Following a detailed review of previous exploration data, the Company believes that external to the Tampakan deposit, the Tampakan FTAA is significantly under-explored and has outstanding potential for the discovery of copper-gold mineralisation, including direct Tampakan analogues. There is also scope for the discovery of discrete vein and stockwork precious metal (gold-silver) mineralisation as evidenced by the existence of gold mineralised epithermal veins that have been identified to the immediate north of the main deposit. These prospects include:

Bukay El:
Mineralisation and alteration in stream outcrops. Anomalous Cu-Au-As-Mo-Pb in stream sediment samples. Instersection NNE and WNW faults with circular features.

Camp 5 East:
Located approximately 1.1km NNE of the northernmost drilling traverse on the Tampakan deposit, exploration drilling at this prospect by the previous owner intersected 157.65m at 0.52g/t Au and 0.41% Cu from 92.25m, including 76.2m at 0.69g/t Au and 0.75% Cu from 162.9m in drillhole TMPD57. Further exploration activity by Indophil in 2003 including geological mapping, rock chip sampling, infill soil sampling and 9 line km of 80m dipole-dipole induced polarization (IP) surveys helped to refine geological interpretation and follow-up drilling targets.

Silway :
At this prospect located 4 km southeast of the Tampakan deposit, outcrops of silica-clay alteration containing visible bornite (copper mineralisation) have been observed in stream outcrops. Previous exploration defined an extensive IP geophysical anomaly that has been tested by a single drillhole (TMDP93) which intersected 380m of silica and silica-clay alteration. This alteration is similar in style to the alteration that is spatially associated with the Tampakan deposit. This hole intersected anomalous copper (0.1-0.2%Cu) between 193 and 355m, reflecting encouraging potential for this prospect area.
