1.84 MILLION OUNCE MINE PLAN[#]
==> picture [493 x 301] intentionally omitted <==
*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.
| ➢ | 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 |
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
