1. Figures in Table may not sum due to rounding.
2. The Mineral Resources were estimated using Multiple Indicator Kriging methodology for grade estimation by Hellman and Schofield Pty Ltd.
3. The Golden Gate satellite deposits namely Falcon, Harrier, Crow, G Vein and Condor were estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology for grade estimation by CSA Global.
4. The table excludes royalties payable to third parties.5. The Golden Gate and Bartons deposits are the subject of a mining licence agreement whereby Millennium has the sole and exclusive right to explore and mine gold and other minerals Millennium then is required to pay 25% of the net proceeds to the tenement owners (Livestock Marketing Pty Ltd Duncan Thomas Young Simba Holdings Pty Ltd andminerals. Millennium then is required to pay 25% of the net proceeds to the tenement owners (Livestock Marketing Pty Ltd, Duncan Thomas Young, Simba Holdings Pty Ltd and Ronald Lane Swinney) after mining and processing cost deductions.

Initial test work indicated up to 70% recoveryMineralised waste, below mill cut-off grade, free carried to surface ( circa 5Mt @ 0.7 g/t for 112koz’s )Low grade mineralisation identified SW of Golden Eagle along mineralised structures. T t f 5 t 20 Mt t t t d f 0 4 0 9 /t A ( 100k 400k )Target range of 5 to 20 Mt at a target grade of 0.4 – 0.9 g/t Au ( 100koz – 400koz ).Further heap leach test work warranted
Th i f i l i h “T ” d “ d ” h ld b i d dThe information relating to the terms “Target range” and “target grade” should not be misunderstood ormisconstrued as an estimate of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves as defined by the JORC code (2004) andtherefore the terms have not been used in this context. It is uncertain whether further exploration or feasibility studywill result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve.For
