OVERVIEW

Group gold production for the September 2017 quarter was a record 220,971 ounces (Jun qtr: 218,079oz). AISC declined to a record low of A$786/oz (Jun qtr: A$825/oz). Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7894, Group AISC equated to US$620/oz – ranking Evolution as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world.

In the September 2017 quarter Evolution delivered record operating mine cash flow of A$210.4 million, up almost 5% despite a 2.8% decrease in the achieved gold price (Jun qtr: A$200.4M). Record net mine cash flow, post all capital, was A$158.3 million (Jun qtr: A$137.1M).

In anticipation of the cash settlement component for the Edna May sale, in addition to the continued strong group cash flow, Evolution elected to make an early debt repayment of A$40.0 million during the quarter. This was directed to the remaining balance in the Senior Secured Term Facility B. As at 30 September 2017, gross debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility D was A$395.0 million. Net debt was reduced to A$342.0 million. The Group cash balance increased to A$50.1 million (30 Jun 2017: A$37.4M).

Standout operational performances for the quarter:

  • Cowal: 70,140oz at an AISC of A$712/oz generating net mine cash flow of A$53.2M

  • Ernest Henry: 23,682oz at a record low AISC of A$(614)/oz producing net mine cash flow of A$52.4M

  • Mt Carlton: 29,994oz at a record low AISC of A$429/oz producing net mine cash flow of A$23.8M

Drilling at Cowal E41 West intersected a new and significant zone of mineralisation outside of the existing Mineral Resource, to the south and at depth. Best intersection: 139m grading 1.17g/t from 269m (E41D2802).

At Mungari, drilling at the Lady Agnes target tested the strike extent of a 200m long mineralised zone and returned a number of high-grade intersections. Successful follow-up drilling at regional resource targets intersected further high-grade mineralisation in the footwall lode at Burgundy, confirming continuity of mineralisation up-dip. Resource definition drilling beneath the White Foil pit extended the quartz gabbro host to the north and returned multiple significant intersections.

Resource definition drilling at Cracow confirmed and extended high-grade mineralisation at Killarney and Imperial which is likely to support resource additions in these areas.

Contracts were awarded during the quarter for the Cowal Float Tails (Dual) Leach Project which is expected to increase recoveries by 4 – 6%. The Cowal Stage H project is progressing on schedule and on budget.

The sale of the Edna May gold mine to Ramelius Resources Limited (ASX: RMS) was successfully completed on 3 October 2017. Evolution has received the A$40.0 million in upfront cash payment from Ramelius. The sale agreement also includes up to A$50 million of contingent payments. The structure is described in the ASX announcement released on 18 September 2017 titled Agreement to Divest Edna May Gold Mine.

Evolution invested A$2.5 million for a 15.1% cornerstone shareholding in Riversgold Limited (ASX: RGL) which listed on the ASX on 10 October 2017. Riversgold is a gold-focused exploration company led by Doray Minerals founder Allan Kelly and former Sirius Resources Executive Director Jeff Foster. Initial projects in the portfolio include properties located in Western Australia, South Australia, Alaska and Cambodia.

During the quarter the Board approved a change to Evolution’s dividend policy to, whenever possible, paying a half-yearly dividend equivalent to 50% of the Group’s after-tax earnings. On 29 September 2017 Evolution paid a fully franked dividend of 3 cents per share totalling A$50.7 million.

Ms Andrea Hall was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and a member of the Audit Committee effective 1 October 2017. With a strong background in financial services and extensive experience on a diverse range of boards Ms Hall will make a valuable contribution to Evolution’s Board.

OVERVIEW

FY18 Guidance

Following the sale of Edna May, Evolution revised its FY18 gold production guidance to 750,000 – 805,000 ounces at an AISC of A$820 – A$870 per ounce. Costs in the September quarter were below the full year guidance due to better than expected grades at Cowal and Mt Carlton, a higher than forecast copper price which significantly lowered Ernest Henry’s costs, and lower capital expenditure at Cowal which, as originally planned, will increase in the remaining quarters as project activities fully ramp up.

As a result of the sale of Edna May, December 2017 quarter production is expected to be 180,000 – 190,000 ounces of gold. However, total operating mine cashflow is expected to remain similar to the September quarter provided commodity prices remain at current levels.

OPERATIONS

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal had an outstanding quarter producing 70,140oz of gold at an AISC of A$712/oz (Jun qtr: 62,382oz, AISC A$762/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$67.4 million. Net mine cash flow of A$53.2 million was achieved (Jun qtr: A$29.9 million), post sustaining capital of A$6.8 million and major capital of A$7.4 million associated with the Stage H and Float Tails projects. Total capital expenditure is planned to ramp up in the coming quarters and remains on plan to FY18 guidance of A$52.5 – A$57.5M in sustaining capital and A$85.0 – A$100.0M in major project capital.

Ore mining activities focussed on the E42 Stage G cutback to the current operating level of 876mRL.

The Stage H project is progressing on schedule and on budget. Focus for the quarter was on procurement of equipment and relocation of infrastructure. Mining excavation was concentrated on relocation of stockpiles and waste dumps located within the perimeter of Stage H. Most of this work was completed in the quarter. In the December 2017 quarter focus will shift to excavation of the Stage H pit cutback itself.

Contracts were awarded for the project management and construction of the Float Tails Leach project. Engineering design work has commenced and major construction works are expected to start in the March 2018 quarter. The project is progressing on schedule and is expected to increase recoveries by 4 – 6%.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 30,353oz of gold at an AISC of A$1,059/oz (June 2017 qtr: 29,965oz, AISC A$1,313/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$21.9 million. Net mine cash flow of A$8.9 million was achieved (Jun qtr: A$5.1 million), post sustaining capital of A$2.2 million and major capital of A$10.8 million, which was predominantly related to the waste cutback of the White Foil open pit.

The Frog’s Leg underground mine produced 135kt ore tonnes at a grade of 4.5g/t gold. As planned, total development was reduced after scaling back to one jumbo for development and rehab operations in FY18. Ore production was in line with plan and reconciled well against the geological model.

White Foil completed mining Stage 2b, then transitioned into the Stage 3 cutback. Material movement increased to 2.7Mt.

The process plant performed very well for the quarter. A continued focus on costs had a positive impact on the operation which saw the low unit costs of the June 2017 half-year maintained. The additional Knelson concentrator was successfully commissioned allowing for increased gold recovery by the gravity circuit. The particle size analyser also transitioned to automatic sampling which will allow for improved trending and optimisation throughout the plant. A full mill reline is scheduled in the December 2017 quarter.

During the quarter, Cowal hosted the Evolution Mines Rescue challenge and the NSW Mines Rescue challenge. These were successfully staged in the local community of West Wyalong and were an opportunity to showcase the skill set of each of our site teams.

OPERATIONS

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Mt Carlton had another exceptional quarter producing 29,994oz of payable gold contained in 16,100 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of gold concentrate and 4,015oz in gold doré (Jun qtr: 28,270oz in 15,128 dmt and 3,000oz gold doré). Record low costs were achieved with an AISC of A$429/oz (Jun qtr: A$616/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$30.9 million and net mine cash flow was A$23.8 million (Jun qtr: A$29.9 million), post sustaining and major capital of A$7.1 million.

A total of 205,229 tonnes of V2 ore grading 5.87 g/t gold was treated. Processing plant recoveries continue to improve achieving 91.2% (FY17: 90.1%). Ongoing optimisation work is expected to further increase recoveries. Western zone highgrade ore through the plant continues to see strong positive reconciliation.

Mining of the Stage 3a western end of the V2 open pit focussed on accessing high-grade ore to blend with low to medium grade Run of Mine (ROM) stocks. Mining of the eastern end Stage 3b pre-strip continued on schedule.

The gravity circuit produced 4,015oz of gold doré (Jun qtr: 3,000oz). This circuit will continue to improve in the December 2017 quarter as ongoing optimisation is expected to result in increased operational availability. In addition, studies are continuing to identify options to reduce the impact of clay/oxidised ore in the flotation circuit that could lead to increased plant throughput.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 21,766oz of gold in the September quarter at an AISC of A$1,083/oz (Jun qtr: 25,808oz, AISC A$922/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$12.7 million. Mt Rawdon delivered net mine cash flow of A$7.5 million (Jun qtr: A$9.3 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$5.2 million.

Mining activities were focussed on the progression of Stage 4. Ore was sourced from the western and northern section of the open pit with waste movement activities concentrated in the southern and western sections of the pit.

Total ore mined was 1,037kt at an average grade of 0.86g/t gold. The plant processed 795kt at an average head grade of 0.98g/t gold.

Drilling activities testing targets immediately to the west and north of the pit are currently being undertaken with the aim of converting inferred resources that contain higher grade mineralisation.

In the December 2017 quarter mining activities will continue to focus on waste movement from the southern and western sections of Stage 4 exposing ore from these benches in subsequent quarters.

The Underground/Stage 4 pit Definitive Feasibility Study continued during the quarter. The current resource definition drilling program is expected to be completed in the December 2017 quarter.

FINANCIALS

Evolution generated back-to-back record operating and net mine cash flow of A$210.4 million and A$158.3 million respectively in the September quarter. All sites were again cash flow positive after meeting all their operating and capital expenditure needs.

A total of A$50.7 million for the FY17 final fully franked dividend was paid during the quarter.

Evolution sold 221,158oz of gold at an average achieved gold price of A$1,604/oz (Jun qtr: 219,253oz at A$1,650/oz). Deliveries into the hedge book totalled 47,997oz at an average price of A$1,547/oz with the remaining 173,161oz of gold delivered on spot markets at an average price of A$1,620/oz.

Evolution generated record operating mine cash flow of A$210.4 million which was A$10.0 million, or almost 5%, higher than the prior quarter of A$200.4 million despite a 2.8% decrease in achieved gold price.

Record net mine cash flow of A$158.3 million was A$21.2 million, or 15.5%, higher than the June 2017 quarter. A total of A$52.0 million of capital was invested in the September quarter, split between A$19.2 million in sustaining capital and $32.8 million in major project capital.

Cowal’s net mine cash flow of A$53.2 million was considerably higher than the June 2017 quarter, due mainly to higher production and lower operating costs as well as planned lower capital expenditure. Ernest Henry (A$52.4 million) continued its strong run since the Company’s investment in the asset last year, with net mine cash flow increasing for the third straight quarter, whilst Mt Carlton (A$23.8 million) continued to be a strong contributor.

Exploration highlights

Cowal

  • At E41 West a new and significant zone of mineralisation over 250m in length was intersected outside of the existing Mineral Resource, to the south and at depth. Follow-up work is underway to understand the relationship of this new zone to the E41 West resource and to explore the full scope of this developing opportunity

  • Drilling on the Galway-Regal corridor has returned results confirming the geologic model and extending mineralisation at depth. Geological understanding of the Galway-Regal E46 project area has advanced and will result in the reporting of a maiden Underground Mineral Resource

Mungari

  • Drilling at the under-explored Lady Agnes target tested the strike extent of a 200m long mineralised zone and returned a number of high-grade intersections

  • Resource definition drilling beneath the White Foil pit extended the quartz gabbro host to the north and returned multiple significant intersections. Results verified that the favourable gabbro host is wider than previously modelled beneath the Sovereign Fault. Drilling is continuing in the December quarter to confirm continuity of mineralisation and to expand the resource along strike and at depth.

  • Successful follow-up drilling at regional resource targets

  • Further high-grade mineralisation intersected in the footwall lode at Burgundy confirmed continuity of mineralisation up-dip

  • Infill drilling at Emu intersected high-grade mineralisation at depth and outside of the A$1,800/oz resource shell

Cracow

  • Resource definition drilling confirmed high-grade mineralisation at Killarney and extended high-grade mineralisation at Imperial – the estimation of a maiden Mineral Resource is anticipated at Imperial

Mt Carlton

  • A new mineralised structure was intersected to the west of the Link zone, along strike and below the V2 open pit Ore Reserve

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Resource definition drilling

A three-hole drilling program at E41W targeting the plunge extension and a discrete low magnetic anomaly to the south and below the current resource was completed. A new and significant zone of mineralisation was intersected in all holes at depth. Best intersections included[1] :

  • 53m grading 1.10g/t from 192m and 139m grading 1.17g/t from 269m (E41D2802)

  • 21m grading 0.93g/t from 531m and 17m grading 1.44g/t Au from 665m (E41D2800)

  • 25m grading 0.78g/t from 327m and 11m grading 1.24g/t from 368m (E41D2801)

Further work including geochemical analysis, geophysical review and a review of the geological interpretation is being undertaken to better understand the significance of these results. Additional drilling aimed at extending this new zone of mineralisation will be initiated during the December 2017 quarter.

Drilling at Galway-Regal E46 (1535DD310 and 1535DD311) testing the depth and strike extension of mineralisation returned the following significant results[1] :

  • 16.0m grading 4.35 g/t Au from 259m (1535DD311)

  • 6.0m grading 10.75g/t Au from 305m (1535DD311)

Mineralisation within the Galway-Regal E46 project area is structurally controlled with grades indicative of underground potential. A recent review of the new drilling results and previous drilling has improved the geological understanding and will result in the reporting of a maiden Underground Mineral Resource estimate.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Exploration

More than 45,000m of drilling was completed across 14 early stage exploration targets throughout the lease holding. Significant results continue to be received from the Lady Agnes prospect. Air Core (AC) drilling has been completed at the Blue Funnel South prospect with several anomalies being defined and bedrock gold intersected in the first diamond hole drilled at the prospect.

Blue Funnel South

A 17,000m AC drilling program was completed testing favourable structure and stratigraphy along an estimated 6km strike length. AC drilling results defined three anomalous gold zones. These anomalies will be followed up with bedrock drilling in the December 2017 quarter.

A diamond hole was drilled below a significant intercept returned from previous AC drilling. This hole (EVDD0007) intersected an altered and brecciated conglomerate returning a downhole interval of 16.8m grading 0.89g/t Au (from 244m)[1] . This is the first bedrock hole drilled by Evolution in this stratigraphic succession. Pathfinder geochemistry has added strong support that a new target style has been developed along the 6km long trend to date. Further work is underway to follow-up anomalous results targeting a new bedrock source for mineralisation in this area.

Lady Agnes

Two drilling programs totalling 16 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes and one diamond tail were completed at Lady Agnes to follow up favourable results reported in the June quarter 2017. Holes tested the strike extents of a 200m long mineralised zone along strike to the northwest from the historic Bent Tree open pit. The best intercepts were 4m (3.3m etw) grading 60.2g/t Au from 170m (EVRC0168) including 1m (0.8m etw) grading 222.9g/t Au from 171m; and 2m (1.7m etw) at 8.6g/t Au from 110m (EVRC0172). Assay results for eight holes are pending.

Frog’s Leg South, Innis and Smithfield

Deep diamond drilling south of Frog’s Leg deposit has demonstrated that structures hosting the ore at Frog’s Leg persist, however the favourable host stratigraphy is pinching out. A seven-hole drill program was completed at Innis and Innis South to test if the prospective host rocks redevelop along strike and at depth. Further work to follow the structure to the south will be undertaken.

Drilling at Smithfield, southeast of White Foil, has returned broad zones of intense alteration associated with what is interpreted to be the southern continuattion of the Strezleki Shear /zone which hosts the Raliegh vein further north. The target at Smithfield is a narrow high-grade vein deposit. Addional drilling is planned for the coming quarter.

Frog’s Leg

Drilling into the lower Mist lode commenced testing the depth extension of mineralisation up to 150m below the Ore Reserve limits. Logging, assaying and the geological interpretation is in progress.

White Foil

Early in the quarter, results for three drill holes designed to test an area at the northern end of the White Foil resource were received. The holes intersected significant widths and grades of mineralisation including[1] :

  • 80.2m (64.2m etw) grading 1.98g/t Au from 268.5m (WFRD027)

  • 47.5m (38m etw) grading 3.36g/t Au from 269.5m (WFRD028)

  • 7.5m (6m etw) grading 4.11g/t Au from 237m (WFRD029W1)

Drilling confirmed the presence and continuity of mineralisation down plunge, with the quartz gabbro host being considerably thicker than previously modelled and remaining open to the north. As a result, a further four drill holes were completed to confirm the northern extension of the quartz gabbro. A total of 1,395m were drilled comprising of 120m of RC pre-collars and 1,275m of diamond drilling.

Quartz gabbro with quartz veining and visible gold was intersected in all holes up to 120m north of previous drilling in the area. Best intersections received to date included:

  • 25m (15m etw) grading 3.27g/t Au from 303.7m (WFRD033)

  • 18.65m (11.1m etw) grading 1.38g/t Au from 223.7m (WFRD030)

  • 14.1m (3.4m etw) grading 2.44g/t Au from 253m (WFRD031)

  • 25m (6.25m etw) grading 2.08g/t Au from 302m (WFRD032)

Additional drilling is planned for the December 2017 quarter to extend and infill these areas for inclusion in a Mineral Resource update in the June quarter 2018. This information will feed into an updated scoping study for an underground operation at White Foil.

A total of 14,013m of infill drilling was completed at Killarney, Imperial, and Denmead. The drilling continued to confirm high-grade mineralisation at Killarney and an upgrade in resource classification to the Indicated category is expected. Drilling also extended high-grade mineralisation at Imperial which is anticipated to result in a maiden Mineral Resource estimate. A number of significant intercepts were returned and included:

  • 12.0m (9.5m etw) grading 7.8g/t Au (KLU008) Killarney (infill)

Regional exploration

Results received from the June quarter drilling at the Walhalla prospect, located 2.5km northeast of the Cracow Operation, provided further evidence the prospect represents the upper levels of a preserved mineralised epithermal system. Interpretation of the stratigraphy, vein textures, geochemistry and alteration of the structures indicates potential for gold mineralisation at depth to the southern end of the target. A drill hole to test this concept is planned to commence in the December 2017 quarter.

Results from a framework drilling program at Edna Beryl were received during the quarter with no significant assays reported. No additional work is planned at the Edna Beryl deposit in the coming quarter.

A review of the high-grade copper mineralisation along the Gecko / Goanna corridor was completed. Several high-grade, shear-hosted copper intersections define a potential strike extent of over 2km. An eight-hole RC drilling program aimed at testing the potential scale and continuity of the system will commence in early November.

South Gawler, South Australia (earning up to 80%)

A 2700 station (400m x 400m) gravity survey was completed over approx. 400km[2] in the central region of the Menninnie Metals’ South Gawler tenements. The survey was designed to delineate isolated gravity highs associated with discrete Ironstone Hosted Copper Gold (IOCG) deposits. Surface exposures of hydrothermal quartz and ironstone fragments are potentially distal expressions of an IOCG system at shallow to moderate depth. Results from the gravity survey will be integrated with surface geochemistry to define drill targets for testing in early December.

Cowal Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, handheld
XRF instruments, etc.). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the broad
meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representation and the
appropriate
calibration
of
any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would be
relatively
simple
(e.g.
‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems, or unusual
commodities/mineralisation types (e.g.
submarine nodules).
Holes in this report consist of conventional diamond core drilling.
Drill holes were positioned strategically to infill gaps in the existing drill
data set and test continuity of known lodes/mineralised structures.
Collar and down hole surveys were utilised to accurately record final
locations. Industry standard sampling, assaying and QA/QC practices
were applied to all holes.
Drill core was halved with a diamond saw in 1 m intervals, irrespective
of geological contacts. Oxide material that was too soft and friable to be
cut with a diamond saw was split with a chisel. Core was cut to preserve
the bottom of hole orientation mark and the top half of core sent for
analysis to ensure no bias is introduced. RC samples were collected
directly from a splitter at the drill rig.
Sample preparation was conducted by SGS West Wyalong and
consisted of:
Drying in the oven at 105ºC; crushing in a jaw crusher; fine crushing in
a Boyd crusher to 2-3mm; rotary splitting a 3kg assay sub-sample if the
sample is too large for the LM5 mill; pulverising in the LM5 mill to
nominal; 90% passing 75 µm; and a 50g fire assay charge was taken
with an atomic absorption (AA) finish. The detection limit was 0.01 g/t
Au.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).
Diamond drill holes were drilled HQ diameter through the clay/oxide and
NQ diameter through the primary rock to end of hole.
All core has been oriented using accepted industry techniques.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery
and
ensure
representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential
loss/gain
of
fine/coarse
material.
Provisions are made in the drilling contract to ensure that hole deviation
is minimised and core sample recovery is maximised. This is monitored
by a geologist on a hole by hole basis. Core recovery is recorded in the
database. There are no significant core loss or sample recovery issues.
Core is reoriented and marked up at 1m intervals. Measurements of
recovered core are made and reconciled to the driller’s depth blocks,
and if necessary, to the driller’s rod counts.
There is no apparent relationship between core-loss and grade.

APPENDIX 1 – JORC CODE 2012 ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING CRITERIA

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Logging Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation,
mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel etc.) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Geologists log core for lithology, alteration, structure, and veining.
Logging was done directly onto laptop computers via LogChief software
which is validated and uploaded directly into the Datashed database.
The Cowal logging system allows recording of both a primary and a
secondary lithology and alteration. Geologists also record the colour,
texture, grain size, sorting, rounding, fabric, and fabric intensity
characterising each lithological interval.
The logged structures include faults, shears, breccias, major veins,
lithological contacts, and intrusive contacts. Structures are also
recorded as point data to accommodate orientation measurements.
Structural measurements are obtained using a core orientation device.
Core is rotated into its original orientation, using the Gyro survey data
as a guide. Freiberg compasses are used for structural measurements.
Geologists log vein data including vein frequency, vein percentage of
interval, vein type, composition, sulphide percentage per metre, visible
gold, sulphide type, and comments relative to each metre logged.
Geotechnical logging is done by field technicians and geologists.
Logging is on a per metre basis and includes percentage core recovery,
percentage RQD, fracture count, and an estimate of hardness. The
geotechnical data is entered into the database.
All drill core, once logged, is digitally photographed on a core tray-by-
tray basis. The digital image captures all metre marks, the orientation
line (BOH) and geologist’s lithology, alteration, mineralogy, and other
pertinent demarcations. The geologists highlight geologically significant
features such that they can be clearly referenced in the digital images.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for instance
results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Diamond Core is cut with a diamond saw or chisel. Core is cut to
preserve the bottom of hole orientation mark and the top half of core is
always sent for analysis to ensure no bias is introduced.
In 2003 Analytical Solutions Ltd conducted a Review of Sample
Preparation, Assay and Quality Control Procedures for Cowal Gold
Project. This study, combined with respective operating company policy
and standards (North Ltd, Homestake, Barrick and Evolution) formed
the framework for the sampling, assaying and QAQC protocols used at
Cowal to ensure appropriate and representative sampling.
Results per interval are reviewed for half core samples and if
unexpected or anomalous assays are returned an additional quarter
core may be submitted for assay.
Quality of assay data

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of
the

of
SGS West Wyalong acts as the Primary Laboratory and ALS Orange
conducts independent Umpire checks. Both labs operate to international
standards and procedures and take part in the Geostatistical Round
Robin inter-laboratory test survey. The Cowal QA/QC program
comprises blanks, Certified Reference Material (CRM), inter-laboratory
duplicate checks, and grind checks.
1 in 30 fine crush residue samples has an assay duplicate. 1 in 20 pulp
residue samples has an assay duplicate.
Wet screen grind checks are performed on 1 in 20 pulp residue samples.
A blank is submitted 1 in every 38 samples, CRM’s are submitted 1 in
every 20 samples. The frequency of repeat assays is set at 1 in 30
samples.
All sample numbers, including standards and duplicates, are pre-
assigned by a QA/QC Administrator and given to the sampler on a
sample sheet. The QA/QC Administrator monitors the assay results for
non-compliance andrequests action when necessary. Batcheswith

Criteria Explanation Commentary
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
CRM’s that are outside the ±2SD acceptance criteria are re-assayed
until acceptable results are returned.
Material used for blanks is uncertified, sourced locally, comprising fine
river gravel which has been determined to be below detection limit. A
single blank is submitted every 38 samples. Results are reviewed by the
QA/QC Administrator upon receipt for non-compliances. Any assay
value greater than 0.1 g/t Au will result in a notice to the laboratory.
Blank assays above 0.20 g/t Au result in re-assay of the entire batch.
The duplicate assays (Au2) are taken by the laboratory during the
subsampling at the crushing and pulverisation stages. The results were
analysed using scatter plots and relative percentage difference (RPD)
plots. Repeat assays represent approx. 10% of total samples assayed.
Typically, there is a large variance at the lower grades which is common
for low grade gold deposits, however, the variance decreases to less
than 10% for grades above 0.40 g/t Au, which is the cut-off grade used
at Cowal.
Approximately 5% of the pulps, representing a range of expected
grades, are submitted to an umpire assay laboratory (ALS Orange) to
check for repeatability and precision. Analysis of the data shows that the
Principal Laboratory is performing to an acceptable level.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying

The
verification
of
significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification and
data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data
No dedicated twinning drilling has been conducted for this drill program
however some holes pass through areas of higher confidence material
in order to reach target zones. These areas may be used to validate
exiting drill information.
Cowal uses DataShed software system to maintain the database. Digital
assay results are loaded directly into the database. The software
performs verification checks including checking for missing sample
numbers, matching sample numbers, changes in sampling codes,
inconsistent “from-to” entries, and missing fields. Results are not
entered into the database until the QA/QC Administrator approves of the
results. A QA/QC report is completed for each drill hole and filed with
the log, assay sheet, and other appropriate data. Only the Senior Project
Geologist and Database Manager have administrator rights to the
database. Others can use and sort the database but not save or delete
data.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drillholes (collar and downhole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
All drill hole collars were surveyed using high definition DGPS. All drill
holes were surveyed using a downhole survey camera. The first survey
reading was taken near the collar to determine accurate set up and then
at regular intervals downhole.
On completion of each angled drill hole, a down hole gyroscopic (Gyro)
survey was conducted. The Gyro tool was referenced to the accurate
surface surveyed position of each hole collar.
The Gyro results were entered into the drill hole database without
conversion or smoothing.
An aerial survey was flown during 2003 by AAM Hatch. This digital data
has been combined with surveyed drill hole collar positions and other
features (tracks, lake shoreline) to create a digital terrain model (DTM).
The survey was last updated in late 2014.
In 2004, Cowal implemented a new mine grid system with the
assistance of AAM Hatch. The current mine grid system covers all areas
within the ML and ELs at Cowal with six digits.

APPENDIX 1 – JORC CODE 2012 ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING CRITERIA

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
Diamond holes were positioned to optimise intersection angles of the
target area. In respect of the drilling at E41W drilling is targeted to drill at
right angles to the dominant vein direction however the extent of the vein
package is currently unknown.
The Drilling at Galway Regal is oriented perpendicular to the known
mineralised package.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Drill contractors are issued with drill instructions by an Evolution
geologist. The sheet provides drill hole names, details, sample
requirements, and depths for each drill hole. Drill hole sample bags are
pre-numbered. The drill holes are sampled by Evolution personnel who
prepare sample submission sheets. The submission sheet is then
emailed to the laboratory with a unique submission number assigned.
This then allows individual drill holes to be tracked.
An SGS West Wyalong (SGS) representative collects the samples from
site twice daily, however, if samples are being sent to another laboratory
a local freight company is used to collect the samples from site and
deliver them to the laboratory. Upon arrival, the laboratory sorts each
crate and compares the received samples with the supplied submission
sheet. The laboratory assigns a unique batch number and dispatches a
reconciliation sheet for each submission via email. The reconciliation
sheet is checked and any issues addressed. The new batch name and
dispatch information is entered into the tracking sheet. The laboratory
processes each batch separately and tracks all samples through the
laboratory utilising the LIMS system. Upon completion, the laboratory
emails Standard Industry Format (SIF) files with the results for each
batch to Evolution personnel.
The assay batch files are checked against the tracking spreadsheet and
processed. The drill plan is marked off showing completed drill holes.
Any sample or QA/QC issues with the results are tracked and resolved
with the laboratory.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
QA/QC Audits of the Primary SGS West Wyalong Laboratory are carried
out on an approximately quarterly basis and for the Umpire ASL Orange
Laboratory approximately on a six-monthly basis. Any issues are noted
and agreed remedial actions assigned and dated for completion.
Numerous internal audits of the database and systems have been

The Cowal region has been subject to various exploration and drilling

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
The Cowal gold deposits (E41, E42, E46, Galway and Regal) occur within
the 40 km long by 15 km wide Ordovician Lake Cowal Volcanic Complex,
east of the Gilmore Fault Zone within the eastern portion of the Lachlan
Fold Belt. There is sparse outcrop across the Lake Cowal Volcanic
Complex and, as a consequence, the regional geology has largely been
defined by interpretation of regional aeromagnetic and exploration drilling
programs.
The Lake Cowal Volcanic Complex contains potassium rich calc-alkaline
to shoshonitic high level intrusive complexes, thick trachyandesitic
volcanics, and volcaniclastic sediment piles.
The gold deposits at Cowal are structurally hosted, epithermal to
mesothermal gold deposits occurring within and marginal to a 230m thick
dioritic to gabbroic sill intruding trachy-andesitic volcaniclastic rocks and
lavas.
The overall structure of the gold deposits is complex but in general
consists of a faulted antiform that plunges shallowly to the north-northeast.
The deposits are aligned along a north-south orientated corridor with
bounding faults, the Booberoi Fault on the western side and the Reflector
Fault on the eastern side (the Gold Corridor).

Mungari Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (e.g.
cut channels,
random chips,
or
specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
downhole gamma sondes, handheld
XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as

the
broad
meaning
of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representation and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent
sampling
problems,
or
unusual
commodities/mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules).

Sampling of gold mineralisation at Mungari was undertaken
using diamond core (surface and underground) and reverse
circulation (RC) drill chips.

All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill
core was sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation
related contacts, whilst RC samples were collected at 1m
downhole intervals. Sampling was carried out according to
Evolution 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 are appropriate for the
orogenic mineralised system and are representative for the
mineralisation style. The sampling and assaying suitability was
validated using Evolution’s QAQC protocol and no instruments
or tools requiring calibration were used as part of the sampling
process.

RC drilling was sampled to obtain 1m samples from which 3 to
5 kg was crushed and pulverised to produce a 30g to 50g
subsample for fire assay. Diamond drillcore sample intervals
were based on geology to ensure a representative sample, with
lengths ranging from 0.2 to 1.0m. Surface diamond drilling was
half core sampled. All diamond core samples were dried,
crushed and pulverised (total preparation) to produce a 30g to
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.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).

RC sampling was completed using a 4.5” to 5.5” diameter face
sampling hammer. Diamond holes from both surface and
underground were predominantly wireline NQ2 (50.5mm) or
HQ (63.5mm) holes.

All diamond core from surface and some underground core was
orientated using the reflex (act II or ezi-ori) tool.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether
a
relationship
exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

RC drilling sample weights were recorded for selected sample
intervals and monitored for fluctuations against the expected
sample weight. If samples were below the expected weight,
feedback was given promptly to the RC driller to modify drilling
practices to achieve the expected weights.

All diamond core was orientated and measured during
processing and the recovery recorded into the drill-hole
database. The core was reconstructed into continuous runs on
a cradle for orientation marking. Holes depths were checked
against the driller’s core blocks.

Inconsistencies between the logging and the driller’s core depth
measurement blocks were investigated. Core recovery has
been excellent as all holes are drilled into fresh competent rock.
Surface drilling recoveries were generally excellent with the
exception of oxide zones however these rarely fell below 90%.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery include
instructions to drillers to slow down drilling rates or reduce the
coring run length in less competent ground.

Analysis of drill sample bias and loss/gain was undertaken with
the Overall MineReconciliationperformancewhere available.

Most diamond core drilled from surface was half cored sampled
and the remaining half was retained. In the oxide zone, where
cutting can wash away samples, some surface holes were full
core sampled. A proportion of underground diamond core holes
were half core sampled and the remaining core retained for
further geological or metallurgical analysis.

All RC samples were split by a cone or a riffle splitter and
collected into a sequenced calico bag. Any wet samples that
could not be riffle split were dried then riffle split.

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

The sample and size (2.5kg to 4kg) relative to the particle size
(>85% passing 75um) of the material sampled is a commonly
utilised practice for effective sample representation for gold
deposits within the Eastern Goldfields of Western Australia.

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. The quality control performance was monitored as
part of Evolution’s QAQC procedure.

The sample preparation has been conducted by commercial
laboratories. All samples are oven dried (between 85°C and
105°C), jaw crushed to nominal <3mm and if required split by a
rotary splitter device to a maximum sample weight of 3.5kg as
required. The primary sample is then pulverised in a one stage
process, using a LM5 pulveriser, to a particle size of >85%
passing 75um. Approximately 200g 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 two months.

Measures taken to ensure sample representation include the
collection of field duplicates during RC drilling at a frequency
rate of 5%. Duplicate samples for both RC chips and diamond
core are collected during the sample preparation pulverisation
stage. A comparison of the duplicate sample vs. the primary
sample assay result was undertaken as part of Evolution’s
QAQC protocol. It is considered that all sub-sampling and lab
preparations are consistent with other laboratories in Australia
and are satisfactory for the intended purpose.

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

Nature of quality control procedures

(eg

and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and
precision have been established.

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 Goldfields region. Screen fire assay and
LeachWELL / bottle roll analysis techniques have also been
used to validate the fire assay techniques.

The technique utilised a 30g, 40g or 50g sample charge with a
lead flux, which is decomposed in a furnace with the prill being
totally digested by 2 acids (HCI and HN03) before the gold
content is determined by an AAS machine.

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

Quality control samples were routinely inserted into the
sampling sequence and were also inserted 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

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 Mungari if further verification is
required.

The twinning of holes is not a common practice undertaken at
Mungari. 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 and assay 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) are retained in the exploration and mining offices.

No adjustments or calibrations have been made to the final

All surface drill holes at Mungari have been surveyed for

and stored in MGA 94 Zone 51 and AHD.

Resource drill hole collar positions are surveyed by the site-
based survey department or contract surveyors (utilising a
differential GPS or conventional surveying techniques, with
reference to a known base station) with a precision of less than
0.2m variability.

Underground down hole surveys consist of regular spaced
digital single-shot borehole camera shots (generally 30m apart
down hole), and digital electronic multi-shot surveys (generally
3m apart down hole). In instances where strong ground
magnetics affect the accuracy of the measured azimuth
reading, then these results are removed. The RC and surface
drill hole survey data consists of surveys taken utilising north
seeking gyro instruments. Gyro survey measurements are
obtained every 5 to 10m down hole. A proportion of these holes
are downhole surveyed using a digital single shot survey
technique similar to that of the underground holes, except the
down-hole survey measurement is at a spacing typically 25-
50m apart.

Topographic control was generated from aerial surveys and
detailed Lidar surveys to 0.2m accuracy. Underground void
measurements are computed using CavityMonitoring System

If the relationship between the drilling

material.

Mineralisation at Frog’s Leg is hosted within a number of
steeply dipping NNW-SSE structures that are vertical or dipping
steeply (~80 degrees) to the west. Surface and underground
drilling intersect the mineralisation at an angle to minimise bias.

Mineralisation at White Foil is hosted within a brittle quartz
gabbro unit. The gold is associated with quartz stockworks.
Structural studies confirms the presence of two main vein sets
at White Foil with a dominant moderately NNW dipping set
(51º/346º dip and dip direction) and a secondary SSE dipping
set (56º/174º dip and dip direction).. An identifiable systematic
bias associated with drilling direction has not been established.
The main strike to the gabbro unit is NNW-SSE and it plunges
steeply towards the NNE. The predominant drill direction was
to the SE.

Surface holes and underground resource holes typically
intersect at an angle to the mineralisation and there is no
observed bias associated with drilling orientation.

The relationship between the drilling orientation and the
orientation of key mineralised structures at Mungari is not
considered to have introduced a sampling bias and is not
considered to be material. In a minority of instances on extreme
edges at the Frog’s Leg deposit the drill angle is sub parallel
with the lodes and does not intersect the width of the
mineralisation.

Resource Definition drilling is typically planned to intersect ore
domains in an orientation that does not introduce sample bias.
A small number of holes are drilled at sub-optimal orientations

Chain of custody protocols to ensure the security of samples
were followed. Prior to submission samples were retained on
site and access to the samples were restricted. Collected
samples are dropped off at the respective commercial
laboratories in Kalgoorlie. The laboratories are contained
within a secured/fenced compound. Access into the laboratory
is restricted and movements of personnel and the samples are
tracked under supervision of the laboratory staff. During some
drill campaigns some samples are collected directly from site
by the commercial laboratory. While various laboratories have
been used, the chain of custody and sample security protocols
haveremained similar.

The initial discovery of Frog’s Leg was made by Mines and
Resources Australia Ltd who was a precursor company to La
Mancha Resources Australia Pty Ltd. The deposit was
discovered in 2000 as a result of following up on regional
anomalism identified through rotary air blast (RAB) and aircore
drilling. La Mancha was acquired by Evolution in August 2015.

At White Foil the initial anomaly was identified by Afmeco who
found the Kopai trend which eventually included White Foil. The
discovery was made in 1996 by Mines and Resources Australia
who was a precursor company to La Mancha Resources Australia
Pty Ltd. Placer Dome Ltd was a 49% joint venture partner during
the first mining campaign in 2002-2003

Significant historical work has been performed across the
Regional Tenement package by numerous parties since the
original discovery of gold in the region c.1890. Recent exploration
commenced during the 1970’s onwards and has included
exploration for base metal and gold mineralisation

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Frog’s Leg deposit is located in the southern portion of the
Kundana mining area, within the Achaean Norseman-Wiluna
greenstone belt of the Eastern Goldfields Province. The Kundana
gold deposits are structurally related to the Zuleika Shear Zone,
a regional NNW-trending shear zone that juxtaposes the Ora
Banda domain to the east and the Coolgardie domain to the west.
The Frog’s Leg deposit is located on the sheared contact between
the porphyritic “cat rock” (regionally known as the Victorious
Basalt) and volcaniclastic rocks of Black Flag Beds

The White Foil gold deposit is a quartz stockwork hosted in a
gabbro. The gabbro is differentiated broadly into a quartz-rich
phase in the west. This quartz gabbro unit is the most
hydrothermally altered unit and contains the bulk of the gold
mineralisation. The White Foil deposit is bounded to the west by
hangingwall volcaniclastic rocks. To the east mineralisation
becomes irregular and uneconomic in the more melanocratic
phase of gabbro. Mineralisation is controlled by sheeted systems
of stockwork veining, which has imparted strong alteration and
sulphidation to the quartz gabbro.

The Burgundy prospect is located in the central portion of the
Mungari tenements within the Kunanalling camp. It occurs within
the Telegraph syncline located in the hangingwall to the
Kunanulling Shear Zone. Mineralisation occurs as a stockwork
vein array within a sheared dolerite with layers of interbedded
shale. A narrow and more diffuse zone of mineralisation occurs
within volcanoclastic sediments approximately 50m into the
hangingwall from the main zone. Mineralisation is truncated by at
least 2 late D4 faults over distances of 10’s of metres.

The Emu deposit is located in the central portion of the Mungari
tenements within the Kunanalling Camp. The deposit is hosted in
the footwall to the Kunanalling Shear zone. Mineralisation occurs
as a sheeted vein array within a structurally thickened area of
quartz dolerite.

The Johnsons Rest prospect in located in the central portion of
the Mungari tenements, in the Broads Dam camp. Mineralisation

is hosted by the Johnsons Rest shear, which strikes NW and dips
steeply east. The shear is slightly oblique to geology. In the main
area, the mineralisation is hosted withed basalt, however further
north the shear runs onto and along a contact between ultramafic
(HW) and basalt (FW). Mineralisation is focused into areas of pre-
conditioned carbonate alteration, which has become embrittled,
and failed during subsequent deformation related to gold
mineralisation.

The Red Dam prospect is located in the northern portion of the
Mungari tenements, in the Broads Dam camp. An ultramafic unit
is located within a sequence of volcanoclastic units along a NW
trend, that have been cut by late N trending D4 faults.
Mineralisation occurs as a quartz vein stockwork around the D4
faults, preferentially developed around contacts between the
different lithological units. A supergene blanket of mineralisation
occurs above primary mineralisation, at a depth approximately
25m below surface

The Carbine North prospect is located in the northern portion of
the Mungari tenements, in the Carbine camp. The deposit is
located on the Carbine Shear which may be a linking shear
between the Kunanalling and Zuleika shear zones. The geology
trends NW and from FW to HW consists of an ultramafic to High
Mg basalt which is overlain by a sequence of volcanoclastic
sediments. Primary mineralisation occurs in two parallel shear
zones, one within the ultramafic, the second on the contact
between the two geological units. Supergene mineralisation has
developed as a blanket, overlying the primary mineralisation
approximately 30m below surface

The Broads Dam prospect in located in the central portion of the
Mungari tenements, in the Broads Dam camp. The geology is
complex, but consists of a series of NW trending units comprising
basalt, ultramafic, dolerite and volcanoclastic sediments. Shale
units occur on some contact. To the furthest west, the sequence
is truncated by the Kurrawang Basin sequence of sandstones and
conglomerate. Mineralisation is localised along the Broads Dam
– Blue Funnel Shear. Mineralisation is best developed in zones
where carbonate alteration within basalt and ultramafic has made
the rocks brittle, with mineralisation occurring in quartz veins
emplace as a result of brittle deformation during the gold
mineralising event. Variable supergene mineralisation may locally
occur above primary mineralisation

The Blue Funnel prospect in located in the central portion of the
Mungari tenements, in the Broads Dam camp. The geology is

comprises a folded package of Kurrawang Group late basin
conglomerates, sandstones and siltstones in the footwall of the
Zuleika Shear zone. Mineralisation appears to be associated with
late brittle structures or splays associated with the Zuleika Shear
zone and comprises pervasive albite alteration with minor
sulphides in an angular breccia. The mineralisation appears to be
confined to a conglomerate facies.

The Lady Agnes prospect is located in the northern portion of the
Mungari tenements, in the Ora Banda camp. The geology
comprises Bent Tree Basalt. The mineralisation is associated
with structures related to the Grants Patch Fault and is hosted by
a deeply oxidised structure containing pervasive goethite and
minor quarts.

Cracow Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling
(eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific
specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as downhole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF
instruments,
etc).
These
examples should not be taken as
limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures
taken
to
ensure
sample
representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report. In cases where
‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules)

Sample types collected at Cracow and used in the reporting of assays
were all diamond drill core.

Sample intervals for drill core were determined by visual logging of
lithology type, veining style/intensity and alteration style/intensity to
ensure a representative sample was taken. In addition, sampling is
completed across the full width of mineralisation. Minimum and
maximum sample intervals were applied using this framework. No
instruments or tools requiring calibration were used as part of the
sampling process.

Industry standard procedures were followed with no significant coarse
gold issues that affected sampling protocols. Nominal 3 kg samples from
drill core are subsampled to produce a 50g sample submitted for fire
assay.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse
circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary
air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond
tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by
what method, etc).

A combination of drilling techniques was used across the Cracow Lodes.
Diamond NQ3 (standard) and LTK60 were the most commonly used.
Reported significant intercepts were all drilled from underground and
none of the holes reported were orientated.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise
sample
recovery
and
ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists
between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.

Drill core – the measurement of length drilled Vs. length of core
recovered was completed for each drilled run by the drill crew. This was
recorded on a core loss block placed in the core tray for any loss
identified. Marking up of the core by the geological team then checked
and confirmed these core blocks, and any additional core loss was
recorded and blocks inserted to ensure this data was captured. Any
areas containing core loss were logged using the lithology code “Core
Loss” in the lithology field of the database.

Sample loss at Cracow was calculated at less than 1% and wasn’t
considered an issue. Washing away of sample by the drilling fluid in clay
or fault gouge material is the main cause of sample loss. In areas
identified as having lithologies susceptible to sample loss, drilling
practices and down-hole fluids were modified to reduce or eliminate
sample loss.

The drilling contract used at Cracow states for any given run, a level of
recovery is required otherwise financial penalties are applied to the drill
contractor. This ensures sample recovery is prioritised along with
production performance.

Mineralisation at Cracow was within Quartz-Carbonate fissure veins,
and therefore sample loss rarely occurs in lode material. No relationship
between sample recovery and grade was observed.

and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of
the relevant intersections logged.

Geological logging was undertaken onsite by Evolution employees and
less frequently by external contractors. Logging was completed using
LogChief_Software and uploaded directly to the database. A standard for
logging at Cracow was set by the Core Logging Procedure_Cracow

Procedures Manual 3rd Edition. Drill Core is logged recording lithology,
alteration, veining, mineral sulphides and geotechnical data. RC chip
logging captured the same data with the exclusion of geotechnical
information.

Logging was qualitative. All drill core was photographed wet using a
camera stand and an information board to ensure a consistent standard
of photography and relevant information was captured.

All core samples collected were fully logged.
Sub-sampling

sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core
taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube

Whether
sample
sizes
are
appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.

All drill holes reported were whole core sampled.

Whole core samples were crushed in a jaw crusher to > 70% passing
2mm; half of this material was split with a riffle splitter for pulverising. No
RC samples required crushing in the jaw crusher. Core and RC samples
were pulverised for 10-14 minutes in a LM5 bowl with a target of 85%
passing 75µm. Grind checks were undertaken nominally every 20
samples. From this material approximately 120g was scooped for
further analysis and the remaining material re-bagged. Duplicates were
performed on batches processed by ALS every 20 samples at both the
crushing and pulverising stages. This sample preparation for drill
samples is considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation at
Cracow.

Duplicates were performed on batches processed by ALS Brisbane
every 20 samples at both the crushing and pulverising stages.

Grind checks were undertaken nominally every 20 samples, to ensure
sample grind target of 85% passing 75µm was met. Duplicates were
completed every 20 samples at both the crushing and pulverising
stages, with no bias found at any sub-sampling stage.

The sample size collected is considered to be appropriate for the size
and characteristic of the gold mineralisation being sampled.

Sample Analyses – The samples were analysed by 50g Fire Assay for
Au with Atomic Absorption (AAS) finish and was performed at ALS
Townsville. For Ag an Aqua Regia digest with AAS finish was completed,
also at ALS Townsville.

An analytical duplicate was performed every 20 samples, aligned in
sequence with the crushing and pulverising duplicates. The Fire Assay
Method is a total technique.

No other instruments that required calibration were used for analysis to
compliment the assaying at Cracow.

Thirteen externally certified standards at a suitable range of gold grades
(including blanks) were inserted at a minimum rate of 1:20 with each
sample submission. All non-conforming results were investigated and
verified prior to acceptance of the assay data. Results that did not
conform to the QAQC protocols were not used in resource estimations.

Monthly QAQC reports were produced to watch for any trends or issues
with bias, precision and accuracy.

An inspection of both the prep lab in Brisbane and the assay lab in
Townsville was conducted in December 2016 by Cracow personnel.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.

Verification of assay results was standard practice, undertaken at a
minimum once per year. In 2015, 547 pulp samples from Cracow
drillcore were retested at SGS Townsville to compare to the results
produced by ALS Townsville. The umpire sampling confirmed the
accuracy of the ALS Townsville assaying was within acceptable error
limits.

All sample information was stored using_Datashed_, an SQL database.
The software contains a number of features to ensure data integrity.
These include (but not limited to) not allowing overlapping sample

Down-hole surveys were captured by an Eastman camera for older
holes and a Reflex camera on recent holes.

The mine co-ordinate system at Cracow is named the Klondyke Mine
Grid, which transforms to MGA94 Grid and was created and maintained
by onsite registered surveyors.

Whether sample compositing has
been applied.

No significant drill hole exploration results are being reported.

Sample spacing and distribution was deemed sufficient for resource
estimation.

Spacing and distribution varied a range of drill patterns: 20x20, 40x40x
and 80x80.

The sample spacing required for the resource category of each ore body
is unique and may not fit the idealised spacing indicated above.

All datasets were composited prior to estimation. The most frequent
interval length was 1 metre, particularly inside and around mineralised
zones. Sample intervals for most domains were composited to 1m, with
a maximum sample length of no greater than 1.5m and a minimum
sample
interval
of
0.2m.
A small number of lodes utilised a 1.5m composite as was appropriate
for the sample set for those deposits.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves
unbiased
sampling
of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the
drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a
sampling
bias,
this
should
be
assessed and reported if material.

Sample bias from non-orientation of core is considered minimal in
respect to mineralisation at Cracow. All significant drill hole results
reported were whole core sampled

Drill holes were designed to ensure angles of sample intersection with
the mineralisation was as perpendicular as possible. Where a poor
intersection angle of individual holes locally distorted the interpreted
mineralisation, these holes may not have been used to generate the
wireframe.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

All staff undergo Police Clearances, are instructed on relevant JORC
2012 requirements and assaying is completed by registered
laboratories.

The core was transported by a private contractor by truck to the assay
laboratories.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or
reviews of sampling techniques and
data.

An inspection of sample preparation facility in Brisbane and the Fire
Assay laboratory in Townsville was conducted in by Cracow personnel
in December 2016. No major issues were found.

The Cracow Goldfields were discovered in 1932, with the identification of
mineralisation at Dawn then Golden Plateau in the eastern portion of the
field. From 1932 to 1992, mining of Golden Plateau and associated trends
produced 850Koz. Exploration across the fields and nearby regions was
completed by several identities including BP Minerals Australia,
Australian Gold Resources Ltd, ACM Operations Pty Ltd, Sedimentary
Holdings NL and Zapopan NL.

In 1995, Newcrest Mining Ltd (NML) entered into a 70 % share of the
Cracow Joint Venture. Initially exploration was targeting porphyry type
mineralisation, focusing on the large areas of alteration at Fernyside and
Myles Corridor. This focus shifted to epithermal exploration of the western
portion of the field, after the discovery of the Vera Mineralisation at
Pajingo, which shared similarities with Cracow. The Royal epithermal
mineralisation was discovered in 1998, with further discoveries of Crown,
Sovereign, Empire, Phoenix, Kilkenny and Tipperary made from 1998 up
to 2008

Evolution was formed from the divestment of Newcrest assets (including
Cracow) and the merging of Conquest and Catalpa in 2012. Evolution
continued exploration at Cracow from 2012.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Cracow project area gold deposits are in the Lower Permian
Camboon Andesite on the south-eastern flank of the Bowen Basin. The
regional strike is north-northwest and the dip 20° west-southwest. The
Camboon Andesite consists of andesitic and basaltic lava, with
agglomerate, tuff and some inter-bedded trachytic volcanics. The
andesitic lavas are typically porphyritic, with phenocrysts of plagioclase
feldspar (oligocalse or andesine) and less commonly augite. To the west,
the Camboon Andesite is overlain with an interpreted disconformity by
fossiliferous limestone of the Buffel Formation. It is unconformably
underlain to the east by the Torsdale Beds, which consist of rhyolitic and
dacitic lavas and pyroclastics with inter-bedded trachytic and andesitic
volcanics, sandstone, siltstone, and conglomerate.

Mineralisation is hosted in steeply dipping low sulphidation epithermal
veins. These veins found as discrete and as stockwork and are composed
of quartz, carbonate and adularia, with varying percentages of each
mineral. Vein textures include banding (colloform, crustiform, cockade,
moss), breccia channels and massive quartz, and indicate depth within
the epithermal system. Sulphide percentage in the veins are generally low
(<3%) primarily composed of pyrite, with minor occurrences of hessite,
sphalerite and galena. Rare chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite and bornite can
also be found.

Alteration of the country rock can be extensive and zone from the central
veined structure. This alteration consists of silicification, phyllic alteration
(silica, sericite and other clay minerals) and argillic alteration in the inner
zone, grading outwards to potassic (adularia) then an outer propylitic
zone. Gold is very fined grained and found predominantly as electrum but
less common within clots of pyrite.

fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation
may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules)

Reported assay data for this report is based on PQ, HQ
diameter core. PQ was drilled largely through weathered zones
and broken ground of weak mineralisation then followed with
HQ diamond core to end of hole. Oxidised core (PQ) is usually
sampled using kitchen knife whiles competent core HQ size
was cut with a diamond saw along orientation lines. Nominal
sampling intervals for all core is 1m lengths. Shorter or longer
core (<2m) sampling lengths occurs on occasions where
adjustments are required to core loss, alteration or lithology
changes.

The length of each core recovered from a drill run is recorded
and the percentage recovered calculated. Field core recovery
records are validated at the coreshed prior to cutting and
sampling. Bottom half of split core was preserved and the other
half sent for analysis. This is done consistently to avoid
sampling bias. A duplicate quarter core sample is taken for
every 20thcore sample.

Half core samples averaging 2-31/2kg along with quarter core
samples are prepared and analysed at SGS Townsville facility.
Weights of samples dried at 105OC are recorded and crushed
to 2mm. Samples are split and excess bagged if crushed weight
is greater than 3kg. LM5’s are used to pulverise samples to
85% passing 75um. A 200g pulp split is taken for analysis which
comprise; a 50g charge fire assay with AA finish and ICP-AES
for multi-element suite.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).

Diamond drilling was undertaken with PQ and HQ bits. Holes
were usually started with PQ and completed with HQ or NQ on
occasions due to poor ground conditions. Coring was by triple
tube and all cores were oriented using Reflex Act RD2
orientation tool.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Field recovery records for core are reconciled with driller’s
depth blocks. Percentage core recovery is calculated and
stored in a database along with Geotechnical records.

Drillers are informed of the importance of core recovery, all
necessary care is taken to ensure every drill run has maximum
core recovered. Shot core runs were done in bad ground to
ensure core loss is significantly minimised. Areas of poor core
recovery were noted during logging. “CL” is marked on depth
blocks denoting core loss. Intervals of core losses are
considered during sampling and referenced when assessing
assay data.

No discernible relationship between core loss and grade has
been identified. Mineralisation is hosted within fresh advance
argillic rhyodacite unit where core recoveries are more than
90%. Bonanza gold grade occurs within feeder zones with
fracture filled enargite and hydrothermal breccias veining
cemented in silicic alteration overprinted by sulphur salts with
random acid leached zones. Core loss sometimes occurs in the
acid leach zones and sheared contacts bordering mafic dykes
and rhyodacite. Drillers take great care drilling through such
zones to minimise sample loss. Overall recovery is more than
90% and core loss is volumetrically insignificant. In weathered
overlying lithology where oxidation has occurred between
sheared lithology contacts, core loss is unavoidable but
recovery is generally more than 85%. Mineralisation in the
lithology overlying the rhyodacite is generally weak and
therefore has less impact on modelled bonanza high grade.

APPENDIX 1 – JORC CODE 2012 ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING CRITERIA

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a
level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative
in nature. Core (or costean, channel etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Geology logging is undertaken for all drill cores. Structural and
geotechnical logging occurs for core only. Detailed logging is
undertaken for the entire drillhole in domains of alteration,
mineralisation and lithology. Densities of various lithological
units and analytical spectral data (ASD) data are captured as
part of the logging process. Lithogeochemical samples are
collected in areas where lithology units are not easily
discernible. The logging process is appropriate for Mineral
Resource estimates, mining and metallurgical studies.

General logging data captured are; qualitative (descriptions of
the various geological features and units) and quantitative
(numbers representing alteration intensities, vein densities,
rock mass quality and defect planes)

Drill holes (All core) were logged as full core prior to
photographing (dry and wet) and cutting.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling
is representative of the in-situ material
collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.

Core was cut using diamond core saw along orientation lines
and sampled at nominal one metre intervals from the same side
in the tray at all times. All core samples submitted to SGS
Townsville for analysis are half core except for duplicate core
which is quarter core. The remaining half/quarter core is
persevered in the tray for further test work or re-logging if
required.

Core sample preparation involves oven drying, coarse
crushing to ~2mm followed by pulverisation of the entire
sample (total prep) using LM5 grinding mills to a grind size
85% passing 75 microns. A 50g sub-sample is utilised for fire
assay. Sample preparation and analysis follows industry best
practise and appropriate for the mineralisation.

Certified reference material along with blanks and field
duplicates are inserted into sample stream along with the
original samples. Standards, blanks and field duplicates cover
5% of sample volume to monitor sample preparation and the
analytical process.

The high sulphidation epithermal mineralisation at Mt Carlton
occurs in zones of highly silicic altered hydrothermal breccias
overprinted by several phases of sulfur salts containing
bonanza gold grades and anomalous base-metal grades. Core
sample size of 2-31/2kg sample length over 1m is suitable for
the mineralisation type.

The sample sizes are considered appropriate for the material
sampled. It is believed that grain size bears no impact on
sampled material.
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.

For
geophysical
tools,
spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters
used in determining the analysis including
instrument make and model, reading times,
calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

All core samples are analysed at SGS Townsville. Gold was
analysed using 50g charge fire assay followed by AAS finish.
Base metal and other elements are analysed using ICP-AES
following a four-acid digest. The analytical method used by
SGS approaches total dissolution of high sulphidation
epithermal mineral assemblages of the Mt Carlton deposit. The
sample preparation and assay techniques meet industry best
practise.

Spectral data is collected consistently at a spot within a meter
mark using short wave infrared spectrometer (Potable Terra
Spec Halo). Data is processed using TerraSpec/TSG Pro
software in the context of the project geology. The accuracy and
spread of “Standard” data is acceptable within 2 standard
deviations. Any outlier between the second and third standard
deviation triggers an anomaly and is investigated. An entire
batch is re-analysed when a sample plots outside three
standard deviations. Blanks are acceptable within 10Xpractical
detection limit, five samples preceding and following the outlier
are re-analysed. The internal QAQC data of SGS is accessible
online. The analytical system at SGS captures data at all stages
of the sample preparation and analytical process. The system
minimises human error and ensures high data integrity. SGS
participatesinan international “RoundRobin”QAQC program

the Mining Lease, and surrounding EPM’s.

ML 10343 is surrounded by a number of EPM’s forming the Mt Carlton
project area, with ML10343 within EPM10164. The Mt Carlton project
currently covers 875km2, the EPM’s are in good standing with no
significant risk regarding land access which inhibit future work. A royalty
agreement is currently in place between Conquest Mining Pty Ltd and
Gold Fields Australasia Pty Ltd whose interest has been transferred to
Maverick Pty Ltd since January 2017.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.

Exploration within the Mt Carlton EPM’s and ML10343 commenced in the
1970’s, with BHP, Ashton Mining, MIM exploration and others exploring
the Capsize Range area within the current EPM10164 for porphyry copper
and epithermal styles of mineralisation. In 2006, Conquest Mining
discovered the V2 high sulphidation epithermal Au-Cu deposit, and Ag rich
A39 deposit, with follow up work within the ML10343.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.

The Mt Carlton high sulphidation deposit is located in the Early Permian
Lizzie Creek. Mineralisaton is hosted within porphyritic rhyodacite which
underlay a package of andesite lavas and fragmental volcanics. Basaltic
to andesitic dykes crosscut mineralisation and mirror pre-existing
structures. Gold mineralisation at V2 is associated with enargite–tennantite
copper and silver minerals.

o elevation or RL of the drillhole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o downhole length and interception
depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the

incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.

Significant intercepts calculation is based on a downhole intercept
weighted length of 1m above a 0.35g/t cut-off of the resource model with
an allowable internal dilution for intervals up to 2m. No top cuts have been
applied in the calculation.

Composite and internal significant values are stated for clarity.

APPENDIX 1 – JORC CODE 2012 ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING CRITERIA

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole
lengths are reported, there should be a
clear statement to this effect (eg
‘downhole length, true width not known’)

Mt Carlton mineralisation generally trends NE and dips moderately to the
west. Brecciated silica ledges which control bonanza lodes dips steeply to
the west and plunges NE. These zones are discrete and discontinuous.
Mineralised zones are based on interpreted geology and structural trends
from drillhole data and pit mapping.

Reported intervals are downhole widths as true widths are not currently
known. An estimated true width (etw) is provided in the Drill Hole
Information Summary appendix.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported. These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole

A representative section of significant intercepts of HC17DD1245,
HC17DD1246, HC17DD1247 is shown below.
