Ora Banda Mining Approves A$465 Million Plan to Target 300000 Ounces Annual Gold Output Ora Banda Mining has approved its "DRIVE to 300" expansion plan, outlining A$465m of spending aimed at lifting annual gold production to around 300,000 ounces over three years, including a new 3.0 Mtpa processing plant at Davyhurst targeted for commissioning in Q3 FY28.
The company reported a record March quarter at the Davyhurst project, with gold production up 21% quarter on quarter to 38,766 ounces and 38,637 ounces sold, while internally funding A$63m of growth investments such as restarting open pit mining at Waihi and advancing a new plant study.
Ore reserves have more than doubled, with total mineral resources now at 3.57 million ounces after a 1.46 million ounce increase, and Waihi and Round Dam contributing maiden underground and open pit ore reserves respectively.
The combination of record quarterly output, a larger reserve base and a funded multi-year expansion plan points to a company that is scaling up its Davyhurst operation around a clearer production target and timeline.
You should watch execution risk on the A$375m to A$465m plant and expansion spend, as well as the company’s reliance on future cashflows and debt to fund that program. Price Target Changed • May 19

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Updated Estimates for Its Davyhurst Gold Project ("Dgp") Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Ora Banda Mining Limited announce updated estimates for its Davyhurst Gold Project ("DGP") Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves as at 30 June 2023. The Mineral Resource Statement for Riverina Area, British Lion, Silver Tongue, Forehand, Sand King, Missouri, Waihi, Callion and Golden Eagle is reported according to the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code) 2012 edition. DGP Mineral Resources are now 1.8M oz compared to 2.0M oz in FY23. Lady Ida Resources totalling 318 oz have been removed from the statement in anticipation of the conclusion to the sale of applicable Lady Ida Tenements. Significant additions to the DGP Mineral Resources come from Riverina Underground, reported on 16 February 2022, where ounces increased by 50% to 303,000 oz. Missouri Mineral Resources were re-estimated and depleted for mining as at 30 June 2023, resulting in a minor reduction in ounces. Sand King Open Pit Mineral Resources were re-estimated, resulting in a minor increase (6%) in ounces. The Sand King Underground Mineral Resource remains unchanged. The Waihi Mineral Resource was re-estimated resulting in a 6% increase in ounces. All Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the pit envelopes were included in the Probable Ore Reserve estimate, where the resource exceeded the economic cut-off grade, following the application of mining dilution and ore loss modifying factors. Any Inferred Mineral Resource contained within the optimised pit envelopes was treated as waste with zero grade. Existing surface stockpiles are not included in the Mineral Resources. The Ore Reserve was estimated from the relevant Mineral Resource estimates referred to in this announcement. These Mineral Resources were depleted to 30 June 2023. The Ore Reserve was generated from design studies using current costs as well as geotechnical, dilution and recovery parameters. Costs were derived from the FY24 budget estimate including contract pricing current at the date of this Ore Reserve. Unit costs for haulage, processing and site overheads were estimated based on full utilisation of process plant capacity using material above the economic cut-off grade. Fullutilisation of process capacity is reliant on realising expected conversion of further Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve or supplementing plant feed by toll treating third party sources. Mineral Resource updates and mining depletions are factored in alongside operational efficiencies to form a robust business case on which to build a strong future for Ora Banda. TheMineral Resource of 1.8Moz also provides extensive future organic growth opportunities for the Company. All economic Mineral Resource within the mining envelopes classified as Measured was classified as Proved within the Ore Reserve following the application of modifying factors. All economic Mineral Resource within the mining envelopes classified as Indicated was classified as Probable within the Ore Reserve following the application of modifying factors.

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: AU$152.5m (US$99.2m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-AU$12m free cash flow). Earnings have declined by 8.1% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (23% increase in shares outstanding).

Ora Banda Mining Limited Updates Estimate of Mineral Resources and Maiden Ore Reserve for Its Riverina Underground Ora Banda Mining Limited announced an updated estimate of Mineral Resources and a maiden Ore Reserve for its Riverina Underground. OBM's new 3-Year Strategy to pivot from open pits to explore for high-grade underground mines has paid swift dividends with the release of the updated Resource and maiden Reserve for the Riverina Underground Project, with key highlights including: Riverina Underground Mineral Resource doubles to 303,000 ounces at 4.1g/t New Resource is robust with minimum mining width of 1.6m applied Resource remains open in all directions, with Phase 2 of the exploration program to commence in March 2023. Phase 2 program is targeted to extend the mineralisation envelope further south and at depth Riverina underground maiden ore reserve of 73,000 ounces averages 4.3g/t, with more Reserve conversion only limited by drilling density. Reserves calculated using gold price of AUD 1,850/oz and using a minimum mining width of 2.2m in stoping The Reserve is primarily made up of the Main Lode mineralisation only, with the Murchison lode making up less than 3% of the Reserve due to it having an inferred classification in the resource. Conversion from resources into reserves is a key component of the in-fill grade control drilling. The Phase 1 exploration program drilled 24% more holes in the 6 months from Jul-22 to Dec-22 than the entire amount of diamond drilling at Riverina Underground from 1984 to 2021. The Company has progressed setting up for the underground mine with key works completed to date including: Riverina pit mined down a further 15m to fresh rock to expose Main Portal and Ventilation Portal accesses. The underground mining tender process is well advanced and expected to be completed in March 2023. A mining commencement notice was submitted to DMIRS on 10 February 2023, with mining able to commence 45 days after this notice, therefore Ora Banda will be able to commence mining after 27 March 2023. The investment case for the FID is expected to be presented to the Ora Banda Board in the March quarter and is proposed to include consideration of inferred material that will convert to Reserve with further drilling as well as Resource extensions The Company has potential to achieve a production profile above 100koz per annum, underpinned by Reserves, with further production and reserve growth expected from resource conversion. Key points of note for the 100kozpa target include: Primarily based on Riverina Underground Project with the higher reserve grade of 4.3g/t materially increasing production and lowering costs Initial schedules under review demonstrate >600ktpa of ore is achievable and sustainable from Riverina underground. The current underground Resource of more than 300,000oz is open in all directions and a Phase 2 drilling program will target extensions to the mineralisation envelope further south and at depth.

Ora Banda Mining Limited Provides Exploration Update Ora Banda Mining Limited provided exploration update. Highlights: Further strong results from Phase 1 drilling continue to enhance the Riverina system for underground mining potential. Latest drill results will included in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate - to be announced in February 2023. New significant intercepts include: 2.0m @ 49.8 g/t - Main Lode East; 2.0m @ 20.2 g/t - Main Lode East (including 1.5m @ 27.5g/t); 3.6m @ 10.4 g/t - Main Lode East (including 0.5m @ 74.0g/t); 1.8m @ 18.2g/t - Main Lode East; 2.5m @ 12.1g/t - Main Lode East (including 2.3m @ 13.0g/t); 4.8m @ 6.0g/t - Main Lode East (including 2.1m @ 12.6g/t); 1.4m @ 14.2g/t - Main Lode East; 3.7m @ 26.9 g/t - Main Lode West; 2.8m @ 16.8 g/t - Main Lode West (including 2.2m @ 21.0g/t); 4.1m @ 9.3g/t - Main Lode West (including 3.5m @ 10.7g/t); 6.3m @ 5.9 g/t - Main Lode West (including 3.5m @ 9.5g/t); 0.3m @ 74.0g/t - Murchison Lode; 4.0m @ 39.0 g/t - Murchison Lode (including 3.8m @ 41.3g/t); 8.8m @ 4.9 g/t - Murchison Lode (including 5.8m @ 6.8g/t); 7.5m @ 3.1g/t Murchison Lode (including 6.5m @ 3.4g/t). The Riverina mineralised system remains open at depth on multiple lodes. Phase 2 Diamond drilling scheduled to recommence in March 2023. OBM's Underground Exploration Strategy: A key pillar of OBM's 3-Year Strategy is to create value is by committing exploration expenditure targeting high-grade underground ore to enhance the potential to increase production above 100kozpa. OBM prioritised drilling of the underground extensions at Riverina in July 2022, considering: The project had an existing high-grade underground resource of 151koz at 6.6 g/t; Historical mining down to ~120 vertical metres extracted 100kt at ~12 g/t; Developing the Riverina Underground is considered a relatively quick, low capex option given the existing infrastructure in the area and the ability to develop a mine portal from the base of the current open pit; Riverina ore has been processed at the Davyhurst mill and has recoveries of ~92%. There has been limited deep drilling in the overall system which is open in all directions and was poorly tested below 250 vertical metres. The program currently underway is the first diamond drilling exploration program in more than 12 months on the tenement package. OBM is in the process of collating all exploration data and anticipates announcing a resource update in the March quarter. Main Lode: The Main Lodes are made up of two parallel structures (East and West) that are sub-vertical and ~10 to 15 metres apart. The Main Lode East is the prominent mineralised structure. The current drilling results has further proven the strike continuity of the Main Lode structure for more than. 1km and demonstrated that the system is open in all directions including high grade intercepts at depth. The success of the deepest hole drilled to date (Hole 049) greatly enhances the exploration window at depth and down plunge to the south. Deep extension diamond drilling program scheduled to commence March 2023. Murchison Lode Emerging High Grade Potential at Depth: A new, narrow vein and high-grade extension of the Murchison lode has been identified in deeper drilling that runs parallel to the existing Main Lode . The Murchison Lode is located between ~20m and ~80m east of Main Lode and is presenting as an attractive, high-grade, narrow vein underground exploration and potential mining target. This lode system was not targeted in historical drilling as previous drilling in this area was shallow and largely from the West; therefore there were no deeper intersections. The Murchison Lode has five of the top ten grades ever sampled in the Riverina system and has a proven strike of over 700m and is considered poorly tested below 200m. Deep extension diamond drilling program (March 2023) will also target the Murchison Lodes. Reggies Lode Emerging exploration window: The first hole to hit Reggies Lode at depth returned 0.7m @ 4.2 g/t & 0.5m @ 6.8 g/t greatly enhancing this untested exploration window. All previous drilling on Reggies Lode was relatively shallow targeting near surface open pit resource. Reggies at depth remains a high priority exploration target. Riverina Deposit Ideal geometry for low capital selective mining: Single decline and infrastructure can access all lodes at the same time, improving equipment efficiency and increase production rates. Grade control drilling can be done from stockpiles as the decline advances which allows for fast and accurate geological data and the ability to identify high-grade trends. Access drives off the decline can easily be optimised to ensure they are targeting the higher grade ore, such that waste development is minimised. Annuncio • Dec 07
Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Riverina Exploration Update Ora Banda Mining Limited announced results from Phase 1 drilling continue to expand and enhance the Riverina system for underground mining potential. Drilling has significantly extended Riverina's high-grade mineralisation more than 100m to the south and 100m vertically. The deposit remains open in all directions. The exciting results to date (29 holes from a 46 diamond hole program) have doubled the depth of known mineralisation from 240m to 480m. New significant intercepts include: 2.5m @ 29.0 g/t Main Lode East 2.4m @ 26.4 g/t Main Lode East; 1.2m @ 51.0 g/t Main Lode East; 3.4m @ 14.3 g/t Main Lode East; 2.8m @ 9.52 g/t Main Lode East; 1.0m 14.6 g/t Main Lode East; 2.0m @ 13.2 g/t Main Lode West (including 1.0m @ 25.1g/t); 1.4m @ 14.2g/t Main Lode West; 1.0m @ 40.3 g/t Murchison Lode; 0.9m @ 30.5 g/t Murchison Lode; 0.7m @ 26.1g/t Murchison Lode. The deepest hole drilled to date has intersected visible gold returning 1.0m @ 14.6g/t (Main Lode East) and 1.4m @ 14.2g/t (Main Lode West) at 480 vertical metres below surface. The exploration window and plunge continuity at depth remains untested by drilling. The deepest hole drilled to date on the Murchison Lode has intersected visible gold returning 0.7m @ 26.1g/t at a depth of 410 vertical metres - again further enhancing the exploration window at depth and along plunge. The program also hit a parallel structure known as Reggie's Lode at depth. The intercept returned 0.7m @ 4.2 g/t & 0.5m @ 6.8 g/t and adds to Riverina's prospectivity. 46 diamond holes for 13,046 metres have now been completed. Given the excellent results, the program was expanded to 54 holes for a total of 15,331 design metres. Results have been returned from 29 holes with a further 17 holes currently being processed. Eight diamond holes remain to be drilled. Given the outstanding drilling results returned to date, a Phase 2 drilling program is being designed to help the Company accelerate a potential mining decision. Main Lode Drilling: The Main Lodes are made up of two parallel structures (East and West) that are sub-vertical and approx. 10 metres Apart; The Main Lode East is the prominent mineralised structure; The current drilling results has further proven the strike continuity of the Main Lode structure for more than 1km and demonstrated that the system is open in all directions including high grade intercepts at depth; The success of the deepest hole drilled to date (Hole 049) greatly enhances the exploration window at depth and down plunge to the south; The high grade drilling intersection in Main Lode West (1.4m @ 14.2g/t) bodes well for further extensions at depth on this lode horizon. Murchison Lode Emerging High Grade Potential at Depth: A new, narrow vein and high-grade extension of the Murchison lode has been identified in deeper drilling that runs parallel to the existing Main Lode; The Murchison Lode is located between approx. 20m and approx. 80m east of Main Lode and is presenting as an attractive, high-grade, narrow vein underground mining target; This lode system was not targeted in historical drilling as previous drilling in this area was shallow and largely from the West; therefore there were no deeper intersections; The Murchison Lode has five of the top ten grades ever sampled in the Riverina system and has a proven strike of over 700m and is considered poorly tested below 200m.

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Riverina Exploration Update Ora Banda Mining Limited announced High-grade Main Lode mineralisation extended at depth High-grade extension of Murchison Lode discovered at Riverina Exploration. Highlights: Extensional drilling under the Riverina open pit has extended the Main Lode an additional 100 metres vertically with high grade intercepts of 1.2m @ 29.9 g/t and 2.8m @ 6.0 g/t. Intercepts have increased the depth of the known high grade mineralisation from ~250metres below surface to more than 350 metres below surface and the deposit remainsopen in all directions. 12 diamond holes from an initial 30 hole program have now been completed provingthe mineralised structure of the Main Lode extends more than 1km along strike. In addition to the Main Lode extensions, a high-grade extension of the Murchison Lode has been discovered which runs parallel to Riverina's existing Main lode. The Murchison Lode is located just 80m east of Main Lode, however this was historicallyconsidered low grade near the surface, with no specific targeting of this lode at depth. Initial intercepts from the Murchison Lode extension include: 0.3m @ 171 g/t from 325m (with abundant visible gold); 1.0m @ 30.8 g/t from 181m; 1.4m @ 17.8 g/t (including 0.5m @ 52.2 g/t) from 12m; 4.9m @ 4.4 g/t from 34m; The Murchison high-grade extension remains open at depth with the structure intercepted over a 700m strike length with the deepest hole hitting 0.3m @ 171 g/t. 18 more holes are to be completed by the end of December prior to updating the Resource inthe March quarter. Main Lode Drilling: The Main Lodes are made up of two parallel structures (East and West) that are sub-vertical and ~10 metresapart. The Main Lode East is the prominent mineralised structure. OBM has further proven the continuity of the Main Lode structure for more than 1km and demonstratedthat the system is open in all directions including high grade intercepts at depth. New intercepts include: 3.0m @ 19.1 g/t from 147m; 2.0m @ 12.1 g/t from 178m; 3.9m @ 4.5 g/t from 165m; 1.2m @ 29.3 g/t from 359m (~100m below previous extent of drilling); 2.8m @ 6.0 g/t from 357m (~100m below previous extent of drilling). This compliments the numerous high-grade intercepts previously reported in the main lodes, including: 7.0m @ 22.7 g/t from 240m; 5.7m @ 10.1 g/t from 144m; 5.0m @ 16.7 g/t from 200m; 2.8m @ 21.2 g/t from 254m; 1.3m @ 25.3 g/t from 218m. Murchison Lode Emerging High Grade Potential at Depth: A new, narrow vein & high-grade extension of the Murchison lode has been identified in deeper drilling that runs parallel to the existing Main Lode. The Murchison Lode is located ~80m east of Main Lode and is presenting as an attractive, high-grade,narrow vein underground mining target. New holes in the system include: 0.3m @ 171 g/t from 325m; 0.3m @ 171 g/t from 325m; 1.4m @ 17.8 g/t (including 0.5m @ 52.2 g/t) from 12m; 4.9m @ 4.4 g/t from 34m. This lode system was not targeted in historical drilling as previous drilling in this area was shallow and largely from the West; therefore there were no deeper intersections. Of the few historical intersections below 150m, key intercepts include: 1.0m @ 41.2 g/t from 222m; 1.0m @ 35.4 g/t from 170m; 5.0m @ 4.2 g/t from 87m; 1.3m @ 11.1 g/t from 192m. There is more than 400m between these holes which opens a large exploration window, both for infill andextensional drilling as the best hole is the deepest at ~300 metres below surface.

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Five New Targets to Be Drilled At Greater Callion Ora Banda Mining Limited announced that mapping and highly promising rock chip samples collected in the Greater Callion area has identified five new targets to be drilled in early FY23. Highlights: Fresh mapping and rock chip sampling at Greater Callion area has delivered highly encouraging results and identified five new drill targets; The Greater Callion area surrounds the high-grade Callion mine which has a gold endowment of 200,000oz at an average grade of 6.4g/t; Best rock chip samples include: Welcome Stranger - 26.9g/t & 18.6g/t; Lady Dorothy - 18.9gt; Callion North - 7.7g/t and Lady Kate - 6.7g/t & 6.3g/t; RC drill planning to test these targets in early FY23 is well underway; Regional air core drilling has commenced west of the main Callion deposit. The Greater Callion area is a region the Company has been actively exploring since 2021 with a view to finding another high-grade Callion-style deposit. Callion is located 14 kilometres south-west of 1.2Mtpa Davyhurst processing plant. The historical Callion mine has a gold endowment of approximately 200,000 ounces at an average grade of 6.4g/t which is comprised of historical gold production of 280Kt @ 10.2 g/t Au for 91,650oz11 and an upgraded Mineral Resource Estimate of 680,000 t @ 4.9 g/t Au for 107,000 oz Au (refer 29 July 2021 ASX release). The mapping and sampling program has identified five initial priority targets with work continuing to further delineate the geological and structural settings of these gold occurrences which will aid drill program design. The Company intends to test these bedrock targets when a reverse circulation (RC) drill rig arrives on site early in FY23. Meanwhile, an air core (AC) rig has commenced a first pass drilling program north-west of the main Callion deposit. Further targets in the Greater Callion area will tested along with a prospective area north of Lady Gladys, which is part of the Mulline Trend. This drilling aims to test for the near surface expression of any potential gold mineralisation in these areas. Assuming success, follow up RC drilling to test bedrock targets will follow. The Greater Callion area became the focus of renewed exploration by Ora Banda in 2021 with a large rock chip and mapping program completed in December 2021 and January 2022. Rock chip sampling focused on known old workings to help define controls on the gold mineralisation and possible multi-element signatures from the mineralisation zone. Results of this work are greatly assisting with exploration drill programs. Due to a large backlog at the laboratory the results have only recently been received. A number of very encouraging rock chip sample results were returned. These results indicate that there are several high grade, small to medium sized targets to be explored in the Callion area with many of these targets never drill tested or ineffectively tested in the past. Based on the work completed to date and historical reports the following areas are priority drill targets: Lady Kate - 6.7g/t and 6.32g/t; Callion Queen- 7.72g/t, 4.53g/t and 2.60g/t; Welcome Stranger 18.6g/t and 26.9g/t; Lady Dorothy - 18.9g/t, 5.63g/t and 4.75g/t; King Edward - 5.52g/t and 3.05g/t. A first pass Aircore drilling program has commenced over the Callion North/Callion Queen area to test for near surface high grade gold mineralisation. The prospectivity of this area is driven the large scale 50 to 250 ppb gold surface Geochem anomaly in soil, with associated target zones propagating out of the main Callion mine area which head up to the north-west and interact with a granite/greenstone contact. Preliminary logging at Callion has noted significant quartz veining and some alteration at and close to a Granodiorite/Basalt contact. This program was extended over Lady Kate with a small number of holes designed to test the potential for a high grade vein that was recently exposed by near surface prospecting. Results are pending.

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Operations Update Ora Banda Mining Limited announced that as a result of the production and cost performance issues previously disclosed, the Company is undertaking a strategic review of its Davyhurst operations. Stage 1 of the review has now been completed with the delivery of an initial 24-month plan to improve productivity, lower costs and build cash to invest back into exploration and next mine resource development. The roll out of this plan will commence immediately. Stage 2 of the review focusses on resource development and sustainable mine production beyond 24 months. Mining of the Riverina Stage 1 open pit will cease in fourth quarter/fiscal year 2022 and a smaller Sand King Stage 1 pre-strip has been deferred until November 2022 to allow a single mine operational focus on the Missouri open pit for the next six months. The current Riverina and Missouri open pit mining fleets will be rationalized to meet operational requirements at Missouri. Programmes foreshadowed during the recent capital raising are underway to support process plant production reliability and stability for operational improvements. Ore recovered from open pit mining operations at Missouri will be supplemented with ore from existing surface stockpiles to target process plant throughput at nameplate capacity of 1.2 Mtpa for the next two years. An allowance has been made for exploration and resource development drilling activities. The exploration spend will target new discoveries and follow up on significant first pass air core results including the Sky Prospect, Greater Pacific and the Sunraysia North trend. Resource development activities will focus on `next mine' targets including Riverina Underground and the Iguana Deposit. Recent Insider Transactions • Jun 18

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Assay Results for the Golden Eagle Deposit Further to Ora Banda Mining Limited's (‘Ora Banda’, ‘Company’) Operational Update of 27 May, the Company to announce the following assay results for the Golden Eagle deposit. Golden Eagle is located 3.2 km from the Davyhurst processing plant and is an integral part of the Company's Davyhurst Gold Project (‘Project’). These results follow other previously announced drilling results that included GEDD21008 - 10.5m @ 7.6 g/t Au, GEDD21009 - 6.1m @ 4.5 g/t Au & GEDD21003 - 3.4m @ 7.5 g/t Au. Golden Eagle underground diamond drilling was aimed at infilling and extending the declared mineral resource of 393kt @ 3.9g/t Au for 49,000 ounces. The drilling continues to support pre-mining expectations for the North Shoot and provides important geological information into the remodelling of the Southern Mining Area. The Golden Eagle underground diamond drilling program commenced in late February 2021 and was completed in April 2021. A total of 61 holes were drilled for 8,370 metres. Currently, assay results for 17 holes totaling 2,445 metres remains outstanding. Golden Eagle deposit is one of five priority mining targets at the Davyhurst Project and is 3.2 km from the Davyhurst processing plant. Western Mining Corporation (WMC) commenced open pit mining at Golden Eagle in 1986 and produced 864kt @2.6g/t Au for 73,000 ounces. A further 39,000 ounces were produced by Croesus Mining between November 2000 and December 2003. OBM initially updated the Golden Eagle mineral resource on 8 April 2020 following the collation of surface drilling, underground drilling that was conducted in April 2018 and updates that included all face sampling data that was collected from previous ore drive development. All technical and geological information available for the deposit was combined into an updated geologically based mineralisation model. This in turn formed the basis of the updated resource estimation. The upgraded Golden Eagle Resource is 393kt @ 3.9 g/t Au for 49,000 ounces, which includes an Indicated Resource of 247kt @ 4.1 g/t Au for 33,000 ounces. The Golden Eagle Ore Reserve was declared on the 30 June 2020 for 130kt @ 3.8 g/t Au for 16,000 ounces. OBM commenced underground mining at Golden Eagle in the March quarter 2021 with capital decline development currently below the 310 Level (approximately 150 metres below the natural surface). Ore development spans five working levels, namely the 395 Level to the 310 Level (approximately 100 vertical metres). Stoping has been completed on two levels (395 & 375 Level) and remains ongoing on two levels (355 & 335 Level). Mining completed to date on the North Shoot has met the DFS expectations. Mining in the Southern Mining Area has encountered, folded ore lodes e.g., an asymmetrical anticline with a flat west limb and a moderately dipping east limb, that require more work to better understand the controls on gold mineralisation. This is a positive result but a better understanding of gold distribution within the folded sequence is needed. Consequently, drilling, mapping and additional mine development are being undertaken to better understand gold distribution within the folded lodes. Currently, it has been traced down-plunge for more than 100 metres and it's highly likely it proves to be continuous for some distance yet. The grade potential of the folded lodes remains strong with a number of drill holes intersecting what appears to be a high-grade core area. The folded sequence presents as a relatively limited drill target due to its orientations to the principal drilling direction. As a result, it may be under-represented in the current drilling data. Additional long range drilling programs will be developed to test the greater extents and continuations of this folded sequence. Annuncio • May 27
Ora Banda Mining Limited Provides Operational Update of Davyhurst Gold Project Ora Banda Mining Limited announced that it continues to make significant progress with the ramp up of activities at its Davyhurst Gold Project in Western Australia. Open pit and underground mining productivity and production levels have and continue to be impacted by Covid 19 related travel restrictions and the associated extremely tight and highly competitive labour market in Western Australia, which has led to abnormally high workforce turnover levels. The Company is currently implementing a range of strategies to assist in this area moving forward. Processing plant throughput during April and May 2021 has also continued to be negatively impacted by low slurry densities caused by the high proportion of viscous, low density oxide material from Stage 1 of the Riverina Open Pit, important actions have been implemented to increase the availability of fresh rock to the mill which is expected to increase gold production levels to DFS levels during the September quarter. The Missouri open pit mine will provide an immediate source of higher grader, harder primary ore feed from the commencement of mining activities, expected in June 2021. Key items of the mining fleet have arrived at the Missouri open pit together with required site facility materials. In the Definitive Feasibility Study, Missouri was planned to be mined in a single stage, which incorporated a three-month pre-strip. The Company has now redesigned the Missouri Open Pit into two stages, which allows ore mining to commence after a modest amount of site preparation. The Missouri Ore Reserve grade of 2.6gpt Au (1,500kt @ 2.6g/t for 130 koz) is materially higher than the Riverina Ore Reserve grade of 1.8gpt Au and therefore mining of the Missouri open pit will increase the average gold grade processed through the Davyhurst mill from July 2021. Mining at Riverina remains slightly ahead of schedule, having to date delivered more ore tonnes at a slightly lower grade for more total ounces than estimated in the DFS. Whilst process plant throughput has been impacted by the high proportion of Riverina low density oxide feed, increasingly harder transitional and primary material is scheduled to be mined at Riverina from June 2021. After lower initial mine ore grades being delivered to the processing plant due to ore stockpiling space restrictions, the Company is now utilising high, medium and low grade stockpiles on the mine ore pad to optimise the processed ore blend. Ora Banda has been working with the underground mining contractor to improve underground production rates with May production to date from the Golden Eagle underground mine of 25,620 dry metric tonnes (dmt) exceeding the total of production of 25,235dmt during the whole of the March quarter. Following initial development activities at the Golden Eagle underground mine, new information has led to a review of the geological interpretation of the southern mining area. The southern mining area of Golden Eagle had previously been interpreted as a sub vertical shear, similar to the very consistent north zone. Development activities identified a fold nose, which has so far been followed up dip for 60m. This fold nose results in a moderately flat limb to the mineralisation which changes the orientation of the lode. The new geometry suggests an increased potential for wider, flatter dipping ore zones combined with the narrower sub vertical zones previously modelled. Whilst reinterpration of the mineralisation is underway and needs to be completed, the flat lying nature of the mineralisation has the potential to increase the ounces per vertical metre in the Golden Eagle underground mine.

Ora Banda Mining Limited Announces Further Riverina South and Riverina Underground Assay Results from the Infill Drilling Program That Recommenced in January 2021 Ora Banda Mining Limited announced further Riverina South and Riverina Underground assay results from the infill drilling program that recommenced in January 2021. These follow the recently announced drilling results that included RVRC20180 returning 3.0m @ 32.4 g/t from 34m, RVRC20193 returning 5.0m @ 10.4 g/t from 21m & RVRC20109 returning 5.0m @ 7.3 g/t from 51m. The Riverina South infill drilling will allow the "inferred" mineral resource of 650,000 tonnes @ 2.1g/t for 43,000 ounces to be upgraded to "indicated". The Riverina Underground drilling will allow the upgrading and the potential extension of the current Riverina underground mineral resource of 728,000 tonnes @ 5.9g/t for 139,000 ounces. Drilling has been ongoing since mid-January 2021 and will complete in mid-March with 1,800 metres remaining. This program is the third phase of drilling that has occurred in rapid succession on the Riverina South deposit, which also includes the historical British Lion mine. The current 10,600 metre program follows on from the Phase 1 exploration RC program (32 drill holes for 3,639 metres) completed in early 2020 to a spacing of 80m x 50m, and Phase 2 RC program (68 holes for 7,338 metres) which closed the drill hole spacing down to a 40m x 25m spacing. The Phase 2 drilling resulted in the declaration of the maiden Mineral Resource. The Riverina South mineralisation is the direct continuation of the gold mineralisation that is currently being mined within the main Riverina Deposit. Riverina Underground drilling comprises an RC and Diamond drill program targeting Main lodes which were mined from underground between the 1900's and 1930's and again in 1980's. Main lodes are two sub-parallel, sub-vertical mineralised shears with significant strike (>1,000m) and depth (>250m) extent. The drill program (14 holes for 3,270m) aims to increase resource classification and extend the resource down plunge to the south. The underground resource will be updated following receipt of all assays. Is New 90 Day High Low • Feb 17
