Chairman's Report

Dear fellow shareholders,

On behalf of the Board of Directors, I present to you the 2015 Annual Report of Ramelius Resources Limited.

It is my pleasure to report that in 2015 Ramelius returned to profit, recording a profit before tax of $20.5 million, a significant turnaround from last year's $102.5 million loss. Net profit after tax was $16.3 million compared to a loss of $85.5 million in the prior year. The result reflects significant measures taken by your Company to cut costs and improve operating efficiencies at the Mt Magnet gold project.

Industry conditions during 2014/15 continued to be difficult with ongoing market volatility and low sentiment for gold producers. However the depreciation of the Australian dollar resulted in an improvement in the gold price which commenced the financial year at A$1,396 per ounce and rose to A$1,521 per ounce at 30 June 2015.

Cash generated from gold sales during the year was $129.9 million from 88,706 ounces of gold compared to $130.4 million from 92,830 ounces of gold in 2013/14. Ramelius achieved an average gold sales price of $1,464 per ounce for 2014/15 compared to $1,404 per ounce in the previous year.

Mining activities during the year focussed on the Mt Magnet Gold Project where the cutback operation on the Galaxy pits (Saturn and Mars) accessed the high grade ore zones below the base of the historic open pits and the commencement in January 2015 of the Perseverance open pit cutback.

After preliminary surface preparation works from March 2015, the decline at the Vivien gold mine was commenced in May 2015 which will enable Ramelius to access the high grade under- ground gold deposit over a 3 year period.

In June 2015 the Company also commenced open pit mining at the Kathleen Valley gold mine. This development consists of 3 shallow high grade gold deposits with first ore and gold production expected in the first half of 2015/16.

The new Vivien and Kathleen Valley mining operations represent an exciting phase for your Company in its quest to leverage off the economies of scale presented by the processing capacity at Mt Magnet where the high grade gold ore from these projects will be processed.

After placing the Burbanks Mill near Coolgardie in Western Australia on care and maintenance, ongoing milling activities were centred at the Company's 'Checkers' processing plant, located at Mt Magnet in Western Australia which processed approximately 1.63 million tonnes of ore at a recovered average grade of 1.55g/t to produce 81,683 ounces of fine gold. This represented a significant increase on the 73,980 ounces of gold produced in 2013/14 from 1.60 million tonnes of ore at a recovered average grade of 1.43g/t.

Despite the Company's mining activities and gold production during the financial year, Ramelius maintained its Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve gold ounces position with the following estimates reported as at 30 June 2015.

• Total Mineral Resources of 28.152 million tonnes at 2.5g/t for 2,227,000 ounces of gold (2014: 28.702 million tonnes at 2.4g/t for 2,250,000 ounces of gold); and

  
  

• Total Ore Reserves of 4.854 million tonnes at 2.7g/t for 424,000 ounces of gold (2014: 5.579 million tonnes @ 2.4g/t for 427,000 ounces of gold).
