SUSTAINABILITY* - STEPPING UP TO THE PLATE

#Results are from Ramelius 2020 Sustainability Report, contained within the 2020 Annual Report and also posted on the Ramelius website

CONSISTENT PRODUCTION GROWTH# WITH EXPANDING MARGINS

  • +20% year-on-year gold production growth FY15-FY21
  • Further growth to 280koz in FY22
  • Consistent AISC profile over first 6 yearsvarying <2.5%
  • Maintaining margins despite COVID-19 related cost increases

*Includes mid-points of production and AISC guidance and a weighted average gold price from the RMS Hedge Book and as assumed A$2,450/oz spot price

#References to production guidance are based on the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Statements contained within, as set out in Appendices and RMS ASX Release, "Ramelius Mine Plan increases 27% to 1.84Moz", 2 August 2021

RESOURCES & RESERVES1

Mineral Resources

  • 110Mt @ 1.6 g/t for 5.4Moz
  • Ore Reserves
    • 17Mt @ 2.0 g/t for 1.1Moz
  • Foundation of 1.84Moz Mine Plan2
    • 92% from Reserves/Indicated Resources
  • Conversion rate ~20%
  • Mining Study timing has led to Resource to Reserve conversion to be seen in 2022 Ore Reserves

1.84 MILLION OUNCE MINE PLAN#

  • 27% increase on FY20 Mine Plan
  • In addition to 1.37Moz produced to date from MM & EM
  • Mt Magnet production centre
    • Vivien extended to end of FY23
    • Galaxy Underground from FY24
    • Eridanus Underground from FY25

Edna May production centre

  • Stage 3 (Scoping Study) from FY24
  • Underground extended to FY25

*Years FY29 to FY30 have been combined. Both years currently contain primarily low-grade stockpiles at Mt Magnet and lower grade material from Edna May Stg 3 cut-back. Production for the two years are 120koz for FY29 and 73koz for FY30.

#The Life of Mine Plan is a Production Target that contains a proportion of Inferred Resources (8%). 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. See RMS ASX Release, "Ramelius Mine Plan increases 27% to 1.84Moz", 2 August 2021

ORE RESERVE & MINERAL RESOURCE CONTRIBUTIONS

  • New Mine Plan is driven from Ore Reserves and Indicated Resources
  • Only 8% of the Mine Plan is derived from Inferred Mineral Resources
  • High confidence plan, especially first four years

*Years FY29 to FY30 have been combined. Both years currently contain primarily low-grade stockpiles at Mt Magnet and lower grade material from Edna May Stg 3 cut-back. Production for the two years are 120koz for FY29 and 73koz for FY30.

MINE PLAN -VISIBILITY & TRANSPARENCY

1.84Moz across 9 years to FY30, which includes a low-grade tail in years 8 & 9

Average AISC over first 7 years of between A$1,390 - 1,490/oz

Capital for all projects included, with Edna May Stage 3 itemised separately

Exploration (A$32.1M in FY22) contributes to mine life extension & delivers "rolling plan"

Notes

Reported significant gold assay intersections (using a 1 g/t Au lower cut) are reported. Gold determination was by Fire Assay using a 50gm charge with AAS finishes and a lower limit of detection of 0.01 ppm Au. No top-cut is applied. NSR denotes no significant results. Coordinates are MGA94-Z50. Eridanus consists of a stockwork vein array hence true widths are variable as noted above.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques •Nature and quality of sampling (egcut channels, random chips, or specific specialisedindustry standardmeasurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning ofsampling.•Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivityand the appropriate calibration ofany measurement tools or systems used.•Aspects of the determination of mineralisationthat are Material to the Public Report.•In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg'reversecirculation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverisedto produce a 30 gcharge for fire assay'). In other casesmore explanation may be required, such as where there is coarsegold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisationtypes (egsubmarinenodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. •At all projects potential gold mineralised and Diamond intervals are systematically sampled using industry standard 1m intervalsor sub 1m intervals to geological control.•Drill hole locations were designed to allow for spatial spread across the interpreted mineralised zone. Diamond core is halfcutalong downhole orientation lines, with the exception of underground diamond drilling. Here whole core is despatched to thelaboratory to maximise the sample size. Otherwise half core is sent to the laboratory for analysis and the other half is retainedfor future reference.•Standard fire assaying was employed using a 50gm charge with an AAS finish for all diamond, RC and Aircorechipsamples. Trace element determination was undertaken using a multi (4) acid digest and ICP-AES finish.
Drilling techniques •Drill type (egcore, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) anddetails (egcore diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). •Drilling was completed using best practice NQ diamond core at Mount Magnet.
Drill sample recovery •Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.•Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.•Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may haveoccurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. •All diamond core is jigsawed to ensure any core loss, if present is fully accounted for and recorded.
Logging •Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail tosupport appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.•Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.•The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. •All drill samples are geologically logged on site by professional geologists. Details on the host lithologies, deformation,dominant minerals including sulphide species and alteration minerals plus veining are recorded relationally (separately) so thelogging is interactive and not biased to lithology.•Drill hole logging is qualitative on visual recordings of rock forming minerals and quantitative on estimates of mineralabundance.•The entire length of each drill hole is geologically logged.
Sub-sampling techniquesand sample preparation •If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.•If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry.•For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.•Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivityof samples.•Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including forinstance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling.•Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. •Duplicate samples are collected as quarter core from every 25th sample•All core samples are pulverized prior to splitting in the laboratory to ensure homogenous samples with 85% passing 75um.200gm is extracted by spatula that is used for the 50gm or 30 gm charge on standard fire assays.•All samples submitted to the laboratory are sorted and reconciled against the submission documents. In addition to duplicates ahigh grade or low grade standard is included every 25th sample, a controlled blank is inserted every 100th sample. Thelaboratory uses barren flushes to clean their pulveriser and their own internal standards and duplicates to ensure industry bestpractice quality control is maintained.•The sample size is considered appropriate for the type, style, thickness and consistency of mineralization.

Quality of assay data andlaboratory tests •The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether thetechnique is considered partial or total.•Nature of quality control procedures adopted (egstandards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ielack of bias) and precision have been established. •The fire assay method is designed to measure the total gold in the diamond core. The technique involves standard fire assaysusing a 50gm or 30 gm sample charge with a lead flux (decomposed in the furnace). The prillis totally digested by HCl and HNO3acids before measurement of the gold determination by AAS.•Industry best practice is employed with the inclusion of duplicates and standards as discussed above and used by Ramelius aswell as the laboratory. All Ramelius standards and blanks are interrogated to ensure they lie within acceptable tolerances.Additionally, sample size, grind size and field duplicates are examined to ensure no bias to gold grades exists.
Verification of samplingand assaying •The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.•The use of twinned holes.•Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical andelectronic) protocols.•Discuss any adjustment to assay data. •Alternative Ramelius personnel have inspected the diamond core in the field to verify the correlation of mineralised zones betweenassay results and lithology, alteration and mineralization.•All holes are digitally logged in the field and all primary data is forwarded to Ramelius' Database Administrator (DBA) in Perthwhere it is imported into Datashed, a commercially available and industry accepted database software package. Assay data iselectronically merged when received from the laboratory. The responsible project geologist reviews the data in the database toensure that it is correct and has merged properly and that all the drill data collected in the field has been captured and entered intothe database correctly.•The responsible geologist makes the DBA aware of any errors and/or omissions to the database and the corrections (if required)are corrected in the database immediately.•No adjustments or calibrations are made to any of the assay data recorded in the database.
Location of data points •Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mineworkings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.•Specification of the grid system used.•Quality and adequacy of topographic control. •All drill hole collars are picked up using accurate DGPS or mine survey control. All down hole surveys are collected usingdownhole Eastman single shot or gyro surveying techniques provided by the drilling contractors.•All Mt Magnet are picked up in MGA94 –Zone 50 grid coordinates.•DGPS RL measurements captured the collar surveys of the drill holes prior to the resource estimation work.
Data spacing anddistribution •Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.•Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and gradecontinuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classificationsapplied.•Whether sample compositing has been applied. •Drilling reported is resource extensional in nature –stepping out at nominal intervals aimed at testing a target concept•Given the previous limited understanding of the target horizons, infill drilling is necessary to help define the continuity ofmineralisation.•No sampling compositing has been applied within key mineralised intervals.
Orientation of data inrelation to geologicalstructure •Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent towhich this is known, considering the deposit type.•If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures isconsidered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. •The core drilling is generally completed orthogonal to the interpreted strike of the target horizon(s) or plunge projection of highergrade shoots. At Eridanus, some drilling is oriented parallel to the strike of the Eridanus Granodiorite but orthogonal to predictedcross cutting lodes. Multiple other directions have also been tested.
Sample security •The measures taken to ensure sample security. •Sample security is integral to Ramelius' sampling procedures. All bagged samples are delivered directly from the field to theassaylaboratory in Perth, whereupon the laboratory checks the physically received samples against Ramelius' samplesubmission/dispatch notes.
Audits or reviews •The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. •Sampling techniques and procedures are reviewed prior to the commencement of new work programmes to ensure adequateprocedures are in place to maximize the sample collection and sample quality on new projects. No external audits have beencompleted to date.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and landtenure status •Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with thirdparties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,wilderness or national park and environmental settings.•The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining alicence to operate in the area. •The results reported in this report are located on granted Mining Leases at Mount Magnet in Western Australia (owned 100% byRamelius Resources Limited's or its 100% owned subsidiaries). The Mt Magnet tenements are located on pastoral/grazing leases.Heritage surveys are completed prior to any ground disturbing activities in accordance with Ramelius' responsibilities under theAboriginal Heritage Act in Australia.•Currently all the tenements are in good standing. There are no known impediments to obtaining a licences to operate in either area.
Exploration done by otherparties •Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. •Exploration and mining by other parties has been reviewed and is used as a guide to Ramelius' exploration activities. Previous partieshave completed RAB, Aircore drilling, RC drilling and Diamond drilling. Open pit and underground mining has previously occurred at MtMagnet. This report concerns exploration results generated by Ramelius up until September 13, 2021, that were not previouslyreported to the ASX.
Geology •Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. •The targeted mineralisation at all projects is typical of orogenic structurally controlled Archaean gold lode systems. In all instances themineralisation is controlled by anastomosing shear zones/fault zones passing through competent rock units, brittle-ductile shearing iscommon in the gneissic rocks.
Drill hole Information •A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation ofthe following information for all Material drill holes:oeasting and northing of the drill hole collaroelevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collarodip and azimuth of the holeodown hole length and interception depthohole length.•If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and thisexclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearlyexplain why this is the case. •All the drill holes reported in this report have the following parameters applied. All drill holes completed, including holes with nosignificant results (as defined in the Attachments) are reported in this announcement.•Easting and northing are given in MGA94 coordinates as defined in the Attachments for Mount Magnet.•RL is AHD•Dip is the inclination of the hole from the horizontal. Azimuth is reported in magnetic degrees as the direction the hole isdrilled.MGA94 and magnetic degrees vary by <10 in the project area. All reported azimuths are corrected for magnetic declinations.•Down hole length is the distance measured along the drill hole trace. Intersection length is the thickness of an anomalous goldintersection measured along the drill hole trace.•Hole length is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole measured along the drill hole trace.•No results currently available from the exploration drilling are excluded from this report. Gold grade intersections >0.4 g/t Au within 4mAircore composites or >0.5 g/t Au within single metre RC samples (with up to 4m of internal dilution) are considered significantin the
broader mineralised host rocks. Diamond core samples are generally cut along geological contacts or up to 1m maximum.•Gold grades greater than 0.5 g/t Au are highlighted where good continuity of higher grade mineralization is observed. 0.1 g/tAucut-offsare used for reconnaissance exploration programmes.
Data aggregation methods •In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum gradetruncations (egcutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.•Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low graderesults, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail.•The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. •The first gold assay result received from each sample reported by the laboratory is tabled in the list of significant assays.Subsequentrepeat analyses when performed by the laboratory are checked against the original to ensure repeatability of the assay results.•Weighted average techniques are applied to determine the grade of the anomalous interval when geological intervals less than 1mhave been sampled.•Exploration drilling results are generally reported using a 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off for diamond drilling and may include somedocumented internal dilution. Where extremely high gold intersections are encountered, the highest-grade sample interval (eg1.0m @
150 g/t Au) is also reported. All assay results are reported to 3 significant figures in line with the analytical precision of the laboratorytechniques employed.•No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied.

Relationship betweenmineralisation widths andintercept lengths ••• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should bereported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect(eg'down hole length, true width not known'). •• The intersection length is measured down the length of the hole and is not usually the true width. When sufficient knowledgeon the thickness of the intersection is known an estimate of the true thickness is provided in the Attachments.The known geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill holes reported in this report is now well constrained.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for anysignificant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collarlocations and appropriate sectional views. Detailed drill hole plans and sectional views of Eridanus are provided or have been provided previously. Interpretation andassessment of the significance of the data is ongoing at the time this report was prepared.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of bothlow and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. All drill holes completed to date are reported in this report and all material intersections as defined) are reported.
Other substantiveexploration data Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geologicalobservations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples –size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;potential deleterious or contaminating substances. No other exploration data that has been collected is considered meaningful and material to this report.
Further work •• The nature and scale of planned further work (egtests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or largescale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretationsand future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. Future exploration includes step out RC and diamond drilling below deposits to define the full depth extent of the mineralisationdiscovered to date.
