Cautionary Statement: This preliminary study is an order of magnitude technical and economic study of the potential viability of Mineral Resources. It includes appropriate assessments of realistically assumed Modifying Factors (See Appendix 3) together with any other relevant operational factors that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that progress to a Pre-Feasibility Study can be reasonably justified. Further assessment and more advanced studies are required to establish that targets and conclusions will be realised. Ausgold Ltd has concluded it has reasonable basis for the forward looking 13 statements in this presentation. Further information is in Appendix 2.

Cautionary Statement: The Company advises the Scoping Study and Preliminary Study referred to in this presentation is based on lower-level technical and preliminary economic assessments, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development case at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Study will be realised. The Production Target referred to in this announcement is partly based on Inferred Mineral Resources (which is less than 5% of the Mineral Resource). There is a low level of geological confidence associated with the Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target or preliminary economic assessment will be realised. The financial assessments provided are preliminary in nature and assume US$1,250/oz gold and AUD:USD 0.75. See also Appendix 3 for further information.

Realising Emerging Opportunities
----- End of picture text -----
Gold mining in WA has survived for over 100 years because of explorers’ determination and tenacity
The Ausgold of the future will survive by embodying professionalism & the determination to succeed Adding value is enhanced by an awareness of the philosophical basis of our geologic/scientific investigation. “Remember that all models are wrong; the practical question is how wrong do they have to be not to be useful?”#

Exploration Vision and Strategy
----- End of picture text -----
Vision
-
To generate a sustainable, minimum 5 year mine life by increasing the Resource Base
-
To achieve +1Moz Resource Base
-
To realise the exploration potential of the KGP & make a new discovery
Strategic Process
-
The exploration process needs to be well planned with staged activities that meet success criteria in order to minimise expenditure & generate positive results
-
An optimum exploration portfolio balance needs to be achieved to generate & explore new targets through to resource/reserve drill outs
Strategic Plan
-
Resource / Reserve conversion
-
Understand potential of the field by realising the potential of the KGP ore deposit genesis models
-
Bring a new discovery into production

KGP Mineral Resource Estimates (2015; SRK Consultants to JORC 2012)
Notes: The Mineral Resource is reported at a lower cut-off grade of 0.50g/t gold.
The topographic surface at the KGP is at approximately 360mRL with the Mineral Resource Estimate stated to a depth of 210mRL (approximately 150 metres below land surface).

Appendix 2 – Cautionary Statement

A Scoping Study is an order of magnitude technical and economic study of the potential viability of Mineral Resources. It includes appropriate assessments of realistically assumed Modifying Factors together with any other relevant operational factors that are necessary to demonstrate at the time of reporting that progress to a Pre-Feasibility Study can be reasonably justified. Further assessment and more advanced studies are required to establish that targets and conclusions will be realised. Ausgold Ltd has concluded it has reasonable basis for the forward looking statements in this report.
This presentation has been prepared in compliance with JORC Code 2012 Edition and the ASX Listing Rules. All material assumptions on which on which the forecast financial information is based have been included.
The Preliminary Study (as part of a Scoping Study) referred to in this presentation is based on low-level technical and preliminary studies, and is insufficient to support estimation of Ore Reserves or to provide assurance of an economic development at this stage, or to provide certainty that the conclusions of the Preliminary Study will be realised. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources (which comprise less than 5% of the Jinkas and Dingo Mineral Resource within selected Whittle pit shells) or that the production targets will be achieved and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in conversion to Indicated Mineral Resource.
This presentation may include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risk, uncertainties and assumptions that are outside the control of Ausgold Limited. Actual values, results or events may be materially different to those expressed or implied in this presentation. Given these uncertainties, recipients are cautioned not to place reliance on forward-looking statements.
Subject to any continuing obligations under the applicable law and ASX Listing Rules, Ausgold Limited does not undertake any obligation to update or revise any information or any of the forward-looking statements in this document of any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such forward-looking statement is based.
