Material Events & Transactions

On 15 August 2013, the Company announced the appointment with immediate effect
of Winterflood Securities Limited as joint corporate broker alongside
J.P.Morgan Cazenove Limited.

On 8 October 2013, the Company announced that it had reached a non-binding
agreement on key commercial terms with regard to a US$12m net smelter return
royalty investment (the "Royalty") with Avanco Resources Limited in respect of
its whole licensed area in Carajas, Brazil comprising Antas North deposit
("Antas North" or "Stage 1"), Pedra Branca deposit ("Pedra Branca" or "Stage
2"), and other discoveries within Avanco's current licensed portfolio. The
Royalty would offer the Company a 25% royalty payment on gold production and 2%
on production of other metals including copper produced from the whole licensed
area of Stage 1 and Stage 2. A flat 2% royalty will be applied to all other
projects from the rest of Avanco's licensed area.

The Company and Avanco Resources Limited will shortly begin to work on the
heads of terms for the Royalty investment, followed by negotiation and signing
of the definitive legal documentation which is expected to complete by the year
end.
