Dear Tanya,

Flora and vegetation values identified within PoW 79431 In response to your request for the preliminary results of the detailed flora and vegetation assessment undertaken over the Bellevue Gold Project area, RPS Australia West Pty Ltd (RPS) herein provides a summary of the key results and outcomes of the assessment in lieu of the final report which is due in July.

Background

Bellevue Gold Ltd (Bellevue Gold) is currently undertaking an exploration drilling program within mining tenement M3625 for the Bellevue Gold Project (the Project). The Project is located in the north-eastern Goldfields; approximately 40 km north of the township of Leinster in the Shire of Leonora. The Project is situated on and surrounded by pastoral lands and is located on Yakabindie cattle station.

RPS was commissioned by Bellevue Gold to undertake a detailed flora and vegetation assessment over M3625 and part of M3624 to encompass the area where exploration drilling is currently underway and including the potential mining and associated infrastructure footprint (the proposed development area). The survey area, the proposed development area and the PoW 79431 area are shown in Figure A.

RPS understands that the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) and the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions (DBCA) have requested additional information regarding the natural values of the PoW area, where in-fill drilling is proposed, in order to adequately assess the PoW application.

Detailed flora and vegetation assessment

All the plant identifications have been completed and so we have a comprehensive flora inventory for the survey area based on collections carried out over three separate surveys (August 2018, October 2018 and March 2019). Additionally, the multivariate statistical analyses of the floristic data have also been completed and the vegetation community types defined and described for the survey area, the mapping however, has not yet been completed but is in progress.

The objectives of this detailed flora and vegetation survey were to:

1. Identify and characterise the flora and vegetation within the survey area, via provision of a comprehensive flora inventory and vegetation unit and condition mapping.

RPS Australia West Pty Ltd. Registered in Australia No. 42 107 962 872 rpsgroup.com Page 1 Our ref: EEN18041.003

2. Identify the presence and extent of conservation significant flora and ecological communities that are currently listed under the Biodiversity Conservation Act 2016 (BC Act) and the Commonwealth Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) within the survey area.

3. Describe the flora and vegetation values present or likely to be present within the survey area that may be directly or indirectly impacted by the Bellevue project, including an analysis of the significance of flora and vegetation in local, regional and state contexts.

4. Map the location and extent of conservation significant flora and vegetation within the survey area

The scopes of work undertaken for this assessment included:

1. a detailed flora and vegetation survey; and

2. targeted searches for threatened and priority flora known to occur in the vicinity at the appropriate time (the documented peak flowering time).

Survey methods The detailed flora and vegetation assessment was undertaken in accordance with Technical Guidance: Flora and Vegetation Surveys for Environmental Impact Assessment (EPA 2016) and is consistent with the regional study undertaken by Meissner and Wright (2010).

The survey was coordinated and conducted by RPS Senior Botanist Caroline Gill under Licence to Collect Flora for Scientific or Other Prescribed Purposes No. SL012440. Caroline was accompanied in the field by experienced consultant botanists Kelli McCreery and Brian Morgan, and RPS graduate botanist Julijanna Hantzis. The survey was undertaken over a total of twenty days in August 2018, October 2018 March 2019. The survey methods and sampling quadrat sizes used were based on the requirements for detailed flora and vegetation surveys in the Murchison bioregion as outlined in EPA (2016). The survey was undertaken at the ‘optimal time’ for the botanical province as determined by the EPA (2016).

The field survey aimed to sample the full range of flora and vegetation within the survey area by strategically locating the floristic sites (quadrats and relevés) to cover the full toposequence of floristic communities present; from hillcrests, ridges and hill slopes, to pediments, plains, drainage lines and the margins of the saline playa.

A total of fifty-one 20 m x 20 m permanent quadrats and eighteen relevés were established and sampled in intact mature vegetation in areas of best condition (i.e. an effort was made to avoid areas obviously disturbed by weeds, grazing or historical mining activities). Each of the quadrats were sampled twice in accordance with EPA (2016) guidance. The survey area and locations of the floristic sites (quadrats and relevés) are shown in Figure A. It should be noted that twenty-seven of the floristic sites (quadrats and relevés) are located outside the proposed development area which is shown on Figure A.

Multivariate analysis of the floristic data was carried out using the appropriate modules of the Primer statistical software package (Plymouth Marine Laboratory- Version 6) as outlined in Clarke and Gorley (2006). Data analyses included Classification and Similarity Profile Analysis (SIMPROF). The analyses aimed to:

1. Compare the floristic composition of the quadrats sampled for the survey area to identify groups of floristically similar sites and therefore define the different floristic communities present.

2. Compare the floristic composition of the quadrats sampled for the current survey to the floristic composition of communities defined by Meissner and Wright (2010) in their regional survey of the Perseverance Greenstone Belt.

Results

Flora A total of 316 vascular flora taxa were recorded for the survey area of which 306 (96.8 %) are native species and 10 (3.2 %) are naturalised alien (weed) species. The list of taxa recorded for the survey area is presented in Appendix A. The high number of species recorded for the surveys indicate a good survey effort. For context, between 2000 and 2011 Mattiske Consulting recorded a total of 192 species over a much larger area, in the vicinity of, and incorporating part of the current survey area. The current survey therefore recorded 65 % more species than were recorded for the four Mattiske surveys.

The total taxa recorded represent 48 families and 119 genera. The families represented by the greatest number of taxa are: Chenopodiaceae (61 taxa); Poaceae (38 taxa); Fabaceae (38 taxa); Malvaceae (25 taxa); Asteraceae (24 taxa); Scrophulariaceae (15 taxa); Zygophyllaceae (12 taxa); and Amaranthaceae (11 taxa). The genera represented by the greatest number of taxa are: Acacia (18 taxa); Maireana (18 taxa); Eremophila (15 taxa); Senna (14 taxa); Sclerolaena (12 taxa); Sida (11 taxa); Ptilotus (11 taxa); Eragrostis (10 taxa); and Tecticornia (10. taxa).

It should be noted that the PoW area is represented by five vegetation units for which a total of 189 taxa were recorded. The complete flora inventory (316 species) is presented as Appendix A; the 189 species that occur in the vicinity of the proposed drilling are highlighted in red.

Conservation significant flora No Threatened Flora (TF) species listed under the BC Act or the EPBC Act were recorded within the survey area.

One Priority Flora (PF) species listed by the DBCA was recorded within the survey area; Grevillea inconspicua (Priority 4). This species is known to occur on creek lines and drainage lines on rocky outcrops, hills and ridges (WAH 2019) and, within the survey area, is associated with two stony hill vegetation units: H5; and H7. Vegetation unit H7 is present across the low stony hills and plains in the northern half of the PoW area however, despite thorough searches of this vegetation within the PoW area during the surveys the species was not recorded. As is evident from the aerial imagery much of the PoW area has been severely altered by a long history of mining and will be mapped for the survey report as Degraded or Completely Degraded. The locations of G. inconspicua records within the survey area, and in relation to the PoW area are presented in Figure B.

Vegetation A total of nineteen vegetation units were described and mapped for the survey area. These units covered the full toposequence of vegetation types from hillcrests and slopes, to pediments, plains, drainage lines and salt lake margins throughout the survey area.

The vegetation units were defined from the fifty-one floristic quadrats and eighteen relevés. The vegetation community mapping was conducted using a combination of aerial photo-interpretation, contour data, on- ground confirmation, vegetation structure data, and multivariate analysis of the floristic data. The hierarchical cluster analysis of the quadrat and relevé data (using modules of PRIMER v6) determined there to be eighteen statistically significant groups of sites based on their floristics. These groups are denoted by the black lines in the dendrogram (Graph 1). Sites from one of the significant clusters were further delineated into two units based on topography and substrate, because although these sites could not be separated floristically, they occupied different positions in the landscape and differed structurally.

Vegetation condition Vegetation condition within the survey area ranged from Very Good or Excellent on some of the crests and upper slopes of the higher stony hills to Degraded to Completely Degraded throughout the stony hills and plains within the historically mined areas (including the PoW area), old Tailings Storage Facility, open pits, waste rock dumps, access roads and exploration camp. Much of the survey area has been cleared at some stage in its mining history and extant vegetation comprises a range of revegetation ages. There is not much of the survey area which has not been cleared of vegetation or modified to some degree over the past century.

A total of ten weed species were recorded for the survey area (Asphodelus fistulosus, Cenchrus ciliaris, Cenchrus setiger, Cucumis myriocarpus, Cuscuta planiflora, Eragrostis minor, Rumex vesicarius, Salvia verbenaca, Sonchus oleraceus, and Tribulus terrestris) however; seven of these were present within the PoW area (Asphodelus fistulosus, Cenchrus ciliaris, Cenchrus setiger, Cucumis myriocarpus, Eragrostis minor, Rumex vesicarius and Tribulus terrestris).

These weed species were recorded at low densities throughout most of the survey area, but buffel grass (Cenchrus ciliaris) was significantly denser along the verges adjacent to roads and tracks, particularly within the Mulga sand plain vegetation within the PoW area, and ruby dock was present in greater densities on the banks of the waste rock dumps and around the open pits.

Conservation significant vegetation Searches of the DBCA TEC/PEC database were undertaken within a 50 km radius of the survey area boundary.

Three records of one TEC (Depot springs stygofauna community) were found to occur within the search radius and a total of 10 records of eight PECs were found to occur within the search radius comprising Kaluwiri Calcrete (one record), Lake Miranda East Calcrete (three records), Lake Miranda West Calcrete (one record), Yakabindi Calcrete (one record), Yandal Calcrete (one record), Albion Downs Calcrete (one record), Barwidgee Calcrete (one record), and Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF (one record) (Table 2). None of these ecological communities are listed as protected under the EPBC Act.

The survey area intersects one record of the Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF PEC, and the 2,000 m buffer of one record of the Lake Miranda East Calcrete PEC (Figure C). The PoW area intersects the Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF PEC record and buffer but not that of the Lake Miranda East Calcrete PEC record (Table 2).

Discussion

Floristic diversity and representation The rarity of the flora was assessed via the various categories of TF (protected under the BC Act and under the EPBC Act) and PF (listed by DBCA).

No TF or putative new taxa were recorded within the survey area for the current survey.

One Priority flora species as currently listed by DBCA was recorded within the survey area – Grevillea inconspicua (P4), however, despite thorough searches this species was not recorded within the PoW area.

Vegetation conservation significance Commonwealth-listed threatened ecological communities No known records of any Commonwealth-listed TECs occur within the survey area, nor is any of the vegetation described and mapped for the survey area likely to represent a Commonwealth-listed TEC.

State-listed threatened and priority ecological communities No known records of any State-listed TECs occur within the survey area, nor is any of the vegetation described and mapped for the survey area likely to represent a State-listed TEC.

Two State-listed PECs occur within the survey area - Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF Priority 1 PEC and Lake Miranda East Calcrete Priority 1 PEC. The Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF Priority 1 PEC also occurs within the PoW area.

Impact assessment - Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF Priority 1 PEC

The Violet Range (Perseverance Greenstone) BIF Priority 1 PEC occupies a total of 19,256.21 ha across its mapped extent including its 500 m buffer. The PoW area occupies 69.35 ha (0.36 %) of the PEC’s total extent. The proposed development area occupies 359.73 ha (1.87 %) of the PEC’s total extent. The PoW area also occupies the area of the PEC arguably in the worst condition due to historical impacts caused by past mining activities at the Bellevue site. Western Botanical (2017), in their assessment of the Mount Keith Satellite project located immediately to the north of the survey area, suggested that the PEC extent and boundaries were in need of further investigation and that the landforms and geology on which the PEC occur extend both north and south of the current mapped extent for a length of approximately 82 km, and that the current mapped extent occupies only about 40 % of this range (Western Botanical 2017) suggesting that the PEC is likely to cover a much larger area than is currently acknowledged and documented.

Conclusions

In consideration of the above factors RPS concludes that PoW 79431 within M3625 represents a low risk in terms of its likelihood of impacting flora and vegetation values of conservation significance.

This letter provides a brief summary of the key results of the detailed flora and vegetation assessment undertaken by RPS on behalf of Bellevue Gold over three survey seasons. The full report for this assessment will be available in July 2019.
