphitic shale (coded as generic metasediment) close or adjacent to amafic contact. Gold mineralisation at Forgotten Four and Krang is hosted mainly in maficrocks with some association with contact zones between mafic and metasediment units,the sediments are also mineralised. At the Forgotten Four the strongest zone ofmineralisation is just below the lower contact of the overlying sediments. Somemineralisation at Krang appears to be broadly related to the metasediments however noother convincing geological boundaries have been defined. | |
| Most of the mineralised zones contain weak stockworks or sheeted veins usually a fewcentimetresthickandrarely>1-2m,predominantlyquartzorquartz-carbonateaccompanied (below the base of oxidation) by disseminated to stringer sulphides (mostlypyrite and minor arsenopyrite). | |
| Geological structure is obscured by the lack of outcrop but the variation of themineralisation suggests a considerable level of structural complexity. | |
| Drill holeInformation | In all 2,430 drill holes for an advance of 153,100.4m are included in the drillhole summaryand used in the resource estimate, of which 10,139m are mineralised meters. It isimpractical to list a table of drill hole details in this report format. Exploration results arenot material to this report. The Mineral resource Estimate is based on all historic andmodern Diamond, RC Aircore and RAB drilling data. |
| DataAggregationmethods | Sample lengths in mineralised zones were predominantly 1m with a small proportion of2m and some 3m intervals. Some shorter intervals 0.3m to 0.95m occurred infrequently.McDonald Speijers concluded that composite lengths of 1m or integer multiples of a metrewere adequate for modelling purposes. |
| Metal equivalent values are not used in the estimate. Exploration results are not beingreported. Individual grades are reported as down hole length weighted averages | |
| RelationshipBetweenMineralisationwidths andintercept lengths | Drill holes were designed to achieve the optimum intersection of the mineralisation orclose to practicable true width to the mineralisation. The deposits are generally orientatedNW, drill holes were mostly drilled grid west (or SW) at -60°. |

| The continuity of thin mineralised zones at Michelangelo, particularly below the base ofstrong weathering, might not be as good as implied by the current interpretation. | |
| The level of accuracy for locating the drill holes cannot be confirmed however it appearsthat most RC and diamond holes are located with reasonably accurately and McDonaldSpeijers believed it was unlikely that there was a serious risk associated with drill holecollar co-ordinates. | |

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources
| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| DatabaseIntegrity | The database consists of an assemblage of data originally compiled by Triton (1989-98),Sons of Gwalia (2000-01) and Navigator (2004-08). The pre Navigator data cannot be fullyverified regarding reliability and accuracy. |
| The database was provided by Navigator, multiple programmes were conducted by Triton(vast majority of data), Navigator sourced some data from old annuals and DMP reportshowever they contain limited information regarding collection procedures and virtuallyno QA/QC information. SGW data is generally reliable and the Navigator data is goodalthough Navigator and SGW data represents a negligible percentage of the overall datapackage (approx. 2.5%). | |
| The bulk of the data has not been fully verified regarding quality, accuracy and reliability.Historical drill hole data was obtained by Navigator (Nav) from SGW (2004) andtransferred into the Nav database. McDonald Speijers validated 25 randomly selectedrepresentative holes (there are 2,430 holes in the database representing 153,100.4 drilledmetres); original logs were cited for 21 of the 25 and printed records of coordinates/sample numbers/assay reports found for the majority of the remainder.Original assay reports for 20 holes were cited and the others had assay results annotatedto the paper geological logs. Geological data for <50% of the holes had been entered; itseems that much of the original geological data was never formatted and entereddigitally. Validations were conducted on 93% of the assay records in the selected 25representative holes. | |
| The data base displays some discrepancy (which is expected considering the age of theinformation), particularly geological logs but there is a low rate of error in the sample andassay date base. Even though incomplete the database has been accepted as reliable andonly minor discrepancies were noted. However there is not enough information in the olddrillhole assay files to determine that the data is completely accurate and reliable thusthe classification of the resource is mostly Indicated (94.8%) with a small Inferredcomponent (5.2%) even though in some places the drill spacing is relatively close. | |
| No quality control assay checks were conducted by Triton. The reliability of the bulk of the |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| assay data used in the resource estimation, originally sourced from Triton (97.5%), can'tbe confirmed. QA/QC procedures were regularly conducted by Navigator and SGWhowever this data comprises a very small portion of the resource estimation. | |
| Site Visit | The Competent Person can confirm site conditions at Raeside. Kin's exploration teamhave conducted multiple site visits within the resource areas including time when a Kinstaff member was previously employed by Navigator. |
| GeologicalInterpretation | Interpretation of the subsurface geology is difficult due to inconsistencies in the loggingcodes. There is a lack of outcrop in the area; a veneer (2-10m thick) of recent transportedmaterial covers the ore bodies. The weathering profile is deep (25-75m), the structureobscure, the apparent orientation of the mineralisation varies suggesting a considerablelevel of structural complexity. |
| Most of the mineralisation, in the oxide zone, consists of quartz/quartz carbonate veiningin the form of weak stockworks or sheeted veins, in fresh rock disseminated to stringersulphides (pyrite and minor arsenopyrite) are associated with the "veining or weakstockwork". Individual veins are commonly centimetres thick and rarely exceed 1-2m. | |
| Total oxidation extends to a depth of 20-50m containing saprolitic clays. The transitionzone, containing partly oxidised sulphides, extends downward for another 5-20m. Thebase of oxidation may not represent the base of "free dig material". Weathering profileswere supplied by Navigator and are regarded as correct on face value. | |
| Mineralised lodes have a consistent geometry and any alternative interoperation isbelieved to have little impact on the resource estimate. | |
| The recorded geology, a portion of which is unavailable, seems to be contradictorythrough drillholes in relation to lithology, however mineralisation is associated withlogged quartz veining. | |
| Dimensions | Michelangelo-Leonardo –holes included in the estimate -486 holes intersectedmineralisation amounting to 5,529m of intersected mineralisation over a tested areacovering 960m of strike and 800m width. |
| Forgotten Four - holes included in the estimate - 112 holes intersected mineralisationamounting to 1,981m of intersected mineralisation over a tested area covering 520m ofstrike and 350m width. | |
| Krang - holes included in the estimate - 201 holes intersected mineralisation amounting to2,629m of intersected mineralisation over a tested area covering 650m of strike and500m width. | |
| The ore zones are obviously much narrower but no specific numbers are quoted. | |
| Estimations andModellingTechniques | The resource estimate was obtained using a 3D block model "Recovered Fraction" (RF)technique, block models were generated filling the 3D wireframes of the mineralisedzones with cells, SG was assigned using oxidation codes as per the data base, assay topcuts were applied, assays composited over 2m intervals, block models were estimatedusing a range of cut offs and anisotropic inverse distance cubed interpolation, under zonalcontrol. |
| A search radii of 20m, 20m and 3m was used for dip, strike and cross-dip forMichelangelo, 30m, 30m and 3m for Leonardo, 50m, 40m and 2m for Forgotten Four and20m, 30m and 3m for Krang. Search radii was determine relative to drill density. | |
| Parent block sizes were 4m X, 12.5 Y and 4 Z for Michelangelo, Leonardo and Krang. |

| Criteria | Commentary |
|---|---|
| Parent block sizes were 4m X, 10 Y and 4 Z for Forgotten Four, sub cells were half parentcells in all resource block models. Blocks are deemed appropriate relate to drill data. | |
| Estimates were initially made with no loss or dilution (hypothetical in situ estimate) andcompared to the original Nav estimate. A second set of estimates incorporating ore lossand dilatational skin thickness was also obtained. Following reconciliation from mining atMertondale 5 it was noted that somewhat larger dilution factors may be required tocorrelate with the reported grade/tonnage. The dilution factor applied to the Raesideresource may be somewhat optimistic. However Mert 5 (mafics/porphyry) is a completelydifferent style of mineralisation to Raeside (mafics/sediments).Furthermore manyresources have no dilution added at the resource stage. | |
| Diamond (1,906m), RC (102,264.2m) and Aircore (30,100.2m) have been utilised for theresource estimate. RAB drilling (18,822m) when mineralised is used as a guide to supportthe interpretation however RAB holes were rejected for the resource estimate purposes. | |
| Top cuts selected ranged from 4-16g/t Au a pod by pod basis with the use of cumulativelog-probability plots, histograms and Iterative tests. | |
| Triton mined a trial parcel at Forgotten Four in 1990 (6,280t @ 5.18g/t Au) then extendedthe open pit to 40m in 1992 (43,359t @ 4.15g/t Au and L/G of 6,200t @ 1.0g/t Au)processing the ore at the Harbour Lights plant. | |
| Previous resource calculations completed by Navigator compare well with the undilutedRF model as there is no significant change in total contained ounces and a 5% variance ingrade. Applying dilution skins and containing the resource within a $2000 pit shellincreases the level of confidence in the current resource.No by-products are to be recovered. | |
| Testwork on samples from Michelangelo and Krang (oxide and transition) did not revealany metallurgical issues however there may be an issue with (potential) refractory oreparticularly at Leonardo where the ore is associated with graphitic shales, this has notbeen taken into account with the current resource. | |
| No assumptions are made regarding selective mining units. | |
| No assumptions are made regarding correlation between variables.Downhole lithology data was plotted and colour coded in Surpac and sectionalinteroperation of geological boundaries were generated. Wireframes of lodes were usedas hard boundaries to contain the interpolation. Lithology was limited and contradictoryand lodes were constrained by grade and quartz content. | |
| Varying top cuts were applied following a series of processes including log-probability | |
| plots, Iterative tests, log histograms and cross section inspection.To check that the interpolation of the block model honoured the drill data, validation wascarried out comparing the interpolated blocks to the sample composite data, thevalidation plots showed good correlation thus the raw drill data was honoured by theblock model. | |
| Moisture | Tonnages and grades were estimated on a dry in situ basis. No moisture values werereviewed. |
| Cut-offParameters | Preliminary operating cost estimates established by Navigator indicate that the breakeven mill feed grade cut-off for the Raeside deposits are in the vicinity of 0.7g/t Au. |
| MiningFactors orAssumptions | The current resource estimation were made using a down-hole dilution skin set at 0.4mfor oxide material and 0.7m for transitional and primary material. Downhole ore loss wasset at 0.2m in the oxide and 0.3m in the transitional and primary zones. |

| EnvironmentalFactorsor Assumptions | An old mined open pit exists at the Forgotten Four (no final survey is available). It'sunknown if the pit has been back filled because of current water levels. Environmentalfactors are unknown. No environmental assumptions have been made. |
| Bulk Density | Several density tests have been conducted by various companies utilising differenttechniques over the projects period (gamma-gamma density probing and generalisedassumptions). Techniques are poorly documented and information relating to how theSG's were measured is limited, none of the previous bulk density testwork was accepted. |
| SGW conducted gamma-gamma surveys and density measurements from core atMichelangelo. McDonald Speijers accepted the SGW figures of 2.0t/m3 oxide, 2.4 t/m3transition and 2.7 t/m3 for oxide. The values appear reasonable for Michelangelo. Theremaining three deposits, that tend to be more like the Forgotten Four than Michelangeloused the mining based values from the mining of the Forgotten Four open pit being1.9t/m3 oxide, 2.35 t/m3 transition and 2.65 t/m3 for oxide. | |
| There remains a general shortage of verifiable dry bulk density measurements and thereis a lack of any bulk density measurements in the Leonardo deposit. | |
| Values for bulk density test work conducted to date either don't agree very well and can'tbe accepted or an arbitrary assumed factor was included in the calculation or there arecrucial explanations of methodologies that are missing. The SG values used in theestimation are considered to be reasonable however they are still a "best guess" basedon nearby mines and recommendations by Nav. Physical measurements on samples arerequired to finalise the SG however most of the samples have been lost, destroyed orrehabilitated over the last 25 years. The density factors originally adopted by SGW forMichelangelo (2.0 t/m3 oxide, 2.40 t/m3 transition, 2.70 t/m3 fresh) appear reasonableand were adopted. A slightly lower SG factor was applied to the remaining depositsbecause host lithologies are similar to Forgotten Four (1.90 t/m3 oxide, 2.35 t/m3transition, and 2.65 t/m3 fresh). | |
| Classification | The resource estimate was obtained using a 3D block model "Recovered Fraction" (RF)technique, when applied without ore loss or dilution parameters it results in ahypothetical insitu tonnage and grade, if appropriate ore loss or dilution parameters areapplied then the result is a recoverable resource estimate. |
| Due to the lack of reliability and not being able to verify the quality of the bulk of the olddrill hole assays the mineralisation could not be classified as Measured despite therelatively close spaced drilling in places. The majority of the resource is Indicated (94.8%)and where drill spacing is wider and the interpretation of the mineralisation is notconvincing an Inferred classification (5.2%) is applied however much of this percentagefalls outside the limits of material that meet the resource classification criteria. AtLeonardo the applied bulk density values limits the classification to Indicated. | |
| An Inferred classification was applied to any mineralised zone where the drill sectionsexceeded 40m i.e. down dip extensions of Leonardo and some peripheral zones in theother deposits. | |
| Audits andReviews | Internal audits were compiled by McDonald Speijers and Kin geologists where possibleand data was checked and validated however in some instances assumptions were madebased on information supplied by Nav (SG and weathering depths). Some data (geologicallogs) are scant; the assay data is historical and could not be independently verified. Thedefinitive numbers are considered by the Competent Person as reasonable. The drillholedatabase was generated by transferring and collated databases generated by previous |

| owners. 25 holes (mineralised intersections containing 1,141 sample records) wereselected at random and checked against originals the data correlation was not perfect butacceptable (quite good 93%) considering the age of the data and the passing throughdifferent company history. | |
| Discussionof RelativeAccuracy andConfidence | The drill hole assay data is old (mostly originating from Triton) and second if not thirdhand, accuracy and reliability of the samples are unknown and have not been verified, itsassumed to be correct however no QA/QC control or check measures have been noted orapplied. Numerous entries are missing from the geological logging data and there is agood deal of inconsistency in the geological codes thus geological control is limited. TheSG value has been assigned based on local knowledge (determined by Nav) however thebulk density values have not been verified particularly at Leonardo. |
| At Michelangelo some of the thin mineralised zones may not be as good as theinterpretation suggests particularly below the base of strong weathering. | |
| Ore loss and dilution factors applied to the model may require adjustment up or downsubject to the physical characteristics of the ore boundaries and proposed miningprocedures. Indications from reconciliation of mining at Mertondale suggest that thedilution factor at Raeside might be optimistic which possibly may result in a tonnagereduction. The dilution skins uses in the RF modelling at Mertondale were 0.5m (oxide)and 0.8m (transition and fresh), 0.1m greater in each case than those used in the Raesidemodels, ore loss skins were the same. However many resources do not apply dilution atthis stage and therefore the resources at Raeside can be considered robust. |
