1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Location and Access

Tenements, EPM 11453 “Rankin Extended”, EPM 11711 “Termite Range”, EPM 11773 “Termite Range Extended”, EPM 12195 “Victor Creek North”, EPM 12374 “Devil’s Own” and EPM 12747 “Grevillea South” (Figure 1) are located approximately 250 kilometres NNW of Mount Isa and 50 kilometres SE of the Century mine. The area is very sparsely populated and the main land use is cattle grazing. Mount Isa is the nearest centre of population.

Access to the leases is via unsealed, but well maintained, gazetted roads connecting Lawn Hill National Park, located to the north of the tenure, to the Gregory Downs town ship and Mount Isa. Station tracks provide adequate dry-weather access to most areas within the tenement. Unsealed airstrips are available at Riversleigh homestead and near the Grevillea prospect.

The perennial Gregory and O’Shannasy Rivers flow through the tenements and provide adequate drinking water. Ground water is also available from a number of water bores.

The physiography varies from broad open black soil plains and alluvial plains adjacent to the Gregory and O’Shannasy Rivers to low undulating sandstone hills in the north. Steep sided quartzite ridges are common in the eastern portion of the tenement and flat lying Cambrian limestone forms a plateau in the west. Isolated rugged outcrops of Tertiary limestone (map symbol Tc) that contain the ‘Riversleigh vertebrate fossil fauna’ occur in the adjoining tenement, EPM 7797.

Most of the area is open woodland or grassland typified by Eucalyptus brevifolia and E. leucopholia (snappy gum), Acacia shirleyi (lancewood) and Triodia pungens (spinifex). Bauhinia trees (Lisiphyllum cunninghamii) and turpentine wattle (Acacia chisolmii) forms dense thickets in the east of the tenement package.

The climate is semi-arid to sub-humid tropical, comprising a long dry winter and a short summer wet season with an average rainfall of 500 - 800mm during December to March. Summer maximum temperatures often exceed 40°C and winter minima can be below 5°C.

1.2 Tenure

The tenements, Tenements, EPM 11453, EPM 11711, EPM 11773, EPM 12195 , EPM 12374 and EPM 12747 are held by SmartTrans Holdings Limited (SMA).

Following the discovery of the Grevillea Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation on adjoining tenement EPM 7797 in 1993, six additional tenements were applied for and granted in September 2004.

1.3 Regional Geology

Introduction

The regional geology of the Proterozoic rocks of north was summarised by Blake (1987) and Blake et al. (1990), who divided the area into four major stratigraphic units. The oldest sequence, designated basement by Blake et al. (1990), was deformed and metamorphosed during the Barramundi Orogeny that ended at about 1870 Ma. Cover sequence 1 consists of the Leichhardt Volcanics. It is overlain by cover sequence 2 that contains a thick sequence of clastics and volcanics, now known to include the Fiery Creek Volcanics (1709 Ma), Peters Creek Volcanics (1726 Ma) and the Weberra Granite. The youngest stratigraphic package, cover sequence 3, dates from about 1680 to 1590 Ma, and includes the Bigie Formation, Carters Bore Rhyolite (1678 Ma), Surprise Creek Formation and three laterally separate lithostratigraphic groups: the Fickling, McNamara and Mount Isa Groups. The Fickling Group is restricted to the north and separated from the central McNamara Group by the Elizabeth Creek Fault Zone; whereas, the Mount Gordon Fault Zone and Mount Isa Fault separate the McNamara and Mount Isa Groups. These groups are temporal equivalents and each contains Zn-Pb-Ag mineralisation at different levels of the stratigraphy (see McConachie et al., 1993 and McConachie and Dunster, 1996). They are also chronostratigraphic equivalents of the highly-prospective McArthur Group in the . Exploration within the Gregory tenements has focused on the McNamara Group, as described in the next section. Younger Proterozoic sedimentary rocks (the South Nicholson Group) crop out extensively to the north, but are absent in the tenement.

The tenement area contains several post-Proterozoic sedimentary sequences. The Georgina Basin consists of Cambrian limestone, with a patchy basal sandstone/breccia. It is largely restricted to the west of the tenement package, where it is sufficiently thick to be a hindrance to exploration. Rare isolated remnants of Mesozoic clastics of the Carpentaria Basin also occur. Each of the unconformities, as well as the present land surface, is associated with the development of regolith and superimposition of the various unconformity surfaces has been observed.

PAGE 4 JANUARY 2006 McNamara Group Stratigraphy and Depositional Setting

The Proterozoic McNamara Group, is a package of clastics, carbonates and mixed carbonate/siliciclastics that have been described by Hutton and Sweet (1982), Hutton and Wilson (1984, 1985) and Sweet and Hutton (1980, 1982) as generally being conformable. The upper portion of the group was studied in detail by Andrews (1996) who recognised chronostratigraphic breaks and significant lateral variation. These were postulated to be widespread within certain parts of the group (McConachie and Dunster, 1998) and Jackson et al. (1996) and Southgate et al. (1996) which identified several major inter- and intraformational sequence boundaries, some of which probably correspond to major periods of non-deposition. The sequence stratigraphy is documented by Bradshaw et al. (1996a,b), Krassay et al. (1997a,b) and Sami et al. (1997). The geochronology is described by Page and Sweet (1998).

As listed below, there are nine formations within the McNamara Group. Together, these constitute up to 12 kilometres of stratigraphy in the Mount Oxide/Mammoth Mines area, but thin to the north. The postulated environments of deposition include shallow marine to locally emergent hypersaline environments on a ramp/shelf complex with some periods of deep water deposition (widespread shales at maximum flooding surfaces in several formations) and possible fluvial phases corresponding to maximum regressions (parts of Shady Bore Quartzite).

Some fault activity appears to have persisted during deposition of the Surprise Creek, Torpedo Creek and lower Gunpowder Creek Formations (Bull, 1998; Keele, 1994) and this accounts for some of the local sedimentological variations in these formations. Elsewhere, there is convincing evidence of renewed tectonic activity at mid- Gunpowder time (Scott et al., 1996). In contrast, the package from upper Gunpowder Creek Formation to Lady Loretta Formation was probably deposited on a tectonically stable tabular ramp. This is exemplified by the Esperanza Formation that contains distinctive conical stromatolites that cover hundreds of square kilometres, inside and outside the tenement package. The Shady Bore Quartzite marks the emergence of a ramp wedge that thins and shallows to the north. Seismic data from north of the tenement can be interpreted to suggest that the Riversleigh Siltstone was deposited during a period of active growth faulting regionally (Bradshaw et al., 1998). However, specific evidence of growth faulting during the deposition of the Riversleigh Siltstone in EPM 7797 cited by Scott (verbal presentation and hand-outs at NABRE workshop, March 1997) are equivocal (J.Dunster, pers comm.). More stable conditions prevailed as the Termite Range Formation and lower Lawn Hill Formation were deposited as a series of deep-water ramp wedges that thin north. Another period of growth faulting produced localised half-grabens during the deposition of mid Lawn Hill Formation. A stable ramp was re-established by upper Lawn Hill Formation time.

The Palaeoproterozoic Lady Loretta Formation (1647±4 Ma), Riversleigh Siltstone (>1636 Ma, <1647 Ma) and the Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic Lawn Hill Formation (1615±5 Ma - 1589±10 Ma) are the thickest units in the McNamara Group (each exceeds two kilometres in places). These formations include the most significant shale accumulations in the group and two major Zn-Pb deposits, Lady Loretta and Century, are within the Lady Loretta and mid Lawn Hill Formations respectively. Mineralisation at Grevillea occurs in the Riversleigh Siltstone.

Structural Geology

The tenement package lies within the Riversleigh Fold Zone of McConachie et al. (1993) which is part of the Lawn Hill Platform of Blake et al., (1990) (Fig. 2), a relatively less deformed and unmetamorphosed element of the Mount Isa Inlier (Blake et al., 1990). The tenure is located over an interpreted zone of major NW trending faults including the Termite Range Fault (TRF) and a parallel lineation along the Cambrian limestone escarpment.

The TRF divides the region into two broad structural domains. Regional scale folding is well defined by outcrops of Shady Bore Quartzite (Pms), Riversleigh Siltstone (Pmr) and units within the Lady Loretta Formation (Pml). Folds have an overall NW-SE axial trend, plunging to the NW. Variation in the orientation of primary and secondary folds either side of the TRF has been attributed to a regional compressive deformation that took place during the Isan Orogeny, between about 1620 Ma and 1500 Ma. This basin inversion and regional wrenching resulted in predominantly north-south structural trends including upright folding, high and low angle faulting, and regional low-pressure metamorphism in the south (O’Dea et al., 1995). According to Blake et al. (1990) and Blake and Stewart (1992), the NNE trending faults are sinistral; the NNW are dextral. However, the NNW trending TRF has a present sinistral offset. Considerable, largely strike slip, faulting and fault reactivation has taken place since 1550 Ma. Local variation in fold trends is also likely to relate to post-1550 Ma fault block rotation.

Detailed air-photo lithostructural analysis in the Kamarga Dome area (Allan,1995) and field work around the Lady Loretta Deposit (Keele, 1994; Bull, 1996, 1998) has highlighted 'early' extensional (rift-related) structures (Torpedo Creek Quartzite time) that may have provided important fluid pathways for mineralisation. These extensional faults and their inverted equivalents are believed to be related to a changeover from rift to passive margin setting (Dunster and McConachie, 1998).

Uplift and erosion are believed to have occurred prior to the Cambrian but several of the major faults offset Cambrian rocks and so must be younger. Younger periods of uplift and exhumation have been inferred from apatite fission track studies. These studies were interpreted to suggest a relatively rapid exhumation of over 2 kilometres of stratigraphy associated with the mid-Carboniferous Alice Springs Orogeny (Spikings et al., 1996). The flat-lying Mesozoic cover contains very few faults.

1.4 Exploration Rationale

The project area covers highly prospective units of the Palaeo- to Mesoproterozoic McNamara Group (time equivalent of the Fickling, Mount Isa and McArthur Groups) ranging from the Lady Loretta Formation to the Lawn Hill Formation. The Lawn Hill Platform is host to several styles of base metal (Cu-Pb-Zn-Ag) mineralisation including:

PAGE 6 JANUARY 2006

● Sediment-hosted Isa / McArthur type Pb-Zn-Ag deposits, e.g. Century (105Mt @ 12.1% Zn, 1.75% Pb, 46 g/t Ag), Lady Loretta (8.3Mt @ 18.4% Zn, 8.4% Pb, 125 g/t Ag); as well as significant Zn(Pb-Ag) mineralisation at Grevillea (Jenkins et al., 1998).

● Sediment-hosted disseminated / vein (brecciated) copper deposits eg. Lady Annie, Mammoth (26.4Mt @ 1.9% Cu: sericite-chlorite and K-feldspar alteration halo), Mount Oxide.

● Brecciated, shear related discordant Pb-Zn-Ag deposits eg. Silver King (0.7Mt @ 7.5% Pb, 5% Zn, 56 g/t Ag).

● Stratabound copper in clastic sedimentary rocks of the Torpedo Creek and Gunpowder Formations - widespread low grade mineralisation (with low U-Mo tenor).

● Stratabound Pb-Zn: eg. 'JB Style', fracture filling, disseminated, replacive sph- gn-py in dolomitic siltstone dolarenite - also Walford Creek pyrite lenses.

The Company’s primary target is a large (Century - Isa type) stratiform base metal Zn- Pb-Ag deposit within underexplored mid - upper McNamara Group dolomitic and carbonaceous rocks (ie Lady Loretta to Lawn Hill Fm). Secondary targets include:

● Replacive Isa-style Cu deposits in dolomitic lithologies adjacent to major structures (?structurally controlled or late syndiagenetic).

● Structurally controlled epigenetic Cu mineralisation in dolomitic lithologies adjacent to major faults and associated structures.

Favourable features within the project area include:

● Tectono-stratigraphic setting within extensional environment, sag phase sedimentation with growth faulting.

● Presence of northeast trending faults to provide fluid pathways - as discussed in Section 1.3 there is some evidence that these structures are early growth / extensional features and therefore had access to migrating basinal brines.

● Presence of the Grevillea Zn (Pb-Ag) prospect within a favourable carbonaceous, pyritic(-dolomitic) siltstone and shale sub-basin within the Riversleigh Siltstone - indicative of circulation of metalliferous fluids in the region.

PAGE 7 JANUARY 2006 1.5 Previous Exploration

Historically, the Lawn Hill region has been intensely explored since the 1950’s. Companies initially explored for phosphate and Mississippi Valley-type Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation in the Cambrian carbonate sequence, but more generally for Mount Isa- type Cu and/or SEDEX Pb-Zn-Ag deposits in the Proterozoic sedimentary units. Most of this work focused on the lower McNamara Group (Gunpowder to Lady Loretta Formations). The discovery of the Century deposit in 1990 and the Grevillea mineralisation (gossan recognised in 1993) refocussed exploration on the mid-upper carbonate-siliciclastic McNamara Group (Riversleigh-Lawn Hill Formations). An overview of previous tenement holdings and exploration activities is provided in Allan et al, 1999.

Detailed exploration work within the project area, prior to SMA’S involvement, is relatively sparse over the highly prospective mid-upper McNamara Group. A number of previous regional airborne geophysical surveys and stream sediment surveys cover portions of the tenement package and provide useful historical data, though their coverage is incomplete.
