AISC and Cost Reduction Initiatives
All-in Sustaining Costs (1) in 1H 2021 increased to US$1,122 oz due to higher absolute mining costs
In 1H 2021, total absolute mining costs was higher due to higher stripping ratio resulting from pre-stripping of new Araren stage 5 Pit. However, mining
costs per ton was lower by 16%. We expect the stripping ratio to normalize in 2H 2021.
| Processing costs increased due to lower average gold head grade of total ore processed during the period.

Implemented Cost Reduction Programs to Further Reduce Operating Cost Profile
Upgraded mining fleets used by mining contractors
Appointed new mining contractors on better terms: through associate company PT Geopersada Mulia Abadi (PT GMA)
Increased Processing Plant capacity to 4.0 Mtpa in 2021 and 5.6 Mtpa by end 2022
Opting for cheaper power sources, secured through PLN as the main energy supplier
