MT FLORA DIAMOND DRILLING (OCTOBER 2019)


▪ Aim of drilling to provide a continuous sample of the geology and geochemistry of as many of the mappedhistoric veins as possible and the bounding granite contact at depth (550m drilled).

▪ Copper, silver and molybdenum mineralisation was intersected in all the holes and all historic veinsintersected.

▪ Five new veins also intersected between the historic veins.▪ Veins comprise massive chalcopyrite veins and breccia in highly altered host hornfelsed siltstone.▪ Veins appear to pinch and swell along dip and strike but the structures that host the copper, silver and

molybdenum in the Mt Flora mine area have good continuity and are predictable.▪ PXRF data from the core drilled to date confirms the presence of high-grade copper (27% Cu). High grade

silver and molybdenum were also intersected.▪ Sulphide veins with anomalous PXRF Cu values were intersected in shear zones in the tonalite that may

provide new targets not tested by exploration to date.

KEY OUTCOME:

▪ Results confirm historic results, which provides more confidence in the use of historic data in explorationplanning and economic modelling.

MT FLORA DOWN HOLE DATA


▪ Down hole data surveys have been completed for all holes usingdensity, magnetic, resistivity, sonar and optical tools. All datacollected are good quality.

▪ The data will assess the geometry and orientation of the copper veins.▪ The copper and silver mineralisation has a strong statistical correlation

with chargeability therefore the potential to be directly detected usingground IP geophysical surveying.

▪ The physical rock properties are being used help plan a trialgeophysical survey to test the direct detection of the location andgeometry of the massive sulphide veins.

▪ If proved correct then we will have a quick and cost effectivetechnique that will allow us to map the extent, particularly at depth,and distribution of the sulphide mineralisation at Mt Flora, which willsave costly scout and resource drilling.

MT FLORA PROCESSING REVIEW – CORE METALLURGY PTY LTD


▪ Desktop study completed, using recent drill data and flotation test work results to perform an order-ofmagnitude assessment of processing and operating options for a mine.

▪ Cost estimates have an expected accuracy range of 25% to 45%.▪ All mining will be open-pit, throughput rate will be 500,000 tpa of sulphide ore, concentrate grades for

copper of 24% and silver of 398 g/t Ag, concentrate delivered to Mt Isa by road transport.▪ Study considered twelve processing options with the Base Case capital cost estimate for the

processing plant estimated at approximately A$56.3 million.▪ The operating cost for the Base Case plant or a second-hand plant is A$31-34 per tonne.

KEY OUTCOME:

▪ The study gives confidence to start planning a development programme.▪ The programme will include 3D IP to map the massive sulphide veins along strike and down dip from

the underground mines and drill holes drilled to date and provide a constraint on the eventual size ofthe resource at Mt Flora.

▪ These data will then be used to plan a pattern resource drilling programme, with the aim of estimatinga resource that can be used to complete a pre-feasibility study on a mine.
