Forward lookin statements g
==> 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.

All US dollar values in the presentation are calculated using an AUD:USD exchange rate of $0.75 unless otherwise stated.

Material Assumptions
The material assumptions on which the production target is based are presented in ASX release Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement” released to the ASX on 21 April 2016 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au. The material assumptions upon which on which the forecast financial information is based are: Silver A$20/oz
Copper A$6,000/t (A$2.72/lb)
Diesel A$90/bbl. (Gasoil 10ppm FOB Singapore)
Competent Persons Statement
The estimated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves underpinning the production target have been prepared by Competent Persons in accordance with the requirements in Appendix 5A (JORC Code). The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement
Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Inferred Mineral Resources
There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised
Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Target[1]
The Company believes there are reasonable grounds for reporting a proportion of the production target as an exploration target (Cracow) as historically unclassified material at Cracow has been converted and mined and is not formally reported in the annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised
Relevant proportions of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves underpinning the production target
The production target comprises 86% Probable Ore Reserves, 12% Inferred Mineral Resources and 2% Exploration Targets
- Refer to slide 133 of this presentation for further information on the Exploration Targets

The West, East and Link zones are high-grade exploration targets with a combined tonnage of approximately 650,000 to 750,000 tonnes grading 6g/t to 8g/t Au for 125,000 to 200,000 gold ounces. These Exploration Targets are not Mineral Resources and are conceptual in nature. This Exploration Target is based on existing resource drilling on 70m x 70m spacing and FY16 resource definition drilling around and below the V2 open pit. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource. Drilling programs targeting an Indicated Mineral Resource are planned for FY17. The exploration target’s grade, tonnes and ounce ranges were derived from the application of a +3 g/t Au interpreted mineralised envelope around historical and FY15 and FY16 drilling
Full details of exploration results relating to the exploration target are provided in the reports entitled “Quarterly Report for the period ending 31 March 2016” released 21 April 2016 and 31 December 2015” released 27 January 2016 - available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au

-
The ability to execute acquisition opportunities
-
The ability to integrate acquired assets

Sportspeople, entrepreneurs and leaders are all lauded for their actions. ‘Watching and waiting’ are rarely considered valuable. However, there are times when the most valuable thing you can do is to wait for the right opportunity. In the face of the relentless pressure to do something, waiting patiently is often extremely difficult to do.

Exploration Targets - Cracow
The Killarney exploration target of approximately 95,000 to 140,000 tonnes grading 4.2g/t to 6.3g/t Au for 13,000 to 29,000 gold ounces is based on exploration drill results. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual with insufficient drilling to define a Mineral Resource; drill spacing is currently 80m x 80m but closer in some areas. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource; however, drilling programs targeting an Inferred Mineral Resource are planned for FY17.
The Denmead exploration target of approximately 130,000 to 195,000 tonnes grading 3.9g/t to 5.9g/t Au for 16,000 to 37,000 gold ounces is based on exploration drill results. This drilling intersected the target at a sub-parallel angle with an average drill spacing of 80m x 80m. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual with insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource; however, the unclassified material is intended to be converted by Resource Definition drill programs completed in Q4 FY16 and to be undertaken in H1 FY17.
Both Killarney and Denmead’s grade, tonnes and ounce ranges were derived from the application of a +2.8g/t Au interpreted mineralised envelope around historical and FY15 and FY16 drilling.

| Criteria | Commentary |
Sampling techniques Reported holes consist of directional diamond core drilling. Diamond drill holes were positioned strategically to provide even spaced coverage, infill gaps in the existing drill data set and test extensions of known lodes/mineralised structures. Collar and down hole surveys were utilised to accurately record final locations. Industry standard sampling, assaying and QA/QC practices were applied to all holes. HQ drill core was halved with a diamond saw in 1 m intervals, irrespective of geological contacts. Oxide material that was too soft and friable to be cut with a diamond saw was split with a chisel. Core was cut to preserve the bottom of hole orientation mark and the top half of core sent for analysis to ensure no bias is introduced. NQ drill core was whole core sampled. Sample preparation was conducted by SGS West Wyalong and consisted of: Drying in the oven at 105ºC; crushing in a jaw crusher; fine crushing in a Boyd crusher to 2-3mm; rotary splitting a 3kg assay sub-sample if the sample is too large for the LM5 mill; pulverising in the LM5 mill to nominal; 90% passing 75 µm; and a 50g fire assay charge was taken with an atomic absorption (AA) finish. The detection limit was 0.01 g/t Au. Drilling techniques Parent holes were drilled to full depth with HQ. Daughter holes were drilled NQ. Core has been oriented using Act RD2 Reflex orientation tool. Drill sample recovery Provisions are made in the drilling contract to ensure that hole deviation is minimised and core sample recovery is maximised. This is monitored by a geologist on a hole by hole basis. Core recovery is recorded in the database. There are no significant core loss or sample recovery issues. Core is reoriented and marked up at 1m intervals. Measurements of recovered core are made and reconciled to the driller’s depth blocks, and if necessary, to the driller’s rod counts. There is no apparent relationship between core-loss and grade.

Sub-sampling techniques and sample HQ diamond core is cut with a diamond saw or chisel. Core is cut to preserve the bottom of hole orientation mark and the top half of core is always sent for analysis to ensure no bias is introduced. NQ Core preparation is whole core sampled. In 2003 Analytical Solutions Ltd conducted a Review of Sample Preparation, Assay and Quality Control Procedures for Cowal Gold Project. This study, combined with respective operating company policy and standards (North Ltd, Homestake, Barrick and Evolution) formed the framework for the sampling, assaying and QAQC protocols used at Cowal to ensure appropriate and representative sampling. Results per interval are reviewed for half core samples and if unexpected or anomalous assays are returned an additional quarter core may be submitted for assay.
-
Quality of assay data and laboratory SGS West Wyalong acts as the Primary Laboratory and ALS Orange conducts independent Umpire checks. Both labs operate to international standards and procedures and take part in the Geostatistical tests Round Robin inter-laboratory test survey. The Cowal QA/QC program comprises blanks, Certified Reference Material (CRM), inter-laboratory duplicate checks, and grind checks. 1 in 30 fine crush residue samples has an assay duplicate. 1 in 20 pulp residue samples has an assay duplicate. Wet screen grind checks are performed on 1 in 20 pulp residue samples. A blank is submitted 1 in every 38 samples, CRM’s are submitted 1 in every 20 samples. The frequency of repeat assays is set at 1 in 30 samples. All sample numbers, including standards and duplicates, are pre-assigned by a QA/QC Administrator and given to the sampler on a sample sheet. The QA/QC Administrator monitors the assay results for non-compliance and requests action when necessary. Batches with CRM’s that are outside the ±2SD acceptance criteria are re-assayed until acceptable results are returned. Material used for blanks is uncertified, sourced locally, comprising fine river gravel which has been determined to be below detection limit. A single blank is submitted every 38 samples. Results are reviewed by the QA/QC Administrator upon receipt for non-compliances. Any assay value greater than 0.1 g/t Au will result in a notice to the laboratory. Blank assays above 0.20 g/t Au result in re-assay of the entire batch. The duplicate assays (Au2) are taken by the laboratory during the subsampling at the crushing and pulverisation stages. The results were analysed using scatter plots and relative percentage difference (RPD) plots. Repeat assays represent approx. 10% of total samples assayed. Typically there is a large variance at the lower grades which is common for low grade gold deposits, however, the variance decreases to less than 10% for grades above 0.40 g/t Au, which is the cut-off grade used at Cowal. Approximately 5% of the pulps, representing a range of expected grades, are submitted to an umpire assay laboratory (ALS Orange) to check for repeatability and precision. Analysis of the data shows that the Principal Laboratory is performing to an acceptable level.
-
Verification of sampling and assaying No dedicated twinning drilling has been conducted for this drill program. Cowal uses DataShed software system to maintain the database. Digital assay results are loaded directly into the database. The software performs verification checks including checking for missing sample numbers, matching sample numbers, changes in sampling codes, inconsistent “from-to” entries, and missing fields. Results are not entered into the database until the QA/QC Administrator approves of the results. A QA/QC report is completed for each drill hole and filed with the log, assay sheet, and other appropriate data. Only the Senior Project Geologist and Database Manager have administrator rights to the database. Others can use and sort the database but not save or delete data.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Criteria Commentary
- Location of data points All drill hole collars were surveyed using high definition DGPS. All drill holes were surveyed using a downhole survey camera. The first survey reading was approximately 18m from surface, then at 30m intervals and, finally, at the end of each hole. To ensure correct steering of directional holes gyro surveys are run routinely at 100m intervals, as well as following all wedging/navigational cuts and on completion of each drill hole. The Gyro tool was referenced to the accurate surface surveyed position of each hole collar. Gyro survey readings were taken at 10m intervals on the way down to the base of each hole (“in run”) and at 10m intervals back to surface (“out run”). The results of these two surveys were then compared and a final survey produced if there was “closure” between surveys. The Gyro results were entered into the drill hole database without conversion or smoothing. An aerial survey was flown during 2003 by AAM Hatch. This digital data has been combined with surveyed drill hole collar positions and other features (tracks, lake shoreline) to create a digital terrain model (DTM). The survey was last updated in late 2014. In 2004, Cowal implemented a new mine grid system with the assistance of AAM Hatch. The current mine grid system covers all areas within the ML and ELs at Cowal with six digits.
Data spacing and distribution
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure
- The program from which this hole is a part of consists of 10 Parent holes with an average of 5 daughter holes each. Parent holes are spaced at 50m intervals, with daughter holes designed to achieve a 50m spacing at the target zone. All drilling is sampled at 1m intervals down hole.
Parent holes were drilled at nominally 55 degrees dip and daughter holes flatten as they progress. Parent holes were designed to optimise intersection angles, and nominally intersect perpendicular to mineralisation. There is no apparent bias in terms of the drill orientation that has been noted to date.
Sample security Drill contractors are issued with drill instructions by an Evolution geologist. The sheet provides drill hole names, details, sample requirements, and depths for each drill hole. Drill hole sample bags are prenumbered. The drill holes are sampled by Evolution personnel who prepare sample submission sheets. The submission sheet is then emailed to the laboratory with a unique submission number assigned. This then allows individual drill holes to be tracked. An SGS West Wyalong (SGS) representative collects the samples from site twice daily, however, if samples are being sent to ALS Orange, PJ & NA Freighters are used to collect the samples from site and deliver them to the laboratory. Upon arrival, the laboratory sorts each crate and compares the received samples with the supplied submission sheet. The laboratory assigns a unique batch number and dispatches a reconciliation sheet for each submission via email. The reconciliation sheet is checked and any issues addressed. The new batch name and dispatch information is entered into the tracking sheet. The laboratory processes each batch separately and tracks all samples through the laboratory utilising the LIMS system. Upon completion, the laboratory emails Standard Industry Format (SIF) files with the results for each batch to Evolution personnel. The assay batch files are checked against the tracking spreadsheet and processed. The drill plan is marked off showing completed drill holes. Any sample or QA/QC issues with the results are tracked and resolved with the laboratory.
Audits or reviews
QA/QC Audits of the Primary SGS West Wyalong Laboratory are carried out on an approximately quarterly basis and for the Umpire ASL Orange Laboratory approximately on a six monthly basis. Any issues are noted and agreed remedial actions assigned and dated for completion. Numerous internal audits of the database and systems have been undertaken by site geologists and company technical groups from North Ltd, Homestake and Barrick and Evolution. External audits were conducted in 2003 by RMI and QCS Ltd. and in 2011 and 2014 review and validation was conducted by RPA. Minor validation errors associated with the migration of historic databases to Datashed were identified and remediated. Recent audits have found no significant issues with data management systems or data quality.

Drill hole Information
- The Cowal Mine is located on the western side of Lake Cowal in central New South Wales, approximately 38 km north of West Wyalong and 350 km west of Sydney. Drilling documented in this report was undertaken on ML1535 This Leases are wholly owned by Evolution Mining Ltd. and CGO has all required operational, environmental and heritage permits and approvals for the work conducted on the Lease. There are not any other known significant factors or risks that may affect access, title, or the right or ability to perform further work programs on the Lease.
The Cowal region has been subject to various exploration and drilling programs by GeoPeko, North Ltd., Rio Tinto Ltd., Homestake and Barrick.
The Cowal gold deposits (E41, E42, E46, Galway and Regal) occur within the 40 km long by 15 km wide Ordovician Lake Cowal Volcanic Complex, east of the Gilmore Fault Zone within the eastern portion of the Lachlan Fold Belt. The gold deposits at Cowal are structurally hosted, epithermal to mesothermal gold deposits occurring within and marginal to a 230 m thick dioritic to gabbroic sill intruding trachyandesitic volcaniclastic rocks and lavas. The overall structure of the gold deposits is complex but in general consists of a faulted antiform that plunges shallowly to the north-northeast. The deposits are aligned along a north-south orientated corridor with bounding faults, the Booberoi Fault on the western side and the Reflector Fault on the eastern side (the Gold Corridor). See Drill Hole Information Summary table provided in previous slides
Data aggregation methods
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
Significant intercepts have been calculated based on a minimum down hole interval of 1 m @ >1.00 g/t Au above a 0.5 g/t cut-off with allowance for intervals of up to 2 m of internal dilution.
- Drilling has been oriented to intercept perpendicular to mineralisation and as such results reported as nominally true widths
Diagrams Diagrams are provided in the body of the document.
Balanced reporting Significant intercepts reported are a sub-set of the entire data. Only those areas where significant mineralisation was previously unknown, poorly defined or of low confidence have been selected for this report. Results in this report are from a single parent hole (E42D1710) and 3 subsequent daughter holes (E42D1710A, E42D1710B, E42D1710C. The remaining daughter holes are awaiting assay results at the time of reporting. Drilling of other holes in this program are in progress at the time of reporting Other substantive exploration data No other substantive data was collected during the report period. Further work
This drilling is currently in progress and further work will be determined following review of the completed program.
