Event
Global Metals Exploration have had a major boost at the Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt
Project (“JRGB”) with the first phase of RAB drilling returning up to 4 metres @ 3.5 g/t gold
from 32 metres downhole. Six other RAB holes returned significant results. This program
was designed to follow up auger anomalies that were defined from a regional Bulk Leach
Extractable Gold (BLEG) survey. The JRGB Project is situated approximately 125
kilometres north-east of Laverton within the north-eastern region of the Yilgarn Craton and
covers over 67 kilometres of strike and 675 km2.
As stated out in our last report (RM Research, 2/4/2012), we consider the JRGB to be
one of the last greenstone belts in the Yilgarn Province (Western Australia) that is yet to
be subject to comprehensive modern exploration.
These results were returned from two lines spaced 1.1 kilometres apart across a strike width of 138 metres in the southern line and 19 metres in the northern line. The anomaly remains open in all directions and the intervening 1.1 kilometres remains to be tested.
The majority of the mineralised intercepts are likely to be situated within the supergene zone (between fresh and weathered rock). The location of these anomalies, that are coincident with sheared mafic lithologies, quartz veining and magnetic highs are likely to be indicative of a primary source however the grade and tenor of primary mineralisation is yet to be determined.
Other anomalous metals including Ni, Cu and Zn including one RAB intersection of 36 metres @ 0.2% probably indicative an ultramafic host.
Impact
These impressive results give further weight to our previous interpretation that there is a
high probability of the JRGB containing potentially economic deposits of gold.
Significantly, the majority of other greenstone belts so far identified in the Yilgarn are
known to host significant gold deposits. These include Southern Cross (10Moz), Kalgoorlie
(120Moz), Leonora (12Moz) and Laverton (25Moz). Furthermore, Gold Road Resources
(ASX: GOR) recently commenced a feasibility study on its Central Bore Project (152,323
oz gold) on the adjacent Yamarna Greenstone Belt. JORC Resources now total in excess
of 1Moz (Attila and Central Bore Projects).
Again, we are reminded that the Yarmana Greenstone belt is, in GOR’s words, potentially
the “5th gold rich shear zone in the world-class Yilgarn Craton” of Western Australia (Gold
Road Resources Limited, 2011 AGM Presentation).
With the geochemical anomalies remaining open and preliminary RAB drilling returning
impressive results, we anticipate a sharp increase in exploration activity at the JRGB.
Action and Recommendation
With recent declining markets for “risky assets” and a market capitalisation of just A$3.0
million, RM Research believes there is a window to accumulate GXN prior to the release
of the next round of results.
The Company provides tremendous leverage in an underexplored greenstone belt.
We maintain a Speculative Buy recommendation.

EXPLORATION OVERVIEW
Jutson Rocks Greenstone Belt Project
Location and Access
The Jutson Rocks Greenstone belt is situated approximately 125 kilometres north-east of
Laverton within the north-eastern region of the Yilgarn Craton.
The project can be accessed via bitumen road to Laverton, followed by approximately 130
kilometres of good quality gravel roads to the Cosmo Newberry aboriginal community.
Previous airbourne magnetic surveys and geological mapping have been successful in tracing
the JRGB for approximately 60 kilometres over an average width of around nine kilometres.
Geology and Mineralisation
The Greenstone belt,
comprising greenschist-
amphibolite facies intrusive
ultramafics, mafics, felsics
and meta-sediments,
strikes broadly NNW.
In this typical Archaean
setting, the belt is bounded
by granitoids which are in
turn posted dated by
several phases of
deformation, known to
coincide elsewhere in the
Yilgarn with metalliferous
mineralisation.
Ultramafic lithologies (the
most common host of
nickel sulphide
mineralisation) appear
more dominant in the east
with a great proportion of
felsic lithologies and
banded iron formations
(BIF) in the west.
Additionally, there exist
mafic sequences
throughout the project area
which hold good potential
for platinum and palladium.
The most notable feature
is a series of interpreted shears and splays that occupy the central portion of the greenstone
belt (Figure 3) on which a number of gold anomalies are located.

Jutson Rocks Prospect (GXN 70%)
The Company has earnt 70% of E38/1540 and E38/1541 from Cazaly Resources Ltd (ASX:
CAZ). Jutson Rocks covers approximately 320 km2 and comprises ultramafic, mafic and felsic
rocks in addition to pyroclastics and sediments.
The northern and eastern part of the project comprises mafic intrusives (gabbro, pyroxenitic
and dolerites) with the western side containing mafics, felsic volcanics and banded iron
formations. A metamorphosed and deformed komatiite sequence has also been identified in
the eastern part of the tenement and is interpreted to be up to four kilometres thick - a target
for nickel sulphide mineralisation. The mafics are also potential targets for platinum and
palladium.

The recently completed -60o RAB drilling program consisted of 86 drill holes (2,181 metres),
drilled to blade refusal. The holes were drilled on two lines approximately 1.1 kilometres apart.
The RAB program was designed to follow up an auger sampling programme, which in turn
was designed to follow up encouraging results from a regional BLEG sampling survey. This
RAB program tested a 500 metre x 500 metre BLEG anomaly which was subsequently
followed up by a 50 metre x 125 metre auger program (Figures 2 & 3). Table 1 and Figures 3,
4 and 5 summarise better results >0.1 ppm Au for this first round of RAB drilling.
Holes 50 and 51 intersected fine grained mafics while holes 72 – 76 and 78 intersected
sheared volcaniclastic. The majority of significant gold intercepts are interpreted to occur at
the supergene fresh rock/weathered rock interface.
Our stylised interpretation of gold mineralisation within a typical laterite profile in the Yilgarn
Craton is shown in Figure 2. RM Research believes that JRAB 073, for example, may have
intersected gold within the supergene zone that in turn may have been sourced from primary
mineralisation within sheared mafic lithologies deeper in the profile.
Further drilling will be required to see if there is any primary root to these supergene results.

Future Exploration
The Company is likely to follow up with a 3-4,000 metres RAB program to test extensions to
the anomalous zones along strike to the north and south (Figure 5). Results are anticipated in
June/July 2012.
Results from an additional 35 square kilometres of BLEG samples are also due shortly. This
recent program further extended geochemical coverage to the south (Figure 3, 5).
CORPORATE
The Company raised A$250K in mid April 2012 to Sophisticated Investors via the issue of 25
million fully paid ordinary shares (“Shares”) at an issue price of A$0.01 each, (together with
one for one free attaching options to acquire Shares at 2 cents each on or before 1 May 2015)
to raise A$250,000 (before expenses of the placement). We also note that director Andrew
Mortimer has accumulated a further 2.0 million Shares (Global Metals Exploration, ASX
Announcement, 12/4/2012)
CONCLUSION
These RAB results represent an encouraging start to the exploration program at the JRGB.
While the Company has some impressive results in the supergene zone, we will need to see
the results of deeper drilling to establish whether there are any substantial “roots” to this
mineralisation deeper in the profile. It is too early to establish whether there is any significant
oxide potential or primary mineralisation of economic interest however RM Research remains
cautiously optimistic given that the soil geochemical anomalies remain open to the north and
south.
We are expecting that the next round of BLEG results should extend existing anomalies and
provide additional RAB targets in the near term. Speculative Buy.

RM Research Recommendation Categories
Care has been taken to define the level of risk to return associated with a particular company. Our recommendation ranking system is as follows:
Buy Companies with „Buy‟ recommendations have been cash flow positive for some time and have a moderate to low risk profile. We expect these to outperform the broader market.
Speculative Buy We forecast strong earnings growth or value creation that may achieve a return well above that of the broader market. These companies also carry a higher than normal level of risk.
Hold A sound well managed company that may achieve market performance or less, perhaps due to an overvalued share price, broader sector issues, or internal challenges.
Sell Risk is high and upside low or very difficult to determine. We expect a strong underperformance relative to the market and see better opportunities elsewhere.
