• underground (narrow high-grade veins)

produced ~38,000oz at 27g/t (10)

• Good drill intersections remain open
• Potentially mineable area to 25m below

base of existing pit

• Numerous historical deposits on

large granted ML

• A number of areas with

mineralisation remaining

• Opportunity exists to exploit

these areas

• Further drilling warranted –

prioritise with key base metals targets

Summary

Hayes Creek

• Set the baseline - convert Iron Blow mineral resource estimate to JORC 2012 compliance
• Understand the resource – diamond drill testing & structural analysis
• Demonstrate economic extraction – metallurgical testing
• Identify additional resources in close proximity - test nearby VTEM targets, define JORC

compliant mineral resource estimate at Mount Bonnie

Moline

• Drill test known prospects and defined targets, prioritising existing geochemical anomalies

and geophysical targets in favourable lithological and structural settings

Burnside and Chessman exploration

• Re-interpret VTEM data to confirm and prioritise targets
• Ground follow up with geochemical based fieldwork, mapping and RC drilling

Key Terms of the agreement with Crocodile Gold Australia Pty Ltd (CGA)

• 15 Mining Leases (Sale Tenements) to be acquired including those that contain the Iron Blow and Mount

Bonnie deposits in exchange for a 2% royalty over the market value of gold and silver contained in concentrate production from the Sale Tenements.

• CGA has the right to clawback a 30% interest within 6 months of the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study

by paying PNX three times its accumulated expenditure on these tenements.

• Earn-in and JV over 21 exploration licences and 4 mining leases covering 1,700 square kilometres over

three main project areas (Farm-in Tenements).

• PNX can earn a 51% interest (excluding uranium) with the expenditure of $2 million over 2 years (which

can include up to $0.5 million spent on the Sale Tenements).

• PNX can elect to increase the earned interest to 90% by spending an additional $2 million within a

further 2 years (which can include up to a further $0.5 million spent on the Sale Tenements).

• CGA can acquire 90% of any 2012 JORC compliant gold and silver deposit (or a deposit where 80% or

more of the in situ value is comprised of the value of gold and silver) by paying PNX three times its accumulated expenditure relating to that deposit within 6 months of the initial resource estimate being announced to the ASX.

• PNX can withdraw before spending the initial $2 million and would forfeit any right to the tenements.
• Further consideration of $500,000 (in cash or PNX shares) is payable upon completion of a Definitive

Feasibility Study on any base metals deposit within the Farm-in tenements or Sale Tenements.

• The agreement remains subject to Conditions Precedent requiring the parties to enter into certain deeds
• f assignment and assumption with relevant third parties in relation to existing agreements affecting the
