Introduction
1.1 Overview
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd (Gulliver) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rey Resources
Limited (Rey). Rey is an ASX-listed company (ASX.REY) focused on exploring and
developing energy resources in Western Australia’s Canning and Perth Basins. Rey
recently acquired the Gulliver assets in the Canning Basin including Stokes Bay-1 and
Point Torment-1 well sites (Retention Lease R1), West Kora-1 well site (Production
Licence L15) and EP 104.
1.2 Scope
This Environment Plan (EP) has been prepared for the proposed Geochemical Survey at
Stokes Bay-1 and Point Torment-1 well sites on Retention Lease R1, and Exploration
Permit EP104 (the ‘project’). This EP has been developed in accordance with the (then)
Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) ‘Guideline for the Development of Petroleum
and Geothermal Environment Plans in Western Australia’ (DMP 2016) under the
Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources (Environment) Regulations 2012
(PER(E)R).
Further, this EP provides Gulliver with a practical environmental performance tool for these
proposed activities.
This EP was established to identify key risks and potential environmental impacts during
the proposed activities at Stokes Bay-1, Point Torment-1 and EP104 to provide detailed
management and mitigation strategies to minimise environmental impacts during the
activities.
1.3 Licence Holder and Operator Details
Gulliver is the registered operator of EP104 and R1 under the Petroleum and Geothermal
Energy Resources (Environment) Regulations 2012. The following tables outline the

Description of the Activity (Regulation
14(1))
Gulliver proposes to conduct an oil and gas Geochemical Survey for EP 104 and R1 to
detect the gas bearing property of three traps. West Head and Saddleback traps were
found onshore on EP 104. In which, West Head is a Devonian Nullara carbonate reef trap;
and Saddleback is a Late Devonian-Early Carboniferous low-stand fan trap. The third trap,
an Anderson sandstone trap, was developed in the north-eastern area of R1. Accordingly,
this EP is required to address the proposed activities.
The proposed activities involved in the Geochemical Survey are as follows:
• A total of 76 soil samples at 100 m intervals along a pre-existing road at EP 104
• A total of 70 soil samples at 100 m intervals along a pre-existing road in the direction
of the extension to the offshore area in R1
• Sampling and detection will be conducted in accordance with normative methods for
soil geochemical surveys for gas and will analyse the distribution of anomalies.
The Geochemical Survey methods used, are as follows (Plate 1):
• One light vehicle and one personnel, will drive to sample points along existing track
• Stopping at designated points (marked by GPS)
• Using a small trowel to take soil samples of no more than 20 cm deep (200-300
grams) and placing sample in a sealed bag.
• Soil samples to be taken are small and will not result in holes that could interfere with
livestock or other land users, see Plate 1.
• Returning to vehicle, marking the sample bag and taking a GPS recording.
• Drive to next point and repeat until completed.
The activity is low impact with no requirement to clear vegetation and therefore minimal
impacts to vegetation or fauna. No infrastructure is required to be installed or used, no
chemicals or hazardous substances will be used, and no heavy machinery will be operated.
The Geochemical Survey will be undertaken by Thunderstone Energy Pty Ltd as a
subcontractor to Gulliver.
3238AB Environment Plan EP104 and R1 Canning Basin
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 4
Soils are collected from the top two
inches and no deeper than 20 cm in
depth.
The sample will be approximately 200 to
300 grams unless the soil is unusually
coarse then a larger sample may be
needed to provide sufficient fine fraction.
Unlikely to be more than 500 g.
Three to five equal scoops will be
collected from the immediate area and
placed in the numbered bag.
Plate 1: Soil Collecting Procedure (Source: Graystone Exploration Labs, Inc)
Hydrocarbon spills from the light vehicle fuel tank pose a low risk and potential impact to
the environment and require a minor-moderate level of spill response. It is expected that
the fuel tank will have a maximum capacity of 180 litres of diesel. The light vehicle will
travel from Derby to the Geochemical Survey locations each day and undertake refuelling
at a petrol station in Derby.

2.1 Location
Two survey lines, in close proximity to each other, are proposed at both EP 104 and R1.
The two survey lines at R1 are 20 km north-east of Derby and the two lines at EP 104 are
50 km north-west of Derby, within the Lennard North Province in Western Australia’s
Canning Basin (Figure 1). The survey areas fall within the Shire of Derby/ West Kimberley,
which has a total population of approximately 7,705 people (Australian Bureau of
Statistics, 2016).
Gulliver has existing projects (wells) within R1, these are Stokes Bay-1 and Point Torment-
1. There are existing tracks into these project areas via raised causeways. These existing
tracks will be used for the Geochemical Survey.
Due to ground conditions, physical access is restricted to the dry season (May to October)
only. Access to EP 104 and R1 will be from Derby, along the Great Northern Highway,
heading north onto existing pastoral tracks (Plate 2).

2.2 Construction and Operational Details
The proposed Geochemical Survey will not involve the construction of any landforms or
infrastructure and the only operational components will be the driving of a 4wd light vehicle
along existing tracks. There is no proposed clearing or additional disturbances on EP 104
or R1.
2.2.1 Care and Maintenance
No care and maintenance activities are required for the Geochemical Survey sites.
2.2.2 Decommissioning
There is no site infrastructure within the Geochemical Survey lines. Existing tracks will be
utilised for the survey. These tracks are regularly used as pastoral and exploration tracks
and therefore will remain indefinitely. Therefore, no decommissioning works are required
to be undertaken.
2.2.3 Rehabilitation
There is no proposed clearing or disturbance activities as part of the survey. Therefore,
no rehabilitation activities will be required.

Description of the Environment
(Regulation 14(2))
This section refers to the existing environment and surrounds of EP 104 and R1 using
historical data and desktop analysis. The Geochemical Survey lines are located within
existing cleared areas where there are no registered Cultural Heritage sites, European
Heritage sites, Threatened flora or fauna or an Environmentally Sensitive Area (ESA).
3.1 Natural Environment
The project areas fall within the Dampierland IBRA region (Department of the Environment
and Energy, 2016). Dampierland is further split into two subregions, Pindanland, and the
Fitzroy Trough. The study areas lie within the Fitzroy Trough subregion. This semi-arid
subregion forms the northern edge of the Canning Basin, comprising the middle and lower
catchments of the Fitzroy River. The Canning Basin is a large, predominantly onshore
sedimentary basin, ranging in age from the early Ordovician (490M years ago) to the
Cretaceous (80M years ago). The Canning Basin is subdivided into a series of troughs,
sub-basins, platforms, shelves and terraces bounded by generally northwest–southeast
trending syn-depositional fault systems (Graham, 2001).
The project areas are situated in the Fitzroy Trough which contains the thickest
sedimentary deposits of the Canning Basin, with inferred depths of up to 15 km. Landforms
of the Fitzroy Trough include alluvial plains from the Fitzroy River, sandstone and eroded
dune surfaces, coastal mudflats surrounding the Fitzroy Delta, Pindan, Boab and Eucalypt
woodlands, with patches of rainforest and hummock grassland on limestone in the north
and east. The total area of the Fitzroy Trough subregion comprises 3,614,096 ha. The
dominant land uses are grazing on native pastures, unallocated crown land and crown
reserves and conservation(Graham, 2001).
3.2 Flora, Vegetation and Fauna
Mapping of the vegetation of Derby was completed on a broad scale (1:100,000) by Beard
(1980) (Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development, 2018). These
vegetation units were re-assessed by Shepherd et al. (2001) to account for clearing in the
intensive land use zone, dividing some larger vegetation units into smaller units. There are
three Beard/Shepherd vegetation units mapped across the sites. The Shepherd
vegetation types are described below (Figure 2).
R1 -
• Fitzroy Sandplains 755 - Pindan with low trees / Acacia thicket with scattered low
trees over spinifex. Acacia eripoda, Corymbia dichromophlia, Triodia pungens,
T.bitextura
• Fitzroy Sandplains 127 - Tidal mud flat.

EP104 -
• Dampierland 750 – Pindan woodland / Acacia thicket with eucalypt woodland over
spinifex. Acacia tumida, Eucalyptus tectifica, Corymbia grandifolia, Triodia pungens,
T.bitextura
Desktop assessments were conducted for the project of the flora and vegetation values
of conservation significance as listed under the EPBC Act. A 10 km buffer was applied to
all searches to ensure all records in the vicinity were highlighted.
The major habitat for fauna in the area is the savannah woodland with dominant trees
including Corymbia, Eucalyptus, Baobab and Acacia. Five reptiles of conservation
significance have the potential to occur in the project area. Eighteen bird species of
conservation significance have the potential to occur in the project area. There are 12
species of terrestrial mammals of conservation significance that have the potential to occur
in the project area (Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions, 2019;
Department of the Environment and Energy, 2019).
Given the Geochemical Survey’s use of existing cleared tracks (i.e. no proposed
clearing/disturbance) and the low impact nature of the proposed activities, no impacts to
the above-mentioned flora or fauna is expected.
3.3 Soils and Land Systems
The survey sites are located on three soil landscape systems; Yeeda System, Carpentaria
system and the Wanganut system (Department of Primary Industries and Regional
Development, 2018). These systems are described below (and shown on Figure 3):
R1 –
• Yeeda System (337Ye) – Red sandplains supporting pindan vegetation with dense
acacia shrubs, scattered bloodwood and grey box trees and curly spinifex and
ribbon grass
• Carpentaria System (337Cr) – Coastal country, bare mud flats and saline soils with
halophytic vegetation.
EP104 -
• Yeeda System (337Ye) – Red sandplains supporting pindan vegetation with dense
acacia shrubs, scattered bloodwood and grey box trees and curly spinifex and
ribbon grass.
• Wanganut System (335Wa) – Sandplains and linear dunes supporting pindan
woodlands with acacias and bloodwoods and curly spinifex-ribbon grass and broad
low lying swales supporting bloodwood-grey box woodlands with curly spinifex-
ribbon grass.

3.4 Hydrogeology
3.4.1 Surface Water
The survey sites are within the Fitzroy River Catchment, which covers approximately
85,000 km2, making it the major river system in the basin. Flows occur between November
and May following the seasonal rainfall. High tides in the Derby area have been recorded
up to ten metres high, requiring high drainage (Figure 4).
As activities will be conducted during the dry season, or prior to the full onset of the wet
season, no disturbance to water flow or sedimentation is expected.
3.4.2 Groundwater
The Canning Basin covers six regional aquifers whose distribution largely determines the
groundwater salinity patter. Major groundwater resources in these aquifers cover
approximately half of the Derby area. Minor fresh groundwater resources cover a further
third of the area and about a tenth of the area is underlain by saline groundwater only, or
by thick non-water-bearing formations. Groundwater provides almost all water used in the
area but has been most intensively developed on the Derby peninsula, primarily from the
Erskine Sandstone. Groundwater abstraction around the town of Derby has led to
saltwater intrusion and a consequent rise in salinity levels.
There are no public drinking water supply areas (PDWSA) that occur at the survey sites,
or within close proximity to the area (Department of Water and Environmental Regulation,
2019).
3.5 Climate
The climate around EP 104 and R1 is classified as tropical with hot, humid summers and
warm winters. The average maximum temperature at Derby ranges from 30.7°C in June
to 38.2°C in November. The mean annual rainfall in Derby is 701.2 mm, with the highest
recorded in January (204 mm) and the lowest occurring in September (1.0 mm). The mean
number of rain days for Derby is 52 days per year, with the majority falling in the months
of December to March.
Plate 3 uses data from Derby Aero, the nearest meteorological station to the survey sites
to illustrate the mean monthly rainfall, mean maximum and mean minimum temperatures
(Bureau of Meteorology, 2019).

360 Environmental Pty Ltd 12
Plate 3: Climate Data from the Bureau of Meteorology (2019)
3.6 Heritage
3.6.1 Native Title
Current Native Title claim exists over both project areas. The Native Title claimants at R1
are the Mawadjala Gadjidgar people (WC2011/003). At EP104, the Bindunbur Native
Title Application is registered over the site (WC2015/007) (Department of Planning Lands
and Heritage, 2018).
3.6.2 Aboriginal Heritage
Aboriginal cultural heritage artefacts are records of the past occupation of the land by
Aboriginal People. There is potential for isolated Aboriginal archaeological artefacts or
surface scatters to be located on land within study areas. The Department of Planning,
Lands and Heritage Inquiry System identified a number of Registered and Lodged
Aboriginal heritage sites within the study areas; however these sites will not be impacted
by the proposed surveying activities (Department of Planning Lands and Heritage, 2018)
(Figure 6).
The sites are listed in Table 5 below.

3.6.3 European Heritage
There are no State Heritage places identified within the study area (State Heritage Office,
2019).
3.7 Socio-economic Environment
The survey areas are located within the Shire of Derby/ West Kimberley, which has a total
population of approximately 7,705 people (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2016). The
town of Derby is the closest population centre to the sites; located approximately 20 kms
south-west of R1 study area, and approximately 50 kms south-east from EP 104. The
mineral and pastoral industry are important contributors to the local economy, with
approximately 34 pastoral leases registered in the shire (Australian Bureau of Statistics,
2016).
As R1 is situated in the Meda Station pastoral lease, pastoral activities may be conducted
within the area. There are also two existing well heads; Stokes Bay-1 and Point Torment-
1. There is a plugged and abandoned well, Padilpa-1, located on EP104.
The proposed surveying activities will not interfere with any approved activities in the area.
3.8 Values and Sensitivities
Based on the DMIRS Guideline for the Development of Petroleum and Geothermal
Environment Plans in Western Australia (DMIRS 2016), factors considered to be sensitive
include:
• Areas of protected of rare or endangered flora and fauna
3238AB Environment Plan EP104 and R1 Canning Basin
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 14
• Areas of significant habitat (including wetlands and mangroves)
• Areas of temporal significance (including breeding grounds, migration routes and
resting and aggregation areas)
• Cultural and heritage sites
• Marine and terrestrial protected areas
• Groundwater.
Desktop and database searches were used to identify any sensitive or locally or regionally
important areas that may be affected by the activities and events in this scope of work.
The survey areas are not located within any known Environmentally Sensitive Areas
(ESAs), the closest ESA is 25 km north-west of EP104 survey areas. The survey sites are
not located within any areas of significant wetlands or mangroves, the nearest important
wetland is 20 km north-east of the R1 survey area. There are no recorded cultural or
heritage sites within the survey areas, nor are there any protected or conservation areas
and the proposed activities will not interfere with groundwater.

Environmental Risk Assessment and
Management (Regulation 14(3))
This section provides details of the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed
Geochemical Survey and how Gulliver will manage these risks. Gulliver has undertaken
consultation with the relevant stakeholders to determine any perceived risks associated
with the activities.
4.1 Risk Assessment Methodology
This risk assessment process has been applied to the proposed Geochemical Survey based
on the principles of AS/NZA ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and
Guidelines. The risk assessment process is composed of three key steps:
• Risk Identification – identify and document environmental risks and impacts
associated with the organisation activities, goods and services with the use of the
hierarchy control measures
• Qualitatively ranking potential environmental risks to establish relative significance
• Establishing and documenting risk treatments to mitigate potentially significant
environmental impacts.
All components of the Geochemical Survey relevant to the scope of this EP are detailed in
Section 2. The Qualitative Risk Rating Matrix, along with the corresponding descriptions
of consequence and likelihood levels can be seen in Tables 6, 7, 8 and 9.
4.2 Identification of Sources of Risk and
Associated Impacts
The environmental risk assessment process identifies aspects of the proposed
Geochemical Survey activities that poses an inherent risk (risk pathway), identifies
potential impacts arising from the risk pathway and assigns a ranking to the inherent risk.
Control measures are then identified for each inherent risk to ensure it is an ‘As Low As
Reasonably Practicable’ (ALARP) level. Following implementation of the control
measures, a residual risk ranking is applied. Refer to Table 9 for the risk assessment
results.
In some circumstances, the initial risk may be extremely low or negligible and may not
require any treatment options. In circumstances where there are existing standards or
practices that apply to environmental risks, they will be used as appropriate risk treatment.
4.3 Justification of ALARP and Acceptability
The well-established principle of ALARP has been implemented during the Risk
Assessment process for EP104 and R1. DMIRS considers the following definition to be
used to determine whether a risk has been lowered to ALARP:
3238AB Environment Plan EP104 and R1 Canning Basin
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 16
If a measure is practicable and it cannot be shown that the cost of the measure
(in money, time and effort) is grossly disproportionate to the benefit gained; then
the measure is considered reasonably practicable and should be implemented.
The criterion is “reasonably practicable” not “reasonably affordable”: justifiable
cost and effort is not determined by the budget constraints/viability of a project.
When determining risk treatment to reduce a risk to ALARP, the hierarchy of risk controls
summarised below has been considered:
• Avoidance or Elimination: where reasonable and practicable, eliminate the risk. This
can be done by removing or avoiding the activity that posed the risk
• Substitution: reduce the risk by substituting a different activity which poses a lower
risk
• Separation: limit the risk by isolating the activity that poses a risk
• Engineering: control the risk with an engineered solution
• Administrative: mitigate the risk using administrative procedures.

managed with relevant details recorded in the Event and Feedback Register
[RLS_CMS_REG_002_Rev_0]).
Dust generation from
vehicles on unsealed
roads/tracks (health of
vegetation)
The generation of dust from vehicles travelling on unsealed roads / tracks is well understood and as such control measures for managing such a risk are also well understood across the industry.
The risk of this type of event is considered to be low given the low number of vehicles and short duration of on-site activities. The amount of dust generated is considered negligible.
Consequently, Gulliver do not believe that dust generation from care and maintenance activities covered under this plan will result in any health impacts to vegetation thus has not considered this
further.

Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 32
• Surface water
• Hydrocarbon and chemical management
• Hydrocarbon and chemical spills management
• Waste management
• Bushfire control.
A checklist for competencies and training will be prepared for the site personnel,
employees and contractors. This will include project specific training such as induction and
‘fit for work’ declarations, general training will be considered a pre-requisite of
engagement in the role and other role specific competencies. The checklist will be
completed for each member involved in the project and reviewed by the respective
manager should they meet all the requirements of the position before commencing work.
Certificates and/or proof of completion will be recorded in RLS Integrated Management
System and RLS Health and Safety Management System. This system allows Gulliver and
their contractors to ensure each employee has the appropriate competencies and training
for their specific responsibilities on site.
Operators and employees will be made aware of the Spill Response Procedure outlined in
Section 8 and will undertake a testing exercise as outlined in Section 8.1.1.
7.5 Monitoring, Auditing, Management of Non-
Conformance, and Review
Environmental monitoring and auditing will be undertaken by Gulliver in accordance with
the PGE(E)R and the Onshore Schedule, and the Schedule of Geothermal Exploration and
Production Requirements 2009. In addition, the requirements under the PGER Act.
Gulliver commits to participating regularly in internal monitoring, auditing and inspections
to assess environmental performance and compliance, and to review the effectiveness of
the environmental management system.
7.5.1 Monitoring
Monitoring and inspections will be undertaken on a routine and opportunistic basis for
reporting requirements include the following:
• Unplanned impacts (incidents) outside of routine operations
• Planned impacts
• Routine site inspections carried out by contractors crosschecking procedures, forms
and schedules where appropriate, to ensure all mitigation measures and
implementation strategies are being upheld and implemented on site.
7.5.2 Auditing & Management of Non-Conformance
Internal environmental auditing is required under Regulation 15(6) of the PGE(E)R, which
requires operators to have an EP that contains an implementation strategy that includes
monitoring, auditing and management of non-compliance and performance. Results from
3238AB Environment Plan EP104 and R1 Canning Basin
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 33
these audits will be used in the annual or closeout reporting for the activity, to demonstrate
compliance with the approved EP. Auditing of the geochemical survey will be undertaken
by Gulliver’s Operations Manager or delegate in accordance with Gulliver’s Audit and
Inspection Procedure (RLS_CMS_PRO_004).
During the audit, the findings will be recorded on the Internal Audit and Inspection
Observation Form (RLS_CMS_FRM_004) by the auditor. Upon completion of the audit,
the auditor is required to review the findings and categorise each item under one of the
following:
• Major non-conformance – A non-conformance that indicates an aspect of the
management system is non-existent or not being utilised, may affect the services
provided to clients, or multiple instances of the same minor non-conformance
indicating a systematic failure. Issues must be rectified within 30 days
• Minor non-conformance – A non-conformance that is not likely to cause the failure of
the management system, or a single observed lapse in procedures or processes.
Issues must be rectified within 90 days
• Observation – A situation or condition of an aspect of the management system that
may be weak, cumbersome, redundant or overly complex. Observations do not
require action, however should be taken seriously by management to allow for
continual improvement in the process.
7.5.3 Review
An audit summary report will be prepared by the internal auditor, using the official Internal
Report Form (RLS_CMS_FRM_003). The summary should comment generally on the
degree of conformance identified, itemise any findings raised during the audit, and at the
auditor’s discretion, make recommendations for corrective action and/or improvements.
The audit summary report shall be discussed with management and be retained and filed
appropriately. Further information raised within the audit summary meeting or report may
then be entered into the Event and Feedback Register (RLS_CMS_PRO_007).
7.6 Record Keeping
Gulliver will manage a number of internal auditing and reporting systems for relevant
activities undertaken within the well sites and surrounding infrastructure during surveying
and mobilisation. These include:
• Induction and Training Register (RLS_CMS_REG_006)
• Audit and Inspection Register (RLS_CMS_REG_008)
• Event and Feedback Register (RLS_CMS_REG_002)
• Stakeholder Engagement Register (RLS_CMS_REG_007)
• RLS Internal Auditing Reports

Oil Spill Contingency Plan (Regulation
15(10))
No drilling is proposed at the site and therefore an Oil Spill Contingency Plan (OSCP) is
not required.
The only potential hydrocarbon spill risk is from the fuel tank of the light vehicle. Pre-start
inspections of the vehicle will be undertaken before every use and spill kits will be provided
on the vehicle and all personnel will be inducted before entering site to ensure hydrocarbon
management and safety (refer Section 5).
If a hydrocarbon spill occurs, the Spill Response Procedure (RLS_CMS_PRO_011_Rev_1)
will be followed (Appendix C).
8.1 Credible Spill Scenario
The maximum fuel tank capacity of the light vehicle is 180 litres of diesel fuel. All re-
fuelling will be undertaken offsite and at a commercial fuel station in Derby. Therefore,
the only credible spill scenario is a diesel spill whilst accessing the site and the maximum
credible volume is 180 litres (~0.2m³).
It is extremely unlikely that the entire tank of fuel will spill at one time. The dirt/gravel
tracks are relatively well maintained and are likely to absorb a large majority of the spill
before it flows from the impact site. Portions of the tracks extend into the mud tidal flat
areas; the operator will walk these portions of the tracks to avoid spills in the tidal areas
(Figure 1). Additionally, activities will not be undertaken during cyclone or rainy seasons
nor during high tide events, so the potential for a spill to travel much further from the
impact zone is minimal. Given this, the maximum credible scenario extent of a spill is not
expected to exceed 5-6 m² and to a depth of 200-300 mm. Therefore the approximate
clean up volume required would be 11 m³.
8.1.1 Testing the OSCP
Testing of the oil spill response procedure (or OSCP) will include a desktop exercise prior
to any Geochemical Survey being undertaken (i.e. when introduced). The testing exercise
will include contacting the nominated third-party contacts and emergency services to
ensure their details are correct, to confirm their availability, and to debrief them of the
required spill response (timing, locations, machinery, expertise etc.). The exercise will also
test the details of regulators (DMIRS) to ensure they are the correct and most up to date
details for reporting requirements.
8.2 Spill Response Procedure
Gulliver’s spill response procedure is outlined in detail in Appendix C. Definitions of spill
levels (minor, moderate, major) are outlined in Appendix C. The maximum credible spill
3238AB Environment Plan EP104 and R1 Canning Basin
Gulliver Productions Pty Ltd
360 Environmental Pty Ltd 36
scenario for the Geochemical Survey would require a ‘Minor to Moderate Spill’ response
which is as follows:
• Personnel must immediately obtain the emergency response clean ‐
up/containment kit
• Contain spread by constructing a bund around the spill area (i.e. with rocks or
sand)
• For ground spills, use spill kit material to absorb maximum amount of fluid possible,
then transfer fluid soaked materials into plastic contaminated waste bags
• Use a shovel to dig up and remove any contaminated sand, gravel or rocks and
also transfer into plastic contaminated waste bags
• Label all plastic contaminated waste bags with type and estimated quantity of spilt
material, place in the designated contaminated soils / solid waste bags, and
removed off site to a licensed facility after the survey is complete
• Restore the terrain to its original condition (using earth-moving equipment to back
blade the site, or shovels to fill in any holes as required)
Mobile transport spill kits, shovels and large bags will be located on the light vehicle and
will have the capability to clean up a credible maximum spill (180 litres). The spill kits will
be effective on fuels, oils, and hydraulic fluids and will meet approved standards pertaining
to the handling, storage, clean up and disposal of Dangerous Goods and Hazardous
Substances.
The mobile spill kit will contain the following (or similar):
• Spill Kit Bag
• KleenSweep bag (powered absorbents)
• Absorbent Pad
• Oil Sock
• Nitrile Gloves (disposable)
• Waste Disposable Bags
• Cable Tie
• Instruction Card
During the geochemical activities’ audits and inspections of the mobile spill kits will be
undertaken by the operator in order to ensure that kits are complete, located on the vehicle
and ready for use in case of a spill. Audits and inspections of spill kits will also be
undertaken by the operator following any spill incidents.
The incidents register will be updated to record all spill events and the clean-up method
used and receipts of waste acceptance from licenced facilities will be recorded to show
evidence of clean up. Inspection reports will be kept and maintained in Rey’s Inspection
and Audit Register (RLS_CMS_REG_008).
Gulliver’s management will ensure any hydrocarbon or chemical spills are reported to the
appropriate contacts within the DMIRS, in accordance with Section 9.3.

• Corrective actions proposed to prevent recurrence of further or similar incidents.
Possible reportable incidents as a result of the proposed activity (geochemical survey)
includes the following:
• Hydrocarbon spills (diesel from light vehicle).
• According to the (then) DMP (Resources Safety) Reporting dangerous goods
incidents – Guideline 6th Edition, a loss not contained on site for a C1 combustible
liquids (diesel) of 100 litres is required to be reported.
The Site Supervisor must maintain the incident reporting system to minimise
environmental harm and to encourage the prevention of more serious incidents. All
personnel are encouraged to report all events as a means of alerting environmental risks
and maintaining a program of continual improvement.
9.3.2 Recordable Incidents
Recordable incidents are those which breach an environmental performance objective or
environmental performance standard defined in the Environment Plan and is not a
reportable incident and must be reported to DMIRS.
Recordable incidents include, but are not limited to:
• Introduction or spread of listed weed species
• Excessive erosion
• Fauna deaths
• Noise disturbances to neighbouring properties
• Disturbance to existing native vegetation
• Unacceptable reinstatement following site inspection activities.
Under Regulation 30 of the PGER(E)R, a copy of DMIRS’ Recordable Environmental
Incident Report Form listing all recordable incidents each month will be completed by
Gulliver and submitted to DMIRS (petroleum.environment@dmirs.wa.gov.au) as soon as
practicable, and within 15 days after the end of the month to which it relates.
The report will include details of any recordable incidents, including:

9.4 Emissions and Discharges Reports
Regulation 34 of the PGER(E)R requires the monitoring and reporting of all emissions and
discharges to any land, air, or surface water/groundwater environment. Gulliver will
provide a written report detailing all emissions and discharges that occur during the
surveying activities. This report must be submitted to DMIRS within 15 days from when
the surveying is completed.
The report will address any emissions or discharges during the survey, including but not
limited to:
• Vehicle and equipment emissions
• Details of any emission resulting from environmental incidents such as spills
• Waste; including general, hazardous and recyclable.
The only proposed activity in this EP is Geochemical Survey which involves one light vehicle
driving over a period of three days. Therefore, combustion of fuel to power the vehicle is
the only anticipated reportable item.
Gulliver does not anticipate emissions resulting from the survey activities will met the
National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting (NGER) Act requirements. Fuel consumption
will be recorded as atmospheric emission estimates (CO2e-) from fuel usage (based on
the NGER threshold estimator) (Clean Energy Regulator 2019).
Any unplanned emissions (e.g. hydrocarbon spills as per Table 13 above) will be reported
to DMIRS as an incident report.

Stakeholder Engagement (Regulation 17)
A formal Stakeholder Engagement Register (RLS_CMS_REG_007) and Stakeholder
Engagement Plan (RLS_CMS_REG_001) have been prepared to undertake and maintain
a structured format for ongoing consultation associated with the geochemical surveying
tasks.
10.1 Principles of Stakeholder Engagement
Gulliver will provide all necessary stakeholders with a fair timeframe to review, consider
and respond to the project information. Throughout this strategy, Gulliver will consider and
apply the Principles of Stakeholder Engagement from the Ministerial Council on mineral
and Petroleum Resources (MCMPR) Principles for Engagement with Communities and
Stakeholders (2005). These principles include; Communication, Transparency,
Collaboration, Inclusiveness and Integrity.
10.2 Targeted Community and Stakeholder
Engagement Strategy
Gulliver recognises the low impact level of the geochemical survey and will tailor the
stakeholder engagement strategy to suit. Key potential stakeholders have been identified
in the table below (Table 14). Gulliver will modify the strategy should any change arise in
the activities and or the needs of the interested stakeholders.
10.3 Potential Stakeholders
In accordance with Regulation 17 of PGER(E)R, Gulliver Resources consider the
stakeholders outlined in Table 14 to be relevant to the activities within this EP.

Police and Emergency
Services
Generally, the activities associated with the
geochemical survey are reasonably remote and
therefore local authorities will be made aware
of locations in case of emergency. As per Rey’s
internal stakeholder engagement plan, the WA
police and local emergency services will be
contacted 2-6 weeks prior to the planned
activities. They will be notified of the areas and
duration of activities and the internal safety
management systems.
Yes
Padilpa-1 well Padilpa-1 well is located 6 km north west of the
Geochemical Survey activity area. It is unlikely
that Rey’s activities will interfere with Padilpa-1
area. Records of the well state it is plugged
and abandoned and therefore it is unlikely that
there will be activity at that well.

10.5 Ongoing Engagement (Post Approval)
Due to the nature and low impact scale of the surveying activities, the level of ongoing
consultation is planned to be minimal. Gulliver commits to providing updates to
stakeholders where planned activities differ from those outlined in this EP including
changes to proposal and notification of significant aspects of the surveying.
This also provides a platform for ongoing stakeholder communication with Gulliver
regarding concerns, feedback and queries, and Gulliver commits to keeping DMP informed
with any significant concerns raised.
10.6 Recording Stakeholder Engagement
All consultation and engagement undertaken for the proposed Geochemical Survey
activities under this EP will be recorded in the Stakeholder Engagement Register
(RLS_CMS_REG_007).
The register will include the following details of each engagement:
• Date of consultation and timeframe provided for response
• Person, department, or organisation consulted (position, branch, company etc.)
• Method of consultation (i.e. meeting [minutes], letter, email)
• A summary of the information provided

Level Definition
Minor spill Spill contaminates the surface of the ground not in excess of 0.50 m2 in area and 0.50 cm
in depth. The spill can be effectively contained and cleaned up by a single department or
team using the containment kit, plastic packets and / or a pressure hose.
Moderate spill A spill that would require the assistance of other departments or teams to contain and
clean up (i.e. use of additional clean up kits, personnel or equipment).
Major spill A spill that cannot effectively be contained or cleaned up with the resources available on-
site. External contractor or emergency services help is required.
5 . 0 P R O C E D U R E
5.1 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
Immediate action by all personnel in the event of a spill is containment to the best of their ability given
equipment available to them, and as long as there is no risk to safety. Containment must be attempted prior
to any other actions, including notification.
The first point of contact for all staff reporting a spill is the Site Supervisor. Depending on the severity of the
incident, RLS management may also be contacted.
The Site Supervisor (or most senior person on-site at the time of the spill) assesses the spill to determine
severity and implements the appropriate response according the clean-up response (i.e. ‘minor to moderate
spill pathway’ clean-up process or ‘major spill pathway’ clean-up process).
When containing and cleaning up spills, personnel are to ensure all safety precautions are in place i.e. PPE,
chemical PVC gloves, and ensuring fire extinguishers are readily available, no one is smoking and all vehicle
engines are switched off.
All efforts must be aimed at rapidly deploying the containment kit and/or sand so as to reduce the spillage area
as much as possible, and always work up hill and up wind from the spill.
Following any spill, every effort should be made to restore the affected area to its original condition, ensuring
all contaminants are removed and disposed of correctly.
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE
RLS_CMS_PRO_011_Rev_1
Page 3 of 5
5.2 MINOR TO MODERATE SPILLS
In the event of a minor to moderate spill:
• Personnel must immediately obtain the emergency response clean‐up/containment kit
• Contain spread by constructing a bund around the spill area (i.e. with socks or sand)
• For ground spills, use spill material to absorb maximum amount of fluid possible, then transfer fluid-
soaked materials into plastic contaminated waste bags
• Use a shovel to dig up and remove any contaminated sand, gravel or rocks and also transfer into plastic
contaminated waste bags
• Label all plastic contaminated waste bags with type and estimated quantity of spilt material, then bring
back to camp and place in the designated contaminated soils, solid waste bins
• Restore the terrain to its original condition (using earth-moving equipment to back blade the site, or
shovels to fill in any holes as required).
5.3 MAJOR SPILLS
In the event of a major spill:
• Cordon off the area and make it safe
• If on a major road, immediately call the local police and/or Emergency Services so that they may
control the scene and coordinate the clean‐up, and also advise of the most appropriate action prior to
their arrival
• If an associated fire hazard, evacuate the area immediately to a minimum distance of 500 m and await
the arrival of the Emergency Services
• Until the police or Emergency Services arrive, the Site Supervisor and/or most senior staff member at
the site of the spill will be in charge of the scene, assigning personnel/resources to area as necessary
• Personnel should be safely positioned to warn, slow down, and if necessary redirect traffic around the
hazard pending the arrival of Emergency Services or Police
• Vehicles are to be parked on the side of the road, uphill and up‐wind, well away from the spill, with
beacon lights and emergency hazard lights on
• A licensed third party will undertake the spill clean‐up, with the assistance of site crew, as required.
