Monty Feasibility Study OPEX estimates (TLM 30% basis)
239kt mined ore
Underground mining + ore haulage cost = A$126/t (~A$30.2M) Fixed JV management fee = equates to ~A$1/t (~A$0.2M) Sandfire Ore Treatment Fee (OTF) = A$211/t (~A$50.4M)
Implied operating cost (excl. royalties & closure) = A$338/t (~A$81M)
Monty Feasibility Study REVENUE estimates (TLM 30% basis)
239kt mined ore sold containing 22.3kt Cu, 11.5koz Au & 124koz Ag
LOM average prices: US$6118/t Cu, US$1369/oz Au, US$18.7/oz Ag & 0.723 A$ Implied gross revenue = A$758/t (~A$181M)

Development timeline
► Net revenue forecast of A$513 per tonne ore delivered
-
Forecast payable revenue (A$758/t) minus OTF (A$211/t) minus royalties (A$34/t)
-
Forecast payable revenue retains full exposure to:
-
Higher/(lower) prices; eg copper market tightens
-
Greater/(lesser) ore volumes ; eg extensions, Upper Zone extraction
-
Grade overcall/(undercall); eg grade control drilling uplift

Key OSPA benefits for Talisman
==> picture [47 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
A low capital, exposure minimising and high returning development route for Talisman
► OSPA limited to Monty deposit and near-Monty extensions
- Maintain optionality in relation to any future discoveries on the Springfield JV
► No plant build requirement
-
Highly attractive pre-production capital intensity
-
Considerably lower risk than typical minority JV development project interest
► Independent calculation of head grade by third party
► Relatively high fixed metal recovery formulae and high fixed payables
-
Recognition of expected Monty ore processing performance and concentrate quality parameters
-
No Talisman exposure to metallurgical processing and product marketing risks
► Commercially negotiated and highly competitive Ore Treatment Fee (OTF)
-
Recognises all downstream costs of processing ore plus transport and treatment/refining of concentrate
-
Deducted from payable revenue on an equivalent cost per tonne of ore basis
-
Transparency of OTF cost components (linkage to annual industry determined benchmark, eg TC/RCs, or annual indexation from an agreed basis)
==> picture [284 x 382] intentionally omitted <==

14
A highly competitive Ore Treatment Fee (OTF)
==> picture [47 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
► Ore Treatment Fee (OTF) of approx. A$211/t ore
-
Recognises all downstream costs post ore sale:
-
Ore processing and associated G&A overheads;
-
Product conc. haulage, shipping and refining costs;
-
A dedicated plant usage charge.
-
Closely aligned with actual DeGrussa processing, G&A and downstream costs
-
Appears elevated on a per tonne of ore basis due to the extremely high grade nature of Monty ore
-
Downstream costs actually levied per tonne of conc/Cu
-
Equates to U$0.86/lb payable Cu metal (at spot A$)
-
Modest plant usage charge allows Talisman to avoid a substantial investment in dedicated processing, site services, transport and marketing infrastructure
==> picture [445 x 253] intentionally omitted <==
DeGrussa opex as per quarterly US$ operating data released by Sandfire and avg. 1HFY17 A$/US$ rate of 0.75; all A$/US$ conversions above at this rate.
Adjustments to reflect high Monty ore grade
DeGrussa processing/G&A costs applied to Monty Feasibility Study operating parameters to arrive at notional per pound unit costs.
DeGrussa opex expressed on a per pound contained metal basis; Monty OTF and implied usage charge expressed on a per pound payable metal basis.
DeGrussa transport, treatment and refining cost notionally adjusted back to a per tonne ore cost utilising Monty Feasibility Study parameters.
This is an indicative analysis only. The calculation of specific OTF components is notional and derived solely on an implied basis utilising DeGrussa 1HFY17 actual opex. Talisman does not warrant that these implied component amounts align in any way with the specific component amounts of the aggregate OTF within the OSPA.

Note i: Mineral Resources
Information in this presentation that relates to the Monty JORC Mineral Resource estimate is information previously published by Sandfire Resources NL (“Sandfire”) and is available on the Sandfire and ASX websites (see announcement “Maiden High-Grade Mineral Resource for Monty VMS Deposit: 99,000t of Copper and 55,000oz of Gold”, dated 13 April 2016 (Sandfire Announcement)). For full details of the Monty Resource estimate, including the Competent Person’s Statement related to the estimation of the Monty Mineral Resource, please refer to the Sandfire Announcement.
Talisman confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the Sandfire Announcement, and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the Sandfire Announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed and confirms that the form and context in which the Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original Sandfire Announcement.

Monty Feasibility Study operating and financial outcomes (30% basis)
==> picture [47 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
A technically sound and highly economic underground project
All costs borne by the Springfield Joint Venture under the OSPA are incorporated in the Monty financial analysis on a 100% basis. As such, Talisman’s underlying economic interest in the development of Monty equates to its 30% interest in the Springfield Joint Venture and is therefore represented by its simple 30% share of forecast financial returns as outlined below.
| Operating parameters (TLM 30% basis) | Units | FS (Mar 2017) |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-production mine development | months | 12 |
| Ore production mine life | months | 30 |
| Total mined and milled ore | kt | 239 |
| Copper head grade (LOM avg) | % Cu | 9.35 |
| Gold head grade (LOM avg) | g/t Au | 1.50 |
| Silver head grade (LOM avg) | g/t Ag | 16.2 |
| Total copper-in-ore mined | kt | 22.3 |
| Total gold-in-ore mined | koz | 11.5 |

1 C1 and AISC are calculated on the basis of notionally including the OSPA Ore Treatment Fee as a production cost. AISC is defined as the operating cash cost of production (net of by-product credits) plus royalties and sustaining capital and closure costs but exclusive of any finance costs or corporate overhead allocation.

Key agreements with Sandfire
==> picture [47 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
Logical and low risk pathway with economic benefits shared between JV partners
Mining Joint Venture Agreement (MJVA)
Ore Sale and Purchase Agreement (OSPA)
-
Establishes the rights and obligations of the Springfield JV parties related to activities associated with the development, mining and ultimate decommissioning of mineral discoveries
-
Development and mining of Monty will operate under the terms of this MJVA
-
Applies to Monty ore (and near-Monty extensions)
-
Potential future Springfield JV discoveries subject to separate OSPA at discretion of both JV parties
-
Monty ore (at a max rate of approx. 0.4Mtpa) blended with Sandfire’s existing DeGrussa ore feed
Exploration Joint Venture Agreement (EJVA)
-
Point of ore sale to Sandfire is at a dedicated weighbridge near DeGrussa ROM pad
-
Covers the ongoing exploration activities of the Springfield JV on the JV tenements and outlines the rights and obligations of the JV parties
-
Provides a mechanism to progress future mineral discoveries, including the option to utilise the existing MJVA
-
TLM receives net ore sale revenue payment on equivalent payable metal-in-concentrate basis after deduction of Ore Treatment Fee (OTF) per tonne of delivered ore and Royalties
-
Ore sales revenue derived from (independently) calculated head grade, prevailing metal prices, fixed recovery formulae and fixed payabilities
-
Certain components of OTF are subject to annual indexation and/or pegged to annual industry determined benchmarks
