HIGHLIGHTS

• Drilling contract negotiations finalised with Geofor Gabon SA (Groupe Fugro)

• Drilling anticipated to commence before mid - June

• Approximately 2,000m of diamond drilling to be completed at several open pit targets at the highly prospective Kroussou zinc-lead project

• Detailed targeting continues with ground preparation currently underway on site

• Historic drilling very shallow with very few assays undertaken

• Overall 17m average maximum depth in historic drillholes with only approximately 6% of metres drilled ever assayed

Trek is very pleased to announce that final negotiations with our preferred drilling contractor in Gabon, Geofor Gabon SA (Groupe Fugro), have been finalised with drilling set to commence in June.

Approximately 2,000m of diamond drilling will be undertaken at several highly prospective targets within the Kroussou Project area. TKM is aiming to present an open pit exploration target to the market at the completion of this drilling programme.

Trek's Managing Director Bradley Drabsch commented that “ The anticipation is building amongst the crew with everyone excited about the impending commencement of our maiden exploration drilling programme at Kroussou. The Geofor team did a great job for us last year during our confirmation drilling programme and we look forward to their presence this time around as we seek to expand on what we already know about the project.”

Historic Drilling – Very Limited Depth – Very Limited Assaying

Figure 2, below, provides a graphic illustration of the paucity of drilling completed historically that tested any of the identified mineralisation within the Dikaki channel to a depth that makes modern open-pit mining a viable prospect. The BRGM (Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières ) who were exploring in the region during the early 1960’s and the late 1970’s, were solely focussed on the delineation of lead deposits within the top 20m of surface and gave little attention to the zinc potential, nor the depth potential of the numerous significant zones of mineralisation that were discovered. In many cases the down-dip potential of the mineralisation encountered at or near surface, was not investigated or was not intersected due to the shallowness of the drilling.

Some key facts about the historic drilling include:

• Approximately 7,500m drilled in total historically

• Only approximately 6% of all metres drilled have been assayed

• Overall average maximum drillhole depth is about 17m

• Just 25 holes drilled deeper than 40m

• Zero holes drilled deeper than 40m after 1963

TKM looks forward to building on the historic work and demonstrating the true potential of the Kroussou Project.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

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 1 m 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.	Trek Drilling •Drill core has been cut in half using a coresaw. •No assaying has been undertaken as yet and none has been discussed in this document. Historic Drilling •Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not possible to comment on the quality of the sampling used to produce the results described. It is known from the historic reports that the drillcore was sawn. •Results were obtained from historic reports produced by the Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM, French Geological Survey) during the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. Rock Samples •Samples collected at surface using a geological hammer where necessary
Drilling techniques	• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, 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).	Trek Drilling •Drilling is either HQ diamond or NQ diamond. Historic Drilling •Drilling was completed using a Winkie style diamond drill rig producing drill core of approximately 25mm diameter.
Drill sample recovery	• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries 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/gainof fine/coarse material.	Trek Drilling •Core recoveries are measured using industry standard methods for each metre of core drilled. •The use of HQ diamond core ensures the best recovery under the conditions experienced in the project area. •No relationship between recovery and grade has been established.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
		Historic Drilling •Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not possible to comment on the recoveries achieved at the time.
Logging	• Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically 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.	Trek Drilling •Field logging to industry standard has been conducted on the drill core in its full condition. The core will be re-logged once cut. All observations are handwritten before being digitised into the company database. This method will allow the logging to support Mineral Resource Estimations if/when required. •Geological observations such as lithology, alteration, mineralisation etc are qualitative whereas recovery, RQD etc are quantitative. •100% of the drill core has been fully logged. Historic Drilling •All drill core was logged in detail, however, due to the age of the drilling and the inability to check-log the core due to its destruction, these logs can be used as a guide only and will not be suitable for use in a Mineral Resource estimation. •Qualitative: Lithology, alteration, mineralisation etc. •All holes for their entire length appear to have been 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, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	Trek Drilling •The drill core has been cut in half using a standard petrol-powered core saw. •Sampling half core is industry standard. •Core has been cut to ensure that both sides approximate one another to ensure representivity of each length. •The sample size collected is appropriate for this stage of exploration. Historic Drilling •Due to the historic nature of the drilling results reported herein, it is not possible to comment on the method of sampling, sampling techniques and sample preparation methodology. •It is known that the core was sawn prior to assay.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

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.	•BAT acquired the Kroussou Project in Gabon from Select Exploration Limited (ASX:SLT) in March 2014. BAT has 100% equity in these projects. Havilah Consolidated Resources (HCR) holds a 0.75% NSR. This royalty may be bought back from HCR by MTA for US$250,000 •The Kroussou tenure is an Exploration License (G4-569) renewable each year for a further 3-year period beginning the 02ndof July 2015 and a Prospecting Licence (G4-588) which is convertible to an Exploration Licence should TKM elect to convert after 03rdMarch 2018. •The Company is not aware of any impediments relating to the licenses or area.
Exploration done by other parties	• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	•Intermittent historical exploration as conducted by French Bureau de Recherches Géologiques et Minières (BRGM) at Kroussou from 1962 - 1963, the project was then later re-examined in 1979-1981 by the BRGM in joint venture with Comilog which is a Gabonese government owned mining company. •BRGM discovered the Kroussou Pb-Zn-(Ag) mineral occurrences as well as others along various river systems on the Kroussou license. •BRGM conducted drilling on the project in 1962, 1977-1980. •BAT has obtained historical reports and drill logs relating to BRGM’s field program.
Geology	• Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	•The deposit style reported in BRGM historical files is Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) sedimentary mineralisation of Pb-Zn-(Ag) where mineralisation is similar to the Laisville (Sweden) style with deposition within siliciclastic horizons in a reducing environment. •On a regional scale, the Pb-Zn mineral concentrations are distributed at the edge of the continental shelf which was being eroded during Lower Cretaceous time. •Mineralisation is located within the Gamba Formation part of the N’Zeme Asso Series and was deposited during the Cretaceous as part of the Cocobeach Complex deposited during formation of the Cotier Basin. •Mineralisation is hosted by conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones deposited in laguno-deltaic reducing conditions at the boundary of the Cotier Basinonlapping continentalbasementrocks.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
		•Large scale regional structures are believed to have influenced mineralisation deposition. •BAT’s field reconnaissance identified mineralisation within coarse-grained arkosic sandstone and conglomerate and observedlocalsilicification.
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: o easting and northing of the drill hole collar o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o down hole length and interception depth o hole length.	•See table 1 within the document.
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. _	Trek Drilling •Intervals reported using a minimum assay of 0.2% Zn eq and a maximum of 2m internal dilution except as indicated for hole DKDD005 (see table 1 in the document) •Zn eq calculated as follows: Pb + (0.84 x Zn) (Assuming a Zn price of US$2,600/tonne, Pb price of US$2,200/tonne)
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	• 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 ‘down hole length, true width not known’).	Trek Drilling and Historic Drilling •Mineralisation is understood to be within shallowly dipping horizons and therefore vertical drillholes should intersect zones at approximately right angles and approximate true widths.
Diagrams	• Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of _drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. _	•Refer to figures and tables in report.
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. _	•See table 1 within the document.
