Project overview and regional context

• Antino Gold Project covers 102,360 ha in Suriname's Guiana Shield, a geologically rich but under-explored region with significant gold potential.

• The Guiana Shield shares geological continuity with West Africa's Birimian Shield, known for large gold deposits.

• Suriname has a 25+ year history of large-scale gold mining, producing over 500,000 oz/year, and is attracting growing international investment.

• The project benefits from strong local relationships, infrastructure, and a predominantly local workforce.

Exploration highlights and discoveries

• Five separate high-grade shear zones identified, with drilling commencing late Q1 2026.

• New discovery at Antino West (June 2026) extends mineralization 2,500 m along strike and over 500 m deep, with notable intercepts such as 53.1m of 1.21 g/t Au.

• Upper Antino demonstrates persistent high-grade mineralization at depth, including 9.0 m of 12.21 g/t Au at 320 m vertical depth.

• Lower Antino shows scale and consistent grade, with intercepts like 90.0 m of 1.02 g/t Au and remains open along strike and depth.

• Ten major discoveries since 2023, with emerging targets such as Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Maria Geralda, and Parbo.

Resource growth and potential

• Over 500,000 ounces of historical reported gold production; large, high-quality historical datasets support ongoing exploration.

• Deposits in the Guiana Shield typically grow through adjacent discoveries, as seen at Rosebel and Merian.

• All mineralized zones at Antino remain open along strike and at depth, indicating significant expansion potential.

• Maria Geralda target is expanding with high-grade auger and drill results, and further drilling is planned.

• Antino North and Northeast have confirmed new mineralized systems, with results such as 24.6 m of 2.81 g/t Au and 58.5 m of 1.00 g/t Au.
