These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or “the Company”) include forward looking statements. Often, but not always,

forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”,

“plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements

regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected

costs or production outputs

Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the

Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements.

Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic

conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including

the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks,

changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions

including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation

Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market,

regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations in the future. The

Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or

that the Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or

foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control

Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ

materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance,

achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the

Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements

in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock

exchange listing rules, in providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of

the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is

based

Operations

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/oz for gold, 91% for silver and A$3.00/lb for copper

• The calculation uses metallurgical recovery to concentrate of 89.0% for gold, 91.0% for silver and 91.0% for copper at V2 and

88.0% for silver and 92.0% for copper at A39 – based on recent plant performance

• AuEq for Silver = ((Price Ag per oz x 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

• AuEq for Copper = ((Price Cu per lb x 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

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
