Selective reporting

Appendix 2 tabulates holes with nil results ('No Significant Intersection'), and the 105 Tropicana holes match the stated program count. However, the body text lists selected better intersections only. Beamish South's text says 110 holes for 15,707m were completed, but only 74 are tabulated. Section 2 for Kings Plains says results have not been comprehensively reported. Our 60-row table keeps the best intervals, so lower-grade NSW and Moolart results are not listed here.

Only best or significant intercepts are listed. No nil or low results, no hole-by-hole list, and no hole count for the reported results, against 133 holes drilled. The Orion South Western Lode has high-grade intersections with no grades given. Interval rules are stated only for Lexington and Orion South.

Only three holes are named (CCM-91, CCM-92, CCM-94), and the text says 'significant intercepts included', which signals a selection. CCM-93 appears in the numbering but is not mentioned, and there is no statement on whether it had a significant result. Holes drilled, nil results, cut-off and internal dilution are not given.

The text quotes 6 Lexington, 3 Hornet and 4 Orion South highlights. The tables list only holes with significant intercepts, with no nil holes and no hole depths. The release does not say which holes are new, so the 88 holes drilled this quarter (plus 45 at Orion South) cannot be matched to the roughly 170 holes in the tables. Low-grade and nil results are not summarised.

The tables list 65 holes, including two holes with no significant intercept (DUG26056 and DUG26065), and include lower-grade intervals, which helps. However, the number of holes drilled in the batch is not stated, and grade-control drilling of about 18,000m at Galaxy and about 19,000m at Dalgaranga is not reported hole by hole. The text highlights the best intervals, so the typical result across the program cannot be judged.

Northparkes tables list nil holes for E26, E51 and Major Tom, but the 31 Monzonite Stock Contact holes without significant assays are not listed; the company says this is in line with the broad nature of discovery drilling. Northparkes primary intervals use a 0.3% Cu cut-off with bulking of up to 20m, and the minimum intercept length was cut from 20m in earlier releases to 10m, which allows longer and more numerous intervals. Cowal gives four holes with no nil results and no total hole count, while saying all available discovery results are reported. Ernest Henry is a single hole. This list is capped at 60 rows, so 11 short Northparkes intervals of 10-16m at about 0.3% Cu are not listed.

Only one headline interval is shown, with no count of holes drilled or reported and no low or nil results. It cannot be told whether this represents the wider program. The full release may cover this, but it is not in this document.

No holes drilled or reported counts, no nil or low results, and no cut-off grade are given. The Garden Well figure highlights intersections outside the existing mine. Reporting is therefore selective.

Main-text highlights are the best intervals. The appendix tables carry many lower-grade and wide intervals, which helps balance. The announcement does not state how many holes were reported against the 297 holes drilled across programmes, and does not list nil results. Holes with prior reporting are not flagged.

Results are given as highlights only. For Yaoure proximal, 35 holes were drilled and 3 highlighted; for Waste Dump Extension, 56 holes and 5 highlighted; for Papara, 18 holes and 4 highlighted; for Ifugandi, 15 holes assayed and 4 highlighted. Nil and low results are not listed, and holes drilled are not reported for every program. The release notes weak to moderate grades at Yaoure proximal, but does not list the weaker holes.

10 of 11 holes reported - the rest are not reported or explained. The announcement says seven Saturn holes were drilled but the table shows six. Nil results appear for two Penny West holes (RPWDD058, RPWDD060) but no Saturn holes are shown as nil. Figure 6 labels intervals not in Appendix 2 and shows holes with assays pending, which are not counted. Long intervals of 19.3m, 22m and 26.1m are reported with dilution rules that are described differently in two places.
