*reimbursement for the 2014 drilling program completed by the Vendor, for a total of 2,977 m.

• A minimum aggregate of 17,000 m of drilling must be completed by 10^thAugust 2018. With the requirements of completing 2,000 m before 31^st December 2014 (complete) and a minimum 3,000 m program to commence by 30^th April 2016. The Company has completed 4,218.79 m of drilling to date, the highlights of which are presented in Table 2 below.
• Vendetta has committed to update the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate by 31^st December 2016, to achieve a minimum of 10 million tonnes total inferred, indicated and measured mineral resource for all material types. The current February 2014 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate is presented in Table 3 below. An additional 6,500 m of drilling has been completed since the last NI 43-101.
• To exercise the option and as part of the final transfer of project titles, the Company will pay a $3 million advance royalty to the Vendor.

Vendetta will receive a royalty credit against future royalty payments of $5.25 million, equal to the option payments and the advance royalty.

About Pegmont

The Pegmont lead-zinc-silver deposit is located in North West Queensland Mineral Province, 175 km south-east of Mount Isa, 25 km east of South32's world class Cannington silver-lead-zinc operation and 28 km north of Chinova Resources' Osborne and Kulthor copper-gold operations. It is proximate to infrastructure including roads, rail, and natural gas for power generation.

Pegmont is a multiple lens stratiform Broken Hill style deposit that outcrops with an overall shallow dip to the south east and is hosted in a magnetite rich banded iron formation within high grade metamorphic rocks. The project consists of three granted mining leases and two exploration permits that cover an area of approximately 3,468 ha.

To date, 6,500 m of drilling has been completed on the Project in the Burke Hinge Zone and Zone 5, neither Zone is included in the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate. Highlights of the 2014 drilling is presented in Table 2 below and February 2014 NI 43-101 Mineral Resource in Table 3.
