In June 2015, Perseus’ Supplementary Environmental Impact Statement was approved which was required for mining the Fetish, Chirawewa, Bokitsi (collectively referred to as the “Eastern Pits”) and Esuajah North gold deposits. An upgrade to the mill and relocation of housing was successfully completed by the end of 2016. The Esuajah South deposit was subsequently included in Edikan’s production profile and an updated life of mine plan based on revised reserves reported in February 2020 was prepared. Gold production was forecast to average Rest of World Exploration potential to further extend current mine life 212,000 ounces per annum over Edikan’s estimated mine life of 6.2 years from July 1, 2020, including gold production of approximately 231,000 ounces per annum on average over the first 4 years. 2021 production at Edikan was 150,330 ounces of gold compared with 158,090 ounces of gold in 2020. In February 2022, Perseus announced that production in Perseus’ 2022 fiscal year, based on December 2021 half year guidance, is expected to be between 142,284 to 157,284 gold ounces. Exploration opportunities are expected to further extend the current mine life at Edikan while focusing on new exploration targets within trucking distance. Perseus has recorded encouraging drilling results at the Nkosuo prospect 7 km from the Edikan mine (not covered by Franco-Nevada’s royalty) and expects to complete a maiden resource estimate for Nkosuo early in the June 2022 quarter. The Nkosuo discovery has the potential to extend Edikan’s mine life beyond 2026-2027, allowing for future near-mine discoveries which could potentially fall on royalty ground. Edikan, Ghana
