   Former Copper-Cobalt Joint Venture,     The Company's 100% owned subsidiary 
   DRC                                     obtained in 2022 an executory judgment 
                                           for $2.5m (being 50.1% of $5m paid 
                                           to local partner VUP by a buyer).

   New Ballarat Gold Corporation Plc       15 principal granted licences targeting 
                                           gold and 1 purchased licence, together 
   Gold: Victoria, Australia               totalling 2,517 sq km, are held 
                                           around the historic mining centre 
   50.1% interest                          of Ballarat. 
 
                                           A further copper-prospective licence 
                                           of 500 sq km is now also held in 
                                           South Australia. 
 
                                           In 2022 NBGC obtained grant of 
                                           the historic Ajax Mine with recorded 
                                           production of 312,789 oz at 14.8 
                                           g/t, and purchased the historic 
                                           Berringa Mines, with recorded production 
                                           of just under 300,000 oz at 8.3 
                                           g/t. 
 
                                           The acquisition of these two significant 
                                           assets, among the largest producing 
                                           hard rock mines in the history 
                                           of the Victoria gold fields, and 
                                           with significant associated exploration 
                                           targets, is an important milestone 
                                           for NBGC. 
 
                                           Three drill programmes have been 
                                           carried out over target areas, 
                                           and the results at the old Berringa 
                                           Mine were particularly promising. 
 
                                           We consider that our JV in the 
                                           Victoria Goldfields is adding value 
                                           with each stage of exploration 
                                           work, and as the drilling confirms 
                                           the initial model.
