HIGHLIGHTS:

• 2024 exploration efforts at the Koné project are focused on both delineating higher grade satellite targets, with the goal of supplementing production from the commencement of operations, and identifying new targets
• A first drill campaign, totalling 30,170m, was completed at the end of July 2024
  • Mineralisation has now been confirmed at all 14 targets drilled since the start of the year
  • 52 exploration targets now identified on the property, an increase from the 35 targets reported in July 2024
• Drill results confirm potential to rapidly delineate maiden resources across several targets:
  • Gbongogo deposit: Southern mineralised extension was confirmed, with results including 9m at 5.01 g/t Au, 13m at 1.53 g/t Au and 9m at 1.75 g/t Au
  • ANV target: Confirmation of 1km long mineralised trend, with results including 51m at 2.00 g/t Au (incl. 1m at 18.86 g/t Au), 13m at 4.00 g/t Au (incl. 1m at 13.65 g/t Au), 17m at 1.86 g/t Au and 23m at 2.30 g/t Au (incl. 1m at 12.02g/t Au)
  • Lokolo Main target: High grade mineralisation confirmed with results including 5m at 2.70 g/t Au, 8m at 5.56 g/t Au (incl. 2m at 35.13 g/t Au) and 11m at 6.28 g/t Au
  • Diouma North target: High grade mineralisation confirmed with results including 22m at 2.9 g/t Au and 8m at 8.46 g/t Au (incl. 1m at 25.65 g/t Au and 1m at 28.58 g/t Au)
• A second 60,000m drill programme was launched in September 2024 with the goal of delineating resources by year-end at several targets, in addition to further drill testing of other targets
• Targeting the discovery of more than 1Moz of M&I resources, at a grade 50% higher than the Koné deposit, to be achieved before the commencement of production
