IGO SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2020

NOVA OPERATION The Nova Operation is a greenfield high-grade nickel-copper-cobalt deposit located in the Fraser Range, approximately 140km east-north- east of Norseman. The operation sits within the Great Western Woodlands. The Ngadju people are the Traditional Owners and custodians of this area, with their native title claim being recognised by the Federal Court on 21 November 2014. The Nova deposit was discovered in 2012 and the operation reached nameplate ore production capacity in 2017. Mining is conducted using underground stoping methods and processing is conducted using conventional crushing, grinding, flotation and filtration methods. TROPICANA OPERATION The Tropicana Operation is located on the western edge of the Great Victoria Desert, making it one of the most isolated mining operations in Western Australia. The Wongatha and Spinifex peoples are the Traditional Owners and custodians of the land. The open pit mining method, which is employed at Tropicana, produces from up to four contiguous pits, which extend approximately 5km in strike length. The processing methodology involves conventional crushing, grinding and carbon-in-leach recovery. Tropicana achieved its three million- ounce milestone in FY20, seven years after the first gold was poured at the site. The Boston Shaker Underground Mine is currently being developed with commercial production remaining on track to commence in the September 2020 quarter. REGIONAL EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT Exploration and discovery are a key pillar of IGO’s growth strategy. We are continuing to pursue strategic step-change organic growth through our portfolio of belt-scale exploration projects in Australia and overseas, to unlock the mines of the future and consolidate our position in clean energy markets. In FY20, we made significant progress consolidating our ground position at our prospective belt-scale projects, including the Fraser Range, Kimberley and Paterson regions of Western Australia, and the Lake Mackay and Raptor projects of the Northern Territory. Some of our exploration activity was delayed in 2020 due to COVID-19 and the Government-mandated access restrictions relating to remote communities. Field programs in these locations will begin to resume in the September 2020 quarter. MINERAL TITLES In FY20, IGO continued to consolidate our ground positions at our belt-scale exploration projects. IGO’s current exploration tenement holdings cover approximately one per cent of Australia’s land area, however, our total landholdings have decreased over the last 12 months due to a reduction in the Fraser Range and Greenland exploration licence packages. These changes were the result of an improved understanding of opportunities at these projects. We have increased our land tenure in both the Kimberley and Paterson projects, with exploration licences again representing the majority of mineral tenements held by IGO. A breakdown of total landholdings is presented below: IGO landholdings by mineral tenement (hectares) FY20 FY19 FY18 FY17 Prospecting licences 0 400 1,780 2,480 Exploration licences 3,088,649 1 3,992,640 1,356,880 1,596,600 Mining leases 4,670 4,670 36,295 49,254 Miscellaneous and other licences 4,072 4,054 752,883 286,969 Freehold 2 0 0 721 1,329 Total IGO landholdings 3 3,097,391 4,001,764 2,148,559 1,936,632 1.
