OPERATIONS

PRODUCTION, COSTS AND NOTIONAL CASHFLOW

Perseus’s three operating gold mines, Yaouré and Sissingué in Côte d’Ivoire, and Edikan in Ghana, produced a combined total of 121,237 ounces of gold in Q4 FY25. The weighted average production cost was US$1,038 per ounce, while the weighted average AISC was US$1,417 per ounce.

In Q4 FY25, combined gold sales from all three operations totalled 131,242 ounces or 13,657 ounces more than in Q3 FY25 due to the timing of shipments. The weighted average realised gold price was US$2,977 per ounce, US$515 per ounce more than the Q3 FY25 price of US$2,462 per ounce.

Perseus’s average cash margin for the quarter was US$1,560 per ounce resulting in notional operating cashflow from all operations of US$189 million, US$37 million more than in Q3 FY25.

These strong operating results, summarised in Tables 1 to 3 below, confirm Perseus’s position as one of the world’s better performing mid-tier gold producers.

Figure 1: Growth in gold production at attractive cash margins

YAOURÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D'IVOIRE

Refer to Table 4 below for details of Yaouré Gold Mine's operating and financial parameters during Q4 FY25.

During the quarter, Yaouré produced 70,259 ounces of gold, 2% more than the prior quarter, at a production cost of US$809 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,180 per ounce. In total, 77,750 ounces of gold from Yaouré were sold at a weighted average sale price of US$3,004 per ounce. This resulted in an average cash margin of US$1,824 per ounce for the quarter. Notional operating cashflow generated by Yaouré during the quarter was US$128 million, compared with US$99 million in Q3 FY25

Mill throughput averaged 509 tph, slightly below the prior quarter's 514 tph, due to increased high-grade fresh ore blend added in May and June 2025. Mill run-time was 93.8%, compared to 95.3% previously.

Operating performance at Yaouré improved in Q4 FY25 relative to the prior quarter. Gold production was up 2%, driven by a 4% increase in head grade, with gold recovery remaining comparable to the prior quarter.

Yaouré saw a modest increase in each of its unit costs during the quarter, most notably in relation to royalties and sustaining capital. The increase in royalties is a result of the heightened gold price sustained over the duration of the quarter, whilst the increase in sustaining capital primarily relates to ongoing works on the tailings storage facility expansion. Although the gold price has increased royalties, it has also had a positive impact on the average realised sales price, which increased 24% from the prior quarter. This has led to an increase in cash margin and notional cash flow of 27% and 30% respectively.

MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION

Table 5 shows the reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained gold relative to the Yaouré Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

In Q4 FY25, tonnes processed at Yaouré were 25% higher than predicted, while the head grade was 15% lower, resulting in contained gold being 6% above the MRE prediction. This represents an improvement against the Q3 2024 reported results. Although mined grades remained below expectation, higher tonnage continues to offset this divergence, allowing the site to maintain a positive metal variance. Over the six and 12-month periods, the same pattern has persisted. Reconciliation performance in the CMA pit is largely attributed to edge effects associated with blasting and mining of the final benches of the open pit where mining expected to finish in Q1 FY26. At the Yaouré pit, the current reconciliation performance remains outside of acceptable ranges, however work progressed during the quarter on a range of measures to improve grade reliability, including the implementation of an updated grade control methodology suitable for the differences in structural setting seen within the Yaouré deposit. As these measures continue to be implemented across site, improvements in reconciliation performance are expected.

EDIKAN GOLD MINE, GHANA

Table 6 below summarises the key operating and financial parameters recorded at the Edikan Gold Mine during Q4 FY25 and in relevant prior periods.

Edikan produced 38,865 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$1,060 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,482 per ounce during the quarter. Edikan’s production was down and AISC was up compared to the previous quarter (-7% and 26% respectively). Gold sales of 42,033 ounces were 4% higher than in the prior quarter at a weighted average realised gold price of US$2,932 per ounce. This was US$381 more than in the prior quarter, generating an average cash margin of US$1,451 per ounce. Notional cashflow of US$56 million was generated by Edikan during the quarter, 2% less than in Q3 FY25.

During the quarter, the head grade of processed ore was 0.86 g/t, down from 0.95 g/t; throughput averaged 794 tph, slightly lower than 800 tph; gold recovery was 87.9%, down from 88.3%; and mill run-time was 93%, compared to 90% previously.

AISC for the quarter was US$1,482 per ounce, US$305 per ounce higher than the previous quarter. This increase reflects the transition from the AG and Fetish pits to the Nkosuo pit, resulting in a higher strip ratio during early-stage mining and lower recovery from processing oxide material rather than fresh ore that was mined in AG and Fetish. Delays in ramping up Nkosuo due to wet weather required processing of lower grade stockpiles, further impacting head grade and gold production.

Mining at the Nkosuo deposit, was also constrained by limited access to parts of the designated mining area. Negotiations for land access and compensation for affected landowners and farmers have progressed more slowly than planned. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Ghanaian government has intervened in the dispute with landowners, and a resolution is considered imminent which will allow Perseus full access to the deposit and enable mining of higher-grade material than was available during the quarter.

During the quarter, the current phase of Fetish Pit was completed, and equipment reassigned to Nkosuo. Finalisation of mining in the AG Pit was prevented by wet weather during the quarter, but this is expected to occur shortly. Plans are now being developed for a further cutback of the Fetish pit and the Esuajah North Pit in future periods.

MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION

Table 7 shows the reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained gold relative to the Edikan MRE.

In Q4 FY25, ore tonnes processed were 10% greater than predicted, with a 11% reduction in head grade, resulting in slightly lower (2%) contained gold. This is attributed to mining constraints at the bottom of the Fetish pit, and interactions with historical artisanal workings in the Nkosuo pit. While the six-month performance is affected by lower grades (-8%), the 12-month performance remains within an acceptable range with block model estimates achieving actual milled grades.

Perseus

MINING

The Complex produced 12,113 ounces of gold during the quarter at a weighted average AISC of US$2,584 per ounce. Compared to the previous quarter, gold production increased 9% while AISC decreased 6%. The improved performance was primarily due to an improvement in head grade, which averaged 1.12 g/t compared to 1.03 g/t in Q3. A portion of the Airport West pit was mined for high-grade oxide ore, while waste stripping progressed at Fimbiasso West and Sissingué Stage 4 to access higher grade ore.

Mill runtime at 96% was up from previous quarter 94%. Throughput averaged 180 tph, below the 188 tph achieved in Q3, primarily due to a higher proportion of fresh ore in the blend. Gold recovery improved marginally to 88.3%, from 87.4% in Q3.

The improved operating performance in Q4 FY25 has resulted in a cash margin of US$372 per ounce, resulting in a notional cashflow of approximately US$5 million for the quarter.

MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION

Table 9 shows the reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained gold relative to the Sissingué MRE.

In Q4 FY25, tonnes mined at Sissingué exceeded MRE predictions by 11%, while the head grade was 21% lower than predicted. This resulted in a 13% reduction in contained gold compared to the prediction. The positive tonnage variance was driven by two factors, the first being the continued discovery of additional material through grade control drilling at the Sissingué Main pit, and the second being the increased dilution associated with mining of narrow structures at each of Sissingué Main and Fimbiasso West.

Both factors contribute to the lower grades reported as compared to the block model estimates. Continuous monitoring of blast performance and improvement initiatives are in place to minimise dilution in these mining areas. Over the longer six- and 12-month periods, ore tonnes consistently exceeded the prediction, while head grade remained slightly below expectations. Perseus considers this outcome to be in line with operational expectations.

BAGOÉ EXPLOITATION PERMIT

During the quarter, negotiations continued with various departments of the Ivorian Government on the terms of the Mining Convention to govern the development and operation of mining operations on the Bagoé Mining Licence that was granted in June 2024. The negotiations have progressed but at a much slower rate than desirable and signing of the Convention is expected to occur once all formalities are completed, either in late Q1 FY26 or early the following quarter.

Mining operations are scheduled to commence at the Antoinette deposit in Q2 FY26 and progressively move to the Veronique pit in subsequent periods. Work is currently underway to prepare for the construction of infrastructure required to support the Bagoé mining operation. Several tenders were issued this quarter, including fuel supply and ore haulage. Major contract awards are expected to be finalised in early Q1 FY26. The Grade control drilling also commenced at Antoinette, and early in-pit boreholes will be drilled in Q1 FY26 to assist with wall stability and mining conditions, particularly during future wet seasons.

FIVE-YEAR GOLD PRODUCTION OUTLOOK

During the quarter, Perseus published its Five-Year Operating Outlook for the period from FY26 to FY30. The outlook included forecasts of both gold production and AISC for its producing mines located in Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire and the soon to be completed Nyanzaga Gold Mine in Tanzania. The outlook is based on planning assumptions that reflect current operating conditions at each of the existing mines and employs operating assumption that underpinned FID for the CMA underground mining operation at the Yaouré Gold Mine in Côte d'Ivoire (see ASX announcement "Perseus Mining takes Final Investment Decision on CMA underground project at Yaouré" dated 28 January 2025), as well as the development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project (NGP) in Tanzania (see ASX announcement "Perseus Mining proceeds with development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project" dated 28 April 2025).

Perseus forecasts producing between 2.6 – 2.7 million ounces of gold during the five-year period, with average annual gold production in the range of 515,000 – 535,000 ounces. The weighted average AISC over the five-year period is forecast to be US$1,400 – US$1,500 per ounce, with no more than ±10% change year-on-year over the period, emphasising the benefit of our portfolio approach to asset management.

Perseus

MINING

At an assumed long-term gold price of US$2,400 per ounce, Perseus's cash operating margin is expected to consistently exceed US$500 per ounce at all mines over the five-year period and in some periods, it is significantly higher. The five-year outlook is underpinned by a high level of geological and technical confidence with 93% of the gold ounces produced as part of the plan comprising existing Ore Reserves, with the remaining 7% of production forecast from Measured or Indicated Mineral Resources.

Inferred Mineral Resources and other upside projections of mineralisation were specifically omitted from Perseus's Five-Year Outlook but do represent material upside potential if they can be converted to Measured or Indicated Resources through future drilling programmes, as would additional gold production acquired by Perseus through any M&A activity that may take place during this period.

The chart below tracks Perseus's actual AISC performance relative to the guided AISC range since January 2020. This chart demonstrates that Perseus has consistently outperformed relative to its guided AISC. This outperformance is not solely a function of conservative cost estimation but rather, it can be attributed to tight cost control across the operations, identification and adoption of business improvement initiatives, and the fact that Perseus has been able to consistently deliver in the upper range of its production targets through efficient mining and processing practices.

img-2.jpeg

The rise relative to prior periods in Perseus's guided AISC in FY25 as noted above can be attributed to a range of factors which have been considered in forecasting future operating costs, including an assumed gold price of US$2,700 per ounce for the period.

A trend of rising costs is evident in the global gold sector, including in West Africa, driven by a range of factors, not the least of which is a steady increase in royalties and indirect charges payable to host governments (and others) which are a function of prevailing gold prices. In other words, as the price of gold rises, so too do expectations by host governments and host communities of an increasing share of the higher gold prices. This occurs in the form of higher royalty and gold price linked indirect charges by governments as well as an increase in the cost of land access and contributions to community assistance funds, demanded by host communities.

Other factors that impact Perseus's operating costs include the rising cost of wages, freight costs and therefore consumables and the fact that in some operations, as they mature, haul distances and elevations increase and facilities such as tailings dams require expansion. In addition, forecast costs are impacted by site specific factors outside of Perseus's control such as at Yaouré, where an expected interruption is expected to the availability of power from the Ivorian power grid in H1 FY26 caused by planned maintenance of power stations that contribute power to the grid. It has been assumed that Perseus will be required to make significantly more use of its standby generators during this period which operate at a cost that is materially above grid power costs.

CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT OUTLOOK

In line with the publication of the Five-Year Outlook, it is anticipated that ~US$450 million (H1 ~US$200 million, H2 ~US$250 million) will be spent in FY26 on capital development projects. Of this amount, the largest expenditure will occur at the CMA underground mine development at Yaouré (~US$80 million), capitalised waste stripping at Edikan (~US$20 million) and the Nyanzaga Gold Project in Tanzania (~US$340 million).

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

NYANZAGA GOLD PROJECT (NGP), TANZANIA

During the quarter, Perseus announced its FID to develop the NGP following an update of the NGP Feasibility Study (FS) (refer to ASX Release entitled “Perseus Mining Proceeds with Development of the Nyanzaga Gold Project” dated 28 April 2025). Perseus committed to invest approximately US$523 million (including contingency) to develop and prepare for the operation of the mine, expected to produce first gold in Q3 FY27. The NGP development will be solely financed via non-interest bearing, intercompany loans provided by Perseus from its existing cash and bullion balance of US$827 million as of 30 June 2025.

An updated Nyanzaga FS was also released during the quarter, that incorporates findings and recommendations from a range of comprehensive technical assessments made by Perseus’s technical team (refer to ASX Release entitled “Perseus releases Technical Report for the Nyanzaga Gold Project” dated 10 June 2025). Perseus has opted for a large scale, wholly open-pit mining operation, for the first phase of development, in preference to a smaller scale, combined open pit / underground option contemplated by the previous owners. Key metrics associated with the NGP include the following:

Production & Cost Metrics:

  • Total gold production over an 11-year mine life is currently estimated to be 2.01 million ounces based on a JORC 2012 compliant Probable Ore Reserve of 52.0 Mt @ 1.40 g/t gold for 2.3 million ounces.
  • Gold production averages more than 200,000 ounces of gold per annum from FY28 to FY35, with peak production of 246,000 ounces in FY28.
  • Over the life of the mine, the estimated average AISC is US$1,211 per ounce.
  • Capital cost for the plant and site infrastructure is estimated at US$472 million, inclusive of US$49 million of contingency; and pre-production capital of US$51 million giving a total capital cost to first gold pour of US$523 million.

Investment Metrics¹:

  • Undiscounted free cashflow pre-tax of US$1,133 million and US$706 million post-tax, increasing to US$2,252 million pre-tax and US$1,471 million post-tax using of US$2,700 per ounce.
  • Net Present Value (NPV10%) of US$404 million pre-tax and US$202 million post-tax (US$1,010 million pre-tax and US$617 million post-tax at US$2,700 per ounce).
  • Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 26% pre-tax and 19% post-tax (45% pre-tax and 34% post-tax at US$2,700 per ounce).

¹Note: Calculated on a 100% ownership basis and applying an assumed long-term gold price of $2,100 per ounce.

Prior to FID, Perseus spent approximately US$27.5 million to build project team capacity, continue with engineering and design work and commence early works. Since taking the FID, construction activity has ramped up with major packages of work being progressed through to award, process plant bulk earthworks initiated, and permanent camp infrastructure construction started.

Construction Progress Post FID:

Construction activities onsite are gathering strong momentum, with our process plant EPCM contractor mobilised in June along with the concrete contractor. During the reporting period, several key work fronts have seen significant progress:

  • Bulk Earthworks: Terracing activities for the camp area are well underway, with particular emphasis on the Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) and milling sections of the process plant. These areas have been successfully handed over to the EPCM contractor, who have now commenced construction.
  • Camp Construction: Development of a new brick-and-iron camp is progressing well. A brick-making facility has been established onsite, using locally sourced materials. The initiative is being supported by a local workforce, providing economic opportunities to the nearby community.
  • Ngoma Bypass Road: The Ngoma bypass road, designed to divert trucks and other vehicles away from the centre of Ngoma village during transit to the site, is now open to traffic. Full completion is expected within this quarter.
  • Resettlement Housing: Significant progress has been made on the resettlement housing project, with new homes being delivered to project-affected families as part of our ongoing commitment to community support and development.
  • As of 30 June 2025, of the total project budget of US$523.1 million, approximately US$42.9 million has been spent and a further US$26.8 million committed through open purchase orders. In terms of overall schedule, the Project is approximately 4.6% complete and on schedule for first gold pour in January 2027.

Government Relations:

  • Negotiation of amendments to the Framework and Shareholder Agreement relating to the NGP by Perseus and the Government Negotiating Team were successfully completed early in the quarter and documents were prepared for execution. As at the date of this report, execution of the documents has not occurred pending completion of formalities by the Government. Perseus has received assurances from key government officials that execution of documents will occur during Q1 FY26.
  • The official opening of the Magufuli Bridge on 19 June 2025 presents substantial benefits for the project. Spanning 3.2 kilometres across Lake Victoria, this bridge is the longest in East Africa and expected to be transformational for the region. For the project, it will significantly reduce travel time between Mwanza, Tanzania's second-largest city, and the Nyanzaga site, enhancing logistics and accessibility during both construction and operations.

CMA UNDERGROUND, YAOURÉ

Since announcing in Q3 FY25 its intention to develop the CMA Underground mine at Yaouré, (refer to ASX Release entitled "Perseus Mining Takes Final Investment Decision CMA Underground Project at Yaouré" dated 28 January 2025), Perseus has been working to prepare for the start of underground mining activities scheduled for Q1 FY26.

During Q4 FY25, underground operational readiness preparations continued to ensure a smooth integration of future underground activities with the existing Yaouré operation. Significant progress was made in recruiting the Perseus technical operations team, with most personnel now mobilised on site.

Byrnecut, our primary underground contractor, has mobilised key project personnel in preparation for the commencement of mining operations. Recruitment for local roles advanced during the quarter, with job advertisements placed within the community, interviews conducted, and suitable candidates selected.

The planned underground portal locations, which were exposed earlier in the year, have been fully prepared for initial underground excavation and ground support activities. Construction of surface infrastructure, including camp facilities, electrical tie-ins, and maintenance areas to support underground operations has progressed well. Operational

management plans and risk assessments have been developed and reviewed; both are now in place to support the upcoming underground activities.

The Ivorian Minerals Commission and the Ministry of Environment approved for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) to formally recognise the introduction of underground mining activities at Yaouré. This approval was expected to lead to the issuance of a Ministerial Arrêté permitting the commencement of underground mining activities and the importation of key mining equipment into Côte d'Ivoire. Following the end of the quarter, Perseus was recently informed by the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy that, based on updated internal guidance, the authorisation process will now proceed via Presidential Decree, rather than Ministerial Arrêté. The Ministry remains fully supportive of the project and is actively guiding the process to secure the necessary Presidential approval. In parallel, the site management team are reviewing the development and production schedule and mine development sequencing to see what changes can be made to mitigate the impact of this unexpected timing adjustment.

EXPLORATION

During Q4 FY25, Perseus continued to perform both organic and inorganic activities aimed at making new discoveries and adding to the Company's Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve inventories.

CÔTE D'IVOIRE

YAOURÉ, YAOURÉ CENTRAL AND KOSSOU EXPLOITATION AND EXPLORATION PERMITS

Exploration activities on the Yaouré exploitation permit during the quarter focused on resource definition drilling at the Yaouré Pit, Zain 1 and Zain 2 prospects, SterEX (sterilization-exploration drilling) inside the mine take as well as work assessing regional exploration targets on the Yaouré West Permit. (Refer to Appendix 1, Figure 1.1).

At Yaouré Pit, 827m were drilled in seven RC holes to test mineralisation between the pit and the footprint of the waste dump. No significant intercepts were reported, and the area was sterilized.

At Zain 1, authorization was granted by the Mines department to drill between 300m and 100m radius inside the Magazine of explosives exclusion zone. Some 6,872.80m were drilled this quarter in 28 RC and RC pre-collared diamond holes, including eleven holes drilled for geotechnical and metallurgical purposes. The programme was 40% complete at the end of the quarter and was aimed at testing possible extension of the Zain 1 mineralisation towards Southeast.

At Zain 2, 374.70m were drilled in four diamond holes for geotechnical purposes. Additional Z2 results received during the quarter continued to confirm continuity of the mineralisation along an NNW oriented trend. High grades were reported in a number of holes. Resource estimation was underway at the end of the quarter.

At Yaouré West, field mapping continued over selected targets, with a focus on identifying possible sources to the Zagouta alluvial gold down topographic highs. Although the hill tops NE of the alluvial workings were mostly covered with lateritic duricrust, strongly magnetized intrusives and mafic volcanics were encountered South of Kami. No gold was detected in the rock samples collected this quarter. Soil geochemistry was conducted over previously uncovered or widely spaced-sampled areas. Gold anomalous was detected in the Southeast of the grid.

SISSINGUÉ / FIMBIASSO AND MAHALE PERMITS EXPLOITATION AND EXPLORATION PERMITS

Diamond drilling was conducted at Sissingué with 240.10m drilled in one hole at Sissingué. The hole was aimed at defining strike and down plunge extent of the very high-grade zone intercepted in SRC1512D (39m at 14.14 g/t from 178m). The proposed Stage 5 cut-back at Sissingué is mainly driven by that high-grade zone. Assay results indicated continuity of the mineralisation down-dip and are currently being interpreted and integrated into the updated resource and design. There was no drilling at Fimbiasso and Mahalé during the reporting period.

BAGOÉ EXPLOITATION PERMIT

A total of 534.76m of core were drilled in six holes at Bagoé for geotechnical purposes.

MEYAS SAND GOLD PROJECT, SUDAN

The Meyas Sand Gold Project (MSGP) located in the far north of Sudan, approximately 75km south of the border with Egypt, is fully permitted by the Sudanese Government with a Mining Lease, Royalty agreement and a water permit formally granted incorporating attractive fiscal terms, and clearly delineated rights and obligations of key stakeholders. (Refer to Appendix 1, Figure 1.4).

As reported in previous releases, armed conflict in Sudan, particularly in Khartoum as well as the southern and western regions of the country, has made advancement of the MSGP challenging. The military situation around the MSGP site is stable and conflict-free and Perseus's key national and expatriate staff remain on site at MSGP and have re-established services and logistics in support of exploration activities. Perseus continued exploration and drilling activity in the Galat Sufur South deposit area during the quarter.

In anticipation of peace being restored in Sudan, Perseus is examining a number of options to advance the project. We are also considering updating the Feasibility Study for the MSGP which will be required to convert the published Foreign Mineral Reserve Estimate that currently stands at 2.85 million ounces of gold¹, into a JORC-compliant Ore Reserve, taking into account the results of recently completed exploration drilling.

During the quarter, exploration activities focused on detailed interpretation and the strategic planning of follow-up drilling programmes. These programmes are designed for both the existing mining lease and the GSS deposit, with the objective of augmenting the current resource base. Concurrently, planning is underway for follow-up drilling at identified regional exploration targets to advance them to resource status, with priority given to Khandagawi, Drill Camp, Area 5, EG2.2, and EG2.4.

Regional geological mapping progressed steadily, successfully covering areas to the southwest of the GSS mining operation and Drill Camp West. This critical fieldwork is scheduled for continuation into the subsequent quarter. The trenches and channel lines samples which were completed in the last quarter have been prepared and packed in drums to be shipped to the laboratory for analysis.

¹ The Information in this announcement relating to Mineral Reserve Estimates for MSGP is contained in a technical report ("Feasibility Study") entitled "Feasibility Study, NI 43-101 Technical Report, Block 14 Gold Project, Republic of Sudan" prepared by Lycopodium Minerals Pty Limited and is effective as of 31 August 2020.

GROUP FINANCIAL POSITION

CASHFLOW AND BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)

Perseus achieved a net increase of $26 million in its overall net cash position (cash plus bullion less interest-bearing debt) during the prior quarter, ending with cash and bullion on hand of US$827 million, including cash of US$752 million and 22,722 ounces of bullion on hand, valued at US$75 million (valued at the closing spot price at 30 June 2025 of $3,287 per ounce) and zero debt.

At quarter-end, Perseus also owned US$118 million of investments in listed securities (US$111 million at 31 March), including but not limited to 17.8% of Predictive Discovery Limited.

The graph below (Figure 2) shows the notional operating cash flows from the three mines achieved during the quarter, the largest single driver of cash movement, and compares this to historical data derived over the past two years.

The overall movement in cash and bullion during the quarter is shown below in (Figure 3). Aside from the operating margin (US$229 million), other relevant movements related to organic growth expenditure (US$15 million), capital expenditure (US$80 million), dividends paid to shareholders and non-controlling interests (US$27 million), corporate head office and financing outflows (US$4 million), taxation paid (US$69 million), share buyback payments (US$28 million) and working capital and other sundry movements (US$26 million).

"Operating Margin" is obtained by taking from the gold sales revenue the actual cash costs incurred for the quarter (excluding Sustaining Capital).

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Perseus has continued its on-market share buy-back undertaking. Taking into account Perseus's future expected operating and cash flow requirements, the Board unanimously approved an on-market share buy-back for up to A$100 million which commenced on 24 September 2024 and to be completed within 12 months.

At the end of June, 20,677,956 Perseus shares have been purchased as part of the Board approved on-market buyback, averaging A$3.14 per share for a total cash outflow of A$65.0 million. At the date of this report, the buyback is approximately 73% complete and 22,995,853 shares have been purchased and subsequently cancelled for a total cash outflow of A$73.0 million.

GOLD PRICE HEDGING

At the end of the quarter, Perseus had a Committed hedge position (Fixed Forwards and Call Options) of 240,000 ounces, equating to approximately 16% of the three-year forecast production. Replacing Fixed Forwards with Collar Options allows Perseus to participate in gold price increases up to the Call Option strike price. The weighted average price of the 105,000 Call Options is US$3,692 per ounce.

During the quarter, Perseus also purchased additional Put Options (Uncommitted). At the end of the quarter, Perseus had Put Options covering 160,000 ounces, with an Uncommitted hedge position equating to approximately 20% of the three-year forecast production. These Put Options provide downside protection at US$2,600/oz.

ALL-IN SUSTAINING COST (UNAUDITED)

Figure 4 below illustrates the reconciliation between the Group's All-In-Site-Cost and its All-In-Sustaining-Cost. The All-In-Sustaining-Cost is calculated using ounces sold, as opposed to ounces recovered used for All-In-Site-Costs and includes adjustments for inventory movements (non-cash) as well as the Group's corporate administration overheads (cash).
