Mallee Bull Current Status
Final Stage of CBH Farm-in: looking for new mineralisation;
commence resource definition drilling
– Stage 3 of farm-in (to complete earn-in of 50%) commenced Jul 2013; completion expected by mid-Mar 2014 at which point 50:50 JV begins
– Exploration for new mineralisation has comprised:
• Multiple geophysical surveys including DHEM, MMR, MT/AMT, gravity
• RAB and diamond drilling targeting Butchers Dog, Mallee Bull, 4-Mile Goldfields
– Lots of smoke – results to date show widespread, broad scale alteration and anomalous geochemistry up to 1km from Mallee Bull; indicative of large hydrothermal system
– Resource definition drilling at Mallee Bull now underway
– MBDD017 (metallurgical/exploration/deep DHEM) drillhole completed with known mineralisation extended to >800m below surface
– Excellent early met-testwork results showing that bulk of Mallee Bull mineralisation (footwall/stringer lode) produced ~25% Cu-in-concentrate at >90% recovery; further testwork underway

Mallee Bull Looking Ahead
Mallee Bull Maiden Resource May 2014; Looking for the next Mallee Bull
– Maiden Resource Estimate May 2014
– Drillout and scoping study over balance of calendar 2014 (subject to JV approval)
– Cobar-style deposits typically cluster/stack; continue search for the next Mallee Bull
– Butchers Dog = high priority target
– BDDD001 (drilled August 2013) targeted coincident strong DHEM conductor and magnetic anomalies; intersected broad alteration zone
– Highly anomalous precious and base metal geochemistry in alteration zone
– Very strong DHEM offhole conductor (~170 mstime constant = 2 x as strong as Mallee Bull)
– Disseminated pyrrhotite alteration halos can be associated with Cobar-style deposits
– Follow-up exploration planned

Cobar Superbasin Project (CSP) – 100% PEX
• 100%-owned and highly prospective
– 14 granted ELs covering more than 3,062 km2
– Leveraging off Mallee Bull discovery and exploration presence/infrastructure
– Largely underexplored/underdrilled
– Major geochem (portable XRF) programme underway
– Multiple walk-up targets including Sandy Creek, Mundoe, Bedooba, Tara, GilgunniaSouth prospects
– RC drilling at Mundoe completed 2012 – significant drill results returned over 600m strike and open
– Multiple new (previously unknown) prospects identified: several with coincident geophysical and geochemical anomalies
– Exploration continuing with aim of ranking targets prior to drill testing
Large, highly prospective land package underwritten by Mallee Bull Farm-in

Sandy Creek: the next Mallee Bull?
• Sandy Creek key facts
– 20 km along strike and north of Mallee Bull
– Stratigraphic equivalent to Mallee Bull in high strain structural environment
– Coincident magnetic, strong electromagnetic and IP anomalies
– Historic drilling yielding encouraging results:• 1.4m at 12.7% Zn, 5.7% Pb, 45g/t Ag from 199.7m
• 3.0m at 2.0% Zn, 1.2% Pb from 426m
• 10.2m at 1.6% Cu, 7.4% Pb, 68g/t Ag from 521.8m (incl. 3.3m at 1.5% Cu, 18.0% Pb, 122g/t Ag from 523.7m)
• PSCDD001 completed by Peel in August 2013 targeting strong offhole DHEM anomaly intersects several broad zones of mineralisation/alteration Including:
• 25m at 0.9% Zn, 0.4% Pb, 4 g/t Ag from 237m
• 19m at 0.3% Zn, 2.6% Pb 16 g/t Ag from 493m (incl. 4m at 0.5% Cu, 9.6% Pb, 1.1% Zn, 48g/t Ag from 493m) – approx. coincident with conductor plate model
– Geological logging of PSCDD001 shows strong, broad alteration indicative of significant hydrothermal system
– Wirlong and Redshaft copper workings never drilled with oxide copper at surface

Notes
1. Information regarding drilling/assaying data
2. Drilling was completed as HQ or NQ diamond core.
3. Sample recoveries were considered adequate for all samples.
4. Drillcore has been logged in detail based on lithology, mineralisation, and alteration.
5. Samples for analysis were collected by sawing core in half.
6. Samples were submitted as 1m or 4m composite half-core intervals.
7. Samples were analysed at ALS Chemex utilising methods: Au‐AA25 for Au (fire assay); ME‐ICP41, ME-ICP61 or ME MS61 for multi-element including Ag, Cu, Pb, Zn; Ag-OG46 for >100 g/t Ag; Cu-OG46 for >1% Cu; Pb-OG46 for >1% Pb; and Zn-OG46 for >1% Zn.
8. Drillhole collars were surveyed by DGPS (GDA94) and downhole gyroscopic surveys were run continuously.
* Copper Equivalent Calculation Explanation:
• The copper equivalent (CuEq) calculation represents the total metal value for each metal, multiplied by the conversion factor, summed and expressed in equivalent copper percentage. These results are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result, nor metallurgical flowsheet considerations. The copper equivalent calculation is intended as an indicative value only. No metallurgical testwork has been completed to date however it is the Company’s opinion that all the elements included in the copper equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered.
• Copper equivalent conversion factors and long‐term price assumptions used follow:Massive Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00 + Co (ppm) x 0.025)/0.0075;
• Stringer/Breccia Sulphide Zone Copper Equivalent Formula (CuEq) = (Cu (ppm) x 0.0075 + Ag (ppm) x 0.96 + Au (ppm) x 50.00)/0.0075;
• Price Assumptions ‐ Cu (US$7,500/t), Ag (US$30/oz), Au (US$1,500/oz), Co (US$25,000/t).
• Pb and Zn have not been used in copper equivalent calculation.
