FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited ("Evolution" 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.

FY23 AND FY24 PLAN DELIVERY

PRODUCTION GUIDANCE AND OUTLOOK

Production lifting to 200koz as Upper Campbell ore accessed

Higher grade areas driving increased production

AISC decreasing with ongoing focus on mining and processing cost reductions

  1. Average grade contingency of 5-10% across FY23 and FY24 to reflect conservatism as moving into areas not yet mined under the new models developed in 2020

IMPROVED OREBODY KNOWLEDGE

Lower cost operating model

Lower cut-off grades

Higher tonnage mining, higher productivity and efficiency

The right team, mining the right areas efficiently, optimising the mills

Mineral Resource cut-off grade: 6.9g/t 3.3g/t Ore Reserve cut-off grade: 7.5g/t 4.4g/t

Improved geological continuity between highgrade domains

Models reconciling well

11.7Moz Mineral Resource increased from 7Moz at acquisition 2.9Moz Ore Reserve increased from 2.1Moz at acquisition

Resource models consolidated from 143 to 19 – mining areas to date from 6 models which are reconciling well

Upper Campbell Resource Model at 3g/t gold cut-off

RESOURCE MODELS RECONCILING WELL

+1% +6% Mining performance Resource reconciliation 3

Tonnes Reconciliation (kt) - July & August 20222

  1. Data shown includes July and August 2022 combined

  2. Grade Control model reflects a subset of the Ore Reserve model for the short-term mine plan

CONSOLIDATION OF MINING FRONTS

Consolidated to fewer, larger, focused mining fronts

Improved utilisation of resources – reduced handling of material and removed redundancy of personnel, fleet and services

Rationalised infrastructure with Campbell shaft decommissioned and #1 shaft decommissioning in progress

Streamlined paste fill delivery and dewatering

MOVING INTO HIGHER GRADE ORE SOURCES

Area Ore Reserve ~% Ore Mined
Gold Grade1 FY22A FY23 Guidance FY24 Outlook

Red Lake Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria Commentary
Sampling techniques
Sampling
of
gold
mineralisation
at
Red
Lake
was
undertaken
using
diamond
core
(surface
and
underground)
and
sonic
core
(surface).

All
drill
samples
were
logged
prior
to
sampling.
Diamond
and
Sonic
drill
core
were
sampled
to
overburden,
lithological,
alteration
and
mineralisation
related
contacts.
Sampling
was
carried
out
according
to
Red
Lake
protocols
and
QAQC
procedures
which
comply
with
industry
best
practice.
All
drill-hole
collars
were
surveyed
using
a
total
station
theodolite
or
total
GPS.

The
sampling
and
assaying
methods
for
diamond
drilling
are
appropriate
for
the
orogenic
mineralised
system
and
are
representative
for
the
mineralisation
style.
The
sampling
and
assaying
suitability
was
validated
using
Red
Lake
QAQC
protocol
and
no
instruments
or
tools
requiring
calibration
were
used
as
part
of
the
sampling
process.

Diamond
drill
core
sample
intervals
were
based
on
geology
to
ensure
a
representative
sample,
with
lengths
ranging
from
0.3m
to
1m.
Diamond
drilling
was
half
core
sampled.
All
diamond
core
samples
were
dried,
crushed
and
pulverised
(total
preparation)
to
produce
a
50g
charge
for
fire
assay
of
Au.
A
suite
of
multi
elements
are
determined
using
four-acid
digest
with
ICP/MS
and/or
an
ICP/AES
finish
for
some
sample
intervals.

The
sampling
and
assay
methods
for
till
samples
collected
from
Sonic
drill
core
were
designed
specifically
to
collect
a
heavy
media
concentrate
to
allow
analysis
of
heavy
minerals
within
the
concentrate
including
visible
gold
grains.
This
method
is
semi-quantitative
and
for
exploration/reconnaissance
purposes
only.
Gold
grain
counts
do
not
represent
total
gold
in
the
sample
and
are
not
suitable
for
use
in
resource
estimation.

Till
horizon
intervals
from
Sonic
drill
core
were
identified
by
geologists
and
verified
through
logging
as
sitting
atop
underlying
bedrock
(basal
till)
and
then
whole
core
sampled
on
site.
Sample
lengths
were
typically
1.5m,
with
no
samples
less
than
0.5m
to
ensure
enough
sample
mass
for
representative
analysis.
If
there
was
non-till
glacial
material
encountered
(eg
muds)
within
the
broader
till
horizon
this
was
omitted
from
the
sample.
Where
no
till
was
encountered
in
the
entire
hole,
no
overburden
material
was
sampled
for
heavy
media
analysis.
Bedrock
portions
of
Sonic
drill
holes
were
half
core
sampled
and
treated
the
same
as
diamond
drill
core.
Drilling techniques
Diamond
drilling
on
site
is
conducted
using
diamond
drill
rigs,
the
core
is
extracted
using
a
standard
tube
and
core
diameter
is
NQ2
(50.6mm)
in
size.

All
exploration
diamond
drill
core
is
orientated
using
the
Tru-Core
device.

Sonic
drill
core
diameter
is
PQ
in
size
(85mm),
drilled
using
a
LS
250
tracked
mini-sonic
rig.
Sonic
drill
core
is
not
orientated.
Drill sample recovery
Percentage
of
drill
core
recovery
is
not
recorded
at
this
time
on
site.
All
core
is
orientated
and
marked
up
at
1-metre
intervals,
intervals
are
compared
to
drillers
depth.

Sonic
drill
core
was
placed
into
PVC
plastic
sleeves
once
retrieved
from
the
core
retriever
to
ensure
maximum
recovery
of
the
entire
drill
hole.
Logging
All logging is both qualitative and quantitative in nature recording features such as overburden type, structural data, lithology, mineralogy, alteration, mineralisation types, vein density, colour etc.
All holes are photographed wet.

All drill holes were logged entirely from collar to end of hole.

All drill core once logged is digitally photographed. The photographs capture all data presented on the core.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation

Diamond core drilled and Sonic bedrock samples were half core sampled with the remaining half core retained.

Core is cut to preserve the bottom of hole orientation line. In some instance core may be quarter cut and send for analysis.

Sample preparation of diamond samples was undertaken by external laboratories according to the sample preparation and assaying protocol established to maximise the representation of Red
Lake mineralisation. Laboratories performance was monitored as part of Red Lake's QAQC procedure. Laboratory inspections were undertaken to monitor the laboratories compliance to the Red Lake
sampling and sample preparation protocol.

The sample and size (1.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size (>90% passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly utilised practice for effective sample representation for gold deposits
within the Orogenic Gold deposits of the Superior Craton Canada.

Quality control procedures adopted to maximise sample representation for all sub-sampling stages include the collection of field
and laboratory duplicates and the insertion of certified reference
material as assay standards (1 in 20) and the insertion of blank samples (1 in 20) or at the geologist's discretion. Coarse blank material is routinely submitted for assay and is inserted into each
mineralised zone where possible and always after a sample identified as having visible gold. The quality control performance was
monitored as part of Red Lake QAQC procedure.

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation

The
sample
preparation
has
been
conducted
by
commercial
laboratories.
All
samples
are
oven
dried
(60°C),
jaw
crushed
to
90%
passing
<2mm
and
riffle
split
to
a
maximum
sample
weight
of
1kg
as
required.
The
primary
sample
is
then
pulverised
in
a
one
stage
process,
using
a
LM2
pulveriser,
to
a
particle
size
of
>90%
passing
75um.
Approximately
250g
of
the
primary
sample
is
extracted
by
spatula
to
a
numbered
paper
pulp
bag
that
is
used
for
a
50g
fire
assay
charge.
The
pulp
is
retained,
and
the
bulk
residue
is
disposed
of
after
four
months.

Measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representation
include
the
collection
of
field
duplicates
during
diamond
core
sampling
drilling
at
the
geologist's
discretion
and
within
the
ore
zone.
Duplicate
samples
for
diamond
core
are
collected
during
the
sample
preparation
crushing
and
pulverisation
stage.
A
comparison
of
the
duplicate
sample
vs.
the
primary
sample
assay
result
was
undertaken
as
part
of
Red
Lake's
QAQC
protocol.
It
is
considered
that
all
sub-sampling
and
lab
preparations
are
consistent
with
other
laboratories
in
Canada
and
are
satisfactory
for
the
intended
purpose.

The
sample
sizes
are
considered
appropriate
and
in
line
with
industry
standards.

Bedrock
portions
of
Sonic
drill
core
were
treated
the
same
as
diamond
drill
core
above.

For
till
sample
portions
from
Sonic
Drill
core,
sample
preparation
was
undertaken
by
Overburden
Drilling
Management
Ltd.
at
their
laboratory
in
Ottawa,
Canada.
Overburden
Drill
Management
personnel
are
qualified
and
experienced
to
recover
gold
grains
from
till
samples
and
have
worked
internationally
for
federal,
provincial,
private,
publicly
listed
and
state
agencies
to
conduct
the
same
work
in
similar
geological
terrains.

Initially
a
300g
split
from
the
till
sample
is
taken
to
retain
an
archive
of
the
original
sample.
The
reminder
of
the
sample
is
then
wet
screened
at
2mm
and
a
preliminary
heavy
media
concentrate
is
produced
through
tabling
of
the
-2mm
fraction
only.
Geological
observations
on
the
character
of
the
sample
are
made
during
both
the
screening
and
tabling
operations.
This
table
concentrate
is
typically
300-400g
and
10-25%
heavy
minerals
to
achieve
a
80
to
90%
recovery
rate
irrespective
of
grain
size
or
relative
specific
gravity.
Gold
grains
are
observed
at
this
stage
with
the
aid
of
micro-panning
and
are
counted,
measured,
and
classified
as
to
degree
of
wear
using
a
microscope.
The
total
samples
weight,
heavy
media
concentrate
weight,
gold
grain
count
and
gold
grain
classifications
are
then
reported.
In
this
report,
total
gold
grains
-2mm
are
reported.

Gold
grain
counts
from
heavy
media
concentrates
do
not
represent
total
gold
in
the
sample
and
are
not
suitable
for
use
in
resource
estimation.

The
+2mm
fraction
is
of
the
till
sample
is
stored
for
archive
purposes.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests

The
sampling
preparation
and
assaying
protocol
used
at
Red
Lake
on
diamond
drill
core
was
developed
to
ensure
the
quality
and
suitability
of
the
assaying
and
laboratory
procedures
relative
to
the
mineralisation
types.

No
geophysical
tools
or
other
remote
sensing
instruments
were
utilised
for
reporting
or
interpretation
of
gold
mineralisation.

Fire
assay
is
designed
to
measure
the
total
gold
within
a
sample.
Fire
assay
has
been
confirmed
as
a
suitable
technique
for
orogenic
type
mineralisation.
It
has
been
extensively
used
throughout
the
North
Western
Ontario
region.
Screen
fire
assay
have
also
been
used
to
validate
the
fire
assay
techniques.

Quality
control
samples
were
routinely
inserted
into
the
sampling
sequence
and
inserted
at
the
discretion
of
the
geologist
either
inside
or
around
the
expected
zones
of
mineralisation.
The
intent
of
the
procedure
for
reviewing
the
performance
of
certified
standard
reference
material
is
to
examine
for
any
erroneous
results
(a
result
outside
of
the
expected
statistically
derived
tolerance
limits)
and
to
validate
if
required;
the
acceptable
levels
of
accuracy
and
precision
for
all
stages
of
the
sampling
and
analytical
process.
Typically,
batches
which
fail
quality
control
checks
are
re-analysed.

For
till
samples
from
Sonic
drill
core,
heavy
media
separation
is
a
suitable
technique
for
determining
gold
grain
counts
within
till
horizons.
This
technique
has
been
extensively
used
for
exploration/reconnaissance
purposes
across
glaciated
terrains
of
North
America.
Gold
grain
counts
do
not
represent
total
gold
in
the
sample
and
are
not
suitable
for
use
in
resource
calculations
or
estimations.

All
grain
counts
were
conducted
by
qualified
and
experienced
personnel.
Prior
to
reporting
the
lab
manager
verified
and
certified
the
total
grain
counts
for
reporting.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

Independent
internal
or
external
verification
of
significant
intercepts
is
not
routinely
completed.
The
quality
control
/
quality
assurance
(QAQC)
process
ensures
the
intercepts
are
representative
for
the
orogenic
gold
systems.
Half
core
and
sample
pulps
are
retained
at
Red
Lake
for
two
years
if
further
verification
is
required.

The
twinning
of
holes
is
not
a
common
practice
undertaken
at
Red
Lake.
The
face
sample
and
drill
hole
data
with
the
mill
reconciliation
data
is
of
sufficient
density
to
validate
neighbouring
samples.
Data
which
is
inconsistent
with
the
known
geology
undergoes
further
verification
to
ensure
its
quality.

All
sample,
assay
and
grain
count
information
is
stored
utilising
the
acQuire
database
software
system.
Data
undergoes
QAQC
validation
prior
to
being
accepted
and
loaded
into
the
database.
Assay
results
are
merged
when
received
electronically
from
the
laboratory.
The
geologist
reviews
the
database
checking
for
the
correct
merging
of
results
and
that
all
data
has
been
received
and
entered.
Any
adjustments
to
this
data
are
recorded
permanently
in
the
database.
Historical
paper
records
(where
available)
and/or
digital
assay
certificates
are
retained
on

or
contract
surveyors
(utilising
a

with
a
precision
of
less
than
0.2m

have
been
surveyed
for
easting,

was
generated
from
aerial

and
detailed
Lidar

Data spacing and
distribution

Diamond
drill
data
spacing
at
A-FW
is
nominally
20m
by
20m
by
20m
or
closer
and
distribution
is
considered
sufficient
for
establishing
geological
continuity
and
grade
variability
appropriate
for
classifying
a
Mineral
Resource.

Sample
compositing
was
not
applied
due
to
the
often-narrow
mineralised
zones.

Sonic
drill
data
spacing
was
on
a
300m
x
100m
grid.
This
data
spacing,
and
the
techniques
used,
are
not
appropriate
for
establishing
geological
continuity
or
classifying
a
Mineral
Resource.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological
structure

Mineralised
zones
in
the
Red
Lake-Campbell
deposit
are
distinguished
first
by
spatial
orientation
relative
to
structural
corridors
and
second
by
the
style
of
mineralisation.
It
is
common
for
mineralised
zones
to
have
multiple
styles
of
mineralisation
within
the
same
host
lithology.

In bedrock there are four types of mineralisation in Red Lake-Campbell Deposit: 1) Vein Style Gold Mineralisation, 2) Vein and Sulphide Style Gold Mineralisation, 3) Disseminated Sulphide Style
Mineralisation locally referred to as replacement mineralisation 4) Free Gold mineralisation Style

The
relationship
between
the
drilling
orientation
and
the
orientation
of
key
mineralised
structures
at
Red
Lake
is
not
considered
to
have
introduced
a
sampling
bias
and
is
not
considered
to
be
material.

Resource
Definition
and
Exploration
diamond
drilling
is
typically
planned
to
intersect
mineralised
domains
in
an
orientation
that
does
not
introduce
sample
bias.
A
small
number
of
holes
are
drilled
at
sub-optimal
orientations
to
test
for
alternate
geological
interpretations.

Sonic
drill
holes
are
drilled
vertically,
perpendicular
to

Sample security
Chain
of

to
ensure
the

are
followed.
Prior
to
submission
samples
are

Geology
The
mineralisation
at
Red
Lake
can
be
classified
as
an
Archean
greenstone
belt-hosted
gold
deposit.

Red
Lake
is
hosted
in
the
Red
Lake
greenstone
belt
within
the
Uchi
Domain
on
the
southern
margin
of
the
North
Caribou
Terrane
of
the
Superior
Province,
Canada.

Red
Lake
is
underlain
mainly
by
tholeiitic
basalt
and
locally
by
komatiitic
basalt
of
the
Balmer
Assemblage.
The
mine
sequence
also
includes
felsic,
peridotitic
and
other
mafic
to
lamprophyric
intrusive
rocks
of
various
younger
ages.
Both
Red
Lake-
Campbell
and
Cochenour
deposits
are
hosted
within
significantly
folded
and
sheared
portions
of
the
Balmer
assemblage.
Shear
zones
act
as
primary
hydrothermal
fluid
corridors
and
host
significant
portions
of
the
gold
mineralisation
in
the
area.
Other
significant
mineralised
structures
occur
within
lower-strain
areas
of
the
stratigraphy,
usually
associated
with
brittle
conjugate
fracture
systems
in
close
proximity
to
lithological
boundaries
possessing
high
competency
contrasts.

Gold
mineralisation
is
hosted
in
a
variety
of
rock
types
within
the
Red
Lake
Greenstone
belt,
although
the
majority
of
the
productive
zones
occur
as
vein
systems
accompanying
sulphide
replacement
within
sheared
mafic
to
komatiitic
basalts
of
the
Balmer
Assemblage.

Gold
bearing
zones
in
the
Red
Lake-Campbell
and
Cochenour
deposit
are
distinguished
first
by
spatial
orientation
relative
to
structural
corridors
and
second
by
the
style
of
mineralisation.
It
is
common
for
zones
to
have
multiple
styles
of
mineralisation
within
the
same
host
lithology.
There
are
four
styles
of
mineralisation
common
in
the
Red
Lake-Campbell
and
Cochenour
deposit;
Vein
style,
Vein
and
Sulphide
style,
Disseminated
Sulphide
(Replacement)
style
and
free
gold
style.

At
the
Bateman
project
gold
is
characterised
by
two
distinct
mineralisation
styles;
Vein
hosted
mineralisation
and
Sulphide
Replacement
mineralisation.
Mineralisation
is
generally
hosted
in
mafic
units
but
limited
mineralisation
is
also
observed
in
felsic
intrusions
and
ultramafic
rock
types.

During
the
last
glacial
maximum
(~20,000
years
ago)
the
Red
Lake
area
was
covered
by
glaciers.
As
a
result,
much
of
the
districts
surface
geology
is
characterised
by
sediment
produced
through
glacial
activity.
Generally,
these
sediments
consist
of
lacustrine
muds/silts
underlain
by
till.
Till
is
polymictic,
unconsolidated
and
poorly
sorted
sediment
deposited
at
the
base
of
glaciers.
Till
is
mechanically
transported
by
the
glacier
down
the
direction
of
ice
flow
and
commonly
found
at
the
interface
of
the
glacier
and
underlying
bedrock.
Till
is
sampled
to
represent
sources
of
sediment
(such
as
bedrock)
up
ice
from
the
sample
location.
