AMC modelled two cases for the Marda Project based <strong>on</strong> different forecasts for mining and processing<br />

t<strong>on</strong>nages, gold grades and costs.<br />

• Case 1, ore producti<strong>on</strong>, is primarily based <strong>on</strong> the feasibility study scenario using Ore Reserves, and<br />

that part <strong>of</strong> Minerals Resources included in the mine plan provided to AMC. AMC added additi<strong>on</strong>al<br />

ore to the producti<strong>on</strong> case in years 5 and 6 <strong>of</strong> the schedule based <strong>on</strong> the likelihood <strong>of</strong> c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong><br />

<strong>of</strong> near mine Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves and explorati<strong>on</strong> success also c<strong>on</strong>tributing to<br />

additi<strong>on</strong>al Ore Reserves.<br />

• Case 2, ore producti<strong>on</strong>, includes that scheduled in Case 1, <strong>with</strong> the additi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> two years’<br />

producti<strong>on</strong> simulated to reflect the likely c<strong>on</strong>versi<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> additi<strong>on</strong>al minerals resources to ore<br />

reserves and the likely success <strong>with</strong> explorati<strong>on</strong> in the Marda regi<strong>on</strong>. AMC has included additi<strong>on</strong>al<br />

producti<strong>on</strong> to extend the life <strong>of</strong> mine for two years to reflect further explorati<strong>on</strong> success.<br />

The two cases have been provided as a lower and upper range <strong>of</strong> likely outcomes for the Marda Project.<br />

For the purposes <strong>of</strong> our valuati<strong>on</strong>, we have adopted both cases to form the basis for our lower and upper<br />

value ranges <strong>of</strong> the Marda Project derived from the Adjusted Marda Model.<br />

A copy <strong>of</strong> AMC’s report is included in Appendix 4.<br />
