SUNRISE DAM OBJECTIVES
Increase in annual gold production of +27% from 2017
Strategic Objectives
• High level target – 4Mtpa @ 3g/t @ 90% recovery
• Sustainable annual production of between
300,000oz – 350,000oz
• Long-term (real) AISC of US$900 - $950/oz @ US$0.75
• Deliver a long-life mine with consistent cash returns
SUNRISE DAM – OREBODY POTENTIAL

SUNRISE DAM – OREBODY POTENTIAL
• Vogue - the largest mineralised zone discovered to date
• Open down dip – step out drilling planned for 2019
• Will produce over 1Mt of ore in 2019
• Midway Shear (MWS) Steeps delivered 15 g/t stopes in Q1 2018

SUNRISE DAM – OREBODY POTENTIAL
• Carey Shear is a repetition of the upper stratigraphy
• Potential to be another significant mining area
• Mineralisation open in all directions
• Steep high grade zones continue to occur
17
SUNRISE DAM – ENDOWMENT MODELLING
18
SUNRISE DAM – EVOLVING MINING STRATEGY
• Mine design linked to RC drilling capability
• Systematic approach for development, drilling and Ore
Reserve conversion
• Optimising large stope extraction
• Underground mine management system
• Road-train haulage solution unlocks potential to lift
underground production rate
• Capitalises on existing Western Exploration Incline
19
SUNRISE DAM – RECOVERY ENHANCEMENT
• Addition of flotation and ultra-fine grind circuit to achieve
an average increase in recovery of ~8%
• Successfully commissioned on schedule in June 2018
• Capital investment of US$28 million
• Project IRR 34%
• Opportunity to increase mill throughput
LAVERTON DISTRICT UPSIDE
• Consolidation of a highly prospective 500+ sq km tenement
package in a world-class location
• Agreement to earn up to 70% in Saracen Mineral Holdings’
Butcher Well and Lake Carey tenements through
expenditure of up to A$25 million
• Encouraging exploration results to date
• Synergy with Sunrise Dam = opportunity to replace low-
grade stockpiles
20
TROPICANA – CONTINUING TO DELIVER
• Consistently delivering production and cost guidance
• 2017/18 production of 467,000oz - better than mid-
point of guidance
• On track to deliver 478,000 – 492,000oz in CY2018
• CY2019 production guidance of 515,000 – 535,000oz
