of ~A$620/oz BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Catalpa was originally listed on the ASX as Westonia Mines Limited in 2002 with
the Edna May project and surrounding tenements covering the vast majority of the
Westonia greenstone belt. After completing the purchase of the Big Bell gold
processing plant, the Company undertook a bankable feasibility study into the
Listed as Westonia development of Edna May in 2004. Development was not justified at the time due
Mines Limited in 2002 to insufficient returns at the prevailing gold price (2004 average gold price
A$556/oz).

In 2008, the Company changed its name to Catalpa Resources Limited, and re-
examined the potential for the development of Edna May due to the much higher
gold price (2008 average gold price A$1,034/oz). In late 2009, the Company
Name changed to completed a merger with its largest shareholder, Lion Selection Limited (“Lion”),
Catalpa Resources following a capital reconstruction, to give the Company its current form. The
Limited in 2008, then merger, via a scheme of arrangement, saw Lion contributing 30% of Cracow, with
merged with Lion Catalpa contributing 100% of its Edna May operation.

Belt

The Edna May project is located within the Westonia Greenstone belt, half way
between Perth and Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The area has had historic mining
Historic underground on and off since 1911. Most of the mining has been via underground methods,
mining on & off since though there was an open cut operation between 1986 and 1989 operated by ACM
1911 Gold Limited on the main Edna May deposit. ACM underground mining was
terminated in 1991 when barren pegmatites were intersected and the inflow of
groundwater was unable to be effectively dealt with by the pumping capacity at the
time.

The mineralisation at Edna May is contained within the Edna May gneiss,
Mineralisation
Greenfinch gneiss and the Golden Point gneiss. Current resources are 52.1Mt @
contained within the
0.99g/t Au for 1.66Moz. Total reserves are 29.6Mt @ 1.06g/t Au for 1.01Moz gold.
Edna May Gneiss
The targeted annual production rate of ~100kozpa gives a 10 year mine life for the
project on a reserve basis. Whilst the overall resource and reserve grades are
relatively low, we understand that there is some high grade mineralisation contained
Forecast annualised within arcuate quartz veins in the gneiss. These higher grade quartz veins were the
gold production at main target during underground mining, with periods of historic mining returning
Edna May of 100koz average grades of +20g/t Au. We understand that the distribution of these zones is
not fully understood as yet, and consequently the higher grades have been
conservatively modelled, giving the potential for grade overcalls when the open pit
ore is processed.
10 year mine life
Catalpa started construction in July 2009, with earth moving operations for the open
pit development commencing in November 2009. The treatment plant is a standard
First gold pour was in carbon in leach gold plant, having being refurbished following its use at the Big Bell
late April 2010 operation between 1989 and 2000. Catalpa commissioned the gravity and carbon
recovery circuits in mid April 2010 for its first gold pour in late April 2010, some two
months ahead of the original schedule.

Total capex of A$92m The initial throughput rate of 2.8Mtpa is planned to increase to 3.2Mtpa from mid
to re-start operations 2012. The total capital cost, including open pit pre-strip, is budgeted at $92m, of
which the $46m plant construction cost is at a guaranteed maximum price. We
understand that if the cost of the plant construction comes in under budget, the

Company and the construction contractor split the difference between budget and
actual cost.

Targeting life of mine Even though the reserve grade is relatively low, the good metallurgy of the ore, the
cash costs of large plant size, and simple open pit mining methods have the Company targeting
A$636/oz life of mine cash costs of A$636/oz. Recoveries are 88% in oxide ore and 92% in
fresh ore.

We understand that at the applied cut-off grade the ore zones are large and
Large low grade homogenous, which should result in minimal dilution during the mining process. In
orebody, dilution addition, the average grade of all assays from drilling within the Edna May gneiss is
effect minimal 0.9g/t Au. This compares to a break even grade of 0.4g/t Au, implying that there is
little risk of unprofitable ore being processed. Steady-state production is likely to be
achieved around August 2010.

Golden Point
While the Company is focused on the commissioning and ramp-up of the Edna May
operations it has also continued with resource definition and exploration activities in
Near surface order to extent mine life. Recent drilling at the Golden Point prospect within the
intercepts at Golden Golden Point Gneiss, located only a few hundred metres from the current Edna May
Point has the potential operations continues to delineate encouraging mineralisation including:

reserves and increase • 8m @ 3.39g/t Au from 52m;
mine life • 3m @ 8.21/t Au from 83m; and
• 9m @ 4.79/t Au from 58m.
The results from this drilling have recently been incorporated into a JORC compliant
resource and reserve, which the Company has recently released. The initial reserve
Initial 37Koz reserve for Golden Point is 37koz; however, we understand that this reserve only goes down
for Golden Point to 100m depth. The mineralisation remains open below this as well to the south,
indicating good potential for further resource and reserve upgrades in the future.

Underground Potential
The Company has undertaken substantial drilling at depth, identifying some high
High Grades at depth grade mineralisation with good potential to be accessed via the existing underground
infrastructure. Whilst this mineralisation represents an opportunity to augment the
low grade open pit material with high grade ore, the Company has yet to undertake a
study into the viability of an underground operation. However, based on the drill
intercepts to date, the grades appear to be able to support a small underground
operation.

Existing decline in Any underground opportunities would be accessed via the existing decline on the
place but would need footwall between the two ore bodies. However, the decline would need dewatering
to be refurbished and refurbishment before being able to be accessed. The Company will further
assess the strike and down dip extension of the Golden Point Gneiss which appears
to remain open down dip and down plunge.

Regional Exploration Potential


The Company has initiated a regional exploration program focused on exploring
Untested targets untested ‘greenfields’ targets within its tenements over the Westonia Greenstone
within 15km radius of Belt. The targets are located within a 15km radius of the Edna May plant and include
processing plant ‘gold-in-auger’ anomalies, untested historical workings and Edna May ‘look-alike
magnetic lows’. Recent work has involved regional RAB drilling comprising 345
holes for 6,116m. One anomaly (Townrow East), located only 1km from the Edna
May open pit, defined a broad 35m downhole intercept of gold anomalism containing
3m @ 1.15g/t Au. The intercept occurs in the favourable hanging wall position of a
mineralised Edna May Gneiss dyke.

Shallow drilling of broad auger anomalies at Stoneman, Battler West and Colossus
North has enabled interpretation for the probable source of the gold anomalism and
Anomalous areas of allowed for more detailed deeper drilling which is proposed. As well as targeting
gold requiring drill- some of the above targets, the drill testing of the historical workings at Battler and
testing other ‘magnetic low’ targets surrounding the Rutherfords Reward gold mine is
proposed.

DEBT AND EQUITY


As at 21 May 2010, the Company had 161.275M shares on issue, 6.94m listed
options and 8.079m unlisted options on issue, exercisable at various dates and
times.
A$65m debt facility,
drawn to A$50m as at At 31 March 2010, the Company had cash of A$19m, and had drawn down ~A$50m
31 March 2010 of its A$65m debt facility. Of the A$65m debt, we understand that A$7m of cash is
required to be retained within a cash retention account, making the effective debt
position A$58m. The debt facility was put in place as part of the finance package for
the construction of Edna May. Of this, A$10m was a Mezzanine Loan Facility (MLF)
with Macquarie Bank.

However, the Company has since undertaken a restructuring of the debt to convert
Recent restructure of the MLF into senior debt. The change has not altered Catalpa’s total debt position,
Mezzanine finance but should lower the ongoing interest costs by 2.5% pa on the A$10m converted.
component of debt Macquarie has consequently forgone its entitlement to 6.06m Catalpa options with
an exercise price of A$0.825 that were part of the MLF package. In consideration for
this, Catalpa has issued Macquarie with 500,000 CAH fully paid ordinary shares.

Recent A$20m raising In conjunction with the debt restructure, Catalpa undertook a share placement to
to boost working raise A$20m, with the funds to be used to accelerate resource and exploration
capital and advance drilling at Edna May as well as provide a working capital buffer during the
exploration commissioning phase of Edna May.

HEDGING
Excellent hedge book As part of the financing package for Edna May, the Company took out a substantial
of 350koz at flat forward hedging package of 352koz of gold at a delivery price A$1,557/oz. The
A$1,557/oz delivery schedule is ~70kozpa over five years.

Given Edna May’s production profile of ~100kozpa, this represents 70% of the
operation’s annual production over the first five years. However, as Cracow
contributes ~30kozpa, the hedging represents only 54% of total annual production.
As the hedges are currently substantially in the money, we see little risk of defaulting
on any hedge commitments as the Company could easily sell the forwards.

VALUATION
METHODOLOGY
$2.02/share valuation We have a sum of parts valuation for Catalpa of $2.02 per share. This is dominated

Edna May
We have been conservative in our valuation of Edna May by only incorporating the
Edna May, Greenfinch and Golden Point reserves as well as stockpiles (29.6Mt @
Conservative 1.06g/t for 1.01Moz). Our valuation is based on initial production of ~90kozpa for
valuation assumptions FY11, 95koz in FY12 and then ~100kozpa from FY13 onwards once the plant
for Edna May with no throughput is increased to 3.2Mtpa. We have average life of mine costs of
additional resource ~A$650/oz. Based on the current reserves, we model a mine life of 10 years. This
conversion or results in total recovered gold of ~950koz, using an average recovery of ~92%,
underground ore though with lower recoveries during the first few quarters. We see room for valuation
uplift via:

• open pit resource and reserves expansions,

• the addition of high grade underground production,


• the delineation of any additional higher grade feed, as well as

• regional exploration discoveries.

Cracow
Our Cracow valuation is based on a mine life of ~4.5 years, with consistent annual
Assumed +4 year mine
production of ~100koz, of which 30% is attributable to Catalpa. Life of mine cash
life for Cracow, but
further extensions costs are assumed to be ~A$590/oz.
likely Total production under this scenario is ~490koz, of which ~150koz is attributable to
Catalpa. Whilst this is significantly above the current reserve base, we expect
reserves to be steadily replenished over this period, and note that these recovered
ounces are still less than the current ~800koz resource base.

Given the long history of mining at Cracow, we see good potential for mine life
extensions, however, at this stage will retain our 4 year life in our valuation.

Hedge Book
To attribute a value for the hedge book independent of either Edna May or Cracow,
we have undertaken a DCF on the value difference between our forecast gold price
and the hedge price (A$1,557/oz), assuming constant delivery of 70kozpa over 5
years. This methodology derives a value for Catalpa’s hedge book of ~A$91m, or
57cps.

SENSITIVITIES
Hedge book lowers As can be seen from our sensitivity analysis, due to the Catalpa A$ denominated
valuation sensitivity to hedge book, the Company is less exposed to variations in exchange rates and the
exchange rate and gold price.

Spot valuation By way of comparison, a valuation using the current spot exchange rate (AUDUSD:
increases to 0.85) and spot gold price (US$1,210/oz), yields a valuation of $2.27/share, with the
$2.27/share valuation for Cracow and Edna May increasing, whereas the hedge book value
decreases as expected.

RISKS
We see the key risk for Catalpa being lower than anticipated production from Edna
May which could cause a default on the debt facility.

Low grades for Edna To minimise this risk, the Company will need to maintain the efficient movement of
May means that CAH open pit ore to the mill, as well as the mill being able to treat the ore at the designed
will need to maintain capacity, with recoveries being close to expectations. Given the relatively large size
efficient mining, of the open pit and therefore ease of mining efficiently, we do not see a lack of
maintaining mill earthmoving as a likely impediment. Conversely, we see the underperformance of
throughput and the plant as the largest risk. However, given that the metallurgy of the ore is well
achieving targeted understood due to it having being treated historically, as well as the substantial
recoveries metallurgical testwork undertaken by the Company, we believe that this risk has
been mitigated as best as can be prior to start up.

INVESTMENT THESIS &


RECOMMENDATION
Good quality, lower We see Catalpa as a good quality emerging producer, with a solid base lode
risk emerging production of 30koz pa from Cracow, with Edna May boosting production to over
producer ~130kozpa once the plant upgrade has been completed in ~2 years time. The
Company has substantial upside to Edna May with potential high grades from
underground that could substantially boost production given the relatively low grade
from the open pit. In addition, there is good potential for mine life extensions via
Hedge book and long
exploration success as evidenced by the recent good drill results from Golden Point.
mine life differentiate
CAH from its peers Whilst the grade of Edna May is low relative to its peers, the operation is not high
cost given the large capacity of the plant. The excellent hedge position also builds in
a large degree of comfort allowing Catalpa to yield margins substantially above
those delivering into spot prices.

Initiating coverage The Company also has excellent management with significant development
with a Buy experience. As production from Edna May continues to ramp up, we expect the
recommendation Company to be re-rated. The Company is trading at a substantial discount to our
$2.02 per share valuation, and has attractive forward looking earnings ratios and
cashflow multiples, as well as comparing favourably to its peers on a number of
multiples. We recommend Catalpa Resources Limited as a Buy.

Buy Share price appreciation anticipated Elliott Rowton +61 8 9268 3059
Speculative Buy Share price appreciation anticipated but it is higher Conlie Salvemini +61 8 9268 2833
risk than a “Buy”. For the share price to rise it may David Smyth +61 8 9268 2839
be contingent on the outcome of an uncertain or Greg Soudure +61 8 9268 2834
distant event. Sonya Soudure +61 8 9268 2865
Neutral Take no action. Stock is already trading near the Dirk Vanderstruyf +61 8 9268 2855

share price target and there are no foreseeable
near term catalysts.
Reduce / Take Stock is trading above the share price target and
profits there is a near term negative catalyst that could
cause temporary weakness.
