7 Mission Statement Focus on Value Creation - Identify and acquire 100% owned tenements in infrastructure rich mineral provinces. Lowers CAPEX and/or OPEX hurdles. - De-risk or monetise assets through JV, production sharing arrangements or sale. - Project returns/gains to be balanced between re-investment, returns to shareholders and building balance sheet strength. Maximise Our Discovery Potential - Focus on economic grade and tonnes in targeted mineral systems - Use technical skills & low-cost methods to systematically explore areas - Maintain high success rate on greenfield discoveries - Look to deliver >80c in the dollar going into the ground 6
