Technical Specialist's Report<br />
3.2.2.1 Resources<br />
Mineral Resources for the Turner River Gold Project at 13 March 2013 are listed in Table 3.6. AMC has<br />
independently reported the total t<strong>on</strong>nes and grade <strong>of</strong> each Mineral Resource estimate and found no material<br />
differences when compared to the total t<strong>on</strong>nes and grade reported at 13 March 2013.<br />

As reported by <strong>Polymetals</strong> Mining Ltd, March 2013. 458 drillholes. Ordinary Kriging.<br />
Resource estimati<strong>on</strong> by Ravensgate, February 2012.125 drillholes. Ordinary Kriging. Verified by <strong>Polymetals</strong>.<br />
Resource estimati<strong>on</strong> by Ravensgate, March 2012. 248 drillholes. Ordinary Kriging. Verified by <strong>Polymetals</strong>.<br />
The resource estimates are based mostly <strong>on</strong> diam<strong>on</strong>d and reverse circulati<strong>on</strong> (RC) drilling. Minor air core<br />
(AC) drilling has been included in the Wingina Well resource.<br />
Drilling completed by <strong>Polymetals</strong> at Wingina Well in 2012 was carried out using comm<strong>on</strong> industry practice<br />
<strong>with</strong> assay quality c<strong>on</strong>trol in place. Drillhole collars are surveyed and downhole surveys are carried out.<br />
Details <strong>of</strong> drilling data quality (sample preparati<strong>on</strong>, assay quality c<strong>on</strong>trol, drillhole collar and downhole<br />
surveying) for the Amanda and Mt Berghaus resource estimates are very limited.<br />
The interpretati<strong>on</strong>s for the resource estimates were developed relying <strong>on</strong> drillhole logging and based <strong>on</strong><br />
lithological c<strong>on</strong>trol. A nominal lower cut <strong>of</strong>f grade <strong>of</strong> 0.5 g/t Au was used to interpret the Amanda and Mt<br />
Berghaus mineralisati<strong>on</strong>, and a nominal lower COG <strong>of</strong> 0.3 g/t Au was used to interpret the Wingina Well<br />
mineralisati<strong>on</strong>.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> the deposits have a number <strong>of</strong> mineralised domains. Assays <strong>with</strong>in the domains were composited to<br />
1 m. The influence <strong>of</strong> statistical outliers <strong>on</strong> grade estimati<strong>on</strong> was limited through top cutting or by restricting<br />
the distance <strong>of</strong> influence <strong>of</strong> the outliers. Grades were estimated into the block models using OK. Estimati<strong>on</strong><br />
parameters for Wingina Well were determined from a study <strong>of</strong> variography. Details <strong>of</strong> variography and<br />
estimati<strong>on</strong> parameters for Amanda and Mt Berghaus are poorly documented.<br />
Densities for Wingina Well were derived from downhole gamma and diam<strong>on</strong>d core measurements and were<br />
assigned by weathering state. Densities for the Wingina Well estimate were 2.1 t/m 3 in oxide, 2.4 t/m 3 in<br />
transiti<strong>on</strong>al and 2.6 t/m 3 in fresh rock. Densities for Amanda and Mt Berghaus were selected <strong>on</strong> the basis <strong>of</strong><br />
typical weathering domains <strong>with</strong>in sediment hosted deposits. The method <strong>of</strong> assignment (by weathering<br />
surface or elevati<strong>on</strong>) was not specified. Densities for the Amanda and Mt Berghaus estimates were 2.4 t/m 3<br />
in oxide, 2.6 t/m 3 in transiti<strong>on</strong>al and 2.8 t/m 3 in fresh rock.<br />
Resource estimates were classified as Measured, Indicated or Inferred Resource based <strong>on</strong> data density and<br />
quality, drill spacing, and geological c<strong>on</strong>fidence in resource domain c<strong>on</strong>tinuity. Mineral Resources are<br />
reported <strong>with</strong> Ore Reserves excluded.<br />
AMC c<strong>on</strong>siders that the Turner River Gold Project Mineral Resource estimates were prepared using<br />
accepted industry practice and have been classified in accordance <strong>with</strong> the JORC Code.<br />
3.2.2.2 Mining<br />
<strong>Polymetals</strong> engaged Australian Mine Design and Development Pty Ltd (AMDAD) to undertake a pit<br />
optimisati<strong>on</strong> study for the Turner River Gold project utilising the Mineral Resources at Wingina, Amanda and<br />
