This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions.

1. RESOLUTION 1 – SELECTIVE SHARE BUY-BACK

1.1 Background

On 22 October 2015, the Company announced its agreement with Atlas Iron Limited (Atlas) (ASX:AGO) to terminate Atlas’ obligation to make a $1.13/tonne royalty payment to the Company on the first 30M tonnes produced from Atlas’ Corunna Downs Iron Project (Deed of Variation).

Following completion of Atlas’ obligations under the Deed of Variation, the Company’s remaining royalty interests in Corunna Downs and an adjacent tenement known as Panorama (Remaining Royalty Interests) will be as follows:

(a) Corunna Downs iron ore: $1.13 per tonne beyond the first 30M of production;

(b) Corunna Downs other minerals: 1.5% of gross proceeds of sale; and

(c) Panorama iron ore & other minerals: 1% of gross proceeds of sale.

On 14 November 2016 the Company announced its agreement with Ochre Industries Pty Limited (Ochre), a wholly owned subsidiary of Ochre Group Holdings Limited (OGH) (ASX:OGH) to sell the Remaining Royalty Interests to Ochre (Agreement).

The consideration payable to the Company by Ochre under the Agreement for the sale of the Remaining Royalty Interests comprises:

(a) the buy back and cancellation of all Shares held by the Buy-Back Shareholders (being OGH (5,766,016 Shares) and its associated company, Joffrey Pty Limited (850,000 Shares)) (Buy-Back Shares) (Buy-Back); and

(b) a cash deposit of $100,000 (Deposit).

The Agreement remains conditional on Shareholder approval pursuant to the requirements for a selective share buy-back under Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act of the Buy-Back Shares.

Ochre has also requested and the Company has agreed that, if for any reason the royalty rights on the first 30Mt of iron ore from Corunna Downs (the subject of the Deed of Variation) should revert to the Company’s ownership (Reverted Rights), Ochre will have a first right of refusal in respect of the Reverted Rights in the event that the Company decides to dispose of them.

Resolution 1 seeks Shareholder approval to enable the Company to buy-back and cancel the Buy-Back Shares.

1.2 Section 257D of the Corporations Act

The Corporations Act provides that the rules relating to share buy-backs are designed to protect the interests of shareholders and creditors by:

(a) addressing the risk of the transaction leading to the company’s solvency;

(b) seeking to ensure fairness between the shareholders of the company; and

(c) requiring the company to disclose all material information.

In particular, Section 257A of the Corporations Act provides that a company may buy back its own shares if:

1607164_8.docx 3

(a) the buy-back does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pay its creditors; and

(b) the company follows the procedures laid down in Division 2 of Part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

The procedures required differ for each type of buy-back. The Buy-Back is classified as a selective buy-back.

Pursuant to Section 257D(1) of the Corporations Act, a selective share buy-back must be approved by either:

(a) a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the Company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by any person whose shares are to be bought back or by their associates; or

(b) a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting by all ordinary shareholders.

Pursuant to Section 257D(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must include with the Notice a statement setting out all information known to the Company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the Resolution. However, the Company does not have to disclose information if it would be unreasonable to require the Company to do so because the Company had previously disclosed the information to Shareholders.

Section 257H(3) of the Corporations Act provides that immediately after the registration of the transfer to a company of shares bought back, the shares are cancelled.

1.3 Details of the Buy-Back

ASIC Regulatory Guide 110 sets out what ASIC expects a company to provide when disclosing such information to shareholders with a notice of meeting. This information is set out below:

(a) The Company has 29,626,667 Shares on issue at the date of this Notice;

(b) The number and percentage of Shares to be bought back are 6,616,606 Shares representing approximately 22.3% of the Shares on issue at the date of this Notice;

(c) The terms of the Buy-Back are set out in the Agreement which is summarised in Section 1.1;

(d) There is no offer price for the Buy-Back as the consideration is in a non-cash form (being the disposal of the Remaining Royalty Interests). A valuation of the Remaining Royalty Interests is set out in the Independent Expert’s Report;

(e) The reason for the Buy-Back is the Board considers it is beneficial to the Company as the Company will have a greater investment appeal to Shareholders and potential shareholders who will generally recognise the advantages of a smaller issued capital;

(f) No Directors will participate in the Buy-Back;

(g) The financial effect of the Buy-Back on the Company is to increase cash reserves by $100,000. There is no effect on the level of franking credits expended as the Company does not have any franking credits;

(h) The Directors believe the advantages and disadvantages of the Buy-Back are:

(i) (Advantages):

(A) the percentage ownership of Shareholders not subject to the Buy-Back will increase;

(B) the removal of a significant shareholder removes a barrier to a control transaction; and

1607164_8.docx 4

(C) the Company’s cash reserves will not be reduced by the Buy-Back as the consideration is in a non-cash form, thus preserving cash for the potential development of the Parker Range Gold Project or other purposes;

(D) the value of each remaining Share will increase by virtue of the Company’s net asset value being divided by a lesser number of Shares; and

(E) the potential dividends payable in the future to remaining Shareholders will increase per Shareholder.

(ii) (Disadvantages):

(A) The Company will no longer retain the potential benefit of the Remaining Royalty Interests;

(i) The Buy-Back is not expected to have an effect on the control of the Company. As at 23 August 2017, those Shareholders holding more than 5% in the Company and their increased interest in the Company as a result of the Buy-Back are as set out in the table below:

Substantial holder Shares % (pre Buy-

Back)

% (post Buy-

Back)

BC Capital Limited 3,525,860 11.90 15.32

Duncan Merrin 3,486,016 11.77 15.15

Bellatrix Pty Ltd 3,189,483 10.77 13.86

Dimitrios Hilaris 2,057,056 6.94 8.94

(j) The Buy-Back Shares are held by OGH (5,766,016) and its associated company, Joffrey Pty Limited (850,000);

(k) The Shares were suspended from trading on ASX on 15 September 2014 and the Company was delisted from ASX on 18 September 2017. The last recorded sale price was $0.10 on 12 September 2014; and

(l) The net effect on the Company of the disposal of the Remaining Royalty Interests is beneficial as the Board considers, despite the Company no longer retaining the potential benefit of the Remaining Royalty Interests, the Company will have a greater investment appeal to Shareholders and potential shareholders who will generally recognise the advantages of a smaller issued capital.

1.4 Independent Expert’s Report

The Independent Expert's Report annexed to this Notice sets out a detailed independent examination of the Buy-Back to enable non-associated Shareholders to assess the merits and decide whether to approve Resolution 1. The independent expert has concluded that the Buy-Back is fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders.

Shareholders are urged to carefully read the Independent Expert’s Report to understand its scope, the methodology of the valuation and the sources of information and assumptions made.

The Independent Expert’s Report is also available on the Company’s website (http://www.gondwanaresources.com.au/). If requested by a Shareholder, the Company will send to the Shareholder a hard copy of the Independent Expert’s Report at no cost.

1607164_8.docx 5

1.5 Director’s recommendation

Based on the information available, including that contained in this Explanatory Statement and the Independent Expert’s Report, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 as they consider the proposed Buy-Back to be in the best interests of Shareholders for the following reasons:

(a) after assessment of the advantages and disadvantages referred to in Sections 1.3(h) the Directors are of the view that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages; and

(b) the Independent Expert has determined the Buy-Back to be fair and reasonable to the non-associated Shareholders.

The Directors confirm that they intend to vote in favour of Resolution 1 in relation to all votes that they control.

1.6 Other material information

Any fractions of votes resulting from the application of these principles will be disregarded. A duly appointed proxy need not be a Shareholder.

The direction may specify the proportion or number of votes that the proxy may exercise by writing the percentage or number of Shares next to the box marked for the relevant item of business.

Regulatory Guide 110 ‘Share buy-backs’ (‘RG 110’), Regulatory Guide 111 ‘Content of Expert’s Reports’

(‘RG 111’) and Regulatory Guide 112 ‘Independence of Experts’ (‘RG 112’).

In arriving at our opinion, we have assessed the terms of the Transaction as outlined in the body of this

report. We have considered:

How the value of a Gondwana share prior to the Transaction on a controlling basis compares to the

value of a Gondwana share following the Transaction on a controlling basis;

Other factors which we consider to be relevant to the Shareholders in their assessment of the

Transaction; and

The position of Shareholders should the Transaction not proceed.

2.3 Opinion

We have considered the terms of the Transaction as outlined in the body of this report and have

concluded that, in the absence of an alternate offer, the Transaction is fair and reasonable to

Shareholders.

2.4 Fairness

In section 12 we determined how the value of a Gondwana share prior to the Transaction compares to the

value of a Gondwana share following the Transaction, as detailed below.

The above pricing indicates that, in the absence of any other relevant information, and an alternate offer,

the Transaction is fair for Shareholders.

2.5 Reasonableness

We have considered the analysis in section 13 of this report, in terms of both

advantages and disadvantages of the Transaction; and

other considerations, including the position of Shareholders if the Transaction does not proceed

and the consequences of not approving the Transaction.

In our opinion, the position of Shareholders if the Transaction is approved is more advantageous than the

position if the Transaction is not approved. Accordingly, in the absence of any other relevant information

and/or an alternate proposal we believe that the Transaction is reasonable for Shareholders.

The respective advantages and disadvantages considered are summarised below:

3. Scope of the Report

3.1 Purpose of the Report

The rules relating to share buy-backs under the Corporations Act are designed to protect the interests of

shareholders and creditors. Pursuant to section 257A of the Corporations Act, a company may buy-back its

own shares as long as it does not materially prejudice the company’s ability to pays its creditors, while

adhering to the procedures set out in Division 2 of part 2J.1 of the Corporations Act.

RG 110 states that if a company proposes to buy back a significant percentage of shares or the holdings of

a major shareholder it should consider providing either:

a report by its independent directors about whether shareholders should vote in favour of the buy-

back, particularly regarding how much the company is paying for the shares; and

an independent expert’s report with a valuation of the shares.

There is no requirement under Australia Stock Exchange (‘ASX’) Listing Rules or Corporations Act for

Gondwana to engage an independent expert in relation to the selective share buy-back and cancellation of

the 6,616,016 shares held by Ochre and its associated company Joffrey, being 22.33% of Gondwana’s

issued capital as at the date of our Report.

Notwithstanding the above, Gondwana engaged BDO to prepare this report for provision to Shareholders to

assist them in deciding whether to accept the Transaction.

3.2 Regulatory guidance

Neither the Listing Rules nor the Corporations Act defines the meaning of ‘fair and reasonable’. In

determining whether the Transaction is fair and reasonable, we have had regard to the views expressed by

ASIC in RG 111. This regulatory guide provides guidance as to what matters an independent expert should

consider to assist security holders to make informed decisions about transactions.

This regulatory guide suggests that, where an expert assesses whether a related party transaction is ‘fair

and reasonable’, this should not be applied as a composite test—that is, there should be a separate

assessment of whether the transaction is ‘fair’ and ‘reasonable’, as in a control transaction. An expert

should not assess whether the transaction is ‘fair and reasonable’ based simply on a consideration of the

advantages and disadvantages of the proposal.

We do not consider the Transaction to be a control transaction. As such, we have used RG 111 as a guide

for our analysis but have considered the Transaction as if it were not a control transaction.

3.3 Adopted basis of evaluation

RG 111 states that a transaction is fair if the value of the offer price or consideration is equal to or

greater than the value of the securities subject of the offer. In the case of Gondwana the Remaining

Royalty Interest is the subject of the transaction. This comparison should be made assuming a

knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious, buyer and a knowledgeable and willing, but not anxious,

seller acting at arm’s length. RG 111 states that when considering the value of the securities subject of

the offer in a control transaction the expert should consider this value inclusive of a control premium.

However, as stated in Section 3.2 we do not consider that the Transaction is a control transaction. As

such, we have not included a premium for control when considering the value of Gondwana’s shares.

5

Further to this, RG 111 states that a transaction is reasonable if it is fair. It might also be reasonable if

despite being ‘not fair’ the expert believes that there are sufficient reasons for security holders to accept

the offer in the absence of any alternate options.

Having regard to the above, BDO has completed this comparison in two parts:

A comparison between the value of a Gondwana share prior to the Transaction and the value of a

Gondwana share following the Transaction (fairness – see Section 12 ‘Is the Transaction Fair?’); and

An investigation into other significant factors to which Shareholders might give consideration, prior to

approving the resolution, after reference to the value derived above (reasonableness – see Section 13

‘Is the Transaction Reasonable?’).

This assignment is a Valuation Engagement as defined by Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards

Board professional standard APES 225 ‘Valuation Services’ (‘APES 225’).

A Valuation Engagement is defined by APES 225 as follows:

‘an Engagement or Assignment to perform a Valuation and provide a Valuation Report where the Valuer

is free to employ the Valuation Approaches, Valuation Methods, and Valuation Procedures that a

reasonable and informed third party would perform taking into consideration all the specific facts and

circumstances of the Engagement or Assignment available to the Valuer at that time.’

This Valuation Engagement has been undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in APES 225.

4. Outline of the Transaction

On 22 October 2015, Gondwana announced its agreement with Atlas to terminate Atlas’ obligation to

make a $1.13/tonne royalty payment to Gondwana on the first 30 million tonnes produced from Corunna

Downs, expressed in the Deed of Variation. Following completion of Atlas’ obligations under the Deed of

Variation, Gondwana’s Remaining Royalty Interest in Corunna Downs and Panorama comprises:

Corunna Downs iron ore: $1.13 on tonnes beyond the first 30 Mt of production;

Corunna Downs other minerals: 1.50% of gross proceeds of sale; and

Panorama iron ore and other minerals: 1.00% of gross proceeds of sale.

On 14 November 2016, Gondwana announced that it had entered into an agreement with Ochre, a wholly

owned subsidiary of OGH, to sell its Remaining Royalty Interests in Atlas’ Corunna Downs and an adjacent

tenement known as Panorama to Ochre.

The consideration payable to Gondwana by Ochre under the Transaction for the sale of the Remaining

Royalty Interests comprises:

the Selective Buy Back and cancellation of all shares held by OGH and its associated company,

Joffrey, in Gondwana (being 5,766,016 shares held by OGH and 850,000 shares held by Joffrey);

and

a cash deposit of $100,000.

We note there is no offer price for the Selective Buy Back as the consideration is in a non-cash form, being

the disposal of the Remaining Royalty Interests.

The Transaction is subject to the following conditions:

Gondwana receiving the cash deposit;

approval by Shareholders by way of a special resolution; and

Atlas providing its written consent to Gondwana for the selling, transferring and assigning the

Remaining Royalty Interest to Ochre.

Ochre has also requested and Gondwana has agreed that if, for any reason, the royalty rights on the first

30 million tonnes of iron ore from Corunna Downs should revert to Gondwana ownership, Ochre will have a

first right of refusal should Gondwana decide to dispose of them.

4.1 Shareholding following the Selective Buy Back

As at the date of our Report Ochre has a relevant interest in 22.33% of Gondwana’s issued capital.

Following the Selective Buy Back of 5,766,016 shares held by OGH and 850,000 held by Joffrey, Ochre will

not hold any shares in Gondwana.

5. Profile of Gondwana

5.1 Overview

Gondwana is a mineral exploration company with a focus on gold and nickel in the Parker Range, Pilbara

and Gascoyne regions of Western Australia. The Company was incorporated on 10 April 1980 and listed on

the ASX on 2 April 1987. On 18 September 2017, Gondwana was automatically removed from the official list

by ASX under Listing Rule 17.12 due to its securities being suspended from trading for a continuous period

of three years.

The Company’s current board members are listed below:

Mr Warren Beckwith - Chairman and Managing Director;

Mr Steven Pynt - Non-Executive Director; and

Mr Jolyon Sinclair, Non-Executive Director.

5.2 Recent Corporate Events

On 12 May 2014, Ochre announced a conditional and unsolicited off-market takeover offer for Gondwana.

The offer price was cash consideration of $0.082 per share. Gondwana’s directors unanimously

recommended that its shareholders reject the offer as set out in its Target Statement released to the

market on 18 July 2014.

On 18 August 2014, Ochre increased the offer price to $0.115 per share. Gondwana’s directors

unanimously recommended that its shareholders reject the offer as set out in its Target Statement

released to the market on 11 September 2014.

Gondwana incurred substantial legal and other professional costs during the takeover bid and was not able

to complete proposed underwritten rights issues during this time. Gondwana sold non-core assets in order

to pay for these legal and other professional costs. The non-core assets sold comprised:

a 90% interest in the Panorama tenement to Atlas for $200,000;

the termination of Atlas’ obligation to make a $1.13 per tonne royalty payment to Gondwana on

the first 30 Mt produced from Atlas’ Corunna Downs, pursuant to the Deed of Variation. As

consideration for the termination of Atlas’ obligation, Atlas paid Gondwana $1million and issued

the Company $1 million in Atlas shares; and

non-core tenements at Parker Range for $247,476.

During this period, Gondwana failed to lodge with the ASX its statutory financial statements, half-yearly

report and annual report. Consequently, Gondwana’s securities were suspended from trading on the ASX

on 15 September 2014.

On 18 September 2017, Gondwana was automatically removed from the official list by ASX under Listing

Rule 17.12, due to its securities being suspended from trading for a continuous period of three years.

5.3 Projects

Parker Range Gold Project

The Parker Range Gold Project is the Company’s flagship project and is located in the Southern Cross

Greenstone Belt. Gondwana holds mining and exploration licences prospective for gold and nickel,

covering an area of approximately 500 km2.

8

Gondwana’s recent focus at Parker Range has been to transform historic gold deposits into JORC

compliant gold resources and to explore nearby historic gold prospects with the aim of increasing total

resources.

The Company has also been conducting mining studies with a view to establishing production on a toll

treatment or similar basis. The Parker Range Project is deemed to be a relatively small gold deposit,

however Gondwana has indicated that the deposit has the potential to be exploited for a low capital cost

through the use of mining contractors and treatment at one of several nearby plants.

Forrestania

Gondwana holds an exploration licence application for the Forrestania project.

East Pilbara

Gondwana holds one exploration licence within the East Pilbara, with the area prospective for gold.

Further information on Gondwana’s projects may be found in Appendix 3.

dependent upon one or a combination of its successful relisting on the ASX, further anticipated capital

raisings, potential gold mining income and sale of assets.

Commentary on Historical Financial Information

We note the following in relation to Gondwana’s Historical Financial Information:

On 22 October 2015, Gondwana entered into an agreement to terminate its Atlas’ obligation to

make a royalty payment on the first 30 Mt produced from Corunna Downs. The consideration

comprised $1 million in cash and $1 million in Atlas shares. The profit from the sale of Atlas shares

was brought to account in the year ended 31 December 2016.

On 11 November 2016, Gondwana entered into an agreement to sell its Remaining Royalty

6. Remaining Royalty Interests

Following completion of Atlas’ obligations under the Deed of Variation, Gondwana’s Remaining Royalty

Interests in Corunna Downs and an adjacent tenement known as Panorama comprise:

Corunna Downs iron ore – $1.13 per tonne of iron ore sold beyond the first 30 Mt of production;

Corunna Downs other minerals – 1.5% of gross proceeds of sale; and

Panorama iron ore and other minerals – 1% of gross proceeds of sale.

As at the date of our Report, Gondwana attributes no value to the Remaining Royalty Interests.

6.1 Overview of Atlas, Corunna Downs and Panorama

Atlas is an Australian iron ore company, with mining operations in the Northern Pilbara region of Western

Australia. Atlas has two operating mines; the Abydos Mine and the Mt Webber Mine, and two expansion

projects; McPhee Creek and Corunna Downs.

Corunna Downs

Corunna Downs is an iron ore project located 237 kilometres from Port Hedland. On 21 December 2016,

Atlas released the results from its Definitive Feasibility Study (‘DFS’) for Corunna Downs, outlining the

potential for the project to deliver four million tonnes per annum over a mine life of five to six years.

During FY17, Atlas undertook environmental surveys and studies at Corunna Downs in anticipation of future

environment approvals and on 16 February 2017, Atlas announced Board approval for the development of

Corunna Downs. On 21 June 2017, Atlas announced that the development of Corunna Downs had been

deferred, due to the current iron ore market conditions and the government approval process taking longer

than expected. Atlas maintain that the project is important to sustain its production base, and will assess

the project again once environmental approvals are received.

As outlined in Atlas’ 2017 Annual Report to shareholders, Corunna Downs has an ore reserve of 21 Mt (21 Mt

Probable) and a mineral resource of 64 Mt (51Mt Indicated and 13Mt Inferred). In assessing the value of the

Remaining Royalty Interests we have only considered ore reserves as we do not have reasonable grounds to

assume a conversion of resources to reserves. We note that Atlas have stated publically that they anticipate

a production rate of 4Mt per annum with the project having a life of 5-6 years. Based on this we are of the

view that there are no reasonable grounds for valuation of the royalty interests post the initial 30 Mt.

Panorama

Gondwana sold its 90% interest in the Panorama tenement to Atlas Operations Pty Ltd (‘Atlas Operations’),

a subsidiary of Atlas, in 2014. The exploration license which covers the tenement was granted in June 2013

and expires in June 2018.

There is no JORC compliant mineral resource or ore reserve reported for the Panorama tenement and Atlas

is not currently undertaking any exploration activity over this tenement.

7. Economic analysis

Domestic growth

Growth in the Australian economy is expected to be around three per cent over the first half of 2018. The

Australian economy experienced a decline in mining investment over recent years, with mining investment

expected to fall further over the next year. However, much of the remaining decline is expected to be

contained to liquefied natural gas investments, indicating that the transition to lower levels of mining

investment is almost complete.

Labour market conditions continue to improve, with the recent growth in employment supporting growth

in household income and consumption. Underlying inflation is higher than it was late last year, and is

expected to increase as spare capacity in the labour market declines. Growth in non-mining activity is also

expected to pick up, supported by the stronger growth in household consumption.

Overall, the Australian economy is expected to strengthen, supported by the low level of interest rates

and the ongoing recovery in the global economy.

Credit growth

Conditions for obtaining funding remain favourable for banks and non-financial businesses, with spreads of

corporate bond yields to government bonds remaining at low levels. Demand for credit has varied across

sectors, with reported weakness in approvals for industries including construction, telecommunications,

transportation and utilities.

Conditions in the housing markets around the country are mixed, with prices rising in some markets and

declining in others. Growth in housing debt is outpacing growth in household income and funding costs are

starting to increase, as lenders increase mortgage rates and rates paid on interest only loans.

Overall, business credit growth has grown modestly, with the recent pick up reflective of some stability in

lending to the resource sector.

Commodity prices

Profits in the mining sector remain high, with resource export volumes rising in line with the increase in

bulk commodity prices. Iron ore prices have increased following positive activity data from China and

improvements in global economic conditions have driven increases in base metal prices. While strong

growth in China’s residential property market continues to support commodity prices, there is uncertainty

around its growth outlook and how it will address its rising debt levels.

Currency movements

The Australian dollar has appreciated since the start of 2017, reaching levels similar to that experienced

in late 2014, following a broad-based depreciation of the United States dollar. The expectation is that

further appreciation of the Australian dollar will lead to a slower pick-up in economic activity and

inflation.

8. Industry analysis

8.1 Gold Industry

Gold is a soft malleable metal which is highly desirable due to its rarity and unique mineral properties.

Gold has been used in jewellery and as a form of currency for thousands of years, however in more recent

history there has been increasing demand for its use in the manufacture of electronics, dentistry,

medicine and aerospace technology.

In addition to its practical applications, gold also serves as an international store of monetary value. Gold

is widely regarded as a monetary asset as it is considered less volatile than world currencies and provides

a safe haven investment during periods of economic uncertainty. Once mined, gold continues to exist

indefinitely and is often melted down and recycled to produce alternative or replacement products.

Consequently, demand for gold is supported by both gold ore mining and gold recycling. A summary of the

supply of gold for the seven years through 2016 is provided in the table below:

Gold supply (tonnes) 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Mine production 2,744 2,846 2,911 3,073 3,148 3,220 3,255

Net producer hedging (109) 23 (45) (28) 105 13 33

Recycled gold 1,683 1,667 1,691 1,262 1,189 1,120 1,296

Total supply 4,318 4,536 4,557 4,307 4,442 4,353 4,584

Source: World Gold Council and Independent Market Research

The gold ore mining industry has performed steadily in recent years, with growth driven by price increases

and gold’s status as a counter cyclical commodity. However, Industry revenue is projected to stagnate as

the world economy stabilises following uncertainty surrounding the United States (‘US’) Presidential

Election and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. According to IBIS World, Industry

revenue is projected to increase at an annualized 4.5% over the five years through 2017-18 to reach $16.6

billion.

Key External Drivers

Global gold prices have a significant impact on the revenue generated by Industry operators. When gold

prices are low, gold miners are less likely to commit to projects with lower gold grades and higher

production costs. Ultimately, a decline in gold prices reduces the viability of new and existing projects,

which hinders Industry growth.

The global gold price is denominated in US dollars. Therefore, the exchange rate directly affects the

returns received by local Industry operators. A weaker domestic currency benefits the local Industry by

reducing prices in export markets and providing opportunities for expansion.

Global demand for gold is also influenced by global economic performance, which is inversely related due

to the counter cyclical nature of gold. Stronger global gross domestic product growth can therefore

negatively impact gold demand and the Industry. According to IBIS World, global economic performance is

expected to improve, which may place downward pressure on demand for gold. As a result, Industry

revenue is projected to decline at an annualised 1.8% over the five years through 2022-23, to total $15.1

billion.

14

Gold Ore Mining Trends

Gold ore mining is a capital intensive and high cost process, which is becoming increasingly difficult and

more expensive as the quality of ore diminishes. The Industry also incurs many indirect costs related to

exploration, royalties, overheads, marketing and native title law. Typically, many of these costs are fixed

in the short term as a result of Industry operators’ inability to significantly alter cost structures once a

mine commences operation.

Until the late 1980s, South Africa produced approximately half of the total gold ore mined globally. More

recently however, the Industry has diversified geographically, with China and Australia dominating global

gold production. According to the United States Geological Survey for January 2017, total estimated global

gold ore mined for 2016 was approximately 3,100 metric tonnes.

Gold prices

The price of gold peaked at US$1,900 on 5 September 2011, due largely to the debt market crisis in

Europe and the Standard and Poor’s downgrade of the US credit rating. Global stock markets subsequently

went into turmoil, which saw a flood of investors towards safer havens such as gold.

The price of gold fluctuated around US$1,700 during 2012 before entering a steep decline in 2013. The

downturn represented the beginning of a correction in the price of gold, which had almost tripled in the

two-year period prior to the European crisis in 2011. Improved market sentiment and increased risk

appetite from investors saw gold prices continue to decline throughout 2014 and 2015 to US$1,051 in

December 2015. During 2016, gold prices strengthened, likely as a result of heightened uncertainty

surrounding the US Presidential election and the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. The

price of gold reached US$1,363 in late 2016 before stabilising around US$1,200 for the first half of 2017.

The gold spot price since 2007 and forecast prices through to 2022 are depicted in the graph below:

Source: Bloomberg, Consensus Economics and BDO analysis

According to Consensus Economics, gold prices are forecast to remain relatively stable with a long term

nominal price forecast of approximately US$1,300 per ounce.

8.2 Iron Ore Industry

Iron ores are rocks from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The principal iron ores are

hematite (Fe2O3) and magnetite (Fe3O4).

Hematite is a pure iron oxide mineral, with pure hematite mineral containing 69.9 % iron. Hematite ores

dominate the world production of iron ores with approximately 96% of Australia’s iron ore exports being

high grade hematite. High grade hematite ore involves a relatively simple crushing and screening process

before being exported. Australia’s hematite averages from 56% to 62% iron.

Magnetite is an iron oxide mineral containing 72.4% iron. While the iron ore content is higher than

hematite, the presences of impurities results in a lower ore grade, making it costlier to produce the

concentrates.

Iron is the world’s most used metal with approximately 98% of world iron ore production being used to

make steel. It is primarily used in structural engineering, automobiles and other general industrial

applications. Commercial development of iron ore deposits are largely constrained by the position of the

iron ore relative to its market and the cost of establishing proper transportation infrastructure such as

ports and railways.

There are three main categories of iron ore exports:

Fines: fines are the smallest size category and typically have a granular size less than 9.50mm.

They are the most heavily traded category of iron ore;

Lump Ore: lump ore consists of golf ball sized pieces, and generally has a higher iron content than

fines; and

Pellets: particle sizes range from 9.50mm to 16.00mm. Pellets are made by agglomeration of finely

ground and concentrated ore.

In 2016, an estimated 2.23 billion metric tonnes of iron ore was produced. The chart below shows the

countries in which the majority of iron ore was produced in 2016:

Price Trends:

Historical iron ore prices and forecasts to 2026 are illustrated in the chart below

The price of iron ore peaked at US$191.7/tonne in February 2011, this was largely driven by growing

Chinese demand for steel. Chinese demand continued to support high global iron ore prices through 2012

and 2013. A slowdown in the Chinese economy and an oversupply of iron ore lead to decline in global iron

ore prices in 2014 and 2015. The spot price of iron ore began to rise in early 2016, following a recovery in

Chinese demand for iron ore. The pick-up in demand was driven by a rebound in Chinese property

investment, and growth in infrastructure investment. This drove demand for construction and transport

related steel products. Prices declined in May 2017, as Chinese production increased. More recently prices

have increased due to disruptions to production as a result of environmental inspections at Chinese iron

ore mines. The iron price is expected to decline over the next year, as demand from China is expected to

ease and low cost global supply comes on line.

9. Valuation approach adopted

There are a number of methodologies which can be used to value a business or the shares in a company.

The principal methodologies which can be used are as follows:

Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘FME’)

Discounted cash flow (‘DCF’)

Quoted market price basis (‘QMP’)

Net asset value (‘NAV’)

Market based assessment

A summary of each of these methodologies is outlined in Appendix 2.

Different methodologies are appropriate in valuing particular companies, based on the individual

circumstances of that company and available information.

It is possible for a combination of different methodologies to be used together to determine an overall

value where separate assets and liabilities are valued using different methodologies. When such a

combination of methodologies is used, it is referred to as a ‘sum-of-parts’ (‘Sum-of-Parts’) valuation.

The approach using the Sum-of-Parts involves separately valuing each asset and liability of the company.

The value of each asset and liability may be determined using different methodologies as described above.

The component parts are then valued using the NAV methodology, which involves aggregating the

estimated fair market value of each individual company’s assets and liabilities.

The Transaction is not a control transaction, and furthermore, the Shareholders will have greater control

following the Transaction as a result of the Selective Buy Back. Our fairness assessment compares the net

asset value of Gondwana prior to and following the Transaction, both of which are reflective of a

controlling interest.

9.1 Valuation of Gondwana prior to the Transaction

In our assessment of the value of Gondwana’s shares prior to the Transaction we have chosen to employ

the Sum-of-Parts methodology having consideration to the:

value of the Remaining Royalty Interests;

value of the mineral assets held by Gondwana (reliance on the valuation carried out by the

technical expert); and

value of other assets and liabilities of Gondwana (using the NAV method).

We have chosen the Sum-of-Parts methodology for the following reasons:

as Gondwana is an exploration and pre-development company, the core value of Gondwana is in

the exploration assets it holds. We have instructed Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd (‘Agricola’)

to act as independent specialist and provide an independent market valuation of the Company’s

mineral assets in accordance with the Australian Code for Public Reporting of Technical

Assessments and Valuations of Mineral Assets (‘the Valmin Code 2015’) and the Australasian Code

for Report of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (‘JORC Code 2012’).

Agricola’s full report may be found in Appendix 3.;

18

the value of the Remaining Royalty Interests held by Gondwana comprise royalties on production

and sales. Given that Corunna Downs and Panorama are both pre-development, there are no

estimated production targets or future cash flows available to assess the value of the Remaining

Royalty Interests under a cost or income approach. Where we have reasonable grounds to

attribute a value to the Remaining Royalty Interests we have considered the market based

assessment;

the other assets and liabilities are valued using the cost approach under the NAV method;

Gondwana was automatically removed from the official list by ASX under Listing Rule 17.12, due

to its securities being suspended from trading for a continuous period of three years. This means

that the QMP valuation approach is not appropriate as a primary or secondary valuation

methodology;

Gondwana does not generate regular trading income and therefore there are no historic profits

that could be used to represent future earnings. This means that the FME valuation approach is

not appropriate as a primary or secondary valuation methodology; and

Gondwana has no foreseeable future net cash inflows and therefore the application of the DCF

valuation approach is not appropriate as a primary or secondary valuation methodology.

9.2 Valuation of Gondwana following the Transaction

In our assessment of the value of Gondwana’s shares following the Transaction we have chosen to employ

the Sum-of-Parts methodology having consideration to the:

value of Gondwana prior to the Transaction as outlined in section 9.1;

the cash deposit of $100,000; and

the number of shares on issue following the cancellation of shares under the Selective Buy Back.

The value of a Gondwana share prior the Transaction on a control basis is nil.

10.1.1. Remaining Royalty Interests

As set out in the financial statements as at 30 June 2017, Gondwana attributes no value to the Remaining

Royalty Interests. The Remaining Royalty Interests comprise:

$1.13 per tonne of iron ore sold beyond the first 30 Mt of production at Corunna Downs;

1.5% of gross proceeds on the sale of other minerals at Corunna Downs; and

1% of gross proceeds on the sale of all minerals recovered at Panorama.

In assessing the value of the Remaining Royalty Interests we have considered the stage of exploration and

development of both Corunna Downs and Panorama.

Corunna Downs

Corunna Downs has an ore reserve of 21 Mt, and as stated in section 6.1, we do not have reasonable

grounds to assume a conversion of the resources to reserves. The ore reserve is lower than the 30 Mt

production hurdle Atlas must meet before Gondwana is eligible to receive a $1.13 per tonne royalty on the

sale of iron ore from Corunna Down. As a result, the value attributable to a royalty of $1.13 per tonne of

iron ore sold beyond the first 30 Mt of production is nil.

The development of the project was deferred due to the current iron ore market conditions and

government approval process taking longer than expected. Atlas provided no indication as to when

construction at Corunna Downs will begin, which will move the project from the exploration to

development stage. With no funding committed to the development of Corunna Downs we do not have

reasonable grounds to attribute any value to future production at Corunna Downs. As a result, the value

attributable to 1.5% of gross proceeds of sale of other minerals at Corunna Down is nil.

Panorama

The tonnage, density, grade and mineral content at Panorama is yet to be estimated with a high enough

level of confidence to be able to release a JORC compliant mineral resource statement, and limited

exploration work has been carried out by Atlas over the exploration area. With no defined mineral

resource, we do not have reasonable grounds to attribute any value to a royalty of 1% of gross proceeds on

all minerals sold at Panorama.

10.1.2. Mineral Assets held by Gondwana

We instructed Agricola to provide an independent market valuation of the exploration assets held by

Gondwana. Agricola considered a number of different valuation methods when valuing the exploration

assets of Gondwana. Agricola applied the Comparable Transactions and Geo-Factor Rating methods. We

consider these methods to be appropriate given the pre-feasibility stage of development for Gondwana’s

exploration assets.

The range of values for each of Gondwana’s exploration assets as calculated by Agricola is set out below:

We have assumed that the fair market value of the other assets and liabilities as at 30 June 2017 are equal

to the current carrying values, apart from the adjustments set out below. We note that as at 30 June

2017 the Company noted a $250,000 contingent asset being a deferred payment for first production from

Corunna Downs.

Note 1: Exploration and evaluation expenditure

We have removed the entire balance of exploration and evaluation expenditure of $110,300 as at 30 June

2017 as it relates the Parker Range Gold Project which has been included in Agricola’s valuation of the

mineral assets held by Gondwana.

Note 2: Interest bearing liabilities

On 11 July 2017, the remainder on the unsecured loan with Bellatrix Pty Ltd was drawn down. As a result,

we have adjusted interest bearing liabilities as at 30 June 2017 to reflect the balance drawn down as at

the date of our Report. We note that no adjustment has been made to cash and cash equivalents for this

drawdown as the amount has been used for general working capital requirements.

Transaction is fair.

13. Is the Transaction reasonable?

13.1 Alternative Proposal

We are unaware of any alternative proposal that might offer the Shareholders of Gondwana a premium

over the value resulting from the Transaction.

13.2 Advantages of Approving the Transaction

We have considered the following advantages when assessing whether the Transaction is reasonable.

Advantage Description

The Transaction is fair As set out in Section 12 the Transaction is fair. RG 111 states that

an offer is reasonable if it is fair.

Removal of a significant shareholder If the Transaction is approved, Gondwana will buy back and cancel

all of the shares held OGH and Joffrey, being 22.33% of its issued

capital. Following the Transaction, existing shareholders’ relevant

interest in Gondwana will increase from 77.67% to 100%.

In addition, the removal of a significant shareholder may make

Gondwana a more attractive investment opportunity to investors,

increasing its ability to raise funds in the future.

Preserve cash balance for the development of

the Parker Range Gold Project

There is no offer price for the Selective Buy Back as the

consideration is in a non-cash form, being the disposal of the

Remaining Royalty Interests. Therefore, the Selective Buy back

will have no negative impact on the Company’s cash reserves.

In addition, Gondwana will receive a cash deposit of $100,000.

Increased exposure to contingent asset If Atlas achieves production at Corunna Downs a contingent asset

of $250,000 is payable to Gondwana, which following the

Selective Buy Back will provide greater exposure for existing

shareholders.

23

13.3 Disadvantages of Approving the Transaction

If the Transaction is approved, in our opinion, the potential disadvantages to Shareholders include those

listed in the table below:

Disadvantage Description

Loss of potential benefits flowing from

Remaining Royalty Interests

If the Transaction is approved, Gondwana will no longer have the

right to receive royalty payments from production and sales at

Corunna Downs and Panorama

14. Conclusion

We have considered the terms of the Transaction as outlined in the body of this report and have

concluded that, in the absence of an alternate offer, the Transaction is fair and reasonable to

Shareholders.

Appendix 2 – Valuation Methodologies

Methodologies commonly used for valuing assets and businesses are as follows:

1 Net asset value (‘NAV’)

Asset based methods estimate the market value of an entity’s securities based on the realisable value of

its identifiable net assets. Asset based methods include:

Orderly realisation of assets method

Liquidation of assets method

Net assets on a going concern method

The orderly realisation of assets method estimates fair market value by determining the amount that

would be distributed to entity holders, after payment of all liabilities including realisation costs and

taxation charges that arise, assuming the entity is wound up in an orderly manner.

The liquidation method is similar to the orderly realisation of assets method except the liquidation

method assumes the assets are sold in a shorter time frame. Since wind up or liquidation of the entity

may not be contemplated, these methods in their strictest form may not be appropriate. The net assets

on a going concern method estimates the market values of the net assets of an entity but does not take

into account any realisation costs.

Net assets on a going concern basis are usually appropriate where the majority of assets consist of cash,

passive investments or projects with a limited life. All assets and liabilities of the entity are valued at

market value under this alternative and this combined market value forms the basis for the entity’s

valuation.

Often the FME and DCF methodologies are used in valuing assets forming part of the overall Net assets on

a going concern basis. This is particularly so for exploration and mining companies where investments are

in finite life producing assets or prospective exploration areas.

These asset based methods ignore the possibility that the entity’s value could exceed the realisable value

of its assets as they do not recognise the value of intangible assets such as management, intellectual

property and goodwill. Asset based methods are appropriate when an entity is not making an adequate

return on its assets, a significant proportion of the entity’s assets are liquid or for asset holding

companies.

2 Quoted Market Price Basis (‘QMP’)

A valuation approach that can be used in conjunction with (or as a replacement for) other valuation

methods is the quoted market price of listed securities. Where there is a ready market for securities such

as the ASX, through which shares are traded, recent prices at which shares are bought and sold can be

taken as the market value per share. Such market value includes all factors and influences that impact

upon the ASX. The use of ASX pricing is more relevant where a security displays regular high volume

trading, creating a liquid and active market in that security.

3 Capitalisation of future maintainable earnings (‘FME’)

This method places a value on the business by estimating the likely FME, capitalised at an appropriate rate

which reflects business outlook, business risk, investor expectations, future growth prospects and other

entity specific factors. This approach relies on the availability and analysis of comparable market data.

30

The FME approach is the most commonly applied valuation technique and is particularly applicable to

profitable businesses with relatively steady growth histories and forecasts, regular capital expenditure

requirements and non-finite lives.

The FME used in the valuation can be based on net profit after tax or alternatives to this such as earnings

before interest and tax (‘EBIT’) or earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation

(‘EBITDA’). The capitalisation rate or ‘earnings multiple’ is adjusted to reflect which base is being used

for FME.

4 Discounted future cash flows (‘DCF’)

The DCF methodology is based on the generally accepted theory that the value of an asset or business

depends on its future net cash flows, discounted to their present value at an appropriate discount rate

(often called the weighted average cost of capital). This discount rate represents an opportunity cost of

capital reflecting the expected rate of return which investors can obtain from investments having

equivalent risks.

Considerable judgement is required to estimate the future cash flows which must be able to be reliably

estimated for a sufficiently long period to make this valuation methodology appropriate.

A terminal value for the asset or business is calculated at the end of the future cash flow period and this is

also discounted to its present value using the appropriate discount rate.

DCF valuations are particularly applicable to businesses with limited lives, experiencing growth, that are

in a start-up phase, or experience irregular cash flows.

5 Market Based Assessment

The market based approach seeks to arrive at a value for a business by reference to comparable

transactions involving the sale of similar businesses. This is based on the premise that companies with

similar characteristics, such as operating in similar industries, command similar values. In performing this

analysis it is important to acknowledge the differences between the comparable companies being analysed

and the company that is being valued and then to reflect these differences in the valuation.

38 Station Street

Subiaco, WA 6008

Dear Sirs,

Re: INDEPENDENT VALUATION OF THE MINERAL ASSETS IN WESTERN

AUSTRALIA HELD BY GONDWANA RESOURCES LIMITED

Agricola Mining Consultants Pty Ltd (“Agricola”) was commissioned by the Directors of

BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd to provide a Mineral Asset Valuation Report

(“Report”) of the Mineral assets held by Gondwana Resources Limited (the “Company”).

This report serves to comment on the geological setting and exploration results on the

properties and presents a technical and market valuation for the exploration assets based on

the information in this Report.

The present status of the tenements is based on information made available by the Company

and independently verified by Agricola. The Report has been prepared on the assumption that

the tenements are lawfully accessible for evaluation.

Scope of the Valuation Report

A valuation report expresses an opinion as to monetary value of a mineral asset but

specifically excludes commentary on the value of any related corporate Securities. Agricola

prepared this Report utilizing information relating to exploration methods and expectations

provided to it by various sources. Where possible, Agricola has verified this information from

independent sources. This Report has been prepared for the purpose of providing information

to the Client.

This mineral asset valuation endeavours to ascertain the unencumbered price which a willing

but not anxious vendor could reasonably expect to obtain and a hypothetical willing but not

too anxious purchaser could reasonably expect to have to pay for the property if the vendor

and the purchaser had got together and agreed on a price in friendly negotiation.

Page | 2

This is commonly known as the Spencer Test after the Australian High Court decision upon

which these principles are based and to which the Courts have used in their determinations of

market value of a property. In attributing the price that would be paid to the hypothetical

vendor by the hypothetical purchaser it is assumed that the property will be put to its “highest

and best use”.

Applying the Spencer Test may not be confined to a technical valuation exercise but may

involve a consideration of market factors. In a highly speculative market during ‘boom’

conditions or a depressed market during ‘bust’ conditions the hypothetical purchaser may

expect to pay a premium or receive a discount commensurate with the current market for

mineral properties.

The findings of the valuation Report include an assessment of the technical value (i.e. the

value implied by a consideration of the technical attributes of the asset) and a market value

(which considers the influences of external market forces and risk). A range of values (high,

low and preferred) has been determined and stated in the Report to reflect any uncertainties in

the data and the interaction of the various assumptions made.

The main requirements of the Valuation Report are:

- Prepared in accordance with the VALMIN Code 2015

- Experience and qualifications of key personnel to be set out

- Details of valuation methodologies

- Reasoning for the selection of the valuation approach adopted

- Details of the valuation calculations

- Conclusion on value as a range with a preferred value

DECLARATIONS

Relevant codes and guidelines

This Report has been prepared as a technical assessment and valuation in accordance with the

Australasian Code for Public Reporting of Technical Assessment and Valuation of Mineral

Assets (the “VALMIN Code”, 2015 Edition), which is binding upon Members of the

Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“AusIMM”) and the Australian Institute of

Geoscientists (“AIG”), as well as the rules and guidelines issued by the Australian Securities

and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) and the ASX Limited (“ASX”) Regulatory Guides

that pertain to Content od Experts Reports (RG 111, March 2011) and Independence of

Experts ( RG 112, March 2011).

The report has been prepared in compliance with the Corporations Act and ASIC Regulatory

Guide 112 with respect to Agricola’s independence as experts. Agricola regards RG112.31 to

Page | 3

be in compliance whereby there are no business or professional relationships or interests that

would affect the expert’s ability to present an unbiased opinion within this report.

Where exploration results and mineral resources have been referred to in this report, the

information was prepared and first disclosed under the Australasian Code for Reporting of

Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (“JORC Code”), prepared by the

Joint Ore Reserves Committee of the AusIMM, the AIG and the Minerals Council of

Australia 2012.

Sources of Information

The statements and opinion contained in this report are given in good faith and this review is

based on information provided by the title holders, along with technical reports by

consultants, previous tenements holders and other relevant published and unpublished data

for the area. Agricola has endeavoured, by making all reasonable enquiries, to confirm the

authenticity, accuracy and completeness of the technical data upon which this report is based.

A final draft of this report was provided to the Company, along with a written request to

identify any material errors or omissions in the technical information prior to lodgement.

In compiling this report, Agricola did not carry out a site visit to the project areas. Based on

its professional knowledge, experience and the availability of extensive databases and

technical reports made available by various Government Agencies and the early stage of

exploration, Agricola considers that sufficient current information was available to allow an

informed appraisal to be made without such a visit.

This Report contains statements attributable to third persons. These statements are made in,

or based on statements made in previous geological reports that are publicly available from

either a government department or the ASX. The authors of these previous reports have not

consented to the statements’ use in this Report, and these statements are included in

accordance with ASIC Corporations (Consents to Statements) Instrument 2016/72.

The independent valuation report has been compiled based on information available up to and

including the date of this report. The information has been evaluated through analysis,

enquiry and review for the purposes of forming an opinion as to value. However, Agricola

does not warrant that its enquiries have identified or verified all of the matters that an audit,

extensive examination or "due diligence" investigation might disclose.

PROJECT REVIEW

Parker Range Gold Project – Mineral Resources

Note on Mineral Resource Estimate

The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources is based on information

compiled by Mr David Hollingsworth, a consultant of the company. Mr Hollingsworth has

sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposits

under consideration and to the activity to undertake the resource estimates. Mr Hollingsworth

consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and

context in which it appears.

The Mineral Resource estimation was released in the following document: Gondwana

Resources Ltd, Activities Report - December Quarter 2015, ASX Release 26 January 2016

Malcolm Castle has reviewed this information in his capacity of Independent Geologist and

has satisfied himself that the estimates quoted are reasonable and accurately reflect the

geological controls and distribution of the mineralisation.

Agricola confirms that:

(a) the form and context in which Mr Hollingsworth’s findings are presented have not been

materially modified; and

Page | 8

(b) it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information

included in the Company’s Resource Estimate and that all the material assumptions and

technical parameters underpinning the estimate in the Information Memorandum continue to

apply and have not materially changed;

Parker Range Exploration

A recent historic soil data compilation identified multiple gold in soil anomalies. During the

second half of 2016, anomalous gold areas were infill soil sampled at Buffalo East, Mopoke

North/South, Gordon Highlander, White Horseshoe, Star of the Range and Black Cat

prospects.

Location of the Parker Range Project1

During 2016, extensive infill soil surveying programs have been completed in the Company’s

Parker Range tenements, with gold-in-soil samples taken from a depth between 0.2m and

0.3m. Some graphitic sulphidic sediment outcrops were sampled for carbon content and

multiple pegmatite outcrops were rock chipped for lithium content. A recent review of the

Star of the Range area shows that the historic 1990 mining and exploration did not cover the

1 Source: Gondwana Half yearly Report, July 2017, Competent Person: Grant Donnes

Page | 9

area immediately south of the Star of the Range mine and north of the Black Cat underground

mine.

Black Cat is located at an inflection in the magnetics and mapped in earlier Mines

Department bulletins as 3 x BIF units bending at that location. A steeply plunging quartz vein

similar to Centenary may exist in-between the iron rich amphibolites, A depleted sulphide

zone will be leached near the surface along the eastern BIF as it has enriched the remnant

relict laterite.

The Star of the Range (SOTR) and Black Cat gold mine laterite pits show extensive

oxidization of an altered amphibolite, which developed after intense shearing of the mafic

host. Gold in soil mineralisation is likely continuous between the 2 pits, and under the cross

cutting alluvial drainage channel (through the centre of the soil survey) which drains into the

salt lake. Remnant exposures of laterite are all that remains of the relict soil terrain, some of

which was mined prior to 1982 and the rest in 1992. Multiple quartz lodes were injected

along shear zones between the stacked BIF units and although small in tonnage, some do

have bonanza +80g/t gold grades.

An airborne EM survey is still to be conducted for sulphide detection down dip prior to

finalising the planned RC drill hole program design.

Drilling of three other gold mines along the same BIF hosted geology (at Centenary, Buffalo

and Spring Hill) showed up to 4 stacked BIF units with them all carrying varying amounts of

gold. Gold mineralisation is often enriched in the central and eastern BIF units, closest to the

granite dome upwelling. At Centenary quartz rich shoots plunge down the main asymmetric

fold void created during folding of the BIF, from horizontal N-S movements along the shear

zone around the dome. Many Parker Range gold deposits have higher grade mineralisation

below the depletion zone where fresh pyrrhotite sulphide mineralisation is located. The gold

sulphide ore is formed within a proximal shear zone parallel to the granite dome. The gold

rich sulphide mineralisation is usually at the centre of a major shearing system and often

adjoins a distal shear zone on sheared margins, creating amphibolite magnetite alteration

along the belt’s entire strike length.

Forrestania Project

The Forrestania prospect (exploration licence application) contains a gold-bearing laterite, at

the Blue Turtle prospect. Shallow drilling on 100m spaced lines either side failed to delineate

any continuity. In this area, depletion zones combined with near vertical gold shoots in the

unweathered basement are often beneath near-surface oxide mineralization, and it appears no

deep RC drilling has been undertaken at this prospect. Multiple E-W trending dykes at this

location have disturbed the N-S stratigraphy and mineralization may be locally folded or

remobilized, so could be trending oblique to the E-W drill lines. Gold mineralization could

potentially be around 150m in strike and may be related to a vertical or sub- vertical plunging

shoot.

The application area lies immediately west of a recent lithium discovery at Mt Holland. The

neighbouring tenement holder has drilled a lithium-rich pegmatite to the south and under the

Page | 10

old Earl Grey gold mine. There is little drilling south-south west for pegmatite and a review

with the regional aeromagnetic data shows the greenstone belt appears to trend south-south

west towards the Blue Turtle prospect.

East Pilbara tenements

The Nullagine gold project is considered prospective for mineralisation similar to that found

at Millennium Minerals’ Nullagine Gold Project. Gold has also been mined from along the

Blue Spec Fault, east of Gondwana’s project. Historical drilling on the Blue Spec Fault

indicates gold mineralisation extends over a 5km strike length, with gold being hosted in or

adjacent to near vertical quartz veins.

The company has completed a data review and an initial field exploration program. ASTER

imagery and an interpretation report was acquired from Geoimage Pty Ltd. Fieldwork

included mapping of accessible areas and collection of 105 rock chip samples. Interpretation

of the geology, the 2017 rock samples and the 2017 geochemical assays, coupled with a

review of the complex mineralising mechanism of the Blue Spec Fault, has resulted in

definition of two previously unknown and untested areas of interest.

The information in this Report that relates to Exploration Results is based on information

compiled by the Company by Mr Grant Donnes, a competent person who is a Member of

the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Donnes has sufficient experience that is

relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposits under consideration and to the

activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012

edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources

and Ore Reserves” (“JORC Code”). Mr Donnes consents to the inclusion in this Report of

the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

Consensus Commodity Price Forecasts

The Australian Gold Price used in this valuation assessment is A$1,620 per ounce.

Contained Value

Contained value is estimated by multiplying tonnes x grade x metal price. The publication of

in situ or ‘in ground’ financial valuations breaches the principles of the JORC Code (as set

out in Clause 4) as the use of these terms is not transparent and lacks material information. It

is also contrary to the intent of Clause 28 of the Code. Such in situ or in ground financial

valuations must not be reported by companies in relation to Exploration Results, Mineral

Resources or deposit size. (JORC Code 2012, Clause 51)

Allowances for modifying multiplying factors are included in the Technical Value

assessment to differentiate between different styles and complexity of mineral resources.

Merger and Acquisition Activity

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) is a general term that refers to the consolidation of

companies or assets. M&A can include a number of different transactions, such as mergers,

acquisitions, consolidations, tender offers, purchase of assets and management acquisitions.

A long-term database has been compiled of M&A activity in the Gold Industry for the period

1990 to 2017 covering an extensive period of Gold Industry boom and bust situations.

Estimated yearly average $/oz values have been compared to the then current gold price to

produce the ‘percentage of spot gold price’. The M&A activity database included projects in

from advance exploration with initial mineral resource estimates to development projects

with preliminary feasibility studies.

A ‘Mineral Resource’ is a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest

in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade (or quality), and quantity that there are

reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. Mineral Resources are sub-divided, in

order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.

(JORC Code 2012).

A modifying factor is applied to the mineral resource to recognize the geological confidence

in the JORC category and allow for resource estimate risk. If the Resource estimates are

historical (not in accordance with the JORC Code 2012) then a further discount is applied.

Modifying Factors

The term ‘reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction’ implies an assessment

(albeit preliminary) by the Competent Person in respect of all matters likely to influence the

prospect of economic extraction including the approximate mining parameters.

Page | 16

‘Modifying Factors’ are considerations used to assess Mineral Resources. These include, but

are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing,

legal, environmental, social and governmental factors. There are uncertainties associated with

the Modifying Factors which are taken into account.

Prospectivity Assessment Factors

An assessment of the prospectivity of tenements was compiled.

Geological Assessment

Off Site Physical indications of favourable evidence for mineralisation, such as

workings and mining on the nearby properties, which may or may not be

owned by the company being valued. Such indications are mineralised

outcrops, old workings through to world-class mines. No other mines past

or present are known to be in the proximity of Parker Range outside the

tenement block. A rating of 1.10 to 1.20 has been ascribed to the Parker

Range Projects and 1.25 to 1.35 for the East Pilbara Project.

On Site Local mineralisation within the tenements and the application of

conceptual models within the tenements. Location and nature of any

mineralisation, geochemical, geological or geophysical anomaly within the

property and the tenor (grade) of any mineralisation known to exist on the

property being valued; The Spring Hill, Buffalo and Centanary deposits

have been valued separately. Some minor workings are present within the

tenements. A rating of 1.20 to 1.30 has been ascribed to the Parker Range

Projects and 1.10 to 1.20 for the East Pilbara Project.

Anomalies Identified anomalies warranting follow up within the tenements.

Geophysical and/or geochemical targets and the number and relative

position of anomalies on the property being valued; A number of targets

have been identified within the tenement that warrant followup drilling

and assessment. A rating of 1.10 to 1.20 has been ascribed to the Parker

Range Projects and 1.10 to 1.10 for the East Pilbara Project.

Geology The proportion of structural and lithological settings within the tenements

and difficulty encountered by cover rocks and other factors. Geological

patterns and models appropriate to the property being valued. The

tenement block overlies a series of basaltic rocks adjacen to granite

intrusions which are known host rocks for gold mineralisation elsewhere

in the Yilgarn Shield. A rating of 1.25 to 1.35 has been ascribed to the

Parker Range Projects and 1.10 to 1.10 for the East Pilbara Project.

Market Premium or Discount

The market in Australia may pay a premium over the technical value for high quality mineral

assets (i.e. assets that hold defined resources that are likely to be mined profitably in the

short-term or projects that are believed to have the potential to develop into mining

operations in the short term even though no resources have been defined). On the other hand

exploration tenements that have no defined attributes apart from interesting geology or a

good address may well trade at a discount to technical value. Deciding upon the level of

discount or premium is entirely a matter of the technical expert’s professional judgement.

This judgement must of course take account of the commodity potential of the tenement, the

proximity of an asset to an established processing facility and the size of the land holding.

In arriving at a market value for the properties, Agricola has taken into consideration the

Company’s equity position if the tenements are subject to a farm-in, joint venture or option to

purchase arrangement.

In the light of the study results, elements of low country risk, changing economics and future

market outlook a market discount of 20% has been applied to the technical value of the

Parker Range Gold Resources and the exploration projects.

Comparable Transactions (Recent Market Transactions) Crosscheck

Page | 22

As a crosscheck, a review of relatively recent transactions was undertaken. The transactions

comprise a selection of Australia gold asset sales whereby all assets had reported Mineral

Resource Estimates, and the sales occurred within the last 4 years. The selection comprises

12 transactions, with assets varying from exploration, operations through to care &

maintenance. The peer transactions show significant variance in valuations from $2.29/oz to

more than $100/oz. The dataset is shown below:

The transactions cover a period of volatility in the gold sector and the gold price and outlook

that exists at the time of sale would have had an influence on the asset market value.

When transactions that sit only within the exploration category are considered, the range of

sales contracts is 2.30 to $27.10 (although still with significant variance), with an average of

$10.00/oz.

03.04.14 2.29 1,394 0.16%

Average 10.04

The Market valuation of the Gondwana Projects, including mineral Resources and

Exploration Ground is estimated to be in the range $8.80 to $14.45 with a preferred value of

$11.40 per ounce.

The significant range of the Recent Transactions assessment is strongly influenced by the

limited number of samples, the gold price at the time and the timing of the transactions. The

far more extensive nature of the M&A database over a period of three decades is considered

to be statistically more reliable. Nonetheless, there is reasonable correlation between the

preferred values of the Comparable Transactions assessments and the Recent Transactions.

VALUATION OPINION

Based on an assessment of the factors involved, the estimate of the market value for 70%

equity in the Company’s Spring Hill and Buffalo gold deposits and 100% equity in the

Centenary deposit, Forrestania and East Pilbara projects is in the range of A$0.73 million

to A$1.20 million with a preferred value of A$0.94 million.

This valuation is effective on 17 October 2017.

This mineral asset valuation endeavours to ascertain the unencumbered price which a willing

but not anxious vendor could reasonably expect to obtain and a hypothetical willing but not

too anxious purchaser could reasonably expect to have to pay for the property if the vendor

and the purchaser had got together and agreed on a price in friendly negotiation (the Spencer

Test). It applies to the direct sale of existing equity in the projects at the time of the time of

this Report.
