Drill intersections in the Iron Duke prospect adjacent to the open pit at Mt Carbine. Governance and Internal Controls The Company has followed the practice of obtaining independent, geostatistically based estimates of resources, which themselves have been independently audited. These estimates have been qualified in-house where geometallurgical research, economic modelling involving mine and processing studies and/or reconciliations of historical mine data justify modification. The prime concern in this deposit is the extreme nugget character of the mineralisation and in this respect, considerable confidence is placed on existing resource estimates that they are (a) conservative with respect to grade estimation, and (b) that the previous mine operation and a nearly complete set of records of this operation document what is in effect a 10Mt bulk sample of the ore body. Competent Person Statement a. The above Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by competent persons; and b. The information in this document relating to Exploration Targets and Mineral Resources is based on information compiled by Dr Andrew White, who is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and principal consultant for Andrew White & Associates. Dr White has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation, mining and processing the type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (the JORC code). Dr White consents to the inclusion of matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears in this Annual Report. Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement continued
