OVERVIEW

Group gold production for the June 2017 quarter was a record 218,079 ounces (Mar qtr: 202,926oz). AISC[1] declined to a record low of A$825/oz (Mar qtr: A$840/oz). Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7505, Group AISC equated to US$619/oz – ranking Evolution as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world.

In the June 2017 quarter Evolution delivered record operating mine cash flow of A$200.4 million and net mine cash flow, post all capital, of A$137.1 million (Mar qtr: A$166.5M; A$110.7M).

This continued excellent operational cash flow allowed Evolution to make debt repayments totalling A$125.0 million during the quarter. As at 30 June 2017, gross debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolving and Term Facility was A$435.0 million. Net debt was reduced to A$399.0 million.

Evolution’s diversified portfolio delivered across the board in the June 2017 quarter. Ernest Henry, Mt Carlton, Edna May and Cracow all produced their best quarter of the financial year. Ernest Henry was again a standout producing 23,756 ounces of payable gold at a negative AISC of A$(432) per ounce resulting in a net mine cash flow of A$47.7 million. Edna May achieved a substantially improved performance with an increase in ore mined of 162% which saw gold production increase by 101% quarter-on-quarter to 21,108oz at a 37% lower AISC of A$1,153/oz.

On 22 June 2017 Evolution announced an earn-in joint venture agreement with Terramin Australia Limited (ASX:TZN) over the South Gawler gold-copper project in South Australia. The primary target is an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) breccia deposit.

Mungari’s aggressive discovery and resource definition drilling programs continued to deliver strong results during the quarter. Recent drilling at Emu and Burgundy extended high-grade mineralisation outside of existing resources. Reverse circulation drilling extended mineralisation northwest from the historic Bent Tree mine in the Ora Banda camp. Aircore drilling south of the Blue Funnel mine identified a 600m long, 120m wide, northwest-trending gold anomaly adjacent to the Zuleika Shear Zone.

Group gold production in FY17 totalled 844,124 ounces which was at the upper end of guidance of 800,000 – 860,000 ounces and represented a new annual production record for Evolution (FY16: 803,476oz). Five of Evolution’s seven operations exceeded the top end of their production guidance range for the year – Cowal, Ernest Henry, Mt Carlton, Mt Rawdon and Cracow.

Group FY17 AISC declined 11% year-on-year to a record low of A$905 per ounce (US$683/oz)[2] which was at the bottom of the guidance range of A$900 – A$960 per ounce. Four of Evolution’s seven operations achieved AISC below the bottom end of their respective FY17 guidance range – Cowal, Ernest Henry, Mt Carlton and Mt Rawdon.

FY18 Guidance will be provided with the FY17 Financial Results expected to be released on 17 August 2017. The Company does not expect to make any material changes to its current Three Year Outlook. Gold production in the September 2017 quarter is expected to be between 200,000 – 215,000 ounces.

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$61.5 million. Net mine cash flow of A$29.9 million was achieved (Mar 2017 qtr: A$39.1 million), post sustaining capital of A$4.3 million and major capital of A$27.4 million. Major capital relates to the Stage H and Float Tails (Dual) Leach projects announced in February 2017.

Ore mining activities focussed on the E42 Stage G cutback to the current operating level of 894mRL.

Work commenced on the Stage H project focussing on the recruitment of operators and procurement of equipment. Mining excavation commenced with the initial priority being to relocate stockpiles and waste dumps currently located within the perimeter of Stage H. Development work is ahead of schedule with all preparatory works to be completed and waste stripping to ramp up during the September 2017 quarter.

Engineering design works were completed for the Float Tails (Dual) Leach project in the quarter. A tender process for construction of the circuit has been initiated.

Total gold production for FY17 was 263,015oz at an average C1 cash cost of A$613/oz and AISC of A$833/oz. Production was above guidance of 245,000 – 260,000oz. Cash costs and AISC were below the lower end of guidance of A$615 – A$675/oz and A$885 – A$945/oz respectively.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 29,965oz of gold at a C1 cash cost of A$1,169/oz and AISC of A$1,313/oz (Mar 2017 qtr: 33,915oz, C1 A$1,046/oz, AISC A$1,221/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$10.0 million. Net mine cash flow of A$5.1 million was achieved (Mar 2017 qtr: A$11.4 million) post sustaining capital and major capital of A$4.9 million.

The Frog’s Leg underground mine produced 171kt ore tonnes at a grade of 4.3g/t gold. Total development was reduced as the Rocket decline development was completed. Ore production was in line with plan.

White Foil focussed on Stage 2b. Upon completion of Stage 2 in July 2017, mining will focus on the Stage 3 cutback. Drill and blast trials were conducted in Stage 3 to increase production efficiencies and generated encouraging results.

The mill performed well for the quarter. A particle size analyser and the second Knelson concentrator were installed in the June 2017 quarter. Both systems will be online in the September 2017 quarter. The plant achieved the lowest unit cost per tonne for the year in the June quarter at 12% below the year-to-date average. An increased focus on contractor management and maintenance activity contributed to the sustained cost improvements over the June 2017 half year.

Total gold production for FY17 was 143,820oz at an average cash cost of A$954/oz and an AISC of A$1,143/oz. Gold production was below guidance of 150,000 – 160,000oz. C1 cash costs and AISC were above FY17 guidance of A$740 – A$800/oz and A$970 – A$1,030/oz respectively.

OPERATIONS

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Mt Carlton produced 28,270oz of payable gold contained in 15,128 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of gold concentrate and in gold doré (Mar qtr: 25,536oz, 13,773dmt). Low costs continued to be achieved with C1 cash costs of A$363/oz and an AISC of A$616/oz (Mar qtr: C1 A$259/oz, AISC A$509/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$34.9 million and net mine cash flow was A$29.9 million (Mar qtr: A$22.2 million), post sustaining and major capital of A$5.0 million.

A total of 194,366 tonnes of V2 ore grading 5.92g/t gold was treated. High-grade ore through the plant continues to see strong positive reconciliation.

Mining of the Stage 3a western end of the V2 pit focussed on accessing high-grade ore to blend with low to medium-grade Run of Mine (ROM) stocks. Mining of the Stage 3b pre-strip also continued.

The gravity recoverable gold circuit was successfully commissioned producing 3,000oz of gold doré. This circuit will continue to be optimised during the September 2017 quarter. In addition, studies are underway to identify options to reduce the impact of clay in the flotation circuit that could lead to increased plant throughput.

The underground Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) confirmed positive economics for a Stage 4 pit cutback combined with an underground operation to extract the Link Zone. A Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which will include additional resource definition drilling, has commenced and is expected to be completed in the 2017 calendar year.

In FY17 Mt Carlton produced 105,024oz which exceeded guidance of 90,000 – 100,000 ounces. C1 costs of A$307/oz and AISC of A$622/oz were both substantially below the bottom end of FY17 guidance of A$400 – A$450/oz and A$675 – A$725/oz respectively.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 25,808oz of gold in the June quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$639/oz and AISC of A$922/oz (Mar 2017 qtr: 24,662oz, C1 A$694/oz, AISC A$907/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$17.1 million. Mt Rawdon delivered net mine cash flow of A$9.3 million (Mar 2017 qtr: A$8.02 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$7.8 million.

Mining activities were focussed on the progression of Stage 4. Ore was sourced from the northern section of the open pit. Waste movements continued in the southern and western sections of the pit.

Total ore mined was 1.31Mt at an average grade of 0.88g/t gold. The plant processed 862kt at an average head grade of 1.06g/t gold.

A number of continuous improvement projects were undertaken during the quarter. These initiatives included pit wall angle optimisation studies and an ore characterisation program which aims to improve mill throughput and recoveries. In addition, a new contract has been awarded for the supply and service of explosives which will see significant savings realised over the next three years.

In the September quarter mining activities will continue to focus on waste movement from the southern and western sections of Stage 4 in anticipation of exposing ore from these benches in following quarters. Ore to the mill will be supplied predominantly from the north and north-western sections.

Total gold production for FY17 was 101,331oz at an average cash cost of A$630/oz and an AISC of A$873/oz. Gold production exceeded guidance of 90,000 – 100,000oz. C1 cash costs and AISC were below FY17 guidance of A$690 – A$770/oz and A$960 – A$1,040/oz respectively.

OPERATIONS

Edna May, Western Australia (100%)

Edna May produced 21,108oz at a C1 cash cost of A$1,026/oz and AISC of A$1,153/oz, a significant turnaround compared to the previous quarter (Mar 2017 qtr: 10,480oz, C1 cash cost A$1,772/oz, AISC A$1,849/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$4.1 million. Edna May delivered net mine cash flow of A$0.2 million (Mar 2017 qtr: negative A$14.1 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$3.9 million. The major capital expenditure was on continued development of the new underground mine which will be producing ore later this year.

As planned, the June quarter saw a substantial operational improvement at Edna May. This turnaround followed a strategic review and management changes implemented earlier in the year. Ore mined increased by 162% and gold production increased by 101% quarter-on-quarter.

Open pit mining was within the Stage 2 north cutback. The bulk of the pre-strip in the north cutback has now been completed. The improved mining rates achieved in the June quarter are expected to be maintained in September quarter. ROM stocks are forecast to be greater than 1Mt by the end of the September quarter.

Cracow, Queensland (100%)

Cracow had an outstanding quarter producing 26,792oz of gold at a C1 cash cost of A$604/oz, and AISC of A$965/oz (Mar 2017 qtr: 21,388oz, C1 A$784/oz, AISC A$1,049/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$23.7 million. Cracow delivered net mine cash flow of A$15.0 million (Mar 2017 qtr: A$11.7 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$8.7 million.

A total of 139kt of ore was mined at an average grade of 6.62g/t gold. Primary ore sources were the Kilkenny and Empire ore bodies. Grades are expected to decline in the September 2017 quarter with increased production from the narrower Griffin and Empire stopes.

Ore processed was 132kt at an average grade of 6.59g/t gold. Gold recovery was 95.8%. Plant utilisation was 95.6%.

Total gold production for FY17 was 89,496oz at an average cash cost of A$746/oz and AISC of A$1,123/oz. Gold production exceeded guidance of 80,000 – 85,000oz. Cash costs and AISC were at the lower end of guidance ranges of A$740 – A$800/oz and A$1,100 – A$1,160/oz respectively.

Rehabilitation of the underground mine progressed with an additional 318m of the decline completed. Primary development included 37m of ventilation infrastructure and 24m of decline development.

Total gold production for FY17 was 70,188oz at an average cash cost of A$1,309/oz and AISC of A$1,440/oz. Lower than planned material movement and a lack of available ore in the March quarter resulted in full year production being lower than guidance of 80,000 – 85,000oz. This resulted in higher costs relative to guidance of A$1,020 – A$1,100/oz and AISC of A$1,140 – A$1,220/oz.

OPERATIONS

Ernest Henry, Queensland (Economic interest; 100% Gold and 30% Copper Production)[1]

The June quarter results included the first full quarter of Evolution’s gold sales from the Ernest Henry operation. Evolution’s interest for the quarter delivered 23,756oz of gold and 5,183t of copper (March 2017 qtr 22,246oz and 4,997t of copper) at an AISC of negative A$(432)/oz (March qtr A$(447)/oz).

The cost performance continues to be exceptional with a C1 cash cost of negative A$(612)/oz after accounting for copper and silver by-product credits (March qtr A$(645)/oz). Cash operating costs (C1) were comprised of A$1,058/oz and by-product credits of A$1,669/oz.

For the eight months of attributable production in FY17 total gold produced was 60,259oz at a negative average cash cost of A$(593)/oz and a negative AISC of A$(361)/oz. Gold production exceeded guidance of 55,000 – 60,000oz. AISC was substantially below the guidance range of A$100 – A$150/oz due to lower operating costs, higher gold and copper production and a higher copper price relative to expectations.

Copper sales in the quarter were 5,183t at an average copper price of A$7,564/t.

Gold sales in the June quarter of 22,720oz related to March quarter production consistent with the Offtake Agreement. June quarter production of 23,756oz will be sold during the September 2017 quarter.

Operating mine cash flow for the quarter was A$49.2 million. Ernest Henry generated an impressive net mine cash flow for Evolution of A$47.7 million, post sustaining capital of A$1.4 million.

Ore mined was 1,725kt at an average grade of 0.54g/t gold and 1.09% copper. Underground development was 1,304m. Ore processed was 1,746kt at an average grade of 0.56g/t gold and 1.09% copper. Gold recovery of 78.3% and copper recovery of 94.6% was achieved with mill utilisation at 87.1%.

FINANCIALS

On the back of record quarterly production, sales, unit costs and a higher achieved gold price, Evolution generated record operating and net mine cash flow of A$200.4 million and A$137.1 million respectively in the June 2017 quarter. This record cash flow was directed towards further reducing the Group’s debt position with A$125.0 million repaid during the quarter.

Evolution sold 219,253oz of gold at an average gold price of A$1,650/oz (March 2017 qtr: 193,431 oz at A$1,600/oz). Deliveries into the hedge book totalled 60,496oz at an average price of A$1,585/oz with the remaining 158,757oz of gold delivered on spot markets at an average price of A$1,665/oz.

Evolution generated record operating mine cash flow of A$200.4 million which was A$33.9 million, or 20.3% higher than the March 2017 quarter of A$166.5 million. This was due mainly to higher gold ounce sales, including the first full quarter of sales for Ernest Henry, as well as a higher achieved gold price.

The record net mine cash flow of A$137.1 million was A$26.4 million, or 23.9% higher than the March 2017 quarter. This was after investing A$27.1 million in Stage H at Cowal during the quarter as project activities ramped up. A total of A$63.3 million of capital was invested in the June quarter split between A$20.0 million in sustaining capital and A$43.3 million in major project capital.

All sites were cash flow positive for the quarter after meeting all their operating and capital expenditure needs. Edna May noticeably improved its financial performance after continued investment in waste stripping in the open pit and development of the first stage of the underground mine in the previous two quarters.

The improved asset quality of the portfolio is reflected by the first full quarter of sales contribution from Ernest Henry which delivered A$49.2 million of operating cash flow and only required A$1.4 million of sustaining capital. Cowal (A$29.9 million) and Mt Carlton (A$29.9 million) continued to be strong contributors and delivered A$166.1 million and A$91.2 million respectively for the full year. Cowal’s performance is a superb outcome given the net cash flow was achieved after major project investment of A$27.1 million.

Full year financial results

Evolution’s full year financial results for the year ended 30 June 2017 will be released on 17 August 2017. The following preliminary information is provided in relation to non-cash accounting items which will be included in the results. These items have previously been disclosed and final numbers are subject to audit.

  • Amortisation of economic interest in Ernest Henry: Approximately 7% (A$60.0 – 62.0 million) of the investment in Ernest Henry will be amortised in the 2017 financial statements

  • Fair value unwind in relation to Cowal and Mungari: A pre-tax non-cash amortisation of A$42.0 – 47.0 million split between Cowal (A$22.0 – 25.0 million) and Mungari (A$20.0 – 22.0 million) will be included in the financial statements. These amounts are included in the depreciation and amortisation values in the FY17 production and cost summary table on page 5 of this report.

  • Income tax expense: As reported in the half-year accounts, Evolution has utilised all unrestricted tax losses and recognised a tax loss asset related to losses restricted by the available fraction. The tax loss asset is expected to be utilised in the current and future years with A$10.0 – 15.0 million expensed in the second half as the losses are utilised to reduce taxable profits

  • Discovery expenditure: Exploration costs of A$12.0 – 15.0 million are expected to be expensed for the financial year

EXPLORATION

Exploration highlights

Evolution completed 292km of exploration and resource definition drilling in FY17 at a cost of $57.3 million. This drilling made a substantial contribution to the increase in the December 2016 Ore Reserves by 1.14 million ounces (19%) to 6.99 million ounces after accounting for mining depletion of 913,000 ounce.

Mungari

  • Evolution is continuing to invest in aggressive discovery and resource definition programs across the Mungari tenements. Recent drilling at Emu and Burgundy extended high-grade mineralisation outside of existing resources. The new results reinforce the potential for future resource growth and the Company is committed in FY18 to matching similar levels of exploration expenditures as in FY17

  • Discovery drilling at the at the Lady Agnes target in the Ora Banda camp has identified a potential extension of mineralisation along strike from the historic Bent Tree open pit mine

  • At Blue Funnel South (22km north of the Mungari plant), a 600m long, 120m wide gold anomaly has been identified in aircore drilling adjacent to the Zuleika Shear Zone. Reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling is planned to test the origin of the anomaly underneath several of the strongest results

Cracow

  • Cracow resource definition drilling confirmed continuity of high grade mineralisation at Killarney. At Imperial, new high-grade intersections were returned and will be incorporated in a maiden resource estimate to be completed in this area of the mining operations

  • The first phase of new discovery drilling was completed at the Walhalla and Valkyrie targets both located within 2km of the operating footprint at Cracow. Drilling was designed to test the concept that both targets are high-level expressions of deeper high-grade mineralisation below – results are pending

Cowal

  • Diamond drilling at Cowal intersected mineralisation at depth in a previously untested area known as Beagle. The target is situated between the E42 and E41 deposits. Work is being undertaken to assess the potential to extend the mineralised zone closer to surface

Tennant Creek Joint Venture

  • Framework drilling commenced at Edna Beryl with the aim of understanding the origin of recently delineated gravity anomalies surrounding prospective ironstone units that host high-grade mineralisation in the field

South Gawler

  • Evolution entered into an earn-in joint venture agreement with Terramin Australia Limited (ASX:TZN) on the South Gawler gold-copper project, 320km northwest of Adelaide. The agreement provides a pathway for Evolution to earn up to an 80% interest in the project over a six-year period

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Exploration

Drilling was completed at Tadpole (south of Frog’s Leg), Blue Funnel (Broad’s Dam) and near Bent Tree (Ora Banda) for a total of 10,534m (162 holes). Core drilling at Tadpole confirmed an incremental extension of the favourable mine corridor geology south of Frog’s Leg. Aircore drilling at Blue Funnel delineated a low-level gold anomaly in an area east of the Zuleika Shear Zone not previously explored for gold mineralisation. At Ora Banda, a recent reverse circulation (RC) program encountered mineralisation at Lady Agnes, along strike from the historical Bent Tree mine.

Frog’s Leg South (Tadpole)

Two diamond holes for 1,894m were drilled 200m south and 400m south of the Frog’s Leg mine at the Tadpole target (Figure 2). Drilling was undertaken to confirm the presence of and to extend favourable host rocks (ie the Catrock Basalt and Centenary Shale) along with structures that localise mineralisation at Frog’s Leg. The favourable host rocks were encountered deep in hole PDDD003 and were more thickly developed than anticipated. The primary contacts were sheared and displayed evidence of veins similar to those that host gold at Frog’s Leg. The second hole (PDDD004) failed to intersect the host rock package further along strike to the south. Additional work is underway to assess the potential for ore shoots to exist between the southern edge of the Frog’s Leg mineralisation and hole PDDD003.

Blue Funnel

Aircore drilling south of Blue Funnel (Figure 1) totalled 51 holes for 3,230m. The program targeted a 7km section of the Zuleika Shear Zone and delineated a 600m long, 120m wide, northwest-trending gold anomaly (0.2g/t Au cut-off open to the southeast) within the late basin sediments of the Kurrawang Group. Mineralisation occurs in a deeply developed zone of weathering. The aircore program will be completed in the September quarter 2017 and a follow-up RC and diamond program is planned to test specific target areas within this broad gold anomaly.

Lady Agnes

A seven-hole RC drilling program was completed late in the quarter at Lady Agnes in the Ora Banda camp north of Mungari (see Figure 1). One hole tested a position along strike of the projected trend from the Bent Tree open pit and returned 5m (4.5m etw) grading 8.3g/t Au from 137m (EVRC0145)[1] . Anomalous gold in results of historic aircore drilling highlight potential to extend mineralisation further along strike. Additional drilling will be completed next quarter to determine the significance of this result.

Resource defintion drilling

Recent results from the regional resource definition drilling program at Mungari have returned positive intercepts at Burgundy and Emu. The new results continue to reinforce potential to grow the resource base across the Mungari camp. Importantly, the latest results occur along or adjacent to the Kunanalling Shear Zone which, historically, has received far less focus than the parallel Zuleika Shear Zone (see Figure 1). Further work is planned to continue to understand opportunities along the Kunanalling corridor.

Emu

At Emu, a total of five diamond holes were drilled to confirm structural controls on mineralisation delineated previously in shallow RC drilling (Figure 3). A number of holes returned gold intervals and extended mineralisation well below the base of the A$1,800/oz pit shell (Figure 4). Mineralisation is associated with quartz-sulphide veins in a dolerite unit situated between basalt and ultramafic rocks.

Significant intercepts from Emu included:

  • 3m (1.2m etw) grading 11.48g/t Au from 90m (EMUD003)

  • 23.74m (14.2m etw) grading 13.74g/t Au from 83.5m

  • including 5.37m (3.2m etw) grading 50.20g/t Au from 101.87m (EMUD004)

  • 1m (0.6m etw) grading 5.60g/t Au from 41m and 2.14m (1.3m etw) grading 4.21g/t Au from 50m (EMUD005)

Burgundy

The drilling program at Burgundy (24 holes for 2,370m) aimed to test the depth potential of a high-grade plunge between the A$1,350oz and A$1,800oz pit shells and increase resource confidence. A new zone of mineralisation (~18 metres wide) was intersected in hole BRC076 in the footwall below the A$1,800/oz pit shell. The new lode is open along strike and down dip with potential to expand the existing resources (Figures 5 and 6).

Significant intercepts returned to date from Burgundy included:

  • 10m (8.5m etw) grading 1.86g/t Au from 106m (BURC057)

  • 17m (14.5m etw) grading 4.73g/t Au from 112m (BURC061)

  • 21m (17.9 etw) grading 5.13g/t Au from 170m (BURC076)

Resource definition drilling

Resource definition drilling totalled 13,274m and included extensional drilling at Baz and infill drilling at Imperial, Denmead, and Killarney.

Drilling completed at Killarney (Figure 7) infilled the existing high-grade Inferred Resource at this location to an Indicated resource categorisation drill spacing, whereas drilling at Imperial (Figure 8) was designed to generate new information to be included in a maiden resource estimate in this area of the mine.

Highlights of the significant results received from both Killarney and Imperial included:

  • 13.00m (11.13m etw) grading 14.88g/t Au (KLU006) Killarney

  • 5.10m (4.78m etw) grading 19.01 g/t Au (KLU011) Killarney

EXPLORATION

Regional exploration

Four diamond holes for 1,781m were completed at the Walhalla and Valkyrie Prospects located 2.5km northeast and 1.5km northwest respectively from the Cracow operating footprint (Figure 9). Both targets were identified in surface mapping and geochemistry as high-level expressions of low sulphidation epithermal veins potentially preserved at depth. Drilling was designed to test the targets down to and beyond 300m from surface where quartz filled vein shoots may be developed. Assay results are due in the September quarter.

Exploration tenement EPM26311 located immediately north of the current Cracow exploration lease (EPM15981) was granted in the quarter. This tenement contains extensions of the prospective Camboon Andesite, which hosts the low sulphidation high-grade veins at Cracow. Reconnaissance of the newly granted ground will commence early in FY18.

Near mine exploration

Drill testing of Control Source Audio Frequency Magnetotellurics (CSAMT) targets to the east and northeast of the V2 pit (Figure 10) was undertaken with a total of two holes for 874m completed. The aim of the program was to test for depth repetitions of the lower rhyodacite which host the high sulphidation epithermal mineralisation in the V2 pit. Logging, sampling and assaying of the holes is in progress.

E42 exploration diamond drilling program

The exploration program in the Beagle zone, between E41 and E42, was completed with a total of three diamond holes for 1,746m drilled. The program tested for the continuation of mineralisation outside and to the southeast of the E42 Stage H pit.

Results from the drilling campaigns returned mineralised intercepts at similar grades to those encountered in the Stage H drilling, however, across narrower intervals. An update of the geological interpretation between E41 and E42 is well advanced and will be completed in the December 2017 half-year.

Planning and land access work for air core drill programs at East Girral area (EL8524) and E46 North (EL7750) areas is in progress.

Tennant Creek, Northern Territory (earning 65% in Stage 1)

Framework drilling commenced at Edna Beryl late in June with 14 RC holes (including one pre-collar for a diamond tail) completed for 2,800m. The aim of the program is to determine the source of the gravity anomaly which may indicate presence of a larger volume of the favourable ironstone host rocks. Drilling has intersected mainly haematitic shales and minor quartz bearing structures and associated chlorite alteration. A deep diamond hole is underway to test the steeply plunging mineralisation trend modelled in the variography. The

hole is planned to cross ironstone positions 100m below the deepest mineralised intercepts at Edna Beryl. Results of this drilling will be reported next quarter.

Emmerson Resources recently announced the commencement of small scale production under a tribute agreement by an operator specialising in small underground mining operations (refer Emmerson Resource’s ASX release 23 June 2017). The tribute arrangement relates to a 3D envelope surrounding shallow oxide mineralisation. Drilling sponsored by Evolution at Edna Beryl has been designed to test extensions beyond this envelope with the aim of identifying a material resource target that may eventually develop into a commercial-scale mining opportunity for the partners.

Puhipuhi, New Zealand (100%)

Following a detailed assessment of drilling results, Evolution has suspended exploration activities at Puhipuhi. New opportunities have surfaced across the Company’s Australian portfolio which have been prioritised in favour of further work in New Zealand.

South Gawler, South Australia (earning up to 80%)

Evolution recently entered into an earn-in joint venture agreement with Menninnie Metals Pty Ltd (a wholly owned subsidiary of Terramin Australia Limited; ASX: TZN) over the South Gawler project located in the northern Eyre Peninsula of South Australia. The primary target is an Iron Oxide Copper Gold (IOCG) deposit beneath shallow to deep cover. The project area has seen limited modern exploration and has only recently been recognised as having potential to host IOCG deposits. Evolution and Menninnie Metals are planning detailed gravity and geochemical surveys which are expected to commence in late August when ground conditions are expected to have improved following the winter rainy period.

APPENDIX 1 – ERNEST HENRY REPORTING

This Appendix outlines the reporting of Evolution’s share of its economic interest in the Ernest Henry operation.

Production

Gold and copper concentrate production is reported in the same month as it is produced at Ernest Henry.

Sales

Copper and silver sales revenue are recognised in the same month as their production is reported. Copper and silver is sold in accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore where the metal is received and sold immediately. Settlement is in the form of cash in the third month after the month of production. The price of the copper and silver is determined by reference to the average monthly price for the second month after the month of production.

Gold sales and gold revenues are recognised when the metal is received and sold by Evolution. In accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore, bullion is delivered to Evolution’s metal account in the third month after the month of production.

AISC and AIC metrics for the 2017 financial year have been reported from the month of November 2016. Gold produced was assumed to equal gold sold when calculating AISC and AIC for quarters two and three of the 2017 financial year. From quarter four of the 2017 financial year, the actual volume of gold sold is used to calculate AISC and AIC.

Production and development costs

For financial reporting (statutory) purposes, monthly production costs are allocated between copper concentrate and gold based on their relative market value. Production costs are expensed when the product is received and sold by Evolution.

For quarterly reporting purposes in the 2017 financial year, Evolution’s share of all cash production costs for Ernest Henry are reported in the same quarter as the costs are incurred. In subsequent periods, amounts reported quarterly will be in line with the amount reported for statutory purposes.

Amortisation of prepayment

For accounting purposes, the A$880.0 million upfront payment for the Ernest Henry economic interest has been allocated to gold (A$384.0 million) and copper (A$496.0 million) concentrate and will be amortised in line with the sales profile of the gold and copper concentrate. Consistent with cash production costs, amortisation is expensed when the product is sold.

For the 2017 financial year, amortisation of the investment in Ernest Henry will be approximately 7% of the A$880.0 million (approximately 5% of gold and 8% of copper). In subsequent years it is expected that between 10.0 to 12.0% of the A$880.0 million will be amortised. The expected annual amortisation rate will be provided each year as a part of annual guidance. All other sustaining capital is amortised on a units of production basis over the life of mine.

For income tax purposes, Evolution has obtained an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) ruling to adopt a similar methodology as accounting for allocating and depleting the A$880.0 million upfront payment across the sales profile of the gold and copper concentrate.

APPENDIX 1 – ERNEST HENRY REPORTING

Cash Flow

Proceeds from sales are received in the third month after the month that production is reported.

In accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore, Evolution pays its share of operating and development expenditures in the third month after the month of production.

Mungari Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, 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
representation 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 completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘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,
or
unusual
commodities/mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules).

Sampling of gold mineralisation at Mungari was undertaken
using diamond core (surface and underground) and reverse
circulation (RC) drill chips.

All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill
core was sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation
related contacts, whilst RC samples were collected at 1m
downhole intervals. Sampling was carried out according to
Evolution protocols and QAQC procedures which comply with
industry best practice. All drill-hole collars were surveyed
using a total station theodolite or total GPS.

The sampling and assaying methods are appropriate for the
orogenic mineralised system and are representative for the
mineralisation style. The sampling and assaying suitability
was validated using Evolution’s QAQC protocol and no
instruments or tools requiring calibration were used as part of
the sampling process.

RC drilling was sampled to obtain 1m samples from which 3 to
5 kg was crushed and pulverised to produce a 30g to 50g
subsample for fire assay. Diamond drillcore sample intervals
were based on geology to ensure a representative sample,
with lengths ranging from 0.2 to 1.0m. Surface diamond
drilling was half core sampled. All diamond core samples
were dried, crushed and pulverised (total preparation) to

whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc.).

RC sampling was completed using a 4.5” to 5.5” diameter face
sampling hammer. Diamond holes from both surface and
underground were predominantly wireline NQ2 (50.5mm) or
HQ (63.5mm) holes.

All diamond core from surface and underground was
orientated using the reflex (act II or ezi-ori) tool.

Measures taken to maximise sample

between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.

RC drilling sample weights were recorded for selected sample
intervals and monitored for fluctuations against the expected
sample weight. If samples were below the expected weight,
feedback was given promptly to the RC driller to modify drilling
practices to achieve the expected weights.

All diamond core was orientated and measured during
processing and the recovery recorded into the drill-hole
database. The core was reconstructed into continuous runs on
a cradle for orientation marking. Holes depths were checked
against the driller’s core blocks.

Inconsistencies between the logging and the driller’s core
depth measurement blocks were investigated. Core recovery
has been excellent as all holes are drilled into fresh competent
rock. Surface drilling recoveries were generally excellent with
the exception of oxide zones however these rarely fell below
90%.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery include
instructions to drillers to slow down drilling rates or reduce the
coring run length in less competent ground.

Analysis of drill sample bias and loss/gain was undertaken
with the Overall Mine Reconciliation performance where
available.

are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.

Most diamond core drilled from surface was half cored
sampled and the remaining half was retained. In the oxide
zone, where cutting can wash away samples, some surface
holes were full core sampled. A proportion of underground
diamond core holes were 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
the representation of the Mungari mineralisation. Laboratories
performance was monitored as part of Evolution’s QAQC
procedure. 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 representation for gold
deposits within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

Quality control procedures adopted to maximise sample
representation 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 20) 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 representation include the
collection of field duplicates during RC drilling at a frequency
rate of 5%. Duplicate samples for both RC chips and diamond
core are collected during the sample preparation pulverisation
stage. A comparison of the duplicate sample 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.

and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

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
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.

All surface drill holes at Mungari have been surveyed for

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 variability.

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 survey measurement is at a spacing
typically 25-50m apart.

material.

Mineralisation at Frog’s Leg and Tadpole

is hosted within a number of steeply dipping NNW-SSE
structures that are vertical or dipping 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.

Resource Definition drilling is typically planned to intersect ore
domains in an orientation that does not introduce sample bias.
A small number of holes are drilled at sub-optimal orientations
to test for alternate geological interpretations.

Mineralisation at Emu is hosted within the quartz rich part of a
dolerite unit. Gold is associated with a sheeted vein array with
a dominant orientation of 50/125 (dip/dip direction) within a
structurally thickened area of quartz dolerite. Drilling was
conducted in a number of orientations to resolve the structural
controls on mineralisation. Estimated true widths have been
calculated based on the orientation of the drill hole with
respect to the dominant vein orientation

Mineralisation at Burgundy is hosted within a dolerite unit.
Gold is associated with sheeted to stockwork quartz veins and
associated arsenopyrite mineralisation.

Mineralisation at Lady Agnes is hosted within the Bent Tree
Basalt. Veining identified in the Bent Tree mine strikes NW-SE
and dips to the SW. All drilling has been perpendicular to this
orientation

Mineralisation at Blue Funnel AC is poorly understood and
hence vertical holes are drilled to define anomalies for further
follow up.

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 Australia
who was a precursor company to La Mancha Resources
Australia Pty Ltd. Placer Dome Ltd was a 49% joint venture
partner during the first mining campaign in 2002 - 2003

Significant historical work has been performed across the
Regional Tenement package by numerous parties since the
original discovery of gold in the region c.1890. Recent
exploration commenced during the 1970’s onwards and has
included exploration for base metal and gold mineralisation
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 Burgundy prospect is located in the central portion of the
Mungari tenements and is structurally related to the Kunanulling
Shear Zone and Telegraph Syncline. Mineralisation occurs as a
stockwork vein array within a sheared dolerite/microdolerite on
the western limb of the Telegraph syncline. A narrow and more
diffuse zone of mineralisation occurs within volcanoclastic
sediments approximately 50m into the hangingwall from the
main zone. Mineralisation is truncated by at least 2 late D4
faults in the order of 10’s m.

The Emu deposit is located in the central portion of the Mungari
tenements and is located in the footwall to the Kunanulling
Shear zone. Mineralisation occurs as a sheeted vein array
within a structurally thickened area of quartz dolerite.

The Rayjax prospect in located in the southern portion of the
Mungari tenements at the Northern end of the Coolgardie camp.
Mineralisation occurs as a set of flat to gently dipping sheeted
vein arrays within a coarse dolerite unit. There appears to be
minimal alteration surrounding the veins and mineralisation
appears exclusively to occur within the veins.

The Lady Agnes prospect is located in the Ora Banda domain
and is hosted entirely within the bent tree basalt. Mineralisation
occurs in an oxidised zone of basalt and is potentially of
supergene source.

The Blue Funnel AC prospect is located in the Zuleika shear
corridor and overlays the Kurrawang. Mineralisation is hosted
within Archean bedrock and is interpreted to be of supergene
type

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

sampling.
Include reference to measures

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)

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.
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).

A combination of drilling techniques was used across the
Cracow Lodes. Diamond NQ3 (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.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample
recovery
and
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.

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.

Sample loss at Cracow was calculated at less 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

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

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.

The sample size collected is considered to be appropriate for
the size and characteristic of the gold mineralisation being
sampled.

Sample Analyses – The samples were analysed by 50g Fire
Assay for Au with Atomic Absorption (AAS) finish and was
performed at ALS Townsville. For Ag an Aqua Regia digest with
AAS finish was completed, also at ALS Townsville.

An analytical duplicate was performed every 20 samples,
aligned in sequence with the crushing and pulverising
duplicates. The Fire Assay Method is a total technique.

No other instruments that required calibration were used for
analysis to compliment the assaying at Cracow.

Thirteen externally certified standards at a suitable range of gold
grades (including blanks) were inserted at a minimum rate of
1:20 with each sample submission. All non-conforming results
were investigated and verified prior to acceptance of the assay
data. Results that did not conform to the QAQC protocols were
not used in resource estimations.

Monthly QAQC reports were produced to watch for any trends or
issues with bias, precision and accuracy.

An inspection of both the prep lab in Brisbane and the assay lab
in Townsville was conducted in December 2016 by Cracow
personnel.

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_
was undertaken through a combination of site specific electronic
data-entry sheets, synchronisation from_Logchief_and upload of
.csv files.

No adjustments are made to the finalised assay data received
from the laboratory.

Down-hole surveys were captured by an Eastman camera for
older holes and a Reflex camera on recent holes.

The mine co-ordinate system at Cracow is named the Klondyke

Drill hole exploration results are not being reported.

Sample spacing and distribution was deemed sufficient for
resource estimation.

Spacing and distribution varied a range of drill patterns: 20x20,
40x40x and 80x80.

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.
A small number of lodes utilised a 1.5m composite as was
appropriate for the sample set for those deposits.

Sample bias from non-orientation of core is considered minimal
in respect to mineralisation at Cracow. All drill holes reported
were whole core sampled

Drill holes were designed to ensure angles of sample
intersection with the mineralisation was as perpendicular as
possible. Where a poor intersection angle of individual holes
locally distorted the interpreted mineralisation, these holes may
not have been used to generate the wireframe.

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.
It is unconformably underlain to the east by the Torsdale Beds,
which consist of rhyolitic and dacitic lavas and pyroclastics with
inter-bedded trachytic and andesitic volcanics, sandstone,
siltstone, and conglomerate.

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.
Drill hole Information A summary of all information

o elevation or RL of the drillhole
collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole length and interception
depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the

Data aggregation

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

Intercept length weighted average techniques, and minimum
grade truncations and cut-off grades have been used in this
report. Due to the nature of the drilling, some composite grades
are less than the current resource cut off of 2.8g/t, but remain
significant as they demonstrate mineralisation in veins not
previously modelled.

Composite, as well as internal significant values are stated for
clarity.

No metal equivalent values are used.
