OVERVIEW

Group gold production for the December 2017 quarter was 186,488 ounces (Sep qtr: 220,971oz which included Edna May) at a record low AISC of A$784/oz (Sep qtr: A$786/oz). Using the average AUD:USD exchange rate for the quarter of 0.7684, Group AISC equated to US$602/oz – ranking Evolution as one of the lowest cost gold producers in the world.

Evolution delivered operating mine cash flow of A$204.7 million (Sep qtr: A$210.4M) and net mine cash flow, post all capital, of A$134.2 million (Sep qtr: A$158.3M). As planned, total Group capital expenditure increased to A$70.5 million (Sep qtr: A$52.0M).

As at 31 December 2017, gross debt outstanding under the Senior Secured Syndicated Term Facility D was A$395.0 million. Net bank debt was reduced to A$231.5 million. The Group cash balance increased by A$113.4 million to A$163.5 million (30 Sep 2017: A$50.1M).

Standout operational performances for the quarter:

  • Cowal: 62,286oz at an AISC of A$852/oz generating net mine cash flow of A$34.1M

  • Mt Carlton: 29,927oz at a low AISC of A$493/oz producing net mine cash flow of A$33.7M

  • Ernest Henry: 24,486oz at a record low AISC of A$(627)/oz producing a record net mine cash flow of A$55.1M

Discovery and resource definition drilling:

  • Cowal: E41 West drilling continued to expand the new zone of gold mineralisation and returned positive indicators for porphyry copper-gold potential

  • Mungari: Resource expansion and infill drilling approximately 50% complete at White Foil. Results received to date are in line with expectations

  • Cracow: resource definition drilling achieving impressive results confirming continuity of highgrade at Imperial, Baz and Denmead

Group total recordable injury frequency rate at quarter end reduced to 6.2 and the lost time injury frequency rate reduced to 0.4. The focus in FY18 is on improving the safety culture within the business. A major risk reduction project is underway to implement critical control plans for the top ten principal hazards.

March 2018 quarter gold production is expected to be similar to the December 2017 quarter.

OPERATIONS

Cowal, New South Wales (100%)

Cowal delivered another strong quarter producing 62,286oz of gold at an AISC of A$852/oz (Sep qtr: 70,140oz, AISC A$712/oz). New mill records were set for quarterly (1,939,365t) and half-yearly (3,806,723t) throughput.

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$60.4 million. Net mine cash flow of A$34.1 million was achieved (Sep qtr: A$53.2 million) post sustaining capital of A$8.3 million and major capital of A$18.0 million associated with the Stage H and Float Tails projects. Capital expenditure will remain elevated in the coming quarters, however it is anticipated that total capital expenditure for the year will be at the lower end of original FY18 guidance of A$52.5 – A$57.5M in sustaining capital and A$85.0 – A$100.0M in major project capital.

Mining activities in Stage G are transitioning from the 876mRL to the 867mRL as planned. All prework required to facilitate the Stage H cutback are complete and full-scale mining activity has now ramped up.

An engineering design review was completed for the Float Tails Leach project and bulk earth works commenced. Major construction works are expected to start 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.

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Mungari produced 28,156oz of gold at an AISC of A$1,288/oz (September 2017 qtr: 30,353oz, AISC A$1,059/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$17.5 million. Net mine cash flow of A$2.4 million was achieved (Sept qtr: A$8.9 million) post sustaining capital of A$4.3 million and major capital of A$10.8 million. This elevated level of major capital was predominantly related to the waste cutback of the White Foil open pit.

Cash flow is expected to increase in the June 2018 half year due to higher production and lower capital expenditure compared to the December 2017 half year.

Frog’s Leg underground mine produced 109kt ore tonnes at a grade of 5.88g/t gold. Total development of 390m was impacted by heading availability and rehabilitation operations. Ore production was in line with plan. White Foil commenced mining Stage 3 cutback and Stage 2X. Total material movement was 2.53Mt.

The process plant continued to perform well with 405kt of ore processed at an average grade of 2.30g/t gold. Recoveries improved to 94.0% in part due to a continued focus on the gravity circuit. Plant utilisation of 92.2% was impacted by weather and power interruptions. A full mill reline was completed on schedule in October.

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

OPERATIONS

Mt Carlton, Queensland (100%)

Mt Carlton produced 29,927oz of payable gold contained in 17,541 dry metric tonnes (dmt) of gold concentrate and 6,123oz in gold doré (Sep qtr: 29,994oz, 25,979dmt and 4,015oz gold doré). Low costs continue to be achieved with an AISC of A$493/oz (Sep qtr: A$429/oz).

Exceptional cash generation was delivered with quarterly mine operating cash flow of A$41.6 million and net mine cash flow of A$33.7 million (Sep qtr: A$23.8 million), post sustaining and major capital of A$7.9 million.

A total of 202,263 tonnes of V2 ore grading 5.86g/t gold was treated. Processing plant recoveries continue to improve achieving 91.4% (Sep qtr: 91.2%). Ongoing optimisation of the plant is expected to further increase recoveries.

The ore mined grade was 13.2g/t gold for the December quarter as the western zone high-grade ore continued to deliver strong positive reconciliation.

The gravity circuit produced a record 6,123oz of gold (Sep qtr: 4,015oz). Doré production is expected to increase further in the March 2018 quarter as successful ongoing optimisation work resulted in a monthly production record of 2,216oz in December. Payback of the ~A$4 million gravity circuit project capital is planned to be achieved in the March 2018 quarter, less than 12 months from when the project was commissioned in May 2017.

Work continued on the Underground/Stage 4 pit Definitive Feasibility Study. The resource definition drilling program was completed in December with the updated Mineral Resource estimation model currently underway.

Mt Rawdon, Queensland (100%)

Mt Rawdon produced 21,418oz of gold in the December quarter at an AISC of A$1,056/oz (Sep qtr: 21,766oz, AISC A$1,083/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$10.8 million. Mt Rawdon delivered net mine cash flow of A$3.8 million (Sep qtr: A$7.5 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$7.0 million.

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

Total ore mined was 894kt at an average grade of 0.96g/t gold. The plant processed 771kt at an average head grade of 0.98g/t gold.

Production was below plan predominately due to an extreme weather event in October and a ball mill motor failure in December which resulted in an eight-day unplanned shutdown of the plant.

Drilling results received from the previous quarter identified targets immediately west and north of the current pit and are currently being incorporated into the upcoming Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate. This drilling was aimed at the conversion of unclassified mineral inventory into Inferred or Indicated Mineral Resources.

The March 2018 quarter will continue to focus on western waste development with a view to exposing ore sources from these upper benches. Ore will primarily be sourced from high-grade zones of Stage 4 western and northern lower benches.

Production is expected to be in excess of 25,000 ounces in each of the coming two quarters however Mt Rawdon’s FY18 production will likely be below the guidance range of 105,000 – 115,000 ounces.

Mt Carlton is expected to deliver FY18 gold production at or above the top end of the 100,000 – 110,000 ounces guidance range.

OPERATIONS

Cracow, Queensland (100%)

Cracow produced 20,215oz of gold at an AISC of A$1,237/oz (Sep qtr: 23,398oz, AISC A$1,056/oz).

Mine operating cash flow for the quarter was A$12.9 million. Cracow delivered net mine cash flow of A$5.0 million (Sep qtr: A$11.9 million), post sustaining capital and major capital of A$7.8 million.

Safety continues to be a key focus with the operation passing 1,600 days without a lost time injury during the quarter.

A total of 131kt of ore was mined at an average grade of 4.96 g/t gold. Primary ore sources were the Kilkenny and Empire ore bodies. Grades are expected to increase in the March 2018 quarter with the commencement of production from the Coronation ore body as well as Kilkenny and Empire stopes.

Ore processed was 128kt at an average grade of 5.22g/t gold. Gold recovery was 94.1%.

The success of the resource definition and exploration drill programs in 2017 has resulted in a high level of confidence in delivering mine life extensions.

Ernest Henry, Queensland

(Economic interest; 100% gold and 30% copper production)[1]

Evolution’s interest in Ernest Henry delivered 24,486oz of gold and 5,441t of copper (Sep qtr: 23,682oz and 5,331t of copper) at a record low AISC of A$(627)/oz (Sep qtr: A$(614)/oz).

The cost performance continues to be exceptional with a C1 cash cost of A$(1,053)/oz after accounting for copper and silver by-product credits (Sep qtr A$(855)/oz). Cash operating costs (C1) were comprised of A$1,093/oz and by-product credits of A$(2,145)/oz.

Copper sales in the quarter were 5,441t at an average copper price of A$9,612/t.

Operating mine cash flow was A$61.5 million representing revenue from gold (A$40.0 million) and by-product sales of copper (A$52.3 million) and silver (A$0.2 million) that were produced during the quarter net of Evolution’s contribution to operating costs of A$31.0 million. Ernest Henry generated a record net mine cash flow for Evolution of A$55.1 million, post sustaining capital of A$6.4 million.

Ore mined was 1,736kt at an average grade of 0.56g/t gold and 1.12% copper. Underground development was 1,943m. Ore processed was 1,743kt at an average grade of 0.56g/t gold and 1.12% copper. Gold recovery of 81.5% and copper recovery of 96.6% was achieved with mill utilisation at 89.6%.

Ernest Henry is expected to deliver FY18 gold production at or above the top end to the 85,000 – 90,000 ounces guidance range.

FINANCIALS

Evolution continued to generate strong operating and net mine cash flow of A$204.7 million and A$134.2 million respectively during the December quarter driven by record low operating (C1) and All-in Sustaining unit costs. All sites were cash flow positive after meeting all operating and capital commitments.

Evolution sold 188,546oz of gold at an average gold price of A$1,640/oz (Sep qtr excluding Edna May: 199,332 at A$1,602/oz). Deliveries into the hedge book totalled 45,418oz at an average price of A$1,554/oz with the remaining 143,128oz of gold delivered on spot markets at an average price of A$1,668/oz.

Evolution’s operating mine cash flow of A$204.7 million was essentially in line with the September 2017 quarter cash flow excluding Edna May.

Net mine cash flow of A$134.2 million was achieved after a total of A$70.5 million of capital was invested, split between A$27.8 million in sustaining capital and A$42.7 million in major project capital.

Ernest Henry delivered a record net mine cash flow for the quarter of A$55.1 million. FY18 year-to-date cash flow from Ernest Henry is A$107.4 million. Cowal achieved net mine cash flow of A$34.1 million, after investing a total of A$26.3 million of capital during the quarter. Mt Carlton generated net mine cash flow of A$33.7 million.

EXPLORATION

Exploration highlights

  • Cowal: step out drilling at E41 West returned further positive assay results expanding the new zone of gold mineralisation southward and at depth. Evidence of porphyry copper-gold style mineralisation was encountered in two of the holes drilled during the quarter. Further work will focus on delineating the full extent of gold-only style mineralisation and in understanding the potential for nearby porphyry coppergold mineralisation

  • Mungari: the first phase of resource definition drilling at the north end of the White Foil pit was nearing completion at the end of the December 2017 quarter. Results from the first seven holes have been in line with expectations. A decision to move to a second phase of closer-spaced drilling will be determined when the full results from the program have been received

  • Cracow: resource definition drilling programs continued to deliver results that confirmed continuity of grades along the Coronation-Imperial-Empire trend. The best results received last quarter were delivered from the Imperial ore body which returned 46.2g/t Au over 8.3m (6.9m etw) in hole IMU065 and 25.9g/t Au over 9.8m (9.44m etw) in hole IMU074

Resource definition drilling

E41 West

Additional diamond drilling following up previous solid results at E41 West continued through the December quarter. Drill holes E41D2803 – E441D2805 have extended mineralisation below and to the south of the current resource.

Best intersections included[1,2] :

  • 21m grading 2.19g/t Au from 173m and 88m grading 0.72g/t Au from 448m (E41D2804)

EXPLORATION

In addition to intersecting significant gold, two holes encountered veins typically associated with porphyry copper-gold style mineralisation over intervals of 10 – 20 metres.

Best intersections included:

  • 12.0m grading 0.24 g/t Au and 0.3% Cu from 81.0m (E41D2803)

  • 21.0m grading 0.25 g/t Au and 0.38% Cu from 84.0m (E41D2805)

The next phase of drilling has commenced to evaluate the significance of the porphyry style mineralisation along with understanding the full gold potential at E41 West. An indication of that potential is manifest in Evolution’s Marsden copper-gold porphyry deposit located approximately 20km southeast of Cowal with a currently reported Mineral Resource estimate[1] .

Galway Regal E46 (GRE46)

Geological modelling to understand controls on high-grade mineralisation through the Galway Regal – E46 corridor was completed. An ongoing diamond drill program has commenced to test the concepts developed from the modelling. Results from the first of these diamond holes have been returned. Best intercepts included:

  • 7.0m grading 4.04g/t Au from 367m (1535DD320)

  • 27.0m grading 1.17g/t Au from 432m (1535DD320)

The positive results and updated geological model coupled with previous drilling is expected to yield a maiden Underground Mineral Resource.

EXPLORATION

Mungari, Western Australia (100%)

Exploration

Approximately 33,500m of drilling was completed across 13 early stage exploration targets throughout the lease holding.

Early stage targets are being developed and tested with aircore drilling programs over large areas which are delivering new anomalies requiring follow-up bedrock testing.

Infill drilling was completed at Lady Agnes with results being below expectation. A parallel zone of mineralisation was intersected on the contact between the Bent Tree and Victorious basalt units. This zone represents a new opportunity that will be followed up through the March 2018 quarter.

Additional drilling was completed through the Frog’s Leg South – Innis – Smithfield corridor and has identified a wide zone of shearing and alteration that will be followed up with both infill and extension drill programs.

Figure 3: Location map of Mungari regional projects and drilling targets

Lady Agnes

Eight reverse circulation (RC) holes and one diamond wedge hole were drilled at Lady Agnes with results effectively closing the system to the northwest. Mineralisation at Lady Agnes has a confirmed strike length of 200m and is open at depth. Modelling has commenced to complete an economic assessment of the project.

Additional targets proximal to Lady Agnes named Scottish Archer and Black Agnes were tested by single RC drill holes. Scottish Archer returned 2m at 8.69g/t Au from 130m (EVRC0248). Black Agnes returned 1m at 7.15 g/t Au from 142m and 2m at 6.04 g/t Au from 147m (EVRC0193). Further drilling is planned to test these targets in the March 2018 quarter.

The results indicate the presence of multiple mineralised structures in the Greater Lady Agnes area which require further assessment and follow up.

EXPLORATION

Innis South, Smithfield and Apex

Further drilling was completed at the Smithfield and Apex prospects targeting narrow high grade “Raleigh-style” vein mineralisation. Drilling intercepted a wide zone of shearing and alteration proximal to the contact of dolerite and sediment, analogous to alteration and stratigraphy observed proximal to the Strzelecki deposit 10km to the north. Quartz veins were encountered in all holes and low grade anomalous gold values were intersected. Additional RC and aircore drilling is planned for the next quarter to test the trend further to the south and infill proximal to zones of favourable alteration.

Results from the Innis South prospect diamond drilling reported last quarter yielded no significant assays. No further work is currently planned at this target.

Resource defintion drilling

During the quarter 15,015m of drilling was completed across four projects. The largest program was completed at White Foil (12,527m), with additional drilling undertaken at Frog’s Leg (1,042m), Premier (604m) and Emu (842m) prospects.

Near mine drilling

White Foil

Infill drilling completed in the December quarter was designed to define the new zones of mineralisation to a 40m x 40m pattern or less to deliver an Inferred Mineral Resource. Thirty drill holes for 2,436m RC and 10,091m diamond drilling were completed and assay results for seven holes have been received. Best results included:

  • 11.34m (9m etw) grading 8.54g/t from 365m including 0.73m (0.6m etw) grading 107g/t (WFRD078)

  • 50.8m (46m etw) grading 1.87g/t from 309m and 19.1m (16.5m etw) grading 3.34g/t from 365.9m (WFRD077)

  • 15.72m (10m etw) grading 3.64g/t from 488.6m (WFRD065)

Full results from the program will be assessed in the March 2018 quarter to determine next steps.

Resource definition drilling

Revised lithological and structural modelling of the Mt Rawdon orebody was utilised to target a seven hole (2,898m) extension program designed to test higher grade mineralisation immediately west and north-west of the current pit. Results confirmed the presence of mineralised intervals extending beyond the resource shell. Further work will be conducted to fully assess the opportunity to expand the Mineral Resource.

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

An eight hole RC drilling program designed to test the scale and continuity of high grade, shear hosted, copper mineralisation along the Goanna / Gecko corridor was completed in December. Assay results are expected in January, however visual inspection of RC drill chips indicate that while the structure is continuous, mineralisation is variable and further work is required to fully evaluate the resource potential.

Activity and subsequent expenditure through December has resulted in the total Stage 1 earn-in spend reaching A$15 million. This milestone satisfies the Stage 1 earn-in condition and provides Evolution with the option of vesting a 65% interest in the Tennant Creek project.

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

Interpretation of data from a recent gravity survey over several iron-rich vein and breccia systems in the central part of Menninnie Metals’ South Gawler tenements indicates a low probability for a large subsurface ironstone occurrence there. Further analysis of the gravity data and an integrated magnetic / gravity inversion model is in progress. This will be combined with results from a regional geochemical program to optimise drilling in the area to refine the exploration model and contribute to the ranking of other iron-rich prospects.

Cowal Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

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

Holes in this report consist of conventional diamond core drilling.

Drill holes were positioned strategically to infill gaps in the existing drill
data set and test continuity of known lodes/mineralised structures.
Collar and down hole surveys were utilised to accurately record final
locations. Industry standard sampling, assaying and QA/QC practices
were applied to all holes.

Drill core was halved with a diamond saw in 1 m intervals, irrespective
of geological contacts. Oxide material that was too soft and friable to
be cut with a diamond saw was split with a chisel. Core was cut to
preserve the bottom of hole orientation mark and the top half of core
sent for analysis to ensure no bias is introduced. RC samples were
collected directly from a splitter at the drill rig.

Sample preparation was conducted by SGS West Wyalong and
consisted of:

Drying in the oven at 105ºC; crushing in a jaw crusher; fine crushing
in a Boyd crusher to 2-3mm; rotary splitting a 3kg assay sub-sample
if the sample is too large for the LM5 mill; pulverising in the LM5 mill
to nominal; 90% passing 75 µm; and a 50g fire assay charge was
taken with an atomic absorption (AA) finish. The detection limit was
0.01 g/t Au.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).

Diamond drill holes were drilled HQ diameter through the clay/oxide
and NQ diameter through the primary rock to end of hole.

All core has been oriented using accepted industry techniques.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery
and
ensure
representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and whether
sample bias may have occurred due to
preferential
loss/gain
of
fine/coarse
material.

Provisions are made in the drilling contract to ensure that hole
deviation is minimised, and core sample recovery is maximised. 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.

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

Geologists log core for lithology, alteration, structure, and veining.
Logging was done directly onto laptop computers via LogChief
software which is validated and uploaded directly into the Datashed
database.

The Cowal logging system allows recording of both a primary and a
secondary lithology and alteration. Geologists also record the colour,
texture, grain size, sorting, rounding, fabric, and fabric intensity
characterising each lithological interval.

The logged structures include faults, shears, breccias, major veins,
lithological contacts, and intrusive contacts. Structures are also
recorded as point data to accommodate orientation measurements.

Structural measurements are obtained using a core orientation
device. Core is rotated into its original orientation, using the Gyro
survey data as a guide. Freiberg compasses are used for structural
measurements.

Geologists log vein data including vein frequency, vein percentage of
interval, vein type, composition, sulphide percentage per metre,
visible gold, sulphide type, and comments relative to each metre
logged.

Geotechnical logging is done by field technicians and geologists.
Logging is on a per metre basis and includes percentage core
recovery, percentage RQD, fracture count, and an estimate of
hardness. The geotechnical data is entered into the database.

All drill core, once logged, is digitally photographed on a core tray-by-
tray basis. The digital image captures all metre marks, the orientation
line (BOH) and geologist’s lithology, alteration, mineralogy, and other
pertinent demarcations. The geologists highlight geologically
significant features such that they can be clearly referenced in the
digital images.
Sub-sampling

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.

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.

of

SGS West Wyalong and ALS Orange are utilised as primary sources
of analytical information. Round robin checks are completed regulary
between the two laboratories. Both labs operate to international
standards and procedures and take part in the Geostatistical Round
Robin inter-laboratory test survey. The Cowal QA/QC program
comprises blanks, Certified Reference Material (CRM), inter-
laboratory duplicate checks, and grind checks.

1 in 30 fine crush residue samples has an assay duplicate. 1 in 20
pulp residue samples has an assay duplicate.

Wet screen grind checks are performed on 1 in 20 pulp residue
samples. A blank is submitted 1 in every 38 samples, CRM’s are
submitted 1 in every 20 samples. The frequency of repeat assays is
set at 1 in 30 samples.

All sample numbers, including standards and duplicates, are pre-
assigned by a QA/QC Administrator and given to the sampler on a
sample sheet. The QA/QC Administrator monitors the assay results

for non-compliance 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
grades, are submitted to an umpire assay laboratory (ALS Orange) to
check for repeatability and precision. Analysis of the data shows that
the Principal Laboratory is performing to an acceptable level.
Verification of

Discuss any adjustment to assay data

No dedicated twinning drilling has been conducted for this drill
program.

Cowal uses DataShed software system to maintain the database.
Digital assay results are loaded directly into the database. The
software performs verification checks including checking for missing
sample numbers, matching sample numbers, changes in sampling
codes, inconsistent “from-to” entries, and missing fields. Results are
not entered into the database until the QA/QC Administrator approves
of the results. A QA/QC report is completed for each drill hole and filed
with the log, assay sheet, and other appropriate data. Only the Senior
Project Geologist and Database Manager have administrator rights to
the database. Others can use and sort the database but not save or
delete data.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drillholes (collar and downhole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

All drill hole collars were surveyed using high definition DGPS. All drill
holes were surveyed using a downhole survey camera. The first
survey reading was taken near the collar to determine accurate set up
and then at regular intervals downhole.

On completion of each angled drill hole, a down hole gyroscopic
(Gyro) survey was conducted. The Gyro tool was referenced to the
accurate surface surveyed position of each hole collar.

The Gyro results were entered into the drill hole database without
conversion or smoothing.

An aerial survey was flown during 2003 by AAM Hatch. This digital
data has been combined with surveyed drill hole collar positions and
other features (tracks, lake shoreline) to create a digital terrain model
(DTM). The survey was last updated in late 2014.

In 2004, Cowal implemented a new mine grid system with the
assistance of AAM Hatch. The current mine grid system covers all
areas within the ML and ELs at Cowal with six digits.

The exploration drillholes reported in this report are targeted to test for
continuity of mineralisation as interpreted from previous drilling. It is
not yet known whether this drilling is testing the full extent of the
mineralised geological zones. All drilling is sampled at 1 m intervals
down hole.
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

Diamond holes were positioned to optimise intersection angles of the
target area. In respect of the drilling at E41W drilling is targeted to drill
at right angles to the dominant vein direction however the extent of
the vein package is currently unknown.

The Drilling at Galway Regal is oriented perpendicular to the known
mineralised package.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

Drill contractors are issued with drill instructions by an Evolution
geologist. The sheet provides drill hole names, details, sample
requirements, and depths for each drill hole. Drill hole sample bags
are pre-numbered. The drill holes are sampled by Evolution personnel
who prepare sample submission sheets. The submission sheet is then
emailed to the laboratory with a unique submission number assigned.
This then allows individual drill holes to be tracked.

An SGS West Wyalong (SGS) representative collects the samples
from site twice daily, however, if samples are being sent to another
laboratory a local freight company is used to collect the samples from
site and deliver them to the laboratory. Upon arrival, the laboratory
sorts each crate and compares the received samples with the supplied
submission sheet. The laboratory assigns a unique batch number and
dispatches a reconciliation sheet for each submission via email. The
reconciliation sheet is checked, and any issues addressed. The new
batch name and dispatch information is entered into the tracking
sheet. The laboratory processes each batch separately and tracks all
samples through the laboratory utilising the LIMS system. Upon
completion, the laboratory emails Standard Industry Format (SIF) files
with the results for each batch to Evolution personnel.

The assay batch files are checked against the tracking spreadsheet
and processed. The drill plan is marked off showing completed drill
holes. Any sample or QA/QC issues with the results are tracked and
resolved with the laboratory.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

QA/QC Audits of the Primary SGS West Wyalong Laboratory are
carried out on an approximately quarterly basis and for the Umpire
ASL Orange Laboratory approximately on a six-monthly basis. Any
issues are noted and agreed remedial actions assigned and dated for
completion.

Numerous internal audits of the database and systems have been
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

The Cowal region has been subject to various exploration and drilling
programs by GeoPeko, North Ltd., Rio Tinto Ltd., Homestake and
Barrick.
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 the Reflector Fault on the eastern side (the Gold Corridor).

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.

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

All drill samples were logged prior to sampling. Diamond drill core was
sampled to lithological, alteration and mineralisation related contacts,
whilst RC samples were collected at 1m downhole intervals. Sampling
was carried out according to Evolution protocols and QAQC procedures
which comply with industry best practice. All drill-hole collars were
surveyed using a total station theodolite or total GPS.

The sampling and assaying methods are appropriate for the orogenic
mineralised system and are representative for the mineralisation style.
The sampling and assaying suitability was validated using Evolution’s
QAQC protocol and no instruments or tools requiring calibration were
used as part of the sampling process.

RC drilling was sampled to obtain 1m samples 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.

(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-

is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc.).

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

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

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.

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. A proportion
of underground diamond core holes were half core sampled and the
remaining core retained for further geological or metallurgical analysis.

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

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

for effective sample representation for gold deposits within the Eastern

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.

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

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.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data

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 permanentlyinthe database. Historicalpaper records (where

All surface drill holes at Mungari have been surveyed for easting,
northing and reduced level. Recent data is collected and stored in MGA
94 Zone 51 and AHD.

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

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

Topographic control was generated from aerial surveys and detailed
Lidar surveys to 0.2m accuracy. Underground void measurements are
computed using Cavity Monitoring System (CMS) of the stopes and

The nominal drill spacing for Exploration drilling is 80m x 80m or wider
and for Resource Definition is 40m x 40m or in some areas 20m x 20m.
This spacing includes data that has been verified from previous
exploration activities on the project.

Data spacing and distribution is considered sufficient for establishing
geological continuity and grade variability appropriate for classifying a

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

The relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures at Mungari is not considered to have
introduced a sampling bias and is not considered to be material.

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.

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

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

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

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

The Smithfield and Apex prospects are located in the southern portion
of the Mungari tenements, to the south of Frogs Leg. The geology
comprises Black Flag Group clastic rocks, basalts and andesites
intruded by dolerite dykes. The mineralisation is associated with the
Strzelecki Shear and is hosted by steep laminated quartz veins.

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 30g
charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent
sampling
problems.
Unusual
commodities
or
mineralisation
types (eg submarine nodules)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cracow Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Cracow Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria Explanation Commentary

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.
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.

All drill holes reported were whole core sampled.

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

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

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

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

levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias)
and precision have been established.

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

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

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

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

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

An inspection of both the prep lab in Brisbane and the assay lab
in Townsville was conducted in December 2017 by Cracow
personnel.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent
or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data,
data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical
and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay
data

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
.csv files.

No adjustments are made to the finalised assay data received
from the laboratory.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys
used to locate drillholes (collar and
downhole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system
used.

Quality
and
adequacy
of
topographic control.

Underground drill-hole positions were determined by traversing,
using Leica TS15 Viva survey instrument (theodolite) in the local
Klondyke mine grid.

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

The mine co-ordinate system at Cracow is named the Klondyke
Mine Grid, which transforms to MGA94 Grid and was created and
maintained by onsite registered surveyors.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish
the degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource
and
Ore
Reserve
estimation
procedure(s)
and
classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has
been applied.

No significant drill hole exploration results are being reported.

Sample spacing and distribution was deemed sufficient for
resource estimation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

The 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.

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.
