It is expected that the outflow will reach areas of MSES, which may cause some impact to the existing ecosystem, but the area of damage is expected to be less than 1 km 2 . Low Harm to third-party assets in the failure path is expected to require less than $1 million or in rehabilitation, compensation, repair or rectification costs.

(1) The PLL was calculated without the mining personnel

Environmental Spill/Failure to contain (Overtopping Consequence)
An embankment overtopping was deemed as non-credible for the proposed Upper Mundic Gully TSF,
given the storage design that allows containment of a 120-hr PMP storm volume. After such an extreme
storm, a subsequent storm of a sufficient magnitude to cause catastrophic damage or failure of the dam
is unlikely to occur prior to the water level being drawn down.
Therefore, the environmental spill/overtopping consequence has been based on a more frequent event
following a PMP storm, which is considered to be a credible failure scenario. Note, this scenario is not
expected to sufficiently erode the embankment to induce a breach. It is expected that any spills would
be largely attenuated by the OCP and contained in the downstream drainage infrastructure and Dee
River.
