About Greatland

Greatland is a mining development and exploration company focused primarily on
precious and base metals.

The Company's flagship asset is the world-class Havieron gold-copper project
in the Paterson region of Western Australia, discovered by Greatland and
presently under development in joint venture with ASX gold major, Newcrest
Mining Limited.

Havieron is located approximately 45km east of Newcrest's existing Telfer gold
mine. The box cut and decline to develop the Havieron orebody commenced in
February 2021.  Development continues to accelerate with record advancement
achieved in the December 2022 quarter.  Havieron is intended to leverage the
existing Telfer infrastructure and processing plant. Access to Telfer de-risks
the development, reduces capital expenditure and lowers the project's carbon
footprint.

Greatland has a proven track record of discovery and exploration success and
is pursuing the next generation of tier-one mineral deposits by applying
advanced exploration techniques in under-explored regions.  Greatland has a
number of exploration projects across Western Australia and in parallel to the
development of Havieron is focused on becoming a multi-commodity miner of
significant scale.
