Acquisition of Ernest Henry Investor Presentation 17 November 2021
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. 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.

- Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve estimation criteria have been prepared using a gold price assumption of A\$2,250/oz to estimate Mineral Resources and A\$1,750/oz to estimate Ore Reserves. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves. Ounces are estimates of metal contained in the Ore Reserve and do not include allowances for processing losses. The Kundana and EKJV assets Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are expected to be re-estimated as at 31 December 2021 as part of Evolution's Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement which will be released in February 2022. 2. EKJV deposits are 51% interest, except Raleigh and Falcon North which are 50%

Kundana Assets Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are extracted from Evolution's ASX announcement titled "Acquisition to elevate Mungari to a cornerstone asset and A\$400 million equity raising" dated 22 July 2021 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the 22 July 2021 announcement and that all material assumptions and parameters underpinning the estimates in the Report continue to apply and have not materially changed.
