ABOUT WEST WITS MINING LIMITED
West Wits Mining Limited (ASX: WWI) (OTCQB: WMWWF) is focused on the exploration, development and
production of high-value precious and base metals for the benefit of shareholders, communities and
environments in which it operates. Witwatersrand Basin Project, located in the proven gold region of Central
Rand Goldfield of South Africa, boasts a 5.025Moz gold project at 4.66g/t2. The Witwatersrand Basin is a largely
underground geological formation which surfaces in the Witwatersrand. It holds the world's largest
known gold reserves and has produced over 1.5 billion ounces (over 40,000 metric tons), representing about 22%
of all the gold accounted for above the surface. In Western Australia, WWI is exploring gold and copper at the
Mt Cecilia Project in a district that supports several world-class projects such as Woodie Woodie manganese
mine, Nifty copper and Telfer gold/copper/silver mines.

DISCLAIMER
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENTS
This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” as that term within the meaning of securities laws of
applicable jurisdictions. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors that are in some cases beyond West Wits Mining Limited’s control. These forward-looking statements
include, but are not limited to, all statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this
presentation, including, without limitation, those regarding West Wits Mining Limited’s future expectations.
Readers can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “aim,” “anticipate,” “assume,”
“believe,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “risk,” “should,” “will” or “would” and other similar expressions. Risks, uncertainties and
other factors may cause West Wits Mining Limited’s actual results, performance, production or achievements
to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements (and from past results,
performance or achievements).
The original report was “Updates to Qala Shallows DFS provide improved results for Witwatersrand Basin
Project” which was issued with consent of the Competent Person, Mr. Jim Pooley. The report was released to
the ASX in July 2023 and can be found on the Company’s website (https://westwitsmining.com/). The
Company is not aware of any new information or data that materially effects the information included in the
relevant market announcement and, in the case of Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves, that all material
assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcement
continue to apply and have not materially changed. The form and context in which the Competent Person’s
findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcement.
These factors include, but are not limited to, the failure to complete and commission the mine facilities and
related infrastructure in the time frame and within estimated costs currently planned; variations in global
demand and price for gold fluctuations in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar, South African Rand and
the Australian Dollar; the failure of West Wits Mining Limited’s suppliers, service providers and partners to fulfil
their obligations under construction, supply and other agreements; unforeseen geological, physical or
meteorological conditions, natural disasters or cyclones; changes in the regulatory environment, industrial
disputes, labour shortages, political and other factors; the inability to obtain additional financing, if required,
on commercially suitable terms; and global and regional economic conditions. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The information concerning possible production in this
announcement is not intended to be a forecast. They are internally generated goals set by the board of
directors of West Wits Mining Limited. The ability of the Company to achieve any targets will be largely
determined by the Company’s ability to secure adequate funding, implement mining plans, resolve logistical
issues associated with mining and enter into any necessary off take arrangements with reputable third parties.
Although West Wits Mining Limited believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements
are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual
results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements.

QALA SHALLOWS MINING PLAN
Trackless development with conventional stoping
– tried and tested
▪
Ore body is accessed from surface via a decline system developed
from the existing Qala adit box cut
▪
The decline is located centrally in the mining area and the K9B
footwall
▪
Stopes will be accessed via strike drives developed on the K9B reef
horizon
▪
Development of the strike drives and decline will be by mechanised
method with drill rigs, LHDs and ADTs deployed for drilling, face
cleaning and hauling of blasted rock to the tips respectively
▪
Mining in the stope blocks will be using standard conventional
mining techniques widely used in region with the deployment of
handheld drills and cleaning using a scraper and winch
combination
▪
Most of the mining will take place in a large unmined block of
ground to the east of the property
▪
Stoping will commence from 35m below surface to a maximum
depth of 850m
▪
A small amount of waste rock will be stockpiled on site
▪
Once on surface, ore will be trucked approximately 40km to an
existing processing plant under a Toll Processing agreement with
Sibanye Stillwater.

QALA SHALLOWS PRODUCTION SCHEDULE
MINING SCHEDULE & GRADE
DFS completed in July 2023 by Bara Consulting2
▪
DFS completed on first stage of development to
deliver 924,000oz gold at AISC of US$977/oz
▪
From the project start date, there is a 6 - 8 week
period to mobilise contractors and purchase initial
equipment
▪
Initial production will provide a robust 30,000 tonne
ore stockpile to facilitate delivery of 15,000 tonnes per
month to Sibanye-Stillwater’s plant which ramps up to
steady state of around 60,000 tonnes per month
▪
Targeting achievement of the stockpile & delivery
within 6 to 8 months from start of production
▪
Gradual mine build-up towards a steady-state
production of 5,700 ounces of gold per month at an
AISC of US$871/oz

▪
Peak funding substantially reduced at prevailing Gold Price due to higher revenues
from production during the 3-year mine development phase
▪
At a Gold Price (US$2,200/oz), peak funding reduces to US$43M
PROJECT FUNDING INITIATIVES
▪
▪
Due Diligence completed, SA commercial bank has obtained credit approval and
a South African Development Finance Institution (DFI) is in the final credit approval
process and to participate in a syndicated senior debt loan to fund 50 - 60% of
development funding requirements
Having a substantial portion of the funding requirement provided for by a
syndicated bank debt facility would provide a strong platform for finalising
arrangements for the required balance. The Company continues to engage and
negotiate with several other potential sources to complete all required funding for
the project
