Manica
Exploration Potential
Regional Exploration Potential (within current concession)
 Only 10% of the 4,300 ha has been drilled
 Mainly pre-drilling targeting has taken place along the southern and northern
share zone between Dot’s Luck and Fair Bride and further East (14km) and
between Guy Fawkes and Boa Esperanza (10km) respectively
 In 2014 Auroch identified 36 new exploration targets through geophysical and
surface mapping
 Top Ten classified in the following three styles of mineralisation:
 Guy Fawkes (7) - includes quartz vein hosted-, quartz stock-works
hosted-, altered talc carbonate schist hosted- and deformed banded
iron formation (BIF) hosted- deposits, with or without aplite, in
proximity to major shear zones;
 Boa Esperança (2) - comprises deformed metapelites with aplite
invasion in proximity to major shear zones. The Boa Esperança style of
mineralisation is somewhat wider than the Guy Fawkes style in general;
or
 Dot’s Luck/Fair Bride (1) - includes sheared metasediments within
mafic schist in proximity to major shear zones.

Alluvial Mining

What are Alluvial deposits?


 Natural concentration of heavy minerals caused by the effect of gravity
on moving particles
 Various actions known as weathering can dislodge gold from its hard
rock containment
 Once the gold is liberated it migrates by gravity & water flow into
larger/subsidiary streams
 The net effect of this migration into streams is concentration of the
gold into valuable gold ore bodies
 Presences of gold nuggets suggest that the occurrence is close to the
primary source
 The finer the gold the further the occurrence might be from the source
 The more rounded the gold particles the stronger the suggestion that
the gold has travelled further
 Manica has a distribution of particles size with high frequency of
nuggets which is a good sign for primary hard rock exploration

extend for a further 5 years if the alluvials are not yet depleted
 Commenced 1st commercial production in October 2017

Fair Bride
Overview
Main deposit – Fair Bride
 Situated in the Odzi-Mutare-Manica Greenstone Belt of Mozambique
 1.262moz SAMREC compliant Au Resources (782koz measured and indicated)
 Well drilled - a total of 229 drill holes (31,662m) has been completed on the Fair
Bride deposit accounting for 60% of the total drilling on the Manica project. A
total of 137 holes comprise the resource

Fair Bride
Simple Project

Lower Risk – Lower Cost – Quick into production


 Elimination of underground technical mining risk and gold locked up in
the crown pillar
 Instead of 4 years open pit and 8 years underground mining;
expectation is 7 years of open pit mining with a 7.2 strip ratio milling
40ktpm
 Increases the time and opportunity to fully identify upside
 Open pit grade is expected to be 2.26g/t, recovering app 35koz per
annum at an
all-in cost of $908/oz
 Smaller tailings dam

Lower risk, higher margins whilst maintaining optionality

12
Fair Bride
Base Case

 Gold price USD 1270/oz


 480,000 of ore tonnes per annum mined
 7 years of mine life
 Average grade 2.26 g/t mined
 Stripping Ratio 7.2:1
 All up break even cost USD908/oz
 Capital USD35 million
 NPV at 8.5% discount USD53 million

Fair Bride
Insight
 The mineralised strike of the ore body is
approximately 1,040m
 Well understood mineralization and
geological model shows excellent
continuity
 Bounded by a fault in the west and low
grade mineralization in the east, open on
dip
 Mainly pre-drilling exploration has taken
place along the southern share zone
between Dot’s Luck and Fair Bride and
further East (14km of potential gold
bearing strike)
 Targeting indicates that mineralization
extends along strike to the east
