Message From  
Executive Chairman 
Robert Baldock

When I wrote to you last year, I  
discussed our focus on unlocking  
value built into our balance sheet  
from our existing projects: Selinsing 
Sulphide Gold Project, Murchison  
Gold Project and Mengapur Copper/
Iron Project. 

Fast forward one year and we have the 
worldwide Covid-19 pandemic with over 
27 million people worldwide infected 
and the death toll climbing towards a 
million, many countries are still trying 
to come out of complete sectors of the 
economy shutdown, governments are 
printing money to support its businesses  
and people, and gold shooting up to 
all-time highs above $2,000 per ounce. 
It really goes to show us, none of us 
know what may lie ahead for the future, 
but these challenging and uncertain 
times appear to be here to stay with us. 
While we don’t how long this pandemic 
will last, we want to let all stakeholders 
know we will be doing everything within 
our capacity to protect our shareholders 
and keep our business strong. 

Monument over the last 13 years has 
acquired a large project portfolio and 
has several large catalysts that may 

provide stimulus to the value of the 
Company. One of those catalysts is 
the Selinsing Sulphide Project, in which 
the Company continues to focus on 
obtaining funding to convert the current 
oxide treatment plant to a sulphide 
treatment plant, which is expected to 
place the Selinsing Sulphide Project  
into production within 18 months from 
the commencement of construction.

A second catalyst is our Murchison 
Gold Project in Western Australia. At  
the Murchison Gold Project an updated 
NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimation 
was announced in July 2018. Since 
that time, our team in Western Australia 
has been planning and implementing 
a series drilling programs and studies 
to confirm near mine down-plunge 
potential and regional exploration to 
potentially increase gold inventory and 
improve the mine economics. With the 
Covid-19 Pandemic, the Australian local 
gold industry has been heating up, with 
travel outside of Australia becoming 
difficult; making local WA projects  
more desirable.  

A third catalyst is our Mengapur Copper- 
Iron Project in Malaysia. Mengapur is a 

large economic scale project, in which a 
NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimation 
was released in October 2018. We are 
currently looking at potential partnerships  
to unlock the value of Mengapur, with 
the recent increases in both copper and 
iron ore prices.   

Each one of these catalysts could 
provide an increase in the Company’s 
value going forward into fiscal 2021 
and beyond for our shareholders. Also, 
safety is a priority for us, and we worked 
hard in fiscal 2020, during the Covid-19 
Pandemic, to continue to improve safety 
at every level of the operations for the 200  
employees who work at our sites. I would  
like to thank our patient shareholders 
for their continued support. 

Sincerely,

Message From  
President & CEO 
Cathy Zhai 

Fiscal 2020 was challenging for us more  
than ever with the Covid-19 pandemic  
cutting in the middle of our financing 
efforts for our Selinsing Project; while 
also exciting for new opportunities as 
the gold price hits a record high, and 
copper and iron prices also gave a flavor  
of the market, subsequent to the year 
ended June 20, 2020. 

Our work has delivered during 2020  
a new business model to top up our  
Selinsing opportunities for financing and 
development by treating third parties’ 
sulphide gold concentrates through the 
sulphide treatment plant. Murchison 
has completed the confirmation drilling 
program to test the targets based on 
the structural geological studies. The 
results have confirmed the continuity 
of gold mineralization within identified 
structures and favorable lithology from 
existing mineral resources. We are also 
working with potential partners at the 
corporate level to unlock the value of 
the Mengapur Project. We believe in 
vision and persistence that will lead 
us to achieve our corporate objectives, 
and we have made good progress in 
which we have not only been evaluating 
the available opportunities, but also 
creating new opportunities that we 
believe are in the best interests of our 
shareholders. 

Selinsing Gold Mine produced 17,360 
ounces of gold in 2020 from remaining 
oxide ore inventory for gross revenue of 
$29.97 million, a gross margin of $12.9 
million and a net cash from production 
of $6.27 million, improved from $2.14 
million last year. Cash cost was $878 per  
ounce with all-in sustaining cost of $1,136  
per ounce. It has brought our aggregated  
Selinsing Gold Mine production to 
315,227 ounces at an average cost of 
$509 per ounce with gross revenue of 
$428.9 million, gross margin of $255 
million and a net cash from production 
of $178 million. The 1,000th gold bar 
was poured in October 2019 that round 
up gold production to 304Koz level. 

In March 2020, the World Health  
Organization declared a global pandemic  
following the emergence and rapid  
spread of a novel strain of the coronavirus  
(“COVID-19”). The Company’s operations  
were suspended for eight weeks with 
gradual recoveries.  The Company’s 
financing has been impacted as well. 
Management took risk management 
measures and a business operating 
plan which enables us to sustain our 
production and continue with financing 
and corporate development to minimize 
the adverse impact and risks that  
the pandemic contributed to significant  
declines and volatility in financial  
markets and commercial activities.

In fiscal 2020, Selinsing delivered  
positive cash in production, including 
the trial mining at Peranggih. It has 
further optimized the Sulphide Bio-leach 
plant design and certain test work on 
gold sulphide concentrates.     

Exploration work at Selinsing  
continued at Peranggih to supply  
additional oxide material around the 
mining area to sustain production, and 
to identify regional exploration targets 
ready for regional exploration planned 
after the Selinsing Sulphide Project  
is placed into production. The assay  
results from previous exploration 
program have showed a new anomaly 
which has been called the Mentique 
Prospect, parallel and 1km west of  
the Peranggih Gold Prospect.  

The Murchison Project in 2020  
completed a 3D structural geological 
study at Murchison which confirmed 
near mine down-plunge potential 
and highlights regional prospectivity. 
A drilling program for high priority drill 
targets at Gabanintha and Burnakura 
was conducted to test down plunge 
extensions of existing high grade gold 
mineralization at both the Burnakura 
Project (Alliance, New Alliance and 
NOA deposits), and the Gabanintha 
Project (Yagahong deposit). The North 

of NOA7/8 (“NOA 9”) regional target within  
the Burnakura Project was also tested. 
The results have confirmed the continuity  
of gold mineralization within identified 
structures and favorable lithology from 
existing mineral resources.

The Company has also focused on 
opportunities to bring cash flow from 
the Murchison Project, with gold prices 
reaching historical highs, and we are 
actively engaging and negotiating with  
a number of opportunities to develop 
the Murchison Project.  

At Mengapur, we have made very positive  
movement on our mining leases at 
Star destiny and progressed to unblock 
the value at Mengapur. We evaluated and  
undertook a number of opportunities and  
will update the market in due course.  

Looking forwards, 2021 is a critical year 
with the following deliveries:

•  Complete Selinsing Sulphide Project  
  financing, and initiate construction  
•  Complete evaluation and based on  
  such, fund Murchison Gold Project; 
•  Obtain mining leases from Start Destiny  
  and bring solution for Mengapur  
  development; and 
•  Opportunities for corporate growth.   

While the outlook of the Covid-19  
pandemic remains uncertain and  
continues to challenge the financial and  
commercial markets, we work hard and 
are determined to be successful for our 
future. Best wishes for all our shareholders 
and stakeholders for fiscal 2021.  

Sincerely,    

Cathy Zhai 
President & CEO

The gold price has had strong performance this 
year due to increasing investor interest due to  
geopolitical uncertainties, a decrease in interest 
rates around the world, the printing of money on  
a mass scale by world economies as a result of the  
Covid-19 pandemic, and the seeking of investment  
alternatives as many global equity markets trade 
near all-time highs. The continuation of these  
macro conditions into 2021 sets the stage for  
a sustained robust gold price.

Selinsing 
Gold Mine

The Selinsing Gold Mine is 
located in Pahang State, 
Malaysia and includes  
Selinsing Gold property, 
Buffalo Reef property, 
Felda Land, and Famehub 
properties. The Buffalo 
Reef property lies along 
strike to the north of the 
Selinsing Gold property. 
Felda Land and Famehub 
properties are located east 
and north of Selinsing and 
Buffalo Reef properties. 
The one million tonne  
per annum (“tpa”) gold  
processing plant is located  
on the Selinsing site and is 
easily accessible by all of 
its owned properties. 

“ The target at  
  Selinsing is to  
  complete the  
  sulphide plant  
  conversion funding  
  and begin the  
  commencement  
  of construction.”

10

  Gold Production

The Selinsing Gold Mine produced 
17,360 ounces in fiscal 2020 compared 
to 15,763 ounces in the previous year. 
The cash cost was $878 per ounce 
compared to $713 per ounce in the 
previous year. The average head grade 
was 1.11g/t from 0.80g/t in the  
previous fiscal year, and the mill feed 
was 675,708 tonnes from 934,843 
tonnes in the previous year as  
production processed stockpiled super 
low grade oxide ore, old tailing materials 
and ore from production at Selinsing 
Pit 5/6, Peranggih and Buffalo Reef in 
transition toward treating sulphide ore. 
Ore mined was 263,074 tonnes  
compared to 166,940 tonnes for the 
previous fiscal year. Process recovery 
rate was 70.9% compared to 69.5% in 
the previous year.

The Selinsing mine is currently  
transitioning and aims to convert the 
oxide gold treatment plant to a sulphide 
gold treatment plant. The plant upgrade 
described in the January 2019 Feasibil-
ity Study requires $53 million of capital 
and provides a $28 million NPV and 49% 
rate of return at $1,300/oz gold price, 
with approximately 6 years life of mine 
without further ore discovery.

  Exploration

At the Selinsing Gold Mine the exploration  
objective is to define additional mineable  
oxide and leachable transition/fresh ore 
to provide mill feed for the short-term 
to put through the current plant and to 
discover additional sulphide resources 
to boost the economic results of the 
sulphide project and increase the mine 
life for the long-term. The sulphide  
mineralization at Selinsing and Buffalo 
Reef deposits is still open down dip, 
down plunge and along strike. 

2020, under which the bulk sample was 
extracted from the higher mineralized  
area and fed into the Selinsing gold 
processing plant to confirm the average 
grade, quantify the presence of coarse 
gold, and test the metallurgical  
performance at plant scale. 13,047 
tonnes of material was processed at  
a reconciled head grade of 1.17g/t  
with actual recovery of 89.8%. Both 
gravity and leach responses were  
very encouraging.

Peranggih Prospect trial mining was 
carried out from February 22 to March 3 

In May 2020, a GC drilling program 
commenced at Peranggih with a 

planned program of 5,000m total. 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2020 
3,536m were drilled so far and the  
program is expected to be completed  
in first quarter of fiscal 2021.

The Company discovered a 1.8km by 
0.8km gold soil anomaly located 1km 
west of the Peranggih deposit on a 
parallel north west-south east trending 
structure called the Mentique Prospect. 
The general trend of the anomaly  
corresponds well with the major regional  
NNW-SSE structure that hosts gold at 
Selinsing, Buffalo Reef and Peranggih.

  Development

The Selinsing Gold Mine continues  
to mine oxide and transition ore as 
preparations have been underway for 
the transition from oxide gold production  
to sulphide gold production and to 
convert the current plant to one with a 
sulphide treatment circuit once funding 
is in place. 

cash flow after tax of $97.00 million 
from operations, or $45.00 million net  
of capital expenditure. With the gold 
price now higher than $1,900 per ounce, 
the Feasibility Study economics is 
much better and provides a strong  
commodities price environment to 
obtain project financing.

The Feasibility Study for the Selinsing 
Gold Sulphide Project was released in 
February 2019 and describes adding 
flotation and BIOX® processes to the 
current Selinsing Gold Processing Plant 
to treat sulphide ore. An execution plan 
is in place to start up construction of 
the Selinsing Gold plant upgrade, and 
the sulphide project team continues to 
optimize operating and capital costs 
estimates.  

The Feasibility Study with its six-year 
life of mine has a net present value of 
$27.56 million based on reported oxide 
and sulphide ore reserves (March 2018). 
The feasibility study shows that over 
the life of mine, a total of 5.7 million 
tonnes of ore would be treated at an 
average grade of 1.45g/t for 223koz at a 
cost of $863.67 per ounce. With a gold 
price of $1,300 per ounce, the Selinsing 
Gold Mine Project would generate net 

The Study also revealed the opportunity  
to include Inferred Resources. The 
Inferred Mineral Resource inside the 
Reserve open pit designs potentially 
contains an additional 20 koz of gold. 
The Inferred Mineral Resource external 
to the open pit design contains 130 koz 
of gold. Future exploration programs 
may be initiated to target the conversion  
of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated  
Mineral Resources.

During the year groundwork was ongoing  
for Sulphide Gold Production including 
bioleaching test training exercises for 
metallurgists and technicians to better 
understand how the bioleach process 
works and learn the essential parameters  
to be monitored. The proposed pilot 
plant equipment specifications were 
prepared for use as the BIOX® test 
facility, including the crusher, ball mill, 
pumps, cyclone, rougher and cleaner  

flotation cells, reagent mixing and  
dosing pumps. An underground  
desktop study was also carried out 
internally, which indicating potential  
in the Selinsing area.

Construction to raise the tailing  
storage facility (“TSF”) was completed 
in September 2019 to an elevation of 
533.3 mRL to increase TSF capacity  
for fiscal 2020 production. Construction 
activities have started for the second 
stage TSF lift to 535.5 mRL to meet 
2021 production requirements.

Testwork and metallurgical drilling  
was completed to investigate the  
possibility of treating the non-leachable  
material using CIL, additional lead nitrate  
and flotation methods. The objective of 
this work is to provide representative  
samples of the remaining ore at Selinsing  
and Buffalo Reef as well as deliver 
options for continued economic gold 
production at Selinsing. With actual 
recoveries reaching up to 77.5% the 
Company is continuing to monitor  
actual results and testwork results,  
including the feasibility to support  
mining longer term.

Murchison 
Gold Project

The Murchison Gold  
Project consists of the  
Burnakura, Gabanintha and  
Tuckanarra gold properties,  
which are all located  
within the Murchison  
Mineral Field, which is a 
highly prospective historical  
gold province within the 
Murchison District of  
Western Australia. At the  
Burnakura site there is  
a fully operational gold  
processing plant, a newly 
developed mine camp, and 
all necessary infrastructures. 

“ Near mine down- 
  plunge targets and  
  regional exploration  
  at Murchison is  
  aiming for additional   
  mineral reserves  
  and resources to  
  increase the project’s  
  commercial value.”

14

The Murchison properties include a number of open  
pit and underground opportunities with current and  
historical resources that are prospective for resource  
extension and regional exploration potential. The  
Company has been methodically working to convert  
the historical resources into current resources under 
NI43-101 standards and to potentially discover new  
resources to increase the current resources to improve 
the economics for a gold production operation.

  Development

The objective for Murchison in fiscal 
2020 was to identify and drill new  
exploration targets with a goal to  
increase gold inventories. During the 
year, Monument completed a 3D  
Structural Geological Study at the 
Murchison Gold Project as part of the 
development strategy. With the major 
exploration potential being down deep 
of the historical multiple open pits and 
surrounding areas, the 3D structural  
geological study was initiated to support  
the deep drilling target generation for 
the drilling program. The 3D structural  
study comprises of a 3D survey, data 
analysis and 3D modeling. A regional 
targeting study for new discoveries  

was also undertaken using existing 
gravity, magnetic and electromagnetic 
data enhancement. Specialized filtering  
techniques were used to identify untested  
structures in favorable settings. 

The 3D Structural Study defined new 
high grade down-plunge targets at both 
Burnakura and Gabanintha, and existing 
down-plunge targets were refined by pit 
mapping and 3D structural analysis.  
Advanced geophysical filtering of gravity,  
magnetic and electromagnetic data 
was undertaken and clearly illustrates 
some of the key structures controlling 
the location of gold mineralization at the 
camp to district scale. The potential of

  Exploration

In the third quarter of fiscal 2020 a  
drilling exploration program began  
focusing at the Burnakura and Gabanintha  
areas to test these near mine down-
plunge extensions where there are high  
quality near mine targets that have good  
potential to be mined underground. 
Mineralization down dip from the  
historically mined Alliance, New Alliance 
and Yagahong open pits were drill tested.  
In addition, the NOA 9 regional target 
was tested as part of Monument’s 
regional strategy. A total of 3,864m was 
drilled, consisting of 397m of diamond 
drilling, 2,864m of reverse circulation 
drilling and 603m of AC drilling. 

The program successfully tested down 
plunge targets at Alliance, New Alliance, 

NOA1 and NOA 2 deposits at Burnakura.  
The continuity of structures and favorable  
lithology from existing resources was  
also confirmed. At Gabanintha the drilling  
successfully extended the known  
mineralized structure a further 300m 
down plunge from the existing high 
grade drilled area at Yagahong. Drilling  
at Yagahong also confirmed the 
continuity of the shallowly north-west 
plunging structure. In addition, there 
were several strong copper intercepts  
at Yagahong. Follow up drill programs 
will be planned to target and extend 
some of the encouraging mineralization 
and structures intercepted discovered  
in this program.

  Development

Mengapur was acquired in 2012 and 
is 100% owned by Monument. To date 
there has been 112,000m total drilled 
at Mengapur which includes 53,000m 
by Monument to confirm historical re-
sources, and 59,000m of historical drill-
ing. The project has been drilled using 
mostly diamond core drilling down to a 
nominal spacing of approximately 40m 
by 40m in a significant portion of the 
project area. Metallurgical testwork was 

carried out to study downstream prod-
ucts. Site infrastructure work included: 
pilot processing plant upgrade, camp 
development, and on-site laboratories. 

The Mengapur geological and resource 
modelling work resulted in a NI43-101 
Mineral Resource Estimation Technical 
Report announced in October 2019. 
The Mineral Resource estimate incor-
porated the 112,000m of drilling and 

together with the metallurgical testwork 
in progress, will provide a foundation to 
further assess economics.    

With the rise in copper and iron ore 
prices in 2020, the Company intends to 
carry out follow-up work to assess the 
opportunity for copper/magnetite iron 
materials production, and is seeking a 
partner for funding Mengapur projects 
large scale copper development.

  Mineral Resources

Table 1 presents the August 2018 
Mineral Resource estimate for the 
Mengapur project, reported above a 
0.3% Cu cut-off grade. To establish  
the requirement for the grade, 
quantity and quality of the body of 
mineralization to have reasonable 
prospects of eventual economic 
extraction, a cut-off grade of 0.3% 
Cu represents an assumption of  
an open-pit mining approach with 
limited selectivity and is based on 
values used at other similar deposits,  
along with consideration of the  
continuity above the cut-off grade. 

A sensitivity analysis reflecting  
a possible selective approach to  
eventual economic extraction at  
higher cut-off grade of 0.5% is in  
table two.

1 Small discrepancies may occur due to 
rounding. 2 All Mineral Resources have been 
reported on a dry tonnage basis. 3 Snowden 
is unaware of any issues that materially 
affect the Mineral Resources in a detrimental 
sense. 4 Mineral Resources that are not 
Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated 
economic viability. 5 Mineral Resources 
estimated by John Graindorge (Principal 
Consultant, Snowden), QP.  6 The majority of 
the interpreted mineralization is within 200 
m of the surface and as such considered by 
Snowden to be within the limits of extraction 
by open-pit mining.

 Social Responsibility

In fiscal 2020, the global Covid-19  
pandemic situation caused an  
interruption to the mining operations  
at Selinsing in Malaysia. The Selinsing  
site operation complied with the  
government’s Movement Control  
Order (“MCO”) to stop operation for  
six weeks starting from March 18th 
2020, and recommencing operation 
at site starting May 4th 2020, when  
the Malaysian government introduced  
the Conditional Movement Control 
Order (“CMCO”) that allows the mining 
sector to resume operation. During the 
six week MCO period, the Company  
provided assistance to all company  
employees and facilitated arrangements  
for people to work from home. The 
Company retained the majority of 
employees and provided basic pay for 
some of the workers even though many 
were not working during this period. 

Upon recommencement of the site  
activities, ongoing support and care were  
given to all employees to allow them to 
return to work safely. Company-wide 
standard operating procedures were 
introduced to protect employee health 
and safety and also the sustainability 
of the operations. New precautions for 
preventing Covid-19 transmission were 
introduced including: social distancing, 
daily temperature screening, contact 
tracing for any visitors, and wearing a 
face mask when social distancing is  
not possible. Employee personal and 
work site hygiene has been emphasized,  
such as hand washing and regular  
sanitization of the workplace, canteen, 
and living quarters. A Covid-19 pandemic  
committee team was established from 
the onset of the outbreak to develop, 
monitor, and imposing the new standard  
operating procedures in line with the 
national compliance introduce by the 
Malaysian Health Ministry and to date 
had successfully mitigated the impact 
of the pandemic with zero cases recorded  
among the mining workforce.

Monument Mining recognizes its socio- 
economic responsibility to the community  
to fight the Covid-19 pandemic and 
assistance was given to the local front 
line workers that include donations of 
critical items such as face masks that 
were in short supply at the beginning of 

20

the pandemic and direct contributions 
to the surrounding community that is 
badly affected by the pandemic.

The Covid-19 Pandemic does not  
hinder the Company from carrying 
out sustainable project development 
and protecting the environment. The 
environmental monitoring programs 
continue to be conducted during the 
movement control order and beyond. 
This includes: water, TSF seepage, 
ambient air, air emission from stack, 
noise, and vibration guided by sampling 
frequency approved by the Mineral 
and Geosciences Department and the 
Department of Environment Malaysia. 
Progressive rehabilitation was carried 
out with the planting of several hundred 
tree at the nursery and waste dump 
slope. The sustain rainfall during the 
year, assisted the plant growth whiles 

the erosion control infrastructure such 
as sedimentation pond and drainage  
are also working effectively and regularly 
 maintained. Our company-wide policy 
on environmental management and 
practice ensures minimal environmental 
impact throughout the mining cycle.

Although  the  Company  has  attempted  to 
identify  important  factors  that  could  cause 
actual results to differ materially from those 
contained  in  forward-looking  statements, 
there  may  be  other  factors  that  cause  re-
sults not to be as anticipated, estimated or 
intended. Should one or more of these risks 
and uncertainties materialize, or should un-
derlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual 
results  may  vary  materially  from  those  de-
scribed in forward-looking statements. There 
can be no assurance that such statements 
will  prove  to  be  accurate,  as  actual  results 
and  future  events  could  differ  materially 
from those anticipated in such statements. 
Accordingly, readers should not place undue 
reliance on forward-looking statements. The 
Company does not undertake to update any 
forward-looking  statements,  except  in  ac-
cordance with applicable securities laws.
