Youanmi Project Generates High Quality Outcomes at a Low Capital Cost


- 1. C1 cash cost includes mining, processing, administration, concentrate charges and accounting adjustments for stockpile movements, and is calculated based on payable metal.
- 2. All-In Sustaining Cost (AISC) per ounce payable includes C1 cash cost, royalties and sustaining capital calculated based on payable metal. It does not include corporate cost, exploration cost and non-sustaining capital.
- 3. Financial results are unleveraged and pre-tax numbers calculated based on a 100% basis and in Australian dollars unless stated otherwise. Rox owns 70% of the OYG joint venture.
- 4. Payback period is calculated from the first month of the gold production target.
- 5. Capital intensity is calculated by dividing pre-production capital by annual payable metal.
- 6. Refer to ASX Announcement 19 October 2022 for more details

Attractive Value Proposition

Gold Concentrate Production
The Company has considered various options to develop the Project including producing only concentrates, building an Albion Process plant to produce bullion on site, or various combinations. It has determined that a combination of gold-in-concentrate and carbon-in-leach bullion is the optimum commercialisation strategy for Youanmi.




High Quality Low Arsenic Gold Concentrate

From Rox's recent testwork and historic performance, simplified metallurgy is as follows:
- Historical production & recent testwork shows consistent concentrate production of >40g/t gold in concentrate with ~2% As 1
- 1.0Moz Au Near Surface Resource (surface to 160m depth) = free milling
- 2.2Moz Au Underground Resource = sulphide associated. Only 25% of this material is Arsenopyrite and needs extra oxidation. 75% is "conventional" milling.
- With only partial Sulphur Oxidation (33%) gold leach extraction is 90-95%


Notes
1. Refer to ASX Announcement 19 October 2022.
Gold Concentrate Market


The key purchasers for gold concentrates are generally in China although some Australian and international based roasters, pressure oxidation (POX) and bio-oxidation (BIOX) processors have capacity.
Changes to Chinese regulations have created an increased demand for low Arsenic gold concentrates (<6% As). Youanmi gold concentrate will attract a premium due to the low As content and high gold content.

Project Potential – Resource Stope Optimisation

Significant potential upside is not captured in the Scoping Study as only 20% of the Youanmi Global Mineral Resource is included in the Scoping Study production target and resource remains open down dip and along strike
Potential Upside – Resource Stope Optimisation


Notes
1. Refer to ASX Announcement 20 April 2022
2. Refer to ASX Announcement 19 October 2022. Mining Production Target is mined ounces which is higher than the payable metal of 569koz as the payable metal is after metallurgical recovery and payability.
Mt Fisher – Mt Eureka Gold Project (Non-Core Asset)
