About this update from Evolution Mining Limited

Evolution Mining Limited ('Evolution') (ASX: EVN) provides an update across several aspects based on operational performance to the end of May 2024 . The business update is provided ahead of a large group visit by the investment community to the Cowal and Northparkes operations on 19 - 20 June 2024 . Evolution will release its full June 2024 quarter results on 18 July 2024 . Generating cash and deleveraging Deleveraging of the balance sheet has continued with significantly higher cash flow delivering a current cash balance above $320 million . This equates to a quarter to date cash flow of over $145 million , after payment of the FY24 interim dividend ( $40 million ). Gold production impacted by weather and seismicity The June 2024 quarter was always planned to be a significant increase over the March 2024 quarter. The Cowal and Mt Rawdon operations have been impacted by continued high levels of rainfall. Restrictions to open-pit operations at Cowal and Mt Rawdon have necessitated the processing of lower grade stockpile ore at various stages during the past two months to maintain full processing feed rates. The Cowal underground operation has not been impacted by weather and has continued its planned ramp up following successful commencement of commercial production in April 2024 . Material handling systems at Red Lake have been disrupted by localised seismic events at the Balmer and Cochenour areas. Mining rates have improved materially this quarter and there is a high level of mined ore available underground but haulage rates available via alternative systems have lowered near-term capacity. Copper production remains above plan at Ernest Henry and Northparkes. The net impact on gold production quarter to date to the end of May 2024 is approximately 26,000 ounces. The commencement of Chief Operating Officer, Matt O'Neill , and Chief Technical Officer, Nancy Guay on 3 June 2024 provides a full complement of the Leadership Team.
