Footnotes:

Data is reported to significant figures and differences may occur due to rounding
Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Ore Reserves

1 Includes stockpiles
* Combined figure for V2 using 0.35g/t Au cut-off and A39 using 42 g/t Ag cut-off

The gold equivalence calculation represents total metal value for each metal summed and expressed in equivalent gold grade or ounces
The prices used in the calculation being A$1350/oz Au, A$28.00/oz Ag and A$2.00/lb Cu
Metallurgical recovery to concentrate of 90.0% for gold, 92.0% for silver at V2 and 88.0% silver at A39 and 92.0% for copper as indicated by metallurgical testwork.
1 Troy Ounce = 31.1034768 grams
Au Eq for Silver = ( (Price Ag per Oz x Ag Recovery)/(Price Au per Oz x Au Recovery) ) x Ag Grade
Au Eq for Copper = ((Price Cu per lb x 2204.623) x (Cu Recovery)) / (Price Au per Oz x Au Recovery / 31.1034768) x (Cu Grade / 100)
