ABOUT THETA GOLD MINES LIMITED
Theta Gold Mines Limited (ASX: TGM | OTCQB: TGMGF) is a gold development company that holds a range
of prospective gold assets in a world-renowned South African gold mining region. These assets include
several surface and near-surface high-grade gold projects which provide cost advantages relative to other
gold producers in the region.
Theta Gold’s core project is located next to the historical gold mining town of Pilgrim’s Rest, in Mpumalanga
Province, some 370km northeast of Johannesburg by road or 95km north of Nelspruit (Capital City of
Mpumalanga Province). Following small scale production from 2011 – 2015, the Company is currently
focussing on the construction of a new gold processing plant within its approved footprint at the TGME
plant, and for the processing of the Theta Open Pit oxide gold ore. Nearby surface and underground mines
and prospects are expected to be further evaluated in the future.
The Company aims to build a solid production platform to over 160kozpa based primarily around shallow,
open-pit or adit-entry shallow underground hard rock mining sources. Theta Gold has access to over 43
historical mines and prospect areas that can be accessed and explored, with over 6.7Moz of historical
production recorded.
Theta Gold holds 100% issued capital of its South African subsidiary, Theta Gold SA (Pty) Ltd (“TGSA”). TGSA
holds a 74% shareholding in both Transvaal Gold Mining Estates Limited (“TGME”) and Sabie Mines (Pty)
Ltd (“Sabie Mines”). The balance of shareholding is held by Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) entities.
The South African Mining Charter requires a minimum of 26% meaningful economic participation by the
historically disadvantaged South Africans (“HDSAs”). The BEE shareholding in TGME and Sabie Mines is
comprised of a combination of local community trusts, an employee trust and a strategic entrepreneurial
partner.

Description
Cautionary Statement for the LOM Base Case – The Base Case is presented as potential upside to the Project. However, the Base Case is supported by a significant portion of Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources
inherently have a lower level of confidence and although it would be reasonable to expect that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources would upgrade to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration, it should not be
assumed that such upgrading will occur. The realization of the full potential of the Base Case as presented thus cannot be guaranteed.
Start date will be subject too securing necessary funding and approval of regulatory permits.
