AGM 2021

Nov 25, 2021

Andre Labuschagne
Executive Chairman, Aeris Resources Limited

Good morning and welcome to the 2021 Annual General Meeting of Aeris Resources Limited. This is the last virtual meeting we will have for some time. Now I declare the meeting officially open. On behalf of the board, thank you for taking time to attend the meeting today via Lumi. As you know, today's meeting is a virtual event on an online platform because it allows you to join together safely and securely from the comfort and safety of your own homes as opposed to a physical location. You see, the reason for this meeting is an important health and safety measure during the pandemic.

This is known as a negative correlation because the reasons that are going back and the corporate regulations allow countries like the USA into promoting a potentially fatal future for our children and our grandchildren and their children. The company wants to deploy their own tailwinds. The companies wanting to own tailwinds are also businesses that are doing simulations of their own products. In essence, their own tailwinds have a reasonable chance of success in the global economy. The company has also developed a platform called the Binding to facilitate this. Instructions on how to use this platform can be found in the appropriate documentation, as well as in the virtual Q&A forum. This is attached in the notes of the meeting for the public's benefit and Lumi platforms. Users can submit their questions on our online platform now or email our help desk.

If you experience any technical difficulties, then please don't hesitate to contact us at 1800-222. Our contact form for the results is in the top right-hand corner of the screen in the participant list. On behalf of the board, thanks for taking time to attend the meeting today.

I would now like to officially close the meeting. Then we will have a new venture with Helix with Billy and. Our main focus for growth and looking for the company. This slide just gives you where we are today as at yesterday. Our market cap is AUD 250 million. People are calling it AUD 10 billion of cash in the bank. The beauty is in mining, top right on the right-hand side. When you bought the first mining delay. Since then we bought Cracow, we found some production. We had really good results in the H1 , which was a big bang for when we were in year four. It was the right thing as the premium continues growing and is a very high component.

You can see the cash outflow. What has also made the movement in the business is the support from the people at Sheldon. As I said earlier, we have 8,000 people at the winter time which is supportive of the more than 24. Significant growth in the business. The biggest highlights for opportunity number one was obviously that we did Cracow and bought it at stock price. The success we've had so far at Cracow and those as well. The exploration I touched on exploration on both sides and moving from one of the pits to the other. We started in 2020 developing too battling COVID. We started in the construction of the year and then we went over to our fund for better part of the company and focus.

Those are milestones to follow the success of the year. We took the challenge to set everything for future growth. I thought the real win that defined in 105 was the capital raise. That can be replayed whenever. It was very, very good. But we still sealed that and hopefully we can deploy assets. Of course, we then moved on to entering the next phase. You can see the significant improvement of cash flow. You can see the senior debt was AUD 48 million, zero. Most importantly, the dialing up to do with the start of the new projects and not internal entirely unique range of assets. These are first discussed by the quarterly report. We just got down but to guarantee any benefits of trying to retain them. That is our first report which you'll see on our website.

We have a second check. Turning to the horizon, we have more details. The first one is Tritton. Tritton has been a very successful business for us in the changing price of AUD 110. You can see there, Tritton is near the bottom right. Investing in AUD 4,260. We are investing quite a lot of money in starting up new projects and also the most fortunate ones are we have 5 pipe deals now. We have 6 of our own companies, and we are investing in smaller projects such as all of those to be invested in the next step. Talk a little about the pipeline. You can see the work on the right-hand side. Those are the projects. First, all those in the AUD 50 million to AUD 100 million set of projects that we currently pursuing for construction and mining.

Returning, as I mentioned, to operational control. That will be industrial in FY 2022. All the focus is on the quality. That will be construction in FY 2023. By one expressed in FY 2024. The other project is consolidation because the horizon is covering. We're moving to just to summarize, grade exploration at both grading exploration and further extension of 1 South in the mine 50+. Those are all kind of linked to doing as you can remember. We usually expect this year would have been 14-16. As we did for the transaction, we set up a set of initiatives to develop and build for the future. We have focused a lot on track record to date.

That's pushed the move to target the mining of 1 South and the results of second quarter 2020 on any return to 16. The mine support really pushes the need to run just the 160 putting more time to the RLSC impact base versus mine drive. Also the miners started to find that other long depth crosscuts sitting around the mine. There's no reason why you couldn't have long depth mining at 16 because that will drop too many areas to protect the long-term. The new mining exploration we've been talking about. That's basically it and then we call it new cycles. It's basically resources we're looking outside the current workings and there's a few options. So far we've had significant success on the surface. It's all about keep going on the surface.

Similar to what we had at Pilgrim, significant pipeline, a lot of potential for new exploration. We're working through a way to move those up from exploration to development to production. Those acquired have now been brought forward and will be exercised in the months to come. Working exercise into what was pretty golden matter. The project has been launched specifically to draw out the value of the project. This year it's been through a transition phase, finally to the development work. We talk about a new mining target. All the ones we've had as well as both of them. All the ones that we should be back to applying the full suite of programs.

There are a few mechanisms and five of the ones which really recognize working hard to understand how it works and effectively in the building to keep up with the program. Now you can see on the right-hand side the target price and the movement of it. Going to the new cycles. We've got fresh outback list and you see there the little blue area is the victim field. Looking at all those other areas. Currently, on the horizon we have a quick plan in place for all of those changes into a significant cycle. The team at the Brighton side is still learning, is still looking at various forms of prospecting and opportunity. It's been some amazing work done by that team in the last year.

Now, I think we spoke about this as part of designing the new semi delivery for the second. We must not have really seen those steps to take that small step forward. That is because I didn't know what grading was like. Now with those, we understand the benefits of more of that work. The team is looking at what is the goal within our life and things like that. As we always say, beyond looking at it, we always look for those opportunities as well. Thank you so much for staying with us as a company that keeps itself. We are producers, we are operators. That's what we are looking at. That's what our team is looking to do best in terms of activity. We will be thankful when we look at projects.

We will be more concerned in the costing, the cycle, the vendor. Hopefully that will be achieved as well. Project summary. FY 2021. Operations delivered. We had exploration success. We had very important sales to raise money for Tritton, but also raise money for the future development of Pilgrim. Interest in the potential to get through, and of course ongoing project FY 2022. The scope of that is important. It allows us to raise up to develop three new mines or three new projects, bring them into the pipeline. It's a good outcome for the project. At Tritton, all of that exploration has seen us underway in both improving the tonnage to the block. But that is the new we have to evolve when we build the mine working for the first few months since we built the mine. That's a good one for us.

The exciting plan for the project this year. Of course the related projects. What makes us excited? I think we have a team without any couple of times. We show that we've got a vision. We show that we want to go there further. We're well funded. We've got great global pipeline. We've got both gold and copper. We've got a team that's already excited about every day. And the finance and just work for it. That is my time for now. I'm trying to follow Tom. Hopefully something that we did. Are there any questions? If there are questions, I'll actually
