Lake Torrens Project SummaryLake Torrens Project Summary

• > 2,000 km2 of tenements adjacent to Olympic Dam

• Six IOCGU targets within ~ 35 km of Olympic Dam

• Vulcan - new IOCGU system discovered Nov 2009

-30 km north of Olympic Dam

- IOCGU mineralisation - Cu, Au, Ag, U, (+ Mo, REE etc)

- 57 m of strong Cpy/Py mineralisation in VUD 3

- similar target area to OD > 11 km2 -virtually untested

- 5 drill holes to date – all mineralised

- drilling resumed Jan 2011
