Subject to market and operating conditions
Estimates were prepared to a Feasibility Study level with the objective of being subject to an accuracy range of ±15%. Molybdenum is not disclosed in Newcrest's Reserves & Resources
statement, and production average is indicative only and should not be construed as guidance. Additional confirmatory work is required to support molybdenum minerology understanding
and predictability of molybdenum recovery and grade.
AISC calculated assuming average molybdenum production of 4.1m lb p.a with a range of between 80-7000ppm
