June 2021 Quarterly Activities Report

Highlights

Mt Boppy Gold Project

  • Continued progress on all fronts;

  • Steady gold production for the Quarter with 4,965 ounces gold produced for a Net Operating Cashflow of A$779k;

  • Average grade for the Quarter of 2.81g/t Au and recoveries of 72.1%;

  • Forecast of Mt Boppy gold to be recovered upgraded again to 20% above July ’20 IPO vs previous guidance of +15% as provided in April ‘21;

  • Mt Boppy gold production to thus continue until year end & Wonawinta silver production to commence in January 2022, initially from stockpiles;

  • July production on track for record month - update to be released post month-end;

  • Balance sheet flexibility improved with debt facility extended a further 12 months to Sept 2022 and on improved terms.

Wonawinta Silver Project

  • Wonawinta Silver production is now planned to commence in January 2022;

  • Measured and Indicated Resources at Wonawinta increased 43% following completion of 14,000m in-fill RC drilling program;

  • The classification upgrade paves the way for the completion of the Wonawinta Mine Plan and release of Manuka’s maiden JORC reserve during the September quarter;

  • Additional Wonawinta Silver extension drill program ~50% complete & likely to contribute to next resource update around year-end.

Wonawinta Deeps Program

  • ‘Proof-of-Concept’ drill program has successfully tested for presence of carbonate-hosted sulphides in the Winduck Shelf strata down-dip from existing Wonawinta open pits encountering leadzinc-silver mineralisation over 3km strike;

  • Follow-up planned as part of an 8,000m drill program commencing in August;

  • The initial program comprised only 3km of a total 15km strike length;

  • Planning is underway for a targeted geophysics survey along the Wonawinta Trend commencing August, to be followed by further drilling in Dec Quarter.

Company Review for June Quarter 2021

Production for the March Quarter was the Company’s best to date, and the June Quarter was expected to continue this positive trend. While April and May recorded strong operational performance, June was afflicted with very poor weather. The Company saw 20% reduction in days’ haulage in June alone vs the entire March Quarter but pleasingly contributed to only a ~6% lower production result.

Mining activities at Mt Boppy are now well ahead of haulage with ~two months’ production on the Mt Boppy ROM pad awaiting transport to the Wonawinta plant for processing. Additional trucks have been secured which should ensure suitable availability of ore feed to the mill to maintain planned throughput levels to mitigate future weather impacts.

With respect to our debt refinance planning, COVID-19 and related international travel restrictions and thus site visits, have delayed the Company’s expectation of a debt refinance. As a prudent interim step Manuka received a 12 month term extension on improved terms from its existing financier TransAsia Private Capital until 30 September 2022. Manuka will continue to entertain a debt refinance so long as it delivers a materially lower cost of finance as well as providing flexibility towards assisting fulfil the Company’s future business plans.

Mt Boppy Gold Project Quarterly Summary:

  • 4,965 ounces of gold produced and 4,831 ounces sold at an average price of A$2,350/oz;

  • A total of 105,804 tonnes of ore was mined at Mt Boppy during the June Quarter, with 81,400 tonnes trucked to the Wonawinta plant at an average grade of 2.81g/t Au;

  • Wonawinta plant recoveries averaged 72.1% for the quarter (target 75%);

  • Currently Manuka has 3 drill and blast programs remaining for the current pit-design at Mt Boppy. The 180RL blasting is scheduled for 25 August, the 175RL blasting is scheduled for mid-Sept and the 170RL blasting is scheduled for late Sept. Mining will complete early October following which a further in-pit exploration program is planned for Mt Boppy. Full details of the program which will include the Canbelego King and Birthday Prospects, as well as Pipeline Ridge and other high conviction targets within our tenements, will be announced to the market in the near term.

At the time of its IPO in July 2020, Manuka’s estimate of gold production anticipated the recovery and sales of between 22,000 – 24,000 ounces gold from Mt Boppy before transitioning to silver production (‘Phase 1’ production in the prospectus). To end of June 2021, current Phase 1 production of gold is 21,234oz Au.

The Company further notes that the increased grades of ore now flowing through the plant, together with the mining and haulage efficiencies gained since commencement of operations, will contribute to the economical recovery of an additional ~10,000oz Au from the existing pit-shell at Mt Boppy.

In summary, Manuka now expects a 20% increase in forecast gold recovered from Mt Boppy versus the IPO estimate, an increase on our expectations from April which indicated an increase of +15%.

Wonawinta Silver Project:

  • Due to the increased gold production from the current Mt Boppy pit-shell extending to November/December, the transition of the plant to silver will occur in early January 2022;

  • Silver production will commence with the processing of the ~515,000t of stockpiles at the Wonawinta plant, followed by additional >200,000 stockpiles in close proximity;

  • The Company is completing further lead recovery test work prior to the completion of its mine plan and Maiden Reserve;

  • Covid-19 issues and general high demand for service providers from the resources sector, continues to cause delays in pre-determined timetables.

Growth and Exploration Outlook

In the previous Quarterly report Manuka announced its ongoing three stage exploration program (see points a – c below). A fourth stage has now been added to the program (see point d below) which reads as follows:

  • a) Manuka was to recommence drilling on the ML’s from early May 2021 as part of a broader resource extension and infill program focused on the southern area of the mining lease and the adjacent exploration license – this program is now mid-way

  • b) Following four consecutive Mt Boppy exploration programs all intersecting spectacular grades, further exploration is to be progressed once mining ceases at Mt Boppy. As Manuka does not want to wait till October to restart Mt Boppy exploration, it has therefore initiated a geophysics program over our ML’s and EL in the East Cobar Basin. This program commences in August. Drilling on our already

Manuka Resources Limited - Level 4 Grafton Bond Building, 201 Kent St Sydney NSW Australia 2000 ABN 80 611 963 225 tel +61 412 268114 www.manukaresources.com.au

identified neighbouring targets will commence mid-September, and drilling in the pit will continue following mining.

  • c) The independent assay results of the Wonawinta Deeps drill program were very encouraging, encountering lead-zinc-silver mineralization over a 3km strike. The total 15km strike length on tenements held by Manuka in its West Cobar Basin portfolio remains to be tested and a follow up drill program is to commence as part of 8,000m oxide and sulphide program commencing early August. The West Cobar Basin tenements of the Manuka portfolio are also undergoing a comprehensive geophysical review commencing August.

  • d) Targeted exploration drilling on the West Cobar Basin tenements – an initial RC (reverse circulation) drilling program will commence in August focusing on our Smith Tank, McKinnons and McKinnons North, Wirlong and Guzzi targets.

Cashflow and Hedging

Manuka generated ~$0.78 million in positive Operating Cash Flow, over the June Quarter. Cash generation continues to improve since the current Quarter-end, and the Company is comfortable with its funding position. July performance is reasonably expected to continue for the remaining months of gold production, as we head towards the warmer weather of spring, combined with an improved haulage capability, and the continuation of mining in a higher grade section of the pit.

The Company has a margin free hedge facility, and in light of the current volatility in the precious metals markets it has recently initiated a hedging program on future production for 2,500oz gold, which at time of writing is in the money.

Corporate

The Company has extended its senior secured debt facility with TransAsia Private Capital to end September 2022. Amount outstanding as at 30 June 2021 was US$10.84 million. A further total of A$2.597 million is owing to subordinated lenders.

Total borrowings at 30 June 2021 were A$15.75 million down substantially from A$24.3 million (or A$26.06 million if including convertible note interest due at that time) as at 30 June 2020.

Unused facilities available at Quarter end were A$376k whilst the cash balance was $1.02 million.

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 5.3.3, during the quarter, the Company made cash payments of $0.063 million to related parties and their associates (refer items 6.1 and 6.2 of the Appendix 5B). This was the aggregate amount paid to the directors including salary, directors’ fees, consulting fees and superannuation.
