Bankable Feasibility Study Completed

  • Resource Base of 30.4 Mt $@$ 1.4 g/t for 1,360,000 ozs to 300 m depth
  • ♦ Open pit designed on Indicated resources only, and for AUD 575/oz
  • Reserve of 15.7 Mt @ 1.37 g/t for contained 690,000 ozs

Feasibility

  • ♦ Additional 60,000 ozs in Inferred resources in that pit, and 40,000 ozs estimated in old oxide stockpiles
  • Mine life 8 years
  • $\blacklozenge$ Hard rock milling rate 2.2 Mtpa

◆ Annual average gold production 100,000 ozs

Recoverable gold, ± 720,000 ozs

Financial Data - Feasibility

  • ♦ CAPEX and Contingency
  • Pre-production mining and working capital
  • Operating Cost
  • Average expected gold price (60% hedged from \$570 spot base)

Bigger and Better Pits

Pit Upsides

Aim for:

♦ Conversion of Inferred Resources to Reserves

♦ Infill of undrilled zones

  • More valuable initial pit $\bullet$
    • Larger pit more revenue

Going Underground

Underground Production

Key to:

Greater Project Value

Greater Project Longevity

Hypothetical Underground Scenario

  • Assume Underground
  • ♦ Commenced late 3rd year
  • $\Diamond$ 350,000 t/yr @ 7.0 g/t for 12 years
  • $\lozenge$ 70,000 ozs/yr
  • Then Total Production
  • ♦ Pit = 720,000 oz
  • $\lozenge$ Underground = 875,000 oz
  • $\sqrt{10}$ Total = 1,595,000 oz
