Executive Summary A Mineral Resource estimate for the Patricia Zn-Pb-Ag deposit located within the Paguanta Project area, was completed during October 2008 by Runge Limited (Runge) for Compania Minera Paguanta (Chile) SA (CMP), a 70% owned subsidiary of Paguanta Resources (Chile) SA. The deposit is located in mountainous terrain in northern Chile, some 120km east-northeast of the city of Iquique.

The deposit is located in the Andean Cordillera. Relief in this area is moderate to high, with a topographic range in the project area from 3,650m to 3,850m.

The Patricia deposit is hosted within andesite and rhyolite lithologies. The majority of mineralisation is associated with steep dipping, sub-vertical vein structures typically 3m to 15m in width and occurs as disseminated to semi-massive concentrations. The mineralised veins occur in four main clusters, with three of the clusters oriented east-west, and the fourth occurring as a strongly oblique north-northeast trending zone.

The deposit was first drilled in November 2006. Further drilling was undertaken in 2007 and 2008 and the resource is now based on the data from 33 diamond core holes and 107 RC holes, all drilled from surface. The estimate covers a 980m lateral extent from 494,065mE to 495,045mE and the vertical extent of the resource is 361m from surface at 3,838mRL to 3,477mRL.

Sampling of RC holes was carried out at 1m intervals, and core was sampled at either 1m or 0.5m intervals. Sample preparation and assay was carried out by ALS-Chemex in Chile. Comprehensive assaying of Zn, Pb, Ag was carried out routinely, with a number of samples also assayed for Au.

Previous mining by local miners has exploited an unknown but minor amount of ore from a small adit. An estimated few thousand tonnes has been exploited from the resource.

The Mineral Resource estimate complies with recommendations in the Australian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2004) by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC). Therefore it is suitable for public reporting.

The Runge Mineral Resource estimate is summarised in Table A.

The Patricia deposit was estimated in a standard Surpac block model using ordinary kriging (OK) interpolation. The interpolation was constrained by resource outlines based on mineralisation envelopes prepared using a nominal 1.2% Zn cut-off grade and geological contacts. A high grade domain internal to the broader mineralisation was constructed for the Cathedral Vein. It was based on a nominal 6% Zn cutoff and was used as a hard boundary for estimation.

The block dimensions used in the model were 5m NS by 25m EW by 10m vertical with sub-cells of 1.25m by 6.25m by 2.5m. The resources were estimated using a variety of high grade cuts

based on individual lode statistics within the Patricia deposit, and reported at a range of cutoff grades.

Bulk density analysis was carried out on drill core using the water immersion method. Approximately 1,600 samples determinations were completed on fresh material. A number of samples from the transition zone were also measured.

The Mineral Resource was largely classified as Inferred due to the broad drill density. However, several portions of the deposit have been drilled at spacings of 40m or less, and have mapped surface and underground exposures to confirm continuity of structure. These zones have been classified as Indicated Mineral Resource.

The resource model is undiluted, so appropriate dilution needs to be incorporated in any evaluation of the deposit.

The resource estimate was completed using the following parameters:

• The Patricia estimate covers a 980m lateral extent from 494,065mE to 495,045mE and the vertical extent of the resource is 361m from surface at 3,838mRL to 3,477mRL.

• Drill holes used in the resource estimate included 33 diamond holes and 107 RC holes for a total of 1,252m within the resource wireframes.

• Holes in the resource were drilled at section spacings between approximately 40m and 80m.

• Diamond core was generally NQ size and was sampled at either 0.5m or 1m intervals. Half core samples were cut using a diamond saw and submitted for analysis.

• RC holes were sampled at 1 metre intervals. The sampling method involved riffle splitting each 1 metre sample to collect approximate 4kg samples in plastic bags.

• Sample preparation and assay was carried out by ALS-Chemex in Chile. Comprehensive assaying of Zn, Pb, Ag was carried out routinely using the AA26 method. A number of samples were also assayed for Au using the AA24 method.

• Quality control data for the recent drilling has been reviewed Runge and supports the assay data used in the estimate.

• The majority of holes were surveyed at the collar and 30m intervals with a reflex digital multishot camera. A number of holes remain unsurveyed, or with infrequent surveys due to collapses in the holes.

• Collar surveys and topographic surveys were carried out using standard topographic survey techniques.

• Wireframes were constructed using cross sectional interpretations based on mineralised envelopes constructed at a 1.2% Zn cut-off grade. Within the Cathedral Vein mineralised envelopes, a high grade (>6% Zn) pod was identified and wireframed individually. Samples within the wireframes were composited to even 1.0m intervals.

• A range of high grade cuts were used. In the high grade domain, Ag was cut to 500g/t. Through the remainder of the resource, Zn was cut to 15% and Ag to 300g/t. No cuts were applied to Pb.

• A Surpac block model was used for the estimate with a block size of 5m NS by 25m EW by 10m vertical with sub-cells of 1.25m by 6.25m by 2.5m.

• OK grade interpolation used an oriented ‘ellipsoid’ search with a first pass radius of 140m and a second pass of 210m. A third pass search radius of 300m was used to fill the model. Greater than 92% of the blocks were filled in the first two passes.

• A bulk density value of 2.89t/m3 was assigned to the fresh waste rock. Transition material was assigned a value of 2.52t/m3 for waste rock, 2.61t/m3 for mineralised rock. In the fresh resource the regression formula density=[2.99 + (0.0307*Zn_Pb%)] was used resulting in average densities of 3.41t/m3 for the high grade domain and 3.15t/m3 in the fresh resource. Values were based on results of recent test work carried out on drill core.

• The resource has been classified as Indicated and Inferred on the basis of continuity of structure, drill spacing and surface and underground mapping. The overall magnitude and tenor of the mineralisation suggests that the project has reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction.

1 Introduction and Project Summary 1.1 General Runge Limited (Runge) was contracted by Compania Minera Paguanta (Chile) SA (CMP), a 70% owned subsidiary of Paguanta Resources (Chile) SA to carry out an updated interpretation and estimation of the Patricia Zn-Pb-Ag Deposit. The original resource estimate was undertaken in September 2007 by Resource Evaluations Pty Ltd (ResEval), now a wholly owned subsidiary of Runge.

The Paguanta Project area is located approximately 120km east northeast of Iquique at an elevation of 3,700m in the Andes Mountains and approximately 30km west of Chile’s border with Bolivia (Figure 1.1).

Figure 1-1: Paguanta Project Location

Page 2 October 2008

The project area is in a highly mountainous region as shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2 Paguanta Project Area

Data used for the resource estimate was provided by CMP and included various Excel spreadsheets and a surface topographic DTM. This information was used in conjunction with the previous estimate carried out by ResEval. The resource limits and drilling at the project are shown in Figure 1-3.

Figure 1-3: All Drilling and Resource Wireframes

The current resource estimate was carried out in the Runge Perth office during October 2008. The resource outlines were prepared based on mineralised envelopes constructed at a nominal 1.2% Zn cut-off grade. Within the Cathedral Vein mineralised envelope, a high

grade (>6% Zn) pod was identified and wireframed individually. Surpac Mining software was used for all modelling and estimation procedures.

1.2 Competent Persons and Responsibilities The Mineral Resource estimate complies with recommendations in the Australian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (2004) by the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC). Therefore it is suitable for public reporting.

The team of people involved in the preparation of this report are listed as follows:

• Mr P Payne (Runge Manager Mining Consulting WA) responsible for digitising, wireframe construction, statistical analysis and Mineral Resource estimation and classification. Site visit carried out in May 2008.

• Mr J Clark (Runge – Senior Consultant Geologist) responsible for resource auditing.

• Mr J Sinclair (CMP General Manager) responsible for providing project data and overseeing geological interpretation.

2 Geology and Mineralisation 2.1 Regional Geology The Paguanta Project is 120km from the coast in Region 1, northern Chile. Paguanta lies within the northern extension of the Domeyko Fault system in the Andean Cordillera. Host rocks comprise folded and faulted Mesozoic sediments and arc-related volcanics; lying unconformably on Palaeozoic quartzite basement. Tertiary aged felsic intrusions have been mapped and are spatially related to zones of alteration and mineralisation. The area is covered by thick sequences of Miocene aged tuffs.

2.2 Local Geology The Patricia deposit crops out onto a moderately steep, north facing slope and is covered in part by a thin veneer of colluvium. It is interpreted from mapping and petrographic study to be a low sulphidation, epithermal to mesothermal style Zn-Pb-Ag vein deposit. The host lithologies are shallowly dipping andesites and rhyolitic to dacitic volcanics. Small granodiorite intrusive bodies have been mapped close to the deposit. The bedding in the volcanics can be seen in Figure 2-1.

Figure 2-1 Local Geology Showing Stratigraphy in Overlying Andesite Lithology

The volcanic sequence has been subjected to multiple phases of deformation; the mineralisation is associated with a series of steeply dipping extensional faults. The mineralisation is fault hosted with proximal alteration dominated by sericite and sulphides. These faults have varying strike, dip and width. Generally the mineralised sections of the faults are steeply north or south dipping, 2-10m wide and up to 500m long. On-going deformation during mineralisation has led to the development of high-grade shoots within broader mineralised zones. The deposit has subsequently been subjected to moderate weathering, typically 10 – 25m thick and minor remobilisation and depletion of metal has occurred in the oxide zone.

2.3 Mineralisation Mineralisation is dominantly Zn-Pb-Ag. Weak Au mineralisation occurs erratically throughout the deposit and has not been included in this estimate. The sulphide mineralisation is dominated by sphalerite (Zn), galena (Pb), and argentite (Ag), and is associated with pyrite and arsenopyrite.

Runge Limited Compania Minera Paguanta (Chile) SA Patricia Deposit Resource Report

Page 5 October 2008

Mineralisation style varies throughout the deposit with three domains being interpreted. Two styles of vein have been interpreted; disseminated sulphide and massive/semi massive sulphide veins. These have been domained separately within the mineralised envelopes where continuous zones have been interpreted. Limited structural information was available for the strike and dip of the veins, as only limited orientated drill core was available. However, underground exposures have been mapped and sampled and the information used to control the strike and dip of the veins in the upper part of the deposit. This increases confidence in the geological interpretation. The sampling from the workings has not been included in the estimate.

Page 6 October 2008

3 Mining Status Minor historic underground workings are present at the site. A single adit has accessed the deposit and several small strike drives were excavated. No evidence of stoping or other substantial excavations were apparent. The extent of the workings is shown in Figure 3-1.

Figure 3-1 Patricia Adit and Resource Outline at 3,715mRL

Small excavations on minor structures are also evident in several areas. The volume from these is insignificant, however they do provide guidance to potential mineralised zones. The main strike drive and an example of a minor surface working is shown in Figure 3-2.

4 Previous Estimates A previous estimate was completed for the deposit in September 2007 by ResEval. The methodology was similar to that of the current estimate, although Inverse Distance to the power 2 (ID2) interpolation was used.

A summary of the results and a comparison with the high grade portion of the most recent Runge estimate is shown in Table 4-1.

5 Drilling Data 5.1 Summary Excel spreadsheets containing updated drilling information were provided to Runge by CMP. The data was loaded into an Access database linked to Surpac software. The data was well organised with only minor errors. Data management was by Maxwell Geoservices (Vancouver).

The full database contained records for 174 drill holes. All holes were completed by CMP between 2006 and 2008. Both RC and diamond drilling was utilised.

Procedures for the drilling and sampling on site are included in the CMP document Paguanta Drilling and Sampling Guide 2008-03-13 which is included in Appendix 7 of this report.

A summary of the drilling data within the resource area is shown in Table 5-1.

Table 5-1 Patricia Project Drilling Summary

In general, drilling was carried out with 25-50m spaced holes on 50m east-west section intervals with some infill drilling on 25m spaced sections. The drill holes have varying directions, however the majority of holes are drilled to grid north/south at 60o.

The database was loaded into Surpac Mining software Version 6.1.

5.2 Drill Hole Collar Location Where possible, drillhole collar locations were located by topographers prior to drilling using standard total station survey equipment. The holes were surveyed again after completion. All surveys were tied into the UTM coordinate system using the tenement monuments as known survey points.

5.3 Downhole Surveys The majority of holes were surveyed at the collar and 30m intervals with a Reflex digital multishot camera. A number of holes remain unsurveyed, or with infrequent surveys due to collapses in the holes.

5.4 Sampling 5.4.1 Methodology RC drilling completed by CMP using a Drilltec DK40 drill rig drilling a 5¼ inch diameter hole. Samples were collected every 1m from a rig mounted cyclone into large numbered plastic bags. Sub samples were made by splitting each 1m interval down using a riffle splitter. Samples were then sent to the ALS laboratory in La Serena, Chile for analysis. Details of the sample analysis procedures are given in Section 6.1.

Diamond core drilling completed by Major Drilling used a UDR 200 rig drilling HQ core from surface with NQ size core through the mineralized zones.

Runge Limited Compania Minera Paguanta (Chile) SA Patricia Deposit Resource Report

Page 9 October 2008

The hole was geologically logged and then cut in half using a diamond cutting saw at 1m intervals or at 0.5m intervals. The core was sampled to geological boundaries within the mineralised zones.

5.4.2 Sample Preparation Once the samples were bagged, they were sent to ALS Laboratories in Antofagasta for preparation and pulps sent to ALS Laboratories, La Serena, Chile for analysis. Samples were crushed to 2mm with a 1kg split taken and crushed to 75 microns in a LM2 ring pulveriser. A grind size of 75 micron 90% passing was the minimum standards required by the laboratory. Small quantities of samples were assayed by ALS in Lima, Peru for priority analysis.

5.5 Data Excluded No data was excluded from the estimate.

6 Assay Data 6.1 Methodology Comprehensive assaying of Zn, Pb, Ag was carried out routinely using the AA26 method which is a four acid (HF-HNO3- HClO4) digest with a AAS finish. A number of samples were also assayed for Au using the AA24 method.

6.2 Quality Control 6.2.1 General QAQC protocols for the resource drilling at Patricia included the following:

• Insert blank at start of each submission • Use alternate blank and standards every 20th sample • Standards provided by Gannet, Perth – Ag, Pb, Zn, Au • Re-splits (duplicates) completed metre by metre on whole mineralised intervals,

rather than on the rig (approximately 5% of mineralised material) • Pulp re-assays completed for diamond programme between ALS and ACME labs. • Results awaited for RC pulps (approximately 5% of mineralised material)

Results from the various QA/QC procedures were compiled by CMP and reviewed by Runge. Detailed results are included in Appendix 4. Summary results are included in the following sections.

6.2.2 Blanks Blanks were inserted at the start of each sample batch. A total of 87 blanks were inserted in the 2008 program. Results were generally very low demonstrating the absence of contamination in the sample preparation process. Only 4 samples returned anomalous levels with peak values of 1500ppm Zn, 1400ppm Pb and 11ppm Ag. This suggested some low levels of contamination may have been present in these few samples.

Page 10 October 2008

6.2.3 Standards A number of commercially prepared standards were used by CMP at a ratio of one every 20 samples. They were a mix of sulphide and oxide matrices from a variety of poly-metallic projects and prepared by Geostats Pty Ltd of Perth. A tabulation of the standards and their assigned values is shown in Table 6-1.

Standard Values Standard ID Pb ppm Zn ppm Ag ppm Au ppb Number Assayed

BK 50 100 0.5 0.5 87 GBM308-12 21400 49100 82 GBM398-4 11714 5117 48.7 131 GBM995-8 25919 124300 52 93 GBM999-3 9942 482 291 184

Table 6-1 Patricia Standards

In general the standards returned values within two standard deviations of the expected value. Monitoring of results by CMP during the drilling campaign identified one batch where the standard values were outside the acceptable range and the batch was re-assayed.

The results did not suggest any problems with the quality of the assay data.

6.2.4 Pulp Checks A total of 167 samples were selected for pulp re-assay at Acme Laboratories in Santiago. Results are presented graphically in Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1 Results of Pulp Re-Assay Correlation is excellent between laboratories, with only minor scatter in Zn values above 5%. A very slight positive bias is also evident in the Ag values from ALS. However, overall the results are satisfactory.

6.2.5 RC Re-Splits A total of 96 RC samples from the mineralised zones were collected from the splitter at the time of drilling. These samples were assayed at ALS along with the original split of the sample. Results for Zn, Pb and Ag are excellent, with good repeatability and low scatter.

7 Bulk Density Data 7.1 Methodology Bulk density measurements were carried out on by CMP staff on half core. The immersion method was used with weight dry, weight in water and weight wet being recorded. Representative portions from the sample intervals were measured, rather than the full interval. A total of 1,686 readings were taken and of these, 715 occurred within the resource wireframes in fresh rock.

The density data was split into the main material types, and statistical analysis carried out.

7.2 Results It was expected that there would be correlation between grade and density in the fresh rock, so density values were plotted against Zn+Pb grade for the fresh resource samples. These are shown in Figure 7-1.

The trend of increasing density with increasing grade was clear, so a regression formula was prepared for fresh resource. For the other material types, the arithmetic mean of the values was used to generate the density values for the resource estimate. Results are summarised in Table 7-1.

Table 7-1 Bulk Density Determinations – Patricia Core Typically in base metal deposits, density values are determined for each sample within the mineralised zones. This allows the samples to be weighted by density when used in the resource estimate to ensure that the higher grade samples with higher density contribute the correct metal value in the estimate. This has not been done at Patricia, but should be implemented for any future drilling programs.

8 Metallurgy

Metallurgical test-work has been carried out but not been reviewed by Runge. Results of this work were very positive.

9 Database Verification

Runge has not conducted any further database validation other than basic visual validation in Surpac. This identified a number of collar and downhole survey errors which were corrected by CMP. Database validation was previously completed by both CMP and Maxwell Geoservces.

10 Interpretation and Resource Statistics

10.1 Geology and Resource Interpretation Runge updated previous wireframes constructed for the September 2007 estimate. The resource outlines were based on mineralisation envelopes prepared using a nominal 1.2% Zn cut-off grade and a minimum downhole length of 2m. Some areas required the use of Pb and Ag anomalism to determine the mineralisation boundaries.

Within the broad 1.2% outlines of the Cathedral Vein, a zone of semi-massive sulphide occurs. This has been separately interpreted using a cutoff grade of approximately 6% Zn. It forms a zone with good continuity and is partly exposed in the old workings. The high grade and low grade zones were interpolated separately. Some zones of internal dilution were included to maintain continuity of the resource wireframes based on geological contacts.

Resource outlines were generally extrapolated to a distance of 20m from drillhole intersections, unless supported by adjacent drill holes.

A weathering profile representing the top of fresh rock was prepared by Runge based on the logged weathering codes provided in the database.

10.2 Preparation of Wireframes 10.2.1 Resource The interpreted sectional outlines were manually triangulated to form the wireframes. A typical cross section through the entire resource area is shown in Figure 10-1. The high grade and low grade domains are shown in Figure 10-2. The overall extent of the wireframes is shown in Figure 10-3.

To form ends to the wireframes, the end section strings were copied to a position midway to the next section or to 20m and adjusted to match the dip, strike and plunge of the zone. The wireframed objects were validated using Surpac software and set as solids.

10.3 Sample Statistics 10.3.1 General The wireframes of the mineralised zones were used to code the database to allow identification of the resource intersections. Separate intersection files were generated for each resource object and for each mineralisation type, with Low Grade intersections being exclusive of the High Grade intersections. Surpac software was then used to extract downhole composites within the intervals coded as resource intersections. A review of sample length was carried out to determine the optimal composite length. All samples were either 0.5m or 1.0m in length as shown in Figure 10-4. All holes were composited to 1m.

The composites were checked for spatial correlation with the objects, the location of the rejected composites and zero composite values. Individual composite files were created for the major zones in the wireframe models.

10.3.2 Deposit Statistics The composite sample data for the deposit was grouped into the main mineralised zones (as shown in Figure 10-3), and then imported into GeoAccess software for analysis. Summary statistics are shown in Table 10-1.

10.4 High Grade Cuts The summary statistics indicated that the distribution of assay data was positively skewed for all elements. While the coefficient of variation was relatively low, it was likely that high grade cuts would be required as a linear grade interpolation method was to be used for the resource estimate. To assist in the selection of appropriate high grade cuts, the composite data was imported into GeoAccess software and log-probability plots were generated. The data showed an approximately lognormal distribution for each element. The plots are shown in Figure 10-5, Figure 10-6 and Figure 10-7.

Figure 10-7: Probability Plot of Ag for 1m Composite Data by Zone

Following a review of the probability plots and the coefficient of variation, it was decided that only Ag needed to be cut in the Cathedral High Grade Zone. A cut of 500g/t Ag was applied. In the other resource domains a cut of 15% was applied to Zn, and 300g/t to the Ag values.

Other Zones 15 None 300

10.5 Geostatistical Analysis Due to the relatively small number of samples in most of the resource domains, variography was limited to the Cathedral Vein. The High Grade domain was analysed separately to the Low Grade domain. The results from the Low Grade domain were then applied to the other resource domains in the deposit, with changes to orientation as appropriate.

Variography was carried out using Surpac software. Downhole variograms were generated from the data to determine the nugget variance, then directional variograms prepared in the plane of the mineralisation. In the High Grade domain, nuggets of 24%, 20% and 25% were measured for Zn, Pb, Ag respectively. Major axes of 120m, 80m and 50m were also defined with a major direction plunging east at 30o.

In the Low Grade domain, nuggets of 14%, 37% and 28% were measured and major axes of 140m, 80m and 80m were also defined for Zn, Pb and Ag.

Details of the kriging parameters applied to the estimate are shown in Table 10-2. Variogram plots are included in Appendix 5 of this report.

11 Resource Estimation

11.1 Block Model A Surpac block model was created to encompass the full extent of the deposit. Block model parameters are listed inTable 11-1.

The block model used a primary block size of 5m NS by 20m EW by 10m vertical with sub-cells of 1.25m by 6.25m by 2.5m.

The parent block size was selected on the basis of 50% of the average drill hole spacing. The small sub-block size, particularly in the Y (North-South) direction, was necessary to provide sufficient resolution to the block model due to the narrow nature of the high grade mineralisation.

11.2 Grade Interpolation 11.2.1 Estimation Parameters For all zones in the deposit, the wireframe objects were used as hard boundaries in the interpolation. That is, only grades inside each object were used to interpolate the blocks inside the object. The ordinary kriging (OK) algorithm was selected for grade interpolation.

An orientated ‘ellipsoid’ search was used to select data for interpolation. The ellipse was oriented to the average strike and dip of the mineralised zones. The first pass radius was based on the variogram range for each of the zones. This was increased by 50% for the second pass. Greater than 65% of the blocks were filled in the first pass and 27% in the second pass. A third pass radius of 300m was required to fill any remaining blocks in the model. Parameters used in the estimate are listed in Table 11-2.

11.3 Density and Material Type The Patricia resource is largely fresh, with a small portion of transition. Based on drill core test work average densities were assigned for transition waste of 2.52t/m3, and transition mineralisation of 2.61t/m3 and fresh waste of 2.89t/m3.

A regression formula density=2.99+0.0307*(Zn+Pb) was used to calculate density in each block for the fresh resource zones. The average density resulting from this was 3.1t/m3 for the fresh resource and 3.45t/m3 for the High Grade domain. Refer to Section 8 of this report for more details.

11.4 Resource Classification The Patricia mineralisation shows strong continuity of the main mineralised zones allowing the drill hole intersections to be modelled into coherent, geologically robust wireframes. Reasonable consistency is evident in the thickness of the structure, and the distribution of grade appears to be continuous along strike and down dip.

The average drill hole spacing in the main portion of the Cathedral Vein resource is approximately 40m along strike and variable between 20m and 50m down dip. With the strong continuity of structure evident at the deposit from surface and underground mapping and drill intercepts, this spacing would be considered adequate to allow classification of the resource as an Indicated Mineral Resource.

Runge Limited Compania Minera Paguanta (Chile) SA Patricia Deposit Resource Report

Page 21 October 2008

The Central Vein is partially mapped at surface and has hole spacings of 40-50m in the better drilled portion. The Veta Rosada vein has some surface mapping data and in the better drilled portion of the deposit has 20-40m spaced holes on 40m spaced sections. Each of these areas was also classified as Indicated Mineral Resource.

The portions of the deposit classified as Inferred include poorly tested areas of the main zones, small zones peripheral to the main structures which are defined by three intersections or less with no clear lateral continuity, and zones of increased complexity which require more detailed information.

The resource block model has an attribute “class” for all blocks within the resource wireframes coded as either “Ind” for Indicated or “Inf” for Inferred.

The Indicated and Inferred portions of the deposit are shown in Figure 11-1.

11.6 Model Validation To check that the interpolation of the block model correctly honoured the drilling data, validation was carried out by comparing the interpolated blocks to the sample composite data. Validation results for the deposit are summarised in Figure 11-4 and Figure 11-5. Full details of the validation are included in Appendix 2 of this report.

Figure 11-5: Validation by Northing – Low Grade Zones

The validation plot shows good correlation between the composite grades and the block model grades for the comparison by elevation. The trends shown by the raw data are honoured by the block model.

The comparisons show the effect of the interpolation, which results in smoothing of the block grades compared to the composite grades.

12 Risk and Opportunities

• Several structures remain open at depth and good potential exists to extend the resources in these areas.

• The Cathedral Vein mineralisation shows some evidence of increasing grade with depth so potential exists to increase the overall tenor of the deposit with further drilling at depth.

• Gold mineralisation is significant in some parts of the deposit. Further assaying and study of the gold distribution may allow its inclusion in the financial evaluation of the deposit.

• Grade estimation was carried out using length weighting only. Due to the increased density with increased grade, samples should be weighted by density also once comprehensive density data is available (ie density determination for every sample). This would lead to a slight increase in the deposit grade.

• Some potential exists to model massive sulphide zones in the disseminated zones, particularly in the deeper extension of the Cathedral Vein.

• Two examples exist where close spaced intersections show markedly different grade and thickness of mineralisation. This may indicate poor continuity within some of the mineralised structures.

13 Conclusion and Recommendations

The Patricia resource comprises a number of well defined zones of base metal mineralisation. The mineralised zones are regular in geometry, often with sharp boundaries.

Runge considers that the majority of the resource is robust, particularly those areas where surface and underground mapping is available. Some minor errors were noted in the original drilling data.

Those portions of the deposit supported by surface mapping and close spaced drilling were classified as Indicated Mineral resource. The portions of the deposit classified as Inferred include poorly tested areas of the main zones, small zones peripheral to the main structures which are defined by three intersections or less with no clear lateral continuity, and zones of increased complexity which require more detailed information.

A scoping study is currently being carried out by Golder Associates. This will help clarify the economic potential of the deposit and the results should be used to guide further work at the project.

Any future diamond drilling at the project should ensure that sample intervals are based on logged geological boundaries.

Future drilling should also ensure that each mineralised sample has a corresponding density measurement.

The resource model is undiluted, so appropriate dilution needs to be incorporated in any evaluation of the deposit.
