Forward looking statement

  • These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or “the Company”) include forward looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.

  • Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.

  • Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control.

  • Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

  1. Lost-time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) is the frequency of injures involving one or more lost work days per million hours worked. Results are based on a 12-month moving average

  2. Total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) is the frequency of total recordable injuries per million hours worked

  3. Gold equivalent is defined as gold plus payable silver from the A39 deposit at Mt Carlton

  4. AISC (All-in sustaining cost) includes C1 cash cost, plus royalty expense, sustaining capital expense, general corporate and administration. Calculated on per ounce produced basis 5. Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the June quarter 2015 of US$0.779

Discovery

==> picture [110 x 67] intentionally omitted <==

Discovery highlights

==> picture [117 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Acquisition of Puhipuhi epithermal project in New Zealand

  • Successful resource definition drilling of deeper resources at Edna May and outside of current Ore Reserves at Cowal (Regal and Galway)

  • Drilling guided by 3D seismic has extended mineralisation >1,000m at Pajingo (Camembert)

  • Gold and copper discovery at Mauretania, Tennant Creek – JV with Emmerson Resources

  • Takeover bid for Phoenix Gold – strong strategic rationale following the acquisition of the Mungari operations in close proximity to Phoenix

FY16 priorities

==> picture [117 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

  • Exploration expenditure commitment of A$25 – 30 million

  • Focus on new projects at Cowal, Mungari and Puhipuhi

 Continued drilling to better define Camembert discovery at Pajingo

  • Follow up drilling at Mauretania, Tennant Creek JV

  • Build balanced project pipeline through both organic growth and M&A

Act like an owner

==> picture [117 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

Protecting the environment (Mt Carlton)

Darryl, Justin and Chris worked with the processing and mining departments until 1am to implement a strategy to transfer the raw effluent from the old sewage treatment plant to the new sewage treatment plant to ensure there was no chance of a spill

==> picture [184 x 139] intentionally omitted <==

Support each other (Edna May) Vaughan, our Gold Room Operator, regularly demonstrates his willingness to help out for the greater good, including shovelling eight tonnes of carbon by himself to rectify a process interruption he was not responsible for and willingly leaving his new role to help out in his old position when an urgent need arose

==> picture [291 x 139] intentionally omitted <==

Showing pride and commitment to engage community (Mt Rawdon)

Paul, Jessica and Georga (Fixed Maintenance Plant), worked in their lunch breaks and out of hours to develop an interactive display as part of the Gin Gin show. Their efforts helped promote the great work of Mt Rawdon and build greater engagement with local community members

Reducing stoppage time by re-engineering broken bolts (Mt Rawdon) Eugene, our Maintenance Supervisor, reduced stoppage time in the processing plant by up to 20 hours (equivalent to ~A$300,000) by using an innovative way to fix broken bolts on a critical piece of equipment

==> picture [176 x 138] intentionally omitted <==

Accessing additional ounces (Pajingo)

Shane, Tony and Max identified an opportunity to explore new ways to safely and economically access the potential ounces in an area previously thought to be uneconomic, generating revenue of ~A$1 million by mining an additional +950 ounces that were not in the original mine plan
