    RMC Exploration Update on Wowo Gap
    Highlights:
    • First Diamond Drilling results show positive grades
    • Diamond drilling progress is improving
    • Wacker Drilling program to be initiated to ‘scout drill’ laterite potential to the
    South on the Ansuna Plateau prior to Diamond Drilling

    Assay Results
    The first two batches of assay data have been received from the first 3 holes reported
    using a 0.5% Ni lower cut off grade:
    • WGDH027a: 1.7m @ 1.06% Ni from 3.4m (abandoned at 5.1m)
    • WGDH027b: 2.2m @ 0.73% Ni from 4.8m (re-drill of WGDH027a)
    • WGDH028: 15.3m @ 0.85% Ni from 2.1m
    These results are particularly encouraging as they indicate the laterite profile remains
    open towards the western extent of the project, at the limit of previous drilling (see
    Figure 1).
    Samples from a further 6 holes for approximately 140 metres of drilling have been
    sent for assay determination. Assay turnaround is three to four weeks.
    Diamond Drilling
    The Company now has two drill rigs in operation at the Wowo Gap Nickel Project. As
    previously reported, there were start up issues with the drilling program and progress
    has been slower than planned.
    An RMC team was dispatched to PNG to review procedures in the field and
    investigate problems with the drilling contractor. Technical issues associated with ‘tiedown’,
    hydraulic oil pressures and head pressure on the rigs were identified as the
    reasons for poor drill performance. These matters have been addressed and drilling
    rates have improved appreciably over the last two weeks with a 20 metre hole
    typically being completed every other day. Further refinement in drilling operations
    should provide additional increases in the drilling rate.
    The company has completed a total 238 metres of drilling. By October, diamond
    drilling will be completed over the current resource area and heading south towards
    the Ansuna Plateau to test resource extensions. Concurrently, a wacker drilling
    programme in the south has been added to the exploration plan and will provide
    additional data over this period.
    Laterite Profile
    Geological logging of holes drilled to date (along lines 8944000N and 8944800N; see
    Figure 1) confirm the presence of both limonite and saprolite across the width of this
    area with hole depths varying from 13 to 32 metres. Holes are typically finished once
    the ultramafic bedrock is encountered.
    Ground Penetrating Radar
    Preliminary GPR interpretation indicates that the thickness of the limonite profile
    increases towards the south. Encouraging results have been received from the
    southern most line (8941000N) with initial interpretation showing good thicknesses of
    limonite profile. However, until the survey work is completed which will provide
    accurate survey control for height determinations, the GPR interpretation remains
    preliminary.
    Exploration Potential
    A 5 metre deep historical pit (see Figure 1) was located close to the southern most
    GPR line (8940715mN, 707561mE). The pit confirms the existence of limonite in the
    area, which adds further support to the preliminary GPR interpretation that suggests
    the resource extends to the south. The pit has been mapped and sampled with results
    expected in September. A Wacker rig has been ordered to scout drill this area prior to
    diamond drilling to assess the extent and grade of the limonite.
