OVERVIEW

Group total recordable injury frequency rate at quarter end was 6.3. In FY18 there is an ongoing focus on improving the safety culture within the business. Work was undertaken during the quarter to improve the quality of incident investigations.

Group gold production for the March 2018 quarter was 191,474 ounces (Dec qtr: 186,488oz) at a record low AISC of A$768/oz (Dec qtr: A$784/oz). Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7863, Group AISC equated to US$604/oz – ranking Evolution as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world. June 2018 quarter gold production is expected to be similar to the March 2018 quarter.

Evolution delivered operating mine cash flow of A$174.8 million. (Dec qtr: A$204.7M) and net mine cash flow, post all capital, of A$111.4 million (Sep qtr: A$134.2M). Group capital expenditure was A$63.4 million (Dec qtr: A$70.5M).

As at 31 March 2018, gross debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility D was A$395.0 million. Net bank debt was reduced by 19% to A$187.0 million. The Group cash balance increased by A$44.5 million to A$208.0 million (30 Dec 2017: A$163.5M).

Evolution successfully renewed the Company’s revolver and performance bond facilities through until July 2021 for A$350.0 million and A$175.0 million respectively. At the same time, the Company reprofiled the amortisation of the Senior Syndicated Term Facility. The expiry of this facility remains unchanged at October 2021. The next repayment is now not due until September 2018. The renewal of the debt facilities has resulted in a saving of approximately A$6.0 million over the term.

Standout operational performances for the quarter:

  • Ernest Henry: 22,839oz at an AISC of A$(510)/oz generating net mine cash flow of A$53.8M

  • Mt Rawdon: 30,625oz at an AISC of A$536/oz generating net mine cash flow of A$15.9M

Evolution has today released its Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement as at 31 December 2017. Gold Mineral Resources increased to 14.24Moz (Dec 2016: 14.18Moz). Gold Ore Reserves increased to 7.05Moz (Dec 2016: 6.99Moz) after accounting for mining depletion.

Cowal returned strong results from step out drilling at E41 West and the GRE46 Underground which continues to support growth opportunities at both target areas.

The Company advises that Mr. Vincent Benoit and Mr. Amr El Adawy have resigned as alternate

directors to Mr. Naguib Sawiris and Mr Sebastien de Montessus respectively. Mr. Andrew Wray has been appointed to act as their sole alternate director effective from today.

OPERATIONS

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal delivered another strong quarter producing 61,749oz of gold at an AISC of A$999/oz (Dec qtr: 62,286oz, AISC A$852/oz). For the second consecutive quarter a new mill record was set with throughput of 1,996kt (Dec 2017 qtr: 1,939kt). TRIFR reduced from 5.4 to 4.3.

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$43.4 million. Net mine cash flow of A$8.0 million was achieved (Dec qtr: A$34.1 million) post sustaining capital of A$11.9 million and major capital of A$23.5 million. Major capital was associated with the Stage H and Float Tails Leach projects. Capital expenditure will be higher in the June 2018 quarter as mining activity in Stage H is at full capacity and construction work on the Float Tails Leach project ramps up.

Mining activities in Stage G has transitioned to the 867mRL. Stage H material movement remains on plan.

Major construction works on the Float Tail Leach commenced in the March 2018 quarter. The project remains on schedule and on budget and is expected to increase recoveries by 4 – 6% once commissioned in the December 2018 half year.

Cowal is expected to deliver FY18 gold production at or above the top end of the 235,000 – 245,000 ounces guidance range.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 29,820oz of gold at an AISC of A$1,153/oz (December 2017 qtr: 28,156oz, AISC A$1,288/oz). TRIFR increased from 8.2 to 9.7.

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$19.0 million. Net mine cash flow improved to A$9.1 million (Dec qtr: A$2.4 million) post sustaining capital of A$1.2 million and major capital of A$8.8 million. The major capital investment related to the waste cutback of the White Foil open pit.

Cash flow is expected to increase in the June 2018 quarter as the White Foil open pit transitions from waste movement to predominantly ore movement.

Frog’s Leg Underground mine produced 96kt ore tonnes at a grade of 5.65g/t gold. Total development was 398m. White Foil open pit Stage 3 cutback progressed on plan and Stage 2X was completed by end of March quarter. Total material movement was 2.37Mt.

The process plant continued to perform well with 405kt of ore processed at an average grade of 2.40g/t gold. Recoveries improved to 95.2% (Dec 2017 qtr: 94.0%) with continued focus on the gravity circuit and improved leaching circuit controls. Plant utilisation of 96.6% was achieved.

FY18 AISC is expected to be at, or above, the top end of the A$990 – A$1,050/oz guidance range.

OPERATIONS

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Mt Carlton produced 25,850oz of payable gold contained in 16,111 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of gold concentrate and 6,560oz in gold doré (Dec qtr: 29,927oz, 17,541dmt and 6,123oz gold doré). Low costs continue to be achieved with an AISC of A$445/oz (Dec qtr: A$493/oz). TRIFR reduced from 8.3 to 4.1.

Operating cash flow of A$21.5 million and net mine cash flow of A$16.1 million (Dec qtr: A$33.7 million), was generated post sustaining and major capital of A$4.5 million.

Cash flow was negatively impacted by delayed shipments of concentrate due to timing of shipments around Chinese New Year and heavy rain restricting site access late in the quarter. Gold sold of 19,701oz and copper sold of 384t was significantly less than production (25,850oz Au, 618t Cu). Larger shipments will occur in the June 2018 quarter to catch up with production.

A total of 195,231 tonnes of V2 ore grading 5.23 g/t gold was treated. Processing plant recoveries were 90.9%.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon had a strong quarter producing 30,625oz of gold at an AISC of A$536/oz (Dec qtr: 21,418oz, AISC A$1,056/oz). TRIFR increased from 3.5 to 5.2.

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$18.6 million. Mt Rawdon delivered net mine cash flow of A$15.9 million (Sep qtr: A$3.8 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$2.7million.

Mining activities were focussed on sourcing ore from the lower northern and western benches of the open pit.

Total ore mined was 1,378kt at an average grade of 1.10g/t gold. The plant processed 796kt at an average head grade of 1.34g/t gold.

In the June 2018 quarter, ore will primarily be sourced from higher-grade zones of Stage 4 western and lower benches.

Production is expected to be more than 25,000 ounces in the June 2018 quarter however Mt Rawdon’s FY18 production will likely be below the guidance range of 105,000 – 115,000 ounces.

Mining was focused on the Stage 3b cutback and the new Southern ramp construction.

The gravity circuit produced 6,560oz of gold doré (Dec qtr: 6,123oz). Optimisation work on this circuit is ongoing.

The Underground / Stage 4 pit Feasibility Study continued during the quarter.

Mt Carlton is expected to deliver FY18 gold production above the top end of the 100,000 – 110,000 ounces guidance range while AISC is expected to be significantly below the bottom end of the A$680 – A$730/oz guidance range.

EXPLORATION

Exploration highlights

  • Cowal – Mineral Resource update incorporated full year drilling results and delivered an 816,000oz addition at Galway Regal E46 (GRE46) Underground and at E41 and GRE46 open pits. Work programs in FY19 will aim to further delineate extensions of these resources along strike and at depth. Definition drilling is also planned to confirm grade continuity and understand geologic controls on grade distribution to support further classification upgrades. Step out results at E41 West and the GRE46 Underground continue to reinforce growth opportunities across near-mine satellite targets

  • Mungari – full results were received for definition drilling at the White Foil Underground target with new data incorporated in the December 2017 Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves update. Development commenced to extend the Frog’s Leg decline with the aim of establishing an underground drilling position to test extensions of the Frog’s Leg vein structure well below the base of the deepest workings

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Drilling continued at Cowal with 16 holes completed for over 7,800m between E41 West and GRE46. Air core drilling commenced in February on the East Girral project located 15km west of E42. Eighty-two holes were completed (6,862m) targeting structurally controlled gold mineralisation. The remaining 33 holes will be completed in April with full results expected by the end of the June 2018 quarter.

E41 West

Diamond drilling targeted extensions along strike and down dip of mineralisation delineated in previous drilling. The results identified potential for a structurally controlled style of mineralisation which has the potential to enhance grades at E41 West.

A significant number of assays are still pending, however the best intersections received to date include:

  • 22m (8.4m etw) grading 1.1g/t Au from 176m and 19m (8.0m etw) grading 4.38g/t Au from 295m (E41D2811)

  • 55m (24.8m etw) grading 1.15g/t Au from 153m (E41D2810)

The next phase of work at E41 West will include both infill and step out drilling, updating the 3D structural and lithological models along with detailed ground gravity aimed at mapping the distribution of important geological elements believed to influence mineralisation.

Galway Regal E46 (GRE46)

Resource definition drilling through the GRE46 corridor continued through the March quarter targeting the southern extension of the Galway Regal resource. Assays have been received for three of the nine diamond holes completed. Best results include:

  • 50.0m (14.0m etw) grading 1.4g/t Au from 445m (1535DD322)

  • 40.0m (12.0m etw) grading 1.69g/t Au from 404m (1535DD322A) including 12.0m (3.6m etw) grading 3.44g/t Au from 432m

  • 29m (8.7m etw) grading 1.41g/t Au from 472m (1535DD322A) including 5.0m (1.5m etw) grading 4.67g/t from 478m

The current program will continue into the next quarter with a series of broadly spaced diamond holes through the area highlighted in Figure 3.

A series of close spaced diamond holes targeting part of the GRE46 Underground Mineral Resource commenced in March and will be continued through the coming months. The aim of this drilling is to understand the geological complexity of the deposit which will assist in developing estimation methodologies and mine plans.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Exploration

Over 27,000m of drilling was completed on 17 exploration targets across the Mungari land position.

New results from reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Perimeter prospect (50km northwest of the Mungari process plant) indicate the presence of an 800m long corridor hosting mineralisation in narrow sheeted and stockwork quartz veins. Best results included 12m at 3.83g/t Au from 159m (EVRC0329) and 11m at 2.32g/t Au from 90m (EVRC0328). Drilling will continue in the June 2018 quarter to delineate the full extent of mineralisation north, south and beneath existing drilling.

Infill drilling was completed at the Scottish Archer prospect targeting the lithological contact between the Bent Tree and Victorious basalt units. The results indicate the presence of a 2 – 6m wide zone of mineralisation. Follow-up drilling is planned to further test potential extensions at depth.

Aircore drilling was completed at Red Dam South targeting structure parallel with the nearby Red Dam deposit. Anomalous gold extends for over one kilometre and may represent an oxide gold resource opportunity. Additional drilling is planned for early in FY19.

Evolution elected not to complete the earn in on the Binduli JV with Intermin Resources. As such the management of the tenements reverts back to Intermin in April 2018.

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

The first phase of work was completed at the South Gawler project including a detailed gravity survey, geochemical analysis of >1,000 surface samples and new mapping to constrain distribution of ironstone occurrences considered to be most indicative of a potential iron-oxide copper-gold (IOCG) target. Based on results of the work, Evolution has determined there is insufficient evidence to support the presence of an IOCG target of adequate size in the selected area. Evolution will not be advancing the project and has elected to exit the joint venture with Menninnie Metals.

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 19 April 2018).

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$1,050/oz) and a copper price assumption of A$6,000 per tonne (US$4,680) to estimate Group Ore Reserves.

Gold Mineral Resources increased by 68,000 ounces to 14.24 million ounces after accounting for mining depletion of 842,000 ounces and divestment of 848,000 ounces at Edna May. The largest offset was due to resource extensions at Cowal of 1.04 million ounces. Copper Mineral Resources decreased 88,000 tonnes to 946,000 tonnes after accounting for mining depletion.

Gold Ore Reserves increased by 58,000 ounces to 7.05 million ounces after accounting for mining depletion of 842,000 ounces and divestment of 426,000 ounces at Edna May. Cracow and Mungari both replaced their mining depletion. A maiden Ore Reserve for Marsden has been included contributing 835,000 ounces. Copper Ore Reserves increased by 352,000 tonnes to 564,000 tonnes after accounting for mining depletion and the addition of 371,000 tonnes at Marsden (maiden Ore Reserve)

Further details are provided in Appendix 1 of this release.

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

of
fine/coarse
material.

Provisions are made in the drilling contract to ensure that hole
deviation is minimised, and core sample recovery is maximised. 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 very no apparent relationship between core-loss and grade.

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.

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.

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
grades, are submitted to an umpire assay laboratory (ALS Orange) to
check for repeatability and precision. Analysis of the data shows that

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

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

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

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
undertaken by site geologists and company technical groups from
North Ltd, Homestake, Barrick and Evolution. External audits were
conducted in 2003 by RMI and QCS Ltd. and in 2011 and 2014 review
and validation was conducted by RPA. MiningOne conducted a review
of the Cowal Database in 2016 as part of the peer review process for
the Stage H Feasibility Study. Recent audits have found no significant
issues with data management systems or dataquality.

The Cowal region has been subject to various exploration and drilling
programs by GeoPeko, North Ltd., Rio Tinto Ltd., Homestake and

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 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 theReflector Fault onthe easternside (the Gold Corridor).

The assumptions used for any reporting
of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.

Significant intercepts have nominally been calculated based on a
minimum interval length of 3m, max internal dilution of 5m and a
minimum grade of 0.4g/t Au. However, some intervals with sizable
Au grades may be reported individually if appropriate. Au Grades are
reported un-cut.
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 (e.g.
‘downhole length, true width not known’)

Mineralisation within the drilling area pit is bounded by large north-
south trending structures, however it has strong internally oblique
structural controls. Drill holes are typically oriented to optimise the
angle of intercept at the target location. All significant intercepts are
reported as down hole intervals.

In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been completed this would
be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse

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 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 using a static cone
splitter 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 1.2m. 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 surface were predominantly wireline NQ2
(50.5mm) or HQ (63.5mm) holes.

All diamond core from surface core was orientated using the reflex (act
II or ezi-ori) tool.

results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.

Whether
a

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.
Hole depths were checked against the driller’s core blocks.

Inconsistencies between the logging and the driller’s core depth
measurement blocks are investigated. Core recovery has been
acceptable. 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 core 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. 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.

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
2acids (HCIandHN03) before the gold contentis determined by an

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

performance of certified standard reference material is to examine for
any erroneous results (a result outside of the expected statistically

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 assay data

Mineralisation at White Foil is hosted within a brittle quartz gabbro unit.
The gold is associated with quartz stockworks. Structural studies
confirm 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 typically intersect at an angle to the mineralisation and
thereisno observed bias associatedwithdrilling 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.

Resource Definition and Exploration 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 to
testforalternate geological interpretations.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure
sample security.

Chain of custody protocols to ensure the security of samples are
followed. Prior to submission samples are retained on site and access
to the samples is 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
chainofcustody and sample security protocolshaveremained similar.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews
of sampling techniques and data.

The Mungari geology and drilling database was reviewed by acQuire in
December 2015 and no material issues were identified.

Oscillating cone splitters has been in use in the White Foil Pit for grade
control and has returned more consistent duplicate sample weights than
a standard static cone splitter. Trials in the exploration environment are
ongoing.

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 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.

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.

Measures taken to maximise

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.

All LTK60 and most NQ drill holes reported were whole core

half 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

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 2017 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

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

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

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

The Cracow Goldfields were discovered in 1932, with the
identification of mineralisation at Dawn followed by 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.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material
drillholes:
o easting and northing of the
drillhole collar
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
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

Drill hole information is provided in the Appendix Drill hole
information summary table.
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum
grade
truncations (eg 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, and minimum
grade truncations and cut-off grades have been used in this
report. Due to the nature of the drilling, some composite grades
are less than the current resource cut off of 2.8g/t, but remain
significant as they demonstrate mineralisation in veins not
previously modelled.

Composite, as well as internal significant values are stated for
clarity.

No metal equivalent values are used.

Cracow Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results Cracow Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results
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’)

The sampling technique confirms the presence of epithermal
quartz veining. There is a direct relationship between the
mineralisation widths and intercept widths at Cracow.

The assays are reported as down hole intervals and an estimated
true width is provided.
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
Schematic sections are provided below. Reported resource
definition results are not considered exploration results.
Plan view of Killarney
Plan view of Baz and Crown
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable, representative reporting
of both low and high grades and/or
widths should be practiced to avoid
misleading reporting of Exploration
Results

Assay results reported are of specific regions within the drill hole
identified by epithermal quartz veining.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological
observations;
geophysical
survey
results; geochemical survey results;
bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results;
bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

ASD data collected from drill chips and drill core indicated that the
dominate clay species recorded graded from Kaolonite close to
surface, to Illite smectite, then illite at depth. This was interpreted
along with the anomalous arsenic and molybdenite geochemistry,
as indicative of the upper levels of an epithermal system,
increasing prospectivity at depth.
