Mineral Resources at Lord Henry are reported at a 0.8 g/t Au COG and for Lord Nels<strong>on</strong> and Two Mile Hill at<br />

0.5 g/t Au COG.<br />

Rotary air blast (RAB) and air core (AC) drilling have been used for explorati<strong>on</strong> sampling but data from these<br />

drillhole types are not used in resource estimati<strong>on</strong>. Reverse circulati<strong>on</strong> (RC) is the main drilling method used<br />

for resource estimati<strong>on</strong> in associati<strong>on</strong> <strong>with</strong> some diam<strong>on</strong>d drilling.<br />

Drilling has been completed using accepted industry practices. Drillhole collars are surveyed and drillholes<br />

are surveyed downhole. Samples and diam<strong>on</strong>d drill core are geologically logged. Resource definiti<strong>on</strong> RC<br />

drillholes are sampled at 1 m intervals. Diam<strong>on</strong>d drill core is sampled at 1 m intervals respecting geological<br />

variati<strong>on</strong>s and cut using diam<strong>on</strong>d saws <strong>with</strong> half core submitted for assay.<br />

Sample assaying is undertaken by independent laboratories. Gold c<strong>on</strong>tent is determined by acid digest and<br />

fire assay. Field duplicates, blanks and certified reference materials are submitted to m<strong>on</strong>itor assay quality<br />

The Lord Henry and Lord Nels<strong>on</strong> resource estimates have been developed <strong>with</strong>in an interpretati<strong>on</strong> guided by<br />

a 0.2 g/t Au COG and geological logging. The estimates are c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al block models <strong>with</strong> grade estimated<br />

using OK <strong>with</strong> estimati<strong>on</strong> parameters determined from a study <strong>of</strong> variography. Bulk densities were assigned<br />

based <strong>on</strong> mean values for oxide, transiti<strong>on</strong> and fresh rock. The resource estimates are classified as<br />

Indicated and Inferred Resources based <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>fidence in the geological and grade c<strong>on</strong>tinuity reflecting<br />

drillhole spacing. The Mineral Resources are reported at a 1 g/t Au COG.<br />

The Two Mile Hill resource estimate is based <strong>on</strong> interpretati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> distributi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the t<strong>on</strong>alite from drillhole<br />

geological data. The estimate is a c<strong>on</strong>venti<strong>on</strong>al block model <strong>with</strong> grade estimated using OK <strong>with</strong> estimati<strong>on</strong><br />

parameters determined from a study <strong>of</strong> variography. Bulk densities were assigned based <strong>on</strong> mean values for<br />

oxide and fresh rock. The estimate has been classified as Inferred Resource reflecting the drillhole spacing.<br />

The Mineral Resources are reported at a 0.5 g/t Au COG.<br />
