ABOUT SOLGOLD

SolGold is a leading resources company focused on the discovery, definition, and development of world-class copper and gold deposits, and continues to strive to deliver objectives efficiently in the interests of its shareholders.

SolGold completed and released a staged development plan, including a Pre-Feasibility Study, on 16 February 2024. The study, completed at US$1,750/oz gold, US$3.85/lb copper, and US$22.50/oz for silver, delivered an NPV (based on a discount rate of 8%) of US$3.22bn on a capex of US$1.55bn for an initial 12 Mtpa underground block caving operation. The evaluation also showed an after-tax IRR of 24% and a first 10-year free cash flow generation of US$7.1bn. The PFS assessed Mineral Resources 539.7 Mt tonnes, which represents only 18% of the total resource over an initial 28-year project life.

On 15 July 2024, SolGold announced a gold stream agreement with Franco-Nevada (Barbados) Corporation and OR Royalties International Ltd. (formerly Osisko Bermuda Limited) (the "Streamers"), pursuant to which the Streamers would pay US$100 million as pre-development funding in three tranches, conditional upon achieving various technical and permitting milestones. The first US$33.3 million was received upon signing, with a further US$33.3 million approved by the Streamers on 9 July 2025. A further US$650m contribution to development expenditure will be provided on completion of the feasibility study, permitting and financing, subject to CPs, acceptable financing packages for the balance funding required. SolGold has agreed, in consideration for this funding, a life-of-mine stream priced at 20% of the spot gold price at the time, for 20% of gold production for the first 10 years and 12% thereafter. The stream represents approximately 5% of total revenue for the project and provides some 42% of currently estimated capital development costs. SolGold retains change of control buyback options on the stream to the extent of 50% within 3 years and 33 1/3 % for a further two years.

SolGold continues to advance de-risking programs, permitting and financing discussions, and to reevaluate the Project at recent consensus prices for copper and gold.

On 28 October 2024, SolGold appointed G Mining Services to be the Project Manager for the Feasibility Study.

The Company operates with transparency and in accordance with international best practices. SolGold is committed to delivering value to its shareholders while simultaneously providing economic and social benefits to impacted communities, fostering a healthy and safe workplace, and minimizing environmental impact.

SolGold is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE: SOLG).
