PREAMBLE The Telfer Au (+Cu) deposit is one of Australia's premier gold-producers, currently accounting for approximately 4OO,OOOoz. per year. It's discovery in 1972 heralded the recognition of the Proterozoic Paterson Province, in wtllch it is located, as a polymetallic terrane with the potential for significant gold and base-metal mineralisation. The Paterson Province represents a small exposure ('" 36 OOOkm2) of the large NW -SE rrending Paterson Orogen, a continental-scale orogenic belt that passes across northern Western Australia and into central Australia. Rocks in the Paterson Province have recorded a protracted Proterozoic history for this orogenic belt, which includes continent-continent collision at '" 1250Ma (Watrara Orogeny) and late-Proterozoic collisional tectonism (the Paterson Orogeny) between 700 and 6OOMa. The latter generated considerable mineralisation in middle- to late-Proterozoic metasedimentary rocks of the Paterson Province. Late-Proterozoic mineralisation in the Paterson Province is well developed in the NE region where numerous syn- and post-tectonic granitoids, gabbros and dolerites intruded the metasedimentary sequence. However, mineral exploration in this region is commonly hindered by extensive Phanerozoic and Tertiary cover that precludes observation of much of the Proterozoic sequence. Additionally, the province lies within the Great Sandy Desert, and is thus covered by extensive aeolian sand deposits. The large amount of younger cover has resulted in relatively small scattered "windows" that expose the mineralised Proterozoic rock sequence. The NE region of the Paterson Province provides one of the best exposures of this sequence and hosts the Telfer deposit. Sampling of gossanous and stratabound quartz veining in the Telfer Dome (a regional antiformal fold) in 1972 by geologists from both Day Dawn Minerals and Newmont Pty Ltd identified gold enriched horizons within the pelitic sedimentary sequence (felfer Formation) exposed in the dome. Subsequent drilling of these horizons confirmed an initial resource of I Million ounces of gold and mining activity commenced in 1975. During the early 19805 mining concentrated on one particular reef that outcropped in Main Dome, a sub-dome of the Telfer Dome. This reef, the Middle Vale Reef (MVR) exhibited strong secondary enrichment of gold and has historically comprised a significant resource in the Telfer deposit (Dimo, 1990). During the middle to late 1980s a shift to high-volume low-grade mining was facilitated by the ongoing success of dump leach extraction of gold from rocks previously too low-grade to be milled. TIlls inereased throughput caused production to expand to the second sub­ dome (West Dome) as the E-Reefs were mined, and helped to make Telfer one of the top four gold producers in Australia during the late 1980s. More recently, deep diamond drilling in Main Dome (commenced in 1992) has led to the discovery of approximately ten to twelve new reefs at depth in the dome. Underground mining, which had commenced in 1990, has been extended through an exploration decline 10 the upper of these newly discovered reefs (MIO and M30). This decline is currently being extended to reach !he deepest reef, the 130, at approximately 1 100m below !he present ground surface. This should occur by the end of 1997. Another consequence of the deep drilling has been the further confirmation of an epigenetic genesis for !he Telfer deposit. and panicularly the identification of mineralisation in units other !han the Telfer Formation. Initial research on !he stratabound reefs in !he Telfer deposit suggested thai !hey had formed through syngenetic eJdJalative processes (Tyrwhitt, 1979; Turner, 1982). A variation on this, whereby the MVR was considered to have formed as an evaporite horizon !hat was subsequently replaced by quartz­ sulphide assemblages, was proposed by Royle (1985). However, the expansion of mining and deep drilling within the deposit provided increasing evidence for an epigenetic origin. This came both through structural observations and geochemicaUfluid-inclusion studies that indicated the reefs were locally discordant,

The review has taken into account updated long term metal price, foreign exchange and cost assumptions, and mining and metallurgy performance to inform cut-off grades and physical mining parameters. This has resulted in the most marginal ounces being removed from the portfolio and these are reflected in changes to Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Group Mineral Resources As at 31 December 2014, Group Mineral Resources are estimated to contain 140 million ounces of gold, 20 million tonnes of copper and 130 million ounces of silver. This represents a decrease of approximately 8 million ounces of gold (~5%), 0.4 million tonnes of copper (~2%) and 1 million ounces of silver (~1%), compared with the estimate as at 31 December 2013.
