The Broads Dam
Project comprises a package of tenements along the
prolific Zuleika Shear which hosts several high-grade,
multi-million ounce deposits with an endowment exceeding six
million ounces.
Phoenix's Project hosts estimated Mineral
Resources totalling approximately 377,000
ounces of gold with excellent potential for significant
increases. Most drilling conducted to date is only very
shallow (<100m), however, the known deposits along the
Zuleika all persist to far greater depths hence the potential for
additional mineralisation to be identified at depth and along
strike at Broads Dam is considered very good. Despite this
potential, Phoenix's inital drilling in 2011 is the first
exploration conducted in many years.

The Kunanalling Project straddles
the Kunanalling Shear Zone, a prominent regional-scale structure,
analogous to the Zuleika Shear, with documented gold occurrences
along its entire length. Within the project area there are
estimated Mineral Resources totalling
approximately 245,000 ounces of gold.
Phoenix is exploring the Kunanalling Shear
where historical mining activity and exploration results
suggest the project area is highly prospective. This has been
clearly deomonstrated by Phoenix's success at the Catherwood,
Rayjax and Telegraph deposits.

The Ora Banda-Grants Patch Project
comprises two groups of tenements centred on the highly endowed
historical mining centres of Ora Banda and Grants Patch. Past
production from both within and immediately surrounding the project
area totals over 1 million oz of gold and within the project area
there are estimated Mineral Resources totalling
approximately 397,000 ounces of gold.
Previous explorers have recognised six styles of mineralisation
occurring in the project area which can be readily translated into
targets based on lithostructural interpretation of aeromagnetic
imagery. Most of these target areas have been subjected to shallow
first-pass drilling, however the project area is mostly covered by
alluvial sheetwash and deep weathering rendering shallow drilling
an ineffective test of these target areas.
This latent potential has been demonstrated at the
Backflip prospect where follow-up drilling has
produced high-grade gold intercepts beneath approximately 30m of
cover. In fact, recent drilling and re-evaluation has defined a
maiden resource of 1.5 million tonnes at 2.5g/t for 93,000
ounces for the Backflip deposit.

The Carbine-Zuleika
Project along strike from the Broads Dam Project
hosts an estimated Mineral Resources totalling
approximately 141,000 ounces of gold at the Lady
Jane and Carbine North prospects.
The project area has been subjected to very little exploration in
recent times, with most drilling conducted to very shallow depths
(<100m). However, the known deposits along the Zuleika all
persist to far greater depths hence the potential for additional
mineralisation to be identified at depth and along strike at Broads
Dam is considered very good.
