Forward looking statement

  • These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or “the Company”) include forward looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.

  • Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.

  • Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control.

  • Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

Cowal hi hli hts g g

==> picture [117 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

One of the most attractive gold assets in Australia

  • Cowal is a low cost operation with an annual AISC around A$900/oz

  • Large scale production averaging around 250 koz per annum

  • Significant potential for mine life extension via satellite pits and regional exploration

Low risk, low complexity asset

  • Australia is a low risk political jurisdiction

  • Low technical complexity – conventional mining and processing

  • Low strip ratio

  • Excellent infrastructure – grid power, road access, modern capital assets

  • Excellent community relations and environmental record

Significant production and cost opportunities

  • 2.2 Moz in reserves and 5.1 Moz in resources with mine currently permitted to 2024

  • Opportunities to optimise asset and reduce operating costs

  • As at December 2014 - this information is extracted from the report entitled “Resources and Reserves increased at Cowal” released to ASX on 26 August 2015 and is available to view on www.evolutionmining.com.au. Further information on slides 10 and 11

Modification proposal & general sensitivity to mining operations

  • −Barrick submitted a proposal (Modification 11) to the NSW Government in September 2013 seeking to extend the operational life of the Cowal Gold Mine from 2019 to 2024 (Phase H Cutback, increase waste dump heights, tailings dam)

==> picture [117 x 70] intentionally omitted <==

Stakeholder Perceptions Survey undertaken during 2011

  • The survey found local stakeholders hold a positive view of Cowal as a member of, and contributor to, the local community

  • The survey informs annual reviews of Cowal’s Stakeholder Engagement Plan

  • −Determination of this application granted July 2014

  • −Mine now permitted until December 31, 2024

  • −Sensitivity to mining adjacent to the lake has been mitigated by Cowal’s focus on environmental management and stakeholder engagement

Blasting and Noise Impacts

  • −Sustained engagement with relevant stakeholders and government agencies has resulted in a marked reduction in complaints

  • −Modification 11 approval requires offer to buy-out 3 properties at fair market value – included in 2015 capex plan

Indigenous Landowners

  • −Effective implementation of the Native Title Deed and Indigenous Peoples Plan has ensured ongoing good relationships with the Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation (WCC) and the broader local Indigenous community

Processing operations

7.5 Mtpa[1] processing facility designed to process sulphide and oxide ore separately

Oxide ore processing:

  • Single stage gyratory crushing; grinding via 36’ SAG mill

  • Leach feed thickening and cyanide leaching

  • Destruction of cyanide using SMBS or Caro’s Acid (Peroxymonosulfuric acid)

  • Gold recovery by elution of loaded carbon through an Anglo American elution circuit, electrowinning and gold smelting in an LPG fired barring furnace follows

Sulphide ore processing:

  • Crushing via same gyratory crusher; grinding using same SAG mill and a 22’x 36.5’ ball mill and pebble crushing

  • The ball mill is in closed circuit with cyclones for particle size classification. Cyclone underflow reports to flash flotation cells, overflow is directed to the flotation circuit

  • Flotation concentrate is further reduced in size in a fine grinding circuit using 750 kW Vertimill and stirred media detritors

  • Concentrate is then pumped to the CIL circuit for gold extraction

  • Cyanide in the leach tailings is then destroyed using SMBS with Caro’s acid as a back-up process; CIL tailings are blended with the flotation tailings prior to disposal in the tailings storage facility

  • Gold recovery as per oxide ore

1.Circuits can be reconfigured to handle oxide or sulphide ore – currently configured for sulphide.
