PASINEX COMPLETES HORZUM A.S. SHARE TRANSFER AND PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE AT PINARGÖZÜ MINE
Pasinex Resources Ltd. has provided an update further to its news release dated Dec. 12, 2025, regarding the acquisition of full ownership of Horzum A.S., which operates the high-grade Pinargozu mine located in Adana province, Turkey.
The company confirms that the share transfer process for Horzum A.S. has now been completed. All required board of directors' resolutions have been executed, the relevant share certificates have been duly endorsed and delivered to Pasinex, and the necessary filings with the Turkish Trade Registry have been completed. As a result, Pasinex Arama ve Madencilik A.S. now holds 100-per-cent ownership of Horzum A.S.
Following completion of the share transfer and corporate registrations, Horzum A.S. will formally reconstitute its board of directors and implement updated governance, authority, and signature directives. The company will then proceed with the execution of its 2026 operational plan.
Pinargozu operations update
Recent site activities at Pinargozu reflect continued operational progress and readiness for expanded development. Over the course of December, Pasinex has completed construction of a 10-by-20-metre material loading and sorting area in front of the 541 adit, installed concrete barriers and wire fencing around construction and parking areas, and advanced renovations to on-site office facilities. Meetings held with the technical, production and finance teams have focused on near-term operational planning and execution priorities.
Production at Pinargozu continues, with previously mined material now being brought to surface following completion of the external stock area. As of late December, surface stockpiles of zinc sulphide material have increased to approximately 340 tonnes. The company has also evaluated nearby crushing and ore enrichment facilities as part of its continuing logistics and processing planning.
Health, safety and training initiatives remain a priority, with no reported incidents at site and ongoing periodic training provided to mine personnel throughout the month.
Management commentary
Dr. Larry Seeley, executive chairman of Pasinex, commented: "Completing the Horzum share transfer before year-end is an important milestone for Pasinex. With full ownership now secured, we are well positioned to advance our 2026 plans at Pinargozu, where ongoing site improvements, steady production and growing mined stockpiles reflect the strength of the asset and the operational team on the ground."
