This presentation has been prepared by Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited (Saracen or the Company) based on information from its own and third party sources and is not a disclosure document. No party other than the Company has authorised or caused the issue, lodgement, submission, despatch or provision of this presentation, or takes any responsibility for, or makes or purports to make any statements, representations or undertakings in this presentation. You should be aware that as an Australian company with securities listed on the ASX, the Company is required to report reserves and resources in Australia in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code 2012 Edition ) ("JORC Code"). You should note that while the Company's reserve and resource estimates comply with the JORC Code, they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries. This is a presentation about geology, geoscientific interpretation, geoscientific speculation, gold deposits, gold potential, engineering, infrastructure, potential values, costs, risks, and related matters pertinent to Saracen’s present and future activities as a publicly listed mineral exploration and production company. It includes forecasts, predictions, targets and estimates of future expenditures which may vary over time. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Resource or Reserve. Where exploration, evaluation, operational and feasibility study expenditure estimates and budgets amounts are presented herein, ongoing prioritisation and scaling of expenditures will be subject to results and, where applicable, scheduling changes. Targeted production and other outcomes are subject to change, and may not eventuate, depending on the results of ongoing performance and assessment of data. All Reserves and Resources as referred to herein are in accordance with the JORC Code. Refer to last slide of this presentation for the relevant Competent Person statements. Resources are inclusive of Reserves. Certain statements contained in the Presentation Materials, including information as to the future financial or operating performance of the Company and its projects, are forward looking statements. Such forward looking statements: a) are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant technical, business, economic, competitive, political and

social uncertainties and contingencies; b) involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results reflected in such forward looking statements; and c) may include, among other things, statements regarding estimates and assumptions in respect of prices, costs, results and capital expenditure, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future

technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions. The Company disclaims any intent or obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “indicate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and similar expressions identify forward looking statements. All forward looking statements contained in the Presentation Materials are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Recipients are cautioned that forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly recipients are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein. The Presentation Materials do not purport to be all inclusive or to contain all information about the Company. This presentation is not a prospectus, disclosure document or other offering document under Australian law or under any other law. It is provided for information purposes and is not an invitation nor offer of shares for subscription, purchase or sale in any jurisdiction.

Consideration: • A$20 million cash on Settlement; • A$3 million cash upon the sooner

of commencement of commercial production, or if, after a period of 24 months following settlement, the prevailing gold price has exceeded A$1,550/oz for a calendar month;

• 1.5% NSR Royalty on the Thunderbox Operations (capped at A$17 million).

Equates to an acquisition cost of A$11 per Resource ounce & A$32 per Reserve ounce

Points of Difference

59

Delivery • One of Saracen’s core values • Consistently delivery into guidance quarter by quarter over 2.5 years • Resource confidence and reconciliation performance underpins guidance

1

Declining Cost Profile

• AISC set to decrease over A$350/oz to A$1,150/oz (Carosue Dam Operations) • Thunderbox cash costs of A$1,100/oz (approx 5 year mine life) • Increasing margins via declining costs & increasing hedge prices

2

Progressive & Measured

• Carosue Dam Operation forecast to deliver 150,000 ounces per annum • Thunderbox Operations potential to deliver 140,000 ounces per annum • Potential to double production to 290,000 ounces per annum and increase free cashflow

4

Exploration Pipeline

• A$10m regional exploration budget (Carosue Dam & Thunderbox Operations) • A$10m exploration decline & drilling program at Karari (Carosue Dam Operations) • A$5m exploration budget for Red October program

3

Safe Gold Bet • Protection to the downside… via hedgebook, 100% protection in FY2015, ~32% in FY2016 • Leverage to the upside… via our 1.6Moz ore reserve base, with significant upside • Reliable Board & Management, focused on cashflow and delivery
