Building Brilliance at St Barbara and future brownfield growth
Delivered A\$41 M of savings in FY21

Building Brilliance – Atlantic Operations
Mill throughput (tph) 22% improvement

Mill availability (%) 14% improvement

- Implemented a larger gravity screen aperture, enabling better separation and debottlenecked the gravity circuit
- Modified the spray bar in the trommel to better screen fine material through the trommel screen panels
- Increased mill power draw to enable an increase in feed tonnes to the ball mill without negatively impacting on vibration
- Optimised mill shutdown work to move from scheduled/ calendar based to condition based shutdowns
- Minor upgrades to the plant (gear spray system, ball mill feed chute) which reduced prior instances of unplanned
Recovery (%)

• Downcomers installed in CIL tanks to increase residence time
• Installed air spargers in CIL tank to increase dissolved oxygen concentration, resulting in increased recovery
Building Brilliance – Leonora Operations


Development Fronts (Nos.)

- Reduced the number of hole cleans and redrills by using "just in time" drilling for 'top level down' drilling in double and triple lift stopes
- Implementing WiFi underground has enabled teleremote drilling through shift changes increasing the utilisation of equipment
- Reduced total curing time for a stope by reducing the number of pours required to back fill a mined stope, resulting in shorter stope cycle time.
- Underground WiFi enabled implementation of better short term interval control by obtaining real time data on equipment utilisation to better coordinate equipment underground
- Replacing static cable bolts with self drilling anchors for ground support reduced development cycle time
- Using an Epiroc Boltec to reduce bolt installation time
- Improved development cut length by implementing alternative detonators to better utilise explosive properties to assist with blasting the face
Leonora Province
Work undertaken in Q4 has focussed on:
- Geological interpretation and wire -framing for the Gwalia Shallows
- Completion of an RC drilling program on historical ore stockpiles at Tower Hill
- Commencing late in the quarter was an RC drill program testing Falklands Trend, Hawaii, Jasper Hill, Trevor Bore and Ascension

Update on Atlantic Permitting
Touquoy
- Increase waste rock storage at site final permits in place by Q3 Mar FY22

- First ore expected to be delivered from Beaver Dam first half FY24
Fifteen Mile Stream
• EIS submissions underway expected to be completed Q1 Sep FY23. First production expected FY25
Strong Q4 Performance

- o Provided further updates on Leonora Province Plan
- o Delivered SEIS addendum on field studies for Simberi Sulphide Project
- o Completed Feasibility Study for Beaver Dam for internal review
- Maintained the improved operational performance at Atlantic and Leonora Operations
- Mineral Resource Authority has granted conditional approval for Simberi to recommence mining
- Operational cash contribution of A\$100 M , further strengthening the balance sheet with A\$133 M of cash and A\$82 M of debt
- Delivered A\$41 M of Building Brilliance savings and set the FY22 target of A\$60 M to A\$100 M in annualised cash contribution

Production was impacted by the shutdown of mining operations due to the fatality. In addition, routine inspection of the DSTP pipeline identified damage and operations ceased
A recovery plan is underway, incorporating corrective actions from the mining fatality and replacement of the DSTP pipeline. Mining at Simberi has been conditionally approved to recommence with ore stockpiled until milling restarts in Q2 Dec FY22.
FY22 Guidance
- Production of between 60 to 70 koz
- AISC of A\$2,465 to A\$2,650/oz1
