Branch and the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (together Financiers) have confirmed to Avoca that it has
successfully completed the performance tests required by the Financiers as part of the conditions for the
Higginsville Gold Project financing (announced to the ASX on 21 May 2008). The performance tests
required Avoca meet certain mining production rates, mill throughput rates, ounces produced and cost
