Board of Directors
DAVID PORTER - Chairman (Non-Executive)
Mr Porter is a professional geologist and Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy with over 40 years experience in the mining industry, including most facets of exploration and mining. For the past 15 years he has focussed his activities in Africa and was the founding Chairman of Cam Iron SA and Congo Iron SA, both part of the Mbalam Iron Project of Sundance Resources Ltd. The project has a planned output of 35 million tonnes per annum of high grade iron ore and is at development stage which involves capital expenditure of $4.7 billion. He was also instrumental in the development of two coal projects in the Waterberg region of South Africa which are at development stage. Prior to Mr Porter's project generation activities in Africa he was managing director of three ASX-listed exploration companies, all of which developed gold and base metal projects. In Diversified Mineral Resources he supervised the resource definition at the Agbaou gold deposit in Cote d'Ivoire into plus one million ounces of gold. Africwest Gold acquired the nickel deposits at Kambalda and developed into a leading Australian nickel producer while Golden Rim Resources is now developing gold resources in Burkina Faso.
Mr Porter was an executive director and exploration manager of Gasgoyne Gold Mines NL from 1989 until 1996, and managed the Yilgarn Star feasibility study in 1990/1991. Gasgoyne produced over 100,000 ounces of gold per year from the Yilgarn Star Mine until it was taken over in
1996 by Sons of Gwalia Ltd in a A$180 million transaction. In the period from 1971 to 1989, Mr Porter worked for many international mining companies, with small ASX-listed companies and as an independent consultant on gold, base metal, iron ore and coal projects
JUSTIN VIRGIN - Executive Director
Mr Virgin has over ten years experience in the financial services industry (stockbroker) with expertise in providing a wide range of financial services which includes capital raisings, providing general corporate advice and promotion of small-cap companies and other investment advice involved in M&A and valuation for sale of SMEs.
Mr Virgin's background also includes 12 years experience in the running of a contracting business involved in Electrical fleet maintenance, Logistics and site closures on remote and isolated mine sites throughout Western Australia and Northern Territory. He also has experience in sales and financing of capital equipment.
Paul Dickson- Vice Chairman (Non-Executive)
Mr Dickson is a director of Proserpine Capital Partners Pty Ltd, a Melbourne based Private Equity Firm, and a non-executive director of ASX listed Alligator Energy Ltd and unlisted Oil and Gas service provider Condor Energy Ltd. He has over twenty five years' experience in the securities and finance industries. The majority of his career was spent at tier one firm Ord Minnett Ltd.

Jonathan Lim - Director (Non-Executive)
Mr. Lim is currently the Executive Director and Chairman of Catalist-listed Adventus Holdings Limited in Singapore.
He founded Romar Positioning Equipment in 1984, which was ranked 3rd place in the Singapore Enterprise E50 Awards in 2007 and then sold to 5
MNC in 2008.
Drilling Objectives & Geology
The drilling program's aim is to increase the project's size and expand the current designed mine life (open pit of 8 months followed by an underground operation of 14 months) to a 3 to 5 year operation. If this is achievable the project's economics substantially change. Once completed, the mining plan will be updated, along with the conversion of mineral resources to be in accordance with JORC (2012 Edition) Guidelines and incorporate recent drilling results.
Terrain plan to drill up to 4,000m of RC drilling which targets Four Key Areas around the existing JORC
2004 compliant resource:
» Both the Eastern & Western strike extensions will be tested for additional high grade zones.
» Confirmation & extension drilling, within & around the current resource, has been designed to add to the current integrity & sizes of resource (Refer to diagram 1 & 2).
» Exploration target 270m~ to the west of the known mineralisation recorded one intersection along strike of RC077: 1m at 25.5gt (Refer to diagram 1). This intersection was between the 450mRL to
400mRL levels (70m to 120m below surface). This zone carries the main high grade mineralisation at
Great Western.
Great Western mineralisation is structurally controlled and hosted within quartz:
» Oxide for the first ~20m - this mineralisation is excluded from the current mining plan.
» Transitional material between 20m - 70m.
» Fresh country rock from >70m. 6
