AMC and management <strong>of</strong> PLY advise that ore is predominantly mined upfr<strong>on</strong>t and is stockpiled and<br />
processed over the life <strong>of</strong> the Project.<br />
Mt Boppy Case 1<br />
Key aspects <strong>of</strong> AMC's Case 1 model are:<br />
• The mining and processing schedules are based <strong>on</strong> the LOM plan provided in the feasibility study<br />
and financial model.<br />
• 587 kt <strong>of</strong> ore at a head grade <strong>of</strong> 4.28 g/t is mined and processed over a 25 m<strong>on</strong>th period. This<br />
represents all <strong>of</strong> the Ore Reserves and approximately 40 kt <strong>of</strong> the Inferred Mineral Resource.<br />
• A total <strong>of</strong> 64 koz <strong>of</strong> gold are produced.<br />
• AMC increased the estimated mining period by six m<strong>on</strong>ths to effectively lower the assumed mining<br />
productivities and fast development rates in the supplied model.<br />
• Project commences in the first quarter <strong>of</strong> 2014. However, SXG advise that producti<strong>on</strong> is likely to<br />
be delayed until the first quarter <strong>of</strong> 2015, therefore we have valued the Mt Boppy Project <strong>on</strong> this<br />
basis.<br />
• Average unit mining costs <strong>of</strong> $3.90/t <strong>of</strong> material moved are used.<br />
• Average processing costs <strong>of</strong> $33.48/t ore processed.<br />
• AMC added an allowance <strong>of</strong> $0.7M for additi<strong>on</strong>al closure costs.<br />
• AMC added a c<strong>on</strong>tingency <strong>of</strong> $1M to the capital estimate relating to the assumed availability <strong>of</strong><br />
sec<strong>on</strong>d-hand equipment.<br />
