exploration work, the first quarter of 2022 saw Akobo Minerals working towards commencing mining operations by the end of the year.

The recent completion of our airstrip beside our exploration and mining operation will have a positive impact on both Akobo Minerals and the local community.

About Akobo Minerals

Akobo Minerals is a Scandinavian-based gold exploration and boutique mining company, currently holding an exploration license covering 182 km2 and with an ongoing mine development in the Gambela region and Dima Woreda, Ethiopia. The Company has established itself as the leading gold exploration company in Ethiopia through more than 12 years of on-the-ground activity.

Akobo Minerals holds a 16 km2 mining licence and is working to start up mining of its very promising Segele target. It has an Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resource yielding a world-class gold grade of 22.7 gr/ton, combined with an estimated all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of 243 USD per ounce. Still open to depth, the gold mineralised zone continues to expand and will have a positive impact on future resource estimates and minelife. The exploration license holds numerous promising exploration resource-building prospects in both the vicinity of Segele and in the wider license area.

Akobo Minerals has an excellent relationship with local communities all the way up to national authorities and it places environment, social and governance (ESG) at the heart of its activities – as demonstrated by the industry-leading community program underway.

Akobo Minerals has built a strong local foothold based upon the principles of sound ethics, transparency, and communication, and is ready to take on new opportunities and ventures as they arise. The company is uniquely positioned to become a major player in the future development of the very promising Ethiopian mining industry.

Akobo Minerals has a clear strategy aimed at building a portfolio of gold resources through high-impact exploration and mining, while adhering to a lean business operation. The company is headquartered in Oslo and is listed on the Euronext Growth Oslo Exchange under the ticker symbol, AKOBO.

COMMENTS FROM THE CEO

The first quarter of 2022 proved to be a very positive start to the year, with many highlights. Our exploration team has been effective in completing the Segele infill and extension drill program, and our mining team made great advances in its work, all while having a strong ESG focus. Everything is moving forward as planned.

The first quarter of 2022 proved to be a very positive start to the year, with many highlights. Our exploration team has been effective in completing the Segele infill and extension drill program, and our mining team made great advances in its work, all while having a strong ESG focus. Everything is moving forward as planned.

In addition, we had a successful and well-attended ceremony to lay down the foundation stone for the Segele mine. This was a historic moment in the Gambella region as we will become the first gold mine in the region. Present at the ceremony were the Minister of Mining, Takele Uma; President of the Gambella region, Omod Ojulu; members of parliament and other representatives from the Gambella regions; as well as staff and friends. The significant attendance showed solid local and national support for the project and, just like us, they have high expectations for the great success of the project. Our operations, alongside the opening of our airstrip, will have positive ramifications for the whole region, over time.

Most importantly, we secured the renewal of our exploration license for a new period of up to ten additional years. In combination with our mining

license, we now have a clear direction for our operations for many years and can plan and invest with that in mind.

We have already seen a noticeable effect from the hiring of Cathryn MacCallum as our Head of ESG (environment, social and governance). A local ESG team is in place and expanding, at the same time as community engagement is improving. New community initiatives have begun, and the environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) was completed and approved. As we move closer to the start-up of mining activities, our ESG team will work closely with local communities to ensure a safe and secure start-up for all parties.

The 100th hole at Segele was drilled and marked the completion of our current drill program. As we now know from the updated Mineral Resource Estimate received after the end of the first quarter, it has been highly successful, with a gold concentration so high it is rarely seen in the industry. With visible gold seen at a record depth of 280 m, the ore is still open and will secure additional life-of-mine. In addition, promising new targets have been identified in the vicinity of the Segele ore.

We have worked tirelessly to advance the development of our mine operations. Negotiations with both plant providers and mining contractors was our main focus. Simultaneously, we worked on infrastructure, geotechnical drilling and camp upgrades. With the support and cooperation of the government and local authorities, solid progress is being made.

Our world-class consultants continue to work with us on all aspects of the mine set-up. We are now considering new ideas to access the ore body more swiftly and to increase production, whilst ensuring that safety is first and foremost.

The political situation remained stable during the first quarter and we have sustained operations without significant interruptions. Travel activity continues as normal and life in-camp is good. We have upgraded the whole camp to solar power, and continuous improvements are being made.

6

The gold price was volatile in the first quarter, peaking at 2,074 USD per ounce - a historic high - and ending at 1,932 USD per ounce. We expect the gold price to maintain its volatility, but remain at or near high historic levels. The macro-economic outlook is uncertain and this will affect all parts of the economy. The demand for gold continues to be strong, so we expect to be less impacted than other growth-based sectors. However, we might face indirect challenges due to inefficiencies and hurdles in the general market.

All-in-all, the first quarter of 2022 was a busy one at an operational level, and our management and in-country team will be working hard to continue this success as we move into the second quarter of the year.

Yours sincerely,

Jørgen Evjen CEO, Akobo Minerals

FUTURE OUTLOOK

As we have finished the immediate drilling of the Segele ore, we are now looking forward to seeing how we can develop a wider exploration program. We have many targets to explore, both in the vicinity of Segele, but also in the wider area of the license. With the arrival of our new drill rigs we can be flexible and opportunistic in our approach. Even with our great results to date, we have only scraped the surface of a potential new gold district.

The road towards mining looks robust while realistic. The combination will be unique and strong. We are delivering on our strategy of becoming an exploration company supported by boutique mining cash flow.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

During the first quarter of 2022, Akobo Minerals submitted its Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) prepared for the Segele project by our Ethiopian consultancy partner - to the Government of Ethiopia for approval. The ESG team was recruited and the stakeholder engagement plan for all of our engagements was prepared to guide effective relationships with all of our stakeholders.

Following preparation during 2021 of the sustainable natural resources management plan (SNRMP) by Sazani Associates, implementation commenced at the beginning of 2022. Sazani Associates was contracted to provide ongoing technical support for this. In February a team of their consultants visited the site to carry out field work and to support a Multi Stakeholder Dialogue workshop in Dima town. More than 40 participants attended the workshop, representing federal through to local kabele (village community)-level government, artisanal miners, local businesses, education and training institutions, NGOs, indigenous Annuak Elders, women and youths.

The Dialogue was planned to create and support a space for meaningful conversation amongst the diverse range of stakeholders potentially interested

All of our successes will be a result of our commitment to our staff and to supporting the local community. This is why ESG underpins our business – today and tomorrow.

in or affected by the presence of Akobo Minerals' activities in the project area.

The intention was for the dialogue to inform and shape development of a formal planning and decision-making process regarding sustainable natural resource management of the Chamo kabele area. A wide range of perspectives were brought together and deliberated openly through a range of facilitated discussions on priority areas to focus on, structures to manage the process and desired outcomes. Following the success of the event, working groups will be established for the SNRMP actions.

In parallel, other projects in Ethiopia that had a similar or complementary focus were identified and a number of meetings were held with these

potential collaborating partners to agree shared priorities.

The combined efforts of the ESG team, from corporate through to community level, as well as the strategic relationships being developed with potential collaborating partners, are enabling Akobo Minerals to maintain a strategic and operational focus on ESG.

As head of ESG at Akobo Minerals, Dr Cathryn MacCallum has been responsible for building strong relations with the local community in the Akobo region.

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND RISK FACTORS

Corporate structure

Akobo Minerals (org.no 559148-1253) is headquartered in the municipality of Gothenburg in Västra Götaland County. The company has a wholly-owned Norwegian subsidiary, Abyssinia Resources Development AS ("ARD"). ARD, in turn, owns 99.97% of the Ethiopian subsidiary Etno Mining Plc. Etno Mining Plc is the sole holder of a gold exploration permit in the Akobo region of Ethiopia covering a 182 km2 area, as well as a large-scale gold and associated minerals mining license covering 16 km2 within the exploration license area.

Shares and shareholders

12

As of March 31, 2021, there were 42,512,606 issued Akobo Minerals shares. The shares are registered in a central securities depository register in accordance with the Swedish Central Securities Depositories and Financial Instruments Accounts Act (1998:1479). The register is managed by Euroclear Sweden AB, Box 191, SE-101 23 Stockholm. The company has also registered its share in the Norwegian VPS system.

The company's register of shareholders in VPS is administrated by the VPS Registrar, DNB Bank ASA, Registrars Department, Norway.

All shares, including the VPS shares, are freely transferable, meaning that a transfer of shares is not subject to the consent of the board of directors or any other corporate consents or rights of first refusal.

There are warrants outstanding in the company entitling the holders thereof to acquire 2,677,000 new shares. The strike price for the warrants is in the range SEK 2.5 to SEK 8.0, reflecting the current market price of the shares at the time of issuance.

There were no changes in the ownership structure in the first quarter of 2022. Pir Invest Holding AS, a company controlled by the chairman, is the only entity owning more than 10% of Akobo Minerals. Its ownership as of 31.03 was 12.8%.

Employees

Akobo Minerals had a total 46 full-time and 23 temporary employees as of March 31, 2022. 41 of the full-time employees are based in our exploration activity in Ethiopia; four in Scandinavia and one in the UK.

Risks related to the business and industry

Akobo Minerals operates in Ethiopia. This exposes Akobo Minerals to various political and economic risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties include government policies and legislation, governmental interventions, potential inflation and deflation, potential political, social, religious and economic instability.

Ethiopia is an emerging market and its economy differs in many respects from economies in more

developed countries, including economic structure, government, level of development, growth rates and foreign exchange controls. These factors may limit Akobo Minerals' ability to conduct its operations and obtain necessary financing, and therefore have a material negative impact on the company's financial position, results and prospects.

Risks related to health, safety and security

Certain of Akobo Minerals' operations are carried out under potentially hazardous conditions, which may cause the company to be responsible for severe injuries or death by employees, contractors and the general population.

The company operates in a remote environment and operates heavy machinery, and weather conditions may be extreme. Akobo Minerals is

subject to and intends to operate in accordance with applicable health and safety regulations. However, Akobo Minerals' operations may cause accidents or other misfortunes which inflict severe injuries or death on the Akobo Minerals' employees, contractors or the general population due to negligence or factors beyond Akobo Minerals' control. Such situations may lead to prosecution and loss of social acceptance. This may, in turn, lead to a reduction in exploration activity or mine production.

Currency exposure

The company is exposed to risk associated with foreign exchange risk and risk related to repatriation of capital

The company's accounts are held in SEK, the company raises capital in NOK, transfers funds into Ethiopia in USD and has its operating expenses in Ethiopian birr (ETB). In addition, there might not be US dollars available in Ethiopia for the exchange of ETB to USD for transferring funds out of Ethiopia. This foreign exchange exposure may have an adverse effect on the company's results, liquidity and financial position.

Akobo Minerals conducts its operation though its subsidiary in Ethiopia and is subject to exchange controls on injections and withdrawal of capital to and from Ethiopia. If foreign currency restriction were to be imposed on and enforced against Akobo Minerals, this could restrict Akobo Minerals' ability to repatriate future earnings from its operating subsidiary, payment on dividends and repayment on any future loan facilities. The imposition of foreign currency restrictions or restrictions related to repatriation of capital may have a materially adverse effect on Akobo Minerals' business, operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Liquidity and financial risk

Akobo Minerals may require additional financing to achieve its goals, and a failure to obtain necessary capital when needed could force Akobo Minerals to delay, limit, reduce or terminate its current projects. Akobo Minerals does not presently generate income to finance its operations and if additional financing is necessary to continue its operations the company will have to rely on external financing, such as bank loans, bonds or the issuance of shares. Adequate sources of funding may not be available to Akobo Minerals on favourable terms or at all. The company's ability to obtain funding will in part depend on the general market conditions, as well as the market perception of Akobo Minerals and its business. If Akobo Minerals is unable to obtain adequate financing when needed, it may have to delay, limit or abandon one or more of its projects, which may have an adverse effect of its business and operation and prospects.

AKOBO MINERALS AB (publ) — FIRST QUARTER REPORT 2022

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The company's accounts are prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and general advice from the Swedish Accounting Standards Board BFNAR 2012:1 Annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

The policies are unchanged compared with the previous year.

CLASSIFICATION

Fixed assets, long-term liabilities and provisions essentially consist only of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid after more than twelve months from the balance sheet date. Current assets and current liabilities essentially consist only of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

VALUATION PRINCIPLES

Assets, provisions and liabilities have been valued at acquisition value unless otherwise stated below.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets acquired by the company are reported at acquisition value less accumulated depreciation and writedowns. Expenses for internally generated goodwill and brands are reported in the income statement as an expense when they arise.

The company reports internally generated intangible fixed assets according to the capitalization model. All expenses relating to the development of an internally generated intangible fixed asset are capitalized and amortized during the asset's estimated useful life.

Depreciation

Depreciation takes place on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life. Depreciation is reported as an expense in the income statement.

2022 Group of companies
The following depreciation periods are applied:
Capitalized expenses for development and similar work 5

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

Tangible fixed assets are reported at acquisition value less accumulated depreciation and write-downs.

Depreciation

14

Depreciation takes place on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life, as it reflects the expected consumption of the asset's future economic benefits. Depreciation is reported as an expense in the income statement.

The following depreciation periods are applied:

2022 Group of companies Parent company
Tangible fixed assets:
Inventory, tools and installations 5 5

The difference between the above-mentioned depreciation and depreciation made for tax purposes is reported in the individual companies as accumulated overdepreciation, which is included in untaxed reserves.

IMPAIRMENT - TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND PARTICIPATIONS IN GROUP COMPANIES

At each balance sheet date, it is assessed whether there is any indication that an asset's value is lower than its carrying amount. If such an indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is calculated.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Items in foreign currency

Monetary items in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items are not recalculated but are reported at the exchange rate at the time of acquisition.

Net investments in foreign operations

An exchange rate difference that refers to a monetary item that forms part of a net investment in a foreign operation and that is valued on the basis of acquisition value is reported in the consolidated accounts as a separate component directly in equity.

Translation of foreign operations

Assets and liabilities, including goodwill and other consolidated surplus and deficit values, are translated into the reporting currency at the closing day rate. Income and expenses are translated at the spot rate per day for the business events unless a rate that is an approximation of the actual rate is used. Exchange rate differences that arise on translation are reported directly against equity.

FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are reported in accordance with Chapter 12 (Financial instruments valued in accordance with Chapter 4, Sections 14 a14 e of the Annual Accounts Act) in BFNAR 2012: 1.

Accounting in and removal from the balance sheet

A financial asset or financial liability is recognized in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the instrument's contractual terms.

A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the contractual right to cash flow from the asset has ceased or been settled. The same applies when the risks and rewards associated with the holding are essentially transferred to another party and the company no longer has control over the financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the agreed obligation has been fulfilled or terminated. Spot purchases and spot sales of financial assets are reported on the business day.

Classification and valuation

Financial assets and liabilities have been classified into different valuation categories in accordance with Chapter 12 of BFNAR 2012: 1. The classification into different valuation categories is the basis for how the financial instruments are to be valued and how changes in value are to be reported.

Loan receivables and accounts receivable

Loan receivables and accounts receivable are financial assets that have fixed or determinable payments, but which are not derivatives. These assets are valued at amortized cost. Accrued acquisition value is determined on the basis of the effective interest rate calculated at the time of acquisition. Accounts receivable are reported at the amount that is expected to be received, ie. after deductions for doubtful receivables.

Other financial liabilities

Loans and other financial liabilities, e.g. accounts payable, are included in this category. Liabilities are valued at accrued acquisition value.

Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency

Currency futures are used to hedge receivables or liabilities against exchange rate risk. For hedging against currency risk, hedge accounting is not applied because a financial hedge is reflected in the accounts in that both the underlying receivable or the liability and the hedging instrument are reported at the balance sheet date's exchange rate and the exchange rate changes are reported in profit for the year. Exchange rate changes regarding operating receivables and liabilities are reported in operating profit, while exchange rate changes regarding financial receivables and liabilities are reported in net financial items.
