G Mining Ventures Delivers Robust Feasibility Study For High-Grade Oko West Gold Project in Guyana
The FS confirms robust economics for a low-cost, large-scale, conventional open pit (" OP") and underground (" UG") mining and milling operation, with industry-leading operating costs and high rate of return. The Study outlines total gold production of 4.3 million gold ounces (" Au oz") over 12.3 years, resulting in an average annual gold production profile of 350,000 ounces with an All-In-Sustaining Cost (" AISC") per ounce of $1,123. The Project after-tax net present value (" NPV") (5% discount rate) is $2.2 billion with an after-tax internal rate of return (" IRR") of 27% at a gold price of $2,500 per ounce.
Final environmental permits are expected in Q2-25, with a targeted construction decision in H2-25. The Project is ideally sequenced to leverage the strong macroeconomic conditions including a strong gold price, lower inflation, and Guyana's rapidly developing economy.
" The Oko West Feasibility Study marks a major milestone in realizing the value of what we consider one of the world's most exciting undeveloped gold projects. It confirms a long-life, high-margin operation with strong economics, supported by a proven resource and solid infrastructure," commented Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & Chief Executive Officer. " With Tocantinzinho nearing nameplate capacity and generating meaningful free cash flow, GMIN is well positioned to advance Oko West using the same experienced team and disciplined execution that delivered our first mine ahead of schedule and on budget. We remain committed to responsible development and look forward to deepening our partnership with the Government of Guyana and local communities as we advance Oko West as our second cornerstone asset."

FS Summary
The Corporation retained G Mining Services Inc. (" GMS") as lead consultants, along with other engineering consultants, to complete the Study and prepare a technical report in compliance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (" NI 43-101").
The Study is derived using the Corporation's mineral resource estimate effective as at September 15, 2024 (the " MRE"). The effective date of the FS is April 28, 2025, and a NI 43-101 compliant technical report will be filed on the Corporation's website and under its SEDAR+ profile within 45 days of this news release.
Property Description, Location and Access
Guyana is a mining friendly country with active gold and bauxite mines. Oko West is an advanced-stage gold development project, which straddles the Cuyuni-Mazaruni Mining Districts (administrative Region 7) in north central Guyana, South America. The Project is located approximately 120 kilometres ("km") southwest of Georgetown, the capital city of Guyana and approximately 50 km west of Bartica, the capital city of Region 7 (Figure 2). Bartica is a small town with approximately 17,000 people and is known as the gateway to the country's interior and its gold mining regions.
The Project can be accessed via numerous methods: helicopter direct from Ogle airport to the site, fixed-wing plane from Ogle airport to Bartica airstrip, by car and then speedboat, or by four-wheel drive vehicle. An air strip on site will be built to service the Project. From the town of Itaballi at the confluence of the Cuyuni and Mazaruni rivers, one can use the Puruni or the Aremu laterite roads, using four-wheel drive vehicles. Bartica is accessible by a 20-minute direct flight from the Ogle airport in Georgetown or by road and boat from Parika on the Essequibo River. There are regular boat services between Bartica and Parika.
The climate is equatorial and humid. The Project operated throughout the year without any interruptions related to the weather. The total surface area of the property is 71 km 2.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
Indicated mineral resources total 80.3 million tonnes ("Mt") at an average gold grade of 2.10 grams per tonne ("g/t Au") for 5.4 million contained ounces of gold ("Moz Au"). Gold contained in the indicated category represents 93% of the global resource. Inferred resources total 5.1 Mt at an average gold grade of 2.36 g/t Au, for 0.4 Moz Au.
The MRE considers 544 diamond drill holes (including 39 wedged holes), 366 reverse circulation holes, and 59 trenches completed between December 2020 and September 2024. A total of 45,700m has been drilled since the PEA for conversion of inferred mineral resources.
Approximately 90% of the inferred resources have been converted into indicated resources within the pit and about 70% of the underground inferred mineral resources. The remaining underground material will be drilled from underground. This high conversion rate increases confidence in the resource estimation.

These Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they have not demonstrated economic viability. All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates. The Mineral Resources described above have been prepared in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") Standards (2014) and follow Best Practices outlined by the CIM (2019). The qualified person for the estimate is Christian Beaulieu, P. Geo. (OGQ#1072), Consulting geologist for GMS. The estimate has an effective date of September 15, 2024. The lower cut-offs used to report open pit Mineral Resources, constrained by an open pit optimization shell, are 0.30 g/t Au in saprolite and alluvium/colluvium, 0.34 g/t Au in transition, and 0.38 g/t Au in rock. Underground Mineral Resources are reported inside potentially mineable volume and include below cut-off material (stope optimization cut-off grade of 1.35 g/t Au). The cut-off grades are based on a gold price of US$1,950 per troy ounce and show , 94.5%, 93.3% and 93.9% processing recoveries for saprolite and alluvium/colluvium, transition and rock, respectively.
Initial Mineral Reserve Estimate
The Project mine plan is based on Probable Mineral Reserves of 76.6 Mt at an average gold grade of 1.89 g/t Au for 4.64 Moz Au.

The Mineral Reserves were estimated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Estimation of Mineral Resources & Mineral Reserves Best Practice Guidelines (Nov 29th, 2019) and CIM Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Reserves, (May 10th, 2014). The mine design and Mineral Reserve estimate have been completed to a level appropriate for feasibility studies. As such, the Mineral Reserves are based on the Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and do not include any Inferred Mineral Resources. The Inferred Mineral Resources contained within the mine design are classified as waste. Mineral Reserves are estimated using a long-term gold price of 1,800 $/oz USD. The qualified person for the estimate is Alexandre Burelle, P. Eng. (OIQ#5019855), Mine planning and financial analysis consultant. The estimate has an effective date of April 2, 2025. Mineral Reserves for Open Pit are estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.41, 0.37, and 0.33 g/t Au for Rock, Transition, and Saprolite respectively. The Open Pit Strip Ratio is 6.83:1 and Dilution factor is 14 %. Mineral Reserves for Underground Mine are estimated at a cut-off grade of 1.70 g/t Au. The underground mine dilution factor is 10% including 4% for the backfill. For the underground a minimum mining width of 5 m was used. The numbers may not sum due to rounding; rounding followed the recommendations in NI 43-101. The mine design and Mineral Reserve estimate have been completed to a level appropriate for feasibility studies. The Mineral Reserve estimate stated herein is consistent with the CIM definitions and is suitable for public reporting.
Production Profile
The FS outlined an average annual gold production profile of 350,000 oz Au over the 12.3-year mine life. Total gold production is 4.34 Moz Au with an average gold grade milled of 1.89 g/t Au, and an average metallurgical recovery of 93.5%.
During the initial three years of commercial production, the processing feed will solely be supplied by the open pit. Starting in the fourth year of production, underground mining begins to contribute to processing feed, and the UG operation is expected to achieve targeted production rates of 4,500 tonnes per day (" tpd") by the sixth year. Over the LOM, UG ore represents 32% of total gold recovered.
LOM open pit average annual gold production totals 238,000 oz Au with an average grade of 1.57g/t Au, while LOM underground average annual gold production totals 112,000 oz Au with an average grade of 3.26 g/t Au.
Table 6: Gold Production by Mill Feed Type
Mining
The Project is planned as a mining operation that integrates both conventional open pit mining and mechanized long hole open stoping for the underground mine. Combined, a total of 76.6 Mt of ore will be mined at an average diluted gold grade of 1.89 g/t Au.
The main OP is centered on Block 4 with one smaller sub-pit positioned on a southern extension to the main pit. A total of 62.4 Mt of ore will be mined from the OP at an average diluted gold grade of 1.57 g/t Au, representing 81% of total mill feed. Approximately 0.6 Mt of this material will be milled during the pre-production period. A total of 426.2 Mt of combined waste and overburden will be extracted, resulting in a strip ratio of 6.8. The OP operation will be executed with an owner-operated mining fleet using four mining phases over a period of 15 years, which includes just over two years of pre-production. Open pit mining will utilize a fleet of 22 m³ hydraulic excavators paired with 139-tonne haul trucks as the primary production equipment.
The UG operation will take place in two zones: the main zone, located directly under the main open pit, and one satellite zone, both accessible from a surface mine portal through the same decline ramp. To enhance operational flexibility and meet the targeted production levels, the zones will be segmented into multiple mining horizons, enabling concurrent development and production activities across several horizons.
The long hole open stoping mining method will be used, including transverse stoping and longitudinal stoping variations. The average UG production rate is expected to be 4,500 tpd of ore, with 4,000 tpd and 500 tpd from stope production and lateral development, respectively. A total of 14.2 Mt of ore is expected to be mined at an average diluted gold grade of 3.26 g/t Au, representing 19% of total mill feed. The UG mine is expected to be in production for 12 years, including a two-year development period. The initial 2 years of construction and development will use owner-operated mining supported by contract mining initially. The primary production equipment for UG mining will include a fleet of 21-tonne load-haul-dump (LHD) units and 63-tonne haul trucks.
Processing and Recovery
The proposed process plant design for Oko West is based on a standard metallurgical flowsheet to treat gold bearing material and produce doré. The process plant is designed to nominally treat 6.0 million tonnes per annum (" Mtpa") of rock and will consist of comminution, gravity concentration, cyanide leach and adsorption via CIP, carbon elution and gold recovery circuits. CIP tailings will be treated in a cyanide destruction circuit and pumped to a tailings storage facility.
The nominal milling rate will be initially set at 7.0 Mtpa to treat a blend of hard rock, saprolite and transition ores during the open pit operational period. The ramp-up period is five months, and the mill will operate for 12.3 years.
Table 7: Metallurgical Recoveries
Power
Plant site activities, including the process plant, UG mine, OP mine, and balance of plant infrastructure, will require an average of 46 megawatts (" MW") at full operation. The Project's base case scenario considers installing a dedicated Heavy Fuel Oil (" HFO") fired power plant. The power plant is anticipated to comprise six 9.3 MW engine generating sets (" genset"), totaling 55.8 MW installed capacity and 46.5 MW running capacity. This assumes that one of the generators would be on standby. One additional genset is planned in sustaining capital to allow for major maintenance activities.
Environmental and Permitting
The Environmental Impact Assessment (" EIA") was formally submitted to Guyana's Environmental Protection Agency (" EPA") in late December 2024 and remains under review. The necessary permits covering the construction of the mine, processing plant, port, HFO power generation, and access road, will be issued after the EPA's review.
In mid-December 2024, GMIN received an Interim Environmental Permit from the EPA authorizing the commencement of early works construction activities. The Corporation is advancing key supporting infrastructures to support full construction, including the installation of water and sewage treatment systems, camp, access roads and wharf area for logistics.
Public consultation meetings were held in January and February 2025 in local communities, providing critical input for the development of environmental and social programs aligned with regional sustainability priorities. GMIN is currently finalizing responses to all requests for clarification and supplementary information, which are expected to be submitted to the EPA by the end of April.
Final environmental approval and the construction permit are expected in Q2 2025.
In parallel, GMIN has initiated applications for other key regulatory authorizations required for the Project's implementation, including the Mining License, port operation, permits for fuel use and storage, and approvals for the installation of transmission and telecommunications towers. These complementary permits will support full-scale construction and operational readiness. All permitting efforts are guided by proactive stakeholder engagement and adherence to international environmental and social performance standards.
Operating Costs
LOM operating costs are estimated at $798 per ounce of gold produced, excluding royalty costs, as summarized below. The LOM AISC is estimated to be $1,123 per ounce of gold produced based on average annual gold production of 350,000 ounces over the 12.3-year LOM.

Project Royalties
The FS considers two federal government royalties:
Underground Royalty: 3.0% of net smelter return of the mineral product.
Open Pit Royalty: 8.0% of net smelter return of the mineral product.
The production profile results in a weighted average royalty rate of 6.4%.
Capital Cost Estimates
The initial capital cost (" capex") is estimated to be $972 million after accounting for $69 million in pre-production credits. A 9% contingency totaling $85 million is included in the estimate. Underground-related capex is captured in sustaining capex, with ramp development to be initiated in the first year of operations.
The total construction period, including the early works program, is forecast to be 34 months with commissioning scheduled for the last quarter of 2027.
Table 9: Capital Cost Summary
(1) Treatment charges/Refining charges
The sustaining capex is estimated to be $650 million, before including $39 million of closure and rehabilitation costs, split between open pit and underground operations. Open pit sustaining capex is earmarked for additional equipment, replacement units, and major repairs. Other sustaining capex captures tailings storage facility raises, process plant, power plant expansion, and General Services.
Table 10: Sustaining Cost Summary
UG sustaining capex totals $291 million and includes lateral and vertical development of the mine, mobile equipment, fixed equipment, construction, and pre-production. The initial two years of construction and development total $68 million (23% of total UG sustaining capex). The table below sets out more details on the underground portion of the sustaining capex.

Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the time of this press release. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Corporation as of the time of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions include, without limitation, those underlying the items listed in the above section entitled "About G Mining Ventures Corp." and:
base case (long-term consensus) gold price at $2,500 per ounce;
the sensitivity of the Project economics (e.g., NPV, IRR, payback) to the price of gold;
the USD:CAD foreign exchange rate;
the MRE and the mineral reserve estimate;
the expected gold grades and metallurgical recoveries;
low inflation environment and Guyana's developing economy;
the various tax assumptions;
the capital cost estimates being supported by budgetary quotes; and
the Project's permitting expectations, notably obtaining the EPA authorization and the final environmental permit.
Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements. There can be no assurance that, notably but without limitation:
all permits necessary to build and bring Oko West into commercial production will be obtained or, as applicable, reinstated;
the Project economics will prove robust;
the price of gold environment and the inflationary context will remain conducive to bringing Oko West into commercial production;
the Project will end up at the bottom quartile of the global cost curve;
the business conditions in Guyana will remain favorable for developing mining projects such as Oko West; and
the Corporation will bring Oko West into commercial production and that it will acquire any other significant gold assets.
In addition, there can be no assurance that, notably but without limitation, (i) the Corporation will grow GMIN into the next mid-tier precious metals producer, (ii) the exploration potential at Tocantinzinho, Oko West and Gurupi will translate into mineral resources that will meet management's expectations, and (iii) Brazil and Guyana will remain mining friendly and prospective jurisdictions, as future events could differ materially from what is currently anticipated by the Corporation.

(TSXV: GPH) (OTCQX: GPHOF) (" Graphite One", the " Company", or "G1"), is pleased to announce that the Company's Graphite Creek project – the upstream anchor for G1's complete U.S.-based advanced graphite supply chain (" Graphite Creek")– has been accepted as a "covered project" onto the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard. Graphite One's project is the first Alaskan mining project to be listed on the FAST-41 Dashboard. "The approval of Graphite Creek as FAST-41's first Alaskan mining project is a major step for G1 and our complete U.S.-based supply chain strategy," said Anthony Huston, CEO of Graphite One. "With President Trump's Critical Mineral and Alaska Executive Orders, Graphite One is positioned at the leading edge of a domestic Critical Mineral renaissance that will power transformational applications from energy and transportation to AI infrastructure and national defense." Graphite One's domestic supply chain is planned to produce graphite concentrate from the Graphite Creek deposit North of Nome, Alaska and Anode Active Material at a facility to be constructed in Warren, Ohio, subject to financing (the " Project"). FAST-41 status follows publication of Graphite One's Feasibility Study (" FS") on April 23, 2025, which, with the support of the Department of Defense Production Act (DPA) award, was completed 15 months ahead of schedule. The annual graphite concentrate capacity of the Graphite Creek Mine in the FS was increased from that in the 2022 Pre-Feasibility Study (" PFS") – from 53,000 tpy to 175,000 tpy while maintaining a 20-year mine life. Measured plus Indicated Resources increased to 322% of the PFS resource. The FS projects a post-tax internal rate of return of 27%, using an 8% discount rate, with a net present value of $5.03 billion and a payback period of 7.5 years. FAST-41 streamlines the permitting process by providing improved timeliness and predictability by establishing publicly posted timelines and procedures for federal agencies, reducing unpredictability in the permitting process. FAST-41 also provides issue resolution mechanisms, while the federal permitting dashboard allows all project stakeholders and the general public to track a project's progress, including periods for public comment. The action drew strong support from Alaska's leading public officials: "America's dependency on foreign minerals and metals is a drag on our economy and a danger to our national security," said Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy. "As the largest natural graphite deposit in the nation, adding Graphite Creek to the FAST-41 Permitting Dashboard sends a strong signal that Alaska is key to U.S. Critical Mineral development." "Graphite One's addition to the FAST-41 permitting dashboard is yet another indication that this project is a national priority of strategic importance," said Senator Lisa Murkowski. "There is no question that developing the largest natural graphite deposit in all of North America is far better for our economy, security, and competitiveness than importing the entirety of our supply from unstable nations like Mozambique. I thank the Trump administration for adding Graphite One to the dashboard and look forward to the day this project comes online." "I want to congratulate Graphite One, which has achieved this milestone thanks to funding from the Defense Production Act, something I have been working on relentlessly in the Senate since the project's inception," said Senator Dan Sullivan. "This project has the potential to open up our state's abundant reserves of critical minerals and metals, which would also be very significant for our country's national security. We must end America's dependence on China for critical minerals, like graphite, resources that are necessary for alternative energy and sources and critical defense technologies. Thankfully, President Trump understands our state's great potential, and is determined to help unleash our vast resources and create good paying jobs to Alaskans. Graphite One's FAST-41 status is great news for our state and our country." "Securing our supply chains for critical minerals is a core priority and requires a whole of government approach." said Alaska Congressman Nick Begich. "Our national security, sovereignty, and continued self-determination require that we take action, and Graphite One is leading the way." Graphite One's Complete U.S.-Based Supply Chain Strategy The Project is planned as an integrated business operation to produce lithium-ion battery anode materials and other graphite products for the U.S domestic market on a commercial scale using primarily natural graphite from Alaska. The Project combines the operation of an advanced graphite manufacturing facility to be located in Warren Ohio with the supply of natural flake graphite from the Company's proposed Graphite Creek Mine in Alaska. The resources associated with the Company's Alaska State mining claims were cited by the U.S. Geological Survey in January 2022 as America's largest natural graphite deposit 1, and in 2023, "as among the largest in the world." This precedes the FS-verified deposit amount increase. The Ohio manufacturing facility received a $325M Letter of Interest from the EXIM Bank in September 2024. About the Permitting Council and FAST-41 Established in 2015 by Title 41 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act (FAST-41), the Permitting Council is a federal agency charged with improving the transparency and predictability of the federal environmental review and authorization process for certain critical infrastructure projects.

FREEMAN GOLD PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE
VANCOUVER, BC , May 27, 2025 /CNW/ - Freeman Gold Corp. (TSXV: FMAN) (OTCQB: FMANF) (FSE: 3WU) (" Freeman" or the " Company") is pleased to provide a corporate update on fiscal 2025 activities for the Lemhi Gold Project (" Lemhi", or the " Project"). On October 16, 2023, Freeman released a robust Preliminary Economic Assessment (" PEA") of the Project as completed by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC (" Ausenco"). On February 10, 2025, the Company awarded a lump sum Feasibility Study (" FS") of Lemhi to Ausenco. The FS is expected to be completed and announced in late Q1 2026. To support the FS, the Company embarked on several activities, including: a phase IV metallurgical program building on the previous three phases completed; expansion and infill drilling to increase and convert inferred ounces to measured and indicated for inclusion in the FS; a geotechnical work program; and an update of pricing assumptions to reflect current market conditions. The revised pricing assumptions were integrated into an updated price sensitivity analysis completed by Ausenco and Moose Mountain Technical Services. The Lemhi PEA outlined a high-grade, low-cost, open pit operation with an average annual production of 80,100 ounces of gold in the first eight years. The production strategy envisions phased development utilizing a carbon-in-leach (" CIL") processing facility. As mentioned above, Freeman updated the pricing assumptions of the PEA to increase the base case from US$1,750/oz Au to US$2,200/oz Au which resulted in a post-tax NPV 5% US$329 million, a post-tax IRR of 28.2% and payback of 2.9 years. Lemhi also has further strong leverage to higher prices and at US$3,400/oz Au, the Project has a post-tax NPV 5% of US$876 million, a post-tax IRR of 57.4% and payback of 1.6 years. As the Company moves forward towards a construction decision, Freeman has advanced permitting initiatives including collecting three years of baseline water quality data required for a state mining permit. To support Lemhi's advanced development, Freeman appointed David Keough to its Board. Mr. Keough has over 35 years of experience in the mining industry and as Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Goldrock Inc., he successfully permitted the Lindero gold project, subsequently acquired by Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., for construction. In the coming weeks and months, the Company looks forward to providing updates on the geotechnical, metallurgical, and resource expansion and upgrade drill programs that will be part of the FS. The Company anticipates increasing both the size of and confidence in resources at Lemhi through the current drill program. Furthermore, metallurgical test work will build on three earlier phases of work that indicated > 95% of contained gold is recoverable using a traditional CIL process and that the significant coarse gold found at Lemhi is amenable to gravity separation. These new work streams will be key components in what Freeman expects to be a robust and economically compelling FS. The Lemhi project will also benefit from President Trump's Executive Order to fast-track and revitalize American mineral production. Lemhi is uniquely positioned to provide broad economic benefits to the State of Idaho and create hundreds of local jobs. About the Company and Project Freeman Gold Corp. is a mineral exploration company focused on the development of its 100% owned Lemhi Gold property. The Project comprises 30 square kilometres of highly prospective land, hosting a near-surface oxide gold resource. The pit constrained National Instrument 43-101 (" NI 43- 101") compliant mineral resource estimate is comprised of 988,100 ounces gold (" oz Au") at 1.0 gram per tonne (" g/t") in 30.02 million tonnes (4.7 million tonnes Measured (168,800 oz) & 25.5 million tonnes Indicated (819,300 oz)) and 256,000 oz Au at 1.04 g/t Au in 7.63 million tonnes (Inferred). The Company is focused on growing and advancing the Project towards a production decision. To date, 525 drill holes and 92,696 m of drilling has historically been completed (Murray K., Elfen, S.C., Mehrfert, P., Millard, J., Cooper, Schulte, M., Dufresne, M., NI 43-101 Technical Report and Preliminary Economic Assessment, dated November 20, 2023; The recently updated price sensitivity analysis (see Freeman's news release dated April 9, 2025) shows a PEA with an after-tax net present value (5%) of US$329 million and an internal rate of return of 28.2% using a base case gold price of US$2,200/oz; Average annual gold production of 75,900 oz Au for a total life-of-mine of 11.2 years payable output of 851,900 oz Au; life-of-mine cash costs of US$925/oz Au; and, all-in sustaining costs of US$1,105/oz Au using an initial capital expenditure of US$215 million*. *Note: Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The preliminary economic assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary economic assessment will be realized.

G Mining Ventures Reports First Quarter 2025 Results
BROSSARD, QC, May 14, 2025 /CNW/ - G Mining Ventures Corp. (" GMIN" or the " Corporation" or " we") (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF) is pleased to report its production and financial results 1 for the quarter ended March 31, 2025. Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts in this news release are expressed in U.S. dollars. "We are pleased to deliver a second consecutive quarter of free cash flow with perfect safety performance. While continuing to ramp up to nameplate capacity, we produced about 35,600 ounces at a leading all-in sustaining cost of $960 per ounce. With a further increase in production and decrease in costs expected in the second half of the year, we remain on track to achieve our full year production guidance." said Louis-Pierre Gignac, President & Chief Executive Officer."With $149 million in cash on hand, we are excited to advance early works at Oko West and proceed to a formal construction decision later this year. Our strategy remains focused on building long-term shareholder value through disciplined execution." First Quarter 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights On track to deliver 2025 production, cost, and capital guidance Safety: No Lost Time or Recordable Incidents Production: 35,578 ounces (" oz") of gold (" Au") in Doré Operating Costs: All-in sustaining costs 2 (" AISC") of $960 per oz Au sold Net Income: $24.4 million, or $0.11 per share – basic Adjusted Net Income 2: $35.4 million or $0.16 per share – basic Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization)2: $68.6 million Cash Flow from Operating Activities: $39.4 million before the net change in non-cash working capital items Free Cash Flow 2: $36.0 million, or $0.16 per share – basic Cash and Cash Equivalents: $149.0 million Released Positive Feasibility Study for Oko West: In April, published a robust Feasibility Study outlining a base case after-tax NPV 5% of $2.2 billion and 27% IRR using a $2,500 gold price, and average annual gold production of 350,000 ounces at an AISC 2 of $1,123/oz for 12.3 years. Commenced Early Works Construction at Oko West: Following receipt of the Interim Environmental Permit in January, early works began in March, with ~$150 million in long-lead items committed and negotiated to date. Reported Significant Increase in Mineral Reserves: Proven and Probable reserves increased to 6.7 million ounces, while improving the average grade by 30% to 1.62g/t Au. Added to Three Major Benchmark Indices: In recognition of growth and increased market relevance, GMIN was added to the S&P/TSX Composite index (GSPTSE), NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDX), and the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ) — significantly enhancing visibility among institutional investors and index-tracking funds. Operational Results 1: Financial Results 1: First Quarter Highlights After the first quarter of production, the Corporation remains on-track to deliver its 2025 production guidance of 175,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold at AISC 2 of $1,025 to $1,125 per gold ounce sold. Health and Safety During the quarter, no Lost-Time or Recordable Incidents were reported over the 563,795 hours worked. Safety is fundamental to how we operate it reflects our deep commitment to protecting our people every step of the way. Financial Highlights – Second Consecutive Quarter of Free Cash Flow Gold sales totaled 35,435 ounces, generating $98 million in revenue at an average realized gold price 2 of $2,766 per ounce. Despite higher gold prices, revenue decreased quarter-over-quarter due to lower sales volumes. Cash costs 2 were $689 per ounce, and AISC 2 were $960 per ounce — below 2025 guidance, primarily due to deferred sustaining capital expenditures from Q1 to Q2. Total operating costs 2 were lower than expected, benefiting from lower general and administrative and processing expenses, though unit costs increased quarter-over-quarter due to reduced sales volume. Unit costs are expected to decline as production continues ramping up to nameplate capacity. Cash flow from operations was $39 million before changes in net working capital, resulting in free cash flow 2 of $36 million ($0.16 per share) and a cash balance of $149 million at quarter-end. Adjusted EBITDA 2 totaled $69 million, with adjusted net income 2 of $35 million ($0.16 per share), reflecting strong operational performance during our second ramp-up quarter. *Comprised of Sustaining capital expenditures, capitalized stripping (sustaining) and accretion to rehabilitation provision (ARO). Tocantinzinho – Q1 2025 Operating Summary TZ is a major employer of local workforce, with 83% of the ~1,150 employees and contractors coming from local communities (Pará State), and 99% Brazilians. First-quarter gold production totaled 35,578 ounces, representing 19% of the midpoint of annual guidance, slightly below the planned 22%. Production in 2025 remains weighted to the second half of the year (56%), as higher-grade ore becomes accessible in deeper mine benches. Mining volumes totaled 3.7 million tonnes, including 1.5 million tonnes of ore, resulting in a low strip ratio of 1.45x. Productivity was impacted by unusually heavy rainfall (1.3 meters—nearly double the historical average), reducing mined tonnage quarter-over-quarter. Ore stockpiles at quarter-end totaled 5.5 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.80 g/t Au. Plant throughput averaged 10,046 tonnes per day, or 78% of nameplate capacity, primarily due to unscheduled downtime for SAG mill liner replacement. A new metallic liner system installed in April is expected to increase plant availability and throughput to nameplate levels with good performance demonstrated to date. Gold recoveries remained strong at over 88%, in line with Feasibility Study expectations. Processed ore grade averaged 1.40 g/t Au during the quarter, with higher-grade ore (1.60 g/t Au) planned for processing in the second half of 2025. Tocantinzinho – Q1 2025 Sustaining Capital Expenditure Update Total 2025 sustaining capital expenditures2 at Tocantinzinho are forecasted at $60 to $70 million, including $23 million for capitalized waste stripping and $2 million for near-mine exploration. Q1 sustaining capital expenditures totaled $5 million, including $2 million for capitalized waste stripping. Spending is expected to peak at approximately $40 million in Q2, reflecting the deferral of $25 million from Q1. Key one-time investments in 2025 include $20 million for mining equipment, $10 million for major mobile fleet components, and $4.5 million for tailings facility upgrades. Sustaining capital expenditures 2 for the second half of 2025 are forecast to be up to $25 million, with approximately 70% allocated to capitalized waste stripping, supporting a reduced and normalized spending profile. Oko West Development Update In April 2025, GMIN published the results of a positive Feasibility Study for its Oko West Project in Guyana, confirming a long-life, low-cost, and high-margin gold operation. Average annual gold production is estimated at 350,000 ounces over a 12.3-year mine life, with an AISC of $1,123 per ounce. Initial capital is estimated at $972 million. The study outlines strong economics, including an after-tax NPV 5% of $2.2 billion and IRR of 27% at a base case gold price of $2,500 per ounce. At a spot gold price of $3,200 per ounce, the after-tax NPV 5% increases to $3.6 billion and the IRR to 38%. Following receipt of the Interim Environmental Permit in January, early works construction began in March. GMIN has guided $200 to $240 million in 2025 development capital, with key infrastructure — including roads, airstrip, barge landing, and camp facilities — expected to be substantially completed by year-end. In Q1, $17 million was directed toward early works construction activities and prepayments for equipment. Earthworks are advancing well, with concrete work set to begin shortly. To de-risk the schedule, GMIN has committed or negotiated approximately $150 million in long-lead items, including mobile and marine equipment, grinding mills, primary crusher, and the power plant. First deliveries of equipment are expected in Q2, allowing the Corporation to begin self-performing earthworks on site. Worker training programs began in January, and the headcount reached 200 by the end of March. Final permitting remains on track for Q2. Public consultations concluded in February, and stakeholder feedback has been incorporated into the ESG programs. Final responses will be submitted to the EPA by mid-May, with final approval anticipated shortly thereafter. Financing discussions are advancing in parallel, with a package expected this summer, ahead of a formal construction decision targeted for early in the second half of 2025. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Corporation ended Q1-25 with a cash and cash equivalents balance of $149 million. The $8 million increase quarter over quarter is attributed to the following: 2025 Outlook GMIN released 2025 guidance on January 21, 2025, including production, total cash costs, AISC, as well as sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures. The following table summarizes 2025 guidance: Note: Guidance assumes a realized gold price of $2,350 and BRL/USD of 5.25. 2025 Catalysts Over 2025, the Corporation will focus on the following activities: Tocantinzinho nameplate capacity (Q2-2025) Oko West financing and construction decision (H2-2025) Continuation of detailed engineering at Oko West (2025) Greenfield and brownfield exploration (TZ, Oko West and Gurupi) (2025) First Quarter 2025 Results Conference Call and Webcast A conference call to discuss details of GMIN's first quarter 2025 results will be held by senior management on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at 9:00 AM (E.S.T.).
