Mikei Gold Resources Summary

• 66% of total resource ounces are in the Indicated category

• Mikei shear: Large system 7km long, up to 250m wide (with very limited testing between known zones) – testing to max of approx. 170m, most <120m

• Low grade, but higher grade shoots apparent; further interpretation required

• New resource estimates show increased overall grade, higher grade zones, and uses higher cut-off grades

• Mineralisation remains potentially open at depth, and along strike / down plunge of key higher grade zones

Battle of the Ports – What Makes MB Unique • Numerous potential iron ore

projects/mines identified world-wide

• Many stalled in development due to delays caused by inadequate logistical connections and access

• Railway capacity • Port throughput

• Governments slow to react

• Communities take NIMBY approach, resist

and block essential expansion

• Key to taking a world-class iron project to production

• Ensuring the project has a pathway to market

MB offers potential deep-water access
