Calculation of copper equivalent tonnes

Copper equivalent production referred to in this report was calculated by combining copper, gold and silver production using thefollowing equation:

Copper equivalent tonnes = copper tonnes + value of gold produced (US$) + value of silver produced (US$)copper price (US$/tonne)

Assumptions unless otherwise stated are:Copper US$2.00/lbGold US$600/ozSilver US$12/oz

Calculation of copper equivalent tonnes

The data in this report that relates to Exploration Results and Mineral Resources are based on information reviewed by Mr DanielBrost who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy.

Mr Brost is a full time employee of PanAust Limited. Mr Brost has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Brost consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his review in the form and context in which it appears.
