Most of our members predominantly work within the mining industry of the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia, which includes employees of mining and exploration companies, environmental consultancy and service organisations and government agencies. The GEMG was formed in 1988 by a small number of individuals involved in land rehabilitation in the Eastern Goldfields region of Western Australia. The GEMG provides a source of information on environmental management practices with a focus on the mining industry; exploring issues such as community & external stakeholders, ecology (flora & vegetation, fauna, stygofauna etc.), environmental education & communication, environmental management systems, legislation, regulatory approvals & processes, materials characterisation, mine closure, rehabilitation, waste management, recycling, water management. Every two years the GEMG facilitates a conference on Environmental Management held in Kalgoorlie- Boulder, Western Australia. The first workshop was held in 1988 and is now regarded as the premier environmental event to attend. This event offers great value for money and provides an excellent networking opportunity for environmental professionals from all over Western Australia (and beyond) and is attended by approximately 300 delegates.

TW15032 - Main Report Draft.1c June 2016|iv Goldfields Waste Data and Priorities Study Goldfields Environmental Management Group Month YYYY Goldfields Waste Data and Priorities Study Goldfields Environmental Management Group ExecutiveMonth YYYY Summary At the Goldfields Environmental Management Group (GEMG) workshop in 2014, there were discussions around opportunities to improve upon existing waste management practices in the Region with many organisations, represented by GEMG members, committed to enhancing their social licence to operate. GEMG recognise the issues the Region faces and, as such, has a strong desire to assist in the advancement of Region’s waste management systems. Out of these discussions, the idea for undertaking a Waste Data and Priorities Study in the Goldfields Region was born. This Study aims to support and build upon existing work undertaken in the Region on the matter. Specifically, the Study was undertaken to collect and publish data to achieve the following key objectives: 1. Support regional policy development; 2. Assist waste services and infrastructure planning; 3. Understanding regional waste management priorities; and 4. Guide investment. In order to achieve these objectives, stakeholders across the region were invited to provide their waste data to obtain a comprehensive picture of current waste management systems and practices within the Study Area for the key waste streams. In addition to the data request, respondents were asked to provide their views on what they believe to be the key waste management priorities in the Region. Methodology In order to gather the waste data in a consistent manner from all respondents, a three level Waste Classification System (WCS) was utilised. The WCS was similar to that developed for the Pilbara and Broome Waste Data Study in 2012. The WCS aligns with the Department of Environment Regulation’s (DER) Controlled Waste Category list, which was revised in 2014. The WCS classifies waste materials according to the following three levels: Stream: the three traditional waste streams of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), Commercial and Industrial (C&I) and Construction and Demolition (C&D); Sector: the sector of the economy from which the waste was generated (e.g. domestic; mining); and Material Type: describing the composition of the waste (e.g. kerbside refuse). To guide the analysis and presentation of the data, six Sub-catchment Areas were formed reflecting the key generation, treatment locations and waste flows within the Study Area (Figure 1). The Sub- catchment Areas are: Greater Wiluna Sub-catchment Area (including Wiluna townsite); Northern Goldfields Sub-catchment Area (including Leonora

Market cap A$16.2 m Air core results confirm two gold trends under Lake Lefroy Recent site visit confirms prospectivity of other LEX targets - Gold Fields has released its first tranche of drill results from air core drilling on the LEX-JV, east of the world class St Ives gold project. - Results confirm the existence of two gold-anomalous trends beneath Lake Lefroy. - The immediate target is a 3km zone along the inferred Woolibar Fault centred on the Zanex prospect. - The Eastern Shoreline Trend has identified a +3km zone of gold anomalism. - Both trends are worthy of follow-up with RC or diamond drilling, likely to happen in 2H19 - LEX will continue to focus on Lucky Strike and other 100%-owned projects to the east of Lake Lefroy. A 2000m RC/diamond programme is currently underway. - LEX is a very inexpensive WA exploration play strongly leveraged to GFI’s aggressive exploration programme on Lake Lefroy, and to exploration within its 100%-owned tenements in the Mt Monger area. Expect plenty of exploration news over the rest of the year. Warm colours (red/purple) signify higher gold grades.
