Xxxx,

LGL does not understand how this latest pricing has come about.

There seems to be an issue with currency exchange rates, and given that the last quote submitted by W.E.Xxxxx Engineering was on the 29^th September, there has only been 11 days since last quote, for your pricing to change.

Please provide further clarity and transparency on the fixed pricing by 10am (Qld time) Friday 10^th October, 2008. Please also submit all other outstanding items by this time.

In reference to your mail regarding fixed pricing & in order to enable LGL to make an award decision prior to close of business Friday 10th October, 2008. we offer the following fixed pricing.


WES Portion		US$
KNM Portion		US$
Spare Parts		US$

It is noted that all other pre-negotiated clarifications will remain unchanged.

Further to the above it should be noted that given the current market we have had to re-confirm materials pricing, even though we have had reductions in exchange rate variation we have experienced material price increases. We have absorbed some of these increases to effectively maintain the same WES portion. This has resulted in a minor reduction to the overall price.

I hope the above is of assistance, Should you require any further detail or clarification please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime.

Subject:		RE: MOPU- 1003-L Autoclve supply — Insurances

Xxxx,

Thanks for your e-mail. In reference to your queries we respond as follows.

•

LGL notes that WE Smiths insurance policies are limited to the “design and manufacture of heat exchangers”. Please advise how this would affect this package of work, given that it is for the supply of an Autoclave, or pressure vessel?

XXX Response

We have checked with our broker & confirm that all equipment including pressure vessels are covered in our policy. Therefore, the Autoclave is covered in our insurance policy.

•

LGL also notes that the insurance policies do not include any provisions for “Principals” interest. Please advise if policies can be amended to include the interests of the “Principal”?

XXX Response

We have contacted our broker regarding coverage for “Principals Interest”. At this stage our policy does not include however we have requested what options there are to have this included in our policy. We are currently expediting a response & shall advise on receipt.

I hope the above is of assistance, should you require any further detail or clarification please do not hesitate to contact me at anytime.

In particular:

	•		Information shall be collated in the identified formats to facilitate ready incorporation into other project databases.

	•		Each document shall be cross referenced against all relevant equipment items to enable database searching by equipment number.

	•		All pdf documents of greater than 10 pages length shall include interactive bookmarks to allow ready navigation to each item in the document table of contents.

9 CORRESPONDENCE

9.1 GENERAL

For ease and currency of communication, project correspondence will be handled by email wherever possible. Without exception, every email shall be structured as follows:

	•		The email shall be addressed to both the project email address (‘MOPU@lglgold.com’) and the intended recipient of the email.

	•		The caption in the email subject line shall be of the form AAAA-BBBB-C-DDD-EEEE, where AAAA is the Project ID Code, BBBB is the relevant four character work package number (eg Contract Number or Purchase Order number), C is single character code identifying the email originator (as

Page 6 of 14

identified below), DDD is a sequential correspondence counter for the particular Contract, and EEEE is a descriptive title (of as many characters as required) to clearly identify and distinguish the email subject.

9.2 FORMAL TRANSMITTAL OF INFORMATION

Consultants / Vendors shall ensure that all formal transmittal of drawings and documentation to LGL, whether by email, disk or hardcopy, is accompanied by an electronic transmittal form in Microsoft EXCEL that identifies the following:

	•		A sequential transmittal number.

	•		The electronic filename and a description of each drawing / document being transmitted. Suitable descriptions would include the last two lines of a drawing titleblock or a brief summation of document purpose or content.

Any covering email shall also include the word ‘Transmittal’ in the descriptive title component of the subject line.

The purpose of these requirements is to enable ready collation of information from varied sources into a comprehensive project database. Transfers of drawings and documentation which do not meet these criteria will be treated as issue for information purposes only and the relevant drawings / documents will not be registered in the project database.

In the absence of any other agreed format for the transmittal form, the Standard LGL Transmittal (Specification A008) shall be utilised.

10 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

All design and construction shall comply with the relevant standard specifications listed in Appendix C.

11 SURVEY DATUMS

Unless otherwise indicated all coordinate and level information for the MOPU upgrade project shall be based on the “Lihir Grid” which is a plane coordinate system in metres aligned on AMG North. The site position datum is PSM 12340 “UNIFORM 8” with the following characteristics:


	Coordinates and		AMG Coordinates
Parameter	RL to “Lihir Grid”		and RL
Easting		11 843.12		461 842.3
Northing		5 030.31		9 655 030.1
RL		18.50		18.60

The “Lihir Grid” bearing is AMG plane bearing at PSM12340.

It is to be noted that the site also uses a second level datum for the mine pit and general topographical survey. This mine datum is based on a level at PSM 12340 of RL1018.50 and conversion to the project level datum entails subtraction of 1000.000m. Certain survey / reference information provided to Consultants and

Page 7 of 14

Vendors may reflect the mine datum and should be converted to the project datum as required to support design and construction.

12 COMMUNITY PROVISIONS

Continued engagement of the local community will be critical to the success of the upgrade project and all engineering design and construction shall be consistent with the intentions of the project Community Engagement Strategy and Contracting Plan. In particular, design and construction planning shall aim to maximise opportunities for local contracting or labour hire services wherever it is possible to do so without compromising other principles of cost effectiveness, scheduling, quality, and ooccupational health and safety. The key capacities by which the local community could support the project include:

	•		General earthworks and drainage construction.

	•		Construction of culverts, gabions and other site works.

	•		Bending of rebar for concrete works.

	•		General concrete construction for minor slabs and footings.

	•		Supply of pre-cast concrete units.

	•		Prefabrication of pipe spools.

	•		Construction of buried piping.

13 SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY

Soil / soil pore water can be relatively aggressive in some parts of the site as a consequence of the volcanic origins of most materials. Unless specific soil test information is available for the immediate footprint of the works, the following worst-case soil geo-chemistry shall be assumed for design purposes:

	•		pH 5.4

	•		Chloride concentration of 50-60 mg/kg Cl

	•		Sulphate concentration of 200 mg/kg SO4

14 EARTHWORKS DESIGN CONSTRAINTS

14.1 SOURCING OF BORROW MATERIAL

An existing basalt quarry operated by a local cooperative is located adjacent to the Londolovit Weir (approx 10km one-way haul from process plant site). Development of additional hard-rock quarries is likely be problematic from a community relations perspective and it is envisaged that the supply of concrete aggregate and crushed rock will be limited to the output of the existing quarry and crushing plant..

Similarly, limestone / coronus material for filling of building pads and capping of working areas will have to be sourced from existing road works borrow pits in the NE of the island (approx 20km one-way haul) or proposed borrow pits along the Wurtol pipeline route (approx 10km one-way haul). Readily accessible coronus reserves are limited in quantity, and are also in heavy demand for other mine maintenance and community projects.

Given the constraints on material availability and potential issues associated with

Page 8 of 14

heavy truck traffic along local roads, a design that minimises the required extent of material import will be preferable.

14.2 DISPOSAL OF EXCAVATED SPOIL

Flat land on Lihir Island is at a very high premium and there are few sites for ready disposal of excavated spoil — especially poor quality material. As a consequence the earthworks design should attempt to minimise the extent of excavation wherever practical.

15 ECONOMIC COMPARISONS

Where economic comparisons are required to evaluate different options, they shall comprise assessment of net present cost (NPC) based on the following:

	•		Nominal 25 year life;

	•		7.5% discount rate;

	•		US$0.13/kWh marginal power cost;

	•		Robust evaluation of differential equipment availability and utilisation;

	•		Robust evaluation of differential maintenance costs.
