COVID-19 PANDEMIC AND MANAGEMENT CONTROLS
SAFE PRODUCTION AND SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
Priority remains the health and safety of our employees, contractors and the communities in which we
operate. Our management teams have taken comprehensive measures to reinforce safe work procedures
and business continuity plans are in place with site-specific contingency considerations, should they be
needed. Mandalay will continue monitoring information from governments and health organizations.
The following protocols are in place at our operations:
• Surveyed workforce to identify at high-risk employees;
• Established clear policies for any workers displaying signs of illness. Employees or contractors cannot
come to work if displaying any symptoms;
• Intermittent on-site temperature checks;
• Where possible, employees to work from home, and flexible work arrangements are in place to reduce
contact between persons and maintain social distancing guidelines;
• Sites have reviewed hygiene and sanitization protocols and increased frequency in cleaning of common
and high-traffic zones. Additional hand washing stations installed;
• Implementing risk management processes for crew shift changes to ensure social distancing protocols
and reduction in movement of employees between crews; and
• Restricting visitors to essential visitors only.

COSTERFIELD: THE PATH FORWARDDELIVERING ON PRODUCTION UPLIFT AND A FOCUSED EXPLORATION PROGRAM
Deep Hole DrillingRamping up Youle Exploring High Potential
Targets
• Development and
production from Youle top
priority to significantly
increase processed grade
• First programmed holes
completed under Youle
vein
• Program to be continued in
2020 under Cuffley /
Augusta veins
• Drill several highly
prospective targets from
surface including:
Extension of Youle, the
Damper Gully, True Blue,
and Brown’s & Robinson’s
areas
9
THE YOULE LODE: DRIVING FUTURE SUCCESSMAJOR PRODUCTION INCREASES EXPECTED FROM YOULE RAMP UP
• Youle vein lies within the North-South
trend also containing August and Cuffley
veins
• Drilling has allowed for a high-grade
reserve to be formed around Youle which
is still open to the North and at depth
• Currently developing on multiple levels
with first stoping commenced in late June
2020
• Extensional exploration 2020 has
increased deposit to both North and South

The high-grade Youle ore body
extends to the north with
substantial grades intercepted:
• 21.7 g/t gold and 1.7%
antimony over a true width of

DEEP DRILLING AT COSTERFIELDFOSTERVILLE AND COSTERFIELD ARE FUNDAMENTALLY SIMILAR IN MINERAL SOURCE, FLUID
COMPOSITION, FLUID TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND FLUID TRAP ENVIRONMENT
Fosterville
Costerfield
30 km
Fosterville Deposits Costerfield Deposits
Could there be similar style gold mineralisation at Costerfield?
• Key similarities in the upper Costerfield system that Mandalay has mined
• A litho-geochemical (carbonaceous shales) environment exists, at depth, that is similar to the Fosterville
high-grade (Swan zone) environment
• Mandalay has intercepted mineralisation in the sub King Cobra drilling with 2 of 4 historical intercepts
returning high gold grades supporting the analogy
12
TARGETING A POTENTIALLY HIGH-GRADE ENVIRONMENTDEEP HOLE DRILLING PROGRAM TO TEST FOR HIGH-GRADE MINERALIZATION AT DEPTH
2014:
• Previously
intersected a high-
grade mineralized
vein with two deep
holes drilled under
Cuffley vein
2019:
• Began deep hole
program with first
deep hole under
Youle vein
(completed)
2020:
• Second deep hole
under
Cuffley/Augusta
vein commenced in
late March 2020
CSK007: 0.08 m @ 1,361 g/t Au and
CSK012: 0.19m @ 345 g/t Au

DEEP DRILLING AT COSTERFIELDDRILLING PROGRAM ADVANCING STRATIGRAPHY KNOWLEDGE OF THE COSTERFIELD DISTRICT
• First deep drill hole: CD001 completed
at 1,700 m
• New interpretation of the folding
suggests a likely structural setting
exists for a Costerfield size deposit
below Youle and above the fault
• Thick quartz blowout between 1,583 m
– 1,595 m:
o This wide interval of quartz
contained minor pyrite
mineralization and zones of sericite-
chlorite alteration
• Geological learnings from first hole
have been carried over to the deep hole
at Augusta / Cuffley which commenced
in late March 2020
1,545 m
1,580 m
Quartz Blow
1,595 m

COSTERFIELD REGIONAL TESTING EARLY SUCCESS OF THE BROWN’S PROSPECT DRILLING PROGRAM
Brown’s drilling program still underway:
• Two out of five holes completed (total of
623 m has been drilled of the 1,200 m
program)
• First drill hole intercepted 14.51 g/t Au,
over 1.27 m (true width) in diamond drill
hole BWN001
• BWN001 & BWN002 were drilled below
the historic Felix Brown mine
• Indications suggest that current
intercepts are high in the system

BJÖRKDAL: THE PATH FORWARDRAMPING UP UNDERGROUND PRODUCTION AND DELINEATING THE AURORA ZONE
Mining selectivityRamping up
Underground and
Stockpile Production
Exploring High Potential
Targets
• Ramp-up underground
tonnage in 2020 to 1Mtpa
• Supplement underground
material with stockpiled
low-grade ore (approx.
0.64 g/t Au) for total
processing capacity of
1.3Mtpa
• Increase Aurora’s
contribution to overall mill
feed
o Increase development
at Aurora and stoping
ramp-up over 2020
• Supplement feed with high-
grade skarn production
• Extend the mineralisation
of Aurora zone. Currently
open to extension laterally
and horizontally, with focus
on high-grade at depth
• Test extension of the Lake
Zone skarn deposit
• Extension drilling to North
of Aurora
18
AURORA ZONE STEERING UNDERGROUND RAMP UPAURORA ZONE PROVIDES THE POTENTIAL TO MINE HIGH-TONNAGE AND HIGHER-GRADES MORE
COST EFFECTIVELY
• Aurora zone significantly wider and
consistently higher-grade than current mill
feed
• Currently known mineralization over 300 m
horizontally and 300 m vertically
• Aurora zone readily accessible; five levels
currently being developed
• Large step-out drilling occurring below and
East and West of currently known
mineralization
• Preliminary processing results show no
challenges for gold recoveries
• Stoping has been initiated on first level
Aurora Zone and the
Northern target test

mineralization at depth
• Upper holes will be drilled from surface in
early 2020
