12 month production of 87,000 ounces @ $1,260/oz Was an underperforming asset

  • Laverton previously starved of funds

  • Focus injected $17m in working capital over the last 9 months

  • All funded internally from FML cash balances

  • Not been without sacrifice to FML

Undertaken a number of operating changes

  • Initially increased digging fleet from 2 to 4 to open up 3 new operating areas

  • Involved development of new haul roads; dewatering bores; site Infrastructure and significant movement of overburden at Apollo new complex

Seen a strong turnaround in production

  • From mining 200,000t per quarter to +500,000t per quarter

    • Improvement in efficiencies seen cash costs reduced from +$1,600/oz to $1,200/oz
  • Laid the foundations for production stability

Looking forward

  • Development pipeline to include Burtville, with subsequent focus on Admiral Hill, Calypso and Fish Underground

Delivered Exploration Success

==> picture [720 x 11] intentionally omitted <==

FML has delivered significant exploration success over the past 12 months:

Tindals Surface

  • Grown Mineral Resource to 22.3Mt @ 2.1g/t for 1.5Moz. Continued drilling success

Greenfields

  • Drilling & technical work enabling pit to be brought back into production in this Quarter

Greater Coolgardie

  • Strong development pipeline emerging outside Tindals centre with success at Bayleys North, Patricia Jean and CNX.

Treasure Island

  • Identified new 4km mineralised zone running 3km east of Island. Exciting greenfields play.

Apollo

  • Added 100,000oz of Mineral Resource in just a few months of drilling on takeover. Able to transition area into production

Burtville

  • Recent 140% increase in Mineral Resource to 235,000oz. Identified significant system
