Notes:

Based on June 2019 Mineral Resource estimate which is depleted to 30th June 2019.

Based on stockpile balance as at 30th June 2019.

All Ore Reserves current as at 30th June 2019.

Variable gold grade cut-off based on recovery of each material type in each deposit: Oxide 0.40 – 0.55 g/t, Transition 0.55 – 0.75 g/t and Fresh 0.50 – 0.60 g/t. Based on 0.40 g/t gold grade cut-off. Inferred Mineral Resource is considered as waste, t : t.

Rounding of numbers to appropriate precisions may have resulted in apparent inconsistencies.

Fobinso mining completed in August 2018.
