FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
DIRECTORS' REPORT
The Directors present their report on the consolidated entity (referred to hereafter as the Group) consisting of Perseus Mining Limited (Perseus or the Company) and its controlled entities for the year ended 30 June 2025 (the year or FY25). Perseus is a company limited by shares that is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Unless noted otherwise, all amounts stated within the Directors' Report are expressed in United States dollars.
DIRECTORS
The following persons were Directors of Perseus during the year and up to the date of this report:
| Mr Richard Peter Menell | Non-Executive Chairman |
|---|---|
| Mr Jeffrey Allan Quartermaine | Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer |
| Ms Amber Jemma Banfield | Non-Executive Director |
| Ms Elissa Sarah Cornelius | Non-Executive Director |
| Mr Daniel Richard Lougher | Non-Executive Director |
| Mr John Francis Gerald McGloin | Non-Executive Director |
| Mr James Edmund Rutherford | Non-Executive Director (appointed 19 June 2025) |
FINANCIAL RESULTS
The Group recorded a net profit after tax of US$421.7 million for the year, compared to a net profit after tax of US$364.8 million in the previous financial year representing a US$56.9 million improvement in performance. This result is predominantly due to the following key items:
- An increase in revenue resulting from higher gold prices, despite the slight decrease in gold production arising from lower production at Edikan and Sissingué;
- An increase in cost of sales due to higher mining costs and higher royalties from an increased gold price, partially offset by slightly lower production during the year relative to FY24;
- An income tax expense of US$142.7 million compared to a US$102.3 million expense in the prior year due to profits at Edikan, coupled with withholding taxes on intercompany dividends paid out of Côte d'Ivoire;
- Depreciation and amortisation expense of US$153.8 million, which is a 8% increase from the previous financial year;
- Other expenses increase due to once-off restructuring costs of US$18.1 million relating to the transition of Edikan employees from permanent to fixed term contracts; and
- Interest income earned on available cash balances of US$16.1 million, which is a US$4.6 million increase on FY24.
A total of US$536.7 million or 39.57 cents per share of operating cashflow was generated during the year, contributing to cash and bullion at year-end of US$826.5 million (30 June 2024: US$587.2 million), with no outstanding debt. The increase in cash and bullion during the period was achieved mainly due to higher gold price.
At 30 June 2025, the Company's net tangible assets amounted to US$1,900.5 million, or US$1.40 per share, approximately 52% more than at the end of the prior financial year.

CASH, BULLION AND INVESTMENTS
Based on the 30 June 2025 spot gold price of US$3,288 per ounce (30 June 2024: US$2,331 per ounce), the total value of cash and bullion on hand at the end of the year was US$826.5 million (30 June 2024: US$587.2 million), including cash of US$751.8 million (30 June 2024: US$536.9 million) and 22,722 ounces of bullion on hand (30 June 2024: 21,570 ounces), valued at US$74.7 million (30 June 2024: US$50.3 million).
DEBT FINANCE
Perseus refinanced its existing syndicated debt facility to a US$300 million revolving corporate facility in FY23, provided by a banking consortium consisting of six international banks comprising Macquarie Bank Limited from Australia; Nedbank Limited (acting through its Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking Division); Absa Bank (Mauritius) Limited; Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch; FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank Division); and Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (Isle of Man Branch). This facility remains undrawn and expires in March 2026.
FINANCIAL POSITION
At 30 June 2025, the Group had net assets of US$2,209.6 million (30 June 2024: US$1,780.0 million) and an excess of current assets over current liabilities of US$769.8 million (30 June 2024: US$544.1 million). The Group's net assets increased compared with the prior year predominantly due to an increase in its cash as a result of its strong operating margin, as well as an increase in its inventory balances, due to a build-up of stockpiles.

PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
1. PRINCIPLES USED TO DETERMINE THE NATURE AND AMOUNT OF REMUNERATION
Remuneration and Nomination Committee
The Remuneration and Nomination Committee (the Committee) assists the Board to fulfill its responsibilities to shareholders and other stakeholders by ensuring the group has remuneration policies for fairly and competitively rewarding executives with the overall objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the retention of a high-quality board and executive management team. The Committee's decisions on reward structures are based on the state of the market for experienced resources industry executives, remuneration packages for executives and employees performing comparative roles in other companies in the resources industry and the size and complexity of the group. The Committee comprises three Non-Executive Directors, the majority of whom are independent.
The Committee is primarily responsible for making recommendations to the Board on:
- Non-Executive Directors' fees;
- executive remuneration (Managing Director and KMP); and
- the over-arching executive remuneration framework and incentive plan policies.
For further information on the Remuneration Committee's role, responsibilities and membership the reader is referred to the Committee's charter which is available on www.perseusmining.com/corporate-governance.
Use of remuneration advisors
Independent remuneration consultants are engaged by the Committee from time to time to ensure the group's remuneration system and reward practices are consistent with current market practices. During the year, the group engaged Mercer Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd and The Reward Practice Pty Ltd. During the financial year ended 30 June 2025, advice was sought from both suppliers to benchmark executive and Non-Executive remuneration in line with market practice, shareholder views and the needs of the business. Instructions and scope of terms for the engagements were issued by management. All recommendations were provided directly to the Chair of the Remuneration Committee by the consultants. Total fees payable to Mercer for remuneration-related engagements during the year were A$104,800 and to The Reward Practice, A$18,000.
Policy on Directors' and other senior executives' remuneration
Adjustments were made to executive remuneration from 1 July 2025:
i) fixed salaries of the executives were benchmarked against Perseus's peers and adjustments were made commencing 1 July 2025.
Perseus's Non-Executive Director remuneration policy aims to reward the Directors fairly and responsibly with regards to the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the Directors. It seeks to set aggregate remuneration of Non-Executive Directors at a level which provides Perseus with the ability to attract and retain Directors of the highest calibre, whilst incurring a cost which is acceptable to shareholders.
With the assistance of external remuneration consultants, from time to time the Committee reviews the annual fees paid to Non-Executive Directors and makes recommendations to the Board. A review of Non-Executive Director fees was commissioned during the year with the assistance of Mercer Consulting (Australia) Pty Ltd and recommendations were implemented from 1 July 2025.
Any equity components of Non-Executive Directors' remuneration, including the issue of performance rights, are required to be approved by shareholders prior to award. At present, there is no equity component to the remuneration of the Non-Executives.
Directors' fee limits
The aggregate amount of fees payable to Non-Executive Directors is subject to periodic review and approval by shareholders. The maximum amount of Directors' fees that is currently approved for payment to Non-Executive Directors is A$2,000,000, a limit that was approved by shareholders at the 2024 Annual General Meeting.

Notes:
1. Since fees are denominated in A$, this table is presented in A$ to prevent the period-on-period fluctuations that would result were these disclosed in US$.
Directors' retirement benefits
No retirement benefits are paid to Non-Executive Directors other than the statutory superannuation contributions (if applicable) of 11.5% for the year ending 30 June 2025, required under Australian superannuation guarantee legislation.
2. EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION STRUCTURE
Perseus aims to reward its Managing Director and other senior executives with a level of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within the Group. In doing so, it aims to:
- provide competitive rewards that attract, retain and motivate high calibre executives;
- align executive rewards with the achievement of strategic objectives and performance of the group and the creation of value for shareholders;
- ensure total remuneration is competitive and reasonable; and
- comply with applicable legal requirements and appropriate standards of governance.
In consultation with external remuneration consultants, the Group has developed an executive remuneration framework that is market competitive and is consistent with the reward strategy of the organisation.
The executive remuneration framework has two components, namely:
- fixed salary package including base salary and benefits such as superannuation; and
- variable remuneration (short-term and long-term incentives).
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
FINANCIAL REPORT (CONTINUED)
Fixed salary package
The fixed component of an executive's remuneration comprises base salary and retirement contributions. The size of the executive's salary package is based on the scope of each executive's role, the level of knowledge, skill and experience required to satisfactorily perform the role and the individual executive's performance in the role. The proportion of an executive's total fixed salary package that is paid as superannuation is at the executive's discretion, subject to compliance with relevant superannuation guarantee legislation.
The Committee annually reviews each executive's performance and benchmarks the executive's salary package against appropriate market comparisons using information and advice provided by external consultants. There are no guarantees of salary increases included in any executive's employment contract.
Variable remuneration
The objective of providing a variable "at risk" component within the Managing Director's and other senior executives' total remuneration packages is to directly align a proportion of their remuneration to achievement of the group's financial and strategic objectives with the objective of creating shareholder wealth. The Group has a remuneration framework which sets out the basis of short-term incentives (STI) and long-term incentives (LTI), these are discussed further below.
Receipt of variable remuneration in any form is not guaranteed under any executive's employment contract.
The remuneration of the Managing Director and senior executives including both fixed and variable remuneration components for the year ended 30 June 2025 is detailed in Table 2.
Short-term incentives (STI)
The STI is the annual component of the "at risk" reward opportunity, which takes the form of a solely cash bonus. The STI is reliant on the achievement of job related KPIs, both financial and non-financial, over a mix of group and individual targets. The objective of a STI is to align the performance of the individual to the short term operational and financial objectives of the group.
After the Board evaluates and approves the Group's operating budget for the forthcoming financial year, a series of physical, financial and business sustainability targets are set. These are used to determine the KPIs of the CEO and other executives, their direct reports and so on down the organisation structure.
These performance measures are chosen to represent the key drivers of short-term success for the Group with reference to the group's long-term strategy. STI payments for the year to 30 June 2025 were accrued at 30 June 2025 as determined by the Board on recommendation of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee with due regard to the performance of the group and the respective individuals throughout the financial year.
For the year ended 30 June 2025, the CEO had a target STI opportunity of up to 75% of fixed remuneration, whilst other KMP had a target STI opportunity of 40% or 50% of fixed remuneration dependent on job grade.
KPIs were determined in two discrete groups: Group KPIs and Personal KPIs. These KPIs and the weighting placed on each indicator for each individual differed depending on the role performed in the group, weightings for the CEO and other KMP are shown below.
| TARGET STI AS A PERCENTAGE OF FIXED REMUNERATION | ALLOCATION FACTOR | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| GROUP KPIS | PERSONAL KPIS | ||
| Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer | 75% | 100% | 0% |
| Other KMP | 40% – 50% | 80% | 20% |

Group KPIs
Group KPIs included achievement of defined targets relative to board-approved budget relating to gold production, sustainability and weighted average All In Site Cost (AISC) as well as targeted earnings per share, share price, achievement of defined sustainability objectives and reserve growth.
| MEASURE | WEIGHTING | THRESHOLD | STIP TARGET | STRETCH | RESULT | % ACHIEVEMENT | WEIGHTED RESULT |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Individual Performance^{6} | 20% | Individual Assessment |
Notes:
1. The production outcome achieved across the Perseus Group represented a strong operational result.
2. Cost performance across the Group was above expectations, with all sites delivering weighted average production costs better than the target set for FY25, except for Sissingué.
3. This measure is a synthesis of nine different metrics. % of GOLD Interactions completed = 148% (Threshold = 80%, Target =100% Stretch = 140%), Critical Control Verifications =150% (Threshold = 75%, Target = 95%, Stretch = 115%), TRIFR = 0.60 (Threshold = 1.24, Target = 1.03, Stretch = 0.82), Fatalities = 0 (Threshold = 0, Target = 0, Stretch = 0). The Community Events, Environmental Events and Government Compliance metrics were all above Target.
4. Strong Group production performance, financial management and commodity prices saw an exceptional performance in notional cashflow of the Group, achieving US$650 million, above the target set for FY25.
5. Threshold set at closing price on 30 June 2024, Target equals 20% increase in share price over the financial year. Result is calculated using the 20-day value weighted average period at the close of trading on 30 June 2025.
6. All employees have a personal component of the STIP scorecard, with the exception of the CEO who was measured on 100% of business performance.
Personal KPIs
Personal KPIs were tailored to the individual with regard to their role in the group and included physical, financial and social licence parameters where relevant to the performance of their specific function as well as qualitative assessment of effort applied, leadership, communications, risk management etc. on a personal level.
Performance was measured on the basis of achievement of targets, 30% at Threshold up to 150% for exceeding Stretch. Personal performance was ranked on a scale from 0 to 150%, with 50% or below being unsatisfactory and above 125% being excellent. Each individual had a performance review conducted to measure performance against set Personal KPIs. A score of below 90% excluded the individual from any STI award. STI award is paid solely in cash for all eligible employees.

Performance outcome
The Board then, on recommendation of the Remuneration Committee and, after consideration of performance against KPIs and recommendation from the CEO, determined the amount (if any) of the STI to be paid to each executive.
STI payments were awarded after the conclusion of the assessment period and confirmation of financial results/individual performance for all eligible participants to the extent they reached the specific targets that were set at the beginning of the financial year. The cash bonuses are inclusive of superannuation.
The STI for the financial year ended 30 June 2025 was accrued in June 2025 and will be paid in September 2025. These STI payments as a percentage of total remuneration in the financial year ended 30 June 2025 were as follows:
| Jeffrey Quartermaine | 30% |
|---|---|
| Lee-Anne de Bruin | 27% |
| Amanda Weir | 0% |
| Jacob Ricciardone | 25% |
| Martijn Bosboom | 25% |
Long-term incentives (LTI)
The LTI is the "at risk" component that takes the form of an equity-based incentive designed to attract, motivate and retain high quality employees at the same time as aligning their interests with those of the Group's shareholders. LTI awards are made under the Performance Rights Plan (PRP) which was approved by shareholders in November 2023 and give eligible employees rights to receive shares in Perseus subject to vesting conditions.
The Company uses both total shareholder return (TSR) and individual achievement of a personal KPI rating of 90% or more over the vesting period as the performance measure for the LTI. TSR was selected as the LTI performance measure as it links rewards of the executives to the creation of long-term shareholder wealth. Furthermore, vesting only occurs if the Group performs in the 50th percentile of its peer group or above. The greater the performance compared to the peer group, the greater the reward to the executive.
The vesting and measurement period for the rights is three years from the commencement of the period. The vesting schedule is as follows:
| RELATIVE TSR OVER THE VESTING PERIOD | PROPORTION OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS VESTED |
|---|---|
| Below the 50th percentile | 0% |
| At the 50th percentile | 50% |
| Between the 50th and the 75th percentile | Pro-rata between 50% and 100% |
| Above the 75th percentile | 100% |
TSR performance and individual KPI performance are monitored on an annual basis. If the hurdles are not achieved during the performance period, the rights lapse and no re-testing of rights is permitted, however this can be overturned at the discretion of the Board in certain circumstances. Table 7 provides details of rights awarded and vested during the year and Table 5 provides details of the value of rights awarded, exercised and lapsed during the year.
Where a participant ceases employment for any reason, any unvested rights will lapse and be forfeited, subject to the discretion of the Board in the case of death, disability, retirement, or redundancy. In the event of a change of control of the Group, all unvested rights automatically vest and are automatically exercised.

OTHER DISCLOSURES
INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND AUDITORS
Perseus's Constitution requires it to indemnify Directors and Officers of any entity within the Group against liabilities incurred to third parties and against costs and expenses incurred in defending civil or criminal proceedings, except in certain circumstances. The Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity, Access and Insurance (Deeds) with all persons who are an officer of the Company. Independent legal advice was received that the content of the Deeds conform with the Corporations Act 2001 and current market practice. The Directors and Officers of the Group have been insured against all liabilities and expenses arising as a result of work performed in their respective capacities, to the extent permitted by law. The contract of insurance prohibits the disclosure of the amount of the insurance premiums paid during the year ended 30 June 2025. The insurance premiums relate to:
- Costs and expenses incurred by the relevant officers in defending proceedings, whether civil or criminal and whatever the outcome
- Other liabilities that may arise from their position, with the exception of conduct involving a wilful breach of duty or improper use of information or position to gain a personal advantage
To the extent permitted by law, the Company has agreed to indemnify its auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), as part of the terms of its audit engagement agreement against claims by third parties arising from the audit (for an unspecified amount). No payment has been made to indemnify PwC during or since the financial year end.
PROCEEDINGS ON BEHALF OF THE COMPANY
No person has applied to the Court under section 237 of the Corporations Act 2001 for leave to bring proceedings on behalf of Perseus or to intervene in any proceedings to which Perseus is a party, for the purposes of taking responsibility on behalf of Perseus for all or part of the proceedings. No proceeding has been brought or intervened in on behalf of Perseus with leave of the Court under section 237 of the Act.
AUDITOR'S INDEPENDENCE DECLARATION
Section 307C of the Corporations Act 2001 requires our auditors, PwC, to provide the Directors of Perseus with an Independence Declaration in relation to the review of the financial report. This Independence Declaration is set out on page 54 and forms part of this Directors' report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
NON-AUDIT SERVICES
During the year PwC, the Group's auditor, performed other non-audit services in addition to statutory duties. The non-audit services provided do not undermine the general principles relating to auditor independence as set out in APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, as they did not involve reviewing or auditing the auditor's own work, acting in a management or decision-making capacity for the Group, acting as an advocate for the Group or jointly sharing risks and rewards. Further information is set out at note 19 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
The Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) Corporate Governance Council (CGC) has developed corporate governance principles and recommendations for listed entities with the aim of promoting investor confidence and meeting stakeholder expectations. ASX listing rule 4.10.3 requires that listed entities disclose the extent to which they have followed the CGC's recommendations and, where a recommendation has not been followed, the reasons why. Perseus's Corporate Governance Statement can be found on the Company's website at the following link:

COMPETENT PERSON STATEMENT
The information in the Annual Group Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources Statement is based on, and fairly represents information and supporting documentation prepared by Competent Persons in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code. The annual group Mineral Resources as a whole has been approved by Mr Daniel Saunders, a Competent Person who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Saunders is an employee of Perseus Mining. Mr Saunders has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' and to qualify as a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101). Mr Saunders consents to the inclusion in this report of the information in the form and context in which it appears. The annual group Ore Reserve as a whole has been approved by Mr Adrian Ralph, a Competent Person who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Mr Ralph is an employee of Perseus Mining. Mr Ralph has sufficient experience, which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity being undertaken, to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' and to qualify as a "Qualified Person" under NI 43-101. Mr Ralph consents to the inclusion in this report of the information in the form and context in which it appears.
All production targets referred to in this report are underpinned by estimated Ore Reserves which have been prepared by Competent Persons in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code.
The information in this report that relates to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve was updated by the Company in a market announcement "Perseus Mining updates Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves" released on 21 August 2025. The Company confirms that all material assumptions underpinning those estimates and the production targets, or the forecast financial information derived therefrom, in that market release continue to apply and have not materially changed.
The Company confirms that the material assumptions underpinning the estimates of Ore Reserves described in "Technical Report — Edikan Gold Mine, Ghana" dated 6 April 2022, "Technical Report — Yaouré Gold Project, Côte d'Ivoire" dated 18 December 2023, "Technical Report — Sissingué Gold Project, Côte d'Ivoire" dated 29 May 2015, and "Technical Report — Nyanzaga Gold Project, Tanzania" dated 10 June 2025 continue to apply.
Meyas Sand Gold (formerly Block 14) Project – Foreign/Historical Estimates
The information in this report that relates to the Mineral Resources and Probable Reserves of the Block 14 Project was first reported by the Company in a market announcement "Perseus Enters into Agreement to Acquire Orca Gold Inc." released on 28 February 2022. The Company confirms it is not in possession of any new information or data relating to those estimates that materially impacts the reliability of the estimate of the Company's ability to verify the estimate as a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve in accordance with Appendix SA (JORC Code) and the information in that original market release continues to apply and have not materially changed. These estimates are prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 standards and have not been reported in accordance with the JORC Code. A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to classify the resource in accordance with the JORC Code and it is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the estimate will be able to be reported as a Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve in accordance with the JORC Code. This report and all technical information regarding Orca's NI 43-101 have been reviewed and approved by Adrian Ralph and Daniel Saunders, each a Qualified Person for the purposes of NI 43-101.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
ABOUT THIS REPORT
These are the Consolidated Financial Statements (Financial Statements) of the consolidated entity consisting of Perseus Mining Limited and its subsidiaries (Perseus or the Group). Its registered office and principal place of business is disclosed in the Corporate Directory on page 1.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated in the notes. Perseus Mining Limited is a listed, for-profit public company, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. During the year ended 30 June 2025, the consolidated entity conducted operations in Australia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, United Arab Emirates, Tanzania and Sudan.
These general-purpose Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001. They also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). As such, they have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for where the accounting standards allow or require the measurement of amounts on an alternative basis.
The amounts contained in the Financial Statements are presented in United States dollars and have been rounded to the nearest US$1,000 (where rounding is applicable) where noted (US$'000) under the option available to the Group under Australian Securities Investment Commission (ASIC) Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors' Reports) Instrument 2016/191. This legislative instrument applies to the Group.
These Financial Statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 27 August 2025. The Directors have the power to amend and reissue the Financial Statements.
NEW AND AMENDED STANDARDS ADOPTED BY THE GROUP
A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards. Therefore, the accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including the expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the consolidated entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting will, by definition, seldomly equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed in the notes indicated below.

1. SEGMENT INFORMATION
(A) Description of segments
Management has determined the operating segments based on the reports reviewed by the Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors that are used to make strategic decisions.
The Group primarily reports based on a business segment basis as its risks and rates of return are affected predominantly by differences in the various business segments in which it operates and this is the format of the information provided to the Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors.
The Group operated principally in six segments in 2025 being Edikan, Sissingué, Yaouré, Sudan, Tanzania and Corporate / Other. The segment information is prepared in conformity with the Group's accounting policies.
The Group comprises the following main segments:
- Edikan Mining, mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities.
- Sissingué Mining, mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities.
- Yaouré Mining, mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities.
- Sudan Mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities.
- Tanzania Mineral exploration, evaluation and development activities.
- Corporate/Other Investing activities, mineral exploration, corporate management and inter-segment eliminations.
Revenue is derived from external customers arising from the sale of gold bullion reported under the Edikan, Sissingué and Yaouré reporting segments.
(B) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Senior Leadership Team and Board of Directors of the parent entity.

Accounting policy
Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as it accrues, using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs incurred for the construction of any qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed.
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Significant judgements and estimates
Impairment of assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units or CGU). The Group has three cash generating units, Edikan Gold Mine, the Sissingué Gold Mine and the Yaouré Gold Mine. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period. In determining whether the recoverable amount of each cash generating unit is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal or value-in-use against which asset impairment is to be considered, the Group undertakes future cash flow calculations which are based on a number of critical estimates and assumptions, and reflect the life of mine (LOM) operating and capital cost assumptions used in the Group's latest budget and LOM plans:
(a) Mine life including quantities of mineral Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources for which there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction with given technology;
(b) Estimated production and sale levels;
(c) Estimated future commodity prices are based on brokers' consensus forecasts;
(d) Future costs of production;
(e) Future capital expenditure;
(f) Future exchange rates; and/or
(g) Discount rates based on the Group's estimated before tax weighted average cost of capital, adjusted when appropriate to take into account relevant risks such as development risk etc.
Variations to expected future cash flows, and timing thereof, could result in significant changes to the impairment test results, which in turn could impact future financial results. The expected future cash flows of the cash generating units are most sensitive to fluctuations in the gold price.
At 30 June 2025 the Group determined that there was no external or internal indicator of impairment. This was due to the substantial increase in gold prices since the last impairment assessment was performed as well as the absence of any indication that the Edikan, Sissingué and Yaouré Gold Mines would not perform as expected in future periods. As a result, no impairment testing was conducted for the Edikan, Sissingué and Yaouré CGUs.
Unit-of-production method of depreciation / amortisation
The Group uses the unit-of-production basis when depreciating/amortising life of mine specific assets, which results in a depreciation/amortisation charge proportional to the depletion of the anticipated remaining life of mine production. Each item's economic life, which is assessed annually, has due regard to both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which it is located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves and estimates of future capital expenditure. The Group amortises mine property assets utilising tonnes of ore mined and mine related plant and equipment over tonnes of ore processed.
Deferred stripping expenditure
The Group defers stripping costs incurred during the production stage of its operations. Significant judgement is required to distinguish between production stripping that relates to the extraction of inventory and what relates to the creation of a deferred waste asset. The Group also identifies the separate components of the ore body. An identifiable component is a specific volume of the ore body that is made more accessible by the stripping activity. Significant judgement is required to identify these components, and to determine the expected volumes of waste to be stripped and ore to be mined in each component and a suitable production measure to be used to allocate production stripping costs between inventory and any stripping activity asset(s) for each component. The Group considers that the ratio of the expected waste to be stripped for an expected amount of ore to be mined, for a specific component of the ore body, is the most suitable production measure. Furthermore, judgements and estimates are also used to apply the units of production method in determining the amortisation of the stripping activity asset(s). Changes in a mine's life and design will usually result in changes to the expected stripping ratio (waste to mineral reserves ratio). Changes in other technical or economical parameters that impact reserves will also have an impact on the life of component ratio even if they do not affect the mine's design. Changes to the life of the component are accounted for prospectively.

Income tax expense is wholly attributable to profits from continuing operations. The tax losses are unrecognised, due to the lack of certainty over their recovery.
The Group has reviewed its corporate structure in light of the introduction of Pillar Two Model Rules in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. In all jurisdictions in which the Group operates either the effective tax rate is expected to be at least 15% for the year or the de minimis thresholds are applicable. The Group has determined that Pillar Two 'top-up' taxes will not be payable in the current period.
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Uncertain tax positions
The Group is subject to income taxes in multiple jurisdictions. In determining the income tax liabilities, management has not been required to estimate the amount of capital allowances and the deductibility of certain expenses in each tax jurisdiction.
The Group has open tax assessments with tax authorities at the balance sheet date. As management considers that the tax positions are supportable, the Group has not recognised any additional tax liability on these uncertain tax positions.
Accounting policy
The income tax expense or benefit for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the year in the countries where the Company's subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Significant judgements and estimates
Judgement is required in determining whether deferred tax assets are recognised on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from un-utilised tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Group will generate taxable earnings in future years, in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group to realise the net deferred tax assets recorded at the reporting date could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws in jurisdictions in which the Group operates could limit the ability of the Group to obtain tax deductions in future years.

Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net result attributable to owners of the parent, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for any bonus element.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(a) Trade and sundry debtors are non-interest bearing and generally on 30-day terms. At 30 June 2025, no amounts are past due (30 June 2024: no amounts).
(b) Other receivables relate to GST and VAT receivable throughout the Group. At 30 June 2025, US$28.7 million (30 June 2024: US$13.7 million) related to a net VAT refund receivable from the Ivorian Government in relation to operations at Fimbiasso. Perseus is awaiting the finalisation of the Fimbiasso mining convention, upon which it expects to recoup the VAT receivable balance in full.
(c) The security deposits are subject to a lien and are collateral for a bank guarantee issued to the environmental authorities of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire in relation to environmental rehabilitation provisions. In addition, the security deposits include bank guarantees required for VAT audits and claims submitted to the Ivorian Government.
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to approximate their fair value. Long-term receivables are evaluated by the Group based on parameters such as individual creditworthiness of the customer and specific country risk factors. The carrying amount of long-term receivables is assumed to approximate their fair value, as the security deposits that make up the long-term receivables have a market-based interest rate. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the end of the year is the carrying amount of each class of receivable mentioned above. Further information about the Group's exposure to these risks is provided in note 14.
The income tax receivable primarily relates to amounts paid as deposits or refundable from various tax authorities where the Group operates.

Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are generally due for settlement within 30 days. They are presented as current assets unless collection is not expected for more than 12 months after the reporting date. An allowance for doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Impairment of trade receivables is continually reviewed and those that are considered to be uncollectible are written off by reducing the carrying amount directly. The amount of the impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within other expenses.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the year-end which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in receivables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Accounting policy
Trade and other receivables
Gold bullion, gold in circuit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value.
Cost comprises direct material, direct labour and an appropriate proportion of variable and fixed overhead expenditure, the latter being allocated on the basis of normal operating capacity. Costs are assigned to individual items of inventory on the basis of weighted average costs in getting such inventories to their existing location and condition, based on weighted average costs incurred during the year in which such inventories were produced. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and costs of selling the final product.
Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts expected to be used in production are valued at weighted average cost. Obsolete or damaged inventories of such items are valued at net realisable value.
Significant judgements and estimates
Net realisable value tests are performed at least quarterly and represent the estimated future sales price of the product based on prevailing spot metals prices at the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, the number of contained gold ounces based on assay data, and the estimated recovery percentage based on the expected processing method. Stockpile tonnages are verified by periodic surveys.

Assets under construction
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified as 'assets under construction' and disclosed as a component of property, plant and equipment.
All subsequent expenditure incurred in the construction of a mine by, or on behalf of the Group, is accumulated separately for each area of interest in which economically recoverable reserves have been identified. This expenditure includes net direct costs of construction and borrowing costs capitalised during construction. On completion of development, all assets included in 'assets under construction' are reclassified as either 'plant and equipment' or 'mine properties'.
Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings and all other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the consolidated entity and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income during the financial year in which they are incurred.
Land is not depreciated. Property, plant and equipment directly engaged in the crushing and milling operations are depreciated over the shorter of expected economic life or over the remaining life of the mine on a units-of-production basis. Assets which are depreciated on a basis other than the units-of-production method are typically depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
| Plant and equipment | 3-10 years |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each year. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Impairment of assets
Assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
Value in use is the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset or cash generating unit. In estimating value in use, a pre-tax discount rate is used which reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Fair value less costs of disposal is the amount the cash generating unit can be sold to a knowledgeable and willing market participant in an arm's length transaction, less the disposal costs. In estimating fair value less costs of disposal, discounted cash flow methodology is utilised and a post-tax discount rate is used.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generated units). The Group has three cash generating units, Edikan Gold Mine, Sissingué Gold Mine and the Yaouré Gold Mine. Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered impairment in previous periods are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each year.

Accounting policy
Mine properties
Accumulated mine development costs (classified as either 'plant and equipment' or 'mine properties') are depreciated/amortised on a unit of production basis over the economically recoverable reserves of the mine concerned, except in the case of assets whose useful life is shorter than the life of mine, in which case the straight line method is applied. The units of measure for amortisation of mine properties is tonnes of ore mined and the amortisation of mine properties takes into account expenditures incurred to date. The Edikan, Yaouré and Sissingué mine properties work in progress is assessed at the end of every month and when the work is completed it is transferred to mine properties and then amortised.
Deferred stripping costs
The Group incurs waste removal costs (stripping costs) during the development and production phases of its surface mining operations. During the production phase, stripping costs (production stripping costs) can be incurred both in relation to the production of inventory in that period and the creation of improved access and mining flexibility in relation to ore to be mined in the future. The former are included as part of the costs of inventory, while the latter are capitalised as a stripping activity asset, where certain criteria are met. Once the Group has identified its production stripping for each surface mining operation, it identifies the separate components of the ore bodies for each of its mining operations. An identifiable component is a specific volume of the ore body that is made more accessible by the stripping activity.
The stripping activity asset is initially measured at cost, which is the accumulation of costs directly incurred to perform the stripping activity that improves access to the identified component of ore, plus an allocation of directly attributable overhead costs. If incidental operations are occurring at the same time as the production stripping activity but are not necessary for the production stripping activity to continue as planned, these costs are not included in the cost of the stripping activity asset. The stripping activity asset is accounted for as an addition to, or an enhancement of, an existing asset, being the mine asset, and is presented as part of 'Mine properties' in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. This forms part of the total investment in the relevant cash generating unit, which is reviewed for impairment if events or changes of circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Significant Judgements And Estimates
Ore Reserves are estimates of the amount of ore that can be economically and legally extracted from the Group's mining properties. The Group estimates its Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons relating to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body and this requires complex geological judgements to interpret data. The estimation of recoverable reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements, and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgements made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. Changes in the Ore Reserve and Resource estimates may impact the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, mine properties, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, provision for rehabilitation, recognition of deferred assets, and depreciation and amortisation charges.

The expenditure above relates principally to exploration and evaluation activities. The ultimate recoupment of this expenditure is dependent upon successful development and commercial exploitation, or alternatively, sale of the respective areas of interest.
The capitalised expenditure transferred to mine properties and assets under construction is related to the exploration work that has resulted in the conversion of resources to reserves. This included the capitalised expenditure related to the Nyanzaga Gold project transferred to assets under construction as a result of the project achieving final investment decision (FID) as published to the market on 28 April 2025. An impairment assessment was performed upon transfer, as required by AASB 6, which resulted in no impairment being recognised.
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Accounting policy
Exploration and evaluation expenditures in relation to each separate area of interest with current tenure are carried forward to the extent that:
- such expenditures are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploration of the area of interest, or alternatively, by its sale; or
- exploration and evaluation activities in the area of interest have not at the reporting date reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of economically recoverable reserves and active and significant operations in, or in relation to, the area of interest is continuing.
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost and include acquisition of rights to explore, studies, exploratory drilling, trenching and sampling and associated activities and an allocation of depreciation and amortisation of assets used in exploration and evaluation activities. General and administrative costs are only included in the measurement of exploration and evaluation costs where they are related directly to operational activities in a particular area of interest.
In the event that an area of interest is abandoned or, if facts and circumstances suggest that the carrying amount of an exploration and evaluation asset is impaired then the accumulated costs carried forward are written off in the year in which the assessment is made.
Where a decision has been made to proceed with development in respect of a particular area of interest, the relevant exploration and evaluation asset is tested for impairment and the balance is then reclassified as 'assets under construction' and allocated to the appropriate cash generating unit.
Significant judgements and estimates
Management determines when an area of interest should be abandoned. When a decision is made that an area of interest is not commercially viable, all costs that have been capitalised in respect of that area of interest are written off. In determining this, assumptions, including the maintenance of title, ongoing expenditure and prospectivity are made.

Accounting policy
Trade and other payables
These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the Group prior to the end of the financial year that are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition. Trade and other payables are presented as current liabilities unless payment is not due within 12 months from the reporting date. They are recognised initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured as the present value of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the year. The discount rate used to determine the present value reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as an interest expense.
Employee benefits
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date are recognised in other payables in respect of employees' services up to the reporting date. They are measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liabilities are settled.
The liability for long service leave which is not expected to be wholly settled within 12 months of the reporting date is recognised in the provision for employee benefits and measured as the present value of expected future payments. Consideration is given to expected future wage and salary level, experience of employees' departures and periods of service. Expected future payments are discounted using market yields at the end of the year on high quality corporate bonds with terms to maturity and currency that match, as closely as possible, the estimated future cash outflows.
Contributions are made by the Group to superannuation funds as stipulated by statutory requirements and are charged as expenses when incurred.
Rehabilitation provision
A provision for restoration and rehabilitation is recognised when there is a present obligation as a result of development activities undertaken, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the provision can be measured reliably. The estimated future obligations include the costs of abandoning sites, removing facilities and restoring the affected areas.
The provision for future restoration costs is the best estimate of the present value of the expenditure required to settle the restoration obligation at the balance date. Future restoration costs are reviewed annually and any changes in the estimate are reflected in the present value of the restoration provision at each balance date.
The initial estimate of the restoration and rehabilitation provision is capitalised into the cost of the related asset and amortised on the same basis as the related asset, unless the present obligation arises from the production of inventory in the year, in which case the amount is included in the cost of production for the year. Changes in the estimate of the provision for restoration and rehabilitation are treated in the same manner, except that the unwinding of the effect of discounting on the provision is recognised as a finance cost rather than being capitalised into the cost of the related asset.

Significant judgements and estimates
The value of the current restoration and rehabilitation provision is based on a number of assumptions, including the nature of restoration activities required and the valuation at the present value of a future obligation that necessitates estimates of the cost of performing the work required, the timing of future cash flows and the appropriate risk-free discount rate. Additionally, current provisions are based on the assumption that no significant changes will occur in relevant legislation covering restoration of mineral properties. A change in any, or a combination, of these assumptions used to determine current provisions could have a material impact to the carrying value of the provision.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Accounting policy
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, using the balance sheet full liability method, on 'taxable' temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred income tax is also not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affect neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the year and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are not recognised for temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax bases of investments in foreign operations where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

Accounting policy
Ordinary shares are classified as equity and incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. If the Company reacquires its own equity instruments for the purpose of reducing its issued capital, for example as the result of a share buy-back, those instruments are deducted from equity and the associated shares are cancelled. No gain or loss is recognised in the profit or loss and the consideration paid including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of tax) is recognised directly in equity.

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and equity price risk. The Group therefore has an overall risk management program that focuses on the unpredictability of financial and precious metal commodity markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group.
The Group uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed, including sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate, foreign exchange and other price risks and aging analysis for credit risk. The Group then uses derivative financial instruments such as forward metal and forward metal option contracts to hedge certain risk exposures.
Financial risk management is carried out by the finance area of the Group under policies approved by the Board of Directors with identification, evaluation and hedging of financial and commodity risks being undertaken in close co-operation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall enterprise risk management as well as written policies covering specific areas such as use of derivative financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity.
Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the Australian dollar (A$), West African CFA franc (XOF), Euro (EUR), Ghanaian cedi (GHS) and Tanzanian shilling (TZS). Foreign exchange risk arises from commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The risk is measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. The Group is also exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the translation of its foreign operations, the Group's investments in its subsidiaries are not hedged as those currency positions are considered long term in nature. In addition, head-office entities hold intercompany receivables from the foreign subsidiaries denominated in EUR and US$ which are eliminated on consolidation. The gains or losses on re-measurement of these intercompany receivables from EUR and US$ to A$ are not eliminated on consolidation as those loans are not considered to be part of the net investment in the subsidiaries.

Price risk
The Group is exposed to commodity price risk for its future gold production. These risks are measured using sensitivity analysis and cash flow forecasting. To manage these exposures, the Group enters into four forms of contract, forward sales contracts, call options and put options and spot deferred contracts (Hedge Contracts). The Group's policy is to hedge no more than 30% of the next three years of planned production.
At the end of the year, the Group had a total of 240,000 ounces of committed Hedge Contracts in place over 16% of anticipated gold production over the next 3 years from 1 July 2025 through to 30 June 2028.
These Hedge Contracts meet the "own-use" exemption since all contracts will be settled through physical delivery, and therefore none are brought onto the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as derivatives. As such, changes in their fair value do not directly impact the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group's debt obligations which have floating interest rates. At the end of the year the Group's interest rate risk exposure and the weighted average interest rate for each class of financial assets and liabilities was:
| WEIGHTED AVERAGE EFFECTIVE INTEREST RATE | FIXED INTEREST RATE US$'000 | ELOATING INTEREST RATE US$'000 | NON-INTEREST BREAKING US$'000 | TOTAL US$'000 | |

Sensitivity
If interest rates were to move up by 1% point with all other variables held constant, the pre-tax impact on the Group's profit as well as total equity would be an increase of US$7.5 million (30 June 2024: US$5.4 million increase),
a 1% decrease would be a decrease of US$7.5 million (30 June 2024: US$5.4 million decrease).

Credit risk
Credit risk represents the loss that would be recognised if counterparties failed to perform as contracted under a financial instrument, resulting in a financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash, restricted cash, marketable securities, trade and other receivables, long-term receivables and other assets.
The Group manages the credit risk associated with cash by investing these funds with highly rated financial institutions and by monitoring its concentration of cash held in any one institution. As such, the Group deems the credit risk on its cash to be low. The Group closely monitors its financial assets (excluding cash) and does not have any significant concentration of credit risk. The carrying amount of the Group's financial assets, represents the maximum credit exposure. The credit quality of cash and cash equivalents can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates.

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, that as far as possible, it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, matching maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities and by ensuring that surplus funds are generally only invested in instruments that are tradable in highly liquid markets or that can be relinquished with minimal risk of loss.

Equity price risk
The Group's investments in listed shares, which are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. At the reporting date, the exposure to listed equity securities at fair value was US$117.9 million (30 June 2024: US$32.0 million). A decrease of 10% on the share prices of the listed investments would have a negative impact of approximately US$11.8 million on the equity attributable to the Group. An increase of 10% in the value of the listed securities would impact equity by US$11.8 million.
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Fair value of financial instruments
All financial instruments for which fair value is recognised or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, and based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).
Level 3 Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
For financial instruments that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between categories during the year.
The fair value of the Group's cash, current and non-current receivable balances approximate their carrying amounts.

Valuation techniques
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and listed securities) is based on quoted market prices at the end of the year. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price. These instruments are included in Level 1.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) is determined using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. The valuation techniques include forward pricing using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties and forward rate curves of the underlying commodity. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument are observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.
If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in Level 3.
Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:
- Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
- The fair value of forward exchange contracts is determined using forward exchange market rates at the end of the year.
- Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.
The net fair value of cash and cash equivalents and non-interest-bearing financial assets and liabilities of the Group approximate their carrying values. The carrying values (less impairment provision if provided) of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Capital risk management
The US$300 million revolving corporate cash advance facility is a secured facility provided by a consortium of six international banks comprising Macquarie Bank Limited and Citibank N.A., (Sydney Branch) from Australia, Nedbank Limited (acting through its Nedbank Corporate and Investment Banking Division), Absa Bank (Mauritius) Limited, FirstRand Bank Limited (acting through its Rand Merchant Bank Division) and The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited (acting through its Corporate and Investment Banking Division) from South Africa. The facility is undrawn as at 30 June 2025.
Management controls the capital of the Group to ensure that the Group can fund its operations in an efficient and timely manner and continue as a going concern. Due to the funding provided by the consortium, the Group is required to hold a minimum liquid assets balance of US$30.0 million (including no less than US$6.0 million of cash). Management effectively manages the Group's capital by assessing the Group's cash projections up to twenty-four months in the future and any associated financial risks. Management will adjust the Group's capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market. There have been no changes in the strategy adopted by management to control the capital of the Group since the prior year.
Accounting policy
Measurement
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are expensed in Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Current/non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is either:
- Expected to be realised within 12 months after the year-end.
- Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the year-end.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when either:
- It is due to be settled within 12 months after the year-end.
- There is no right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after year-end.
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

On 20 August 2024, Perseus agreed to sell 33,000,000 common shares in the capital of TSX-V listed gold explorer and aspiring developer Montage Gold Corp (Montage) (CVE:MAU) to BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc. The Montage Share Sale was executed by way of a bought deal to realise net proceeds of US$45.1 million. Perseus no longer holds any beneficial ownership of, control, or direction over any common shares in Montage.
On 14 August 2024, Perseus announced that it acquired a relevant interest in 13.82% of issued shares of Predictive in addition to the 3.45% of Predictive shares held through cash settled equity swaps. Perseus exercised its 3.45% interest in cash settled equity swaps during the period and used the proceeds as part of the funding to increase its stake in Predictive to 19.9% which later diluted to 17.9% after additional shares were issued by Predictive to another shareholder. The additional interest was acquired for US$52.2 million. The Group does not have significant influence in Predictive based on AASB 128 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and has elected to measure the investment in Predictive at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Accounting policy
Recognition and measurement
These financial assets consist of investments in ordinary shares, comprising principally of marketable equity securities. Investments are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of these investments are recognised in equity in the asset revaluation reserve.
The fair value of the listed securities is based on quoted market prices and accordingly is a Level 1 measurement basis on the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting policy
The financial information for the parent entity, Perseus Mining Limited has been prepared on the same basis as the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for the following items:
- Investments in subsidiaries, Associates and joint venture entities are accounted for at cost in the financial statements of Perseus Mining Limited. Dividends received from associates are recognised in the parent entity's profit or loss, rather than being deducted from the carrying amount of these investments.
- The fair value of employee services received in a share-based payment transaction, measured by reference to the grant date fair value, is recognised over the vesting period as an increase to investment in subsidiary undertakings, with a corresponding credit to equity.

The expected life of the performance rights is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility reflects the assumptions that the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may also not necessarily be the actual outcome. Refer to Table 4 of the Remuneration Report for the fair value of the performance rights at the grant date.
22. SUMMARY OF OTHER SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Revenue from gold sales
Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration that the Group expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring goods to its customers. The Group recognises revenue at a point-in-time when (or as) the performance obligations, as determined by contracts with the customers, have been satisfied.
The Group recognises revenue from gold bullion sales as its obligations are satisfied in accordance with an agreed contract between the Group and its customers. Revenue is recognised at a point-in-time when the gold bullion has been credited to the metals account of the customer. It is at this point that control over the gold bullion has been passed to the customer and the Group has fulfilled its obligations under the contract.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
The Consolidated Financial Statements incorporate the assets and liabilities of all subsidiaries of Perseus Mining Limited (the Company or Parent entity) as at 30 June 2025 and the results of all subsidiaries for the year then ended.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through power over the entity.
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
PERSEUS MINING 2025 ANNUAL REPORT
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date in which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.
The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group.
Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated. However, where intercompany loans are denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of an entity, that entity may recognise foreign exchange losses that are not eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of the impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been changed, where necessary, to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of subsidiaries are shown separately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity and Consolidated Statement of Financial Position respectively.
Changes in ownership interests
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the Group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interest and any consideration paid or received is recognised within equity attributable to owners of the parent entity.
When the Group ceases to have control, joint control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured to its fair value with the change in carrying amount recognised in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint controlled entity or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
If the ownership interest in a jointly-controlled entity or an associate is reduced but joint control or significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). Perseus Mining Limited's functional currency is Australian dollars (A$) and its presentation currency is United States Dollars (US$).
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss, except when they are deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net investment hedges or are attributable to part of the net investment in a foreign operation.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, within finance costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a net basis.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date the fair value was determined. The gain or loss arising on translation of non-monetary items measured at fair value is treated in line with the recognition of gain or loss on change in fair value of the item (i.e., translation differences on items whose fair value gain or loss is recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Profit or Loss are also recognised in Other Comprehensive Income or Profit or Loss, respectively).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
Group companies
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that consolidated statement of financial position;
- income and expenses for each consolidated statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and
- all resulting exchange differences are recognised as a separate component of equity.
On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of any net investment in foreign entities, and of borrowings and other financial instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recognised in Other Comprehensive Income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of Other Comprehensive Income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income and are presented in the translation reserve in equity.
Goods and services tax (GST)
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense. Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or other payables in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.
23. CONTINGENCIES
In the course of its normal business, the Group occasionally receives claims arising from its operating or historic activities. Unless disclosed below, all such matters are covered by insurance or, if not covered, are without merit or are of such a kind or involve such amounts that would not have a material adverse effect on the operating results or financial position of the Group if settled unfavourably.
Some of the Group's Tanzanian subsidiaries have been named as defendants in legal proceedings relating to the resettlement activities being undertaken in Tanzania, including claims for compensation for elevated land, being the hills. The value of compensation sought including interest and damages is about US$13 million. During the resettlement process, the Group has complied with all Government of Tanzania directives, including in relation to compensation not being payable for elevated land. The Government is a co-defendant in the proceedings relating to the elevated land. The Group is working with the Government in relation to the defence against the claims. Based on legal advice received, the Group considers it uncertain whether the claims by any or all claimants will succeed and accordingly no provision has been made for the excess compensation sought.

24. COMMITMENTS
A. Exploration commitments
With respect to the Group's mineral property interests in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Tanzania and Sudan, statutory expenditure commitments specified by the mining legislation are nominal in monetary terms. However, as part of mineral licence application and renewal requirements, the Group submits budgeted exploration expenditure. In assessing subsequent renewal applications, the mining authorities review actual expenditure against budgets previously submitted. The Group's budget expenditures for future years are shown below. These amounts do not become legal obligations of the Group and actual expenditure may and does vary depending on the outcome of actual exploration programs and the costs and results from those programs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)

Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional & Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.
Our audit approach
An audit is designed to provide reasonable assurance about whether the financial report is free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
We tailored the scope of our audit to ensure that we performed enough work to be able to give an opinion on the financial report as a whole, taking into account the geographic and management structure of the Group, its accounting processes and controls and the industry in which it operates.
Audit Scope
Our audit focused on where the Group made subjective judgements; for example, significant accounting estimates involving assumptions and inherently uncertain future events.
In establishing the overall approach to the group audit, we determined the type of work that needed to be performed by us, as the group auditor, or component auditors from other PwC network firms or other networks operating under our instruction. Where the work was performed by component auditors, we determined the level of involvement we needed to have in the audit work at those components to be able to conclude whether sufficient appropriate audit evidence had been obtained as a basis for our opinion on the Group financial report as a whole.

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report for the current period. The key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Further, any commentary on the outcomes of a particular audit procedure is made in that context. We communicated the key audit matter to the Audit and Risk Committee.
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Rehabilitation provision | |
| (Refer to note 11) |
As a result of its mining and processing operations, the Group is obligated to restore and rehabilitate the environment disturbed by these operations and remove related infrastructure. Rehabilitation activities are governed by a combination of legislative requirements and Group policies.
The Group recognised provisions for restoration and rehabilitation obligations as at 30 June 2025.
This was a key audit matter given the determination of these provisions required significant judgement by the Group in the assessment of the nature of the restoration activities required and the valuation at the present value of a future obligation that necessitates estimates of the cost of performing the work required, the timing of future cash flows and the appropriate risk free discount rate. | We performed the following procedures, amongst others:
• Obtained an understanding and evaluated the appropriateness of how the Group identified the relevant methods, assumptions and sources of data, and the need for changes in them, that are appropriate for developing the rehabilitation provision in the context of the Australian Accounting Standards.
• Obtained the Group’s calculations of the rehabilitation provision. We assessed the mathematical accuracy of these calculations on a sample basis and whether the timing of the cashflows was consistent with the current life of mine plans.
• Evaluated the appropriateness of significant assumptions used to develop the rehabilitation provision in the context of Australian Accounting Standards, including:
• Compared the cost assumptions used, on a sample basis, to comparable data from external parties and management’s experts;
• Tested disturbance areas, on a sample basis, to supporting data including aerial surveys and site plans; and |

| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| • Considered the appropriateness of the discount rates and inflation rates utilised in calculating the provision by comparing them to current market consensus. | |
| • Evaluated the competency, capabilities, objectivity, and nature of the work of management's internal and external experts retained to assist with the preparation of the estimates. | |
| • Assessed the reasonableness of the disclosures made in the financial report in light of the requirements of Australian Accounting Standards. |
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025, but does not include the financial report and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon through our opinion on the financial report. We have issued a separate opinion on the remuneration report.
In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the directors for the financial report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001, including giving a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial report
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial report is located at the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board website at: https://auasb.gov.au/media/bwvjcgre/ar1_2024.pdf. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
Report on the remuneration report
