Background Detailed Flora and Vegetation Assessment
Our ref: EEN18041.003 Level 2, 27-31 Troode Street West Perth WA 6005 T +61 8 9211 1111 Date: 04 June 2019 Tanya McColgan Bellevue Gold Limited Suite 3, Level 3, 24 Outram Street WEST PERTH WA 6008 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. -

Pityrodia Axillaris)
INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN NO. 284 WOOLLY FOXGLOVE (Pityrodia axillaris) INTERIM RECOVERY PLAN 2008-2013 June 2008 Department of Environment and Conservation Kensington Interim Recovery Plan for Pityrodia axillaris FOREWORD Interim Recovery Plans (IRPs) are developed within the framework laid down in Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) Policy Statements Nos. 44 and 50. Note: CALM formally became the Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) in July 2006. DEC will continue to adhere to these Policy Statements until they are revised and reissued. IRPs outline the recovery actions that are required to urgently address those threatening processes most affecting the ongoing survival of threatened taxa or threatened ecological communities, and begin the recovery process. DEC is committed to ensuring that threatened taxa are conserved through the preparation and implementation of Recovery Plans (RPs) or IRPs, and by ensuring that conservation action commences as soon as possible and, in the case of Critically Endangered (CR) taxa, always within one year of endorsement of that rank by the Minister. This IRP will operate from June 2008 to May 2013 but will remain in force until withdrawn or replaced. It is intended that, if the species is still ranked CR at the end of the five-year term, this IRP will be reviewed and the need for further recovery actions assessed. This IRP was given regional approval on 11 August 2008 and approved by the Director of Nature Conservation on 5 September 2008. The allocation of staff time and provision of funds identified in this IRP is dependent on budgetary and other constraints affecting DEC, as well as the need to address other priorities. -

Members L-Z please bring a dessert/sweet plate. There will also be a raffle, with a choice of 6 prizes. Santa will draw the tickets so bring lots of loose change - tickets will be 50c each. A Native Christmas Tree Adenanthos sericeus (right) does a great impression of the traditional Christmas tree and we will also have one as a raffle prize at the meeting. Standing out for its silvery foliage with a soft, velvet -like texture it is native to the south coast of Western Australia. It grows into a 1-5m tall shrub, ideal for growing in a pot and using as an indoor feature plant, even after the Christmas period has been and gone. Or plant it outside, where it’s red-orange flowers will attract native birds to your backyard.

Rangelands, Western Australia
Biodiversity Summary for NRM Regions Species List What is the summary for and where does it come from? This list has been produced by the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (SEWPC) for the Natural Resource Management Spatial Information System. The list was produced using the AustralianAustralian Natural Natural Heritage Heritage Assessment Assessment Tool Tool (ANHAT), which analyses data from a range of plant and animal surveys and collections from across Australia to automatically generate a report for each NRM region. Data sources (Appendix 2) include national and state herbaria, museums, state governments, CSIRO, Birds Australia and a range of surveys conducted by or for DEWHA. For each family of plant and animal covered by ANHAT (Appendix 1), this document gives the number of species in the country and how many of them are found in the region. It also identifies species listed as Vulnerable, Critically Endangered, Endangered or Conservation Dependent under the EPBC Act. A biodiversity summary for this region is also available. For more information please see: www.environment.gov.au/heritage/anhat/index.html Limitations • ANHAT currently contains information on the distribution of over 30,000 Australian taxa. This includes all mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs and fish, 137 families of vascular plants (over 15,000 species) and a range of invertebrate groups. Groups notnot yet yet covered covered in inANHAT ANHAT are notnot included included in in the the list. list. • The data used come from authoritative sources, but they are not perfect. All species names have been confirmed as valid species names, but it is not possible to confirm all species locations.
