  • Potential Gold-Dominant Shallow Opportunity at May Day
  • Increase/Improve Wagga Tank-Southern Nights Resource
  • Improve/Increase Mallee Bull Resource
  • Maiden Mineral Resource at Wirlong

Standalone Milling Considerations

  • Variable deposit geo-metallurgy requires milling flexibility
  • Conceptual mill needs to ability to process all ore styles; utilise gravity, (sequential) sulphide flotation and cyanide leach
  • Ore-sorting offers potential for reduced infrastructure and capital costs

GOLD'S TIME IS NOW; COPPER'S IS APPROACHING

Supply side

  • Average mined head grade has fallen from ~0.75% in 2003 to ~0.55% in 2018
  • Exploration costing more to find less:
    • o 1990-2008 yielded 993 Mt Cu
    • o 2009-2019 yielded 103 Mt Cu
  • Forecast deficit of up to 8Mtpa by 2030

Demand side

• Greta Thunberg "defining moment" with copper set to drive global electrification (EVs, renewable energy)

Conclusion:

Price step-change required to meet demand

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.
