Pinjin, WA• Full results received for 163 hole Aircore drill program
completed in Q2 Dec FY18.• Drilling highlights anomalous gold in bedrock
associated with three trends: Graham’s Find, Yindi Station and Mulgabbie.
• Further drilling planned in Q4 June FY18 to continue testing these and other targets.
Tabar Islands, PNG• Simberi Island deep diamond hole to test porphyry
potential at Pigiput ongoing, initial hole abandoned, second due to be completed by June.
• Ongoing Newcrest Farm-in activities, including completion of third deep diamond drill hole at Talik North prospect on Tatau Island.
• Results of 2 of 3 holes received showing mostly low grade Cu and Au amidst distinctive porphyry type signatures
• Kupo copper - molybdenum - gold target drilling to commence in Q4 subject to access
Back Creek, NSW• Surface gravity and passive seismic
survey completed in Q1 Sep FY18.• Aircore drill program to follow up
in Q4 June FY18.

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
