JAURDI GOLD PROJECT

Production Update
Gold production is on track to exceed guidance for the December 2021 quarter with 5,338 oz’s produced for the 2 months.
Optimisation of the Jaurdi Plant continues with 67,396 dmt milled in October and a record throughput of 70,332 dmt was achieved in November. These throughput improvements relate to a higher percentage of low‐grade Lost Dog silcrete in the blend and a reduction in the sag mill feed size.
