High-grade Ore Reserve for Redbeard
Head grade of 3.5g/t Au makes Redbeard the highest-grade open pit deposit defined at Nullagine to date
Latest exploration results at Golden Gate indicate potential for further High-Grade Resource growth
• Updated Probable Ore Reserve completed for the Redbeard open pit oxide deposit:
o 153,000t @ 3.5g/t Au for 17,200oz of contained gold
• Updated Reserve represents a Resource-to-Reserve conversion rate of ~76% and makes Redbeard the highest grade open pit deposit defined at Nullagine to date
• Mining to commence in late July, with the deposit expected to contribute to strong production growth in the second half of CY2018 towards a 100kozpa production run rate
• Exploration at Redbeard has now transitioned to deeper drilling to assess the potential for a future underground mining operation
• Further positive exploration results received from the Golden Gate Mining Centre, located adjacent to Redbeard
• Golden Gate was last mined in 2014, producing 55,952oz at an average grade of 2.58g/t Au making it one of the highest-grade open pit oxide ore sources mined at Nullagine
