BIOX® EXPANSION
DESCRIPTION OF CHANGE
Additional geometallurgical work has reclassified fresh and transitional ore
from the Massawa Central Zone and Massawa North Zone as more
amenable to processing through the refractory plant adding an additional
3.8Mt at 2.02g/t gold for 248koz into the refractory ore reserves
Addition of a standalone ROM pad and crusher
Addition of a surge bin
Addition of a gravity circuit within the milling circuit
Addition of a flotation cleaner circuit
Reduced the number of BIOX® reactors from nine to seven following further
metallurgical tests which showed lower sulphur content for the Massawa
Central Zone and North Zone deposits
Addition of a separate high-density polyethylene ("HDPE") fully lined tailings
storage facility ("TSF 1B") into the initial scope which will host the
neutralised product and the BIOX® CIL tailings while the existing tailings
storage facility ("TSF 1") will host the flotation tailings
18MW expansion of the existing HFO power plant, adding three 6MW HFO
generators and two back up diesel generators, with the option to add-in
solar to the infrastructure in the future
Additional infrastructure including roads, water and administrative buildings

MINING
EXPECTED RESULT
Removes risk associated with blending transitional and fresh ore with
oxide ore into the CIL circuit.
Improves mining efficiency due to lower need for selective mining.
Improves overall recoveries and provides supplemental ore feed into the
BIOX® plant.
Reduces the risk of cross-contamination and improves blending
optionality
Improves capacity when processing softer ore and provides a
supplemental feed to cover crusher outages
Improves recoveries from the high-grade ores containing free-milling
gold
Controls the sulphur and carbonate grades in the concentrate and
manages acid consumption in the BIOX® circuit
Reduced BIOX® reactors and reduced associated blower air and cooling
requirements reduced the upfront cost of the BIOX® circuit component
Allows the clean supernatant water from TSF 1 to be recirculated into
either processing plant without treatment
De-risks power supply by increasing the capacity of the existing power
plant by 50% to ensure sufficient power supply and back-up supply to
maintain stable conditions for the BIOX® reactors
Improves access and infrastructure at the Massawa Central Zone and
Massawa North Zone pits
Allows for flexibility in defining scope, contractor selection and
procurement ensuring that the projects' team leverages off the existing
operation
