PMR - Overview
•
Stonewall has since Q2 2014 discovered a significant new, pre-explored, pre-developed, pre-drilled, pre-blasted
exploration target known as the PMR Project.
•
Stonewall plans to commence production of the PMR Project in a phased approach, subject to funding and
successful bulk trial mining. Progression from one phase to the next will only occur once the target gold production
is consistently reached. The phases are as follows:
•
Phase 1: Trial phase targeting 10,000tpm starting January 2015, as previously announced.
•
Phase 2: Trial mining phase targeting an increase in mining to 30,000tpm to commence in March 2015, as
previously announced.
•
Phase 3: Scalable mining to commence by December 2015 or sooner subject to resource confirmation, LOM
extension, planning , concept study completion and capital. (Present plant capacity 80 000tpm mined)*.
* This is a strategic target only, not a forecast or projection. Refer forward looking statement on page 2.

PMR - Overview
As Announced on the 21st of November 2014 the project is expected to generate significant revenue which is attributed to:
•
Easily accessible material
•
Large quantities of material available through multiple sources (The PMR exploration target ounces range from 0.7M
– 2.4M oz (See table on page 12) A process has commenced to convert the exploration target ounces into JORC
compliant Mineral Resources.)
•
Significant upgrading through wet screening
•
Able to introduce scalable, cost effective mining
•
Low mining costs due to easily accessible oxidised material (Compared to Hard Rock Mining see page 9)
•
Proven Metallurgical process flow, plant and equipment in place
* This is a strategic target only, not a forecast or projection. Refer forward looking statement on page 2.

Industry Analysis
Conventional Hard Rock Mining vs.
Pre-Mined Residue (PMR)
Independent analysis comparing a
typical
shallow
narrow
reef
conventional mining operation and
mining Pre-mined residue that can be
extracted at 67% of conventional
mining costs.*

This is not the analysis on the company’s forecasts,
but the views of an independent competent person
based on industry analysis.
However the company has experienced similar
results in its PMR testing.

The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain
if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. Stonewall is working with the Competent Person to convert the potential
mineralisation to compliant mineral resources in accordance the definitions as stated by the Australian JORC Code for the reporting of mineral
resources and reserves. Surveying and sampling in accordance with the instructions of the Competent Person will continue and the
implementation of the Competent Person’s recommended Underground Backfill Sampling Protocol for the reef results (refer announcement dated
31 July 2013) in order to assess the possible conversion of the reef residue to a Mineral Resource is to be completed.

Shandong Qixing Iron Tower Co. Ltd
(Shandong) Aborted Transaction
Stonewall entered into a Share Sale Agreement with Shandong in November 2013 whereby Shandong agreed to acquire
Stonewall Mining (the South African subsidiary of Stonewall) for US$141M.
•
On 21 November 2014 Stonewall announced to ASX that Shandong unexpectedly advised Stonewall that it did not
intend to complete the purchase.
•
Stonewall previously announced that 6 of the 7 conditions precedent in the sale agreement had already been met.
•
Shandong’s reasoning remains unclear, however media reports have referred to possible Shandong funding issues,
and Stonewall considers that Shandong actions may have been in breach of the sale agreement.
•
Stonewall has subsequently notified Shandong that it has reserved all its rights and is now considering all available
options including taking legal action against Shandong and its officers.
•
Stonewall intends to vigorously pursue and enforce all of its rights against Shandong and, if appropriate, its officers
including potentially a claim for damages by arbitration proceedings.
