The information to which this statement is attached that relates to exploration results is based on information compiled by Martin
Lenard who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Martin Lenard is an employee of Cobar Consolidated
Resources Ltd and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration
and to the activity to which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 Edition of the “Australasian Code

BM Geological Services was engaged in October 2009 by Cobar Consolidated Resources Ltd, to prepare a mineral resource estimate
for the Wonawinta silver-zinc-lead deposit in New South Wales. A W Bewsher, Senior Geologist, prepared this report.
The mineral resource estimates in this report have been classified and reported in accordance with the JORC Code. The following
statement is made in accordance with Clause 8 of the JORC Code:

4. Our Strategy
► Enhance shareholder value by fast tracking through the value
chain
Explore Develop Produce
2008 2012
► Value engineering approach allows the significant time and cost
pressures faced by junior companies developing a project to be
effectively managed
Cobar Consolidated Resources 04
5. Our Strategy
► Production based strategy rather than a resource growth strategy
► Mine the highest value material first
► Convert resource to reserves with expansion in throughput and flow sheet
development
► Add additional resources from exploration in local area
► Explore for other targets in highly prospective exploration tenements

6. Key Project Parameters
► Bankable feasibility study completed December 2010
– 51Moz indicated and inferred resource, 14Moz probable reserve
– 4 shallow open pits
– 800,000tpa ore throughput, expanding to 1Mtpa in year 3
– 2.5Moz per annum silver production over 5 years
– Gravity circuit to produce lead concentrate
– $29.5M capex - processing plant and infrastructure
– $44M total project capital
– ~$10.50/oz cash operating cost (no Pb)
– Less than 1 year payback at current silver price (>$35/oz)
– 7 cents per ounce discovery cost to feasibility study
► The resource estimate has been revised. Reserve estimate underway.

7. Updated Resource Estimate – October 2011
Tonnes Grade Grade Cont Cont
Mt Ag g/t Pb % Moz ‘000t
Indicated 21.7 55.3 0.8 38.6 171
Inferred 11.8 48.4 0.6 18.4 68
Total 33.5 52.9 0.7 57.0 239
► Infill and grade control drilling programs in Boundary and Manuka pits
► Results applied to calculate a revised resource estimate
– Integrity of resource validated
– 65% of resource now classified as indicated
► 12g/t cut off grade applied (22g/t used previously)
– Recognizing increased silver price and carrying full project cost
► Revised resource estimate will be used for new pit designs, mine schedule
and ore reserve calculation

8. Construction Progress
► Estimated Completion overall -65%
► Engineering and Construction Cost –
– on budget, commitment $14.22M
► TimeLine – 4 to 6 weeks behind plan
– (weather delays and bank finance issue )
► Critical Path –
– CIL and Elution Areas
► Commissioning to commence
– March 2012

23. Exploration Upside
► New 0.7M oz Ag resource drilled out in
Wonawinta Mine area
► Target areas identified from 1622 line
km VTEM survey over Gundaroo and
Wonawinta tenements
► Soil anomalies better defined by infill
sampling in Wonawinta area
Cobar Consolidated Resources 023
24. Exploration Upside – Base metals
► 1,622 line km VTEM survey
Gundaroo
► Airborne geophysics to identify
conductors to 200m below surface
► Covered Jackermaroo and Dusty Tank
faults
► Significant conductors (blue) identified
in initial geophysical interpretation
► Geological assessment in progress

25. Summary
► Project advancing to commissioning in March 2012
► Modest capital , low cash costs - attractive margins, short payback period
► Highly leveraged to silver price - $1/oz = $2.5M
► Exploration upside – silver and base metals
