Disclaimer & Competent Persons Statement

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT – FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This announcement may contain certain “forward-looking statements” which may not have been based solely on historical facts, but rather may be based on the Company’s current expectations about future events and results. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation of belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. The detailed reasons for that conclusion are outlined throughout this announcement and all Material Assumptions are disclosed.

However, forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to resource risk, metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, as well as governmental regulation and judicial outcomes.

For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see the Company’s Annual Reports, as well as the Company’s other filings. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward looking information. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any “forward looking statement” to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this announcement, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws.

The Company has concluded it has a reasonable basis for providing the forward looking statements that relate to the Bibra Feasibility Study that are included in this presentation, the details of this study are outlined in an ASX announcement dated 23 October 2017, which has bee prepared in accordance with the JORC code (2012) and ASX Listing Rules.

Notes on the November 2017 Mineral Resource Estimate:

  • Discrepancy in summation may occur due to rounding.

  • The mineralisation has been wireframe modelled using a 0.3g/t Au assay cutoff grade. The Mineral Resource estimate has been reported above a block grade of 0.5g/t Au.

  • The Mineral Resource has been constrained by a A$1750/ounce optimised pit shell.

  • Ordinary kriging was used for grade estimation utilising Surpac software v6.6.2.

  • Grade estimation was constrained to blocks within each of the mineralised wireframes.

  • See ASX announcements dated 4[th] July 2016 and 10[th] April 2017 for previous resource announcements.

  • See ASX announcement dated 7[th] August 2017 for previous Ore Reserve announcement.

Drilling Techniques

In total 143,943 metres of drilling has been completed within the constraints of the Bibra resource consisting of 85 diamond holes (12,211m/9%) and 880 Reverse Circulation drillholes (131,732m/91%).The drilling database consists of good quality RC and diamond drillholes with holes drilled at approximate spacings of 25m x 25m in the measured category area, 25m x 50m in the indicated category area and 50m x 50m to 100m x 100m in the inferred category area. Deeper holes and wider spaced drilling targeting along strike, downdip and down plunge extensions of the Bibra mineralisation has also been completed outside of the classified resource area and included in the model. However, currently this material remains unclassified/not reported and is target for future resource development drilling.
