Exploration | Horsepaddock Well – Leonora province

Q3 March FY18 geophysical surveys at Horsepaddock Well completed• Previous exploration to 2006 highlighted

potential for a granite-intrusive type of deposit under ultramafics

• Recent improvements in the depth penetration of IP and SAM (Induced Polarisation and Sub-Audio Magnetic) make these potentially effective techniques for targeting disseminated sulphides 100m – 200m deep, typical of deposits in the Province

• Results being studied with follow-up work programs expected in Q4 June FY18
