Qualification

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.

Exploration targets presented and discussed here are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource

(“Resource”) or Ore Reserve (“Reserve”). 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 JORC. Refer to last two slides of this presentation for the relevant Competent Person statements. Resources are

inclusive of Reserves.

Some of the comments, forecasts, targeted outcomes and predictions made, or that might be interpreted from the comments herein, are subjective and

speculative, in part because such is the very nature of gold exploration and exploitation, and in part also because geoscientists and engineers can be

very optimistic about the future of the exploration and other work programs they are involved in. Such optimism can lead to erroneous judgments as to

future results and valuations, and in many cases external factors may change the outcome.

Take care to question and carefully evaluate any judgments you might make, on the basis of this presentation, as to the value of Saracen and its

securities. This presentation is not intended to provide the sole or principal basis of any investment or credit decision or any other risk evaluation and

may not be considered as a recommendation by Saracen or its officers. Any investor reading this presentation should determine its interest in acquiring

securities in Saracen on the basis of independent investigations that it considers necessary, prudent or desirable.

Saracen and its officers do not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered or incurred by any investor or any other person or entity however

caused (including negligence) relating in any way to this presentation including, without limitation, the information contained in it, any errors or

omissions however caused by any other person or entity placing any reliance on this presentation, its accuracy or reliability.

This presentation should not be construed as an offer or mooted offer in relation to Saracen securities.
