Water monitoring is conducted to identify and assess potential impacts to surface or groundwater near our exploration activities. We undertake water sampling at designated monitoring locations, including dams, creeks, groundwater bores and drains near where we are exploring and these are conducted at regular occurrences or after rainfall events.

We are required to report any elevated dust, noise or groundwater monitoring results to the EPA & ERR and must address the causes of any environmental impacts. To date, we have not had any reportable environmental events.

We submit an Annual Report to ERR which includes:

• A report about the environmental management of exploration activities including the results of any environmental audits conducted
• Quantity, area and type of native vegetation removed
• Details of current progressive rehabilitation activities
• A rehabilitation report detailing completed rehabilitation activities over the year.
