30 OCTOBER 2023

HIGHLIGHTS

- – Mabilo High Grade Copper and Gold Project Philippines

• RTG Mining holds a 40% interest in Mt. Labo Exploration and Development Corporation (“Mt. Labo”) which owns the high-grade Copper and Gold Mabilo Project in the Philippines.

• During the quarter, the Company announced that it held its first project development meeting with TVIRD executives to undertake a detailed review of operational plans for the Mabilo Project, including a central focus on the start-up of the Direct Shipping Ore ‘DSO’ operation. RTG considers these latest discussions a significant step forward for RTG and signal TVIRD’s commitment to helping shift the focus for the Mabilo Project from corporate to operational matters.

• The low CAPEX DSO operation is expected to deliver significant cashflow over the first 15 months of operation, with the primary source of ore being the 0.104Mt of supergene chalcocite material at an average reserve grade of 20.7% Cu.

• Management Committee meetings with representatives of both partners are now held every two weeks, and RTG is pleased with the progress being made and co-operative work practices now established.

• In addition, with the restructuring of the Mabilo Project now agreed, the initial focus will be to refresh any remaining operational permitting matters, address financing plans and undertake a review of the costings in the 2016 Feasibility Study, together with finalising the acquisition of surface rights, following which, a commitment to development is anticipated to be formalised by the Board of Mt. Labo.

– Chanach Project Kyrgyz Republic

• RTG holds a majority stake (90%) in the high-grade Chanach Gold and Copper Project (“Chanach Project”) in the Kyrgyz Republic.

• Magnetic Survey and geochemical sampling targeting the skarn and epithermal structures was completed during the period. Processing of the data will be completed by Southern Geoscience Consultants in Perth, with initial results expected in the December quarter.

• Five of the planned seven trenches were completed during the quarter across the mapped skarn and other structures in the central and eastern zones of the tenement. Significant highgrade results were intercepted including:

• 2m @ 4.05g/t Au and 1.56% Cu from Cut 1

• 1m @ 1.10g/t Au and 0.76% Cu from Cut 1

• 7m @ 2.94g/t Au (including 4m @ 4.87g/t Au) and 1.12% Cu from Cut 2 5m @ 5.53g/t Au from Cut 5 (Outcropping Quartz vein in Central Area)

- Panguna Project Bougainville PNG

• RTG is the nominated development partner with the joint venture company established by the Special Mining Lease Osikaiyang Landowners Association (“SMLOLA”) and Central Exploration Pty Ltd (“Central”) in the Landowner proposal with respect to the redevelopment of the Copper-Gold Panguna Project located in the Central Region of the island of Bougainville, within the Autonomous Region of Bougainville PNG.

• There has been significant activity within the Panguna community, with the Mining Department seeking to work with the customary landowners to move towards a re-opening of Panguna to support Independence plans, focussing on unity and aligning the interests of all parties.

• RTG continues to engage with the Toroama Government to understand how we can assist in their future plans for Bougainville and their people and to date the meetings have been productive.

Corporate Summary

• On 4 July 2023, the Company announced it had received commitments to raise circa US$9 million in a private placement to institutional and sophisticated investors (“Private Placement”).

• Cash and liquid assets as at 30 September 2023 were A$11.4 million (including a receivable of US$0.30 million from other consultants).

RTG Mining Inc. ( ASX:RTG, TSX:RTG ) (“RTG” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide its quarterly activities report for the period ended 30 September 2023.

Management Commentary

Commenting on key outcomes from the September quarter, RTG’s CEO Justine Magee said: “RTG continued to make good progress during the quarter, headlined by the completion of the first project development meeting with Philippines project partner TVIRD. This was a key development for the Company, signalling a clear alignment and focus from both parties towards delivering Mabilo’s start-up as quickly as possible.

Following the establishment of the Management Committee at the initial meeting, RTG has since engaged in extensive discussions with TVIRD’s executive team on a fortnightly basis, with these meetings currently centred on finalising the updated budget for Mabilo’s re-start which will focus on the highly profitable DSO operation.

We also recently reported some encouraging results from field work at the Chanach Copper-Gold Project in the Kyrgyz Republic. Although still in the early phase, these high-grade results demonstrate Chanach’s clear potential to host a high-grade, large Copper – Gold Porphyry Skarn system.

RTG enters the December quarter with confidence and a clear plan to continue to advance our portfolio of high quality exploration and development assets. RTG looks forward to providing further updates on progress in the coming quarter as Mabilo continues to move forward.”

OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS

PHILIPPINES INTERESTS – THE MABILO PROJECT

Current Focus and Development Strategy

Mt. Labo is focused on advancing the Mabilo Project to start-up.

Importantly, the Mabilo Project has a significant advantage, with the first phase of the Project being a Direct Shipping Operation, the capital requirements upfront are estimated to be less than US$25 million for which the company has an offer of debt finance (which is yet to be accepted).

The DSO is expected to deliver significant cashflow over the first 15 months of operation, with the primary source of ore being the 0.104Mt of supergene chalcocite material at an average reserve grade of 20.7% Cu.

During the quarter, RTG held its first project development meeting with TVIRD executives to undertake a detailed review of operational plans for the Mabilo Project, including a central focus on the start-up of the potentially highly profitable Direct Shipping phase.

Given the Mabilo Project has been on care and maintenance for over two years, the initial meeting focused on key near-term initiatives including discussions on local issues such as the necessary Social Development and Management Programs and the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Programs together with reviewing tree clearing permits as well as the port facility and the land acquisition program.

A key outcome of the meeting was the agreement that the Management Committee, which has representatives of both project partners, will hold meetings every two weeks to work closely to advance development plans towards a targeted operational start-up as soon as possible.

RTG is also particularly pleased to welcome the appointment of Mr Edsel Abrasaldo to manage the technical aspects of the Mabilo Project on the ground in the Philippines. Mr Abrasaldo is a highly experienced mining executive with extensive regional experience operating in the Philippines.

Mabilo Project Background Summary

• Mt. Labo has secured the Mining Permit, the successful Final Award in the SIAC matter, won the Setting Aside action of Galeo Equipment Corporation (“Galeo”) in Singapore and secured an offer of debt finance and offtake agreement for development of Stage 1, the Direct Shipping Operation (“DSO”), which is yet to be accepted.

• A comprehensive settlement of all outstanding issues with the Villar Family controlled SageCapital Partners, Inc. (“SageCapital”) and TVI Resource Development (Phils.) Inc. (“TVIRD”) has been reached and binding documentation signed.

• The Villar Family is one of the most prominent families in the Philippines and RTG is pleased to partner with them in the development of the Mabilo Project, which is a significant mining project for the country.

• Under the terms of the agreement: RTG will have 40% of Mt. Labo; a 2% net smelter royalty; RTG’s loans to Mt. Labo, currently in the order of US$27 million (A$40.4 million), will be repaid out of the proceeds of Stage 1, the DSO, subject to customary requirements to address liquidity and ongoing operations of Mt. Labo; funding of the project renegotiated and replaced with a pro-rata funding obligation for the first US$5m or 12 months (whichever is the lesser), with SageCapital then responsible to sole fund the next US$5m and again, prorata thereafter; with debt repayments in full and the NSR, RTG will be entitled to approximately 57% of the proceeds of Stage 1.

• Mt. Labo received written confirmation in May 2020 that the MGB has approved the

consolidation of the current Mineral Production Sharing Agreement No. MLC-MRD-459 for the Nalesbitan Project to include the Mabilo Project, having already secured an approved Declared Mine Feasibility Study and Environmental Clearance Certificate for the Project.

• With the restructuring of the Mabilo Project now agreed, the initial focus will be to refresh any remaining operational permitting matters, address financing plans and undertake a review of the costings in the 2016 Feasibility Study, together with finalising the acquisition of surface rights, following which, a commitment to development is expected to be formalised by the Board of Mt. Labo.

Exploration and Development Activities

Resource Extensions

No exploration activities this quarter.

The next round of exploration will likely focus primarily on the porphyry target located under volcanic cover between the South Mineralised Zone and the East Mineralised Zone and extension drilling of the skarn system around the northern orebody.

The porphyry target is well supported by mineralized porphyry veins (b-veins) that have been intercepted in the resource drilling, combined with increasing intensity of calc-silicate alteration and the trending of metallogenic vectors.

KYRGYZ REPUBLIC INTERESTS – THE CHANACH PROJECT

RTG holds a 90% interest in the Chanach Project.

Highlights of the Chanach Project include:

• Strategic addition to RTG’s portfolio with an existing high-grade JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.95 Mt @ 5.11 g/t Au for 484,000 ounces of Au and 17.23 Mt @ 0.37% Cu for 64,000t of Cu[1] (141.1 Mlbs Cu) from only limited drilling to date .

• Acquisition cost of US$3.65 / ounce of Gold and US$0.0063 / pound of Copper.

1 The Mineral Resource estimates were originally compiled and announced by White Cliff Minerals Ltd (“WCN”) on 30 May 2018, in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012 and was last disclosed in WCN’s March, 2019 quarterly report on 30 April 2019 - https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20190430/pdf/444pg6f8t5ln5t.pdf

• Experienced technical expert, advising RTG, believes the exploration potential at the Chanach Project is excellent.

• The conversion of the Prospecting Licence to an Exploration Licence, was finalised and granted during the quarter. The Exploration Licence was issued by the State Committee of Industry, Energy and Subsoil Use of the Kyrgyz Republic.

The Chanach Project is located in the prolific southern Tien Shan metallogenic belt, which runs more than 1,500 km from Uzbekistan through to China and hosts one of the world’s largest open pit gold mines, Murantau (175 Moz[2] ) with production believed to be in the order of 2 million ounces per annum[4] . RTG has appointed Mr. Greg Hall of Phoenix Gold International and former Chief Geologist for Placer Dome, as a consultant given his knowledge of the Chanach Project and other projects in similar geological settings.

The Chanach Project has extensive outcropping mineralised geology with high-grade gold veins from surface and significant gold and copper Inferred Mineral Resources. With only 5% of the identified strike length tested to date, RTG believes the Chanach Project has substantial upside. The Chanach Project area is considered to be highly prospective for world class epithermal gold, porphyry copper-gold and polymetallic skarn deposits with numerous targets already identified.

To date the limited exploration activities have defined an Inferred Mineral Resource of 2.95 Mt @ 5.11 g/t Au for 484,000 ounces of Au and 17.23 Mt @ 0.37% Cu for 64,000t of Cu .

Geological Setting

The Chanach Project (exploration licence AP6771) is located in the North Western part of the Kyrgyz Republic in the Jalal-Abad province and covers an area of 57.25 km[2] of the Chatkal Rangers inside the south-western Tien Shan metallogenic belt, which runs more than 1,500 km from Uzbekistan through to China and hosts one of the world’s largest open pit gold mines, Murantau (175 Moz) with production believed to be in the order of 2 million ounces per annum[4] .

Discovery & Drill Results

The Chanach Project area was discovered around 1963 with geological mapping and surface sampling intermittently up to 2010. The geology of the Chanach Project area is prospective for epithermal gold deposits, porphyry copper deposits and polymetallic skarn deposits. The project area has outcropping mineralised geology seen as multiple high-grade outcropping epithermal veins and skarns, which have indicated several porphyry targets.

Exploration drilling at the Chanach Gold Project commenced in 2014 and to date there have been spectacular intersections of gold mineralisation spanning across the project area, as previously reported by WCN.

Significant intervals from the Quartz Gold Zone include:

• UGZ-15-35 - 8m @ 57.08 g/t Au from 75m including 1m @ 85.53 g/t Au from 76m, 1m @ 89.34 g/t Au from 80m followed by 1m @ 73.28 g/t Au from 81m.

• ERC16-035 - 7m @ 23.52 g/t Au from 45m including 1m @ 149.41 g/t Au from 45m.

• ERC16-036 - 12m @ 15.65 g/t Au including 1m @ 63.24 g/t Au from 82m followed by 1m @ 95.12 g/t Au from 83m.

Significant intervals from the Sandstone Gold Zone include:

• UGZ-15-33 - 4m @ 99.15 g/t Au from 65m including 1m @ 348.48 g/t Au from 67m.

• • UGZ-15-32A - 3m @ 41.45 g/t Au including 1m @ 71.58 g/t Au from 53m.

Significant intervals from the Lower & Upper Gold Zone include:

• LGZ-15-29A - 6m @ 38.40 g/t Au from 26m with 4m @ 56.46 g/t Au from 26m including 1m @ 49.79 g/t Au from 26m, 1m @ 23.55 g/t Au from 27m, 1m @ 95.22 g/t Au from 28m and 1m @ 57.29 g/t Au from 29m.

• CH14-18 - 4m @ 23.83 g/t Au from 85m including 1m @ 30.19 g/t Au from 86m.

Readers are advised that these assay intervals have not been top-cut prior to reporting and true mineralisation widths are not reported. Mineralisation is expected to be sub-vertical. Intervals selected have used a lower cut-off of 0.50 g/t Au. Locations of significant drill intercepts with respect to the mapped mineralised zones are shown in Figure 5.

RTG believes that this information has not materially changed since it was last reported. The Mineral Resources have been reviewed by RTG’s Competent Person.

A structural survey was conducted in 2022 showing occurrences of Cu-Au bearing magnetite skarns, indicating a larger porphyry centre as the key driver for mineralisation. Key findings of the structural survey were:

• 3km strike length of high-grade epithermal veins in the ‘central’ region

• Multiple copper intrusions in the ‘copper’ region over a 1.5km strike

• Multiple occurrences of magnetite skarns mapped over a 7km strike

• Historic rock grades >20g/t Au and 5% Cu

• Potential to extend tenement to east extending strike of skarns

BOUGAINVILLE INTERESTS – THE PANGUNA PROJECT OPPORTUNITY

RTG is the nominated development partner with the joint venture company established by the SMLOLA and Central Exploration Pty Ltd in the Landowner proposal with respect to the redevelopment of the Copper-Gold Panguna Project located in the Central Region of the island of Bougainville, within the Autonomous Region of Bougainville, PNG. RTG owns just under 70% of Central, with additional loans to Central that can be converted to increase our interest. The proposal, being led by the SMLOLA, is a landowner initiative and will be subject to the success or otherwise of the SMLOLA in securing a role in the redevelopment of the mine and the minerals which are owned by the landowners exclusively represented by the SMLOLA.

The members of the SMLOLA are the owners of the customary land which is the subject of the old Panguna open pit mine, and in which the mineral resources of the Panguna mine are located.

The SMLOLA was established by the ABG nearly a decade ago to exclusively represent the customary owners of the land at the old Panguna pit. The SMLOLA constitution was prepared by the ABG legal officers representing the ABG Department of Justice and remains unchanged to this day.

The ABG established the SMLOLA as the Landowner Association to represent the Customary Owners of the land contained within the original but now expired Panguna Special Mining Licence - SML (hence the name SMLOLA, and the similarly EL 01), which covers the entire Panguna Open Pit area. This membership is automatic for those persons born into the 7 named villages, which comprise the customary land area within the SML.

RTG continues to work with the SMLOLA team and the community to progress meaningful and transparent discussions with the ABG on the redevelopment proposal for Panguna and support local community and social programs, reconciliations and unity programs.

Autonomous Bougainville Government

In December of 2019, the ABG successfully conducted the Referendum on Independence, with approximately 98% of Bougainvilleans voting in favour of Independence.

Any form of Independence will require Bougainville to demonstrate to the National Government that it is on a pathway to economic independence. Panguna is a key asset which can materially assist Bougainville establish that critical pathway to economic independence and upon which the aspirations of so many Bougainvilleans depend.

On 23 September 2020, the Company was pleased to announce that the Office of the Bougainville Electoral Commission had declared a new President, the Honourable Mr Ishmael Toroama. President Toroama was a Commander of the Bougainville Revolutionary Army and has a strong record of promoting Peace and Independence for Bougainville, with a stated focus on stamping out any corruption in the Autonomous Bougainville Government and its public service.

There has been significant activity within the Panguna community, with the Mining Department seeking to work with the customary landowners to move towards a re-opening of Panguna to support the Independence plans, focussing on unity and aligning the interests of all parties.

The SMLOLA representatives have had several meetings with the President, which they have been both appreciative of and pleased with his support for the local communities and landowners, assisting them to achieve stronger unity and prepare for a possible redevelopment of Panguna.

With the support of the ABG, there was a successful reconciliation event at Guava Village with landowners and aggrieved parties, which was a very important step under local custom and a necessary step to assist landowners and Bougainville more widely, to move forward with any redevelopment plans at Panguna.

The ABG has also completed the successful Bougainville Trade and Investment Conference providing an opportunity for all stakeholders to come together and critically talk about Bougainville’s trade and investment opportunities including a possible redevelopment of the Panguna Mine.

We continue to engage with the Toroama Government to understand how we can assist in their future plans for Bougainville and their people and to date the meetings have been productive.
