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.
Further Information
Further information can be found within the relevant ASX announcements dated 6 th July 2017 "MALLEE BULL RESOURCE GROWS 65% TO 175,000t CuEq" and dated 26th March 2020 "SUBSTANTIAL RESOURCE UPGRADE FOR SOUTHERN NIGHTS". Other details can be found in relevant quarterly reports.
May Day Information
Further information can be found in ASX announcement dated 5 th July 2010 "ENCOURAGING GOLD-BASE METALS AT MAY DAY". Other details including historic drilling data can be found at NSW Geological Survey online statutory reporting system NSW DIGS.
