MINING OPERATIONS
GROUP PRODUCTION, COSTS AND NOTIONAL CASHFLOW
Perseus’s three operating gold mines, Edikan in Ghana, and Sissingué and Yaouré in Côte d’Ivoire, performed strongly in the June 2021 quarter, producing a combined total of 102,788 ounces of gold, 16% more than in the prior quarter (see Table 2 for a summary of cost and production by mine) and 50% more than in the December 2020 quarter.
For the Half Year to 30 June 2021, Group gold production totalled 191,246 ounces[1] compared to production guidance for the same period of 175,000 to 190,0000 ounces while gold production during the Financial Year to 30 June 2021 totalled 328,632[1] ounces compared to production guidance of 312,386 to 327,386 ounces. In both periods, gold production exceeded the top end of the guidance range.
Gold sales from all three operations totalled 106,899 ounces, 23% more than last quarter. The weighted average gold price[2] realised from sales of gold was US$1,652 per ounce, 1.5% more than the price received in the March 2021 quarter.
The weighted average production costs[2] at Yaouré, Sissingué and Edikan were US$921 per ounce, while AISCs of US$1,047 per ounce of gold were recorded during the quarter. These costs were 8% and 5% higher respectively than comparative costs incurred in the previous quarter.

Perseus’s average cash margin for the quarter was US$605 per ounce, approximately US$24 per ounce less than that achieved during the March 2021 quarter. Notional operating cashflow from operations of US$62.1 million, was US$20.9 million or 51% more than that generated in the prior period, driven by the inclusion of notional cashflow from Yaour é following declaration of commercial production at the end of March 2021 and by quarter-on-quarter production growth of 16%.
Table 3 below summarises the quarterly realised gold price and cash flow across the operations.

YAOURÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D’IVOIRE
Following declaration of commercial production at the end of the March 2021 quarter, operations at Yaouré have settled into a steady rhythm with most KPIs being regularly achieved or exceeded, delivering results that surpassed Half Year production and cost guidance to the market.
During the quarter, Yaouré produced 37,343 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$951 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,036 per ounce. The weighted average sales price of the 42,264 ounces of gold sold during the quarter was US$1,684 per ounce, giving rise to a cash margin of US$648 per ounce. Notional cashflow generated from the Yaouré operations amounted to US$24.2 million for the quarter.
As the quarter progressed, the availability of higher-grade fresh ore from the CMA pit increased and this material was progressively added to the blend of ore fed to the plant, displacing lower grade material drawn from decommissioned heap leach pads and low-grade oxide ore stockpiles.
On a half yearly basis, Yaouré produced 59,438 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$951 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,036 per ounce. This exceeded the previously announced market guidance of 48-52,000 ounces at an AISC of US$1,100-1,300 per ounce for the period. The weighted average sales price of the 54,182 ounces of gold sold during the Half Year was US$1,692 per ounce.
Table 4 below summarises the key performance statistics achieved at Yaouré during the quarter, half and financial year.
BACK UP POWER SUPPLY
As a result of nationwide power restrictions in C ô te d’Ivoire imposed by power generating authorities, power draw at Yaour é during the quarter was periodically reduced, limiting process plant throughput rates. In response to these restrictions, an 18 MW standby diesel fired power station was acquired and installed during the quarter. Since the end of the quarter, the power station has been fully commissioned, eliminating the potential for future power shortages. In the coming quarter, a study will commence to investigate the potential for replacing the diesel fired generators with a longer-term power solution involving either the full or partial use of renewable energy sources including solar and or wind power.
MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION
The reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained gold relative to the Yaour é Mineral Resource block model during the quarter and for the seven months from commencement of ore processing in November 2020 are shown in Table 5 . During the last 3 months, 20% more ore tonnes at 4% higher grade have been produced compared to the Mineral Resource model. Over the first seven months of operation, Yaouré has produced slightly more metal than predicted by the Mineral Resource model. The month of June 2021 was the first period in which most of the ore feed derived from newly mined open pit ore. Prior to this, most of the ore feed comprised material reclaimed from decommissioned heap leach pads built during from previous operations. The performance of the Yaouré Mineral Resource model to date is considered satisfactory.

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves resulting from successful exploration programmes conducted during the financial year as well as incorporate operating costs based on current consumable supply contracts and workforce structure.
SISSINGUÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D’IVOIRE
On a half yearly basis, Sissingué produced 48,763 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$580 per ounce and an AISC of US$715 per ounce. This exceeded the previously announced market guidance of 39,500-43,000 ounces at an AISC of US$650-725 per ounce for the period. For the 2021 financial year, gold production totalled 104,672 ounces at an AISC of US$676 per ounce. This also compared very well to financial year market guidance of 95,409 – 98,909 ounces at US$646-677 per ounce. The weighted average sales price of the 55,519 ounces of gold sold during the half year was US$1,670 per ounce while the 102,635 ounces sold during the 2021 financial year were sold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,682 per ounce.
During the quarter, 23,224 ounces of gold were produced at Sissingué at a production cost of US$628 per ounce and an AISC of US$754 per ounce. The weighted average sales price of the 21,672 ounces of gold sold during the quarter was US$1,637 per ounce, giving rise to a cash margin of US$883 per ounce. Notional cashflow generated from the Sissingué operations amounted to US$20.5 million for the quarter, US$5.5 million less than in the prior quarter largely due to 12% higher AISC, lower realised gold price and a 9% decrease in the mine’s quarter-on-quarter gold production.
The total of 327,043 dry metric tonnes of ore milled during the quarter was 21% more than in the prior quarter, reflecting materially improved runtime of 95% during the quarter and a 10% increase in throughput rates. The improved quantity of material processed was however offset by two factors. At 91%, the gold recovery rate was lower than the rate of 94% achieved in the prior quarter reflecting the expected lower recovery of fresh ore. The impact of this decrease was compounded by a decrease in head grade of ore treated from 3.13g/t to 2.42g/t which was also expected as we moved out of a zone of particularly high-grade ore in the bottom of the stage 3 pit.
Unit production costs for the quarter at US$628 per ounce were 18% higher than in the prior period partially due to lower gold production. The rise in unit mining costs was largely a function of reduced tonnes mined, caused by weather and also deepening of the pit. The rise in unit processing costs was higher than expected given that tonnes of ore processed also increased. This was due to several factors including the USD:CFA exchange rate that caused an increase in power costs in USD terms, higher reagent consumption as ore types changed and also the timing of a mill reline that increased maintenance costs.
AISCs at US$754 per ounce were 12% higher than the AISC recorded in the prior period. As noted above, production costs were higher in the period, as were royalty costs however sustaining capital expenditure was lower, falling from US$40 per ounce to US$12 per ounce reflecting a reduction of work on raising the level of the tailings dam.
Table 6 below summarises the key performance statistics at Sissingué during the quarter as well as in prior periods.
MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION
The reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained ounces relative to the Sissingu é Mineral Resource block model on which mine plans are based is shown in Table 7 . During the last 3 months , 8% more ore tonnes at 5% higher grade have been produced compared to the Mineral Resource model. Over each of the last six and 12-month periods, Sissingué has produced more metal than predicted by the Mineral Resource model, primarily because of grade control outlining increased tonnages of ore. Perseus regards the outperformance as being within normal industry standards.
FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE VÉRONIQUE, ANTOINETTE AND JULIETTE ORE DEPOSITS
Work advanced during the quarter on a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) of an operation involving mining ore from three satellite deposits located on the Bago é exploration permit and trucking the ore back to the Sissingu é plant for processing.
Work on the DFS is due to be completed at the end of July 2021, after which it will be lodged with the Ivorian Department of Mines, Petroleum and Energy along with an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) being prepared by local consultants (CECAF). These documents will form the basis of an application for an Exploitation Permit (EP) covering the Bago é exploration permit area.

EXPLOITATION LICENCE GRANTED FOR FIMBIASSO ORE DEPOSIT
In early July 2021, the Ivorian Council of Ministers and the President of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire approved and executed a decree granting an EP covering the Fimbiasso gold deposit in the departments of Tengréla, Madinani and Kouto in Northern Côte d’Ivoire to one of Perseus’s subsidiary companies.
With the granting of the EP, detailed mine planning can now proceed with certainty. Following the completion of the DFS for the development of Véronique, Antoinette and Juliette satellite deposits referred to above, an updated LOMP combining activities on each of the Sissingué, Fimbiasso and Bagoé ore deposits will be completed. The target date for the public release of this revised LOMP, which is expected to extend the life of the Sissingué processing operation to at least FY2024 without further discovery of ore, is the end of the September 2021 quarter.

EDIKAN GOLD MINE, GHANA
During the half year to 30 June 2021, Edikan produced 83,045 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$1,054 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,213 per ounce. For the 2021 financial year, gold production totalled 161,835 ounces at an AISC of US$1,231 per ounce. The weighted average sales price of the 84,412 ounces of gold sold during the half year was US$1,602 per ounce while the 164,381 ounces sold during the full 2021 financial year were sold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,607 per ounce.
In the June 2021 quarter, Perseus produced 42,221 ounces of gold at Edikan (3% more than in the March quarter) at a production cost of US$1,057 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,217 per ounce. These costs were in line with comparable costs recorded in the prior period. Gold sales (42,962 ounces) were 4% more than in the prior quarter, at a weighted average realised gold price of US$1,628 per ounce. This generated a cash margin of US$411 per ounce, 10% more than in the March quarter and notional cashflow of US$17.4 million, 14% more than in the prior period.
During the quarter, Edikan processed ore from the AG and Fetish pits as well as from the ROM stockpiles. Runtime of the plant improved from 90% to 93%. Reflecting the properties of the mill feed, throughput rates increased by 1%, head grade was reasonably steady at 0.92 g/t and the average gold recovery rate for the quarter was steady at 85%. While these KPIs resulted in a 3% increase in gold production, both head grade and recovery rates were below expectations, due in part to a shortfall of available ore from the Fetish pit. This resulted in the addition to the feed blend of more lower grade ore from the ROM stockpiles than planned, to maintain throughput rates.
As noted above, production costs for the quarter at US$1,057 per ounce were reasonably steady reflecting slightly higher unit mining costs and G&A costs, largely offset by lower unit processing costs. Unit mining costs at US$3.30 per tonne were 6% higher than in the prior period, but with 4% more tonnes mined this reflected a larger increase in the mining cost base due to equipment availability issues of contractors and an increase in the amount of grade control drilling required in the Fetish pit. Unit processing costs at $9.00 per tonne were 12% lower than the prior period, reflecting a 6% increase in tonnes of ore milled as well as lower maintenance costs and lower reagent usage during the quarter, offset slightly by higher power costs due to regular use of stand by generators to provide power to the processing facility. G&A costs at US$1.38 million per month were in line with costs incurred in the preceding quarter.
The quarterly AISC at US$1,217 per ounce was US$15.00 per ounce or 1% higher than the prior quarter. While higher production costs accounted for US$6 per ounce of the US$15 per ounce increase, a significant increase in sustaining capital (US$69 per ounce compared to US$30 per ounce) related to purchase of maintenance materials to be installed later in the year, partially offset by a decrease in royalties resulting from the timing of royalty payments, accounted for the remaining US$9 per ounce increase in AISC.
Table 8 below summarises the key performance statistics at Edikan during the quarter as well as in prior periods.
MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION
Reconciliation of processed tonnes and grade of ore relative to the Mineral Resource block models for Edikan’s Fetish and AG pits indicated a continuation of the deteriorating performance of the Fetish Resource model recorded in prior periods. After infill drilling (1,122 metres in 9 RC holes) and updating of the geological interpretation, Perseus updated the Fetish Mineral Resource model during the quarter to more closely reflect the tonnes and grades located by grade control during the March quarter. The improved reconciliation figures shown in Table 9 for the three months period to 30 June reflect adoption of the new Resource model from the beginning of May 2021.

CÔTE D’IVOIRE EXPLORATION
YAOURÉ EXPLORATION & EXPLOITATION PERMITS
Exploration activities during the quarter on the Yaouré exploration and exploitation permits included air core (AC) drilling at Degbezere, and reverse circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) at each of the CMA SW, CMA East, Kongonza and Govisou prospects ( Appendix 1 – Figure 1.1 ).
At Degbezere, AC drilling on the Yaouré West exploitation permit was undertaken to follow up strong gold-in-auger anomalies, with 4,703 metres drilled in 91 holes. Scattered narrow gold hits were recorded related to structures developed primarily in basalts. Better intercepts are tabulated below in Table 11 .

Elsewhere on the Yaouré West exploration permit, augering commenced along the Degbezere NE trend, with 1,662 metres drilled in 156 holes. This work extends previous augering and covers a structural target identified in the 2D seismic line surveyed in 2020. Results remain pending.
Infill RC and DD drilling was completed at the CMA SW (previously South Extension) and Govisou prospects to better define mineralisation in these areas in preparation for estimation of Resources. At CMA SW, 139 RC holes were drilled for 8,255 metres. Drilling results were consistent with previous drilling, confirming consistent mineralisation over approximately 5-metre widths for a 750-metre strike length ( Appendix 1 – Figures 1.2 and 1.3 ). The better intersections recorded are tabulated below in Table 12 .
The drilling at Govisou followed up drilling previously reported in Perseus’s ASX release of 7 April 2021, that returned highly encouraging intercepts including YRC1574: 93m @ 2.74 g/t Au from 0m; YRC1596: 65m @ 2.73 g/t Au from 24m and 35m @ 3.49 g/t Au from 105m; YRC1457: 25m @ 3.33 g/t Au from 55m; and YRC1458: 52m @ 3.02 g/t Au from 28m. Drilling targeted the potential deeper extensions of the interpreted ruler-like mineralised zone, with 11 RC pre-collared DD holes and three RC holes drilled for 1,925 metres. Only partial results have been received for this drilling to date, with assays for the deeper and more prospective DD sections of most holes still pending.
Following processing and interpretation of data from the Yaouré 3D seismic program during the previous quarter, drilling commenced to test near-surface extensions of CMA look-alike structures in the hanging wall of the main CMA structure, now termed the CMA East prospect. By quarter end, Perseus had drilled 3,760 metres in 42 RC holes, with assays for these holes still pending.
In addition to the above, Perseus completed 2,104 metres in 22 RC holes plus a single 220 metre DD hole at the Kongonza prospect on the interpreted south-eastern extension of the CMA. Assays for these holes remain pending.
Complete results for the Yaouré drilling discussed above are presented in Appendix 1 – Table 1.1 .

BAGOÉ EXPLORATION PERMIT
Perseus completed infill and extensional AC and RC drilling at the Veronique South and SE, Juliette, and Brigitte prospects on the Bagoé permit ( Appendix 1 – Figures 1.4 and 1.5 ). A total of 6,448 metres was drilled in 82 AC and 56 RC holes. Assays for these holes remain pending.
Details for the Bagoé drilling are presented in Appendix 1 – Table 1.2 .
SISSINGUÉ EXPLOITATION PERMIT
Exploration on the Sissingué Exploitation Permit during the quarter involved the completion of a three-hole deep diamond drilling program beneath the Sissingué Gold Mine ( Appendix 1 – Figure 1.4 ), with SD0386 completed at 830 metres and SD0386 completed at 650 metres.
The deep diamond holes were designed to investigate possible extensions or repetitions of the main granite body hosting the bulk of mineralisation at Sissingué. Results from these three holes reported only weak mineralisation. Although narrow mineralised porphyry dykes were intersected in each hole, the hoped-for repetitions of the large granite bodies hosting the bulk of mineralisation at Sissingué were not present. Better intercepts are tabled below in Table 13 .

Results were received from AC drilling completed at the Gbeni (Tiana South) prospect last quarter. This drilling covered the southerly extensions of the Tiana and Cashew Farm zones where extensive artisanal surface workings are associated with small dioritic plugs. Single hits were recorded on three fences with highlights including 4m @ 1.38 g/t from 28m in GBAC0025 and 8m @ 4.21 g/t from 76m in GBAC0043.
Full details of the Sissingué Deeps and Gbeni drilling, including all assays, are provided in Appendix 1 - Table 1.3 .
MINIGNAN EXPLORATION PERMIT
Elsewhere in Cote d’Ivoire, Perseus drilled 3,020 metres in 434 auger holes on its Minignan exploration permit located in north-western Côte d’Ivoire. This work followed up a 7km-long gold-in-soil anomaly identified along the regionally prospective Bafing Shear Zone where it extends through the permit. Assays from this work remain pending.
DRILLING, SAMPLING AND ASSAYING DETAILS FOR CÔTE D’IVOIRE EXPLORATION
YAOURÉ
Geology
The Yaouré project lies near the south-eastern flank of the Bouaflé greenstone belt in central Côte d’Ivoire. Mineralisation is hosted by Paleoproterozoic aged metabasalts and felsic intrusive rocks of the Birimian Supergroup. The rocks are metamorphosed to lower greenschist facies and only locally feature penetrative deformation fabrics. The CMASW and Kongonza prospects lie on interpreted segments of a major mineralised reverse fault system, the CMA thrust structure. The two prospects lie on its southern end where it bifurcates into SW and SE branches. The CMA SW structure strikes NE and dips at about 30 degrees toward the SE. Mineralisation comprises gold associated with pyrite in a quartzalbite-carbonate alteration assemblage in metabasalts. The mineralised structure is typically 6-8 metres true thickness. At Kongonza, gold is associated with quartz veining and silicification in a structure striking NNW and dipping at about 40 degrees east. At low gold grade thresholds (e.g. 0.2g/t) the Kongonza mineralisation is up to 70 metres true thickness but potentially economic grades are generally limited to 10-15 metre true thicknesses.
The Govisou prospect is underlain by andesitic basalts intruded by granodiorite bodies. Mineralisation occurs as disseminations of pyrite and arsenopyrite in the granodiorite and in quartz-carbonate veins in both the intrusive and basalts.
The CMA East drilling was designed to investigate CMA-like structures identified from a 3D seismic survey where these structures were interpreted to project to surface.
The Degbezere prospects are located along a major regional shear zone around 15-20km west of the CMA area. The geology there comprises mafic volcanics locally intruded by granodiorite bodies.
CMA mineralisation is associated with quartz-albite-carbonate veining in reverse fault structures that dip at 25 to 30 degrees to the east. The adjacent intrusive-hosted Yaouré deposit comprises mineralisation controlled by east-dipping structures, similar to CMA, in addition to mineralisation associated with quartz-tourmaline-chlorite-carbonate veining controlled by NE and NW striking, sub-vertical faults and also stockwork quartz veins with associated alteration selvages hosted by a granodiorite intrusive body.
No significant concentrations of other economic metals or deleterious metals occur with the mineralisation. Arsenopyrite and molybdenite occur in trace quantities.
Drilling Techniques
Exploration drilling described in this report included aircore (AC) drilling, reverse circulation (RC) and diamond core (DD) drill holes. Air core drilling (AC) used a 105mm face-sampling blade bit. Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) used a 135mm face sampling hammer.
Ground surveys of drill hole collars are presently incomplete. The locations provided in the announcement derive from a mixture of DGPS and hand-held GPS readings. The former are expected to be reliable to <1m in X-Y whilst the latter are expected to be reliable to +/- 2m in X-Y. Coordinates are stated in WGS84 Zone 30N UTM grid.

All RC and DD holes have been down-hole surveyed at approximately 30m depth increments using a Reflex digital compass instrument. Aircore holes were not down-hole surveyed.
Drill Coverage
Recent resource definition drilling at Govisou and CMA-SW has infilled drill spacing to nominal 40m x 20m or 20m x 20m in plan view.
Drill coverage on the earlier stage prospects such as CMA-East, Kongonza and Degbezere has been appropriate for the level of investigation – typically traverses 120-160m apart with holes drilled ‘heel-to-toe’ on 40m spacings. Most holes have been drilled at -55 to -60 degree dips.
CMA-SW and Kongonza mineralization dip at approximately 30 and 40 degrees respectively. In holes drilled at -60 degrees dip, true widths are approximately equal to down-hole intercept lengths.
The geometry of the Govisou mineralisation is not well understood and hence true widths are uncertain. The geometry of the scattered mineralisation intersected at Degbezere is not well understood and hence true widths are uncertain.
Sampling
Air core drill samples were collected at the drill site over 1m intervals, with each 1m spear sampled and the spear samples composited into 4m intervals to produce a subsample of 2.4 – 3kg for submission for assay.
RC drill samples were collected at drill sites over 1 metre intervals and split using multi-stage riffle splitters. Sample weights were nominally 3 kilograms. Sample recovery was measured by weighing bulk recovered samples. Samples were logged visually for recovery, moisture and contamination. The majority of RC samples were logged as dry and sample contamination in RC holes is not considered a significant risk to the reliability of resource estimates.
Diamond core was generally sawn in half using a diamond blade saw, with one half sent for assaying and the other half stored on site in core trays for reference. Samples were normally taken over 1 metre intervals (in some cases being adjusted for geology to shorter intervals). Core recoveries were measured and averaged in excess of 90%.
Reject RC samples have been retained at site in “sample farms” with all assay pulps retained at the relevant laboratory for 3 months before return to site for long term storage.
Sample Analytical Methods
The majority of sample preparation has been carried out on site in a dedicated sample preparation facility owned and operated by Perseus. Sample preparation typically comprised drying, crushing to -2 millimetres and pulverising of a 1.5 kg subsample. Internal laboratory checks required at least 85% of the pulp passing -75 microns. The pulverised product was then dumped on a rubber mat, rolled and approximately 300g selected by multiple dips of a spatula and packaged in a kraft paper packet.
Sample grind size was monitored by screening 1:100 samples. Duplicate field split samples were collected for each 1:20 samples. Duplicate pulp samples were created for each 1:20 samples.
The majority of samples have been assayed by 50g fire assay technique with AAS determination at independent commercial laboratories in Côte d’Ivoire, predominantly Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Abidjan and MSA Laboratory in Yamoussoukro.
A consistent regime of quality assurance has been employed including submission of duplicate pulp samples, coarse blanks and certified reference materials. The performances of blanks and standards were monitored as assay results were received. The commercial laboratory’s internal QAQC includes the use of certified reference materials and pulp replicates.
Sample Security
Chain of custody was managed by Perseus. Perseus employees retained custody of subsamples from drill sites through transport to the Yaouré sample preparation laboratory, through that facility and then transport of subsample pulps to the commercial laboratories in either Abidjan or Yamoussoukro.

BAGOÉ
Geology
The Bagoé Gold Project is located in the West African Craton and covers Palaeoproterozoic (Birimian) rocks of the southern extension of the Syama Greenstone Belt and the western margin of the Senoufo Greenstone Belt. Gold deposits at Bagoé are of the orogenic, greenstone-hosted type and probably lie within the Senoufo belt. The main prospect within the Bagoé project area is the Antoinette deposit (not covered in this release) which lies on a major NE trending shear zone within a mafic volcanic and metasediment sequence with intruded dioritic bodies.
The Juliette gold deposit is located 3.5km SW of Antoinette and is also hosted by the Antoinette sequence/structure. Mineralisation is subvertical, extends over about 300m strike and generally comprises a single lens 4-10m wide. Weathering extends to 30-40m depth.
The Brigitte prospect is located ~2-3km NE of Antoinette and is hosted by the extension of the Antoinette sequence/structure. Mineralisation is insufficiently understood at present to comment other than it appears to lie between mafic volcanics to the NW and mixed diorite and sediments to the SE. Weathering extends to 30-40m depth. Véronique gold deposit and its satellites are located 16km SSE of Antoinette. Mineralisation extends over 900m strike and generally comprises a single NW-striking quartz vein 1-2m thick that dips at 45 degrees to the SW. The vein is hosted by an extensive granodiorite stock. Alteration selvages extending 2-3m either side of the vein result, in places, in 6-8m true thickness of mineralisation. Weathering extends to 50-60m depth.
No significant concentrations of other economic metals or deleterious metals occur with the mineralisation. Arsenopyrite occurs in trace quantities.
Drilling Techniques
Exploration drilling described in this report included aircore (AC) drilling and reverse circulation (RC) drill holes. Air core drilling (AC) used a 105mm face-sampling blade bit. Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) used a 135mm face sampling hammer.
Ground surveys of drill hole collars are presently incomplete. The locations provided in the announcement derive from a mixture of DGPS and hand-held GPS readings. The former are expected to be reliable to <1m in X-Y whilst the latter are expected to be reliable to +/- 2m in X-Y. Coordinates are stated in WGS84 Zone 29N UTM grid.
All RC holes have been down-hole surveyed at approximately 30m depth increments using a Reflex digital compass instrument. Aircore holes were not down-hole surveyed.
Drill Coverage
Recent resource definition drilling at Véronique SE and Juliette has extended previous drilling on nominal 40 x 20m centres in plan view.
Drill coverage on the earlier stage prospects such as Brigitte and Véronique South has been appropriate for the level of investigation – typically traverses 120-160m apart with holes drilled ‘heel-to-toe’ on 40m spacings. Most holes have been drilled at -55 to -60 degree dips.
Veronique South and SE mineralization strikes NW and dips at approximately 45 degrees toward the SW. In holes drilled at -60 degrees dip toward 045 degrees azimuth, true widths are approximately equal to down-hole intercept lengths. Mineralisation at Juliette is essentially subvertical and hence for drill holes at -55 degrees true widths are approximately 70% of drilled widths. The geometry of the Brigitte mineralisation is not well understood and hence true widths are uncertain.
Sampling
Air core drill samples were collected at the drill site over 1m intervals, with each 1m spear sampled and the spear samples composited into 4m intervals to produce a subsample of 2.4 – 3kg for submission for assay.

SISSINGUÉ
Geology
The Sissingué Gold Project is located in the West African Craton and covers Paleoproterozoic (Birimian) rocks of the central part of the Syama Greenstone Belt. Gold deposits at Sissingué are of the orogenic, greenstone-hosted type.
The Sissingué area is dominated by clastic basinal metasediments intruded by major felsic (granodioritic) and minor mafic intrusions.
Gold mineralisation at Sissingué occurs predominantly in quartz veins within dykes and plug-like granite intrusions that host strong quartz veining and sericite-carbonate + pyrite ± arsenopyrite alteration. These are intruded into metapelites and sandstones that are also strongly mineralised, particularly above the main intrusive plug(s).
Gold mineralisation at Gbeni is hosted by quartz-veined and variably altered metasediments, often in close proximity to ‘dioritic’ plugs. The latter do not appear to be mineralised.
No significant concentrations of other economic metals or deleterious metals occur with the mineralisation. Arsenopyrite occurs in trace quantities.
Drilling Techniques
Exploration drilling at Sissingué described in this report included aircore (AC) drilling and diamond core (DD) drill holes. Air core drilling (AC) used a 105mm face-sampling blade bit. Diamond drillholes were cored HQ from surface to around 200m depth, cased off and drilled NQ to final depth.

Ground surveys of drill hole collars are presently incomplete. The locations provided in the announcement derive from a mixture of DGPS (diamond holes) and hand-held GPS readings. The former are expected to be reliable to <1m in X-Y whilst the latter are expected to be reliable to +/- 2m in X-Y. Coordinates are stated in WGS84 Zone 29N grid.
DD holes were down-hole surveyed at approximately 30 depth increments using a Reflex digital compass instrument. Aircore holes were not down-hole surveyed.
Drill Coverage
The three diamond holes drilled beneath the Sissingué deposit were reconnaissance in nature and designed to test specific geological concepts at depth; consequently, drill holes were not located on a set spacing. The holes were drilled at -55 degrees dip and true widths are estimated to be around 70% of drilled widths.
Drill coverage on the early stage Gbeni prospect was appropriate for the level of investigation – typically single traverses across soil anomalies with holes drilled ‘heel-to-toe’ on 40m spacings. Most holes have been drilled at -55 degree dips. The geometry of the mineralisation is not well understood, and hence true widths are uncertain.
Sampling
Air core drill samples were collected at the drill site over 1m intervals, with each 1m spear sampled and the spear samples composited into 4m intervals to produce a subsample of 2.4 – 3kg for submission for assay.
Diamond core was generally sawn in half using a diamond blade saw, with one half sent for assaying and the other half stored on site in core trays for reference. Samples were normally taken over 1 metre intervals (in some cases being adjusted for geology to shorter intervals). Core recoveries were measured and averaged in excess of 90%.
All assay pulps are retained at the relevant laboratory for 3 months before return to site for long term storage.
Sample Analytical Methods
The majority of sample preparation has been carried out at Yaouré in a dedicated sample preparation facility owned and operated by Perseus. Sample preparation typically comprised drying, crushing to -2 millimetres and pulverising of a 1.5 kg subsample. Internal laboratory checks required at least 85% of the pulp passing -75 microns. The pulverised product was then dumped on a rubber mat, rolled and approximately 300g selected by multiple dips of a spatula and packaged in a kraft paper packet.
Sample grind size was monitored by screening 1:100 samples. Duplicate field split samples were collected for each 1:20 samples. Duplicate pulp samples were created for each 1:20 samples.
The majority of samples have been assayed by 50 g fire assay technique with AAS determination for gold only at independent commercial laboratories in Côte d’Ivoire, predominantly Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Abidjan.
A consistent regime of quality assurance has been employed including submission of duplicate pulp samples, coarse blanks and certified reference materials. The performances of blanks and standards were monitored as assay results were received. The commercial laboratory’s internal QAQC also includes the use of certified reference materials and pulp replicates.
Sample Security
Chain of custody was managed by Perseus. Perseus employees retained custody of subsamples from drill sites through transport to the Yaouré sample preparation laboratory, through that facility and then transport of subsample pulps to the Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan.

GHANA
AGYAKUSU OPTION
Negotiations continued with the local community and farmers to allow first-pass RC and DD drilling over the Breman granite prospect. An agreement was reached late in the quarter with access and drill pad preparations commencing immediately thereafter. The first drill hole was collared on 1 July 2021 and subject to continued access to land, further drilling is planned for the September 2021 quarter.
AGYAKUSU-DML OPTION
Community sensitisation activities commenced ahead of an initial 10,000m AC program to test gold-in-soil anomalism along the main structural/intrusive corridor extending SW from the Breman prospect on the adjoining Agyakusu permit ( Appendix A - Figure 4 ). AC drilling is expected to commence during the next quarter.
DOMENASE OPTION
Planned first-pass soil sampling covering the main structural/intrusive corridors on this property was delayed pending resolution of issues with the option agreement.

GROUP FINANCIAL POSITION
CASHFLOW AND BALANCE SHEET (UNAUDITED)
Perseus continues to strengthen its balance sheet and reports a US$50.3 million increase in its overall net cash position (i.e. cash & bullion less interest-bearing debt) relative to the prior quarter.
Based on the spot gold price of US$1,763 per ounce and a A$:US$ exchange rate of 0.7508 at 30 June 2021, the total value of cash and bullion on hand at the end of the quarter was A$207.9 million, (US$156.1 million) including cash of A$181.3 million (US$136.1 million) and 11,347 ounces of bullion on hand, valued at A$26.7 million (US$20.0 million).
During the quarter, outstanding corporate debt was reduced by US$30 million to US$100 million, resulting in the net cash and bullion balance of US$56.1 million. By comparison, at the end of the prior quarter, the cash and bullion balance amounted to US$135.8 million and with outstanding debt of US$130 million, the net cash and bullion balance stood at US$5.8 million, approximately US$50.3 million less than the current net balance.
The increase in net cash of US$50.3 million resulted from achieving consistent operating margins at Sissingué and Edikan, as well as the ramp up in production and operating cash flows from Yaouré, and reduced capital expenditure following the completion of the development of the mine. Notional cash inflows from Yaouré ramped up to US$24.2 million for the quarter, whilst inflows from Sissingué and Edikan remained reasonably steady contributing a further US$37.9 million. The graph below ( Figure 1 ) shows the notional operating cash flows from the three mines, the largest single driver of cash movement.
The overall movement in cash and bullion during the quarter as shown below in Figure 2 takes account of the positive notional operating margins from the Edikan (A$22.5 million), Sissingué (A$26.6 million), and Yaouré (A$31.4 million) operations, Australian and West African corporate costs (A$4.9 million), exploration (A$12.3 million), debt service (A$41.8 million – of which a principal repayment of US$30 million, or A$39.7 million), and other capex of (A$5.9 million).

GOLD PRICE HEDGING
At the end of the quarter, Perseus held gold forward sales contracts for 210,313 ounces of gold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,564 per ounce. These hedges are designated for delivery progressively over the period up to 30 September 2022. Perseus also held spot deferred sales contracts for a further 90,441 ounces of gold at a weighted average sales price of US$1,668 per ounce. Combining both sets of sales contracts, Perseus’s total hedged position at the end of the quarter was 300,754 ounces at a weighted average sales price of US$1,595 per ounce.
Perseus’s hedge position has decreased by 11,353 ounces since the end of the March 2021 quarter. As a result of our policy of replacing lower priced hedges with higher priced hedge contracts when possible, the weighted average sales price of the hedge book increased by US$43 per ounce or 2.8% during the quarter.
Hedging contracts currently provide downside price protection to approximately 20% of Perseus’s currently forecast gold production for the next three years, leaving 80% of forecast production potentially exposed to movements (both up and down) in the gold price.
SUSTAINABILITY (UNAUDITED)
In financial year 2021, Perseus continued to perform strongly against its social and environmental objectives and targets.
Performance highlights from the financial year 2021 were:
-
Continued to maintain safe, stable operations whilst managing the impacts of the COVID-19 virus, and supporting our communities through the pandemic;
-
Board gender diversity is now at 33% with the appointment of Ms Amber Banfield as a Non-Executive Director in May 2021. Executive Level Diversity (reporting to the CEO) is 40%;
-
Economic contribution to our host countries of US$428 million (greater than 80% of revenue), including ~US$323 million to local suppliers, US$52 million for local salaries, wages and associated taxes, US$51 million in payments to government in taxes, royalties and other payments, and US$2 million in social investment;
-
Local and national employment and procurement 96% and 81% respectively; and
-
Zero significant environmental events or tailings dam integrity issues.

Sustainability challenges during the 2021 financial year included:
-
Whilst Sissingué and Yaouré performed strongly against their continuous improvement TRIFR targets, targets were not achieved at Edikan or at Group level.
-
Community unrest was experienced at Sissingué in January 2021 caused by a misunderstanding by a small group of residents in a local village on the distribution of community benefits by the mine. This misunderstanding was resolved through enhanced engagement with the village leadership including representatives of the “youth” group and re-focus of the projects undertaken under the Sissingu é Community Development Fund.
-
Illegal mining activities on Perseus’s mining and exploration licence areas also presented challenges for the Company at both the Edikan and Yaouré mines.
Perseus’s Sustainable Development Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 will provide full details of the Company’s environmental and social performance during this period and will be published around the same time as our Annual Report early in the December 2021 quarter.

APPENDIX 2 – JORC TABLES
Table 2.1: JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA – CÔTE D’IVOIRE
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| Criteria | JORC Code Explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.. |
• Air core drilling (AC) used a 105mm face-sampling blade bit. • Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) used a 135mm face sampling hammer. • Samples from both AC and RC holes were collected at 1m intervals. • Each sample was manually riffle split to produce a subsample of approximately 3kg. |
| Drilling techniques |
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg 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). |
• Air core drilling (AC) used a 105mm face-sampling blade bit. • Reverse Circulation drilling (RC) drilling used a 135mm face sampling hammer. |
| 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. |
• Sample condition (dry, damp, wet) and a qualitative description of sample quality (high, moderate, low) were logged. • The weight of each entire recovered sample was recorded. • Reject samples have been retained at site in “sample farms”. • The relationship between sample recoveries and gold grades has yet to be investigated. |
| 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 holes were field logged by Perseus geologists. Weathering, oxidation, lithology, alteration and veining information were recorded. • Reference samples were stored in chip trays and all chip trays photographed. • All drill holes were logged in full. |

|---|---|---|
| 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. |
• Each sample was manually riffle split to produce a 2-3kg subsample. • Subsamples were transported to Perseus’s sample preparation laboratory at Yaouré Gold Mine where they were weighed as received, dried, weighed after drying (to determine moisture content), crushed to -2mm, then a riffle split portion of approximately 1kg was pulverised to approximately 90% passing 75 µm. The pulverised product was then dumped on a rubber mat, rolled and approximately 300g selected by multiple dips of a spatula and packaged in a kraft paper packet. • Sample grind size was monitored by screening 1:100 samples. • Duplicate field split samples were collected for each 1:20 samples. • Duplicate pulp samples were created for each 1:20 samples. |
| 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 (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
• Samples were assayed by Bureau Veritas Abidjan using 50g fire assay with AAS finish for gold only. The technique is considered a measure of total gold. • Assay accuracy and reliability were monitored by insertion of blanks at 1:20 samples and reference standards (CRMs) at 1:20 samples. • The performances of blanks and standards were monitored as assay results were received. • The commercial laboratory’s internal QAQC includes the use of certified reference materials and pulp replicates. |
| 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. |
• Intervals of significant gold grades were compared to logging of quartz veining, alteration and mineralisation and chip tray photographs. • Assays were plotted on cross-sections to check that significant intercepts conform to the expected locations of mineralisation and make geometric sense. • Hand-written records of sample intervals and sample numbers, and geological and sample quality logs are keyed into spreadsheet files which are then imported into an aQuire® database supervised by Perseus’s database administrator. • Validation checks are undertaken to ensure internal consistency of sample intervals and logged hole depths and down-hole surveys are sense checked. • Assay values that were below detection limit (0.01g/t Au) were adjusted to equal half of the detection limit value (0.005g/t Au). |

| 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. |
• Ground surveys of drill hole collars are presently incomplete. The locations provided in the announcement derive from a mixture of DGPS and hand-held GPS readings. The former is expected to be reliable to <1m in X-Y whilst the latter is expected to be reliable to +/- 2m in X-Y. Coordinates are stated in WGS84 Zone 29N or 30NUTM grid as noted for each project. • All holes have been down-hole surveyed at approximately 30 depth increments using a Reflex digital compass instrument. • Drone photogrammetric surveys have recently been undertaken over the Antoinette, Juliette and Veronique areas but results are yet to be received. An interim topographic surface has been created using +/- 1m spot height data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission at approximately 30m x 30m spacing and drill hole collars “pinned” to that surface. |
| 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. |
• Recent resource drilling at Govisou, CMA-SE, Veronique and Juliette has infilled drill spacing to nominal 40m x 20m or 20m x 20m in plan view. • Exploration on the other earlier stage prospects ahs been appropriate for the level of investigation – typically 120m x 40m. • The announcement does not include information concerning resource estimates. • The question concerning sample compositing is not relevant. |
| 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. |
• Veronique mineralization strikes NW and dips at approximately 45 degrees toward the SW. In holes drilled at -60 degrees dip toward 045 degrees azimuth, true widths are approximately equal to down-hole intercept lengths. • No orientation-based sampling bias has been identified in the data. |
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. | • Chain of custody was managed by Perseus. Perseus employees retained custody of subsamples from drill sites through transport to the Yaouré sample preparation laboratory, through that facility and then transport of subsample pulps to the commercial laboratory in Abidjan. |

• The Sissingué Gold Project is located in the West African Craton and covers Paleoproterozoic (Birimian) rocks of the central part of the Syama Greenstone Belt. Gold deposits at Sissingué are of the orogenic, greenstone-hosted type. • The Sissingué area is dominated by clastic basinal metasediments intruded by major felsic (granodioritic) and minor mafic intrusions. • Gold mineralisation at Sissingué occurs predominantly in quartz veins within dykes and plug-like felsic intrusions that host strong quartz veining and sericite-carbonate + pyrite ± arsenopyrite alteration. These are intruded into metapelites and sandstones that are also strongly mineralised, particularly above the main intrusive plug(s). • Gold mineralisation at Gbeni is hosted by quartz-veined and variably altered metasediments, often in close proximity to ‘dioritic’ plugs.

| Drill hole information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: - easting and northing of the drill hole collar - elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar - dip and azimuth of the hole - down hole length and interception depth - hole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
• A complete listing of results of all recent drill holes at Sissingué is provided in Table 1.3 of this the announcement, including holes for which assays are not yet available. • The drill holes reported in this announcement have the following parameters: - Grid co-ordinates are UTM WGS84_29N. - Collar elevation is defined as height above sea level in metres (RL). - Dip is the inclination of the hole from the horizontal. Azimuth is reported in WGS 84_29N degrees as the direction toward which the hole is drilled. - Down hole length of the hole is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole, as measured along the drill trace. - Intersection depth is the distance down the hole as measured along the drill trace. - Intersection width is the down hole distance of an intersection as measured along the drill trace. - Hole length is the distance from the surface to the end of the hole, as measured along the drill trace. • Previously reported drilling results have not been repeated in this announcement. |
| 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. |
• Significant intercepts are those exceeding 5g/t x metres using a 0.5g/t cut-off, 2m maximum included waste and no top cut. • Short lengths of high grade that materially affect aggregate results are reported separately as “included” intercepts. • Metal equivalents are not reported. |
| Relationship between mineralisation 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 down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g.’down hole length, true width not known’). |
• The reported results from Sissingué Deeps cover drilling at depths 2-300m below the known deposit. The drillholes have been designed assuming a steep dip westerly dip; hence true widths are ~70-80% of reported down-hole widths. • The reported results from Gbeni are from early-stage exploration drilling; the orientation of geological structure is currently not known with certainty and consequently the true width of reported results is unknown. |
| 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 prospect location map is included in the announcement. |

| Balanced Reporting | • 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. • 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. |
• The locations provided for the Sissingué Deeps holes derive from DGPS surveys reliable to <1m in X-Y. • Surveys for the Gbeni AC drilling were derived from hand- held GPS surveys expected to be reliable to +/- 2m in X-Y. • Coordinates are stated in WGS84 Zone 29N UTM grid. • A complete listing of results of all recent drill holes at Sissingué, including those with no significant intercepts, is provided in the announcement. |
| 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. |
• Since 2013, the Sissingué area has been intensely mined by local artisanal workers. The upper 8-10 vertical metres should be considered depleted and/or severely disturbed. • There is no other exploration data which is considered material to the results reported in this announcement. |
| 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. |
• No further exploration drilling is contemplated in the immediate future at Sissingué. • The results of all exploration conducted by Perseus during its tenure will be reassessed to determine whether further exploration is warranted. |
