WILUNA TAILINGS (WILTAILS) - MAIDEN RESOURCE Highlights 620,000oz added to Wiluna free milling gold Mineral Resource base The maiden Mineral Resource for the Wiluna Tailings is 33.6Mt at 0.57 g/t Au. 77% of the Mineral Resource is classified under JORC 2012 as Indicated Resources (see Table 1) Metallurgical test work completed to date indicates a recovery of between 42-50% for the historical tailings in a standard gold leaching process similar to the existing Wiluna CIL circuit. Ongoing technical work will be completed on the tailings to confirm potential mining and processing options for possible integration into the Company’s future operations.

Initial test works have confirmed the tailings material is sized between 38-75micron removing the need for further grinding - significantly reducing re-processing costs. The tailings can be treated through the current operating CIL circuit without the need for further milling or concentration, making reprocessing a simple, low cost option.
