Forward looking statement

==> picture [64 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited ('Evolution' 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

Investors should be aware that financial data in this presentation includes ‘non-IFRS financial information' under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing non-IFRS financial information published by ASIC and also ‘non-GAAP financial measures' within the meaning of Regulation G under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Non-IFRS/non-GAAP measures in this presentation include gearing, sustaining capital, major project capital, major mine development, production cost information such as All-in Sustaining Cost and All-in Cost. Evolution believes this non-IFRS/non-GAAP financial information provides useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and conditions of Evolution.

Mine extension to ~2040 – study progressing

▪ Feasibility Study due March quarter 2025

  • Study scope increased - Ernie Junior drilling extending mineralisation 300m north of the mine extension footprint, now incorporated in Feasibility Study

  • Reserve growth likely through conversion of large resource footprint as part of study

Bert orebody – potential for additional production source to complement mill[1]

  • Record drill intercept - exploration drilling returned the highest-grade gold intercept ever drilled at operation - 51.7m (43.0m estimated true width) grading 4.12g/t gold & 1.65% copper

  • Potential to be mined independently of the underground materials handling system

  • Opportunity to extend mineralisation with further drilling planned in FY25

Significant and consistent cash generation since acquisition

  • Returned more than $2.0B since acquisition[2 ]

  • All acquisition and capital costs repaid - Acquired economic interest 2016 ($880M), full ownership in 2022 ($1.0B)

Track record of significant resource and reserve growth[3]

  • Ore Reserve more than doubled to 74.5Mt from 34.3Mt (Dec 2022 - Dec 2023)

  • Next Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve update in second half FY25

  • Material extension to mine life since acquisition - increased to 2040 from 2027 based on current reserves and resources

Major Tom:[1]

  • Continuity of mineralisation confirmed in the vertical profile

  • Further drilling aims to delineate the scale and grade of the open pit target, located within 3km of processing plant

E51 :[1]

  • Drilling tested the southeast extension of the mineralised zone returning:

    • 46.0m (down hole width) grading 0.53% copper and 0.03g/t gold from the base of oxidation in drill hole E51D013.
  • Geological modelling of new drilling data in December 2024 quarter

  • Working towards estimation of maiden mineral resource , expected to be completed in June quarter 2025.

Figure 2: Plan view of Major Tom / E51 prospect areas showing reported intercepts with respect to previous drill intercepts and historic drilling along with the modelled stock contact position. 160m vertical slice from top of fresh rock (from 10’230mRL to 10’070mRL). Both prospects sit within and immediately adjacent to the contact zone of an intrusive stock and surrounding volcanic rocks, a highly prospective position hosting key ore bodies at Northparkes. Further drilling is underway to understand both prospects potential as future open-pit ore sources.

Data is reported to significant figures to reflect appropriate precision and may not sum precisely due to rounding

  1. Includes stockpiles

  2. Cowal Open Pit Ore Reserves are reported with respect to the declared Mineral Resource from December 2023. E42, E41, E46 and GRE Open Pit Ore Reserves are supported by the OPC Feasibility Study completed in June 2023 that demonstrates the proposed mine plans and schedules are economically viable. E46 and GR were optimised using a A$1,800/oz gold price assumption. E41 and E42 Stage I were optimised using gold price assumptions of $1,584/oz and $1,944/oz respectively. The Cowal Open Pit Ore Reserves are economic viable at the Evolution life of mine gold price assumption of A$2,650/oz.

  3. Cowal Underground Ore Reserve has been optimised using a A$1,800/oz price assumption, economically tested at up to A$2,650/oz and considers updated modifying factors and depletion. The Cowal Underground Ore Reserve includes development material at an incremental cut-off grade of 0.6g/t Au

  4. Ernest Henry reported Ore Reserve estimate is based on the December 2022 Mineral Resource detailed in the ASX Release titled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement” dated 16 Feb 2023 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au . The applied flow model cut-off grades of 0.50 % and 0.75% copper equivalent ('CuEq’) are 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/56.4 where; Au NSR = 38.5 * Au - 0.047

  5. Mungari Open Pit Ore Reserve cut-off varies from 0.39g/t Au to 0.65g/t Au; the weighted average cut-off is 0.50g/t Au. Gold prices between A$1,800 and A$2,400/ounce were used to calculate cut-off grades for Open Pit Ore Reserve estimate

  6. Mungari Underground Ore Reserve cut-off varies from 2.80g/t Au to 3.63g/t Au; the weighted average cut-off is 3.19g/t Au. Gold price of A$1,800 was used to calculate cut-off grades for the Underground Ore Reserve estimate

  7. Red Lake Ore Reserve has been evaluated using an A$1800/oz price, except for the Upper Campbell and Upper Red Lake regions which have been re-reported this year using previous price assumptions of A$1600/oz. In 2024 a ‘Hill of Value’ study is scheduled to optimize the mine plan and cutoff criteria throughout the operation

  8. The Marsden Ore Reserve has been reported using a ‘Net Smelter Return’ (NSR) cut-off which takes into account ore haulage from Marsden to Cowal, ore processing costs at Cowal, general and administration costs, treatment and refining costs, concentrate costs, metallurgical recoveries, metal payabilities, metal prices, and royalties. The breakeven NSR value equates approximately to a 0.3g/t Au cutoff. The Ore Reserve estimate was developed using a A$1,350 per ounce gold price and a A$6000/t copper price

  9. Northparkes Ore Reserve is based on Pre-Feasibility & Feasibility studies completed at different times using differing price assumptions. Copper price assumptions vary between US$ 2.75-3.77/lb, Gold price assumptions vary between US$ 1250-1750/oz and AUD:USD exchange rates used were between 0.73-0.78. The values reported reflect the 80% portion attributable to Evolution Mining only.

Data is reported to significant figures to reflect appropriate precision and may not sum precisely due to rounding.

  1. Ernest Henry Operations reported Mineral Resources are reported within an interpreted 0.7% Cu mineralised envelope which includes internal waste and low-grade material

  2. Marsden Mineral Resource is reported based on an NSR value calculation that considers mining and processing costs, metallurgical recoveries, royalties, transport and refining costs into account. The NSR produces a value cut-off (by block) that is approximately equivalent to a 0.2g/t gold cut-off

  3. Northparkes Open Pit Mineral Resource includes all material within designed pit shells above an economic cutoff grade; cut-off grades are 0.65g/t Au for E44 and 0.34% CuEq for E31 based on US$3.30/lb copper, US$1,32/oz gold and 0.73 AUD:USD conversion rate

  4. Northparkes Underground Mineral Resource metal price and exchange rate assumptions vary by project, reporting shapes were developed using price assumptions of US $1.69 – US$3/lb copper, US$660 – US$1350/oz gold and an AU$:US$ conversion rate of 0.73 -0.75. Northparkes underground cut-off grades are reported within 0.4% Cu grade shells with the exception of E22 using A$18NSR, E26 L2 using A$40NSR and MJH using A$25NSR

  5. The reported Mineral Resource shown for Northparkes is exclusive of Ore Reserves. The values reported reflect the 80% portion attributable to Evolution Mining only. Triple Flag Metal Purchase and Sale Agreement purchased 67.5% of gold production capped at 630koz gold, followed by 33.75% gold production for the remaining life of mine with ongoing payments equal to 10% of the spot metal price delivered – 41koz delivered under this agreement to 31/12/2023

  1. Ernest Henry reported Ore Reserve estimate is based on the December 2022 Mineral Resource detailed in the ASX Release titled “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement” dated 16 Feb 2023 and available to view at www.evolutionmining.com.au . The applied flow model cut-off grades of 0.50 % and 0.75% copper equivalent ('CuEq’) are determined through an economic evaluation process which considers the Net Smelter Return (NSR) and operating costs. The utlised copper equivalent equation is: CuEq = Cu + Au NSR/56.4 where; Au NSR = 38.5 * Au - 0.047

  2. Marsden Ore Reserve is reported based on an NSR value calculation that considers ore haulage from Marsden to Cowal, ore processing costs at Cowal, general and administration costs, treatment and refining costs, concentrate costs, metallurgical recoveries, metal payabilities, metal prices, and royalties. The breakeven NSR value equates approximately to a 0.3g/t Au cutoff. The Ore Reserve estimate was developed using a A$1,350 per ounce gold price and a A$6000/t copper price 3. Includes stockpiles

  3. Northparkes Ore Reserve is based on Pre-Feasibility & Feasibility studies completed at different times using differing price assumptions. Copper price assumptions vary between US$ 2.75-3.77/lb, Gold price assumptions vary between US$ 12501750/oz and $AUD:$USD exchange rates used were between 0.73-0.78. The values reported reflect the 80% portion attributable to Evolution Mining
