Adyton receives Wapolu environmental permit, advancing gold mine restart

Brisbane, Australia--(Newsfile Corp. - July 6, 2026) - Adyton Resources Corporation (TSXV: ADY) (OTCQB: ADYRF) (FSE: 701GR) ( "Adyton" or the "Company" ) is pleased to announce that the Papua New Guinea Conservation and Environment Protection Authority (CEPA) has granted the Environment Permit EP-L2(1080) to Wapolu ("Wapolu") or (the "Project"). The grant of the Environment Permit marks an important milestone in the responsible redevelopment of the Wapolu Project. The permit confirms that the Project's environmental management plans have satisfied the requirements of the CEPA framework and supports Adyton's commitment to developing Wapolu in an environmentally responsible manner, in partnership with local communities and stakeholders.

With this approval now in place , the remaining key regulatory milestones for the recommencement of mining operations are the grant of a Mining Lease and a Lease for Mining Purposes, both of which are administered through the Mineral Resources Authority (MRA). "The grant of the Wapolu Environment Permit is a significant de-risking milestone and reflects the considerable work undertaken by our team, government agencies, local landowners and communities to responsibly advance the Project," said Tim Crossley, Chief Executive Officer of Adyton. "We are committed to redeveloping Wapolu in a manner that creates lasting value for all stakeholders.

We appreciate the collaborative approach taken throughout this process and look forward to working with the MRA, CEPA, our host communities and all stakeholders as we progress the remaining approvals required to restart mining operations." Louis Wang, Project Director of EVIH, commented: "We are pleased to have received the Environment Permit for Wapolu and appreciate CEPA's engagement throughout the assessment process. This approval is an important step in advancing the project toward the restart of operations." As previously announced on June 8, 2026, the Company received approval from the MRA for a variation to Exploration Licence 2549 ("EL 2549"), which hosts the Wapolu Gold Project, enabling the extraction and processing of an approximately 20,000 tonne bulk sample. The approval of the EL 2549 variation, together with the grant of the Environment Permit, represents meaningful progress toward the restart of mining and processing operations (300,000 tpa ROM) at Wapolu which remains on target for Q4 2026.

The Wapolu Gold Project, together with the neighbouring Gameta licence area, comprises two of the most advanced development assets on Fergusson Island. Both projects are being advanced through the permitting and development process by Adyton and EVIH.
