Commonwealth Project: Previous Work

• Gold-rich Massive Sulphide Deposit

• Mined 1906-1930’s

6500 t at 6 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 2% Cu, 15% Zn & 7% Pb

• Poorly explored: 66 drill holes for an average depth of 53 metres.

• Previous exploration focus along 250 m strike at Commonwealth

• Acquisition in March 2013

• EL5874: 3-4 km strike potential

10

Commonwealth Mine

• Historic resource estimate:

Main Shaft: *83,000 t at 16.5 g/t gold eq. (6 g/t gold, 250g/t silver, 10% zinc, 3% lead, 0.5% copper) for 44,000 oz gold eq.

*Only over 50 m strike to 50 m depth

• Drill intercepts in fresh rock of:

9.8 m at 8.4 g/t gold, 357 g/t silver, 4.1% lead, 9.3% zinc, 0.5% copper

30 m at 6 g/t including 2 m at 77 g/t gold

• Potential for significant deposit beneath & along strike from Main Shaft

• Resource definition drilling required

• Exploration Target >1 M oz gold equivalent

Commonwealth: Potential at Depth

• Successful maiden drill

programme completed

in September 2014

• High grade gold-silver

results open along

strike and at depth at:

– Main Shaft

– 6 m at 7 g/t gold, 383 g/t silver, 8.5% zinc, 3.2% lead and 0.3% copper

– Commonwealth South

– 4 m at 41.8 g/t (1.3 ounces per tonne) gold, 93 g/t silver, 5.5% zinc, 2.3% lead

• High value ore/tonne

Commonwealth South: new massive sulphide

lenses?

• New massive sulphide

lenses discovered in two

drill holes:

• IPT 17

– 4 m at 41.8 g/t (1.3 oz per tonne) gold, 93 g/t silver, 5.5% zinc, 2.3% lead

• IPT 14

– 2 m at 6.7 g/t Au, 61.6 g/t Ag, 3.8% Zn, 3.2% Pb from 53 m; and also4 m at 6.0 g/t Au, 25 g/t Ag, 1.4% Zn, 0.3% Pb from 72 m.

• Open at depth and along

Commonwealth: Potential along strike

COMMONWEALTH

• Grab sample results up to

24 g/t Au, 493 g/t Ag, 2.9% Pb,

0.4% Zn, 0.3% Cu

• Gold-rich mineralisation doubled

strike to 600 m

• Preliminary IP results: strong

chargeability at 200 m depth

CORONATION

• Early- to mid-time conductors

identified over 800 m

• Field checking results up to

18% copper, 58 g/t silver, 0.9%

lead, 0.9% zinc, 0.35 g/t gold

• 800 m strike copper-rich

mineralisation

19

Commonwealth: Potential along strike

• Recent soil geochemistry

results reveal potential for

major mineralised system

covering many sq. km.

• Recognition of metal-

assemblages indicating

– Porphyry & Skarn Cu-Au

– High sulphidation Au-Ag-

base metal

• Major breakthrough for

Impact

20

• Secured a further 315 sq km

• 8 km strike potential rocks that host

Commonwealth

• 10 km strike potential of structures that host

Galwadgere deposit :

(2 Mt at 1.0% Cu and 0.3 g/t Au)

• Additional historic copper-gold workings

• Close to recent blind porphyry discovery at

Kaiser-MacGregor by Alkane Resources Ltd
