OPERATIONS
Paris Silver Project
The Paris Silver Project is located approximately 70kms north of the rural township of Kimba on South
Australia's Eyre Peninsula. Access to the project site is predominantly via highways and sealed roads and
is approximately 7 hours by road from Adelaide, as seen in Figure 1, below. Major regional centres with onlyindustrial capacity, support services and airports are Whyalla (212km) and Port Augusta (227km).

Apollo Prospect
Apollo was initially targeted on a northeast oriented structure interpreted through multiple geophysical datasets in 2020, with a single RC hole (PPRC735) returning a 1m assay at 96g/t silver from 66m4. Follow- up drilling in 2021 intersected broader and higher grade silver intersections and improved knowledge of the structural orientation associated with mineralisation. Following an infill soil sampling program in 2021,
Fora larger drill program was undertaken in early 2022 assessing the broader Apollo prospect.
With field observations identifying potential high grade silver mineralisation, samples from 2 holes were selected for rapid laboratory turn-around. As announced on 23 May 2022, assays from hole PPRC826 returned the highest grade silver intersection ever reported outside the Paris deposit resource footprint, with 7m at 700g/t silver from 150m, including 4m @ 1,170g/t silver.

ASX Release - InvestigatorQuarterly Activities Report30 June 2022
Petrology samples taken from within hole PPRC826 have confirmed that the volcanic lithologies in addition to mineralisation and alteration styles are observed to be identical to those at Paris. Additionally, the presence of low-level gold (3m @ 0.13g/t from 150m) within the same interval supports the theory that miner-
onlyalising fluids are of similar origin to that at Paris, which also exhibits a similar low level gold association. Low level gold is not a common feature in the areas drilled proximal to the Paris deposit.
With these highly encouraging early results, a diamond drill hole was completed parallel to hole PPRC826. This diamond twin hole was designed to provide enhanced geological information and structural detail which will assist in interpretation of the controls and structural orientation of mineralisation and allow targeting of the next drilling program within the Apollo Prospect to be planned with greater knowledge of the
usestructural setting. The next drilling program over the Apollo Prospect is anticipated to be undertaken later this year.
The 2022 Exploration Drill Program across the targets proximal to the Paris Silver Project can be seen in Figure 2 below. The eagerly awaited remaining assay results from the 7,600m, 52 hole RC drill program
personalcompleted across six high priority targets are anticipated to be returned from the laboratory in July and will be reported as soon as possible.

Mineralisation in hole PPRC826 was interpreted to have stronger association with the quartz veining observed both within the high-grade interval and the broader low grade silver halo of this hole and adjacent
Forhole PPRC825.
A photo micrograph of the thin section of mineralisation within PPRC826 in the petrological review is shown in Figure 4 below.

Paris Silver Project - Definitive Feasibility Study
Work programs undertaken to advance the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) for the 100% owned Paris Silver Project during the quarter included:
∙ Paris Open Pit geotechnical drilling. | |
For | A program of 14 diamond drill holes were completed across the Paris Conceptual Open Pit bound- |
aries to improve confidence in the geotechnical assumptions and parameters used in design work. | |
Additionally, where holes intersected mineralisation, sampling for assay analysis is being under- | |
taken in order to maximise additional information in any future updated resource estimation studies | |
in addition to potential additional metallurgical study work. The additional core can be used to | |
further support density estimates for the project and a program to generate this additional valuable | |
information is underway. |
