Wattle Dam - Diamond Drilling Results

  • Drilling is designed to test the limits of the alteration zone and

  • High Grade define mine design. Seeing visible

  • Mineralisation A gold adds to confidence

  • Block A and B had one +500 gram metre hole and ten +100

  • B gram metre holes (Grade = 21 g/t Au)

  • Block C and D has seven +500

  • C metre holes 3 +

  • gram (including 1500 metre and seven gram holes)

  • +100 gram metre holes

  • D � Conclusion - rade is ex ected to g p

  • remain robust over the next 2.5 years of mining

  • Open at depth

Projects – Mt Magnet (100% owned)

  • Significant past gold producer in excess of 5m ounces

  • � Multiple deposits with majority of old mined in banded iron

  • g

  • � Existing infrastructure includes 1.7mtpa plant (replacement value A$100m)

  • to commence in

  • Mining August and first gold pour January 2012

  • Production plan of 520 , 000 oz over 6 years at 1.7 g/t - no third party royalties

  • Ramelius Resources Limited: Diggers & Dealers Presentation 2011 Page 12

Mt Magnet – Project Rationale

Four good reasons to buy the Mt Magnet gold project:

  • Near production gold project in a high gold price environment

  • Will be only regional mill for 200km – a strategic asset

  • Ore deposits are robust and mine geology well understood

  • Mt Magnet is a large gold system, with potential for new discoveries

  • Project now ( assumin g g old p rice A $ 1300 ) p roduction of 520 , 000 oz over 6 years with cash flow of $185m after capital

  • Potential Project Upside (Gold Price $1450) (assuming gold price of A$1450) production of 520,000 oz over 6 years with cash flow of $250m after capital

  • Potential Project Upside (Gold Price $1450 + new discovery) production of +520,000 oz over 6+ years with increased cash flows
