About Evolution Mining

Evolution Mining is a leading, growth-focussed Australian gold miner. Evolution operates five wholly- owned mines - Cowal in New South Wales, Cracow, Mt Carlton and Mt Rawdon in Queensland, and Mungari in Western Australia. In addition, Evolution holds an economic interest in the Ernest Henry copper-gold mine that will deliver 100% of future gold and 30% of future copper and silver produced from an agreed life of mine area. Outside of the life of mine area Evolution will have a 49% interest in future copper, gold and silver production.

In November 2019, Evolution announced the acquisition of the Red Lake Gold Operation in Ontario Canada from Newmont. This acquisition is expected to complete around the end of March 2020.

Evolution has guided FY20 gold production, exclusive of Red Lake's contribution, of around 725,000 ounces at an All-in Sustaining Cost of A$940 - A$990 per ounce. An update to guidance will be provided post the completion of the Red Lake acquisition.
