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.

Mallee Bull and Wagga Tank-Southern Nights Information

Further information can be found in the ASX announcements dated 6[th] July 2017 “MALLEE BULL RESOURCE GROWS 65% TO 175,000t CuEq” and dated 26[th] 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 the ASX announcement dated 16[th] December 2020 “MAIDEN MAY DAY INFERRED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE”. Other details including historic drilling data can be found at NSW Geological Survey online statutory reporting system NSW DIGS.

Metal Exposure / Relative Growth Charts and Cobar Basin Metal Endowment Table

The simplified information in the pie charts on Page 6 is derived from Peel’s Cobar Basin resource base at the relevant snapshot points in time, i.e. June 2020 – the pie chart comprises 50% of Mallee Bull resources and 100% of Wagga Tank-Southern Nights; whilst the October 2020 pie chart comprises 100% of Mallee Bull, 100% of Wagga Tank-Southern Nights and 100% of May Day. Metal pricing used in the pie chart was based on copper, silver, gold, lead and zinc prices of A$9,874/t, A$31/oz, A$2,448/oz, A$2,720/t and A$3,672t respectively. This metal pricing was also used to define the relative value of Cobar Basin Metal Endowment.

December 2020 May Day Inferred Mineral Resource Estimates at 0.65 g/t gold equivalent cut off grade

May Day gold equivalent factors

The MRE includes gold equivalent grades incorporating gold, silver, zinc, lead and copper AUD prices of $2,206/oz, $26.47/oz, $3,382/t, $2,941/t and $8,529/t respectively. These prices reflect Peel’s interpretation of potential commodity prices. Overall metal recoveries included in the gold equivalent calculation, which are based on Peel’s interpretation of metallurgical test work results for May Day mineralisation are as follows: oxide mineralisation:- gold 90%, silver 20%; fresh mineralisation:- gold 90%, silver 55%, zinc 75%, lead 40%, and copper 30%. These parameters give the following formulae:

Oxide: AuEq g/t = Au g/t + 0.00267 x Ag g/t Fresh: AuEq g/t = Au g/t + 0.00733 x Ag g/t + 0.397 x Zn% + 0.184 x Pb% + 0.401 x Cu%

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

  • Global de-carbonisation and electrification to drive copper (EVs, renewable energy)

Conclusion:

Price step-change required to meet demand
