Absolute Cash Costs and AISC (US$m)

TCC AISC

H1 2019

▪ Solar plant (feasibility underway), subject to board approval

▪ Targeting up to 12% reduction in operating costs over near-term

▪ “No-saving-is-too-small” approach to detailed supply chain review

COST SAVING OUTLOOK

Q3 PROGRESS• Absolute cash costs and AISC are in line with budget• Expect strong H2 production and free cash flow
