JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.) Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Sampling techniques

• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

• Random Rock chip

samples taken by G pick • XRF analysis was by

Niton XL2 hand held • Samples were selected

from outcrops within the Gilded Rose mining, the Belgium mining area, EPM15858, & 14163

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary • Include reference to measures taken to

ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Rock chips were located randomly in the field for exploration, yet chiseled by jack hammer over 1m composites for the Belgium copper mine. Samples were submitted to SGS laboratory where 50g charges were collected for Fire assay and ICP analysis

Drilling techniques

• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release.

Drill sample recovery

• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

• Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release

Logging • Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

• Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

• The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

• For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

• Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

• Industry standard Fire assays were completed by SGS laboratories for Gold and ICP analysis for metals including copper.

Verification of sampling and assaying

• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

• The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry

procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release

• No assays were adjusted

Location of data points

• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

• Specification of the grid system used.

• Rock Chip sample locations were determined by hand- held GPS readings at the location of each sample (accuracy +/- 5m) and recorded in MGA94, Zone 54

control. datum

Data spacing and distribution

• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

• Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

• Whether sample compositing has been applied.

• Rock chip samples were taken randomly along ~ outcrop at Gilded Rose, EPM15858 & EPM141, yet 1m composites were collected at the Belgium copper mine.

• Data spacing and distribution is NOT sufficient for Mineral Resource estimation

• No sample compositing has been applied.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

• If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

• The orientation of samples is not likely to bias the assay results.

Sample security

• The measures taken to ensure sample security.

• Samples were taken to Cloncurry by company personnel and dispatched by courier to the SGS Laboratory in Townsville

Audits or reviews

• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

• No audits or reviews have been undertaken at this stage.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary understanding of the report, the

Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

Data aggregation methods

• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.

• Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.

• The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release

• No material information is excluded.

• No intersections have been reported as part of this release.

• All sample 65 sample locations and fire assay Au results have been displayed.

• An average sample grade was displayed from the total samples taken, yet not a weighted average.

Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths

• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.

• If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

• If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’).

• No drilling, logging or sampling was conducted as part of this release

• No material information is excluded.

• No intersections have been reported as part of this release.

Diagrams • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

• Maps showing the location of all Ausmex tenements projects are presented in the announcement

Balanced reporting

• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

• All comprehensive Fire assay results for Gold and ICP results for copper, plus screen shots of Cobalt readings were reported.

Other substantive exploration data

• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
