JORC Code Information

Metal equivalent Calculations

Mineral Resource estimates include copper equivalent grades incorporating copper, silver and gold values. The copper equivalent grades are based on copper, silver and gold prices of $7000/t, $20.00/oz and $1300/oz with overall recoveries of 95%, 90% and 66% respectively. These estimates are based on Peel's interpretation of potential commodity prices and the Company's interpretation of first pass metallurgical test work performed on Mallee Bull diamond core using the following formula: Cu equivalent (%) = Cu (%) + 0.009 x Ag (g/t) + 0.415 x Au (g/t). It is the company's opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold. Additional test work is required to demonstrate potential metallurgical recoveries for cobalt, lead and zinc.

JORC Code

All information within this presentation relating to Mineral Resources is referred to Table 1 as appended into ASX market release "Highgrade Copper Resource at Mallee Bull" dated 27.05.2014.

Any previously reported information within this announcement is referred to Table 1 of PEX's Quarterly Activity Statement dated 31.01.2017 or other previously released Quarterly Activity Statements or to the Competent Persons Statements in the Disclaimer.
