processing plant. Ore will be delivered to the processing plant from a combination of open pit and underground mines located within a 50 km radius of the processing plant.

The study demonstrates that the Project is expected to generate strong cash flows and financial returns over a 5.2-year mine life with average estimated annual free cash flows of A$68.8M at a gold price of A$2,550/oz. This pricing scenario enables a 7-month payback period that is further leveraged by carried forward tax-losses of A$258M (as at 30 June 2019).

Pre-development activities commenced on publication of the DFS and to date have been focussed on the refurbishment of the camp facilities, planning for the Davyhurst plant remedial works program and early planning works for mine development at both Riverina open pit and Golden Eagle underground mines. Plant commissioning is expected to commence in Q4, CY20 with first gold production targeted for Q1, CY21.

Key DFS Outcomes

Reserves reported for Waihi and Callion

Ora Banda declared a maiden JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserve for Waihi open pit of:

o 1.5Mt @ 2.3 g/t Au for 108koz

Ora Banda also declared a maiden JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserve for Callion open pit of:

o 0.24Mt @ 2.6 g/t Au for 21koz

The total JORC (2012) Probable Ore Reserves for the Davyhurst Project shifted to:

o 6.1Mt @ 2.4 g/t Au for 460koz

The Riverina & Callion underground ore reserves were not included in this DFS.

Base Case Provides Strong Economic Returns

DFS base case estimates for the Project using a A$2,100/oz gold price show a pre-tax, free cashflow of A$175M over a 5.2-year mine life with life of mine (LOM) average annual gold production of 81koz at a C1 cost of A$1,427/oz and all-in sustaining costs (AISC) of A$1,566/oz.

Pre-production Capital Costs

Davyhurst benefits from substantial pre-existing infrastructure, including a 1.2Mtpa processing plant, 172person accommodation camp, extensive haul road network, mains power and licensed working process-water borefields, all of which are under a full care and maintenance program.

This infrastructure significantly reduces the capital required to re-commence production at Davyhurst which is set out below.

The centrally located 1.2Mtpa processing plant will be supplied by a combination of open pit and underground mines. The study assumed power will be supplied to site via an LNG fired power station built and operated under a BOO contract. Gas fired power costs are estimated at 0.197 c/kWh, whilst diesel cost prior to rebate and GST amounts to A$0.92/litre. All gold production from the Davyhurst Gold Project is subject to a State royalty and there are several minor third-party royalties applicable to some of the Project tenements. Royalty costs have been included where applicable.

Production Profile

Multiple production sources are expected to underpin a potential long-life mining operation at the Project, with six deposits contributing to the initial five-year mine plan, and which will be mined by a combination of conventional open pit and underground mining techniques.

The mine plan is based solely on Probable Ore Reserve contained within the six deposits set out in Figure 1 below.

Permitting

All major approvals and permits have been obtained or are reasonably expected to be obtained in the next two months.

Next steps: Optimisation and contract negotiations

Ora Banda will continue to optimise DFS parameters over the next several months with a view of refining its plans, including trade off studies and inclusion of the latest technical and cost information. Preparations for a competitive tender process for contract mining work is in progress and is expected to be finalised by Q1 FY 2021. On 15 July 2020 the Company awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to GR Engineering Ltd associated with the restart of the existing Davyhurst gold processing plant.

The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning the DFS continue to apply and have not changed.

Maiden Callion Underground Resource of 77,000 ounces

A Maiden Underground Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) was declared at Callion totalling 411,000 t @ 5.8 g/t Au for 77,000 oz Au. This complemented the recently announced open pit resource 269,000 t @ 3.5 g/t Au for 30,000 oz Au. The total upgraded Callion Mineral Resource (Indicated and Inferred) increased to 680,000 t @ 4.9 g/t Au for 107,000 oz Au. Mineralisation remains open down plunge of the known resource areas. Strong potential remains for further resource growth with additional drilling.

Riverina Underground Resource Increases by 46% to 139,000 ounces

An update to the underground Mineral Resource for Riverina resulted in an increase of 46% to 728kt @ 5.9 g/t Au for 139,000 ounces. The total Mineral Resource at Riverina increased by 16% (44,000 ounces) to 3.7Mt @ 2.7g/t Au for 322,000 Au ounces. Mining studies continue on the upgraded underground Resource with a view to defining the economic parameters around an underground mine that would follow on from the initial open pit mining event.

Gold mineralisation plunges to the south and is hosted within two sub-parallel, sub-vertical shears separated by a distance of 5 to 15 metres. Drilling has demonstrated a strike of greater than 1 km and at depths of up to 270m below surface.

The updated underground Mineral Resource follows further modelling of Riverina Main Lode beneath the A$2,400 optimised open pit shell used to constrain the Riverina open pit resource. Historical underground mining of the Main Lode at Riverina was via a number of shafts, producing 99,500t @ 15.8 g/t Au for 50,490 ounces.

Golden Eagle Resource Upgrade

The existing Golden Eagle Resource was upgraded to 393kt at a substantially higher grade of 3.9 g/t Au for 49,000 ounces of contained gold reflecting the potential to mine this deposit by conventional underground mining methods. This included an Indicated Resource of 247kt also at a substantially higher grade of 4.1 g/t Au for 33,000 ounces of contained gold.

The upgraded Golden Eagle underground Mineral Resource estimate is based on a gold price of A$2,400 per oz Au, a cutoff grade of 2.0 g/t and has been derived following the input of (i) drilling results received since the previous resource was quoted and (ii) recent underground face sampling information together with the application of various constraints including modifying factors for potential underground operations (refer to Sections on Criteria Used For Classification and Cut-off grades and Modifying Factors).

By way of comparison, the previously reported Golden Eagle Resource estimate of 656kt at 2.5 g/t for 54,000 ounces of contained gold was derived from an unconstrained open pit resource model developed in 2003 and reported above a 1.0 g/t cut-off.

The most recent phase of underground mining operations at Golden Eagle commenced in August 2017 and was subsequently suspended in August 2018. Approximately 2,100m of underground development (decline 760m, access drives 420m, ore strike drives 870m and ventilation / emergency egress raises 50m) was completed and 25,000t of ore at a grade of 3.4 g/t Au was mined from production stopes during this period. Collectively ore won from these development and production areas was 70,150t at a grade of 2.9 g/t Au for 6,640 contained oz of gold.

As a result of these activities, the mine is well established with capital decline development approaching 150 vertical metres (319mRL) below the surface and 85 metres below the portal. Ore development is well established on four levels (395, 375, 355 & 335), with stope production well established (or complete) on three (395, 375 & 355).

Lady Ida Project - Flame Prospect

The Flame prospect was first defined by surface (auger) geochemical anomaly which was tested by RAB drilling in 2005. This drilling returned an anomalous intersection of 3m @ 1.27g/t from SRB3049. The prospect is interpreted to lie on the same mineralised trend as the Golden Lode deposit. To date, this trend has been under explored.

Flame prospect is poorly constrained with only limited shallow drilling in the area.

The initial RC program consisted of two holes on the same section line as SRB3049. Drilling intersected a sequence of fine grained foliated ultramafics with a wide zone of quartz veining and alteration. A number of significant intercepts were returned from this zone including 2.0m @ 19.22 g/t Au , 9.0m @ 5.53g/t Au and 3.0m @ 8.19 g/t Au (at a 0.5g/t lower cut). This entire mineralised zone bulks out to 25m @ 4.64g/t Au if a lower cut off of 0.2g/t is applied.

Mulline –Young Australian

The Young Australian prospect is situated in the central part of the Mulline gold corridor, in the northern part of Ora Banda’s Davyhurst Gold Project. The Mulline corridor is a north trending ~16 km long x 2.5 km wide zone with a high concentration of the historic shafts, old workings and more recent shallow laterite pits.

Drilling at Young Australian on two fences of holes 400m apart intersected multiple zones of quartz-sulphide veining accompanied by biotite-chlorite-sulphide alteration. in a moderate east dipping structure within an altered basalt.

Results on the northern line (Section A-A’; Figure 6) returned 4m @ 6.18 g/t Au from 36m and 4m @ 10.78 g/t Au from 48m (PTRC115).

Davyhurst Project – Golden Eagle Deposit

The Golden Eagle deposit is located 2 km from the Davyhurst processing plant. An upgraded underground resource was recently announced totalling 393kt @ 3.9 g/t Au for 49,000 ounces of contained gold (refer to ASX announcement dated 8 April 2020).

Between December 2019 and March 2020, eight RC holes with diamond tails were completed (2,998 metres) along strike to the north of the Golden Eagle resource, targeting down-plunge extensions of the Golden Eagle underground mine. The northern-most line of three drill holes was approximately 100m north of the Golden Eagle resource.

Significant results received from this program include: 5.6m @ 3.2 g/t Au from 207.4m (GEDD20001/Footwall Lode), 2m @ 6.5 g/t Au from 250m (GEDD19004/Footwall Lode), 2.3m @ 7.5 g/t Au from 343.2m (GEDD19006/Main Lode) and 2.1m @ 12.9 g/t Au from 350.9m (GEDD19006/Footwall Lode).

Siberia Project – Sand King Deposit

Sand King is one of several deposits in the Company’s Siberia project area, which is approximately 37km south east of the Davyhurst processing plant. Historic gold production (1897 to 1930) was spread over numerous reefs in the area. All of these occurrences fall with a mineralised corridor that sits within mafic lithologies bounded by granites in the west and ultramafic in the east.

Modern mining has concentrated on four open pits, namely Sand King, Missouri, Palmerston-Camperdown and Bewick - Moreing.

These deposits are hosted entirely within the mafic basalts, west of the contact and remain open at depth. Sand King is the largest producer of these deposits having mined approximately 747,000t @ 4.0 g/t for 88,000 ounces[1] between 1980 and 1991.

The Sand King deposit has a current Mineral Resource of 2.45Mt @ 3.4 g/t Au for 268,000 ounces (see ASX Announcement dated 3 January 2017) and is one of five key priority mining targets at the Davyhurst Project.

The Open Pit Mining Reserve estimate for the Sand King deposits is 1,300,000t at a grade of 2.6 g/t Au for 110,000 ounces Au (refer to the Reserve Statement at Appendix 3).

Riverina Project – Riverina South Deposit

First pass exploration drilling program returns exciting results including:

  • 13.0m @ 4.59 g/t from 63m (Including 3.0m @ 10.1 g/t)

  • 13.0m @ 3.23 g/t from 37m (Including 2.0m @ 15.8 g/t)

  • 16.0m @ 2.53 g/t from 16m (Including 14.0m @ 2.79 g/t)

  • 3.0m @ 10.55 g/t from 76m (Including 2.0m @ 15.5 g/t)

A follow up drilling program (Phase 2) commenced during the quarter and remained ongoing at quarter end.

The Riverina South exploration program targeted a 1 km long, highly prospective strike extension corridor immediately south of the main Riverina mining area that has been the focus of recent resource development works. The program which included 32 drill holes for 3,639 metres, reaching a maximum depth of 150 metres, is now complete and all results have been received. This first pass wide spaced drilling was conducted on 80 metre line centres and commenced immediately south of the proposed Riverina open pit, continuing south to the British Lion prospect.

This initial exploration drilling program has extended the mining potential immediately to the south of the Main Mining Area at Riverina and further enhanced the prospectively of a 1 km zone that lies between the Main Mining Area at Riverina and the British Lion prospect. Other historical drilling results from these areas include 14m @ 3.2g/t from 52m, 4m @ 5.3g/t from 59m, 18m @ 2.4g/t from 12m and 4m @ 3.2g/t from 35m .

A follow up drilling program (Phase 2) is closing down the drill spacing to 40 metre line spacing with some additional exploration holes planned to cover potential strike variations and extensions.

  1. All Mineral Resources listed above, with the exception of the Missouri, Sand King, Riverina, Waihi, Callion & Golden Eagle Mineral Resources, were prepared previously and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004 (refer Swan Gold Mining Limited Prospectus released to the market on 13 February 2013). These Mineral Resources have not been updated in accordance with JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was first reported.

  2. The Riverina, Waihi, Sand King, Missouri and Callion Open Pit Mineral Resource Estimates are reported within a A$2,400/oz pit shell above 0.5g/t. The Riverina, Waihi, Sand King, Missouri, Callion and Golden Eagle Underground Mineral Resource Estimates are reported from material outside a A$2,400 pit shell and above 2.0 g/t.

Notes:

  1. The table contains rounding adjustments to two significant figures and does not total exactly.

  2. This Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes and the application of modifying factors for mining dilution and ore loss. 3. For the open pit Ore Reserve dilution skins were applied to the undiluted LUC Mineral Resource estimate at zero grade. The in-pit global dilution is estimated to be 29% at Sand King, 43% at Missouri, 22% at Riverina, 13% at Waihi and 23% at Callion all of which were applied at zero grade. The lower dilution at Riverina, Waihi and Callion reflecting the softer lode boundary and allows for inherent dilution within the lode wireframe. All Inferred Mineral Resources were considered as waste at zero grade.

  3. The Open Pit Ore Reserve was estimated using incremental cut-off grades specific to location and weathering classification. They range from 0.54 g/t to 0.69 g/t Au and are based on a price of A$2100 per ounce and include ore transport, processing, site overheads and selling costs and allow for process recovery specific to the location and domain and which range from 85% (Sand King fresh ore) to 95%.

  4. Approximately 100,000 t at 1.8 g/t at Riverina was downgraded from Proved to Probable due to uncertainty at the time surrounding metallurgical recovery. Subsequent test work estimated the Riverina recoveries to be 90.1%, 97.6% and 94.3% for oxide, transition and fresh, respectively.

  5. The underground Ore Reserve was estimated from practical mining envelopes derived from expanded wireframes to allow for unplanned dilution. A miscellaneous unplanned dilution factor of 5% at zero grade was also included. The global dilution factor was estimated to be 32% with an average grade of 0.77 g/t Au.

  6. The underground Ore Reserve was estimated using stoping cut-off of 2.7 g/t Au which allows for ore drive development, stoping and downstream costs such as ore haulage, processing, site overheads and selling costs. An incremental cut-off grade of 0.7 g/t Au was applied to ore drive development and considers downstream costs only. Cut-off grades were derived from a base price of A$2100 per ounce and allow for an assumed process recovery of 92%. Subsequent test work estimated the Golden Eagle fresh recovery to be 90.6%.
