These materials have been prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or “the Company”) and La Mancha International BV (or “La Mancha”). However, no representation or warranty expressed or implied is made as to the fairness, accuracy, correctness, completeness or adequacy of any statements, estimates, opinions or other information contained in these materials. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company and La Mancha, their directors, officers, employees and agents disclaim liability for any loss or damage which may be suffered by any person (including because of negligence or otherwise) through the use (directly or indirectly) or reliance on anything contained in or omitted from these materials. The Company is responsible for the information relating to the Company and its assets and La Mancha is responsible for the information relating to La Mancha’s Australian assets (or “La Mancha Australia”).

The materials may include forward looking statements about the Company or La Mancha Australia. 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. To the extent that these materials contain forward looking information, the forward looking information is subject to a number of risk factors, including those generally associated with the gold industry. Any such forward looking statement also inherently involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance and achievements to be materially greater or less than estimated. These 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 and La Mancha Australia operate or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation. Any such forward looking statements are also based on current assumptions which may ultimately prove to be materially incorrect. Readers should not rely on these materials as a forecast by the Company or La Mancha.

(2) This information is extracted from the report entitled “Evolution to Combine with La Mancha Resources Australia to Form a Leading Growth-focused Australian Gold Producer” released to ASX on 20 April 2015 and is available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au.

(3) 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. (1), (2), (3) See Evolution, La Mancha and Cowal Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves slides appended to this presentation for details on Reserve and Resource estimates

(4) 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.

(5) Subject to completion of La Mancha Australia acquisition (announced on 20 April 2015), which remains subject to conditions including Evolution Shareholder approval (which is being sought at this meeting) and FIRB approval.

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

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

Mineral Resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.46 g/t Au for oxide material and 0.63 g/t Au for primary material and are estimated using an average long-term gold price of 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 Resources are exclusive of Mineral Reserves

  1. 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

  2. Data is reported to significant figures to reflect appropriate precision and may not sum precisely due to rounding

  3. White Foil Ore Reserve is reported above a 0.75g/t gold cut-off

  4. White Foil open pit Ore Reserve is based on Feb 2015 Ore Reserve estimate, plus January 2015 and February 2015 mine production

  5. 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

  6. 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

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. Frog’s Leg Mineral Resources are reported above an indicative cut-off grade of 2.5g/t gold
