1.4 Exploration, Geology and Mineralization

Theearliest recordswhichBPNMpossessof explorationwithin theTaKhoadistrict is between1959and1963.ThiswasundertakenbyaVietnamese-Chinesegeologicalsurveyandthefocusoftheirexplorationeffortwastodiscoveranewcopperprovince.AnecdotalevidencesuggeststheJapanesewereactiveintheareaduringtheiroccupationbetween1940and1945.

Anumberoftypesofmineralizationarerecognizedintheintrusiveandsurroundingmetamorphicrocks:

Massivesulphidetypemineralization(MSV);

DisseminatedsulphidetypemineralizationsurroundingtheMSV;

Lowgradedisseminatedsulphidesindunite(DISS);and

Oxidizedtypemineralization.

MostNi-Cu-Comineralization,withorwithoutPGE’s, isbothspatiallyandtemporallyassociatedwithultramaficintrusionsincluding:

• veins of high-grade massive Ni-Cu-Co (±PGE) sulphide in metasedimentary wall rocksadjacenttoultramaficintrusions,withlocallydevelopedlow-gradedisseminatedcopper-nickelmineralizationmarginaltotheMSV;and

• disseminated low-grade nickel or nickel-copper mineralization (DISS) in basin shapedcumulatelayers(locallymultiple),oftennearthebaseandwallsofultramaficintrusions.

TheconcessionarealiesintheSongDarift,amajorcrustalsuturezone,whichispartofabroadernorthwest trendingcorridorofdeepcontinental riftingknownas theRedRiverFaultZone.Thearea is an excellent geological address in a geotectonic and structural zone that has manyfavourablefactorsfordevelopmentofNi-CudeposittypessuchasNorilsk(Russia)andJinchuan(China).Evidenceformagmatismonaregionalscaleaddstothispicture.

Considerable potential exists in the district for large-tonnage, lower-grade deposits ofdisseminated sulphides within ultramafic intrusions, similar to the DISS style mineralisation.Regional exploration in the Ta Khoa corridor has identified an extensive system of mafic-ultramafic intrusives, a remarkable number of which have associated Ni-Cu massive ordisseminatedsulphidemineralization.

Of these the most advanced and highest ranked include Kingsnake, SuoiPhang, Ban Mong, Ban Khang and Ban Khoa. Kingsnake is the most mature brownfieldsprospect on the Concession and based on the existing drilling, the known body of

mineralisationatKingsnake isestimatedtobe600mlong,0.2to3.0mthickandaveraging1.79%Ni,0.7%Cuand1.14ppmPGE.

Considerable potential also exists in the district for large-tonnage, lower-grade deposits ofdisseminated sulphideswithinultramafic intrusions, similar to theDISS stylemineralisation.Regional exploration in the Ta Khoa corridor has identified an extensive system of mafic-ultramafic intrusives, a remarkable number of which have associated Ni-Cu massive ordisseminatedsulphidemineralization.

The massive sulphide vein (MSV) mineral resource at Ban Phuc Nickel Mine has beendepleted, having been mined from 2013 to 2016, however, all processing infrastructure,power, access roads and site-based accommodation remains in good order through a careand maintenance programme. Given the existence of this modern infrastructure, thethreshold size requirement for a newmassive ormatrix sulphide discovery is considerablysmallerthanforapurelygreenfieldsexplorationplay.

In addition to the fundamental geological parameters, the Concession is attractive toexplorersdue to theexistenceofawell-trained,effectiveand relatively low-cost in-countrygeologicalteam,thelackofenvironmental liabilities/legaciesandthefactthatnoadditionaloperatingpermitsarerequiredforfutureexplorationactivities.

Existingdrilling,undergroundsamplingandexplorationrockchipassaydatacollectedbyAMRsince 2003 have been reviewed and the standard of sample preparation, security andanalyticalproceduresisconsideredacceptablebymodernindustrystandards.

6. HISTORY

The discovery of a large, outcropping gossan zone at Ban Phuc containing secondary coppermineralisation istentativelyattributedtotheVichyFrenchoroccupyingJapanese in1945.EarlyexplorationworkwasconductedbyVietnamesegeologistswithRussianandChineseassistanceinthemid-1950'sandearly1960's,andwasinitiallyfocusedoncopper.In1956,Russiangeologistsidentified themassiveNi-Cu-sulphidebodyatBanPhucand in1963,withChineseassistance,amaiden resource was defined. Around this time (1959-1964) regional exploration programmesinvolving surface sampling, trenching, magnetic surveys, diamond drilling, driving of adits andsinkingof shafts resulted in thedefinitionofNi-Cu sulphidemineralisationat severaladditionalprospectswithinthecurrent50km2licencesuchasBanKhoa,BanChangandBanMong(Table 4 ).Drillcorefromthisperiodisnowlost,however,theexistingaditswithexposedmineralisationarestillaccessible.

Following the establishment of AMR in 1993,modern exploration commencedwith a diamonddrill programme in December 1996. This and later exploration programmes are discussed inSection 9, below. The licence area prior to 1993was entirely owned and administered by theVietnamese Government. A total of 381 holes for 61 894m have been drilled on the Ta KhoaConcessionupto2016,sincethestartofrecords(310holesfor49743mintoBanPhuc).

7. GEOLOGICALSETTINGANDMINERALISATION

7.1 Regional and Tectonic Setting

ThecurrentAMRexplorationlicenseincorporatingtheBanPhucdepositandnearbyprospectsislocatedwithin theNW toSE-trendingSongDaRift ZoneofnorthernVietnam (Figure 5 ). TheSong Da Rift is amajor crustal suture zone between the Indochina and Yangtze (South China)Cratons.Thisfundamentalstructure,whichisconsideredtobeadextraltransform(Lepvrieretal.2008), continues north into China with a N-S trend (the Panxi Rift or Fault Zone), where it isassociated with a series of comparable magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE deposits e.g. Baimazhai,Qingquanshan,LimaheandYangliuping(Lightfoot&Evans-Lamswood2015)Table 5 .

The SongDaRift, bounded to the SWby the SongMa fault zone, is interpreted tobea classiccontinental rift dominated by a terrigenous and calcareous sedimentary succession to LowerTriassicage(Lepvrieretal.2008).Mafictoultramaficplutons,suchasthosehostingdisseminatedNi-CumineralisationinBanPhucandnearbyultramaficintrusions,arepresentmainlywithintheTaKhoaantiformaldome, andare considered co-magmaticwithextrusivemafic (basalt, picriteandkomatiitic)unitsmappedthereandelsewherewithintherift(e.g.theNaMuoiRiverbasin).TheextrusiveunitshavebeendatedasPermo-Triassic (257±24Ma,Polykovet al.; 270±20Ma,Hanskietal. 2004)andare considered to formpartof theEmeishanLarge IgneousProvince.Arecently published more precise age of 257±0.5 Ma is given in Lightfoot & Evans-Lamswood(2015) and is based on zircon age dating of gabbro from the upper part of the Ban Phucmineralisated intrusion (by Prof. Zhou of Hong Kong University; Dinh HuuMinh pers. comm.).Documented examples of Phanerozoic komatiites are rare elsewhere in the world, suggestinganomaloushigh-TconditionsexistedinthesourceregionsfortheSongDaultramafics.

7.3 Structure

Earlier published and unpublished studies on the Ban Phuc deposit and Ta Khoa antiform (e.g.Glotov et al. 2001 and Shi et al 2013) made little or no mention of any significant structuraloverprint.Examinationofoutcrop,undergroundexposuresanddiamonddrillcorebyMineraliumPty Ltd in 2014 highlighted the importance of the structural overprint and the likelihood thatsignificant physical remobilisation of primary sulphide mineralisation had occurred duringdeformation(Grguric2014).ThisledAMRtocommissionOrefindPtyLtdtoconductastructuralstudythe followingyear (DavisandCowan2015;CowanandDavis2015) inorder todefinethedeformationhistoryoftheTaKhoaanticline,andindicatepossiblevectorstoremobilisedmassivesulphide.

Orefind examined outcrop, underground exposures, diamond drill core and aeromagnetic andtopographic data and defined a deformation history comprising two events, D1 and D2, thatproduced ductile structures, followed by brittle fault overprints (Figure 8). They suggestedrecumbent F1 folds were produced during D1, which also involved significant extensionaccommodatedby lithological layering. TheD2event involved significant shortening, producingupright folds with NW-SE trending axial planes and variable NW and SE plunges. The Ta Khoaantiform inwhichBanPhuc is locatedwas interpreted tobeanF2 structure.D2ductile shearstypicallyaccommodated sinistralmovementandwere found togenerally trendNW-SE.Orefindposited that themassivesulphideveinatBanPhuc is locatedwithinaD2shearandhasclearly

been remobilisedandductiledeformed.Theynotedadjacent,earlier-formedquartz veinswereobservedtobebrecciatedandinfilledwithsulphide.

TheD2eventwas interpreted tobea significant contributor to thepervasive,NW-SE trending,structural grainevident in regionalgeophysicaldatasets. Severalpopulationsof intrusionswerenoted by Orefind, ranging from ultramafic (now mostly tremolite-altered), mafic and felsic(pegmatoidal) incomposition.MaficdykeswereinterpretedasstructurallyoldestandemplacedsolelyduringD1.Tremolite-alteredandfelsicdykesshowedtimingrelationshipsconsistentwithprotracted emplacement from D1 to D2, based on overprinting relationships with S1 and S2.GiventhattheultramaficandfelsicdykesstraddledD1andD2instructuralage,itwasconsideredlikely that these two events represent a continuum of a complexly evolving tectonic system.OrefindconsidereditpossiblethatthedykesofD2ageweresitedwithindeep-seatedstructuresassociatedwith earlier rifting/extension that hadbeen reactivatedduringD2 contraction. Theirindependent modelling of the regional structures in the dome confirmed the existence andorientation of the Chim Van CoMuong Fault, however, they could not identify two previouslyinterpretedfaultsinthewesternportionofthedome.

7.4 Metamorphism

TotheauthorsknowledgeadetailedstudyofthemetamorphicisogradsintheTaKhoaantiformhas not been carried out, however, several pieces of petrological evidence suggest, at leastlocally,highgraderegionalmetamorphicoverprintinghasoccurredandthelikelihoodisthatthebulk of the dome has experienced at least low to medium grade overprinting. Sillimanite isreportedfromNapSapsedimentsinthecoreoftheTaKhoaanticlineawayfromigneouscontacts(DinhHuuMinh pers. comm.) suggesting peak temperatures in excess of 500°C. Bladed olivinetextures (now retrogressed to serpentine)within the Ban Phuc ultramafic body ( Figure 9) areindicative of prograde metamorphic deserpentinisation and the formation of metamorphicolivine, typically at amphibolite facies or higher temperature conditions (Evans& Trommsdorff1974).ThinultramaficdykesthroughouttheTaKhoaantiformarecommonlyextensivelyalteredto tremolite as a result of metasomatic transfer of calcium from calcareous wallrocks.

The massive sulphide vein (MSV) constituting the recently-mined Ban Phuc undergroundresource, is a body of Ni-Cu-Co (-PGE) sulphide hosted within a D2 shear Figure 10) and isconsideredtobemagmaticinoriginratherthanahydrothermalvein.Theveinis640minlength,withan invertedtriangularforminplan,andcontinuestoat least450mbelowsurfacewithanaveragewidthof1.26m.IthasaNWstrikeof280-310ºandasteepdipof70-90ºtotheNE,andlocally to the SW.

Planar lenses are uncommon and the original continuity of the body has beendisruptedthroughextensionanddislocationonstructurescomprisingtheoverallD2shear(DavisandCowan2015).

The mineralogy of the MSV is typical of this style of mineralisation associated with mafic-ultramafic magmatic ore systems, and is dominated by pyrrhotite with lesser pentlandite andchalcopyrite. As is common in deformed and metamorphosed massive sulphide systems,chalcopyrite showsevidenceof greatermobilityand is commonlyprominent inwall-rockveins,breccia-fill, inclusionsanddisseminationsproximaltothemainoreposition.Otherminorphasespresent in the MSV are pyrite, magnetite, violarite and heazlewoodite. Accessory and tracephases include sphalerite, galena, cobaltite-gersdorffite series, hexastibiopanickelite, parkerite,tsumoite,breithauptite,sperryliteandmichenerite(Glotovetal.2001).

Thismineralisation is interpreted to represent primary magmatic sulphides present in mafic andultramafic dykes that have been overprinted and remobilised on a local scale duringmetamorphism and fluid infiltration. The sulphide mineralogy in this setting is predominantlypyrrhotite,chalcopyrite,pentlandite,violariteandpyrite,andminormillerite,ilmenite,nickeline,galena,sphaleriteandvaleriite.

9.1 Exploration Campaigns

9.1.1 1996 AMR Programme Following its inception in1993,AMRcompletedadrillprogramatBanPhuc inDecember1996comprising11drillholesforatotalof1220m.Theprimaryobjectivewastoestablishcontinuityof mineralisation within the previously identified MSV and further investigate nickel-coppermineralisation within the Ban Phuc dunite intrusion. Thus this campaign wasmainly part of aresource/reserve programme rather than extensional or greenfields exploration. Drilling of theBan Phuc dunite intrusion confirmed the presence of two separate disseminated sulphidehorizons.

9.1.2 1999-2002 Falconbridge Programme Falconbridge-financed work completed between February 1999 and February 2002 included a4100 line-km magnetic-electromagnetic, helicopter-borne survey and five grid-controlledmagnetic/UTEMsurveys,totalling175-linekmontheBanPhuc,BanTang,HongNgai,BanNguon,and Ban Mong prospects. Based primarily on electromagnetic anomalies (in particular UTEMconductors), some of which were closely associated with distinct magnetic features, sixteentargetswere defined and designated for diamond drilling. Falconbridge carried out two drillingprogrammes.Thefirstwasundertakeninthe2000/2001-fieldseason(16drillholesfor3800m)andthesecondinthe2001/2002-fieldseason(13drillholesfor4100m).Prospectingworkdonein conjunction with the geophysical program located new areas hosting significant Ni-Cu-PGEmineralisation,anotableexamplebeingKingsnake.

Low level helicopter EM and magnetic surveying conducted in 1999 yielded no significantanomalies over the prospect. Fixed-loop TEM conductedbyAusthaiGeophysical Consultants in2010 yielded a well-defined, mid-time anomaly (BM1) essentially corresponding to the knownmineralisation at Ban Mong. The short wavelength of the anomaly suggests the associatedconductor is fairly limited in size or has a discontinuity. Modelling of the conductor yielded arelativelyshallowplate(~90mdepthtotop),limitedinsize(~160x13m),dippingsteeplytotheSWwithamoderateconductance(~550-730S).Duetothedifficult terrain(mountainouswithsteep valleys in which the mineralisation lies), coupling is difficult with FLTEM and so AMRgeological staff, under geophysical consultant advice (pers comm P.

Drill holes BP14-01 to BP14-04 targeted the westerly plunge ofmineralisation but failed to intersect any economic intervals of mineralisation. The two holesBP14-05 and BP14-06 targeted an easterly plunge ofmineralisation, but failed to intersect anyeconomicintervalsofmineralisation.DrillholeBP14-06(Figure33)wasexaminedbyGrguric(2014)andDavisandCowan(2015)andcontainedasmallintersectionofstringerandbrecciasulphidemineralisationat415mdownhole([email protected]%Niand0.3%Cu).Whilenotofeconomicwidthandgrade,itwasinterpretedthat the structural corridor hosting the massive sulphide mineralisation was intersected. Thepierce-pointwasassociatedwithazoneof intenseductilestrainthroughtobrittlenon-cohesivecataclasite, consistent with a significant structure i.e. one that would be associated withremobilisation of massive sulphide on the scale of hundreds of metres. BMGS indicated thatsimilarstructureswerefoundintheother2014drillholes.Basedontheir3Dmodellingandexaminationofthe2014drillholes,itwasOrefind’sopinionthattheMSVhasbeendislocatedbytwogenerationsofstructures,syn-D2andpost-D2,andthat2014drillingintersectedthevolumefromwhichthemineralisationhadbeenremovedi.e.the‘end’ofknown mineralisation is likely not a primary feature.

11.5.1 Duplicate Assay Programme-1996 Core Sixty samples from five1996diamonddrillholeswere selected for checkanalysis. The samplesselected represented four zones of massive sulphide and hornfels hosted disseminated NiSmineralisation;andlowgrade,dunitehosteddisseminatedNiSmineralisation(Bates,1997).Theoriginal samples were analysed in Hanoi at BSE/Analabs Laboratories using a perchloric aciddigestionat200C◦for2.5hourswithanAASfinish.

TwosetsofcheckassayswerepreparedbyBSE/AnalabsLaboratoriesandsenttoAcmeAnalyticalLaboratoriesLtdofVancouverandChemexLabsLimitedofVancouver.AcmeandChemexwereinstructed to analyse the check assays using the same procedure as BSE/Analabs Laboratories,andAcmewererequestedtorunasecondsplitusinganICPfinish.

The two Canadian laboratories failed to fully comply with AMR’s request. Acme used a 10mlHCLO4,HNO3,HCl,HF digestion at 200C◦with an ICP finish. This process is a partial leach forseveralelementsand formassivesulphides.Acmewasrequestedtore-runthesamplesusingastraightperchloricdigestionandtouseanAASfinish.ThesecondsuiteofresultswasagainreadusingICP.ChemexusedvariousdigestionsforeachelementwithanAASfinish.

Thefindingsofthisreportinclude:

• Very good correlation exists between all five analytical methods for weak and non-mineralisedsamples.

• Correlation between moderately mineralised samples (0.5 to 1.5% Ni) is generallyacceptable.

• Correlationbetweenhigh-gradeNisamplesispoor,generallybeing75%to85%ofthoseanalysedbyBSE/AnalabsinHanoi.Typically,thelargertheBSE/AnalabsNiassayvalue,thelargerthediscrepancywithotherlaboratories.

• Cuexhibitssimilarbutlesspronounceddiscrepanciesforhigher-gradesamples.

• Cobalt results for the higher grade samples are consistently higher from Acme andChemex.

In fact, Lakefieldreported Ni% values that were approximately three quarters of the BSE/Analabs results. Toaddress thisproblem,Falconbridgerequestedtoassay thecorrespondinghalfcoreof thepulps(Manojlovic, 1999). A quarter core sample of the 1996 and some 1997 half core was sent toLakefield for testwork. Thepulpsoriginally sent to Lakefieldwere assayed a second time.

25. INTERPRETATIONANDCONCLUSIONS

MagmaticNi-Cu-Co-PGEmineralisationintheTaKhoaConcessionareawasfirstidentifiedinthemid-1940’s, and to date the bulk of the drilling and all of the mining activity has beenconcentrated intheBanPhucmassivesulphidevein.OutsideofthemainBanPhucminingareaexplorationatmanyof thecurrentprospects isatanearly stage,with theexceptionofa smallgroupofhighprioritytargets.TheTaKhoaConcessionarea lieswithintheSongDarift,amajorcrustal suture zone,which ispartofabroadernorthwest trendingcorridorofdeepcontinentalrifting known as the Red River Fault Zone. The exploration potential of the area is consideredexcellentgiventhegeotectonicaddress,identicalagetothegiantNorilsk-Talnakhsystem(Russia),and the fact that the ultramafic intrusive bodies form part of (and possibly feeders to) theEmeishanlargeigneousprovince.TheRedRiverFaultZonecontinuesnorthintoChinawhereisithosttoadditionalNi-Cudeposits.

Exploration work conducted by AMR has focussed on additional sources of massive or matrixsulphidemineralisationwhich could be readily processedusing the existingmetallurgical plant.Their work has advanced several historical prospects and resulted in the discovery of newprospects.Of these themost advancedandhighest ranked includeKingsnake, Suoi Phang,BanMong, Ban Khang and Ban Khoa. Kingsnake is the most mature brownfields prospect on the

BAN PHUC NICKEL PROJECT, SON LA PROVINCE, VIETNAM

NI 43-101 TECHNICAL REPORT PAGE 78

Concessionandbasedontheexistingdrilling, theknownbodyofmineralisationatKingsnake isestimated tobe600m long,0.2 to3.0mthickandaveraging1.79%Ni,0.7%Cuand1.14ppmPGE.

Considerable potential also exists in the district for large-tonnage, lower-grade deposits ofdisseminated sulphides within ultramafic intrusions, similar to the DISS style mineralisation.Regional exploration in the Ta Khoa corridor has identified an extensive system of mafic-ultramafic intrusives, a remarkable number of which have associated Ni-Cu massive ordisseminatedsulphidemineralization.

Themassive sulphidevein (MSV)mineral resourceatBanPhucNickelMinehasbeendepleted,having been mined from 2013 to 2016, however, all processing infrastructure, power, accessroads and site-based accommodation remains in good order through a care andmaintenanceprogramme.Giventheexistenceofthismoderninfrastructure,thethresholdsizerequirementforanewmassiveormatrixsulphidediscovery isconsiderablysmallerthanforapurelygreenfieldsexplorationplay.

In addition to the fundamental geological parameters, theConcession is attractive to explorersdue to the existence of a well-trained, effective and relatively low-cost in-country geologicalteam, the lack of environmental liabilities/legacies and the fact that no additional operatingpermitsarerequiredforfutureexplorationactivities.

Existing drilling, underground sampling and exploration rock chip assay data collected by AMRsince2003havebeenreviewedandthestandardofsamplepreparation,securityandanalyticalproceduresisconsideredacceptablebymodernindustrystandards.

Thein-countrygeologicalteamshouldmaintaintheirsystematicgossansearch,concentratingonthe prospective corridors discussed above. Gossans should be analysed for Ni, Cu and wherepossiblePGE,andagossanlibraryofduplicatesampleskeptforfollow-uppetrographicanalysis.This team should also continue their systematic geochemical mapping programme, utilising ahand-held XRF unit to screen samples before conventional whole rock analysis. Structuralmappingshouldbeundertakenfollowingtrainingof localcrewbystructuralgeologyspecialists.Thedatacollectedshouldbeinaformatallowingreadyimportationintomodellingpackagese.g.Leapfrog.

Continued programmes of modern geophysics are considered an essential part of the futureexploration on the Concession. Targeted ground EM should be carried out following guidelinesandwithinthehighprioritycorridorsdefinedbyMutton(2015a&d).AdditionalsurveyingshouldbeconsideredforotherblankEMzoneswithintheprospectivecorridors.Configurationofdownhole EM energising loop layouts should, where possible, allow for significant variation in theorientation of conductive plates. Possible plates could have been missed in the past due toineffective coupling). Care should be taken to select a ground crew who operate confidently,safelyandeffectivelyinruggedterrain.
