Newcrest Proposal

On May 4, LGL announced it had entered into a Merger Implementation Agreement with Newcrest Mining Ltd, under which Newcrest would acquire all of LGL’s ordinary shares through a Scheme of Arrangement.

Under the proposal, LGL shareholders will receive one Newcrest share for every 8.43 LGL shares they own, plus A$0.225 cash per share.

The terms of the proposed merger are attractive for LGL shareholders and the combination with Newcrest will create a major, global gold company with a diversified portfolio of high quality operations.

LGL Directors unanimously recommend that LGL Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal.

The Scheme booklet for the proposed merger of Lihir Gold Ltd with Newcrest Mining Ltd was released last week.

The booklet includes an independent expert’s report, prepared by Grant Samuel and Associates, which concludes that the proposed Scheme of Arrangement is in the best interests of LGL Shareholders, in the absence of a superior proposal.

Shareholders are scheduled to vote on the proposed Scheme on August 23. If approved, the Scheme is expected to be completed on September 13.

Outlook

LGL remains on track to produce between 1-1.1 million ounces of gold in the full year 2010. This will include production of 800,000-870,000 oz from Lihir Island, approximately 100,000-110,000 oz from Bonikro and 90,000-100,000 oz from Mt Rawdon.

Total cash costs for the year are forecast to be below $450/oz, with total cash costs at Lihir Island to be below $420/oz. Total cash costs at Mt Rawdon and at Bonikro are forecast to be between $550-$575/oz.

The second quarter of 2010 was a solid quarter for the company, with production on track to meet full year guidance, and good progress achieved in the development of the expansion projects at Lihir Island and in Côte d’lvoire. The company is well placed to complete its merger with Newcrest, creating a strong and vibrant new gold major with a first-class portfolio of producing mines and an exciting growth profile. The combined company has an excellent future and promises to deliver strong returns to shareholders.

I thank the LGL staff for their dedication and hard work over recent months, and am grateful to shareholders for their support.

LIHIR ISLAND

Mining

Material movements totalled 12.5 million tonnes, which was up 19% on the prior quarter due to improved operation of the mining fleet, with higher availability of drills and shovels and enhanced shovel dig rates. A new RH200 shovel was commissioned in the quarter, maintaining the total fleet at 5 shovels.

The proportion of high grade ore mined increased in line with plan during the quarter as development of the current phase of the pit reached the higher grade zones of the ore body.

Overall material movements for 2010 are expected to be close to 50 million tonnes, with increases in the remainder of the year due to improved blast fragmentation and commissioning of new mining equipment.

Processing

Mill throughputs were well above budget, at 1.6 million tonnes, with the scheduled 40 day rebrick of one autoclave successfully completed in 37 days. Additional oxygen available due to the shutdown was redeployed in the remaining two autoclaves, helping to lift throughput rates to record levels of 235 tonnes per autoclave per operating hour during the quarter.

Gold grade into the autoclaves rose significantly to 5.8g/t, due to increased grade of ore from the pit, as forecast.

Recovery rates increased as lower throughput tonnages allowed increased residence time in the leach circuit.

In the current quarter, autoclave throughputs will reduce slightly due to higher sulphur grades, and as two autoclaves will each undergo 10 day shutdowns for maintenance inspections. Gold grade, however, is expected to increase beyond 6g/t for the remainder of the year.

Lihir Island Expansion and Interim Power Station project

The expansion project to lift Lihir Island process plant capacity to more than 1 million ounces of gold per year proceeded according to plan. The project remains on time and on budget.

Significant civil construction progress has been made on site. Four new leach tanks have been installed, with the remaining four due to be in place in August. The oxygen plant cold box and heat exchanger have been erected, and the autoclave is being shipped to site for installation in August.

Construction of the barge mounted Interim Power Station continued in Thailand and is now approximately 50% complete. The facility is on schedule for delivery in April 2011.

Second Quarter Production Report 2010 Page 5 of 32

LIHIR ISLAND continued

Exploration

The resource upgrade drilling program at Lihir Island continued during the quarter, with 14 holes drilled for 4400 metres. A total of 21 holes have been drilled in the year to date, for almost 7000 metres. The program is aimed at confirming the known mineralization at Lihir Island and extending the mineralized zone to the east. Results to date have been encouraging, with the drilling program expected to lead to an update to the stated resource in 2011.

The cost of the program to date is $4.2 million, with a full year budget of close to $10 million.

MT RAWDON

Mt Rawdon produced 24,500 ounces in the quarter, which was up 7% from the March quarter and well above plan due to higher than expected mill throughput, grade and recovery.

The focus of operations during the quarter was to progress the next major cutback, while maintaining supply of higher grade ore to the mill from mining operations in the base of the pit. Material movements were above the prior quarter, but slightly below plan due to underperformance of earthmoving equipment and difficult, tight mining conditions at the base of the pit.

Plant throughputs increased 16% following a major maintenance shutdown in the first quarter.

BONIKRO

The Bonikro operation in Côte d’lvoire produced 22,500 ounces which was lower than the prior quarter and below plan due to unusually high rainfall and mechanical failure in the mining fleet. This meant that material movements were below plan, leading to lack of ore supply to the mill, and reliance on low grade stockpiled ore.

Two new trucks have now been purchased, taking the truck fleet to 13, and an additional excavator is being procured for mobilisation at site in the first quarter of 2011. This equipment also will be available for utilisation in the Hiré expansion in due course.

Mill throughputs are expected to improve over the remainder of the year following adjustments to process plant grates and fine tuning of plant settings.

CÔTE D’IVOIRE EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT

Bonikro and Hiré Exploration

During the quarter, at Bonikro, focus continued towards completion of an extensive drilling program testing below the existing pit shell, designed to convert approximately 300,000 ounces of gold, currently defined as inferred resource, into indicated status. This drilling data will underpin the on-going Bonikro expansion feasibility program and is intended to facilitate re-statement of resources and reserves. As at end of quarter, the program was approaching completion.

Highlights returned during the quarter from Bonikro Deeps include results such as:

5m @ 21.81g/t Au (BRRD022: 56m – 61m)

8.86m @ 5.46g/t Au (BRRD028: 273.14m – 282m)

18m @ 5.33g/t Au (BRRD029: 139m – 157m)

10.43m @ 13.52g/t Au (BRRD087: 154.57m – 165m)

26m @ 2.93g/t Au (BRRD097: 58m – 84m)

At Hiré, 10 kilometres from Bonikro, a similarly extensive resource infill drilling program was successfully completed during the quarter. This has focused on increasing resource confidence, as part of the larger Bonikro mine expansion feasibility program. In addition, the program completed sterilisation drilling to allow for infrastructure planning.

Highlights returned during the quarter from Hiré include results such as:

12m @ 3.44g/t Au (BRD2101: 10m – 22m)

9m @ 7.16g/t Au (HRC2257:137m – 146m)

19m @ 5.06g/t Au (HRC2070: 64m – 83m)

16m @ 6.91g/t Au (HRC2074: 80m – 96m)

23m @ 4.01g/t Au (HRC2082: 0m – 23m)

26m @ 4.65g/t Au (HRC2084: 21m – 47m)

6m @ 7.27g/t Au (HRC2087: 0m – 6m)

27m @ 5.70g/t Au (HRC2093: 30m – 57m)

18m @ 3.98g/t Au (HRC2246:47m – 65m)

10m @26.64g/t Au (HRC2266: 33m – 43m)

9m @ 17.25g/t Au (HRC2372:165m – 174m)

22m @ 6.47g/t Au (HRC2149: 48m – 70m)

18m @ 3.14g/t Au (HRC2428: 18m – 36m)

10m @ 9.74g/t Au (HRD2429: 40m – 50m)

25m @ 4.82g/t Au (HRD499: 43m – 68m)

The feasibility study is considering the potential expansion of the Bonikro plant from 2 million tonnes per annum to 3.5 million tonnes per annum through the installation of additional milling capacity. This would increase potential annual gold production at Bonikro to 200-250,000 ounces.

BONIKRO NEAR MINE EXPLORATION

Having largely completed a review of the exploration potential in the area near the Bonikro mine, a number of outstanding and new areas of interest have been defined. The Oumé area remains a high priority for further review and assessment of the potential to deliver mineable resources and reserves, with further exploration work due to commence early in the second half of 2010. Work is progressing to achieve granted status of the Kokoumbo tenement, adjacent to and immediately to the north of the Bonikro mine. The Kokoumbo tenement includes what is believed to be the largest area of historic gold workings in Côte d’lvoire.

Second Quarter Production Report 2010 Page 7 of 32

CÔTE D’IVOIRE REGIONAL EXPLORATION

The Company currently holds approximately 18,000 square kilometres of tenements, either granted or under application. During the first half of 2010 an extensive review process was undertaken while available resources were focussed on resource drilling at Bonikro and Hiré.

This has increased confidence in the overall prospectivity within the tenement package and provided improved understanding of the exploration targets to enable improved prioritisation, based on a well defined, business driven and staged approach. An aggressive exploration program has been developed, for a revised to year end forecast of $16 million which has takes advantage of increased operational efficiencies and the introduction of new technologies and improved methodologies.

An early focus of the program will be at the Blaffo-Guetto prospect within the Didievi project, designed to test the extent of previously reported economic grade mineralisation. Further geological work and alteration mapping has increased confidence in the target area.

Other priority project areas include the Timbé-Brobo group, located in the northern extension of the same greenstone belt which hosts Bonikro and where efforts will concentrate on follow up of significant early phase RAB and RC drilling results and significant geochemical anomalies.

At Bouaflé, and other projects where geochemical anomalies have been identified, targets are being defined for early drill testing. At more advanced projects such as Tehini West, Mankono and other projects where sufficient early stage work has been completed, drill testing is planned.

Second Quarter Production Report 2010 Page 9 of 32

Total cash costs for the group reduced by 11% to $461/oz for the quarter, benefiting from increased production compared with the first quarter. Unit costs were below budget and on track to achieve full year guidance of less than $450/oz. In absolute terms, total cash costs for the group decreased 5% to $112 million for the quarter, following on from a 5% reduction in the first quarter.

At Lihir Island, unit total cash costs reduced by some $70/oz to $439/oz, and absolute total cash costs fell 6% to $86 million. Gross cash costs, prior to cost deferrals, reduced slightly in unit terms, but increased 7% to $118 million in absolute terms. This was mainly due to higher levels of production in the quarter. Mining costs increased due to higher material movements, increased diesel prices and additional mining fleet maintenance costs.

At Mt Rawdon, total cash costs reduced by 14% to $494/oz, benefiting from higher production levels. Absolute total cash costs fell 7% to $12.1 million, due to increases in deferred costs, but gross cash costs were constant, quarter on quarter

At Bonikro, unit total cash costs increased 22% to $615/oz, which was higher than plan due to lower than expected production in the quarter. Unit gross cash costs, however, increased by just 2% to $721/oz, and in absolute terms, gross cash costs fell by 14% to $16.4 million in the quarter. This was mainly due to lower material movements. Absolute total cash costs increased by 3% to $13.8 million due to reductions in cost deferrals. Reductions in full year production expectations at Bonikro have led to an increase in anticipated unit costs, which are now forecast to be between $550-$575/oz for the full year.

Forward Looking Statements

This document may contain certain forward-looking statements, including but not limited to (i) estimated reserves, (ii) anticipated production profiles and characteristics, (iii) expected capital requirements, (iv) forecast cost profiles or (iv) plans, strategies and objectives of management. Such forward looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Lihir Gold Limited (“LGL”), which may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in this announcement. Important factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from the forward looking statements in this presentation include but are not limited to the market price of gold, anticipated ore grades, tonnage, recovery rates, production and equipment operating costs, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on cost inputs and the activities of governmental authorities in Papua New Guinea and elsewhere, as set forth more fully under the caption “Risk Factors” in LGL’s most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, which has been filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Gold reserve and resource estimates are expressions of judgement based on knowledge, experience and industry practice, and may require revision based on actual production experience. Such estimates are necessarily imprecise and depend to some extent on statistical inferences and other assumptions, such as gold prices, cut-off grades and operating costs, which may prove to be inaccurate. LGL’s wholly owned subsidiary LGL Ballarat Operations Pty Ltd does not have any ore reserves and the level of its estimated mineral resources and exploration potential are necessarily imprecise and may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the indicated amount of gold will be recovered or at the rates estimated.

LGL can therefore give no assurances that any of the estimates, production profiles, capital, cost profiles and plans will not materially differ from the statements contained in this release and their inclusion in this document should not be regarded as a representation by any person that they will be achieved.

The foregoing material is a presentation of general background information about LGL’s activities as of the date of the presentation. It is information given in a summary form and does not purport to be complete. It is not intended to be relied upon as advice to investors or potential investors and does not take into account the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular investor. These should be considered, with or without professional advice when deciding if an investment is appropriate.

Some of the information contained in this document includes certain un-audited non-GAAP (where GAAP means “generally accepted accounting principles”) measures, such as “cash costs”. Such unaudited non-GAAP measures are intended to provide information about the cash generating capacity and performance of LGL’s mining operations. In particular, cash costs is a measure that is used in the gold mining industry and was developed in conjunction with gold mining companies associated with the Gold Institute in an effort to provide a level of comparability. However, LGL’s measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management uses this measure for the same purpose when monitoring and evaluating the performance of LGL. This information differs from measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance determined in accordance with GAAP.

Note to U.S. Investors

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors — The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits U.S. mining companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only those mineral deposits that a company can economically and legally extract or produce. LGL uses certain terms on this website, such as “measured,” “indicated,” and “inferred” “resources,” which the SEC guidelines strictly prohibit U.S. registered companies from including in their filings with the SEC. U.S. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in LGL’s most recent Form 20-F, which may be secured from LGL, or from the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml.
