Compliance Statements
Information relating to Mineral Resources for the Mt Boppy Gold Mine is extracted from the announcement titled ‘ Mineral Resource Update - Mt Boppy Gold Project amended” dated 16 April 2024 and available to view on the Company’s website. The Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information used to compile the 2021 Mineral Resource and all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Information relating to Production Targets and Financial Forecast for the Mt Boppy Gold Mine is extracted from the Announcement titled “Updated Corporate Presentation” dated 29 October 2024 and available to view on the Company’s website.

Historically one of NSW’s richest gold mines, having produced ~500,000 oz Gold at ~15 g/t Au.
•
-
Proposed establishment of a flexible Low Capex Processing Facility on site to treat Oxide and Fresh ores from historic rock dumps and tailings to produce Gold doré with Silver credits.
-
Existing 48-bed mining camp and ancillary infrastructure located on site.
-
A new tailings storage facility to be constructed on pre-approved site.
-
Major environmental approvals in place for the restart.
-
Clear opportunities to extend the mine life via self-funded investigations and further exploration including the brownfields deposits Mt Boppy Open Pit and Boppy South and the greenfields Pipeline Ridge deposit located 20km to the south of Mt Boppy.
Cautionary Statement
The Production Target underpinning Financial Forecasts presented within this Presentation comprises 62% Indicated Resources, 22% Inferred Resources and 15% Exploration Target. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the conversion of Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources or return the same grade and tonnage distribution. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to determine a mineral resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. The Exploration Target relates to the Pipeline Ridge Ore only. The Company has determined that sufficient data exists to include a portion of the Pipeline Ridge Exploration Target in the Production Target and furthermore that is it not a determining factor in the economic viability of the Project. The estimated Mineral Resource and Exploration Target underpinning the Production Target have been prepared by a Competent Person in accordance with the requirements in the JORC Code.

Whilst the Mt Boppy Open Pit Resource (233kt at 4g/t Au) is currently excluded from the mine plan, near pit exploration will target high grade down-dip extensions of the existing deposit and analogous structures along strike and en-echelon to extend mine life.
