CHRYSALIS RESOURCES ZAMBIAN JOINT VENTURE AGREEMENT

==> picture [65 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

The decision by FQM to proceed to the Earn-in phase of the Letter Agreement is subsequent to the receipt of final multi-element soil sample results from the Kabwima and Shikila projects in Zambia. A total of 8,825 soil samples were collected at 500m x 500m spacings across the entire Kabwima and Shikila project areas (refer to ASX announcements dated 18[th] November 2014 and 29[th] January 2015). The results have confirmed previous copper in soil anomalies identified by Chrysalis and have identified several new significant copper in soil anomalies, including one very large anomaly located ~6km NNE of the previously drilled Kimabwe Prospect in the south-western part of the Kabwima Project (Figure 1).

The soil results from the Kabwima Project included 30 soil samples >200ppm Cu, to a maximum of 500ppm Cu from a sample collected ~17 kilometres along strike to the NW of the Mutenda prospect. The largest and most significant Cu-in-soil anomaly from within the Kabwima Project (Target H) is up to 2 kilometres wide and runs discontinuously for a distance of more than 10 kilometres. Apart from checking the residual nature of the soil in the area, the anomaly has been confirmed and characterised by plotting the Cu/Sc ratio in soil which removes the effect of Cu anomalism due to naturally elevated copper levels in mafic rock types (e.g. gabbro which are very common in this region). Figure 1 shows an image produced from the Kabwima soils Cu/Sc ratio data and confirms the Cu-in-soil anomalism associated with Target H, and various other areas including Target B, Target D, and the previously identified and drilled Kimabwe Prospect. Elevated Fe and Ti levels (typically high in soils derived from mafic rock types) have also been used to discriminate between true Cu-insoil anomalism and rock type related elevated copper (e.g. the strong linear anomaly in the NW corner of the project appears to be gabbro related, but ground checking is obviously required).

The results from the Shikila Project included 21 soil samples >100ppm Cu to a maximum of 364ppm Cu from a sample collected from within the largest anomaly in the Shikila Project - the Wangolo resource area (Figure 2). Soil anomalism was also confirmed over the previously identified Area 4 target (Figure 4). Previous drilling completed by Chrysalis Resources at Area 4 included the best intercept (7m @ 0.10% Cu from 11m) from the 26 hole, 2,145m RC drilling program completed within the Shikila Project in 2013 (refer to ASX announcement dated 3[rd] January 2014).

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels,
random
chips,
or
specific
specialised industry standard measurement
tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects
of
the
determination
of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce
a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases
more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities
or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
Soil Samples:
Soil samples referred to in this Public Report are
obtained using an ‘industry standard’ sampling
equipment and sampling practices.
Each sample site is located using a hand held GPS.
The sample location is then adjusted when
necessary in order to avoid tracks, alluvium, or
other transported material. Metal picks and
shovels are used to dig holes at varying depths
down to a nominal B-Horizon. Approximately 2 to
3 kg of soil from the B-horizon only is collected in
plastic bags and taken back to the base camp for
drying and sieving under controlled conditions.
Sampling was carried out using documented CYS
sampling and QAQC procedures (detailed below).
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by
_what method, etc.). _

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
Laboratory QAQC involves the use of internal
laboratory standards using certified reference
material, blanks, and duplicates as part of the CYS
in house QAQC procedures.
CYS used commercially available QAQC reference
materials, having a good range of values, and
were inserted regularly.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Soil sampling data is collected by CYS qualified
geologists and geo-technicians working under the
supervision of a qualified geologist, and entered
into Excel spreadsheets. Validation rules are in
place to ensure no data entry errors occur. Data
is loaded into an Microsoft Access database by a
consultant database administrator, and reviewed
by the CYS MD, who is a competent person.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the
procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths
and

lengths
These
relationships
are
particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down
hole length, true width not known’).

Appropriate plans have been included in the
body of this announcement.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and
