COSTS
-
Q2 cash costs $804/oz & AISC $951/oz
-
Both below lower end of FY17 guidance range

OPERATING CASH-FLOW
-
Q2 operating cashflow $64.5m (Q1: $59.6m)
-
Continuation of strong operating cashflow underpinning cash build and dividends
==> picture [57 x 48] intentionally omitted <==
1 AISC calculated on a per ounce of production basis 2 operating cash flow is quoted under the Appendix 5B classification protocol and as such does not include payments for pre-strip and deferred mining costs as these are classified as investing activities.

OPERATIONS OUTLOOK
FY2017 GUIDANCE
-
Gold production 300,000 – 330,000 ounces
-
Cash costs $840 – $910 per ounce AISC $980 – $1,050 per ounce
-
Growth Capex: $27m
Major components of growth capital:
-
Gloster pre-production capital $7m
-
• Erlistoun pre-production capital $2m
-
• Erlistoun pre-production mining $7m
-
• Rosemont expansion mine cutback $7m

-
FY17 production guidance higher than FY16 range of 275-305koz and FY2016 actual of 305koz
-
Impact of positive grade impact of new operations
-
Optimisation to steady state of current operations
-
FY17 AISC guidance consistent with FY16 range of A$970-A$1,070
-
Guidance range slightly higher than FY16 actual A$927/oz due to early waste stripping requirements of start up operations Gloster and Erlistoun.

GOLD PRODUCTION (OUNCES)
----- End of picture text -----
Midpoint of cumulative 2017-2019 production guidance/target range is based on 98% Probable Ore Reserves and 2% Inferred Mineral Resources (IMR). No Exploration Targets included.
Cautionary statement: there is a low level of geological confidence associated with IMR 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.

| Tooheys Well Inferred Mineral Resource | |||
| at 0.4g/t lower cut | 14.6 | 1.16 | 547 |
-
Resource above 1.0g/t cut-off is 6.7Mt at 1.77g/t for 379,000 ounces – 70% of quoted resource Indicative of the regular, wide intercepts of high grade mineralisation
-
Only 2.5km south of 5mtpa Garden Well processing plant and on a granted mining lease
-
Clearly a compelling substantial, high grade mill feed satellite project opportunity for GW
-
Infill drilling underway to update resource and form basis of Reserve estimation later in 2017
-
Broader Garden Well shear zone extends 30km north of GW and 10km south
-
Application of exploration methodology to broader package where the bulk of historic drilling is ineffective (<50m hole depths)
-
Less than $6 per resource ounce discovery cost
-
Cheapest growth option is in our own back yard

McPHILLAMYS (NSW)
EXPANDING MCPHILLAMYS RESOURCES AND FOOTPRINT
==> picture [327 x 350] intentionally omitted <==
-
Entered into binding agreement to acquire the Blayney Gold Project for A$3.25m
-
Tenement lies contiguous to the McPhillamys project licence and hosts two quoted Mineral Resource Estimates*:
-
Discovery Ridge – 13.84Mt at 1.1g/t for 501koz’s
-
Bald Hill – 37.0Mt at 0.5g/t for 595koz’s
-
Acquisition expands the McPhillamys Gold Project footprint by 493 km[2]
-
Discovery Ridge deposit located 32km away from the McPhillamys Gold Project by a major highway
-
The economics of Discovery Ridge will be studied with a view to generating a satellite operation to be developed contemporaneously with the McPhillamys Project

RECAP OF PRESENTATION
-
H1 FY17 gold production 154,702 ounces at AISC of A$949/oz
-
Production run rate in-line with FY17 guidance as GW and RMT grades improve and Gloster comes on line
-
AISC below lower end of FY17 guidance
-
Cash and bullion holdings $129.7m (June 16: $123.3m)
-
cash build after high spend on growth capex - Gloster & Erlistoun and $45m in dividend payments
-
Interim fully franked dividend of 7cps ($35m) declared
-
Continued strong drill results at Tooheys Well - reserve estimate expected in Q3
-
Further encouraging extensional (open pit & u/g) drill results at Rosemont
-
Drilling continuing at RMT South and RMT Main underground
-
Major infill drill programme underway at McPhillamys – strong results to date
-
Pushing project towards PFS
