The key strategic goals for the Company are the discovery of additional Mineral Reserve sources to supplement Waroonga in the short term, and the discovery of a significant new ore complex to replace Waroonga in the medium to long term.

Reported Mineral Reserves at Agnew were reduced to 1.2 Moz from December 2011 to December 2012, mainly due to the impact of depletion at 182 koz, resulting in an overall decrease of 147 koz. Changes from December 2011 were dominated by removal of the Rajah lode and the impact of higher gold price assumptions for the December 2012 statement.

This Technical Short Form Report reflects the latest Life of Mine (LoM) plan input parameters, coupled with an updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve statement as at 31 December 2012. All Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve figures reported are managed unless otherwise stated, and Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.
