Polymetal: Ore Reserves increase at Kyzyl

Polymetal International plc (POLY) 
Polymetal: Ore Reserves increase at Kyzyl 
 
11-Nov-2019 / 10:00 MSK 
Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement, transmitted by EQS Group. 
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. 
 
Release time IMMEDIATE LSE, MOEX, AIX: POLY / ADR: AUCOY 
Date         11 November 2019 
 
Polymetal International plc 
 
           Ore Reserves increase at Kyzyl 
 
   Polymetal is pleased to announce an 18% increase in Ore Reserves at Kyzyl 
    gold deposit to 8.5 Moz of gold in accordance with the JORC Code (2012). 
 
"We have concluded the first stage of extending open-pit life-of-mine at our 
       flagship operation. The next step is to estimate Ore Reserves at East 
           Bakyrchik in Q4 2020", said Vitaly Nesis, Group CEO of Polymetal. 
 
? The updated JORC-compliant Ore Reserve estimate as of 1 July 2019 
comprises 41.7 Mt of ore with an average grade of 6.3 g/t containing 8.5 
Moz of gold. This represents an 18% increase in gold contained in 
comparison with the reserves as at the end of 2018 1. 
 
? Open-pit reserves increased by 37% to 4.2 Moz of gold contained at an 
average grade of 5.7 g/t, while underground reserves were up 4% to 4.3 Moz 
of gold contained at an average grade of 7.1 g/t. 
 
? Total life of mine extended by 8 years (to 2047), while life of mine for 
the open pit added 5 years (to 2031) in comparison with the previous 
Feasibility Study estimate conducted in 2015 ("FS"). 
 
? The updated Ore Reserve estimate incorporates data from the drilling 
campaign (additional 239 diamond drill holes, 41.5 km of drilling) which 
resulted in extension of mineralization zones within the existing ore 
bodies and update of the resource model. 
 
? Cut-off grades decreased from 2.0 g/t to 1.0 g/t for the open pit and 
from 3.7 g/t to 3.0 g/t for the underground compared to the previous FS. 
The decline was driven by lower mining and processing costs based on 
actual operational and economic data and lower concentrate processing and 
transportation expenses which now take into account concentrate processing 
at the Amursk POX. 
 
? The new mining schedule assumes increased capacity of the Kyzyl 
processing plant which grew from the originally designed 1.8 Mtpa to 2.0 
Mtpa in 2019.

           ORE RESERVES 
 
The Ore Reserve estimate is reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) 
    as at 1 July 2019 using a gold price of US$ 1,200/oz and was prepared by 
  Polymetal. A cut-off grade of 1.0 g/t of gold was applied for the open pit

           ABOUT KYZYL 
 
       Kyzyl is a world-class asset located in north-eastern Kazakhstan in a 
  traditional mining region with good infrastructure and easy access to grid 
    power and the railway. In 2014, the asset was acquired by Polymetal. The 
  initial Feasibility Study and the updated Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource 
           estimates was completed by the Company in 2015. 
 
         The operation comprises the Bakyrchik refractory gold deposit and a 
 state-of-the-art 2.0 Mtpa processing plant employing conventional flotation 
    technology. The ultimate product of the production facility is flotation 
 concentrate. Low carbon concentrate is sent for processing to the Company's 
 POX facility in Amursk, while the high carbon concentrate currently goes to 
      third party off-takers. With the launch of POX-2, Polymetal intends to 
           process 100% of Kyzyl concentrate in-house.
