  • Estimates are rounded to reflect the level of confidence in these resources at the present time. All resources have been rounded to the nearest million tonnes.

  • The Mineral Resource is reported as a global resource

See slide 2 for the full Competent Person statement.

  • Mt Flora RC Maiden Resource and Northern Extension

  • Preliminary maiden Inferred Resource estimation for Mt Flora completed for 16Mt @0.5%Cu, 0.2% c/off for 78,000T Cu and .

  • 3.5M oz Ag

 A total of 109 holes have been drilled in Phases 1 and 2 resource drilling, for 20,101m

 All assay results announced.

  • Fifteen lines completed over mineralised area, covering a strike of 950m, a width of 900m and to a vertical depth of 300m.

  • 439 (>0.2% Cu) intersections of copper , silver and gold mineralisation with 62 not used in the maiden resource estimate.

  • Mineral Resource at Mt Flora to be infilled 300 m to the north based on recent exploration drilling and remains open.

  • Mineralisation continues to be , predictable and consistent

  • providing confidence for future resource estimations.

  • The silver grades intersected in the new assay results continue to be economically attractive.

Bundarra Strategy Review - Aug/Sept 2021

  • The purpose of the review was to ensure an optimal exploration and resource development strategy that is reflective of the evolving positive exploration results

  • A recent successful capital raise.

  • Improvements to the Bundarra pluton specific exploration techniques that are rapid, cost effective and successful. Soil Geochemistry and electrical conductivity as well as major advances in other targeting techniques as examples.

  • Mt Flora Maiden Resource Estimate completed in June

  • Large, and increasing number of high priority exploration targets within the Bundarra project.

  • Extensive and detailed Bundarra specific geological models, understanding and exploration targeting techniques from the pluton-scale exploration to date.

Bundarra Project Area

Shallow, Large and Growing Copper System in an Exceptional Location

==> picture [1468 x 1003] intentionally omitted <==

  • 47 copper silver and gold prospects with historic underground and surface mining. This will always be correct as it is number of records in the government database.

  • Numerous high priority targets identified .

  • with more being added as targeting evolves Well located in the heart of the QLD coalfields bringing future significant capital advantages Rapid organic growth potential through discovery on top of immediate resource development opportunities.

  • Bundarra Project Regional Soil GeoChem Anomalism - Progress

==> picture [1111 x 786] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [1110 x 786] intentionally omitted <==

  • Soils area surveyed as at mid-July

  • Soils area surveyed as at mid-September

  • 5400 samples taken

  • 12,136 samples taken

  • 20% coverage - 32km[2] of total of 160km[2]

  • 46% coverage - 74km[2] of total of 160km[2]

    • Bundarra Project regional VTEM anomalies and Inversion Modelling
  • Pluton-scale VTEM survey conducted in 2011

  • VTEM data from 2011 was remodelled. 40 late time

  • conductors mapped similar to conductors over massive sulphide veins at Mt Flora.

  • There are 16 mapped VTEM anomalies close to known historic prospects and 24 new VTEM targets with the Quorn and Rogers prospects mapped as .

  • high priority targets

  • Trialling new VTEM inversion techniques that will accelerate data acquisition for 3D pluton scale prospectivity modelling

  • Bundarra Revised Plan September 2021 onwards

  • The above circumstances provide the opportunity to take an accelerated approach to the ongoing broader, pluton scale exploration program, and generate optionality whereby

  • The soil sampling program has been broadened and accelerated to cover the whole of the Bundarra project, including the Waitara and Duania tenements. (Q3 and Q4, 2021).

  • Newly available inversion modelling technology that can potentially provide a new pluton-wide analysis of previously flown aerial VTEM survey data. This is a new technique which is rapid and cost effective, to be utilised to reliably identify anomalous prospective areas. (Q3 and Q4, 2021).

  • Development targets will be generated using the new profile targeting techniques from across the whole of the Bundarra pluton. These targets will be prioritised using 3D machine learning mineral potential modelling techniques, with the drill targets to be tested by scout exploration diamond and RC drilling (Q4, 2021).

  • Resource drilling programs will be undertaken once the best targets have been identified and prioritised (Q1 2022).

  • Bundarra Project Growth Plan – Ongoing, Resource and Scale Development

==> picture [1401 x 991] intentionally omitted <==

The next stage of exploration to help prioritise areas for resource drilling from the new pXRF and VTEM Inversion model targets will include:

Drill diamond core into selected targets to collect geological data to confirm the interpreted geometry of any bed rock mineralisation and understand the geology, geochemistry, the petrophysics and geometry of any mineralisation intersected. Use these data to plan preliminary RC scout drilling to assess the endowment potential for each target. Start resource development drilling on the best target based on length and depth of continuity of mineralisation and preliminary metal endowment from resource drilling.
