Name of the Project
Crawford Stage 1 oxide pit project.

Location
East of the Leonora township, in Western Australia.

Project Owner/s
Explorer and gold and nickel project developer Cavalier Resources.

Project Description
The project has probable reserves of one-million tonnes grading 0.91 g/t gold. Stage 1 has a project life of 18 months for total gold production of 23 467 recovered ounces.

Traditional truck-and-shovel operations and processing by heap leaching will be used to mine.

There remains significant upside in increased revenues and total project growth, owing to Stage 1 being constrained to the central oxide portion of the resource and the resource remaining open along strike and depth.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
At a gold price of a$4 600/oz, the project has a net present value, at an 8% discount rate, of A$51.7-million and an internal rate of return of 580%, with a payback of 8.9 months.

Capital Expenditure
Total capital costs are estimated A$9.82-million.
