Forward looking statement

  • These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or “the Company”) include forward looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.

  • Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.

  • Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control.

  • Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

  • All US dollar values in this presentation are calculated using the average AUD:USD dollar exchange rate for the December 2016 half-year of US$0.75 unless otherwise stated

  • (1) This information is extracted from the report entitled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve Statement” released by Evolution to ASX on 21 April 2016 and is available to view on www.asx.com.au. Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are depleted to December 2015. This Information is currently being updated and will be released in the Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement for December 2016

  • (2) This information is extracted from the report entitled “FY16 Preliminary Results, FY17 Guidance and FY19 Outlook” released by Evolution to ASX on 28 June 2016 and is available to view on www.asx.com.au.

  • (4) Assumes average commodity prices over the relevant periods, average commodity pricing and transaction terms applied retrospectively

  • (5) Evolution has not acquired a direct interest in the underlying assets or production of the Ernest Henry mine. Under the transaction documents, Evolution acquired a proportion of the actual future production of the Ernest Henry mine. To the extent that the actual future production of the Ernest Henry mine is less than expected, Evolution has no entitlement to receive a prescribed quantity of payable metals

Material Assumptions

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

Silver A$20/oz

Copper[3] A$6,000/t (A$2.72/lb) Diesel A$90/bbl. (Gasoil 10ppm FOB Singapore)

Competent Persons Statement

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

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Inferred Mineral Resources

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

Cautionary statement concerning the proportion of Exploration Target

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

The potential quantity and grade of an exploration target is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to determine a Mineral Resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised

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

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

  • (1) Assumes attributable production from Ernest Henry from 1 November 2016

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

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

Cowal mine life extended to 2032

==> picture [76 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mine life extension projects approved:

  • E42 Stage H Cutback – additional Life of Mine (LOM) gold production of 1.2Moz

  • Dual Leach Project to increase recoveries by 4 – 6%

  • 31 December 2016 Ore Reserves increased from 2.85Moz to 3.20Moz

  • Ore Reserves increased by 2.28Moz[1 ] or 145% prior to mining depletion since asset acquired in July 2015

  • Stage H reserve conversion cost of less than A$15 per ounce

  • Further upside opportunities:

  • Co-treatment of high-grade oxide stockpiles

  • Potential to increase throughput to 9.0 – 9.5Mtpa

  • Continued drilling to convert significant mineral endowment outside of existing reserves: E46, E41, Galway and Regal deposits

  • This information is extracted from the ASX release entitled “Evolution Approves Projects to Secure Cowal Production to 2032” released to the ASX on 16 February 2017
