Appendix 1: SRIG Confirmatory Drilling

Part of the formal due diligence being undertaken by SRIG included the drilling of two diamond drillholes at Little Eva and metallurgical testwork to validate the resource model and prior metallurgical recovery estimate. Metallurgical testwork is currently underway and drilling and assaying is complete.

The two holes drilled by SRIG were twins of two pre-existing Altona drillholes (one Diamond and one RC). The holes tested mineralisation in the core of the deposit and the lower grade margin of the deposit. Results from the new holes compare well with prior holes given the variation within the deposit (Table 1) and provide further confidence in and confirmation of prior drilling.

The distances between the SRIG holes and the twinned Altona holes varies from approximately 2 metres at the collar to 20 metres down hole.

Criteria Commentary
Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data
Sampling · Sampling was via diamond (DD) drill core.
techniques SRIG confirmation drilling core size was HQ.
Core was measured and annotated for sampling
by geologists contracted by SRIG (Mining One
Pty Ltd) and independently validated by Altona
staff on site. Core was cut and analysed at
ALS laboratories in Townsville. Half core was
submitted for analysis; assay coarse reject
and quarter core was sent for metallurgical

testwork and remaining core retained and will
be returned to Altonas storage for
reference.

Drilling · Diamond drilling; all holes HQ core. SRIG
techniques confirmation drilling was triple
tubed.

· Holes twinned were diamond and RC; results
reported
previously.

Drill · Recovery was visually estimated and recorded.
sample Core recoveries are considered to be excellent
recovery averaging well over 90%, generally 100%.
Occasionally lower recoveries were recorded
within the upper weathered zones.


· No significant changes in core recovery
through the mineralised zones was recorded
hence

no subsequent bias to the grade.
Logging · Logging of the SRIG holes was completed by
independent contractor geologists for SRIG
(and subsequently validated by Altona staff)
using industry standard logging procedures
consistent Altona standard
procedures.

· Logging is qualitative and quantitative
including, colour, lithology, mineralisation,
alteration, sulphide and oxide mineralogy,
sulphide and oxide amount, texture, grain size
and
structure.

· All holes were logged in full.
Sub-samplin· All samples were sent to ALS Laboratories in
g Townsville for cutting sample preparation and
techniques analysis. ALS is an independent commercial
and certified laboratory that uses industry
sample standard sample preparation including drying,
preparatio crushing and
n pulverisation.

· Half core was cut and submitted for analysis.
· Sample size is considered representative for
typical copper mineralisation at

Roseby area.

laboratory
tests · Samples were analysed using an Aqua Regia dige
st

(method code: GEO-AR01) followed by ICPAES and
ICP-MS
analysis for 41 elements (method code: ME-MS41)
. This included copper, with a detection limit
of 0.2 ppm. Data reported from Aqua

Regia digestion should be considered as
representing only the leachable portion of a
particular

analyte.
· On return of copper values >1% a second
series of analyses were undertaken. This
involved an ore grade Aqua

Regia digestion (method code: ASY-AR01)
followed by ICPAES analysis, optimised for
accuracy and precision at high concentrations
(method code:
ME-OG46).

· Gold was analysed via a fire assay (30g) with
an AAS finish, with a lower detection limit of
0.01 ppm and upper detection limit of 100
ppm.

· Quality Control by SRIG included: standards
(certified reference materials, according to
Altonas normal procedures, inserted into the
sampling sequence at 1:20 ratio and included
representative material for copper, gold and
blanks; and field duplicates taken using a for
every
20
th sample. Laboratory checks were also carried
out on sample pulps. The standards were
inserted into each sample batch to test the
accuracy of the laboratory analysis.


· As yet Altona has not received the data for
independent
review.

· No samples were analysed by an umpire
laboratory.

· No geophysical tools were used to determine
the results reported
here.

Verificatio· Results were checked by several Altona

and · The SRIGs holes were twins of Altona
assaying resource definition
holes.

· All field logging data was done on hardcopy
with database entry by the SRIG contract
geologist. The SRIG

hole data was provide by SRIG to Altona for

Datashed database and validated by company

personnel.

· Drillhole assays were received in digital
format
from SRIG. Data was uploaded into the Altona Da
tashed

data inserts took
place.

· No adjustments have been applied to the
results.

Location · Collar locations have been surveyed using the
of data companies own DGPS with approximately 0.1
points metre
accuracy.

· Down hole surveys were completed at the end
of each hole within drill rods by Altona
personnel using non-magnetic Gyro tool for
azimuth and
dip.

· The Grid is GDA94 MGA Zone 54.
· Elevation accuracy of DGPS survey is
considered to be less than 0.5m and has been
verified against detailed ground survey
previously completed in the
area.

Data · Holes were largely drilled for confirmation/
spacing due diligence purposes; one hole was drilled
and in the higher tenor Central Zone and one hole
distributi was drilled on the lower tenor margin of the
on Southern
Zone.

· Drillholes being reported are from deposits
with published resource estimate. Drill
results are consistent with the existing
drilling and resource estimate
models.

Orientation· The strike of mineralisation is either

in westerly dips, with the exception of Northern

to
geological
structure · No bias is considered to result from drilling
direction.

· The holes at Little Eva were drilled on the
same grid orientation as the
de
posit resource definition drillholes and were
designed to intersect the mineralised zones at
an optimal angle.


Sample · Core samples were collected and stored in
security core trays in Altona facilities in

Cloncury prior to the transport to Townsville.
Packing and sampling was coordinated and
supervised by SIGs
contractors.

· Following cutting by ALS, samples for
analysis were collected into pre-numbered
calico bags. Unique sample numbers were
retained during the whole process.


Audits or · No external audits or review have been
reviews undertaken.

Pasminco, Universal Resources/Altona Mining
and Xstrata.


Geology · The Little Eva deposit - breccia,
disseminated and shear hosted copper-gold
mineralisation styles typical of the IOCG
deposits in the region e.g. Ernest Henry. The
deposits are considered to be hydrothermal and
structurally controlled, with the different
styles reflecting host rocks (competency,
chemistry and permeability).

mineralisation is sulphide (chalcopyrite) with
a shallow (10-25m thick) weathered/oxidised
cap.
