Underground DFS Update (cont’d) Long Section: Current Plan relative to Original DFS

==> picture [508 x 363] intentionally omitted <==

A key element of the enlarged Reserve is the increased mining footprint

DFS Update provides for expanded production of ore from sub-level open stope mining of zones outside the sub-level cave limits

The revised design is substantially larger than its predecessor. In addition, draw point orientation and ore pass locations have been changed to reflect geotechnical advice

Automation at Syama

Increased machine productivity and performance

Reduction in number of machines required leading to capital and maintenance savings

Reduced risk and better safety outcomes including reduced emissions, noise, and vibration Reduction in required personnel underground

Lower production costs per tonne

Greater control of mining with less variation which results in less dilution Increased productivity and efficiency and optimised scheduling Greater machine life

Opportunity for mining rate increases without requirement for additional infrastructure

Ability to train the Syama workforce using new intuitive technologies

Processing Overview

  • Series of processing upgrades with the objective of increasing the total sulphide gold recovery to a minimum of 85% completed

  • The process upgrades included:

  • Flotation Tails CIL: calcine CIL circuit has been repurposed to treat the flotation tails

  • New Calcine CIL: a new dedicated calcine CIL circuit has been installed and commissioned

  • Regrind: the coarse calcine product will now be reground prior to CIL

  • Upgrade of current flotation circuit: a series of minor upgrades are being completed to the current flotation circuit to improve the operational performance

Nafolo: A Major Gold Discovery at Syama

Extension potential for existing Syama underground

==> picture [641 x 366] intentionally omitted <==

  • Remains open in all directions

  • Untested to the south and at depth

  • All drillholes to date have intersected gold mineralisation

• Nafolo mineralisation can potentially be accessed from existing Syama Underground infrastructure and may form part of a future expanded mining operation

  • Updated inferred Nafolo Mineral Resource Estimate in Q1 FY19

  • Infill resource drilling to upgrade to indicated status Q4 FY19

  • Located 35km south of Syama

  • TARD621 returned 41m at 12.15g/t Au: displays the significant grades and widths seen in the main zone mineralisation
