Currently it is the Author’s opinion that exploration potential exists for a further 500 Million

sampling, followed by more detailed target definition (gridding, mapping, geochemistry,
geophysics) is required. Further drilling around the rim of the known Porphyry resource area
would lead to an increase in the resource estimates and a higher level of confidence in the
