Notes relevant to the gold equivalence (AuEq) calculation for silver and copper in the Mt Carlton Reserve:
•The calculation is based on commodity prices of A$1,350/ozfor gold, 91% for silver and A$3.00/lbfor copper
•The calculation uses metallurgical recovery to concentrate of 89.0% for gold, 91.0% for silver and 91.0% for copper at V2 and88.0% for silver and 92.0% for copper at A39 –based on recent plant performance
•AuEqfor Silver = ((Price Ag per ozx Ag Recovery)/(Price Au per oz)) x Ag Grade
The information is extracted from the ASX announcement “Annual Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve Statement” created on 25 June 2014 and is available to view on www.evolutionmining.com.au. Evolution confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcement and in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed
•AuEqfor Copper = ((Price Cu per lbx 2204.623) x (Cu Recovery)) / ((Price Au per oz/ 31.1034768) x (Cu grade / 100)). Using a conversion factor of 1 Troy Ounce = 31.1034768 grams
•All the elements included in the gold equivalent calculation (ie. silver and copper) have been recovered and sold there is a reasonable potential that this will continue to be the case

11. Smarter drill & blast at Mt Rawdon
Blasting improvements show significant cost benefits
Estimated ~$5Mpa cost reductions following drill and blast optimisation project
Large diameter (203mm) blast holes, 15m benches (from 10m), plus electronic detonation (Unitronic600) has improved productivity
45% decrease in production blast holes, allowing a 33% reduction in drill fleet
25% decrease in blast related shutdowns (increased blast size and combination blasts)
10% increase in excavation rates
40% reduction in rock breaker hours
10% increase in plant throughput

12. Voluntary turnover¹ has halved since March 2013 representing a cost saving in the order of A$2Mpa
Reflects a more competitive labour force and increased focus on quality of hire
Reduction in voluntary turnover
1. Voluntary turnover (12 months rolling) –includes permanent employees who have resigned in the previous 12 months as a percentage of average permanent headcount

JV agreement with EmmersonResources over Tennant Creek gold- copper project
Historically one of Australia’s highest grade gold and copper fields with production of 5.5Moz gold and 470,000t copper
Application of new technology could uncover many more high grade deposits
Recent results from Chariot East:
2m @ 7.36 g/t gold from 130m in CHRC286
4m at 11.8g/t gold from 111m in CHRC287
7m at 3.14g/t gold from 130m in CHRC288
