Accumulated

Q3-25

  • Stable production maintained while shaft development continues
  • Close mining areas require a controlled blasting approach
  • Higher output is technically possible but not pursued during shaft construction
  • No additional financing needed to complete the current development plan

Shaft commissioning significantly increases haulage capacity, enabling monthly revenues of approximately USD 5–7m by mid-2026*

Ethiopia – positive investment climate

  • Government reforms supporting mining, foreign investment and exportled growth
  • Mining recognised as a core pillar in national economic development
  • Constructive dialogue with government to finalise the two remaining enabling elements for the mining industry, based on the license agreement and the new mining directives:
  • Offshore account opening
  • Export license
  • Broader economic reforms:
  • Opening of the banking sector
  • Progress on currency float
  • IMF/World Bank cooperation framework
  • Growing financial markets and upcoming stock exchange
  • Large domestic market of 110–120 million people, with strong long-term growth prospects

Vertical shaft development

  • Development progressing and on budget
  • Planned operational readiness end Q1 2026, followed by a ramp-up period until mid-2026
  • Significant operational leverage as fixed costs remain largely unchanged at higher throughput
  • During ramp-up, both winzes and the shaft will operate to maximise production and cash flow
  • The vertical shaft will replace the current tunnels, improving efficiency and reducing operating costs

Key specifications

  • Hoisting capacity: 100–150 tons/day (vs. 10–20 tons/day from current winzes)
  • Skip system: two carts, 1.5 tons each (3 tons per trip)
  • Primary uses: personnel transport and ore/waste haulage
  • Shaft dimensions: 2.5 m x 2.0 m

Current operations – mining & processing

Mining Operations

  • Consistent mining activity maintained across all working days
  • Development advancing in the eastern winze, opening access to deeper ore zones
  • Continued focus on optimising ore blending to ensure stable plant feed and gold output
  • Ongoing development work supporting the transition to shaft-based mining

Processing Plant

  • Gravity recovery circuit operating well, with continued optimization
  • Two new shaking tables in full operation
  • Regular plant cleanup continues to improve gold recovery from legacy material
  • Additional smelting equipment (including the high-speed induction furnace) being brought online to support higher throughput
  • Concentrate production remains stable, preparing for increased volumes once the shaft is commissioned

Current operations – site, infrastructure and community

Site and Infrastructure

  • Preparations for grid connection progressing, enabling long-term reduction in diesel use
  • Camp upgrades ongoing, supporting a workforce of more than 200 employees
  • Laboratory and office buildings nearing completion, improving operational efficiency
  • Construction of the new ore stockpile yard advancing to support higher production levels
  • Continued preparation of the tailings facility for future CIL startup

Community

  • Road improvement work underway, supporting both operational logistics and local community access
  • Water access initiatives progressing in nearby villages
  • Ongoing strengthening of site safety systems, access control and staff training

Exploration strategy and next steps

Exploration Restart

  • Renewed focus on exploration, with mining operations providing the platform for long-term value creation
  • Gilo licence approved by the Ministry of Mines and Gambella region; awaiting final sign-off from the local administration
  • Arctic Drilling on site to repair and recommission the drill rig, enabling drilling to restart
  • Exploration activities to be progressively ramped up through 2026

Strategic Focus Areas

  • Ethiopia remains under-explored despite strong geological fundamentals
  • Akobo operates in a favourable greenstone belt with clear firstmover advantage
  • Gingibil–Joru corridor shows typical quartz-vein gold mineralisation, consistent with large-scale systems

Looking ahead

  • Completion of the vertical shaft, enabling higher and more stable production
  • Controlled ramp-up supported by improved haulage efficiency
  • Access to deeper zones and additional ore bodies
  • Restart of near-mine drilling and initiation of the Gingibil–Joru drill program
  • Continued optimisation of plant performance and processing costs
  • Start of gold export
  • Strengthening operational and technical capacity for the next exploration – driven growth phase
  • Establishment of a structured multi-year exploration pipeline

Financial performance overview

All figures in mSEK

  • The company had revenues of SEK 22.8 million and an EBITDA of SEK 6.9 million for the quarter, covering its operational expenses
  • Operational related cost from Ethiopia is now booked as operational expense in the income statement

P&L Development Equity & Debt Development

  • The increase in debt reflects the higher gold price, as the value of the Monetary Metals gold loan is remeasured each quarter
  • At the same time, the higher gold price increases the value of the Segele deposit and strengthens future cash flow, but these positive effects do not appear in the financial statements, as the mineral asset is not revalued quarterly
