For detailed information relating to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves see ASX Release (RMS) 30 September 2016, ‘Resources and Reserves Statement’ and ASX Release (RMS) 31 January 2017, ‘December 2016 Quarterly Activities Report’.

¹ Morning Star Deeps Exploration Target currently has no drilling between 1,200mbs and 1,600mbs. The target, based upon an extrapolation of the mined lodes within the historical underground mine will be tested by two deep parent diamond drill holes and approximately 20 daughter holes (wedges off the parents) that are designed to pierce the projected lode positions on nominal 40m centres, over 400 vertical metres, from 1,200mbs to 1,600mbs. The timeframe required to complete the drilling programme with one diamond drill rig is estimated to be eight months. Diamond drilling commenced in late January 2017. The grade range is based upon historical underground mine performance of the Star Decline depicted in Slide 16 until the closure of the – Morning Star mine in 2005. Limited previous drilling to 1,200mbs (as previously reported see ASX Release (RMS) 31 January 2017, ‘December 2016 Quarterly Activities Report’) confirms the continuity of gold mineralisation below the limit of historical underground mining to 980mbs.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this presentation and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.

Reported significant gold assay intersections (using a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut) are reported using 1m downhole intervals at plus 0.5 g/t gold, with up to 2m of internal dilution. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. NSR denotes no significant results. True widths of the Shannon drill holes are estimated to be 81% of the reported downhole intersections. True widths of the reported mineralised intersections at Eddie Carson remain unconfirmed. With limited surface collar access, Eddie Carson Lode holes drilled azimuth west (250[0] ) may be partially drilled down dip but additional infill drilling is required to confirm this, and/or the presence of multiple lodes. True widths of Black Cat South drill holes are estimated to be 60% of the reported down hole intersections. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50. Abn Hole denotes hole was abandoned due to excessive deviation away from its intended target.

Reported anomalous gold assay intersections are constrained using a 0.40 g/t Au lower cut for the 4m composite interval, with up to 4m of internal dilution. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. NSR denotes no significant results. EOH denotes end of hole depth. True widths remain unknown at this stage of exploration. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50.
