RTG MINING INC. COMPILATION REPORT

4 April 2014

4 April 2014

The Directors RTG Mining Inc. Level 2, 338 Barker Road SUBIACO WA 6008

Dear Sirs,

COMPILATION REPORT

1. Introduction

We have been engaged by RTG Mining Inc. ("RTG" or "the Company") to prepare this Compilation Report on the pro-forma financial statements ("Report") which comprises the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013 and the pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the six months ended 31 December 2013 to be included in Section 6.4 of the Scheme Booklet to be issued by Sierra Mining Ltd ("Sierra") on or around 9 April 2014 for schemes of arrangement to implement the proposed Merger between the Company and Sierra.

Capitalised terms in the Scheme Booklet have the same meaning in this Report, unless the context requires otherwise.

2. Scope

Historical financial information

You have requested BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd ('BDO') to review the following historical financial information of RTG and Sierra included in this Compilation Report:

  • x The statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period ended 31 December 2013; and
  • x The statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013.

(collectively the 'historical financial information').

The historical financial information has been prepared in accordance with the stated basis of preparation in Appendix 3 to this Report. The historical financial information has been extracted from the financial report of RTG for the period ended 31 December 2013, which was audited by BDO Audit (WA) Pty Ltd and the financial report for Sierra for the period ended 31 December 2013, which was reviewed by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

The historical financial information is presented in the Appendices to this report in an abbreviated form, insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001.

Pro Forma historical financial information

You have requested BDO to review the pro forma historical statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013 for the Combined Group referred to as the 'pro forma historical financial information'.

The pro forma historical financial information has been prepared using the same accounting policies as described in the audited financial statements of RTG (refer Annexure 10 of the Scheme Booklet). However, the pro forma consolidated statement of financial position is presented in an abbreviated form and does not include all disclosures applicable to annual financial reports under the Corporations Act. It should be read in conjunction with the rest of the Scheme Booklet (particularly the explanation of adjustments) and the notes and assumptions applicable to that the statement of financial position of Sierra and RTG respectively.

The pro forma historical statement of financial position has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and may not be indicative of RTG's consolidated statement of financial position had the Merger been in effect at the dates indicated. The pro forma consolidated statement of financial position should be read in conjunction with the audited RTG financial statements and the reviewed interim financial statements of Sierra.

3. Background

The pro forma financial information set out in Appendices 1, 2 and 3 has been prepared for illustrative purposes to show the potential effect of the Merger on RTG and Sierra if the Merger had been completed as at 31 December 2013. The information does not represent the financial position of the Combined Group if and when the Merger is implemented and is not represented as being indicative of RTG's views on the Combined Group's future financial position or performance.

The information on which the pro forma information is based has been derived from the following:

  • x The reviewed interim consolidated statement of financial position of Sierra as at 31 December 2013 and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of RTG for the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 December 2013.
  • x The audited consolidated statement of financial position of RTG as at 31 December 2013 and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of RTG for the period from 1 July 2013 to 30 December 2013.

4. Assumptions Adopted in Compiling the Pro-forma Statement of Financial Position

The pro-forma consolidated statement of financial position post the Merger is shown in Appendix 2. This has been prepared based on the audited financial statements of RTG as at 31 December 2013 and the following transactions and events relating to the Merger:

  • x Under the Merger, and pursuant to the unlisted Sierra option arrangements, all existing Sierra Shares, Sierra Options and Unlisted Sierra Options will be exchanged for RTG Shares (in the form of CDIs) and RTG Options resulting in the issue of 770,354,715 RTG Shares at C$0.09 (based on the 31 December 2013 closing RTG share price) and 85,594,968 RTG Options exercisable at C$0.15 (prior to the RTG Share Consolidation). The RTG Options have been valued using the Black and Scholes model at a value of C$0.0447 per RTG Option.
  • x The functional currency of Sierra is Australian dollars ($A). The 31 December 2013 Sierra consolidated statement of financial position has been transacted to US dollars ($US) at the 31 December 2013 rate and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income has been translated to US dollars ($US) at the 6 months to 31 December 2013 average rate, with the foreign exchange difference taken to the foreign exchange loss account under the Sierra statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
  • x The pro forma accounts have also included the sale and deconsolidation of Segilola Gold Limited as a pro-forma adjustment. The $1 million Initial Consideration due upon completion has been recognised as cash at its full face value. The $5 million Deferred Consideration due 18 months from the Completion Date has been recognised as a non-current receivable and discounted to present value. Given the repayment of the Deferred Consideration is dependent on the purchaser completing a capital raising and will require an improvement in current debt and equity market conditions, a provision has been raised against the receivable for accounting purposes. No future income tax benefit has been recognised in relation to this provision. The Royalty Consideration of up to US$8 million due under the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement has not been recognised on the balance sheet as yet as the Segilola Gold Project has not yet been developed.
  • x The consolidation of these two companies is on the basis that RTG is the acquirer and as such deemed to be the accounting parent.
  • x The acquisition has been accounted for as an asset acquisition in accordance with AASB 2 Share Based Payments, rather than a business combination in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations.

5. Disclosures

Without modifying our conclusions, we draw attention to the Scheme Booklet, which describes the purpose of the financial information, being for inclusion in the Scheme Booklet. As a result, the financial information may not be suitable for use for another purpose.

Neither BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd nor BDO, nor any director or executive or employee thereof, has any financial interest in the outcome of the proposed transaction except for the normal professional fee due for the preparation of this Report.

Yours faithfully

BDO Corporate Finance (WA) Pty Ltd

Peter Toll Director
