Copper & Gold resource development and exploration – Target of 10-20Mt at

1.5% copper and 1g/t of gold

Previously operating mines prematurely closed in 1974

– Leaving ore in the ground

Exploration upside

  • Extensions to mines defined but

never evaluated

  • New known targets known to

previous operators but not tested

9 exploration licences, consisting of four target project areas

  • Covering a cumulative 31.56km²
  • Potential to divest non-core

assets

Route to early cash-flow Low environmental impact

Low-cost, de-risked redevelopment of former copper-gold mines hosting significant residual mineralisation, strike extensions and new targets underpinned by low-technology reprocessing of

  • Former open pit mined for high-grade pyrite
  • Scope for bulk copper mineralisation surrounding

high-grade core

  • Historic drilling achieved multiple intersections of

copper over significant mineralised widths:

  • 2.2% copper over 40m
  • 1.0% copper over 70m
  • 0.52% copper over 60m
  • 0.45% copper over 80m
  • 0.45% copper over 50m
  • 0.36% copper over 70m
  • 0.33% copper over 120m
  • May contain economic quantities of

gold

  • Multiple dumps show evidence of

copper mineralisation which may be reflecting the low-grade bulk hangingwall tonnage stripped to access the high-grade pyritic core
