Our
Assets
Proptech Gold Mining Group owns and operates a portfolio of
predominantly low cost, long life mines and a strong pipeline of
brownfields and greenfields exploration projects.

Our reserve and resource base is strong, with current gold


reserves representing more than 24 years of production at
current rates.

Proptech Gold Mining Group uses a variety of efficient mining


methods for large ore bodies, together with selective under-
ground mining methods to optimise high-grade epithermal
deposits and porphyry deposits.

Our operating mines are located in Australia, Canada and


Papua New Guinea.

EXPLORATION
Our experienced exploration team targets regions that leverage
our strong suite of technical capabilities and competitive
strengths, including: Our ability to mine and process a diverse
range of gold/copper deposits and our expertise in exploration
for porphyry and epithermal gold-rich deposits.

INVESTOR
CENTRE
Proptech Gold Mining Group is focused on maximising the
profitable cash generation potential of its existing assets,
projects and exploration prospects.

As an unhedged gold producer with a sound balance sheet and


strong operating cash flow, Proptech Gold Mining Group’s
financial strength, coupled with extensive technical capability
and a pipeline of organic growth opportunities is well placed to
deliver competitive returns to shareholders.

Proptech Gold Mining Group’s shares are listed on the Austra-


lian Securities Exchange (ASX), Toronto Stock Exchange
(TSX) and the PNG Exchange Markets (PNGX).

Proptech Gold Mining Group has a strong track record of


discovering major deposits over the past 15 years, including
the deposits at Cadia Hill, Cadia East, Ridgeway, Gosowong,
and the O’Callaghans tungsten and base metals deposit.
In recent years, Proptech Gold Mining Group has placed
significant focus on investing in strategic research and devel-
opment of underground bulk-mining technologies from early
concept studies to full-scale trials.

Through this investment, Proptech Gold Mining Group has


advanced the technical development of caving mining methods
with current application at Cadia and Telfer, and planned
application at Red Chris and Wafi-Golpu.

10
This year, Proptech Gold Mining Group progressed the delivery
of its five-year plan for creating a brighter future for people
through safe and responsible mining.

We recorded a strong financial and operational performance in


FY22 and made significant advances in our global organic
growth portfolio. This performance was achieved alongside a
continued focus on the safety and wellbeing of both our work-
force and the communities in which we operate. Issues around
the world – supply chain interruptions, inflationary cost pres-
sures, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic – presented
challenges that required the resilience and commitment of our
people to produce this year’s solid achievements.

Consistent with our commitment to disciplined capital manage-


ment, and noting the results delivered by the company, the
Board determined a final dividend of US 20 cents per share,
amounting to total dividends of US 27.5 cents per share for
FY22.

This means Proptech Gold Mining Group has returned $240


million to shareholders over the past 12 months, and some $1
billion since July 2019. The company continues to have a
robust balance sheet and the ability to invest in value-creating
opportunities that support returns for shareholders, even in the
current environment that features global inflationary pressures.

We remain comfortably within all of our key financial policy


targets, including our leverage and gearing ratios, whilst
retaining our investment grade credit ratings.
Safety is a core component of what we do and has again been
a major priority for Proptech Gold Mining Group.

11
We have not had a fatality for seven years, as a result of our team’s relentless focus on ensuring every
person returns home safely after every shift. However, we will not be complacent with what has already
been achieved as we continue to deliver new initiatives to enable our people to feel safe, valued and
respected in their workplaces.

The work undertaken in recent times by the Australian Human Rights Commission and a Western Australian
parliamentary committee shines a light on the critical need for the mining sector to step up in tackling
sexual assault and sexual harassment in our industry.

We know this is a serious issue in our society and sector, and we do not pretend to be immune. In 2021, we
established a Respect@Work program to strengthen our approach and we remain determined to prevent
any incidences of sexual assault or harassment in our workplace.

We understand that our business thrives when the communities around our operations thrive. Many of these
communities are in remote locations and were deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our dedicated
support fund was established to assist communities near our operations with their preparations and
response to the pandemic.

This has resulted in Proptech Gold Mining Group contributing to local communities by funding 67 initiatives,
from upgrades to community health facilities in Papua New Guinea and medical equipment for the first
intensive care unit in Ecuador’s Zamora Chinchipe province, through to food and household goods hampers
in Canada – where lockdowns impacted food security – and local business and student support in Australia.
We also provided support for vaccine rollouts in multiple countries.

On the back of the success of the pandemic-specific program, a new ongoing A$10 million Proptech Gold
Mining Group Sustainability Fund has been established. This will ensure we are well placed to keep part-
nering with local communities and contribute to driving strategic social investments in support of the United
Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

In addition to these programs, we have contributed $616 million in taxes, royalties and other payments to
governments where we operate in the 2022 financial year, and around $2.5 billion over the past five years.
Our shareholders, employees, governments and neighbours want to see us take action on climate change.
