RAMELIUS RESOURCES LIMITED
2014 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the 12th Annual General Meeting of Ramelius Resources Limited.
Present with me today are my fellow directors, Mr Kevin Lines and Mr Mike Bohm, our Company Secretary Mr Dom Francese and also Mr Mark Zeptner, who in June 2014 was appointed as our new CEO.
2013/14 was a challenging year for Ramelius, a year in which the gold mining industry experienced continued market volatility and lower sentiment towards gold producers. Gold prices fluctuated between a high of approximately A$1,590 and a low of A$1,327; ultimately finishing the year at A$1,396. The gold industry saw some corporate consolidations and mine closures and many companies reported large impairments to the value of their assets. Ramelius was not immune from the difficult trading conditions booking a $59.8 million non-cash impairment to the carrying value of its assets, $12.6 million to write down inventory and reporting an after tax loss for the financial year of $85.5 million. Although this was a disappointing result, shareholders should note that we have undertaken some cost cutting measures during 2014 which, subject to any further significant deterioration in the gold price, should result in a much better year ahead for Ramelius.
In looking to the future, it is also worth reflecting on a number of positive achievements by your Company.
Despite lower gold prices and the associated difficult trading conditions, Ramelius was still able to continue its gold producing operations and realise an average gold price of A$1,404 per ounce for the financial year which generated a cash flow of $130 million from the sale of 92,829 ounces of gold. This compared to $134 million in the previous year from a lower quantity of 86,284 ounces of gold.
In the 2013/14 financial year Ramelius expended $9.5 million to complete the acquisition of the high grade Vivien gold project having earlier paid a deposit of $0.5 million. A significant amount of work has been undertaken on this project located near Leinster in Western Australia. A Bankable Feasibility Study was completed in May 2014 that envisages a total mining inventory of 451,000 tonnes at 7.6g/t for 109,000 ounces of gold[1] .
Importantly, at 30 June 2014 Ramelius still had cash at bank of $12.4 million and at 30 September 2014 this had been slightly increased to $12.7 million after outlaying $4.05 million to acquire the Kathleen Valley high grade gold project.
In August 2014 Ramelius closed out a $16 million gold pre-payment facility with Deutsche Bank by successfully completing the repayment of the facility amount in gold over 10 months.
During 2013/14 Ramelius achieved the development of two new open pit gold mines at Western Queen South and Coogee adding to gold production from the Galaxy gold mining operation at Mt Magnet. The amount of gold extracted from the high grade Coogee mine was approximately 30% more than forecast and represented a pleasing result.
I will shortly hand over to our CEO, Mr Mark Zeptner who will provide a more detailed presentation on the activities of Ramelius but before doing so, I would like to leave you with a longer term perspective of Ramelius and our strategy for taking your Company forward.
Ramelius has in the past decade evolved from being an explorer to a gold producer. The Company has successfully demonstrated its ability to develop gold deposits both as open pit and underground operations as was the case with our very successful Wattle Dam gold mine. More recently the Company progressed to become a multi-mine producer with mining operations at Mt Magnet, Western Queen South and Coogee. Although Mt Magnet has proven to be more challenging than originally expected, our focus for the current financial year at Mt Magnet is on the Saturn and Mars pits where mining is expected to yield higher ore grades at or near the base of these pits. All current indications are that Mt Magnet will this year prove to be profitable.
Ramelius also has two new high grade gold development projects in the pipeline, Vivien and Kathleen Valley. We have environmental approvals for the Vivien underground gold mine already in place and have recently selected PYBAR Mining Services as the preferred mining contractor. In addition, we are progressing the high grade Kathleen Valley gold project with a drilling program proposed before the end of 2014 and plan to undertake additional work so that we can be in a position to announce an initial Ore Reserve by March 2015 and have potential mining studies completed towards the middle of 2015.
Vivien and Kathleen Valley are both near term potential development projects that are expected to be lower cost profitable operations that will add to current gold production in the next few years.
Your directors will look for other opportunities that may become available in its efforts to add to these assets and grow your Company.
Ramelius will also continue its exploration activities in its quest to make another significant discovery as was the case with Wattle Dam a decade ago. In May this year we entered into an exciting farm-in and joint venture agreement with Tychean Resources Limited giving us the opportunity to earn an 85% interest in the Tanami gold project in the Northern Territory by exploration expenditure of $500,000 over 3 years. Although our minimum exploration commitment is only $100,000 within 2 years, this deal provides Ramelius with a unique opportunity to explore more than 1,700km[2] in a significant but under-explored gold province on tenements located within 100km of Newmont’s 4.5 million plus ounce Callie gold mine.
We also have exploration drilling programs planned for our Vivien Gem and Coogee Extensions projects in Western Australia as well as the Moonlight Creek project in Queensland.
Your directors believe there is real upside potential for Ramelius, particularly if the gold price improves and/or the Australian dollar depreciates against the US dollar, in other words we look forward to a downward movement in the exchange rate.
I take this opportunity to thank the Board, our CEO, Company Secretary and all the Ramelius team for their efforts during the past year.
I also thank all our shareholders for their continuing loyalty and support, especially those here today.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your attention.

² For detailed information relating to Vivien Mineral Resources see ASX release (RMS) 3 Sept 2014, ‘Resources and Reserves Statement’.
³ Vivien Production Target based on Ore Reserves plus a small proportion of Inferred Mineral Resource (7% oz). For detailed information relating to Vivien Mining Inventory and Ore Reserve see ASX release (RMS) 30 May 2014, ‘Vivien Gold Mine Feasibility Completed’.
⁴ Kathleen Valley Project production target is based on a mining scoping study based on Indicated (48% oz) and Inferred (52% oz) Mineral Resources. For detailed information relating to the Mineral Resource see ASX release (RMS) 3 Sept 2014, ‘Resources and Reserves Statement’. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.
