OVERVIEW

Group gold production for the March 2016 quarter was a record 208,963 ounces. This was a 3% increase compared to the prior quarter (Dec qtr: 203,700oz). Average C1 cash costs were A$752/oz (Sep qtr: A$759/oz) and AISC[1] was A$1,015/oz (Dec qtr: A$1,016/oz).

Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7215, Evolution’s Group C1 costs equated to US$543/oz and AISC to US$732/oz.

June 2016 quarter production is expected to meet or exceed the results of the March 2016 quarter. Group FY16 capital expenditure is now expected to be at or below the bottom end of the original guidance range of A$190.0 – A$235.0 million.

In the March 2016 quarter Evolution delivered a record operating mine cash flow of A$154.9 million and net mine cash flow, post all sustaining and major capital, of A$105.8 million (Dec qtr: A$141.9 million; A$97.8 million).

Cowal delivered another very strong quarter achieving record production of 70,803 ounces at a C1 cash cost of A$584/oz (US$421/oz) and AISC of A$757/oz (US$546/oz).

The strong operational cash flow allowed Evolution to make accelerated debt repayments totalling A$80.0 million during the March quarter. Since the beginning of September 2015 total debt outstanding has been reduced by A$207.0 million to A$400.0 million. Outstanding debt comprises of A$130.0 million in the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolver Facility and A$270.0 million in the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility. The Group cash balance at 31 March 2016 was A$35.3 million.

Exploration activities continue to yield exciting results with good drill intercepts reported at most of the operations. Highlights included significant high-grade gold intersections from Johnson’s Rest at Mungari, including 10m (8.7m etw) grading 22.32g/t Au from 118m (BDR086). Also at Mungari, resource definition drilling has extended mineralisation at both the Frog’s Leg underground and White Foil open pit beyond the 31 December 2015 Ore Reserve limits. Infill drilling at Mt Carlton is confirming the presence of high sulphidation structures some 75m below and 200m north of the 31 December 2015 Mineral Resource limits. At Pajingo a maiden Mineral Resource was reported at Camembert of 445kt grading 6.8g/t for 98koz. At Cracow resource definition drilling confirmed the depth extension of the high-grade mineralisation at Coronation with the best intersection returning 4.7m (4.2m etw) grading 50.91g/t Au (CNU055A).

Evolution today announced the outcome of its annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates. Group Ore Reserves increased by 12% from 5.20 million ounces to 5.85 million ounces after accounting for depletion of 979,000 ounces. No change was made to the gold price assumption of A$1,350 per ounce in estimating the Reserves. Group Mineral Resources increased by 10% from 12.74 million ounces to 14.01 million ounces. Full details can be found in the separate announcement released 21 April 2016 entitled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement”.

OPERATIONS

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal produced 70,803oz of gold in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$584/oz and AISC of A$757/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 54,792oz, C1 A$725/oz and AISC A$839/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$59.4 million. Cowal delivered a net mine cash flow of A$52.5 million, post sustaining capital of A$6.9 million.

Cash costs per ounce were materially lower due largely to increased production and lower processing costs. As planned, processed grades improved to 1.41g/t relative to 1.18g/t in the December 2015 quarter. Recoveries of 83.2% were achieved during the March quarter.

Mining activities focussed on the Stage G cutback to a current operating level of 939mRL. The June 2016 quarter will see mining continue in the Stage G cutback.

Evolution today released an updated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement for 31 December 2015. Cowal saw an addition to Ore Reserves of 976,000 ounces prior to mining depletion. The increase was largely due to E42 pit design changes and reduced cost assumptions.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 33,963oz of gold in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$934/oz and AISC of A$1,227/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 40,692oz, C1 A$760/oz and AISC A$961/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$26.8 million. Mungari delivered a net mine cash flow of A$16.4 million, post sustaining capital and major capital of A$10.4 million.

Frog’s Leg production was affected due to a seismic event in January which resulted in the Mist orebody being taken offline for rehabilitation for most of the quarter. This area started to come back online in March once significant ground support upgrades were in place. The June 2016 quarter is expected to see a return to normal development and production activities.

Mining of the White Foil open pit focussed on the Stage 2A for high grade ore and the 2B cutback. Total open pit material movements were heavily impacted by rain and lightning events.

The processing plant achieved a record of 155kt milled for the month of March. This was a strong performance considering a high portion of blend contained the harder White Foil ore.

The operation is continuing to review the cost base and identify opportunities for reductions. Mungari moved to an owner-operator for shotcrete activities in March. This will result in reduced ground support costs by combining these activities with already established paste-fill operations.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 14,691oz of gold at C1 cash cost of A$1,029/oz and AISC of A$1,215/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 19,777oz, cash cost A$965/oz, AISC A$1,227/oz).

Seasonal storms in January and February resulted in heavy rainfall events at Mt Rawdon which restricted access to higher-grade ore from the Stage 3 pit floor. Pumping will continue throughout the fourth quarter which will improve access to the Stage 3 pit floor.

Capital waste movement continued to focus on the north-eastern section of the Stage 4 cutback. Ore from this area is reconciling positively against the resource model.

OPERATIONS

Stage 4 ore from the upper lower-grade benches (470kt at 0.66g/t) provided the majority of mill feed. Stage 3 ore (170kt at 0.96g/t) and low-grade stockpiled material was also processed during the quarter.

The accelerated stripping capital program at Mt Rawdon is nearing completion. The strip ratio is expected to drop from approximately 4.4:1 in FY16 down to approximately 2.1:1 in FY17 and FY18. The strip ratio for the remainder of the life of mine post FY18 is below 1.0:1.

By its usual high standards Mt Rawdon has had two consecutive poor quarters in December 2015 and March 2016 which were both heavily impacted by weather events. Evolution is confident the operation is back on track for a strong performance in the June 2016 quarter.

Edna May, Western Australia (100%)

Gold production of 17,098oz was achieved in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$1,521/oz and AISC of A$1,658/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 18,266oz, C1 cash cost A$1,282/oz, AISC A$1,494/oz). Unit costs increased due to plant shutdowns, higher sustaining capital expenditure and increased drilling activity.

Mining was focussed on the southern and northeast sections of the Stage 2 cutback. Grades were lower than the previous quarter in line with the mine plan. A return to higher grade ore at the base of the pit is anticipated in the June 2016 quarter.

The processing plant performance was adversely affected by 96 hours of scheduled shutdowns and more than 60 hours of weather related power outages.

The return to better grades and improved plant availability is expected to result in an improved performance in the June 2016 quarter.

Board approval was received during the quarter for the commencement of Stage 1 of the underground development. The capital investment of A$16.0 million targets an initial resource of approximately 200,000 ounces. Underground development will commence in the June 2016 quarter with first production expected in FY18. A feasibility study is currently being undertaken for Stage 2 of the underground development.

Cracow, Queensland (100%)

Cracow produced 23,335oz of gold in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$697/oz, and AISC of A$858/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 22,120oz, C1 A$754/oz, AISC A$1,109/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$19.0 million. Cracow delivered a net mine cash flow of A$13.4 million, post sustaining and major capital of A$5.6 million.

The primary ore sources were the Kilkenny, Empire, Tipperary, and Klondyke ore bodies. Mining costs were lower largely due to a reduction in development activity. Production from the Klondyke ore source also contributed to lower unit costs due to its close proximity to the surface.

Assay results returned from drilling at Coronation have confirmed the depth extension of high-grade mineralisation, some 50m below the December 2015 resource limits. Further details are provided in the exploration section of this report.

Pajingo, Queensland (100%)

Pajingo produced 19,736oz of gold in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$608/oz and an AISC of A$980/oz (Dec 2015 qtr: 18,026oz, C1 A$812/oz and AISC A$1,166/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$18.6 million. Pajingo delivered a net mine cash flow of A$11.6 million, post sustaining and major capital of A$7.1 million.

Improved grade from some high-grade Sonia Splay stopes and more efficient underground mining operations resulted in higher production ounces and lower costs for the quarter.

The primary ore sources continued to be the Sonia East, Sonia Splays, Zed East and Zed West orebodies. Additional targets were identified in the upper remnant areas of these lodes via a recent engineering and geological review.

A new tailings facility was permitted during the quarter to provide approximately 2.5 years of tails storage.

CORPORATE

Financials

The March quarter improved on Evolution’s strong performance so far this year with a record operating mine cash flow of A$154.9 million (Dec 2015 qtr: A$142.0 million) and a record net mine cash flow of A$105.8 million (Dec 2015 qtr: A$97.8 million).

The record net cash flow highlights the quality of the recently acquired assets with strong contributions from Cowal (A$52.5 million) and Mungari (A$16.5 million). Mt Carlton continued its outstanding year with a net mine cash flow of A$21.4 million.

Year to Date (March 16) 444.1 (58.0) (77.4) 308.6

Total capital expenditure for the quarter was A$49.1 million (Dec 2015 qtr: A$44.2 million). The higher capital expenditure in the March quarter related to timing of sustaining projects at Cowal and Mungari which was offset by lower expenditure at some other sites.

Discovery expenditure totalled A$5.4 million (Dec 2015 qtr: A$9.0 million). The reduction was predominantly due to a lower spend at the Tennant Creek JV with Emmerson Resources Limited. Maintaining low corporate administration costs remained a priority which amounted to A$5.6 million for the quarter (Dec 2015 qtr: A$6.0 million).

In line with previous quarters, and on the back of another record quarter of cash generation, Evolution made further inroads into reducing its debt position and strengthening its balance sheet. The company made early repayments totalling A$80.0 million into the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility during the quarter. This brings the year to date total debt repaid to A$207.0 million. In addition to debt repayments this year, expenditure of A$86.8 million related to asset acquisition costs and integration activities has been incurred.

As at the end of March 2016 the total debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolving and Term Facility was A$400.0 million. This is comprised of A$130.0 million in the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolver Facility and A$270.0 million in the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility. The undrawn amount of the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolver Facility remains at A$170.0 million.

Evolution has now met all of its debt repayment obligations through until the end of December 2016.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Near mine exploration

Exploration drilling has focussed on the Johnson’s Rest/Broads Dam area located 30km north-west of the Mungari processing plant. A potential new discovery has been identified with significant high-grade gold intersections returned from three adjacent holes (Figures 1 and 2). These holes define a mineralised zone increasing in thickness and gold tenor at depth from approximately 15m to 100m vertically below surface. Significant intercepts[1] include:

  • 10m (8.66m etw) grading 22.32g/t Au from 118m (BDRC086)

  • 14m (12.12m etw) grading 2.93g/t Au from 63m (BDRC085)

Drilling has now intersected mineralisation with a strike length of 1,500m along the Zuleika Shear Zone. Mineralisation remains open at depth and along strike to the south. Drilling will continue to test the extent of this mineralisation next quarter.

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

At Cowal, drilling continued to test for extensions to the north and south of the known orebodies. This work is guided by the improved 3D geology models. Drilling has commenced in and around the known resources, with significant drill programs planned for the remainder of FY16 and FY17 totalling approximately 30,000m. The aim is to define and extend mineralisation beyond the E42 Ore Reserve pit limits.

Near mine exploration

E46 west resource definition diamond drilling program

Five holes were drilled to the west of E46 to test for the strike extension of gold mineralisation along the west dipping sediment-diorite contact. Some of the holes intersected alteration in the zone of interest. Assay results from oxidised rock in drill hole E46D3239 returned 14m grading 1.55g/t Au from 26m including 2m grading 4.89g/t Au from 29m and 1m grading 8.62g/t Au from 36m.

Resource definition drilling

Two drill programs comprising a total 10 holes for 1,100 metres were drilled during the March quarter. The first program was collared within the E42 pit and targeted high-grade mineralisation below the Dec 2015 Ore Reserve design. The second program aimed to extend the mineralised system beyond the limits of drilling to the south-west of the E42 pit. Significant intersections include:

  • 9.0m grading 4.65g/t Au from 48m (E42RC1681)

  • 10.0m grading 6.93g/t Au from 23m (E42RC1697)

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Resource definition drilling

At Mt Carlton, an infill drilling program was conducted to test for the continuation of the high-grade mineralisation in the west and east lodes. The aim of the program was to identify opportunities for an underground resource to the north and east; and to increase the confidence of the Mineral Resource classification outside of the V2 open pit.

Geological logging and assaying has confirmed the presence of mineralised textures typical of the highsulphidation structures outside of the Dec 2015 Mineral Resource limits and significant intersections returned include:

  • 12m (10.03m etw) grading 3.07g/t Au from 170m (HC16DD1150)

  • 12m (10.39m etw) grading 2.30g/t Au from 162m (HC16DD1159)

  • 18m (10.44m etw) grading 3.45g/t Au from 176m (HC16DD1162)

Concurrent to the drilling program, a major review of the geology, structure and mineralisation is underway to enhance the understanding of the mineral controls at the Mt Carlton high-sulphidation deposit. The aim of the review is to identify drill targets for open pit and underground growth opportunities immediately to the north and below the V2 pit.

Resource definition drilling

Drilling occurred throughout the underground mine targeting extensions or infilling known resources. The surface drilling targeted the upper extents of the Anne and Janet B ore bodies as well as the depth extension below the Scott lode open pit. The Anne and Janet B drilling results were encouraging with the best intersections including:

  • 15.4m (12.0m etw) grading 7.4g/t Au including 6.4m (4.4m etw) grading 15.9g/t Au (JMRD4032)

  • 3.5m (2.0m etw) grading 25.6g/t Au (JMRD4036)

Near mine exploration

Further drill testing of the G, J, I and Phoenix South faults was undertaken during the quarter. To date all holes have intersected narrow fault zones containing vein material and have returned anomalous results. Further drill testing will continue in the June quarter to target areas of dilation in the vein structures. In addition, drilling was completed at Roses Pride North and underground diamond drilling commenced to test the Griffin Corridor.

Resource Definition Drilling

Assay results returned from the Coronation drilling have confirmed the depth extension of high-grade mineralisation, some 50m below the December 2015 resource limits. Significant intersections returned at Coronation include:

  • 4.7m (4.2m etw) grading 50.91g/t Au (CNU055A)

  • 3.2m (2.7 m etw) grading 8.27g/t Au (CUN056)

  • 1.1m (0.8m etw) grading 19.75g/t Au (CNU058)

Edna May, Western Australia (100%)

Two surface diamond holes were drilled in the quarter to test for extension of the Edna May Gneiss unit, host to the Edna May mineralisation. This drilling has demonstrated that the Edna May Gneiss is prospective at depth. The drill holes intersected this unit 200m further east than previously known. Further drilling is required to test for the presence of high-grade mineralisation. The Edna May Underground Mineral Resource is open at depth and along strike to the east.

All diamond core drilled from surface was half cored sampled
and the remaining half was retained. Diamond core drilled
from underground was predominantly whole core sampled
and submitted for analysis. A small proportion of all
underground diamond core holes was half core sampled and
the remaining core retained for further geological or
metallurgical analysis

All RC samples were split by a cone or a riffle splitter and
collected into a sequenced calico bag. Any wet samples that
could not be riffle split were dried then riffle split.

Sample preparation of RC and diamond samples was
undertaken by external laboratories according to the sample
preparation and assaying protocol established to maximise
representivity for the Mungari mineralisation. Laboratories
performance was monitored as part of Evolution’s QAQC
procedure. Regular laboratory inspections were undertaken
to monitor the laboratories compliance to the Mungari
sampling and sample preparation protocol.

The sample and size (2.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size
(>85% passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly
utilised practice for effective sample representivity for gold
deposits within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Quality control procedures adopted to maximise sample
representivity for all sub-sampling stages include the
collection of field and laboratory duplicates and the insertion of
certified reference material as assay standards (1 in 20) and
the insertion of blank samples (1 in 75) or at the geologist’s
discretion. Coarse blank material is routinely submitted for
assay and is inserted into each mineralised zone where
possible. The quality control performance was monitored as
part of Evolution’s QAQC procedure.

The sample preparation has been conducted by commercial
laboratories. All samples are oven dried (between 85°C and
105°C), jaw crushed to nominal <3mm and if required split by
a rotary splitter device to a maximum sample weight of 3.5kg
as required. The primary sample is then pulverised in a one
stage process, using a LM5 pulveriser, to a particle size of
>85% passing 75um. Approximately 200g of the primary
sample is extracted by spatula to a numbered paper pulp bag
that is used for a 50g fire assay charge. The pulp is retained
and the bulk residue is disposed of after two months.

Measures taken to ensure sample representivity include the
collection of field duplicates during RC drilling at a frequency
rate of 5%, and quarter core sampling of surface diamond drill
holes. Duplicate samples for both RC chips and diamond
core are collected during the sample preparation pulverisation
stage. A comparison of the duplicate samples vs. the primary
sample assay result was undertaken as part of Evolution’s
QAQC protocol. It is considered that all sub-sampling and lab
preparations are consistent with other laboratories in Australia
and are satisfactory for the intended purpose

The sample sizes are considered appropriate and in line with
industrystandards.

appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures
relative to the mineralisation types.

Fire assay is designed to measure the total gold within a
sample. Fire assay has been confirmed as a suitable
technique for orogenic type mineralisation. It has been
extensively used throughout the Goldfields region. Screen fire
assay and LeachWELL / bottle roll analysis techniques have
also been used to validate the fire assay techniques.

The technique utilised a 30g, 40g or 50g sample charge with a
lead flux, which is decomposed in a furnace, with the prill
being totally digested by 2 acids (HCI and HN03) before the
gold content is determined by an AAS machine.

No geophysical tools or other remote sensing instruments
were
utilised
for
reporting
or
interpretation
of
gold
mineralisation.

Quality control samples were routinely inserted into the
sampling sequence and were also inserted either inside or
around the expected zones of mineralisation. The intent of the
procedure for reviewing the performance of certified standard
reference material is to examine for any erroneous results (a
result outside of the expected statistically derived tolerance
limits) and to validate if required; the acceptable levels of
accuracy and precision for all stages of the sampling and
analytical process. Typically batches which fail quality control
checks are re-analysed.

Independent internal or external verification of significant
intercepts is not routinely completed. The quality control /
quality assurance (QAQC) process ensures the intercepts are
as representative for the orogenic gold systems. Half core and
sample pulps are retained at Mungari if further verification is
required.

The twinning of holes is not a common practice undertaken at
Mungari. The face sample and drill hole data with the mill
reconciliation data is of sufficient density to validate
neighbouring samples. Data which is inconsistent with the
known geology undergoes further verification to ensure its
quality.

All sample and assay information is stored utilising the
acQuire database software system. Data undergoes QAQC
validation prior to being accepted and loaded into the
database.
Assay

All surface drill holes at Mungari have been surveyed for
easting, northing and reduced level. Recent data is collected
and stored in MGA 94 Zone 51 and AHD.

Resource drill hole collar positions are surveyed by the site-
based survey department or contract surveyors (utilising a
differential GPS or conventional surveying techniques, with
reference to a known base station) with a precision of less
than 0.2m.

Underground down hole surveys consist of regular spaced
digital single-shot borehole camera shots (generally 30m apart
down hole), and digital electronic multi-shot surveys (generally
3m apart down hole). In instances where strong ground
magnetics affect the accuracy of the measured azimuth
reading, then these results are removed. The RC and surface
drill hole survey data consists of surveys taken utilising north
seeking gyro instruments. Gyro survey measurements are
obtained every 5 to 10m down hole. A proportion of these
holes are downhole surveyed using a digital single shot
survey technique similar to that of the underground holes,
except the down-hole surveymeasurement is at a spacing

Whether sample compositing has

The nominal drill spacing for Exploration drilling is 80m x 80m
or wider and for Resource Definition is 40m x 40m or in some
areas 20m x 20m. This spacing includes data that has been
verified from previous exploration activities on the project.

Data spacing and distribution is considered sufficient for
establishing geological continuity and grade variability
appropriate for classifying a Mineral Resource.

Sample compositing was not applied due to the often narrow
mineralised zones.

structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves
unbiased
sampling
of

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

Mineralisation at Frog’s Leg is hosted within a number of
steeply dipping NNW-SSE structures that are vertical or
steeply (~80 degrees) to the west. Surface and underground
drilling intersect the mineralisation at an angle to minimise
bias.

Mineralisation at White Foil is hosted within a brittle quartz
gabbro unit. The gold is associated with quartz stockworks.
Structural studies confirms the presence of two main vein sets
at White Foil with a dominant moderately NNW dipping set
(51º/346º dip and dip direction) and a secondary SSE dipping
set (56º/174º dip and dip direction).. An identifiable systematic
bias associated with drilling direction has not been
established. The main strike to the gabbro unit is NNW-SSE
and it plunges steeply towards the NNE. The predominant drill
direction was to the SE.

Surface holes and underground resource holes typically
intersect at an angle to the mineralisation and there is no
observed bias associated with drilling orientation.

The relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures at Mungari is not
considered to have introduced a sampling bias and is not
considered to be material. In a minority of instances on
extreme edges at the Frog’s Leg deposit the drill angle is sub
parallel with the lodes and does not intersect the width of the
mineralisation.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Chain of custody protocols to ensure the security of samples
were followed. Prior to submission, samples were retained on
site, access to the samples were restricted. Collected samples
are dropped off at the respective commercial laboratories in
Kalgoorlie. The laboratories are contained within a secured
fenced compound. Access into the laboratory is restricted and
movements of personnel and the samples are tracked under
supervision of the laboratory staff. During some drill
campaigns some samples are collected directly from site by
the commercial laboratory. While various laboratories have
been used, the chain of custody and sample security protocols
have remained similar.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

The Mungari geology and drilling database was reviewed by
acQuire in December 2015 and no material issues were
identified.

The initial discovery of Frog’s Leg was made by Mines and
Resources Australia Ltd who was a precursor company to La
Mancha Resources Australia Pty Ltd. The deposit was
discovered in 2000 as a result of following up on regional
anomalism identified through rotary air blast (RAB) and aircore
drilling. La Mancha was acquired by Evolution in August 2015.

At White Foil the initial anomaly was identified by Afmeco who
found the Kopai trend which eventually included White Foil.
The discovery was made in 1996 by Mines and Resources

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Frog’s Leg deposit is located in the southern portion of the
Kundana mining area, within the Achaean Norseman-Wiluna
greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The
Kundana gold deposits are structurally related to the Zuleika
Shear Zone, a regional NNW-trending shear zone that
juxtaposes the Ora Banda domain to the east and the
Coolgardie domain to the west. The Frog’s Leg deposit is
located on the sheared contact between the porphyritic “cat
rock” (regionally known as the Victorious Basalt) and
volcaniclastic rocks of Black Flag Beds

The White Foil gold deposit is a quartz stockwork hosted in a
gabbro. The gabbro is differentiated broadly into a quartz-rich
phase in the west. This quartz gabbro unit is the most
hydrothermally altered unit and contains the bulk of the gold
mineralisation. The White Foil deposit is bounded to the west
by hangingwall volcaniclastic rocks. To the east mineralisation
becomes irregular and uneconomic in the more melanocratic
phase of gabbro. Mineralisation is controlled by sheeted
systems of stockwork veining, which has imparted strong
alteration and sulphidation to the quartz gabbro.

The Johnson’s Rest prospect is located in the northern portion
of the Mungari tenements and is structurally related to the
Zuleika Shear Zone and the sympathetic Johnson’s Rest shear
zone. Mineralisation is observed to occur close to a sheared
contact between a basalt, high magnesium basalt and an
adjacenthangingwallultramafic

cases more explanation may be

coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules)

Holes in this report consist of Reverse Circulation (RC), Air-Core
(AC) and diamond core drilling.

AC holes were designed on a nominal even spaced grid pattern
to test an area of geochemical and geophysical anomalism.
RC/Diamond drill holes were positioned strategically to infill
gaps in the existing drill data set and test extensions of known
lodes/mineralised structures as well as follow up anomalous air-
core drilling results. Collar and down hole surveys were utilised
to accurately record final locations. Industry standard sampling,
assaying and QA/QC practices were applied to all holes.

Drill core was halved with a diamond saw in 1 m intervals,
irrespective of geological contacts. Oxide material that was too
soft and friable to be cut with a diamond saw was split with a
chisel. Core was cut to preserve the bottom of hole orientation
mark and the top half of core sent for analysis to ensure no bias
is introduced. RC/AC samples were collected directly from a
splitter at the drill rig.

Sample preparation was conducted by SGS West Wyalong and
consisted of:

Drying in the oven at 105ºC; crushing in a jaw crusher; fine
crushing in a Boyd crusher to 2-3mm; rotary splitting a 3kg
assay sub-sample if the sample is too large for the LM5 mill;
pulverising in the LM5 mill to nominal; 90% passing 75 µm;
and a 50g fire assay charge was taken with an atomic
absorption (AA) finish. The detection limit was 0.01 g/t Au.

All core intervals and AC chips are logged.

RC/AC chips are inspected at the rig while drilling, with detailed
logging taking place in the office via LogChief software which is
validated and uploaded directly into the Datashed database.
Chips are logged for rock-type, alteration, mineralisation and
veining as well as point data for base of transported and base of
oxide/top of primary rock.

Geologists log core for lithology, alteration, structure, and
veining. Logging was done directly onto laptop computers via
LogChief software which is validated and uploaded directly into
the Datashed database.

The Cowal logging system allows recording of both a primary
and a secondary lithology and alteration. Geologists also record
the colour, texture, grain size, sorting, rounding, fabric, and
fabric intensity characterising each lithological interval.

The logged structures include faults, shears, breccias, major
veins, lithological contacts, and intrusive contacts. Structures
are also recorded as point data to accommodate orientation
measurements.

Structural measurements are obtained using a core orientation
device. Core is rotated into its original orientation, using the
Gyro survey data as a guide. Freiberg compasses are used for
structural measurements.

Geologists log vein data including vein frequency, vein
percentage of interval, vein type, composition, sulphide
percentage per metre, visible gold, sulphide type, and
comments relative to each metre logged.

Geotechnical logging is done by field technicians and
geologists. Logging is on a per metre basis and includes
percentage core recovery, percentage RQD, fracture count, and
an estimate of hardness. The geotechnical data is entered into
the database.

All drill core, once logged, is digitally photographed on a core
tray-by-tray basis. The digital image captures all metre marks,
the orientation line (BOH) and geologist’s lithology, alteration,
mineralogy, and other pertinent demarcations. The geologists
highlight geologically significant features such that they can be

of core is always sent for analysis to ensure no bias is
introduced.

RC/AC Samples have been split using a splitter attached to the
cyclone at the rig. For a majority of holes, chip samples were
collected dry but several areas have been affected by
groundwater.

In 2003 Analytical Solutions Ltd conducted a Review of Sample
Preparation, Assay and Quality Control Procedures for Cowal
Gold Project. This study, combined with respective operating
company policy and standards (North Ltd, Homestake, Barrick
and Evolution) formed the framework for the sampling, assaying
and QAQC protocols used at Cowal to ensure appropriate and
representative sampling.

Results per interval are reviewed for half core samples and if
unexpected or anomalous assays are returned an additional
quarter core may be submitted for assay.

SGS West Wyalong acts as the Primary Laboratory and ALS
Orange conducts independent Umpire checks. Both labs
operate to international standards and procedures and take part
in the Geostatistical Round Robin inter-laboratory test survey.
The Cowal QA/QC program comprises blanks, Certified
Reference Material (CRM), inter-laboratory duplicate checks,
and grind checks.

1 in 30 fine crush residue samples has an assay duplicate. 1 in
20 pulp residue samples has an assay duplicate.

Wet screen grind checks are performed on 1 in 20 pulp residue
samples. A blank is submitted 1 in every 38 samples, CRM’s are
submitted 1 in every 20 samples. The frequency of repeat
assays is set at 1 in 30 samples.

All sample numbers, including standards and duplicates, are
pre-assigned by a QA/QC Administrator and given to the
sampler on a sample sheet. The QA/QC Administrator monitors
the assay results for non-compliance and requests action when
necessary. Batches with CRM’s that are outside the ±2SD
acceptance criteria are re-assayed until acceptable results are
returned.

Material used for blanks is uncertified, sourced locally,
comprising fine river gravel which has been determined to be
below detection limit. A single blank is submitted every 38
samples. Results are reviewed by the QA/QC Administrator
upon receipt for non-compliances. Any assay value greater than
0.1 g/t Au will result in a notice to the laboratory. Blank assays
above 0.20 g/t Au result in re-assay of the entire batch. The
duplicate assays (Au2) are taken by the laboratory during the
subsampling at the crushing and pulverisation stages. The
results were analysed using scatter plots and relative
percentage difference (RPD) plots. Repeat assays represent
approx. 10% of total samples assayed. Typically there is a large
variance at the lower grades which is common for low grade
gold deposits, however, the variance decreases to less than
10% for grades above 0.40 g/t Au, which is the cut-off grade
used at Cowal.

Approximately 5% of the pulps, representing a range of
expected grades, are submitted to an umpire assay laboratory
(ALS Orange) to check for repeatability and precision. Analysis
of the data shows that the Principal Laboratory is performing to
an acceptable level.

database. The software performs verification checks including
checking for missing sample numbers, matching sample
numbers, changes in sampling codes, inconsistent “from-to”
entries, and missing fields. Results are not entered into the
database until the QA/QC Administrator approves of the results.
A QA/QC report is completed for each drill hole and filed with

On completion of each angled drill hole, a down hole gyroscopic

the accurate surface surveyed position of each hole collar.

Gyro survey readings were taken at 10 m intervals on the way

(AC) or strategically to infill gaps in the existing drill data set and
test extensions of known lodes/mineralised structures at depth
(RC/DD). Drilling at the E46 West deposit has an average
spacing of of 25 m by 25 m. The AC drilling at E46 North was on
a grid at 100 m x 200 m and 200 m x 400 m spacings. E42

Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Drill contractors are issued with drill instructions by an Evolution
geologist. The sheet provides drill hole names, details, sample
requirements, and depths for each drill hole. Drill hole sample
bags are pre-numbered. The drill holes are sampled by
Evolution personnel who prepare sample submission sheets.
The submission sheet is then emailed to the laboratory with a
unique submission number assigned. This then allows individual
drill holes to be tracked.

An SGS West Wyalong (SGS) representative collects the
samples from site twice daily, however, if samples are being
sent to ALS Orange, PJ & NA Freighters are used to collect the
samples from site and deliver them to the laboratory. Upon
arrival, the laboratory sorts each crate and compares the
received samples with the supplied submission sheet. The
laboratory assigns a unique batch number and dispatches a
reconciliation sheet for each submission via email. The
reconciliation sheet is checked and any issues addressed. The
new batch name and dispatch information is entered into the
tracking sheet. The laboratory processes each batch separately
and tracks all samples through the laboratory utilising the LIMS
system. Upon completion, the laboratory emails Standard
Industry Format (SIF) files with the results for each batch to
Evolution personnel.

The assay batch files are checked against the tracking
spreadsheet and processed. The drill plan is marked off
showing completed drill holes. Any sample or QA/QC issues
with the results are tracked and resolved with the laboratory.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or
QA/QC Audits of the Primary SGS West Wyalong Laboratory

Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The Cowal gold deposits (E41, E42, E46, Galway and Regal)
occur within the 40 km long by 15 km wide Ordovician Lake
Cowal Volcanic Complex, east of the Gilmore Fault Zone within
the eastern portion of the Lachlan Fold Belt. There is sparse
outcrop across the Lake Cowal Volcanic Complex and, as a
consequence, the regional geology has largely been defined by
interpretation of regional aeromagnetic and exploration drilling
programs.

The Lake Cowal Volcanic Complex contains potassium rich
calc-alkaline to shoshonitic high level intrusive complexes, thick
trachyandesitic volcanics, and volcaniclastic sediment piles.
The Cowal Complex is a strong regional magnetic high anomaly
with a sharp linear western margin, represented by the Gilmore
Fault Zone, separating the Lake Cowal Volcanics from the
relatively low magnetic response of sediments to the west.

Similar Ordovician magmatic rocks are found over a large area
of the eastern Lachlan Fold Belt and are commonly associated
with copper-gold mineralisation (e.g., Northparkes, Cadia, Peak
Hill, and Gidginbung). The main diorite intrusion at E42 has a
K-Ar dating of 456 ± 5 Ma (Early to Mid-Ordovician). The gold
deposits at Cowal are structurally hosted, epithermal to
mesothermal gold deposits occurring within and marginal to a
230 m thick dioritic to gabbroic sill intruding trachy-andesitic
volcaniclastic rocks and lavas.

The overall structure of the gold deposits is complex but in
general consists of a faulted antiform that plunges shallowly to
the north-northeast. The deposits are aligned along a north-
south orientated corridor with bounding faults, the Booberoi
Fault on the western side and the Reflector Fault on the eastern
side (the Gold Corridor).

E46 West Resource Definition Diamond Drilling Program:

The drill holes E46D3239 – E46D3243 (five holes) were part of
a five hole diamond holes Resource Definition drilling program
within E46 West area totalling 1, 313 metres. The holes were
investigating the possible continuation of gold mineralisation

Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling
(eg cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules)

Reported assay data for this report is based on RC, HQ and NQ
diameter core. RC was drilled as pre-collars largely through
zones of weak mineralisation then followed with diamond core to
end of hole. RC chips were collected dry at 1m intervals using 3-
tier riffle splitter. In areas where excessive ground water was
encountered, drilling was stopped and hole converted to
diamond. HQ and NQ size core was cut with a diamond saw
along orientation lines and sampled at 1m nominal lengths.
Shorter or longer core (<2m) sampling lengths occurs on
occasions where adjustments are required to core loss,
alteration or lithology changes.

RC sample recovery is consistently checked comparing
recovered weight with nominal calculated weight over the same
interval. The length of each core recovered from a drill run is
recorded and the percentage recovered calculated. Field core
recovery records are validated at the core shed prior to cutting
and sampling. Bottom half of split core was preserved and the
other half sent for analysis. This is done consistently to avoid
sampling bias. A duplicate sample is taken for every 20thRC
and core sample.

RC riffle/cone splits averaging 2-31/2kg along with quarter core
samples are prepared and analysed at ALS Townsville facility.
Weights of samples dried at 105OC are recorded and crushed to
6mm. Samples are split and excess bagged if crushed weight is
greater than 3kg. LM5’s are used to pulverise samples to 85%
passing 75um. A 200g pulp split is taken for analysis which
comprise; a 50g charge fire assay with AA finish and ICP-AES
for multi-element suite.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation,
open-hole
hammer,
rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth
of
diamond
tails,
face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).

Face sampling hammers were used to drill 140mm sized holes
for RC pre-collars. Blow-back RC drilling method is employed to
ensure every interval drilled has maximum sample recovered.
Diamond drilling was undertaken with HQ and NQ bits. Holes
were usually started with HQ and completed with NQ on
occasions due to poor ground conditions. Coring was by triple
tube and all core was oriented using Reflex Act RD2 orientation
tool.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.

ensure
representative
nature
of
the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred
due
to
preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

RC recovery records are stored in a database. Field recovery
records for core are reconciled with driller’s depth blocks.
Percentage core recovery is calculated and stored in a database
along with Geotechnical records.

Drillers are informed of the importance of core recovery, all
necessary care is taken to ensure every drill run has maximum
core recovered. Shot core runs were done in bad ground to
ensure core loss is significantly minimised. Areas of poor RC or
core recovery were noted during logging. “CL” is marked on
depth blocks denoting core loss. Intervals of core losses are
considered during sampling and referenced when assessing
assay data.

No discernible relationship between core loss and grade has
been identified. Mineralisation is hosted within fresh advance
argillic rhyodacite unit where RC and core recoveries are in
excess of 90%. Bonanza gold grade occurs within feeder zones
with hydrothermal breccias cemented in silicic alteration
overprinted by sulphur salts veining with random acid leached
zones.Coreloss sometimes occursinthe acidleach zones and

sheared contacts bordering mafic dykes and rhyodacite. Drillers
take great care drilling through such zones to minimise sample
loss. Overall recovery is in excess of 90% and core loss is
volumetrically insignificant. In weathered overlying lithology
where oxidation has occurred between sheared lithology
contacts, RC sample and core loss is unavoidable but recovery
is generally in excess of 85%. Mineralisation in the lithology
overlying the rhyodacite is generally weak and therefore has
less impact on modelled bonanza high grade.
Logging Whether core and chip samples
have
been
geologically
and
geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or

The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.

Geology logging is undertaken for all RC chips and drill core and
structural and geotechnical logging occurs for core only.
Detailed logging is undertaken for the entire drillhole in domains
of alteration, mineralisation and lithology. Densities of various
lithological units, ASD and magnetic susceptibility data are
captured as part of the logging process. Lithogeochemical
samples are collected in areas where lithology units are not
easily discernible. The logging process is appropriate for Mineral
Resource estimates, mining and metallurgical studies.

General logging data captured are; qualitative (descriptions of
the various geological features and units) and quantitative
(numbers representing alteration intensities, vein densities, rock
mass quality and defect planes)

Core was cut using diamond core saw along orientation lines
and sampled at nominal one metre intervals from the same side
in the tray at all times. All core samples submitted to ALS,
Townsville for analysis are half core except for duplicate core
which is quarter core. The remaining half/quarter core is
persevered in the tray for further test work or re-logging if
required.

All RC samples are collected dry using 3-tier riffle splitters. An
eighth volume of every meter drilled is sampled using
riffle/rotary splitter and submitted for analysis.

RC and core sample preparation involves oven drying, coarse
crushing to ~6mm followed by pulverisation of the entire
sample (total prep) using LM5 grinding mills to a grind size
85% passing 75 micron. A 50g sub-sample is utilised for fire
assay. Sample preparation and analysis follows industry best
practise and appropriate for the mineralisation.

Certified reference material along with blanks and field
duplicates are inserted into sample stream along with the
original samples. Standards, blanks and field duplicates cover
5% of sample volume to monitor sample preparation and the
analytical process.

The high sulphidation epithermal mineralisation at Mt Carlton
occurs in zones of highly silicic altered hydrothermal breccias
overprinted by several phases of sulfur salts containing bonanza
gold grades and anomalous base-metal grades. RC sample size
of 2-31/2kg and core sample length over 1m is suitable for the
mineralisation type.

The sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material

Mt Carlton mineralisation generally trends NE and dips
moderately to the west. Brecciated silica ledges which control
bonanza lodes dips steeply to the west and plunges NE. These
zones are discrete and discontinuous. Mineralised zones are
based on interpreted geology and structural trends from drillhole
data and pit mapping.

True widths are estimated based on downhole significant

i)
continue to test for open pit and underground growth
opportunities immediately north and below the current

Concurrent to this drilling program, a major review of the
geology, structure and mineralisation is being undertaken to
enhance the understanding of the controls of the Mount Carlton
mineralised system. This project is intended to be completed by
the end of Q4 FY16, and the results will be used to identify

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules)

The mineralised lodes of the Pajingo deposit have been
defined through a combination of surface diamond drilling and
reverse circulation drilling followed by underground diamond
drilling and face sampling.

Reverse circulation drilling was generally used to obtain 1m
samples. Each interval was logged by the geologist before
determining intervals for analysis. A 2kg – 5kg sub-sample of
the selected individual or composited sample intervals was
obtained using a spear, and more recently a rig mounted
static cone or riffle splitter. The subsamples were pulverised
by the assaying laboratory to produce a 30g or 50g charge for
fire assaying for gold. All recent samples are submitted for
50g charge FA. Surface diamond drill core was logged by the
geologist who subsequently determined the required sample
intervals. Most surface diamond drill core was sampled as
half-core with a minimum sample interval of 0.2m and
maximum sample interval of 1.5m. Diamond core samples
were crushed, dried and pulverised (total preparation) to
produce a sub-sample for analysis by four-acid digest with
ICP/MS and/or ICP/AES finish for multi-elements, including
Ag and fire assay with AAS finish for Au.

Sampling of underground diamond drillholes followed the
same protocol as surface drilling up to October 2013 after
which all grade control and selected Resource Definition
holes were whole core sampled. Underground drillholes were
assayed for gold by fire assay, targeted programs and
individual holes were selected for multi element assays. Face
sampling of underground development drives was routinely
carried out as development advanced at 4m intervals, wall
samples have also been taken where development has
intersected mineralision. Face and wall sampling involves a
map being drawn and sample intervals determined by
lithology and alteration contacts (0.2m – 2m intervals). The
geologist marks the contacts and/or sample intervals with
paint and collects chips from within the interval directly into
the sample bag. Prior to October 2013, face and wall samples
were submitted for sample preparation and gold and silver
analysis by fire assay. Samples were subsequently assayed
by aqua regia for gold only.

The location of drillhole collars was determined by surveyors
on surface using RTK (Real Time Kinetic) GPS and
underground using TST (Total Station Tools).
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation,

diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth
of
diamond
tails,
face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).

Drilling at Pajingo is recorded dating to 1984. Third party
specialised drilling contractors have been engaged to
complete drill programs, the work methods, protocols and
standards were consistent industry practice.

Reverse circulation and diamond drilling methods have been
employed at Pajingo. Surface holes were typically a reverse
circulation collar to a depth of up to 400m often with a
diamond drillhole tail to a maximum depth of 1500m. Reverse
circulation holes were typically drilled with a 140mm/5.5 inch
diameter bit. HQ/96mm diameter holes were drilled from
surface and commonly reduced to NQ/60mm diameter holes
at depth.

Underground diamond drillholes were typically either wireline
(NQ2) and or conventional drilling (LTK60). 95% of
underground drillholes were less than 300m in length. A small
number of longer diamond holes have been drilled
underground with a maximum length of 850m.

Underground face samples were taken as mining progressed
in ore development drives, typically at 4m intervals. The
drillhole represents a horizontal line of sampling (nominally
1.5mabove thefloor) across the exposed ore body and

Recovery of surface and underground diamond core was
recorded with the collection of geotechnical data, recovery
has been determined based on core length compared to run
length which is consistent with industry practice. Recovery
has also been indirectly recorded with the qualitative
geological data as “core loss”. Overall, diamond core recovery
exceeds 95%.

Recovery of reverse circulation drillholes has not been
recorded consistently.

A recovery and grade correlation study has not been
completed with regard to recovery of reverse circulation
drillholes. Evolution protocols and QAQC procedures are
followed to preclude issues of sample bias due to loss or gain
of material during the drilling process

Diamond and reverse circulation drill holes were qualitatively
geologically logged in full for lithology, alteration, structure
and veining. The level of detail recorded in the geological
logging adequately supports the Mineral Resource estimation
and related studies.

The recording and storing of geological logs has evolved over
time reflecting technology improvements & industry norms.
The individual logs were stored electronically then uploaded
to a central geological database. Geological logging
information was available in the AcQuire database for 97% of
drillholes & 98% of face samples.

Drill core and chip trays were routinely photographed and
printed to 2005 then digitally photographed and stored to
present. Remaining core is stored on-site and available for
review.

Reverse circulation was generally used to obtain 1m samples,
each interval was logged by the geologist before determining
intervals for analysis. The samples selected for assaying were
dried before a 2kg – 5kg subsample was taken at the drill site
using a spear. Rig mounted static cone or riffle splitters
producing 1/8 split were used for reverse circulation holes
drilled since 2012. Preliminary composite samples were
collected using the spear method. The subsample was sent to
the assaying laboratory where it was dried, split using a riffle
splitter and pulverised to a grind size of 85% passing 75µm.
Field duplicates for RC samples were taken at a ratio of 1:20
and showed a good correlation to primary assays.

Diamond drill core was logged by the geologist who
subsequently determined the required sample intervals. Most
surface diamond drill core was sampled as half-core with a
minimum sample interval of 0.2m and maximum sample
interval of 1.5m. Core samples were submitted to the
assaying laboratory where they were dried, coarse crushed to
around 10mm and then pulverised to 85% passing 75µm.
Subsamples were typically less than 3kg which allowed the
total subsample to be prepared and pulverised. Quarter core
field duplicates for diamond holes have been taken and
showed a good correlation to primary assays.

Underground Grade Control and selected Resource Definition
diamond drillholes have been sampled as whole core
samples since October 2013. The assaying laboratory dried,
coarse crushed to ~10mm, split if >3kg and pulverised to 85%
passing 75µm. Field duplicates were not submitted with whole
core samples.

Underground face samples were taken as mining progressed
in ore development drives, typically at 4m intervals. The face
sample category also includes wall samples that were taken
in the same way in in areas where the development drive
intersect the ore body. The data is incorporated into the
database in the same way as a drillhole and is typically
displayed as ahorizontal line ofsampling (nominally1.5m

above the floor) across the exposed ore body and adjacent
material. The sampling protocol is consistent with industry
practice whereby the face is mapped, sample intervals are
determined and marked from which the samples were
collected. The sample interval is bounded by lithology and
alteration contacts (0.2m – 2m intervals), where no
boundaries were present a 1m nominal sample width is
assigned. The geologist marks the contacts and/or sample
intervals with paint and assigns a unique sample identifier to
each interval corresponding to the sample bag. A geological
hammer is used to collect material from the face along the
interval. Underground face samples were submitted to the
assaying laboratory to be dried, coarse crushed to ~10mm,
split if >3kg and pulverised to 85% passing 75µm. Field
duplicates have been submitted at a ratio of 1 in 25 faces.

Core sample analytical techniques used a four-acid digest
(ME-MS61 or MS62) multi-element suite with ICP/MS and/or
ICP/AES finish. Gold was analysed using a 50gm fire assay
with AAS finish. The acids used include nitric, perchloric,
hydrochloric and hydrofluoric and are suitable for silica based
samples. The method approaches total dissolution for most
minerals.

The assaying laboratory typically checked 1 in 40 samples for
percentage of pulverised material passing through a 75µm
screen, the laboratory agreement specified a minimum of
85% passing 75 µm. Grind size results are reported with
certified assay results and compliance was very good.
Laboratory QAQC procedures involve the use of internal
standards using certified reference material, blanks, and
repeats.

Additional certified reference materials (standards) and
coarse blanks were submitted at a ratio of 1:30 with diamond
core, reverse circulation chips, with each face sample. The
performance of standards and blanks were reviewed for each
batch, unexpected results were investigated and typically
resolved with re-assays. All assays were reviewed by batch
and flagged in the geological database as accepted, pending
or rejected. The performance of standards over time was
reviewed and no significant bias was observed.

The supervising geologist inspected the laboratory facilities
periodically and reviewed the receipt of samples, laboratory
hygiene, sample preparation, assaying method, analysis and
data recording.

A short wave infrared spectrometer (ASD TerraSpec 4 Hi-
Res) has been used since 2014 on selected drillholes to
obtain information on alteration minerals associated with
epithermal veining and gold mineralisation. Raw spectra
(measured at metre intervals) were processed using The
Spectral Geologist Professional (TSG Pro) software to obtain
an automated mineral identification (with manual checks) and
calculate spectral indices providing information on alteration
mineral chemistry. This information was used to assist in
geological interpretation and correlation of alteration zones
and
epithermal
veining.
No

coordinates, drillhole designation ,logs and assays are
controlled to maintain integrity of the database. The data
collection and validation process is multi-staged, requiring
input from geology technicians, geologists, surveyors and
assay laboratories, however the assigned geologist was
responsible for the verification of sampling and assaying data
for given drillholes or drilling programs.

Significant intersections were verified in diamond core by
company personnel and typically comprised of quartz veining
within moderate to strongly argillic & silica altered host rock.
Photographs were taken prior to sampling showing diamond
core in original labelled trays with core blocks, metre marks
and sample intervals. Remaining half core was retained on
site and stored with in the original labelled core trays.
Photographs were also taken of washed rock chips from each
interval of reverse circulation drillholes, the chips were stored
in divided plastic boxes labelled with the hole identifier, hole
depth was also labelled. Pulps returned from the assaying
laboratory are stored on site.

Unique sample identifiers were assigned to all samples at the
time of sampling and documented in hard copy and digital
format before being entered into the geological database.
Samples were tracked using a unique dispatch number for
each batch of samples sent to the assaying laboratory; any
discrepancies identified on receipt of the samples by the
assaying laboratory were investigated.

Assay reports were checked by the geologist prior to upload
into the database and variations from expected values were
investigated. Quality control and quality assurance protocols
were consistent with industry practice and review of data from
initial sampling, assay and re-assay values were used for
validation. Samples were downgraded in the database and
subsequently excluded from the estimate where validation
was not satisfactorily resolved.

There have been no adjustments to any assay data used in
the Pajingo Mineral Resource estimate.

Surface drilling rigs were positioned using surveyed collar
pegs when proximal to underground workings or handheld

located using Real Time Kinetic Differential Global Positioning
System (RTK DGPS). Since 2010 conventional surveying
methods have been confirmed the accuracy of RTK DGPS
locations to within 0.5m laterally and 2m vertically. The drill rig
orientation was aligned with front and back sights, pegged out
using a sighting compass, an inclinometer was used to align
the rig mast with the correct dip angle.

Underground drilling collar positions were set out by the mine
surveyor using conventional total station method. The rig is
aligned with front and back sight positions marked by the
surveyor with an inclinometer used to set the correct dip
angle. Drilled collar locations and surveyed at the end of each
drill program, the surveyed coordinates are tabulated and
entered into the geological database.

All downhole survey shots were recorded against magnetic
north, primary surveys were subsequently converted to local
mine grid bearings and both values entered in the geological
database. Individual single shot survey records were
completed by the driller at 30m intervals, the original records
were collated and stored in hard copy for each hole. Single
shot survey data was entered manually into the geological
database. In addition to single shot surveys, multi shot
surveys have been recorded since 1998, the primary record is
a digital file that is copied and stored on the Evolution Mining
network. Multi shot survey readings were typically recorded at
6m intervals, the extracted digital records were tabulated and
entered into the geological database. A local Pajingo mine
grid (VN1 Grid) is oriented 37.1 degrees west of magnetic
north.

Face sample lines were measured from known survey
stations to the end of development using a tape measure or
electronic distometer. Collar coordinates are determined
using the surveyed void position cross referenced to the
distance from the known survey station, The vertical position
is nominally 1.5m from the floor of the surveyed drive. The
topographic surface was based on surveyed points including
drillhole collars up to 2012.

Underground voids were surveyed using conventional total
station surveying methods and cavity monitoring system
(CMS) tools. Where voids could not be surveyed, a void
shape was created manually based on the design shape and
visual inspection of the void. Mined pits were surveyed using
total station method.

The void model used for the Mineral Resource estimate was
compiled by the site surveyor.

The grid system is Map Grid of Australia 1994 (MGA94) Zone

data is composited downhole to 1m intervals and constrained
by the defined lode boundaries for estimations, and
composited according to grade when reporting significant
intersections.

Geological

Drillholes are designed to ensure optimal intersection angles
with the reefs. Underground drilling orientation may be
affected by available collar locations, and surface drilling due
to the depth of the intercepts and the steepness of the
structure. The downhole (“apparent”) thickness of intercepts
are at times greater than “true” thickness. Estimated true
thickness is provided in the Drill hole Information Table in
Appendix 1 of this report. Face sampling is typically taken
from exposures perpendicular to the strike of the lode.

Low angle and sub parallel intercepts have been excluded
from the resource estimate.

No orientation bias has been indicated in the drilling data to

Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Diamond core samples are stored on site at the core yard,
collected by NQX Couriers and delivered to ALS Townsville
laboratories for assaying. Whilst in storage at the lab they are
kept in a locked yard. All remaining diamond core and RC
material is stored at the mine site core yard, pulp rejects from
exploration drilling are stored at the core yard as well.
Tracking sheets have been set up to track the progress of

Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling
(eg cut channels, random chips,
or specific specialised industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent

Sample types collected at Cracow and used in the reporting of
assays were all Diamond Drill core

Sample intervals for drill core were determined by visual logging
of
lithology
type,
veining
style/intensity
and
alteration
style/intensity to ensure a representative sample was taken. In
addition, sampling is completed across the full width of
mineralisation. Minimum and maximum sample intervals were
applied using this framework. No instruments or tools requiring
calibration were used as part of the sampling process.

Industry standard procedures were followed with no significant
coarse gold issues that affected sampling protocols. Nominal 3
kg samples from drill core are subsampled to produce a 50g
sample submitted for fire assay.

A combination of drilling techniques was used across the
Cracow Lodes. Diamond NQ2 (standard) and LTK60 were the
most commonly used. All of the holes reported were drilled from
underground and none of the holes reported were orientated.

Whether a relationship exists

Drill core – the measurement of length drilled Vs. length of core
recovered was completed for each drilled run by the drill crew.
This was recorded on a core loss block placed in the core tray
for any loss identified. Marking up of the core by the geological
team then checked and confirmed these core blocks, and any
additional core loss was recorded and blocks inserted to ensure
this data was captured. Any areas containing core loss were
logged using the lithology code “Core Loss” in the lithology field
of the database.

Sampleloss at Cracow was calculated atless than 1% and

wasn’t considered an issue. Washing away of sample by the
drilling fluid in clay or fault gouge material is the main cause of
sample loss. In areas identified as having lithologies susceptible
to sample loss, drilling practices and down-hole fluids were
modified to reduce or eliminate sample loss.

The drilling contract used at Cracow states for any given run, a
level of recovery is required otherwise financial penalties are
applied to the drill contractor. This ensures sample recovery is
prioritised along with production performance.

Mineralisation at Cracow was within Quartz-Carbonate fissure
veins, and therefore sample loss rarely occurs in lode material.
No relationship between sample recovery and grade was
observed.

Geological logging was undertaken onsite by Evolution
employees and less frequently by external contractors. Logging
was completed using_LogChief_Software and uploaded directly
to the database. A standard for logging at Cracow was set by
the Core Logging Procedure_Cracow Procedures Manual 3rd_
Edition. Drill Core is logged recording lithology, alteration,
veining, mineral sulphides and geotechnical data. RC chip
logging captured the same data with the exclusion of
geotechnical information.

Logging was qualitative. All drill core was photographed wet
using a camera stand and an information board to ensure a
consistent standard of photography and relevant information
was captured.

All core samples collected were fully logged.

All drill holes reported were whole core sampled.

Whole core samples were crushed in a jaw crusher to > 70%
passing 2mm; half of this material was split with a riffle splitter
for pulverising. No RC samples required crushing in the jaw
crusher. Core and RC samples were pulverised for 10-14
minutes in a LM5 bowl with a target of 85% passing 75µm.
Grind checks were undertaken nominally every 20 samples.
From this material approximately 120g was scooped for
further analysis and the remaining material re-bagged.
Duplicates were performed on batches processed by ALS
every 20 samples at both the crushing and pulverising stages.
This sample preparation for drill samples is considered
appropriate for the style of mineralisation at Cracow.

Duplicates were performed on batches processed by ALS
Brisbane every 20 samples at both the crushing and pulverising
stages.

Grind checks were undertaken nominally every 20 samples, to
ensure sample grind target of 85% passing 75µm was met.
Duplicates were completed every 20 samples at both the
crushing and pulverising stages, with no bias found at any sub-
sampling stage.

Verification of assay results was standard practice, undertaken
at a minimum once per year. In 2015, 547 pulp samples from
Cracow drillcore were retested at SGS Townsville to compare to
the results produced by ALS Townsville. The umpire sampling
confirmed the accuracy of the ALS Townsville assaying was
within acceptable error limits.

The drilling of twin holes wasn’t common practice at Cracow.
Twin holes that have been drilled show the tenor of
mineralisation within the reportable domains were consistent
between twin holes.

All sample information was stored using_Datashed_, an SQL
database. The software contains a number of features to ensure
data integrity. These include (but not limited to) not allowing
overlapping sample intervals, restrictions on entered into certain
fields and restrictions on what actions can be performed in the
database based on the individual user. Data entry to_Datashed_

The sample spacing required for the resource category of each
ore body is unique and may not fit the idealised spacing
indicated above.

All datasets were composited prior to estimation. The most
frequent interval length was 1 metre, particularly inside and
around mineralised zones. Sample intervals for most domains
were composited to 1m, with a maximum sample length of no
greater than 1.5m and a minimum sample interval of 0.2m.

The Cracow Goldfields were discovered in 1932, with the
identification of mineralisation at Dawn then Golden Plateau in
the eastern portion of the field. From 1932 to 1992, mining of
Golden Plateau and associated trends produced 850KOz.
Exploration across the fields and nearby regions was completed
by several identities including BP Minerals Australia, Australian
Gold Resources Ltd, ACM Operations Pty Ltd, Sedimentary
Holdings NL and Zapopan NL.

In 1995, Newcrest Mining Ltd (NML) entered into a 70 % share
of the Cracow Joint Venture. Initially exploration was targeting
porphyry type mineralisation, focusing on the large areas of
alteration at Fernyside and Myles Corridor. This focus shifted to
epithermal exploration of the western portion of the field, after
the discovery of the Vera Mineralisation at Pajingo, which
shared similarities with Cracow. The Royal epithermal
mineralisation was discovered in 1998, with further discoveries
of Crown, Sovereign, Empire, Phoenix, Kilkenny and Tipperary
made from 1998 up to 2008

Evolution was formed from the divestment of Newcrest assets
(including Cracow) and the merging of Conquest and Catalpa in
2012. Evolution continued exploration at Cracow from 2012.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.

The Cracow project area gold deposits are in the Lower
Permian Camboon Andesite on the south-eastern flank of the
Bowen Basin. The regional strike is north-northwest and the dip
20° west-southwest. The Camboon Andesite consists of
andesitic and basaltic lava, with agglomerate, tuff and some
inter-bedded trachytic volcanics. The andesitic lavas are
typically porphyritic, with phenocrysts of plagioclase feldspar
(oligocalse or andesine) and less commonly augite. To the west,
the Camboon Andesite is overlain with an interpreted
disconformity by fossiliferous limestone of the Buffel Formation.

which consist of rhyolitic and dacitic lavas and pyroclastics with
inter-bedded trachytic and andesitic volcanics, sandstone,
siltstone, and conglomerate.

Mineralisation is hosted in steeply dipping low sulphidation
epithermal veins. These veins found as discrete and as
stockwork and are composed of quartz, carbonate and adularia,
with varying percentages of each mineral. Vein textures include
banding
(colloform, crustiform,
cockade, moss),
breccia
channels and massive quartz, and indicate depth within the
epithermal system. Sulphide percentage in the veins are
generally low (<3%) primarily composed of pyrite, with minor
occurrences
of
hessite,
sphalerite
and
galena.
Rare
chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and bornite can also be found.

Alteration of the country rock can be extensive and zone from
the central veined structure. This alteration consists of
silicification, phyllic alteration (silica, sericite and other clay
minerals) and argillic alteration in the inner zone, grading
outwards to potassic (adularia) then an outer propylitic zone.
Gold is very fined grained and found predominantly as electrum
but less common within clots of pyrite.
