Management Comment
Mr. Mark English, Managing Director:
“The first ore was shovelled at Jeffreys Find in May 2023. In just a couple of years this
short-life mine has now generated more than $100 million in gold sales for the
Project.
“Before starting we estimated a gold price of A$2,600 an ounce. Who could have
envisaged that we would be selling gold at more than A$4,600 an ounce. By any
measure it’s a brilliant result.
“However, not all the money is in the bank yet. We are expecting millions more in
surplus cash to be received. we are expecting millions more in cash over the next
few months.

“For the 2024/25 period, Stage Two of the Project, we’ve produced more than
17,900 ounces of gold with more processing to come. Our partner BML is negotiating
a toll milling agreement for a parcel of up 60,000 tonnes, which is currently on the
ROM Pad at the mine site. When everything is completed, we will get the final
picture on just how successful the Jeffreys Find Gold Mine has been.
“Our JV agreement with BML Ventures stipulates that only after all the gold has been
sold and all costs have been paid is the final surplus cash distribution paid.
“We’ve just received a further $1.5 million as an interim payment from BML which
brings us to $8.1 million in total for Stage Two payments.
“BML has advised to expect an additional $3 million to $4 million in cash payments
once the last of the gold is sold.
“Jeffreys Find Gold Mine has been a defining experience for Auric,” said Mr English.

update to the Jeffreys Find Gold Mine (the Project), near Norseman, WA.
Through Auric’s joint venture partner BML Ventures Pty Ltd of Kalgoorlie (BML) a total
of 17,901 ounces of gold has been sold from Stage Two mining at Jeffreys Find as of
21 February 2025.
Ore was milled in multiple campaigns at The Greenfields Mill, Coolgardie
(Greenfields) and at the Three Mile Hill Plant, Coolgardie (Three Mile Hill) during 2024
and early 2025.
For Stage Two the highest gold price achieved was A$4,625 an ounce whilst the

There are approximately 60,000 tonnes of ore left on the ROM Pad at the Jeffreys
Find Gold Mine. BML are currently finalising negotiations with a toll mill in the district
for this to be processed in the coming months.
Under the terms of the joint venture agreement BML are the miners, operators and
managers of the Jeffreys Find Gold Mine. BML incurs and pays 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. Interim surplus
cash distributions are paid to Auric by BML after agreement between the partners.
On 21 February 2025 Auric received an additional $1.5 million from BML. To date we
have received $8.1 million in interim payments from BML for Stage Two with further
cash distributions to come following the final sale of gold.

of $11 million to $12 million.
