Resource Estimate Notes: The Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate is reported above a cut-off grade of 8.9% MnO. A 10% reduction has been applied to the resource tonnage to account for moisture content. Tonnages can therefore be considered dry. The Mineral Resource Estimate is constrained within grade based solids and within a Lerchs-Grossman optimised pit shell based on an HPEMM price of US$4,700 /t and the following parameters: a. Mining Cost – US$3.46 /t rock b. Processing Cost – US$276.5 /t ore c. Selling cost – 3% d. G&A – US$20 /t ore e. Discount Rate – 10% f. Processing Recovery – 87.5% g. Mining Recovery – 95% h. Mining Dilution – 5% i. Geotechnical Slope Angle - 45° All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimate. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. It is uncertain if further exploration will convert Inferred Mineral Resources to higher confidence categories. The Qualified Person (as that term is defined by NI 43-101) responsible for preparing the Mineral Resource statement, PEA and Amended Technical Report for the K.Hill is Michael John Beare, BEng, CEng, MIOM of SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd. Mr. Beare has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content contained in this press release and verified the underlying technical data. Mr. Beare is independent of the Company.
