DUKETON OPTIMISATION

Conversion of low-grade resources into reserves

  • Detailed studies during FY21 has converted significant resources into reserves
  • Operating life extended to 2028 with Ore Reserves increased by 20% net of mining depletion – 700koz added including 300koz of LG stockpiles
  • Significant low-grade, oxide resources being exploited to extend the life of the operation
  • Options are also being considered to debottleneck and expand the milling capacity to grow production and reduce costs

20 ACCELERATING DISCOVERY FOR LONG TERM LIFE

  • Exploration budget increased to A$28m for FY21
  • Greenfields exploration portion now A$23.5m versus A$5-7m per year historically
  • Accelerated exploration on Ben Hur OP and high-grade UG extensions
  • Expanded Greenfields exploration activities on newly acquired tenure will generate new large gold targets (+1Moz)
