Announcement PDF Gum Creek Gold Project horizongold.com.au Investor Presentation February 2025 ASX: HRN IMPORTANT NOTICE AND DISCLAIMER No New Information or Data This presentation contains references to exploration results and Resource estimates, all of which have been cross referenced to previous market announcements made by the Company. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the relevant market announcements and, in the case of estimates of Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. This presentation contains references to forecast financial information extracted from the Company's announcement titled “Compelling Gum Creek Scoping Study “ dated 20 March 2024. The Company confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original announcement, all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the forecast financial information derived from the Scoping Study and included in the original announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed. Cautionary Statement The mine production target and forecast financial information referred to in the Gum Creek Scoping Study includes Indicated Mineral Resources (approximately 76%) and Inferred Mineral Resources (approximately 24%). The Inferred material does not have a material effect on the technical and economic viability of the Gum Creek Gold Project. There is a low level of geological confidence associated with Inferred Mineral Resources and there is no certainty that further exploration work will result in the determination of Indicated Mineral Resources or that the production target itself will be realised. Forward Looking Statements This presentation may contain certain “forward-looking statements” which may not have been based solely on historical facts, but rather may be based on the Company’s current expectations about future events and results. Where the Company expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, forward looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks include, but are not limited to metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, as well as political and operational risks and governmental regulation and judicial outcomes. Competent Persons Statement The information in this presentation that relates to exploration activities and exploration results is based on information compiled by Mr Leigh Ryan, who is a member of The Australasian Institute of Geoscientists. Mr Ryan is the Managing Director of Horizon Gold Limited and holds shares and options in the Company, Mr Ryan has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the "Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves”. Mr Ryan consents to the inclusion in the presentation of the matters based on information provided in the form and context in which it appears. 2 GUM CREEK PROJECT SCOPING STUDY Compelling standalone free milling open pit development opportunity1 Initial open pit gold 2 production target of Projected average production of LOM C1 operating costs LOM All in Sustaining Costs Pre-production Capex 888Koz 84Koz pa A$1730/oz A$1931/oz A$238.5M (24.5Mt @ 1.13g/t Au) over 10-year LOM ~Spot Gold Price A$3300/oz produced produced Pre-tax cashflow Pre-tax NPV8 Pre-tax IRR Payback A$904M A$548M 45.8% 2.1 years 3 1 Refer to Horizon Gold Limited ASX announcement titled “Compelling Gum Creek Scoping Study” dated 20 March 2024 for further information. 2 Approximately 76% of the initial mine production target ounces are classified as Indicated, with the remaining 24% classified as Inferred.
