OVERVIEW

Group Total Recordable Injury Frequency (TRIF[5] ) at 31 March was 10.17 (31 Dec: 9.4).

Evolution’s focus on ESG performance was recognised with an improved rating from Sustainalytics ranking Evolution 26 out of 123 companies in the precious metals industry.

Group gold production for the March 2022 quarter was 148,787oz (Dec qtr: 148,084oz) at a sector leading AISC of $990/oz (Dec qtr: $1,348/oz). Evolution delivered a record mine operating cash flow of $268.9 million (Dec qtr: $202.7 million) during the quarter. Net mine cash flow was $124.5 million (Dec qtr: $53.0 million). Mine capital investment for the quarter was on plan at $143.6 million (Dec qtr: $147.9 million). The majority of this capital relates to the Cowal Underground and Red Lake. As at 31 March 2022, Evolution had cash in the bank of $537.8 million and net debt[6] of $1,295 million.

On 6 January 2022 Evolution completed the acquisition of Ernest Henry. The contribution from Ernest Henry in the March 2022 quarter demonstrates how transformational this asset is. Copper production more than tripled to 13,352t, and the operation generated $173.8 million of net mine cash flow. Ernest Henry’s combined metal production expressed on a gold equivalent basis was 95,217oz at an AISC of $1,149/oz (excludes additional gold delivered under the previous economic interest relating to the December quarter)[7] .

The Red Lake transformation made further progress in the quarter with significant improvements in key performance metrics resulting in records set for ore mined and tonnes processed. Along with a 22% higher average grade, gold production increased by 67% to 33,056oz and is expected to exceed 40,000oz in the June 2022 quarter.

Whilst Cowal was exposed to impacts from COVID19 and significant rainfall, planned access to ore tonnes from Stage H resulted in a higher average grade processed. The award of the primary mining

and drilling contract for the Cowal Underground project is imminent and is the last material contract to be executed. The project remains on budget and schedule.

Mungari’s processed gold grade for the quarter rose by 10% to 3.12g/t with an increased proportion of mill feed from the East Kundana Joint Venture (‘EKJV’). The integration activities are progressing well and whilst the labour market remains tight in Kalgoorlie, a number of roles have recently been filled. To date the operation has not been materially impacted by COVID-19 since the WA border opened and strict protocols remain in place.

For the second consecutive quarter Mt Rawdon has experienced extreme weather, with a significant rainfall event in February and March resulting in some instability in the north wall. The wall is being managed but it has restricted open pit material movements and access to higher grade ore. The impact of this rain event has been incorporated into the revised Group production guidance.

The Mt Rawdon 2GW Pumped Hydro Electricity Project is ongoing with the Feasibility Study due for completion in June 2023. The operation hosted a Queensland Government delegation in early April 2022 led by the Minister for Resources, the Honourable Scott Stewart, which was given an update on the project and the potential benefits it will deliver both to the local community and the State beyond the end of mine life.

Discovery drilling activities at the Cue Joint Venture confirmed the presence of multiple mineralised sulphide lodes developed along a gold mineralised footprint recently extended to 2.1km in aircore drilling. At Mungari, drilling on the Xmas Hangingwall structure in the Kundana underground area is consistently intersecting a high-grade vein structure that is parallel to and 30 – 50m from the actively mined Xmas vein.

7 Gold equivalent production calculated based on average realised gold and copper prices for Ernest Henry the quarter: Gold $2,435/oz and Copper: $14,020/t

OPERATIONS

Ernest Henry, Queensland (100%)

In the first quarter under full Evolution ownership, Ernest Henry produced 17,833oz of gold and 13,352t of copper at an exceptionally low AISC of negative $2,001/oz (Dec qtr: 21,093oz gold and 4,119t copper at negative $882/oz). Copper sales in the quarter were 13,439t at an average copper price of $14,020/t. Gold sales were higher than production at 39,049oz due to an additional 20,440oz sold relating to the cancellation of the previous economic interest, where gold sales were recognised three months after it was produced. Excluding the impact of those sales, Ernest Henry’s AISC for the quarter was negative $4,200/oz.

Operating mine cash flow for the quarter was $184.7 million (Dec qtr: $85.9M) and net mine cash flow was $173.8 million (Dec qtr: $79.5M), post sustaining capital of $8.9 million (Dec qtr: $6.4M) and major capital of $2.0 million. The net mine cash flow included $48.2 million from the 20,440oz of additional gold sold in the quarter.

Ore mined and processed were both lower in the quarter due to a planned eight day shutdown of the process plant and underground crusher in February. Ore mined was 1,399kt at an average grade of 0.48g/t gold and 1.04% copper and ore processed was 1,419kt processed at an average grade of 0.48g/t gold and 1.04% copper. Gold recovery of 80.9% and copper recovery of 95.2% was achieved with mill utilisation at 88.2%.

Underground lateral development was 2,231m including 574m of rehabilitation development (Dec qtr: 2,294m). Development rates are expected to increase in the June 2022 quarter with the addition of a fourth development drill into the fleet.

Ernest Henry’s combined metal production expressed on a gold equivalent basis was 95,217oz at an AISC of $1,149/oz (excluding the additional gold sales)[17] .

The Pre-Feasibility Study on the mine extension is progressing well with completion on track for end of 2022 calendar year and an updated Mineral Resource estimate is planned for release in the September 2022 quarter.

17 Gold equivalent production calculated based on average realised gold and copper prices for Ernest Henry the quarter: Gold $2,435/oz and Copper: $14,020/t

OPERATIONS

Red Lake, Ontario (100%)

Red Lake delivered a strong quarter with several records broken during the month of March. Gold produced was 33,056oz for the quarter at an AISC $2,394/oz (Dec qtr: 19,832oz, AISC $3,060/oz). Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was $4.8 million (Dec qtr: $3.7M). Net mine cash flow was negative $41.1 million (Dec qtr: negative $49.0M) post sustaining capital of $9.8 million and major capital of $35.4 million (Dec qtr: $13.9M and $36.9M respectively). Major capital comprises the construction of the Campbell Young Dickenson (CYD) decline, mine development at Lower Red Lake and Lower Campbell to recapitalise the mines, and mine development and diamond drilling at Bateman.

Development metres are now consistently above the 1,200m per month target with 3,919m achieved in the quarter (Dec qtr: 3,803m), including 1,376m in March, the highest monthly development rate achieved since May 2017. The CYD decline advanced 659m in the quarter, including 259m in March which was achieved with a single development drill. First production ore from the decline is planned for the September 2022 quarter.

Ore mined was 243kt at 4.61g/t gold (Dec qtr: 194kt at 3.95g/t Au). Having consistently delivered above 1,200m per month of development for the last six months, the Red Lake transformation plan now has a goal to consistently and safely mine 3,000tpd which was achieved in March with 106kt mined, surpassing the previous monthly record in the history of the operation by more than 20kt. Ongoing improvements to mining practices continue to drive reductions in stope dilution that improved mined grades.

Other notable milestones achieved in the quarter include:

  • First stope ore was mined from MMTP (4,800t at 6.51g/t gold) and Aviation (1,500t at 5.53g/t gold) zones

  • Commissioning of the first underground battery electric loader

  • Continued improvements in drill and blast performance including a 36% increase in production drilling driving increased drill stocks and improved stope turnover rates

  • Commissioning of the mining control room which will be used to drive operational efficiency improvements

Commissioning of new diesel locomotives for the High Speed Tram enabled ore haulage from Cochenour to the Reid shaft to increase 47% to 117kt for the quarter (Dec Qtr: 79kt) including a new record of 45kt moved in the month of March.

The Campbell and Red Lake process plants performed exceptionally well with 239kt of ore processed at an average grade 22% higher than the prior quarter at 4.74g/t gold (Dec qtr: 176kt at 3.89g/t). In March, the mills combined to process 90kt for the month which is the highest throughput achieved in the history of the operation. Campbell mill achieved a record throughput of 2,163tpd[18] .

18 Permission granted for the daily throughput restriction of 2,000tpd to be lifted for a limited trial in the June 2022 half-year to support the Campbell mill expansion

OPERATIONS

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal produced 53,321oz of gold at an AISC of $1,292/oz (Dec qtr: 60,371oz, AISC $998/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was $57.9 million (Dec qtr: $80.5M). Net mine cash flow was negative $11.2 million (Dec qtr: $17.0M), post sustaining capital of $6.5 million and major capital of $62.6 million.

Cowal was impacted by significant rainfall on the east coast of Australia early in the quarter. Resourcing was also challenging due to COVID-19 impacts with over 25% of the Evolution and permanent contractor workforce testing positive during the quarter, with additional time lost due to workers isolating as close contacts of positive cases. The impact of these events has been incorporated into the revised Group production guidance.

Stage H mining progressed with increasing access to higher grade ore supporting an increasing plant head grade quarter on quarter. A bi-annual planned seven day process plant shutdown was also successfully completed, with the lower throughput and production resulting in a higher AISC.

The underground project continues on budget and schedule for critical path activity. Major procurement milestones have progressed during the quarter and the award of the primary mining and drilling contract is imminent, which is the last of the material contracts (>$10M) to be executed. First production ore from the project is expected by the June 2023 quarter when the paste plant is commissioned.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 33,296oz of gold at an AISC $1,974/oz (Dec qtr: 34,412oz, AISC $1,829/oz). Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was $20.1 million (Dec qtr: $20.7 million). Net mine cash flow was $7.8 million (Dec qtr: negative $5.6 million) post sustaining and major capital investment of $12.3 million (Dec qtr: $15.1 million). Major capital comprised underground development at Kundana and East Kundana, and study costs for the mill expansion study.

Total underground ore mined was 270kt at an average grade of 3.46g/t gold (Dec qtr 287kt at 3.61g/t) and underground development was 2,249m (Dec qtr 2,717m). Open pit total material mined was 1,464kt (Dec qtr: 2,663kt). Open pit ore mined was 307kt at a grade of 1.15g/t gold (Dec qtr: 296kt at 1.08g/t).

The average grade processed for the quarter increased by 10% from 2.84g/t to 3.12g/t gold with a larger processing campaign of ore from the East Kundana Joint Venture. Total plant throughput was 462kt (Dec qtr: 457kt).

The integration of the Kundana assets is underway to create “One Mungari” with standardised systems and processes, and the sharing of equipment and workforce across what were previously three separately run operations. Operational synergies have already started to be realised with the combination of the underground maintenance and training teams.

Underground development increased to 1,613m (Dec qtr: 1,033m) with the second development drill ramping up throughout the quarter. A total of 4,820m has been executed under contract to date. Underground diamond drilling is progressing ahead of schedule with two drill rigs completing 12km of drilling this quarter (Dec qtr: 14.6km), targeting resource definition for early production areas.

OPERATIONS

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 11,281oz of gold at an AISC of $2,386/oz (Dec qtr: 12,377oz at $1,842/oz).

Mine operating cash flow was $3.5 million (Dec qtr: $11.9M). Net mine cash flow of negative $2.6 million (Dec qtr: negative $0.1M) was generated post sustaining and major capital investment of $6.2 million (Dec qtr: $12.0M). Ore processed was 814kt at an average grade of 0.52g/t gold (Dec qtr: 884kt at 0.51g/t Au) with plant recovery of 83.4% (Dec qtr: 85.7%).

For the second consecutive quarter Mt Rawdon experienced extreme weather with a significant rainfall event in February and March which resulted in some instability in the north wall. Although this is being managed it did impact access to higher grade ore from the open pit and required the crusher to be shut down for nine days. The impact of this rain event has been incorporated into the revised Group production guidance.

Processing throughput performance was again strong, although the plant was forced to run at a lower rate whilst the crusher was offline. Grades were lower due to stockpile material being fed as a result of lower open pit ore tonnes mined.

In early April, Mt Rawdon hosted a delegation from the Queensland Government led by the Minster for Resources the Honourable Scott Stewart. This visit included an update on the Mt Rawdon Pumped Hydro Electricity project and the significant contribution it can make to delivering Queensland’s renewable energy ambitions. The Feasibility Study is ongoing and due for completion in June 2023.

Highlights

  • At the Cue Joint Venture (EVN earning 75%), diamond drilling continued to return ore grade intercepts over wide thicknesses. The best result for the quarter was 19.00m (18.30m etw) grading 4.43g/t gold (22CUDD001). Aircore drilling 500 metres south of West Island has intersected 2.00m grading 119.60g/t gold (21MOAC148) identifying a new target on the favourable dolerite. The latest results confirm the presence of multiple mineralised sulphide lodes developed along a gold mineralised footprint which has been extended to 2.1km long in recent aircore drilling

  • At Mungari, drilling on the Xmas Hangingwall Lode in the Kundana underground area is consistently intersecting a high-grade vein. The best result during the quarter was 0.30m (0.05m etw) grading 12.80g/t gold (XMRT21033) which extends the vein structure down dip of previous drilling. The structure is parallel to and 30 – 50m from the actively mined Xmas vein

Cue Joint Venture (EVN earning 75% from Musgrave Minerals Ltd, ASX:MGV)

Cue drilling highlights for the March quarter are highlighted below.

  • 5.04m (4.60m etw) grading 2.58g/t gold from 265.46m (21MODD034)

  • 6.55m (6.00m etw) grading 4.66g/t gold from 253.45m (21MODD035)

  • 2.40m (2.30m etw) grading 7.10g/t gold from 137.90m (22CUDD001)

  • 19.00m (18.30m etw) grading 4.43g/t gold from 282.00m (22CUDD001) o incl. 10.50m (9.80m etw) grading 6.25g/t gold from 287.00m

  • 2.90m (2.80m etw) grading 9.59g/t gold from 308.10m (22CUDD002)

  • 12.00m (11.40m etw) grading 4.89g/t gold from 322.00m (22CUDD002) o incl. 9.00m (etw 8.50m) grading 6.37g/t gold from 322.00m

Gold mineralisation is associated with a series of shear zones that obliquely crosscut a favourable dolerite host unit (Figures 1 and 2). Follow-up drilling in the June 2022 quarter will focus on understanding the potential scale of the mineral system.

Results received this quarter from aircore drilling completed late in 2021 have returned the following significant results:

  • 2.00m grading 18.06g/t Au from 74.0m (21MOAC206)

  • 2.00m grading 119.60g/t Au from 174.0m (21MOAC148)

Red Lake, Ontario (100%)

Discovery drilling underground at Lower Campbell continued testing the continuity of high-grade intercepts reported in the December quarter on the Western R Zone extension. Two drill holes were wedged from the original parent hole and returned the following significant intersections (Figure 3).

  • 0.70m (0.59m etw) grading 51.99g/t gold from 857.30m (D48069BW)

  • 2.50m (2.10m etw) grading 29.43g/t gold from 885.25m (D48069BW)

Mineralisation in this drill hole is located 20m from the original intercepts in D48069, confirming continuity locally of high-grade mineralisation along the R-zone corridor at Lower Campbell. The second wedge hole drilled (D48069AW) returned lower grade mineralisation but did show the presence of the same geological structure. Follow-up drilling is underway from closer platforms focused on broad (150m) step-outs to confirm the interpretated link between the reported intercepts and Mineral Resources at Lower Campbell (Figure 4).

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Kundana

Resource extension drilling at Kundana included several holes drilled 30 to 50m beyond the main Xmas ore body structure to intersect and extend the Xmas Hangingwall Lode. An Inferred Mineral Resource for the Hangingwall L

ode was updated to 65kt at 46.7g/t gold for 97koz[21] in the December 2021 Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement. Step-out drilling results in the March quarter are summarised below:

  • 0.13m (0.10m etw) grading 8.00g/t gold (XMRT21034)

  • 1.99m (0.10m etw) grading 4.80g/t gold (XMRT21025)

  • 0.30m (0.05m etw) grading 12.80g/t gold (XMRT21033)

The above results are important because they locate and extend the vein structure down dip and along strike. Future drilling will target the high-grade lode portion of the structure with the aim of expanding the Mineral Resource into these locations.

The vein averages 30cm wide and has been modelled along the same structural position as the Skinner’s trend at Raleigh and is interpreted to link to a similar position in the hangingwall of the Strzelecki Lode (Figure 5). The Strzelecki hangingwall position has not been effectively tested and represents a new target opportunity at Kundana with a strike potential of 500m.

Cue JV Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Cue JV Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Cue JV 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 Au mineralisation at the Cue JV was undertaken using
diamond core and aircore (AC) chips (surface).
 All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill core was
sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation related contacts. AC
sampling was conducted in 2m composite intervals downhole. Sampling
was carried out according to Evolution protocols and QAQC procedures.
All drill-hole collars were surveyed for initial drilling and picked up after
drilling using a handheld 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.
 Diamond drill-core sample intervals were based on geology to ensure a
representative sample, with lengths ranging from 0.3m to 1.2m. Surface
diamond drilling was half core sampled.
 One metre AC samples are laid out in rows of 20 on the ground and
composite 2m samples were collected by scoop sampling the one metre
piles to produce a 2-3kg composite sample which was sent to the
Genalysis– Intertek laboratory in Maddington, Perth for analysis. Sample
condition data is recorded (wet, damp or dry) in the database. Generally,
recovery is 80-100% but occasionally down to 30% on rare occasions
when ground water pressure is very high.
 All diamond core and AC chip samples were dried, crushed and
pulverised (total preparation) to produce a 50g charge for fire assay of
Au. A suite of additional multi elements are determined using four-acid
digest with ICP/MS and/or an ICP/AES finish for some selected intervals
for pathfinder and lithostratigraphic use. These intervals are selected at
the geologist’s discretion.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).
 Diamond holes from surface were wireline PQ (85mm diameter), HQ
(63.5mm diameter) and some NQ (45.1mm diameter) holes.
 All diamond core from surface core was orientated using the Reflex ACT
III bottom of hole orientation tool.
 The diamond drilling program reported here was undertaken by West
Core Drilling Pty Ltd utilising a LF90D drill rig.
 The aircore drilling program was undertaken Ausdrill Ltd with a 3-inch drill
pipe and blade (76mm) or hammer (76mm) using a custom built Lake
Crawler drill rig and a KL150 track mounted aircore rig.
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.
 All diamond core was orientated and measured during processing and
the recovery of individual core runs recorded. The core was reconstructed
into continuous runs on a cradle for orientation marking. Hole depths were
checked against driller’s core blocks.
 Inconsistencies between the logging and the driller’s depth measurement
blocks are investigated.
 Diamond core samples are considered dry. The sample recovery and
condition is recorded every metre. Generally, recovery is 98-100% but in
weathered material occasionally down to 30% on rare occasions when
ground is very broken. AC drill samples are dry until ground water is
intersected. The sample size and condition (wet, damp, dry) is recorded
every metre. Generally, recovery is 80-100% but occasionally down to
30% on rare occasions when ground water pressure is very high.
 The cyclone and sample buckets are routinely cleaned to reduce the
likelihood of cross sample contamination.

appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel etc.) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
 Diamond core has been geologically logged to the level of detail required
for a Mineral Resource estimation. RQD measurements and geotechnical
logging were taken from diamond core and recorded.
 All logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature recording features
such as structural data, sample recovery, lithology, mineralogy, alteration,
mineralisation types, vein density/type, oxidation state, weathering,
colour etc. All holes are photographed wet. Structural measurements are
taken from core using a Kenometer instrument.
 All diamond and AC holes were logged in entirety from collar to end of
hole. Drill logs are loaded directly into the acQuire database by the
geologist.
 Drill core is cut on site by an automated Almonte core saw and half core
is analysed.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality

preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.
 Diamond core was drilled from surface and was half core sampled and
the remaining half was retained.
 Aircore samples were collected as 2m composites for all drill holes in the
current program using a scoop methodology.
 Sample preparation of diamond and AC samples was undertaken by
external laboratories according to the sample preparation and assaying
protocol established to maximise the representation of orogenic style gold
mineralisation. The laboratories performance was monitored as part of
Evolution’s QAQC procedure.
 Laboratory inspections are routinely undertaken to monitor the
laboratories compliance sampling and sample preparation protocol.
 The sample and size (1.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size (>90%
passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly utilised practice for
effective sample representation for orogenic gold deposits.
 Quality control procedures adopted to maximise sample representation
for all sub-sampling stages include the collection of duplicates (~1 in30)
and the insertion of certified reference material (CRM) as assay
standards (1 in 50) and the insertion of blank samples at appropriate
intervals for early-stage exploration programs. High, medium and low
grade gold CRM are used. 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.
 Individual samples weigh less than 5kg to ensure total preparation at the
laboratory pulverization stage. The sample size is deemed appropriate
for the grain size of the material being sampled.
 Samples for diamond drill holes 21MODD034 to 21MODD040 were sent
to the Genalysis – Intertek laboratory in Maddington, Perth and samples
from diamond drill holes 22CUDD001 and 22CUDD002 were sent to the
ALS laboratory in Malaga, Perth. Samples are pulverized to 85% passing
-75um and two metre composite samples are analysed using a 50g fire
assay with ICP-MS (inductively coupled plasma - mass spectrometry)
finish gold analysis (0.005ppm detection limit).
 Individual one metre gold samples are analysed using a 50g fire assay
with ICP-MS finish for gold.
 The pulp and bulk residue are retained at the lab until further notice.
 Duplicate samples are inserted in visually mineralised zones. 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 industry
standards.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments etc. the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations factors
applied and their derivation, etc.
The sampling preparation and assaying protocol used for this program
was developed to ensure the quality and suitability 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 widely used in early stage exploration
programs of this nature in the Cue region.
In aircore drilling all samples through the cover-basement contact and
into the Archaean regolith are analysed as 2m composites. Analysis is by
50g fire assay with ICP-MS finish for gold. Multi-element analysis is
undertaken on all end of hole samples.
On all samples, analysis is undertaken by Intertek-Genalysis and ALS

Sampling of gold mineralisation at Red Lake Operation was
undertaken using diamond core (surface and underground).

All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill core
was sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation related
contacts. Sampling was carried out according to Red Lake
Operations 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 Red Lake Operations QAQC protocol and no
instruments or tools requiring calibration were used as part of the
sampling process.

Diamond drill core sample intervals were based on geology to
ensure a representative sample, with lengths ranging from 0.30 to
1m. Diamond drilling was half core sampled. All diamond core
samples were dried, crushed and pulverised (total preparation) to
produce a 50g charge for fire assay of Au. A suite of multi elements
are determined using four-acid digest with ICP/MS and/or an
ICP/AES finish for some sample intervals.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. 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.).

Drilling on site is conducted using diamond drill rigs, the core is
extracted using a standard tube and core diameter is NQ2 (50.6mm)
in size,

All exploration drill core is orientated using the Tru-Core device.

For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample

Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in-situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to
the grain size of the material being
sampled.

Sample preparation of diamond samples was undertaken by
external laboratories according to the sample preparation and
assaying protocol established to maximise the representation of the
Red Lake Operations mineralisation. Laboratories performance was
monitored as part of Red Lake Operations QAQC procedure.
Laboratory inspections were undertaken to monitor the laboratories
compliance to the Red Lake Operations sampling and sample
preparation protocol.

The sample and size (1.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size (>90%
passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly utilised
practice for effective sample representation for gold deposits within
the Orogenic Gold deposits of the Superior Craton Canada.

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 and always after a sample
identified as having visible gold. The quality control performance was
monitored as part of Red Lake Operations QAQC procedure.

The sample preparation has been conducted by commercial
laboratories. All samples are oven dried (60°C), jaw crushed to 90%
passing <2mm and riffle split to a maximum sample weight of 1kg as
required. The primary sample is then pulverised in a one stage
process, using a LM2 pulveriser, to a particle size of >90% passing
75um. Approximately 250g 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 four months.

Measures taken to ensure sample representation include the
collection of field duplicates during diamond core sampling drilling at
the geologist’s discretion and within the ore zone. Duplicate samples
for diamond core are collected during the sample preparation
crushing and pulverisation stage. A comparison of the duplicate
sample vs. the primary sample assay result was undertaken as part
of Red Lake Operations QAQC protocol. It is considered that all sub-
sampling and lab preparations are consistent with other laboratories
in Canada and are satisfactory for the intended purpose.

The sample sizes are considered appropriate and in line with
industry standards.

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory procedures
used and whether the technique is
considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates,
external laboratory checks) and whether
acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of
bias)
and
precision
have
been
established.

The sampling preparation and assaying protocol used at Red Lake
Operations was developed to ensure the quality and suitability of the
assaying and laboratory procedures relative to the mineralisation
types.

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

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
North Western Ontario region. Screen fire assay have also been
used to validate the fire assay techniques.

Quality control samples were routinely inserted into the sampling
sequence and also inserted at the discretion of the geologist 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.

 Mineralized zones in the Red Lake-Campbell deposit are
distinguished first by spatial orientation relative to structural corridors
and second by the style of mineralization. It is common for
mineralized zones to have multiple styles of mineralization within the
same host lithology.
 There are four types of mineralization in Red Lake-Campbell Deposit;
1) Vein Style Gold Mineralization, 2)
Vein and Sulphide Style Gold Mineralization, 3) Disseminated

 The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures at Red Lake is not considered to have
introduced a sampling bias and is not considered to be material.
 Resource Definition and Exploration drilling is typically planned to
intersect mineralised 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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample

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.

cancellations and re-staking of the area. Both mines opened in the
late 1940’s. Red Lake and Campbell Mine were combined in 2006
when Goldcorp purchased Campbell Mine.

The earliest known exploration on the Cochenour–Willans property
was in 1925. Cochenour–Willans Gold Mines Ltd. was incorporated
in 1936 and production began in 1939 at a rate of 136–181 t/d.
Operations ran for 32 years, from 1939–1971. It was acquired by
Goldcorp in 2008.

Aside from the Red Lake gold mines and Cochenour mine, Evolution

The mineralization within the Red Lake Operations can be classified
as an Archean greenstone belt-hosted gold deposit.

Red Lake Operations is hosted in the Red Lake greenstone belt
within the Uchi Domain on the southern margin of the North Caribou
Terrane of the Superior Province, Canada.

Red Lake Operations is underlain mainly by tholeiitic basalt and
locally by komatiitic basalt of the Balmer Assemblage. The mine
sequence also includes felsic, peridotitic and other mafic to
lamprophyric intrusive rocks of various younger ages. Both Red
Lake- Campbell and Cochenour deposits are hosted within
significantly folded and sheared portions of the Balmer assemblage.
Shear zones act as primary hydrothermal fluid corridors and host
significant portions of the gold mineralization in the area. Other
significant mineralized structures occur within lower-strain areas of
the stratigraphy, usually associated with brittle conjugate fracture
systems in close proximity to lithological boundaries possessing high
competency contrasts.

Gold mineralization is hosted in a variety of rock types within the Red
Lake Greenstone belt, although the majority of the productive zones
occur as vein systems accompanying sulphide replacement within
sheared mafic to komatiitic basalts of the Balmer Assemblage.

Gold bearing zones in the Red Lake-Campbell and Cochenour
deposit are distinguished first by spatial orientation relative to
structural corridors and second by the style of mineralization. It is
common for zones to have multiple styles of mineralization within the
same host lithology. There are four styles of mineralization common
in the Red Lake-Campbell and Cochenour deposit; Vein style, Vein
and Sulphide style, Disseminated Sulphide (Replacement) style and
free gold style.

At the Bateman project gold is characterised by two distinct
mineralisation styles; Vein hosted mineralisation and Sulfide
Replacement mineralisation. Mineralisation is generally hosted in
mafic units but limited mineralisation is also observed in felsic
intrusions and ultramafic rock types.

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to
the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material
drillholes:
o easting and northing of the drillhole collar
o elevation or RL of the drillhole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole length and interception depth
o hole length.

Refer to the drill hole information table in the Appendix of this report.
Data aggregation
methods

In
reporting
Exploration
Results,
weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g.
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.

For results reporting: A minimum grade truncation of 2.74gpt
standard is followed; no maximum grade truncation standard is
applied.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade
and longer lengths of low-grade results, a weighted average of the
values is applied to report the entire aggregate intercept. A short
length high-grade intercept is then highlighted as an including value
if result is >3 times the grade of the entire aggregate intercept in
which it is incorporated.

Intercept length weighted average techniques, minimum grade
truncations and cut-off grades have been used in this report.

If a hole has NSA values (ie gxm is less then 4 or 4g/t x m) the
interval has been removed from the hole, if the entire hole has NSA,
the hole is noted in the table in the appendix with an NSA value for
g/t.

Composite lengths and grade as well as internal significant values
are reported in Appendix.

No metal equivalent values are used.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (e.g.
‘downhole length, true width not known’)

At Red Lake Operations where reliable estimated true widths can be
calculated these have been included along with down hole
measurements.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole.

Strzelecki mineralisation consists of very narrow, very high-grade mineralisation
on a laminated vein hosted in the camp-scale Strzelecki Shear which abuts a
differentiated mafic intrusive, the Powder Sill Gabbro against intermediate
volcanoclastic rocks (Black Flag Group). A thin ‘skin’ of volcanogenic lithic
siltstone-sandstone lies between the gabbro and the Strzelecki shear. Being
bound by an intrusive contact on one side and a sheared contact on the other,
the thickness of the sedimentary package is highly variable from absent to about
forty metres true width.

o hole length.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. 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.
 All drill results are reported as aggregates across the target zone.
 No metal equivalent values are used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
If it is not known and only the
downhole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true
_width not known’) _
 The orientation of target structures is well known for all in-mine exploration
targets and true widths can be calculated and are reported accordingly.
 Both the downhole width and true width have been clearly specified when used.
 The assay results are reported as down hole intervals with an estimate of true
width provided in Appendix.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported.
These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole.
 Drill hole location diagrams and representative sections of reported exploration
results are provided either below or in the body of this report.
