The wrap-up

➢ Rebecca Project offers excellent potential for a stand-alone 10yr

~100,000ozpa greenfield mine, rare in Eastern Goldfields

➢ Pushing deep into technical studies – engineering, met, environmental,

permitting ahead of feasibility work

➢ Exploration will continue to build on a pit-constrained 1.1Moz MRE

➢ Hidden in mature exploration terrain, despite sending strong signals

➢ Atypical rocks but in compelling structural setting

➢ Discovery indebted to past explorers and accessibility of old data

➢ …gold price + advances in RC drilling since mid-1990’s

➢ Product of timing, persistence and empirical work – well trodden path

➢ Archaean gneiss terrains can deliver: Big Bell, Westonia, Tropicana –

but often under cover and under-done

➢ Exploration implications for nearby and elsewhere
