Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains certain forward looking statements with respect to Ramelius Resources Limited’s (Ramelius or the Company) financial condition, results of operations, production targets, exploration targets and other matters that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or achievements could be significantly different from those expressed in or implied by those forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are beyond the control of Ramelius that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward looking statements contained herein. The potential quantity and grade of the exploration target at Morning Star Deeps[2] is conceptual in nature as, to date, there has been no exploration drilling below 1,200mbs to estimate a Mineral Resource to 1,500mbs and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resources. Ramelius gives no warranties in relation to the information and statements within this presentation.
Competent Persons Statement
The Information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves is based on information compiled by Kevin Seymour (Exploration Results), Rob Hutchison (Mineral Resources) and Duncan Coutts (Ore Reserves), who are Competent Persons and Members of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Kevin Seymour, Rob Hutchison and Duncan Coutts are full-time employees of the company and have sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Kevin Seymour, Rob Hutchison and Duncan Coutts consent to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which it appears.
Production Targets
Production targets presented for the Vivien[1] project include Inferred Mineral Resources. For details covering the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve classifications and proportions relating to the production targets refer to slide 29. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to establish sufficient confidence that this target will be met.

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) 30 September 2016, ‘Resources and Reserves Statement’ and ASX Release (RMS) 31 January 2017, ‘December 2016 Quarterly Activities Report’.
¹ Vivien Production Target based on (by ounces) Ore Reserves (55%), Indicated Mineral Resources (39%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (6%). 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 Morning Star Deeps Exploration Target currently has no drilling between 1,200mbs and 1,600mbs. The target, based upon an extrapolation of the mined lodes within the historical underground mine will be tested by two deep parent diamond drill holes and approximately 20 daughter holes (wedges off the parents) that are designed to pierce the projected lode positions on nominal 40m centres, over 400 vertical metres, from 1,200mbs to 1,600mbs. The timeframe required to complete the drilling programme with one diamond drill rig is estimated to be eight months. Diamond drilling commenced in late January 2017. The grade range is based upon historical underground mine performance of the Star Decline depicted in Slide 16 until the closure of the Morning Star mine in 2005. Limited previous drilling to 1,200mbs (as previously reported – see ASX Release (RMS) 31 January 2017, ‘December 2016 Quarterly Activities Report’) confirms the continuity of gold mineralisation below the limit of historical underground mining to 980mbs.
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.
