INORGANIC GROWTH - THIRD PRODUCTION CENTRE STRATEGY

1.956

Opportunity

$\blacktriangleright$

Ramelius has two production centres at Mt Magnet & Edna May, currently producing 250-280 koz per annum Strategy has been to acquire a 3rd production centre to add scale, diversity, optionality & growth prospects

  • Gold or Copper/Gold
  • Tier 1 jurisdiction, with a preference for Australia ⋗
  • Producing asset, or a clear pathway to production
  • At or above 100 koz per annum production rate
  • Potential for a 10+ year mine plan
  • Competitive cost profile

Ideal Criteria

  • $\blacktriangleright$ Rebecca could meet the above criteria, but it will be ~3 years until production $\rightarrow$ 4th Production Centre?
  • Additional resources added to Business Development team in engineering and geology skill sets

RAMELIUS - WELL POSITIONED FOR FY23 AND BEYOND

Operational Excellence

Balance Sheet & Use of Capital

Accretive Acquisitions

Exploration Opportunities

Near-term Catalysts

Proven management team adept in either greenfields development or refurbishment & operation of both open pit and underground mines

Strong balance sheet, disciplined approach to capital management with a focus on both growth aspirations and shareholder returns

Well placed to execute quickly on transactions, utilising reliable due diligence methodology with a match-fit team

Significant A\$25M (US\$17.5M) investment budgeted with opportunities highlighted by ongoing success at Mt Magnet and the new Rebecca project

Commence Penny & Galaxy underground production in FY23 Progress on remaining Mt Magnet & Edna May mining studies
