100km

Kouassi-Datekro North and Centre

Djinni Target

  • Drilling confirms mineralization over 500m strike

  • 4 new DDH confirm extension of mineralization to 120mv

  • DJDH001 21m @ 3.04g/t from 171m

  • DJDH004, 13.4m @ 3.04g/t from 194.8m

    Badénou Corridor

  • Additional RC drilling planned in Q4 to extend strike SW

  • 80% of the AC drilling completed over the 15km Badénou Corridor

    Mercator

  • Wide zone of alteration intersected.

    • Drilling extends mineralization to 820m strike and down to 184mv.

    • NEDH009, 25.6m @ 1.15g/t from 173.9m

  • Potential of Djinni could be extended to 1.8 km: DJAC018 18m @ 2.25g/t from 3m.

    • NEDH006, 59m @ 1.1g/t from 180m

  • Mineralization and alteration intersected in the gap between Djinni and Mercator

    • Further oxide drilling underway to extend near-surface coverage.

  • BBAC055 15m @ 2.21g/t from 24m.

Trenching to follow up

Fonondara

Strong RC results defined HG over 150m in main zone

A narrow high grade (+5g/t) structure defined to the south over 700m

Step out and infill RC on both targets

AC to test gaps and along strike extensions

Extensive orpaillage with multiple structures

Katiali South Target

45km covered with 50m spacing VTEM

Possible continuity of the mineralised systems at Fonondara Integration with all new geochemistry, geological datasets to generate and prioritise targets

Untested +4km soil anomaliesIntersection of Boundiali and Senoufo belt structures

First pits returned +6g/tAC to test target

AC drilling planned to optimally test targets after the rainy season

Sani

High grade in the south: 6m @ 15.72g/t

First trench 4.2m @ 3.5g/t (open E)AC designed to optimally test target

Katiere

Several anomalies in trench and pits

AC to test target

N

Large deep seated intrusive with tourmaline alteration

Koban Targets

Interesting lithological setting Structural complexity with foldings on its margins

New trench results with continuous low grade mineralised bedrock over 500m (open) with 50m wide alteration system with mineralised intrusives

Gbongogo Targets

New pit optimisation ongoing

RC drilling planned across veins for grade representativity

New soil sampling and multielements to better constrain the anomaly,Ground IP survey completed to trace structures and lithological contacts

RC drilling comfirmed low grade potential at Gbongogo south

A new target next to Gbongogo with RC results: 10m @ 1.84g/t incl. 5m @ 3.42g/t. Follow up RC planned

Yeretiele

Untested soil anomaly on extension of Fonondara structure

Infill soil to delineate target

Lokolo Target

Mapping and rock sampling

Intrusion pressure shadow and belt margin9km untested soil anomaly with ancient workings

Koban north

Mineralised intrusive

Encouraging trench results: 88m @ 0.68g/t incl 14m @ 1.03g/t, 1.7m @ 7.83g/t and 15.5m @ 1.65g/t300m target defined (open)

Koban main50m wide alteration system

New trench results with continuous low grade mineralised bedrock over 500m

(open)

32.20m @ 0.51g/t incl 2m @ 2.09g/t, 2.10m @ 1.58g/t and 5m @ 1.20g/t

New soil results and IP data pending

Strong alteration and deformation defining a +10km priority corridor VTEM completed with significant outcomes

Infill soil completed for multi-element to find intrusives IP survey ongoing over the whole corridor

Illegal mining sites on Boundiali permit become a high security risk…

A value destructive challenge for investors and government

Orpailleurs continued to invade Fonondara Main

Risks of destroying Fonondara Main environment and mining the orebodyOrpailleurs continue to threatened Randgold exploration team and have delayed drilling at Fonondara

High security risk after orpailleurs killed captain of Gendarmerie on Boundiali permit

Good collaboration with local gendarmes to remove artisanal miners

Tongon ensures good health and promotes wellbeing…

Health and Safety Environment

LTIFR of 0.00 - Zero LTIs recorded

Zero Class 1 & 2 environmental incidents

Tongon certified ISO 14001v2015 and OHSAS 18001 working with certified company, Lynx Logistics, for cyanide transport

Water management is effective at Tongon with no uncontrolled discharge

Training of Health and Safety committee members by the consultancy GERASUR and scaffolding compliance inspectors by APAVE Cote d'ivoire

Water monitoring programme reinforced at the storm water dam, Fresh, Lake Victoria and pits dewatering.

Tongon in partnership programme with the IDEAL NGO continues to effectively manage public health (Malaria and HIV / AIDS) through prevention programmes on the mine and in surrounding community

Water management system in place with prioritised reuse of process water - no fresh water pumped to plant

Malaria incident rate continues to decrease year on year

All environmental risks noted during the strike immediately fixed after resumption of work - TSF dam wall erosion, flooding of pits
