• Precious-base metal explorer with three key assets:
-
Apollo Hill gold project, option to purchase (Goldfields WA)
-
Attunga Project, tungsten, gold, copper, moly (Tamworth region)
-
May Day gold-base metals project (Cobar region)
-
Project highlights:
-
Apollo Hill is large, protruding gold deposit, never mined
-
Apollo Hill is open along strike/down dip; excellent regional exploration potential
-
Attunga tungsten = rare metal exposure; tungsten price now pre-GFC levels
-
Attunga copper-gold-moly & Kensington gold open along strike/down dip
-
May Day gold-base metals is underexplored, open down dip; G5 large unexplained regional magnetic target
-
Outlook 2010/2011:
-
Apollo Hill maiden JORC resource, extensional/infill drilling; met-testwork; scoping
-
Attunga tungsten bulk sample & met-testwork
-
May Day VTEM survey, deeps diamond drilling and RAB drilling

• Geology
– Project area is 6 km west of major mineralising Keith-Kilkenny lineament – Apollo Hill is shear-hosted deposit; sits on Apollo Shear, splay off KKL
– Shear can be traced by magnetics for >20 km strike
– Mineralisation straddles strongly deformed felsic/mafic contact
- Discovery, mineralisation and alteration
– Discovered 1986 by Fimiston Mining chasing eluvial gold at base of hill – Extensive mineralisation, >1 km long & up to 250m wide – Carbonate-quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration
– Coarse free gold in quartz veining is common
– Structurally complex; multiple mineralising events – Occurs in 2 separate deposits – Apollo Hill and Camp Zone – Camp Zone located ~300m W of Apollo Hill; concealed beneath cover

-
Exploration
-
Multiple campaigns of exploration over 25 years
-
Battle Mountain, Homestake, MPI, Teck Cominco farmed-in looking for >1Moz deposits
-
Apex last JV partner (earn 60% by spending $5m)
-
>$10 million of exploration spent since discovery
-
<5% drilling deeper than 100m; <1% drilling deeper than 200m
– Multiple high grade hits at Apollo Hill and Camp Zone deposits: 10m at 6.5 g/t Au from 256m; 2m at 31 g/t Au from 146m; 12m at 4.5 g/t Au from 186m (all from Apex drilling)
- High grade hit 500m north of Apollo Hill: 5m at 26 g/t Au needs follow up
– Camp Zone south (14m @ ~1 g/t Au) remains open
-
Extensive tracts of Apollo Shear remain untested due to lake cover
-
Gold is freemilling; >80% gravity recovery, good cyanidation response

• Resource estimation
- JORC resource estimate underway; completion imminent
– Based on 23,000m of aircore, RC and diamond drilling
– Truncated at 150m below surface
- SG range used: oxide = 1.8, fresh = 2.6
– Apollo Hill resource is open internally (between drillholes) and to south
-
Camp Zone is open down dip and along strike (north-south)
-
JORC compliance QA/QC nearly finished
-
Exploration planning
-
Induced Polarisation survey
– 2,000m RC and 300m diamond infill and extensional drill programme
– Comprehensive met-testwork
-
Revised JORC resource estimate
-
Scoping study

- Gold-Lead-Zinc-Silver-Copper VMS mineralisation:
– Acquired 100% of May Day gold-lead-zinc deposit (granted ML1361)
– Surrounding area (84km[2] ) covered under EL
– Strategic landholding, surrounded by majors MMG and OZ Minerals
– Drilling in 1970’s discovered high-grade VMS system (gold-lead-zinc-silvercopper); drilling in 1980’s discovered shallow oxide gold deposit; heap leach gold operation conducted in late 1990’s
- Analogue for Cobar-style deposits which are generally large-scale, eg Cobar, CSA, Peak, Elura
– Recent drilling by Peel confirms significant deposit: 16m at 1.78 g/t Au, 42 g/t Ag, 0.25% Cu, 0.95% Pb, 1.33% Zn from 159m, and 27m at 2.12 g/t Au, 27 g/t Ag, 0.11% Cu, 0.43% Pb, 0.75% Zn from 120m
