4. Building Momentum…
4
In the last 2 years…
– >4-fold increase in contained ounces
– Implemented a modern exploration organization
Deposit is open in all directions
Successfully mapping high grade shoots
“C” veinlets, a game changer…
– Reduce dilution
– Stand-alone ounces?
Big trend & proven exploration method
(prospecting > soil sampling > drilling)
Clear strategy, competent team

>4-fold increase in contained ounces
Built an understanding of our resource and
successfully targeted high grade shoots at depth
“C” veinlet swarms, a game changer…
– Reduce dilution
– Stand-alone ounces?
– Potential for alternative mining methods
Proven potential outside along strike
Developed clear strategy, competent team
& proven exploration toolkit

20. Exploration Plan
20
Step-out drilling to target shallow
ounces along strike
Target high grade shoots at depth
Complete re-evaluation of the deposit
– Relog ~ 30 km of core
– New sectional interpretation /
wireframes
Infill drilling where warranted
Test existing trend & regional targets
e.g. Fallagh, Alwories
– Prospecting, Soil geochemistry
– Drilling
