The project includes 2 main deposit areas, comprising Jinkas in the north, and Dingo in the south. The Jinkas area is subdivided into a set of named mineralised zones including Jinkas Hangingwall, Jinkas Footwall-White Dam, Jackson, and Olympia lodes.

The majority of the project area is overlain by residual clays, with outcrop mostly limited to remnants of lateritic duricrust on topographic highs.

Gold mineralisation is hosted by medium to coarse-grained mafic gneisses, which dip at around 30° - 45° towards grid east (68°). These units represent Archaean greenstones metamorphosed to granulite facies.

The mineralised gneissic units are interlayered with barren quartz-monzonite sills up to approximately 120 m thick and are cross-cut by several Proterozoic dolerite dykes that post-date mineralisation and granulite metamorphism.

Gold predominantly occurs as free gold associated with disseminated pyrrhotite and magnetite, with lesser amounts of pyrite and chalcopyrite and traces of molybdenite. Thin remnant quartz veins are associated with higher grade zones.

The gold mineralisation at the KGP is localised along its eastern boundary by a regionally significant thrust fault-bound block which extends over at least 17 km of strike length. Thrust faults also define the eastern and western boundaries of the rocks hosting the gold mineralisation. The gold mineralisation is localised into three laterally continuous lodes which exten ........

The Project will be mined by open pit mining methods using conventional mining equipment. The final pit design is based on the Ore Reserve. The selected mining method, design and extraction sequence are tailored to suit orebody characteristics, minimise dilution and ore loss, defer waste movement, minimise rates of vertical mining advance, utilise planned processing plant capacity and expedite free cash generation – all in a safe manner.

The open pit scheduling is based on realistic mining productivity, with readily achievable mining rates and consistent material movements. The mining operating costs are based on contractors' budgeted quotes for drilling, blasting, loading and haulage, and were reviewed using first principles.

Whittle open pit optimisations were completed using the resource model created by Ausgold. The model was built with block dimensions approximating an SMU of 2.5 m by 2.5 m by 2.5 m and therefore includes sufficient dilution and ore loss for this level of study.

Pit optimisation, excluding Inferred Mineral Resource material and applying a 0.6 g/t Au cut-off grade, produced a pit shell containing 36.5 Mt of mill feed at an average grade of 1.30 g/t Au.

Pit shell selection considered both the overall project value and the current design capacity of the tailings storage facility (TSF). Based on this, the 0.85 revenue factor (RF=0.85) pit shell was selected for the pit design; however, the larger RF=1 pit shel ........
