  1. Mt Carlton yet to achieve commercial production – operating costs have been capitalised

  2. Gold plus payable silver from the A39 deposit at Mt Carlton. A39 silver production in the June Quarter is converted to gold equivalent using a gold to silver ratio of 1:61.7 – based on the average gold and silver prices during the quarter

  3. June quarter production of 112,559oz reported here is a 34oz increase on the production figure released to ASX on 4 July 2013 – as a result of final inventory adjustments completed subsequent to 4 July 2013

  4. Price related inventory adjustment for stockpiles held at net realisable value

  5. Depreciation & Amortisation - Acquisition, represents the depreciation and amortisation on the fair value uplift of asset values due to business combinations

  6. Depreciation & Amortisation - Operations, represents the depreciation and amortisation on book value of asset and, where applicable, the estimated cost of future mine development
