* Represents cash received and operating costs paid in relation to prior quarter activities under the minegate DSO Sale Agreement with Atlas Iron.

** Includes Stage 1 pre-production commissioning and ramp costs, and costs associated with the development and construction of both Stage 1 and Stage 2 of the Pilgangoora Project. At 31 December 2018 the Pilgangoora Project remained in commissioning and ramp-up phase and had not yet achieved commercial production. Prior to the declaration of commercial production, all commissioning and pre-production ramp-up costs incurred at the Pilgangoora Project (net of revenue derived from the sale of spodumene concentrate) are capitalised against project development costs. Similarly, cash flows associated with commissioning and pre-production ramp-up activities are classified as cash flows from investing activities until such time as commercial production is declared.
