An Exploration Target is a statement or estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit in a defined geological setting where the statement or R estimate, quoted as a range of tonnes and a range of grade, relates to mineralisation for which there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a ARGENT MINERALS E Mineral Resource. The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate P DRE Bathurst P an additional Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of an additional Mineral Resource. metallogenic map O 1:250,000 2.
