What the industry is saying…
There is an absolute appetite to improve the portfolio mix… and Australia and North America are very much focus areas AngloGold Ashanti We're open for business in the exploration space, we're actively looking for new partners…. if you have got a project, come and talk to us Newcrest The most exciting part about Fosterville is the host of other targets that are there and the opportunities – maybe we still haven't found the real gold deposit yet… We believe there's more to come Kirkland Lake Gold

Geophysics – Aeromagnetics
Two heli-mag aeromagnetic surveys (50m and 70m line spacing) completed during summer 2017 and January 2018
Various magnetic images (TMI, RTP, 1VD, TDR) have been utilised to compile a litho-structural interpretation of the project area
Aeromagnetics provided the basis of litho-structural interpretation which shows the greenstone belt succession comprises a polyphase deformed sequence of strongly magnetic BIF, dolerite and ultramafic, moderately magnetic mafic volcanics and weakly magnetic siliciclastic sediments
Follow up for this year includes coverage over the claims acquired since the previous survey - the Forsan Option and the 100% Chalice owned claims to the north and west

Geochemistry – MMI soil sampling coverage 2017
Three soil sampling programs have been completed on the ECG property. The first soil program was completed during fall 2016 on the Globex Option. The following summer field crews returned in June to cover the Richmont Option and the 100% Chalice claims to the south. Later that year the Khalkos Option and the 100% Chalice claims to the north were acquired and sampling was completed in the fall of 2017
To date 1863 MMI soil samples have been collected. Samples were assayed for up to 53 elements to allow for advanced geochemical interpretation
Follow up includes new 200 x 200 m and 400 x 400 m grids on the Renforth Option, as well as 200 x 200 m infill at Sausage Lake, Forsan, and the northern claims

Geochemistry – MMI soil sampling results to date
MMI samples collected by hand-auger with the preference to collect an inorganic (B Zone) sample below surface organic soils (not possible in wetland areas)
• Soils initially collected on a 400m x 400m reconnaissance grid (regional sampling) or a 200m x 200m grid (LLCF corridor)
• Infill sampling (200m x 200m) completed as a follow-up to any significant 400m x 400m anomalies
Soil results shown as gold response ratio (dividing gold value by the average of the lowest quartile of all the gold values, and rounding to the nearest integer). The response ratio is used because it gives a better indication of the anomalous values

The information in this presentation remains subject to change without notice. Compliance Statement (JORC 2012 and NI 43-101) The technical information in this release relating to the exploration results and forward program at the Woodlawn Project is based on information compiled by Mr David von Perger, who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (Chartered Professional – Geology). Mr von Perger is a full time employee of Heron Resources Limited and has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralization and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code (2012 edition) and “qualified person” as this term is defined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). Mr von Perger has reviewed and approved the technical information this presentation. An Exploration Target is term used within the JORC 2012 Code for an estimate of the exploration potential of a mineral deposit. As used in this release the stated exploration target is based upon the parameters described in the text, however the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature and there is insufficient information to estimate a Mineral Resource and it remains uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource in this area of recent drilling. The zinc equivalent ZnEq calculation takes into account, mining costs, milling costs, recoveries, payability (including transport and refining charges) and metal prices in generating a Zinc equivalent value for Au, Ag, Cu, Pb and Zn. ZnEq = Zn%+Cu%*3.12+Pb%*0.81+*Au g/t*0.86+Ag g/t*0.03. Metal prices used in the calculation are: Zn US$2,300/t, Pb US$ 2,050/t, Cu US$6,600/t, Au US$1,250/oz and Ag US$18/oz. These metal prices are based on Heron’s long term view on average metal prices. It is Heron’s view that all the metals within this formula are expected to be recovered and sold. Metallurgical metal recoveries used for the formula are: 88% Zn, 70% Pb, 70% Cu, 33% Au and 82% Ag; these are based on historical recoveries at Woodlawn and supported by metallurgical test work undertaken during the 2015-16 feasibility study.

Note 1: C3 basis: RVR Thalanga Restart Study dated 18 October 2015, NCZ presentation dated 6 August 2018, HRR DFS published June 2016 updated with prices US$2400/t Zn US$6000/t Cu US$2100/t Pb US$1200/oz. Au US$15/oz. Ag. Zinc recoveries are as published by the respective companies in their most recent announcements or presentations. Standard industry zinc payabilities are assumed. Reserves are based on most recent announcement to 11 August 2018. Note 2: For TV the current AISC used from Q2 2018 financials. This measure is not a life of mine estimate, and does not include depreciation, depletion, amortization, reclamation and exploration, and hence is less directly comparable to the other companies presented. Note 3: Total Margin = Reserve Tonnes x Zinc Grade x Zinc Recovery x Zinc Payability x (Published C3 Cost - Zinc Price). Based on zinc price of US$2400/lb. Note 4: based on Jun-30 quarterly data published by the respective companies, and share prices as at 11 August 2018.
Projected Low Cost Production
Woodlawn occupies a very attractive projected position on the cost curve…
… Despite being the only one of the peers with a new plant (and hence high capex)
Position is driven by the grade of the metal mix and hence strong by-product credits
Strong Cash Flow Generation Potential
Strong cash flow generation potential from Heron’s Reserves (relative bubble size)…
…and likely to grow with further underground exploration and Resource to Reserve conversion
MARKETS HERON EXPOSURE Positive fundamentals in base metals despite recent volatility
