Appendix 1: Kouri Mineral Resource

Material Type Measured Measured Indicated Indicated Inferred Inferred Total Total Total
Tonnes Gold Tonnes Gold Tonnes Gold Tonnes Gold Gold
Mt g/t Mt g/t Mt g/t Mt g/t Ounces
Oxide - - 0.5 1.4 2.7 1.3 3.2 1.3 130,000

TOTAL - - 7.0 1.4 43 1.2 50 1.3 2,000,000

Notes:

1. Totals may differ due to rounding to significant figures to reflect the relative uncertainty of the estimate. Rounding may cause some computational discrepancies. Mineral Resource estimates are not precise calculations, being dependent on the interpretation of limited information on the location, shape and continuity of the occurrence and on the available sampling results.

2. Mineral Resources reported on a dry in-situ basis at a 0.5g/t Au cut-off and constrained to the limit of an optimised USD 1,900/oz consensus forward gold price pit shell, based on a gravity/CIL processing route and typical West African open pit mining costs.

3. Reporting cut-off grade within the pit shell was selected by RPM based on the parameters defined by a high level mining study conducted by independent consultants and updated in 2020 plus recent testwork by Golden Rim which supports reasonable expectations of processing via the carbon-in-leach (CIL) route. The selected economic cut-off grade for the Kouri Mineral Resource was 0.5g/t Au. It is based on a CIL processing route, assumed metallurgical recoveries of 95%, Base mining cost of USD3.68/t for fresh waste and USD4.21/t for ore. Processing, GA and additional (to waste dump disposal) costs of USD18.80/t and a consensus forward gold price of USD1,625/oz.

4. The Statement of Estimates of Mineral Resources has been compiled by Mr David Allmark who is a full-time employee of RPM and a Member of the AIG. Mr Allmark has sufficient experience that is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity that he has undertaken to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the JORC Code (2012).

5. All Mineral Resources figures reported in the tables above represent estimates at 19 October 2020.

6. Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code – JORC 2012 Edition). 7. The Indicated Mineral Resource was defined within areas of close spaced diamond and RC drilling of equal or less than 50m by 50m, and where the continuity and predictability of the lode positions was good. The Inferred Mineral Resource was assigned to areas where drill hole spacing was greater than 50m by 50m and up to a maximum spacing of 100m by 50m; where small isolated pods of mineralisation occur outside the main mineralised zones, and to geologically complex zones.

Notes

  • Mineral Resource compiled by Mining One Consultants in May 2017 in accordance with the 2012 Edition of the JORC Code.

  • Tonnages and grades are rounded to 2 significant figures. Discrepancies in totals may exist due to rounding.

  • The resources were reported above a 6% Zn Eq cut-off grade.

  • The Zinc Equivalent (Zn Eq) grades were calculated using the following formula: Zn Eq%= (Zn %) + (Pb %0.64) + (Ag %350.4) + (Au %*25,029).

  • The Silver Equivalent (Ag Eq) grades were calculated using the following formula: Ag Eq g/t = (Ag g/t) + (Zn g/t * 0.0021) + (Pb g/t * 0.0016) + (Au g/t * 64.27)

  • The metal prices used for the zinc & silver equivalent formula were: Zinc - $US 1.082/lb; Lead - $US 0.867/lb; Silver – $US 28.89/oz; and Gold - $US 2,063/oz (prices at 7 August 2020).

  • The metallurgical recoveries included in the zinc equivalent formula were the non-optimised metallurgical recoveries were derived from previous test work at Patricia and include 82%, 80% and 90% for zinc, lead and silver respectively. For gold a 90% recovery has been assumed, which Golden Rim believes is a reasonable average for an epithermal style of deposit.

  • It is Golden Rim’s opinion that all elements included in the metal equivalent calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold.

  • Details on the Paguanta Mineral Resource are provided in ASX Announcement dated 30 May 2017 “New Resource Estimation for Paguanta”.
