Agenda item 4 – Operations

  • Safety
  • Achieved zero LTI’s since last CCC (August 2018)
  • Overburden
  • Overburden works continue with the development of the southern overburden and associated storm

water controls

  • Tree planting, top-soiling and hydro-mulching of these areas has commenced
  • Pit update
  • Mine plan remains a consistent Easterly direction with additional load and haul of rock from top bench

as part of the overburden works

  • Processing
  • A new excavator (150t CAT) has helped increase uptime through our primary plant
  • Continuous improvement works have helped deliver a daily record production volume just this week
  • With improved plant uptime and throughput rates we have now brought in an additional train
  • Currently in the process of building a store for parts to reduce reliance on shipping containers
  • People
  • We have recently advertised for 8 new operator roles.
  • Majority of these roles have been filled. This now takes the site to 53 full time employees.

Agenda item 6 – Environmental Performance Surface water

Quarterly monitoring round undertaken in September and November 2018 Due to lack of rain only 3 sites sampled – no flow onto the site. Analyses now compared to trigger levels Next sample round March 2019 Total Nitrogen for T1 is in compliance, levels in the dam have always been higher but have decreased during 2017 and leveled off. Marulan south creek increasing and may be due to lack of flow of water

Agenda item 6 – Environmental Performance Surface water

Total dissolved solids in compliance with the exception of Marulan south creek – due to low flow Turbidity In compliance with the exception of the dam following rain event of 43mm in the preceding 24hours

slide-23

Agenda item 6 – Environmental Performance Surface water

pH in compliance for the last rounds of sampling Total phosphorus - In compliance for T1 but showing fluctuations for the dam. May be due to changes in water level introducing nutrients from above the site and / or an increase in water fowl population in the dam. Marulan south creek shows a similar pattern, with a decrease in September and an increase following the rain event in November 2018

Agenda item 6 – Environmental Performance Ground water

  • No draw down of ground water from sentinel well .i.e. no impact on local groundwater.
slide-25
SLIDE 25

25

Agenda item 6 – Environmental Performance Ground water

  • Monitoring conducted July and October 2018
  • Measured against trigger levels
  • Continue to have Exceedances of total nitrogen and total phosphorus at some

bores (background levels are higher than guidance standards)

  • Continue to have higher than trigger levels on a range of analytes such as

chloride, sodium magnesium.

  • The majority of these results however are minor, and likely due to the poorly

developed nature of the bores and the limited dataset utilised for trigger levels development.

  • Statistical review of the results and trigger values is being commissioned
