2Q18 Drivers & Outlook

• Stronger 2Q18 result driven by throughput and grade, 1.97Mt of ore processed at an average grade of 2.45g/t Au. Recovery increased to 89.1% compared to 88.8% in 1Q18
• Mining and processing physicals all in line with expectations
• Grade streamlining has re-commenced and delivers elevated gold production in CY18 and CY19
• Phase One of the Long Island strategy has been approved as well as the decision to install an additional 6MW ball mill in the processing plant
• Accelerated mining rates maintained in the Quarter and will continue as part of Long Island mining strategy
• 1) AISC is All-in Sustaining Costs
• 2) Implied half yearly guidance (FY18 guidance divided by two)

Tropicana

Boston Shaker drilling and underground studies continue

Underground drilling returned significant intercepts

• 18m at 6.58g/t Au from 587m
• 37m at 6.49g/t Au from 509m
• 20m at 5.82g/t Au from 609m

Next steps:

• Drill program scheduled for completion 3Q18

Exploration expenditure	A\$M	1.0	1.3	2.3	1.5 – 2.5

2Q18 Drivers & Outlook

• Lower zinc in concentrate production reflects lower scheduled zinc grades and lower tonnes mined, production expected to increase in 3Q18 and 4Q18
• Follow up drilling at Jaguar Rising and Pteradactyl in 2Q18 confirms previous anomalism. Regional work program continuing
• Resource work and technical studies underway for Bentayga (Bentley Deeps) expect to lead to more drilling
