The first five months of 2025 has continued in this way as well, so we are on track with our plans for the current year which will build the platform for further future growth. The matters being considered at the 2025 Annual General Meeting, as set out in the Notice, are items that are routinely considered at such meetings. I am very much looking forward to meeting with Shareholders at the AGM and having the opportunity to discuss with them my hopes and expectations for Serabi for the Company is a "designated foreign issuer" for the purposes of Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 71-102 - Continuous Disclosure and Other Exemptions Relating to Foreign Issuer ("NI 71-102") and, as such, the Company is not subject to the same ongoing reporting requirements as most other reporting issuers in Canada. Generally, the Company complies with Canadian ongoing reporting requirements by complying with the regulatory requirements of AIM, which is a "foreign regulatory authority" (as defined in NI 71-102), and filing any documents required to be filed with or furnished to AIM with the securities regulatory authorities in Directors consider that the resolutions set out in the Notice being put to the AGM are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders and are most likely to promote the success of the Company for the benefit of the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the proposed resolutions as they intend to do so in respect of their own holdings, where relevant, amounting to an aggregate of 70,066 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 0.1% of the Company's Ordinary Shares in issue at the date of this document. Yours faithfully (Signed) "Michael D Lynch-Bell" Michael D Lynch-Bell Non-executive Chairman Assay Results Assay results reported within this release are those provided by the Company's own onsite laboratory facilities at Palito and have not yet been independently verified. Serabi closely monitors the performance of its own facility against results from independent laboratory analysis for quality control purpose. As a matter of normal practice, the Company sends duplicate samples derived from a variety of the Company's activities to accredited laboratory facilities for independent verification. Since mid-2019, over 10,000 exploration drill core samples have been assayed at both the Palito laboratory and certified external laboratory, in most cases the ALS laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. When comparing significant assays with grades exceeding 1 g/t gold, comparison between Palito versus external results record an average over-estimation by the Palito laboratory of 6.7% over this period. Based on the results of this work, the Company's management are satisfied that the Company's own facility shows sufficiently good correlation with independent laboratory facilities for exploration drill samples. The Company would expect that in the preparation of any future independent Reserve/Resource statement undertaken in compliance with a recognised standard, the independent authors of such a statement would not use Palito assay results without sufficient duplicates from an appropriately certificated laboratory.
