OPERATIONS SUMMARY

  • Western Australia based gold producer operating from two main production centres - Mt Magnet and Edna May

The Mt Magnet production centre comprises:

  • A number of open pit and underground operations at Mt Magnet itself

  • Complemented by high grade ore hauled from the Vivien underground mine

  • Mt Magnet – 115,000oz Au at an AISC of A$1,150-1,200/oz for FY19[*]

The Edna May production centre comprises:

  • Edna May underground operation, Greenfinch open pit project & stockpiles

  • Edna May – 82,000oz Au at an AISC of A$1,200-1,250/oz for FY19[*]

The Tampia and Marda Projects have been recently acquired

  • Marda is currently being developed, with ore to be hauled to Edna May

  • Tampia to either be developed as a stand-alone project with on-site processing facility or as a satellite ore source for Edna May
