Accordingly, these statements are subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies associated with the mining industry which may be beyond the control of Aeris which could cause actual results or trends to differ materially, including but not limited to price and currency fluctuations, geotechnical factors, drilling and production results, development progress, operating results, reserve estimates, legislative, fiscal and regulatory developments, economic and financial markets conditions in various countries, approvals and cost estimates, environmental risks, ability to meet funding requirements, share price volatility. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such statements and projections will be realised. Aeris makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of any such statement of projections or that any forecasts will be achieved.

Additionally, Aeris makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, in relation to, and no responsibility or liability (whether for negligence, under statute or otherwise) is or will be accepted by Aeris or by any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, employees, or advisers as to or in relation to the accuracy or completeness of the information, statements, opinions or matters (express or implied) arising out of, contained in or derived from this presentation or any omission from this presentation or of any other written or oral information or opinions provided now or in the future to any interested party or its advisers.

Compliance statements

==> picture [147 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

Tritton Copper Operations Production Targets Cautionary Statement

The presentation includes references to a Production Plan (Production Targets) for the Company’s Tritton Copper Operations. The Production Targets referred to in this presentation are based on:

  • Proved Ore Reserve 20%

  • Probable Ore Reserve 58%

  • Indicated Mineral Resource 22%

The modifying factors used in the estimation of the Ore Reserve were also applied to the Mineral Resources in the generation of the Production Target.

The Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates underpinning the Production Targets were prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the JORC Code 2012, with the exception of the Indicated Mineral Resource estimate for the Budgery Deposit. The Indicated Mineral Resource estimate for the Budgery Deposit has been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the JORC Code 2004 and has not been updated to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.

Cracow to Life of Mine Cautionary Statement

The Aeris FY21 to FY22 Cracow Life of Mine ( LOM ) plan is a Production Target that contains 68% Ore Reserve, 22% Inferred Mineral Resource and 10% Exploration Target (weighted by ounces). The Inferred Mineral Resource and Exploration Target material are associated with mineralised structures that contain Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource and represent the sparsely drilled sections of each mineralised structure. Intrinsically, the lower confidence Inferred Mineral Resource and Exploration Target material does imply a higher risk of conversion to Ore Reserve. However, the Cracow Goldfield has been in continuous production from 2004 during which time has a proven history of converting Inferred Mineral Resource and Exploration Target material to Ore Reserve.

Cracow – a prolific goldfield – Aeris re-invigorating exploration

==> picture [147 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

  • Strong history of replenishing reserves and resources - remains a key focus for Aeris

  • Cracow has produced more than 1.4 Moz of gold over its life since first production in 2004

  • Depletion consistently replaced with a 3 to 5 year mine life maintained (when Evolution acquired the mine in 2011, the projected mine life at the time was 5 years)

  • Explore aggressively – near mine underground targets, potential open pits and greenfields exploration

Tritton Life of Mine Plan (LOM) 4 year LOM with multiple options to extend

==> picture [147 x 58] intentionally omitted <==

Aggressive focus on extending mine plan from:

==> picture [343 x 213] intentionally omitted <==

  • Tritton and Murrawombie extensions

  • Developing Budgerygar via access from Tritton

  • Prioritizing higher grade Avoca Tank U/G into production

  • Potential Open Pits:

    • Murrawombie - after underground mining
    • Budgery - drilling to upgrade confidence for future production
  • Expedite Kurrajong (Exploration Target of 3 – 4 Mt @ 1.5% – 2% Cu) drilling to Mineral Resource status and concept study

The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and is therefore an approximation. There has been insufficient exploration drilling to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource. With additional drilling there is potential to increase the size of the Exploration Target and define a higher grade (+2% copper).

  • Greenfields exploration – “moving the exploration space” focused on discovering ‘Tritton-scale’ deposits (i.e. +10 Mt @ >2% Copper) in under-explored southern and northern sections of the tenement package

  • Existing copper metal inventory: • Ore Reserve: 5.7 Mt @1.5% Cu[(1)] • Mineral Resource: 17.5 Mt @ 1.5% Cu[(1)]
