Auriant Mining AB (publ.) publishes H1 2024 operational update

Highlights:

• In H1 2024, hard rock gold production amounted to 193.8 kg (6,231 oz), compared to 316.7 kg (10,181 oz) in H1 2023, a decrease of 39%, or 122.8 kg (3,949 oz);
• Alluvial gold production amounted to 24.6 kg (791 oz) compared to 2.9 kg (92 oz) an increase of 755%, or 21.7 kg (698 oz). The increase was mainly caused by adding a contractor for the area to which we were given access to at the end of last year.
• In H1 2024, total gold sales were 274.5 kg (8,825 oz), compared to 282.8 kg (9,091 oz) in H1 2023, a decrease of 8.3 kg (267 oz), or 3%;
• 203,7 thousand tonnes of ore with an average grade of 1.06 g/t were processed through the CIL plant;
• 64,1 thousand tonnes of ore were mined in H1 2024, compared to 66,6 thousand tonnes in H1 2023, a decrease of 2,5 thousand tonnes or 4%. Stripping volume amounted to 1,549,300 m3 (487,5 km3, or 46% more than in H1 2023);

Overall, H1 2024 production was in line with the Company's production plan.

Others:

• Current mining operations at Tardan continue to be cash positive;
• Bank loans have been virtually repaid now so interest expense is very low;
• The company is unable to pay the Golden Impala interest due to Russian currency restrictions so interest is rolling up and increasing the loan. Obviously, this does adversely affect the Balance sheet but is a non-cash expense;
• The Company opened a branch in Dubai, UAE in May 2024. The branch holds a trade license for Geophysical & Geological Studies & Services.
