The
Directors
of
Southern
Crown
Resources
Limited ("Southern
Crown" or “the Company”) are
pleased
to
report
the
signing
of
an
exclusive
option
agreement (“Option”)
to
explore
and
acquire
a
package
of
projects
with
highly
prospective multi
metallic
targets
located
500km
west
of
Anchorage
in
the
South
West Tintina
gold
belt
of
Alaska.
The
Option
includes
3
projects
(Luna-‐Quicksilver,
Kisa
and
Chilly),
totaling 138km[2] .
The
Tintina
Gold
belt
is
home
to
a
number
of
world
class
intrusion related
gold
(“IRG”)
systems
including
Donlin
Creek
(45Moz@
2.21g/t),
Pogo (5Moz
@
12.45g/t),
Fort
Knox
(produced
over
5Moz),
Livengood
(20Moz
@ 0.55g/t)
and
Shotgun
(0.7Moz
@1.02g/t).
Southern
Crown’s
Chairman,
Rhod
Grivas
commented: “ Luna-‐Quicksilver represents
an
exciting
untested
IRG
system
that
has
all
the
hallmarks
of
a world
class
system
such
as
Donlin
Creek.
This
opportunity
provides
a
near-‐ ready
drill
target
and
a
deal
structure
that
minimizes
dilution
of
existing shareholders
and
shares
exploration
risk
with
the
project
vendor.
Two
mineralised
stockwork
outcrops
1.2km
apart
in
a
system
that
is
over 700m
wide
and
striking
over
5km
is
an
attractive
target
in
this
belt” .

**TINTINA
GOLD
BELT
INTRUSION
RELATED
GOLD
SYSTEMS**
Luna–Quicksilver
and
the
other
optioned
projects
share
many
of
the
characteristics
of
Donlin
Creek
and
the
local IRG
system
deposits
located
in
the
Tintina
gold
belt.
Some
IRG
system
ore
bodies
are
associated
with
placer deposits
proximal
to
young
intrusions
emplaced
in
sediments.
Luna-‐Quicksilver
is
located
within
10
kilometres
of two
historical
placers,
one
on
a
drainage
system
draining
west,
the
other
draining
north.
Luna-‐Quicksilver
is
also associated
with
a
pluton
and
associated
felsic
dykes
and
sills
that
have
hornfelsed
and
altered
surrounding sediments.
Structural
setting
is
important
for
the
development
of
IRG
system
deposits.
Luna-‐Quicksilver
and
the
other optioned
projects
are
located
along
a
NE
structural
corridor
with
apparent
strike
slip
movement
and
evidence
of additional
cross-‐cutting
complexity.
In
addition
IRG
system
mineralization
is
poly-‐metallic
and
varied
depending
on proximity
to
the
intrusion,
the
Luna-‐Quicksilver
veins
are
located
in
quartz-‐carbonate
stockworks
with
anomalous gold,
silver,
antimony,
bismuth,
arsenic,
molybdenum,
tellurium
and
tin
with
Luna
East
also
highly
anomalous
in copper.

**LUNA-‐QUICKSILVER
PROJECT**
The
Luna-‐Quicksilver
project
has
undergone
sporadic
exploration
since
2006
with
no
previous
drilling,
hamstrung by
limited
budgets
and
lack
of
focus.
Several
phases
of
geological
mapping,
surface
geochemistry
and
geophysics have
highlighted
mineralization
over
5km
of
strike
in
a
much
larger
40km
mineralised
structure.
A
shear
zone
with over
700m
of
width
has
been
mapped
along
the
river
beds
underneath
alluvial
cover,
representing
the
potential
for a
big
target
system
close
to
the
surface.

located
up
to 500m
vertical
above
the
valley
floor
The
Luna-‐Quicksilver
project
consists
of
the
50
Luna
claims,
owned
by
Kisa
Inc,
the
70
Quicksilver
claims
owned
by Black
Peak
LLC
and
13
North
Quicksilver
claims
owned
by
North
Fork
LLC,
totaling
an
area
of
86km[2] .
The
Luna claims
were
first
staked
in
mid-‐2007
after
a
regional
scale
geophysics
survey
highlighted
an
anomaly
associated with
a
regional
scale
structure.
Systematic
stream
sediment
sampling,
rock
chip
sampling
and
geological
mapping led
to
the
discovery
of
the
Luna
outcrop.
At
approximately
the
same
time
the
Quicksilver
area
was
staked
following a
similar
geochemical
and
geological
mapping
approach
led
to
the
discovery
of
mineralization
located
on
the
ranges above
the
valley.
A
total
of
41
stream
silt
samples
collected
by
Kisa
Inc
in
2007,
from
streams
draining
the
Luna
prospect
area
outline a
distinct
25km[2] gold,
arsenic,
and
antimony
anomaly.
Silt
samples
returned
values
up
to
1052
ppb
gold;
this maximum
assay
comes
from
a
sample
located
in
the
creek
below
the
main
Luna
outcrop.
In
excess
of
100
rock
chip
samples
have
been
collected
from
the
Luna
prospect
area
with
many
containing anomalous
gold,
with
values
as
high
as
64.7g/t
Au
reported.
Gold
is
associated
with
anomalous
arsenic
(above
1% As),
antimony
(up
to
187
ppm
Sn),
bismuth
(up
to
36
ppm
Bi),
molybdenum
(up
to
64
ppm
Mo),
silver
(up
to
74 ppm
Ag)
and
copper
(up
to
1.2%
Cu).

At
the
Quicksilver
prospect,
in
excess
of
150
rock
chips
have
been
collected,
with
a
maximum
of
36.1g/t
Au,
56.2g/t Ag,
555ppm
Bi,
717ppm
Sb,
17.9ppm
Te,
215ppm
Mo.
Southern
Crown
conducted
a
due
diligence
rock
chip
and
channel
sampling
program
over
the
Luna
and
Luna
East outcrops.
Rock
chip
sampling
confirmed
the
anomalous
nature
of
both
outcrops
with
a
maximum
of
2.9g/t
Au, 10.6g/t
Ag
from
Luna
(plus
anomalous
As,
Sn,
Bi,
Mo,Te).
Interestingly,
at
Luna
East
all
veins
sampled
returned highly
anomalous
copper
with
all
above
0.25%
Cu
and
with
a
maximum
of
0.57%
Cu,
with
up
to
32.5g/t
Ag
and 0.19g/t
Au.
Channel
sampling
at
Luna
and
Luna
East
located
a
mixture
of
altered
sediments
and
dyke
and
sill
intrusions
with stockwork
quartz-‐carbonate
veins.
Blebs
of
iron
oxide
after
sulphides
as
well
as
arsenopyrite
in
veins
were
evident. The
Luna
channel
highlighted
a
110ft
(35m)
wide
zone
of
anomalous
gold
(+0.1ppm
Au),
silver
(+0.08ppm
Ag), arsenic
(+100ppm
As),
antimony
(+3ppm
Sb)
and
tin
(+4ppm).
The
Luna
East
channel
highlighted
a
40ft
(12m)
wide zone
of
anomalous
gold
(+0.06ppm
Au),
silver
(+0.80ppm
Ag),
arsenic
(+400ppm
As),
antimony
(+2.5ppm
Sb),
tin (+4ppm
Sn)
and
tungsten
(+4ppm
W).

Projects)**
Two
other
projects
are
included
in
the
Option,
these
include
the
Kisa
and
Chilly
projects
(Figure

The
Kisa
project
comprising
38
claims
(23.6km[2] )
and
located
14km
SE
of
Luna-‐Quicksilver
was
discovered
as
a colour
anomaly
that
is
visible
from
air-‐photography
as
a
‘rusty’

Chilly
comprises
44
claims
(28.5km[2] )
and
is
located
50km
SW
of
the
village
of
Sleetmute.
The
claims
were
pegged
as anomalous
streams
draining
from
a
granodiorite
intrusion
adjacent
to
a
bounding
regional
Tintina
fault.
First
pass exploration
was
conducted
in
2008
including
geological
mapping
and
ridge
and
spur
soil
sampling
where
possible. Soil
sampling
identified
a
500m
long
gold
anomaly
(>100ppb
Au)
with
a
larger
coincident
arsenic
anomaly (>250ppm
As).
**2014
EXPLORATION**
In
order
to
make
the
most
of
the
current
field
season,
Southern
Crown
commenced
exploration
this
month
prior
to signing
the
Option,
with
a
ground
magnetic
survey
on
100m
line
spacing
over
3.75km
strike
of
the
Luna
and
Luna East
shear
zone.
In
addition,
channel
sampling
has
commenced
along
the
river
banks
below
the
overburden.
The
channel
sampling involves
digging
away
up
to
0.5m
of
contaminated
soil
and
rock
cover
to
expose
underlying
saprolite
and
bedrock. Work
done
during
the
due
diligence
has
indicated
that
this
is
an
effective
way
of
channel
sampling
and
geological mapping
of
the
saprolite/bedrock,
similar
to
what
would
be
achieved
by
trenching
several
metres
through
the overburden.
Later
in
the
season
the
Company
is
planning
a
bedrock
scout
drilling
program
to
expand
on
the
knowledge
of
the Luna
and
Luna
East
outcrop
as
well
as
the
channel
sampling
and
provide
a
drill
ready
target
for
the
next
field season.
It
is
expected
the
exploration
program
will
cost
in
the
order
of
A$500,000,
including
rents,
minimum
commitments on
tenure,
ground
magnetics
at
Luna,
heli-‐magnetics
at
Chilly,
channel
sampling,
remote
exploration
at
Chilly
and Kisa
and
bedrock
drilling
at
Luna-‐Quicksilver.

Sampling
Techniques
and
Data**
| Criteria | Explanation | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 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 30 g 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. |
•Details of surface sampling techniques used by previous explorers have not been sighted however the Competent Person is of the opinion the sampling was done to industry standard for gold exploration. •Sampling completed by the Company was rock chip and channel sampling to industry standard, to ensure representative samples with minimal contamination • Sample weights vary but are nominally 1-3kg |
| 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). |
•Kisa Inc drilled HQ core at the Kisa project with a helicopter supported core rig. Core loss was measured with an average of 73% recovery. |
| 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/gain of fine/coarse material. |
•Details have not been provided on methods of recording core samples however core loss in the mineralized intervals was recorded. |
| 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. |
•Details of Kisa Inc logging procedures were not sighted by the Competent Person. |
| 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. |
•Historical core holes at Kisa were sampled on a nominal 5ft interval but varied from 3ft to 20ft •No details were provided on sub sampling technique although half core remains in a local warehouse and standard half-core sampling techniques are likely to have been used. •ACA Howe on behalf of Afranex collected 26 check samples of the remaining half core for |

| •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. |
verification purposes. Results were in line with the original analysis for gold. |
|
| 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, spectrometers, 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. |
•Southern Crown and Afranex samples were submitted to ALS Global laboratory in Fairbank. •Sample preparation includes weighing, crushing so 70% passed -2mm then oversize samples were riffle split to 1kg samples and pulverised so 85% passed 75 micron. •Samples were analysed by 50g fire assay with AA finish •No QA-QC was separately conducted on the laboratory QC samples. |
| 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. |
•Afranex engaged ACA Howe to collected 26 check samples of the remaining Kisa half core for verification. •In addition, both ACA Howe, Afranex and/or Southern Crown have collected rockchip samples of Luna, Luna East and Quicksilver to verify rock chip results |
| 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. |
•Kisa collars locations were recorded using a resource grade Trimble GPS in NAD83 tied to a LIDAR derived 2m topographic base map •Rock chip and stream samples were located using a handheld GPS giving approx. 5m accuracy |
| 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 hole spacing varied for the Kisa breccia target but was appropriate for first pass drilling. |
| 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. |
•Kisa drilling intersected wide low grade mineralization within a large breccia pipe. |
| Sample security | •The measures taken to ensure sample security. | •Samples collected by Southern Crown were carried by company personnel and consultants and when freighted were tracked. |
| Audits or reviews |
•The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
•No audits were conducted, which is appropriate for the stage. |

Reporting
of
Exploration
Results
| Criteria | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
•Afranex employs a permit manager who ensured the tenure documentation is up to date. The claims can be viewed on the Alaska department of Natural Resources website. ACA Howe completed an independent review during April 2013, no independent review has been completed since. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
•Afranex engaged ACA Howe to write a 43-101 standard report on the projects. It details all exploration by other companies. A database and reports has also been provided by previous explorers. |
| Geology | •The mineralisation is located in a major NE regional shear zone associated with the bounding faults of the Tintina gold belt. Intrusions into the regional belt have hornfels and altered surrounding sedimentary country rock. Mineralisation has been emplaced in and around the intrusions suggesting the Luna-Quicksilver prospects have the potential to be IRG systems.. |
| Drill hole Information |
•No drilling has been conducted by Southern Crown or Afranex. Historical drillhole information does not relate to Luna-Quicksilver. |
| Data aggregation methods |
•No data aggregation methods have been used. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
•No drilling has been conducted by Southern Crown or Afranex. Historical drillhole information that relates to Kisa represents wide low grade mineralization contained within a breccia pipe. |
| Diagrams | •Diagrams provided show location of projects, location of rockchips results. |
| Balanced reporting |
•Exploration is at an early stage and surface geochemistry and geophysics has been collected over all prospects over a 7 year period. A table of significant results has been provided indicating mineralized outcrops exit within barren country rock. Further bedrock geochemistry is required to determine the potential for any economic mineralisation. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
•None to report. |
| Further work | •Company is conducting the next stage of exploration which includes ground geophysics and bedrock geochemistry to better locate follow-up targets. |
