INORGANIC GROWTH PIPELINE – M&A

PERSEUS MINING LIMITED PERSEUSMINING.COM

24

OVERVIEW OF APPROACH TO M&A

  • An active watching brief is maintained on all levels of the gold industry on the African continent

  • Aim is to identify opportunities consistent with Perseus’s corporate plan of building a multi-mine, geopolitically diverse asset portfolio, (3-4 sustainable operations, 10+ year mine lives, combined Ore Reserves >10Moz) that generates material benefits for stakeholders

  • Preferred acquisition targets are at pre-development stage, allowing value creation through deployment of in-house teams to undertake FEED, development and then operations

  • Acquisition of existing operations are also considered but opportunity must exist for Perseus to create value through efficient operation or other business improvement initiatives

  • In terms of geography, the risk/reward equation is fundamental to all acquisitions. We will assume incremental risk by acquiring assets in new jurisdictions but must be adequately rewarded for assuming this incremental risk

  • Perseus has a successful track record of growing our Ore Reserve and Mineral Resource inventory through successful M&A including the following transactions:

  • 2016 – Amara Mining Plc (Yaouré Gold Project)

  • 2019 – Exore Resources Limited (Bagoé Gold Project)

  • 2022 – Orca Gold Inc (Meyas Sand Gold Project)
