Operations
Mining operations performed well for the quarter with ore production up 20% on the
previous quarter. Mined grade improved from 1.71% Cu to 1.89% Cu on higher
volumes from Avoca Tank and Budgerygar mines. Capital development also
increased significantly for the quarter.
Mining at Murrawombie underground mine continued to be prioritised ahead of the
planned mine closure prior to commencing the Murrawombie pit cutback.
Mill throughput was higher on increased mine tonnes however metallurgical
recoveries were impacted slightly by sericite-clay material in the Budgerygar ore.
For the full year, copper production at Tritton was 19.7kt, within the published
guidance range.
The Murrawombie pit cutback project has been approved by the Aeris Board. Tenders
for the open pit mining contract are currently being submitted for an expected start
date in November 2024. The pit will be mined in two phases, with 1.2Mt ore supplied
to the mill over FY25 and FY26.
Costs
All-in sustaining costs for the quarter were higher on increased production volumes
but improved on a unit cost basis. Over the full year, all operating and capital costs
were at or below the low end of guidance ranges.
Exploration
Drilling recommenced at the Constellation deposit during the quarter. By quarter
end, seven drill holes had been completed, targeting the interpreted sub-vertical
mineralised zone along the northern margin of the deposit, referred to as the “standup zone”. All seven drill holes targeted the upper portions of the stand-up zone
within and surrounding the current reported Inferred Mineral Resource (refer to
Figure 2).
Assay results have been received for three drill holes, TAKD101, TAKD102, and
TAKD104. Reportable high-grade copper intersections include:
•
TAKD101 - 25.0m @ 2.29% Cu, 0.42g/t Au, 4.61g/t Ag (from 134.0m) 1
- 6.5m @ 2.72% Cu, 1.09g/t Au, 1.03g/t Ag (from 163.0m) 1
•
TAKD102 - 2.2m @ 5.93% Cu, 1.23g/t Au, 18.33g/t Ag (from 134.3m)1
- 15.0m @ 1.24% Cu, 0.72g/t Au, 2.88g/t Ag (from 218.0m)1
The drill program will continue throughout H1 FY25.
1 Drill hole true width lengths are between 60% to 85% of reported interval lengths.

18 - 22
Operations
Ore mined for the quarter was ahead of plan, with grades up on the previous quarter.
Mill throughput was higher on increased mined tonnes and stockpile feed. Recovery
was down slightly due to the nature of the underground ore sources mined this
quarter.
6
For the full year, ore tonnages were ahead of forecast and gold production was
towards the upper end of the guidance range.
Costs
All-in sustaining costs were higher quarter-on-quarter due to increased production
rates but lower on a unit basis with more ounces produced. Over the full year, all
operating costs were at the low end of guidance ranges. Capital costs were well
contained and lower than guidance.
Exploration
Western Vein Field
Underground exploration drilling continued during the quarter, targeting the Apollo
(formerly Killarney Deeps) and Coronation West structures in the Western Vein Field.
At the Apollo structure, a further six drill holes were completed within the quarter,
targeting extensions to the high-grade mineralisation intersected from previous drilling
(KLU213 3.7m @ 11.2g/t Au and KLU279 0.8m @ 4.1g/t Au) 1.
Drilling to date has defined a high-grade gold lode characterised by varying amounts
of epithermal veining, including either breccia or quartz lode (refer to Figure 3). Drilling
elsewhere along the Apollo structure has intersected the structure however there is
an absence of veining. Further drilling is planned for the next quarter targeting
prospective areas up dip and along strike from the currently defined mineralised lode.

structure at the Western Vein Field
1 Refer to ASX Announcement “Quarterly Activities Report – March 2024” dated 30th April 2024
7
A drilling program targeting the Coronation West structure has commenced, aiming
to identify high-grade gold zones similar to the nearby Sterling deposit. Five drill holes
were completed during the quarter, testing the structure surrounding the initial drill
intercept (IMU148 1.7m @ 2.8g/t Au). Assay results are pending for all five drill holes.

Coronation West structures
8
Golden Plateau
During the quarter, exploration drilling at the Golden Plateau deposit was completed.
Six holes were completed in the current quarter, totalling fifteen drill holes for the
program; excluding four that were abandoned prior to reaching target depth.
Previous drill programs completed by Aeris to inform the maiden Mineral Resource
were focused on the Harry’s, Chaz and King north-south structures only. The current
drill program was designed to test the remaining interpreted north-south trending
structures south of the historic workings and test for strike extensions to Harry’s, Chaz
and King lodes.
The drill program successfully intersected the interpreted north-south structures,
however, they failed to host epithermal quartz veining/gold mineralisation. The
prospectivity along these structures has been downgraded. Several minor splays/flat
makes were intersected and reported gold mineralisation (refer to Appendix).
Although further drilling is required to understand the significance of these structures,
they are not expected to represent significant drill targets.
Five drill holes targeted strike extensions (up to 100m) beyond the modelled Chaz and
King lodes. Drilling intersected epithermal quartz veining however drill intercepts
returned modest Au grades (<3g/t Au – refer to Appendix). It is possible with additional
drilling higher gold grades will be intersected.
An updated Mineral Resource estimate is in progress and expected to be completed
early in Q1 FY25.

Operations
Ore mined at Mt Colin was again strong for the quarter. Over 510kt of ore was mined
for the year, significantly above plan. Mining of the cave zone was completed just
after quarter end. Ore mined in Q1 FY25 will be solely fresh material from sill pillars.
10
Processed tonnes were up on the previous quarter but still below forecast due to the
lack of available toll processing windows. Metallurgical recoveries were impacted by
the high proportion of oxidised cave material in the mill feed. Copper production was
below plan for the quarter and below guidance for the full year.
At the end of the quarter, 53kt of mined ore was stockpiled at Mt Colin with a further
stockpile of 150kt at an estimated grade of 2.2% Cu at Ernest Henry available for
processing. Ore haulage from the mine site to Ernest Henry was ahead of plan.
Costs
Operating costs for the quarter were in line with plan. Processing costs were higher
due to increased volumes crushed and hauled. For the full year, operating costs were
within or lower than guidance ranges.
Exploration
No material exploration activities were undertaken in North Queensland during the
quarter.
Barbara Project
The Feasibility Study for the Barbara underground mining project is well advanced and
is expected to be completed in Q1 FY25. Discussions continue with the Queensland
Government environmental regulators about the modification of the Barbara site
environmental authority (EA) required for the proposed underground mining project.

Exploration
During the quarter a two-hole diamond drill program was completed at the Heather
Bore gold prospect. The program, totalling 745.6m was designed to test for the
presence of primary gold mineralisation in fresh rock, below an extensive shallow
+0.5g/t gold anomaly within the weathered rock profile 1. The diamond drill holes will
also assist with understanding the structural setting and controls on mineralisation to
aid and refine future drill programs at the prospect.
The drill holes intersected similar lithological sequences, dominated by alternating
volcanic sequences (andesite flows, andesite crystal tuff, and dolerite) with minor
graphitic shale and volcaniclastic units in between.
A range of different alteration assemblages were observed throughout each hole, the
most prolific including hematite, sericite, silica and pyrite with lesser quantities of albite
and chlorite (refer to Figure 6). The alteration packages are encouraging indicating
hydrothermal fluids have passed through the rock sequences. The Company cautions
no correlation is being drawn between the observed alteration assemblages and
potential gold tenor. Samples have been submitted for assay with results expected
early in the following quarter.

Stockman Project (VIC)
Key points for quarter:
•
Metallurgical test work (proof of concept) in combination with engineering
studies were completed for the modified flotation flowsheet in combination with
a downstream Albion process treatment. The results showed a step change
improvement in metal recoveries with potential to enhance the overall
economics of the Stockman Project.
•
Detailed test work and engineering of a simplified flotation plant at the mine site
and downstream Albion processing plant is now proceeding
•
Independent technical review signed off the groundwater environmental quality
report for submission to the regulators
•
Stage 1 of the Benambra school capital improvement works are near completion
