Schedule 1 – Informati<strong>on</strong> about the Merged Group<br />
1. Proposed activities and strategic directi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Merged Group<br />
The Merged Group will own 100% <strong>of</strong> the Marda Gold Project and the Mt Boppy Gold<br />
Project, and have a significant portfolio <strong>of</strong> explorati<strong>on</strong> tenements in Australia. If the <strong>Merger</strong><br />
proceeds, the primary intenti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Merged Group is to progress regulatory approvals<br />
and financing for the development <strong>of</strong> the Marda Gold Project.<br />
It is anticipated that these approvals will be gained in the third quarter <strong>of</strong> 2013, <strong>with</strong> project<br />
c<strong>on</strong>structi<strong>on</strong> activity to commence immediately thereafter. Producti<strong>on</strong> from the Marda Gold<br />
Project is expected to commence in the sec<strong>on</strong>d half <strong>of</strong> 2014.<br />
The Mt Boppy Project will be prioritised for development as sufficient cash reserves<br />
become available and in c<strong>on</strong>siderati<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> other opportunities for gold or base metals<br />
producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>with</strong>in the Merged Group.<br />
Decisi<strong>on</strong>s relating to these activities will be made by the Board in light <strong>of</strong> material<br />
informati<strong>on</strong> and circumstances available at the relevant time. As such these are current<br />
intenti<strong>on</strong>s <strong>on</strong>ly and may change as new informati<strong>on</strong> arises or circumstances dictate.<br />
