• Mineral Resources are reported according to the SAMREC Code
• Confidence classification assumes annual production-scale and open pit mining
• These Mineral Resources are classified as Indicated and Inferred. The Competent Person has reasonable confidence in the Resources, but future
drilling may materially change the Resource evaluation
• Commodity prices used for reporting Resources are US$1,400/oz gold and US$20.00/oz silver
• Mineral Resources are constrained within a Whittle optimised pit shell, which considered mining, processing and administrative costs, process
recovery and sustaining capital
• Mineral Resources are reported in situ for material within a pit shell having positive value after process recovery and costs for processing, refining,
royalties, and administrative costs have been applied. A variable cut-off is applied since the process recoveries and cost are dependent on head
grade. This resulted in an average revenue cut-off grade of US$43/t processed based on 1% royalty; average process recoveries of 92.4% for gold
and 67.2% for silver; refining costs of US$2.78/oz for gold and US$1.21/oz for silver; average ore and tailings handling cost of
US$5.10/t-processed; average processing cost of US$28.61/t processed; sustaining capital costs of US$1.60/t processed; administrative costs of
US$19.5M per year; and average mining costs of US$2.94/t mined
• Mineral Resources are reported without mining dilution and loss. Mining dilution and loss were accounted for in pit shell generation
• Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves
• Figures are rounded to reflect confidence. Some figures may not sum or average exactly due to rounding. The Competent Person deems these
small discrepancies to be immaterial
