Sampling techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Sampling data was derived from historical diamond drilling completed by Mount Burgess in 2008

Quarter core HQ (63.5mm) was derived from Holes KDD115 and KDD143 Quarter core NQ (47.6..) was derived from Hole KDD125

Quarter core samples were collected using a diamond saw with a quarter of the core being dispatched to the laboratory, and a quarter retained. Individual samples were taken one metre intervals. Half of the core was utilized for assaying purposes historically and was not available for sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

The core cuts well with little material loss or contamination and is cut perpendicular to the prevailing structure (mostly bedding) observed in the core.

Criteria

JORC Code Explanation

Commentary

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report.

In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which 3kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fire assay'). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Cut core samples from the Mount Burgess drilling were dispatched using a reputable local contract courier from site to the laboratory where quarter core was dried, then crushed and pulverised to allow 100% to pass -75 microns.

Mount Burgess inserted duplicates, blanks and certified reference materials into sample series collectively at a rate of approximately 1 in 20.

Mineralisation is contained in both oxide and sulphide material. Studies and recent observations have shown very low levels of deleterious elements in both material types.

Mount Burgess has comprehensive procedures and protocols in place to ensure that 'Industry Standard' sampling processes are employed as a minimum.

Drilling techniques

Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

The diamond drilling was undertaken using non-orientated HQ Standard Tube and NQ Standard Tube diamond drilling techniques.

Drill sample recovery

Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.

Core recovery has been logged for all of the Mount Burgess drilling, averaging 95% in both waste and mineralised material. Core blocks are inserted by the drillers at the end of each drilling run, noting the run length, and downhole depth. This data is then compared to the measured recovered core length and recoveries for each run and the entire hole are calculated. Given the nature of the drilling, and the type of mineralisation encountered to date the sampling is judged as being representative.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

The core collected by Mount Burgess is largely very competent with routine core run lengths of approximately 1.5m. Run lengths were reduced accordingly in fractured or broken ground.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

There is no evidence of bias exists due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material from the Mount Burgess drill core. Core recovery averages 95% in both waste and mineralised rock.

Logging

Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

All Mount Burgess drill holes have been geologically logged on geological intervals recording lithology, grain size and distribution, alteration, mineralisation, veining, structure, oxidation state, colour and geotechnical data noted and stored in the database. All holes were logged to a level of detail sufficient to support future mineral resource estimation, and studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.

Oxidation, colour, alteration and mineralisation are logged qualitatively. All other values are logged quantitatively. All holes have been photographed and are stored in a database.

Criteria

JORC Code Explanation

Commentary

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All drill holes have been logged over their entire length (100%) including any mineralised intersections. To date the average core loss is less than 5%

Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.

All Mount Burgess core was quarter cut using a table diamond saw, typically producing samples for lab submission of approximately 1kg weight.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.

No non-core drilling techniques have been employed by Mount Burgess.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

1m sampling intervals were selected for re-assay, the core was then quarter cut and inserted into pre numbered calico bags. Cut core samples were dispatched from site to the laboratory where quarter core was dried, then crushed to -2mm, riffle-split to obtain a 100g sub-sample and pulverised to allow 100% to pass -75µm. The sample preparation technique is deemed appropriate.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.

Mount Burgess quality control procedures include following standard procedures when sampling, including sampling on geological intervals, and reviews of sampling techniques in the field. Mount Burgess core was typically cut at the maximum angle to the prevailing penetrative structure in the core.

The laboratory procedures applied to the Mount Burgess sample preparation included the use of cleaning lab equip. w/ compressed air between samples, quartz flushes between high grade samples, insertion of crusher duplicate QAQC samples, periodic pulverised sample particle size (QAQC) testing and insertion of laboratory pulp duplicates QAQC samples.

Quality control procedures employed for sub-sampling of the historical drilling are not documented in reports.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.

As half of the core was utilized for historical assay purposes, ½ core was available for sampling. As such, no field duplicates were taken. Duplicate sub-samples were derived from riffle splitting in the laboratory from the ¼ core submissions to allow retention of ¼ core in the field .

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.

The expected sample weight for 1m of quarter core is approximately 1kg. This sample weight should be sufficient to appropriately describe base metal mineralisation grades from mineral particle sizes up to 5mm.

Quality of assay data and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.

The laboratory has used a four acid digestion process that is able to dissolve most minerals; however, although the term "near-total" is used, depending on the sample matrix, all elements may not be quantitatively extracted. The analysis techniques employed are ICP-AES (Atomic Emission Spectroscopy), with ICP-AAS (Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy typically used to quantify higher grade base metal mineralisation. The digestion method and analysis techniques are deemed appropriate for the nature of the mineralisation.

Commentary

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Hand held XRF equipment has been used historically to determine preliminary Zn and Pb concentrations in Mount Burgess core.

No geophysical or other tools were used to assess grade concentrations in samples from the re-assayed core results reported here.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Mount Burgess inserts QA/QC samples (duplicates, blanks and standards) into the sample series at a rate of approx. 1 in 20. These are tracked and reported on by Mount Burgess for each batch. When issues are noted the laboratory is informed and investigation conducted defining the nature of the discrepancy and whether further check assays are required. The laboratory completes its own QA/QC procedures and these are also tracked and reported on by Mount Burgess. Acceptable overall levels of analytical precision and accuracy are evident from analyses of the routine QAQC data.

Verification of sampling and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.

Significant mineralised intersections from the Mount Burgess drilling have been routinely checked by Mount Burgess personnel, and independent consultants in April 2106.

The use of twinned holes.

No information from twinned drill holes is reported. The assay results reported are check assays utilizing remnant half core from historical drilling.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

All Mount Burgess geological, sampling, and spatial data generated and captured in the field is entered into a field notebook on standard Excel templates. This information is then sent to Mount Burgess's in house database manager for further validation. Once complete and validated the data is then compiled into a Microsoft managed by an external consultant.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.

No adjustments or calibrations have been made to any assay data.

Location of data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used.

Downhole surveys of the Mount Burgess drill holes show no significant down hole deviations. It is therefore assumed that the orientations of the diamond drill holes are adequately defined based on the logged collar orientation data.

Specification of the grid system used.

Two grid systems are used at Kihabe-Nxuu:

1) WGS 84, Zone 34 South and

2) Local grid 10000E/10000N = WGS 500,835E/7,821,551N bearing 330 degrees

All spatial information is reported in both co-ordinate systems to allow data to be easily utilized in a range of GIS and mine planning software.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Topographic control was derived using the Digital Ground Penetrating radar technique and was supplied by a local licensed surveyor. The information is of sufficient accuracy to confirm the location of the drill collars.

Data spacing and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Drill hole orientation and spacing is non-uniform as samples were selected for re-assay on a representivity basis using metallurgical domaining as a guide for sample selection.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity

The data spacing and distribution is not considered sufficient to establish an appropriate degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for classification of Indicated and

Inferred Mineral Resources. Assay results have been used for drill hole planning purposes and metallurgical test work only.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

No sample compositing was applied as samples were used for metallurgical test work within discrete domains.

Orientation of data in relation to geological structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.

Drilling orientations were chosen to achieve sample representivity on true thickness intervals, normal, or near normal to known geological controls.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is not considered to have introduced a sampling bias

Sample security

The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples from the Mount Burgess drilling are dispatched from the drilling using a single reputable contracted courier service to deliver samples directly to the analytical laboratory where further sample preparation and analysis occurs.

Audits or reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

Mount Burgess conducts regularly reviews of sampling techniques and material sampled to ensure any change in geological conditions is adequately accounted for in sample preparation. Reviews of assay results and QA/QC results occur for each batch. 1 in 20 checks on all compiled and entered data are completed by Mount Burgess.

Jorvik Resources was retained to undertake a review of the sampling techniques and data in April 2016. Jorvik considers the sampling procedures used by Mount Burgess and resulting data to be appropriate, and aligned with industry standard methodologies
