  8. Current Inferred Resource – Gault prospect The current Inferred resource was estimated in 2000 after the completion of all drilling. Features of the resource include: Mineralisation at surface Shallow, open-pittable resource Open in all directions Structurally complex High grade character: best intercept – 4m at 102.65g/t Au Poorly explored and understood Strong gold – arsenic relation Gault Prospect Inferred Resource(2000) -9-

  9. Geology Granulite facies metamorphosed Late Archaean mafic-felsic gneisses (The Western Gneiss Terrain of the Yilgarn Craton). Disseminated gold mineralisation associated with arsenopyrite, pyrite and pyrrhotite (strong Au-As association). Soil geochemistry over 15km strike length and a width of 5km is largely untested. Strong deformational history: structurally controlled mineralisation is continuous. Known mineralisation covers 850m x 250m (open in all directions) associated with K alteration. Geological setting similar to Katanning (Ausgold Ltd -ASX:AUC) and Griffins Find (Panoramic Resources Ltd -ASX:PAN).
