Chief Executive Officer, Tim Richards commented
“The December 2020 quarter was transformative for Geopacific with the Company achieving pivotal milestones in its transition from explorer to Papua New Guinea’s next gold producer. The undertaking of a successful $140 million two-tranche placement, coupled with the announcement of Sprott Resource Lending as the preferred debt provider means that the pathway to full funding is now clearly defined. During the quarter, the Company released a Project Execution Update which highlighted considerable economic enhancements over the November 2018 DFS with material improvements in NPV and IRR.
At a stakeholder level, the registration by the Mineral Resources Authority (MRA) of the updated community Relocation Agreement, in conjunction with the stakeholder signing of the project Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) underscores the strong community support for the project and the desire at all levels of the Papau New Guinea government for the development of the Woodlark Gold Project to proceed.
The significant achievements of the past quarter see Geopacific well placed to meet its targetted construction start date of June Quarter 2021.”

An SPP offer document and application form was issued to eligible shareholders on 11 January 2021 with the offer closing 10 February 2021.
The Placement was strongly supported by existing institutional shareholders, complemented by significant demand from new major domestic and international investors. This transformational capital raising provides the equity funding component of the development capital required for the Company’s Woodlark Gold Project. For additional information pertaining to the Placement please refer to the ASX Announcement published on 14 December 2020.
Selection of Preferred Financier
Geopacific announced the selection of Sprott Resource Lending as its preferred financier for the development of the Woodlark Gold Project. The Company entered into a period of exclusivity with Sprott Resource Lending to finalise a US$85 million Project Finance Facility (the "Project Finance Facility") and a US$15 million Callable Gold Stream (the “Gold Stream”) for development of the Company’s Woodlark Gold Project. The Project Finance Facility and the Gold Stream remain subject to usual conditions including Sprott committee approval and final documentation (among other things).
Sprott has been in discussions with the Company to fund the development of the Woodlark Project since 2018. This exclusivity arrangement with Sprott follows the positive results of extensive technical due diligence on the Woodlark Gold Project by Sprott and its advisors. Sprott’s ongoing commitment to the Woodlark Gold Project provides strong validation of robust project economics that have been further enhanced by the record gold price.
For additional information pertaining to the selection of Sprott as Geopacific’s preferred financier please refer to the ASX Announcement published on 6 October 2020.

Project Execution Update Published
During the period, the Company issued a Project Execution Update for the Woodlark Gold Project. The update was the culmination of a work program initiated in June 2020 and designed to progress all aspects of the Woodlark Gold Project to a high level of execution readiness by the end of 2020. Key outcomes of the Project Execution Update include:
-
Improved economics for the shovel ready Woodlark Gold Project;
-
Post-tax NPV8 increased 76% to $347 million (US$253 million), IRR of 34% at a gold price of $2,200/oz (US$1,606/oz);
-
Forecast average AISC of $1,239/oz (US$904/oz) over life of mine;
-
Thirteen year mine life and significant exploration potential;
-
+1Moz Ore Reserve[3] underpinning open pit mine plan with simple 2.4 Mtpa Carbon In Leach (CIL) process plant; and
-
Total estimated establishment capital of $254.8M[4 ] (US$186M) - rapid post-tax payback of 1.8 years.
Compelling Gold Project
The Project Execution Update presents the Woodlark Gold Project as a compelling +1 million ounce[3] gold development project. A significant body of work has been completed since the 2018 DFS[5] focussed on execution readiness. All key aspects were updated to account for the advanced planning and detailed pricing that was obtained in the work program since June 2020. The establishment capital estimate was completed to a -2%/+8% level of accuracy and is underpinned by detailed planning far exceeding industry norms for this stage of the project lifecycle. Key Metrics from the Project Execution Update are detailed below:
| Key Metrics | |
|---|---|
| High Margin | Average All-in Sustaining Costs (AISC) of $1,239/oz (US$904/oz) providing 43% margin at $2,200/oz (US$1,606/oz), increasing to 50% at the market gold price6. |
| Rapid Project Payback | Near surface mineralisation and low strip ratio in the early production years to facilitate strong up- front cashflow profile resulting in a rapid post-tax project payback period of 1.8 years. |
| +1 Moz of gold in Ore Reserve |
+1 million ounce mine plan underpinned by Measured and Indicated Ore Reserves. |
| Current Ore Reserve provides 13 years of process plant feed – while the project remains heavily | |
| +10 Year Project | leveraged to further exploration success across the under explored substantial and highly prospective |
| tenement package. | |
| Simple Mining and | Conventional open pit mining of near surface mineralisation and proven industry standard 2.4 Mtpa |
| Process Route | carbon in leach (CIL) gold process plant. |
| Geopacific is poised to take advantage of the record gold price environment with all key project | |
| permits in place, preferred project financier selected, community commitment acknowledged and | |
| Shovel Ready | execution readiness beyond industry norms. The updated capital cost estimate of $254.8 million4(US$186 million) is reflective of the advanced |
| stage of execution readiness and Geopacific’s increased commitment to support community | |
| development which is imperative to the success of the Woodlark Gold Project. | |
| Untapped Exploration | Three phased exploration strategy developed to target high value opportunities. Economics highly |
| Potential | leveraged to further exploration success. |

Memorandum of Agreement
Extensive and ongoing community engagement has taken place over a number of years to ensure familiarity and understanding of potential impacts and benefits of the Woodlark Gold Project on the local community. In October 2020, the Project MoA was initialled by the Woodlark Gold Project area landowners, the National, Provincial and Local Level Governments and Woodlark Mining Limited. The MoA is designed to define the distribution of Project royalties once production commences, and outlines the commitments of all stakeholders to ensure that the economic benefits flow to the people of Woodlark Island and the broader region, including employment and business opportunities and appropriate management of environmental and social impacts.
Building the Team
Recruitment of key personnel continued during the December 2020 quarter, with a number of seasoned expatriates accepting senior roles in the project development team. Roles filled during the quarter include the Mine Manager, Construction Manager, Health, Safety and Security Manager and a Senior Procurement and Logistics specialist. It is expected that by the end of the March 2021 quarter, the remainder of the Project team will be in place.
Occupational Health and Safety
During the quarter there was one lost time injury recorded. The on-site contractor was transported to Port Moresby for treatment and has now resumed work at the contractors Port Moresby office.
As the Woodlark Gold Project advances towards construction, it is crucial that safety management processes and procedures on site appropriately reflect the level and type of activity on site that the next phase of the Project will bring.
A key focus during the quarter was the development and implementation of a new health and safety management system which included:
-
Board endorsement of an updated Health and Safety Policy;
-
Roll out of a new site induction and Health and Safety training program;
-
Appointment of a Health and Safety Manager (commencing in April 2021); and
-
Appointment of a Senior Site Safety Officer (commenced in January 2021).
Woodlark Project Activity Update
Following the completion of the Project Execution Update, the following project management activities were actioned in accordance with the Integrated Project Management Schedule (IPMS) to ensure readiness for the Financial Investment Decision (FID) planned to be made in the June quarter 2021:
-
Recruitment of key personnel;
-
Development of a detailed Project Execution Plan including project management procedures;
-
Complete setup of systems and procedures to manage, control and report against the approved budget and schedule; and
-
Development of the key major contracts.

==> picture [198 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
the house clearing, ground preparation works were completed at the new community school site and on the community church site.
HBS also progressed road maintenance activities to facilitate the efficient and safe transportation of personnel and equipment on Woodlark Island.
Woodlark Community Relocation
During the quarter, Rhodes continued works on the community relocation program. At the end of December 2020 construction had commenced on over 70 houses and communities facilities. A 3-room deluxe demonstration house was completed in October 2020. Further building materials were delivered on the barge in December 2020 with the remaining materials scheduled for delivery in the March 2021 quarter.
A key milestone during the quarter was the finalisation and execution of a Relocation Amendment Agreement in relation to updated house designs. The Relocation Agreement and Relocation Amendment Agreement have now both been approved and registered by the MRA. Registration of these documents formalises community acceptance and allows the relocation program to move forward with Government support.

Community and Social Responsibility
One of the key benefits of the Woodlark Gold Project will be the opportunity for landowners on Woodlark Island to benefit from business opportunities that are manageable, sustainable and profitable. Geopacific is committed to partnering with the local community to identify and develop these business opportunities. During the quarter, the specialist team dedicated to facilitating this partnership continued their efforts by:
-
Assisting the Landowners to engage with various Government entities and other stakeholders;
-
Assisting in the registration of the overarching Landowner company and preparation of a draft constitution for consideration; and
-
Providing training to Landowners in relation to the set up and structures of the required Landowner entities.

==> picture [198 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
This work program is due for completion in the June 2021 quarter, by which time it is expected that all of the necessary registrations and governance processes will be in place to enable Landowner companies to tender for contract opportunities.
License and Permit Management
In the September 2020 quarter an application was submitted to extend the trigger dates contained in the Woodlark Mining Licence associated with the requirements to complete project funding and construction and commissioning of the gold plant. During the December 2020 quarter this application was assessed by the Mining Advisory Council (MAC) and is now awaiting sign off by the Mining Minister.
The application submitted for a new Mining Easement for a road connecting the wharf to the processing facility was also assessed by the MAC and is now with the Mining Minister for final approval.
A Warden’s hearing was scheduled for the Mining Easement for the DSTP Pipeline in January 2021, after which it will proceed to the MAC for final assessment.
The Company remains confident that these applications will succeed in an appropriate time frame ahead of construction of those facilities.
