Project Update – July activities
 Stage 1 EPEPR – drilling of water bores
     Approved 13th June, in line with most recent feedback
     No feedback on the test work component (stage 2)
     Additional discussions required with DEM/DEW on test work component (stage 2) once stage 1 results are known –
      the Project needs to understand & meet government expectations
 Land management onsite
     Installation of gully erosion mitigation continues on site – part of soil erosion management planning
     Weed spraying and baseline environmental monitoring continuing (groundwater, surface water, dust, subsidence,
      vibration and overpressure)
 New CEO and CFO
     Richard Taylor (CEO) here tonight. Simon Iacopetta is our new CFO
 Attended SA Investment in Mining and Exploration Conference – see here for Richards presentation -
  https://www.terramin.com.au/category/asx-announcements/
 Draft Miscellenous Purposes Licence application for Angas Zinc mine ML6229 provided to government
     To get feedback on if the document aligns with MD006
 Newsletter released includes update on Terramin’s gold strategy

Objectives of MAR drilling and Stage 1

 Confirm aquifer suitability for MAR and evaluate the groundwater model under mining
  conditions to demonstrate effective management of:
     Groundwater levels at existing operational wells.
     Baseflow into the Inverbrackie Creek.
     The higher salinity groundwater from the older Kanmantoo Formation to the east

 STEPS
     Drill bores (3 sites – two bores per site required) – planned start late Aug 2018
     Short term extraction pump tests* (under legal allocation) at the 3 sites to:
       – Evaluate aquifer characteristics
       – Monitor surrounding bores responses
       – Finalise the objectives of the Reinjection Trial (Stage 2)
       *Waiting on final approval of water allocation permits
     Submit the design of Reinjection Trial (Stage 2) to DEM and DEW for approval

EPEPR Stage 1 – Drilling of Water Bores

 Bore locations
     Three locations (green rings)
     Selected to best meet objectives of the
      trial – AGWT report & model
 Each site consist of:
     one reinjection bore; and
     within 20 meters, one monitoring
      piezometer
 Each site has one “spare” bore location
  identified for contingency

Noise monitoring – Query from last meeting how will
    logger be placed
 Monitoring locations are
  informed by an acoustic model.
  EPA review during ML PEPR
  phase prior to approval.
 Example at sensitive receptors:
  Measurable Criteria for ML6229
  (Angas)
     Day (7am-10pm) 57dB(A)
     Night (10pm-7am) 50dB(A)
 Proposed Measurable Criteria for
  BiH operations:
     Day (7am-10pm) 52dB(A)

Baseline Soil contamination and Land & Soil Quality

    Extensive soil sampling has been done over the Mineral Claim area and
     the district more broadly – by government and various exploration
     companies since the early 1980’s
    There is zones of naturally occurring mineralisation as well as residue
     from former land uses (1880’s mining included, as well as rubbish like
     batteries in creeklines, etc)
    Terramins strategy moving forward is not to disturb any areas with high
     analytes without a soil management plan in place. Map these locations
     and avoid disturbing where ever possible.
    Soil erosion is a issue that needs management, silty clays, clays and
     sandy clays on site; especially with bare soil areas – eg during
     earthworks
