     b) A pHFOX value at least one unit below pHF may indicate a potential ASS. The
        great the difference between the two measurements, the more indicative the
        value is of a potential ASS. The lower the final pHFOX value the better the
        indication of a positive result.

     c) If the pHFOX is less than 3, and the other two conditions apply, then it strongly
        indicates a potential ASS. The more the pHFOX drops below 3, the more positive
        the presence of sulfides.

In broad summary, several of the ‘natural’ soil samples tested did show an indication
of ASS presence between 1.5m and 2.5m. The results of the screening tests were used
to assist in the selection of samples for more detailed, quantitative laboratory testing.

Chromium Suite Analysis

Chromium suite analysis was undertaken to quantify existing soil acidity and potential
future acid generation from possible ASS. A summary of results is given in Table 2.

Summary

On the basis of the testing undertaken, samples between 1.5m and 2.5m below
ground level provided nett acidity values above the QASSIT defined action criteria.
Therefore, some of the soils disturbed on-site should be treated in accordance with
the attached Acid Sulfate Soil Management Plan.

The results of the laboratory testing are appended to this report.
