19 March 2014 Manager Company Announcements Company Announcements Office Australian Securities Exchange Limited Level 4, 20 Bridge Street SYDNEY NSW 2000 ABN 85 003 257 556 Dear Sir/Madam Via Electronic Lodgement Nullagine Gold Project Life of Mine Update Millennium Minerals Limited ( Millennium or the Company ) is pleased to report the key outputs of the life of mine (LOM) plan for the Nullagine Gold Project (the Project) that includes the recently announced Ore Reserve 1. The information provided covers the period January 2014 to December 2019. Highlights Mining inventory included in the LOM now stands at 481,000 ounces, including the Ore Reserve of 465,000 contained ounces, treatment of medium grade stockpiles and some Inferred Mineral Resources likely to be mined. The plan forecasts mining and processing 9.8 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.52 g/t Au to recover 426,000 ounces, at an average metallurgical recovery of 89. Higher mill throughput of 1.6 million tonnes per year. Forecast LOM mine level cash flow of $171 million 2, using a spot gold price of US$1350/oz and exchange rate of $US0.90 : $1.00 and the average hedged gold price of $1594/oz (for 72,000 ounces.) Project before tax, pre debt, NPV (7 discount rate) of $144 million. Average LOM cash (C1) costs of A$989 per ounce and sustaining cash cost of $1,160 per ounce. Using the above prices, an average LOM gross operating margin (Project level) of A$527 per ounce. FY2014 production is estimated at approximately 76,000 ounces at a C1 cash cost of A$975 per ounce and a sustaining cash cost of A$1140 per ounce. 1 All Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves are reported in accordance with JORC, 2012. 2 All currency units are Australian dollars unless otherwise denoted Ground Floor 10 Kings Park Road West Perth WA 6005 Australia.

Updated Project Outputs The Project business model was revised with the new mining schedule, updated operating costs and metallurgical recovery estimates. The key Project outputs are set out in Table 1.

The Company recently updated the Nullagine Gold Project s Ore Reserve (ASX announcement of 10 March 2014). The mine operating schedule produced recognises Ore Reserve depletion, lower spot gold prices and actual operating costs experienced over the first year of operation. The mining schedule now forecasts mining and processing 9.8 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.52 g/t Au including Inferred Mineral Resources not included in the Ore Reserve but expected to be mined under practical mining conditions. Planning also assumes that all medium and low grade stockpiles are treated during the life of higher grade mine and mill operations. This will be achieved by utilising available mill capacity above and beyond that required to treat the higher grade ore, and where the operating margin per ounce of lower grade material treated warrants its processing cost. Mine Scheduling The Project consists of five main deposit areas; Golden Eagle, All Nations, Barton, Golden Gate and Shearers. Smaller higher grade deposits surrounding the Golden Gate area; Crow, G Reef, Harrier, Falcon and Condor are also included in this study. The updated mining schedule also includes the Little Wonder, Otways deposits and the Camel Creek Joint Venture deposits. The LOM is based on achieving a mill run time of 96, based on better SAG mill liner life and continuing improvements in wear component life. The updated planning assumptions reflect actual operating performance achieved by the operation. Whilst this reduces mine life marginally to six years the forecast reflects a higher and more consistent gold production profile than that forecast in the original base case model, particularly over the period 2014 through to 2017. The gold production profile for the period 2018 2019 is constrained by the current Ore Reserve. It is expected that this profile will change following in fill drilling and Mineral Resource to Ore Reserve conversion studies to be completed during 2014. Future Performance A feature of the LOM plan is the greater flexibility available to the Company due to the recent establishment of multiple ore sources and associated mining operations. From 2014 mining and process operations have available oxidised, transition and fresh ore from the Golden Eagle deposit, higher grade oxidised ore at Golden Gate and substantial medium grade stockpiles located at the process plant. Improved blending of these materials should allow more uniform head grades, gold recovery and mill throughput over the currently planned life of the Project. In addition, the remaining deposits included in the mining schedule yet to be developed will largely add oxidised and transition ore types to the mining and milling plan so the proportion of fresh ore included in the mill feed blend will progressively decrease from around 50 in 2014 2015, to below 30 for the remaining LOM plan. The Company views the current mine life of six years as more than adequate as a reserve base to allow for the future development of additional Ore Reserves from the reported 1.9 million ounce Mineral Resource inventory. Longer term, the Company has a highly prospective pipeline of targets within its mining leases that show potential for further Mineral Resource development. These targets need to be drilled out over the next two years and assessed before that potential can be determined. Corporate Following completion of the updated LOM plan, Millennium is currently in discussions with its bankers to agree an amended debt repayment schedule to match the Project s updated production profile (as previously announced). Those discussions are expected to be completed prior to March 31, 2014 when Millennium is required to make its next loan repayment. Page 3 of 3

Nullagine Gold Project Background The Project contains a 1.91 million ounce gold Mineral Resource situated within 9 deposits on granted mining leases (Table 2). The current Ore Reserve has 465,000 contained ounces (Table 3). The operation is located 10 kilometres south of the township of Nullagine. Mine construction commenced in July 2011 with first gold poured 30 September 2012. Commercial production was declared from 1 January 2013.

The Golden Gate (ABCD reef), and Golden Gate satellite deposits, namely Falcon, Condor, Harrier, Crow and G Reef were estimated using Ordinary Kriging. 5. The Golden Gate and Bartons deposits are the subject of a mining licence agreement whereby Millennium has the sole and exclusive right to explore and mine gold and other minerals. Millennium then is required to pay 25 of the net proceeds to the tenement owners (Livestock Marketing Pty Ltd, Duncan Thomas Young, Simba Holdings Pty Ltd and Ronald Lane Swinney) after mining and processing cost deductions. 6. The Mineral Resources at the Camel Creek JV (CCJV) were estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology by CSA Global. Only Millennium's 50 interest is stated in the above table. 7. The Mineral Resources at Beatons Creek deposit estimated using Ordinary Kriging methodology for grade estimation by Tetra Tech Inc. Beatons Creek is subject to a farmin Joint Venture with Novo Resources Corp (Novo) (CNSX:NVO). Under the Farm In agreement Novo may earn a 70 interest in the Beatons Creek tenements by delivering a bankable Feasibility Study on the property within 5 years of commencement of the Agreement which was executed in August 2011. As Novo has yet to earn an interest in the Beatons Creek tenements, the Company accounts for 100 of the mineral resource on the Beatons Creek tenements. Page 5 of 5
