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
