Under-Explored Gold Region
“Greenstones of Yamarna Terrane are similar in age and character to
the Kalgoorlie Terrane”Geological Survey of Western Australia, Oct 2010
Underlines Yamarna as a new gold region with potential for multi-million ounces of gold
Kalgoorlie Belt has produced more than 120M oz of gold
Yamarna is the fourth gold-rich shear gzone on the world-class Yilgarn Craton

The information in this presentation which relates to Exploration Results or Mineral Resources is based on information compiled byZiggy Lubieniecki, an Executive Director of Gold Road Resources Limited, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Miningand Metallurgy. Mr Lubieniecki has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit underconsideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of theconsideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the“Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Lubieniecki consents to theinclusion in the presentation of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
The information in this report which relates to the Gold Mineral Resource estimates are based on geostatistical modeling byRavensgate using sample information and geological interpretation supplied by Gold Road. The Mineral Resource estimates wereundertaken by Don Maclean, a Principal Consultant. Mr Maclean is the competent person responsible for the Resource and aMember of the Australasian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type ofdeposit under consideration and to the activity which he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.” Mr Maclean consentsto the inclusion in this report of the matters based on this information in the form and context in which it appears.
