Production Targets* - 4 Year Plan

==> picture [77 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

New 4 Year Plan using primarily Ore Reserves & Indicated Resources (90%) with further extensions to come

==> picture [589 x 290] intentionally omitted <==

*[1,2] FY2019 & FY2020 production targets for Mt Magnet & Vivien contain Inferred Resources (10%), refer to slide 24 for further details. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of indicated mineral resources or that the production target itself will be realised.

Production Targets, Mineral Resources & Ore Reserves Note

==> picture [77 x 76] intentionally omitted <==

For detailed information relating to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves see ASX release (RMS) 10 Sept 2015, ‘Resources and Reserves Statement’.

¹ Vivien Production Target based on (by ounces) Ore Reserves (55%), Indicated Mineral Resources (22%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (23%). There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that exploration work will result in the determination of indicated resources or that the Production Target will be realised. The stated Production Target is based on the company’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.

² Mt Magnet Production Target based on (by ounces) Ore Reserves (73%), Indicated Mineral Resources (22%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (5%). There is a low level of geological confidence associated with inferred mineral resources and there is no certainty that exploration work will result in the determination of indicated resources or that the Production Target will be realised. The stated Production Target is based on the company’s current expectations of future results or events and should not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.

The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this presentation and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed.
