  • Relative to the prior quarter, gold production was up 6% to 68,772 ounces, production costs up 2% to US$823 per ounce and AISCs up 3% to US$964 per ounce.

  • Gold sales decreased 23% to 60,441 ounces, weighted average gold sales price increased 3% to US$1,595 per ounce and notional cashflow increased 8% to US$43.1 million.

  • Edikan and Sissingué are forecast to continue to produce strongly in the December 2020 quarter, and Yaouré is now expected to contribute to the Perseus group’s production performance in this period for the first time.

  • Gold production and AISC guidance for the December 2020 Half Year remains unchanged at 125,500 to 139,000 ounces at an AISC of US$940 to US$1,025 per ounce.

Yaouré development project on schedule and budget

  • Development of Yaouré remains on schedule to achieve the stretch target of pouring first gold in late December 2020.

  • Project development was 85% complete, with US$222.7 million (84%) of the US$265.0 million budgeted project cost committed and US$191.4 million (72%) paid to suppliers of goods and services, by 30 September 2020.

Balance Sheet strength maintained by strong cash flows

  • Available cash and bullion on hand at 30 September 2020 totalled US$147.4 million, a decrease of US$16.2 million relative to 30 June 2020. Corporate debt remains fully drawn to the facility limit of US$150 million giving a net debt position of US$2.6 million.

FINANCIAL POSITION

(Unaudited) Cashflow and Balance Sheet

==> picture [129 x 51] intentionally omitted <==

In summary, Perseus has enjoyed a strong quarter in terms of cash flow generation and has maintained balance sheet strength notwithstanding ongoing investment in the development of the Yaouré Gold Mine and in exploration programmes aimed at providing organic growth.

Based on the spot gold price of US$1,887 per ounce and an A$:US$ exchange rate of 0.7141 at 30 September 2020, the total value of cash and bullion on hand at the end of the quarter was A$206.5 million, (US$147.4 million) including cash of A$167.0 million (US$119.3 million) and 14,925 ounces of bullion on hand, valued at A$39.4 million (US$28.2 million). This equated to a decrease of US$16.2 million in cash and bullion or A$31.0 million in AUD terms.

Perseus maintained the total amount drawn under our revolving corporate cash advance facility, at US$150 million to provide maximum operational flexibility while managing the COVID-19 crisis.

As a result of the above, Perseus’s net debt position at the end of the quarter was US$2.6 million (Refer to Figure 1 below) which was US$16.2 million less than the balance at the end of the June 2020 quarter, largely as a result of increased capital expenditure on the Yaouré project development during the period, totalling US$35.6 million.

Figure 1: Quarterly balance of cash and bullion, interest-bearing liabilities and net cash and bullion

==> picture [477 x 279] intentionally omitted <==

The overall movement in cash and bullion during the quarter as shown below in Figure 2 takes account of the positive operating margins from both the Edikan (A$20.6 million) and Sissingué (A$39.7 million) operations, working capital outflow (A$8.9 million), Australian and West African corporate costs (A$3.4 million), organic growth (A$6.6 million), debt service (A$5.5 million), Yaouré development (A$49.8 million), foreign exchange loss on cash and bullion (A$6.7 million), Ghana income tax instalment (A$12.2 million), net cash inflow on acquisition of Exore Resources Limited (A$2.0).

Gold Price Hedging

At the end of the quarter, gold forward sales contracts were in place for 215,277 ounces of gold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,434 per ounce. These hedges are designated for delivery progressively over the period up to 30 June 2022. Perseus also held spot deferred sales contracts for a further 95,300 ounces of gold at an average sales price of US$1,586 per ounce. Combining both sets of sales contracts, Perseus’s total hedged position at the end of the quarter was 310,577 ounces at a weighted average sales price of US$1,481 per ounce.

Hedging contracts provide downside price protection to approximately 20% of Perseus’s currently forecast gold production for the next three years, while 80% of forecast production is potentially exposed to movements in the gold price.

OPERATIONS

Notwithstanding challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and a very intense wet season in Côte d’Ivoire, Perseus’s two operating gold mines, namely Edikan in Ghana and Sissingué in Côte d’Ivoire, once again performed strongly in the September 2020 quarter, producing a combined total of 68,772 ounces of gold compared to 64,676 ounces in the prior quarter. Gold sales totalled 60,441 ounces, 17,586 ounces or 23% less than last quarter (during which sales were abnormally high due to a deferral of sales in the prior quarter) and a weighted average sales price of US$1,595 per ounce was achieved, US$51 per ounce more than in the June 2020 quarter.

The Group’s combined AISC for the quarter of US$964 per ounce of gold produced was 3% above the AISC for the previous quarter, reflecting the impact of the improved period-on-period gold production, offset by higher royalties resulting from higher gold prices as well additional costs associated with measures to ensure business continuity during the COVID-19 crisis.

Perseus’s average cash margin for the quarter was US$631 per ounce, approximately US$22 per ounce more than during the June 2020 quarter, resulting in notional cashflow from operations of US$43.1 million, 8% or approximately US$3.1 million more than in the prior period, largely due to the increased selling price of gold as well as higher gold production.

Sissingué Gold Mine, Côte d’Ivoire

Notwithstanding the intense wet season in northern Côte d’Ivoire during which 937 mm of rain fell at Sissingué during the September 2020 quarter, the mine produced 29,087 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$493 per ounce and an AISC of US$587 per ounce. The weighted average sales price of gold was US$1,562 per ounce giving rise to a cash margin of US$975 per ounce. Notional cashflow generated from operations for the quarter amounted to US$28.4 million. Table 2 below summarises the key technical and financial parameters achieved at Sissingué during the September 2020 quarter, as well as in prior periods.

Gold production for the quarter was 24% more than in the June 2020 quarter. Run time was 96%, up from 94% in the prior quarter and the gold recovery rate was 93%, down from 96% in the prior quarter reflecting a planned increase in the proportion of fresh ore milled. As mining pushed deeper into the Sissingué pit, the weighted average head grade of ore processed improved significantly from 2.42g/t last quarter to 2.62 g/t this quarter. The mill throughput rate of 176 tph was up from 153 tph achieved in the prior period, reflecting a 1:1 mill feed blend ratio of fresh ore to oxide ore and a higher mill power draw. This improved throughput rate resulted in the quantity of ore processed being 370,397 tonnes, or 18% above the tonnage processed in the prior quarter.

Unit production costs for the quarter at US$493 per ounce were 21% lower than in the prior period largely due to the higher gold production, offset by some higher input costs. Unit mining costs at US$5.99 per tonne moved were 28% higher than in the previous period due largely to a 32% reduction in the tonnes of material mined as very heavy rainfall interrupted mining activities during the quarter.

Processing costs at US$15.25 per tonne were 11% lower than the prior period reflecting an 18% increase in tonnes of ore processed during the quarter. G&A costs (US$1.08 million per month) were also marginally higher than in the prior quarter due to costs associated with COVID-19, including additional transport costs, meals, accommodation, and incentive payments.

AISCs at US$587 per ounce were 20% lower than the AISC of US$734 per ounce recorded in the prior period. As noted, production costs were 21% lower than the prior period and sustaining capital was lower (US$6 per ounce compared to US$33 per ounce), but royalties were higher at US$88 per ounce compared to US$75 per ounce in the prior quarter, reflecting a higher gold price received and the timing of sales.

Mineral Resource model to mill reconciliations

The reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained ounces relative to the Mineral Resource block model on which mine plans are based (Refer to Table 3 below) has improved during the last 3 months with 7% more tonnes at 7% higher grade being produced compared to the Mineral Resource model. This reverses the trend seen over the last 2 quarters. On a life of mine to date basis, Sissingué has produced 6% more tonnes of ore at a grade that is 96% of that predicted in the Mineral Resource model, for slightly more contained ounces of gold than predicted.

Licencing of Fimbiasso

During the quarter, discussions continued with the Ivorian Ministry of Mines and Geology on the granting of the Exploitation Permit required to mine the Fimbiasso Ore Reserves that are located within trucking distance of the Sissingué mill but outside of the Sissingué Exploitation Permit area. The matter was considered by the Council of Ministers (CIM) and we understand that in October 2020, the CIM resolved to recommend granting of the Exploitation Permit for the Fimbiasso deposit.

Under Sissingué’s current Life of Mine Plan, Fimbiasso ore is scheduled to be mined and hauled to the Sissingué mill for processing towards the end of the mine life. In anticipation of the granting of the Exploitation Permit for Fimbiasso, work on the upgrade of the public road between Sissingué and Fimbiasso started during the quarter.

Completion of the acquisition of Exore Resources Limited

During the quarter, the scheme of arrangement designed to combine Perseus and Exore Resources Limited was successfully completed resulting in Perseus gaining ownership of approximately 2,000 square kilometres of geologically prospective land in northern Côte d’Ivoire, close to our operating Sissingué Gold Mine.

Sissingué currently has a mine life of three years from 1 July 2020. With the acquisition of this land package, including the defined Mineral Resources at the Bagoé Project, Perseus will be able to either develop the Bagoé Project into a new gold mine potentially relocating the Sissingué plant, or alternatively, delineate further Mineral Resources at Bagoé that can be economically mined and trucked to the Sissingué facility for processing.

During the quarter, plans were developed to undertake additional resource definition drilling and metallurgical testing of the Bagoé Project as a precursor to preparing a feasibility study for potentially mining and processing the deposit. A scoping study which is a prerequisite for preparing an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment was completed and submitted to the relevant authority, ANDE, for approval. ANDE completed a site visit at the end of the quarter after which work on the ESIA was started. Drilling is expected to start in midOctober, with completion by the end of December 2020. The Feasibility Study is expected to be completed by the end of the March 2021 quarter.

Edikan Gold Mine, Ghana

Performance at Edikan during the September 2020 quarter was in line with the prior quarter and reasonably in line with expectations.

During the September 2020 quarter, Perseus produced 39,685 ounces of gold at Edikan at a production cost of US$1,065 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,240 per ounce. Gold sales totalled 40,143 ounces at a weighted average gold sales price of US$1,611 per ounce, giving rise to a cash margin of US$371 per ounce. Notional cashflow generated from Edikan during the quarter was US$14.7 million. Table 4 below summarises the key technical and financial results achieved at Edikan during the September 2020 quarter, as well as in prior periods.

At 90%, mill run time was the same as in the June 2020 quarter. At 0.96g/t, the weighted average head grade of ore treated during the quarter was lower than the prior quarter’s head grade of 1.06 g/t, but well above budgeted head grade for the period. The gold recovery rate, at 73.9% for the quarter, was marginally below the previous quarter’s recovery rate of 75.9% reflecting the blend of material types and head grade of ore in the mill feed. The throughput rate achieved this quarter of 872 tph compared favourably to 819 tph in the prior period, reflecting the replacement in the mill feed of hard ore from the Fetish Pit with slightly softer ore from the ROM stockpile and the Esuajah North low grade stockpile and continued optimisation of blast fragmentation as part of a broader mine to mill improvement initiative.

20 October 2020

Page 6

==> picture [119 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Production costs for the quarter at US$1,065 per ounce were 18% higher than the prior period predominantly reflecting 16% more tonnes of material mined and 8% more tonnes of ore milled at a lower grade and slightly lower recovery compared to the prior period. Unit mining costs at US$3.09 per tonne were in line with the US$3.08 per tonne mined in the prior period. Mining costs reflected higher drill and blast and haulage costs due to more tonnes mined, offset slightly by savings on fuel prices. Processing costs at $8.97 per tonne were higher than the prior period’s US$8.43 per tonne largely due to discounted power costs that applied in the June quarter in response to the COVID-19 crisis in the prior quarter being discontinued. G&A costs at US$1.56 per month were slightly lower than US$1.63 per month in the June quarter. September quarter G&A costs included costs associated with measures taken to combat COVID-19, including additional transport costs, meals, accommodation and incentive payments although these were slightly lower than in the prior period.

The quarterly AISC at US$1,240 per ounce was US$191 per ounce more than in the prior period due to 7% higher royalty charges resulting from higher realised gold price (US$1,611 per ounce compared to US$1,528 per ounce), but more importantly due to a 64% increase in sustaining capital – the result of one off decisions to purchase a new crane to avoid a continuation of the very high crane rental costs that are incurred during regular maintenance shutdowns and the purchase of a spare girth gear as a mitigant against the possibility of catastrophic failure of the mill girth gear resulting in a significant interruption to the milling operation.

Mineral Resource model to mill reconciliations

A review of the reconciliation of processed tonnes and grade of ore relative to the Mineral Resource block model on which mine plans are based, showed that reconciliations in the last three months have been strongly positive in terms of contained metal. The overall position for the last twelve months is similarly positive as shown below in Table 5 .

Esuajah South (ESS) Underground Development Project

The planned implementation of the Esuajah South Underground Project progressed on several fronts during the quarter.

Relocation of residents from the project area that began in June 2020 was largely completed during the quarter and relocation of all remaining residents is expected to be completed in the December 2020 quarter. Offers were received from four mining contractors in response to a request for tenders for mining services for both the exploration and production phases of the project. These offers are being carefully analysed taking current labour hire requirements in Ghana into account and a decision on a preferred mining contractor will be made as soon as possible. Based on results from further geotechnical drilling during the quarter, the location of the box cut, portal and decline was changed to reflect the revised understanding of the weathering profile. This required additional analysis of tenders that were received from prospective contractors earlier in the quarter. Infill Mineral Resource drilling also commenced and was completed by mid-October 2020. When received, drill results from this programme will be added to the existing drill database and a revised estimate of Mineral Resources will be prepared. Final mining and capital costs will then be used to update the Esuajah South Ore Reserve. A decision on the final way forward for the project will be taken when all relevant information is to hand.

Yaouré Gold Mine, Côte d’Ivoire

OPERATIONS READINESS

Considerable progress has been made during the quarter in preparation for a seamless transition from development activities at Yaouré to full scale operations late in the December 2020 quarter. Key operational readiness activities included:

Recruitment

By the end of the quarter, recruitment of both the expatriate and the local workforce (a majority of whom have been recruited from local communities) was running to plan. On-boarding of most of the mining team was completed during the quarter, allowing pre-operational mining work to start at Yaouré.

Training

Documentation in the English language of training procedures is well advanced and translation of documents into French and local languages is underway ready for the start of operations. Where practical, existing procedures and systems used elsewhere in the Perseus group are being adapted for use at Yaouré, thereby ensuring a degree of conformance and transferability across all of Perseus’s operations. Plant supervisors commenced training for work at Yaouré by spending time at the Sissingué plant, while operator training is expected to start on site at Yaouré in mid-October 2020.

20 October 2020

Permits / Consumable & Spare parts

Work has continued to ensure that all operating permits are in place at the time of start-up of operations. Orders for all critical and routine spares for the plant are on schedule, although some minor delays have been indicated for some minor items. At this stage we do not see these minor delays impacting the start-up of operations. Development of maintenance planning systems is well advanced in readiness for implementation when the Yaouré plant is commissioned. Preventative maintenance work orders are being put in place to enable preventive maintenance work to begin from day one of operations.

Support Contracts

Most of the support contracts required during operations are either in place, well advanced and/or signed off ready for operations. The last major contracts remaining to be finalised include contracts for the supply of explosives and the loading of blast holes within the pit. A contract has been awarded for assay laboratory services however, to mitigate any possible delay in the construction of the assay lab and the supply of the laboratory equipment, a short-term contingency plan involving the use of an existing laboratory in Yamoussoukro until such time the site laboratory is fully operational will be developed.

PRE-OPERATIONS MINE PRODUCTION

Mining contractor, EPSA, continued establishment activities on-site at Yaouré during the quarter and approximately 60% of EPSA’s fleet was on site by quarter end with the remainder customs cleared in the port of Abidjan. Waste dump topsoil clearing and haul road construction commenced during the quarter allowing EPSA to commence backfill waste removal from the CMA pit in September 2020.

Other activities started by EPSA during the quarter included grubbing and clearing, topsoil removal, pre-strip and cartage of material from the decommissioned heap leach pads to the ROM in preparation for mill commissioning activities. This initial work by EPSA has enabled them to undertake training of their operators prior to the start of full-scale mining operations that is scheduled in the December 2020 quarter. Meanwhile, grade control drilling programmes started in mid-August 2020 and are progressing on schedule. Grade control drilling was completed in the CMA Stage 1 and ROM SE pit and was in progress at the Y3 and Y2N pits at quarter-end. Grade control planning was in progress for the Angovia 2 pit. When assay results are received, grade control models will be completed for all the areas ahead of process plant commissioning.

DEVELOPMENT

Yaouré Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire

Once again, excellent progress has been made on all fronts at the Yaouré Gold Mine development project in Côte d’Ivoire during the quarter. Costs are currently tracking under budget and overall development of Yaouré was 85% complete and in line with schedule expectations at the end of the quarter. Works required to enable the first pour of gold at Yaouré by the stretch target date of late December 2020 are on schedule. When commissioned, Yaouré will become Perseus’s third gold mine.

Refer to Appendix A for a photographic record of on-site works at the end of the quarter or visit our website www.perseusmining.com for recent video footage of construction activities.

Occupational Health and Safety

During the quarter, nearly 1,205,010 hours were worked by the approximately 1,750 direct and indirect employees currently engaged on the Yaouré development project. Other notable safety statistics for both the quarter and the project to date are as follows:

Construction Schedule

Full scale construction of the processing facilities and associated infrastructure which began in October 2019 has continued generally in accordance with schedule during the quarter. These works included:

  • In the processing plant site area significant progress was made during the quarter with construction of the process plant and associated works 89% complete by quarter end. The decant and tailings line is nearing completion and the river water line is completed. The front end (crusher and CV001 including overhang conveyor) is nearing completion and the crusher switch room will be energised early next quarter. Both the SAG and Ball mills were installed, as were the ancillary equipment such as gear boxes and motors. Liners are currently being inserted following the end of the quarter. CIL tanks were completed with all top of tank steel installed. The gantry crane was also lifted into place towards the end of the quarter.

  • Process Plant Buildings & Infrastructure – Focus shifted during the quarter onto construction of both the high security and low security buildings. Lock up and handover stage was completed on the warehouse office, mine technical office and the high security administration building by quarter end. All other buildings were at various stages of completion and are expected to be handed over early in the December quarter.

  • Emergency Power Generation – The new generator arrived on site and was installed during the quarter along with a surplus generator number from Sissingué. Commissioning and synchronisation of the generators will be finalised early in the December quarter.

  • Permanent Power – The 90kV powerline section of the work package was completed during the quarter. The Yaouré substation was nearing completion at the end of the quarter. Following the end of the quarter, this work was completed and the Kossou substation was tied into the system paving the way for the permanent power system to be energised in preparation for full commissioning of the plant.

  • Major Earthworks (ROM Pad, Coarse Ore Stockpile (COS) Back Fill, Magazine, Magazine Administration & 11kV Power Line Access) – The ROM pad was completed to the design relative level during the period with only the laterite wear course and water run off grading to be completed. The COS was also completed as designed and ready to accept the first crushed ore. The magazine administration area bulk earthworks are complete, only drainage, compaction and final trim is required. Significant earthworks are required for the Magazine area. Clear and grub works were finished during the period. Significant earthworks were also completed for the 11kV power reticulation.

  • River Abstraction Water Supply – Significant earthworks and rock breaking required to achieve the correct in take level were completed during the period. The site was fenced and handed over to the contractor for pump and pipe installation.

  • Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) – The final laying of the HDPE liner for the TSF was completed following the end of the quarter. At the end of the quarter, the spillway was 4m below the final level of 282.5m and overall construction of the TSF was 92% complete at quarter end.

  • Camp accommodation was completed during the quarter and is now at capacity. Camp service buildings including the Senior Dry Mess, Junior Dry Mess, Gym, Laundry and Camp Maintenance workshop were also completed. All drainage and lighting were also installed. The Wet Mess decking and some verandas are currently outstanding.

Community Relations

Finalisation of land compensation is moving more slowly than anticipated. This process has some distance to run before it is resolved and it is expected that the Ivorian government will become involved in the matter as the final land compensation rate to be paid has national consequences for land acquisition in both the mining and agriculture industries as well as general land resumption for industrial purposes. In the meantime, access to the site has been provided to Perseus pending finalisation of the land compensation rates. Compensation for sacred sites was completed in the September 2020 quarter and compensation for crops is close to finalisation pending only the provision of identification and bank details by a small group of farmers.

Sissingué Exploitation Permit

Exploration at Sissingué during the quarter involved air core (“AC”) drilling at the Kakolo prospect and diamond drilling (“DD”) at the Tiana prospect ( Appendix B – Figure 1 ).

At the Kakolo prospect near Kanakono, 1,726 metres was drilled in 33 AC holes targeting extensive artisanal workings and gold-in-soil anomalism ( Appendix B – Figure 2 ). Assays from this recent drilling remain pending, but results were received from AC drilling completed at Kakolo in the previous quarter, with better intercepts tabulated below:

Full details of the Kakolo drilling, including all assays received to date, are provided in Appendix B - Table 1 . At the Tiana prospect, located 3 kilometres southwest of the previously drilled Cashew Farm prospect, 119 metres was drilled in diamond drillhole TNDD0001. TNDD0001 is designed to twin a spectacular two metre intersection of 3,297 grams per tonne gold in TNRC0028 reported in the previous quarter. Drilling is ongoing, with results expected in the next quarter.

Mahalé Exploration Permit

Results were received from 24 RC holes drilled at Fimbiasso West in the previous quarter. Although mineralisation was intersected at the predicted depths in almost every hole, grades were in general low. Better results from this drilling are tabulated below:

A subsequent evaluation concluded that the additional drilling will not extend the Fimbiasso West pits at current gold prices. Complete results from this program are reported in Appendix B - Table 2 .

Yaouré Exploration Permits

Exploration activities on the Yaouré permits during the quarter included AC, RC and diamond drilling at Sayikro, Allekran and the CMA-VC Basin contact ( Appendix B – Figure 3 ) . In addition, processing and interpretation of data from the 2D and 3D seismic surveys over the CMA deposit and environs commenced.

Drilling at Sayikro was undertaken to follow up strong gold-in-auger anomalies generated by work during 2018 that subsequently attracted intense artisanal mining activity ( Appendix B – Figures 4 & 5 ) . During the Quarter 3,241 metres were drilled in 25 RC holes and 391 metres in one diamond hole. The drilling encountered sporadic high-grade vein-associated mineralisation in basalts that are flanked to the east by a granite intrusive, which is itself mineralised. Better intercepts are tabulated below:

The current interpretation is that the basalt-hosted mineralisation (the target of intense artisanal activity) lies within the confluence of several Y structures, whilst the granite-hosted mineralisation lies on the extension of the CMA-South structure, with possible focussing along the granite-basalt contact. Current resource drilling of the adjacent CMA-South structure may help elucidate the structural setting at Sayikro.

AC drilling commenced at Allekran with 9,842 metres drilled in 198 holes ( Appendix B – Figure 6 ) . The drilling follows up high-tenor auger anomalies straddling the contact zone between a major intrusive body and mafic volcanics, with associated alluvial and eluvial artisanal workings. The AC drilling returned encouraging results, as tabulated below:

Table 12: Allekran Aircore Drilling Significant Intersections

BHID From(m) To(m) Gold Intercept
YAC1677 20 24 4m @ 1.92 g/t

YAC1737 8 16 8m @ 1.20 g/t
YAC1758 4 8 4m @ 2.00 g/t
YAC1771 2 4 2m @ 1.69 g/t
YAC1781 8 16 8m @ 1.56 g/t

Despite the sporadic and nuggety distribution of the intercepts, preliminary interpretation suggests sub-parallel N-S trending mineralized structures developed in mostly mafic volcanics, with the adjacent intrusive potentially providing an additional focus for mineralisation.

In addition to the above, drilling of the CMA-Volcaniclastic Basin (VCB) contact NW of the Yaouré plant site continued, with 1,196 metres drilled in four DD holes. The contact between the volcano-sediments and the basalts displays a deformed and silicified zone encountered in all holes, with subsidiary splays developed within the VCB itself. Better intercepts from these holes are tabulated below:

20 October 2020

YDD0560 264.60 266.75 2.15m @ 1.8g/t
284 292 8m @ 1.69g/t

In YDD0560, gold was intersected both at the VCB contact and within basalts in the interpreted northern extension of the Y2 structure. The intercept at the VCB contact below 284 metres occurred in an 8m-thick CMAstyle sheared zone with silica, carbonate and sulphide alteration.

Although the concept of CMA- and Y-structures continuing to the northwest of the main mineralised centre has been demonstrated this is not regarded as a high-priority target for further drilling.

Complete results for the Yaouré drilling discussed above are presented in Appendix B – Table 3.

Processing and interpretation of data from the Yaouré 2D & 3D seismic program advanced significantly during the quarter, with numerous previously unknown geological features emerging from the data with potentially significant implications for gold mineralisation. Notable amongst these are the clear continuation of the CMA thrust at depth; the presence of numerous other CMA- or Y-like features, particularly in the hanging wall (east) of the CMA thrust; the presence of potential (west-dipping) back-thrusts, and; the presence of a major and previously unknown intrusive body at depth – a possible thermal and fluid driver for the Yaouré system ( Appendix B – Figure 7 ).

Bagoé Exploration Permit

Preparations are well underway for the commencement of an 11,720-metre resource drilling program at the Antoinette, Veronique and Juliette prospects on the recently acquired Bagoé permit ( Appendix B – Figure 1 .) The drilling, which will include geotechnical and metallurgical holes, will infill the current drill coverage to a nominal 25 metre by 25 metre spacing as a basis for upgrading the current resources from Inferred to Measured & Indicated. Planning has also commenced for follow-on exploration drilling at Antoinette-Juliette Gap, Brigette, Odette, Antoinette South and Veronique extensions as well as other identified targets on the Bagoé permit.

Minignan Exploration Permit

Gold and multielement assays were received for 1,120 soil and lag samples collected on a reconnaissance 800 metre x 400 metre grid covering the Company’s Minignan permit in the northwest of Côte d’Ivoire. Results define a coherent but low tenor, NNE-trending gold anomaly over a 6.5km x 1.5km area that appears coincident with the regional Banifing Shear Zone. An auger program is planned to further investigate this target.

Ghana Exploration

Exploration activities at Edikan during the quarter focused on drilling at the Mampong South target on the Nanankaw ML ( Appendix B – Figure 8 ) and the Dadieso NE prospect on the Dadieso PL.

At Mampong South, a total of 1.977 metres was drilled in seven holes, comprising 953 metres of RC plus 1,024 metres of diamond tails. The drilling targeted the southern extensions of the granite dyke system that hosts the AG-Gap and Fobinso deposits as well as the Mampong deposit, the latter lying ~1.5km to the NE. Felsic dykes were intersected in most holes, ranging from a few metres thick up to approximately 75 metres thick. Several holes contained appreciable pyrite ± arsenopyrite mineralisation accompanied by quartz veining, returning the significant intersections tabulated below and shown in Appendix B – Figures 9 & 10 :

Four RC holes were drilled for 600 metres at the Dadieso NE prospect, approximately 1km north of Dadieso village and 1.5km north of the historical Dadieso resource area. Dadieso NE was identified as a high-priority target based on an interpreted sinistral jog in the Bokitsi-Dadieso-Japa shear zone with associated intensive artisanal mining. DKRC107, targeting the main artisanal mining zone, returned the only significant results as tabled below:

Table 15: Dadieso NE Significant Intersections

134 138 4m @ 1.70g/t
166 180 14m @ 1.24g/t

Unlike mineralisation encountered at Bokitsi and Dadieso, the mineralisation intersected was hosted by intensely quartz-veined sediments without significant sulphides or carbonaceous material.

Complete results for the Huntado-Mampong and Dadieso NE drilling programs discussed above, including unreported drilling from the previous quarter, are presented in Appendix B – Table 4.

Agyakusu Option

Negotiations continued with the local community and farmers to commence first-pass RC drilling over the Breman granite prospect on the Agyakusu permit. An initial 3,000 metres of drilling on a 40 x 80 metre drill pattern is planned, including 500 metres of diamond drilling.

Agyakusu-DML Option

Work commenced on the Agyakusu-DML (Dompoase) property with the collection of 1,130 soil samples along the main structural corridor extending SW from the Breman prospect on the adjoining Agyakusu permit. Historical soil sampling and limited drilling identified a trend of mineralised granite dykes, and the current sampling program is designed to better define the extent and tenor of gold-in-soil anomalism along this trend as a prelude to drilling. Assays were pending at quarter end.

APPENDIX B – JORC TABLE 1 – Côte d’Ivoire

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes were routinely sampled at
1m intervals down the hole. RC samples were collected at
the drill rig by riffle splitting drill spoils to collect a nominal 1-
2 kg sub sample and composited into 2m samples for assay.
• Air Core (AC) drill holes were routinely sampled at 1m
intervals down the hole. AC samples were collected at the
drill rig by riffle splitting drill spoils to collect a nominal 2-3 kg
sub.
• Half-core from Diamond core drilling (DD) were taken
systematically from the ‘right’ hand side; 1.5 m in oxide and
transition, 1 m in fresh
• Routine standard reference material, sample blanks, and
sample duplicates were routinely inserted/collected in the
sample sequence.
• RC, AC and DD samples were submitted to Bureau Veritas
Côte d’Ivoire for preparation and analysis by 50g Fire Assay.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).
• All RC holes were completed by reverse circulation (RC)
drilling techniques with a hole diameter of 5.5 inch and a face
sampling down hole hammer. Air Core drilling was completed
with a 3.5 inch hammer.
• Diamond drilling used HQ diameter in weathered, and NQ in
fresh rock. All drill core was oriented using a Reflex EX Trac
tool.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• Riffle split samples were weighed to monitor sample
recovery
• Diamond core recovery was measured. Recoveries in fresh
rock average 98%
• No apparent relation has been observed between sample
recovery and grade
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• All drill samples were geologically logged by Company
Geologists.
• Geological logging recorded rock types, the abundance of
quartz and sulphides and degree of weathering using a
standardized logging system.
• Small samples of coarse and sieved RC drill material were
affixed to “chip boards” to aid geological logging and for
future reference. Sieved and washed AC materials were kept
in chip boxes for future reference

Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling
stages to maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected, including
for instance results for field duplicate/second-half
sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of
the material being sampled.
• All RC and AC samples were riffle split at the drill rig.
• Samples were obtained dry.
• Routine field sample duplicates were taken to evaluate
representivity of samples with the results stored in the
master drill database for reference.
• At the Bureau Veritas laboratory, samples were weighed,
dried and crushed to -2mm in a jaw crusher. A 1.5kg split of
the crushed sample was subsequently pulverised in a ring
mill to achieve a nominal particle size of 85% passing 75um.
• Sample sizes and laboratory preparation techniques are
considered to be appropriate for this stage of gold
exploration.
Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying
and laboratory procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF
instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and model, reading
times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g.
standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of
bias) and precision have been established.
• Analysis for gold was undertaken at Bureau Veritas Côte
d’Ivoire lab by 50g Fire Assay with AAS finish to a lower
detection limit of 0.01ppm. Fire assay is considered a total
assay technique.
• No geophysical tools or other non-assay instruments were
used in the analyses reported.
• QAQC samples nominally
─ Blanks at 1 in 50
─ Certified standards at 1 in 25
─ Field duplicates of RC samples at 1 in 50
• Review of standard reference material, sample blanks and
duplicates suggest there are no significant analytical bias or
preparation errors in the reported analyses.
• Internal laboratory QAQC checks are reported by the
laboratory and routine review of the laboratory QAQC
suggests the laboratory is performing within acceptable
limits.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures,
data verification, data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• Drill hole data is captured by Company geologists at the drill
rig and manually entered into a digital database.
• The digital data is verified and validated by the Company’s
database Manager before loading into a master drill hole
database on a regularly backed-up server.
• Reported drill hole intercepts are compiled by the Company’s
Group Exploration Manager.
• Twin holes were not drilled to verify results.
• There were no adjustments to assay data.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• Drill hole collars were set out in UTM grid_Zone30N for
Yaouré.
• Drill hole collars were positioned using handheld GPS,
accurate to +/- 2-3m in the horizontal.
• Drill holes were routinely surveyed for down hole deviation
using the Flexit tool. DD holes were surveyed at 12m and
then every 30m. RC holes were surveyed at 9m and at end of
the hole. AC holes were not surveyed downhole.
• Locational accuracy at collar and down the drill hole is
considered appropriate for this early stage of exploration.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to
establish the degree of geological and grade continuity
appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve
estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
• All reported RC and DD holes were drilled on 40m to 80m
spaced SW-NE orientated drill sections with hole spacing on
sections at 40m. Reported AC holes were drilled heel-to-toe
on nominal 160m-spaced fences.
• The reported drilling has not been used to estimate any
mineral resources or reserves.
• Prior to assaying, 1m RC sub-samples have been composited
by weight to form 2m composites samples. AC samples were
assayed for each meter.

Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased
sampling of possible structures and the extent to which
this is known, considering the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and
the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered
to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
• Exploration is at an early stage and the true orientation of
mineralisation has not yet been confirmed.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Samples were stored in a fenced compound within the
Company’s accommodation camp in Tengréla or at secured
Yaouré site offices prior to sample collection and road
transport to the laboratory of Bureau Veritas in Abidjan or
MSA Lab in Yamoussoukro.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
• The Company’s sampling techniques employed in Ivory Coast
were last reviewed in a site visit to the Tengréla Gold Project
by Snowden mining consultants in December 2016.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation
drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg
was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’).
In other cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information. (e.g.
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed
information.
• Drill holes have been drilled as Reverse Circulation (RC) and
diamond core (DD)
• RC samples were taken at 1m intervals, of which a nominal
2-3kg sub-sample was obtain by riffle splitter. Two
consecutive samples were combined to obtain 2m
composites
• DD samples were cut in halves and one half submitted for
assaying, the other half stored in the core box for
reference. Sample intervals varied between 0.5m and 1.5m.
• Routine standard reference material, sample blanks, and
sample duplicates were routinely inserted/collected in the
sample sequence.
• Samples were submitted to Intertek Laboratories in
Tarkwa/Ghana for preparation and analysis by 50g Fire
Assay.

including for instance results for field duplicate/second-
half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size
of the material being sampled.
• All RC samples were riffle split at the drill rig
• Samples were obtained dry
• Routine field sample duplicates were taken to evaluate
representivity of samples with the results stored in the
master drill database for reference
• At Intertek Laboratories, samples were weighed, dried and
crushed to -2mm in a jaw crusher. A 1.5kg split of the
crushed sample was subsequently pulverised in a ring mill
to achieve a nominal particle size of 85% passing 75um.

Central Region of Ghana and is owned by Perseus Mining
(Ghana) Limited, a 90% owned subsidiary of Perseus Mining

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

Historical exploration and mining was conducted on the
property from the early 1990s up to 2001 by Cluff Mining
(Ghana) Ltd and Ashanti Goldfields Corp.

The past exploration was successful and resulted in multiple
discoveries leading to mining.

The mineralisation reported in this announcement has seen
limited previous drilling by Perseus, and the reported program
has focussed on areas either under-drilled or not previously
drilled.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting, and style of
mineralisation.

The Ayanfuri Mining Lease is situated within the
Paleoproterozoic Birimian terrane of Southern Ghana, being
located in the Kumasi Basin sedimentary group approximately
5 to 8 kilometres west of the Ashanti Greenstone Belt.

The Huntado-Mampong prospect is an intrusive-hosted
Orogenic gold deposit. The host rocks are a series of granite-
granodiorite dykes and gold mineralisation is associated with
stockwork quartz veining plus up to 3% disseminated pyrite
and arsenopyrite.

The dimensions of the mineralised dykes are currently
unknown and the subject of ongoing exploration.

The Dadieso mineralisation is a shear-hosted system in
metasediments, with a dense quartz vein system but relatively
low sulphide contents. Unusually for this style of
mineralisation in the Edikan district there is a relatively low
carbonaceous component.

Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths
of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be
stated and some typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

The drill intercepts presented have been consistently
calculated as length-weighted average grades.

Short, high-grade intervals that significantly affect the
average grade of aggregate intercepts are included in the table
of intercepts.

A minimum cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au is applied to the
reported intervals.

Maximum internal dilution is 2m within a reported interval.

No grade top cut-off has been applied.

No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied
Relationship
between
mineralisatio
n widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to
the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be
reported.

If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(e.g. ‘downhole length, true width not known’).

As currently understood, the mineralised dykes dip
subvertically and strike NE. Drilling was inclined at -60 deg to
the SE or NW. True thicknesses of drill intercepts are therefore
approximately 70 to 80% of the down-hole length.

Results are reported as down hole length.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should include,
but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.

A drill hole location plan is included in the report.

All significant results are tabulated in the body of the
report, with complete drill hole details and results compiled in
Appendix A, Table 4.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both
low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.

All drill holes drilled in this program are plotted on Figure 8

characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.

There are no other exploration data that are considered
material to the results reported in this announcement.

Intercepts are presented in conjunction with comments
that describe the context of the intercepts.

The Competent Person is satisfied that the results
presented are representative of drilling results to date.

The work reported herein comprises initial exploration
drilling of mineralised dykes, with follow-up drilling planned to
investigate strike and depth extensions.

Drilling results may form the basis for future estimation of
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (if warranted).
