    Selene gold deposit has impressive thickness and continuity

    Recommendation Speculative Buy

    Overview

    KAL has increased its resource estimate for the Selene deposit at its Norseman gold

    project by 53%. The indicated and inferred resource is now 14.3 million tonnes averaging

    1.6 g/t gold and containing 720,000 ounces of gold. Including resources at Mt Henry, North

    Scotia and Abbottshall the global Norseman gold project resource now totals 25.8 million

    tonnes averaging 1.7 g/t gold and containing 1.4 million ounces of gold.

    The Selene deposit is hosted in banded iron formation and dips gently at 20 degrees

    towards the west. With down hole intersections in excess of 40 metres in length, the low

    strip ratio and bulk nature of the ore body is expected to lend itself to very low cost open pit

    mining methods. The resource increase is the result of the completion of 1,633 metres of

    RC drilling in October 2007.

    KAL is currently updating its Mt Henry resource to incorporate recent drilling, and is well

    advanced towards the completion of a scoping study for the project in the first quarter of

    2008. Process test work is scheduled for the early part of 2008.

    The Norseman gold project covers 124 sq km of the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt of

    the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. Norseman is the most southern gold mining

    centre of the belt and the region has been a major gold producer with production in excess

    of 6.1 million ounces of gold from 1935.

    The company acquired the project in early 2007. Previous owners included Canadian gold

    mining company, Kinross Gold Corporation.

    The company is also advancing the Clinker Hill nickel sulphide project in the Kambalda

    nickel province. The project is in a favourable geological setting on the western margin of

    the Bulong ultramafic complex. The historic gold mining centre of Bulong is to the north of

    the project, the Blair nickel mine is located 10 km to the west and the Carnilya Hill nickel

    mine is located 20 km to the south.

    Previous mapping has shown that there is a 7 km strike length of relatively under explored

    basal contact zone between the west facing Bulong ultramafic complex and a fractionated

    ultramafic/gabbro sill. A soil sampling program has identified a significant 700 ppm nickel

    anomaly that measures 900 metres by 100 metres in a possibly favourable embayment in

    the basal contact.

    The program also identified a 400 ppm nickel anomaly that extends 5 km along the basal

    contact. Both anomalies are coincident with copper, platinum group elements and cobalt.

    The company intends to conduct ground based EM surveys to assist with the identification

    of drill targets.

    Impact

    Both of KAL’s Selene and Mt Henry mineral resources display continuous and thick

    mineralised zones which will be readily amenable to open pit mining. In particular the

    Selene deposit has a gentle dip which will enhance the economics of a mining operation.

    In addition the company has an impressive nickel sulphide project that with limited further

    work should provide exciting drill targets. These are excellent projects that don’t come along every day.
