Akobo Minerals AB Provides Operational Update on Segele Mine Akobo Minerals AB (publ) provided an operational update related to the current fuel supply situation and its impact on the Segele mine. Disruptions in global fuel supply, including reduced tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, have constrained fuel availability in Ethiopia, which relies on imported diesel. Against this background, and as a precautionary measure, the Company will temporarily scale back operations at Segele, while maintaining readiness to resume operations as soon as reliable diesel deliveries are restored. This measure is implemented in a structured and controlled manner. Based on the latest information, the Company expects a diesel shipment to reach site in early May. The situation is monitored continuously, and the Company is prepared to rapidly remobilise operations once reliable diesel deliveries are confirmed. The situation does not affect the Company's mineral resources, underground infrastructure or long-term development plans for the Segele mine. The Company has sufficient liquidity to manage the temporary disruption in the short term and continues to maintain a constructive dialogue with key stakeholders. Akobo will provide further updates as appropriate. Anuncio • Apr 11
Akobo Advances Vertical Shaft Development and Prepares for First Export Akobo reported good progress on the vertical shaft. Hard rock has now been reached, and final collar work is being completed to stabilise the headgear infrastructure. Once this work is completed, shaft sinking will continue at a faster pace in hard rock. From this depth onwards, the shaft diameter is reduced, enabling quicker cycle times in drilling, blasting, and mucking operations. There are currently an estimated 75 metres remaining to the bottom of the shaft. Export permission was approved in March by the National Bank of Ethiopia under the current framework, where 50% of export proceeds are retained in USD and 50% are converted to local currency. The Company has received indications that this framework may change to 100% USD retention, similar to the current regime for the export of services in Ethiopia. Akobo is now working on the practical arrangements for its first export, an important operational milestone. Anuncio • Dec 20

Akobo Minerals AB (publ) Provides an Operational Update Covering the Latest Mining and Processing Activities at the Segele Mine in Ethiopia Akobo Minerals AB (publ) provided an operational update covering the latest mining and processing activities at the Segele mine in Ethiopia. Since mid-May, operations have shifted from development mining to production mining. Two separate working areas are extracting high-grade ore in line with the block model. High-grade gold has also been encountered and is being mined in structures outside the current resource model. Processing company have reconfigured processing plant, together with Sutton Global, to run on pure gravity separation, completely chemical-free. This green recovery process significantly reduces environmental footprint and lowers production costs. It also allows to postpone the construction of a new tailings storage facility (TSF), in addition to improving recovery and purity. The new gravity circuit setup was successfully commissioned in May. It is designed to accommodate the future vertical shaft and provides sufficient capacity to defer construction of a new TSF, reducing near-term capital expenditure until sufficient cash flow from the new shaft is able to fund it. This is expected to be happen in early 2026. The plant now combines a cyclone unit and a Falcon concentrator with a shaking table, together forming a solid and well-proven gravity-based technology widely used in the industry. Smelting Smelting is temporarily on hold to optimise recovery and to ensure that the new gravity setup is working as expected. The next smelting will be conducted with metallurgical experts from Sutton Global, who are expected on site in the last week of June. Current gravity concentrate supports a total production estimate of ~10 kg for May-June. Anuncio • May 16

Akobo Minerals AB (Publ) Reports Positive Smelting Result from Latest Batch Akobo Minerals AB (publ) provided an operational update highlighting improved smelting results from a recent production batch and ongoing efforts to access higher-grade zones at the Segele mine. Gold production in March and April yielded a total of 1 kilogram, which fell below expectations. A small smelting conducted on 5 May, covering three days of production, resulted in the recovery of 445 grams of gold. The average grade was approximately 9 grams per tonne (g/t), supported by increased production following recent operational changes and improved access to additional areas in the mine. This outcome marks a clear improvement and represents an encouraging step toward achieving production levels more consistent with the Segele deposit's long-term potential. The Segele deposit is characterised by variability in gold grade due to its nuggety mineralisation. To illustrate this, the image below shows the area currently being mined, with figures and data from the SRK block model: While the overall average grade of all mined material since production began remains high--close to 20 g/t--the short-term predictability of gold output is affected by the inherent variability of the ore body. The Company continues to work with three active headings underground and is focused on increasing daily tonnage through process improvements. A key development in this effort is the planned vertical shaft, which will provide more reliable and consistent access to high-grade sections of the ore body. This is expected to significantly enhance both production stability and overall efficiency. Anuncio • Feb 12
Akobo Minerals AB (Publ) Provides an Operational Update for January 2025 and Details on New Vertical Mine Shaft Akobo Minerals AB (publ) provided an operational update for January 2025 and details on the new vertical mine shaft with a 100-ton-per-day capacity. Increased production ahead: Stoping (mining the ore body) has commenced from the Western Winze, while the Eastern Winze is nearing completion for its prospect drive to start at the new 575 level. Going forward, mainly ore will be mined, marking a shift toward more stable production. It is important to highlight that underground mining in a deposit like Segele, which exhibits a strong nugget effect, naturally results in month-to-month production variations. While short-term fluctuations can occur, long-term production expectations remain unchanged. All-time high gold price: The recent record gold price is expected to positively impact future cash flow from the Segele mine. Due to the compact and highly concentrated nature of the orebody, Akobo Minerals has decided to establish a vertical shaft to improve access and increase underground hoisting capacity. This infrastructure upgrade will significantly accelerate production, aligning it more closely with the processing plant's capacity. Additionally, the vertical shaft will enable activation of the Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) circuit, increasing gold recovery rates from approximately 60% to 93%. Key features of the vertical shaft; Phase 1: Initial shaft depth of 60 meters, with infrastructure capable of extending to 120 meters. Timeline: Expected completion within 12 to 16 weeks from commencement. Design: Approximately 3 meters in diameter, accommodating cages, ventilation, water pumping, and electrical infrastructure. Hoisting system: Double-cage arrangement for personnel and ore transport. Hoisting capacity of approximately 3 tonnes per hoist, with a total capacity of up to 100 tonnes per day, depending on underground ore availability. Electrically powered winder, backed by a dedicated diesel generator with redundancy from the process plant's power system. Manufacturing and installation: Headgear, control, and winch rooms will be manufactured in South Africa and shipped to Segele for assembly and commissioning. The transition to a vertical shaft represents a shift aimed at improving long-term production efficiency. Anuncio • Dec 05

Akobo Minerals AB (Publ) Announces First Gold Bar Produced from the Segele Mine Akobo Minerals AB (publ) announced the successful production of the first gold bar from its Segele Mine. This significant milestone marks the beginning of gold production as the company moves forward with its operational plans. The 1.4 kg gold bar was smelted from approximately 170 tons of lower-grade material collected and processed from development tunnels, located on the edge of the Segele ore body. This initial batch yielded an average grade of 8 grams per ton. While the results are very promising, it is too early to provide a definitive recovery rate or the gold purity grade, as the process is still in its early stages. The company anticipates mining higher-grade ore once stoping activities begin. Importantly, the tailings generated from this initial processing phase will be stored and later reprocessed through Carbon-in-Leach (CIL) tanks once these are fully operational. This additional step will allow to maximize recovery and ensure maximum extraction of gold from mineral resources. Next, company will continue blasting and stockpiling material from the Segele mine, followed by further production batches. As production progresses, The company expects both an increase in the gold content from the mine and improved recovery rates from the processing plant. This achievement brings closer to company's goal of establishing Akobo Minerals as a leading gold producer in the region. New Risk • Sep 27

Akobo Minerals AB Reports Good Progress in the Segele Mine Development Akobo Minerals AB announced significant progress in the development of the Segele mine. The completion of the crosscut between the Western and Eastern tunnels marks a major milestone, paving the way for the commencement of first stoping activities into the richest part of the Segele ore body. In the recent development phase, the mining team successfully reached the orebody in both the Western and Eastern tunnels. The completion of the crosscut is a crucial achievement, as it connects the two tunnels and enhances several aspects of the mining operation. This crosscut not only provides a secondary exit, thereby improving safety, but also optimizes ventilation and logistics, laying the groundwork for the transition from mine development to focusing on stoping. Stoping is a critical process in underground mining, involving the extraction of ore from a series of large inclined openings, known as stopes, which are created in the orebody. Essentially, stoping creates voids or spaces where the ore has been removed. The strategic positioning of the crosscut between the Trial Stope and Stope 01 provides the company with the flexibility to investigate both stopes in parallel rather than in sequence. This parallel approach allows for the possibility of prioritizing Stope 01, which is located in the richest part of the ore body. Anuncio • Sep 02
Akobo Minerals AB Provides Operational Update from the Segele Mine Akobo Minerals AB provided an operational update from its Segele mining activities, reporting that the company has reached several critical milestones. Daily ore production has commenced at the Segele mine. Since intersecting the ore body in the second tunnel two weeks ago, Akobo Minerals has been consistently producing and stockpiling ore. Currently, the company is in the early phases of ore extraction, advancing toward areas expected to contain high-grade material. Early results are promising, with substantial visible gold observed. The processing plant at Segele has successfully been commissioned and is currently in the ramp-up phase. Although commissioning typically takes several months, Akobo Minerals has expedited the process, achieving significant progress within a short timeframe. Feedback from experts and consultants indicates that the plant is in excellent condition. The focus is now on fine-tuning the processes to maximize gold recovery and minimize losses. The first batch of very low-grade ore has been successfully processed through the entire plant, from crushing to smelting. While the gold yield was low, as anticipated, this marks a significant milestone, demonstrating the plant's operational efficiency. Looking ahead to September, Akobo Minerals expects to continue and expand ore production from the mine and run the processing plant in batches to secure maximum gold recovery. The gold will then be further processed at their partner MKS PAMP's refinery in Switzerland and then sold in the gold spot market. Akobo Minerals remains optimistic about the future of the Segele mine and is well-positioned to scale up production in the coming months. With the end of the rainy season, they anticipate more stable and efficient working conditions, which will further enhance their operations. Anuncio • Aug 02

Akobo Minerals Reports Successful Commissioning of Segele Gold Processing Plant Akobo Minerals announced that the Segele processing plant is now operational. This milestone represents a significant advancement for the company's operations in Ethiopia. The commissioning process has successfully activated the majority of the Segele plant, allowing Akobo Minerals to process a substantial amount of ore efficiently and safely. Last week, the first phase of commissioning was completed, with Gekko Systems and Solo Resources overseeing the setup of the milling, grinding, Falcon concentrator, InLine Leach Reactor, and furnace in the gold room. The final phase, the activation of the InLine Leach Reactor (ILR), was completed by Gekko Systems. The company anticipates an extraction efficiency of 76% from the concentrator and ILR system. Akobo Minerals appreciates the strong support and interest from the Ethiopian Government in the Segele project. The company recently hosted a delegation, including Deputy Prime Minister Temesgen Tiruneh, Minister of Mines Habtamu Tegegne, and Gambella President Omod Ojulu, who were on-site to oversee the first run of operations. In line with a phased approach to optimize both operational efficiency and cost -effectiveness, the commissioning of the CIL (Carbon in Leach) system will be deferred until production volumes are increased. This strategy ensures that the plant operates in a cost-effective manner while allowing the team time to familiarize themselves with the initial phase of the plant. Tailing from the current ore will be stored and reprocessed once the CIL tanks are operational. The plant is designed with the capability to produce 4,000 ounces of gold per month, with an expected recovery rate of 96%. Additionally, its modular design allows for future upgrades as the Segele mine and adjacent targets are developed, ensuring the plant remains adaptable to evolving operational needs. Currently, the company is blasting and mining ore from the Western winze and expects to process low-grade ore through the plant in the coming weeks. New Risk • Mar 10
