Forward looking statements
==> picture [91 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
-
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.

Sustained annual cost savings
==> picture [91 x 59] intentionally omitted <==
Evolution has achieved sustainable Group-wide cost reductions of over A$42.1 million per annum
In addition, the Group is currently benefiting from lower diesel prices which have historically constituted between 5 – 7% of total site spend The range of reductions achieved on new contracts is between 5% – 35%

This information is extracted from the report entitled “Transformational Acquisition of Cowal Gold Mine” released to ASX on 25 May 2015 and is available to view on www.evolutionmining.com.au. The resources value for Cowal includes reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources estimated and disclosed according to Canadian NI 43-101 standards. The reserves and resources estimates and disclosures for Cowal do not purport to be JORC compliant. A competent person has not done sufficient work to reclassify these estimates of reserves and resources in accordance with the JORC code. It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration that these estimates of reserves and resources will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC code.

Mt Carlton production recorded as payable gold production. Silver production from the A39 silver deposit at Mt Carlton is recorded as gold equivalent using gold to silver ratio of 1:65.2 for the September quarter 2013, 1:61.9 for the December quarter 2013, 1:62.5 for the March quarter 2014 and 1:65.6 for the June quarter 2014.

Cautionary Statement
These foreign estimates are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code
A Competent Person has not yet done sufficient work to classify the foreign estimates as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code however Evolution notes the similarity of the Canadian NI 43-101 standards and the Australasian Code (JORC Code)
It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that these foreign estimates will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the JORC Code
This information is extracted from the report entitled “Transformational acquisition of Cowal Gold Mine” released on 25 May 2015 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au
Data is reported to significant figures to reflect appropriate precision and may not sum precisely due to rounding. Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) definitions were followed for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves US$1,400 per ounce, and a US$1.00=A$1.11 exchange rate. Bulk density varies from 1.74 t/m3 to 2.83 t/m3
Mineral Reserves are estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,100 per ounce, and US$1.00 = A$1.10 exchange rate. Proven category is stockpile material, hence no cut-off grade supplied Mineral Reserves as defined under CIM are equivalent to Ore Reserves as defined under JORC Code 2012

This information is extracted from the report entitled “Evolution to Combine with La Mancha Australia to Form a leading Growth-focused Australian Gold Producer” created on 20 April 2015 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves and data is reported to significant figures to reflect appropriate precision and may not sum precisely due to rounding White Foil Ore Reserve is reported above a 0.75g/t gold cut-off
White Foil open pit Ore Reserve is based on Feb 2015 Ore Reserve estimate, plus January 2015 and February 2015 mine production
White Foil open pit Mineral Resources are reported in two rows according to elevation: above 80m RL a lower cut-off grade is reported corresponding to possible open pit mining method and below 80m RL the resources are reported at a higher cut-off grade corresponding to a potential underground deposit and is reported as a global estimate
White Foil open pit was reported as a global estimate above a nominal RL to reflect potential open pit methods. White Foil underground deposit is reported as a global estimate White Foil open pit Mineral Resources are not constrained by an A$1,800/oz shell, and reported resources are based on the 2013 Mineral Resource model depleted to 31 December 2014 Frog's Leg Ore Reserve is reported above an indicative cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t gold for stoping and 0.8g/t gold for development Frog’s Leg Mineral Resources are reported above an indicative cut-off grade of 2.5g/t gold
