- Pre-tax NPV8 of $547M at A$2,800/oz, increasing to $690M at A$3,100/oz.

Upgraded Mineral Resources Estimate 4 March 2024 for the project area of:
- 24.9Mt @ 1.66g/t Au totalling 1.33Moz of gold at 0.5g/t cutoff.
- Increase of 7.7% in contained gold over the 24 November 2023 ASX Release.
- LJN4 contains 15.4Mt at 1.92g/t and the contained gold has risen 11% from 852,000oz to 948,200oz.
- Ongoing extension drilling continues at LJN4 with 12 diamond holes for 4900m, which is expected to result in further resource increases as the northern and southern parts are still open downdip.
After a significant intersection of 16m at 4.51g/t from 411m, which was a very large 200m step out below the current resource six deeper holes were drilled to ascertain the depth continuity in other parts of the LJN4 Deposit. Some compelling intersections were outlined.

A program of work has been initiated to take the project from pre-feasibility to feasibility level by the end of 2024. This program has commenced and includes”
- Front end engineering for the processing plant with a view to ordering long lead items by early 2025.
- Resource definition drilling to boost confidence in the early production years.
