OPERATIONS

Mt Magnet Gold Mine (WA)

Mining of the Titan open pit cutback reached the base of the previous pit in March 2017 and saw a significant jump in high-grade ore production. At Blackmans, production slowed toward the end of the quarter when a switch from 100-tonne capacity truck fleet to the 50-tonne fleet was made and the pit ramp re-graded. Several rain events occurred during the quarter that led to minor delays in mining or ore haulage. An additional 88,900 tonnes @ 1.6 g/t of shallow laterite ore has been defined on the immediate north end of the pit. An amendment to the Mining Proposal has been submitted for mining of the zone in the current mining program, with approval being received after the end of the quarter.

Increased high grade ore availability from Titan means that low grade ore is now being stockpiled, rather than forming part of the mill blend, and mill grades have improved correspondingly.

Figure 2: Mt Magnet key mining & exploration areas

The Perseverance pit was completed in February. Final pit production of 1.11Mt at 1.75g/t for 62,577oz agreed closely with the pre-mining reserve. Claimed high-grade ore mined at Mt Magnet was 420,378 tonnes @ 1.62 g/t for 21,870 ounces with mill reconciled production (including the addition of stockpiled and Titan low grade) of 440,834 tonnes @ 1.35 g/t for 17,287 ounces recovered.

Mill production was interrupted for two days in late March by an unscheduled replacement of the ball mill pinion bearing (after 2 years in service). This, along with lower grades than expected from Blackmans and reduced production from Vivien in preparation for major stoping, meant overall production was lower than planned. Production outlook for the next few quarters looks very positive. Total mill production (refer Figure 5), including Vivien ore, was 483,882 tonnes @ 1.93 g/t for 27,627 ounces recovered at 92.2% recovery, with overall mill throughput at near-record levels.

Figure 3: Titan open pit cutback in March, looking east

Figure 4: Blackmans open pit in March, looking north

Gold production for the quarter (refer Figure 6) was below Guidance of 30-34,000 ounces, with 28,083 ounces of fine gold poured for the Quarter. Cash costs for the period increased to A$1,115/oz whilst AISC decreased to A$1,257/oz (Guidance A$1,100/oz). This year-to-date gold production therefore stands at 95,629 ounces at an AISC of A$1,169/oz.

Production for the June 2017 Quarter is expected to be between 30,000 and 34,000 ounces. The midpoint of forecast production (32,000oz) is expected to be delivered at an AISC of A$1,200/oz.

Vivien Gold Mine (WA)

An updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve was generated at the start and end of the Quarter respectively. Total resources are now 854,000 tonnes @ 7.2 g/t for 198,000 ounces and Probable ore reserve is 525,000 tonnes @ 7.3 g/t for 123,000 ounces. For full details see ASX Releases 'December 2016 Quarterly Activities Report, 31 Jan 2017' and 'New Ore Reserves at Vivien and Mt Magnet & Exploration Update, 04 April 2017'.

The new reserve represents a sizeable increase on the feasibility study reserve of 400,000 tonnes @ 7.9 g/t for 101,000 ounces, after considering reconciled production of 32,410 ounces has been achieved to end of December 2016 and depleted from the resource. Mine life will be extended to at least late 2019 and project NPV is boosted substantially.

A major focus for the quarter was the completion of the 300 level benching and placement of a cemented rock fill floor pillar (refer Figure 7). This pillar will underpin stoping and backfilling of the 360-340-320-300 stoping block. Ore development also saw the completion of the 280 and 260 ore levels. Due to these activities and their timing, ore production during the quarter was lower. Claimed mined production of high grade ore was 41,847 tonnes @ 8.76 g/t for 11,781 ounces. Ore haulage continued throughout the quarter and Vivien attributed mill production was 43,048 tonnes @ 7.86 g/t for 10,340 recovered ounces.

With the re-commencement of stoping at the end of March 2017, ore production will be boosted strongly in the next quarter and remain so for much of the planned mine life.

Deep exploration underground drilling is expected to be carried out in the June 2017 Quarter, with drill sites ready for the arrival of the drilling contractor on the 1st May 2017.

PRODUCTION TARGETS

Figure 8: FY2017 Group Production Profile

LIFE OF MINE PLAN

The new Life-of-Mine (LoM) plan currently being developed includes Vivien's new mine plan and new open pits at Mt Magnet including Milky Way, Stellar, Stellar West, Shannon, Brown Hill and Vegas as well as completion of current pits at both Titan and Blackmans.

Resource modelling work at Morning Star suggests a sizable open pit mineral resource will be generated when this work is completed. Ramelius believes that it is best to incorporate the latest Morning Star open pit resources into the LoM, whilst leaving the potential underground resources at Morning Star, or Water Tank Hill and Galaxy for that matter, for a later version. For this reason, the new LoM and updated Morning Star mineral resources are pending but expected to be released shortly.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Water Tank Hill Project (WA)

The Water Tank Hill project lies 1.5km west of the town of Mt Magnet (refer Figure 2). The deposit is located 300m west of the St George deposit, which was mined by open pit and then underground methods between 2005 and 2007. Gold mineralisation at the Water Tank Hill deposit occurs within a fold and fault thickened portion of the Banded Iron Formation host rocks.

Current Ore Reserves, released in September 2016, have a combined total for Water Tank Hill and St George of 335,000 tonnes @ 4.9 g/t for 53,000 ounces (refer ASX Release; 'Resources and Reserves Statement' 30 September 2016).

Good progress was made on capital development at Water Tank Hill / St George. Link drives being mined from the rehabilitated upper St George decline are around 60% complete. The existing St George vent raise rehabilitation was completed and a new vent fan installed. Initial ore development is expected in late May 2017.

The Quarter saw key sections of the St George decline and ventilation drives rehabilitated with new development advancing towards the Water Tank Hill lode itself (refer Figure 9). The first development ore from the Water Tank Hill orebody is expected in the June 2017 Quarter.

An infill diamond drilling program is also planned to commence in the June 2017 Quarter to assist with defining the lower lode zones at Water Tank Hill.

Figure 9: Water Tank Hill underground mine, showing rehab & development progress

Cosmos Project (WA)

Following completion of further heritage surveys, geotechnical and environmental test work a Mining Proposal Application was submitted to the DMP for the Cosmos project (collectively the Milky Way, Stellar, Stellar West and Shannon open pits), plus the Brown Hill and Vegas pits at the Galaxy area (refer Figure 10).

The Cosmos area is located 3.6 km south west of the Mt Magnet Checkers mill and 1.5 km south of the Galaxy area. The Milky Way, Stellar and Shannon pits were previously mined in the 1990's. Gold mineralisation occurs as stockwork or shear hosted sericite-silica-pyrite veining and alteration within felsic porphyry units.

Production from the Cosmos area is expected to underpin Mt Magnet operations over the next 2-3 years. New Probable Ore Reserves were announced for Stellar, Stellar West, Shannon, Brown Hill and Vegas during the quarter and totaled 1.68 Mt at 1.7 g/t for 94,000 ounces. These add to the previously reported Milky Way Probable Ore Reserve of 1.88 Mt at 1.3 g/t for 78,000 ounces. For full details see announcements 'New Ore Reserves at Vivien and Mt Magnet & Exploration Update, 04 April 2017' and 'Resource and Reserve Statement', 30 September 2016, respectively.

EXPLORATION SUMMARY

Ramelius currently has a suite of gold exploration projects at various stages of advancement, as shown on Figure 11.

Exploration during the Quarter continued to focused on step out RC drilling and reconnaissance Aircore drilling at Mt Magnet.

Figure 11: Current Brownfields and Greenfields Exploration Projects location plan

Mt Magnet Gold Project (WA)

An aggregate of 17,870m of exploratory RC drilling (GXRC1531 – 1631) has been completed throughout Mt Magnet during the quarter. Further, Ramelius has completed 3,262m in Resource Development RC drilling within and below several historical open pits (GXRC0522 – 547) and 20,619m of Aircore drilling (GXAC0688- 1040) in addition to two wedges (MSD0056B and C) off the 1,425m deep parent diamond drill hole (MSD0056A) targeting the Morning Star Deeps during the same period. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, a further two wedges (MSD0056D and E) have been completed with new results now available for reporting.

See Attachments 1, 2, 3 and 4 for a complete listing of significant drill hole intersections referred to in this report. Refer also to the Company's ASX Release dated 4 April 2017 – New Ore Reserves at Vivien and Mt Magnet & Exploration Update for more details.

Aircore drilling, RC drilling and the Morning Star Deeps diamond drilling are all scheduled to continue at Mt Magnet during the June 2017 Quarter.

MORNING STAR IN-PIT DRILLING / BLACK CAT SOUTH OPEN PIT

Infill RC drilling has targeted the base of the Morning Star pit (refer Figure 12), the saddle between the Morning Star pit and the Black Cat South pit, in addition to the Eddie Carson Lode and the Northern Ramp access at Morning Star. Encouragingly, broad zones of strike continuous gold mineralisation were intersected along the western limb of the Morning Star Lodes, 20m below the current pit floor (refer Figure 13).

Better results include:

41m at 1.95 g/t Au from 11m in GXRC0536 20m at 4.20 g/t Au from 24m in GXRC0540

The drilling below the Black Cat South pit intersected multiple lode positions including a hangingwall porphyry dominated lode, plus the main Evening Star Chert Lode, before the chert is truncated and variable footwall lodes hosted by volcaniclastics and shale (interpreted as facies variants to the Evening Star Chert) occur south of the Black Cat South pit towards Bullocks. A long section of the drilling results completed to date is presented in Figure 14. Better drill intersections include:

  • 7m at 3.25 g/t Au from 109m in GXRC1540
  • 7m at 4.06 g/t Au from 209m in GXRC1541
  • 3m at 15.95 g/t Au from 119m in GXRC1578

MORNING STAR UPPER ZONE

Deeper exploratory RC drilling was completed within 400m below surface and 80m north of the Morning Star portal. The drilling aimed to scope the potential for additional high grade lodes to be developed within sheared felsic porphyry/volcaniclastic host rocks. A reconnaissance drill hole into the target (GXRC1464) had previously returned 10m @ 6.56 g/t from 290m. Extensive shearing and sericite alteration was observed in the current drilling. GXRC1603 was targeting the zone 180m further north and intersected 2m at 4.80 g/t Au from 276m, immediately east of the Latecomer Fault. Further north GXRC1601 intersected 5m at 4.41 g/t Au from 166m, again immediately east of the Latecomer Fault. These intersections may represent the northern extension of the mineralised shear intersected in GXRC1464. Assay results from critical infill holes GXRC1599, GXRC1607 and 1609 remain awaited. The drill data will be presented once all assay results are available.

MORNING STAR DEEPS DRILLING

Deep exploratory navigational diamond drilling commenced during the quarter with the aim of delineating resource extensions below the current limit of underground mining (980mbs) down to approximately 1,500mbs. Initially the drilling has targeted the interpreted high grade keel of the Morning Star deposit where previous deep diamond drilling confirmed the depth continuity of the high-grade gold mineralisation. Better historical (Hill 50 Gold NL - circa 1992) diamond drill results, from the deepest hole, included 16m at 9.05 g/t Au. Drilling completed to date has shown good continuity of the mineralisation at depth. Diamond wedges MSD0056A and B failed to intersect the high grade mineralisation but wedge MSD0056C intersected significant high grade gold mineralisation including 4.9m at 26.49 g/t Au from 1,277.30m. New results available after the quarters' end include 6.89m at 8.78 g/t Au from 1,355.81m in wedge E.

The plunge of the high-grade shoots is depicted in Figure 15. The mineralised keel intersections sit along the folded contact between basaltic flows and andesitic tuffs and is annotated as "KL" in Attachment 3. Younging indicators suggest the rocks are overturned, hence hangingwall lodes are annotated "U1", "U2" and "U3" as they lie above the contact in the overlying (older) basaltic flows whilst footwall lodes are annotated "L1", "L2" and "L3" as they lie below the contact in the underlying (younger) andesitic tuffs and flows. Diamond drilling is continuing.

PARIS OPEN PIT

RC drilling was completed under the shallow Paris open pit located 1km south of Morning Star, half way towards the Water Tank Hill/St George portal. The mineralisation at Paris is hosted by banded iron formation, believed to be the strike extension of the Nathan BIF at Morning Star that extends southwards to Water Tank Hill/St George. Very encouraging gold intersections were encountered from this first pass test and additional step out drilling is planned (refer Figure 16). Better results include:

  • 22m at 5.85 g/t Au from 31m in GXRC0530, incl. 7m at 13.05 g/t Au
  • 22m at 1.77 g/t Au from 25m in GXRC0533

BOOGARDIE BASIN – AIRCORE DRILLING

Regional Aircore drilling traverses continued throughout the Boogardie Basin during the Quarter. The Aircore drilling is targeting porphyry-ultramafic contacts in areas of ineffective historical drilling as well as targeting shallow plus 100ppb gold in regolith anomalies and/or historical bottom of shallow RAB/Aircore anomalies where present (refer Figure 17).

ZEUS PROSPECT

Exploration drilling adjacent to the Stellar West deposit has delineated significant quartz vein hosted gold mineralisation along the western flank of the Zeus Porphyry. A single RC drill hole (GXRC1492) returned a highly encouraging intersection of 8m at 12.20 g/t Au from 65m to end of hole associated with the abundant quartz veining within altered porphyry on the contact with ultramafics. This intersection correlates well with the significant porphyry hosted Aircore drill results up to 19m at 1.31 g/t Au from 32m located 140m further north (refer Figure 18).

Subsequent RC drilling has continued to show very encouraging intersections, including 15m at 4.10 g/t Au in GXRC1543 and 20m at 1.12 g/t Au from 70m in GXRC1542, within broader, anomalous, mineralised porphyry intervals up to 71m at 1.43 g/t Au from 54m in GXRC1543. Step out Aircore drilling continues to return good results including 23m at 1.28 g/t Au from 36m and 28m at 1.97 g/t Au from 32m.

Data compilation is continuing and the significance of these drill intersection will be known once all the results are returned from the laboratory. True widths remain undetermined at this stage given the multiple shear/lode orientations interpreted in the data to date. Deeper RC drill testing is scheduled for the June 2017 Quarter.

The gold geochemistry is overlying a 1VD-RTP aeromagnetic image and the mapped/interpreted extent of the felsic porphyry intrusions; as constrained by the magnetic data and drilling to date. Litho-structural corridors favourable for the ingress and deposition of significant gold mineralisation are now being highlighted. The confluence of structures and/or their intersection with buried porphyry contacts represent primary targets for shallow plunging ore shoots to be developed. This interpretive 3-D modelling is ongoing. The newly discovered Zeus Prospect (highlighted) is shown in the top left hand corner of this figure and now extends over 500m on or near the confluence of the NE trending shear and an inferred NNW trending thrust.

Tanami Joint Venture (NT) – Ramelius 85%

Geological and regolith mapping recommenced over the Highland Rocks ELs late in the quarter ahead of infill soil sampling over the number of low order (plus 2ppb Au) gold in soil anomalies reported from the project last year. Results from the infill soil sampling along with planned reconnaissance Aircore drilling are expected to be reported in the June 2017 Quarter.

It was anticipated the balance of the Tanami joint venture ELA's would be granted ahead of the start of the 2017 field season commencing but they remain in application.

Coogee Gold Project (WA)

The Company is in the process of divesting its Coogee Gold Project to a third party.

CORPORATE & FINANCE

Gold sales for the March 2017 Quarter were A$45.3M at an average price of A$1,600/oz.

At 31 March 2017, the Company had A$81.4M of cash and A$8.8M of gold bullion on hand for a total of A$90.2M. This represents a A$6.3M decrease from the December 2016 Quarter (A$95.0M) after capital development expenditure comprising Water Tank Hill decline rehab & decline development (A$4.6M) & exploration (A$4.9M).

The A$10M financing facility secured with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) in June 2015 remains undrawn.

At 31 March 2017, forward gold sales consisted of 103,000 ounces of gold at an average price of A$1,690/oz over the period to June 2019, including 20,000 ounces added subsequent to the end of Quarter for the period from July 2018 to June 2019. The hedge book summary is shown below in Table 2;

Reported significant gold assay intersections (using a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut) are reported using 1m downhole intervals at plus 0.5 g/t gold, with up to 2m of internal dilution. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. NSR denotes no significant results. True widths of the reported mineralised intersection remain unknown given the paucity of deeper drilling at this stage. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50. Abn hole denotes hole was abandoned due to excessive deviation away from its intended target.

Reported significant gold assay intersections (using a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut) are reported using geological contacts or up to 1m downhole intervals at plus 0.5 g/t gold, with up to 2m of internal dilution. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. NSR denotes no significant results. True widths of the reported downhole intersections are estimated to be +90% of the reported downhole intersections depending upon the lift of the drill holes. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50. Location of holes are annotated in the table. See the report text for a description on the annotation of the various lode positions

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Samplingtechniques Nature and quality of sampling (egcut channels, random chips, orspecific specialised industry standardmeasurement tools appropriate to theminerals under investigation, such asdown hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc). Theseexamples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning ofsampling.Include reference to measures takento ensure sample representivity andthe appropriate calibration of anymeasurement tools or systems used.Aspects of the determination ofmineralisation that are Material tothe Public Report.In cases where 'industry standard'work has been done this would berelatively simple (eg 'reversecirculation drilling was used to obtain1 m samples from which 3 kg waspulverised to produce a 30 g chargefor fire assay'). In other cases moreexplanation may be required, such aswhere there is coarse gold that hasinherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types(eg submarine nodules) may warrantdisclosure of detailed information. At Mt Magnet potential gold mineralisedintervals are systematically sampled usingindustry standard 1m intervals, collected fromreverse circulation (RC) drill holes and 4mcomposites from reconnaissance Aircoretraverses. Diamond holes may be sampledalong sub 1m geological contacts, otherwise 1mintervals are the default.Drill hole locations were designed to allow forspatial spread across the interpretedmineralised zone. All RC samples werecollected and riffle split to 3‐4kg samples on 1mmetre intervals. Aircore samples are spearedfrom piles on the ground and are compositedinto 4m intervals before despatching to thelaboratory. Single metre bottom of hole Aircoresamples are collected for trace elementdeterminations. Diamond core is half cut alongdownhole orientation lines. Half core is sent tothe laboratory for analysis and the other half isretained for future reference.Standard fire assaying was employed using a50gm charge with an AAS finish for all diamond,RC and Aircore chip samples. Trace elementdetermination was undertaken using a multi (4)acid digest and ICP‐ AES finish.
Drillingtechniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,open‐hole hammer, rotary air blast,auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details(eg core diameter, triple or standardtube, depth of diamond tails, face‐sampling bit or other type, whethercore is oriented and if so, by whatmethod, etc). Drilling was completed using best practice NQdiamond core, 5 ¾" face sampling RC drillinghammers for all RC drill holes and 3" Aircorebits.
Drill samplerecovery Method of recording and assessingcore and chip sample recoveries andresults assessed.Measures taken to maximise samplerecovery and ensure representativenature of the samples. All diamond core is rejoined to ensure any coreloss, if present is fully accounted for. Bulk RCand Aircore drill holes samples were visuallyinspected by the supervising geologist to ensureadequate clean sample recoveries wereachieved. Note Aircore drilling while clean is

Anywet, contaminated or poor sample returns areflagged and recorded in the database to ensureno sampling bias is introduced.Zones of poor sample return both in RC andAircore are recorded in the database and crosschecked once assay results are received fromthe laboratory to ensure no misrepresentationof sampling intervals has occurred. Of note,excellent RC drill recovery is reported from allRC holes. Reasonable recovery is noted for allAircore samples. Zero sample recovery isachieved while navi drilling. The navi lengthsare kept to a minimum and avoided when closeto potentially mineralised units.
Logging Whether core and chip samples havebeen geologically and geotechnicallylogged to a level of detail to supportappropriate Mineral Resourceestimation, mining studies andmetallurgical studies.Whether logging is qualitative orquantitative in nature. Core (orcostean, channel, etc) photography.The total length and percentage ofthe relevant intersections logged. All drill samples are geologically logged on siteby professional geologists. Details on the hostlithologies, deformation, dominant mineralsincluding sulphide species and alterationminerals plus veining are recorded relationally(separately) so the logging is interactive and notbiased to lithology.Drill hole logging is qualitative on visualrecordings of rock forming minerals andquantitative on estimates of mineralabundance.The entire length of each drill hole isgeologically logged.

The technique involves standard fireassays using a 50gm sample charge with a leadflux (decomposed in the furnace). The prill istotally digested by HCl and HNO3 acids beforemeasurement of the gold determination byAAS. Aqua regia digest is considered adequatefor surface soil sampling.No field analyses of gold grades are completed.Quantitative analysis of the gold content andtrace elements is undertaken in a controlledlaboratory environment.Industry best practice is employed with theinclusion of duplicates and standards asdiscussed above, and used by Ramelius as wellas the laboratory. All Ramelius standards andblanks are interrogated to ensure they lie withinacceptable tolerances. Additionally, samplesize, grind size and field duplicates areexamined to ensure no bias to gold gradesexists.

Mineraltenement andland tenurestatus Type, reference name/number,location and ownership includingagreements or material issues withthird parties such as joint ventures,partnerships, overriding royalties,native title interests, historical sites,wilderness or national park andenvironmental settings.The security of the tenure held at thetime of reporting along with anyknown impediments to obtaining alicence to operate in the area. The results reported in this report are ongranted Mining Leases (ML) owned 100% byRamelius Resources Limited. The Mt Magnettenements are located on pastoral/grazingleases. Heritage surveys are completed prior toany ground disturbing activities in accordancewith Ramelius' responsibilities under theAboriginal Heritage Act.At this time all the tenements are in goodstanding. There are no known impediments toobtaining a licence to operate in the area.
Explorationdone by otherparties Acknowledgment and appraisal ofexploration by other parties. Exploration and mining by other parties hasbeen reviewed and is used as a guide toRamelius' exploration activities. Previousparties have completed shallow RAB, Aircoredrilling and RC drilling and shallow open pit andunderground mining at Morning Star, plusgeophysical data collection and interpretation.This report concerns only exploration resultsgenerated by Ramelius during the Marchquarter 2017 that were not previously reportedto the ASX.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting andstyle of mineralisation. The targeted mineralisation at Morning Star istypical of orogenic structurally controlledArchaean gold lode systems. The mineralisationis controlled by anastomosing shear zonespassing through competent rock units, brittlefracture and stockwork mineralization iscommon on the competent BIF or porphyryrock. The bedrock Morning Star mineralisationcurrently extends over 700m strike and dipssteeply westwards and plunges 60deg to thesouthwest. The historically mined lodes areknown to extend to at least 1km below surface.Mineralisation at Zeus etal is porphyry hostedbut the orientation/style of the mineralization isnot understood at present.

Azimuth is reported in magneticdegrees as the direction the hole is drilled.MGA94 and magnetic degrees vary by <10in theproject area.Down hole length is the distance measuredalong the drill hole trace. Intersection length isthe thickness of an anomalous gold intersectionmeasured along the drill hole trace.Hole length is the distance from the surface tothe end of the hole measured along the drillhole trace.No results currently available from theexploration drilling are excluded from thisreport. Gold grade intersections >0.4 g/t Auwithin 4m Aircore composites or >0.5 g/t Auwithin single metre RC samples (with up to 4mof internal dilution) are considered significant inthe broader mineralised host rocksGold grades greater than 0.5 g/t Au arehighlighted where good continuity of highergrade mineralization is observed.
Dataaggregationmethods In reporting Exploration Results,weighting averaging techniques,maximum and/or minimum gradetruncations (eg cutting of highgrades) and cut‐off grades are usuallyMaterial and should be stated.Where aggregate interceptsincorporate short lengths of highgrade results and longer lengths oflow grade results, the procedure usedfor such aggregation should be statedand some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown indetail.The assumptions used for anyreporting of metal equivalent valuesshould be clearly stated. The first gold assay result received from eachsample reported by the laboratory is tabled inthe list of significant assays. Subsequent repeatanalyses when performed by the laboratory arechecked against the original to ensurerepeatability of the assay results.Weighted average techniques are applied todetermine the grade of the anomalous intervalwhen geological intervals less than 1m havebeen sampled.Exploration drilling results are generallyreported using a 0.1 g/t Au lower cut‐off (asdescribed above and reported in theAttachments) and may include up to 4m ofinternal dilution. Significant resourcedevelopment drill hole assays are reportedgreater than 0.5 or 8.0 g/t Au and are alsoreported separately. For example, the broaderplus 1.0 g/t Au intersection of 6.5m @ 30.5 g/tAu contains a higher grade zone running plus 8g/t Au and is included as 4m @ 48.5 g/t Au.Where extremely high gold intersections areencountered as in this example, the highestgrade sample interval (eg 1.0m @ 150 g/t Au) isalso reported. All assay results are reported to3 significant figures in line with the analyticalprecision of the laboratory techniquesemployed.No metal equivalent reporting is used or

Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths These relationships are particularlyimportant in the reporting ofExploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisationwith respect to the drill hole angle isknown, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, thereshould be a clear statement to thiseffect (eg 'down hole length, truewidth not known'). applied.The intersection length is measured down thelength of the hole and is not usually the truewidth. When sufficient knowledge on thethickness of the intersection is known anestimate of the true thickness is provided in theAttachment.The known geometry of the mineralisation withrespect to the drill holes reported in this reportis not well constrained at this stage given thevariable orientation of ore shoots historicallymined at Morning Star.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (withscales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significantdiscovery being reported These shouldinclude, but not be limited to a planview of drill hole collar locations andappropriate sectional views. Drillhole plan and sectional views of MorningStar/Black Cat South pits have been providedpreviously. Given the interpreted steep dips ofthe mineralisation at Morning Star the sectionalview of the Deeps presentation is currentlyconsidered the best 2‐D representation of theknown spatial extent of the mineralizationintersected to date.
Balancedreporting Where comprehensive reporting of allExploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both lowand high grades and/or widths shouldbe practiced to avoid misleadingreporting of Exploration Results. All drill holes completed to date are reported inthis report and all material intersections asdefined) are reported.
