INTERVIEW WITH MR. GARY SCANLON, MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER OF CASTLEMAINE GOLDFIELDS LIMITED (CGT)
“Formation of Joint Venture for Tarnagulla Project”

BRR Good afternoon and welcome to Boadroom Radio. Today, were speaking with Mr. Gary Scanlan, managing director and chief executive officer of
10 Castlemaine Goldfields Thanks for joining us today, Gary.
CGT Thanks again, it's always good to talk to you.
BRR Gary, we see you've announced some fantastic news with the joint venture being entered into for your Tarnagulla Project. Do you want to give our
15 listeners an update and some details of this.
CGT Yes, we're very pleased and happy to do so. We've said for some time now that our purpose is on the Castlemaine field and we've indeed been doing just that. We do have 12 major projects, major historical producing fields, one of which is Tanaguila and this joint venture agreement will enable another party
20 to come in and sole fund expenditure. It will be great for the Tarnagulla field to have already dedicated exploration program where they are going to attack the potential of this Tarnagulla field while we continue to give our full and total focus to Castlemaine. So I think it's a very good deal for both parties. We believe in the enormous potential of the Tarnagulla field and we think this joint
25 venture and the terms of the joint venture may go a long way to evidencing the potential and the value, you know, that's attributed to this Tarnagulla field. As we've announced today under the terms of the farm-in, a new joint venture partner has to spend $2 million before they have any interests and upon their perfecting a $2 million spend, they've got themselves a 20% interest in the
30 Tarnagulla Project. They then have the right to spend a total of $5.8 million that will earn them a 75% interest in the project. At that point in time, we have the right to sell them the remaining 25% for all the agreed sum of $3 million or alternately, their option we can induce to come back in and farm their 25% of the ongoing activities. So you can see from those numbers that you're looking
35 at a figure of nearly $9 million being attributed to the Tarnagulla Project from the joint venture terms. In addition to that, we have acquired under the joint venture agreement a royalty, a typical sort of a smelter and net smelter return royalty. The agreement actually provides that we could set up royalty right back for the sum of half a million dollars. So, you know, one of the noteworthy
40 aspects of this agreement is that you add all these numbers up, you've got to figure a circuit of $10 million of value being attributed to this Tarnagulla Project which is in stark contrast to the market capitalization of Castlemaine Goldfields, you know, which is less than twice that figure so that it just points to the (inaudible) (00:03:21) market of a very undervalued nature of the
45 Castlemaine share price but, you know, this is a fairly good deal because we will see a very active exploration program on this project that we're taking a significant interest in. We want to see the field explored, we do believe in its potential but as we've been saying for some time now, we have to focus all of our attention on Castlemaine. It's the field with truly the multimillion dollars potential. We're a long way to evidencing this potential, we released an inferred resource just packing in 686,000 ounces just from the Chewton Deposit and drilling up and down the major northwest, north-south hurdle of the Castlemaine field has already shown up targets of (inaudible)(00:04:18)
5 northern part of the field and country drilling with one rig at this point in time south of Chewton Wattle Gully and that drilling there as we made an announcement only very recently, is evidenced by the continuation of the Wattle Gully structure and we're drilling now on the adjacent Chewton decline targeting the symmetry reef of gold, again at about a step out of a kilometer
10 (inaudible) (00:04:43) nearly south of the old Wattle Gully site. So there's potential in the Castlemaine field which is just enormous. It is an underexplored, underdeveloped major gold field, and while it’s getting our full attention but now with this joint venture agreement in the meantime, we can ensure that the Tarnagulla field equally gets a very active exploration
15 program. So, I think, it's a win-win in terms of both joint venture partners and gives them evidencing the value of one of our own, I'll say lesser in its own extent but the Tarnagulla Project is a valuable asset of Castlemaine evidenced by this agreement and (inaudible) (00:05:32) make reference to the inherent value of the Castlemaine field.
