PERSEUS MINING LIMITED - Capital/Financing Update 2026

20 FEBRUARY 2026 NEWS RELEASE

PERSEUS MINING INCREASES NYANZAGA GOLD PROJECT ORE RESERVES TO 4.0 Moz

OVERVIEW

Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) is pleased to announce an updated Ore Reserve of 4.0 Moz for the Nyanzaga Gold Project ( NGP ) in Tanzania (Table 1). This represents a 73% increase to the 2.3 Moz Ore Reserve reported in April 2025 as part of the updated NGP Feasibility Study ( FS ).

Mine life for the Nyanzaga Gold Project is extended to 16 years, including 14 years of production at greater than 200 koz/a. An increased Perseus Ore Reserve for Nyanzaga is based on a further cutback to a large scale, open-pit mining operation as outlined in the NGP FS.

6 Rounding of numbers to appropriate precision may have resulted in apparent inconsistencies

This increase is underpinned by approximately 82,700 m of reverse circulation and diamond drilling across the Tusker and Kilimani deposit areas completed since Perseus acquired the Project in May 2024. This drilling was aimed at infill and extension of the mineralisation, and the conversion of Mineral Resources from the Inferred to Indicated category. In parallel, Perseus has continued to refine the underlying technical assessments via various studies supporting the NGP Ore Reserve update. The contributions of these activities to the updated Ore Reserve are presented in Figure 1 .

MINERAL RESOURCES

The NGP Mineral Resource estimate consists of two discrete but adjacent deposits: Tusker and Kilimani. Following approximately 82,700 m of drilling across both deposit areas, Perseus has prepared a revised Mineral Resource estimate for the NGP. The combined M&I Mineral Resource for the NGP is estimated at 110.4 Mt grading 1.33 g/t Au, containing 4.7 Moz of gold. A further 6.5 Mt of material grading 1.6 g/t Au, containing 343 koz of gold is classified as Inferred Mineral Resources ( Table 2 ).

As a result of pit design parameters such as ramp configuration and batter arrangements, there are approximately 500 oz (0.01%) of ore reported in the Ore Reserve that is not included in the Mineral Resource. This is not considered material, and no adjustment has been made to the figures reported to account for this.

Geology

The NGP is situated on the north-eastern flank of the Sukumaland Greenstone Belt. Rock sequences comprise Nyanzian-aged sequences of mafic volcanics in the far south-west and banded-iron-formation, tuffs, mudstone, sandstone and epiclastics of general volcanogenic origin and massive sulfide lenses and volcanics of rhyodacitic to andesitic composition. The sequences are tightly folded and strike generally westnorthwest.

NEWS RELEASE | PERSEUS MINING INCREASES NYANZAGA GOLD PROJECT ORE RESERVES TO 4.0 Moz

==> picture [110 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

In the central part of the NGP, the Nyanzaga and Kilimani groups are defined. The Nyanzaga Group is divided into a sequence of three broad mappable units from drill core and outcrop mapping, and are in stratigraphical order as follows:

Nyanzaga Upper Volcaniclastic Formation.
Nyanzaga Central Formation.
Nyanzaga Lower Volcaniclastic Formation.

These three units are folded into the north-northwest plunging Nyanzaga Anticline. These sequences are in turn overlain by the Kilimani Group which appears to be tectonically dislocated from the underlying Nyanzaga Group by faulting and potential earlier thrusts.

A series of different faulting sets has been recognised across the Nyanzaga project area. These include observed outcrop positions with suggested sinistral movement; others with inferred dextral movement; a series of steep faults sub-parallel to bedding; and a number of low angle thrust faults. Additionally, east-west trending normal faults with minor displacement have been identified.

The interaction of these various fault orientations results in the definition of numerous fault block domains. The geological model has focussed on those faults where evidence is observed across multiple sections, and therefore likely to have influence on the geological model at a resource scale. Small scale and discontinuous features are expected to be present but unlikely to materially influence the position of mineralisation within the project.

The two mineralisation systems show similar alteration and mineralisation styles, though the Kilimani deposit is interpreted to have been emplaced at shallower levels than at Tusker. Typical alteration features include pervasive carbonate alteration, varying from distal ferroan-calcite to proximal ankerite-sericite dominated and quartz-pyrite alteration. The current interpretation indicates that there is a distinct lithological control and most of the gold appears to be hosted by iron rich sediments in the form of an extensive stock-work of carbonate, quartz veins, and quartz-carbonate breccias. Preferential grade enhancement occurs in selected altered units such as the thick cherts, silica-dolomite altered medium grained sandstones, brecciated silicacarbonate altered mudstones, or in the late quartz veins as free gold.

As a result of the complex interactions between lithology and faults, definition of discrete mineralisation envelopes is difficult, and attempts to do so are likely to overstate mineralisation continuity, particularly for zones of higher grades.

To mitigate this risk, and to better reflect the anticipated large scale open pit mining method, the mineralisation interpretation instead aimed to define the limits of the mineralisation within the deposit, with the distribution of high-grade mineralisation within this shape reflected in the estimation parameters. A mineralised envelope was defined using an economic compositing routine within Leapfrog using a grade threshold of 0.3 g/t Au and a minimum downhole length of five metres. This length was selected as it was broadly aligned with the expected bench height for the project, while also generating consistent shapes with limited individual internal waste zones which were unlikely to be realistically excluded from the overall domain.

An intrusion model was created in Leapfrog using the economic compositing outputs as a base. To reflect the interpreted mineralisation associations with lithology trends and key faults, surfaces representing these features were used to define a structural trend and guided the intrusion modelling. The resulting mineralisation shape is presented in Figure 3 and forms the basis of the domain coding for the Tusker deposit area.

Drilling Techniques and Hole Spacing

Drilling completed at the NGP and used to support the Mineral Resource estimate includes 759 reverse circulation holes for 96,716 m and 462 diamond holes (as tails on RC pre-collars or drilled from surface) for 188,643 m. RC drilling prior to 2010 used 6” diameter face-sampling bit. After 2010, RC drilling used a 5¼” diameter face-sampling bit. Diamond drilling utilised PQ (85 mm diameter) or HQ triple-tube (61.1 mm dia.) drilling in weathered materials and NQ2 (50.6 mm dia.) or NQ (47.6 mm dia.) core in fresh rock. Pre-collared holes were normally drilled to NQ or NQ2 diameter from the commencement of coring.

The Tusker mineralisation was drilled to a nominal 20 mN × 40 mE, with selected infill to 20 mN × 20 mE. Holes were typically drilled at a dip of -60° towards 270°, with a minor number of holes drilled towards a bearing of 090° to better define the western limb of the fold structure. Drilling at Kilimani was predominantly via RC with minor diamond core at a nominal 20 m × 20 m pattern. Holes were aligned to either 035° or 215° with inclinations nominally -60°. A plan showing the historical drill collars and those drilled by Perseus to support this update is presented in Figure 4 .

Sampling

For RC samples prior to 2005, samples were normally combined into 3 m composite samples for assaying. Where composite samples returned gold assays greater than a nominal threshold, second splits were generated for the constituent one metre samples and those were submitted for assay. The one metre assays are prioritised over the original composite assays in the acQuire database. RC drilling since 2005 has been sampled at one metre intervals for the entire length of the hole. Depending on the drill rig, the sample was split at the cyclone, or the bulk sample was passed through a standalone riffle splitter at the drill site to generate the subsample for analysis with a nominal weight of 3-4 kg.

Drill core was collected from a core barrel and placed in appropriately marked core trays. Down hole core run depths were measured and marked with core blocks. Core was measured for core loss and core photography and geological logging completed. Core samples are typically quarter core for PQ and half core for HQ and NQ sizes, with the orientation line preserved in the tray. The entire hole is sampled with samples collected nominally at 1 m or at geological contacts.

Certified reference materials, analytical blanks, and field duplicates were used as part of the QAQC procedures and were each inserted at a rate of 1:25 samples. Umpire analysis has been completed on a range of mineralised intervals.

Sample Analysis

For RC and diamond core samples, the entire sample was dried for 24 hours at 95°C ± 5°C. The sample was then crushed in a jaw crusher to 85%, -2 mm, and riffle split to produce an 800 g to 1 kg split for pulverisation and analysis. The sample was pulverised in a LM2 bowl (1 kg capacity) to 90% passing 75 μm.

Prior to 2024, analysis utilised fire assay techniques with a 50 g charge for the gold analysis. Lead buttons produced after fusions are cupelled and then digested via aqua regia. The digest is analysed for gold using atomic adsorption spectroscopy (AAS). The value is recorded electronically to the laboratory database, exported in CSV format and emailed for upload. Fire assay is considered a total assay method for gold.

From 2024 onwards, gold analyses have been attained via the photon assay determination method. Samples are crushed in a jaw crusher to 85%, -2 mm, and riffle split to produce a nominal 500 g split into the sample pots, ensuring fill levels as close to maximum as possible. This method is considered a measure of the total gold content.

Estimation Methodology

Mineral Resources reported herein have been estimated using a geostatistical block modelling approach, informed from gold assay data obtained from predominantly core and RC drill chip samples. The geological wireframes consider structural and lithological interpretations of the gold mineralisation.

The NGP Mineral Resource estimate used Seequent Leapfrog Geo software for the geological and mineralisation interpretation and associated drill hole coding, while Maptek Vulcan software was used for block model creation, editing, grade estimation and reporting. The grade interpolation of the Tusker component of the resource model utilised local uniform conditioning (LUC) while the Kilimani component employed ordinary kriging. Dynamic anisotropy was used to guide the search orientations along the mineralised trends. Bulk density was estimated for the project based on measurements of diamond core using water immersion methods.

Sample data was composited to one-metre downhole lengths using a best fit-method. No residuals were generated. Statistical analysis was carried out on mineralisation domains, with hard boundary techniques employed within each estimation domain.

Analysis of the composite data indicated the presence of outlier values indicating grade capping was required. Capped values were generally selected above the 99[th] percentile. Distance restrictions on high grades were also employed as part of the Tusker LUC estimate. Estimates were prepared for gold and density. Interpolation parameters were derived using standard exploratory data analysis techniques of statistical and continuity analysis. Appropriate interpolation strategies were developed on a domain basis using kriging neighbourhood analysis (KNA) with a minimum number of 6 composites and a maximum of 16 for Tusker, with 6 and 14 used for Kilimani. Octant restrictions were employed for each deposit. Tusker was estimated in a single pass with a maximum search radius of 65 m, while Kilimani employed a two-pass strategy, with the initial 125 m search distance increased by 50% for the second pass. An example cross section showing the estimated blocks for the Tusker mineralisation is presented in Figure 5 .

The selective mining unit (SMU) estimate for Tusker utilised a panel size of 10 mE × 20 mN × 20 mRL with an SMU size of 5 mE × 10 mN × 5 mRL. Parent cells for Kilimani were 10 mE × 20 mN × 10 mRL, with grades estimated into the parent cells.

Validation of the estimates for the NGP were completed using various methods including visual inspection of block grade and density estimates versus composites from drill holes in 3D or on a section-by-section basis; global comparison of the estimated block grades to the capped mean grades of informing composite grades, on a domain-by-domain basis; and semi-local validation checks using multi data relationship plots (swath plots) comparing the local composite grades (by easting, northing and RL), to the block model estimate grades for each domain.

Resource Classification

Classification of the NGP Mineral Resource was completed with consideration of the following criteria.

Resource drilling – the confidence in the interpretation boundaries and related mineralisation volumes related to the number, spacing, and orientation of the available drilling

Continuity modelling – the spatial continuity of respective domains based on variogram analysis

Estimation quality – the assessment of key estimation output statistics including slope of regression and average distance to samples

Validation results – the consideration of how well the underlying domain data is reflected in the estimated blocks as assessed by statistics globally and trend plots locally

A series of polygons were developed for the assignment of the applicable resource classification. Blocks have been classified in both the Indicated (94%) and Inferred (6%) categories ( Figure 6 ).

Cut-off Grade

The Mineral Resource has been reported above a 0.25 g/t Au cut-off. Selection of the cut-off has considered metallurgical recoveries and other inputs to determine a marginal cut-off grade. The applied cut-off has been reviewed against that reported from peer projects with similar mineralisation styles and is considered comparable.

Reporting of Mineral Resources have been assessed against a resource limiting optimisation shell using appropriate cost, metallurgical recovery, and price assumptions. Material within the optimised pit shell has, in the opinion of the Competent Person, met the conditions for reporting of a Mineral Resource with reasonable prospects of economic extraction.

Mining and Metallurgy

Development of this Mineral Resource assumes mining using standard equipment and methods. The assumed mining method is conventional truck and shovel open pit mining at an appropriate bench height.

Processing is planned via standard carbon-in-leach techniques. These are well understood and already in use across Tanzania. Results of metallurgical test work completed to date demonstrates extraction amenability of gold mineralisation to the proposed process flowsheet, with metallurgical gold recoveries defined by regressions based on the range of ore types and mineralisation hosts.

ORE RESERVES

The Ore Reserve estimate for the NGP is based on the new Mineral Resource estimate. Modifying factors remain materially consistent with those resulting from the April 2025 Perseus Nyanzaga Feasibility Study Update. The Ore Reserve is classified as Probable in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), corresponding to the Indicated Mineral Resource classification and considering other factors where relevant. The deposit’s geological model is well constrained. The Ore Reserve classification is considered appropriate given the nature of the deposit, the moderate grade variability, drilling density, structural complexity, and confidence in input parameters. It is therefore considered appropriate to use Indicated Mineral Resources as a basis for Probable Ore Reserves.

The Probable Ore Reserve for the NGP is estimated as 90.9 Mt, grading 1.38 g/t Au and containing 4.0 Moz of gold ( Table 4 ). The Ore Reserve pit design is presented in Figure 7 .

ORE RESERVE MATERIAL ASSUMPTIONS

Mining Lease and Physical Constraints

The current exploitation permit covers a sufficient surface extent and does not constrain the mining, dumping or tailings disposal limits. An allowance has been made for a 200 m buffer zone, inside the lease boundary, in which no mining activities will take place.

No geological constraints were applied to the pit optimisation, with M&I Mineral Resources used to determine the pit limits.

Geological Block Model and Topography

The Mineral Resource model used for the estimation of the Ore Reserve provides material classifications based upon rock type (chert, mudstone, sandstone, upper volcanoclastic, lower volcanoclastic) and weathering surface (oxide, transitional or fresh). Different pit slopes, production rates, mining costs, and processing parameters (throughputs, costs and recoveries) are applied to the open pit Ore Reserve at Nyanzaga, based upon different material types. These varying cost and rates are based upon Feasibility level test work and studies.

Geotechnical Parameters

Slope design parameters have been revised based on the inclusion of additional data and test work from further geotechnical diamond drilling completed in 2025. The new data was combined with the existing dataset for use in a geotechnical study update. As part of the study, further assessment refined the geotechnical classification of the rock mass, which is based on the main geological units and weathering subdivisions for oxide, transitional and fresh rock. The strength of the weathered, oxide domain was revised based on inclusion of additional laboratory test work. Structural kinematic analysis was used to assist the design of the slopes in the transitional and fresh sub-groups where structure orientation and interaction is expected to govern the design of appropriate batter angles and slope and berm configurations. The design was supported by a 3D numerical model which used a Finite Element Analysis approach to evaluate pit slope stability. The recommended slope angles generated from this investigation are presented in Table 5 . These slope angles were used to evaluate the Ore Reserve.

Mining Methods

The NGP open pits will use a conventional hydraulic excavator and rigid off-highway rear dump truck fleet, with drill and blast where required in oxide, transitional and fresh rock material. Mining bench heights are 10 m with 2.5 m flitches for selective mining to minimise ore loss and waste rock dilution. Bulk waste mining is also completed on 10 m benches.

Open pit mining will be undertaken with medium to large scale off-highway equipment, including 180 t–350 t class excavators and 90 t–150 t class dump trucks. Trucks haul ore to surface ore stockpiles, with waste being hauled to, and disposed in, waste rock dumps. Stockpile rehandle is by front-end loader.

Drill and blast practices are employed to break competent rock. Drill and blast techniques, including pre-split and trim shots, are applied to minimise open pit wall damage, and blasting is configured to minimise ore loss and waste dilution.

Mining Dilution and Ore Loss

The Nyanzaga Ore Reserve is based upon a re-blocked version of the Nyanzaga Mineral Resource model. The Ore Reserve model has 5.0 m × 5.0 m × 5.0 m block size. This process is considered an acceptable approximation of the degree of ore loss and dilution which may be encountered considering deposit geometry, mining method, mining equipment size, mining practices and grade control processes

Metallurgical Factors

The NGP process plant is designed to use crushing, grinding, gravity recovery and cyanide leaching to extract gold. Nameplate throughput for the process plant is 5 Mt/a for the projected ore blend requiring the highest specific energy input (which is based on 85[th] percentile specific energy for each ore type proportionally in the blend). Perseus has used the average specific energy for each ore type as the basis of calculating instantaneous mill throughput and has considered 8,000 h/a runtime (91.3% of total hours per year) for process production scheduling. Perseus has used ore specific throughputs ranging from 4.76 Mt/a for the hardest fresh ore type, through to 6.0 Mt/a for oxide ore.

The process metallurgical recovery for gold is determined by material type in each deposit, as shown in Table 6 . Metallurgical recovery of gold over the LOM is expected to average 85.8% at grind size of P80 75 µm.

NYANZAGA GOLD PROJECT – TABLE 1

The following table provides the reporting criteria for the reporting of Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves, in accordance with the Table 1 checklist in The Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The JORC Code, 2012 Edition). Criteria in each section apply to all preceding and succeeding sections.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria		Commentary
Sampling techniques		General Commentary • Samples for geological logging, assay, geotechnical, metallurgical and density test work are collected via drilling. • Diamond core drilling uses double and triple tube techniques and samples were taken at nominal 1 m intervals. • Reverse circulation (RC) drill holes were sampled in 1 m intervals and reduced to a sample weight of 3 kg to 4 kg via a cyclone and splitter system. • For RC samples prior to 2005, samples were normally combined into 3 m composite samples for assaying. Where composite samples returned gold assays greater than a nominal threshold, second splits were generated for the constituent one metre samples and those were submitted for assay. The one metre assays are prioritised over the original composite assays in the acQuire database. Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • Drilling is predominantly DD with RC pre-collars on 20 mN × 40 mE spacing across the main mineralised areas. Additionally, a limited area has infill drilling to 20 mN × 20 mE. Holes were aligned towards either 90° or 270° and dip at -60°. Kilimani • Drilling is predominantly RC with minor DD at a nominal 20 m (along strike) × 20 m (across strike) pattern. Holes were aligned to either 035° or 215° with inclinations nominally -60°.
Drilling techniques		General Commentary • RC drilling prior to 2010 used 6” diameter face-sampling bit. After 2010 RC drilling used a 5¼” diameter face-sampling bit • Diamond drilling utilised PQ (85 mm diameter) or HQ triple-tube (61.1 mm dia.) drilling in weathered materials and NQ2 (50.6 mm dia.) or NQ (47.6 mm dia.) core in fresh rock. • Pre-collared holes were normally drilled to NQ or NQ2 diameter from the commencement of coring. • A variety of core orientation devices have been used. These include Reflex ACT, Easy Mark, Spear or Ball Mark. The diamond drill core orientations were marked and measured at the drill site by the driller and subsequently checked by the geologists who then drew orientation lines on the core.
Drill sample recovery		General Commentary • Diamond core recoveries were measured linearly per drill run. Core recoveries average approximately 85% in weathered materials and above 98% in fresh rock. • RC sample recoveries were measured by weighing bulk recovered samples. Preliminary evaluation indicates that RC sample recoveries have been satisfactory. • There is no material relationship between sample recoveries and gold grades.
Logging		General Commentary • RC drill chips were logged geologically, including rock type, weathering, oxidation, lithology, alteration, mineralisation (including estimated percent sulfide concentrations) and veining. • Diamond drill core was geologically and structurally logged. Geological logging methods are identical to RC logging. Structural logging includes joints, fractures, roughness and infill type of structures and veins as well as recovery and RQD. • All holes are logged in their entirety. • Prior to 2024 all logging, including comments, was manually entered into spreadsheets, from where it is imported into an acQuire™ relational database maintained by Perseus. From 2024, onwards logging was completed into an offline logging object for direct loading to acQuire™. • Digital logging of structures in drill core using a Reflex IQ-logger was implemented from 2021. • Loggingis consideredqualitative in nature.

Criteria		Commentary
		• Diamond core was photographed prior to being processed, however photographs for some historical holes are not able to be located.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation		General Commentary • Diamond core was cut in half using a diamond saw. All samples were collected from the same side of the core with the remaining half stored in core trays. • Sample preparation of diamond core and RC chips for subsequent fire assay analysis used industry standard techniques. After drying, the sample is subject to a primary crush to 2 mm, then approximately 1.5 kg of sub-sample was split off and pulverised with a 300 gram of pulp selected for analysis. Internal laboratory checks required at least 85% of the pulp passing - 75 microns. • Sample preparation for photon assay involved crushing to 2 mm, then a nominal 500 g of sub- sample was split off for analysis. • From 2010 to 2012 the combined frequency of certified reference materials, blanks, and field duplicates was at a rate of 1:10. Diamond core duplicates were submitted from the second half of the core. • From 2017 onwards QC procedures included the use of certified reference materials (1:20), blanks (1:20), and RC field duplicates (1:20). Duplicate splits of diamond core were collected as a second sample from the coarse reject at the laboratory. • In the period 2005 to 2012 most sample preparation has been undertaken at SGS Mwanza laboratory. Sample preparation in the period 2016-2017 was completed at both SGS Mwanza and Intertek Genalysis Johannesburg. For the 2021-2022 drilling, sample preparation was completed at Nesch Mintech in Mwanza. From 2024 onwards samples were submitted to MSALABS in Geita for sample preparation. • Sample sizes are considered appropriate and representative for the style of mineralisation, the thickness and consistency of the mineralised intersections and the grade ranges encountered.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests		General Commentary • The majority of RC and diamond core samples up to 2021 have been assayed by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish by commercial laboratories including SGS (Mwanza) and Intertek (Perth). The fire assay technique is considered a total extraction technique. • Samples during 2021 and 2022 were assayed by 50 g fire assay with AAS finish by Nesch Mintech (Mwanza). • From 2024 gold analyses have been attained via the PhotonAssay™ determination method at MSALABS in Geita. This method is considered a measure of the total gold content. • Assessment of the results of QC assays shows acceptable levels of accuracy and precision with no significant bias.
Verification of sampling and assaying		General Commentary • Downhole survey data and collar survey data were provided by drilling contractors and surveyors respectively in digital format. • Numerous significant mineralised intersections have been checked against visual alteration and sulphide mineralisation in drill chips and core. • Geology, structure and geotechnical logs are recorded either as paper based or into specifically designed spreadsheets. From 2024 onwards logs were completed into an acQuire™ offline logging object. Sample intervals are recorded in pre-numbered sample ticket books. All logging, sample interval and survey data are manually entered to digital form on site or directly loaded from digital files and stored in an acQuire™ relational database. Data exports are normally in the form of csv files or via ODBC connections to tailored SQL views. • The acQuire™ database is managed by a dedicated Database Manager. • Unsampled intervals were coded with -9999 while results reported below detection were assigned half the relevant detection limit. • Data verification procedures include automated checks to: `o` prevent repetition of sample numbers. `o` prevent overlap of from-to intervals in logging and sample interval data. `o` ensure that total hole depths in collar, assay and geology tables match. `o` ensure that drill collar coordinates are within the project’s geographic limits. • Down-hole survey data are examined for large deviations in dip or azimuth that may represent erroneous data or data entry errors and corrected on a case-by-case basis including estimates of dips and azimuths where the original data appear to be in error. • Additional data checks include viewing drill hole traces, geological logging and assays in plan and section views. Deposit Specific Commentary

Criteria		Commentary
		Tusker • While no dedicated diamond holes have been completed to twin RC drilling, the results of infill drilling on 20 m sections typically confirms the position and tenor of mineralisation reported from historical drilling, allowing for variability associated with nuggety gold mineralisation.
Location of data points		General Commentary • All drill hole collars at Nyanzaga were surveyed by Nile Precision Surveys by DGPS techniques in 2017. Collars drilled in 2021 and 2022 were surveyed by Gleam survey contractors. • The 2017 collar survey identified an error in the local base station coordinates with respect to the Arc 1960 projection. In 2024 all collars were adjusted to align with the corrected Arc 1960 coordinates. • All collars from 2024 onwards have been surveyed using contract or company surveyors using DGPS techniques. • Prior to 2010 the majority of RC and diamond core holes were typically surveyed at 30 m or 50 m intervals using Reflex or Flexi-It single shot tools. From 2010 onwards downhole surveys utilised north seeking gyroscopic tools (i.e. Axis Gyro Champ, Imdex Omni 42, Imdex Sprint IQ) with survey intervals ranging from 5 m to 30 m downhole. `o` In 2025 a review of downhole surveys identified a pervasive issue with a selection of holes measured. The 51 affected holes were subsequently re-entered and resurveyed utilising a different contractor and survey tool and the records updated in acQuire, with the original incorrect results deprioritised. One hole was unable to be re-entered and was therefore redrilled. • A topographic surface has been established by a LiDAR survey conducted in 2019. The topographic surface is reliable to ± 0.2 m. • Topographic control is adequate for the current work being undertaken at Nyanzaga.
Data spacing and distribution		General Commentary • The mineralisation domains have demonstrated sufficient continuity in both geology and grade to support the definition of Mineral Resources, and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC Code guidelines. • With the exception of 3 m composites collected from RC pre-collars, all samples from RC drilling were collected at 1 m intervals. If gold assay results from the 3 m composite samples were above the specified threshold, the constituent individual 1 m samples were submitted and assigned priority in the database. Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • Drilling is via RC and DD typically on 20 mN × 40 mE spacing extending to 40 mN × 40 mE at the margins with a limited area defined by 20 mN × 20 mE. Kilimani • Drilling is predominantly RC with minor DD at a nominal 20 m (along strike) × 20 m (across strike) pattern.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure		General Commentary • Drilling at each of the deposits was oriented to intersect the dominant mineralisation at as near optimal orientation as was practicable. • The orientation of mineralisation relevant to drilling was not considered likely to have introduced any material bias.
Sample security		General Commentary • RC and core samples were removed from the field and stored in a secure compound at the end of each day’s work program by company personnel. RC field sample splits and samples of half diamond core were placed in numbered bags and those bags, in turn, placed into poly-woven sacks that were closed with plastic cable ties prior to transport to the relevant commercial laboratory. • Security guards were employed at drilling sites, the core yard compound and the sample preparation facility on a 24 hour per day basis. • Samples were stored on site and collected by representatives of the analysis laboratory or delivered by company personnel to the required facility. Company personnel had no further involvement in the analysis of the samples. • Results of field duplicates along with the general consistency of assay results between neighbouring drill holes and drilling methods provide confidence in the general reliability of the assaydata.

Criteria	Commentary

Audits or reviews	General Commentary • Audit review of the various drill sampling techniques and assaying have been undertaken. The sampling methodology applied to data follow standard industry practices. A procedure of QAQC involving appropriate standards, duplicates, blanks and internal laboratory checks is and has been routinely employed in all drilling phases.

Mineral tenement and land tenure status	General Commentary • The Nyanzaga Gold Project is located north-western Tanzania, approximately 60 km south- southwest of Mwanza in the Sengerema District. • The Project lies within the granted SML 653/2021 covering an area of 23.36 km2. SML 653/2021 was granted on 13 December 2021 for a period of 15 years. The holder of an SML may apply for renewal at any time not later than one year before expiry of the licence. If renewed, the licence can be extended for a period not exceeding the estimated remaining life of the ore body (or other period the licence holder requests and the Minister is satisfied with). The company also has a number of Prospecting Licences surrounding the SML. • Statutory royalties of 6% are payable to the Tanzanian Government, based on the gross value method. This is in addition to the 0.3% community levy and 1% clearing fee on the value of all minerals exported from Tanzania from 1 July 2017. • The Tanzanian Government holds a 20% free carried interest in Sotta Mining Corporation Limited (SMCL) being the joint venture company which holds the SML. There is a Framework Agreement and Shareholders Agreement in place governing the operations of the joint venture company.

Exploration done by other parties	General Commentary • In 1996 the Maiden Gold JV with Sub Sahara Resources acquired aerial photography, Landsat imagery and airborne magnetic and radiometric survey data. In addition, they completed soil and rock chip sampling, geological mapping, a helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey and a small RC drill program. • In the period 1997-1998 AVGold (in JV with Sub Sahara) completed residual soil sampling, rock chip and trench sampling and a ground magnetic survey. • During 1999 to 2001 Anglovaal Mining Ltd (in JV with Sub Sahara) conducted further soil sampling, rock chip sampling, trenching, ground magnetic survey, IP and resistivity survey and limited RC and diamond drilling. • In 2002 the Placer Dome JV with Sub Sahara Resources completed trenching, structural mapping, petrographic studies, RAB/AC, RC and diamond drilling. • During 2003 Sub Sahara Resources compiled previous work including literature surveys, geological mapping, air photo and Landsat TM analysis, geophysical surveys, geological mapping, geochemical soil and rock chip surveys and various RAB, RC and DDH drilling programs. • From 2004 to 2009 the Barrick Exploration Africa Ltd (BEAL) JV with Sub Sahara Resources embarked on a detailed surface mapping, relogging, analysis and interpretation program to consolidate a geological model and acceptable interpretative map. They also carried out additional soil and rock chip sampling, petrographic analysis, geological field mapping as well as RAB, CBI, RC and diamond drilling. A high resolution airborne geophysical survey (including magnetic, IP and resistivity)was flown over the Nyanzagaproject area totalling400 km2. To improve the resolution

Criteria		Commentary
		of the target delineation process, BEAL contracted Geotech Airborne Limited and completed a helicopter Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic (VTEM) survey in August 2006. Metallurgical test work and an independent Mineral Resource estimate was also completed (independent consultant). • In the period 2009 to 2010 Western Metals/Indago Resources completed work focused on targeting and mitigating the identified risks in the Mineral Resource estimate. The main objectives were to develop confidence in continuity of mineralisation in the Nyanzaga deposit to a level required for a Feasibility Study. The independent consultant was retained by Indago to undertake an update Mineral Resource Estimate which was completed in May 2009. Drilling was completed on extensions and higher-grade zones internal to the optimised pit shell. • From 2010 to 2014 Acacia undertook an extensive step out and infill drilling program and updated the geological and Mineral Resource models. • During 2015 to 2022 OreCorp Limited completed extensive work, primarily at Nyanzaga (including Kilimani) and also on regional targets. This work has included detailed mapping including structural and alteration mapping, drilling and soil sampling.
Geology		General Commentary • The Tusker and Kilimani projects are located on the north-eastern flank of the Sukumaland Archaean Greenstone Belt. It is hosted within Nyanzian greenstone volcanic rocks and sediments typical of greenstone belts of the East African craton. • The Tusker and Kilimani deposits are orogenic gold deposit types. Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • The Tusker deposit occurs within a sequence of folded Nyanzian sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The current interpretation of the Tusker deposit has recognised a sequence of mudstone, sandstone and chert that are interpreted to form a northerly plunging antiform. • The mineralisation is hosted by a cyclical sequence of chemical and clastic sediments (chert/sandstone/siltstone) bound by footwall and hanging wall volcanoclastic units. • At Tusker, three key alteration assemblages have been identified: Stage 1 - crustiform carbonate stockwork; Stage 2 – silica-sericite dolomite breccia replacement overprint; and Stage 3 – silica sulphide-gold veins. Kilimani • At Kilimani, most of the recognised mineralisation occurs in the oxidised profile. Where intersected in fresh material, the mineralisation is associated with strongly carbonate stock work and disseminated replacement. Mineralisation at Kilimani is reported as stratigraphically controlled in thin chert, mudstone and sandstones. • At Kilimani, the distribution of the gold mineralisation is related to dilation associated with: 1) competency contrast near the sedimentary cycle boundaries resulting in stratabound mineralisation; and 2) sub-vertical faulting, fracturing and brecciation related to the folding and subsequent shearing along the NE limb of the fold.
Drill hole Information		General Commentary • Exploration results are not being presented in this release.
Data aggregation methods		General Commentary • Exploration results are not being presented in this release. • No metal equivalents are used for reporting.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths		General Commentary • Exploration results are not being presented in this release. • The geological interpretation, field mapping and drilling results support the interpretation of a folded plunging anticline within the Tusker mineralisation. Due to the variable orientations, drilling sometimes intersects mineralised structures at a high angle. The influence of these high angle intercepts is largely mitigated by the generation of a three-dimensional geology and mineralisation model controlling the modelled volumes and zones of influence.
Diagrams		General Commentary • Suitable plans demonstrating the location and orientation of drilling are presented in the body of this release.
Balanced reporting		General Commentary

Criteria	Commentary
	• Exploration results are not being presented in this release.
Other substantive exploration data	General Commentary • Other substantive exploration data completed at the Project includes: `o` Airborne and ground magnetics, radiometric, VTEM, gravity and IP geophysical survey work was carried out that defines the stratigraphy, structures possibly influencing mineralisation and chargeability signatures reflecting the extent of disseminated sulfide replacement at depth. Additionally, satellite imagery (GeoImagery) and meta data images were procured. `o` Bulk density measurements were carried out on core samples at 1 m down hole intervals in selected DD drill holes across the Tusker and Kilimani areas. `o` Geotechnical data has been collected by recording alpha, beta, dip direction and structure type. `o` Investigations for the potential of acid rock drainage within the project areas have been initiated. `o` Metallurgical drilling and associated test work has been completed across the Tusker and Kilimani mineralisation areas.
Further work	General Commentary • Perseus has commenced construction of the Nyanzaga Gold Project. Additional investigations and studies are ongoing to further optimise the design and construction of the Project, and to progress the site to Operational Readiness. This includes detailed designs, contract evaluation and execution, grade control and mining studies, and waste landform design and management strategies for the control of any potential acid drainage. • Further drilling may also be completed to test the down dip extensions of the Tusker mineralisation.

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources

Criteria		Commentary
Database integrity		General Commentary • All drilling data is securely stored within the Perseus acQuire™ database and is managed by dedicated personnel within Perseus. • The import/exporting process requires limited keyboard transcription and has multiple built-in safeguards to ensure information is not overwritten or deleted. These include: `o` Data is imported and exported through automated interfaces, with limited manual input. `o` Automated validation checks ensure errors are identified prior to import. `o` Access to edit data stored in acQuire is restricted to key personnel. `o` Audit trail recording changes. • The drillhole database used for Mineral Resource estimation has been internally validated. Methods include checking: `o` Relational integrity, duplicates, and missing or blank assay values. `o` Survey data down-hole consistency. `o` Null and negative grade values.
Site visits		General Commentary • The CP visited the Nyanzaga site on numerous instances, most recently in March 2025. In these site visits the CP has inspected available drilling intersections, operating drill rigs, resource drilling areas, core processing facilities, and the commercial laboratory.
Geological interpretation		Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • The geological confidence is moderate. Geological logging is guided by project scale stratigraphic sequence supported by surface mapping. Significant amounts of diamond drilling have been completed in the project assisting with geological knowledge. • The controls on gold mineralisation are understood with moderate-high confidence. • Drill hole logs were used to guide interpretations of surfaces delineating interfaces between laterite, completely weathered, transitional and fresh rock weathering horizons. • The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology are most likely to be associated with structural controls and local complexity, the knowledge of which is limited with the current spacing of information. This uncertaintyis considered a low risk to the overall interpretation confidence.

Criteria		Commentary
		Kilimani • The geological confidence is moderate. The deep weathering profile and predominance of RC drilling contributes to the geological uncertainty. • The controls on gold mineralisation are understood with moderate confidence. • Drill hole logs were used to guide interpretations of surfaces delineating interfaces between laterite, completely weathered, transitional and fresh rock weathering horizons. • The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology are most likely to be associated with structural controls and local complexity, the knowledge of which is limited with the current spacing of information and limited diamond core. This uncertainty is considered a moderate risk to the overall interpretation confidence.
Dimensions		Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • The Mineral Resource extends along a broadly north-south strike interpreted as centred on an anticlinal fold hinge with a moderately dipping western limb and steeply dipping (sub-vertical) eastern limb. Mineralisation extends approximately 650 m along strike, with mineralisation extending preferentially along the eastern limb up to approximately 750 m down dip. Typical widths vary from tens of metres to in excess of 200 m in the centre of the project area. Kilimani • The Mineral Resource is interpreted to be variably mineralised along a 900 m strike length. Mineralisation is modelled as stratigraphically controlled along preferential lithologies within the gently folded strata. Typical widths vary from several metres up to 10 m across several individual strata.
Estimation and modelling techniques		General Commentary • Resource estimates are completed for gold only. No by-products are present or modelled. • No deleterious elements were estimated or assumed. • No correlated variables have been investigated or estimated. Deposit Specific Commentary Tusker • Resources were estimated for gold using the Localised Uniform Conditioning (LUC) method of one metre down-hole composited gold grades from RC and diamond drilling. The geological modelling was conducted using Leapfrog Geo™ software and resource estimation using Maptek Vulcan™. • The mineralisation envelope was defined by an economic compositing routine within Leapfrog using a grade threshold of 0.3 g/t Au and a minimum downhole length of five metres. • The estimation approach and estimate search strategy was chosen based on inputs criteria including the number of samples, drill hole spacing, mineralisation orientation and variogram model analysis. Estimates were undertaken as hard boundaries into a regular model with blocks with dimensions of 5 mE × 10 mE × 5 mRL. The block size was selected based on drill hole spacing, the geometry of the mineralisation and the indicative selective mining unit (5.0 m × 5.0 m × 2.5 m). • Search ellipses were oriented to reflect the strike and dip directions of the variable mineralisation orientation via use of dynamic anisotropy. Blocks were estimated in a single pass with any unfilled blocks receiving a background waste grade. The search distance was set to approximately half of the modelled variogram ranges with a requirement to find a minimum of 6 composites and maximum of 16 composites for a block to be estimated. An octant restriction of 4 per octant was employed. • Grade caps applied considered the relevant log probability plots, the frequency histogram, and review of spatial distribution, with a cap of 60 g/t Au selected. In addition, a distance restriction was used to control the influence of isolated high grades with a threshold of 20 g/t Au and a distance limit of 40 m × 40 m × 20 m. • Gold grade estimates were validated statistically by comparing mean composited grades to mean estimated grades, by gold grade trends in easting, northing and elevation Swath plots and by visual checks in Vulcan. • The estimation technique is considered appropriate for the mineralisation style and as a basis for the estimation of Ore Reserves that might be recoverable by open pit mining methods.

Criteria		Commentary
		using Leapfrog Geo™ software and resource estimation using Maptek Vulcan™. • The mineralisation envelope was defined by an economic compositing routine within Leapfrog using a grade threshold of 0.3 g/t Au and a minimum downhole length of three metres. A high- grade sub-domain was defined using a grade threshold of 0.8 g/t Au and a minimum downhole length of three metres. Samples within the high-grade subdomain were not available for estimation of the low-grade domain and vice versa (i.e., hard boundary). • The estimation approach and estimate search strategy was chosen based on inputs criteria including the number of samples, drill hole spacing, mineralisation orientation and variogram model analysis. Estimates were undertaken as hard boundaries into a regular model with blocks with dimensions of 5 mE × 10 mE × 5 mRL. The block size was selected based on drill hole spacing, the geometry of the mineralisation and the indicative selective mining unit (5.0 m × 5.0 m × 2.5 m). • Search ellipses were oriented to reflect the strike and dip directions of the variable mineralisation orientation via use of dynamic anisotropy. Blocks were estimated in two passes with any blocks unfilled after the second pass receiving a background waste grade. The first pass search distance was set to approximately the modelled variogram ranges with a requirement to find a minimum of 6 composites and maximum of 14 composites for a block to be estimated. An octant restriction of 4 per octant was employed. The second pass removed the octant restriction and increased the search distance by 50%. • Grade caps applied considered the relevant log probability plots, the frequency histogram, and review of spatial distribution, with capping values ranging from 7 g/t to 30 g/t Au depending on the domain. In addition, a distance restriction was used to control the influence of isolated high grades with a threshold of 4.5 g/t or 16 g/t Au depending on domain and a distance limit of 10 m × 10 m × 10 m. • Gold grade estimates were validated statistically by comparing mean composited grades to mean estimated grades, by gold grade trends in easting, northing and elevation Swath plots and by visual checks in Vulcan. • The estimation technique is considered appropriate for the mineralisation style and as a basis for the estimation of Ore Reserves that might be recoverable by open pit mining methods.
Moisture		General Commentary • Tonnages are reported on a dry basis.
Cut-off parameters		General Commentary • Cut-off grades used for the reporting of Mineral Resources reflect the marginal cut-off grade of mineralisation considering geotechnical, mining and processing parameters and costs established from technical studies, detailed quotations, operational experience, benchmarking against other Perseus operations, and a gold price of US$2,700/oz.
Mining factors or assumptions		General Commentary • Mineral Resource estimates are based on proposed exploitation by conventional open pit load and haul mining methods and ore processing by CIL at the proposed Nyanzaga processing plant. • The estimates do not include adjustments to allow for ore loss or dilution that might occur in either open pit or underground mining and appropriate modifying factors should be applied for estimation of Ore Reserves.
Metallurgical factors or assumptions		General Commentary • Metallurgical gold recoveries are defined by regressions based on various test work programs across the range of ore types and mineralisation hosts. • As Mineral Resources are extended, metallurgical test work programs are routinely performed to adequately characterise the ores and flag potential changes.
Environmental factors or assumptions		General Commentary • There are no known environmental impediments to mining. • Preliminary waste dump designs have been completed and sufficient space is available to dispose of mine waste expected for the deposit. • The tailings storage facility is sufficient to store tailings from the expected mineralisation. • Initial test work of waste rock has identified the presence of potentially acid forming material, as well as material with significant acid buffering potential. It is expected that with appropriate management risks associated with ARD can be mitigated. Additional test work is proposed to improve characterisation process. • There are no known significant concentrations of deleterious elements associated with mineralisation at the Nyanzaga Gold Project.
Bulk density		General Commentary

Criteria		Commentary
		• Density measurements were estimated into the model using Ordinary Kriging (OK) of composited density measurements from diamond drill core collected using the water immersion technique and calculated using Archimedes’ Principle. Average measured densities of 2.06, 2.24, and 2.88 g/cm3were reported for oxide, transitional and fresh respectively. • The estimation domains representing oxide, transitional and fresh material were constructed based on geological logging. • The estimation approach and estimate search strategy was chosen based on inputs criteria including the number of samples, drill hole spacing, and variogram model analysis. Estimates were undertaken into a regular model with blocks with dimensions of 5 mE × 10 mE × 5 mRL. The block size was selected based on drill hole spacing, the geometry of the mineralisation and the indicative selective mining unit (5.0 m × 5.0 m × 2.5 m). • The oxide material was treated as a hard boundary while the transitional and fresh material was estimated as a combined domain (i.e. soft boundary). • Search ellipses were oriented to reflect the strike and dip directions defined from the variography. Blocks were estimated in two passes. The first pass search distance was set to the modelled variogram range for the oxide and approximately half the modelled range for the trans/fresh material. • First pass estimates required a minimum of 6 composites and maximum of 16 composites for a block to be estimated. An octant restriction of 4 per octant was employed for the first pass. The second pass maintained the same sample restrictions however removed the octant constraint. • Density data was assessed against nominal expected ranges with outliers excluded from the estimation dataset. • Density estimates were validated statistically by comparing mean composited values to mean estimated densities, and by density trends in easting, northing and elevation Swath plots, and by visual checks in Leapfrog. • Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis.
Classification		General Commentary • The Competent Person is satisfied that the stated Mineral Resource classification sufficiently reflects the relevant factors of the deposit. • Open pit optimisations were run using current and forecast cost, mining methods and processing parameters and a gold price of US$2,700/oz to define the base of potentially economic open-pit material for the Mineral Resource. • Mineral Resources were classified as Indicated and Inferred on the basis of drill density, search pass, average distance to informing samples, and estimation quality outputs.
Audits or reviews		General Commentary • The Mineral Resource estimate for the Nyanzaga Gold Project including the Tusker and Kilimani mineralisation has been reviewed externally by Cube Consulting Pty Ltd. No material findings were presented.
Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence		General Commentary • The relative accuracy of the Mineral Resource estimate is reflected in the reporting of the Mineral Resource into the respective categories as per the guidelines of the 2012 JORC Code. • The Mineral Resource statement relates to global estimates of tonnes and grade. Additional close spaced (grade control) drilling is required to improve the understanding of variations at local scale. • The Mineral Resource estimates have been classified based on the quality of the data collected, the density of data, the confidence of the geological models and mineralisation models, and the grade estimation quality. This has been applied to a relative confidence based on data density and domain confidence for resource classification. No relative statistical or geostatistical confidence or risk measure has been generated or applied. • The reported open pit Mineral Resource estimates for Nyanzaga are constrained to material lying within optimal pit shells generated using the same cost parameters as were applied to delineate Ore Reserves and a gold price of US$2,700/oz.

	the Mineral Resource estimates.
Site visits	General Commentary • The Competent Person for the Ore Reserve, Mr Adrian Ralph (Fellow AusIMM) has visited the Nyanzaga Gold Mine during May 2024 and February 2026.
Study status	General Commentary • The Mineral Resources have been converted to Ore Reserves by means of Feasibility level studies. • Key aspects of the study were technically achievable mine designs and schedules, with results included into a financial model to ensure economic viability. • Modifying Factors were considered and applied where necessary.
Cut-off parameters	General Commentary • The cut-off grade is based o	n the economic parameters developed for the operation. CUT-OFF GRADE BY ORE TYPE(g/t gold) Oxide Transition/ Fresh 0.3 0.4 0.3 0.4
	DEPOSIT	CUT	-OFF GRADE BY ORE TYPE(g/t gold)
		Oxide	Transition/ Fresh
	Tusker Open Pit	0.3	0.4
	Kilimani Open Pit	0.3	0.4

Mining factors or assumptions	General Commentary • The mining method is conventional open pit mining utilising hydraulic excavators and trucks, mining bench heights of 10 m with 2.5 m to 3.0 m flitches to minimise ore loss and waste rock dilution. • The Tusker and Kilimani open pits are based on re-blocked versions of the respective Mineral Resource models to a nominal SMU block size of 5.0 mX × 5.0 mY × 5.0 mZ to reflect mining dilution and ore loss. No additional dilution or mining recovery factors have been applied. • For Tusker and Kilimani, an economic pit shell was defined using Whittle pit optimisation software with inputs such as geotechnical parameters, metallurgical recovery and mining costs at a US$2,300/oz gold price. • The pit optimisation was run with revenue generated only by M&I Mineral Resources. No value was allocated to Inferred Mineral Resources. • Whittle input parameters are based on Perseus Mining Limited site operating experience and existing test work and supporting technical studies. • The pit slope design parameters for Nyanzaga have been refined based on an updated rock mass, structural and geotechnical test work database from the completion of an additional geotechnical diamond drilling program in 2025 consisting of 16 drillholes for a total of 6,150 metres. The program was designed by MineGeoTech Pty Ltd based on identified data gaps in previous studies. The field program was executed by Perseus. All drillholes from the program were sampled and a suite of geotechnical test work selected to complement the existing database was completed by E Precision laboratories in Perth, Western Australia. • Televiewer and geophysical surveys (optical and acoustic televiewer and gamma logs) were also undertaken on the same drillholes from the geotechnical program by Well Force International with data collected from 14 of 16 drillholes to support and improve confidence in the geotechnical data collected. Difficulty was encountered running the tools for some sections of some of the holes resulting in partial records. • Inter-ramp slope angles are optimised in the designs to be a maximum of 36.0 to 55.9 degrees, depending on geotechnical domain and slope design sector. The configurations incorporate batter heights ranging 10 to 20 metres vertically and minimum berm widths of between 5 to 10 metres. • A conventional reverse circulation drilling (RC) grade control program is scheduled as part of the mining sequence. This has been accounted for in mining cost estimates. • Pit ramps have been designed for a 150-tonne payload truck fleet and are set at 28 metres (dual lane) to 20 metres (single lane). Minimum mining with is 40 m for the 150 -tonne class truck fleet. • Inferred Mineral Resources have not been included in the Ore Reserve. • There are no constraints to mining within the lease area. • No property, infrastructure or environmental issues are known to exist which may limit the extent of mining within the mining lease, with the exception for a 200 m buffer zone which is required by the Tanzanian Government. Allowing for the buffer zone does not impact the Ore Reserves.
Metallurgical factors or assumptions	General Commentary • The Nyanzaga process is designed to use crushing, grinding, gravity recovery and cyanide leaching to extract gold. Nameplate throughput for the process plant is 5 Mt/a for the projected ore blend requiring the highest specific energy input (which is based on 85thpercentile specific energy for each ore type proportionally in the blend) through the selected SAB grinding circuit at a grind size of P8075µm. Perseus has used the average specific energyfor each ore type as the basis of

Criteria	Commentary	Commentary	Commentary	Commentary	Commentary
	calculating instantaneous mill throughput and has considered 8,000 h/a runtime (91.3% of total hours per year) for process production scheduling. Perseus has used ore specific throughputs ranging from 4.76 Mt/a for the hardest fresh ore type, through to 6.0 Mt/a for oxide ore. • Metallurgical test work conducted is representative of the different material types throughout the mining area. Additional test work is planned for H1 CY26 to confirm results to date. • The process design includes a mercury handling circuit due to the low-level presence of mercury across the Nyanzaga ore types. Provision has been made in sustaining capital for a water treatment plant should other low concentration deleterious elements that may be leached (arsenic, antimony) present operational challenges in the future. Currently test work and modelling indicates that arsenic and antimony will not affect metallurgical performance, and they will be contained within the tailings and process water systems. • The process metallurgical recovery for gold is determined by material type in each deposit.

Environmental	General Commentary • No environmental issues are known to exist which will prevent open pit mining and ore processing to operate. Perseus has sufficient space available for waste dumps to store the expected quantities of mine waste rock associated with the Nyanzaga Gold Mine Ore Reserve. Based on existing historical test work, the Nyanzaga gold project may contain rock that is potentially acid generating. Test work is currently being conducted to further refine definitions of acid generating, acid neutralising, and acid consuming material. Scheduling of material based on net acid generating properties will be implemented to prevent any acid rock drainage, which may be accomplished by a combination of encapsulation and/or blending of material. • A spring on the Northeast corner of the lease, Suswa Spring, will not be disturbed by mining activities and access for the local community will be maintained. • A 200 m buffer boundary has been allowed for around the inside of the mining lease that will not contain any mining activities, as required by the Tanzanian Government.
Infrastructure	General Commentary • Power supply will be from the national grid system supplied by the Tanzania Electric Supply Company (TANESCO). • Raw water supply will be predominantly from Lake Victoria and supplemented by groundwater extracted from dedicated boreholes. Process water will be predominantly supplied by water recovered from the tailings storage facility decant. • Access to site is via public road from Ngoma. • A camp is being established to accommodate non-local employees. • Workshops, offices, storage of reagents and laboratory are being established at the processing plant to support open pit and processing activities.
Costs	General Commentary • Mining costs are based on schedule of rates provided by tenders received from contract miners. Mining contractors were provided with a preliminary mining schedule and requested to provide costs for all mining activities. Mining costs have further been benchmarked against Perseus existing open pit operations. • Processing costs were developed by Lycopodium Minerals Pty Ltd, with input on labour costs provided by Perseus. • General and administrative costs (G&A), selling and royalties costs were developed by Perseus. • Gold is the only metal considered in the Ore Reserves. • Allowances have been made for royalties, inspection fees and service levies payable to the Tanzanian government. • All costs are in US$.
Revenue factors	General Commentary • A gold price of US$2,300/oz was used for mine planning and pit optimisation. • Economic modelling by Perseus is at US$3,000/oz.
Market assessment	General Commentary

Criteria		Commentary
		• The demand for gold is considered in the gold price used. • It was considered that gold will be marketable beyond the processing life. • The processing forecast and mine life are based on life of mine plans. • The commodity is not an industrial metal.
Economic		General Commentary • A schedule and economic model has been completed by Perseus as part of ongoing operational mine planning, which includes Ore Reserves. • Results from the financial model confirm that the Project is economically viable. • Project NPV (post-tax) is estimated to be US$864M based on a US$3,000/oz gold price and 10% discount rate. • Note that as the gold price changes so too will the economic limits of the pits and their Reserves. Consequently, the size of the Project will therefore adjust to suit the revised economics.
Social		General Commentary • The Nyanzaga Gold Project will be operated by Perseus for a minimum of 16 financial years. • All relevant structures will be put in place to consider the community, their requirements and their expectations. Perseus has established relevant agreements with local stakeholders. • Perseus will use skilled expatriate workers and locally sourced skilled workers.
Other		General Commentary • The estimate of Ore Reserves for the deposits are not materially affected by any other known environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political or other relevant factors other than that described in the preceding text. • It is believed that the classification of Ore Reserves as set out in the following sections is reasonable.
Classification		General Commentary • The Ore Reserve is classified as Proved and Probable in accordance with the requirements of the JORC Code (2012), corresponding to the Mineral Resource classifications of Measured and Indicated and taking into account other factors where relevant. The deposit’s geological model is well constrained. The Ore Reserve classification is considered appropriate given the nature of the deposit, the moderate grade variability, drilling density and structural complexity. Therefore, it was deemed appropriate to use Indicated Mineral Resources as a basis for Probable Reserves. • There are currently no Measured Mineral Resources at Nyanzaga. • The Competent Person is satisfied that the stated Ore Reserve classification reflects the relevant factors of the deposit.
Audits or reviews		General Commentary • The Nyanzaga Ore Reserve estimate is based on a Mineral Resource which has been Independently reviewed as described on Section 3 above.
Discussion of relative accuracy/ confidence		General Commentary • The accuracy and confidence of the inputs are, as a minimum, of a Feasibility level. • The key factors that are likely to affect the accuracy and confidence in the Ore Reserves are: `o` Accuracy of the underlying Resource block models; `o` Changes in gold prices and sales agreements; `o` Changes in metallurgical recovery; `o` Mining loss and dilution; `o` Changes to the cost base due to supply challenges or inflationary pressures over time. • The Ore Reserve has utilised all parameters provided as made available. • The accuracy of the underlying Mineral Resources is defined by the Resource Category that the Mineral Resources are assigned to. Only Indicated Mineral Resources have been used as a basis for estimating Ore Reserves.
