Monty Doolgunna Copper-Gold Projects

The next chapter of copper-gold discoveries in a world-class VMS province

5

  • First regional discovery outside of Sandfire’s DeGrussa VMS copper-gold mine

  • Exceptionally high-grade, high-tenor massive sulphides in multiple intersections

  • Mineralisation intersected so far is in two connected zones – approximately 400m plunge extent, 320m strike extent

  • Upper Zone

  • Lower Zone including an ultra-high grade bornite sub-zone

  • Ongoing drilling continues to identify extensions and refine geological understanding

  • Resource definition drilling underway targeting maiden Mineral Resource by the end of Q1 2016

==> picture [429 x 445] intentionally omitted <==

SEPTEMBER 2015 Initial discovery hole and first phase of step out drilling

8

NOVEMBER 2015 Upper and Lower Zones with initial drilling into bornite sub-zone (TLDD0026)

9

JANUARY 2016 Assays of up to 52% copper expand bornite mineralisation with resource definition drilling well advanced

10

  • Interpreted bornite rich zone intersected in three drill holes so far (Jan 2016)

  • Interpreted as a sub-zone of the Monty Lower Zone mineralisation

  • Recent extensions up-dip

and along strike add significantly to potential of bornite zone

  • Contains both bornite and chalcopyrite sulphide mineral species

==> picture [698 x 447] intentionally omitted <==

11

  • Lower Zone is the primary mineralisation at Monty

  • Consistent high-grade and high-tenor copper mineralisation throughout

  • Copper occurs as predominantly chalcopyrite (high-grade mineralisation)

  • Mineralisation contained in multiple mineralised lenses

  • Further drilling undertaken in January 2016 – assays awaited

==> picture [629 x 460] intentionally omitted <==

12

  • Resource drilling focused on defining edge and continuity of mineralisation

  • Recent results continue to

substantiate initial interpretations of orientation, grade and extent of mineralised zone

  • Interpretation continuing to evolve with ongoing drilling

MAIDEN RESOURCE On track for Q1 2016

  • Maiden Monty Mineral Resource anticipated Q1 2016

  • Coverage of Talisman now initiated by multiple stockbrokers

13

  • Drilling to date has focused on main Lower Zone mineralisation

  • Upper Zone mineralisation may now connect to Lower Zone and remains open.

  • TLDD0023A - 7.4 metres grading 3.0% Cu and 0.8g/t Au from 232.5m downhole. Further drilling planned

  • Potential to extend Lower Zone with further

  • drilling

MONTY DEEPS Drilling planned Q1 2016

Monty Deeps

  • Very encouraging mineralised intercepts recorded at depth

  • TLDD0008 contained ~70m thick exhalite package with intense alteration

  • Potential vectors to new VMS lens at depth?

  • Monty Deeps drilling planned first quarter 2016

14

15

==> picture [646 x 437] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [921 x 294] intentionally omitted <==

  • Established VMS Model – lenses rarely occur in isolation

  • Significant unexplored potential outside of current known mineralised strike length of ~320m

  • Planned RC drilling in first quarter of 2016

The discovery opens up a highly prospective +5km VMS corridor at Monty

16

  • Doolgunna Projects (Springfield, Halloween and Halloween West) have potential to be part of a larger VMS camp

  • Considerable work remains to fully assess potential

  • Springfield hosts four prospective VMS corridors:

  • Monty

  • Homer

  • Central

  • Southern Volcanics

==> picture [575 x 389] intentionally omitted <==

17

• Significant exploration activities planned this quarter targeting new discoveries along 5km Monty corridor:

  • RC drilling to the north-east of Monty

  • RC drilling of geochemical anomalies at Monty South and Southern Volcanics

  • In-fill aircore drilling at Monty South

Exploration expanding across the Monty corridor

==> picture [575 x 389] intentionally omitted <==

18

  • A high priority VMS target corridor located ~4km along strike to the east of DeGrussa

  • Drilling to date by Sandfire has:

  • Confirmed the continuation of Sandfire’s C5 VMS stratigraphic package; and

  • TLDD0003 intersected what is interpreted to be C5 host horizon

  • Scout hole TLDD0068, located 3.4km ENE of TLDD0001, completed recently

  • A significant step out with targeted VMS horizon not well constrained

  • DHEM surveys planned

==> picture [575 x 389] intentionally omitted <==

19

  • Homer corridor contains a thick sequence of the same prospective stratigraphy that hosts Conductor 5

  • Very limited and wide-spaced drilling to date

  • Further drilling planned along Homer corridor between TLDD0003 and TLD0068 in the first quarter 2016

  • Potentially ~2.8km of untested host horizon between TLDD0003 & TLDD0068
