Iron Blow Resource – High value asset
Zinc rich massive sulphides with considerable gold and silver mineralisation
Resource is amenable to open pit mining methods
Existing resource upside: ― Additional gold-rich zones identified outside
boundaries of existing resource ― Limited deeper drilling, open ― 100% owned, granted MLs, no environmental
liability, close to infrastructure

See ASX release 3 November 2014 for details, ‘High Grade Mineral Resource Estimate for Iron Blow Deposit’, where further details are provided. All material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the resource estimate announced on 3 November 2014 continue to apply and have not materially changed. Results of drilling by Phoenix Copper since October 2014 have not been included in the resource estimate but if they were, they would not likely have a material change on the October 2014 resource estimate.

Iron Blow – Diagnostic metallurgical tests Bulk & differential rougher flotation tests
completed using standard non-optimised chemical regime
Zinc sulphides well liberated with excellent recoveries (>80% recovery at >35% grades)
Excellent early stage results for silver & gold Silver concentrate grades up to 400ppm
and recoveries of up to 75% Gold concentrate grades over 7g/t using
non-specific collectors with up to 65% recovery
>77% of the mass rejected to tails including a substantial amount of deleterious elements
Optimisation test work underway to maximise recoveries and grades
Development of flow sheet for economic recovery of zinc, gold and silver

Burnside Exploration – Thunderball North Located 3.5km to the west of the
Hayes Creek project Two discrete anomalous zones with
high gold in soils (T1 and T2) ― T1 – Mineralisation associated with
zone of intense veining, 500m strike length within anticlinal fold hinge
― Soils analysis up to 2.5g/t Au & up to 6.7g/t in rock chips in close proximity to TPCRC066 - 12m @ 4.7 g/t Au
― T2 – Target >350m in length, values up to 9g/t Au in rock chips
Location and evidence of gold mineralisation in soils analysis, rock chips and drill core makes this a compelling target
Aim to drill test targets in 2016

Summary
Aim to define sufficient resources during 2015 at the Hayes Creek project to underpin a profitable mining operation ― Iron Blow resource, high-grade Zn-Au-Ag, potential open pit ― Mt Bonnie deposit, near-surface, high-grade Zn-Au-Ag, resource by Dec 2015 ― 100% owned, granted MLs, close to infrastructure ― Strong exploration potential at Hayes Creek beyond these deposits
Completion of Scoping Study to demonstrate project viability by early 2016 ― Diagnostic test work complete, excellent zinc recovery & grade ― Metallurgical optimisation test work complete end Nov 15 - demonstrate economic
recovery of high-value, saleable, zinc gold and silver products
Regional exploration – untested potential ― Multiple gold and base metals targets at Burnside, Moline & Chessman projects ― Aim to discover new gold or base metal deposit in 2016
