Kirkalocka Gold Project JORC Mineral Resource Estimate

The Company has released another upgrade to its Curara Well Mineral Resource Esti-mate as follows:

Category Tonnes (Mt) Grade (g/t au) Gold (ounces)

Indicated 8.0 1.2 305,000

Inferred 3.2 1.0 108,000

TOTAL 11.2 1.1 413,000

Following the generation of 3,907 metres in additional exploration data from 24 reverse circulation (RC) holes, the Company engaged Snowdens Mining Industry Consultants to estimate the resource. The total dataset comprises 176,032 metres of RC, air core and diamond drilling.

The mineral resource has been reported above cut-off grades of 0.3 grams per tonne gold for the laterite mineralisation, and 0.5 grams per tonne gold for the oxide and fresh mineralisation. The mineral resource is constrained within an optimisation shell that ex-tends to 290m below the surface, with cut-off grades based upon economic factors de-termined from the application of open pit mining methods and historical gold recoveries from the Kirkalocka treatment plant.

Feasibil ity Study Program The feasibility study program commenced in February 2011 is targeting a November 2011

completion.

Exploration Activity Staged Drilling Program

The Company has planned a 3 stage drilling program to the areas north and south of the Curara Well open pit, with the purpose of in-filling areas of known mineralisation in order to bring them into the current resource model, increase the confidence in the mineralisa-tion already in the resource model, and to thirdly extend the mineralisation to depth and along strike. Refer Figure 1 below.

Figure 1: The Company has planned a 3 Stage Dri l l ing Program to the mineralised areas north and south of the Curara Well open pit

Three diamond holes from Stage 1 drilling are yet to be assayed, pending the completion of geotechnical and metallurgical testwork on the core, which is currently in progress and nearing completion.

Stage 2 of the drilling program (Figure 2), focussed on targets south of the Curara Well open pit, commenced in July 2011 and was completed during the quarter. The program comprised 27 RC holes to depths ranging between 100m and 180m, for a total of 4,001m drilled.

Significant intersections reported to date are contained in Table 1 below, with Figure 3 showing intersections across the previously unidentified high-grade cross cutting ‘NE1’

structure. The NE1 structure remains open at depth and along strike, with the thickest in-tersection to date occurring in the southern most section. Results are pending for +1,300 samples still being assayed.
