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.

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Targets

Of Evolution's Group Production Outlook, 4% 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.

The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the Production Target and Forecast Financial information derived in the initial report continue to apply and have not materially changed.

For information on Production Targets, refer to the initial ASX release entitled "Cowal Underground Board Approval, Red Lake Growth Update and Group Three-year Outlook" released to the ASX on 16 July 2021 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au.

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Targets

Of Evolution's Group Production Outlook, 4% 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.

The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the Production Target and Forecast Financial information derived in the initial report continue to apply and have not materially changed.

For information on Production Targets, refer to the initial ASX release entitled "Cowal Underground Board Approval, Red Lake Growth Update and Group Three-year Outlook" released to the ASX on 16 July 2021 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au.

PRODUCTION AND COST OUTLOOK

  • Cornerstone assets driving production to >900koz by FY24
  • Cowal trends up to 350koz by FY24 from Stage H & Underground
  • Red Lake achieves >200koz in FY23 and >250koz in FY24
  • Discipline applied at Mungari by removing high-cost Boomer ounces
  • Mt Rawdon production lower due to change to wall angles
  • Mt Carlton benefits from Crush Creek in FY24
  • Copper production of 18 20ktpa
  • Maintaining low cost (AISC) position
  • Labour costs remain at ~53% of cost base
    • Expected to move at 3 4% each year
  • Production mix drives AISC for FY22 mainly Mungari
  • Cowal and Red Lake main drivers to lower costs in FY23
  • Increase in FY24 is driven predominantly by higher mine development (operating and capital) at Red Lake to match with increased processing capacity

5The Mineral Resource for the Mt Carlton A39 underground deposit has been estimated using a AuEq (g/t) cut-off of 4.4g/t to enable quotation of this silver rich deposit as equivalent gold ounces.

The gold equivalent (AuEq) calculation accounts for silver recoveries determined from metallurgical test work and uses an assumed silver price of A\$26/oz and gold price of A\$2,000/oz as per the below equation.

AuEq=26/2,000*0.8203*silver grade (Silver price/Gold price*silver recovery*silver grade). It is the Competent Persons opinion that the assigned cut-off criteria satisfies the JORC Code requirement that the reported Mineral Resource meets reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction and that the silver present within the A39 deposit can be economically recovered.

Full details of the Evolution Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are provided in the report entitled "Annual Mineral Resources an Ore Reserves Statement" released to the ASX on 17 February 2021 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au Full details of the Ernest Henry Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are provided in the report entitled "Glencore Resources and Reserves as at 31 December 2020" released 3 February 2021 and available to view at www.glencore.com.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Reports and that all material assumptions and parameters underpinning the estimates in the Reports continue to apply and have not materially changed except for the Cowal Underground. This revised information is provided in ASX release entitled 'Cowal Underground Board Approval, Red Lake Growth Update and Group Three-year Outlook' released on 16 July 2021 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com. The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons' findings are presented have not been materially modified from the Reports. Evolution Mining has an economic interest earning rights to 100% of the revenue from future gold production and 30% of future copper and silver produced from an agreed area, and 49% of future gold, copper and silver produced from the Ernest Henry Resource outside the agreed area. The Ernest Henry Resource is reported here on the basis of economic interest and not the entire mine resource. The above reported figures constitute 77% of the total Ernest Henry gold resource.

5The Ore Reserve for the Mt Carlton A39 underground deposit has been estimated using a AuEq (g/t) cutoff of 6.1g/t to enable quotation of this silver rich deposit as equivalent gold ounces.

The gold equivalent (AuEq) calculation accounts for silver recoveries determined from metallurgical test work and uses an assumed silver price of A\$20/oz and gold price of A\$1,450/oz as per the below equation.

AuEq = 20/1,450*0.8203*silver grade (Silver price/Gold price*silver recovery*silver grade). It is the Competent Persons opinion that the assigned cut-off criteria meets the minimum acceptable criteria to support economic extraction and that the silver present within the A39 deposit can be economically recovered.
