Thomas Creek Copper-Gold Target

Panned samples show chalcocite ± covellite (blue-grey) partly replacing chalcopyrite. Soil anomaly includes exceptional assays up to 7.0% copper 3 g/t gold Economic grades of primary copper-gold occurs in deeply weathered remnant thick ore shoots, several metres in width and open along strike

Historic Shallow Drilling at Thomas Creek

  • 8 shallow BQ sized holes completed in 1996

do not test the IP anomaly and appear have been drilled adjacent to parallel shallow high grade ore shoots.

  • Broad zones of low grade Cu reported – i.e.

TCD2 - 58m @ 0.08% Cu from 40m, TCD5 - 15m @ 0.17% Cu from 32m.

  • Significant core loss from intensely altered

zones – higher copper-gold grades may not have returned sample for assay.

  • Strongly altered porphyritic diorite –

andesite with extensive hematite stockwork vein system (after primary sulphide?) and intense – silica - K-spar, sericite, chlorite alteration

  • Drilling to 60-90m vertical depth (if no

uplift)

  • May still be in leached Cu depleted

zone!

VMS targets - Padthaway

  • Cambrian rocks in South

Australia are similar in age, lithology and geochemistry to those in western Tasmania

  • Where these rocks outcrop

base metal VMS mineralisation is abundant.

  • They continue under shallow

cover to the southeast, where limited historical drilling indicates the main volcanic source rocks occur

  • Conductive cover has

previously been an impediment to EM techniques

  • New developments in EM

technology (eg B-field) will allow Sherlock to generate new targets in this terrain

Outcropping Cambrian rocks (purple) continue under cover in the Padthaway region (aeromagnetic data). Red dots indicate base-metal mineralisation. EL 5387

Forward Program

Thomas Creek Extend geochemical and geophysical surveys to define extent and best areas to drill test Padthaway Project Advance VMS targets with EM / IP geophysical surveys to drill ready status Drill Test Thomas Creek Copper-Gold Project

  • Initially approx. 4 x 350m holes

Henrietta Nickel Project

  • Initially approx. 2 x 200m holes

Padthaway Copper-Zinc-Lead-Gold-Silver Targets

  • Initially approx. 10 x 200m holes

Budget $4 to $6 Million

Business Model

  • The current minerals investment market is

poor, but will improve quickly when it turns.

  • Sherlock is a low cost operator – no office, no

directors fees, no employees – all funds directly spent on advancing projects.

  • JV partners and/or potential additional seed

monies sought to assist funding near term pre- drill exploration.

  • IPO/RTO when the market improves.
