1.0 INTRODUCTION
Exploration Licence 25429 "Jervois” is located in the Proterozoic terrain of the Arunta Inlier. The
tenement covers the gossanous outcrop of the Jervois Mine and its extensions along strike. EL
25429 has a total area of approximately 110.9km2 (35 blocks).
MIM Exploration Pty Ltd (MIMEX) applied for the original tenement (EL10149) in September
1999 and was both manager and operator of the subsequent Joint Venture project. Exploration
conducted by MIMEX focused on finding structurally controlled high grade Mt Isa-style copper and
Broken Hill-style base metals mineralisation, as well as Fe-oxide associated copper-gold
mineralisation. Following the termination of the joint venture, the tenement reverted to Solbec
Pharmaceuticals as per the JV agreement.
EL25429 incorporates mineral leases and mineral claims (MC’s S13-S18, ML’s S10, S16, S17,
S23, S51-S57, S61, S62 and S90) and the water holdings over Lake Petrocarb (HLD’s S19-S21).
Exploration and development on EL25429 incorporates a lot of the work undertaken on the MC’s
and ML’s however only the work undertaken on EL25429 has been included in this report.
The purpose of this report is to detail exploration conducted by Kentor Minerals (NT) Pty. Ltd
within EL 25429 during the year ended 1 February 2012.
Sixteen drill holes for a total of 5,399.1 metres were completed on EL25429.
Expenditure for the year is estimated at $778,023 against a covenant of $32,500.
2.0 LOCATION and ACCESS
The Jervois Project is located 380 kilometres north east of Alice Springs on the Huckitta 1:250,000
map sheet (SF53 -11), and surrounds the mineral leases which cover the gossanous outcrop of the
Jervois Mine and its extensions (See Figure 1).
Access is via the Stuart and Plenty Highways to the Lucy Creek Station Road, with the tenement
located approximately 20km north of this turn off. Historical exploration and mine tracks, as well as
limited station tracks provide local access throughout the tenement which is located over a portion
of the Jervois Pastoral Lease.

3.0 TENURE
EL25429 was granted on 2nd February 2007. The tenements were subsequently transferred to M.
Ruane on the 19th July 1999, who applied for a deferment of relinquishment until 2nd October
2000, which was approved by the DPIFM. M. Ruane then entered into an Option to Acquire
agreement with Britannia Gold NL.
On 5th August 1999, M.I.M. Exploration Pty Ltd entered into a Joint Venture agreement with
Britannia Gold NL, agreeing to act as manager and operator of the Jervois Project.
MIM withdrew from the joint venture in late May 2002. The tenement was subsequently transferred
to M. Ruane and in 2004 was transferred to Reward Minerals Limited.
In November 2009 the leases were transferred to Jinka Minerals Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Reward Minerals Ltd.
In early 2010 Jinka Minerals Ltd. was purchased by Kentor Gold Ltd. and is now a wholly owned
subsidiary of Kentor Gold Ltd.
The tenements remain as Jinka Minerals Ltd. holdings and are operated by Kentor Minerals (NT)
Pty. Ltd until such time that they will be transferred to the operating company.

4.0 GEOLOGY
EL25429 lies on the Huckitta 1: 250 000 map sheet (SF 53-11), for which geological notes are
available. The tenement is located mainly within the Palaeo-Proterozoic Bonya Schist on the
northeastern boundary of the Arunta Orogenic Domain. The Arunta Orogenic Domain in the north
western part of the tenement is overlain unconformably by Neo-Proterozoic sediments of the
Georgina Basin.
The prospective lithologies within the tenement have been identified as the Bonya Schist, Division
2 of Arunta Orogenic Domain (Freeman, 1986). This unit is made up of quartzo- feldspathic
muscovite and sericite schists, ranging from pelitic to psammo-pelitic in composition, and has local
occurrences of cordierite, sillimanite, garnet and andalusite. The mine sequence, in addition to these
lithologies, also contains chlorite schist, garnet ± magnetite, quartzite, magnetite quartzite, calc-
silicates, and impure marbles.
The topography of the tenement is dominated by the Jervois Range, composed of Georgina Basin
sediments to the west, and the "J Range," comprised of Bonya Schist, and includes the mine
sequence. Peters et al (1985) recognised three deformation periods in the Jervois area, with
refolding of the mine sequence resulting in the "J" shape of the Bonya Schist outcrop in the
tenement area. Mineralisation in the area occurs mostly as stratiform/bound copper and/or lead-
silver-zinc associated with variable garnet and calc- silicate alteration, although tungsten occurs as
disseminated scheelite in calc-silicate rocks.
In brief, Kentor Minerals (NT) regards the copper-lead-zinc mineralisation as stratigraphic in
nature, probably relating to the discharge of base metal-rich fluids in association with volcanism or
metamorphism or dewatering of the underlying rocks at a particular time in the geological history of
the area. In other words it occurred within a single stratigraphic horizon and is near-
contemporaneous with the sediments that enclose it. In detail there may be several closely-spaced
mineralised zones forming a package at more or less the same stratigraphic horizon representing
episodic emission of fluids over a short period of time. In addition there is almost certainly a
repetition of lithological units due to deformation, with concomitant deformation of the enclosed
mineralised horizons. For example, we interpret the three mineralised zones commonly intersected
during drilling in the Marshall-Reward area as being the same horizon, being the three limbs of an
isoclinal fold. In contrast to the considerable areal extent of the copper mineralisation, the
distribution of lead and zinc is spatially restricted at Jervois and these metals may have accumulated
near points of discharge of metalliferous fluids.
In the Bellbird area mesoscopic and macroscopic folding have complicated the geometry of the
stratigraphic sequence. Consequently the mineralised horizon is not everywhere easy to locate.
Furthermore an interpreted fault in the Rockface area has apparently displaced the succession
causing a substantial geological mismatch across the fault zone.

5.0 PREVIOUS EXPLORATION
Following the discovery of the Jervois mineralisation in the 1920s, some small-scale mining of the
oxides took place and concentrates were transported to Mt Isa for treatment. Since that time, there
has been episodic exploration (including one attempted mining operation) by a succession of
companies. These have been described in some detail in previous annual reports (eg Cranley 2003)
and in the Reward prospectus, so they are merely listed here:
1961 – 1965 New Consolidated Goldfields (Australasia) Pty Ltd
1969 – 1973 Petrocarb Mineral exploration (SA) Pty Ltd
1973 – 1974 Petrocarb Joint Venture with Union Corporation (Australia) Pty Ltd

6.0 WORK DONE DURING THE YEAR
6.2 DRILLING
Although most of the drilling activities were undertaken on the ML’s and MC’s on the Jervois
Project area, there was significant drilling undertaken on EL25429 adjacent to the ML’s and
MC’s. 16 drill holes were located in EL25429. One of those was RJ204, which had a wedged
hole (RJ204W1), was drilled to intersect the Reward mineralisation and to further develop an
understanding of the resource.
Sixteen holes were drilled on EL25429 and these included both diamond and Reverse
Circulation holes. The complete dataset for the drilling program has been included in this annual
report.
A total of 5,399.1 metres of drilling was undertaken on the tenement.
Specific drill holes designed to supply material for metallurgical testing have not been included
in this report as they have been reported in the Annual Report covering the ML’s and MC’s.
6.1.2 Diamond
Based on drilling results from the 2012 program on the Jervois tenements, a significant
follow-up program was designed to increase the resource and to upgrade the status of the
resource.
A total of 1,583.1 metres of NQ diamond drilling was conducted on EL25429 during the
reporting period.
This phase of drilling enabled a good exposure of core to log most geological and structural
parameters which can be used at a later stage for interpretation purposes.

6.1.3 Reverse Circulation
To enable a cost effective upgrade of the resource, RC drilling was utilized extensively over
the tenement.
A total of 3,816.0 metres of Reverse Circulation drilling was undertaken on the Jervois
Project EL25429 in the reporting period.
Figure 4 indicates the drill hole locations for the 2012 drilling program at the Jervois Project
and the holes drilled on EL24529.
All data related to drilling and geological logging is presented in APPENDIX 1 on the
accompanying CD as digital data accompanying this report.

6.3 Regional Exploration
A new exploration zone, preliminary mapped and surveyed with NitonXRF, shows significant
potential of further exploration.
The new area is represented by mica and mica-andalusite-cordierite schist, interbedded with
meta-sandstone/pellite. The south-east and central part is intruded by small bodies and dykes of
dolerite/diabase. Quartzite zones outcrop on the south-east flank. All rocks are tightly folded,
with the main strike of 20-50 degrees repeated in the south-east part of the main Jervois
structure.
There are three types of Quartz veining:
1) lensed veins of white barren quartz, with thickness to the first metres; rose or grey
coloured quartz with blasted texture, solution cavities, ore veinlets and dissemination.
Thickness of veins from 0.5 to 50 cm. Strikes – approx. 2 metres. Often series of
echeloned veins observed
2) two first types are concordant with the host rocks strike. Sometimes at the boundaries of
white, rose or grey type of quartz are developed
3) the third type represented by cross cutting quartz veins. Usually they are grey with
thickness to 20 cm, and strike to first meters. Occasionally veinlets and dissemination of
malachite are observed.
Copper mineralisation was identified within three main zones striking WSW – ENE.
At the northern zone (pts 045-046,055,056,075-076) ore minerals are represented mostly by
malachite and occasionally by chalcocite, in veinlets and disseminations. Sometimes in the
eastern (045-046) and central (075-076) part of the zone, secondary lead (plumbojarosite), zinc
and arsenic (scorodite) mineralised veins occur. In the host rocks, high grade zinc, and lead and,
to a lesser extent, copper is indicated. This type probably indicates the upper level of
mineralisation, comparatively to the Bellbird’s ore.
Mineralisation of the Central zone (pts 0.59, 061 - 064,073-074) hosted in quartzite and quartz
veins are represented by malachite grains, rarely as veinlets. The area is weakly outcropped, and
the area is dominated mostly broad quartz veins and silicified rocks that are not strongly
weathered from the surface.
Mineralisation of the third – Southern zone (pts 066-071) is identified in lensed quartz veins as
dissemination and veinlets of malachite and haematite (limonite). The grade of zinc and lead is
not high there. In the middle of this zone extremely high grade gold was identified in quartz
veining (pt. 068, 50-56 ppm). Gold is accompanied by high levels of Bismuth 0.6-0.95 %, and
some rising arsenic levels (53-130 ppm). These are typical hydrothermal association, and may
indicate a new type of mineralisation within Jervois property.
The mineralisation of the new area is presented by the upper part of copper mineralization, with
high grades of lead and zinc, and rare for the Jervois - gold-bismuth mineralisation. It suggests
mineralised potential of the main property to more, than 1 sq. km. To the NW it is limited by the
Rockface Prospect, other sides are open.
To complete the study area is proposed to undertake a soil sample program on a 100 x 20 m grid,
for more accurate identification of multi element anomalies, and estimation of the lode’s dip.

7.0 CONCLUSION
Resource modeling based on drill hole results from the 2012 program produced a 13% increase in
contained copper to 170,000 tonnes at the Jervois Project. A 20% increase in contained silver to
11.6 Moz, and an additional exploration target potential of 50,000 to 1000,000 tonnes of copper was
a result of the successful campaign.
Metallurgical and feasibility studies into the viability of the project have been on-going for the
reporting period and will continue into the next reporting period.
Significant field work on EL25429 resulted in the discovery of the “Chubko Prospect” which will
be the focus of ground exploration activities during the 2013 field season.
The total resource at Jervois has increased to:
13.5 Mt @ 1.3% copper and 25.8 g/t silver containing 170,416 tonnes of copper and 11.6 million
ounces of silver, based on a cut-off grade of 0.5% copper.
A maiden gold resource of 69,000 ozs has been identified and will be expanded on into 2013.
