    Notes to accompany Table 3:

    1. The Western Tanami Project Resource estimations were completed using Micromine, Surpac and Datamine software, comprising inverse distance grade interpolation within block models constrained by 3D wire framed geological boundaries. The wireframes defining the mineralisation were based on structural, assay and lithological information.

    2. Various top cuts have been applied to the drill hole samples based on lode domain analysis. Where top cuts were applied they ranged from 35g/t for Sandpiper, a range of 100-250g/t for Coyote and 100 gram metres for Kavanagh.

    3. The Mineral Resource Estimate is reported at a 2.0g/t Au lower cut-off for Coyote, a 5.0g/t Au Cut-off for Kavanagh and 1.0g/t for the remaining Resources.

    4. Tonnes and ounces of gold are rounded to significant figures and grade is rounded to the nearest 0.1g/t Au. Rounding may affect tallies. Stockpile ounces rounded to nearest hundred.

    5. Resource estimation for the Muttley and Kavanagh lodes was completed by Michael Thomson, former Principal Geologist of Tanami Gold, the resource estimation of the remaining Coyote and Sandpiper deposits was completed by Mr Steven Nicholls, former Senior Geologist of Tanami Gold NL. The Kookaburra Resource estimation was conducted by Mr Peter Ball, Director of Datageo Geological Consultants. The Pebbles Resource estimate was completed in 2007 by Mr Malcolm Titley of CSA Australia Pty Ltd.

    6. Mr Thomson, Mr Nicholls (MAIG), Mr Ball (MAusIMM) and Mr Titley (MAusIMM, MAIG) qualify as Competent Persons as defined by the December 2004 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code) and consent to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.

    7. The resource presented in this table has not been depleted by 7,675 ounces mined between January 2013 and June 2013 from the Coyote Mine.

    8. The dates referred to in this table titles (30th April 2014) represent the date of the most recent update of a Resource within this table.

    9. Mineral Resources Annual Statement and Review

      The Company carries out an annual review of its Mineral Resources as required by the ASX Listing Rules. The review was carried out as at 30 June 2017. The estimates for Mineral Resources were prepared and disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 and 2012 Editions.

      No changes were made to the Mineral Resources in the year ending 30 June 2017.

      The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Annual Statement with regard to Mineral Resources and confirms that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
