Tentative Concepts on the Deposit Origin Mineralised System at Fifield – Geology Notes

  • Hot fluids charged with Au, Ag ascend in fracture channels

  • Low flow in impervious volcanic layer – precipitates Au, Ag

  • High Carbon and pyrite content in rock layer below volcanic promotes deposition in restricted flow positions

  • Fracturing and intersections of fracturing critical to focusing mineralisation within the receptive carbonaceous horizon

  • Accompanying silica pervades the carbonaceous sediments resulting in the common and important “black silica” host

  • Preliminary basis for chargeable values seen in the geology

  • Sulphides, graphite present

  • Mineralisation appears associated with the IP here, key assays pending

Geological Concept Model

– Syncline Rift Basin in Plan View

  • Sorpresa at the margin only

  • Key marker Geology “Black Silica”

  • Strongly gold mineralised system  Cross cutting faults and shears

  • Potential for pooled mineralisation

  • Extensive Area 8km[2] and open

  • Discovery occurred at eroded positions – Trench 31

  • Most of the area is under light alluvium

  • Likely best Au zones not yet seen  Thicker sections in Rift Basin Centre

  • Integrated Model compelling for multi-million ounce Au potential

==> picture [332 x 416] intentionally omitted <==

Rimfire Pacific Mining - AGM 2012

Sorpresa Fine Au Discovery Important Lessons

  • Subtle Mineralisation Expression

Only discovered due to eroded lenses at surface in geochemistry

  • High Grades for Au and Ag, we have not seen the best grades yet

Most of the area (8km[2] ) subdued with light alluvium

Fine disseminated Gold and Silver

  • Metal Zoning, Au, Ag and pathfinders (Pb, As, Sb) aid discovery

  • Deeper Connection for the mineralisation suggested by IP

  • Conventional style of exploration program - Au Assays

Only a small coarse Au fraction encountered to date, not included in grade

  • Other Au noted at Fifield outside Sorpresa Area

Exploration Programs 2013

 Drilling Plans and Geophysics

◦ In-house percussion Rig approx. 10,000m, discovery, scout and delineation

◦ Contract Rigs approx. 10~15,000m, delineation and deeper capacity

==> picture [256 x 110] intentionally omitted <==

◦ Likely some more Gravity, IP and Radiometrics

 Target Types

  • Current Sorpresa and its expansion in the 8km[2] Basin Area

  • IP Anomaly under Sorpresa – 150m to 350m depth range

◦ Regional Targets –all Drill ready e.g. Bulls Eye Hill, Eclipse North, etc.

  • Line drilling in alluvium covered areas within the Basin

  • Possible Deep Trenching Platina Lead

Objectives for 2013

  • Maiden Resource Definition(s)

  • Resolution of the IP connection

  • Metallurgical testing

==> picture [221 x 176] intentionally omitted <==

  • Expansion– Discoveries Beyond current Sorpresa

Requires further investment in management and greater use of capital going forward

Rimfire Pacific Mining - AGM 2012

22 November, 2012

33

Why support Rimfire?

Sorpresa at an exciting stage

High Grades both Au and Ag

Fine disseminated native Au - assay friendly

Near surface mineralisation

Moving to resource definition(s)

  • Fifield is a good infrastructure location

==> picture [154 x 116] intentionally omitted <==

Discovery Growth in Wider Sorpresa 8km[2 ] Area

 A strong gold mineralised presence exists

  • Au receptive Geology – Syncline Rift Basin setting

  • Part of a much larger Au mineralising system at Fifield

  • World Class Discoveries are possible in this setting

  • Potential for multi-million ounce Au

  • The Company should look very different in 12 months time
