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.

PRODUCTION TARGET & FORECAST FINANCIALS
Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Targets1
Of Evolution's Production Outlook, 1.8% is comprised of Exploration Targets. The potential quantity and grade of this 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 production target itself will be realised.
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. The stated production target is based on the Company's current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.
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 12 February 2020 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au.
The material assumptions upon which the forecast financial information is based are:
| Gold | A\$1,450/oz | Silver | A\$20/oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | A\$6,000/t | Diesel | A\$80/bbl |
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).
Relevant proportions of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves underpinning the Production Target
The Production Target comprises 20.8% Proved Ore Reserves, 61.4% Probable Ore Reserves, 1.7% Indicated Mineral Resources, 14.2% Inferred Mineral Resources and 1.8% Exploration Targets.
