FINANCIAL POSITION

(Unaudited) Cashflow and Balance Sheet

==> picture [129 x 52] intentionally omitted <==

Based on the spot gold price of US$1,515 per ounce and an A$:US$ exchange rate of 0.7014 at 31 December 2019, the total value of cash and bullion on hand at the end of the quarter was A$114.9 million, (US$80.6 million) including cash of A$67.5 million (US$47.3 million) and 21,952 ounces of bullion on hand, valued at A$47.4 million (US$33.3 million). This equated to a decrease in cash and bullion of A$63.6 million or US$40.0 million.

During the quarter, A$45.8 million (US$31.3 million) of notional cashflow was generated by Perseus’s two operating mines.

The overall movement in cash and bullion during the quarter as shown below in Figure 1 takes account of the positive operating margins from both the Edikan (A$26.7 million) and Sissingué (A$19.1 million) operations, Australian and West African corporate costs (A$3.4 million), exploration (A$3.1 million), draw down net of debt service (A$10.2 million), Yaouré development (A$105.9 million) and Ghana income tax instalment (A$5.9 million).

During the quarter, a further US$10 million was drawn from our US$150 million revolving corporate cash advance facility, bringing the total drawn under the facility to US$50 million.

At 31 December 2019, Perseus’s working capital totalled A$119.5 million, a decrease of A$28.7 million relative to the 30 September 2019 balance (A$148.2 million). This is in line with expected payment outflows for the construction of Yaouré.

Perseus is in a net positive cash and bullion position of US$30.6 million, a decrease of US$50.0 million from the previous quarter (Refer to Figure 2 below) after taking cash payments of US$72.4 million on the development of Yaouré into account.

Gold Price Hedging

At the end of the quarter, gold forward sales contracts were in place for 216,267 ounces of gold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,309 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 59,779 ounces of gold at an average sales price of US$1,489 per ounce. Combining both sets of sales contracts, Perseus’s total hedged position at the end of the quarter was 276,046 ounces at a weighted average sales price of US$1,348 per ounce.

Hedging contracts provide downside price protection to approximately 23% of Perseus’s currently forecast gold production for the next three years, while 77% of forecast production is potentially exposed to movements in the gold price.

OPERATIONS

Perseus’s two producing gold mines, the Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana and the Sissingué Gold Mine in Côte d’Ivoire continued their recent strong performance during the December 2019 quarter, enabling the company to comfortably achieve previously published market production and cost guidance for the December 2019 Half Year.

In the December 2019 quarter, Perseus produced 69,155 ounces of gold compared to 65,825 ounces in the prior quarter, an increase of 5.1%. On a half yearly basis, gold production totalled 134,980 ounces to December 31, 2019, an increase of 2.8% compared to gold production in the June 2019 Half Year.

The Perseus Group’s combined AISC for the quarter of US$962 per ounce, was 4.3% above the previous quarter, reflecting a 5.1% period-on-period increase in gold production offset by higher royalties due to higher realised gold prices as well as a number of end-of-year back payments and government charges being brought to account.

Looking forward to the full financial year ending 30 June 2020, Perseus is forecasting a stronger, grade-driven performance in terms of both production and AISCs in the June 2020 Half Year relative to the December 2019 Half Year. Market guidance for both the Half Year and full twelve-month Financial Year period remains unchanged at:

Edikan Gold Mine, Ghana

During the December 2019 quarter, 48,250 ounces of gold were produced at Edikan at a production cost of US$908 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,035 per ounce.

Table 2 below summarises the key technical and financial results achieved during the quarter, the December 2019 Half Year and 2019 Calendar Year.

The quarterly gold production of 48,250 ounces was 9% higher than in the September 2019 quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, run time (90% compared to 91%) and gold recovery rates (85% compared to 86%) were consistent with the shutdown schedule and feed characteristics respectively. An increase in throughput rate (909tph compared to 882tph) was largely due to an improvement in blast fragmentation building on the improvement in the previous quarter that was driven by the introduction of MillSlicer and MillRoc technologies. At 0.98g/t, the weighted average head grade of ore processed during the quarter was nearly 8% higher than the prior quarter, reflecting access to higher grade ore from the Bokitsi pit during the quarter.

Production costs at US$908 per ounce were 2% lower than during the prior period reflecting the benefit of the increased gold production during the quarter, which was offset to some extent by slightly higher unit mining (US$3.27 per tonne mined), processing costs (US$9.38 per tonne processed) and G&A costs (US$1.92 per month). During the quarter, back payment to the government of fees for mineral rights, back payment of salary increases to employees arising from 2019 wage negotiations, higher expenditure on security and the timing of the mill reline all contributed to the slightly elevated unit costs.

16 January 2020

Page 4

==> picture [119 x 36] intentionally omitted <==

The quarterly AISC at US$1,035 per ounce was US$8 per ounce more than in the prior period largely due to higher royalty charges arising from higher gold selling prices (US$1,413 per ounces compared to US$1,369 per ounce) as well as an increase in sustaining capital the result of commencing the next wall lift of the flotation tailings storage facility.

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 the good level of reconciliation achieved since the revised mining strategy was implemented at 1 January 2019 has continued, as indicated below:

Mine Planning

During the quarter, our Technical Services team has worked on upgrading the Resources and Reserves estimates for Edikan.

This work involved preparing pit optimisation studies of the various Edikan open pits. The latest sustainable improvements in throughput rates were used in the assessments, together with unit costs that have also reduced recently due to both throughput rate improvements and the revised mining strategy. A gold price of US$1,300 per ounce was applied which was slightly higher than the US$1,200 per ounce price used in previous studies. In addition, a detailed re-evaluation of the feasibility study on the Esuajah South orebody was undertaken to evaluate both open pit and underground mining options. Esuajah South currently contributes 312,000 ounces to the Ore Reserve estimate for Edikan based on the use of underground mining methods, but mining of this ore body has not been incorporated into the life of mine plan to date due to the historic view on risk weighted returns. Open pit mining options have been considered in the past but have not been adopted due to the challenges in mining an open pit close to the Ayanfuri village.

The results of this work are due to be reviewed by the Board in the March 2020 quarter and if approved for adoption, will result in the publication of an updated Ore Reserve estimate and an updated Life of Mine Plan for the Edikan operation.

Sissingué Gold Mine, Côte d’Ivoire

During the December 2019 quarter, 20,905 ounces of gold were produced at Sissingué at a production cost of US$694 per ounce and an AISC of US$793 per ounce.

Table 4 below summarises the key technical and financial parameters achieved at Sissingué during the December 2019 quarter, the December 2019 Half Year and 2019 Calendar Year.

Gold production during the quarter was 4% less than in the September 2019 quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, run time (at 95% down from 96%), throughput rates (at 210tph down from 214tph), gold recovery rate (at 95% up from 94%), and weighted average head grade (at 1.55g/t down from 1.60g/t) were all reasonably consistent quarter-on-quarter and well within normal operating fluctuations.

Production costs for the quarter at US$694 per ounce were 10% higher than during the prior period reflecting the impact of a 4% decrease in gold production as well as higher unit costs. Mining unit costs were slightly higher due to lower material movements (US$3.95 per tonne mined), higher processing costs (US$11.45 per tonne) were higher due to back payment of customs charges relating to the initial importation of mine equipment and spares, costs associated with the timing of freight arrivals, the timing of the mill reline, and elevated G&A costs (US$1.08 per month) were also due to customs payments, increased insurance payments and camp costs. All these factors contributed to the slightly elevated unit costs and therefore production costs during the period.

AISCs were approximately 12% higher than in the prior period due to higher production costs as noted above, higher sustaining capital due to expenditure returning to more normal levels (US$40 per ounce) compared to the abnormally low level of expenditure (US$7 per ounce) in the prior period, and lower royalties compared to the prior quarter. Last quarter, an abnormally high amount of royalty was recorded due to the timing of royalty payments, but this quarter, on a per ounce basis, the royalties paid are in line with expectations.

Mineral Resource model to mill reconciliations

A review of the reconciliation of processed ore tonnes and grade relative to the Mineral Resource block model on which mine plans are based has indicated that Mineral Resource model to mill reconciliations have deteriorated slightly compared to the position at the end of the September 2019 quarter.

Life of mine to date, mining at Sissingué has produced 10% more tonnes at the grade predicted in the Mineral Resource model, for 10% more contained ounces of gold. The reduced reconciliation this quarter appears to be the result of mining ore from outside the main orebody. Mining in the June 2020 Half Year will be predominantly sourced from the main part of the orebody and this adverse reconciliation trend might be expected to reverse, based on history to date.

Mine Planning

During the quarter, our Technical Services team worked towards upgrading the Life of Mine Plan for Sissingué. This on-going work involved several studies including Mineral Resource estimation, and metallurgical and geotechnical investigations on the recently discovered mineralisation at Zanikan. Zanikan is located within the Sissingué Exploitation Permit area, approximately 22km from the Sissingué mill, and comfortably within trucking distance. An initial Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimate is expected in the March 2020 quarter when pit optimisation studies of the Sissingué open pit, applying current technical and commercial parameters and a slightly higher gold price (US$1,300 per ounce) than that used in previous studies (US$1,200 per ounce), will also be completed.

The results of this work are due to be reviewed by the Board in the March 2020 quarter and if approved for adoption, will result in the publication of updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserves estimates and an updated Life of Mine Plan for the Sissingué operation.

Licencing of Fimbiasso

During the quarter, discussions were held with the 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. Agreement was reached on a permitting strategy and community consultations have been undertaken as required by mining legislation in Côte d’Ivoire.

Under Sissingué’s current Life of Mine Plan, Fimbiasso ore will be mined and hauled to the Sissingué mill for processing towards the end of the mine life. The Zanikan studies will determine the optimal order of mining the Fimbiasso and Zanikan deposits. In anticipation of the granting of the Exploitation Permit for Fimbiasso in the foreseeable future, work is expected to start in the June 2020 quarter on the construction of a haul road from Sissingué to Zanikan and later connecting Zanikan to Fimbiasso.

DEVELOPMENT

Yaouré Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire

With a decision taken in May 2019 to develop Perseus’s third gold mine, the Yaouré Gold Mine in Côte d’Ivoire, onsite and offsite activities have continued to schedule and on budget during the quarter, with significant progress being made on both fronts. Refer to Appendix A for a photographic record of on-site works at the end of the quarter.

Offsite Works

By the end of the quarter, planned plant engineering was 99% complete and procurement work (including delivery to site) was on schedule at 63% complete. Ninety-eight of the planned 101 contract packages had been awarded and tenders were under consideration for a further contract package. Offsite fabrication of critical steel work including the SAG and Ball Mills is well advanced and on schedule for completion and delivery to site in the March 2020 quarter.

Eight tenders to provide contract mining services were received during the quarter from a mix of local and international mining contractors. In early December 2019, a mining services contract was awarded to EPSA Internacional SA (“EPSA”), a privately owned, global earthmoving and mining contractor that is headquartered in Spain and provides a range of mining, civil works and earthmoving services to a blue-chip list of mining clients located in 15 countries. The mining services contract will run for a period of 65 months commencing on 1 November 2020 and envisages the movement of approximately 170 million tonnes of material, including 27 million tonnes of ore containing more than 1.5 million ounces of gold. EPSA is expected to commence mobilising equipment to site in the March 2020 quarter, after which they will employ and train a predominantly Ivorian workforce in preparation for the formal commencement of the contract later in the year.

Onsite works

Full scale construction of the processing facilities and associated infrastructure began in October 2019 and since then, encouraging progress has been made on a range of fronts. These works included:

  • In the plant site area:

  • Primary Crusher vault walls reinforcement installation is 36% complete and ongoing

  • Reclaim chamber walls reinforcement installation is 22% complete and ongoing

  • Lime storage facility – concrete for 12 of 14 footings has been poured

  • Sag Mill free bearing Pedestal – 3[rd] lift concrete pour is complete

  • Ball Mill free bearing Pedestal – 1[st] lift concrete pour is complete and 2[nd] lift formwork is in place

  • Grinding – Mill access platform pedestals – footings and pedestals 60% complete

  • CIL tank floors - 5 of 7 floors laid in position

  • CIL – Floor Concrete slab & bund – 90% complete

  • Tailings Storage Facility (TSF) - The total sixty-five hectares of the TSF stage one site has been cleared and work is ongoing backfilling artisanal mine shafts located in the TSF area, with approximately 2,800 holes backfilled with approximately 100 further holes remaining to be done.

  • Power Supply – Construction of the main substation is progressing to plan with transformers ordered and due on site in the March quarter. Fabrication of the transmission line and towers was close to completion by the end of December 2019 and shipment to site is expected in the March quarter. Works associated with the power supply are on course to achieve the targeted date for the power supply to go live in September 2020.

16 January 2020

  • Perimeter Fence – Approximately seven kilometres of the seventeen kilometres of fencing required to fully enclose the Yaouré site has been completed to date. A final five kilometres of corridor required for the fence line will be cleared and stripped by the end of the quarter.

  • Permanent Camp & Buildings – Civil works associated with seven of the eight terraces for the permanent camp site were completed during the quarter and the terraces handed over for building construction. The eighth terrace is nearing completion. Construction of buildings and associated infrastructure is progressing well and camp construction is scheduled to be completed in the March quarter.

Land compensation is also progressing with the Inter-ministerial Committee (CIM) expected to make a recommendation on compensation rates in the last week of January 2020. Full access to the site has been provided to Perseus pending finalisation of the land compensation rates.

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 were generally on schedule.

Financial Status of the Yaouré Development Project

The Board’s decision to develop Yaouré was based on a fully funded development plan that involved using part of the newly established US$150 million revolving credit facility, up to US$119 million of cash and bullion on hand at the time of the decision and strong future cashflows from Perseus’s Edikan and Sissingué gold mines, to finance development.

Applying these funds, expenditure on the Yaouré development as at 31 December 2019 was as follows:

Execution of Mining Convention

Discussions between Perseus’s special purpose exploitation company, Perseus Mining Yaouré SA (“PMY”) and the Ivorian departments of Mining and Geology, Customs, Environment, Budget and Finance on the terms of a Mining Convention to confirm fiscal stability and other arrangements that will apply during the life of the Yaouré Gold Mine, were successfully concluded during the quarter and the Mining Convention was executed on 9 December 2019.

The Mining Convention sets out the general, legal, fiscal, customs, financial, economic, social, administrative and environmental conditions under which PMY will conduct mining operations at Yaouré. It provides stability of the fiscal and customs regime under which PMY will operate, including confirming benefits and arrangements contained in Ivorian Mining Code, such as VAT, customs and other tax concessions, and stabilises royalties payable at the rates in set in current mining regulations.

The terms of the Yaouré Mining Convention are similar to the terms contained in the Sissingué Mining Convention with some adjustments incorporated to suit the specific circumstances of the Yaouré Gold Mine. v

Sissingué Exploitation Permit

Exploration at Sissingué during the quarter included 5,504 metres of reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling and 795 metres of diamond drilling focussed on infill and extension drilling at the Cashew Farm prospect at Zanikan ( Appendix B – Figure 1 ). An additional 9,452 metres of air core (“AC”) drilling was completed in 185 holes investigating the strike extensions of the Cashew Farm mineralisation and similar zones at the nearby Blue Hole and Grande Fosse zones

At Zanikan, 63 RC and nine diamond holes were drilled to infill and extend mineralised structures identified in previous drilling at the Cashew Farm prospect ( Appendix B – Figure 2 ). Six of the diamond holes were also used to provide samples for metallurgical test work, and two to provide geotechnical data. Results continued to confirm the potential for economic mineralisation at Cashew Farm, with better intercepts including:

The results confirm mineralisation extends over 500 metres in strike, with the intersection in ZNAC0142 (8m @ 17.46 g/t) adding an additional 100 metres strike potential ( Appendix B – Figures 3 ). The structure remains open to the north with potential for mineralisation to redevelop beyond the current drill coverage.

Complete results received to date from the AC, RC and diamond drilling referred to above are summarised below and tabulated in full in Appendix B - Table 1 . Results remain pending for 1,671 AC samples from Blue Hole and Grande Fosse ( Appendix B – Figure 4 ).

Mahalé Exploration Permit

Four RC holes for 178 metres were drilled at Fimbiasso West on the Mahalé permit late in the Quarter. These were the first holes in a planned 3,482m, 66-hole program of infill drilling at Fimbiasso West. Results remain pending.

Yaouré Exploration Permits

Exploration activities on the Yaouré permits included the drilling of 2,796 metres in three diamond drill holes into the CMA structure and 4,016 metres of augering over the Sayikro SW grid. Preparations commenced for two major geophysical surveys – the 17.3 square kilometre 3D seismic survey over the CMA deposit and environs to be undertaken by HiSeis, and the 4,136 line-kilometre heliborne VTEM survey over the entire Yaouré property package to be flown by Geotech. Preparations for both surveys are well advanced, with data collection activities planned to commence in January.

The three diamond drill holes at CMA were drilled to gain information on the geometry at depth of the CMA thrust, primarily as a guide for the pending 3D seismic survey (including down-hole seismic measurements). The main CMA structure was intercepted at the target depths in the first two of the holes, YDD0539 and YDD0540, with strong quartz veining and alteration observed. Other zones of alteration and quartz veining observed in the footwall and hanging wall of the main structure may represent Y-structures as mapped in the Yaouré pit. Sulphide contents were however modest, and this was reflected in the relatively weak gold values returned – see Table 7 below. At Quarter end the third hole had not reached the target depth.

Results were also received from two holes drilled in the September 2019 quarter at CMA-NE, the best result being 5 metres grading 1.61 grams per tonne from 89 metres.

Complete results for the drilling discussed above are presented in Appendix B – Table 2.

Augering continued throughout the period on the southwestern extensions of the Sayikro grid. Results received to date suggest a tailing off of anomalism to the southwest away from Sayikro Hill.

Results were received for the remaining samples from the Degbezere augering completed last Quarter, confirming robust gold anomalism along the sheared contact between metasediments (to the west) and mafic volcanics (to the east) close to the contact with a major tonalitic intrusive. A secondary trend of anomalism lies is also within the sedimentary sequence ( Appendix B – Figure 5 ).

Ghana Exploration

Exploration activities at Edikan focussed on assessment and follow up of the results from the Corporate GeoScience Group (“CGSG”) targeting exercise completed during the September Quarter. A 100-metre oriented diamond hole was drilled in-pit at Esuajah North to investigate mineralisation orientations identified from 3D Leapfrog modelling conducted as part of the CGSG study. These cryptic structures have not been recognised previously in core logging or pit mapping and may influence the down-plunge orientation of higher-grade shoots or sheets of gold mineralisation within the Esuajah North granite. Given the cryptic nature of the structures, consideration is being given to non-destructive 3D XRF scanning tomography to provide information on gold distribution within the drill core in preference to conventional assays.

An option agreement was signed with Adio-Mabas Ghana Ltd to explore the latter company’s Agyakusu (AGY) Prospecting License adjacent to Perseus’s Edikan Gold Mine in Ghana. The permit is located between 2 and 8 kilometres north of the Edikan processing facility and covers an area of 24.2 square kilometres. The AGY permit is the site of current artisanal mining at the Breman prospect, exploiting near-surface granite-hosted gold mineralisation ( Appendix B – Figure 6 ).

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 Cote 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 Cote
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 in25

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.
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.

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.
• A minimum cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au is applied to the
reported intervals.

• Gold mineralisation is related to altered syeno-granite and
basalt in contact with the marginal parts of the intrusive,
with associated pyrite + magnetite ± quartz veining.
• The Sissingué area is dominated by clastic basinal meta-
sediments intruded by major felsic (granodioritic) and
minor mafic intrusions.
• Gold mineralisation occurs predominantly in narrow,
stockwork quartz veins within altered metasediments
(sericite-carbonate + pyrite±arsenopyrite), often at and/or
close to the contacts with plug-like diorite intrusions.

• No metal equivalent reporting is used or applied
Relationship
between
mineralisati
on 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 zone dips ~80 deg
to the northwest, and drilling was inclined at -50 to -55 deg
to the southeast. 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 and cross-section are included in
the report.
• All significant results are tabulated in Appendix A.
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 included in the
report (Drill Plan).
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material,
should be reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical survey results;
geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock
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.
Further
work
The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests
for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially sensitive.
• The work reported herein comprises initial exploration
drilling of a previously unknown mineralized body, with
follow-up drilling currently underway to investigate strike
and depth extensions.
• Drilling results may form the basis for future estimation of
Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (if warranted).
