POTENTIAL

  • 2km long mineralised system open along strike and to depth

  • Infill drilling confirming existing mineralisation

  • Extensional drilling growing the mineralised envelope

19

MOOLART WELL OPTIMISATION Conversion of low-grade resources into reserves

  • Conceptual work begun on the opportunities which may exist to extend the operating life if higher gold prices are used for Ore Reserve

  • Significant low-grade, oxide resources could potentiall y be exploited and extend the life of the operation to more than 5 years

  • Options are also being considered to debottleneck and expand the milling capacity to grow production and reduce costs
