Market cap A$16.2 m Air core results confirm two gold trends under Lake Lefroy Recent site visit confirms prospectivity of other LEX targets - Gold Fields has released its first tranche of drill results from air core drilling on the LEX-JV, east of the world class St Ives gold project. - Results confirm the existence of two gold-anomalous trends beneath Lake Lefroy. - The immediate target is a 3km zone along the inferred Woolibar Fault centred on the Zanex prospect. - The Eastern Shoreline Trend has identified a +3km zone of gold anomalism. - Both trends are worthy of follow-up with RC or diamond drilling, likely to happen in 2H19 - LEX will continue to focus on Lucky Strike and other 100%-owned projects to the east of Lake Lefroy. A 2000m RC/diamond programme is currently underway. - LEX is a very inexpensive WA exploration play strongly leveraged to GFI’s aggressive exploration programme on Lake Lefroy, and to exploration within its 100%-owned tenements in the Mt Monger area. Expect plenty of exploration news over the rest of the year. Warm colours (red/purple) signify higher gold grades.

  • Granny Smith Gold Mine Stuart Mathews 16 July 2014
    Gold Fields Australia site visit: Granny Smith Gold Mine Stuart Mathews 16 July 2014 There are a few of my senior leadership at site at the back of the room. Perhaps, if you could stand up one by one and just say who you are, that would be great: Reg (Andrew Radford). I am the Metallurgy Superintendent and I will be helping you with the presentation & site tour today John, Benato, Projects manager on site. Grant Neill, Coordinator for Security and Emergency Response. Kim Stranger. I am the Superintendent for Commercial and Admin. Lisa Last. I’m the Senior Environmental Advisor. Geoff Hart, Mobile Maintenance Superintendent. Gary Sparks, Mineral Resources Manager. Johanna Cowell, Underground Manager. Thank you. If you have a few questions for these people, it’s no problem, and you’re most welcome to talk to them. A couple of our key people will also be contributing to the presentation. From our Darlot mine down to Granny Smith is approximately a two and a half hour drive, and also not that far from the Agnew/Lawlers mine. We are also approximately 400km north east of Kalgoorlie and we have St Ives a little bit further from there. We are located in the Eastern Goldfields Province of Archaean Aged Yilgarn Craton, and we are 400km’s from Kalgoorlie as already stated, and 950km’s north-east by road from Perth. As the “crow flies” it takes us about an hour and half, to an hour and three quarters, to get to site by commercial plane. 2 Gold Fields Australia site visit: Granny Smith Gold Mine Stuart Mathews 16 July 2014 The Granny Smith mill and mine camp are 23km’s south of Laverton and the Wallaby underground is 15km further south west of the Granny Smith processing plant.
