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

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
