JORC Code, 2012 Edition - Table 1

●    Description of the Mineral Resource estimate used as a basis for the conversion to an Ore Reserve.

●    Clear statement as to whether the Mineral Resources are reported additional to, or inclusive of, the Ore Reserves.

●    Indicated Mineral Resources for the Sanankoro Gold Project, as prepared by SRK Global in 2022, were used as the basis for Ore Reserves.

●    The Ore Reserves, including adjustment for ore loss and dilution factors, are included within the declared Mineral Resources

●    Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the outcome of those visits.

●    If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case.

●  Site visits have been undertaken by other Competent personnel for various aspects of the DFS.

●    SENET has also been to site as the main independent consultant and F. Fourie, the CP for the Ore Reserves will rely on their visit.

●    The type and level of study undertaken to enable Mineral Resources to be converted to Ore Reserves.

●    The Code requires that a study to at least Pre-Feasibility Study level has been undertaken to convert Mineral Resources to Ore Reserves. Such studies will have been carried out and will have determined a mine plan that is technically achievable and economically viable, and that material Modifying Factors have been considered.

●    A feasibility level study has been completed for the Project.

●    A mine plan that is technically achievable and economically viable has been completed.

●    The basis of the cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied.

●   A financial assessment was undertaken to ascertain whether the Cut-off grade fulfil the criteria of "reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction" using detailed costs

●    To complete pit optimisation, which forms the basis of the final pit designs, a cut-off grade estimate was performed. The cost per tonne for mining, processing and overhead costs, mining dilution and loss factors, processing plant recoveries and net payable gold, were used, to determine the cut-off grade.

●    A cut-off grade of 0.5g/t was used.

●    The cut-off grade are being used for the Project, and are considered by the CP to be appropriate for the operation, considering the nature of the deposit, and the associated project economics.

● The method and assumptions used as reported in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study to convert the Mineral Resource to an Ore Reserve (i.e. either by application of appropriate factors by optimisation or by preliminary or detailed design).

●    The choice, nature and appropriateness of the selected mining method(s) and other mining parameters including associated design issues such as pre-strip, access, etc.

●The assumptions made regarding geotechnical parameters (eg pit slopes, stope sizes, etc), grade control and pre-production drilling.

●    The major assumptions made and Mineral Resource model used for pit and stope optimisation (if appropriate).

●    The mining dilution factors used.

●    The mining recovery factors used.

●    Any minimum mining widths used.

●    The manner in which Inferred Mineral Resources are utilised in mining studies and the sensitivity of the outcome to their inclusion.

●    The infrastructure requirements of the selected mining methods.

●   Using the Mineral Resource model, pit optimisations where completed. These formed the basis of final pit designs, which were used in the life of mine schedule. The CP considers the LoM to be appropriate and practically achievable.

●    The mining of Selin, Zone A and Zone B is well suited to typical open pit methods using a backhoe configured excavator and truck fleet which will be operated by a mining contractor.

●    Geotechnical assumptions were based on the various geotechnical drilling and analysis completed by OHMS

●    Modifying factors applied:

o  Mining recovery and dilution:

▪       Selin: Mining recovery 97%, Dilution 8%

▪       Zone A: Mining recovery 94%, Dilution 8%

▪       Zone B: Mining recovery 95%, Dilution 8%

●    The metallurgical process proposed and the appropriateness of that process to the style of mineralisation.

●    Whether the metallurgical process is well-tested technology or novel in nature.

●    The nature, amount and representativeness of metallurgical test work undertaken, the nature of the metallurgical domaining applied and the corresponding metallurgical recovery factors applied.

●    Any assumptions or allowances made for deleterious elements.

●    The existence of any bulk sample or pilot scale test work and the degree to which such samples are considered representative of the orebody as a whole.

●    For minerals that are defined by a specification, has the ore reserve estimation been based on the appropriate mineralogy to meet the specifications?

●      The Sanankoro gold processing plant is designed to process oxide and transition ores from the three main deposits: Selin, Zone A and Zone B ores.

●      The proposed process gravity/carbon-in-leach (CIL) technology, which consists of crushing, milling, and gravity recovery of free gold, followed by leaching/adsorption of gravity tailings, elution and gold smelting, and tailings disposal. The process is well suited to the style of mineralisation.

●      The proposed process plant design is based on a well-proven and established gravity/CIL technology.

●      Extensive test work on oxide ores ore has been completed on samples from the Selin, Zone A and Zone B to cover the entire deposit laterally and at depth, which are considered representative. Only one sample of transition ore from Selin was tested and thus is considered preliminary in nature but however transition constitutes 22% of indicated resource.

Gold is expected to be extracted from each ore type at the following average recoveries:

●      Selin Oxide: 93.0%

●      Zone A oxide: 97.0%

●      Zone B Oxide 93.7%

●      Selin Transition 48.3%

No deleterious elements are indicated in the ore head grade assayed

A bulk sample composite was taken per domain and per weathering zone (and at depth), which are considered representative of the individual domains and zones.

Specifications are not applicable. The product will be in the form of gold doré. The doré bars will be weighed, sampled and assayed before being sent to the precious metal refinery.

● The status of studies of potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation. Details of waste rock characterisation and the consideration of potential sites, status of design options considered and, where applicable, the status of approvals for process residue storage and waste dumps should be reported.

●    Any identified material naturally occurring risks.

●    The status of material legal agreements and marketing arrangements.

●    The status of governmental agreements and approvals critical to the viability of the project, such as mineral tenement status, and government and statutory approvals. There must be reasonable grounds to expect that all necessary Government approvals will be received within the timeframes anticipated in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility study. Highlight and discuss the materiality of any unresolved matter that is dependent on a third party on which extraction of the reserve is contingent.

●    As required by laws and or regulation of the country. A mining permit is required for the Project but the Company see no reasons that this would not be granted.

●    The basis for the classification of the Ore Reserves into varying confidence categories.

●    Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person's view of the deposit.

●    The proportion of Probable Ore Reserves that have been derived from Measured Mineral Resources (if any).

●    Indicated Mineral Resources within the pit designs and which are above the nominated cut-off grade, have been classified as Probable Ore Reserves.

●    It is the opinion of the Competent Persons for Ore Reserves that the results are an appropriate reflection of the deposit. ∙ No Probable Ore Reserves have been classified from Measured Mineral Resources.

●    The results of any audits or reviews of Ore Reserve estimates.

●    No external audits or reviews of the Ore Reserve has been completed

●    Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence level in the Ore Reserve estimate using an approach or procedure deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of the reserve within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors which could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.

●    The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates, and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include assumptions made and the procedures used.

●    Accuracy and confidence discussions should extend to specific discussions of any applied Modifying Factors that may have a material impact on Ore Reserve viability, or for which there are remaining areas of uncertainty at the current study stage.

●    It is recognised that this may not be possible or appropriate in all circumstances. These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.

●      The Ore Reserve has been completed to feasibility standard with the data being generated from a tightly spaced drilling grid, thus confidence in the resultant figures is considered high.
