ARTISANAL GOLD ACTIVITY OPENS UP NEW GOLD REEF AT SURFACE Artisanal activity, which began three months ago in the vicinity of the historic Bucks Mine, has continued to expose high grade gold mineralisation of up to 16.4g/t within a structure parallel to that hosting the Bucks and the Prestwood Mines. These results are consistent with the intercepts from the 2014 RC drilling programme, and the current geological model. The rehabilitation of the Prestwood shaft is continuing, and within the next two months, underground drilling for the parallel structures close to that shaft is expected to begin. Bucks (36972) Surface Mapping Mapping was carried out on the Bucks claim (36972) South West of the main Bucks Shaft on August 11 th. The monzonite -metabasalt (greenstone) contact was mapped generally trending NE-SW and dipping northwest. Artisanal mining is currently underway and 17 more artisanal shafts have been opened following the same trend NE-SW with the monzonite, metabasalt contact as illustrated in Figure 1 below. Sampling Grab sampling was carried out on each stockpile from the artisanal shaft being mined. Chip sampling was also done in artisanal shafts 8 and 10 underground on faces being mined. 9 samples were collected with the details of gathered samples given in Table 1 below.

Figure 2: Position of the artisanal activity superimposed on image of the total field magnetics (TFM) generated by last year s ground magnetics programme. The dominant SW- NE structural orientation is apparent. Figure 3: Position of the current artisanal activity (yellow star) superimposed on the geological model. The newly active artisanal zone extends for almost 200m along a shear 3

zone parallel to the structures that host both the Bucks and Prestwood ore bodies, and control the monzonite contacts. (Monzonite shown as blue crosses) Conclusions The artisanal zone now extends for around 200m, and is producing high grades from both quartz veining and sheared metabasalt and monzonite. This zone exploits a shear zone that parallels the dominant SW-NE structures that host the Bucks and Prestwood orebodies. The tenor and consistency of the grades gives encouragement to the discovery of more vein hosted high grade structures that can be mined from the existing Bucks and Prestwood Mine infrastructures. In addition the geological model is proving robust. The target of broader disseminated zones at the monzonite-greenstone contact, as suggested by the 2014 surface drilling and from exploitation at the nearby Farvic mine is still valid. Competent Person s Statement The information in this announcement that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Mr Roger Tyler, a Competent Person who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and The South African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Tyler is the Company s Senior Geologist. Mr Tyler has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Tyler consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears. 4

Criteria Sampling techniques JORC TABLE 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data (Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.) Systematic grab sampling from artisanal ore piles, and channel chip samples on exposed reef/ shears. 2kg Samples were collected every metre in triplicate, in addition to a smaller sample retained for reference and logging. Criteria Logging Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation Quality of assay data and laboratory tests Verification of sampling and assaying Location of data points Data spacing and distribution Chip samples have been geologically logged with data recorded in spreadsheet format using standardized codes. Sample weight, moisture content, lithologies, texture, structure, induration, alteration, oxidation and minerlisation were recorded. Field duplicates were produced every 10 th sample. The 2kg samples were crushed and milled (90%, pass-75u) at the Farvic Laboratory. Lab duplicates, blanks and standard material (produced by Geostats and AMIS) were inserted in identical packets to the samples, one per 20 normal samples. Analysis of samples was undertaken at the Farvic Laboratory, using Atomic Absorption, after DIBK dissolution, with a lower limit of detection of 0.03ppm. Standards and duplicates as described above were inserted blind into the batch within the same numbered sequence. Prospect Resources Chief geologist has almost 30 years experience and was on site during the collection and sample pre-preparation. All hard copies of data are retained at the Prospect Resource Exploration offices, attached to the Farvic Mine. All electronic data resides in Excel format on the office desktop, with back-ups retained on hard-drives in a safe. All workings, were initially located with a hand held GPS, which was used to survey in a 20m x 20m grid. The survey system is UTM, using a WGS84 datum and a Clarke 1880 spheroid. Artisanal shafts are at 2m intervals, each with its own ore pile. Chip samples were collected and logged at 1m intervals. Criteria Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Sample security Audits or reviews A ground magnetic survey was recently completed prior to the drilling programme, which established a series of cross cutting shears, which are central to the geological model. One of these shears host the Bucks Reef previously mined at the Bucks Mine in the 1960 s. Prospect Resources does not believe that any sample bias has been introduced which could have a material effect on the resource model, particularly given the strong correlation of mineralisation between holes The chain of custody of samples is maintained by Prospect Resources. The Prestwood Project lies within 3 ½ km of the Farvic. All samples were transported to the Farvic Exploration pre-preparation laboratory by a senior geologist.

Criteria Mineral tenement and land tenure status Exploration done by other parties Geology Drill hole Information Data aggregation methods Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths Diagrams Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results (Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.) The Prestwood Project is covered by a series of extant Mining Claims held under Farvic Consolidated Mines for Prospect Resources. These artisanal workings lie on GA33269 and 36972. These claims have recently been inspected by the local Department of Mines (Gwanda), and copies of these inspection certificates are available from Prospect Resources or the Department on request. No known previous exploration has been undertaken. Channel chip sampling was however undertaken at the old underground workings in the late 50s. The results are recorded on surviving mine plans. Steeply dipping shear and vein hosted lode gold deposits, associated with pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. These structures lie at the contact between meta-basalts and monzonite intrusions of the Gwanda Greenstone Belt, in a similar fashion to the neighbouring producing Farvic Mine. See attachment Criteria Balanced reporting Other substantive exploration data Further work Economic Social, all results have been reported. The drilling grid lies within an approximately 1.2km x 700m grid that was mapped in detail, and surveyed by ground magnetics. This survey was undertaken by independent consultant 3D Exploration of Gaborone, Botswana. The results correlated well with the 4 year old airborne data, and geological observations. Areas underlain by greenstones and monzonites were well delineated In addition the pervasive SW-NE shearing, with a more subtle SE-NW trends were identified. The geological setting is very similar to that at the adjacent Farvic mine, where Prospect Resource geologists have been providing technical input for a number of years. The company intends to complete the pumping out of the old Main Shaft, and then based on these positive results to begin extending the old 2 4 levels. In addition the shaft will be deepened to the now-drilled 5 level. Further geophysics; IP and ground penetrating radar is planned in the vicinity, to target parallel structures, prior to a shirt hole drilling programme in Q3.
