PROJECTS OVERVIEW

EDNA MAY OPERATIONS (100%)

Catalpa’s wholly-owned Edna May Gold Project is conveniently positioned just two kilometers from the infrastructure of Westonia, on the eastern edge of WA’s Wheatbelt region. The mine is half way between Perth and Kalgoorlie and ideally situated to be serviced by either of these major mining centres.

With its robust economics, geologically and metallurgically well defined ore-body, high Ore Reserve confidence and excellent recovery rate of more than 92%, Catalpa’s Edna May Gold Project offers an attractive, long-term platform to grow a mid tier gold producer.

Catalpa’s mine and processing schedule demonstrate average gold production at Edna May in excess of 100,000 ounces per annum for a life of mine of more than nine years, with the first gold poured in April 2010.

CRACOW GOLD OPERATIONS (30%)

Catalpa owns 30% of the Cracow Gold project in Queensland with a pre-emptive right over Newcrest’s 70% stake in the asset. The Cracow Gold Project is well managed and operated by Newcrest, allowing Catalpa to remain focused on the ramp up to full production of Edna May Gold project on time and within budget.

The Cracow Gold Project has a history of steady gold production of over 100,000 ounces per annum for the past four years and it is considered to have considerable exploration upside.
