Vulcan IOCGU Discovery

• 1981 WMC: first hole – SHD 1; barren, off - structure

• 2009 Tasman reinvestigation:

– New gravity data

– Geophysical remodelling

– Tectonic data synthesis

– GA seismic reinterpreted

• 2009 Tasman drills VUD 1 at north – hits Vulcan IOCGU system

• 2010 Further gravity, modelling, 4 further holes (at north)

• 2011 Further 3 holes (north and east)

• 2011 (Oct) Tasman announces conditional Rio Tinto JV

• 2012 (Sept- Dec) 4 holes (5,200m) (at south)

• 2013 (March- Sept) ≈ 5 holes (6,800m) -Tasman managing4

Vulcan - Summary

• Large hematite-dominent IOCGU system (~ 12km2) 30km

north of Olympic Dam

• Hosted by granite, volcanics and metasediments(?)

• 12 holes drilled and assayed:

– Very thick & strong alteration, inc.100’s metres of hematite

breccias; intense sericite and carbonate alteration

– Very thick, low grade IOCGU mineralisation (Cu, U, Au, Ag, Mo,

REE)

– Narrower, high grades locally

• Mineralisation dated at 1590my by Re-Os (PACE 2020)

• Tasman – Rio Tinto JV – 4 holes Sept 2012 (5,200m)

• March 2013 – 6,800 m drilling programme commenced

Vulcan GeochronologyRe187 - Os187 in MoS2 (PACE* 2020)

• MoS2 (molybdenite)

widespread at Vulcan -

ideal for direct dating of

mineralisation

• 4 samples from 3 holes -

average age 1590 Ma

• 1590 Ma consistent with

age of GRV and nearby

IOCGU systems

* Program for Accelerating

Disclaimer

The interpretations and conclusions reached in this presentation are basedon current geological theory and the best evidence available to the authorsat the time of writing. It is the nature of all scientific conclusions that theyare founded on an assessment of probabilities and, however high theseprobabilities might be, they make no claim for complete certainty.

Any economic decisions that might be taken on the basis of interpretationsor conclusions contained in this report will therefore carry an element ofrisk.

It should not be assumed that the reported Exploration Results will result,with further exploration, in the definition of a Mineral Resource.
