NOTE ON MEEKATHARRA MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES
The acquisition of Meekatharra was completed on 27th June 2014. Mineral Resources Estimates were released by the previous owner under JORC 2004. Metals X has not has sufficient time to complete a full review or estimate of these Mineral Resources Estimates, however, they are material and it would be misleading for Metals X not to provide some guidance on them as they form a significant part of the CMGP. Metals X has reviewed these in this context and has no reason to believe they will not be quotable under JORC 2012 in the fullness of time, but does conclude it is not in a position to quote them under JORC 2012 at this time. Hence, Metals X provides in Appendix 5 these estimates a previously announced by Reed Resources Ltd..
