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.

  • All US dollar values in this presentation are calculated using the March 2016 quarter average AUD:USD exchange rate of $0.7215 unless otherwise stated.

Accessing additional ounces (Pajingo)

Our team identified an opportunity to explore new ways to safely and economically access the potential ounces in an area previously thought to be uneconomic, generating revenue of ~A$1 million by mining an additional +950 ounces that were not in the original mine plan

Cheaper and longer life pastefill paddles (Mungari)

Our operators in the Frog’s Leg underground pastefill team halved the cost of the paddles required for mixing the paste by identifying and trialling a cast alternative which also delivered four times longer life Benefit: Annualised saving of A$250,000

Cheaper and more effective cyclone feed pumps (Cracow)

Our Engineering and Maintenance team member identified an alternative cyclone feed pump (Weir Warman 150EE-MCR) and negotiated a trial to test the pump for $1 – with the balance due only if the pump exceed the run time and performance of the current pump – which it did. Benefit: Cost savings of up to A$200,000 on purchase, A$69,000 in reduced cost of stock holding and reduced labour hours for rebuilds up to 96 hours per year and less power (Kw) for the same performance duty

Reducing stoppage time by re-engineering broken bolts (Mt Rawdon)

Our Maintenance Supervisor, reduced stoppage time in the processing plant by up to 20 hours (equivalent to ~A$300,000) by using an innovative way to fix broken bolts on a critical piece of equipment
