Gwalia A rich history with a bright future
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

Gwalia Mining Strategy
==> picture [136 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Dual Lift Stoping in SWB
Mining method
mining sequence manages the hanging wall
-
˃ Long hole stoping with fill
-
˃ North & South access on two dual lift levels gives 4 mining areas
-
˃ Greater percentage of free bogging increases productivity of each stope
-
˃ Sill drives fully in ore – reduces development dilution
˃ Production drilling parallel to hanging-wall to reduce blast induced dilution

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

Gwalia Production Profile – ‘Centre out’ method
----- End of picture text -----
==> picture [136 x 44] intentionally omitted <==
Objective: Maximise production, constrained by:
- 1) Waiting for adjacent/above stope’s paste fill to dry
==> picture [679 x 359] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
to dry Plunge, centre
2) Geotech considerations – not too many of lode
open stopes too close together
= ‘Centre out’ method
Historical stopes
(light blue)
‘Centre out’ –
extract centre

then move out to

Q3 FY15 Stopes
(dark blue)
Q4 FY15 Stopes
Maintain 3-4 mining
(red)
fronts, each as

Gwalia > Allows mining to 2,000 metres below surface (mbs)
-
A rich history with a bright future[[1]]
-
Option to extend vent infrastructure in the future to mine to 2,200 mbs[[1]]
˃ Paste Aggregate Fill (PAF) feasibility study also completed and approved.
-
Mix paste with waste crushed underground for stope filling, eliminate trucking waste to surface
-
Increases truck productivity, only ore hauled to surface
-
Allows faster stope filling reducing stope cycle times
-
Crush raisebore chippings underground - avoids production interruption during vent shaft construction
-
Expediting PAF greatly enhances total value of Gwalia Extension Project
-
Early works underway , approximately A$6 million expenditure in the March 2017 quarter
-
Studies indicate Ventilation Upgrade capex of A$70 to A$75 million , over 2 to 2.5 years construction time, and PAF capex of A$15 to A$20 million, over 12 months construction time
> Final project cost and schedule depends on availability of raisebore machines and further geotechnical studies
- Investment decision to allow mining to 2,000 mbs scheduled for March 2017
Pinjin, May 2016
- Current mine plan extends to 1,940 mbs in FY 2024. Should the current drilling program identify sufficient resources below 2,000 mbs, the Study defines additional infrastructure to extend ventilation from 2,000 mbs to allow mining to 2,200 mbs at a cost of between A$30 to A$35 M.

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
