<strong>Polymetals</strong> Mining Limited and Southern Cross Goldfields Limited<br />

Technical Specialist's Report<br />

T1<br />

T1 is located in a favourable structural positi<strong>on</strong> <strong>with</strong>in the Mallina Shear system and al<strong>on</strong>g strike from Mt<br />

Berghaus near the Mt Dove granitoid. It is characterised by a discrete magnetic high. Limited AC drilling by<br />

De Grey Mining returned best results <strong>of</strong> 1 m at 10.2 g/t Au and 2 m at 5.22 g/t Au.<br />

3.2.2.6 Turner River Gold Project Valuati<strong>on</strong><br />

The Turner River gold project was the subject <strong>of</strong> a farm-in arrangement between Landsdowne Resources<br />

Pty Ltd (Landsdowne) and De Grey Mining Ltd (De Grey) whereby Landsdowne could earn a 75% interest in<br />

the tenements by spending $2M over three years. <strong>Polymetals</strong> acquired Lansdowne in September 2012 and<br />

completed the farm-in expenditure in March 2013. The joint venture terms valuati<strong>on</strong> method indicates a<br />

value <strong>of</strong> the vendor’s interest at $0.61M at the time <strong>of</strong> the agreement, although a payment <strong>of</strong> $4.1M to the<br />

vendor is required <strong>on</strong> a decisi<strong>on</strong> to mine the Wingina Well Mineral Resource.<br />

<strong>Polymetals</strong> has completed the farm-in expenditure and holds 75% <strong>of</strong> the rights in these tenements.<br />

The development and evaluati<strong>on</strong> work c<strong>on</strong>ducted by <strong>Polymetals</strong> <strong>on</strong> the Turner River gold project are<br />

preliminary in nature and do not support a detailed producti<strong>on</strong> scenario and DCF valuati<strong>on</strong>.<br />

AMC examined transacti<strong>on</strong>s for tenements c<strong>on</strong>taining gold Mineral Resources that occurred between 2010<br />

and 2013. These transacti<strong>on</strong>s define a range <strong>of</strong> yardstick values. Transacti<strong>on</strong>s in 2012 and 2013 have<br />

tended to indicate lower values per ounce than in 2010 and 2011. AMC has c<strong>on</strong>sidered this in developing<br />

ranges <strong>of</strong> values for tenements c<strong>on</strong>taining Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources as follows:<br />

• Measured Resource: $18/oz to $25/oz.<br />

• Indicated Resource: $11/oz to $18/oz.<br />

• Inferred Resource: $4/oz to $11/oz.<br />

Applying these yardstick values to the Turner River gold project indicates a value <strong>of</strong> $2.9M to $4.7M for<br />

<strong>Polymetals</strong> 75% interest using this method. As this is a valuati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the current status <strong>of</strong> the property AMC<br />

has not factored in producti<strong>on</strong> royalties or future payments.<br />

AMC examined a number <strong>of</strong> transacti<strong>on</strong>s that indicate a value per unit area. These transacti<strong>on</strong>s indicate a<br />

wide range <strong>of</strong> values, depending <strong>on</strong> the tenement locati<strong>on</strong>, level <strong>of</strong> explorati<strong>on</strong> activity and the occurrence <strong>of</strong><br />

Mineral Resources. AMC c<strong>on</strong>siders a range <strong>of</strong> $2,000/km 2 to $6,000/km 2 to be appropriate for the Turner<br />

River gold project. This indicates a value <strong>of</strong> $1.2M to $3.7M for <strong>Polymetals</strong> 75% interest using this method.<br />

In AMC’s opini<strong>on</strong> the Turner River project is not sufficiently advanced to allow a DCF evaluati<strong>on</strong> method to<br />

be undertaken.<br />

C<strong>on</strong>sidering these methods, AMC values the Turner River gold project tenements between $2.1M and<br />

$4.2M.<br />

3.2.3 Turner River Base Metals Project<br />

The Turner River base metals project is located <strong>on</strong> two explorati<strong>on</strong> licences covering 95 km 2 located about<br />

60 km south-south-east <strong>of</strong> Port Hedland. The tenements were the subject <strong>of</strong> a farm-in arrangement between<br />

Landsdowne (now <strong>Polymetals</strong>) and De Grey whereby Landsdowne could earn a 75% interest in the<br />

tenements by spending $1.5M over three years.<br />

The Turner River base metal Mineral Resources are listed in Table 3.7.<br />
