MINE DESIGN, PLANNING AND ENGINEERING, AND OPERATING APPROACH TO OPEN PIT MINING AND SURFACE MINING ASPECTS MERCC personnel have strong operational and technical background and have gained substantial experience in mines employing a multitude of mining methods, exploiting all commodities on more than one continent. As a result, MERCC’s solutions and advice are not only practical and workable, but take account of appropriate geotechnical, hydrogeological, economic and environmental con- siderations. Our services cover scoping, pre-feasibility and feasibility studies as well as economic evaluations, de- tailed mine design and layouts, production scheduling and equipment selection, operating cost esti- mates and capital expenditure estimates. MERCC employs an innovative and rigorous mine planning methodology that results in a compre- hensive technical report inclusive of the life-of-mine plan and techno-economic model for any given mineral resource. The methodology focuses on pit optimisation to determine the cut-off strategy, eco- nomic mining depth, size and scale of operation. We are dedicated to identify the best option for project development and produce client-focused solutions to technical challenges. With the growing need to bring projects into production more quickly and on budget, we can accel- erate the process for mining companies by supplying quality consultants associated with MERCC to supplement the client’s own technical resources to achieve the desired outcomes within the project timeframe. Our personnel will ensure appropriate decisions to guide project development and are committed to reviewing aspects of project advancement which can be done in parallel to minimise the risk of any rework. 4

This understanding is fundamental to select the appropriate mining method and establish a robust mine plan. The design of stoping blocks using the appropriate cut-off grades and minimum mining widths is followed by optimised production and development scheduling. All mine ! $ We recognise the constant need to match changing commodity prices and capital costs with ap- propriate responses from mining operations: reduction in operating and/or capital costs when prices fall, and increasing capacity when prices rise. We also understand the socio-economic implications of mining operations and address these in our strategic planning. We are focused on producing mine designs and schedules that make the most effective use of mine capital, in both short and longer term time frames. We can assist companies to optimise the transition from open pit to underground mining by offering a thorough analysis of the appropriate cross-over depth as well as presenting highly mechanised and often automated solutions. Whether optimising an existing operation or deciding how to extract a new deposit, MERCC can help to ensure that appropriate solutions are understood and implemented. 5
