Resource ModellingResource ModellingH&S Hellman & Schofield Pty LtdIndependent review by Hellman & Schofield to produce Inferred Resource:
• 2,913 x 5m DTR composites from drilling
• 280 estimated from magsus using Conditional Expectation statistical technique
• Total of 3,193 x 5m composites used for resource estimation
• Due to curved nature of deposit 4 sub-domains modelled
• Unconstrained Ordinary Kriging used with 10% DTR cutoff and no top cut with a block size of 100 x 50 x 20m
• Av. density of 2.96 g/cm3 estimated from 2,357 x 5m downhole geophysics composites with density assigned to ore blocks
• Only Fresh Rock resource reported

The term “Exploration Target” should notbe misconstrued as an estimate ofMineral Resources and Reserves asdefined in the JORC Code (2004), andthe term has not been used in thatcontext. The term is conceptual in natureand it is uncertain if further explorationwill result in the determination of aMineral Resource. Refer Clause 18 ofthe JORC Code (2004).

Information in the foregoing presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves isbased on information compiled by Dr A. P. Belperio, who is a Director and full-time employee of the Company and aFellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Dr A. P. Belperio has a minimum of 5 years experience,which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he isundertaking, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting ofExploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Dr A. P. Belperio consents to inclusion in the presentationof matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.
