This Annexure forms part of the Information Form and Checklist supplied by the entity named above to support its application for admission to the official list of ASX Limited (ASX) as an ASX Listing.

A reference in this Annexure to JORC means the Australasian Code for Reporting Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Resources - 2012 Edition, a copy of which is included in Annexure 5A of the Listing Rules. Terms used in this Annexure which are defined in JORC (including, without limitation, 'exploration target',' exploration results',' mineral resource', 'ore reserve' and 'competent person') have the same meaning as in JORC.

Section 1.5 of the Independent Technical Report

Section 12 of the Independent Technical Report

Section 12 of the Independent Technical Report and section 15.5 of the prospectus

  1. The Offer Document must use terminology consistent with the terms in Figure 1 of JORC. Terms such as 'mining inventory' or 'mineable resource' are not allowed.
  2. JORC clause 11 defines a 'competent person' as a minerals industry professional who is a Member or Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, or of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, or of a 'Recognised Professional Organisation', as included in a list available on the JORC and ASX websites. The person must have a minimum of five years relevant experience in the style of mineralisation or type of deposit under consideration and in the activity which that person is undertaking. If the competent person is preparing documentation on exploration results, the relevant experience must be in exploration. If the competent person is estimating, or supervising the estimation of mineral resources, the relevant experience must be in the estimation, assessment and evaluation of mineral resources. If the competent person is estimating, or supervising the estimation of ore reserves, the relevant experience must be in the estimation, assessment, evaluation and economic extraction of ore reserves.

4. Is there an Independent Geologist's Report included in the Offer Document?

If so, where does it state that any exploration target, exploration results or estimates of mineral resources or ore reserves (as the case may be):

  • are based on, and fairly represent, information and supporting documentation prepared by a named competent person or persons;
  • the name of the professional organisation of which the competent person is a member; and
  • that the competent person has given his or her prior written consent as to the form and context in which the exploration target, exploration results or estimates of mineral resources or ore reserves (as the case may be) and the supporting information are presented in the report (Listing Rule 5.22 for material mining projects and JORC clause 9 for other projects)?

Is the Independent Geologist's Report either a technical assessment report, valuation report, or fairness and reasonableness report prepared in accordance with the Valmin Code?

If so, where does it state in the report the declarations required by section 12 of the Valmin Code?

  1. Does the Offer Document include a "metal equivalents" calculation?
    If so, where does the Offer Document include the following information required under JORC clause 50:
    • individual grades for all metals included in the metal equivalent calculation;
    • except where the information is commercially sensitive, the assumed commodity prices for all metals;3
    • assumed metallurgical recoveries for all metals and a discussion of the basis on which the assumed recoveries are derived (metallurgical test work, detailed mineralogy, similar deposits, etc);4
    • a clear statement that it is the entity's opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold; and
    • the calculation formula used?
  2. Please enter "Confirmed" in the column to the right to indicate that the Offer Document does not include any reference to "in situ" or "in ground" values
    (JORC clause 51).

Yes

Sections 3, 5 & 12 of the Independent Technical Report

The report is a technical assessment report as defined in the VALMIN Code. The declarations are in section 1 of the Independent Technical Report.

No.

Confirmed

  1. Actual assumed prices should be disclosed. It is not sufficient to refer to a "spot price", without disclosing the actual price in question. Where the actual assumed prices used are said to be commercially sensitive, the entity must disclose sufficient information, perhaps in narrative rather than numerical form, for investors to understand the methodology it has used to determine these prices.
  2. Estimates of metallurgical recoveries for each metal must be used to calculate meaningful metal equivalents. Reporting on the basis of metal equivalents is not appropriate if metallurgical recovery information is not available or able to be estimated with reasonable confidence.

determine the grade and tonnage ranges used to describe the

exploration target (JORC clause 17);

following JORC requirements have been satisfied:

the mineral resource estimate has been appropriately classified

according to increasing geological confidence (ie inferred, indicated or

measured - JORC clause 20-24);

if an estimation of an inferred mineral resource is presented on the basis

of extrapolation beyond the nominal sampling spacing and taking into

account the style of mineralisation, the report contains sufficient

information to inform the reader of:

the maximum distance that the resource is extrapolated beyond the

sample points;

the proportion of the resource that is based on extrapolated data;

the basis on which the resource is extrapolated to these limits; and

a diagrammatic representation of the inferred mineral resource

showing clearly the extrapolated part of the estimated resource

(JORC clause 21);

the mineral resource estimate has been rounded off to appropriately

significant figures, is referred to as an estimate not as a calculation and,

in the case of inferred mineral resources, is qualified by the term

'approximately' (JORC clause 25);

9 If an entity that determines that any of the criteria is not material to understanding the estimate of mineral resources, the entity must identify the criteria and explain why it has determined that it is not material to that understanding.
