Given the recent softening in gold prices, Crocodile Gold has done an extensive review of its operations and projects to identify further opportunities

1. Continual Operational Review

• Operating Costs

• Consolidation of shared services in Victoria (SGM & FGM)

• Streamlined management structure at the operations (NT & SGM)

• Capital Expenditures

• Limit capital expenditures to mine development with minimal $ spend on infrastructure

• Redistribution of assets within the group, from SGM to FGM and Cosmo, reducing capital expenditures (mobile equipment, electrical equipment, etc)

• Assets sale at SGM

• On-going optimization of Cosmo, using experience of SGM & FGM

2. Projects Review

• Exploration drilling limited to on-mine resources conversion; no greenfield

• Moving ahead only on Big Hill project at this time

• Reassessing appropriate timing for UR Prospect and Pine Creek
