Costerfield Operational Improvements:Record High Rate Record Low Cost

Improved mine output/mill throughput from 170 tpd to 450 tpd (capped by grid power and site grinding capacity)

Changed mining method from cut-and-fill to blast-hole stoping with cemented rock fill (greater production, lower unit costs)

Increased sub-level spacing from 5 to 10 m

Introduced contract capital development for faster and lower cost results

Replaced mechanized mining fleet

Introduced mobile crusher to decrease particle size of mill feed (better recoveries, higher throughput)

Grew mine life from zero reserves to roughly 4 years while mining continuously for 7 years – discovered Cuffley and N-lode
