    Feasibility Study

    The resource at the Golden Terrace
    South deposit is estimated to
    contain 68,000 ounces of gold (Indicated
    Resource of 735,000 tonnes
    @ 2.50g/t and an Inferred Resource
    of 189,500 tonnes @ 1.68g/t for a total
    of 925,000 tonnes @ 2.3g/t gold).
    A summary of work completed
    during the year is provided opposite;

    Environmental;
    Level 2 flora and fauna field studies were
    completed by Autumn 2010.

    Metallurgical;
    Results were also received from sampling
    of the metallurgical diamond hole (GTD007)
    completed at the Golden Terrace South
    deposit. Significant intercepts from single
    metre assays including ***69 metres averaging
    6.80g/t from 61m to 130m down hole and
    nearer to the surface, 17 metres averaging
    5.86g/t gold from 32m to 49m down hole
    were received.***
    Subsequent test work performed on a
    30kg composite sample of the diamond core
    coordinated by METS in Perth found no major
    metallurgical issues.
    Key findings were:
    ? Overall Recovery 94.4%
    ? Potentially up to 37% of gold may be
    recovered via gravity circuit
    ? BWI (Bond work index) of 11.8, typical of
    oxide gold material, no processing issues
    ? No viscosity or abrasion issues.

    Geotechnical;
    A total of seven (7) HQ3 diamond holes
    were completed for a total of 617 metres to
    aid open pit design. Consultants completed
    geotechnical reviews and provided pit slope
    design parameters for open pit optimisation.

    Survey;
    Topographical surveys were completed to be
    used for infrastructure planning. The mining
    lease boundary was also surveyed as per
    Department of Minerals and Petroleum.

    Hydrological;
    Hydrology consultants completed on site
    test work in 2010 which detailed dewatering
    requirements and excess water disposal for
    the proposed Golden Terrace South pit.

    Resource:
    Five holes for 638 metres of drilling were
    completed at Golden Terrace South resource
    to verify the resource model to aid detailed
    mine planning. Intercepts from assaying of 5
    metre composite samples returned down-hole
    intervals of gold mineralisation including
    65m @ 2.49g/t, including 5m @ 19.69g/t
    and 48m @ 2.98g/t including 5m @ 12.18g/t
    gold.
    Single metre assays have correlated well for
    the high grade zones as shown on the following
    comparative table (see page 5).

    Other;
    Tender documentation and detailed
    scheduling are to be completed upon
    pit design.
