The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration

Target is conceptual in nature, that there has been

insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource

and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in

the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Refer to ASX

Announcement of 6 August for further details.
