Proposed equity capital raising

Following the establishment of an expanded Board, the Company intends to renew the capital raising efforts to fund the PFS on its Copper Hill Project which will build on the positive Scoping Study completed in April 2015. The PFS will investigate the viability of a 2 - 3 million tonne per annum (mtpa) mining and processing operation based on the central higher grade mineralisation at Copper Hill and include a review of several optimisation opportunities identified in the Scoping Study.
As part of this program the Company intends to establish a strong leadership team with project development skills to complete the PFS and future project development activities.

R&D Refund

The Company has received in excess of $535,000 from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) being the
2013 and 2015 R&D refunds announced by the Company on 10 August 2015. Planning for the PFS on its Copper Hill Project work program and establishment of the project team is expected to commence shortly.
