The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral

Resources is based on information compiled by John Anderson (BSc(Hons)Geol)

who is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and is bound

by and follows the Institute’s codes and recommended practices. Mr Anderson is a

full-time employee of Investigator Resources Limited. He has sufficient experience

which is relevant to the styles of mineralisation and types of deposits under

consideration and to the activities being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person

as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration

Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr. Anderson consents to the

inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context

in which it appears.
