OPERATIONS

Group gold production for the March 2017 quarter was 202,926 ounces which was in line with guidance of approximately 200,000 ounces issued in the ASX announcement on 22 March 2017 entitled “Ernest Henry Site Visit and Operating Update” (Dec qtr: 217,812oz). Average C1 cash cost was A$599/oz (Dec qtr: A$585/oz). AISC[1] declined 7% to a record low A$840/oz (Dec qtr: A$900/oz). Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7584, Evolution’s Group C1 cash cost equated to US$454/oz and Group AISC to US$637/oz – ranking Evolution as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world.

In the March 2017 quarter Evolution delivered operating mine cash flow of A$166.5 million and net mine cash flow, post all sustaining and major capital, of A$110.7 million (Dec qtr: operating cash flow A$170.3 million; net mine cash flow A$102.1 million). Evolution made debt repayments totalling A$40.0 million and a dividend payment of A$27.4 million net of the Dividend Reinvestment Plan during the quarter.

As at 31 March 2017, gross debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Revolving and Term Facility was A$560.0 million. Net debt was reduced to A$541.2 million.

Ernest Henry was a standout in its first full quarter of attributable production to the Group producing 22,246 ounces of payable gold at a negative AISC of A$(447)/oz. Gold sales of Ernest Henry production commenced in the March 2017 quarter with 14,070oz sold, representing November and December 2016 production. March quarter production of 22,246oz will be delivered and sold during the June 2017 quarter which will be the first quarter in which Evolution receives a full three months of cash proceeds from Ernest Henry.

Mt Carlton delivered another exceptionally strong quarter despite a five day suspension at the end of March during Cyclone Debbie. 25,536 payable ounces of gold were produced at record low costs of C1 A$259/oz and an AISC of A$509/oz.

During the quarter the Board approved the Cowal E42 Stage H cutback and Dual Leach Project. This has secured a mine life for the operation of at least 15 years and creates further asset enhancement opportunities including:

  • Co-treatment of high-grade oxide stockpiles

  • Potential to increase throughput to 9.0 – 9.5 million tonnes per annum

  • Continued drilling to convert significant mineral endowment outside of existing Ore Reserves

Evolution today released its annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves[3] (MROR) estimates at 31 December 2016. A focus on extending the average mine life of its asset base has resulted in significant year-on-year improvements to mineral inventory with an average Group reserve life now more than eight years. Evolution is committed to building a sustainable business that prospers through the cycle and has therefore used an unchanged and conservative gold price assumption of A$1,350 per ounce (US$1,010/oz)[2] to estimate Reserves. Gold Ore Reserves increased by 1.14 million ounces (19%) year-on-year to 6.99 million ounces after accounting for mining depletion of 913,000 ounces.

Evolution expects gold production in the June 2017 quarter to be above 210,000 ounces and to comfortably deliver its FY17 guidance of 800 – 860koz. AISC are expected to be at the bottom end of the A$900 – A$960/oz guidance range while gated project capital approved by the Board in February for the Stage H cutback and Dual Leach Project at Cowal will add A$20 – A$25/oz to Group AISC in FY17.

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal produced 64,699oz of gold at a C1 cash cost of A$638/oz and AISC of A$845/oz (Dec 2016 qtr: 71,903oz, C1 A$518/oz and AISC A$815/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$51.4 million. Net mine cash flow of A$39.1 million was achieved (Dec 2016 qtr: A$45.7 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$12.3 million.

Mining activities focussed on the E42 Stage G cutback to a current operating level of 903mRL.

Various activities were completed in preparation towards commencing trial mining of triple benches in the E42 Stage G pit. This design change is expected to improve berm retention, reduce rock fall incidents and improve inter-ramp slope angles. The project is in its initial stages and will continue throughout FY18.

During the quarter Board approval was received to proceed with the E42 Stage H cutback and construction of a Dual Leach circuit in the processing plant. Preparatory works are underway for the Stage H cutback with material movement planned to ramp up in the September 2017 quarter. Engineering design works are in progress for the Dual Leach Project with construction expected to commence in the December 2017 quarter. Expenditure of gated capital relating to these new projects at Cowal is expected to see AISC increase to around A$1,200 per ounce in the June 2017 quarter.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Cowal was awarded “NSW Mining Operation of the Year” at the NSW Mining Industry and Suppliers’ Awards.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 33,915oz of gold at a C1 cash cost of A$1,046/oz and AISC of A$1,221/oz (Dec 2016 qtr: 41,645oz, C1 A$777/oz, AISC A$1,015/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$21.0 million. Net mine cash flow of A$11.4 million was achieved (Dec 2016 qtr: A$21.7 million) post sustaining capital and major capital of A$9.6 million.

The Frog’s Leg underground mine produced 158kt ore tonnes at a grade of 4.5g/t. Total development increased by 15% compared to the December quarter. Ore production was focussed on the Mist diminishing pillar. Paste costs have been reduced by approximately 40% over the past 12 months.

Mining of the White Foil open pit continued to focus on Stage 2b. The Stage 3 cutback will be prioritised in the June quarter upon completion of Stage 2b. Unseasonably heavy rainfall throughout the quarter adversely impacted open pit activities. As a result, material movement was reduced to 2.4Mt. Drilling activities were increased as the pit transitioned to 100% drill and blast.

A full reline of the mill was successfully completed during the quarter. Recoveries improved to 93.8%. Work continued in preparation for a second Knelson concentrator and a particle size analyser to be installed in the June quarter.

As highlighted in the December 2016 Quarterly Report mined grades are expected to remain below reserve grade during the second half of FY17. Production in the June 2017 quarter is expected to be similar to the March 2017 quarter.

OPERATIONS

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Mt Carlton produced 25,536oz of payable gold contained in 13,773 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of gold concentrate (Dec qtr: 25,674oz, 13,877dmt).

Record low costs were achieved with C1 cash costs of A$259/oz and an AISC of A$509/oz (Dec qtr: C1 A$277/oz, AISC A$604/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$28.6 million. Mt Carlton delivered net mine cash flow of A$22.2 million (Dec 2016 qtr: A$22.6 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$6.4 million.

Concentrate shipments for the March quarter were 13,575 dmt across seven shipments. A total of 203,109 tonnes of V2 ore grading 5.31g/t gold was treated.

Mining of the Stage 3a western end of the V2 pit continued with a focus on accessing high-grade ore to blend with low to medium grade Run of Mine stocks. Mining of the Stage 3b pre-strip commenced in January and is on schedule to access first ore in the March quarter 2018.

Mt Carlton was impacted by Tropical Cyclone Debbie in late March 2017 with the operation shut down for five days. No significant damage was caused to the site’s infrastructure.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 24,662oz of gold in the March quarter at a C1 cash cost of A$694/oz and AISC of A$907/oz (Dec 2016 qtr: 25,983oz, C1 A$656/oz, AISC A$898/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$15.2 million. Mt Rawdon delivered net mine cash flow of A$8.0 million (Dec 2016 qtr: A$7.9 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$7.2 million.

Mining activities were focussed on the progression of Stage 4. Ore was sourced from the northern section of the open pit. Waste and ore movements continued in the south western section.

Total ore mined was 1.18Mt at an average grade of 0.91g/t gold. The plant processed 800kt at an average head grade of 1.09g/t gold. Lower grade ore was stockpiled.

In the June quarter work will focus on waste movement from the south western sections of Stage 4. Ore to the mill will be predominantly supplied from the north and north western sections.

Commissioning of the gravity recoverable gold circuit commenced in March but was interrupted by the cyclone. Commissioning is anticipated to be completed in April with the first gold doré pour planned for late April.

The underground pre-feasibility study (PFS) confirmed positive economics for a Stage 4 pit cutback combined with an underground operation to extract the Link Zone. Further studies are in progress.

OPERATIONS

Edna May, Western Australia (100%)

Edna May produced 10,480oz at a C1 cash cost of A$1,772/oz and AISC of A$1,849/oz (Dec 2016 qtr: 18,588oz, C1 cash cost A$1,350/oz, AISC A$1,478/oz).

Unit costs increased due to lower gold production and significantly higher material movement.

Open pit mining was within the Stage 2 north cutback. Total material mined of 3,216kt was higher than the previous quarter (Dec 2016 qtr: 1,661kt) as impediments were removed and productivity improved.

The north cutback was in the pre-strip phase which allowed limited access to ore. A lack of available ore resulted in the processing plant incurring two shutdown periods totalling 17 days. Approximately 35% of ore processed during the quarter was sourced from low grade stockpiles.

Rehabilitation of the underground continued with an additional 508m of the decline completed plus 92m of level rehabilitation for infrastructure.

Although a lack of available ore translated to a poor March quarter, the turnaround is progressing at Edna May as a result of changes implemented under new management post the review of operations. Ore mined is expected to be substantially higher in the June 2017 quarter and throughout FY18 with increased availability of ore in the open pit. Edna May expects to produce between 20,000 – 25,000 ounces of gold at a significantly lower ASIC in the June 2017 quarter.

Cracow, Queensland (100%)

Cracow produced 21,388oz of gold at a C1 cash cost of A$784/oz, and significantly reduced AISC of A$1,049/oz (Dec 2016 qtr: 19,763oz, C1 A$782/oz, AISC A$1,283/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$17.4 million. Cracow delivered net mine cash flow of A$11.6 million (Dec 2016 qtr: A$3.6 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$5.8 million.

Cracow continues to operate without a lost time injury. The TRIFR has been reduced from 18.8 in June 2016 to 6.9 at the end of March 2017.

A total of 128kt of ore was mined at an average grade of 5.44g/t gold. Primary ore sources were the Kilkenny and Empire ore bodies. Grades are expected to improve in the June 2017 quarter with increased production from Kilkenny transverse stopes and Empire 1854 level.

Ore processed was 130kt at an average grade of 5.43g/t gold. Gold recovery was 94.5%. Plant utilisation was 95.6%.

OPERATIONS

Ernest Henry, Queensland (Economic interest; 100% Gold and 30% Copper Production)[1]

The March 2017 quarter included the first full quarter of Evolution’s attributable production from the Ernest Henry operation. Evolution’s interest for the quarter delivered 22,246oz of payable gold and 4,997t of payable copper at an AISC of A$(447)/oz. The cost performance continues to be exceptional with a C1 cash cost of A$(645)/oz after accounting for copper and silver by-product credits (December qtr: 14,257oz payable gold and 3,125t of payable copper, C1 A$(481)/oz, AISC A$(114)/oz). Cash costs (C1) comprised of operating costs of A$1,110/oz and by-product credits of A$1,755/oz.

Ore mined was 1,640kt at an average grade of 0.56g/t gold and 1.12% copper. Underground development was 1,299m. Ore processed was 1,617kt at an average grade of 0.56g/t gold and 1.12% copper. Gold recovery of 79.2% and copper recovery of 95.4% was achieved with mill utilisation at 86.8%.

Copper sales in the quarter were 4,997t at an average copper price of A$7,726/t.

Gold sales of Ernest Henry production commenced in the March 2017 quarter with 14,070oz sold, representing November and December 2016 production. March quarter production of 22,246oz is not included in group gold sales or revenue for the March quarter, which is classified as inventory until sold, as per the Offtake Agreement. This gold will be delivered and sold during the June 2017 quarter which will be the first quarter in which Evolution receives a full three months of cash flow from Ernest Henry.

Operating mine cash flow for the quarter was A$33.9 million representing the gold (A$22.5 million) and by-product sales of copper (A$38.6 million) and silver (A$0.4 million) net of Evolution’s operating costs of A$27.7 million. Ernest Henry generated an impressive net mine cash flow for Evolution of A$32.4 million, post sustaining capital of A$1.4 million.

FINANCIALS

Evolution’s portfolio of assets has again delivered an exceptional financial result, with quarterly record lows achieved both for All-in Sustaining Cost and All-in Cost. Evolution’s strong operating result allowed for the debt repayments totalling A$40.0 million during the quarter as well as the payment of A$27.4 million in dividends net of the Dividend Reinvestment Program.

These payments were made possible as Evolution generated operating mine cash flow of A$166.5 million which was slightly lower than the December 2016 quarter of A$170.3 million due to a lower average gold price and lower gold ounces sold in the quarter. Importantly net mine cash flow of A$110.7 million achieved was higher than the December 2016 quarter of A$102.2 million due to lower capital investment. A total of A$55.7 million of capital was invested in the quarter with A$25.2 million in sustaining capital and $30.5 million in major project capital.

Evolution sold 193,431 oz of gold at an average gold price of A$1,600/oz (December 2016 qtr: 198,782 oz at A$1,603/oz). Deliveries into the hedge book totalled 60,495oz at an average price of A$1,580/oz with the remaining 132,936 oz of gold delivered on spot markets at an average price of A$1,611/oz.

All sites, with the exception of Edna May, were cash flow positive for the quarter after meeting all their operating and capital expenditure needs. Edna May continued to invest in the waste stripping in the open pit and development of the first stage of the underground mine. With higher production and lower capital investment planned at Edna May in the June 2017 quarter, an improved financial performance is expected.

In terms of net mine cash flow the standouts were Cowal (A$39.1 million), Ernest Henry (A$32.4 million) and Mt Carlton (A$22.2 million). Mungari’s net mine cash flow of A$11.4 million was down on last quarter due to lower production, whilst Cracow’s net mine cash flow of $11.6 million significantly improved on the previous quarter as a result of higher production and lower capital expenditure.

Capital investment for the quarter of A$55.7 million (December 2016 qtr: A$68.0 million) was in line with plan. During the quarter the main capital expenditure items included: Cowal resource definition drilling and Stage H related truck refurbishment costs (A$5.2 million); Edna May Southern and Northern cutbacks (A$10.4 million) and underground mine construction (A$2.7 million); Mt Rawdon capital waste stripping continued in the southern end of Stage 4 (A$4.5 million); Mungari capital waste stripping (A$3.1 million) and underground development (A$4.6 million); Cracow underground mine development (A$3.1 million); and Mt Carlton capital waste stripping in the northern section of Stage 3 (A$4.1 million).

FY17 Group capital expenditure is expected to be around the top end of the A$195.0 – A$250.0 million guidance range. This includes an additional A$20.0 million of gated capital approved by the Board in February associated with Cowal projects.

Discovery expenditure in the quarter totalled A$7.0 million (December 2016 qtr: A$9.0 million). The decreased expenditure reflects lower drilling activity of 32,264m (49,218m in December 2016 qtr). Corporate administration costs for the quarter were A$7.6 million (December 2016 qtr: A$6.7 million).

  • Drill testing the Mungari mine corridor for repetitions of high-grade mineralisation east and southeast of Frogs Leg. Regional drilling continued along the Zuleika Shear Zone at Blue Funnel South, Julius to Broads Dam and Leatherface

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Near mine exploration

E42 step-out drilling and E42 exploration diamond drilling program

Activity comprised 10,987m of drilling with the completion of the Resource Definition program to the south west of the Stage H pit and commencement of exploration drilling between the E42 and E41 resources in a target zone named “Beagle”. Observations from drill core have identified the association of mineralisation to different phases of diorite within a composite intrusion. Two exploration holes (1,425m) were drilled this quarter.

Results from the step-out drilling confirmed the overall tenor of mineralisation is consistent with that delineated in the Stage H pit, however the zone is narrowing down-dip to the west. Significant intercepts included[1] :

  • 2m grading 35.95 g/t Au from 443m including 1m grading 56.4 g/t Au from 444m (E42D1743A)

  • 13m grading 3.72 g/t Au from 640m (E42D1744A)

  • 5m grading 7.08 g/t Au from 607m including 1m grading 27.2 g/t Au from 609m (E42D1744B)

EXPLORATION

Regional exploration

The transfer of the Marsden project[1] tenements (EL5524 & EL6593) was received this quarter. The East Girral tenement (EL8425) located 30km north north-west of the Cowal operation was also secured. An air core exploration drilling campaign will commence in the June 2017 quarter.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Near mine exploration

Exploration drilling totalled 392 holes for 28,844m focusing at Ora Banda, Frog’s Leg East and in the Julius to Broads Dam areas.

At Ora Banda, framework RC and aircore drilling (18,041m) was completed on a number of tenements acquired as part of the Phoenix transaction. A number of new targets were identified analogous to existing mineralisation styles in the Ora Banda camp. Follow-up drilling is planned across the next two quarters.

A framework line of nine diamond holes (for 3,379m) was drilled east of the Frog’s Leg mine traversing 1.4km of stratigraphy with no previous bed rock drilling (>50m true depth). Drilling was undertaken to define the geology in a poorly understood area adjacent to the underground operations. Favourable stratigraphy and structures were identified reinforcing potential for parallel positions to the Frog’s Leg mine. Assay results are pending.

At Julius, six diamond holes (for 815m) were extended and seven additional RC holes (for 1,204m) were drilled to define the mineralisation to the south. All holes intersected the prospective structural-stratigraphic position without returning any significant intersections. Results will be incorporated in a regional geological model to further assist targeting of new positions along the structure which could host larger scale mineralisation.

Aircore drilling at the Blue Funnel South targeted a 7km section of the Zuleika Shear Zone in a location where interpretations of seismic data have identified architecture favourable for hosting gold mineralisation. A total of 24 holes for 1,629m were drilled completing 3 sections of the 19 line program. Results from the first two of the 350m spaced lines are encouraging with anomalous gold encountered along all three fences. The remainder of the program will be completed in the September 2017 quarter.

Resource definition drilling

Drilling of the Burgundy, Backflip, Carbine North, Kintore, Red Dam resources within the Mungari Regional projects totalled 10,177.4m. In addition, a drill program to sterilise a site for a third Tailings Storage Facility near the Mungari plant was completed.

The intent of the regional resource definition programs is to evaluate and prioritise the remaining resources and to advance them through the project pipeline to Ore Reserves.

Regional Projects

Burgundy

The program finalised the Burgundy Ore Reserve and confirmed the site for operational readiness within the regional project pipeline. Drilling comprised of 44 RC holes along strike of the December 2016 Mineral Resource and tested quartz stockwork vein mineralisation hosted within a dolerite rock unit located on the western limb of the Telegraph syncline. Twelve holes were also drilled to confirm and sterilise a waste dump site.

Significant intercepts from Burgundy included:

  • 4m (3m etw) grading 3.81g/t Au from 9m and 7m (5.75m etw) grading 1.47g/t Au from 39m (BURC017)

Cracow, Queensland (100%)

Resource Definition Drilling

A total of 12,966m was drilled targeting the northern extension of the Coronation Lodes along strike towards Imperial, the southern portion of Baz, upper section of Griffin and infill drilling at Griffin.

Drilling confirmed an extension of the Griffin Lode. A new vein to the east of Griffin was also intersected in the same drill holes potentially linking the Phoenix Lode north to the Baz Structure. This location has potential for adding to the Cracow Mineral Resource base and is a high priority for further testing.

Results from a further four further holes drilled during the quarter are expected in April.

Regional exploration

Exploration focussed on the Walhalla and Valkyrie Prospects located 2.5km north-east and 1.5km north-west from the Cracow Gold Field respectively. Work completed at these two locations included geological mapping, spectral analysis and interpretation of alteration zones, and rock-chip sampling which returned highly anomalous results. Interpretation of this data concluded that both prospects are preserved in the upper levels of a potentially mineralised epithermal system. Both targets will be drilled in the June 2017 quarter.

Tennant Creek, Northern Territory (earning 65% in Stage 1)

An ultra-detailed gravity survey was completed at Edna Beryl in March 2017. The survey delineated the small ironstone occurrences which host high grade gold mineralisation in the shallow underground workings. The survey will be extended further along strike to the east and west to screen for blind ironstone bodies capable of hosting additional mineralisation. Field work is expected to recommence in earnest during Q4 FY17.

Evolution and Emmerson Resources agreed to extend the Stage 1 earn-in period until 31 December 2017.

Puhipuhi, New Zealand (100%)

Compilation and integration of recently received assay and multi-element geochemical data was completed during the quarter. No new fieldwork was undertaken. The Discovery Group is presently reviewing exploration opportunities to be prioritised in FY18. A decision on future commitments at Puhipuhi will be made upon completion of this review process.

Further information on all reported exploration results included in this report is provided in the Drill Hole Information Summary and JORC Code 2012 Table 1 presented in Appendix 3 of this report.

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves

Evolution today announced the outcome of its annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimates (refer to ASX release “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement” dated 20 April 2017).

Evolution is committed to building a sustainable business that prospers through the cycle and therefore an unchanged and conservative gold price assumption of A$1,350 per ounce (US$1,010/oz) was used for the Ore Reserves estimates.

Group Ore Reserves at 31 December 2016 are estimated at 6.99 million ounces of gold and 212,000 tonnes of copper compared with the 31 December 2015 estimate of 5.85 million ounces of gold and 16,000 tonnes of copper. The net increase of 1.14 million ounces of gold is after accounting for mining depletion of 913,000 ounces of gold.

Highly successful resource definition drilling programs totalling 178,380 drilled metres in 2016 resulted in all six owned operations reporting an increase in Ore Reserves prior to mining depletion.

Group Mineral Resources at 31 December 2016 are estimated at 14.18 million ounces of gold and 1.03 million tonnes of copper compared with the estimate at 31 December 2015 of 14.01 million ounces of gold and 28,000 tonnes of copper. This represents a net increase of 0.16 million ounces after accounting for mining depletion of 0.91 million ounces of gold.

Further details are provided in Appendix 2 of this release.

Forward looking statements

This report 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.

APPENDIX 1 – ERNEST HENRY REPORTING

This Appendix outlines the reporting of Evolution’s share of its economic interest in the Ernest Henry operation.

Production

Gold and copper concentrate production is reported in the same month as it is produced at Ernest Henry.

Sales

Copper and silver sales revenue are recognised in the same month as their production is reported. Copper and silver is sold in accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore where the metal is received and sold immediately. Settlement is in the form of cash in the third month after the month of production. The price of the copper and silver will be determined by reference to the average monthly price for the second month after the month of production.

Gold sales and gold revenues are recognised when the metal is received and sold by Evolution. In accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore, bullion is delivered to Evolution’s metal account in the third month after the month of production.

AISC and AIC metrics for the 2017 financial year will be reported from the month of November 2016. Gold produced will be assumed to equal gold sold when calculating AISC and AIC until the fourth quarter of the 2017 financial year (the first full quarter of gold sales). Thereafter, the actual volume of gold sold in the respective quarters will be used to calculate AISC and AIC.

Production and development costs

For financial reporting (statutory) purposes, monthly production costs are allocated between copper concentrate and gold based on their relative market value. Production costs are expensed when the product is received and sold by Evolution.

For quarterly reporting purposes in the 2017 financial year, Evolution’s share of all cash production costs for Ernest Henry will be reported in the same quarter as the costs are incurred. In subsequent periods, amounts reported quarterly will be in line with the amount reported for statutory purposes.

Amortisation of prepayment

For accounting purposes, the A$880.0 million upfront payment for the Ernest Henry economic interest has been allocated to gold (A$384.0 million) and copper (A$496.0 million) concentrate and will be amortised in line with the sales profile of the gold and copper concentrate. Consistent with cash production costs, amortisation is expensed when the product is sold.

For the 2017 financial year, amortisation expense is expected to be 6.6% of the A$880.0 million (5.1% of gold and 7.8% of copper). In subsequent years it is expected that between 10.0 to 12.0% of the A$880.0 million will be amortised. The expected annual amortisation rate will be provided each year as a part of annual guidance.

For income tax purposes, Evolution has obtained an Australian Taxation Office (ATO) ruling to adopt a similar methodology as accounting for allocating and depleting the A$880.0 million upfront payment across the sales profile of the gold and copper concentrate.

APPENDIX 1 – ERNEST HENRY REPORTING

Cash Flow

Proceeds from sales are received in the third month after the month that production is reported.

In accordance with the Offtake Agreement with Glencore, Evolution pays its share of operating and development expenditures in the third month after the month of production.

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 both navigational and 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 1 m 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.

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
clearlyreferencedinthe 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
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,

calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
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 every20 samples. The frequencyof 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 and requests action when necessary.
Batches with 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

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

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.

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
230 m 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

In cases where ‘industry standard’

be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse

1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more

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 or
4m downhole intervals. Sampling was carried out according to
Evolution protocols and QAQC procedures which comply with
industry best practice. Most drill-hole collars were surveyed
using a total station theodolite or total GPS with a small
proportion utilising hand held 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 or 4m 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 1.3m. Surface
diamond drilling was half core sampled. All diamond core
samples
were
dried,
crushed
and
pulverised
(total

RC sampling was completed using a 4.5” to 5.5” diameter face

core was orientated and measured during processing and the

reconstructed into continuous runs on a cradle for orientation
marking. Holes depths were checked against the driller’s core

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%.

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.

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. Regular 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 75) 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%, and quarter core sampling of surface diamond drill
holes. 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 sampling preparation and assaying protocol used at
Mungari was developed to ensure the quality and suitability of
the assaying and laboratory procedures relative to the
mineralisation types.

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
checks are re-analysed.

Independent internal or external verification of significant
intercepts is not routinely completed. The quality control /

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 done as necessary for validation
purposes. Data which is inconsistent with the known geology
undergoes further verification to ensure its quality.

In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are
usually material and should be
stated.

Where
aggregate
intercepts
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.

Intercept length weighted average techniques, minimum grade
truncations and cut-off grades have been used in this report.

Composite lengths and grade as well as internal significant
values are reported in Appendix.

No metal equivalent values are used.
Relationship between

should be reported.

There is a direct relationship between the mineralisation widths
and intercept widths at Mungari.

The assay results are reported as down hole intervals however

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

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.

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.
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.

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.

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

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.

in Townsville was conducted in December 2016 by Cracow
personnel.

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.

The drilling of twin holes wasn’t common practice at Cracow.
Twin holes that have been drilled show the tenor of
mineralisation within the reportable domains were consistent
between twin holes.

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 intervals, restrictions on entered into certain
fields and restrictions on what actions can be performed in the
database based on the individual user. Data entry to_Datashed_
was undertaken through a combination of site specific electronic
data-entry sheets, synchronisation from_Logchief_and upload of

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.

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.
