  32. Slide 32: Near term development opportunities

    Near term development opportunities Any potential investment will be subject to market conditions and return levels Additional mining capacity will be required to offset declining grades or final product production will fall Two main areas of focus:  Upgrade WCP B • Potential for 20% additional cap

  33. Slide 33: Longer term development options

    Longer term development options Maintaining a strong balance sheet is a priority  WCP A and WCP B mine plan moved to Nataka after Namalope • WCP A moves in 2025‐26 • WCB B moves in 2021‐22  Potentially higher grade, easier and more deliverable mining opportunities  Further ore body and processing
