Regional Geology Overview15

• Primary regional feature is Crnook Dome

• Associated with the dome are low-angle regional-scale detachment faults

• Quartz-feldspar porphyry units common (small intrusions and dykes)

• Regional extension created series of detachment basins and infilled with fluvial sediments

• Mineralization is intermediate epithermal-type

• Strong association with Pb-Zn mineralization

• Mineralization is both lithologically- and structurally-controlled

• Hosted in a zone of flat-lying tectonic breccias (detachment-associated) and likely fed by high-angle basement structures

• Tlamino is emerging as a new geological model for the region.

Historical Drilling (Liska Prospect)19

• Historical drilling, completed in the 1970s, demonstrates low-angle Pb-Zn mineralization

• Conceptually fits with Medgold’s geological model of detachment-controlled mineralization

• Mineralization is open to NE, towards Barje prospect
