Introduction

Mid-tier gold production and exploration company, Gold Road Resources Limited (Gold Road or the Company), presents its activity report for the quarter ending 31 December 2019. Gruyere is a 50:50 joint venture with Gruyere Mining Company Pty Ltd, a member of the Gold Fields Ltd group (Gold Fields), who manage the Gruyere gold mine (Gruyere).

Gruyere delivered another milestone with its first full quarter of production producing 70,023 ounces of gold (100% basis) and an All-in-Sustaining Cost (AISC) of A$1,102 per ounce attributable to Gold Road, both comfortably in line with guidance.

The excellent safety performance at Gruyere continued with a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 3.5 at 31 December 20191. Gold Road's (100% owned) exploration operations' rolling 12 month TRIFR was 16.9 for the same period2.

Production

Gruyere (50%)

Mining

Mining at Gruyere totalled 2.1 Mt of ore during the quarter at an average grade of 0.94 g/t Au for 64,432 contained ounces (100% basis). The ore grade mined year to date is lower than the life of mine average reserve grade, and slightly lower than modelled grades as mining progresses through a thin zone of leaching at the upper levels of the Resource within the regolith profile. Ore mined to date also includes additional low grade material mined outside of the Resource which has been stockpiled. The grade is increasing at depth as modelled, with mined grades lifting to an average grade of 1.21 g/t Au mined during the month of December. Mined grade is anticipated to become more consistent as the mining front moves into fresh rock from the June 2020 quarter.

At the end of the quarter, ore stockpiles totalled 3.3 Mt and included 0.5 Mt at 1.23 g/t Au Run-Of-Mine (ROM) scheduled for processing during 2020. Low grade material totalling 2.9 Mt at 0.62 g/t Au, has been stockpiled and includes additional ore tonnages identified via grade control definition adjacent to and contiguous to resource modelled ore blocks.

Processing

The process plant operated at nameplate throughput rates for significant periods during the quarter. The focus is now on improving plant availability, wear rates and maintenance. The March 2020 quarter is expected to see a number of scheduled plant shutdowns as operating improvements are made during the later stages of the six to seven month ramp-up cycle from August 2019.

Total ore processed during the quarter was 2.1 Mt at a mill head grade of 1.10 g/t, achieving a gold recovery of 93.1% for 70,023 ounces of gold produced (100% basis). Total ore processed since first gold (30 June 2019) was 3.3 Mt at a mill head grade of 1.05 g/t, achieving a gold recovery of 93.3% for 99,130 ounces of gold produced (100% basis).

Gold recovery on the oxide and transition ore processed has been better than expected during the plant commissioning and ramp-up period. Plant throughput rates have generally exceeded expectations for the earlier stages of the ramp- up.

Plant availability progressively improved during the quarter, averaging 88% availability, and remains on track to complete ramp-up to feasibility study utilisation levels and nameplate capacity in the March 2020 quarter.

  1. The Gruyere TRIFR of 3.5 is applicable for the period 1 May to 31 December 2019, since commencement of operations, and includes two recordable injuries
  2. Gold Road exploration operations' TRIFR is applicable for the period 1 January to 31 December 2019 and includes three recordable injuries

Production Guidance

As throughput rates and gold recoveries exceeded Gruyere's ramp-up expectations, the gold production of 99,130 ounces for calendar 2019 was at the upper end of guidance of 75,000 to 100,000 ounces (100% basis)3. AISC per attributable ounce of A$1,102 was within guidance of between A$1,050 and A$1,150 for the quarter. The December 2019 quarter saw a reduction in sustaining capital costs as a planned TSF lift was pushed back to the March 2020 quarter.

Guidance for the 2020 calendar year following approval of the 2020 mine plan is anticipated in the March 2020 quarter.

Final Capital Cost

The Final Capital Cost for the Gruyere construction is confirmed at A$610 million, below the Final Forecast Capital estimate of A$621 million4. Consequently, Gold Road's total share of the Final Capital Cost is confirmed at A$280.6 million, below the A$284 million budget estimate, and final Joint Venture Support costs are confirmed below budget at A$15.4 million.

Gruyere JV Exploration

An extensional 11,000 metre diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling programme (Figure 1) designed to extend the Indicated Resource below the current Ore Reserve pit design and delineate the limits of mineralisation at the southern and northern extremities of the Gruyere Deposit was completed in the December 2019 quarter at a cost of A$0.9 million (100% basis). The drill results provide confidence that the Indicated Resource will extend below the limits of the current Ore Reserve pit design, allowing for future strategic evaluation and mine optimisation. An updated Mineral Resource based on the infill and extensional drilling will be reported in in the March 2020 quarter5. This updated Mineral Resource will form the basis for an update to the Ore Reserve at a later date.

Financial and Corporate

Financial Update

As at 31 December 2019, the Company had cash of A$101.3 million and debt of A$80.4 million. In January 2020, the strong cash generation enabled the Company to make a considerable debt repayment of A$38 million against the Working Capital Facility reducing Gold Road's overall debt position to A$42.4 million. The net cash position of A$20.9 million at the end of the December 2019 quarter is better than anticipated and as a result of lower Gruyere expenditures and higher revenue.

During the quarter, Gold Road sold 37,104 ounces of gold at an average price of A$2,033 per ounce for revenue of A$75.4 million (through a combination of spot and hedged sales).

Gold Road's attributable operating cash flow from Gruyere for the quarter was A$64.3 million. Growth capital expenditure was A$9.6 million and sustaining capital expenditure was A$4.6 million. Exploration expenditure was A$6.5 million (which included A$1.4 million of staff costs) and corporate costs totalled A$2.7 million (which included AS$1.2 million of staff costs). Finance/Lease costs of A$4.3 million included cost of debt and finance lease payments.

Gold Road's Corporate All-In Cost (CAIC) after growth, corporate and exploration costs was A$1,273 per ounce. Gold Road's group free cash flow for the quarter was A$30.2 million.

Discovery

Yamarna (100%)

During the quarter, Gold Road focused the majority of its exploration efforts in the 100% owned Southern Project Area. Mineral Resource estimates totalling 3.5 million tonnes at 2.62 g/t Au for 297,600 ounces were declared at Gilmour and Renegade (historically reported as Khan North) during the quarter.

The Gilmour Maiden Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource totals 2.6 Mt at 3.09 g/t Au for 258,400 ounces, containing an open pit resource of 1.8 Mt at 2.21 g/t Au for 129,100 ounces and an underground resource of 0.8 Mt at 5.13 g/t Au for 129,300 ounces (Figure 3).6

The Renegade Inferred Mineral Resource totals 0.9 Mt at 1.3 g/t Au for 39,200 ounces. Both Mineral Resources were estimated using an A$1,850 per ounce gold price assumption.

The Gilmour resource includes 120,000 ounces at 5.2 g/t Au (46%) categorised as Indicated Resource. Initial metallurgical test-work indicates potential recoveries ranging from 89% to 99% with 28% to 82% of the gold recovered by gravity separation.

Gilmour is located approximately 55 kilometres, by road, to the south of Gruyere and Renegade located approximately 35 kilometres by road from Gruyere. These resources could be developed by Gold Road and processed at Gruyere via toll treatment provisions under the Gruyere JV agreement. The Gruyere development option provides a clear pathway to monetise gold discoveries and realise value from Gold Road's exploration programme.

Gold Road's strategic objective is to continue delivering sufficient discoveries to realise greater shareholder value by justifying standalone operations.

Resource constraining pit shell and stope outlines

An 11 hole follow-up RC and diamond drilling programme on the Warbler prospect was completed in the quarter on step out section lines between 50 and 100 metres to the north and south of the original discovery traverse7. The Warbler prospect is situated approximately 300 metres west of the Yaffler South prospect and 20 kilometres along strike on the Yamarna Shear Zone to the south of Gilmour.

Drilling confirmed continuity, geometry and widths of the mineralisation along strike and down dip at lower grade than the discovery section which was 11 metres at 5.94 g/t Au from 74 metres. Further drilling along this newly identified trend is planned for the March 2020 quarter.

Other aircore drilling programmes completed during the quarter testing several Milestone 1 and 2 (early stage) targets were at Fortuna, Morello- Rocha, Hopwood, Riviera, Hirono and Grevillea.

During the quarter, Gold Road incurred A$4 million expenditure on its 100% owned tenements at Yamarna, completing the following activities:

About Gold Road

Gold Road Resources Limited is a mid-tier Australian gold producer with Tier 1 mine and exploration projects in the underexplored and highly prospective Yamarna Greenstone Belt in Western Australia's north-eastern Goldfields.

Gold Road owns 50% of the world-class Gruyere gold mine, which was developed in Joint Venture with Gold Fields Ltd (JSE: GFI) and produced first gold in June 2019. Gruyere is forecast to produce on average 300,000 ounces (100% basis) annually for at least 12 years, making it one of Australia's largest and lowest-cost gold mining operations. Gruyere has Mineral Resources of 5.8 million ounces, including an Ore Reserve of 3.6 million ounces.

Gold Road discovered the world-class Gruyere deposit in 2013 as part of its pioneering exploration across Yamarna and entered into the Gruyere Gold Project Joint Venture with Gold Fields in 2016. The Gruyere JV includes 144 square kilometres of the Yamarna Belt.

In addition to the Gruyere JV, Gold Road controls 100% of tenements covering >5,000 square kilometres across Yamarna with a Mineral Resource of 0.3 million ounces. Gold Road is executing an industry leading exploration strategy to discover the next multi-million-ounce gold deposits at Yamarna.

Gold Road also continues to assess and pursue other shareholder wealth- creating opportunities, such as its exploration farm-in Joint Venture with Cygnus Gold Limited (ASX: CY5) in Western Australia's South West, and Project Generation more widely.

Gold Road uses a staged Project Pipeline approach to manage, prioritise and measure success of the exploration portfolio. Each target is classified by a Milestone and ranked using geological and economic criteria. Regular peer review, prioritisation and strategy ensure that the highest quality projects are progressed across all stages of exploration.
