Forward Looking Statements

This presentation may contain certain forward looking statements and projections regarding:

estimated, resources and reserves;

planned production and operating costs profiles;

planned capital requirements; and

planned strategies and corporate objectives.

Such forward looking statements/projections are estimates for discussion purposes only and should not be relied upon. They are not

guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors many of which are beyond the control

This Mineral Resource estimate for the Okvau Gold project was prepared by Robin Simpson of SRK Consulting (Australasia) Ltd. Mr

Simpson is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists (AIG), and has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation

and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined by the 2004

edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves". Mr Simpson consents to the

inclusion of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. It has not updated since to comply with the

JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

The information in this report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr Nick Franey, a full time employee of

the company and who is a Member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Nick Franey has sufficient experience which is

relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a

Entire ‘open pit’ resource categorised as ‘Indicated’

Notes:

•The resource is reported at a lower cut-off grade of 0.65g/t gold to

approximately 300 metres vertical depth (-150mRL)

•The resource is reported at a zero lower cut-off beneath 300 metres

vertical depth (-150mRL) as the volume of this component was

already restricted to a 2.0g/t gold grade shell and this material is

more likely to be extracted by underground mining
