Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated:

"We are extremely pleased to report a strong final production quarter, which has resulted in the Company achieving our narrowed production guidance of 91,910 ounces, which was also in the top half of the original production guidance for the full year 2025.

"We poured 23,719 ounces in the Quarter and sold 25,830 ounces at our highest achieved gold price of US$4,189 per ounce resulting in record quarterly revenue of US$108 million.

"Our record cash generation in the Quarter enabled us to fully repay all remaining outstanding payables and end the Quarter with a higher than projected cash balance of approximately US$137 million. We are pleased to return some of this surplus cash to our shareholders in the form of a bonus dividend, in line with our commitment to return funds to shareholder whilst retaining sufficient cash on our balance sheet to fund all our activities across the Group and continue to grow our cash reserves.

"Near mine exploration in Nigeria continued in Q4, targeting mineralisation underneath the Segilola open pit. Drilling has continued at a faster rate, and we have been encouraged by the exploration results which have justified continuation of the deeper drilling program. We look forward to announcing our drill results later in Q1 2026.

"In Senegal, at Douta, detailed work on the PFS is being finalised after working alongside our contractors and equipment manufacturers. The PFS will be released shortly, on 26 January 2026, and we aim to progress to a development decision shortly after.

"In Cote d'Ivoire, drilling restarted in Guitry and a maiden drilling program started on our Marahui Licence. We are very much looking forward to releasing our first set of results later in Q1 2026.

"Finally, we are excited by the year ahead. Gold production from Segilola continues to strengthen the Company's balance sheet. We continue to work towards a Segilola underground development decision and the Company has several catalysts across all of its projects, particularly at the Douta Project and in Cote d'Ivoire. We look forward to updating the market with our progress through the year."
