Summary Hayes Creek

• Set the baseline - convert Iron Blow mineral resource estimate to JORC 2012 compliance

• Understand the resource – diamond drill testing & structural analysis

• Demonstrate economic extraction – metallurgical testing

• Identify additional resources in close proximity - test nearby VTEM targets, define JORC compliant mineral resource estimate at Mount Bonnie

Moline

• Drill test known prospects and defined targets, prioritising existing geochemical anomalies and geophysical targets in favourable lithological and structural settings

Burnside and Chessman exploration

• Re-interpret VTEM data to confirm and prioritise targets

• Ground follow up with geochemical based fieldwork, mapping and RC drilling

Key Terms of the agreement with Crocodile Gold Australia Pty Ltd (CGA)

• 15 Mining Leases (Sale Tenements) to be acquired including those that contain the Iron Blow and Mount Bonnie deposits in exchange for a 2% royalty over the market value of gold and silver contained in concentrate production from the Sale Tenements.

• CGA has the right to clawback a 30% interest within 6 months of the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study by paying PNX three times its accumulated expenditure on these tenements.

• Earn-in and JV over 21 exploration licences and 4 mining leases covering 1,700 square kilometres over three main project areas (Farm-in Tenements).

• PNX can earn a 51% interest (excluding uranium) with the expenditure of $2 million over 2 years (which can include up to $0.5 million spent on the Sale Tenements).

• PNX can elect to increase the earned interest to 90% by spending an additional $2 million within a further 2 years (which can include up to a further $0.5 million spent on the Sale Tenements).

• CGA can acquire 90% of any 2012 JORC compliant gold and silver deposit (or a deposit where 80% or more of the in situ value is comprised of the value of gold and silver) by paying PNX three times its accumulated expenditure relating to that deposit within 6 months of the initial resource estimate being announced to the ASX.

• PNX can withdraw before spending the initial $2 million and would forfeit any right to the tenements.

• Further consideration of $500,000 (in cash or PNX shares) is payable upon completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study on any base metals deposit within the Farm-in tenements or Sale Tenements.

• The agreement remains subject to Conditions Precedent requiring the parties to enter into certain deeds of assignment and assumption with relevant third parties in relation to existing agreements affecting the tenements to be acquired or farmed into. The conditions precedent must be satisfied or (if capable of being waived) waived on or before 15th November 2014. 17
