Syama Underground
A world class sublevel cave in the making…


Automation & Development Syama Underground

- Automated drilling and longer rounds delivering rapid underground development
- Underground mine development has advanced more than 3km
- First development ore has commenced ramping up to ~500ktpa
- Pre-production underground ore of ~1.3Mt before first sublevel cave production ore in December 2018

Depth of peer group underground Peer group mining at depths beyond 12 years at Syama

- Average depth of peer group underground mines is 600m below surface
- Peers are currently mining at depths well beyond the next 12 years at Syama
- The 8Moz Syama orebody has been drill tested to ~800m below surface
- Peers mining at up to twice the depth of the current limit of drilling at Syama

A major gold discovery at Syama Game changing new discovery at Nafolo

- Adjacent to 8Moz Syama Deposit
- Potential to transform Syama operation
- Untested to the south and at depth
- All drillholes to date have intersected gold mineralisation
- Remains open in all
A world class opportunity 10Moz and counting, 80km of strike untested below ~200m
