  9. Noise  Noise/vibrations concerns from one resident.  Ongoing regular discussions attempting to identify and resolve these issue  Analysis of noise and vibration data  Consultant from a noise mitigation strategies company (Flexshield) came to site in December 2012 measuring noise around and off-site to determine the main source of noise TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED

  12. Noise/ Vibration PPVmax- 0.12 mm/s Velocity (mm/s) PPVmax- 0.10 mm/s 7/5/13 06:00 7/5/13 00:00  Vibration Levels at time of Noise/vibration concern received on the 7 th of May  AS2187.2 Vibration limit - 5mm/s  Walking - 1mm/s  Jumping - 7mm/s  Average vibration for a stope blast - 1.5mm/s  Max during time (00:00 - 06:00) of concern - 0.12mm/s  Noise data has been forwarded to the EPA 14 TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED

  13. Hi-volume samplers  Exceedance on the 4th of January over the PEPR criteria  SA Environmental Pollution Monitoring Services investigated the exceedance;  Dust contained low lead levels Wind speed 5-10 m/s  Wind direction (north to west)  High levels not recorded at western unit  Non-mine related dust TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED

  14. Blasting  No complaints regarding blasting during the quarter  Monitors were calibrated during the quarter and replaced by the roving monitor  All monitors are now operational  No data was recorded during the 25 th and 28 th of February and the 5 th to the 13 th of March due to issues with the solar panel resulting in battery failure (roving monitor)  Problem with the sensor at the Glover paddock monitor resulted in invalid data from 31 st of January till the 14 th of March  SAROS are currently installing an alarm system to raise an alert when unusual data inputs occur TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED

  20. Acid Mine Drainage - Management of the TSF Decant Pond  Raw water management  350m 3 /day sent underground for use in the underground drill rigs  Re-injection of filtered water  Increased feed capacity of the filtration plant (replaced the Osmoflo UF) which can treat 100m 3 /hr compared to 40m 3 /hr  Dust suppression- sprinklers and water trucks  RO plants - treating small amounts for internal use  TSF water management  Currently an average of 445m 3 /day of water is used within the process plant  Enhanced evaporation - sprinklers  Paste fill  V2 - contingency for high rainfall events TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED

  21. Community feedback & environmental incidents  3 registered community complaints  Two from one resident regarding noise at night- – noise curtains installed – house visit – noise monitoring conducted at the house  Local resident complained about work conducted on Good Friday- did not leave details  2 internal environmental events recorded  Turtle found in process pond  Oil spill identified on road verge adjacent to the eastern paddock fenceline TERRAMIN AUSTRALIA LIMITED
