UPDATED THREE YEAR OUTLOOK AND INVESTOR PRESENTATION

Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN) is today releasing an Investor Presentation ahead of upcoming marketing in Sydney, London, New York and Denver. Within the Investor Presentation is the following “Three Year Outlook” which has been updated post the divestment of Pajingo and assuming the completion of the Ernest Henry transaction.

Evolution expects to achieve incremental production growth for at least the next three years[1] . All-in sustaining costs (AISC)[2] are expected to trend lower over this period.

Of Evolution’s production outlook, 2% is comprised of an exploration target. 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.

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.

  • All US dollar values in this presentation are calculated using an AUD:USD exchange rate of $0.75 unless otherwise stated.

Material Assumptions

The material assumptions on which the production targets are based are presented in ASX releases “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement” released to the ASX on 21 April 2016 and “Acquisition of Economic Interest in Ernest Henry and AREO” released to the ASX on 24 August 2016. Both releases are available to view at www.asx.com.au. The material assumptions upon which on which the forecast financial information is based are:

Silver A$20/oz

Copper[3] A$6,000/t (A$2.72/lb)

Diesel A$90/bbl. (Gasoil 10ppm FOB Singapore)

Competent Persons Statement

The estimated Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves underpinning the production target have been prepared by Competent Persons in accordance with the requirements in Appendix 5A (JORC Code). The Company confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Persons findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Inferred Mineral Resources

There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Target

The Company believes there are reasonable grounds for reporting a proportion of the production target as an exploration target (Cracow) as historically unclassified material at Cracow has been converted and mined and is not formally reported in the annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves

The potential quantity and grade of an 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 the production target itself will be realised

Relevant proportions of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves underpinning the production target

The production target comprises 86% Probable Ore Reserves, 12% Inferred Mineral Resources and 2% Exploration Targets

  • (1) Assumed completion of Ernest Henry transaction on 1 November 2016

  • (2) Bottom end of major projects guidance range excludes gated capital

  • (3) Ernest Henry copper price assumption consistent with Group assumption of A$6,000/t (A$2.72/lb)
