• Geophysics continued in Q1 focused on the southern boundary of the tenement within the ‘mine corridor’ to define drill targets employing:

- Induced Polarisation

- Electromagnetics

- Seismic Reflection

• New targets have been generated for further drill testing.

DIAMOND DRILLING Q1 2012 • Drilling in the quarter mainly

followed up geophysical signatures identified in 2011 with a continued focus in the ‘mine corridor’.

• 5 – 6 rigs deployed across near mine, regional and IMX JV ground.

• Several new targets tested.

• Prospects being followed up.

• Multiple untested targets remain.
