BRONZEWING ACQUISITION

==> picture [291 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Completed September 2009 for A$9.55 million + A$6.45 million environmental bonds

  • Starting 5 year open pit mine plan comprising 9.27Mt @ 1.8g/t 490,000oz recovered gold

  • Acquired infrastructure with replacement value of +A$200 million

  • Acquisition cost A$14/Resource ounce and A$20/Reserve ounce

  • Project fast-tracked back into production, with first gold poured in April 2010

BRONZEWING MINE PLAN

==> picture [269 x 10] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ore mined from 5 open pits in current mine plan

  • Main ore source is Cockburn Pit, which has already been mined to approximately 140m depth

  • Access to deeper ore requires a series of sequential waste cutbacks

  • Waste cutbacks will be funded from cashflow

  • Ultimate pit depth 250m

  • Total project operating costs are therefore higher in early years as waste cutbacks are completed
