FURTHER UG GROWTH PROJECTS IN THE EVALUATION PIPELINE

11 GROWTH FROM OPEN PITS

Significant advances to multiple projects

Buckingham- Wellington (Moolart Well)

  • Most significant fresh-rock mineralisation ever from Moolart
  • High-grade intersection suggest excellent potential to define high grade shoots beneath the extensive oxide mineralisation

Ben Hur Project

  • Thick, high-grade extensions down dip are expected to grow the open pit resources
  • Deeper intercepts show early indications of potential UG lodes

Strong history of reserve replacement with all deposits open at depth and clear pathway to extend mine life

Production returning to 450koz – 500koz (at 100%) as increasing high-grade ore delivered from Havana OP and Boston Shaker UG

  • Processing grown to 9Mtpa with further optimisation available

  • Havana OP and multiple UG mines supporting a 10+ year operational future

  • Boston Shaker UG

    • full production rate of 1.1Mtpa
    • increased grade mill feed
  • Additional UG mining opportunities at Tropicana Gold Mine

Surface Water Licenses remain the key outstanding element to obtaining DPIE recommendation – DPIE-planning and DPIE-water actively involved in establishing an outcome.

Update on other key activities :

  • DFS in progress, to be finalised on receipt of Approval conditions.
  • ATSIHP Section 10 (Federal act) application assessments commenced. Extensive Heritage reviews completed strongly indicate limited unique heritage risk
  • Mining lease application underway. A survey gap dating back over 100 years resulting in a very small area, ~74m2, potentially requiring a Right to Negotiate process.
