✓Sukari capex (sustaining & non-sustaining) US$48.0m,
largely investing in UG resource and infrastructure
expansion and routine fleet maintenance rebuilds
✓US$10.5m exploration expenditure in West Africa,
predominantly at Doropo Project resource drilling and
ABC Project regional and reconnaissance drilling
▪ Investment in technology to look at ways to improve identification and response times, i.e. Mill Ear and slope monitoring of the pit walls
▪ Ongoing fleet rebuild programme
▪ Second TSF engineering study
▪ Installation and commissioning of underground backfill plant to reduce stope dilution
▪ Continued Sukari exploration includes regional 3D seismic exploration programme, underground exploration and development

SUKARI EXPLORATION & DEVELOPMENT
DOROPO PROJECTABC GREENFIELD
EXPLORATION Sukari Underground • Ongoing Amun/Ptah underground
development and exploration opening new production faces and targeting reserve replacement
• New structural high priority target identified: Horus Deeps
Cleopatra Decline: • Ongoing drilling and development below the
final pit shell and testing the Cleo and Ptah Deeps structures
Regional : Sukari Deeps • 2D, 3D and 4D seismic work programme
underway, compiling a complete geological architecture of the tenement area from surface to >1.5km depth
Doropo Resource Area• Drilling to continue to focus on
structural resource extensions and maiden reserve
• Concurrently progressing PEA –expected by end of 2019
Doropo Regional • Drilling to follow up on positive results
delineating a potential major structure: Kilosequi, and multiple other priority targets outside the MRE and within 35km radius
Kona Permit• Targeting resource growth and new
discovery along the 23km Lolosso Gold Corridor (“LGC”)
• Testing structural extensions between Lolosso South and Central
FarakoNafana Permit• Early stage exploration, inc geological
mapping, interpretation and target generation
