    The Kalkaroo Project provides Havilah shareholders with significant leverage to gold and copper prices.

    As we all know, the Kalkaroo PFS is based on an open pit JORC Ore Reserve of 474,000 tonnes of copper and 1.41 million ounces of gold.

    Per the PFS dated 18 June 2019, at metal prices of copper US$2.89/lb (A$3.86/lb) and gold US$1,200/oz (A$1,600/oz) and (using FX of A$:US$0.75) the Kalkaroo Project generates a pre-tax NPV7.5% (net present value) of A$564 million:

    Using these same metal prices, Havilah said the post-tax NPV7.5% of the Kalkaroo Project was A$361 million.

    I have prepared a post-tax NPV7.5% matrix (see below) to generate discussion:

    Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5 Column 6 Column 7 Column 8 Column 9 Column 10 Column 11 Column 12 Column 13 Column 14 Column 15
    1                              
    2                              
    3                              
    4 Post-tax A$ million NPV7.5% (estimated) Gold A$/ ounce                          
    5 Copper A$/lb 1,333 1,467 1,600 1,733 1,867 2,001 2,135 2,269 2,403 2,537 2,671 2,805 2,939 3,073
    6 3.33 109 153 197 241 285 329 373 417 461 506 550 594 638 682

    9 4.13 358 403 447 490 534 579 623 667 711 755 799 844 888 932

    It is clear the Kalkaroo Project provides Havilah shareholders with significant leverage to current high gold prices.

    For example, at the current spot metal prices of gold A$2,551/oz (US$1,744/oz), copper A$3.82/lb (US$2.61/lb) and FX A$:US$0.6834 results in an 85% increase in the post-tax NPV7.5% to ~A$669 million (from A$361 million, PFS base case of gold A$1,600/oz and copper A$3.86/lb).

    From this post-tax NPV7.5% matrix, you are free to choose a gold price, copper price and/or FX rate to come up with your own post-tax NPV7.5% for the Kalkaroo Project.

    Notes:
    1. All tables are reported in Australian dollars.
    2. Effective tax rate, I calculated from the PFS, was 36%.
    3. The table for the PFS used a 49% recovery for Saprolite Gold ore: ~252,350 ounces of gold. The tables above exclude any improvement from the metallurgical test work which recovered 92% or an additional ~221,450 ounces of gold.
    4. For every A$134/oz change in the gold price in the tables, the pre-tax NPV7.5% moves by A$69 million and the post-tax NPV7.5% moves by A$44 million.
    5. A significant increase in metal prices will also increase the Kalkaroo Project's Internal Rate of Return ('IRR') from it base case post-tax NPV7.5% of 21% IRR.

    Food for thought!
