Amigo Resources PLC

("Amigo" or the "Company")

 

 

Operational Update - Licence Grant and Commencement of Activities Kabete Gold
Project, Tanzania

 

 

Amigo Resources PLC (LSE: AMGO) the London-listed mining development company
focused on Africa, is pleased to provide an operational update on the Kabete
Gold Project in Tanzania (the "Project"), in which the Group holds a 51%
interest, further to its previously announced on 26 March 2026.

 

Licence Status

The Company confirms that the mineral licences comprising the Kabete Gold
Project have now been formally granted and released by the Government of
Tanzania, enabling the commencement of on-ground operational and exploration
activities.

 

Commencement of Field Operations

Following receipt of the licences, Amigo has mobilised its technical,
operational and mining geological teams to site and has commenced systematic
verification and validation of historical exploration data across priority
targets, in order to bring them into production.

 

Historical Geological Work Summary

Past data indicates that previous exploration programmes have established a
strong technical foundation for the Project, including:

 

Geological Mapping & Geochemistry

Extensive geological mapping and a multi-phase soil sampling programme
(~3,800+ samples) identified structurally controlled gold anomalism across
multiple corridors.

 

Geophysical Surveys

Airborne magnetics and radiometrics, supported by ground-based Induced
Polarisation (IP) and resistivity surveys, defined subsurface structures and
continuity of mineralised zones, subsequently validated through trenching and
channel sampling.

 

Drilling Programme

A total of 167 drill holes (~21,400 metres; RC and diamond drilling) confirmed
gold mineralisation at depth, including:

•    High-grade intersections: e.g., 16 metres @ 6.4 g/t Au

•    Bulk-tonnage intervals: e.g., 23 metres @ ~2.3 g/t Au

 

Mineralisation Style

Interpretation indicates a combination of free gold and sulphide-associated
gold (pyrite, arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, with graphite association), occurring
as high-grade shoots within kilometre-scale mineralised envelopes which remain
open at depth.

 

Additional Mineral Indicators (Preliminary)

Select historical analyses indicate the presence of PGM signatures and
rubidium occurrences within certain zones of the concession. These remain
early-stage indications and will be subject to further validation and
confirmatory analysis.

 

Application of Advanced Exploration Techniques

As part of its rapid verification and targeting strategy, the Group is
deploying a hybrid exploration approach combining conventional and advanced
methodologies, including:

•    Passive seismic and micro-seismic data acquisition;

•    Integrated modelling of geological, geophysical and geochemical
datasets; and

•    AI-assisted, data-driven targeting for structural interpretation and
drill prioritisation.

These techniques are intended to enhance past data verification, targeting
efficiency and accelerating the delineation of mineralised zones.

 

Processing Plant Initiative

In parallel with exploration, the Group is advancing plans for a scale
processing facility aimed at:

•    Processing tailings and historically mined material;

•    Supporting metallurgical test work and process optimisation; and

•    Generating early-stage production data.

The plant will incorporate a proprietary gravity-based concentration module
designed to enhance recovery of fine and ultra-fine mineral fractions. This
forms part of the Group's patent-pending technology programme under PCT
Application No. PCT/IB2026/052808, developed by members of the Group's
management team.

 

Next Steps

The Group's near-term objectives include:

•    Completion of ground validation of historical datasets;

•    Advancement toward a JORC-compliant exploration framework;

•    Expansion of target definition and drill planning;

•    Initiation of bulk sampling and metallurgical test work;

•    Development of processing capabilities; and

•    Bringing the Project into production rapidly.

 

CEO Comment

Anil Reddy, Chief Executive Officer - Mining Operations Africa, commented:

"The formal grant of licences and mobilisation of our team to site marks a
significant operational milestone for Amigo. Kabete represents a technically
compelling gold system within a well-established mineralised belt, and we are
now focused on systematically advancing exploration activities on the ground.

Our approach combines established geological methods with the selective
application of advanced data integration techniques, enabling us to rapidly
refine targets and progress toward potential resource definition."

 

Chairman Comment

Craig Ransley, Chairman of Amigo Resources plc, commented:

"The transition to active operations at Kabete reflects the Company's
disciplined and structured approach to project development. Securing licence
tenure and initiating field activities are key steps in building long-term
value.

The Board remains committed to maintaining high standards of governance,
technical integrity and regulatory compliance as the Project advances."

 

Outlook

The commencement of field operations represents a key milestone in the
development of the Kabete Gold Project. With licences secured and technical
work underway, the Group is positioned to progress towards production.
