KEY CONTRACT AWARDED FOR MUNGARI FUTURE GROWTH PROJECT

Evolution Mining Limited (ASX: EVN) today announced it has awarded a contract to GR Engineering Services Limited (ASX: GNG) (GR Engineering) to complete the plant expansion works at Mungari.

These works are expected to total $155 million and are within the project budget and schedule as part of the Company’s previously announced commitment to invest $250 million to increase the site’s processing capacity from 2 million tonnes per annum to 4.2 million tonnes per annum.

Planning is well progressed, including initial engineering design and procurement works have commenced. Site works are expected to commence in mid-January 2024. The project has an estimated 30-month construction period including long-lead items and approvals, with commissioning expected by the end of the March 2026 quarter.

Targeting gold production of 200,000 ounces per annum for the life of the mine, this project is expected to reduce Mungari’s All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC)[1] by 18% to $1,750 per ounce and extend the mine life to 2038.

Commenting on the award, Evolution Mining’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Lawrie Conway said:

“The award of this contract is a major milestone for the Mungari Future Growth Project. It secures the critical processing plant infrastructure within our budgeted costs, locking in over 60% of the project costs, and secures a delivery time within the approved project schedule. The Feasibility Study established a sound investment case with an internal rate of return for the project of between 19% and 28%, at a conservative A$2,400 per ounce and spot price of A$2,965 per ounce respectively.”

This release has been approved by Evolution Mining Executive Chair, Jake Klein.
