Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Reporting Requirements
As a company with securities listed on the ASX, Gindalbie is required to report its ore reserves and mineral resources in compliance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of
Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the “JORC Code”). While Gindalbie’s reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not
comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries, and do not comply with the U.S. SEC's Industry Guide 7, which, among other things, may require the use of different
assumptions for the estimation of reserves, and does not recognise mineral resources. Accordingly, Gindalbie would not be permitted to report mineral resources in an SEC filing.
Investors should note that Gindalbie's ore reserves may be lower if they were calculated under Industry Guide 7 and that its mineral resources are not proved or probable
reserves, for the purposes of Industry Guide 7 and there can be no assurance that such mineral resources will ultimately be converted into such reserves or that Gindalbie will be
able to legally and economically extract them.

announcement are based on assumptions and contingencies which are subject to change without notice, as are statements about market and industry trends, which are based on

Forward-looking statements including projections, indications or guidance on future earnings or financial position and estimates are provided as a general guide only and should

extent permitted by law, Gindalbie and its directors, officers, employees, advisers, agents and intermediaries disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release any updates or
