• Reserve update expected in Q1 2027, potentially expanding the current 2-million-ounce reserve; as of December 31, 2025, mineral reserves total 1.97 Moz Au.

• Abore deposit shows underground mining potential, with exploration adit permitting underway and ground-breaking expected early 2027; Abore underground exploration has expanded ore zones and identified new high-grade mineralization.

• Reserve growth and production ramp-up expected to drive valuation rerating.
