5 Projects Overview Potential to host large-scale gold deposits Balagundi located 20km east of the Kalgoorlie Super Pit, includes significant historical workings and high grade drill intersections close to processing facilities Tarmoola a large-scale regional geochemical anomaly which incorporates the operating King of the Hills and Gwalia gold deposits, recently confirmed and defined by GBR geochemistry programme Jundee South 10km along strike from the Jundee Gold Mine (+7Moz) and containing the Jundee mine host rocks and surface gold Broadwood located adjacent to the Binduli gold mine and 10km west of the Kalgoorlie Super Pit Yamarna Immediately west of the Gold Fields Gold Road Gruyere JV. Potential for Au and Ni-Cu 5

6 Balagundi Project Potential for near-term development Located just east of the Kalgoorlie Super Pit (KCGM) and south of Northern Star Resources operations Local infrastructure advantage Significant high-grade historical workings confirmed by recent GBR drilling Only partially tested by drilling significant discovery potential remains Mineralised vein systems extend over strike lengths of several hundred metres GBR has executed a JV agreement to earn a 75% interest through exploration expenditure of $1,000,000 over 5 years 1.
