Figure 1 - Location MC4113

Terramin administer and maintain the mineral claim and exploration licences and the other statutory instruments required by legislation and regulation.

1.1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN

This Community Engagement Plan (CEP) is a document that 1. clearly identifies key stakeholders within the community; and 2. outlines the framework for how Terramin Australia Ltd (Terramin) and its subsidiary will engage with the stakeholders during all stages of the development, operation and ultimate closure of the Project. When entering a region to explore for minerals, Terramin undertakes to firstly understand the community in which it will be working and identifies the community stakeholders that will be impacted by or have an interest in the project. Consultation will continue for the life of the Project. It occurs alongside initial mine exploration and planning stages and is continually updated during exploration, mining and mine closure phases. Its primary aim is to; 1

● enhance and encourage positive relations between all parties and ● clearly disseminate information about the company’s plans, the project, its associated activities and the potential impacts, both adverse and positive, which may accrue, ● details about how this information flow will be achieved ● manage the identification of and response to issues raised by stakeholders. Terramin will rely on range of engagement tools and activities for communicating and consulting with the community. Terramin’s proactive approach facilitates opportunities for the community and other stakeholders to identify and address issues of concern. Terramin maintains a Community Engagement Register; Community Issues Register; Complaints Register and Risk Register. The company has a clearly defined complaints procedure outlined in section 10, page 30. The CEP will be regularly reviewed to reflect changes in the mining operation and community. Terramin is committed to working with communities where we operate to maximise the benefits and minimise the impacts resulting from our activities. Terramin complies with statutory requirements and accepted industry standards and has developed internal standards and procedures to fulfil its Community Engagement Policy commitments.

1.2 LEGISLATIVE CONTEXT

Stakeholder consultation in relation to mining projects in South Australia is controlled by the Mining Act 1971 (SA) and the associated Mining Regulations 2011, regulated by the Department for State Development. Guidelines have been developed by the Government to assist with the regulations, and include, but are not limited to,

● MG4 Guidelines: landowner rights and access arrangements in relation to mineral exploration and mining in South Australia

● MG1 Guidelines for miners: mining approval processes in South Australia

● Bespoke BiH Ministerial determination: Terramin has been provided with a bespoke Ministerial Determination which has taken into account the concerns of the community, which along with the minimum information required to be provided in a mining proposal or management plan for a mineral lease (ML) and any associated miscellaneous purposes licence (MPL) applications for metallic and industrial minerals (excluding extractive minerals, coal and uranium), requires Terramin to present specific details on hydrogeology and economic impact and benefits of the project.

● Ministerial determination 005: Minimum information required to be provided in a program for environment protection and rehabilitation (PEPR) for a mineral lease (ML) and any associated miscellaneous purposes licence (MPL) for metallic and industrial minerals (excluding extractive minerals, coal and uranium Terramin recognises that a key element of the South Australian government approach to community engagement is “Better Together”: 1. we know why we are engaging and we communicate this clearly 2. we know who to engage 3. we know the background and history

4. we begin early 5. we are genuine 6. we are creative, relevant and engaging. Additionally, the South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy have developed a Code of Practice for Community and Stakeholder Engagement, which outlines the foundational principles and responsibilities of the mining industry to the community in South Australia. Our approach to community and stakeholder engagement is informed by these standards and guidelines.

2 PROJECT CONTEXT

Site: Bird in Hand Gold Project, Woodside, SA Mining stage: Development Bird in Hand is a historic gold mine that operated between 1881 and 1938. Bird-in-Hand was historically one of the major mines within the Woodside Goldfield. Records obtained by Terramin show the presence of two major shafts (approx. 125m deep),1 three minor shafts (between 8m and 45m deep) and up to five other (disused) shafts. Gold mineralisation occurred in the Woodside Goldfield in quartz-sulphide reefs within Umberatana Group quartzite and schist. Sulphide minerals included pyrite, galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite. Groundwater in the vicinity of the mine is reported at depths of around 45m and is controlled by regional structural regimes. The Commonwealth Government purchased the site in 1927, and it was used as the nearby Woodside (Inverbrackie) Army Barracks water supply from the 1930s until about 19672.

2.1 WOODSIDE

The Project will involve the development of an underground mine, tunnelling beneath the historic workings to access the gold ore at a depth of around 140 metres and below. The ore will be mined using a cut and fill mining method. This method allows for full access to the hanging wall for installing ground support and ground water mitigation. Cemented grouting techniques will be utilised in zones bearing high water volumes, such as faults containing fractured rock to ensure minimal impact on regional aquifers. The surface infrastructure will include offices, workshops, water recycling/treatment facilities, mullock stockpiles and a backfill plant. Ore processing at Woodside will be isolated to sorting and sizing of mullock to enable re-use underground to refill the stope voids in the Bird In Hand mine.

2.2 STRATHALBYN

When mine operations commence at the Project, ore will be brought to the surface, stored in an ore silo prior to being loaded into road going trucks for transport to the Angas processing facility near Strathalbyn SA. The approval process for this will be completed through the implementation of a miscellaneous purpose licence (MPL).

2.2.1 MPL - Strathalbyn Section 52 of the Mining Act 1971 (SA) allows the Minister to grant a MPL to any person in respect of mineral land for:

1 Clarke, Dr Philip. ‘Report on The Bird-In-Hand Heritage Assessment for a Mining Lease Application’ Unpublished, 2016.

2 "Water at Woodside‟ (Register News Pictorial, 19th April 1929, p.10).

• the carrying on of any business that may conduce to the effective conduct of mining operations or provide amenities for persons engaged in the conduct of mining operations; • establishing and operating plant for the treatment of ore recovered in the course of mining operations; • drainage from a mine; • the disposal of overburden or any waste produced by mining operations; or • any other purpose directly relating to the conduct of mining operations. A MPL lain over the existing AZM Mining Lease (ML6229) will allow the existing processing facilities and tailings storage facility at Strathalbyn to be utilised in order to beneficiate the ore from Bird in Hand. This activity is required to achieve economic and practical mining activities on the existing mining lease owned by Terramin. This will facilitate better environmental outcomes for South Australia.

3 INTERNAL STRUCTURE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Terramin recognises that good management of community relationships is as necessary to our business success as the development and management of our operations. Good performance requires everyone in Terramin to accept responsibility for community relationships.

The CEP is based on a model of continuous community engagement for the life of the project.

To date stakeholders have had 463* unique interactions with the project team (*NOTE- this figure excludes attendance figures from community meetings; drop in days or presentations). In addition to this Terramin have hosted or presented at a number of community events, as detailed in Table 3 - Stakeholder Engagement Summary. Early consultation has ensured community and landowner input has been factored into the mine design and has influenced the location of key infrastructure and improved environmental monitoring and management. The following executive roles are responsible for implementing the Community Engagement Plan; Chief Executive Officer Chief Technical Officer Superintendent – Environment and Community Community Relations Specialists

4 STAKEHOLDER AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

4.1 OBJECTIVES

Terramin has developed and adheres to the following engagement objectives, which support the efficient development, smooth operation and closure of the Bird in Hand Gold Project: ● To inform stakeholders of the nature of the Project in a timely way; ● To promote community confidence by ensuring open and transparent discussion; ● To develop effective relationships with the community and key stakeholders; ● To ensure local community knowledge, views and concerns can be identified and addressed; ● To ensure regulatory requirements and expectations are met.

These objectives will continue to apply in the development of the project and informing the MLP and subsequent Project PEPR, if approval is given.

4.2 ENGAGEMENT TOOLS AND ACTIVITIES

Terramin will draw on various engagement tools and activities (as detailed in Table 1 to communicate and engage with stakeholders. Table 1 - Engagement Activity Description

4.3 ENGAGEMENT APPROACH

Terramin aims to build enduring relationships with our neighbours that are built on mutual respect, active partnership and long-term commitment.

Terramin has considered the approaches that could be considered to engage with stakeholders and will draw on a spectrum, which includes opportunities to; INFORM Provide balanced and objective information to assist understanding of issues, alternatives, opportunities and solutions; to those stakeholders who prefer information only. CONSULT Obtain stakeholder feedback on issues, alternatives, opportunities and solutions, with those stakeholders who want their opinions heard. INVOLVE Engagement with stakeholders who may have a higher level of expertise or insight on an issue and want to provide feedback, alternatives, opportunities and solutions. COLLABORATE A higher level of engagement, which establishes partnerships with stakeholders to develop alternatives and the identification of preferred solutions. EMPOWER The highest level of community decision making, where decisions of the public are implemented. A key example of this is a ballot. Empowerment is not an outcome of community engagement in this project but is an integral stage of the engagement continuum. The Terramin approach has also drawn on and been informed by; • DPC Guidelines • Ministerial determinations • South Australian government framework: “Better Together”: • South Australian Chamber of Mines and Energy Code of Practice for Community and Stakeholder Engagement • Good Practice guides and guidance

4.3.1 Tailoring Engagement Terramin tailors engagement to meet the expectations of the stakeholders. The level of engagement will consider and reflect the stakeholder group’s level of interest. Terramin notes that with increasing levels of engagement the community can and does have greater impact. Figure 2, below adopted from The City of Burlington Community Engagement Charter3 encapsulates the work of IAP2 spectrum of public participation. Terramin endeavours to involve and collaborate with all stakeholders, the Community Engagement Process described herein encapsulates how Terramin do this and the outcomes to date. As indicated in Table 2, Terramin is endeavouring to have a high level of engagement with key stakeholders.

Figure 2 - Spectrum of Engagement

4.3.2 CEP Evolution Terramin recognises engagement with the community is an ongoing and continuous process and consequently the document regarded as the CEP - Community Engagement Plan, is reviewed, revised and added to as community feedback is gleaned.

4.4 TERRAMIN ADMINISTRATION

Terramin have developed an array of tools and templates to monitor and record community feedback and engagement.

These templates include; • Contact Form • Feedback Form • Community Engagement Register • Community Issues Register • Complaints Register

4.4.1 Contact Form Each unplanned contact received by a Terramin staff will be recorded onto a contact form (refer Appendix 1, page 33), which records; • Contact Name • Date

• Nature of contact (personal, letter, phone call) • Matter raised • Recorder and Internal referral. • Action required

The contact form is then forwarded to Terramin Environment and Community Department, and details extracted and added to the Community Engagement Register.

4.4.2 Feedback Form Each community event presents a feedback form with details unique to the function. This form is an opportunity for the community to comment on the event and to provide contact details (to be added to the mailing lists).

Information provided may be added to the Community Issues Register, if details other than feedback on the event are provided.

A copy of a feedback form is included at, page 34.

4.4.3 Community Engagement Register Terramin administer an internal Community Engagement Register, which is a record of all communications Terramin representatives have with stakeholders and the public. This register was introduced in March 2015. The register identifies stakeholders and their primary grouping, the purpose of interactions, method, any arising issues and any actions resulting from the contact. This register is a tool to track conversations, queries and concerns, which informs, the community issues register and the complaints register. The Community Engagement Register remains a live document to allow Terramin staff to monitor consistent communications with stakeholders and identify arising issues.

4.4.4 Community Issues Register The Community Issues Register allows Terramin staff to capture and maintain information on issues raised by stakeholders about the Bird In Hand project. This informs the information Terramin presents to the community including the content of the newsletters.

The Issues Register assigns a priority and an officer of Terramin who is responsible for responding to the stakeholder and reporting actions.

4.4.5 Complaints Register The Complaints Register records those issues, which have been escalated and which are a clear expression of dissatisfaction made about or to Terramin where a response is expected or required explicitly or implicitly and which may have legal consequences.

To date (June 2017) Terramin have recorded two (2) complaints, both of which were referenced in DPC correspondence to Terramin on 31 May 2017. The complaints reinforced the importance of continuous engagement with our immediate neighbours and how essential it is to provide accurate and timely information to all stakeholders. Terramin has responded directly to the complainants.

5 UNDERSTANDING THE COMMUNITY

The entirety of the land covering the Mineral Claim (MC) is zoned rural development, within the Adelaide Hills Council boundaries approximately 25km from Adelaide in the Federal District of Mayo and State District of Kavel.

5.1 WOODSIDE

The eastern fringe of the township of Woodside is located approximately 1200m from the western most point of the MC.

Woodside community amenities include a police station, medical centre, library and a recreation centre, which includes a football oval, netball and tennis courts, bowls club and swimming pool. There is a privately owned and operated airstrip opposite the MC.

The Woodside Army Barracks are located approximately 1500m to the south-west of the MC at Inverbrackie.

Figure 5 - MC 4113 locale in relation to Woodside

5.2 DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILE

The 2016 4census data reflected Woodside (postcode 5244) population data as;

• Permanent population of approximately 26085, with almost equal proportions of males and females (50.4:49.6); • The median age of the population is 43, compared to the South Australian average of 40, and the Australian average of 38; • Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples make up 0.4% of the total population;

4 Source http://www.censusdata.abs.gov.au/census_services/getproduct/census/2016/quickstat/SSC41627?opendocument

• Approximately 18% of the population were born overseas, with the largest overseas denomination hailing from England (4.9% of the total population). • The median weekly income for all persons aged over 15 years is $627 compared to South Australian median of $600 and Australian median of $662.

5.3 REGIONAL VISITATION

According to data available from Tourism SA, approximately one million visit the Adelaide Hills every year, these visitors contribute an estimated $110 million per annum 6 in direct tourism spend.

95% of visitors to the region were domestic most of whom (64%) were visiting family and friends. 48% of visitors experience dining and cafes in the region and 15% visit wineries. 7

5.4 LAND USE - AGRICULTURE

The majority of the surrounding land is currently used for either livestock grazing pasture, agriculture or horticulture (generally planted vineyards). Extensive irrigation in the catchment is predominantly for horticulture and viticulture while less intensive irrigation is associated with dairy farming and grazing8. Irrigation of orchards, grapevines and pasture increased substantially

6Adelaide Hills Regional Strategic Tourism Plan 2015-2020 (http://www.tourism.sa.gov.au/assets/documents/SA%20Tourism/AdelaideHillsRegionalStrategicTourismPlan_2015- 2020.pdf) 7 Tourism Research Australia – Tourism Profiles (http://tra.gov.au/Tourism_Region_Profiles/Region_profiles/index.html#) 8http://www.naturalresources.sa.gov.au/files/sharedassets/adelaide_and_mt_lofty_ranges/water/water_allocation_plan s_docs/wmlr-wap-overview-factpdf.pdf

in the Central Hills region in the preceding 20 years, with the inclusion of apples, strawberries and vineyards in the Inverbrackie Creek sub-catchment. The Western Mount Loft Ranges Water Allocation Plan regulates all groundwater abstraction within the Inverbrackie Creek sub- catchment.

Between the 2000-01 and 2005-06 Agricultural Censuses, the area of agricultural use decreased by 8%, or 2,971Ha. The Adelaide Hills experienced an increase in agricultural land holdings over this period, with a 22% increase of agricultural establishments9 . This reflects the changing nature of the Adelaide Hills, with an increasing pattern of agricultural land fragmentation, as a result sub- divisions and urban developments.

5.5 PROXIMAL BUSINESS AND RESIDENCES

The recently constructed Petaluma Winery and cellar door is within the mineral claim. The Bird in Hand Winery, vineyard and cellar door, both adjoin the western boundary of the MC. A third cellar door, Artwine, is in close proximity to the north-east of the MC. Pasture both within and surrounding the MC is used predominantly for beef cattle.

There are four residential houses, located within the MC, three of which are occupied. The forth dwelling is owned by Terramin and is currently vacant.

6 STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION AND ENGAGEMENT

Stakeholders are noted as all those persons (individuals or groups) who have an interest in the Project and can have an influence on or can be influenced by its development. Stakeholder groups and their levels of interest are anticipated to change over the life of the Project. Terramin have considered the level of interest and engagement exhibited by a stakeholder varies dependent on the phase of the project and their proximity to it.

6.1 STAKEHOLDER IDENTIFICATION

An internal stakeholder analysis was completed to provide the basis for consultation for the Project and included the identification of all stakeholders to date. Stakeholder mapping is acknowledged as a valuable tool to assist in effective stakeholder engagement throughout the life of the Project, noting that groups change, as does type and level of impact. The stakeholder mapping process for this phase in the Project lifecycle identified 13 stakeholder groups as having an interest in or influence on the Project as defined in Table 2 overleaf. These stakeholder groupings have been reviewed throughout the engagement process. In particular, during the public meetings to establish the Woodside Community Consultative Committee and the Drop-In Days individuals described their relationship to the project. No additional groups have come to light during these engagements. Table 2 - Stakeholder Groupings definition

7 STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND CONSULTATION

Terramin places great importance on early stakeholder engagement to ensure the success of the Bird in Hand Gold Project and as such has undertaken a comprehensive community and stakeholder engagement process. This engagement process will continue as the project progresses.

Terramin have engaged in a range of ways (refer Table 3) including; • Advertising and articles • Brochures; discussion papers • Community Information Sessions • Correspondence • Site Tours • Newsletters; Community Updates • One-One Meetings • Questionnaires: Surveys • Technical workshops and focus groups • Speaking Engagements • Website

The following sections consider particular stakeholder groupings and strategies specific to their needs. Terramin’s focus is to continue an open relationship with all stakeholders throughout the entire life of the Project.

7.1 LANDHOLDERS (IMMEDIATE AND REGIONAL)

Terramin has conducted informal consultation with residents and agricultural landholders within, and in the immediate vicinity of the Mineral Claim (MC). Since December 2013, this has involved regular contact through the period 2014 -2017 whilst participating in the Terramin’s water quality census.

All landholders, including viticulturists and major agricultural landholders, receive newsletters and correspondence updating them of Terramin’s progress with the project, and preliminary results of environmental research undertaken to date.

All immediate landholders have been invited to community meetings and technical workshops and are invited to voice their concerns throughout the presentations.

7.2 LOCAL COMMUNITIES

Since the inception of the Project, Terramin have produced 4 newsletters. Initially (edition 1 and 2) these newsletters were distributed via local (Woodside) businesses and through interest groups and a mailing list. Since March 2016, these newsletters have been distributed to all households in the 5244 postcode, which is the corridor between Woodside and Mount Torrens.

7.3 CATCHMENT GROUNDWATER USERS

7.3.1 Inverbrackie Groundwater Focus Group Meetings Between 2014 – 2015, Terramin facilitated four (4) information sessions with members of the Inverbrackie Groundwater Focus Group (IGFG) and invited guests. IGFG includes local community, landholders, local councillors and MPs, and local Landcare members. The focus of these meetings 17

has been primarily groundwater, however, other environmental concerns have also been raised and discussed.

7.3.2 Perceptions Survey A perceptions (voluntary) survey regarding local concerns about the project was conducted at the second information session with the IGFG, in July 2014 to capture the attendees’ perspective on;

1. What is your interest in the area? 2. Do you have any questions or concerns regarding the Project? 3. Do you have any other comments you would like to add?

The purpose of the survey was the early identification of the Project social values and which of those were of particular importance to the local community and landholders in the vicinity of the Project. Approximately 50% of attendees participated in the survey.

7.4 VISITORS TO THE REGION

To date, there has been no specific targeted campaign to inform visitors to the region, regardless the information currently distributed on the Project, via direct mail, community newsletters and drop in days has reached a number of visitors to the Adelaide foothills. At the drop in days hosted on 28.29 May 2017, 4% of the attendees identified as a visitor to the Region. Media coverage of the project has also raised its profile within and outside the region.

7.5 LOCAL GOVERNMENT

There are three (3) local councils, (Adelaide Hills; Alexandrina; and Mt Barker) who have an interest in the Project. Terramin has engaged with each of these Councils independently primarily on issues associated with transport. Further details are included in Table 3 - Stakeholder Engagement Summary.

Terramin engaged with the Adelaide Hills Council early in the Project, and intend on continuing a positive relationship with them. This will be crucial in ensuring a successful development application process.

7.6 REGULATORS

The South Australian Government will continue to be an important element of the Project. To date the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC), the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) and the Department for the Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) have provided feedback and approved programs for the drilling of water bores and exploration drill holes; and conduct pump testing of the installed bores. These departments will be essential in the approval process of the overall Project and Terramin welcome the input of, and feedback from, government departments.

In April 2014, Terramin introduced the project to a joint meeting hosted by DPC, which involved EPA and DENWR representatives, to broadly discuss the project in the context of resource development within the Adelaide Hills.

In August 2016 Terramin was advised of the appointment of a DPC Case Manager for the project, and began meeting regularly on matters relating to the preparation of the Mining Lease Application.

Terramin have had minimal engagement with the Federal Government thus far, however continue to comply with the relevant federal legislation, in particular the requirements under the Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 2004 (Cth) (EPBC Act).

7.7 LOCAL AGENCIES

Terramin staff have been actively engaged with a local school community and have joined in environmental projects (reported to the community in the August 2016 Newsletter), specifically the building and placement of bird nesting boxes and riparian rehabilitation within Bird In Hand property.

To date there has been no targeted or formal engagement with other statutory local agencies, however Terramin has advised local Police and the CFS each time a community meeting has been hosted in Woodside.

7.8 ELECTED MEMBERS

Terramin invites contact from Parliamentarians and has hosted a number of sites visits and forwarded copies of presentations on request, as indicated in Table 3 - Stakeholder Engagement Summary.

7.9 INTEREST GROUPS

As outlined above in section 7.3, Terramin has built and maintains a strong relationship with local interest groups particularly those interested in water and land-use. Terramin distributes the newsletters to members and welcomes invitations to speak at meetings.

Terramin has scheduled a number of focus groups in August to invite input from Interest Groups and specialists into Issues central to the project including, roads and transport; economic impact and opportunity and health and safety.

7.10 SMALL BUSINESS

Terramin have engaged with the Woodside Commerce Association, meeting twice to share information on the potential benefits of the project to Woodside and the wider community.

7.11 MEDIA

Terramin regularly releases information to the media as press releases and has engaged a media specialist to collate and record all mentions in media.

7.12 INDUSTRY: LOBBY GROUPS

In 2016-2017 Terramin has accepted five (5) invitations to speak formally at conferences and breakfast meetings to introduce the project with industry.

7.13 COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS SURVEY (CSIRO)

Early in 2016, Terramin CSIRO to conduct a community perceptions survey to elicit the local community perceptions of Terramin’s proposed underground gold project, at the Bird In Hand site.

CSIRO, Terramin and The Innovations Connections Scheme jointly funded the survey. The survey has been approved by CSIRO’s Social Science Human Research Ethics Committee (088/16).

The project has two distinct phases; Phase 1: Community workshops. Representatives of relevant community groups, near neighbours and the wider community, were invited to participate in a 2-hour workshop to explore community functioning and wellbeing, and to delve into specific issues and aspirations associated with the proposed underground gold mine development. Phase 2: Community Surveys. A representative sample of community members will be invited to: 1. Complete a 20-30 minute ‘anchor survey’ answering questions about the local community and how the positive and negative aspects of living with the proposed underground gold mine might affect the local community. 2. Complete up to five brief (5 minute) ‘pulse surveys’. This short survey will ask about similar issues to the first survey to monitor if community opinions change over time. As at March 2017, phase 1 has been completed and a report presented to Terramin. Phase 2, which forms an integral part of the engagement process and includes a series of ‘pulse‘ surveys is currently underway.

Terramin includes all presentation, newsletters and associated information bulletins onto the website immediately after the date of release.

7.15 COMMUNITY CONSULTATIVE COMMITTEES

Consultation about the Project began with the community in 2013 and has been primarily associated with; • distribution of regular newsletters • water quality monitoring activity • air quality monitoring

• compliance obligations • responding to requests to attend interest groups meetings and briefings • hosting community meetings; technical workshops and focus groups

Terramin support the role of a Community Consultative Committee as an additional forum through which the local community can stay fully informed, provide input and be involved in the Bird in Hand Gold Mining project, throughout the life of the project.

7.15.1 Woodside Community Consultative Committee (WCCC) Terramin has committed to a process, which is moving from a Terramin led engagement process to a community based approach facilitated by an independent Chair. The WCCC members will agree to appointment. The WCCC also allows for other stakeholders like government agencies to present to, and receive feedback from, a broad cross section of the community on matters of common interest

An Interim Chair (Mr Bob Goreing) of the WCCC was appointed in March 2017 by a working group from the Inverbrackie Groundwater Focus Group, Woodside Commerce Association, Adelaide Hills Council and Terramin. Terramin hosted an Information Session on the role and responsibilities of a Community Consultative Committee (22 May 2017) and actively invited members of the community to nominate to participate as a member of the committee.

As at the date of the Establishment Meeting (5 June2017) 18 nominations were received. The first Public Meeting was held 3 July 2017. The WCCC will meet at regular intervals throughout the project development, construction, operations and closure phases.

Terramin recognises the importance of stakeholder engagement to the sustainable development of its business and the role that community consultative committee can play as a vehicle for two-way communication between all stakeholders.

The WCCC Terms of Reference (ToR) has been drafted, and is being considered during the establishment of the WCCC. The draft ToR sets out the objectives, expected outcomes, operation and reporting mechanism for the committee. It is anticipated that the WCCC will; • facilitate open communication; • create a forum to raise issues - acting as a “structured” communication link between Terramin , the community and other stakeholders; • provide an opportunity to influence operations - assisting in identifying and addressing local issues and concerns relating to the Project and its neighbours; • provide an effective vehicle to communicate important information regarding Bird in Hand Gold project operations; • be aware of and support the management of the Community Issues Register (refer section 4.4.4, page 11); • identify opportunities to partner with Terramin on community projects; and • exist for the life of the project.

It is envisaged the WCCC membership will have a broad representation and include a representative of the majority stakeholder groups as shown in Table 2.

7.15.2 Strathalbyn Community Consultative Committee The Strathalbyn Community Consultative Committee (SCCC) is chaired by Mr Kevin Trimper and currently meets quarterly. The current Terms of Reference were adopted in October 2015.

Terramin introduced the Project to the committee in 2014, the project is often referenced in the meetings. In May 2017, the SCCC were invited to establish a working group/steering group to engage in the project and stay informed on the progress of the MPL.

7.16 STRONGER COMMUNITIES

Terramin has a commitment to resourcing projects, which build strong partnerships with the community in which they work. Over a five-year period in Strathalbyn, Terramin supported various initiatives with a range of community, educational, and sporting organisations including;

• Community Living and Support Services (CLASS) • Local and Regional School Visits • Strathalbyn Swimming Club • Strathalbyn Cricket Club • Strathalbyn Tennis Club • Strathalbyn Soccer Club • Strathalbyn Senior Citizen’s Club • Strathalbyn CFS • Strathalbyn Polo & Recreation Club • Silent Ripples Suicide Bereavement Support • Make A Wish Australia • Strathalbyn Band Festival • TAFE training programs including Indigenous Entry to Mining

Terramin is committed to using a community development approach. We will engage with community, and identify initiatives, which support vibrant and sustainable local communities, and collaborate to implement agreed outcomes.

8 ISSUES IDENTIFICATION

Throughout the engagement process Terramin has kept record of issues and concerns raised by the community.

All formal and informal contact with the community is recorded. This informs Terramin staff about issues and concerns the community have, which populates the Community Issues Register (see section 4.4.4, page. 11). For the purposes of this CEP, issues from the register are thematically grouped into areas of focus to enable clear and precise communication with stakeholders. Table 4 reflects the issues grouping as first devised.

Issue/Interest Description Water Issues relating to groundwater, runoff, hydrology, and water quality and impact on water licenses. Social Issues relating to social and industry change Land Access Issues related to land access, Environment Issues relating to air quality, flora, fauna, erosion, noise, vibration, uranium/radiation, waste, chemicals, light amenity and rehabilitation (during exploration; construction; rehabilitation and operations). Mine closure Issues regarding end land use and rehabilitation. Lifestyle & amenity Issues relating to land value (perceptions); visual amenity. Tourism ‘Clean – Green’ and ‘World Heritage Listing’ messages and mining interface. Perceived impact on tourism. Opportunity to integrate mine tourism. Mine Design & operation Issues regarding design (ie: conveyors vs. trucks) and operation ie: nuisance dust, blasting, vibration, noise. Communications Access to information, transparency, two-way communication and responsiveness. Transport & Logistics Issues related to road network; traffic movement; transport and road safety. Sustainability Issues relating to the project being seen as harmonious within the context of the region, and leaving a positive impact for the environment and the community. Regulations Includes issues relating to project approvals, monitoring and reporting. Infrastructure Issues relating to accommodation, water & power supply, port, fire response, ancillary mine infrastructure. Business & Employment Issues related to economic opportunities locally and across the region. (supply chain access; local procurement and employment) Health & Safety Issues within mine operation and externally, particularly air quality; contaminants, public health. Heritage Management of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous heritage including, cultural awareness, identification and management of artefacts and cultural heritage. Table 4 - Issue Categorisation (2015-2016)

The categorisation of issues has evolved during development of the project. In 2016, staff with the support of specialists prepared narratives on each of the issues. These narratives were an internal tool for staff to access, which ensured stakeholders received clear and consistent information and a single reference point. A copy of the template used for the narratives is included as an appendix 2.13, page 35.

After the community drop in days (28.29 May 2017) staff audited and reviewed the Community Engagement Register. This work evolved and informed the categorisation of issues and created the revised issues list included as Table 5.

Issue/Interest Description Water Issues relating to groundwater, runoff, hydrology, and water quality and impact on water licenses. Land Access Issues related to land access, Environment Issues relating to air quality, flora, fauna, erosion, noise, vibration, uranium/radiation, waste, chemicals, light amenity and rehabilitation (during exploration; construction; rehabilitation and operations). Mine closure Issues regarding end land use and rehabilitation. Amenity Issues relating to amenity (particularly impact of the project on the look and feel aspects of place), includes impact of noise; vibration; and visual. Regional Branding ‘Clean – Green’, ‘Food Bowl’ and ‘World Heritage Listing’ messages and mining interface. Mine Design & Operation Issues regarding design (ie: conveyors vs. trucks) and operation ie: nuisance dust, blasting, vibration, noise. Community Engagement Access to information, transparency, two-way communication and responsiveness. Roads & Traffic Issues related to road network; traffic movement; transport and road safety. Regulatory Process Issues relating to project approvals, monitoring and reporting. Economic Impact & Issues related to economic opportunities locally and across the region. Opportunity (supply chain access; local procurement and employment) Health & Safety Issues within mine operation and externally, particularly air quality; contaminants, public health. Heritage Management of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous heritage including, cultural awareness, identification and management of artefacts and cultural heritage.

Table 5 - Issue categorisation (v.2017)

This issues categorisation is reflected in all the tools and templates used by Terramin staff. Terramin have engaged key specialists and consultants, who have participated in events with the community and stakeholders. They along with the Terramin staff regularly review the content of the Bird In Hand, FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions, to ensure it addresses the concerns of the community in an easy to access format. This material is also provided to Terramin staff so that consistent and accurate information is used when engaging with the community and stakeholders.

8.1 COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT REGISTER ANALYSIS

To date, Terramin has managed and reported contact on the Community Engagement Register; no issues have been escalated to case management or reporting on the Community Issues Register. Excluding feedback from community Drop-In and Information Days, Terramin has received and responded to 463 unique enquiries*, since the project inception. (*NOTE: this excludes attendances at community meetings, drop in days or presentations)

An analysis (refer Figure 7 - Figure 9 overleaf) of these enquiries reflects;

• 60% of enquiries to Terramin were from the local community, regional and immediate landowners • 28% were from small business predominantly enquiring about future employment and procurement and supply opportunities

Economic Impact & Opportunity Community Engagement Environment Health & Safety Heritage Land Access Amenity Mine Design & Operation Roads & Trafic Regulatory Process Water Mine Closure Regional Branding Not stated

Figure 9 - Enquiry Categorisation to June 2017

Terramin staff transferred (7%) of the enquiries reported on the Community Engagement Register to the Issues Register so that the concerns and questions of the community are captured and addressed. These issues inform he content of the FAQ on the website and are the basis of the Q & A briefing of all staff before each community engagement activity (ie: Drop –In-Days; Technical Workshops or Town Hall meetings).

9 ISSUES MANAGEMENT

Issues are documented in the Community Issues Register, which is administered by staff from the Terramin Environment and Community Department. It is anticipated that the Woodside CCC will adopt a Terms of Reference, which will include a scope to input to the Community Issues Register. A summary of the Community Issues Register will be included in the published MLP and form the basis of the environmental and social impact assessment from a community’s perspective. The Community Issues Register is a live document, which allows Terramin staff and the Woodside CCC to manage their work and to maintain focus on key issues. The Community Issues Register records and prioritises issues. These issues inform the project team of matters that need to be addressed in design of the mine, site and operations. They are an intrinsic part of the risk assessment, as receptors, pathways and outcomes are identified, responded to and negotiated with those affected to achieve acceptable outcomes.

9.1.1 Performance Commitment Terramin has a commitment to the highest levels of customer service and engagement with the community and stakeholders. as detailed in Table 6.

Table 6 - Performance Commitment

Initial Contact Remediation Description (Response)

Emergency Ie: traffic accident, workplace accident, Immediately

Disruption Disruption to adjoining landholder activity Immediately (significant or minor)

Environmental Environmental incident causing contamination or hazard Immediately Hazard /Incident

Request Information Within two working days

Feedback Within two working days

For all matters contact with the caller/respondent will be made within 2 working days. This contact will acknowledge receipt of the call/enquiry and to advise the actions that will be taken to resolve the matter (if required)

All matters will be recorded on a contact form and subsequently will be entered into the community engagement register, along with a description of the proposed resolutions actions, the name of the person allocated to complete those actions and the date by which the actions are expected to have occurred.

10 COMPLAINT AND GRIEVANCE MANAGEMENT

Terramin recognises the importance of an effective mechanism for the management, and where appropriate, remedy of individual and community complaints and grievances.

Our approach is informed by internationally recognised principles such as those identified by John Ruggie (2008)10 who has reported on good practice in the resources sector in relation to complaints management. Those principles are that complaint handling should be:

• Legitimate • Accessible • Predictable • Equitable • Rights-compatible • Transparent

In addition, at an operational level, it should also be based on engagement and dialogue, be culturally appropriate, proportional and foster continuous improvement. Therefore Terramin will ensure that all complaints are handled and responded to with respect and in a timely manner.

A copy of the Grievance Policy is included on the Terramin website.(http://www.terramin.com.au/wp- content/uploads/2015/03/Grievance-Policy.pdf). Stakeholders and concerned citizens can lodge a grievance/complaint via an on-line template (form).

10.1 COMPLAINT REGISTER

The Complaints Register derives data and information for reporting from the Community Engagement Register. The complaints register documents each complaint, prioritises the complaint, sets out any resultant actions, ensures that the complaint is closed out and subsequently reported as a part of compliance reporting. The Complaints Register will; 1. Record – the complaint, noting date of contact; contact person/group; nature of complaint before forwarding to the staff from the Community and Environment Department who will; 2. Prioritise and acknowledge –the complaint will be addressed as per the Terramin performance commitment (refer 9.1.1) ensuring the relevant department supervisor is contacted. The department supervisor will decide on a course of action, in consultation with the Environment and Community Superintendent. 3. Action and close-out – once any necessary resolution actions have been undertaken, the department supervisor contacts the instigator to advise the outcome. Completion of the resolution actions and perceived satisfaction level of the instigator is entered into the community engagement database.

10 Ruggie, J.: 2008, ‘Protect, Respect, Remedy: A Frame- work for Business and Human Rights’, Human Rights Council of the United Nations, A/HRC/8/5.

4. Reporting – Terramin will report on the number of calls and the nature of the calls (categorised) through compliance reporting including; 4.1 Management weekly 4.2 Terramin board 4.3 Woodside CCC quarterly*(*anticipated schedule) 4.4 DPC (regulators) quarterly 4.5 on an annual basis, to the State Government

11 MONITORING, REPORTING AND EVALUATION

The SMP components will be submitted to the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) with the submission of the PEPR. Monitoring and evaluation of engagement activities, including those outlined in Table 3 - Stakeholder Engagement Summary is critical to understand and assess Terramin’s performance. Terramin’s performance will be evaluated annually or at the completion of a phase of work/approvals the Project (whichever is less). This evaluation will become part of the MLP, PEPR and then part of annual compliance report

12.8 PROJECT INFORMATION POSTER – DRILLING & BLASTING (MAY2017)

Drilling + Blasting No adverse impact on public amenity or third party damage from blasting

The cut and fll method involves drilling into the site rock and using controlled blasting to break the rock into a transportable size to bring it to the surface where the gold containing rock (ore) will be loaded onto trucks Blasting and taken to Strathalbyn for processing. Rock without gold will be used for backflling the mine voids. A typical development face will use 250-300kg of explosive product in 50-60 holes. Holes are fred in a sequence over 2-3 seconds to allow time for the fred rock to move out of the way of the next Drilling hole being fred. A pattern of holes 30mm-45mm in diameter are drilled using specialised drilling machines (Jumbo) to a depth of approximately 3.5m – 5.0m into the “face”.

Shotcrete Projects such as road and rail tunnels through mountains, dam walls and underground mining tunnels all need an effective and safe method for • Sealing the decline and mine voids. managing infows of ground water that occurs naturally within the rock. • Small aggregate concrete mix applied to walls to create a “shell” or cover. Rock grouting is the flling of existing cracks or voids in the rock using cement. The cement used in this process is the same general purpose, • Prevents smaller rocks from slipping out of the walls. locally sourced cement used commonly throughout the building and • Common applications include mining, civil applications (retaining walls construction industries. and road cuttings, tunnel linings etc). A similar process has been successfully used in local infrastructure • Helps seal cracks minimising ground water entering the mine. projects like the Heysen Tunnels on the South Eastern Freeway.

The Bird-In-Hand Gold Mine will be developed utilising conventional drill and blast mining methods to progress a Ground Level tunnel to the ore. Excavated rock is taken to the surface with RL 420m gold ore taken to Strathalbyn and rock without gold (mullock) is stored on the surface before being progressively returned to Crown Pillar the mine to fll the excavated voids. } • A ‘Decline’ (access pathway) is mined down to the gold Gold Ore containing orebody. Decline Ventilation Shafts Body ‘Reef’ • Levels are developed at 20m spacings. Levels • Each level consists of 5m high ‘lifts’. • Lifts are mined in a bottom up sequence for each level. Lower • Once the frst lift is mined, cemented rockfll (similar to a Decline concrete mix) is placed back into the drive, allowed to set and then the next lift is mined on top of the frst. RL 25m • Subsequent lifts can either be backflled with cemented rock Mine Structure Diagram fll or only rockfll depending on ground support required. 1 2 3 • Using cemented rockfll allows the fnal lift to be mined directly underneath.

Cut and fll method benefts • Highly selective – allows better targeting of the narrow, relatively shallow dip (~45 degrees) of the orebody. • This geometry means broken rock won’t “fow” for large 4 5 6 open voids common in other mining methods. • Better control of excess rock containing no gold that would dilute the grade (gold quality). • Smaller voids opened up reduces subsidence potential. • Smaller blasts mean less damage to surrounding rock and leads to better support. • Same process used for the development of waste rock is ~12-24 months ~5 years ~12 months used for ore – no additional specialist equipment is needed (large stoping drills or remotely operated equipment).

The Bird-in-Hand Gold Project is situated on the site of the historic Bird- in-Hand gold mine, located 2.7km from Woodside in the Adelaide Hills, 30km east of Adelaide and 40km north of Terramin’s existing Angas Zinc Mine at Strathalbyn. Economic gold deposits such as this are very rare and few regions can boast such assets. How does gold form?

Gold vein deposits such as the one found at Woodside are formed from hydrothermal fuids rising through the earth’s crust towards the earth’s surface. These hydrothermal fuids travel the path of least resistance Gold geology of the Adelaide Hills through fractures and faults in the country rock. As these fuids travel through rock, changes in temperature and pressure as well as chemical reactions resulting from contact with various minerals in the country rock can lead to the deposition of ore minerals. The Bird-In-Hand deposit was formed at moderate temperature and pressure so is known as a ‘mesothermal vein’. Mesothermal veins are known for their large size and continuation to depth, and comprise a major source of the world’s gold production. Veins are usually less than two meters wide and often occur in parallel sets. At Bird-In-Hand the veins merge and can be up to 8m wide. BIH Gold Project reef cross section Gold specks in drill core

Water Management No contamination of natural water drainage systems, streams and rivers, groundwater, land and soils occurs either on or off site resulting from mine ore, waste material or from mining activities

Ground Water The existing environment’s prime aquifer system is a Fractured Rock Aquifer, which comprises of several hydro-stratigraphic units, namely, the Tapley Hill Formation, Brighton Limestone (Marble), Tarcowie Siltstone, Cox Sandstone and the Kanmantoo Formation to the east of the catchment. • The aquifer is capable of supplying groundwater at rates of 1-40 Litres per second to several operational bores and provides water to springs in Inverbrackie Creek, with a salinity of less than 1,500 mg/L. • Salinity increases up to 4,000 mg/L to the east, in the less productive

and older Kanmantoo Formation. Typical Catchment Diagram with Fractured Rock Aquifer Terramin commissioned a groundwater study in 2013 which began with a review of all current, historical and anecdotal information relating to the regional groundwater system. This was followed by a groundwater and bore census in co-operation with 37 local landowners. Groundwater modelling shows that groundwater level impacts to private wells will be reduced by grouting ahead of development and eliminated by groundwater reinjection to offset drawdown around the mine.

Outcomes + Impacts Conceptual drawing of wells, aquifers and irrigation bores

The Bird-in-Hand Gold Project is located near the boundary of the Eastern (EMLR) and Western Mt Lofty Ranges (WMLR), where there is a natural groundwater divide between the two catchments. • In the EMLR, groundwater salinities are slightly higher (up to 2,500 mg/L) than the groundwater salinities around the Bird-in-Hand Gold Project and the Inverbrackie Creek sub-catchment (typically less than 1,500 mg/L). • Grouting the mine is expected to reduce infows by 70% to 90%. The reinjection (managed aquifer recharge) of seepage water back into the aquifers will limit drawdown to a radial distance of 600m. This will Conceptual drawing of regional groundwater divide maintain groundwater levels in private bores and keeps the groundwater divide between the Western and Eastern Mt Lofty Ranges. Capture Zone Treatment Reuse Recharge Recovery • Groundwater modelling showed that by the last year of underground mining, basefows to the Inverbrackie Creek will be maintained throughout the mine life if managed aquifer recharge (MAR) is adopted with grouting the mine to reduce infows by 70% to 90% in to the mine voids. Confning layer • Unmanaged groundwater infows have the potential to create a cone of drawdown around the mine which could remove the groundwater divide and potentially cause more saline groundwater to migrate towards the Ambient Subsurface Confned Aquifer Inverbrackie Creek sub-catchment. groundwater storage The risk of saline water migration was evaluated by solute transport Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) diagram modelling, which showed no saline groundwater intrusion when groundwater infows are managed, thereby preserving the groundwater quality of the Inverbrackie Creek Subcatchment in the Western Mount Lofty Ranges.
