DEVELOPMENT UPDATE - ATO

The Company continues to push hard to complete the bulk of site construction by the end of 2018 with first gold production in the first half of 2019.

The ATO crushing circuit has now been successfully commissioned and is composed of a jaw crusher followed by two cone crushers producing a 25mm crushed product. The crushing circuit can produce up to 300tph, which is well over the required capacity.

Approximately 30,000t of ore has been mined from the ATO1 Deposit and stockpiled on the ROM pad for crushing. This material will be stacked on Cell 1 of the heap leach operation, which has now been completed and is ready for ore. Stacking of Cell 1 will commence in the coming days.

The ADR plant concrete foundations are now being poured and ADR construction will continue through December. The prefabricated ADR plant is in storage awaiting delivery to site for installation upon completion of siteworks and building.

The Company currently has 140 operational and construction personnel on site.
