Operating Costs • Costs are estimated to an accuracy of +-30% including contingency, are unescalated, exclusive of duties and taxes, and expressed in

US dollars.

• The operating costs will be $0.63/lb during the initial three years of operations, during which the stockpiles from the Stage 1 HMS operation will be treated. Thereafter, Run-of-Mine (ROM) material will be processed at an average operating cost of $1.07/lb. The average LOM operating cost is US$0.92/lb.

• The low gangue acid consumption of the Kipoi deposits, coupled with the low cost of electricity, results in process operating costs within the lowest quartile of industry standards.
