• Volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) ore deposits are a type of metal sulfide ore deposit (mainly copper, zinc and lead) created by volcanic-associated hydrothermal events in submarine environments

• Predominantly layered accumulations of sulfide minerals that precipitate from hydrothermal fluids on or below the seafloor in a wide range of ancient and modern settings

• In modern oceans, they are synonymous with sulfurous plumes called black smokers

==> picture [466 x 477] intentionally omitted <==

• Most significant VMS deposits occur in clusters that define major mining camps – major source of global copper, zinc, lead production, eg:

• Bathurst (New Brunswick) – 229.8Mt @ 0.46% Cu, 7.66% Zn, 3.01% Pb, 91g/t Ag, 0.46g/t Au (camp discovered 1952)

Note 1: An open pit cut-off grade of 8.5% Cu is applied on the Chalcocite to provide a targeted 26% Cu direct sale product (Achieved 25.6% Cu after dilution). All other material within the defined deposit boundaries has been included in the reporting of Ore Reserves with any sub-economic grade material being treated as internal dilutents. These Ore Reserves include an overall assumption of 2.5% mining dilution at nil grade for all grade categories along with an assumed 2.5% mining loss of ore tonnes when mined. Calculations rounded to the nearest 10,000 tonnes; 0.1% Cu grade, 0.1 g/t Au grade; 1,000 tonnes Cu metal and 1,000 ounces Au metal. Errors of rounding may occur. These Ore Reserves occur within an open pit design containing 26Mt of total material, resulting in a waste to ore strip ratio of 70:1.

Note 2: Underground mining recovery factor of 95% applied to diluted stoping blocks, with cut-off grade of 1.5% Cu and minimum stope size of 2,000t. Calculations rounded to the nearest 1,000t, 0.1%, 0.1g/t and 1,000 ounces; errors of rounding may occur; assumes commodity prices of US$7,673/t for copper and US$1,300/oz for gold with a USD/AUD exchange rate of $0.86; assumes 91% metallurgical recovery rate. Note: Refer to the Competent Person’s Statement – Ore Reserves at the end of this release.

Mr Speijers consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Competent Person’s Statement – Mineral Resources

• The information in this report that relates to the Indicated Resource of Supergene Chalcocite is based on information compiled by David Slater who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Slater is a permanent employee of Coffey Mining and 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 of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Slater consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Competent Person’s Statement – Ore Reserves

• The information in this report that relates to Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Shane McLeay of Entech Pty Ltd, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr McLeay 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 of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr McLeay consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Competent Person’s Statement – Open Pit Ore Reserves

• The information in this report that relates to Open Pit Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Quinton de Klerk of Cube Consulting, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr de Klerk has sufficient experience which is relevant to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr de Klerk consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Exploration and Resource Targets

• Any discussion in relation to the potential quantity and grade of Exploration Targets for the DeGrussa Project is only conceptual in nature. While Sandfire is confident that it will report additional JORC compliant resources for the DeGrussa Project, there has been insufficient exploration to define mineral resources in addition to the current JORC compliant resource inventory and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of additional JORC compliant Mineral Resources.
