Operational Highlights for Q2 2026 and H1 2026

Segilola Production

• Gold poured totalled 19,153 oz for Q2 2026, and 39,409 oz for H1 2026 (Q2 2025: 22,784 oz; H1 2025: 45,574 oz).

  • Mill feed grade for Q2 2026 was 2.57 grammes per tonne ("g/t") Au with recovery at 93.3%.

  • A total of 240,769 tonnes of ore were processed with no significant downtime periods.

  • The process plant maintained good recovery performance in Q2 2026 reducing the gold in circuit ("GIC") by 583 oz of gold.

  • The stockpile balance increased by 8.09% to 58,431 Au oz of ore at an average grade of 0.74 g/tAu. The significant stockpile available (approximately two years of process plant supply) offers flexibility and low risk for future process plant production.

Segilola Exploration

• The focus remained on the Segilola life-of-mine extension drilling program and regional target generation as the Company continues to assess opportunities to extend the current Segilola mine life.

• Diamond drilling continued during Q2 2026 to test potential depth extensions of the Segilola deposit, with 10,614 metres ("m") completed across 37 holes using four owner-operated diamond drill rigs.
  
  

  • The drill holes were completed at a combination of 40m and 80m inter-hole spacings to test the continuity of the steeply south-plunging, high-grade shoots beneath the current open-pit mine design.

  • Results reflected narrow zones of mineralisation intersected below the limits of the current final open-pit design.

  • Drilling continued following the end of the Period and is expected to continue through to the end of the calendar year to further delineate zones with the potential to support underground mining.

• The Company engaged a mining consultancy to undertake a high-level review of the underground mining potential based on the currently compiled potential resources and to support the continuation of the drilling program.

• Regional exploration activities progressed across the Company's Segilola licences during Q2 2026:
  
  

  • Geochemical sampling continued across the Ondo, Kajola, Central and Western prospects, comprising auger, rock-chip, termite-mound and stream-sediment sampling. The principal areas investigated were west of Ondo, northwest of Igila and west of the Segilola Mine.

  • Within the Western Prospect, infill auger sampling northwest of Igila returned significant gold assay results of up to 0.401g/tAu, following up on anomalies identified through the initial wide-spaced auger sampling programme. Further auger sampling was also completed west of the Mine area.

  • At the Ondo Prospect, geochemical sampling targeted interpreted geophysical structures, primarily west of the north-south-trending quartzite-quartz schist ridge.

  • Regional stream-sediment sampling outside the Ondo Prospect returned significant gold values of up to 2.12 g/tAu, providing additional targets for follow-up exploration.

Senegal

• During Q2 2026, the Company completed a total of 19,356m of reverse circulation ("RC") drilling and 6,150m of rotary air blast and air core ("RAB/AC") drilling across its Senegal projects.

• At the Douta Project, sterilisation drilling commenced during the Period to support the planning and location of future mine infrastructure.

• At Douta-West, RC drilling continued at the Baraka 3 Prospect, with the drilling extended the mineralisation to the north and confirmed that the mineralised system remains open in that direction.

• At the Boussankhoba Project, exploration focused on testing and extending gold mineralisation along the 10-kilometre northeast-trending corridor between the Sekhoto North and Massa Massa prospects.
  
  
  • Ongoing RC drilling continued to demonstrate continuity of mineralisation between Sekhoto North and Massa Massa, indicating that the two prospects form part of a single mineralised system with significant potential for further resource growth.

Côte d'Ivoire

• During Q2 2026, exploration activities in Côte d'Ivoire focused on continued target generation and drill testing at the Guitry and Marahui projects, together with early-stage target generation activities across the Laoudiba and Boundiali projects.

• At the Marahui Project, soil geochemical sampling and geological mapping defined two parallel anomalous structures:
  
  

  • The larger anomaly extends over approximately four kilometres in length and 200m in width.

  • A follow-up RC drilling programme comprising 50 holes for a total of 5,125m intersected multiple narrow zones of gold mineralisation over a strike length of approximately one kilometre.

Environment, Social and Governance

• Environmental compliance monitoring continued on a monthly basis during Q2 2026, with quarterly summary reports submitted to the Federal Ministry of Environment ("FMEnv") and copied to the Environment Division of the Ministry of Solid Minerals:
  
  

  • Ambient air quality and noise levels remained consistent with those recorded in Q2 2025 and within FMEnv-prescribed thresholds.

  • The onset of the rainy season in April resulted in a reduction in Total Suspended Particulates, while water turbidity temporarily increased in line with expected seasonal conditions.

  • Groundwater and surface water parameters, including pH levels, remained within natural ranges.

• The Company published its 2025 ESG and Sustainability Report on 18 June 2026, highlighting performance across its six material ESG topics: Corporate Governance, People, Health and Safety, Environment, Community and Social, and Cultural Governance.

• Continued operational efficiencies and reduced mine haulage distances resulted in environmental benefits during Q2 2026:

  • Raw water withdrawals decreased by 36% to 31.24 megalitres ("ml"), compared with 50.27ml in Q2 2025.

  • Total greenhouse gas emissions decreased by approximately 16% to 9,818 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent ("tCO₂e"), compared with 11,621tCO₂e in Q2 2025.

  • Emissions intensity remained stable at 0.51tCO₂e per ounce of gold produced, unchanged from Q2 2025.

• Notable milestones with respect to the Company's community development and corporate social responsibility activities during Q2 2026 included:
  
  

  • Hosting the fifth annual inter-community football competition, with 10 men's and four women's teams comprising Segilola Mine employees and members of the host communities competing.

  • Progressing the construction and renovation of community buildings, businesses and infrastructure supported under the Company's Community Development Agreements, including renovations to Odo-Ijesha High School, the Imogbara community palace, community road construction and the Iperindo Water Bottling Factory.

  • Ongoing support for elderly residents, administering examinations under the Annual School Scholarship Programme and monitoring beneficiaries of the Company's women's initiatives and youth empowerment programmes.

• In Senegal, following the approval of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for Phase 1 of the Douta Project in January 2026, the Company continued planning and progressing the actions set out in the approval.
  
  
  • The Company expanded its health, safety, social and environmental resources during Q2 2026, including the appointment in June of a new team leader who commenced the role in July 2026.

• In Côte d'Ivoire, the Ngnira Gold community team developed an Education, Health and Social Action Plan to guide initiatives across the communities surrounding the Company's four exploration licence areas.
  
  
  • A stakeholder engagement plan is also being developed to support ongoing exploration activities.

Outlook

• FY2026 production guidance of 75,000 to 85,000 oz maintained, while AISC guidance remains at US$1,000 to US$1,200 per oz.

• Advance exploration program across the portfolio:

  • Segilola: continuation of underground exploration drilling program targeting additional resource definition during 2026 and an updated MRE by the end of the year.

Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated:

"I am pleased with the Company's operational performance for the second quarter and first half of 2026. Despite lower production compared with the prior year, the strength of the gold price, together with continued cost discipline and operational efficiencies, resulted in half-year records across revenue, EBITDA and net profit. We ended the Period with a strong adjusted net cash position of US$218.6 million.

"During the Quarter, we poured 19,153 ounces of gold and sold 17,050 ounces at an average price of US$4,554 per ounce. The process plant has continued to perform well, achieving a recovery rate of 93.3% with no significant downtime, while cash operating costs were US$760 per ounce sold and AISC was US$1,262 per ounce sold.

"Exploration work progressed at Segilola, with the ongoing extensive drilling program. This drilling is producing encouraging results, intersecting multiple high grade intercepts hundreds of metres beneath the current open-pit mine design. Drilling will continue through to the end of the year as we further assess the underground potential. We are also continuing with our regional exploration in Nigeria, with geochemical sampling across the Ondo, Kajola, Central and Western prospects generating further targets for follow-up exploration and scout drilling.

"In Senegal, we are in advanced stages of discussions with the government regarding the finalisation of the Douta Mining Convention which forms a key component of the Douta Project Final Investment decision. In parallel, we continue to advance exploration across our licence tenure as part of our strategy to expand the Douta resource base ahead of an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and optimised Preliminary Feasibility Study.

"In Côte d'Ivoire, exploration work continued across the portfolio with most of the focus on the Guitry and Marahui licences. Follow-up drilling is being carried out based on initial encouraging exploration results and we look forward to releasing the drilling results in Q3 2026.

"We also continued to progress our ESG and community development programmes across the portfolio. During the Quarter, raw water withdrawals at Segilola decreased by 36% year on year and total greenhouse gas emissions declined by approximately 16%. We also published our 2025 ESG and Sustainability Report and continued investing in community infrastructure, education, enterprise and social initiatives across Nigeria, Senegal and Côte d'Ivoire.

"Looking ahead, our strong and growing balance sheet continues to enable us to carry out our exploration activities across the portfolio where we are aiming to deliver value adding milestones of mine life extension at Segilola, Final Investment Decision at Douta and a maiden resource from our portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire."

The key impacts on the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows:

7. PROVISIONS

The restoration costs provision is for the site restoration at Segilola Gold Project in Osun State Nigeria. The value of the above provision is measured by unwinding the discount on expected future cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest.

It is expected that the restoration costs will be paid in US dollars, and as such US forecast inflation rates of 2.5% and the interest rate of 4.25% on 2-year US bonds were used to calculate the expected future cash flows, which are in line with the life of mine. The provision represents the net present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation to rehabilitate environmental disturbances caused by mining operations at mine closure.

The fleet demobilization costs provision is the value of the cost to demobilize the mining fleet upon closure of the mine.
