Notes

Cora is a West African gold developer with de-risked project areas within two known gold belts in Mali and Senegal. Led by a team with a proven track-record in making multi-million-ounce gold discoveries that have been developed into operating mines, Cora's primary focus is on developing the Sanankoro Gold Project in the Yanfolila Gold Belt in south Mali into an open pit oxide mine.

Cora has a Probable Reserve of 531 koz at 1.13 g/t Au (US$2,200/oz Au pit shell design). The 2025 Definitive Feasibility Study showed that the Project has strong economic fundamentals, including 65% IRR post tax, US$221 million NPV₈ post tax, US$479 million Free Cash Flow over life of mine and all-in sustaining costs of US$1,478/oz based on a gold price of US$2,750/oz.

The Company is advancing the permitting process with the Government of Mali such that having secured binding finance agreement to fully fund the mine development then transition into construction can happen as quickly as possible. In parallel, the Company continues to pursue value-enhancing opportunities across its portfolio and has identified largescale gold mineralisation potential at the Madina Foulbé exploration permit, located within the Mako Gold Belt of the Kédougou-Kéniéba Inlier in eastern Senegal.
