New Resource Models and Estimate

  • 17.0 Mt @ 4.4% Zn & 1.3% Cu

  • 740 kt Zn & 200 kt Cu[1 ]

  • Target Production

  • 1 Mtpa to produce 32 ktpa Zn & 17 ktpa Cu[2,3 ]

  • LoM 420 kt Zinc & 170 kt Copper

  • Reduced risk profile & improved operability Attractive financial metrics:

Pre-production CAPEX A$231M

  • 1 Sulphur Springs plus Kangaroo Caves - ASX Releases 22 September 2015 and 11 May 2016

2The LoM schedule is derived from a mining inventory of which 53% is Indicated Resources and 47% is Inferred Resources, the LoM mining inventory does not constitute an Ore Reserve. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with 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 itself will be realised.

Maximum Cash Drawdown A$271MC1 Zinc cost of US$0.02 per pound[4 ] +11 year Life

Notes:

1The percentage of the mining inventory that is made up of Indicated Resources has increased to 57% with 47% being Inferred Resources and does not constitute an Ore Reserve. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the full mining inventory will be realised.

2Supergene and oxide have assumed to be dumped onto a heap leach pad and leached and extracted using an SX/EW plant

  • 3No metallurgical test work has been carried out on the supergene material and treatment route and recovery is based on assessment of the minerals present
