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.

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:

  • Tritton and Murrawombie

  • Developing Budgerygar via access from Tritton

  • Prioritizing higher grade Avoca Tank U/G into production

  • Open Pits:

  • Murrawombie - after underground mining

    • Budgery - drilling to upgrade confidence for future production
  • Commence phase 2 drilling program at recently discovered Constellation deposit

  • Expedite Kurrajong (Exploration Target of 3 – 4 Mt @ 1.5% – 2% Cu) drilling to Mineral Resource status and concept study

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

  • 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).

  • Focus on technology to further enhance LOM opportunities

Existing copper metal inventory:

  • Ore Reserve: 5.7 Mt @1.5% Cu[(1)]

  • • Mineral Resource: 17.5 Mt @ 1.5% Cu[(1)]
