Solid and thorough exploration work over many years led to an updated resource estimate demonstrating an increased grade and tonnage, and world class gold grades.

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 environment (ESG) at the heart of its activities –

as demonstrated by a planned industry-leading community program.

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

As we continue on the path to gold production commencing in 2023, we have seen solid work right across the organisation. The first half year of 2022 has seen many positive triggers for the company, with a number of significant milestones being met.

At the beginning of the third quarter, we signed an agreement with the South African contractor, IW Mining, to run our mine in Segele. This follows considerable preparatory work with them over previous months to start sourcing necessary equipment and gather together a highly experienced team that will be working hard in the second half of the year to carry our mining operation forward to production phase.

We also finalised a deal with the South African company, Solo Resources, for delivery of the gold processing plant at Segele. Again, commissioning is expected during the first quarter 2023. The plant has been designed initially to process 10 tons of mass per hour, though processing will be able to double output as and when the mine operations expand.

The final piece in the jigsaw was securing the remaining part of the project finance, and in that respect we have made excellent progress. We spent considerable time over the last quarter sourcing a loan partner that truly understands our business and the innovative business model that we are pursuing. This was concluded in the last few weeks with the announcement that we have signed a mandate letter with an international debt arranger for a convertible loan of up to USD 8 million. We believe that this loan will provide Akobo Minerals with sufficient funding to complete all the necessary elements of our mining development, leading to production start-up in early 2023.

With mining and processing support secured with our partners, aligned with strong project finance, the final element necessary as we move towards the

production phase is - evidently - knowing that there is gold in our license area. And the second quarter saw great news in this respect when we released an updated mineral resource estimate for the Segele deposit. The results from our resource partner, SRK, show a significant increase of 31 percent in gold ounces, as well as a world class gold grade of 40.6 gram per ton for indicated mineral resources. These numbers will mean an improved potential for high margin gold production in the early phase. The increase in ounces is derived from a rise in the tonnage and better than expected average gold grade than previously indicated in the resource area.

While still small numbers, I believe the potential in our license area is huge. In hand with the improved resource estimate, every day our team is continuing to gain further understanding of the mineralisation in the area. This new knowledge will make us even more capable of discovering new targets and deposits in the highly prospective Segele area. And, undoubtedly, at some point this will be mined.

Following the release of our resource estimate and good visibility of cost elements for our operations, during the second quarter we announced our first ever cash flow forecast for the first two years of production. The model shows a highly profitable mine operation with an estimated free cash flow of USD 50 million up to the end of 2024, based upon an average gold price of USD 1,800 per ounce for the period. With more targets being explored and the fact that the ore body is open at depth, I am confident that highly profitable mining operations will continue well beyond this period.

While our efforts in the last quarter have focused on the set-up of our mining and processing operation, less exploration drilling took place than during previous periods – and though we now have increased drill capacity, it has so far not been put into action. Despite this, some promising new targets have been identified in the vicinity of the Segele ore. This augurs well for us as we put in place a new drilling program for the second half of the year and into 2023.

As ever, ESG initiatives continue to be at the heart of our operations in the region. As an example, in the second quarter we hosted a multi-stakeholder meeting to bring together the host community and potential collaborators to explain our gold mining operation and our contribution to the region through our sustainable natural resources management plan (SNRMP). This meeting proved to be a great opportunity to initiate dialogue with local

6

representatives, to share the findings from our recent environmental and social impact assessment (ESIA) and to agree how Akobo Minerals can contribute to the sustainable development of the area's natural resources.

The first half of 2022 has seen the organisation grow and key personnel hired. A solid management group is in place in-country - supported by executives in Scandinavia – which is ready to drive us forward and make an impact as the first new gold producing company in Ethiopia since Legadembi some 20 years ago.

The political situation has remained stable for a long period, and we are confident of there soon being a long-term peaceful solution that will allow Ethiopia to return to its path of economic growth and prosperity. We will participate in helping to develop the mining industry - a key focus area for the country over the next decade.

Yours sincerely,

Jørgen Evjen CEO, Akobo Minerals

FUTURE OUTLOOK

The future undoubtedly looks bright for Akobo Minerals as we tick off the milestone events on our journey towards first gold. We are preparing to break ground for the Segele mine and construct the processing plant, with all the excitement that comes with this.

The focus for us will be on developing and commencing the mine in a safe and environmentally friendly way. In parallel, we will increase our exploration activities that were reduced in recent months – we are certainly looking forward to getting our increased drill capacity into our operations.

This will allow us to explore new areas with nearby exploration. We will continue to hire and train employees and solidify our position as the leading exploration and mining company in Ethiopia. New ESG initiatives will also be launched and implemented.

The first half of 2022 has been a lot of hard work and I know the second half of the year will be no different. But the exceptional efforts of every employee that makes up the Akobo Minerals team means we are ready for the next phase - becoming a mining company and generating positive cash flow.

SEGELE MINE

The Segele Mine took several large steps towards production during the second quarter. Based on the work done, Akobo Minerals secured key contracts with highly experienced process plant and mining specialists. The partnerships developed have significantly de-risked the Segele Mine Project and have set the stage for further acceleration.

The ongoing success of the development of the Segele Mine was enshrined with the formal laying of the foundation stone by Minister or Mines Takele Uma. This event was a major milestone in the development of not only Akobo Minerals, but the Gambela region and the local area.

The second quarter of 2022 saw a change in pace in the development of Akobo Minerals with the appointment of Solo Resources (Pty) Ltd as the processing plant contractor. Solo hit the ground running with field visits, design work and the investigation of sub-contractors starting the moment the contract was signed. Solo will supervise installation and commissioning of the plant in Q1 2023. Solo has a strong track record having been instrumental in 31 plants, whereas 11 of the plants are the same type as being produced for Segele.

Major progress was made during the quarter in the negotiation of a mining contract to provide the equipment and expertise needed for extracting the ore from underground. After the completion of a tendering process, IW Mining (Pty) Ltd was selected to advance to contracting and in Q3 a contract was signed. As a contractor, IW Mining Services has delivered a wide range of services such a Conveyor Belt installation, Drop Raise training, Face Advance improvement, Equipment reclamation and Underground Mining stoping and development to a number of the major Mining Houses in South Africa over the past seven years.

A small reorganisation of ETNO Mining Plc was also carried out within the period in order to allow the company to set the company up for smooth operation. A highly experienced Mine Manager was recruited who is now leading the technical company development in-country.

EXPLORATION ACTIVITES

In exploration a major milestone was achieved early in the quarter with the completion of the updated resource estimation for Segele. Following this, the pace of exploration drilling was reduced, and drilling was only conducted with the in house Diamec 262 for most of the period. At Segele we tested several near mine targets identified during trenching. In addition, a cross section of holes was drilled west of the deposit to improve the geological understanding of the mine area.

While drilling the geological section several holes intersected a small fault system and in one of these intersections visible gold was identified. The scale and grade of this mineralisation is yet unknown, but additional drilling will start in Q4 2022 to follow up and evaluate the mineralisation.

Another major focus has been on geotechnical drilling for the inclined shaft to the Segele Mine. In total 6 holes were drilled to investigate rock quality in the planned area for the shaft. The drill core from these holes have been logged in detail by the company's geologists and the results are being evaluated by our geotechnical consultants in South Africa.

After the completion of the geotechnical drilling, another three holes were drilled at the proposed plant site to investigate the geology and to ensure that we do not build the plant on mineralised ground.

In regional exploration both a soil sampling program and a ground magnetic survey has been conducted around Segele. The soil sampling program collected 249 samples to the SW of Segele and the results are anticipated in Q4 2022.

The ground magnetic survey was launched during Q2 with the intent to cover the entire Segele mining license with high quality magnetic data. The entire survey area is 16 km2 and due to the growth of the elephant grass, the progress was slower than anticipated and the survey has continued into Q3. In conjunction with this a Magnetoteluric survey was conducted on the Segele mineralisation to evaluate if the method can detect the structures around the mineralisation and hence be used to improve targeting of future exploration.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE

During the second quarter of 2022, Akobo Minerals prepared a gap analysis of the ESIA approved by the Government of Ethiopia against Good International Industry Practice. A series of workshops have been delivered by our Head of ESG to support preparation of an Environmental and Social Management Plan. Capacity building training was also delivered to the new ESG team to support stakeholder engagement, environmental monitoring as well as implementation of the Sustainable Natural Resources Management Plan (SNRMP).

Sazani Associates continue to provide technical support to the SNRMP implementation and have developed a series of guides and training for the different elements, focussing on education and community awareness, livelihoods and training and our 'Green Gold' payment for ecosystem services initiative. A 'Sustainable Chamo' working group has been established and supported to identify their environmental health priorities using a research method called Photovoice. Using simple digital cameras, community representatives captured images of their priorities, with an accompanying narrative describing their respective images. It is anticipated that these findings, once analysed will

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.

guide the environmental awareness for the Ethiopian new year activities in the community. It is also anticipated that the community will select 14 of the images they took to prepare desk calendars for the Ethiopian new year in September.

Discussions are ongoing with the Dimma polytechnic, Jimma University and a number of International Non Governmental organisations (INGOs) to develop strategic collaborations to further support SNRMP implementation.

Building on initial discussions with the unlicenced artisanal gold miners present within our licence area, a letter of intent was prepared, paving the way for a principled negotiated settlement, to compensate them for their loss of livelihoods.

The continued 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.

Financial information

Per 30 June 2022

Group & Parent company

CORPORATE STRUCTURE AND RISK FACTORS

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 largescale gold and associated minerals mining license covering 16 km2 within the exploration license area.

Shares and shareholders

As of June 30, 2022 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 half 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 30.06 was 12.8%.

Employees

Akobo Minerals had a total 51 full-time and 36 temporary employees as of June 30, 2022. 46 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.

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 to the previous year.

CLASSIFICATION

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.
