Name of the Project
King of the Hills (KOTH) gold project.

Location
Western Australia.

Project Owner/s
Red 5.

Project Description
The KOTH deposit has a maiden openpit probable ore reserve of 36-million tonnes grading 1.25 g/t gold for 1.45-million ounces of contained gold, while the Rainbow deposit has a maiden openpit ore reserve of 1.4-million tonnes grading 1 g/t gold for 44 000 oz gold.

A prefeasibility study (PFS) on the project has outlined the potential for a ten-year openpit operation, delivering average life-of-mine production of 140 000 oz/y, with substantial upside potential from the future inclusion of 1.1-millon ounces of underground resources, regional oxide deposits and ongoing exploration.

The project will include the construction of a four-million-tonne-a-year carbon-in-leach processing plant on site, which provides sufficient processing capacity for an integrated bulk openpit and underground mining operation.
