Company Summary

4

Significant financial and operational leverage driven by multiple production sources in close

proximity to a strategic 1.8 Mtpa mill

Focused on the Nullagine Gold Project

o Located in the East Pilbara region of Western Australia

o One of the oldest and perhaps least explored gold fields in Australia

o Comprises thirteen open pit deposits on granted mining leases

o Commissioned new CIL processing plant at Nullagine Aug 2012

o First gold pour in September 2012

2.5 year Reserve mine life supported by a 1.2 Moz resource at 1.15 g/t

Project tenements cover a total area of 640 km2

Simple open pit mining feeding a centralised processing facility

o New processing plant significantly outperforming nameplate capacity

with additional throughput scalability for low incremental cost

Target FY15 production of 75 koz with C1 cash costs of ~A$1,075/oz and

all in sustaining cash cost of ~A$1,300/oz

Significant financial and operational flexibility

o Multiple production ore sources de-risks single mill production and

grade

Page 5: INVESTOR PRESENTATION MAY 2015 - Millennium Minerals · Milling Golden Eagle fresh rock from mid 2016 impacts cash flows Metallurgical testwork on Golden Eagle fresh material indicates

Asset Overview

Millennium has 188 koz of gold reserves and 1.2 Moz of gold resources and continues to develop

and maintain a strong pipeline of deposits at various points of the exploration/development cycle

Nullagine Mine Project Commentary

Significant Mining Camp With Industry Standard Operations

Project

Infrastructure

Construction of CIL gold processing facility completed in

September 2012 by the Company's EPCM contractor

Consists of primary jaw crusher, a SAG mill, a Knelson gravity

concentrator followed by a conventional CIL circuit with a 30

hour residence time, and AARL elution and electrowinning

Mill availability ~93% & uptime 99% with annualised throughput

rates as high as 1.75 Mtpa

Power supplied by diesel generators owned and managed by

contractor

Water provided by dewatering bores in and around the Golden

Eagle deposit and a new bore field developed to the east of the

process plant which was completed in December 2013

Nullagine has a 140 person accommodation village with [85]

staff on site at any one time on a predominantly FIFO basis

Mining

Methodology

Open pit mining conducted using dry hire mining fleet under

owner operator model

Campaign mining and primary crushing operation operate one

shift per day at 12 hours per shift

o Mining fleet includes 120 tonne and 80 tonne excavators,

777’s and 40 t Volvos across multiple pits

Industry standard grade control to reduce dilution and

maximise ore recovery

Nullagine Mine Project Commentary

7

Operational performance is now tracking in line with company guidance, but additional funds

now required for exploration drilling to extend mine life

Updated LOM

Schedule

Revised reserves based on 20%-35% reduction in

contained gold compared to resource model.

Increased mill throughput of 1.8mtpa due to effective

blending and optimisation of process circuit

Updated LOM schedule includes an ore reserve for a 2.5

year mine life based on mining and processing 4.2 Mt at

1.4 g/t Au

LOM based on achieving a mill run time of 96% based on

better SAG mill liner life

Milling Golden Eagle fresh rock from mid 2016 impacts

cash flows

Metallurgical testwork on Golden Eagle fresh material

indicates higher recoveries possible with upgrade on

existing plant. Studies put on hold until further fresh

reserves can be sourced

Production profile in 2017-19 constrained by current Ore

Reserve, however we expect this will change following in-

fill drilling and resource conversion studies

o Additional funds required for exploration drilling

Operational Improvements

Management restructure has bought significant operational improvements resulting in over

$12 M in annualised savings thus far

Savings Realised Savings (pa)

• Flights – change supplier, 43% reduction in costs $0.96M

• Mining Equipment – Reduced fixed monthly charges $1.32M

• Haulage contractor changed 30% reduction in haulage costs $2.40M

• Upgrade public road to RAV 10 further reduction in haulage costs $0.42M

• Re-negotiated insurance costs $0.30M

• Optimise leach circuit – reduced cyanide usage $0.85M

• Optimise gold room - reduce carbon strips $1.20M

• Reduce MOY personnel numbers 143 to 113 $4.20M

• Other cost reductions (freight, catering, camp motelling, corporate costs etc) $0.50M

Cost Saving being reviewed – diesel delivery, processing consumables suppliers, drill and blast

contract, reducing hire equipment onsite, continues review of all site personnel, salary review, town

property, rain water capture, blast hole stemming and many others
