Montage Gold grows Koné satellite resources to 1.7Moz at 1.5 g/t Au Indicated

Satellite M&I grades range from 1.3-2.0 g/t Au ● Koné project M&I grade up 27% ● 90,000m drill programme underway HIGHLIGHTS:  M&I Resources for higher-grade satellite deposits at the Koné project have increased by 1.1Moz to 1.7Moz at 1.51 g/t Au compared to 520koz at 1.48 g/t Au which was used as a basis for the 2024 Updated Feasibility Study (“UFS”) whilst Inferred Resources for satellite deposits have increased from nil to 0.8Moz at 1.34 g/t Au Koné project overall M&I Resource increased by 1.4Moz to 6.3Moz, with grade up 27% to 0.80 g/t Au and Inferred Resources increased by 1.6Moz to 2.0Moz with grade up 36% to 0.68 g/t Au, compared to the basis used for the UFS Exceeded target set in October 2024 of delineating +1Moz of M&I Resources at a grade >50% higher than that of the Koné deposit (2024 M&I Resources stood at 0.59 g/t Au), with the goal of supplementing production from the onset Mineralization intercepted at 25 targets with a growing pipeline of +20 targets still to be drill tested, while 12 deposits have now been delineated compared to 2 in the 2024 UFS based on a disciplined exploration approach consisting of outlining starter resources to assess grade and size of targets to prioritize subsequent infill and step-out drilling efforts M&I Resource grades of new discoveries range between 1.3 to 2.0 g/t Au for notable deposits such as Petit Yao (1.51 g/t Au), Gbongogo South (1.47 g/t Au), Soman (1.42 g/t Au), Koban North (1.29 g/t Au), Sena (2.06 g/t Au), Diouma North (1.33 g/t Au), ANV (1.83 g/t Au), Yeré North (2.03 g/t Au), and Lokolo Main (1.92 g/t Au) Step-out and infill drilling has mainly focused on growing M&I Resources at the Gbongogo Main, Gbongogo South, Koban North and ANV deposits with M&I Resources standing at respectively 783koz at 1.51 g/t Au, 230koz at 1.4
