FOR THE PERIOD ENDING 31 Mar 2017

CORPORATE

Cash and Cash Equivalents

As at 31 March 2017, the Company had cash of $ 5,011,125.

Joint Venture with Northern Star Resources Limited

As previously announced, the Company and Northern Star Resources Limited ("NST") have formed an unincorporated joint venture

("JV") to advance the Company's Central Tanami Project ("CTP").

In accordance with the JV, management of the exploration activities at the Company's CTP have been handed over to NST who will sole fund all JV expenditure including all CTP exploration and evaluation costs, assessment and development costs, mining of the JV tenements and refurbishing the CTP process plant and associated infrastructure, during the Sole Funding Period.

The Sole Funding Period will expire on the date on which the process plant at the CTP has been refurbished to operating condition and has operated for a continuous 30 day period or has produced 5,000 ounces of gold ore (whichever occurs first). On the expiry of the Sole Funding Period, NST will have earned a further 35% undivided interest in the CTP (taking NST's total JV Interest to 60%).

Northern Star Resources Limited Shares

As at 31 March 2017, the Company has 750,000 NST shares remaining.

EXPLORATION

Central Tanami Project (75% Tanami)

Field activities were limited due to the onset of the wet season conditions. An extensive remedial program covering legacy environmental and rehabilitation issues has continued.

Meetings with senior DPIR representatives in Darwin addressed outstanding issues for the CTP MMP including following multiple requests for additional documents and maps. At the end of the quarter, verbal approval of the CTP MMP was received pending a final determination of bonding requirements from the Security Board.

Compilation of historical data continued over the Tanami Mine Corridor Trend. All legacy GIS mapping datasets over the Tanami Mine Corridor have been compiled and aligned with the NST logging system. Geological mapping and sampling continued with the objective to validate existing bedrock mapping and to characterise the overlying regolith. A total of 777 samples were collected from historical drill holes for lithogeochemical analysis.

A review of historical gravity data was undertaken over the Tanami Mine Corridor to identify additional areas of interest. A significant proportion of raw gravity data acquired by Normandy/Newmont is missing however reprocessing of available data produced positive preliminary results and expansion of the regional gravity data coverage is planned.

Detailed geological pit mapping of the Jim's open pit was completed with the deposit interpreted to sit in a strike-slip duplex structure. This model will assist exploration on prospects along strike from the deposit, towards the Cave Hill (southeast) and Molech/Flores (northwest) areas.

Regolith mapping over the Farrands Hill region was completed to optimise the design of a planned geochemical sampling program.

Western Tanami Project (100% Tanami)

Resampling of 3m composite samples from reverse circulation drilling completed during November 2016 at both Rabid South and the Nugget Patch have been completed and results received are listed in Tables 1 and 2. Note that a full listing of drilling locations and a JORC Code table for reporting of exploration results provided with the December 2016 Quarterly report so not repeated here.
