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

Technical Specialist's Report<br />

4.1.4.2 Dulcie Gold Project<br />

In the March 2012 Quarter Southern Cross entered into a formal sale agreement <strong>with</strong> a private c<strong>on</strong>sortium<br />

for the sale <strong>of</strong> the Dulcie Gold Project and related tenements for a c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> $1M in cash plus a 5%<br />

gross royalty <strong>on</strong> future producti<strong>on</strong>. Payments relating to the sale were received in the June 2012 Quarter.<br />

4.1.4.3 Western Areas NL (Southern Cross 30% Nickel Interest, 100% N<strong>on</strong>-nickel Interest)<br />

In August 2011, Southern Cross entered into an agreement <strong>with</strong> Western Areas NL whereby Western Areas<br />

NL acquired 70% <strong>of</strong> Southern Cross’s nickel rights across much <strong>of</strong> Southern Cross’s tenement package. The<br />

agreement excluded some tenements including the tenements at the Copper Bore Project and the N<strong>on</strong>-ir<strong>on</strong><br />

Rights <strong>on</strong> Radar Ir<strong>on</strong>’s tenement.<br />

Previous explorati<strong>on</strong> undertaken identified multiple nickel sulphide targets, including a 66 km strike length<br />

<strong>with</strong> known favourable nickel sulphide olivine cumulate host rocks.<br />

4.1.5 Explorati<strong>on</strong><br />

4.1.5.1 Gold<br />

Review <strong>of</strong> regi<strong>on</strong>al explorati<strong>on</strong> in 2011-2012 identified high priority targets al<strong>on</strong>g the Evanst<strong>on</strong> Shear Z<strong>on</strong>e<br />

and Andromeda Trend. Auger drilling tested priority targets identified in the review, particularly a largely<br />

undrilled gold trend extending over a strike length <strong>of</strong> 30 km.<br />

Southern Cross advises that further auger drilling is currently in progress.<br />

4.1.5.2 Red Boomerang<br />

The Red Boomerang prospect lies al<strong>on</strong>g the Evanst<strong>on</strong> Shear Z<strong>on</strong>e. Previous drilling intersected<br />

porphyry-hosted mineralisati<strong>on</strong> including 6 m at 23.8 g/t Au and 11 m at 4.7 g/t Au. Four lines <strong>of</strong> auger<br />

drilling was c<strong>on</strong>ducted over a 2 km strike at 400 m spacing, and defined a +100 ppb Au anomaly extending<br />

over a strike length <strong>of</strong> 1.3 km.<br />

4.1.5.3 Lancelot<br />

The Lancelot prospect lies al<strong>on</strong>g the Evanst<strong>on</strong> Shear Z<strong>on</strong>e, immediately north <strong>of</strong> the Gwendolyn tenement<br />

(Vector Resources). Auger drilling returned results <strong>of</strong> up to 3,000 ppb Au. Subsequent auger drilling at 40 m<br />

centres al<strong>on</strong>g 200 m to 800 m spaced lines c<strong>on</strong>firm a semi-c<strong>on</strong>tinuous 5 km l<strong>on</strong>g anomaly greater than<br />

40 ppb Au al<strong>on</strong>g the main trend between Lancelot and Gwendolyn. These results build <strong>on</strong> previous RC<br />

drilling which returned results including 4 m at 17.36 g/t Au, 5 m at 6.13 g/t Au, and 4 m at 2.80 g/t Au.<br />

4.1.5.4 White Pointer<br />

The White Pointer prospect is approximately 40 km north-west <strong>of</strong> the proposed gold treatment facility at<br />

Marda and 500 m north-west <strong>of</strong> Red Boomerang. A gold anomaly has been defined by auger drilling at 40<br />

centres al<strong>on</strong>g 200 m spaced lines. The anomaly is defined by values <strong>of</strong> +40 ppb Au has been identified over<br />

a strike length <strong>of</strong> 2.2 km <strong>with</strong> a +100 ppb Au core over 1 km.<br />

4.1.5.5 Thresher<br />

The Thresher prospect is approximately 60 km north-west <strong>of</strong> the proposed gold treatment facility at Marda.<br />

This prospect lies close to the Evanst<strong>on</strong> Shear Z<strong>on</strong>e and parallel to an adjacent magnetic unit. A gold<br />

anomaly defined by values <strong>of</strong> +40 ppb Au has been identified over a strike length <strong>of</strong> 800 m <strong>with</strong> a +100 ppb<br />

Au core over 400 m.<br />

4.1.5.6 Copper Bore<br />

Auger drilling was c<strong>on</strong>ducted during February 2012 to test for anomalous mineralisati<strong>on</strong> at the Copper Bore<br />

trend and extensi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> to the south <strong>of</strong> Southern Gossan. The drilling identified anomalous grades up to 652<br />
