Quarterly Exploration Report: June 2013 EKJV Quarterly Activity

Summary

This report provides a quarterly report on work conducted by Barrick Kanowna on the East Kundana Joint Venture (EKJV). The EKJV is a joint venture between Barrick Gold subsidiary company Gilt-Edge Mining NL (GEM) and Rand Mining Ltd and Tribune Resources Ltd.

Work was conducted on the Pegasus and Drake prospects within the EKJV on mining lease M16/309.

Drilling at Pegasus between April and June 2013 focused on infill drilling K2 in an area between the 5900RL and 6100RL. This drilling was resource definition drilling designed to convert inferred resources into indicated reserves.

Drilling in late June was designed to test the K2 structure at depth beneath the Drake deposit, searching for extensions to mineralisation along strike in a trend similar to that seen at Frogs Leg.

Figure 1 shows a collar plan of the second quarter 2013 drilling.

Drilling

A total of 14 diamond drill holes were completed during the quarter for a total advance of 3302.2m

Reverse circulation drilling was utilised on some of the drill holes as pre-collars and a total advance of 1390m of RC was achieved for the quarter

Pegasus

The majority of drilling in the 2nd quarter of 2013 was focused on resource definition drilling. Desktop studies are underway evaluating the Pegasus deposit and infill drilling is required in this area to assist with this evaluation. 11 holes were drilled into the Pegasus project during the quarter. Figure 2 shows an updated long projection of the K2 mineralisation for the Pegasus project.

Results for this are tabled below (Table 1). Significant intersections are listed:

PGDD13007 2.34m @ 21.2 g/t Au from 487m
PGDD13008 3.6m @ 38.85 g/t Au from 463.1m
PGDD13012 1.67m @ 21.7 g/t Au from 265.28m

Drake

Towards the end of the June quarter, two holes were drilled near the Drake deposit targeting mineralisation on the K2 structure at depth. The aim for this program is to test for wide, high grade gold mineralisation along K2 similar to that observed at the Frogs Leg mine to the south.

Table 1 Final results:

K2 is the main mineralised surface and spans a carbonaceous shale unit, the Centenary Shale. Where the shale unit is thick and the position of the vein is distinct, K2 has been sub‐divided into the K2 vein on the footwall of the Centenary Shale (K2_CFW), and K2 vein on the hangingwall of the same shale (K2_CHW). K2B and K2A are sub‐parallel structures analogous to K2, but positioned in the hanging wall basalt. K2, K2A and K2B are all part of the same suite of shears that form part of the regional Zuleika Shear Zone.
