Meekatharra Gold Project (100%)

  • 3.3Moz resource in historic green stone belt with past production of 4.5Moz →

  • Project  Purchased at $11/oz resource including plant and facilities ( replacement +$100M )

  • BFS Completion ~ Feb 2012

  • Timing  Commence mining ~ Sep 2012  Commence commissioning ~ Nov 2012

  • STAGE 1: Low risk start-up  Steady state production ~ 100,000oz p.a.  Initial 2 year mine life from open pits only

  • Strategy STAGE 2: Increase production profile  Target +160,000oz p.a.  Multiple open pit & underground options

 Snowden – resource estimates 3[rd] Party  Minecomp – reserve calculations Technical  GR Engineering – plant capex

Underground Open Pit
----- End of picture text -----

32% increase in resource base since project acquisition – now at 3.59 Moz

 Strong upside given limited exploration on majority of Reed’s 1000km[2] tenement area  Minimum $4M p.a. exploration budget committed to further proving up MGP

 Total reserves (including underground) now at 752,000oz – majority in open pits

331% increase in open pit reserves since project acquisition

Includes two 1 million tonne open pits
