Cash positive despite the lower gold price, Q4 and FY 2015 Results, 18 February 2016

  • Q4 2015: 20% increase in production due

to increase in tonnes and higher grade

  • 2015 exploration: Prospective gold

anomalies on the Speedway Trend identified in reconnaissance reverse circulation drilling, and some positive indications on the Eastern Causeway, including intercepts up to 40.2m @ 1.6 g/t (10.4m @ 3.7 g/t) at the Retribution project

  • 2016 outlook: Lower production due to

closure of Athena and outperformance on grade from Neptune ore in early 2015

Regional exploration

  • Major evaluation of regional lease holding

commenced in 2015

  • Over 56km of aircore drilled in 2015 –

returning an abundance of anomalous intersections and highlighting several new areas of interest. 96km of follow-up and new programs in plan for 2016

  • Establishing geological framework, as was

successfully applied at St Ives, key to improved geological understanding and future target generation

  • Diamond drill testing at Alabama has

intersected (low grade) anomalous intervals with visible gold observed in the core

  • Studies to optimise a potential open pit

(~75koz) and underground (~350koz) at Granny Smith are underway
