Key aspects <strong>of</strong> AMC's case 2 model are:<br />

• Assumpti<strong>on</strong>s as in case 1 for the first 4 years <strong>of</strong> producti<strong>on</strong>.<br />

• An additi<strong>on</strong>al 1 milli<strong>on</strong> t<strong>on</strong>nes <strong>of</strong> ore at a grade 2.31 g/t is added to the end <strong>of</strong> the mine life. AMC<br />

has assumed that operating costs are the same as those incurred in year 2014 for the extensi<strong>on</strong><br />

period. The head grade is based <strong>on</strong> the project average. The 1 Mt represents 50% <strong>of</strong> the Marda<br />

Inferred Resource c<strong>on</strong>verting to Ore Reserves. The average project head grade has been applied.<br />

• Processing recoveries are assumed to be 92% in the extensi<strong>on</strong> years to reflect a lower c<strong>on</strong>fidence<br />

in the recovery characteristics for this material.<br />

• Total gold producti<strong>on</strong> <strong>of</strong> 246 koz <strong>of</strong> gold.<br />
