NEAR-MINE GROWTH

Exceptional progress pointing to a significant Resource increase

RECENT DRILLING CONTINUED WITH THE NEAR-MINE RESOURCE GROWTH STRATEGY

• 2 discoveries in 2021 (Tyson, Carey) set the platform for 2022

• Exceptional results outside of the current 2.23Moz Resource point to continued growth. Results[4] included:

• 0.4m @ 1,020g/t gold (Tyson)

• 7.8m @ 17.0g/t gold (Tyson)

• 1.6m @ 73.2g/t gold (Shaft 3)

1.2 Moz of Resource Added In 16 Months For A$17.58 (US$12.59) per ounce

==> picture [148 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

• Further Resource development will involve reestablishing access to the underground mine for infill drilling

RE-ESTABLISHING UNDERGROUND ACCESS

EXISTING WORKINGS COMBINED WITH NEAR-SURFACE MINERALISATION PROVIDES OPTIONALITY

REHABILITATE HISTORICAL SHAFTS

ECONOMIC TRADE-OFF STUDIES FOR EACH OPTION ARE IN UNDERWAY

• Open pit optimizations on the Inferred Resource model indicate potentially economic open pit mineralisation (BIF and vein-hosted)
