Sustainability Performance was delivered to target or better across all key metrics of safety, environment, water, emissions, community, progress on Net Zero and close out of actions.
Two Shared Value Projects were approved this quarter. At Mt Rawdon the Murra Wolka Art Project involved construction of infrastructure to enable our
First Nation Partners, the Gidarjil Development Corporation, to take ownership of Murra Wolka Creations, a 100% Indigenous owned and operated enterprise. The second Shared Value Project was a partnership with the Burnett Mary Regional Group to develop the Elliot Heads Wetlands, Research Centre and Seagrass Nursery, a project focused on sustainable development. In partnership with the
Wiradjuri Condobolin Corporation, the Galari Agricultural Company was launched to operate a sheep livestock and wool production business, whilst also providing training and employment opportunities. The official launch events for the
Galari Agricultural Company and Murra Wolka Creations were held during NAIDOC week, celebrating Indigenous business success.
Group gold production for the June 2022 quarter was 16% higher than the prior quarter at 172,722 ounces (Mar qtr: 148,787oz). AISC was $1,290 per ounce
(Mar qtr: $990/oz). As noted in the Business Update released on 27 June 2022 the AISC was higher than the previous quarter largely due to a lower realised
copper price with an average of four month’s material open at any point in time. The closing copper price at 30 June was A$11,965/t (Mar qtr closing price
A$13,815/t). This was 13% lower than the March quarter which resulted in the lower achieved copper price for the quarter.
Mine operating cash flow remained strong at $228.0 million (Mar qtr: $268.9M). Additional sales from higher production this quarter were offset by the
higher sales last quarter relating to the termination of the Ernest Henry economic interest after acquiring 100% of the operation. Other drivers to the change in operating cash flow were higher costs associated with increased tonnes mined and processed and the lower copper price. Net mine cash flow was lower at
$39.1 million (Mar qtr: $124.5M) due to the lower operating cash flow and planned higher capital investment of $188.7 million (Mar qtr: $143.6M)
reflecting the planned ramp-up in investment activity at Cowal and Red Lake.

As at 30 June 2022, Evolution had cash balance of
$572.4 million and net debt5
of $1,210.5 million.
Group gold production is guided at 720,000 ounces
+/-5% for FY23 with production in the September
quarter to be around 170,000 ounces.
Ernest Henry has now completed six months under
full Evolution ownership. This contributed to an
exceptional $474.2 million of operating mine cash
flow and $435.4 million of net mine cash flow in FY22
at an AISC of negative $1,680 per ounce. The Prefeasibility Study on a mine extension continues as
planned with an updated Mineral Resource estimate
to be released on 1 August 2022.
The Red Lake transformation focused on operational
improvements during the quarter and the operation
is now consistently achieving the key metrics
required to deliver the FY23 guidance. Consistent
mining performance contributed to the Campbell and
Red Lake plants achieving a record for quarterly ore
processing at 258,000 tonnes. This, along with an
8% higher processed grade, lifted production 17%
from the prior quarter to 38,620 ounces.
Cowal overcame the effects of further significant
rainfall in April to increase material movements and
ore tonnes mined which lifted production back over
60,000 ounces for the quarter. The Underground
Project is tracking on budget and schedule and
achieved a major milestone during the quarter with
the award of the primary mining contract. All material
contracts for the project have now been awarded.
Mungari production rose 7% to over 35,000 ounces
this quarter. Pleasingly, progress in the integration of
the Kundana assets enabled the operation to
mitigate impacts from COVID-related absenteeism,
allowing people and equipment to be moved
between operating areas to complete priority tasks.
For the third consecutive quarter Mt Rawdon has
experienced extreme weather. Work done to
manage instability in the North Wall enabled access
to higher grade ore in the pit which resulted in an
improved performance this quarter.
The Mt Rawdon 2GW Pumped Hydro Electricity
Project continues to progress with the Feasibility
Study due for completion in June 2023.
