Project Location
Located approx 120 km north east of
Melbourne in the Woods Point - Walhalla
Dyke corridor
Projects* consist of:
• A1 Gold Mine ( MIN5294);
• Ten Mile Goldfield (EL5109); and
• Star of the West (MIN4636)
The A1 Mine is the second largest gold
producer in the region having produced >
600,000 ozs up to 1992.
* Completion of the acquisition of the Projects will
occur upon the Company’s admission to the ASX.
A1 Gold Mine (MIN5294)
Diorite dyke hosted gold mineralisation
Tenement covers entire known A1 Dyke
corridor.
Historical gold production of circa
620,000 oz at an average grade of 32 g/t
Dyke outcrops for >1000m in strike
length
Only 150m of strike tested to date

Stockworks
A1 Gold Mine Project
Potential of the 1400 Stockworks was
first recognised in early 1980’s
Bulk sample from a 1982 development
on the 1400 Level had a recovered grade
of 10 g/t au
Two parallel rises (inclined development)
from the 1330 level to 1400 Level in
1987 obtained a recovered grade of 17
g/t au
High grade results in 1987 were followed
by a radial drilling program in 1989-90
Underground drilling program in 2010-11
defined the 1400 Stockworks as a bulk
mining target.

1400 Stockworks
Focus is on reaching the 1400
Stockworks (Blocks 1-4 & 6).
Decline development currently at the
1620 level with a further 1500m required
to bring the 1400 Stockworks into
production. Lateral development of
~500m will be also required.
Currently averaging approx. 100 metres
of development per month
First target (Block 1) will be reached at
the 1450 level July 2013 (15 months
from IPO)
Expect to increase rate of mining to up to
3000t per week once 1450 level is
reached (150,000tpa) (1) References to exploration target size and target mineralisation in this
report are conceptual in nature and should not be construed as indicating the
existence of a JORC Code compliant mineral resource. There is insufficient
information to establish whether further development and exploration will
result in the determination of a mineral resource within the meaning of the
JORC Code.

Exploration Potential A1 Gold Mine – Southern Extension
Southern Dyke Extension:
• Underground drill platform is ready;
• target area 400m strike and up to
30m wide.
Western Dyke – Identified in 2008 from
drilling that confirmed:
• Dyke is mineralised
• Existence of multiple dykes
• Potential to add resource ounces
2012 Development Strategy
Commence processing from 1650
and 1625 Stockworks at 50,000 tpa
Continue mining at a rate of 1000t per
week
Continue decline development to
access and mine the high grade 1400
Level
Undertake mine definition drilling to
explore extensions to the known
stockwork zones.
First truck being loaded from stockpiles on site 27 February 2012
