Ore passes

Allows bogger to work constantly, independent of ore trucks, removes ore from fired stopes more rapidly, allowing paste-filling and adjacent stopes to be fired earlier

Continuous Remote Tele-bogging At critical times bogger operates 24 hours a day

Underground Storage

At critical times shorter waste removal turnaround time gives greater availability of trucks for taking ore to surface

Stope Cycles targeting higher production
----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [136 x 44] intentionally omitted <==

Stope Cycle Time – 6 months per stope

  • ˃ ‘Bogging’ (extracting ore from the stope) represents just under 50% of stope cycle time

  • ˃ Filling and curing around 30% of stope cycle time

  • ˃ Adjacent stopes (beside, above, below) cannot be developed until curing complete

  • ˃ The maximum numbers of stopes ‘in cycle’ is four (on three levels)

  • ˃ Approximately 2 stopes ‘in production’ (blasting and bogging) at all times means overall production rate influenced by draw-point productivity (which is current focus of business improvement activity)

  • ˃ Mining commences on a new level (approx. 40 metres depth) approx. each 12 months

  • ˃ Commence with ‘centre slot’ on new level

Notes

  1. Ore Reserves are based on a gold price of Gwalia (A$1,350/oz), Tower Hill (A$1,250/oz), Simberi (US$1200/oz)

  2. Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves.

  3. Data is rounded to thousands of tonnes and thousands of ounces. Discrepancies in totals may occur due to rounding.

  4. Details relating to each of the estimates are contained in the 2016 Annual Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve Report at www.stbarbara.com.au/exploration/Ore-Reserves-mineral-resources/

Competent Person Mr Tim Richards is entitled to participate in St Barbara’s long term incentive plan, details of which are included in the 2016 directors’ and Financial Report released to the ASX on 23 August 2016. Increase in Ore Reserves was one of the performance measures under that plan until 30 June 2016. No incentive was paid in financial year 2016 under this performance measure.

Full details are contained in the ASX release dated 23 August 2016 ‘Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Statements 30 June 2016’ available at www.stbarbara.com.au.
