2. In the December Qrtly IDC mentioned .... "Planned drilling and portal development was temporarily halted during the Christmas-New Year period, to allow for the completion of the Landowner Investigation Study (LIS) on-site, as all accommodation on-site was utilised as part of the LIS"

3. February ann ...” Initial horizontal geotechnical and hydrological drilling was completed on the adit portal in December 2013, with drillholes reinforced and grouted for roof support within the initial 25 metres of oxidised rock.”

3. In the March Qtrly ... "The Company had commenced the initial development of the high grade gold/silver zones, with the preparation of a portal for an underground development drive (adit).
