DUKETON NORTHERN OPERATIONS

  • Q1 gold production 27,387oz up 10% on Q4:

  • Grade 9% higher than Q4 as mining returned to Gloster ore (stockpiles processed in Q4)

  • Mill throughput and recovery consistent with Q4

  • Strip ratio decreased from 7.4 to 2.2 due to mining returning to ore after waste mining in Q4 for TSF lift

  • Pre-strip mining of higher grade satellite pits Dogbolter & Anchor continued (first production expected in Q2)

  • Q1 AISC of $898 per ounce (down 22% on Q4) reflective of substantial decrease in strip ratio in Q1

ROSEMONT UNDERGROUND POTENTIAL FOR RESOURCE EXTENSION

CONCEPTUAL LONG SECTION

==> picture [666 x 227] intentionally omitted <==

EXPLORATION FROM “WITHIN THE DRIVE”

  • Significant opportunity to conduct exploration and resource drilling from a potential underground development between the two zones in the current MRE:

  • Easier to hit targets than from surface or from within the open pit

  • Much cheaper and quicker

  • Aim is to establish a viable U/G mine on these two positions and then grow the scale of mining inventory and operations from that platform

==> picture [720 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

16 16

ROSEMONT UNDERGROUND POTENTIAL FOR RESOURCE EXTENSION

==> picture [624 x 211] intentionally omitted <==

  • Resource covers less than 1.3km of 4km strike and max depth of 150m below open pit designs

  • In some target areas drilling would be best done from within an underground mine development

  • Q1 drilling 50 DD & RC holes for 15,292m, results (all outside UG resources):  6m @ 56.28g/t. Au from 126m 17m @ 6.31g/t. Au from 49m  6m @ 5.03g/t. Au from 392m 7m @ 5.91g/t.

  • Infill & extensional drilling continuing Q2 FY19 and beyond, parallel with mine development

  • Q1 drilling pointing to resource extension below and between the current UG resource area

MULTIPLE HIGH GRADE SHOOTS BELOW GARDEN WELL PIT

  • At least 4 high grade zones below southern end of GW pit

  • Very significant underground target

  • Zone of continuous mineralisation 4-10m true widths & 300m N-S strike

  • 100 – 300m below surface, dipping east and open to south

  • Continued strong cash-flow from operations $77.9m for Q1 (Q4: $85.3m)  Cash and bullion holdings were $190m (Q4: $209m)

  • $15.3m growth capex spent on satellite prestrips & TSF lifts (FY19f: $40m significantly weighted to H1)

  • Board approved development of Rosemont UG operation

  • Portal to be developed in Q3, development ore Sept19Q and production ore Dec19Q

  • Exploration results indicating expansion opportunities beyond current stoping/resources

  • Exploration efforts continue to deliver:

  • Early stage drilling of Garden Well high grade underground targets very positive and suggest GW to follow same path as RMT

  • Very strong extensional results at Discovery Ridge in NSW – exciting addition to MGP

  • McPhillamys EIS and DFS work continuing

  • PEA submitted and EARs issued, facilitating completion of EIS and DFS in Q3

  • Investment decision expected Q3
