PRODUCTION GUIDANCE & FORWARD OUTLOOK1

1See RMS ASX Release, "June 2020 Quarter Record Production of 86,517oz", 01 July 2020. References to production guidance are based on the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statements contained within, as set out on slides 23-24 and RMS ASX Release, "Ramelius Extends Life of Mine Plan by 34% to 1.45Moz", 30/06/2020

FY2020 production guidance upgraded to 225-230,000oz1

FY2021 production guidance of 260-280,000oz2 (17% growth)

Track record of delivering on production & cost guidance

Penny gold project to commence production in late FY2022

*Years FY2026 to FY2028 currently contain primarily low-grade stockpiles at Mt Magnet that will be processed at end of the current mine life. Production for the three years gradually tails off, with FY2026 at 100koz, FY2027 at 50koz and FY2028 at 30koz.

*The Life of Mine Plan is a Production Target that contains a proportion of Inferred Resources (12%). 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. 1See RMS ASX Release, "Ramelius on Track for Record Quarter of Over 80koz Gold Produced, FY2020 Guidance Upgraded", 22 June 2020
