FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
These materials prepared by Westgold Resources Limited (or “the Company”) include forward-looking statements. Often, but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as “may”,
“will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation, statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or
construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.
Forward-looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to, changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions, increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of
exploration and project development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the Company
operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.
Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the Company’s business and operations

these or other factors not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control.
Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be other factors that could cause actual
results, performance, achievements or events not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended, and many events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forwardlooking statements. Forward-looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue.

“Westgold is delivering on the strategy of
producing safe and profitable ounces in FY23.
We are early in this operational and financial
turnaround and we are continuing to build
balance sheet strength.
Our assets are past the heavy capital intensive
phase and free cash flow is growing at a time
when the gold price is in uncharted territory.
Increasing free cash flow and profitability is
key to structuring this business for growth into
FY24 and beyond. Our team now has a clear
view to a larger, safer and sustainable gold
business.“
