  4. Bullabulling Gold Project 100% owned by Bullabulling Gold Limited Located in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields 60 km west of Kalgoorlie 3.4 million ounces of JORC compliant gold resources on granted Mining Leases Significant resource growth potential Amenable to large scale bulk tonnage mining and conventional CIL processing Well serviced by existing public infrastructure Pre-feasibility Study underway Company Presentation – June 2012

  5. Prior Mining Activity • 12,000 historic drill holes • average hole depth only 34 m • 370,000 oz produced • predominantly by Resolute in mid1990’s • average grade 1.45 g/t • closed with gold price at $350/oz • Deepest pit is only 80 m • Previous mining represents only 10% of current resource • Prior mining records have provided valuable technical data Company Presentation – June 2012

  6. Strong ResourceGrowth Delivered * Cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t • Over 110,000m of diamond and RC drilling completed since acquisition • Significant resource growth achieved • 680% increase in two years • Majority of resource elevated to Indicated category • Independent sign-off on resource by leading resource consultancy Company Presentation – June 2012

  7. Consistent ContinuousGold Mineralisation 3 km 500m Resource Model Plan View at 80m Depth Bacchus – Phoenix Area Resource Model Cross-Section at 6 566 870mN Broad zones of mineralisation Excellent continuity along strike and down dip Company Presentation – June 2012

  8. Tonnage-Grade Relationship Provides Flexibility Company Presentation – June 2012 Flexibility to schedule mining to maximise value Ability to adapt to changes in economic conditions

  9. Detailed PrefeasibilityStudy Underway Base case production rate of 7.5 million tonnes per annum Approximately 200,000 ounces per annum Initial mine life of 10 years targeted The deposit is amenable to high tonnage, bulk mining techniques Low stripping ratio 3:1 Conventional CIL process flowsheet achieves high gold recovery No heritage, ethnographic or environmental impediments identified First production scheduled for 2015 Company Presentation – June 2012

  11. Potential for Further Significant Resource Growth • 10 kilometre mineralised Bullabulling Trend not yet fully explored • Resource upgrade underway at Gibraltar • 24 new drill holes • significant intercepts outside existing resource • Resource estimate underway for Geko* • upgrade of historic resource to JORC • supported by BGL confirmation holes • Geophysics has identified potential for an east dipping limb, parallel to the current west dipping Bullabulling deposit • Near-term exploration will focus on targets that can contribute to the PFS *Bullabulling Gold has an option to acquire the Geko Project Company Presentation – June 2012

  12. Geophysics Highlights Exciting Further Potential at Bullabulling Drill X-Section Interpreted Eastern Limb Fold Unconformities “Feeder” Structures Seismic Data - Vertical Plane Across Deposit ← West – East → • Geophysics used to interpret geology beneath soil cover • Results correlate well with drilling, showing the deposit on the western limb of an anticline • 3 priority targets identified • Eastern limb of the anticline, could replicate existing deposit • Fold unconformities, structural traps for gold mineralisation • Vertical “feeder” structures with potential for high grade gold • Existing drill results support high grade potential, including: • 7 metres at 77 g/t • 5 metres at 14 g/t • 9 metres at 11.9 g/t • 9 metres at 10.5 g/t • 4 metres at 14.5 g/t Company Presentation – June 2012

  13. 3D Modelling Identifies Regional Growth Potential Company Presentation – June 2012

  14. Bullabulling Gold Overview 100% ownership of a well defined world class gold resource The size of the deposit provides attractive economies of scale Proximity to infrastructure and major population centres provides cost and logistical advantages Evaluation of development options is well advanced Strong resource growth has been delivered with potential for further significant resource expansion identified A board with the capability and experience take the project forward Bullabulling Gold Limited is singularly focussed on developing a high tonnage, low cost, long life gold mining operation Company Presentation – June 2012
