Drilling Programme Update

Reverse circulation ("RC") drilling is progressing to schedule with 23 holes drilled for a total of 3,035 metres completed to date, primarily on the Chatsworth Prospect.

The drilling has consistently intersected quartz veining with strong malachite mineralisation in the near surface holes, and quartz veins with stringer and disseminated sulphides (chalcopyrite/pyrrhotite/pyrite in veins over 5m wide) in the deeper holes.

The RC drilling programme of circa 8,000 metres is on budget and is planned to be completed by the third week of December.

Assays and Results

The first batch of drill samples for assay will arrive at the lab within the fortnight. The Company will be endeavouring to have initial results of these samples analysed and available for release by the end of the month.

The balance of the drill program assays are expected to be analysed by February 2015, following which the delivery of a maiden JORC resource is expected in the March 2016 quarter.

Aim of the Drilling Programme

The Company has identified a number of prospective targets for drilling at the Tollu Project, with the aim of the RC drilling programme being to target near surface hydrothermal copper (oxide and sulphide) mineralisation. The main activity will be concentrated on the known higher-grade zones at the Chatsworth, Main Reef and Eastern Reef prospects within the Tollu Project. The primary purpose will be the validation of the Tollu mineralised system. The delivery of a maiden (JORC) copper resource is an expected outcome, the size of which will depend on the amount of any further funding.

Site Visit

The Company also recently completed a site visit with current major investor shareholders and potential institutional investors for the purpose of current and future funding objectives. Some photos taken on this site visit and of the drilling are shown on pages 3-4.

Entitlement Offer and Funding
