Griffin Mining Limited Commences Gold Production In Zone III Of Yuan Long Orebody At Caijiaying Mine Griffin Mining Limited announced that gold production has successfully commenced in Zone III of the Yuan Long orebody at the Caijiaying Mine, marking the transition into sustained gold production from gold only stopes. Initial stopes are contributing approximately 5-10% of total daily Caijiaying Mine production, establishing gold as a recurring feed source to the processing plant. The YL orebody remains open to the south and at depth, with further diamond drilling and underground development planned to expand the production footprint. Ongoing drilling continues to materially expand the contained gold of the YL system whilst also defining a new, high grade, Fu Long feeder system, which the Company believes could potentially provide multiple avenues for near term growth and longer-term resource expansion. Drilling within the YL orebody continues to return high grade gold intercepts, at mineable widths, confirming strong continuity along strike and down plunge and supporting ongoing stope development and resource growth. Selected significant true width intercepts include: UGCJY 6485: 6.0 m @ 31.5 g/t Au (including 0.6m @ 312g/t), UGCJY 6488: 11.9 m @ 5.3 g/t Au (including 0.6m @ 92 g/t), UGCJY 6202: 6.9 m @ 4.7 g/t Au (including 2.5m @ 11.8 g/t). These results demonstrate the robust grade, thickness and continuity of the YL gold system. Drilling within the Fu Long orebody has confirmed the presence of a distinct, high grade, feeder system which is interpreted to contribute to the broader YL-FL mineralised corridor. Selected true width intercepts include: UGCJY 6047: 5.9 m @ 71.2 g/t Au (including 0.8m @ 479.8 g/t, 4.7m @ 2.2 g/t, 13.0m @ 1.0 g/t), UGCJY 6508: 9.2 m @ 1.4 g/t Au (including 3.7 m @ 16.1 g/t, 1.0 m @ 53.5 g/t, 11.4m @ 3.6 g/t, 0.9 m @ 34.4 g/t, 4.3m @4.3 g/t), UGCJY-5961: 12.2m @ 8.3 g/t Au (including 5.3m @ 16 g/t), UGCJY 6045: 6.8 m @ 5.9 g/t Au (including 0.5m @ 63.6 g/t), UCCJY-6048: 13.9m @ 5.8g/t Au (including 2.0 m @ 30.1 g/t, 10.5 m @ 3.7 g/t), UGCJY 6063: 7.9 m @ 5.1 g/t Au, UGCJY-6050: 15.7m @ 4.6 g/t Au (including 15.7m @ 34.6 g/t, 2.6 m @ 23.2 g/t), UGCJY-6057: 29.0m @ 4.0 g/t Au (including 5.1m @ 9.2 g/t), UGCJY-6046: 18.4m @ 3.3g/t Au. The identification of this feeder system introduces additional high grade gold growth and enhances long term production flexibility at the Caijiaying Mine. Annuncio • Jan 19
Griffin Mining Limited Announces Renewal of Caijiaying Mining Licence to 2054 Griffin Mining Limited announced that it has successfully renewed its mining licence over the Caijiaying Mine through to the 28th August 2054. The term of 26 years is based upon the mine resources with the previous licence term being 16 years based upon earlier mineral resource estimates. This is a landmark achievement for the Company and guarantees it's long term mineral rights, it's production envelopes in Zones II and III, it's previously approved mining area and it's vertical mining boundary over the total Caijiaying Mine area. In addition, the mining licence renewal confirms the continuing successful development of the Caijiaying Mine and the Company's continuing ability to achieve key regulatory milestones in the Chinese regulatory environment. The extended tenure until 2054 secures the long-term future of the asset and allows for the continued systematic extraction of the resource. Annuncio • Dec 05

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 9.9% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Board Change • Jun 01

Griffin Mining Limited Announces Drilling of High-Grade Gold Domines Under the Existing Development At the Caijiaying Mine During 2024-25 Continues to Deliver Exceptional Gold Intercepts Griffin Mining Limited announced that drilling of high-grade gold domains below the existing development at the Caijiaying Mine during 2024-25 continues to deliver exceptional gold intercepts. The Caijiaying global Mineral Resource currently (December 2023 MRe update) stands at: Source: Griffin Mining Limited Annual Report & Accounts 2023 Notes: The Caijiaying Mineral Resources are based on resource modelling work completed by ERM Australia Consultants Pty Limited (previously CSA Global) and reported in 2023 in accordance with JORC 2012 guidelines. The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resources is based on, and fairly reflects, information compiled by Dr. Maxim Seredkin a Competent Person, who is a Fellow of The Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists. Dr. Maxim Seredkin has sufficient experience relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as Competent Person as defined in the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code). RC drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 50 g charge for fire assay and a 20 g charge for base metal assay. Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). Drilling was completed using a face sampling hammer or NQ2/BQ size diamond core. All holes were surveyed upon completion of drilling using single/multi-shot electronic or mechanical survey cameras. The logging information was recorded into Microsoft (MS) Excel format on paper and then transferred into the company's drilling database once the log was complete. Cut lines are marked on diamond drill core to ensure that the core to minimise bias when cutting. All results from assay standards and duplicates were scrutinised to ensure they fell within acceptable tolerances. The DBA imports the data into a GeoBank (MS SQL) database, with assay results merged into the database upon receipt from the laboratory. Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Surface RC drill collars were surveyed after completion, using a differential global positioning system (GPS) instrument. Refer to December 2023 Mineral Resource estimation report. Resource extension drilling is designed to produce data density suitable for future Mineral Resource estimation updates. This is not considered to be a material factor because of the style of mineralisation and the use of underground drill fans to intersect the mineralisation at various angles. The Zone II Mining Licence has been granted See Company Announcement "Issue of New Mining Licence" dated 4th January 2021.uan Long is one of at least five interpreted high grade gold domains at Caijiaying, and is the only gold zone that currently has significant new drilling beneath the existing Mineral Resource. Following the recent dramatic increase in gold price and thus the potential in-ground value of high-grade gold domains at Caijiays, additional resource extension drilling has been designed to better define these structurally controlled gold-rich shoots with the aim to increase gold-rich mining inventory. This announcement aims to demonstrate the nature and continuity of one of the high-grade gold domains atCaijiaying for which there is material new drilling data. More than 63,200m of underground diamond drilling have been completed across the mine since January 2024, with a total of approximately 746,200m of underground diamond drill drilling since mining commenced.
