Forward looking statements

• These materials prepared by Evolution Mining Limited (or 'the Company') include forward looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as 'may', 'will', 'expect', 'intend', 'plan', 'estimate', 'anticipate', 'continue', and 'guidance', or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.

• Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company's actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.

• Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management's good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company's business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the Company's business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company's control.

• Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the forward looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

  Strong financial position

• Record quarter net mine cash flow of A$105.0 million - an increase of 154% quarter on quarter

  Increasing mineral inventory

• Cowal Ore Reserve estimate increased by 40% to 2.18 million ounces gold3 and Mineral Resource estimate increased by 48% to 5.09 million ounces gold3 inclusive of Ore Reserves

  Discovery success

• Mauretania gold and copper discovery at Tennant Creek JV with Emmerson Resources (ASX:ERM): 30m grading 3.22g/t gold from 57m and 24m grading 1.07% copper from 78m in maiden drill program

• Broad, high-grade intersections returned at Cowal from resource definition drilling at Regal and Galway including: 73m (25m4) grading 4.79g/t gold from 207m (E46D3238), and 50m (17m4) grading 5.28g/t gold from 90m (1535DD24)

  Growing asset portfolio

• Unconditional takeover bid for Phoenix Gold (ASX:PXG) - Evolution currently owns and has received acceptances for 29.15%

• September quarter gold production of 17,769oz at C1 cash cost of A$1,315/oz; AISC of A$1,328/oz

• Unit costs increased due to lower production as a result of lower grade

• Operating costs increased due to classification of stripping activities as operating waste

• High plant utilisation (94.8%) resulted

  in record quarterly throughput
