oz gold eq.
• Targeting >1 million ounce gold-equivalent
2. BROKEN HILL JV - NSW: (IPT earning 80% from GCR)
• Highest grade PGM project in Australia: drill intercepts of >20 g/t
platinum-palladium and 6% copper and 4% nickel
• Targeting >1 Moz PGM equivalent with high grade nickel and
copper

Commonwealth Project: Setting Major Gold-Copper Mining Province
Be in a region where there are a lot of existing mines
6
Commonwealth Project: Previous Work
• Gold-rich Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Deposit
• Mined 1906-1930’s
6500 t at 6 g/t Au, 150 g/t Ag, 2% Cu, 15% Zn & 7% Pb
• Poorly explored: 66 drill holes for an average depth of 53 metres.
• Previous exploration focus along 250 m strike at Commonwealth
• Acquisition in March 2013
• EL5874: 3-4 km strike potential

Commonwealth: Deposit Model
• Impact has re-logged 20 drill holes: VMS deposit confirmed.

Silurian VMS Deposit
17.7 Mt at 1.4 g/t gold, 80 g/t silver, 1.7% copper, 9.9% zinc, 3.8% lead for 7.1 million oz gold eq.
• 3.5 Moz gold equivalent underground resource and reserve
• Multiple lenses down to at least 630 m depth
Analogy: Woodlawn deposit (TriAusMin)
Goulburn, NSW

• Historic resource estimate:
Main Shaft: *83,000 t at 16.5 g/t gold eq. (6 g/t gold, 250g/t silver, 10% zinc, 3% lead, 0.5% copper) for 44,000 oz gold eq.
*Only over 50 m strike to 50 m depth
• Drill intercepts in fresh rock of:
9.8 m at 8.4 g/t gold, 357 g/t silver, 4.1% lead, 9.3% zinc, 0.5% copper
30 m at 6 g/t including 2 m at 77 g/t gold
• Potential for significant deposit beneath & along strike from Main Shaft
• Resource definition drilling required
• Exploration Target >1 M oz gold equivalent
Commonwealth Mine
Look for High Grade

Commonwealth: Potential at Depth
• High grade gold results
open along strike and at depth at: – Main Shaft
– Commonwealth South
• High value ore per tonne

Commonwealth: Regional Potential
• Secured a further 315 sq km
• 8 km strike potential rocks that host Commonwealth
• 10 km strike potential of structures that host Galwagere deposit
• Additional historic copper-gold workings
14
• Drill programme to commence in Q2 2014
• 2,500 m programme
• Initial aim to define >100,000 oz gold eq. resource
• Define plunge of shoots
• Define potential for >1 million ounces gold eq.

Impact earning 80%
IPT required to spend $50,000 to earn 51%
and a further $200,000 to earn 80%

Broken Hill Ni-Cu-PGE JV Project
• Located in the richly mineralised NSW Curnamona Province
• 4 priority targets:
– Red Hill
– Platinum Springs
– Moorkaie
– Little Broken Hill Gabbro
• Highest platinum grades in Australia with potential for >1 Moz PGE
• Mineralised mafic and ultramafic dykes and sills with high grade gossans over a 35 km belt
• Impact to earn 80% by spending a further $300,000 by Nov 2017

Platinum Springs Prospect
• Bulk sample of gossan averaged up to
– 19.6 g/t platinum
– 50 g/t palladium
– 12 g/t other PGM’s (Os, Ir, Ru, Rh)
• High grade drill intercepts and rock chip
samples over small 100 m x 100 m area.
GMS-006 returned:
– 2 m at 10.9 g/t Pt, 23.6 g/t Pd, 6.12% Ni,
4.45% Cu
• Massive sulphides at sill base
• Possible feeder zones
• Previous work focussed on east-west
trending sill-model rather than Impact’s
north-south trending structural model

• Giant Duluth
Complex and
associated feeder
systems
• Thunder Bay
