2Company at a Glance

Raygorodok – third largest gold deposit

in Kazakhstan located in Burabay district

of Akmola Region

Resources: 6 M oz according to JORC

Area: 67.7 sq. m.

Two pits: South & North

Mine Contract Term is estimated until

2021 (the Company has the exclusive

renewal right)

The RG Gold Company operates the development of the largest

gold ore deposit of Raygorodok based upon the Exploration

Contract No. 486 of 19/06/2000 followed by gold mining within

Novodneprovskaya Area of Burabay District, Akmola Region,

Kazakhstan.

Currently, RG Gold processes 2 MTPA of oxide ore using the

heap leaching method mined at the North and South

Raygorodok deposits.

Starting from the 3rd quarter of 2022, the sulphide ore is

expected to be processed at a new Process Plant using the

carbon-in-pulp (direct cyanidation) method.

The results of ongoing exploration work confirm the presence of

potential gold reserves in the explored territories.

3Mine Infrastructure

The Raygorodok is located along a large gold ore belt near the largest

gold deposits in Kazakhstan (Vassilkovskoye, Aksu, Zholymbet) with a

well-developed infrastructure

Site access is carried out by the Shchuchinsk - Nikolaevka asphalt road

The nearest train station is in Shchuchinsk (70 km)

The process site is power supplied via the Shchuchinsk - Nikolaevka

35 kV overhead line

The ongoing pit mining and hydrogeological drilling confirm the

presence of significant reserves and groundwater inflow

In 2014, a new 220-bed shift camp was built with all necessary

amenities. In 2017, the shift camp was expanded by 140 additional

beds.

The engineering design has been completed with further approval by

the State Expert Authority of the 220 kV HV overhead line with a length

of 66 km equipped with the required substations to connect the future

Process Plant to the national power grid as well as a water pipeline

from the Balykty reservoir.

4JORC-based estimates of the resources amounted to 6 m oz (March 2018)

According to JORC-based resource estimates conducted by AMC Company in March 2018, the resources increased by

1.4 m oz compared to the previous estimates. The increase was due to additional drilling data of 19,204 long meters.

AMC is currently calculating the reserves under the DFS (Bank Feasibility Study).

Crushing and agglomeration of ore

by a 3-line crushing and screening unit

Conveyors move agglomerated oreonto heaps that are sprinkled

with a 0.5 mg/L cyanide solution

Pregnant solution with dissolved gold is pumped

from the heaps to the hydrometallurgical circuit

Dissolved gold is adsorbedon activated carbon (adsorption)

Gold is recovered from carbon to solution by elution

Electrowinning: gold and associate metals settle on steel wool
