Exploration
 Refer to Exploration Update released to the ASX on 22 January 20264
 Mars and Saturn drilling has identified additional mineralisation beneath existing
underground mines with an exploration target range set at 6.0 - 7.0Mt at a grade of 2.1 - 2.6g/t
for 400,000 - 600,000 ounces5
 High-grade exploration strategy continues with 12 surface rigs and 4 underground rigs
currently drilling across the portfolio, exploration spend (incl resource definition) in the
quarter was A$24.8 million
Rebecca-Roe update

5
The potential quality and grade of the exploration target is conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration conducted to determine a
mineral resource and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of a mineral resource or that an exploration
target will be realised.

SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT, HERITAGE & COMMUNITY
Safety
There were seven (7) Restricted Work Injuries (RWI) recorded during the Quarter (no Lost Time
Injuries). The Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) was 12.18 (refer Figure 2), which was
marginally higher than at the end of the previous Quarter. This is an extremely disappointing
result. We have investigated all of these incidents and the learnings from these have been shared
with all of our sites including our contract partners. The Company’s safety focus continues to be
on driving a pro-active safety culture.

Environment, Heritage & Community
There were no significant environmental, heritage or community related incidents reported
during the Quarter.
PRODUCTION & FINANCIAL SUMMARIES
Production for December 2025 Quarter
Group and Mt Magnet gold production was 45,610 ounces at an AISC of A$1,977/oz for the
December 2025 Quarter. Lower production was the result of lower grades which was in line with
plan expectations and as advised in the September 2025 Quarterly Report. The decline in grade
was primarily due to lower grades mined from Cue during the Quarter.
Production and cost Guidance remains as per the FY26 Guidance announced in October 20256.
Growth Capital (Non-Sustaining Capital) and Exploration for December 2025 Quarter
Growth capital investment for the Quarter was A$51M which related to underground
development at Never Never, the commencement of the Stage 2 cutback at Break of Day and
infrastructure at both Dalgaranga and Mt Magnet. Exploration, resource definition and project
study investment for the Quarter totalled A$24.8M and was focussed at Mt Magnet, Penny and
Rebecca-Roe. Refer to the Exploration Update4 released to the ASX on 22 January 2026 for further
discussion on exploration activities in the Quarter.
Both growth capital and exploration investment remains in line with FY26 Guidance6.

Open Pits - Cue
Material movement for the Quarter was 31% higher than the prior Quarter with the third
excavation fleet in place for the entire Quarter and operations focussed on the cutback for Stage
2 of the Break of Day pit. This was supplemented with mining at the White Heat, Lena and
Leviticus open pits with the overall strip ratio across Cue being marginally higher than the prior
Quarter as a result. Total open pit tonnes mined were 15% down on the prior Quarter with the
mined grade being 41% lower due to lower grades in the initial cutback at Stage 2 Break of Day.
All open pit mining, whilst down on the prior Quarter, was in line with expectations.
After a period of positive reconciliation (as detailed in previous Quarterly Reports), mine
reconciliation performance at Cue has returned to closer to the model predictions as the pits
transitioned from the weathered zone into fresh rock.
7
For the Quarter, a total of 341kt of ore grading at 1.44g/t was mined for 15,736 ounces of contained
gold from the Break of Day, White Heat, Leviticus and Lena pits at Cue.
Haulage of Cue ore to Mt Magnet was uninterrupted in the Quarter with tonnages increasing 19%
from the prior Quarter. A total of 240kt of ore at a grade of 2.01g/t was hauled to and processed
at Mt Magnet during the Quarter. At the end of the Quarter a total of 506kt of ore was stockpiled
at an average grade of 0.95g/t.
