Why did we buy Lawlers?
Agnew/Lawlers Gold Mine
Our Due Diligence View
● What did we see overall?
̵ Two side by side operations with different mining methods that can be streamlined into one multi-mine
operation
● Can meet GFI key metric of 15% FCF margin at a gold price of US$1,300/oz
̵ Closing down the Lawlers Processing Facility
̵ Reducing duplication
̵ Focusing on near mine potential
● Synergies
̵ Operating mine less than 5km away from the Agnew Processing Facility
̵ Operate the Agnew Processing Facility at full capacity
̵ Well established skilled workforce

Strategic Focus: Delivering Results
● Synergies realised
̵ Lawlers Processing facility placed on care and maintenance at end of October 2013
̵ Downsized the workforce and kept the highest performers
̵ Lawlers Camp placed on care and maintenance and employees now in Leinster
● Historically high grade and strong margin producer
