  • LoM grade control drilling to be completed by December 2017
  • Near mine and regional exploration active with 5 surface drill rigs operating

  • 1) For further information on Mineral Resources refer to ASX release Nova Mineral Resource Estimation and Exploration Update, dated 26 Jul 2017

3% variance from initial capital estimate a great result

  • Nova construction and development costs have been reconciled to initial, uninflated estimates from January 2015
  • Reconciliation demonstrates a good overall discipline in cost management
  • Due to a delay in ramp up and transition to commercial production, higher pre-operating owners costs, together with pre-operating sales, have been absorbed into the total capital result
  • The strong overall result is compounded by the completion of additional mine development relative to the initial estimate and improved specifications of key infrastructure components that will benefit the operation in the long term

Nova Mine Layout

Shallow, thick, flat lying orebody delivers low mining costs

Nova Resource(1)

Interim update as at 30 June 2017

91km of grade control drilling completed to date

  • Delivers significant increase in confidence of Resource with drilling to 12.5m x 12.5m centres
  • Updated Mineral Resource estimate using revised geological interpretation and approach to resource domaining
  • As at 30 June 2017 Mineral Resource estimate for Nova and Bollinger is:
  • ─ 11.4Mt at 2.4% Ni, 1.0% Cu and 0.08% Co
  • ─ Equivalent to 271,000t Ni, 113,000t Cu and 9,000t Co
  • Compared with previous estimates tonnage is reduced 15% with slightly higher grades for a reduction in contained metal of 14% and 12% for nickel and copper respectively(2)
  • Working towards an updated Ore Reserve Estimate in the December 2017 quarter
  • Work to date does not capture the potential for extensions to orebody

1) For further information on Mineral Resources refer to ASX release Nova Mineral Resource Estimation and Exploration Update, dated 26 Jul 2017

2) For comparison purposes both models have been reported using the same NiEq calculation at a ≥0.6% NiEq cut-off grade

  • 30 drill holes completed as part of a program to map the south-western extension of the Bollinger orebody
  • The majority of results are still pending
  • Significant results received to date include(1):
  • ─ NBU0977 6.9m @ 3.52% Ni
  • ─ NBU0980 13.3m @ 1.85% Ni
  • Drilling is continuing in 1Q18

Fraser Range Exploration

Regional drilling around Nova

  • New frontier with exploration focus only after Nova discovery in 2012
  • Belt is underexplored primarily as discontinuous land positions held by underfunded juniors at bottom of commodity price cycle
  • IGO completing systematic greenfields exploration in brownfields environment with significant opportunity for discovery

Transitioning towards grade streaming

Mining costs have fallen 37% since CY15

  • Accelerated mining rates have been delivered by the introduction of a 600t class hydraulic shovel in to the mining fleet in November 2016
  • Increased mining rates have improved productivity and accelerated access to ore
  • Grade streaming through CY18 and CY19 delivers material increases in gold production and corresponding reduction in AISC
  • Grade streaming will occur irrespective of Long Island Study decisions

Directional Unit Costs and Material Movement(1)

1) For further detailed information on Tropicana mining costs and schedule outlook see Tropicana Gold Mine Investor/Analyst Visit presentation and ASX release dated 4 Aug 2017

Long Island Study – What is it?

Based on strip mining strategy

  • Possible due to tabular geometry and strike extent
  • Unlocks additional down plunge resource

Strip mining delivers lower mining costs

  • Shorter hauls due to in-pit dumping of waste
  • Transition to face shovels
  • Mining of bigger benches to reduce drill and blast costs

Tropicana LoM pit to be starter pit

• Backfill with waste from Boston Shaker to the north and Havana to the south

Mining scenario under Long Island

  • Peak material movement rate 105Mtpa
  • Current mining fleet will be expanded by
  • ─ 1 x 600t shovel
  • ─ 2-5 Cat 793 haul trucks
  • LoM extended to 2028

Long Island Study

Staged schedule with multiple decision points

  • 3 decision points Flexibility & Optionality
  • 3 locations with 8 stages
  • ─ 1st decision point 4Q17
  • ─ 2nd decision point 4Q19
  • ─ 3rd decision point 4Q22

Finalisation of the Long Island Study is expected in the December 2017 quarter
