1.45 MILLION OUNCE MINE PLAN[*]

==> picture [470 x 301] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [243 x 235] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

➢ Opportunities for FY22
▪ Extension of Vivien Underground
▪ Earlier production from Penny
➢ Potential Mine Life Extensions
▪ Eridanus Underground
Mt Magnet
▪ Orion/Franks Tower
▪ Edna May Stage 3
➢ Updated Mine Plan – July 2021
----- End of picture text -----

*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.
