MANAGEMENT COMMENT
Managing Director, Mark English, said: “We are in the sweetest possible place with
the mining of Jeffreys Find.
“Total production for the year has passed 7,500 ounces. Another toll milling
campaign is scheduled for the end of November. It will be a mighty run home for
Auric as the project draws to conclusion.
“Whilst the campaign processed lower tonnes than expected, the gross revenue
was higher due to the extraordinary gold price.
“The reconciled yield of 1.65 g/t was marginally below expectation but the recovery
of 93.2% was excellent.
“BML has a contract with Greenfields for 300,000 tonnes to be processed so it won’t
be long before milling starts again. We are anticipating a further 142,000 tonnes to
be processed in 2024 and early into 2025 at Greenfields.
“Jeffreys Find will produce substantial cash for Auric. It has been an outstanding
investment,” said Mr English.

Auric has been repaid the $1.0 Million working capital advance. In addition, the first
surplus cash distribution of $2.0 Million (ex GST) for the 2024 year has been paid by
BML to Auric.
Greenfields is contracted to mill 300,000 tonnes in 2024/2025 from the Jeffreys Find
Gold Mine.
A third gold milling campaign is scheduled to commence around 28 November
2024 with approximately 142,000 tonnes to be processed.
BML anticipates in excess of 100,000 tonnes will remain at Jeffreys Find following the
completion of the contract with Greenfields. Negotiations are now underway with
potential toll milling companies for the additional tonnes to be processed in 2025.
The Joint Venture is between Auric and BML. BML are the miners, operators and
managers of the Jeffreys Find Gold Mine. BML incur and pay all mining, haulage,
milling costs and related expenses. After sale of the gold, the partners subtract all
direct costs before splitting the surplus cash proceeds on a 50:50 basis. Surplus cash
distributions are paid to Auric by BML after agreement between the partners.
