Goal

Build reserves beyond 3 million ounces

Strategy

  • Depth and southern strike at Garden Well
  • Moolart Well oxides
    • Resource conversion drilling
    • Optimisation of current reserves
  • Prioritise and drill satellite resources
  • Drill new prospects & regional exploration

Delivery

Not reliant on new discovery

6 regional satellite deposits (excluding MW,GW, Erlistoun & Rosemont) Resources of 315koz1 None more than 15km away from either MW orGW All on granted mining leases Drill outs and reserve

studies planned Incremental reserve ounces likely
