Gwalia Deep Drilling Program
The full drilling program is aimed at delineating an indicated resource to support the planned shaft studies.
Refer report[1] for full results of recent 6 holes that successfully intersected mine sequence
South West Branch intercepts similar to 1,100 – 1,300 mbs, significantly thinner to levels currently being mined and in reserve.
- Further drilling through until Q1 Sep FY17 is planned to complete the program.
Figure 1.0
-
Program expected to create additional reserves (based on trucking). Materials handling studies will continue[2] .

West Lode
- West Lode is one of the four major lode structures[1] identified within the Gwalia Mine Sequence, and is located approximately 80m to the west of South West Branch.
Drilling results[2] show encouraging grade and thickness:
-
˃ studies underway to assess the options for exploiting the lode with a materials handling solution
-
˃ expected to add to reserves.
-
Further drilling is planned to investigate extensions of the lode system below 1,800 metres below surface.

Centenary
In Q3 FY15 St Barbara conducted electromagnetic (EM) survey work on Centenary Project approximately 60 km north of Leonora. Four sites were drilled in Q4 FY15 with follow up drilling in Q1 and Q2 FY16
New drilling targeted an anomalous nickel geochemistry feature within weathered ultramafics not previously reported within E37-917, and generated results[1] including:
CNRD004: 7m @ 5,651ppm Ni from 58 m
- A second phase of work is expected to commence during the March quarter of 2016.

The Pinjin Project is located 150km northeast of Kalgoorlie, comprising a large tenement package of 1,358 km[2] (Figure 3.1).
Two reconnaissance field visits were conducted during the quarter and necessary approvals obtained.
A significant aircore drilling program (of up to 25,000 metres) targeting bedrock geochemical and geophysical targets is expected to commence late in the March 2016 quarter and continue through much of the June 2016 quarter[1] .

We supplement our financial information reporting determined under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) with certain non-IFRS financial measures, including cash operating costs. We believe that these measures provide meaningful information to assist management, investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance.
- Cash operating costs ˃ Calculated according to common mining industry practice using The Gold Institute (USA) Production Cost Standard (1999 revision).
Refer most recent quarterly report available at www.stbarbara.com.au for example
- All-In Sustaining Cost ˃ All-In Sustaining Cost is based on Cash Operating Costs, and adds items relevant to sustaining production. It includes some, but not all, of the components identified in World Gold Council’s Guidance Note on Non-GAAP Metrics - All-In Sustaining Costs and All-In Costs (June 2013). Refer most recent quarterly report available at www.stbarbara.com.au for example
