This document outlines Ducats Earthmoving Pty Ltd’s policy with respect to its Community and Landholder Liaison Program obligations.

The purpose of the Community and Landholder Liaison Program is to provide a management framework, which will assist Ducats Earthmoving Pty Ltd to identify and consult with landholders in the Licence area. Additionally, it describes the engagement approach that is used as part of the Community and Landholder Liaison Program.

The key principles of the program include:

• Responding to landholder enquiries in a timely and factual manner
• Providing information to stakeholders ahead of significant exploration activities

Ducats Earthmoving Pty Ltd endeavours to promote good relationships with landholders in a manner that will enable it to carry out its exploration activities in a responsible and effective manner, whilst respecting the needs of landholders and the local community.

One of the objectives of the Community and Landholder Liaison Program is to provide an effective means of communication with all landholders and other stakeholders.

Other objectives include recording feedback from all stakeholders and providing measures to address specific landholder enquiries. The consultation process and the means of dealing with landholder enquiries are outlined below.

Consultation Process:

• Identify location of proposed activities
