Perilya’s Managing Director, Paul Arndt, said that “as shown with the highly successful takeover of GlobeStar, the Company has moved from a phase of consolidation of its main operating asset at Broken Hill to an expansion phase, which includes pursuing both internal development projects and external M&A opportunities as they present themselves. These are therefore two very key strategic appointments for Perilya further enhancing the capability of our Management team in carrying out our strategic plan.” “Minzhi’s appointment gives Perilya a significant lift in its capabilities and experience with regards to the marketing of its products, which include zinc, lead and copper concentrates and silver and gold by-products.” “Minzhi has been a very influential and valuable Director for Perilya providing significant oversight, guidance and support, particularly with regards to metals marketing and hedging strategies. In 2009 Minzhi played an instrumental role in renegotiating Perilya’s off-take agreement for its Beltana zinc silicate material with its Chinese off-take partner on vastly improved terms for Perilya.” “Minzhi provides Perilya with not only great insight, experience and access into the Chinese markets, but with his contacts and experience internationally, Minzhi also provides Perilya with greater access into the global metals market.” “I have been in discussions over the last few months with Zhongjin Lingnan with regards to the possibility of Minzhi joining Perilya as an executive and I am very grateful for their support in agreeing to release Minzhi to us.” “We are also very fortunate to have Fran join our Executive team. Fran is the ideal person to replace Dr Trout to lead our Australian projects team. She brings to Perilya a wealth of knowledge and experience in the industry with degrees in Mineral Processing, Economics and Environmental Management, among others, complimenting her wide range of experience encompassing over 30 years in the mining industry.” I am very grateful that Fran has agreed to join the Perilya team broadening and further enhancing the skill set of our executive team. Her strong metallurgical background will also provide valuable support to our existing milling operations both in Australia and the Dominican Republic.” “Fran’s primary focus will initially be responsibility for the Mt Oxide extended development study project. Fran will also have responsibility for Perilya’s other development projects in Australia outside of Broken Hill, such as Perilya’s projects in the highly prospective Flinders region in South Australia, which includes North Moolooloo’s high grade zinc silicate project. The Company’s development projects in the Broken Hill region will continue to be managed by our Broken Hill Management team.” “Perilya’s capability to further grow the Company has been greatly enhanced with the addition of people of the calibre of Minzhi and Fran to the Executive team. Minzhi brings a wealth of commercial, marketing and hedging experience to the Company whilst Fran brings a wealth of metallurgy, mining, processing, health, safety and environmental experience to Perilya. I am therefore delighted that Minzhi and Fran have agreed to join the Perilya team.” For personal use only Contact: Investors: Inquiries: Analysts: Paul Arndt Paul Marinko Angelo Christou Managing Director & CEO Company Secretary Chief Financial Officer +61 8 6330 1000 +61 8 6330 1000 +61 8 6330 1000 PERILYA LIMITED PAGE 2 of 3 About Perilya Perilya Limited is an Australian base metals mining and exploration company.

  • 2018 Review of the Woomera Prohibited Area Coexistence Framework Submission from the South Australian Government September 2018
    2018 Review of the Woomera Prohibited Area Coexistence Framework Submission from the South Australian Government September 2018 Executive Summary Mining, primary industries and Defence industries are critical foundations of South Australia's economic success, fuelling the prosperity and well-being of communities across the State, particularly the development of regional centres, rural towns and rail, road and coastal infrastructure. The Woomera Prohibited Area (WPA) is significant to all these three industries, and to traditional owners who use the WPA for cultural and traditional activities. The WPA is an important region for generating economic opportunities to assist South Australian Government achieve its commitment of creating more jobs and increasing exports especially for the Far North outback region. The convergence of three major industries in the WPA provides significant opportunities for regional economic growth, employment, skills training and capacity development, and investment in regional infrastructure. The South Australian Government recognises the WPA is a significant national security asset, and the WPA Coexistence Framework, implemented in 2011, must maintain the primacy of Defence use and the protection of Australia’s national security, whilst balancing the needs of other land users. This submission supports the intent of the 2018 Review of the WPA Coexistence Framework (2018 WPA Review) to deliver a contemporary coexistence framework that recognises and manages varied land uses and interests including those of Defence, mineral exploration and mining, pastoral operations, traditional land ownership, and other national security and economic interests. The current WPA coexistence framework has operated well and is an example of a model based on multiple land use principles.

Underground Ore Reserve copper and gold metal has increased by ~13 and ~27 per cent respectively, driven by increased confidence in the Mineral Resource estimate, improved design inputs and lateral (across and along strike) mining area expansions.
