Competent Person Statement

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Mr Ian Mulholland BSc (Hons), MSc, FAusIMM, FAIG, FSEG, MAICD, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Mulholland has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration, and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Mulholland is a full time employee of the Company and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Resource Targets

The potential quantity and grades of the resource targets listed in this presentation are conceptual in nature, although they are based on reasonable expectations, but insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource has been carried out at this point in time, and it is uncertain whether further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Ultramafic
Sulphidic
Chert
Basalt
----- End of picture text -----

  • Similar geological sequence to Bronzewing; ultramafic  sulphidic chert  basalt

  • Mineralisation is plunging to south  open at depth

  • Drill intercepts such as; 6m @ 9.4 g/t and 2m @ 5.4 g/t

  • Still a lot of room for a resource target of 150 – 500 kt at 3 – 5 g/t gold

==> picture [162 x 69] intentionally omitted <==

Targets Along Strike

  • Host to mineralisation at Mt Fisher is sulphidic chert

  • Coincident magnetic and EM anomalies at Mt Fisher

  • Magnetic anomaly at Moray Reef also

  • Detailed aeromagnetics and VTEM flown

  • Several gold targets identified

  • VTEM also along ultramafic  nickel sulphide targets

  • 5,000m of RC drilling in Oct-Nov 2011
