REBECCA DEPOSIT UNDERPINS COMMERCIAL POTENTIAL OF THE PROJECT

Outstanding single pit, robust and open gold deposit

  • Rebecca Resource estimate: 20.4Mt @ 1.3g/t Au for 840koz, including Indicated of 13.6Mt @ 1.5g/t for 640koz
  • Resource estimate is conservative due to only being reported within optimised pit shell @ A$2,250/oz

Strong metallurgical results

  • Stacked, strike continuous mineralised structures to 30m true width plus higher grade zones, points to >90% recovery
  • Drilling at 25m x 50m spacing provides strong geological and Resource confidence

Growth potential

  • Recent drilling results such as 10m @ 7.68g/t and 7.4m @ 4.70g/t1 exhibit potential to increase Resource within optimised pit shell
  • Ramp-up of deeper diamond drill exploration for higher grade mineralisation outside of the optimised pit shell may unlock future underground potential

STUDIES JUST STARTING, WITH EXCEPTIONAL EXPLORATION POTENTIAL

  • 815,000oz Indicated MRE supports robust potential mining scenarios
    • Preliminary evaluation work initiated
    • Results to feed into engineering and mine planning options
  • Additional technical studies underway including:
    • Environmental studies field flora & fauna work in progress
    • Metallurgy (>90% recoveries to date) with 6 x HQ diamond holes completed
    • Engineering options analysis, 1st pass practical pit design & scheduling
    • TSF and site design preliminary layouts
    • Hydrology with 6 x dedicated RC water monitor bores, cased & flow tested
  • Promising results from regional targets, including the Cleo discovery
    • Multiple structural and geochemical targets remain untested below transported, leached cover materials
    • Ongoing infill drilling at the Cleo discovery (1.5km from Rebecca) to transition to Resource status, including hits of 38m @ 2.0g/t Au, 2m @ 9.39g/t Au, 5m @ 3.76g/t Au, 5m @ 4.24g/t Au in anomalous zones of 115m @ 0.51g/t Au1
    • Exploration drilling to continue search for new shallow / higher grade material over >6km trend to supplement existing MRE
