Radio – background and historic performance

• Radio mine privately owned for 50 years to
• 1974. Mining ceased in 1970’s after gold prices

fell to low of <A$200/oz

• Historic mining extended to 100 meters below

surface, and produced 71,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 38.5g/tonne (700 ounces per vertical meter)

• Product rates of up to 3,900 ounces per annum

were achieved with small scale, handheld mining techniques

• Acquired by REZ May 2016

• Systematic and safe access being established to old

work areas for the purpose of sampling

• Old workings contain considerable quantities of blasted

rock, pending assays this material may prove beneficial to the commissioning of the Radio gravity plant

• Reconnaissance sampling undertaken from selected

lode exposures and broken floor rock immediately adjacent to the 10 level shaft access included the following assays*:

• 54.2g/t – 9 Level Footwall Lode
• 34.3g/t – 8 Level East Lode
• 26.0g/t – 9 to 10 Level Chute grabs
• 12.6g/t – 9 Level Footwall Lode

Radio Project – upside potential

• Other prospects that exist within the mining lease

include:

• Radio Repeater
• Radio Deeps
• Manxman
• Queenslander
• Inspiration South
• Maries Find
• Magpie
• Once mine operations and gold extraction has

commenced, exploratory drilling of other prospects will be undertaken to investigate potential for additional resources.

• Particular attention at confirming down dip and strike

extents of existing Radio Lodes-which have yet to be closed off by drilling

• Exploration costs expected to be low and will utilize

equipment and staff currently on site

Mount Mackenzie – background

Mount Mackenzie (MM) comprises 3 Exploration Permits for Minerals (EPM) known as EPM 10006, EPM 17515, and EPM 12546. EPM 10006 is in advanced stage of exploration, and application for higher level of title (ML or MDL) will be lodged during 2017. These permits are prospective for high sulphidation epithermal Gold and Silver mineralisation. Breccia and porphyry style Gold mineralisation with a poly-metallic (Pb, Zn, Ag, Cu) association has been identified as well. Drilling Investigations completed by the company in 2015-2016 has has resulted in a Mineral Resource (JORC 2012) estimate comprising 2.37Mt for approximately 100,000 oz of contained gold and 634,000 oz of contained Silver** which includes;

• Indicated Resources:

49,000 oz of Gold, and 455,000 oz of Silver

• Inferred Resources :

51,000 oz of Gold, and 179,000 oz of Silver The resource is amenable to shallow open cut mining at very favourable strip ratios of 2:1. Mineralisation has not been closed off below current pit floor extents The tenement package is also host to 3 prospects, which have scope to deliver additional resources to the project inventory, these are known as Instinct, Clive Creek, and Coppermine Creek. Scoping study targeting shallow oxide and transitional ore for a low capital cost start-up mining option is progressing

14

Mount Mackenzie – site location

• MM is approximately 110km northwest of

Rockhampton on the Bruce Highway, and then 50km west of the township of Marlborough on the inland road to Sarina.

• In geological context the MM is located within

the Connors Magmatic Arc of the New England Fold Belt (NEFB)

• The NEFB has supported most major gold mine

development in NE Queensland with over 50 million ounces of gold as well significant amounts of copper and silver produced.

• Significant mines include Mount Carlton, Mount

Leyshon, Pajingo, Kidston, Mount Wright, Mount Rawdon, Mount Morgan and Cracow.

15

Mount Mackenzie - prospect and tenement locations

• Collectively, the MM tenement package

encompasses a surface area of 26km, which are host to 9 prospects:

• North Knoll
• SW Slopes
• East Knoll
• Bald Hill
• South Knoll
• Instinct
• Coppermine Creek
• Clive Creek
• Quinine Gully
• Sphinx Hill.
• The North Knoll and South West slopes have

been subject of investigation, which have so far yielded an optimised open cut resource comprising 100,000 oz of Gold and 634,000 oz

• f Silver as shown in the table**.

16

Mount Mackenzie - mine planning and scoping study

• 2016 drilling campaign focussed on strategically

located exploration holes to confirm resource extents in the North Knoll, enabling mine planning studies to commence.

• Drilling included 110 metres of HQ3 core size, to

provide samples of oxide, transitional and primary ore types.

• Scoping studies to guide project feasibility work have

commenced and include: :

• Preliminary Environmental Assessment
• Planning and Approvals Regime
• Preliminary Mine Planning
• Metallurgical Investigations
• Processing Options
• Geotechnical Assessment
• ARD and waste rocks Characterisation

17

Mount Mackenzie - metallurgical investigations

Sampling

• 850kg of core submitted for comprehensive evaluation by ALS

grindability studies including Bond Work Index, Abrasion Index, and SAG Mill Capacity (SMC) Testing

• 15 variability composites prepared for leach characterisation

Comminution Testing

• Favourable Bond Work index kWh/t (9.5-12) in all classes of ore
• Low Abrasion Index (0.1-0.3) in all classes of ore
• SMC test-work indicates ore is soft
• Amenable to a conventional comminution circuit in all classes of ore
• Low Crusher Specific Energy requirements are predicated based on SMC test results

Leach Testing

• Preliminary bottle roll test-work on RC composites (reported in 2016) confirmed
• Optimum Grind Size of 106um -well within conventional CIL/CIP technology
• Excellent Leach Kinetics in Oxide and Transitional Ore- +90% of Au recovery in first 4 hours
• Excellent Au and Ag recovery in Oxide and Transitional Ore 80-95%
• Primary Ore Au recovery down-53-60% but amenable to more aggressive treatment to improve recovery (finer

grind size, and floatation.

Mount Mackenzie – upside potential (Clive Creek)

• The Clive Creek prospect is 4km north of Mount Mackenzie
• Historic coincident gold and copper soil anomalies
• Two large zones of Alteration-Sphinx and Quinine Gully
• Comparable size of Mount Mackenzie
• Modern MMI orientation survey completed
• 419 samples collected
• Results confirm high Au response ratios over historic anomalies
• Drill targets identified

20 This prospect lies 1 km west of Mount Mackenzie and was discovered in 1999 The host of the mineralization is the late Carboniferous Macksford Andesite which is covered by 400m to 600m of younger, Early Permian, volcanic cover rocks. The deeper resources represent targets for a large mineralised system to the west of Mount Mackenzie. Mineralisation is evident as:

• Sulphide matrix polymict breccias
• Hydrothermal and probable intrusive origin;
• Multidirectional quartz- sulphide stock-works;
• Vuggy silica alteration, and;
• Haematized zones related to palaeo weathering

21

Mount Mackenzie – upside potential (Copper Mine Creek)

• A series of old copper workings is located 1 km north west of Mount Mackenzie
• Copper mineralisation was found in an old pit in andesites of the Lizzie Creek Volcanics on the western slopes of Mt

Mackenzie.

• Copper occurs as Malachite, Azurite and Cuprite and possibly represents near surface enrichment of copper

mineralisation at depth

• Historical exploration on selected grab sample (CV41) assayed 13.1% copper, 15.6 dwts/short ton silver and a trace
• f gold (0.1 grams/tonne), Medworth (1974).
• Shallow Diamond Drilling in 1975 west of the Mt Mackenzie workings, and inclined 60 degrees towards the trenches

intersected 23% Cu and 259g/t Ag over 0.3m interval from 7m down the hole.
