New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 3.6% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 3.6% per year over the past 5 years.

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 2,497% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses.

Dragon Mining Limited Final Results Receives for the Kujankallio Drilling Campaign At Jokisivu Dragon Mining Limited have been received for the underground diamond core drilling campaign undertaken in the Kujankallio area at the Jokisivu Gold Mine("Jokisivu") in southern Finland. Intercepts generated from the final 13 holes include highlights 2.50 metres @ 17.28 g/t gold and 7.10 metres @3.75 g/t gold, which support earlier released highlight intercepts from this campaign of 4.25 metres @ 13.47 g/t gold, 1.60 metres @ 26.91 g/t gold and 6.00 metres @ 8.86 g/t gold. These results align well with expectations, better defining the extent and geometry of the depth extensions of the Kujankallio lode system below current development levels, providing information to support future mine planning and development in this area. The Jokisivu Gold Mine is situated north-east of the Finnish capital, Helsinki, some 40 kilometres southwest of the Company's Vammala Plant in southern Finland. It forms part of Dragon Mining's wholly owned Vammala Production Centre, which comprises the Vammala Plant, a 300,000 tonnes per annum conventional crushing, milling and flotation facility, the operational Jokisivu Gold Mine, the Kaapelinkulma Gold Mine where open pit mining ceased in April 2021, the Orivesi Gold Mine where mining ceased in June 2019 and the Uunimäki Gold Project. The Jokisivu deposit represents a structurally controlled orogenic gold system located in the Palaeoproterozoic Vammala Migmatite Belt. It comprises two principal sets of parallel lodes of varying thickness and grade 200-metres apart, Kujankallio and Arpola, each of which is hosted in shear zones striking west-northwest within a quartz diorite unit. The shear zones are characterised by laminating, pinching, and swelling quartz veins and a well-developed, moderately plunging lineation. Gold mineralisation is contained within the quartz veins and shear zones within the barren host rocks. Gold mineralisation in the Kujankallio area has been shown by drilling to extend over a 710 metre vertical extent from surface, whilst gold mineralisation in the Arpola area extends over a 410 metre vertical extent from surface. The Jokisivu deposit remains open with depth and partially along strike. Open-pit mining at Jokisivu commenced in 2009 and underground production in 2011. By the end of 2023 underground development at Jokisivu has extended down to the 645m level, with approximately 3.0 million tonnes grading 2.8 g/t gold being mined from the open-pit and underground operations.

The deposit remains open with depth and partially along strike. Open-pit mining in the Kujankallio area commenced in 2009 and underground production in 2011. A small open-pit was mined in the Arpola area in 2011 and underground production commenced from this area in 2014. Underground development has now extended at Jokisivu down to the 645m level, with approximately 2.8 million tonnes grading 2.9 g/t gold being mined from the open-pit and underground operations by the end of June 2023.

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Hong Kong stocks, typically moving 11% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change).

Dragon Mining Limited Announces Update on Exploration Activities in Southern Finland Dragon Mining Limited has received the results for the final two diamond core drilling campaigns that were completed in 2021 at the Jokisivu Gold Mine ("Jokisivu") in southern Finland. Results were received for a 7 hole, 1,185.00 metre campaign that was directed at the Kujankallio Main Zone from the 560m level ("Campaign 5") and a 9 hole, 2,151.80 metre campaign that targeted the Arpola area between the 300m and 350m levels from drill stations located on the 350m level ("Campaign 6"). Results for the earlier campaigns of drilling completed at Jokisivu during 2021 were reported to the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HKEX") on the 29 June 2021 Drilling Returns Encouraging Intercepts from the Company's Key Nordic Projects and 24 August 2021 High Grade Intercepts Returned from Drilling at Jokisivu. Campaigns 5 and 6 have generated a series of results that align well with Company expectations, identifying and better defining the extent and geometry of depth extensions to the known gold mineralisation at Jokisivu. Drilling of the reported campaigns was carried out by local contractor Taratest Oy using an Epiroc U6 Smart drill rig running a BQTK system to generate a 40.7mm diameter core. Following core logging, full core samples of select zones were analysed at the certified international laboratory group ALS, with sample preparation carried out at their Outokumpu facility in eastern Finland. Analysis for gold was undertaken at the ALS facility at Rosia Montana in Romania using method Au-AA25 30g fire assay with AAS finish. Samples yielding a gold value exceeding 5 g/t gold were re-assayed by Au-GRA21 30g fire assay with gravimetric finish. Drilling is now continuing at Jokisivu with results pending for a 5 hole, 975.00 metre campaign that targeted the Arpola area between the 400m and 450m levels from the 350m level. On completion of this campaign, the drill rig moved to the 205m level where it is undertaking a 30 hole, 5,500 metre campaign that is targeting the Osmo Zone in the Arpola area between the 250m and 300m levels, the Arpola Footwall Zones between the 250m and 300m levels, and the Arpola Flying Squirrel Zone between the 230m and 300m levels. Uunimäki Gold Project: Dragon Mining was advised by the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency ("Tukes") that the Uunimäki Exploration Licence was granted on the 11 January 2022. This decision by Tukes has subsequently been appealed to the Administrative Court in Finland, delaying the start-up of field exploration activities in this area. The Uunimäki Gold Project (" Uunimäki ") is an advanced gold exploration opportunity located to the south-southeast of Jokisivu. The project area has previously been subjected to diamond core drilling and other exploratory activities including ground geophysical surveys and geochemical till surveys by the Geological Survey of Finland (the "GTK") identifying a zone of gold mineralisation within a sheared metamorphosed gabbro over a 350 metre strike length.

Dragon Mining Limited Provides Earnings Guidance for the First Four Months of 2021 Dragon Mining Limited provided earnings guidance for the first four months of 2021. The board of directors of the company inform the shareholders of the company and potential investors that, preliminary unaudited management accounts indicate that the company has made a small overall net loss in the amount of approximately AUD 820,000 for the first four months of 2021 compared with a modest profit of AUD 4.408 million for the corresponding four months of 2020. The expected result for the Reporting Period is primarily due to: a decrease in the quantity of gold concentrate produced at the Vammala Production center due to throughput restraints of the crushing and milling circuit and lower mined ore grades; the Corresponding Period includes gold produced from the remaining Orivesi high-grade ore stockpiles; and Fäboliden test mining completed. However, the final environmental permit for the mine has not yet been granted and Svartliden is only treating Finland concentrate. Reported Earnings • Mar 18
