Metals Australia is planning to complete road construction to key prospect areas providing all weather
access. This will substantially reduce the cost of all drilling programs. Access to the project is currently
achieved by utilising the network of existing public roads surrounding the project and requires the use of
helicopters to move personnel and equipment within the project area during winter. With the construction
of all-weather roads to key prospect areas within the project, the Company will benefit from lower-cost
access during exploration programs as well as being able to operate twelve (12) months of the year.
The Company is currently preparing its permits for road construction which will be submitted during May
2018 and anticipates receipt of the permits during June 2018. Construction of the roads is expected to
commence during early July 2018 as soon as permits are granted.
Constructing ground access to key prospect areas will provide the Company with all-weather / all-year
access up to and throughout the high priority targets at the project, removing the requirement to have a
helicopter on site to facilitate movement of the drill rig and field crew.
