AISC margin = A$ spot gold less reported AISC (SBM = A$935 /oz Q1 Sep 2016). Production is gold ounces only, by-product credits are accounted for in AISC. Implied free cash flow = AISC margin x estimated annualised production, and is an estimate only.

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

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 (CY16) 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

Non-IFRS Measures
----- End of picture text -----

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

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).

  • 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).

  • Net-cash • Net-cash equivalent to cash and cash equivalents less current and non-current interest bearing borrowings

  • Net-debt • Net-debt equivalent to current and non-current interest bearing borrowings less cash and cash equivalents

  • Significant Items • Items included in IFRS Net Profit After Tax that the Board and Management consider may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, core operating results (such as profit or loss on gold options, or the sale of tenement rights)

  • • Refer 2016 Financial Report (p3) for details, available at www.stbarbara.com.au •

  • Underlying net profit/(loss) Net profit after tax excluding identified significant items after tax

  • Refer 2016 Financial Report (p3) for details, available at www.stbarbara.com.au
