§ Sampling reported is of a reconnaissance nature and not for the purposes of the delineation of a mineral resource.

§ Historic intervals reported have been composited where 4m samples are identified.  Results reported are length weighted averages.

§ The aim of each companies drill program is listed below with Salk, Newton (Kelpler) and Jenner targets all reconnaissance in nature.  Drilling at Eileen Bore Prospect was reconnaissance at first with subsequent companies using various forms of geophysics to target massive sulphide. 

§ No orientation bias has been identified due to the reconnaissance nature of the drilling and the lack of structural understanding.
