Project Background

The Brightstar Gold Project covers an area in excess of c.300 square kilometres and includes the Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Ben Hur, King of Creation and Cork Tree Well gold deposits. The joint venture includes the 350ktpa Brightstar gold treatment plant (currently under care & maintenance) along with all associated infrastructure such as power gen-sets, laboratory, camp accommodation and assorted mining equipment. All deposits are easily accessible via graded road and close proximity to major sealed roads and all-weather airstrips.

Regional Geology and Project Resources

• The Brightstar Gold Project area covers non-contiguous deposits running over a strike length of more than 110 kilometres within the Laverton Tectonic Zone / Duketon Greenstone Belt. It is a major district of gold endowment hosting nearby world class gold deposits such as Sunrise Dam (AngloGold Ashanti), the Granny Smith (Goldfields) and Wallaby (Goldfields) gold projects. Total endowment of the Laverton belt is in excess of 27 Moz of gold.

  
  

• Since 2011, SHK has completed approximately 40,000m of RC drilling over the main deposits of Alpha, Beta and Ben Hur. Subsequent to this drilling campaign, SHK has published information in relation to JORC (2012) Mineral Resources as reported in an announcement titled "Mineral Resource Review of Brightstar Project WA" as announced to the ASX on 5 June 2014 (http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20140605/pdf/42q1s33lrh39wy.pdf) and updated in the SHK 2015 annual report as announced to the ASX on 30 October 2015 (http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20151030/pdf/432l8cwt3xhkx4.pdf) of which a summary is presented in the below Table 1.
