REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

VULCAN IOCGU PROJECT, South Australia (100% Tasman)

Introduction

Two further drill holes were completed at Tasman’s Vulcan IOCGU project, which is located approximately 30km north of Olympic Dam in South Australia (Figure 1). Tasman discovered Vulcan in November 2009 and drilled 8 holes prior to concluding a Farm-In and Joint Venture Agreement (“the Agreement”) with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) which commenced in 2012.

Tasman has recently completed the “Initial Exploration Program” under the Agreement by drilling a further 12,000m (9 holes) and providing an initial exploration report to RTX. RTX is required within 60 days ( i.e. by mid-March) to elect to either commit to the Stage 1 Farm-In, which consists of a further cash payment to Tasman and commit to a further exploration drilling program over three years, or withdraw from the Farm-In/JV.

Vulcan is a very large IOCGU system, where drilling to date has intersected a number of very thick intervals of alteration and low-grade mineralisation over a large target area (about 12km[2] ). Figure 2 shows the outline of the target area as defined by gravity surveys and the location of the 17 drill holes completed to date. For comparison, the area occupied by the Carrapateena deposit, located about 120km to the south-southeast is shown approximately at the same scale.

The surface projection of angled holes are shown as linear traces, with the basement intersection in each shown in white. Also shown at the same scale (as a superimposed white ellipse) is the area occupied by the Carrapateena IOCGU deposit (located approximately 120km to the south southeast). (Datum GDA 94; MGA Zone 53).

VUD 16 was aimed at testing a small portion of the very large but essentially untested gravity anomaly at the southern part of the Vulcan target. The drill hole intersected a variety of rock types, some strong hematite-sericite-carbonate alteration (see Figure 6) but relatively minor copper sulphide mineralization. A summary of assay results recently received is provided in Table 2.

VUD 17 was drilled on the far eastern limb of the currently defined Vulcan gravity anomaly, in part designed to follow up the very thick IOCGU style mineralization within hematite-rich breccias in the earlier drill hole VUD 7 located about 1.2km to the south west. (VUD 7 intersected 168m at 0.25% Cu).

VUD 17 intersected thick (over 150m down hole) of IOCGU style alteration and mineralization between 1,081m down hole and the end of the drill hole. The mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite (iron sulphide) and lesser chalcopyrite (copper iron sulphide) within hematite-rich breccias, and very similar to the style and strength to mineralization in VUD 7 (see Figures 7 and 8). A summary of assay results recently received is provided in Table 2.

Assay results from the two previous drill holes, VUD 14 and 15 were received:

VUD 14 This hole (Figure 2 and Table 1) was completed at 1488m, and intersected 573m of variably altered and weakly mineralised basement rocks, but failed to intersect the zone of interest or any significant mineralisation. Assay results have confirmed the lack of significant mineralisation in this drill hole.

VUD 15 was designed to test for high grade IOCGU mineralisation associated with the very large, northern part of the Vulcan target zone, following up mineralisation intersected in drill holes VUD 3 and VUD 8.

VUD 15 intersected the basement rocks of interest at 905m down hole, and then a very thick sequence of strongly IOCGU-style altered and variably mineralised basement rocks over more than 400m down hole, including several intersections of almost pure hematite breccias, including one over 200m thick down hole. Photos of some of the mineralised drill core are shown in Figures 3 to 5.

Most of this mineralisation occurs in a series of separate, weak- to moderate-strength intersections, and the highest are summarised in Table 1 below. The majority of the mineralisation occurs within the very thick sequence of IOCGU-style altered rocks and hematite dominated breccias (Figures 3 & 4).

The highest grade copper mineralisation however, is probably remobilised and occurs within the upper portion of a mafic dyke (Figure 5) which was intersected from 1310 to 1343m. Several one metre assays over 4% Cu are included in this interval. Note that the intersections stated are down hole widths only, and at this stage the true widths are not known.

Including 1190 28 0.43 0.13 3.3 0.15

Notes to Table 1:

Assays are for down hole intersections, and at this stage the true width of the mineralisation intersected is not known. Assay results are based on analysis of both one metre half core diamond saw split samples of NQ diamond drill core and chip samples of core composited over five metre intervals. (Further details are provided in JORC Table 1 below). Average assays for the intervals stated above were calculated by weighting by sample length and sample density.

Samples were crushed and pulverised, and analysed as follows: Au by fire assay using the Genalysis fire assay scheme FA25/MS with a 1 ppb detection limit. Cu was analysed using Genalysis scheme 4A/OE (1ppm detection limit), involving a multi acid digest with an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry finish. Ag and U3O8 were analysed using Genalysis scheme 4A/MS (0.05ppm and 0.01ppm respectively), involving a multi acid digest with an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry finish.

Further Work

Tasman has identified targets for further drilling in the northern part of Vulcan, and associated with both the north eastern “limb” of the Vulcan structure and the main southern part of Vulcan. Attention also needs to be given to evaluation of the very large more grassroots prospect between Vulcan and Titan.

Background to the Vulcan Project

==> picture [115 x 54] intentionally omitted <==

Tasman identified Vulcan as a prime IOCGU target in 2009, based on the presence of a very large gravity anomaly, supporting magnetic and seismic anomalies and Vulcan’s location close to key tectonic (structural) lineaments, which had previously been used in the original targeting of Olympic Dam by WMC in the mid-1970s. Tasman’s initial discovery drill hole, VUD 001, intersected the Vulcan IOCGU system late in 2009.

Eight diamond drill holes had been completed by Tasman at Vulcan between 2009 and early 2011. All exhibit IOCGUstyle alteration and/or mineralisation, including copper, gold, uranium, silver, molybdenum and rare earth elements. Age dating of the mineralisation at about 1,590 million years confirms that Vulcan belongs to the same “family” of deposits as Olympic Dam, Prominent Hill and Carrapateena.

Tasman entered a Farm In/ Joint Venture with Rio Tinto Exploration (RTX) covering the whole of EL 4322, including the Vulcan discovery. Under the Farm In, RTX has paid to Tasman $10 million and Tasman is accordingly managing an exploration programme consisting of 12,000m of drilling.

OTHER PROJECTS

Tasman has gold and base metal projects at Parkinson Dam and the Central Gawler Craton in South Australia (Figure 9). No activity occurred on these during the six months.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements are a general purpose financial report prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 , Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting, Australian Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Compliance with AASB 134: Interim Financial Reporting ensures compliance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Reporting.

It is recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial report for the year ended 30 June 2013 and any public announcements made by Tasman Resources Limited and its controlled entities during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001 and the ASX Listing Rules . The half-year report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report.

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the basis that the entity is a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity, realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business.

Accounting Policies

The accounting policies have been consistently applied by the entities in the consolidated group and are consistent with those in the June 2013 financial report except for the adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards.

The Group has adopted all of the new and revised Standards issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (the AASB) that are relevant to their operations and effective for the current half-year.

New and revised Standards and amendments thereof effective for the current half-year that are relevant to the Group include:

  • AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards

  • AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards

  • AASB 127 Separate Financial Statements (2011) and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards

  • AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures (2011) and AASB 2011-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the consolidation and Joint Arrangements standards

  • AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13

  • AASB 2012-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Disclosures – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The effects of applying these standards are described below.

AASB 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities

AASB 12 is a new disclosure standard and is applicable to entities that have interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and/or unconsolidated structured entities. In general, the application of AASB 12 will result in more extensive disclosures in the annual consolidated financial statements. However, this has not resulted in any changes to the interim financial report.

The Group does not expect the other new and revised Standards and amendments to have any material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report to the members of Tasman Resources Limited

Report on the Interim Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying interim financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and its controlled entities (the “Group”), which comprises the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended on that date, other selected explanatory notes and the directors’ declaration of the Group comprising the Company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the period.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Interim Financial Report

The directors of the Group are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including the Australian Accounting Interpretations, and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes: establishing and maintaining internal controls relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and its performance for the period ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Tasman Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of an interim financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence

In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

==> picture [591 x 135] intentionally omitted <==

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the interim financial report of Tasman Resources Limited and its controlled entities is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the Group’s financial position as at 31 December 2013 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

JORC TABLE 1 (Vulcan Project, EL 4322) JORC TABLE 1 (Vulcan Project, EL 4322) JORC TABLE 1 (Vulcan Project, EL 4322)
Section 1 Sampling techniques and data
(criteria in this group apply to all succeeding groups)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques.

Nature and quality of sampling (EG cut
channels, random chips or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down
hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments, etc). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where “industry standard” work has been done
this would be relatively simple (eg “reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30g charge for fire assay”). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.

All samples have been obtained from
NQ2 diamond drill core. See further
details below.

In general, core recovery at Vulcan is
100% or close to it, and normally
drilling will fill a six metre core barrel
with each run. Rare instances where
core loss is apparent are documented.
Each piece of drill core is washed and
carefully placed in plastic core trays
for geological logging.

Mineralisation at Vulcan is essentially
disseminated in nature, and half core,
NQ2 split samples, collected over one
metre intervals is believed to be
appropriate. The composite samples
prepared from small core chips are
clearly less representative, and as
mentioned, any significant
mineralisation returned for such
samples is confirmed by half core
splitting and re-assaying over one
metre intervals.
Drilling techniques.
Drill type (eg. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka
etc.) and details (eg. core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).

All drilling at Vulcan is conducted by
first pre-collaring holes with reverse
circulation drilling to approximately
150m, and completing the hole with a
combination of HQ and NQ2 diamond
drilling. All basement core is NQ2
size. Standard, 6m core barrels are
generally used, and core is oriented
using aReflex ACTtool.
Drill sample
recovery.

Whether core and chip sample recoveries have
been properly recorded and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.

Most diamond drilling at Vulcan
results in 100% core recovery or close
to it. In rare cases where there has
been some core loss, this is measured
and recorded by the geologist logging
the core. There has been no need to
use, for example, triple tubes to
enhance core recovery.

As sample recovery is or close to
100% no special measures have been
required.

As sample recovery is 100% or close
to it no investigation of a potential
relationship between grade and
sample recovery has been conducted.

Logging.
Whether core and chip samples have been
logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel etc.)
photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.

Logging is conducted in detail at the
drill site by the site geologist, who
routinely records lithology and rock
textures, alteration, mineralisation,
structures or any other relevant
features. A semi-quantitative
estimate of the strength of uranium
mineralisation is made with a hand
held scintillometer, and this is
recorded in the drill logs. Core is
logged both descriptively and with
digital codes. All basement drill core
is logged in detail; the overlying
sedimentary cover sequence is
logged in less detail. Each tray of
basement core is photographed, and
separate photos of specific geological
details are also collected. It is
considered to be logged at a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation and mining
studies.

Logging is qualitative in nature.

The entire interval of basement drill
core in each hole is logged.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation.

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary
split etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grainsize of the material being sampled.

Sawn, half core is taken for analysis.

No non-core samples are taken.

Where significant mineralisation is
believed to be present, core is halved
or split with a diamond saw; if
mineralisation is not homogeneously
distributed in sections of the core, the
geologist logging the core will have
marked up those sections to ensure
representivity between each half of
the core when it is split. One metre
long samples of half core are then
removed for analysis. If little, or no
significant mineralisation is present,
small pieces of core are cut out at
25cm intervals and composited over
several metres (often 5m intervals)
for assay. If assay reveals significant
mineralisation in these composite
samples, then re-assay on one metre
intervals following splitting is
conducted.
Mineralisation at Vulcan is essentially
disseminated in nature, and half core,
NQ2 split samples, collected over
one metre intervals is believed to be
appropriate. The composite samples
prepared from small core chips are
clearly less representative, and as
mentioned, any significant
mineralisation returned for such
samples is confirmed by half core
splitting and re-assaying over one
metre intervals. Field
duplicate/second-half sampling is not
considered appropriate.

Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests.

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometer, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(eg. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels
of accuracy (ie. lack of bias) and precision have
been established.

Samples were crushed and
pulverised, and analysed as follows:
Au by fire assay using the Genalysis
scheme FA25/MS with a 1 ppb
detection limit. Cu was analysed by
inductively coupled plasma mass
spectrography by Genalysis 4A/OE
scheme (1ppm detection limit), and Ag
and U3O8 by the Genalysis 4A/MS
scheme (0.05ppm and 0.01ppm
respectively). Density was determined
by gas pycnometer. These procedures
are considered appropriate for the
elements and style of mineralisation.
Analysis is considered total.

As noted above, a handheld
scintillometer is used to assess semi-
quantitatively the strength of any
uranium mineralisation, but these data
are not included in any database.

The laboratory uses a number of
internal quality control procedures in
place (eg. standards, blanks,
duplicates etc.) and Tasman includes
a quality control standard of its own
with each batch of samples. These
quality control data are assessed
continuously, and believed to be
adequate in achieving accuracy and
precision.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying.

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

Significant intersections are
determined by company personnel,
and checked internally.

No twinned holes have been drilled at
this stage nor are they practical
considering the depth to basement.

Individual sample numbers are
generated and matched with down
hole depths at a custom core
processing facility in Adelaide. Sample
numbers are then used to match
assays when received from the
laboratory. Verification of data is
managed and checked by company
personnel with extensive experience.
All data is stored electronically, with
industry standard systems and
backups.

Data is not subject to any
adjustments.

Location of data
points.

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Collar locations were determined by
hand held GPS and are accurate to
approximately +/- 5m (northing and
easting); GPS derived RLs are not
sufficiently accurate for use, and a
combination of values obtained during
gravity surveying and from Google
Earth are used. Down hole surveying
of drill holes is conducted using a
single shot down hole camera with
digital readout.

The grid system used is Geodetic
Datum of Australia 1994; MGA Zone
53.

Topographic control is not a significant
issue due to the generally flat
topography. Measurements of RL
from Google Earth are considered in
conjunction with more accurate data
obtained during gravity surveys over
the Vulcan area.
Data spacing and
distribution.

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drill holes are not spaced on a regular
grid due to topographical features on
the surface, Aboriginal heritage issues
and the early stage nature of the
prospect.

No continuity or correlation between
drill holes is implied at this stage.

Some sample compositing is used in
zones of non-significant mineralisation
(see sections above)
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure.

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation
and the orientation of key mineralised structures
is considered to have introduced a sampling bias,
this should be assessed and reported if material.

At this stage the relationship between
the orientation of geological structures
and the drill holes is not known.

This is discussed and addressed in
the body of the announcement or
report. It is likely that the thicknesses
of any intersections reported as down
hole thicknesses, are not the true
widths oftheintersections.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

All core is contained in core trays,
which are packed onto pallets at the
drill site by company personnel. The
core trays are covered, then tightly
secured with steel strapping prior to
transport initially to a local freight yard
and then trans-shipped to the
Adelaide custom core processing
facility. No tampering has occurred to
date.
Audits or reviews.
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.

No review or audits of sampling
techniques or data have been
conducted.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results(Vulcan Project, EL 4322)
(criteria listed in the preceding group apply also to this group)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status.

Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.

Exploration Licence No 4322, is
located approximately 13km north of
Olympic Dam, South Australia and
owned 100% by Tasman Resources
Ltd.
The EL is subject to a Farm-In/Joint
Venture Agreement between Tasman
Resources Ltd and Rio Tinto
Exploration. There are no partnerships
or royalties involved. The EL is
partially covered by the Kokatha
Uwankara native title claim
(SC2009/01), and agreements
between the claimants and Tasman
designed to protect Aboriginal
heritage sites. There are no historical
or wilderness sites or national parks or
known environmental settings that
affect the Vulcan prospect.

Tasman has secure tenure over the
EL at the time of reporting and there
are no known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the
area.
Exploration done by
other parties.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.

The first drill hole in the area was
drilled in 1981 by WMC Resources,
but was drilled off Tasman’s current
Vulcan target, and no mineralisation
was intersected. Tasman’s former
joint venture partner WCP Resources
Ltd conducted some ground gravity
surveying, data processing and
modelling, but conducted no further
work. No other exploration has been
conducted by other parties, apart from
regional geophysical surveys by
Government Departments. Tasman
discovered Vulcan prospect in
November 2009, with the drilling of
VUD 001.
Geology.
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

Vulcan is emerging as a major iron-
oxide, copper gold uranium type
system (IOCGU), with many
geological similarities to Olympic
Dam, about 30km south. Vulcan
occurs within basement rocks beneath
approximately 800m of younger, flat-
lying sedimentary cover rocks. Vulcan
has been dated at 1,586 +/- 8 million
years old, the same at Olympic Dam
(Proterozoic age).
Only a very limited number of drill
holes have been completed within a
very large target area, and there are
still many questions to be resolved,
such as host rocks, regional structural
setting etc.

Drill hole
information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:

Easting and northing of the drill hole collar

Elevation or RL (Reduced Level-elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drill hole
collar

Dip and azimuth of the hole

Down hole length and interception depth

Hole length

Refer to details in the body of the
report and Appendix.
Data aggregation
methods.

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually material
and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Average assays for the intervals
stated above were calculated by
weighting by sample length and
sample density. There has been no
cutting of high grades, unless
specifically noted. For individual
assays below the lower limit of
detection, a grade of half the detection
limit has been applied, although this is
rare.

Generally assays are relatively
consistent within averaged intervals. If
particularly high grade samples diluted
by lower grade samples were
returned, then this would be
highlighted specifically.

No metal equivalent values have been
calculated.
Relationship between
mineralisation
widths and intercept
lengths.

These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down-hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement to
this effect (eg. ‘downhole length, true width not
known’).

At the current stage of evaluation of
Vulcan, the orientation of
mineralisation is not known with any
certainty, and hence all statements
regarding drill hole intersections are
clarified with the comment that
intersections are “down hole”.
Diagrams.
Where possible, maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be included
for any material discovery being reported if such
diagrams significantly clarify the report.

Diagrams showing a plan view of drill
hole collar locations and any
appropriate sectional view are
included.
Balanced reporting.
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

It is impracticable to report all assay
results due to the multi-element
nature of the mineralisation and the
substantial thicknesses involved
(these can be hundreds of metres).
Accordingly, intervals for reporting
have been selected having regard for
the main elements of potential
economic significance in IOCGU
systems (copper, gold, uranium), at
levels and widths considered to
exhibit a high degree of anomalism,
potential to provide vectors to
economic mineralisation or represent
potentiallyeconomic material.

Other substantive
exploration data.

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples - size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.

Any other substantive exploration
data such as pertinent geological
observations, petrographic data,
geochronological data, geophysical
results are included where
appropriate.
Further work.
The nature and scale of planned further work
(eg. tests for lateral extensions or depth
extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of
possible extensions, including the main
geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive

The nature and timing of planned
further work is included in the report.
