Summary of Presentation Persistence Strong technical team Two end member styles of mineralisation.. vein-hosted nuggety (early Rompas discoveries) a sulphidic disseminated variety (Rajapalot) Gold is found in outcrop and in a series of boulder fields The first systematic drilling of the disseminated Rajapalot system was early (winter) 2017 and Rompas was first drilled in 2012 Strong shareholder support in project and timescale

The age: highly prospective host rocks Palokas and Rompas gold mineralization is a similar age to many other major systems. 10
Homestake vs Palokas Homestake's Main Ledge from the bottom of the mine (~2700m depth). Garnet-grunerite schist mineralized with pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. 8-10 g/t gold. Source: C. Edmunds Drill hole PRAJ00003 @ 2.70 metres. Chloritepyrrhotite, cummingtonite, quartz schist. 24.0 g/t gold.
Homestake vs Palokas - boulders Large boulder from the Homestake Formation the host to the mineralization. A metamorphosed iron formation, now a grunerite-chloritesiderite schist collected from the mine workings. A grunerite/anthophyllitechlorite schist collected from the Boardwalk area, Rajapalot.
Persistence.
Progress is slow, but valuable Hand-portable drilling JKS4M, Winkie, 25 mm drill core, self-operated Winter 2015-16 Energold series 3, NQ2 core Winter 2016-17 Larger tracked drill rigs the first systematic test of the Rajapalot system.

Back to the Rompas area This time, gold outside Natura gaining year-round drill access
Conclusions A large gold camp > 100 sq km with a variety of mineralized gold occurrences, apparently all related. Persistence, cooperation and retention of staff during slower times have retained the knowledge critical to making advances Modern exploration requires a strong multidisciplinary technical team covering all the bases = Mawson
