FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

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

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

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

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

Non-IFRS Financial Information

The Company results are reported under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This presentation also includes non-IFRS information including EBITDA and Underlying Profit. The non-IFRS information has not been subject to audit or review by the Company's external auditor and should be used in addition to IFRS information.

All amounts are expressed in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise.

ERNEST HENRY – SIGNIFICANT GROWTH POTENTIAL

  • Significant increase in Mineral Resources achieved at a discovery cost of \$5 per ounce gold equivalent1
  • Mineral Resource updated as at December 20222
  • ̶ 36% increase in contained copper to 1.2 million tonnes
  • ̶ 37% increase in contained gold to 2.3 million ounces
  • Further drilling intersecting significant mineralisation widths below and within the Mine Extension Pre-Feasibility (PFS) footprint
  • ̶ Significant growth targets exist beyond the currently modelled resource domains – down plunge of the Main Lens ore body at depth and between the Main Lens and Ernie Junior
  • ̶ Recent underground drilling confirms continuity of mineralised widths outside the Mineral Resource outlines
  • PFS extended to June Quarter 2023 to incorporate new drilling, updated block model and larger mine footprint in defining optimal location of infrastructure

  1. Includes stockpiles

  2. Ore Reserve has been updated for E42 Stage H Open Pit in line with 2022 corporate commodity price assumptions, updated modifying factors and allowing for depletion. All remaining 'Open Pit Continuation' Ore Reserves (OPC) are declared as per December 2021 Cowal Open Pit Ore Reserves. The OPC Ore Reserve will be updated at the completion of the OPC Feasibility Study ('FS'). Modifying factors to be updated during the FS include Mineral Resource, geotechnical, metallurgical, revenue and cost assumptions. To date, no fatal flaws have been identified during the FS. A materiality test was conducted on the impact of the change between the December 2021 and December 2022 Mineral Resource model on the OPC Ore Reserve, the change is expected to be less than 10%

3.Cowal Underground Ore Reserve has been optimised using a \$1,600/oz price assumption, economically tested at up to \$2,200/oz and considers updated modifying factors and depletion. The Cowal Underground Ore Reserve includes development material at an incremental cut-off grade of 0.55g/t Au

4.Red Lake Ore Reserve cut-off is 4.0g/t Au except for HG Young (3.0g/t Au) and Upper Campbell (2.5g/t Au)

  1. Mungari Underground Ore Reserve cut-off varies from 2.2g/t Au to 3.8g/t Au and is dependent on specific deposits and varies between each underground mine taking into account location and costs

  2. Mungari Open Pit Ore Reserves were optimised using a \$1,600/oz gold price assumption. The exceptions are the Paradigm and Castle Hill open pit operations which have been scheduled for production between 2023 and 2025 and have been optimised with a \$2,200/oz gold price assumption. Cut-offs vary by deposit from 0.57g/t Au to 0.74g/t Au and take into account location and costs

  3. Ernest Henry Operations reported Ore Reserve estimate is based on the June 2022 Mineral Resource detailed in the 1 August 2022 ASX release titled "Material Increase in Ernest Henry Mineral Resource'. The applied cut-off grade of 0.75% copper equivalent ('CuEq') is determined through an economic evaluation process which considers the Net Smelter Return (NSR) and operating costs. The utilised copper equivalent equation is: CuEq = Cu + Au NSR/72.77 where; Au NSR = 41.71*Au - 0.04
