DEVELOPMENT PIPELINE - NOW

1. Organic growth -3 areas of Project
upside through exploration.
a) GROW Existing deposits
b) CONVERT Resources→Reserves
c) NEW MML prospects & development
GROW RESOURCES & RESERVES
19
KEY to future material growth
A. GROW Existing
• CONDOR - NW extension - 200m+ strike, outcropping mineralisation
with rock chips 9- 24 g/t Au; 2 parallel zones
• SHEARERS/OTWAYS - 2 zones at Shearers west, 250m strike,
recent RC holes 4m @ 1.72 g/t Au, 33m @ 0.59 g/t Au
• OTHERS - small increments
EXPLORATION – ORGANIC GROWTH
20
B. Convert Mineral Resources to
Reserves
Au81 only 2 km from Golden Eagle Plant
• 47,900 Oz Resource 2013
• Excellent 2014 drilling results (ASX 4 June)
• Updated Resource & maiden Reserve expected 2nd Half
Beatons Creek JV
• 421,000 Oz maiden Resource 2013
• JV with Nova Resources
EXPLORATION – ORGANIC GROWTH
21
C. New Prospects Have historical workings (=high grades), ore-grade intersections
and/or rock chips, limited drilling as yet
a) Majuba Hill -800m+ strike within a 1.2 km soils anomaly,
some RAB drilling: 2m @ 6.5 g/t Au, recent 234 g/t Au rock
chip, Golden Eagle ‘look-alike’ alteration style
b) Golden Eagle SW -1,000m+ strike, strong soils, 200m of RAB
anomalism: e.g. 3m @ 2.1, same Golden Eagle alteration,
strongest mineralisation trend
EXPLORATION – ORGANIC GROWTH

1. Figures in Table may not sum due to rounding.
2. The Golden Eagle deposit was estimated using Multiple Indicator Kriging methodology for grade estimation by CSA Global.
3. The Bartons, Shearers, Otways, All Nations, Little Wonder and Au81 were estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology for grade estimation by CSA Global.
4. The Golden Gate (ABCD reef), and Golden Gate satellite deposits, namely Falcon, Condor, Harrier, Crow and G Reef were estimated using Ordinary Kriging.
5. The Golden Gate and Bartons deposits are the subject of a mining licence agreement whereby Millennium has the sole and exclusive right to explore and mine gold and other minerals. Millennium then is required to pay 25% of the net proceeds to
the tenement owners (Livestock Marketing Pty Ltd, Duncan Thomas Young, Simba Holdings Pty Ltd and Ronald Lane Swinney) after mining and processing cost deductions.
6. The Mineral Resources at the Camel Creek JV (CCJV) were estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology by CSA Global. Only Millennium's 50% interest is stated in the above table.
7. The Mineral Resources at Beatons Creek deposit estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology for grade estimation by Tetra Tech Inc. Beatons Creek is subject to a farmin- Joint Venture with Novo Resources Corp (Novo) (CNSX:NVO). Under
the Farm-In agreement Novo may earn a 70% interest in the Beatons Creek tenements by delivering a bankable Feasibility Study on the property within 5 years of commencement of the Agreement which was executed in August 2011. “As Novo
has yet to earn an interest in the Beatons Creek tenements, the Company accounts for 100% of the mineral resource on the Beatons Creek tenements.
The Mineral Resources estimates include previously stated Ore Reserves, and are calculated under the 2004 JORC code.

COMPETENT PERSONS STATEMENTS
30
Patrick Huxtable of Tetra Tech, Perth, Australia, has prepared the Mineral Resource Estimate for the Beatons Creek Gold Project, and is
independent of Novo Resources Corporation for purposes of National Instrument 43‐101 ‐ Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI
43‐101"). Mr Huxtable (RPGeo MAIG) is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43‐101. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have
demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation,
sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues. The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are uncertain in nature
and there has been insufficient exploration to define these inferred resources as an indicated or measured mineral resource and it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in upgrading them to an indicated or measured mineral resource category. The mineral resources in this news release
were estimated using current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) standards, definitions and guidelines.
Competent Persons Statements – Ore Reserves
