SOUTHERN NIGHTS-WAGGA TANK JORC RESOURCE

Bringing Critical Mass to Peel's Cobar Basin Endeavours

Solid Foundations for Development Planning

  • Maiden JORC Resource provides robust platform to commence internal scoping studies
  • Potential development options include both standalone and dig-and-truck processing options
  • Discovery cost of only US$33 per ZnEq1 tonne
  • Drilling to enhance quality and quantity of resource to now underway

SOUTHERN NIGHTS CENTRAL ZONE

Unparalleled Tenor Highlights System Potential

WAGGA TANK-SOUTHERN NIGHTS

Extensive High-Grade System – Growth Underway

AUSTRALIAN VMS AND COBAR DEPOSITS

Southern Nights-Wagga Tank Resource Geologically & Economically Significant

  • Wagga Tank–Southern Nights maiden JORC Resource forms the basis for potential long-life mine
  • Mineralisation extent delineated to date analogous to other major base metal mines in Australia
  • Exploration upside mine life of Cobar operations and many VMS systems significantly exceeds initial LoM expectations due to discovery of additional mineralisation

VMS Deposit Examples:

  • Jaguar Mine (Cu-Zn-Ag) Pre-Mining Inventory* (2005):
    • ➢ 1.6Mt @ 3.4% Cu, 12.9% Zn, 132g/t Ag
  • Bentley Mine (Cu-Zn-Ag) Pre-Mining Inventory* (2009):
    • ➢ 1.9Mt @ 2.2% Cu, 14.3% Zn, 198g/t Ag
  • Hera Mine (Au-Zn-Pb-Ag) Pre-Mining Inventory^ (2011):

JORC CODE INFORMATION

Mallee Bull metal equivalent calculations

The information in this report includes metal equivalent calculations for Mallee Bull incorporating copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc values. The copper equivalent grades are based on copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc prices of US$5,500/t, US$17.00/oz, $1,200/oz, US$2,100/t and US$2,500/t with overall recoveries of 95%, 85%, 40%, 90% and 85% respectively. These estimates are based on Peel's interpretation of potential commodity prices and the Company's interpretation of early stage metallurgical test work performed on Mallee Bull diamond core using the following formula: Cu equivalent (%) = Cu (%) + 0.009 x Ag (g/t) + 0.295 x Au (g/t) + 0.362 x Pb (%) + 0.407 x Zn (%). It is the company's opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

Southern Nights-Wagga Tank metal equivalent calculations

The information in this report includes metal equivalent calculations for Southern Nights-Wagga Tank incorporating zinc, lead, silver, copper and gold values. The zinc equivalent grades are based on zinc, lead, silver, copper and gold prices of A$3,450/t, A$2,685/t, A$20/oz, A$8,350/t and A$1,880/oz respectively with overall recoveries of 90%, 81%, 81%, 81% and 81% respectively. These estimates are based on Peel's interpretation of potential commodity prices and the Company's interpretation of early stage metallurgical testwork performed on Southern Nights diamond core. The metal equivalent used the following formula: Zn equivalent (%) = (Zn ppm + (2.18*Cu ppm) + (0.70*Pb ppm) + (15,768*Au ppm) + (168*Ag ppm))/10000. It is the company's opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.
