COMPANY PROFILE

Evolution Mining Limited is a leading, growth-focused Australian gold miner. The Company operates four wholly-owned Australian operations – Cracow, Edna May, Mt Rawdon and Pajingo – and is constructing the Mt Carlton development project. Evolution is forecasting production in FY2013 of between 370,000 - 410,000 ounces gold equivalent. Cash operating costs (before royalties and after by-product credits) are expected to be in the range of A\$730 - A\$790 per ounce.

Evolution has a strong balance sheet which provides the flexibility to fully fund current exploration, development and production activities and also assess value-accretive growth opportunities.

Evolution was formed in November 2011 through the merger of Catalpa Resources Limited and Conquest Mining Limited, and the concurrent purchase of Newcrest Mining Limited's interests in the Cracow and Mt Rawdon gold mines in Queensland.

2012 evolution mining ANNUAL REPORT

Australia's newest mid-tier gold producer, Evolution Mining Limited, was created on 2nd November 2011 to meet what we perceived to be the demands of the investment community, providing a mid-tier gold company with the ability to deliver operational predictability, achieve meaningful growth and with the financial capacity to fund that growth. These attributes are considered fundamental to creating a sustainable company able to deliver superior returns to its shareholders and Evolution is now one of very few companies in the Australian gold sector that can credibly claim to have these qualities.

Historically, mid-tier gold companies have outperformed both smaller (junior) and larger (major) gold companies in terms of share price performance. Numerous examples of successful mid-tier gold companies exist in the North American markets but there are few recent examples in Australia as a result of the consolidation that took place in the Australian gold sector between 1998 and 2003.

International gold companies took advantage of the weak Australian dollar and acquired a large number of promising local mid-tier gold companies.

Through the merger of Catalpa Resources Limited and Conquest Mining Limited combined with the concurrent purchase of Newcrest Mining Limited's interests in the Cracow and Mt Rawdon gold mines, we believe Evolution has created a platform to develop into a globally competitive mid-tier gold company.

the carbon tax and it also reflects the fact that FY2013 will see the commissioning ramp up of Mt Carlton, our key development project. We expect that, once commissioned, Mt Carlton will be our lowest cost mine and therefore shareholders can expect the trend of growing production and declining costs to continue into FY2014.

We recognise that dividends are an important element of total shareholder returns. In FY2012 the Board of Evolution did not resolve to pay a dividend as we continue to invest heavily in our growth projects and exploration. Capital returns will be considered in the future and I look forward to updating you on Evolution's dividend policy in FY2013.

Many resources companies are finding it challenging in the current environment to retain high-quality people in Australia. However, I am pleased to say Evolution has been able to attract a very talented group of people. Evolution offers its employees long-term career stability as well as challenging and rewarding roles within a dynamic organisation. We have successfully recruited for all key roles of the expanded leadership team at Evolution and have also turned our attention to the longer term needs of the Company, with the initiation of a graduate recruitment program. This recruitment program commenced in March 2012 and 12 graduates across a range of mining and finance disciplines will join the Evolution team by January 2013.

In the 2012 Financial Year we produced 280,401 ounces of gold (attributable), in-line with our guidance, at an average cash operating cost of A\$771 per ounce, significantly below our guidance. This is an extremely satisfying outcome in only eight months as a new company

Our strategy of developing a mid-tier gold company in Australia has won the support of major global institutional investors. We received strong support from institutional investors both locally and abroad for the entitlement offer completed in November 2011 and were fortunate to have influential fund managers, BlackRock Investment Management (UK) Limited and Baker Steel Capital Managers LLP commit to a A\$50 million investment in addition to their pro-rata entitlements. Both groups remain supportive of Evolution and have acquired additional shares since completion of the entitlement offer.

Newcrest Mining, Evolution's major shareholder, at 33%, was instrumental in developing the vision and strategy for the creation of Evolution. Importantly this support has continued post completion of the transaction and we are very fortunate to have ongoing access to the depth of experience and expertise of one of the world's leading gold companies within our major shareholder.

Our experience to date at Evolution has reinforced our conviction. In the 2012 financial year we produced 280,401 ounces of gold (attributable), which was in-line with our guidance, at an average cash operating cost of A\$771 per ounce, significantly below our guidance. This is an extremely satisfying outcome in only eight months as a new company. Financially we have been able to deliver a strong underlying profit result of A\$63.4 million while maintaining balance sheet strength.

Our Cracow and Mt Rawdon mines performed strongly, producing 102,565 and 95,403 ounces respectively in FY2012. Edna May produced 73,264 ounces and by year end we had initiated a number of changes to address plant throughput constraints and were beginning to see improvements towards the end of the year. Our Pajingo mine is a good example of how a combination of access to capital, a talented management team and a motivated workforce can reinvigorate an operation. Pajingo produced 45,889 ounces in FY2011 and an outstanding 75,747 ounces in FY2012, which we expect to improve upon in FY2013.

We strongly believe that every one of our assets is a better fit in Evolution than it was in its prior vehicle. We see significant operational and exploration upside at each of our assets. In FY2013 we expect to grow our production to 370,000 - 410,000 ounces gold equivalent (payable) at a cash cost of A\$730 - 790 per ounce. This guidance includes an estimated cost of A\$15 per ounce from the impact of

The safety of our workforce is of paramount importance and a core cultural value. I believe that all injuries are preventable. The 12 month rolling Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate of 23.5 as at 30 June 2012 was too high. We are committed to significantly improving our safety record and have embarked on a comprehensive safety regime incorporating safety leadership, training and hazard awareness throughout the Company.

The formation of Evolution and the integration of the assets have, as expected, presented many challenges. It has taken a lot of hard work, commitment and perseverance from everyone involved – employees, shareholders and Directors – and I would like to thank you all for the commitment you have shown to establishing what we believe is developing into an outstanding Australian gold company.

I remain confident about the outlook for gold as governments around the world continue to grapple with the difficulties of high public debt levels and low economic growth. The response we

are seeing in parts of Europe and the United States can only be positive for the gold price as currencies are devalued and investors seek to protect the value of their capital through exposure to assets like gold.

We are on an exciting journey and I firmly believe that Evolution is at the right place at the right time and I look forward to continuing to demonstrate this as we grow the Company. As a mid-tier gold miner, Evolution is in a sweet spot in the gold industry, with a proven management team and a strong financial position. We are developing a track-record of delivering operational predictability and also meaningful growth which we believe is a winning formula.

JaKE Klein Executive Chairman

SAFETY AND PEOPLE

Safety

Evolution is committed to building a strong and participative safety culture across all of its sites with a major focus on improving workplace safety. The Company is developing a new group-wide Health, Safety and Environment management system which includes our approach to Risk Management, Principle Hazard Control, Crisis Management and Consultation and is supported by a safety leadership program commited to improving workplace safety.

"Safety - every job, every day" is one of Evolution's core values. To support this value, Evolution has developed the following set of Safety Principles which together form the foundation of our approach to injury prevention within our organisation:

All injuries and incidents are preventable

No task is so important that it cannot be done safely

Working safely is a condition of employment

Management takes accountability for safety performance

Everyone is empowered to stop at risk behaviour and control unsafe conditions and

Everyone takes accountability for their own safety and for the safety of those around them

During the year, Evolution conducted a group-wide audit of operations which focused on emergency preparedness and response capabilities. This initiative identified a number of opportunities to enhance our processes which have been prioritised for implementation and included in FY2013 safety improvement programs.

People

As a new organisation Evolution presents an exciting proposition for employees and is attracting and retaining high calibre people in key roles across the organisation. Recruitment projects including the graduate program and the Mt Carlton Mining Operations initiative have been very competitive and successful in attracting excellent candidates. Specifically our first Graduate intake resulted in the employment of 12 exceptional candidates across various sites and the corporate office.

Evolution recognises that building internal capability and expertise is a key commitment and priority in building a successful global organisation. Role clarity and development plans are being designed and implemented for all employees and the Leadership Development Program is an exciting initiative in FY2013 next year for current and emerging leaders. Evolution believes these initiatives will contribute to a fully engaged and motivated workforce, resulting in low turnover, a high performance culture and ultimately shareholder value.

'We're all Evolution' has been a defining theme in FY2012 in terms of people, policy and process. Coming together to form one company has been exciting and challenging. Evolution has been building its employee brand and has a truly national feel, demonstrated by the opportunity taken by our people to transfer between sites and stay with Evolution.

Evolution is sensitive to the balance of policy and compliance in a culture which encourages high performance and personal judgment, fosters innovation and promotes behaviours aligned to the Values of Safety, Respect, Accountability and Excellence. Key policies have been developed across the group in Diversity, Relocation, Travel, Information Technology Use and Security, and Study Assistance.

Strategic initiatives introduced this year such as the performance management system and remuneration principles are designed to promote excellent performance and provide employees an opportunity to benefit financially in one of our short term incentive plans. Details of incentive plans are set out in the Remuneration section of this Annual Report.

At our operations, Evolution is committed to providing quality living conditions for the workforce. Provision and upgrade of site accommodation and communications have enabled employees to enjoy high quality living areas and the technology to stay connected with family and friends.

Environment and community

Environmental Responsibility

Evolution aims to achieve best practice environmental performance by using practical environmental solutions at each site, as documented in the Evolution Mining Environmental Policy. Work activities include proactive monitoring of the receiving environment, water, soil and air quality. Ongoing monthly audits ensure levels comply with government parameters and are used by environmental scientists to create detailed action plans that allow constant, sustained improvement. This diligence contributes to a high standard of reporting that ensures submissions to government are approved first time.

In the last 12 months, Evolution has submitted environmental applications and received approvals for:

• • The development of the Mt Carlton project
• • The development of the Venue/VNU gold project at Pajingo
• • The development of an underground mine at Edna May
• • Two Tailings Storage Facility wall lifts at Mt Rawdon and Cracow

A landform efficiency design plan is being implemented at Mt Rawdon that aims to reduce operational material movement and cost and to achieve rehabilitation design objectives. Environmental Management Systems in accordance with relevant international and Australian standards have been implemented at Evolution's new site, Mt Carlton, and similar strategies are being implemented and refined across other sites.

Evolution is implementing best practice innovative water management strategies across all of its sites to effectively manage operation in the wet season. These strategies are designed to prevent uncontrolled discharges during the wet season, and limit operational disruption.

Rehabilitation

Evolution is executing an ongoing strategy of progressive rehabilitation. This proactive management ensures the disturbance footprint and impact is kept to an absolute minimum. This management strategy helps reduce the ongoing effect on the receiving environment and contributes to manageable rehabilitation within the Company's quality expectations and at a reasonable cost.

This strategy is proven at Edna May, with the proactive management of the endemic shrub species Eremophila Resinosa to ensure survival during mining activity and longevity after mine closure. This is being achieved through a collaborative approach with government and the scientific community.

Community

Evolution aims to set a high standard of social performance across its sites and within the communities in which it operates. A progressive and inclusive strategy is being developed with communities and stakeholders which will become integral to the way we conduct business at each of our operations.

Each operation is currently involved in regular reporting and monitoring of grievances and incidents, community impact and levels of engagement with investment activities.

A high standard of Indigenous Relations is a priority for Evolution with the Indigenous Land Use Agreements and Cultural Heritage Management Plans and Agreements in place at Cracow, Mt Carlton and Pajingo. Cultural Heritage Management negotiations are also underway at Mt Rawdon. These Agreements involve Indigenous employment targets, traineeships, scholarships, economic development and business opportunities.

Our community and Indigenous relations activities and the relationships developed with our stakeholders continue to be developed and improved. Evolution aims to ensure a high standard of positive and proactive relationships are set and upheld across the business and its entire stakeholder community.

Cracow Operations

The Cracow mine is located 500 kilometres northwest of Brisbane, Queensland. The Cracow region has a long history of gold mining, with 850,000 ounces of gold produced from 1932 - 1992, predominantly from open-pit mining. The current underground operation commenced production in 2004. The Cracow operation has a stable production base, continually producing around 100,000 ounces per annum since 2006 and replacing annual mining depletion with new reserves. Gold mineralisation at Cracow occurs in steeply dipping, low-sulphidation epithermal fissure quartz veins.

Mining

At Cracow, underground mining is by open stope, downhole sub-level benching with waste backfill. FY2012 annual gold production of 102,565 ounces was towards the upper end of the guidance range of between 90,000 - 107,000 ounces. Cash operating costs for FY2012 were A\$678 per ounce, at the lower end of the guidance range of A\$670 - A\$740 per ounce. A total of 457,000 ore tonnes were mined from Kilkenny, Phoenix, Sovereign, Klondyke North, Royal and Roses Pride orebodies and total development for the year was 5,658 metres.

A number of initiatives commenced to improve mine productivity levels including the upgrade of the primary ventilation system to re-establish access to the lower KiIkenny orebody and the addition of resources to the mining fleet.

Milling

A total of 527,000 tonnes were treated at an average grade of 6.47g/t gold and a 93.5% recovery rate for the year. A throughput capacity of 550,000 tonnes per annum is expected to be achieved during FY2013.

Outlook

Gold production for FY2013 has been forecast at between 90,000 - 100,000 ounces at a cash operating cost of between A\$780 - A\$820 per ounce.

Mt Rawdon Operations

The Mt Rawdon gold mine is located 75 kilometres southwest of Bundaberg, Queensland. The mine has been in production since 2001 and has a current forecast mine life of 10 years. The process plant has a design capacity of 3.5 million tonnes per annum and produces a goldsilver doré.

Mining

Mine production is derived from a single open pit, utilising conventional drill and blast, load and haul methodologies. These functions are undertaken by separate contractors with management by Evolution staff. The operation is scheduled to continue until FY2023 at current estimates with a low life-of-mine strip ratio of approximately 2:1.

Gold production in FY2012 totalled 95,403 ounces at an average cash cost of A\$684 per ounce. Gold production was within the guidance range of between 90,000 and 105,000 ounces

and well below cash cost guidance of A\$760 per ounce. This included a record quarter production in June of 32,734 ounces due to positive grade reconciliations. Total ore tonnes mined were 3,976,000 tonnes at 0.90g/t gold and total waste movement was 13,634,000 tonnes.

Milling

A total of 3,434,000 tonnes were treated at an average grade of 0.95g/t gold and a 91.0% recovery rate for the year.

Outlook

Gold production for FY2013 has been forecast at between 95,000 - 110,000 ounces at average cash operating costs of between A\$600 - A\$660 per ounce.

The Cracow operation has a stable production base, continually producing around 100,000 ounces per annum since 2006 and replacing annual mining depletion with new reserves

review of operations

Pajingo Operations

The Pajingo mine is located 50 kilometres south of Charters Towers, north Queensland. Production commenced at Pajingo in 1986. Ore is mined from both underground and open pits and then processed on site to produce a gold-silver doré. The processing plant is currently operating at 350,000 - 450,000 tonnes per annum due to mine constraints but has a design capacity of 650,000 tonnes per annum.

Pajingo is a low sulphidation epithermal field hosted in structurally controlled quartz veins located mainly in the Vera-Nancy corridor. The average width of the mineralised structures is 1 - 3 metres.

Mining

Underground mining is based on longhole open stoping with ore hauled to surface via decline. Open pit mining is by conventional drill and blast, load and haul methodology.

An impressive turnaround was achieved at Pajingo in FY2012. Gold production of 75,747 ounces for FY2012 was well above guidance of 70,000 ounces, and represented a 165% increase on FY2011 production of 45,889 ounces. Cash operating costs for FY2012 were A\$780 per ounce, well below guidance of A\$867 per ounce. This is an excellent outcome and a direct result of the re-tooling and capital investment programs implemented by Evolution to improve Pajingo's long-term sustainable performance.

Total underground ore mined in FY2012 was 304,000 tonnes at 7.84g/t gold, sourced primarily from Jandam, Bell Vein, Zed West, Faith and Sonia orebodies. Total development for the year was 5,405 metres. Open pit ore production in FY2012 was 193,000 tonnes at a grade of 2.72g/t gold sourced from Janet A open pit.

Milling

A total of 487,000 tonnes were treated at an average grade of 5.08 g/t gold and a 96.2% recovery rate for the year. Plant throughput increased by around 70% compared to FY2011 (100% Conquest Mining) due to an increase in mill feed.

Outlook

Gold production for FY2013 has been forecast at between 85,000 - 90,000 ounces at a cash operating cost of between A\$730 - A\$780 per ounce. This will be achieved by accessing high-grade production in Sonia and mining the Venue and VNU open-pits.

An impressive turnaround was achieved at Pajingo with FY2012 production above guidance and cash operating costs well below guidance

Edna May Operations

The Edna May gold mine is located 350 kilometres east of Perth, Western Australia. The mine was first operated in the 1950s and has had three historical periods of mining. The current single pit operation commenced gold production in April 2010. The process plant has a throughput capacity of 2.6 million tonnes per annum and is a conventional crushing, grinding, carbon-inleach circuit producing gold doré. The Edna May gold mineralisation consists of high-grade reef structures and associated stockwork veining hosted within three enechelon tonalitic gneiss intrusions (Edna May, Greenfinch and Golden Point).

Mining

Open pit mining is by conventional drill and blast, load and haul method. A bulk mining approach has been adopted to the extraction of remnant high-grade reef structures and associated stockwork mineralisation with a life-of-mine strip ratio of 3:1.

Gold production in FY2012 totalled 73,265 ounces, an 11.7% increase on FY2011 production; however, it was below the FY2012 guidance of between 85,000 - 93,000 ounces predominantly as a result of poor plant reliability. Cash operating costs of A\$949 per ounce were in-line with guidance of between A\$890 to A\$990 per ounce. Total ore tonnes mined were 2,666,000 tonnes at 1.07g/t gold and total waste movement was 5,470,000 tonnes. Initiatives to improve plant reliability, commenced in the June half, are expected to positively impact production performance in FY2013.

Milling

A total of 2,373,000 tonnes were treated at an average grade of 1.07g/t gold and an 89.4% recovery rate for the year. Improvements to plant reliability will continue through FY2013 with a steady-state capacity of 2.6 million tonnes per annum expected.

Outlook

Gold production for FY2013 has been forecast at between 75,000 - 80,000 ounces at cash operating costs of between A\$840 to A\$890 per ounce with cost reductions to be achieved by improvements to plant reliability.

Construction activities at Mt Carlton

DEVELOPMENT Mt Carlton Gold-Silver-Copper Project

The Mt Carlton Gold-Silver-Copper Project is Evolution's key organic growth asset and is located 150 kilometres south of Townsville, Queensland. Construction of the 800,000 tonne per annum plant commenced in December 2011 and is on schedule for commissioning in December 2012 with capital expenditure anticipated between A\$170 - A\$180 million.

Mt Carlton is a high-sulphidation epithermal style deposit with mineralisation occurring within felsic volcanic rocks on the northern margin of the Permian Bowen Basin. The Mt Carlton deposit comprises two discrete zones: the large dominant V2 deposit and the smaller, silver rich A39 zone, discovered in 2006.

Open pit mining operations have adopted a conventional excavator and haul truck operation. Processing will be by conventional crushing, grinding and flotation to produce a polymetallic concentrate. Life-of-mine off-take agreements for the sale of gold-silver-copper concentrate from the V2 deposit (Shandong Guoda Gold Co. Limited) and silver-copper concentrates from the A39 deposit (Humon Smelting Co. Limited) are in place.

Since the mining lease was granted in December 2011, the project development has advanced with construction approximately 50% complete as at 30 June 2012.

Mining commenced in both V2 and A39 stage-one pits and the majority of the mining fleet has been mobilised to site and the mine is on track to deliver commissioning ore to the processing plant in December 2012.

Expenditure committed on project development to the end of June 2012 was approximately A\$85 million. Evolution forecasts Mt Carlton to contribute 25,000 - 30,000 gold equivalent ounces in FY2013 as the project ramps up to full production.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

FY2013 OUTLOOK

Evolution is forecasting increased production in FY2013 of between 370,000 - 410,000 ounces gold equivalent as a result of the commencement of production from Mt Carlton and continued improvements at Pajingo. Cash operating costs (before royalties and after by-product credits) are expected to be in the range of A\$730 to A\$790 per ounce which is below the range provided for FY2012. Included in these costs is an allowance for the carbon tax which is expected to add about A\$15 per ounce to group cash operating costs in FY2013.

A mine-by-mine breakdown of the production forecasts is provided in the table below. Guidance FY2013	Gol d Equivalent Pro duction (ounces )	Cas h Operating Costs (A\$/ounce )
Cracow	90,000 – 100,000	780 – 820
Pajingo	85,000 – 90,000	730 – 780
Mt Rawdon	95,000 – 110,000	600 – 660
Edna May	75,000 – 80,000	840 – 890
Mt Carlton	25,000 – 30,000	790 – 860
Group	370,000 – 410,000	730 – 790

Mt Carlton will produce two distinct concentrates in FY2013, a gold-silver-copper concentrate from the V2 deposit and a silver-copper concentrate from the A39 deposit. The majority of FY2013 production is expected to come from the high-grade, silver-rich A39 deposit. The production guidance provided in the table above refers to payable metal (i.e. after smelter deductions) and converts A39 silver production to a gold equivalent figure (on the basis of a commodity price ratio of A\$1,500 per ounce for gold and A\$28 per ounce for silver). At the V2 deposit, silver and copper production is accounted for as a by-product (i.e. silver and copper revenue is offset against operating costs). Similarly at the A39 deposit, copper production is accounted for as a by-product. Mt Carlton is forecast to produce approximately 9,250 wet metric tonnes ("wmt") of concentrate from the V2 deposit, containing 13,000 - 14,000 ounces of gold and 200,000 - 250,000 ounces of silver, and approximately 13,000wmt of concentrate from the A39 deposit, containing 1,250,000 - 1,350,000 ounces of silver, in FY2013. Expected metal production from Mt Carlton therefore equates to 40,000 - 45,000 ounces gold equivalent in concentrate. Evolution has previously provided guidance for Mt Carlton on the basis of metal contained in concentrate (rather than payable metal) and on this basis FY2013 Group production guidance would be 385,000 – 425,000 ounces gold equivalent.

Mt Carlton FY2013 cash operating costs will be impacted by a high proportion of production from the A39 deposit and costs associated with the ramp-up in production rate. In FY2013 the milled grade at the A39 deposit is expected to average 240g/t silver and have a cash operating cost of A\$20 per ounce silver payable. The position improves significantly in FY2014 when a larger proportion of V2 ore is processed and Mt Carlton cash operating costs are forecast to fall below A\$500 per ounce gold equivalent payable which will substantially lessen Evolution's average Group cash costs.

Cracow, Pajingo, Mt Rawdon and Edna May guidance, as shown in the table above, refers only to gold production (i.e. silver production has not been included as a gold equivalent co-product but accounted for as a by-product).

DISCOVERY

Evolution is committed to growth through discovery and believes significant value can be realised within its extensive and highly prospective exploration portfolio in Queensland and Western Australia. The Company's FY2012 exploration strategy focused on sustaining current mining operations and delivering transformational growth.

Discovery expenditure of A\$18.5 million was incurred during FY2012, particularly as a result of the accelerated drilling programs at Pajingo, Cracow and Mt Carlton. More than 60% of the budget was applied to drilling, with a total of 86,961 metres completed during the year with a focused and effective approach for targeting and drilling exploration areas. Exploration activities targeting new discoveries included the systematic economic review, ranking and drilling of prospects within the Company's 6,800 square kilometre portfolio of tenements across Australia.

The objective for FY2013 is to continue delivering sustainable and transformational growth through the progression of targets in the Company's project pipeline. Evolution's Board has approved a A\$28 million budget for Discovery in FY2013 which can readily be expanded to

fund the drill out of discoveries or any high quality project acquisitions made during the year.

In addition to the new Coronation discovery at Cracow, the Company has made encouraging intersections at Greenfinch and Perrins at Edna May and at Mt Carlton and Pajingo in Queensland. Recognising the significant impact that a major discovery can have on the Company's value, exploration activities will continue to focus on drilling the Company's highest priority exploration targets in FY2013 to deliver operational sustainability and transformational growth.

The Discovery team continues to review advanced exploration projects and project development opportunities in Australia and South East Asia with the potential to improve the current portfolio of assets.

DISCOVERY

Cracow, Queensland Coronation

Surface drilling continued at the Coronation discovery announced at the end of the March quarter 2012, with a focus on defining the extents of the new zone of mineralisation. Further drilling will be undertaken from underground positions during FY2013 with the aim of upgrading the target to an Inferred Resource by the end of FY2013. The Coronation shoot is located approximately 550 metres below surface and 250 metres north of active mining operations, underscoring the potential significance of the find which remains open along strike.

Cracow South

A 27 square kilometre gradient array survey was undertaken with the aim of identifying resistive and chargeable mineralisation south of the Cracow Gold Field. Geological mapping of this area was also undertaken to help define potential drill targets. Interpretation of the mapping and gradient array data has been completed and it is anticipated that a number of prospective targets generated from this work will be drill tested in FY2013.

Edna May, Western Australia Edna May Underground

A revision of the Edna May Underground Mineral Resource was completed during the year and resulted in a 70% increase to 1.2Mt at 7.0g/t gold for 270,000 ounces of which 50% is classified as Indicated Mineral Resource (refer to page 20 of this Annual Report). The upgrade in Mineral Resource confidence was enabled through recent infill and extensional diamond drilling completed during 2011 for a total of 19 diamond holes for 10,303 metres.

The underground Mineral Resource has only been defined to a depth of 550 metres below surface and remains open both at depth and along strike. Infill drilling to date has prioritised the upgrade of Inferred Resources close to the existing decline, beneath the open pit operation.

Greenfinch

Diamond and reverse circulation drilling completed at Greenfinch targeting extensions to high-grade gold mineralisation successfully extended gold mineralisation down-dip a further 150 metres. Additional drilling is planned and an updated resource estimate is targeted in the second half of FY2013. Drilling during the year included nine diamond drill holes for 3,762 metres and 24 RC holes for 5,970 metres drilled. Significant diamond intersections included 1.26 metres grading 93.27g/t gold from 249.73 metres and 6.76 metres grading 11.47g/t gold from 167 metres.

Perrins

Perrins is located within close proximity (6 kilometres) to the Edna May gold operations. Drilling during the year was aimed at delineating a near surface oxide resource. A total of 27 vertical RC holes were drilled for 1,510 metres. Gold mineralisation was intersected in several holes hosted by a gneissic rock within 45 metres of surface.

Significant intercepts included 8.0m grading 10.87g/t gold from 23 metres.

Further drilling is planned at Perrins to test continuity of the primary mineralisation to determine potential for high grade mill feed.

Holleton

As part of the strategy to maximise the potential of the Edna May operation, Evolution entered into a binding sale and purchase agreement with Independence Group NL ("Independence") to acquire the Holleton Gold Project ("Holleton") during the June quarter 2012. Holleton consists of 14 mining, exploration and prospecting licenses covering approximately 650 square kilometres within the Southern Cross Province of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia. The tenement package is located about 70 kilometres to the south of Edna May and about 70 kilometres to the south-southwest of Southern Cross.

Mt Carlton, Queensland Mine Lease Exploration

Geophysics undertaken over the western portion of the mining lease identified distinct chargeability and resistivity targets similar to the V2 deposit that are currently being prioritised for drill testing.

Initial drilling of the geophysical targets has returned significant alteration and associated massive sulphide veining returning anomalous results of 26.0m grading 60.8g/t silver, 0.3% lead and 0.48% zinc from 167 metres including 5 metres grading 165g/t silver, 0.3% lead and 0.7% zinc from 176 metres. This intercept represents mineralisation in a similar geological setting to the A39 deposit and was drilled in a previously untested area 350 metres west of the A39 pit. Additional drilling is planned in FY2013 to follow up this significant intercept.

Regional Exploration

Detailed geological mapping has commenced on the Capsize trend, an east-west zone of intense alteration extending over a 15 kilometre strike length which includes known prospects at Capsize Creek and Strathmore.

Geological mapping in conjunction with the acquisition of detailed airborne magnetic and radiometric data, detailed multi-element soil geochemistry and follow-up ground geophysical surveys in FY2013 are planned to define additional drill targets along the Capsize trend.

EVOLUTION'S BOARD HAS APPROVED A A\$28 MILLION BUDGET FOR DISCOVERY IN FY2013 WHICH CAN READILY BE EXPANDED TO FUND THE DRILL OUT OF DISCOVERIES OR ANY HIGH QUALITY PROJECT ACQUISITIONS MADE DURING THE YEAR

DISCOVERY

Mt Rawdon, Queensland

Resource Definition and Extension A geotechnical program of seven holes for 2,308 metres was undertaken for determination of final-wall design parameters for the cutback. Several of these holes passed through zones of sulphidic mineralisation and two holes were deepened specifically to intersect and possibly upgrade areas of Inferred Mineral Resource at Mt Rawdon.

Regional Exploration

A number of exploration targets were identified at Mt Rawdon as part of a regional prospectivity review incorporating geophysical, geochemical, structural and geological data. The review was completed at the end of the year and targets will be assessed, ranked and incorporated into future exploration programs.

Pajingo, Queensland

Moonlight Prospect

Drilling at the Moonlight prospect targeted a northwest trending zone of mineralised epithermal quartz veining and brecciation approximately 1.5 kilometres south of mine infrastructure. Approximately 13,380 metres of drilling were completed during the year where mineralisation has to date been intersected over a strike length of approximately 400 metres. The zone of mineralisation remains open along strike to the northwest with recent drilling indicating that it may be closing to the southeast. Best results returned during the quarter included 5.3 metres grading 6.48g/t gold from 390.7 metres.

Starlight Corridor

The Starlight Corridor is a structural zone of quartz veining and brecciation that intersects the main Vera-Nancy trend. Drilling during the quarter focused on Starlight B prospect where a zone of near surface mineralisation has been defined over a strike length of approximately 200 metres. The drilling was designed to test western extensions of this zone; however, assay results failed to highlight significant mineralisation from this phase of drilling. Mineralisation remains open to the east.

Starlight C prospect is located approximately 200 metres south of Starlight B and roughly 200 metres east of the current underground development. Results include 6.10 metres grading 1.64g/t gold from 119 metres and 2.00 metres grading 4.95g/t gold from 60 metres and suggest gold grades are increasing with depth. These intersections are interpreted to represent the upper portion of a mineralised shoot that is open at depth.

Aviary Group

The Aviary prospect is a conceptual porphyry-style exploration target with potential to host large tonnage low-grade gold mineralisation. The outcropping geology at Eagles Nest prospect hosts widespread gold bearing quartz veins (and associated metals) together with extensive sericite alteration which suggests the area has potential to host such deposits.

To date some 90 rock chip samples have been collected from within the Aviary area with best results of 52.6g/t gold taken from a narrow mesothermal quartz vein from the Pelican prospect.

Sonia Eastern Extension

Underground drilling at Sonia extended mineralisation and confirmed the continuity of a structurally controlled, high-grade dilational zone. Drilling to convert a portion of Sonia from Inferred to Indicated Resource was completed. Best results returned to date included 9.2 metres grading 22.2g/t gold and 2.1 metres grading 171.7g/t gold.

Group Mineral Resources are now estimated at 7.0 million ounces gold equivalent, a slight increase of 0.4% compared to the June 2011 estimate of 6.97 million ounces. Resources depleted by mining have effectively been replaced by newly defined mineralisation at Pajingo and an increase to the Edna May underground resource. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves.

Group Ore Reserves are now estimated at 3.33 million ounces gold equivalent, a decrease of 4.6% compared to the June 2011 estimate of 3.49 million ounces. This change is largely due to depletion by mining of approximately 400koz predominantly offset by significant reserve increases at Pajingo and Cracow. The Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves have been prepared according to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code).

This resource and reserve update only includes exploration and resource definition drilling information up to 31 December 2011 but has been depleted for mining to 30 June 2012. This discrepancy in timing is a consequence of the large task of compiling the disparate databases for projects that were previously owned by three different companies and then using similar estimation practices across the projects for the first time under Evolution ownership. Recent exploration success at Cracow (Coronation discovery) and at Pajingo (Moonlight prospect), in particular, have not been included in this resource and reserve update as information was unavailable at the cut-off date.

Evolution has made a strong commitment to exploration and resource definition drilling at each of its mines. The Company has budgeted A\$28 million for exploration and A\$12 million for resource definition drilling in the current financial year. It has an extensive and highly prospective exploration portfolio in Queensland and Western Australia and expects to increase resources and reserves in excess of mining depletion over the next 12 months.

Discussion of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves

Pajingo Mineral Resource The June 2012 Pajingo Mineral Resource estimate of 5.39 million tonnes at 5.2g/t gold for 900koz represents an increase of 172koz (24%) net of mining depletion compared to the previous estimate. Changes in the 2012 Mineral Resource estimate compared to the previously reported

• estimate include: • An increase of 375koz as a result of resource definition drilling within the main Vera-Nancy trend successfully defining additional resources at the Jandam and Faith lodes;
• • New mineralised lodes at Janine, Olivia and Leaping Dog;
• • A decrease of 116koz due to a change in the cut-off grade for underground resources from 1.0g/t to 2.4g/t gold; and
• • Mining depletion.

Open-pit Mineral Resources are reported at a 0.65g/t gold cut-off, constrained to an A\$1,350 per ounce pit shell and estimated using Ordinary Kriging into blocks with dimensions 10 metres east by 4 metres north by 5 metres elevation.

Underground Mineral Resources are reported at a 2.4 g/t gold cut-off and estimated using Ordinary Kriging into blocks with dimensions 10 metres east by 5 metres north by 10 metres elevation.

Pajingo Ore Reserves

The June 2012 Pajingo Ore Reserve estimate of 1.12 million tonnes at 5.1g/t gold for 184koz represents an increase of 44koz ounces (31%) net of mining depletion compared to the 2011 Ore Reserve estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Ore Reserve estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Increase in Faith Ore Reserve of 13koz gold;
• • Increase in Sonia Ore Reserve of 14koz gold due to additional drilling in Sonia and Sonia East;
• • Increase in Veracity Ore Reserve of 19koz gold;
• • Inclusion of Leaping Dog Ore Reserve of 13koz gold: and
• • Mining depletion.

The Ore Reserves are reported at a 3.0g/t gold (diluted panel grade) cut-off for underground and 0.65g/t gold for open pit. Ore Reserves were estimated based on a gold price of A\$1,350 per ounce and a gold recovery of 96%.

Cracow Mineral Resource

The June 2012 Cracow Mineral Resource estimate of 4.09 million tonnes at 5.8g/t gold for 768koz represents a decrease of 124koz (14%) net of mining depletion compared to the previous estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Mineral Resource estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Decrease in ounces due to the narrowing of some lode structures;
• • Change in cut-off grade from 2.5g/t gold to 2.3g/t gold resulting in a 14koz increase; and
• • Mining depletion.

The Mineral Resources are reported at a 2.3g/t gold cut-off and estimated using Ordinary Kriging into blocks with a range of dimensions optimised to the characteristics and geometry of each deposit.

Cracow Ore Reserves

The June 2012 Cracow Ore Reserve estimate of 1.28 million tonnes at 5.9g/t gold for 242koz represents a minimal change (-1%) net of mining depletion compared to the previous estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Ore Reserve estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Increases at the Kilkenny and Roses Pride lodes (20koz net of depletion);
• • Extension of the Klondyke North Shoot as a result of additional drilling (17koz); and
• • Mining depletion.

The Ore Reserves have been reported above a cut-off grade of 3.0g/t gold. Ore Reserves were estimated based on a gold price of A\$1,350 per ounce and a gold recovery of 93%.

Mt Rawdon Mineral Resource

The June 2012 Mt Rawdon Mineral Resource estimate of 52.5 million tonnes at 0.7g/t gold for 1,194koz represents an increase of167koz (16%) net of mining depletion compared to the previous estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Mineral Resource estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Increase of 307koz as a result of constraining mineralisation to an A\$1,800 per ounce pit shell (from A\$1,200 per ounce previously) and a change in cut-off grade from 0.38g/t gold to 0.23g/t gold.
• • Decrease of 32koz due to model methodology changes;
• • 2koz increase from a stockpile balance change; and
• • Mining depletion.

The Mineral Resources are reported at a 0.23g/t gold (unfactored model grade) cut-off, constrained to an A\$1,800 per ounce pit shell and estimated using Ordinary Kriging into blocks with dimensions 20 metres east by 20 metres north by 10 elevation.

Mt Rawdon Ore Reserves

The June 2012 Mt Rawdon Ore Reserve estimate of 36.2 million tonnes at 0.8g/t gold for 914koz represents a slight decrease (1%) net of mining depletion compared to the previous estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Ore Reserve estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Increase of 101koz due to lowering the cut-off from 0.4g/t to 0.3g/t gold and changing the gold price assumption from A\$1,133 per ounce to A\$1,350 per ounce;
• • Decrease of 6koz due to model methodology changes; and
• • Mining depletion.

The Ore Reserves are reported at a 0.30g/t gold (unfactored model grade) cut-off. Ore Reserves were estimated based on a gold price of A\$1,350 per ounce and a variable gold recovery averaging 89.5%.

Edna May Mineral Resource

The June 2012 Edna May Mineral Resource estimate of 45.8 million tonnes at 1.0g/t gold for 1,542koz represents a decrease of 220koz (13%) net of mining depletion compared to the 2011 estimate.

An increase in the underground Mineral Resource estimate of 107koz was off-set by the following changes:

• • Decrease of 67koz due to re-interpretation of mineralisation outside the Edna May Gneiss within the open-pit resource;
• • Decrease of 38koz due to reporting average grades (E-Type1 ) panel grades excluding panels from the open-pit resource below the 0.4g/t cut-off rather than using the recovery proportion assigned to a panel;
• • Decrease of 146koz due to improved structural domaining to better capture the changes in orientation of mineralisation; and

• Mining depletion.

The Mineral Resources are reported at a 0.4g/t gold cut-off for the Edna May and Greenfinch open-pits and 3.0g/t gold cut-off for the Edna May Underground. Edna May and Greenfinch were estimated using E-Type Multiple Indicator Kriging into blocks with dimensions 25 metres east by 25 metres north by 5 elevation and 20 metres east by 15 metres north by 5 elevation respectively. Edna May open pit was reported above the 1050mRL (290 metres below surface).

Edna May's underground deposit was estimated using a combination of Ordinary Kriging into blocks with dimensions 5 metres east by 5 metres north by 5 metres elevation and is reported below the 1050mRL. No additional drilling has been included in the 2012 Mineral Resource as compared to the previously reported Mineral Resource.

Edna May Ore Reserves

The June 2012 Edna May Ore Reserve estimate of 24.6 million tonnes at 1.0g/t gold for 767koz represents a decrease of 160koz (17%) net of mining depletion compared to the 2011 estimate.

Changes in the 2012 Ore Reserve estimate compared to the previously reported estimate include:

• • Decrease of 83koz due to optimisation of the open-pit design using the revised Mineral Resource estimate (i.e. excludes mineralisation outside the Edna May Gneiss, and uses E-Type grade estimates), and an increase in the input costs for the Ore Reserve estimation; and
• • Mining depletion.

The 2012 Ore Reserves are reported at a 0.4g/t gold cutoff. Ore Reserves were estimated based on a gold price of A\$1,500 per ounce gold price and a gold recovery of 91.5%.

¹ The E-Type estimate is taken as the mean grade for a block in space accounting for the estimation error or uncertainty of the resultant grade. The identification of the mean value is based on the CCDF (conditional cumulative distribution function) of real data.

Mt Carlton Mineral Resource

The June 2012 Mt Carlton Mineral Resource estimate of 27.9 million tonnes at 2.4g/t gold equivalent for 2.2 million gold equivalent ounces represents a 2% increase in gold equivalent ounces compared to the previous estimate. Changes in the 2012 Mineral Resource estimate compared to the previously reported estimate are a result of:

• • Changes in grade estimation methodology from a recovery value model to an average grade (E-Type) model; and
• • Changes in cut-off value parameters from an in-situ value of \$A20/t previously to a cut-off grade of 0.35g/t gold for V2 and 42g/t silver for A39.

The Mt Carlton Mineral Resource consists of the V2 and A39 deposits.

The V2 deposit Mineral Resources are reported at a 0.35g/t gold cut-off and estimated using E-Type Multiple Indicator Kriging into blocks with dimensions 25 metres east by 25 metres north by 5 metres elevation.

The A39 deposit Mineral Resources are reported at a 42g/t silver cut-off and estimated using a combination of Ordinary Kriging, for more broadly spaced resource definition drilling, and Sequential Gaussian Simulation for close-spaced grade-control drilled areas of the deposit into blocks with dimensions 10 metres by 10 metres by 2.5 metres elevation.

Mt Carlton Ore Reserves

The June 2012 Mt Carlton Ore Reserve estimate of 10.2 million tonnes at 3.7g/t gold equivalent for 1.22 million gold equivalent ounces represents a slight decrease (3%) in gold equivalent ounces compared to the previous estimate.

Changes are largely the result of a change in grade estimation technique from a recovery value model to an average grade (E-Type) model.

Changes in the 2012 Ore Reserve estimate compared to the 2011 Ore Reserve estimate are a result of:

• • Updated resource model using a simpler grade estimation technique and additional drilling;
• • Updated metal prices, process recoveries, mining costs, smelter payables, concentrate transport costs and royalties; and
• • New final pit designs based on updated pit optimisation with updated resource model and inputs.

Mt Carlton Ore Reserves are estimated based on metal prices of A\$1,350 per ounce for gold, A\$28.00 per ounce for silver and A\$2.00 per pound for copper.

The V2 deposit Ore Reserves are reported at a 0.69g/t gold cut-off. The V2 deposit Ore Reserve estimate used variable metal recoveries proportionate to head grade with gold recovery ranging from 82% to 90% and silver and copper recoveries ranging from 84% to 92%.

The A39 Deposit Ore Reserves are reported at a 53g/t silver cut-off. The A39 deposit Ore Reserve estimate used metal recoveries proportionate to head grade with a silver recovery of 88% and copper recovery of 92%.

The new modelling parameters as described above have also seen the waste to ore ratios improve significantly at both the V2 and A39 pits. The V2 strip ratio (waste tonnes to ore tonnes) has fallen to 2.7 from 3.9 previously and the A39 strip ratio has fallen to 3.3 from 11.9 previously.

Twin Hills Mineral Resource

The June 2012 Twin Hills Mineral Resource estimate of 4.62 million tonnes at 2.7g/t gold for 398koz is unchanged from the 2011 estimate as no new drilling or estimation has been conducted at Twin Hills.

The Mineral Resource estimate is reported above a cut-off of 0.5g/t gold and within a A\$1,500 per ounce pit shell for the Twin Hills open-pit and 2.0g/t gold for the Twin Hills Underground Deposits.

Twin Hills Ore Reserves

No Ore Reserves have been estimated for Twin Hills.

(1)EBITDA, EBIT and Underlying Net Profit are non-IFRS financial information and not subject to audit.

The 2012 financial year was a transformational period for Evolution Mining, formed through the successful completion of the merger between of Catalpa Resources and Conquest Mining and acquisition of certain assets from Newcrest Mining in November 2011. From this new platform Evolution delivered a material increase in underlying net profit of A\$63.4 million (before non-recurring items) and a reported net profit of A\$37.3 million.

Total revenue of A\$469.5 million was 285% higher than the prior year, due to a combination of higher gold prices and significantly higher gold production after the merger and acquisitions. Gold revenue in 2012 was A\$461.8 million from the sale of 288,617 ounces at an average gold price of A\$1,600 per ounce.

Cost of sales increased by 232% to A\$337.7 million compared to the prior year, predominantly a result of increased production costs in-line with the higher output, and to higher rates of depreciation and amortisation. On a unit basis, group cash costs decreased by 19% from A\$956 per ounce to A\$771 per ounce during 2012. Included in costs of sales are royalty costs of A\$22.5 million and depreciation and amortisation of A\$93.6 million.

Underlying Group EBITDA was A\$190.0 million. The underlying EBITDA for the operations, which is before corporate and exploration charges, was A\$225.4 million which represents a strong result considering 100% ownership for the Cracow and Mt Rawdon operations occurred for only part of the reporting period. The highest EBITDA contribution was from Mt Rawdon, at A\$74.6 million, followed by Cracow at A\$64.7 million, Edna May at A\$45.4 million and Pajingo A\$40.7 million. Despite the operational challenges experienced at Edna May during FY2012, the business unit contributed 20% of Group EBITDA.

Evolution's net assets during the period increased by A\$901.7 million to A\$1,056.4 million as a result of the net fair value uplift of assets acquired, net profit for the period and net equity raised. This has resulted in the company maintaining a strong balance sheet with the capacity to fund all of its existing development projects and the flexibility to pursue opportunistic growth as it arises. Cash at year end totalled A\$141.8 million with total borrowings of A\$38.1 million, comprising A\$31.5 million project debt and the balance in finance leases.

Capital spent at existing operations totalled some A\$150 million, with A\$44.2 million invested at Pajingo in underground development and equipment purchases, A\$43.8 million invested at Edna May in waste stripping and process improvements, A\$31.8 million at Cracow in underground development and A\$30.1 million at Mt Rawdon, predominantly in waste stripping. Mt Carlton expenditure was an additional A\$94 million during the year, of which A\$85 million is classified as direct project capital expenditure.

Exploration (discovery) expenditure during the year was A\$18.5 million, with the majority aimed at near mine targets at Edna May, Pajingo and Cracow.

Evolution Mining has implemented and is committed to the ASX Corporate Governance Council's ("Council") second edition (with 2010 amendments) Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations and to maintaining high standard of corporate governance. Where the Company's corporate governance practices do not correlate with all the practices recommended by the Council, or the Company does not consider it practicable or necessary to implement some principles due to the size and stage of development of its operations, the Board's reasoning for any departure is explained.

Evolution complies with the ASX Corporate Governance Council recommendations, unless otherwise stated.

Set out below are the fundamental corporate governance practices of the Company.

PRINCIPLE 1: LAY SOLID FOUNDATIONS FOR MANAGEMENT AND OVERSIGHT Role of the Board

The Board's role is to govern the Company and has thereby established the functions reserved to the Board. In governing the Company, the Directors must act in the best interests of the Company as a whole. Each member of the Board is committed to spending sufficient time to enable them to carry out their duties as a Director of the Company.

Responsibilities of the Board and Board Processes

In general, the Board is ultimately responsible for, and has the authority to determine all matters relating to the policies, practices, management and operations of the Company. The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for establishing the corporate governance standards and management framework. This framework divides the functions of running the Company between the Board, the Executive Chairman and senior executives. The Board guides and monitors the business affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable. It is required to do all things that may be necessary to be done in order to carry out the objectives of the Company. The Board delegates authority to senior executives and management to carry out delegated duties in support of the objectives of the Company. It is the role of Senior Management to manage the Company in accordance with the direction and delegations of the Board and the responsibility of the Board to oversee the activities of management in carrying out these delegated duties.

As at the date of this report the Board has established the following committees to assist it in discharging its functions:

• • Audit Committee;
• • Nomination and Remuneration Committee; and
• • Risk Management Committee.

The Board's functions and the functions delegated to senior executives are set out in the Board Charter which is available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

The Board holds regular meetings and is expected to meet periodically throughout the year. Directors' attendance at meetings held during this year is set out on page 45 of this annual report. The Board packs for the Board meeting are prepared and circulated in advance. Senior Executives are invited into Board meetings and are regularly involved in Board discussions.

THE ROLE OF The Nomination and Remuneration Committee

In accordance with its Charter, the Remuneration and Nomination Committee is structured such that it is chaired by an independent Non-Executive Director and has at least three non-executive Directors as members.

The Executive Chairman and the Senior Executives are responsible for the day to day running of the Company. The Board has in place a performance appraisal and remuneration system for the Executive Chairman and Senior Executives designed to enhance performance. Management performance is formally reviewed twice per year. The criterion for the evaluation of the Executive Chairman and Senior Executives is their performance against key performance indicators. The performance of the Executive Chairman is monitored and assessed by the members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee.

The Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is Mr Rowe, a Non-Executive Director. The other members of the Committee are Mr Askew and Mr Conway who both are Non-Executive Directors.

PRINCIPLE 2: STRUCTURED TO ADD VALUE

The Board currently comprises seven Directors, one of whom, Mr Klein, is Executive Chairman. The remaining six Directors are Non-Executive Directors with a mix of commercial, exploration, project development, mining and financial skills and experience. Further details about the Directors including skills, experience and term of office are set out on pages 42 and 43 of this annual report.

The Company recognises the importance of Non-Executive Directors and the external perspective and advice that Non-Executive Directors can offer. It is the approach and attitude of each Non-Executive Director which determines independence and this must be considered in relation to each Director, while taking into account all other relevant factors including those set out in the Board Charter (available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance"). Determination of the independence of each Director is made with reference to the factors set out in the Board Charter that list the relationships affecting independent status. The Board is comprised of a majority of independent Directors. The Board, at least annually, assesses the independence

of its Non-Executive Directors. This assessment may occur more than once each year if there is a change in circumstances that may impact upon the independence of a Non-Executive Director. Individual Directors must not participate in assessing their own independence, and must provide to the Board all information relevant to the assessment. In assessing independence, the Board considers all circumstances relevant to determining whether the Non- Executive Director is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with that Director's ability to exercise unfettered and independent judgment on Company issues. Directors are required to take into consideration any potential conflicts of interest when accepting appointments to other boards.

Directors are initially appointed by the full Board subject to election by shareholders at the next general meeting. Under the Company's constitution the tenure of a Director is subject to reappointment by shareholders not later than the third anniversary following his or her last appointment. There is no maximum age for Directors.

Mr Klein is the Executive Chairman of Evolution. This role requires Mr Klein to operate as the Chairman of the Board and also in the capacity of a role equivalent to a Chief Executive Officer. As a result there is not a clear division of responsibility between these functions. Also, as an Executive Chairman, Mr Klein is not independent of Evolution in accordance with Recommendation 2.2 of the ASX Principles and Recommendations. However the dual role of Mr Klein is balanced by the presence of a clear majority of independent Directors on the Board and the appointment of Mr Graham Freestone in February 2012 as Lead Independent Director. In this role, Mr Freestone chairs the discussions of the Non-Executive Directors and represents the Board and the Company in situations where the Executive Chairman may be conflicted. As such the Board believes Mr Klein is the best person to undertake the Executive Chairman role and does not believe it necessary at this stage to appoint an Independent Chairman of the Board.

Independent professional advice and access to information

Each Director has the right of access to all Company information and to Company Executives. Further, each Director and the Board collectively, subject to informing the Executive Chairman, has the right to seek independent professional advice from a suitably qualified advisor, at the Company's expense, with the approval of the Executive Chairman, to assist them to carry out their responsibilities. Where appropriate, a copy of this advice is to be made available to all other members of the Board.

PRINCIPLE 3: PROMOTE ETHICAL AND RESPONSIBLE DECISION MAKING Code of conduct

The Board has adopted a Board Code of Conduct that deals with:

• • obligations under legislation;
• • personal behaviour;
• • conflict of interest;
• • remuneration, expenses and other benefits; • information and records; and
• • trading in Company Securities.

One of the Board's key aims is to avoid conflicts of interest (both real and apparent) and to ensure that all Board issues receive proper consideration, unfettered by outside influences. If a conflict does exist, there are various courses of action available, depending upon the significance of the conflict.

In addition, as part of its commitment to recognising its legal obligations, the legitimate expectations of stakeholders and promoting practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Company's integrity, the Company has established a Code of Conduct for all employees and contractors. The code aims to provide guidance to Directors, Senior Executives, management and employees on the standards of personal and corporate behaviour and the responsibility and accountability required of the Company's personnel for reporting and investigating unethical practices. The code contains practices necessary to maintain external stakeholders' confidence in the Company's integrity, the practices necessary to take into account their legal obligations and the responsibilities of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of unethical practices.

Securities trading policy

The Company has adopted a securities trading policy for the Directors, Senior Executives, employees, consultants and contractors of the Company which is appropriate for a Company whose shares are admitted to trading on the ASX.

This policy was revised in December 2010 as a result of changes to the ASX Listing Rules applicable to securities trading. In the avoidance of doubt of compliance, Directors and other employees are directed to consult with the Company Secretary and the Executive Chairman. A copy of the Securities Trading Policy is available on the

Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

PRINCIPLE 4: SAFEGUARD INTEGRITY IN FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Board has established an Audit Committee to assist the Board to safeguard the integrity of financial reporting. The responsibilities of the Committee are set out in a formal charter approved by the Board. This charter is available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

The Audit Committee currently comprises three Non-Executive Directors. Mr Freestone is the Chairmain of the Audit Committee and an independent Non-Executive Director. Mr Marks and Mr Conway, both Non-Executive Directors are also members of the Committee. The composition of the Audit Committee satisfies the Board's requirements in performing the Committee's function given the size and complexity of the business at present.

Further details of the members of the Audit Committee and their attendance at committee meetings are set out on page 45 of this Annual Report.

PRINCIPLE 5: MAKE TIMELY AND BALANCED DISCLOSURE

The Board has designated the Executive Chairman, Company Secretary and the Vice President Investor Relations as the individuals responsible for overseeing and co-ordinating disclosure of information to the ASX as well as communicating with the ASX.

The Board has established a written policy for ensuring compliance with ASX listing rule disclosure requirements and accountability at senior executive level for that compliance. A copy of the Continuous Disclosure Policy is available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

The Board provides shareholders with information by applying this policy. The policy includes identifying matters that may have a material effect on the price of the Company's securities, notifying them to the ASX, posting them on the Company's website and issuing media releases.

PRINCIPLE 6: RESPECT THE RIGHTS OF SHAREHOLDERS

The Board respects the rights of its shareholders (by promoting effective communication with shareholders and encouraging shareholder participation at annual general meetings). To facilitate the effective exercise of those rights, the Company has established a Shareholder Communication Policy which is available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

The Board encourages full participation of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, to ensure a high level of accountability and identification with the Company's strategy and goals. Important issues are presented to the shareholders as single resolutions.

The Company also invites the external auditor to attend its Annual General Meeting and to be available to answer shareholders' questions about the conduct of the audit and the preparation and content of the auditor's report.

From time to time, briefings are arranged to give analysts and others who advise shareholders an understanding of the Company's activities. In conducting briefings the Company takes care to ensure that any price sensitive information released is made available to all shareholders (institutional and private) and the market at the same time. These announcements are lodged with the ASX and then posted on the Company's website.

PRINCIPLE 7: INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The Board has established a Risk Management Committee to oversee the Company's risk management systems, policies, practices and plans on behalf of the board and report the results of its activities to the Board. The Company is committed to the identification, monitoring and management of material business risks of its activities via its risk management framework. Copies of the Risk Management Policy and the Risk Committee Charter are available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance".

The Board assumes ultimate responsibility for the oversight and management of material business risks and satisfies itself annually, or more frequently as required, that management has developed and implemented a sound system of risk management and internal control to manage the Company's material business risks. The Board delegates the detailed work of this task to the Risk Management Committee and the Board periodically reviews this work. A key element in the risk management framework is the reporting by management on the Company's key risks. The Risk Management Committee oversees the adequacy and content of risk reporting from management. Based on reports compiled throughout the year, management prepares an annual summary report to indicate the effectiveness of the Company's management of its material business risks. This report will be prepared for the Risk Management Committee but ultimately be provided to the Board for its review.

Attestations by Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer

In accordance with recommendation 7.3 of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations, the Executive Chairman and Chief Financial Officer are required to state in writing to the Board that:

• 1.The statement given in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act, is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control which implements the policies adopted by the Board; and
• 2.The Company's risk management and internal control system is operating efficiently and effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Board receives regular updates from management on whether the Company's material business risks are being managed effectively. A Group Risk Manager has been

appointed with overall responsibility for the management, identification, monitoring, reporting and mitigation of Environmental, Health and Safety risks. The management and reporting of risks is communicated by management through the Executive Chairman and in Board reporting at regular Board and Risk Management Committee Meetings.

PRINCIPLE 8: REMUNERATE FAIRLY AND RESPONSIBLY Nomination and

Remuneration Committee

The Company has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee which has responsibility for the formulation of remuneration policies. The role of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is set out in a formal charter approved by the Board (available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance"). Its objectives are to:

• • Review and recommend appropriate remuneration policies which are designed to enhance Board, and Executive performance;
• • Maintain a Board that has an appropriate mix of skills and experience to be an effective decision- making body; and
• • Ensure that the Board is comprised of Directors who contribute to the successful management of the Company and discharge their duties having regard to the law and the highest standards of corporate governance.

Remuneration Report and Remuneration Policies

The Board (with the assistance of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee) has established a policy to ensure that it remunerates fairly and responsibly. The remuneration philosophy of the Board is designed to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is competitive, reasonable and appropriate for the results delivered and to attract and maintain talented and motivated Directors and employees. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for the oversight of the Company Performance Rights and the related plan.

Prior to the merger with Conquest Mining Limited ("Conquest") and the acquisition of the two assets from Newcrest Mining Limited ("Newcrest"), the Company established a remuneration advisory committee comprising members from each of the Company, Conquest and Newcrest. This committee was charged with the responsibility for making recommendations to the Board regarding the principles of remuneration to be applied to the Key Management Personnel ("KMP") of the Company, having regard to the ASX corporate governance principles and the remuneration practices of Australian mining companies of a comparable size to the Company.

The remuneration advisory committee engaged an independent remuneration consultant, Mercer Australia, ("Mercer") to prepare a report ("the Mercer Report") to assist the Nomination and Remuneration Committee,

amongst other items, to determine the appropriate levels for Non-Executive Directors Fees' and KMP remuneration. The remuneration advisory committee was replaced by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee upon the formation of the Company in October 2011. The recommendations of the Mercer report were adopted by the Board, having regard for the aggregate maximum Directors fee pool limit, which is currently set at \$750,000 for Non-Executive Directors. This limit is set by shareholders at an Annual General Meeting.

Non-Executive Directors of the Company are not entitled to participate in any equity plan of the Company and do not receive retirement benefits, other than statutory superannuation entitlements.

Further details on the structure of Executive Directors, Non-Executive Directors and KMP remuneration are set out in the Remuneration Report on pages 47 to 59 of this Annual Report.

Personnel of the Company are not permitted to enter into transactions with securities (or any derivative thereof) which limit the economic risk of any unvested entitlements awarded under any equity-based remuneration scheme, or otherwise awarded, or which will be offered by the Company in the future.

Diversity

The Board is committed to have an appropriate blend of diversity within the Group and especially within the Senior Executive team. A diversity policy is approved by the Executive Chairman and an approved component of the Board Charter to ensure diversity within the organisation. A copy of the Diversity Policy is available on the Company's website under "Corporate Governance". Of the Senior Management team the ratio of male to female participation is as follows:

	Male	Female
Board	100%	Nil
Senior Management	93%	7%
Group	85%	15%

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

The Company owns and operates four gold mines in Queensland and Western Australia and is developing a fifth gold-silver-copper project in Queensland. The Company's key assets are 100% interests in the Edna May Gold Mine, the Cracow Gold Mine, the Pajingo Gold Mine, the Mt Rawdon Gold Mine and the Mt Carlton gold, silver, copper development project.

During the year, the Company also engaged in exploration activities in and around its operations.

DIVIDENDS

No dividends were paid or declared during the financial year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Evolution's attributable gold production for the year ended 30 June 2012 was 280,401 ounces (2011: 96,109 ounces). Total gold production, assuming operations were wholly-owned for the year to 30 June 2012 was 346,979 ounces.

The Cracow Gold Mine, QLD (100%), produced 102,565 ounces of gold, which was towards the upper end of the Company's expected output range of between 90,000-107,000 ounces.

The Edna May Gold Mine, WA (100%), produced 73,264 ounces of gold. This was below the Company's expected output range of between 85,000-93,000 ounces, predominantly as a result of lower mill throughput due to poor plant reliability. Initiatives to improve plant reliability are planned to positively impact production performance in the 2013 financial year.

Mt Rawdon Gold Mine, QLD (100%) produced 95,403 ounces of gold which was within the Company's expected output range of between 90,000-105,000 ounces.

The Pajingo Gold Mine, QLD (100%), produced 75,747 ounces of gold which was above the Company's expected output of 70,000 ounces. Gold production in the 2012 year represents a 65% increase on that achieved in the previous year of 45,889 ounces and is a result of the capital investment programs implemented by Evolution to improve Pajingo's long-term sustainable performance.

The Mt Carlton gold-silver-copper project, QLD (100%), is Evolution's key organic growth asset and is planned to expand the Company's portfolio of 100% owned, Australian producing mines from four to five during the 2013 financial year. Procurement and engineering was largely complete and construction was approximately 50% complete at 30 June 2012. Project commissioning is planned in the December quarter of 2012. The project is planned to deliver approximately 800,000 ounces of gold, 17.3 million ounces of silver and 34,000 tonnes of copper over a 12 year life.

The Group generated gold sales revenue of \$461.9 million from the sale of 288,617 ounces of gold and silver sales revenue of \$7.6 million from the sale of 254,850 ounces of silver.

Reported profit from ordinary activities of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2012 was \$37.313 million (2011: loss of \$2.303 million). The net income for the period included business combination expenses of \$28.518 million.

As at 30 June 2012 the Company had 601 employees and 503 contractors.

REMUNERATION REPORT (AUDITED) INTRODUCTION

The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2012. This report contains details of the remuneration paid to Directors and Key Management Personnel ("KMP") as well as the remuneration strategy and policies that were applicable in the 2012 financial year. KMP's are defined those senior executives having the authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and are members of the senior leadership team.

The remuneration philosophy of the Board is to ensure that the Company remunerates fairly and responsibly. It is designed to ensure that the level and composition of remuneration is competitive, reasonable and appropriate for the results delivered and to attract and retain appropriately experienced Directors and employees. The remuneration strategies and practices in place have been designed to support this philosophy.

The Board has established a Nomination and Remuneration Committee, consisting solely of Non-Executive Directors, with the delegated responsibility to report on, and make recommendations to the Board on the:

• • appropriateness of the remuneration policies and systems, having regard to whether they are:
• relevant to the Company's wider objectives and strategies;
• legal and defensible;
• in accordance with the human resource objectives of the Company;
• • performance of the Executive Chairman (on an annual basis) and ensure there is a process for determining key performance indicators for the ensuing period;
• • remuneration of the Executive Chairman, Non-Executive Directors and KMP's, in accordance with approved Board policies and processes.

The prescribed details for each person covered by this report are detailed below under the following headings:

• • Industry context
• • Use of remuneration consultants
• • Remuneration strategy
• • Remuneration policy
• • Relationship between the remuneration policy and Company performance
• • Director and key management personnel details
• • Remuneration of Directors and key management personnel
• • Executive service agreements
• • Share-based compensation and performance rights

INDUSTRY CONTEXT

Evolution is a gold producer and operates in Queensland and Western Australia. In Queensland there are three business units; two underground operations and one open pit operation. In Western Australia there is one business unit, an open pit operation. Evolution also has one project in development in Queensland.

As at 30 June 2012, the Company workforce comprised of 601 employees and 503 contractors. Evolution competes nationally for labour in the wider resources industry as skills are generally transferable across commodities and states.

USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS

Mercer (Australia) Pty Limited ("Mercer") were engaged by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee to provide remuneration advice regarding Non-Executive and Executive Directors, and KMP's, covering fixed remuneration and short and long term incentives. Mercer has confirmed that the above recommendations have been made free from undue influence by members of the Group's key management personnel.

Under the terms of the engagement, the advice was provided directly to Mr John Rowe, Chairman of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. As a result the board is satisfied that the recommendations were made free from undue influence from any members of the key management personnel. The total amount paid to Mercer was \$83,000 for these services.

REMUNERATION STRATEGY

The development of the remuneration strategy for the 2012 financial year hinged on the successful formation of Evolution following the merger of Catalpa Resources Limited with Conquest Mining Limited and the concurrent acquisition of the two Newcrest assets. The remuneration strategy was reset and new short term and long term incentive plans established to align with objectives of the newly established entity.

The objectives of the remuneration strategy for the 2012 financial year were to ensure that:

• • total remuneration for Directors and KMP's and each level of the workforce was appropriate and competitive;
• • total remuneration comprised a reasonable fixed component and a significant "at risk" component based on performance hurdles;
• • corporate short term incentives were appropriate with hurdles that were measureable, transparent and achievable;
• • incentive plans were designed to motivate and incentivise for high performance and delivery on organisational objectives;
• • the corporate long term incentives focused on shareholder value; and
• • the principles and integrity of the remuneration review process delivered fair and equitable outcomes.

REMUNERATION POLICY

The Evolution remuneration policy has been designed to align Executive Director and KMP objectives with shareholder and business objectives by providing a total fixed remuneration ("TFR") component and offering specific "at risk" short and long-term incentives based on key performance areas affecting the Company's financial performance. The Nomination and Remuneration committee was formed to review the specifics of Directors and KMP remuneration and oversee all Company compensation changes and principles. The Board of Evolution believes the remuneration policy to be strategic, appropriate and effective in its ability to attract and retain Executive Directors and KMP's and to operate and manage the Company.

Evolution defines and applies its remuneration policy and elements by considering the overall business plan, key employee value drivers, individual employee performance and industry benchmark data.

All KMP's receive a remuneration package in line with the overall Company policy and additionally takes into account factors such as length of service and experience. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews executive packages annually by reference to the Company's performance, individual KMP performance and comparable information from industry sectors and other listed companies in similar industries.

The remuneration elements offered by Evolution include total fixed remuneration (TFR), which consists of a base salary plus superannuation and a variable or "at risk" remuneration component provided through short and long term incentive plans. Every permanent employee has eligibility under the Company's various short term incentive plans ("STIP's").

Directors and KMP's receive a superannuation guarantee contribution (SGC) required by Law, which is currently 9% and capped in line with the SGC maximum quarterly payment, and do not receive any other retirement benefits. Some individuals, however, may choose to sacrifice part of their salary to increase payments towards superannuation.

The Board policy is to remunerate Non-Executive Directors at market rates for comparable companies for time, commitment and responsibilities. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee determines Non-Executive Directors fees and reviews this annually, based on market practice, their duties and areas of responsibility. Independent external advice is sought when required. The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to Non-Executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (currently \$750,000 per annum). Fees for Non-Executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the Company and they do not participate in the Company's STIP or Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REMUNERATION POLICY AND COMPANY PERFORMANCE

The remuneration policy has been designed to align individual and team accountabilities with the Group's business plan goals.

A cornerstone element of the remuneration policy is the introduction of various incentive plans for eligible employees at the Company, addressing both short and long term goals. The purpose of these incentives is to encourage the alignment of employee effort with shareholder interests.

Evolution's STIPs includes the Corporate Plan, a Production Bonus, an Annual Performance Bonus and the Mt Carlton Construction Bonus. Employees have eligibility into one plan only and are measured consistently against outcomes at Threshold, Target and Maximum milestones.

The Corporate STIP applies to employees at the level of Manager and above across the Company. The STIP Award is a cash bonus, up to maximum percentage of TFR. It is assessed and paid annually conditional upon the achievement of key corporate objectives, which for FY12 were in areas of safety, production, merger activities and project development goals, as well as individual KPI's. All KPI's were established to ensure effort and performance was aligned to business goals.

A Corporate STIP bonus totalling \$2.3 million was awarded to the eligible group at 30 June 2012 to be communicated and paid in September quarter of FY13.

The Production bonus applies to site personnel, who are not eligible for the Corporate STIP (Manager and above). The Production STIP is a cash award of up to 20 per cent on TFR which is paid monthly against the outcomes of each Operational Site KPI's scorecard.

The Annual Performance Bonus applies to corporate employees and those employees who, by exception, are not included in a Corporate STIP or Production Bonus Plan. The Annual Bonus award is targeted at up to 20 per cent, depending on the employees position, as a cash bonus on TFR paid annually against the outcomes of functional (eg: exploration) and personal KPI's.

The Mt Carlton Construction bonus applies to employees at Mt Carlton, who are not eligible in the Corporate STIP. The Construction award is a cash bonus of up to 20 per cent on TFR paid aligned to milestone events and outcomes during the construction and commissioning phase of Mt Carlton.

The Company believes its incentive policy is effective in increasing shareholder wealth and delivering appropriate and motivational reward to all employees.

Details of Corporate STIP's and bonuses paid are shown in the Remuneration Table on page 54.

There are two long term incentive plans currently in existence at Evolution specifically, the Employees and Contractors Option Plan ("ECOP") and the Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan ("ESOP"), also referred to as the Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP").

Employees and Contractors Option Plan ("ECOP")

The ECOP was established and approved at the Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2008. The plan permits the Company, at the discretion of the Directors, to grant options over unissued ordinary shares of the Company to eligible Directors, members of staff and contractors as specified in the plan rules.

Options under ECOP

Following the merger of Evolution (then named Catalpa Resources Limited) and Conquest Mining Limited ("Conquest") by a scheme of arrangement implemented on 2 November 2011, 488,651 options were issued on 17 November 2011 to the former Conquest option holders as consideration for the cancellation of the outstanding options in Conquest Mining Limited, under this plan. During the year 227,282 options were exercised and there were 2,261,387 options outstanding at 30 June 2012 (2011: 2,000,018), all of which have been issued to Directors and KMP'S.

The movement in the options under this plan is summarised in the table below:

	30 June 2012	30 June 2011
	Number	Number
Outstanding balance at the beginning of the year (1 July)	2,000,018	2,018,200
Issued during the period	488,651	-
Exercised during the period	(227,282)	-
Expired during the period	-	(18,182)
Outstanding balance at the end of the year	2,261,387	2,000,018

This plan is now closed and no further options will be issued under this plan.

The Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan ("ESOP")

The ESOP was established and approved at the Annual General Meeting on 23 November 2010, and amended on 19 October 2011. The plan permits the Company, at the discretion of the Directors, to grant both options and performance rights over unissued ordinary shares of the Company to eligible Directors and members of staff as specified in the plan rules.

Under the ESOP, the options and performance rights, issued for nil consideration, are granted in accordance with performance guidelines established by the Directors of the Company. In exercising their discretion under the rules, the Directors will take into account matters such as the position of the eligible person, the role they play in the Company, the nature or terms of their employment or contract and the contribution they make to the Company as a whole. The options and performance rights are issued for a specified period and each option or performance right is convertible into one ordinary share. The exercise price of the options, determined in accordance with the rules of the plan, is based on the market price of a share on invitation date, grant date, or another specified date after grant close. All options and performance rights expire on the earlier of their expiry date or termination of the employee's employment subject to Director discretion. Options and performance rights do not vest until a specified period after granting and their exercise is conditional on the achievement of certain performance hurdles that are aligned with shareholder interests.

There are no voting or dividend rights attached to the options or performance rights. Voting rights will attach to the ordinary shares when the options have been exercised or the performance rights vested. Unvested options and performance rights cannot be transferred and will not be quoted on the ASX.

Options under ESOP

Following the merger of Evolution and Conquest, 8,586,087 options were issued on 17 November 2011 to the former Conquest option holders as consideration for the cancellation of the outstanding options in Conquest Mining Limited, under this plan. During the year 5,068,319 options were exercised and there were 9,215,087 options outstanding at 30 June 2012 (2011: 5,856,542), of which 6,941,436 were issued to Directors and KMP's (2011: 679,000).

The movement in the options under this plan is summarised in the table below:

	30 June 2012	30 June 2011

A long term incentive plan approved by shareholders on 23 November 2010 provided for the issuance of performance rights to Executive Directors and eligible employees. The introduced LTIP for employees at the level of Manager and above, effective from 1 July 2011, provides equity based "at risk" remuneration, up to maximum percentages, based on, and in addition to each eligible employee's Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR). These incentives are aimed at retaining and incentivising KMP's and senior managers on a basis that is aligned with shareholder interests, and are provided via performance rights.

During the year the Company issued 3,668,344 Performance Rights to employees. The movement in Performance Rights under this plan is summarised in the table below:

	30 June 2012	30 June 2011
	Number	Number
Outstanding balance at the beginning of the year (1 July)	1,151,000	-
Performance rights granted during the period	3,668,344	1,151,000
Exercised during the period	(1,026,000)	-
Lapsed during the period	(125,000)	-
Forfeited during the year	(87,586)	-
Outstanding balance at the end of the year	3,580,758	1,151,000

None of the performance rights granted during the period have vested as at the reporting date.

For the 2012 financial year the Performance Rights have been split into two tranches, hereinafter referred to as the "First Tranche" and "Second Tranche", to reflect Evolution's remuneration strategy following the merger between Catalpa Resources Limited and Conquest Mining Limited. Performance Rights issued during the year under the LTIP generally have a term of 3 years (other than a two year period for the First Tranche) and vest based on the achievement of specific targets with respect to:

• • Evolution's relative total shareholder return (TSR) measured against the TSR for a peer Company of 20 comparator gold mining companies (Peer Group); (60% weighting) and
• • Evolution's net C1 cash costs per ounce ranking amongst the Peer Group (40% weighting).

The first tranche of performance rights will be tested on 30 June 2013 and the second tranche tested on 30 June 2014.

(i) TSR Performance

A total of 60% of the Performance Rights will be tested against Evolution's TSR performance relative to the Peer Group (on the 30 June 2013) and the Second Tranche Performance Rights will be tested on the 30 June 2014, together the "Relevant Date".

Evolution's TSR will be based on the percentage by which its 30-day volume weighted average share price quoted on ASX (VWAP) at the close of trade on the Relevant Date (plus the value of any dividends paid during the performance period) has increased over the company's 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on the Grant Date.

The TSR for each Peer Group will be based on the percentage by which the Peer Group's 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on the Relevant Date (plus the value of any dividends paid during the performance period) has increased over that company's 30-day VWAP at the close of trade on the Grant Date. The current Peer Group selected by the Board is:

Alacer Gold Corp	CGA Mining Ltd	Medusa Mining Ltd	Regis Resources NL
Alamos Gold Inc	Dundee Precious Metals Inc	New Gold Inc	Resolute Mining Ltd
Allied Gold Ltd	Golden Star Resources Ltd	Northgate Minerals Corp 1	Semafo Inc
Aurico Gold Inc	Intrepid Mines Ltd	Oceana Gold Corp	St Barbara Ltd
Centamin Egypt Inc	Kingsgate Consolidated Ltd	Perseus Mining Ltd	Troy Resources NL

The Board has the discretion to adjust the composition and number of the companies in the peer group to take into account events including, but not limited to, takeovers, mergers and demergers that might occur during the performance period.

The proportion of the TSR Performance Rights that will vest will be based on the Relevant Date TSR as compared to the 2013 or 2014 Peer Group TSRs. The proportion of the TSR Performance Rights that will vest will be determined as follows:

Level of performance achieved	Evolution TSR performance as compared to the Peer Group TSR	% of TSR Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Top 50th percentile	33%
	Above the top 50th percentile and below the top 25th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 33% and 66%
Target	Top 25th percentile	66%
	Above the top 25th percentile and below the top 10th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 66% and 100%
Exceptional	Top 10th percentile or above	100%

1 Northgate has been taken over and has been replaced by Silver Lake for the FY13 LTIP's.

(ii) C1 Cash Costs Performance

The remaining 40% of the Performance Rights will be tested against Evolution's C1 cash costs per ounce performance relative to the Peer Group Companies (C1 Performance Rights).

The net C1 cash costs per ounce (in Australian dollars) for Evolution and the Peer Group Company will be determined for the year ended on the Relevant Date (Cash Costs).

The Company's Cash Costs will be ranked against the Cash Costs for the Peer Group (Evolution's C1 Rank).

The proportion of the C1 Costs Performance Rights that will vest will be determined based on Evolution's C1 Rank as follows:

Level of performance achieved	Evolution's C1 Rank	% of C1 Performance Rights vesting
Threshold	Top 70th percentile	33%
	Above the top 70th percentile and below the top 50th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 33% and 66%
Target	Top 50th percentile	66%
	Above the top 50th percentile and below the top 35th percentile	Straight-line pro-rata between 66% and 100%
Exceptional	Top 35th percentile or above	100%

(iii) Performance Right valuation

The performance rights have three performance components: a market-based TSR condition, and two non-market based conditions, being C1 condition and continued employment at the vesting date.

The fair value of the TSR Performance Rights (market-based condition) was estimated at the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted.

In accordance with the rules of the plan, the valuation of the C1 Performance Rights (non-market based performance condition) is based on information from other companies in the comparator group and not a market price or market condition. The fair value before considering expected C1 rankings against the Comparator is essentially the share price on grant date as dividends are not considered as future dividends cannot be reliably estimated.

The following tables list the inputs to the models used for the performance rights, the fair value and number of performance rights at grant date granted for the year:

	TSR	C1	TSR	C1

IMDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND AUDITORS

During the financial year the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company, the company secretaries and all executive officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such a Director, secretary or executive officer to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001. The contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company has entered into a Deed of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each Director. In summary the Deed provides for:

• • Access to corporate records for each Director for a period after ceasing to hold office in the Company;
• • The provision of Directors and Officers Liability Insurance; and
• • Indemnity for legal costs incurred by Directors in carrying out the business affairs of the Company.

Except for the above the Company has not otherwise, during or since the financial year, except to the amount permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against a liability incurred as such an officer or auditor.

NON-AUDIT SERVICES

Details of amounts paid or payable to the auditor for non-audit services provided during the period by the auditor are detailed in Note 26. The Directors are satisfied that the provision of non-audit services during the period by the auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001.

The Directors are of the opinion that the services disclosed in Note 26 to the financial statements do not compromise the external auditor's independence, based on the Auditor's representations and appraisal and advice received from the Audit Committee, for the following reasons:

• • All non-audit services have been reviewed to ensure they do not impact the integrity and objectivity of the auditor; and
• • None of the services undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in Code of Conduct APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board, including reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Company, acting as advocate for the Company or jointly sharing economic risks and rewards.

AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION

The Auditor's Independence Declaration is included on page 63 of the financial report.

ROUNDING OFF AMOUNTS

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the directors' report and the financial report are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Signed in accordance with a resolution of the directors made pursuant to s306(3) of the Corporations Act 2001.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for the consolidated entity consisting of Evolution Mining Limited and its subsidiaries ("Evolution" or "Group").

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001. Evolution is a for-profit entity for the purpose of preparing the financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). These financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of certain available for sale financial assets. Cost is based on the fair values of the consideration given in exchange for assets.

The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 2.

The Group did not adopt any new and/or revised Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations from 1 July 2011 which had an effect on the financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has also not elected to apply any pronouncements before their operative date in the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2011.

The June 2012 year results and balances reflect twelve months of Catalpa Resources (100% Edna May and 30% of Cracow operations), the consolidation of Conquest Mining Limited from 17 October 2011 and the consolidation of Mt Rawdon and a 70% interest in Cracow from 2 November 2011. Comparative data is based on the Group's results before the business combinations outlined in Note 22.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Business Combinations

Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

Consideration is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred and equity interests issued by the Group on acquisition date. Consideration also includes the acquisition date fair values of any contingent consideration arrangements, any pre-existing equity interests in the acquiree and share-based payment awards of the acquiree that are required to be replaced in a business combination. Where equity instruments are issued as part of the consideration, the value of the equity instruments is their published market price at the acquisition date unless, in rare circumstances it can be demonstrated that the published price at acquisition date is not fair value and that other evidence and valuation methods provide a more reliable measure of fair value.

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in business combinations are, with limited exceptions, initially measured at their fair values at acquisition date. Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration transferred and the amount of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree over fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. If the consideration and non-controlling interest of the acquiree is less than the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss as a bargain purchase price, but only after a reassessment of the identification and measurement of the net assets acquired.

Acquisition related costs are expensed when incurred. Transaction costs arising on the issue of equity instruments are recognised directly in equity. Where settlement of any part of the cash consideration is deferred, the amounts payable in future are discounted to present value at the date of exchange using the entity's incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

If the Group holds a non-controlling equity investment in an acquiree immediately before obtaining control, the Group re-measures that previously held equity investment at its acquisition date fair value and recognises any resulting gain or loss in profit or loss.

Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders and no goodwill is recognised as a result of these transactions.

(ii) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group.

(iii) Joint venture arrangements

Until the acquisition on 2 November 2011, the Group had an interest in a joint venture that is a jointly controlled operation being a 30% interest in Cracow. A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled operation involves use of assets and other resources of the venturers rather than establishment of a separate entity. The Group recognises its interest in the jointly controlled operation by recognising its interest in the assets and the liabilities of the joint venture. The Group also recognises the expenses that it incurs and its share of the income that it earns from the sale of goods or services by the jointly controlled operation.

(iv) Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(v) Change in ownership interests

The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received in recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners of Evolution.

When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, jointly controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss. If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

(c) Operating Segments

An operating segment is a component of equity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, whose operating results are reviewed regularly by the entity's chief operating decision makers.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Executive Chairman and the management team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Group has identified its operating segments as being Edna May, Cracow, Mt Rawdon and Pajingo mine sites, with Mt Carlton and Corporate combined for reporting purposes.

(d) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefit will flow to the entity and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised.

Metal Sales

Revenue from sales of refined metals is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer and can be reliably measured, which means the following:

• • The product is in a form suitable for delivery and no further processing is required by or on behalf of the consolidated entity;
• • The quantity and quality (grade) of the product can be determined with reasonable accuracy;
• • The product has been dispatched to the customer and is no longer under the physical control of the consolidated entity;
• • The selling price can be measured reliably;
• • It is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the consolidated entity; and
• • The costs incurred, or expected to be incurred, in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

As a result of the above policy generally revenue is recognised at time of shipment. Where metal is delivered into the physical gold delivery contract with Macquarie Bank Limited ('Macquarie') revenue is recognised at the time of the metal transfer into to the Macquarie metals account. Refined bullion at the mint awaiting metal transfer to Macquarie's account is treated as inventory as significant risks and rewards have not passed to the buyer.

Interest Income

Interest income is recognised based on the control of the right to receive the interest payment as it accrues in profit and loss using the effective interest method.

(e) Income tax

The income tax expense or benefit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the national income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in controlled entities where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity are also recognised directly in other comprehensive income or equity.

Tax Consolidation Legislation

Evolution and its wholly owned Australian controlled entities have implemented the tax consolidation legislation. As a consequence these entities are taxed as a single entity and the deferred tax assets and liabilities of these entities are set off in the consolidated financial statements.

Evolution Mining Limited is the head entity of the tax consolidated group and each member of the group account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. These tax amounts are measured as if each entity in the tax consolidated group continues to be a stand-alone taxpayer in its own right. In addition to its own current and deferred tax amounts, Evolution Mining Limited also recognises the current tax liabilities (or assets) and the deferred tax assets arising from unused tax losses and unused tax credits assumed from controlled entities in the tax consolidated group.

The entities have also entered into a tax funding agreement under which the wholly owned entities fully compensate Evolution Mining Limited for any current tax payable assumed and are compensated Evolution Mining Limited for any current tax receivable and deferred tax assets relating to unused tax losses or unused tax credits that are transferred to Evolution Mining Limited under the tax consolidation legislation. The funding amounts are determined by reference to the amounts recognised in the wholly owned entities' financial statements.

The amounts receivable/payable under the tax funding agreement is due upon receipt of the funding advice from the head entity, which is issued as soon as practicable after the end of each financial year. The head entity may also require payment of interim funding amounts to assist with its obligations to pay tax instalments.

Assets or liabilities arising under tax funding agreements with the tax consolidated entities are recognised as current amounts receivable from or payable to other entities in the group.

Any difference between the amounts assumed and amounts receivable or payable under the tax funding agreement are recognised as a contribution to (or distribution from) wholly owned tax consolidated entities.

(f) Leases

Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group, as lessee, has substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the lease's inception at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other short-term and long-term payables. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the life of the mine.

Leases where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are not transferred to the Group as lessee are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

(g) Impairment of assets

Goodwill is not amortised and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and other intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where the asset does not generate cash in-flows that are independent from other assets, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

(h) Cash and cash equivalents

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand, deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

(i) Trade and other receivables

Receivables are recognised and carried at original invoice amount less a provision for any uncollectible debts. An estimate for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written-off as incurred.

(j) Inventories

Gold in solution form, gold dore, refined gold bullion, stockpiled ore, concentrates and work in progress are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost represents the weighted average cost and includes direct costs and an appropriate portion of fixed and variable production overhead expenditure, including depreciation and amortisation, incurred in converting materials into finished goods.

Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Any provision for obsolescence is determined by reference to specific stock items identified. A regular and ongoing review is undertaken to establish the extent of surplus items and a provision is made for any potential loss on their disposal.

Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(k) Investments and other financial assets

Classification

The Group classifies its investments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, held-to-maturity investments and available-for-sale financial assets. The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its investments at initial recognition and, in the case of assets classified as held-to-maturity, re-evaluates this designation at each reporting date. The Group may choose to reclassify the financial assets depending on change in intentions and circumstances.

(i) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. Derivatives are classified as held-for-trading unless they are designated as hedges.

(ii) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position.

(iii) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Recognition and derecognition

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, which is the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss is initially recognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income are included in profit or loss as gains and losses from investment securities.

Subsequent measurement

Loans and receivables and held-to-maturity investments are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'financial assets at fair value through profit or loss' category are presented in profit or loss within other income or other expenses in the period in which they arise. Changes in the fair value of securities classified as Available for Sale are recognised in the other comprehensive income.

Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss as part of revenue when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

Fair value

The fair values of quoted investments are based on last trade prices. If the market for a financial asset is not active (and for unlisted securities), the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of recent arm's length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, and option pricing models making maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

Impairment

The Group assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the income statement.

(l) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the last trade price. The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

(m) Mine development and exploration

(i) Mine development

In open pit mining operations, it is necessary to remove overburden and other waste materials to access ore from which minerals can be extracted economically. The process of mining overburden and waste materials is referred to as stripping. During the development of a mine (or pit), before production commences, stripping costs are capitalised as mine development.

During the production stage of some pits, further development of the pit may require a phase of unusually high overburden removal activity that is similar in nature to pre-production pit development. This typically occurs when 'cut-backs' are made to gain access to a specific section of the ore body. The costs of such unusually high overburden removal activity are also capitalised as mine development.

Mine development costs are amortised on a units of production basis over the life of the pit to which they relate. In applying the units of production method, amortisation is calculated using the expected total contained ounces within the pit to achieve a consistent amortisation rate per ounce. To achieve this, the amortisation rate is based on the ratio of total pit development costs (incurred and anticipated) over the expected total contained ounces.

Change in policy from 1 July 2011

A voluntary change in accounting policy on mine development has been applied from 1 July 2011 to align the accounting treatment across the new operations within the Group. Previously, all costs associated with open pit 'cut-back' activity were treated as deferred mining expenditure rather than as a mine development asset. This change has resulted in an increased cost of goods sold including higher depreciation and amortisation charge, with a net impact of \$17.111 million reduction in the profit before tax for the year. The impact on the prior period has not been determined as it is impractical to determine the effect of this change in policy on prior periods.

(ii) Exploration and evaluation expenditure

Exploration and evaluation activity involves the search for mineral resources, the determination of technical feasibility and the assessment of commercial viability of an identified resource. Exploration and evaluation activity includes:

• • researching and analysing historical exploration data;
• • gathering exploration data through topographical, geochemical and geophysical studies;
• • exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling;
• • determining and examining the volume and grade of the resource;
• • surveying transportation and infrastructure requirements; and
• • conducting market and finance studies.

Early stage exploration expenditure on new areas of interest are expensed as incurred. Exploration and evaluation expenditure is capitalised in relation to areas of interest in or around producing mines or where management believes the costs are recoverable.

Exploration expenditure for each area of interest is carried forward as an asset provided the rights to tenure of the area of interest are current and one of the following conditions is met:

• • the exploration and evaluation expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; and
• • exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves, and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest are continuing.

An impairment review is performed, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level, when there are indicators that the carrying amount of the assets may exceed their recoverable amounts. To the extent that this occurs, the excess is fully provided against, in the financial year in which this is determined. Exploration and evaluation assets are reassessed on a regular basis and these costs are carried forward provided that at least one of the conditions outlined above is met.

Administration costs that are not directly attributable to a specific exploration area are charged to the income statement. Expenditure is transferred to mine development assets once the work completed to date supports the future development of the property and such development receives appropriate approvals.

(n) Deferred mining expenditure

The Group incurs costs of removing overburden and other waste during the production phase of a pit. Other than unusually high overburden removal in cutback campaigns (referred to in Note 1(m) above), these costs are deferred where this is the most appropriate basis for matching the costs against the related economic benefits and the effect is material. This is generally the case where there are fluctuations in stripping costs over the life of a pit.

The amount of stripping costs expensed or deferred is based on the stripping ratio which is determined by dividing the tonnage of waste mined (excluding any waste associated with mine development) by the quantity of ore mined. Stripping costs incurred in the period are deferred as other assets to the extent that the current period stripping ratio exceeds the life of pit ratio. Such deferred costs are then expensed in subsequent periods to the extent that the current period stripping ratio falls short of the life of pit stripping ratio.

The impact of changes in the estimated life of pit stripping ratios is accounted for prospectively from when the change is determined.

Deferred mining expenditure is recognised in other current assets.

(o) Property, plant and equipment

Land is carried at historical cost. All plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost is fair value of the item at acquisition date and includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the reporting period in which they are incurred.

Land is not depreciated. Depreciation of plant and equipment is calculated using the straight line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives. The rates vary between 10% and 33% per annum.

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in profit or loss.

(p) Goodwill

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Impairment is determined by comparing the carrying amount of goodwill in comparison to the value of relevant assets. Impairment losses recognised for goodwill are not subsequently reversed.

(q) Intangible Assets

Mining Tenements, Mining Rights and Mining Information

Mining tenements have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less, where applicable, any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. The carrying values of mining tenements and mining rights are reviewed to ensure they are not in excess of their recoverable amounts. Amortisation of mining tenements and mining rights commences from the date when commercial production commences or in the case of the acquisitions, from the date of acquisition and is charged to the profit or loss. Mining tenements are amortised over the life of the mine using units of production basis in ounces.

Mining information has a finite useful life and is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Mining Information amortisation is recognised over the period that the information is expected to remain relevant.

The amortisation of the above intangibles is classified as a cost of sale.

(r) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are paid on normal commercial terms.

(s) Borrowings

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction and establishment costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are removed from the statement of financial position when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in other income or other expenses.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

(t) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.

(u) Site restoration

Site restoration costs include the dismantling and removal of mining plant, equipment and building structures, waste removal and rehabilitation of the site in accordance with the requirements of the mining permits. Such costs are determined using estimates of future costs, current legal requirements and technology.

Costs of site restoration are recognised in full at present value as a non-current liability. An equivalent amount is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset when an obligation arises to decommission or restore a site to a certain condition after abandonment as a result of bringing the assets to its present location. The capitalised cost is amortised over the life of the project and the provision is accreted periodically as the discounting of the liability unwinds. The unwinding of the discount is recorded as interest expense.

Any changes in the estimates for the costs or other assumptions are accounted for on a prospective basis. In determining the costs of site restoration there is uncertainty regarding the nature and extent of the restoration due to community expectations and future legislation. The costs are determined on the basis that restoration will be completed within one year of abandoning a site.

(v) Royalties

Western Australian State government royalties and other royalties payable under existing agreements are payable on production and are therefore recognised on delivery of gold dore to the refinery. Queensland State government royalties are payable on a revenue basis and therefore recognised at the time of revenue recognition.

(w) Employee benefits

(i) Wages and salaries, annual leave and other employee benefits

Provision is made for employee benefits accumulated as a result of employees rendering services up to the reporting date. These benefits include wages and salaries, annual leave, and long service leave.

Liabilities arising in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and any other short-term employee benefits are measured at their nominal amounts based on remuneration rates which are expected to be paid when the liability is settled. All other employee benefit liabilities are measured at the present value of the estimated future cash outflow to be made in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date. In determining the present value of future cash outflows, the market yield as at the reporting date on national government bonds, which have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related liability, are used.

(ii) Share based payments

The Group provides benefits to its employees (including key management personnel) in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services in exchange for shares or rights over shares (equity-settled transactions). The Group provides awards to its employees and directors through the Company's Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan. Shares and options may also be issued directly to other parties.

Vesting conditions that are linked to the price of shares of the Company (market conditions) are taken into account when determining the fair value of equity settled transactions. Other vesting conditions such as service conditions are excluded from the measurement of fair value but are considered in estimating the number of investments that may ultimately vest.

The cost of these equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. The fair value is determined using a Black Scholes model. A Monte Carlo simulation in conjunction with the Black Scholes model is applied to take into account any market conditions associated with an award.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognised, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period), ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date).

At each subsequent reporting date until vesting, the cumulative charge to the statement of comprehensive income is the product of:

• (a) The grant date fair value of the award.
• (b) The current best estimate of the number of awards that will vest, taking into account such factors as the likelihood of employee turnover during the vesting period and the likelihood of non-market performance conditions being met.
• (c) The expired portion of the vesting period.

The charge to the statement of comprehensive income for the period is the cumulative amount as calculated above less the amounts already charged in previous periods. There is a corresponding entry to equity.

Until an award has vested, any amounts recorded are contingent and will be adjusted if more or fewer awards vest than were originally anticipated to do so. Any award subject to a market condition or non-vesting condition is considered to vest irrespective of whether or not that market condition or non-vesting is fulfilled, provided that all other conditions are satisfied.

If a non-vesting condition is within the control of the Company or the participant, the failure to satisfy the condition is treated as a cancellation. If a non-vesting condition within the control of neither the Group, Company nor employee is not satisfied during the vesting period, any expense for the award not previously recognised is recognised over the remaining vesting period, unless the award is forfeited.

If the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified. An additional expense is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee, as measured at the date of modification. If an equity-settled award is cancelled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation, and any expense not yet recognised for the award is recognised immediately. However, if a new award is substituted for the cancelled award and designated as a replacement award on the date that it is granted, the cancelled and new award are treated as if they were a modification of the original award.

The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

(x) Issued capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(y) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(z) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

(aa) Rounding of amounts

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Class Order 98/0100, dated 10 July 1998, and in accordance with that Class Order amounts in the Directors' report and the financial report are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated.

(bb) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The Group did not adopt any new and/or revised Accounting Standards, Amendments and Interpretations from 1 July 2011 which had an effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

The Group has not elected to early adopt any other new standards, amendments or interpretations that are issued but are not yet effective. Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2012 reporting periods. The Group's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013*)

AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013* but is available for early adoption. When adopted, the standard will affect in particular the Group's accounting for its available-forsale financial assets, since AASB 9 only permits the recognition of fair value gains and losses in other comprehensive income if they relate to equity investments that are not held for trading.

There will be no impact on the Group's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the Group does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The Group has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.

* In December 2011, the IASB delayed the application date of IFRS 9 to 1 January 2015. The AASB is expected to make an equivalent amendment to AASB 9 shortly.

AASB 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

AASB 10 replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in AASB 127 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, and Interpretation 12 Consolidation – Special Purpose Entities. The core principle that a consolidated entity presents a parent and its subsidiaries as if they are a single economic entity remains unchanged, as do the mechanics of consolidation. However, the standard introduces a single definition of control that applies to all entities. It focuses on the need to have both power and rights or exposure to variable returns. Power is the current ability to direct the activities that significantly influence returns. Returns must vary and can be positive, negative or both. Control exists when the investor can use its power to affect the amount of its returns. There is also new guidance on participating and protective rights and on agent/principal relationships. While the Group does not expect the new standard to have a significant impact on its composition, it has yet to perform a detailed analysis of the new guidance in the context of its various investees that may or may not be controlled under the new rules.

AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013)

AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The Group has yet to determine which, if any, of its current measurement techniques will have to change as a result of the new guidance. It is therefore not possible to state the impact, if any, of the new rules on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, application of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The Group does not intend to adopt the new standard before its operative date, which means that it would be first applied in the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014.

AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)

On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced a revised differential reporting framework in Australia. Under this framework, a two-tier differential reporting regime applies to all entities that prepare general purpose financial statements. As Evolution is listed on the ASX, it is therefore not eligible to adopt the new Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements. As a consequence, the two standards will have no impact on the financial statements of the entity.

AASB 2011-9 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income(effective 1 July 2012)

In September 2011, the AASB made an amendment to AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements which requires entities to separate items presented in other comprehensive income into two groups, based on whether they may be recycled to profit or loss in the future. This will not affect the measurement of any of the items recognised in the balance sheet or the profit or loss in the current period. The Group intends to adopt the new standard from 1 July 2012.

AASB 2011-4 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards to Remove Individual Key Management Personnel Disclosure Requirements (effective 1 July 2013)

In July 2011 the AASB decided to remove the individual key management personnel (KMP) disclosure requirements from AASB 124 Related Party Disclosures, to achieve consistency with the international equivalent standard and remove a duplication of the requirements with the Corporations Act 2001. While this will reduce the disclosures that are currently required in the notes to the financial statements, it will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The amendments apply from 1 July 2013 and cannot be adopted early. The Corporations Act requirements in relation to remuneration reports will remain unchanged for now, but these requirements are currently subject to review and may also be revised in the near future.

AASB Interpretation 20 Stripping Costs in the Production Phase of a Surface Mine and AASB 2011-12 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 20 (effective 1 January 2013)

Interpretation 20 sets out the accounting for overburden waste removal (stripping) costs in the production phase of a mine. It states that these costs can only be recognised as an asset if they can be attributed to an identifiable component of the ore body, the costs relating to the improved access to that component can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the stripping activity (improved access to the orebody) will flow to the entity. The Group has not yet undertaken a review of its existing stripping cost assets in light of the requirements of the interpretation and hence is unable to quantify the effect, if any, on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

(cc) Parent entity financial information

The financial information for the parent entity Evolution Mining Limited, disclosed in Note 31 has been prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statement.

2. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of Australian Accounting Standards, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstance, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The judgments, estimates and assumptions that management has made in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies and that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are discussed below.

(i) Determination of mineral resources and ore reserves

The Group estimates its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with the Australian Code of Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the 'JORC Code'). The information on mineral resources and ore reserves is prepared by or under the supervision of Competent Persons as defined in the JORC Code. The amounts presented are based on the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves determined under the JORC Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation which may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may, ultimately, result in the reserves being restated. Such changes in reserves could impact on depreciation and amortisation rates, asset carrying values and provisions for decommissioning and restoration.

(ii) Fair values of assets and liabilities on acquisition

Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair value at the acquisition date. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

(iii) Estimation for the provision for rehabilitation and dismantling

Provision for rehabilitation and dismantling property, plant and equipment is estimated taking into consideration facts and circumstances available at the balance sheet date. This estimate is based on the expenditure required to undertake the rehabilitation and dismantling, taking into consideration time value of money.

(iv) Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for tax losses and deductible temporary differences to the extent management considers that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to utilise those tax losses and temporary differences.

(v) Impairment of property, plant and equipment and capitalised mine development expenditure

The Group reviews for impairment of property, plant and equipment, in accordance with its accounting policy. The recoverable amount of these assets has been determined based on the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and value in use. These calculations require the use of estimates and judgements.

The future recoverability of capitalised mine development expenditure is dependent on a number of factors, including the level of proved, probable, mineral resources and ore reserves, future technological changes which could impact the cost of mining, future legal changes (including changes to environment restoration obligations) and changes to commodity prices. To the extent that capitalised mine development expenditure is determined not to be recoverable in the future, this will reduce profits and net assets in the period in which this determination is made.

3. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. The Group has not used derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to hedge interest rate risk exposures given the low level of borrowings in the consolidated statement of financial position. The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed, the main risk being commodity price risk of gold and silver sold.

Risk management is carried out at a corporate level under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Management identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group's operating units. The board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, gold price risk and use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.

The Group holds the following financial instruments:

	30 June 2012	30 June 2011
	\$'000	\$'000
Financial Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	141,784	30,051
Trade and other receivables	26,459	3,407
Available for sale investments	3,714	784
	171,957	34,242
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables	110,440	19,496
Interest bearing liabilities	35,845	44,753
	146,285	64,249

a) Market Risk

Currency Risk

The Group's exposure to currency risk is limited to the impact of currency fluctuations on some of the input costs e.g. diesel, steel etc. At the balance date the Group holds no financial assets or liabilities which are exposed to foreign currency risk.

Commodity Price Risk

The Group is currently exposed to the risk of fluctuations in prevailing market commodity prices on the gold and silver currently produced from the Pajingo, Cracow, Mt Rawdon and Edna May gold mine. The Group has in place physical gold delivery contracts covering sales of 224,177 ozs of gold at a price of A\$1,573 per ounce to be delivered over a period of approximately 4 years (refer to Note 27, 2011: 286,336 ozs).

Interest Rate Risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from cash on hand invested in term deposits and borrowings. Short term deposits of \$112.150 million (2011: Nil) are placed with investment grade banks in Australia for time frames to ensure an appropriate balance between liquidity and interest rate earned. Borrowings of \$31.5 million (2011: \$47.5 million) incur interest at a variable rate and the Group has not entered into interest rate swap contracts or similar derivative financial instruments to hedge the fluctuations in interest rates given the size and maturity of the borrowings. An increase/decrease of variable interest rates of 0.25% will result in an increase/ decrease \$78,750 in interest expense relating to debt and \$244,000 in interest income relating to term deposits.

b) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers and investment securities. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk given customers and banks have investment grade credit ratings.

c) Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and term deposits, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. The Group manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.

Maturities of financial liabilities

The following are the Group's contractual maturities of financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments and excluding the impact of netting agreements: The amounts disclosed in the tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows (including both interest and principal cash flows expected) using contractual maturities and the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay financial liabilities.

Contractual maturities of financial liabilities (A\$'000)	Less than 1 year	1-2 years	2-5 years	Over 5 years	Total contractual cash flows	Carrying amount

(d) Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures requires disclosure of fair value measurements by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:

• • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
• • Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices); and
• • Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

The following table presents the Group's assets measured and recognised at fair value at 30 June 2012 and 30 June 2011:

	30 June 2012			30 June 2011
A\$'000	Level 1	Level 2	Total	Level 1	Level 2	Total
Available for sale financial assets
Options in Monto Minerals	-	210	210	-	-	-
Shares available for sale	3,504	-	3,504	784	-	784
Total financial assets held at fair value	3,504	210	3,714	784	-	784

The shares in Monto Minerals and Renaissance Minerals are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and recorded at fair value with reference to the listed price at balance sheet date. The options in Monto Minerals are recorded by using Black-Scholes valuation model to determine the fair value of the options with reference to the strike price of the options, volatility and term. An increase/decrease of 5% in the share price of the listed investments will result in an increase/ decrease of \$175,200 (2011: \$39,000) through fair value reserves for the listed shares.

The carrying amounts of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments. The fair value of current borrowings approximates the carrying amount, as the impact of discounting is not significant.

4. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Description of segments

The Group's operations are all conducted in the mining industry in Australia.

The Group has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Executive Chairman and the senior leadership team (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The presentation of segment information has changed from the previous period as a result of changes in management and the new structure of the larger Evolution Group.

The Group's four operational mine sites and Corporate are each treated as individual operating segment. Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment.

Corporate includes the Mt Carlton asset under construction that was acquired as part of the Conquest acquisition. The remainder of Corporate includes transaction costs related to the merger and asset acquisitions, share-based payment expenses and other corporate expenditures supporting the business during the year.

The Group makes full provision for the future cost of rehabilitating mine sites and related production facilities on a discounted basis at the time of developing the mines and installing and using those facilities. The rehabilitation provision represents the present value of rehabilitation costs related to the Group's mine sites. The nature of these costs includes dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines and tailings dams, dismantling operating facilities, closure of plant and waste sites, and restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of affected areas.

For the purposes of providing for the rehabilitation obligation at all mines it has been assumed rehabilitation costs will be incurred at the end of the mine's useful life. The timing of this obligation is likely to change depending on a number of factors which may impact mine life including the identified reserve and resource, gold prices and costs of production which all impact the economic viability of the projects.

Provisions have been determined with reference to the Group's internal estimates and consultation with the Department of Environment and Resource Management. As noted in this report the Twin Hills project is currently on a care and maintenance program. A provision has been made to cover disturbance to date. Consultation is currently in process with the Department of Environment and Resource Management to reduce the environmental bond required at this site, in line with management's assessment of the rehabilitation provision required. Provision estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to assumptions. However actual rehabilitation costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary decommissioning works required which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.

Capital Management

Capital is defined as the equity of the Company. The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, so as to maintain a strong capital base sufficient to maintain future exploration and development of its projects. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group's focus has been to raise sufficient funds through equity to fund capital investment in the Mt Carlton project and exploration and evaluation activities.

The Group monitors its liquidity through regular cash flow forecasts.

22. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On 15 June 2011, Evolution Mining Limited and Conquest Mining Limited announced that they had entered into a binding share purchase agreement to implement a transaction that would result in the creation of a leading growth-focused Australian gold company through an all-scrip merger of equals.

In a separate but inter-conditional transaction, Evolution Mining Limited acquired 100% of the Mt Rawdon Gold Project and 70% of the Cracow Gold Project from Newcrest Mining Limited. All regulatory approvals were obtained 17 October 2011. The scheme became effective and the asset acquisitions were completed on 2 November 2011.

Acquisition of Conquest Mining Limited and subsidiaries ('Conquest')

The acquisition date of the Conquest Group by Evolution was 17 October 2011.

Consideration comprised the issue of Evolution Mining fully paid ordinary shares to eligible Conquest shareholders and the replacement of certain Conquest Group options. The new shares were issued at a ratio of 0.3 new shares to 1 Conquest share.

A total of 180,401,006 fully paid ordinary shares were issued to Conquest shareholders as consideration. These shares were valued at \$311.733 million based upon the closing share price on the date of acquisition. In addition, 11,324,738 Evolution options were issued as replacement options to Conquest option holders. These options were valued at \$7.525 million at the date of acquisition using a Black Scholes model.

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Conquest Group as at the date of acquisition were:

Acquisition of the Mt Rawdon Gold Mine and 70% of the Cracow Gold Mine from Newcrest Mining Limited ('Newcrest')

On 2 November 2011, being the acquisition date for the purpose of this financial report, Evolution acquired a 100% interest in the Mt Rawdon gold mine and the remaining 70% of interest in Cracow gold mine. Evolution previously held a 30% joint venture interest in the Cracow gold mine through its subsidiaries. The transactions were asset acquisitions however certain employees and other elements required to continue the operation of the mine were transferred with the assets acquired.

These transactions have been accounted for as business combinations in this financial report.

The total consideration transferred consisted of the issuing of 231,082,631 Evolution shares to a nominee of Newcrest. The fair value of shares issued was based upon the closing company share price on 2 November 2011.

The fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Cracow Gold Project (70% interest) and the Mt Rawdon gold project as at the date of acquisition were:

	Acquisition date fair values \$'000
Trade and other receivables	350
Inventories	15,500
Property, plant and equipment	76,451
Mine development and exploration	291,400
Deferred tax asset	8,793
Total Assets	392,494
Trade and other payables	1,383
Provisions	19,177
Total Liabilities	20,560
Fair value of net identifiable assets	371,934
Add: Goodwill	18,365
Net assets acquired	390,299

Consideration issued and paid for the above transaction was as follows:

	\$'000
Shares issued, at fair value	390,299
Total consideration	390,299
The net cash inflow from the above transaction was as follows:
Net cash acquired	-
Net consolidated cash inflow	-

On 2 November 2011, Evolution gained control of the Cracow gold mine as it increased its interest in the project from 30% to 100%. Evolution remeasured its 30% equity investment in Cracow resulting in a gain of \$2.757 million which has been recognised as an income item separately disclosed as a line item in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. The acquisition-date fair value of the 30% equity interest in Cracow was \$48.509 million.

Acquisition costs recognised with respect to the above business combinations were \$28.518 million.

The acquired entities contributed operating revenue of \$329.216 million and net profit before tax of \$83.793 million to the Group for the period. If these acquisitions had occurred on 1 July 2011 consolidated operating revenue and consolidated profit before tax for the year ended 30 June 2012 would have increased by \$105.707 million and \$27.592 million respectively.

Goodwill was recognised as a result of the acquisition as follows:

	\$'000
Total consideration	390,299
Less: fair value of net identifiable assets	(371,934)
	18,365

Goodwill has been recognised in the above business combinations due to the synergies which result from the transaction. These benefits include the following: • The acquisitions allow Evolution to control 100% of the Cracow Gold Mine. The acquisition of the remaining interest will allow Evolution to better manage

• and prioritise exploration and development expenditure for the growth and sustainability of the mine. • The increased sized of the Group will allow for improved access to debt and equity markets.
• • Cost savings may eventuate from the elimination of duplicated corporate structures, improved procurement power and shared services functions.

23. SHARE BASED PAYMENTs

(a) Types of share based payment plans

Evolution has two option and performance rights plans in existence:

Employee Share Option and Performance Rights Plan ('ESOP')

ESOPRP was established and approved at the Annual General Meeting on 23 November 2010, and amended on 19 October 2011. The plan permits the Company, at the discretion of the Directors, to grant both options and performance rights over unissued ordinary shares of the Company to eligible Directors and members of staff as specified in the plan rules.

Employees and Contractors Option Plan ('ECOP')

An ECOP was established and approved at the Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2008. The plan permits the Company, at the discretion of the Directors, to grant options over unissued ordinary shares of the Company to eligible Directors, members of staff and contractors as specified in the plan rules. No further options will be issued under this plan.

(b) Recognised share based payment expenses

	30 June 2012 \$'000	30 June 2011 \$'000
Expense arising from equity settled share based payment transactions recognised in profit and loss	2,299	560

During the year Evolution issued 11,324,738 unquoted options as consideration for the cancellation of outstanding options previously held by Conquest option holders. The options were issued at various exercise prises and expiry dates. All options were fully vested and no further service period was required for the replacement options. All replacement options were issued under the ESOP on equivalent terms and conditions as the original grant by Conquest. The options had a fair value of \$7,525,000.

(c) Summary and movement of options on issue

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) in Australian Dollars (\$) of, and movements in, share options issued during the period:

	30 June 2012 Number	30 June 2012 WAEP	30 June 2011 Number	30 June 2011 WAEP

Outstanding at the end of the year	13,726,474	1.77	13,917,166	1.01
Exercisable at the end of the year	13,726,474	1.78	13,917,166	1.01

(i) The replacement options of 11,324,738 comprise the following:

	Number
Options issued under ECOP	488,651
Options issued under ESOP	8,586,087
Options issued outside of ECOP and ESOP:
Options acquired by Mr Klein from Southern Cross Equities	600,000
Options issued to Baker Steel Capital Managers	1,650,000
Total	11,324,738

The weighted average remaining contractual life of options outstanding at the end of the financial year was 3.0 years (2011: 2.8 years) with exercise prices ranging from \$0.609 to \$3.062. The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was \$0.664 (2011: \$0.98).

The outstanding balance as at 30 June 2012 is represented by:

Options issued as part of the ECOP

• 613,641 options with an exercise price ranging from \$0.609 to \$0.829
• 886,369 options with an exercise price ranging from \$1.049 to \$1.269
• 676,306 options with an exercise price ranging from \$1.472 to \$1.936

Options issued outside both the ECOP and ESOP

• 600,000 options with an exercise price of \$3.062
• 1,650,000 options with an exercise price of \$1.962

(d) Summary and movement of performance rights on issue as part of ESOP

The following table illustrates the number and weighted average exercise prices (WAEP) in Australian Dollars (\$) of, and movements in, performance rights issued during the year:

	30 June 2012 Number	30 June 2012 WAEP (\$)	30 June 2011 Number	30 June 2011 WAEP (\$)
Outstanding at the beginning of the period (1 July)	1,151,000	-	-	-
Performance rights granted during the period	3,668,344	-	1,151,000	-
Exercised during the period	(1,026,000)	-
Lapsed during the period	(125,000)	-	-	-
Forfeited during the year	(87,586)	-	-	-
Outstanding at the end of the period	3,580,758	-	1,151,000	-
Exercisable at the end of the period	-	-	-	-

The weighted average fair value of performance rights granted during the year was \$1.411 (2011: \$1.31).

(e) Fair value determination

Performance rights

During the year, Evolution issued two equal tranches of performance rights which will be tested on 30 June 2013 and 30 June 2014. They have three performance components: a market-based TSR condition, and two non-market based conditions, being C1 condition and continued employment at the vesting date.

(i) TSR Performance Right valuation

The fair value of the TSR Performance Rights (market-based condition) was estimated at the date of grant using Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the awards were granted.

(ii) C1 Performance Right valuation

In accordance with the rules of the plan, the valuation of the C1 Performance Rights (non-market based performance condition) is based on information from other companies in the comparator group and not a market price or market condition. The fair value before considering expected C1 rankings against the Comparator is essentially the share price on grant date as future dividends cannot be reliably estimated.

The following tables list the inputs to the models used for the performance rights granted for the year:

	TSR	TSR	C1	C1
	Tranche 1	Tranche 2	Tranche 1	Tranche 2
November 2011 rights issue
Spot price (\$)	1.72	1.72	1.72	1.72
Risk-free rate (%)	3.13	3.15	3.13	3.15
Term (years)	1.6	2.6	1.6	2.6
Volatility	50%	50%	50%	50%
February/April 2012 rights issue
Spot price (\$)	1.87	1.87	1.87	1.87
Risk-free rate (%)	3.32	3.21	3.32	3.21
Term (years)	1.4	2.4	1.4	2.4
Volatility	50%	50%	50%	50%

Conquest replacement options:

The fair value of the Conquest Mining replacement options was determined using a Black-Scholes model.

The following table lists the inputs to the models used to determine the fair value of the replacement options granted during the year:

Replacement options issued to Conquest option holders

Grant Date	17 October 2011
Spot Price (\$)	1.77
Risk-free rate (%)	3.7
Term (years)	Various
Volatility (%)	50%

The volatility above was determined with reference to historical volatility but also incorporates factors that management believes will impact the actual volatility of the Company's shares in future periods.

24. EARNINGS PER SHARE

	Year ended	Year ended
	30 June 2012	30 June 2011
Basic earnings profit /(loss) per share (cents per share)	7.10	(1.37)
Diluted earnings profit /(loss) per share (cents per share)	6.94	(1.37)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares on issue used in the calculation of basic earnings per share	525,862,667	168,728,054
Effect of dilution:
Share options and performance rights	13,270,640	-
Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share	537,882,443	168,728,054

Basic earnings per share ('EPS') is calculated by dividing the net profit/(loss) after income tax attributable to members of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Company outstanding during the financial year. Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The counterparty to the physical gold delivery contract is Macquarie Bank Limited ('Macquarie'). The contracts are settled on a quarterly basis by physical delivery of gold per Macquarie's instructions.

As a result no derivatives are required to be recognised. The Company has no other gold sale commitments with respect to its current operations.
