Goldsource Mines Inc. Provides Update on Upcoming Preliminary Economic Assessment Goldsource Mines Inc. provided an update on the planned Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Company's 100%-owned Eagle Mountain Gold Project ("Project") in Guyana, South America. The PEA, being prepared by ERM Consultants Canada Ltd. and Soutex Inc., considers a fit-for-purpose low-capex intensity phased development plan. The initial phase, or Phase 1, comprises shallow (starting at surface), low strip ratio open pits for saprolite resources and a processing plant design that accounts for the beneficial characteristics of saprolite, including low power requirements and elevated metallurgical recoveries. This is followed by Phase 2, the development of fresh rock mineralization, in which gold production is derived from a blend of fresh rock and saprolite. The transition to fresh rock, both the timing and production scale, has been set to maximize the utility of the in-place infrastructure and potential free cash flow provided in Phase 1. The Company anticipates receiving the PEA results for release in January 2024 with a NI 43-101 Technical Report to be filed within 45 days of the results announcement. This represents a modest delay relative to the Company's guidance of the fourth quarter 2023. The Company will be participating in several industry conferences in the first quarter of 2024, including the Vancouver Resource Investment Conference (January 21-22), Mines and Money - Miami (Feb 22-23), and PDAC Toronto (March 3-6). The PEA will be based on the April 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") comprised of an estimated 31.1 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 1.18 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold for 1,183,000 oz of gold in Indicated Resources, and 18.4 Mt grading 0.98 gpt gold for 582,000 oz of gold in Inferred Resources. The 2022 MRE is contained in a report titled "Eagle Mountain Gold Project, Potaro - Siparuni Region Guyana, NI 43-101 Technical Report" dated May 24, 2022, with an Effective Date of April 5, 2022. The Company's Eagle Mountain Project, like all major gold projects in Guyana, falls within this Essequibo area, the sovereign territory of Guyana. The Company's activities at Eagle Mountain, including exploration, technical and environmental studies, along with ongoing coordination with governmental agencies, which included meetings last week when Company executives were in Guyana, remain unaffected by recent events, though the Company will continue to monitor the situation very closely. The Company has operated in Guyana at the Eagle Mountain Project for over 10 years and intends to be in Guyana for many more years in its commitment to the responsible and sustainable management of the Project and its natural resources in Guyana's Region 8, Potaro-Siparuni.

New major risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$10m. Market cap: €9.33m (US$9.97m) This is considered a major risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on free cash flow trend (-CA$4.5m free cash flow). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (18% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 11% per year over the past 5 years. Revenue is less than US$1m. Market cap is less than US$10m (€9.33m market cap, or US$9.97m). Minor Risk Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (14% increase in shares outstanding). Tillkännagivande • Sep 12
Goldsource Mines Inc. Provides Update on Engineering and Exploration Activities for Eagle Mountain Goldsource Mines Inc. provided an update on its engineering and exploration activities for the Company's 100%-owned Eagle Mountain Gold Project ("Project") in Guyana, South America. The 2023 work program includes engineering activities focused on the delivery of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") as well as generative exploration and drilling activities to test new targets within the Eagle Mountain Prospecting License ("PL") and expansion and infill drilling to facilitate engineering studies. Overall, the PEA and related engineering activities are progressing well with the announcement of results anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2023. The PEA will be based on the April 2022 Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") comprised of an estimated 31.1 million tonnes ("Mt") grading 1.18 grams per tonne ("gpt") gold for 1,183,000 oz of gold in Indicated Resources, and 18.4 Mt grading 0.98 gpt gold for 582,000 oz of gold in Inferred Resources. The 2022 MRE is contained in a report titled "Eagle Mountain Gold Project, Potaro - Siparuni Region Guyana, NI 43-101 Technical Report" dated May 24, 2022, with an Effective Date of April 5, 2022. Engineering Activity. Generative Exploration Highlights: Per plan in H1 2023, the Company expanded its generative exploration program focusing on adding to the pipeline of exploration targets within the PL and district properties outside the PL for which the Company has exploration agreements. In collaboration with independent geological consultants, the Company completed a multi-month review of all geological data with site visits to enhance exploration models for prospects. New concepts will be tested through the balance of 2023 with generative techniques and core drilling. Soca Prospect and South Ann Prospect Drilling Highlights: Notwithstanding a reduction in drill metres prior to July 2023, several prospects were targeted within the PL. Results for thirteen (13) core holes totaling 1,652.5 metres for the Soca and South Ann prospects located approximately 1.5 and 1.1 kilometres, respectively, south of the 2022 MRE outline for the Eagle Mountain deposit along the Salbora-Powis north-south trend. Drilling has intersected mineralization along an aggregate strike length of approximately 275 metres, down to 170 metres depth, with high-grade gold intervals as well as broader areas of lower grade mineralization. Recent drilling has extended the prospect by 100 metres to the east with the identification of two additional mineralized zones represented by four drill holes EMD23-281 to EMD23-284. Drilling at South Ann targeted an interpreted contact between a quartz-feldspar porphyry intrusion and granodiorite. Four drill holes (EME22-175 to EME22-177 and EME22-183) intersected gold mineralization, which has an aggregate strike length of 175 metres with several mineralized intervals. Importantly, advancements confirm the current mineral resource model while also providing key information with respect to the geological genesis, which will enhance exploration targeting, notably in underexplored areas of the PL. EMEdefines core holes completed by contractor drill rig. True widths are estimated on mineralization orientation to drill core. Saprolite and hard rock cut-off grades of 0.3 and 0.5 gpt gold, respectively.

Goldsource Mines Inc. Reports Positive Results for Eagle Mountain Metallurgical Test Program and 2023 Work Plans Goldsource Mines Inc. announced positive results from the 2022 metallurgical test program, and the 2023 work plans for the Company's 100%-owned Eagle Mountain Gold Project (Project) in Guyana, South America. Summary of 2023 Work Plans: With respect to the 2023 work programs for exploration and engineering, these activities will advance concurrently. Exploration will test new target areas within the Eagle Mountain Prospecting License (EMPL), such as the recently discovered higher-grade North Zion prospect and include expansion and infill drilling of the current mineral resource areas to facilitate ongoing engineering studies. Across many of the engineering disciplines, activities proceeded slower than anticipated in 2022. Thus, 2023 works plans call for the delivery of a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) while the Company advances the technical work for the delivery of a Prefeasibility Study (PFS). The PEA will focus on shallow, low strip ratio open pits with priority given to saprolite mineralization to establish initial low capex-intensity gold production. For fresh rock, trade-off studies are currently underway to evaluate options for the development timeline and the production scale with a focus on staging the development capex and maximizing the utility of the in-place infrastructure provided by a saprolite operation. 2022 Metallurgical Test Program: The metallurgical test program was conducted by SGS Canada Inc. and comprised 26 samples (9 saprolite and 17 fresh rock) for 750 kilograms collected from diamond drill core for the areas represented in the 2022 mineral resource estimate (2022 MRE) for the Eagle Mountain Gold Project. The Project includes the Eagle Mountain deposit, Salbora deposit, and Toucan prospect. The program was designed to profile the mineral resource areas for metallurgical characteristics, including gold recovery, reagent consumption and grindability, with the information to be used to guide plant design work. This program follows saprolite test work completed by SGS Canada in 2018, which included gold recovery tests for 22 saprolite samples from the Eagle Mountain deposit. Gold (Au) head assays were determined by the screened metallics method for the fresh rock samples and by size fraction analysis for the saprolite samples. For the saprolite samples gold grades ranged from 0.55 grams per tonne (gpt) to 2.47 gpt gold and 0.35 gpt to 3.64 gpt gold for the fresh rock. All saprolite and fresh rock samples were submitted for grindability testwork, including Bond ball mill work index and abrasion index tests to be used for plant design work (equipment selection and sizing). Four (4) saprolite and five (5) fresh rock composites were prepared for gold recovery and grind size optimization testwork. Standard cyanide bottle roll tests were completed on gravity tailings for the saprolite and fresh rock composites. For the saprolite composites tests were also completed on whole ore (no gravity concentration) to enable a coarse feed size in the bottle roll tests. For all saprolite composites, the testwork returned high gold recoveries, including with a coarse grind size of 80% passing 166 microns. Cyanide consumptions were low and lime consumption moderate to high, as is common with saprolite deposits. The total gold recoveries and reagent consumption for the five fresh rock composites. Fresh rock gold recoveries were also high averaging 92% for the main Eagle Mountain deposit at a p80 of approximately 80 microns. At a similar grind size, the gold recoveries for the Salbora deposit and Toucan prospect averaged 85%. Higher recoveries were generated with finer grinding. Cyanide and lime consumptions were low to moderate for all fresh rock composites. The exploration plan for 2023 will be two pronged and include generative and drilling activities. The generative program will focus on building the pipeline of early-stage exploration targets within the EMPL and include work in underexplored areas of the prospecting license. This will include follow-up augering, trenching and potentially drilling in the North Zion prospect area, where Trench NZTR22-005 identified two intervals of high-grade mineralization with 40.0 metres grading 5.16 gpt gold and 14.0 metres grading 1.25 gpt gold. Drilling activities with the Company-owned diamond drill rig will be split between exploration drilling in target areas along the north-south Salbora-Powis Trend and infill/expansion drilling proximal to the 2022 MRE outline testing saprolite and higher-grade fresh rock targets to support ongoing engineering work, including pit scheduling studies.
