Mining

Processing

Conventional truck and shovel operation

  • Conventional Carbon In Leach Plant. Plant design and flow process used Simberi, Misima, Porgera, Hidden Valley

  • Highly experienced contract miner engaged

  • CIL technology used on over 60% of WA Gold mines[1]

  • Mining from 3 pits delivered to ROM stockpile

  • Low power process with power to be sourced from onsite diesel gensets

  • Homogenous nature of ore reduces any major variations in mining ore processing

  • On site storing of key reagents and consumables to reduce logistic risk

Logistics

  • Dore produced on site

  • Exported via plane to Australia

Low cost profile operation

Low all in sustainable cost profile

Highly competitive AISC of A$1239/oz Low cost position driven by:

  • Near surface mineralisation and low strip ratio of 4x

  • Simple Conventional Carbon In Leach (CIL) processing plant

  • Favorable metallurgical characteristics ensure low power requirements and low consumable & reagent consumption

Extending the first 5 years

==> picture [33 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [108 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

First 5 years

Excellent metrics from initial 5-years of mine plan driven by:

  • Strong upfront grade profile

  • Lower strip ratio

  • Low AISC

Operating metrics deliver average post tax cashflow of A$100m per annum over the first 5 years

Upside

Significant value creation to be driven by the addition of more ore into the resource inventory

High grade (>1.5g/t) ore additions: elongate high grade period Mid grade (1g/t – 1.5g/t) ore additions:

  • Extend mine life and 2.4mtpa production profile or

  • Drive an expansion of the mill

Exploration the key

Woodlark remains relatively underexplored

Exploration and Growth Upside

Investor Presentation | June 2021 11

Woodlark growth strategy

==> picture [168 x 398] intentionally omitted <==

  • Growth strategy revolves around increasing reserves and inventory to the current mine plan

  • Optionality exists to debottleneck and expand the mill footprint to accommodate increased ore feed

  • All drill-defined resources remain open along strike, down dip and at depth

  • Three Phase exploration strategy:

  • Pit extension exploration

  • Mineral Lease

  • Regional step out on to exploration leases

  • Exploration budget will be managed with available cashflow and project development timing

==> picture [33 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [108 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [496 x 398] intentionally omitted <==

Investor Presentation | June 2021 12

Phase 1: near pit potential

  • All 3 operational pits (Busai, Kulumandau and Woodlark King) have significant exploration upside

  • Substantial Inferred material within existing pit shells to be converted to Measured & Indicated via infill drilling

  • Targeting lateral extensions at surface and down dip extensions at depth

  • Deeper drilling to define economic pit limits. Current pit shells constrained by data not economics

  • Definition of additional in-pit ounces reduces strip ratio and increases life of mine production

Investor Presentation | June 2021

Phase 2: mineral lease exploration

Substantial land holding available for exploration post completion of pit step out drilling

Numerous highly prospective targets identified within the Mining Lease, with visible gold at surface

All currently identified targets proximal to planned mill location

Rapid conversion of drilling target to mill feed as Mining Lease already in place

Broader Mining Lease exploration scheduled to commence once existing pit limits fully delineated

Phase 3: regional exploration

==> picture [309 x 398] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [33 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [108 x 32] intentionally omitted <==

  • Substantial land package extending over a large proportion of the island

  • Significant number of gold and copper surface outcrops to be evaluated

  • Longer term focus on the Exploration Lease with numerous gold and copper surface outcrops / soil anomalies identified

  • Regional exploration highly cost effective once project is operational with only incremental down the hole and assay costs to be funded

Forward Looking Statements: All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this announcement including, without limitation, statements regarding future plans and objectives of Geopacific Resources Limited are forward-looking statements. When used in this announcement, forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as ‘may’, ‘could’, ‘believes’, ‘estimates’, ‘targets’, ‘expects’ or ‘intends’ and other similar words that involve risks and uncertainties.

These statements are based on an assessment of present economic and operating conditions, and on a number of assumptions regarding future events and actions that, as at the date of this announcement, are expected to take place. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are beyond the control of the company, its directors and management of Geopacific Resources Ltd that could cause Geopacific Resources Limited’s actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or anticipated in these statements.

Geopacific Resources Ltd cannot and does not give any assurance that the results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this announcement will actually occur and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Geopacific Resources Ltd does not undertake to update or revise forward-looking statements, or to publish prospective financial information in the future, regardless of whether new information, future events or any other factors affect the information contained in this announcement, except where required by applicable law and stock exchange listing requirements.

Non-IFRS Financial Information: Investors should also be aware that certain financial data included in this presentation may be 'non-IFRS financial information' under Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing non-IFRS financial information published by ASIC. The Company believes this non-IFRS financial information provides useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and condition of the Company. The non-IFRS financial information does not have a standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards. Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information and ratios (if any) included in this presentation.
