Thereader is also cautioned that the foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actualactions, events or results to differ materially from those described in forward-lookingstatements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ fromthose anticipated, estimated or intended.

INTERIM RESULTS REVIEWContinued operational progress
1. As per full year revised guidance published on 25 May 2018
2. Non-GAAP measures and are defined in the Financial Review of our Interim Results, announced 2 August 2018
Factors impacting performance Cause Response
Open pit grade• Transitional zone thicker than expected with
lower than expected grades✓ Enhanced grade control drilling✓ Personnel change
Underground stope tonnage
• Long hole drill rig ("LHDR") damaged, causing disruptions and temporary suspension of stoping
• Increased cascade stoping leading to increased dilution
✓ Repaired LHDR, restoring availability and utilisation in line with mine plan
✓ Stope tonnes improved✓ High-grade stope sequence deferred 3
months✓ A reserve LHDR ordered, expected in Q4
Underground development grade• Increased development tonnages due to lower
stoping production‐ Personnel change
Underground stope grade• Greater than expected dilution from high-volume
mining method (cascade stope mining)
‐ Reducing contribution from higher dilution mining methods
‐ Improved controls continue to be implemented

• The effective date of the reserve and resource statement is 30 June 2017 or 30 June 2015 as relevant• Totals may not equal the sum of the components due to rounding adjustments• The Mineral Resource is reported above 2g/t within interpreted mineralised domains• The Mineral Resource estimate is depleted by underground mine workings as at 30 June 2017• All available information has been used including mapping from underground mining and assays as at 30 June 2017• Available resource data resulted in 41,277 one metre down hole composites used for grade estimation
• The Mineral Resources were estimated utilising a single Indicator weighted Kriging method (IK) to estimate gold for each of the mineralisation domains
SUKARI RESOURCES
• Measured Mineral Resources are defined by a drill spacing of at least 20m x 20m and confined to the interpreted mineralisation defined by underground mine development. Indicated Mineral Resources are defined as areas outside the Measured Mineral Resource and defined by approximately 20m x 20m drill spacing. Inferred Mineral Resources include all remaining estimated mineralisation defined by a drill spacing of approximately 50m x 50m
• Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of those resources converted to Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves.
• The underground resource is located within the boundaries of the total resource, and is included within that total

SUKARI LONG TERM SUSTAINABILITYOrebody remains open at depth
▪ Underground exploration and development strategy remains:
‐ Reserve replacement
‐ Resource growth and improved classification
‐ Maintain development at >3yrs ahead of mining
‐ Reduce sensitivity to equipment downtime
▪ H1 drilled 20,254m from Amun/Ptah and 14,209 from Cleopatra, as scheduled and under budget
▪ H2 forecast drill programme:
‐ 4 rigs targeting reserve and resource expansion:
1. Cleopatra2. Ptah deeps: Northern extensions;
Extensions along the Eastern Contact3. Ptah Keel: Infill drilling; Eastern and
Western resource extension 4. Top of Horus

▪ Sukari is a world-class gold district (+15Moz)hosted on a major ANS terrane boundary, aNW verging, obducted, ophiolite thrust belt.
▪ Sukari Resources are currently drill definedaround the 2.5km long by 0.6km deep Sukariporphyry which sits axially within a muchwider 17km long by 3.7km ophiolite shearzone.
▪ There are 7 main surface prospects hostedalong 5 primary domain gold trends, withinthe license. All surface prospects are withintrucking distance to the existing processingplant and infrastructure.
▪ Q2 2018 successfully completed the firststage petrophysics for the application of 3Dseismics across the license area.
▪ Conduct further DTH geophysics in H2 2018;Start 2D Seismic sections in Q1 2019, withwhich to construct a robust district 3D geo-seismic architecture of the license area todepths >1.5km, targeting potential newSukari-style porphyries.
