Cora Gold Limited
('Cora' or 'the Company')
+1 Million Ounce Mineral Resource Estimate Delineated at Sanankoro Gold
Project
Cora Gold Limited, the West African focused gold company, is pleased to
announce an updated Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE') at its flagship
Sanankoro Gold Project ('Sanankoro' or 'the Project') in southern Mali. This
follows the addition of 2,669m of drilling (50 Reverse Circulation ('RC')
drillholes) to the Sanankoro MRE dataset; this drilling was primarily to
de-risk the MRE and convert near surface Inferred Mineral Resource material to
higher-confidence Indicated, allowing the Company to extend the life of mine
('LOM') of the Project once new Ore Reserves ('OR') studies have been
completed.
2024 MRE Update Highlights
· 2024 MRE achieved:
o total resources 31.4 Mt at 1.04 g/t Au for 1,044 koz, comprising Indicated
19.0 Mt at 1.13 g/t Au for 689 koz plus Inferred 12.4 Mt at 0.89 g/t Au for
354 koz
o 26% increase in tonnage to 31.4Mt (2022 MRE: 24.9Mt)
o 13% increase in contained metal to 1,044koz Au (2022 MRE: 920koz Au)
· MRE update follows a successful 2023 mineral resource conversion
drill programme, the data from which led to a remodelling at Zone A and Selin.
· Other contributing factors to the 2024 MRE increase include:
o a decrease in the cut-off grade to 0.3 g/t Au (2022 MRE: 0.4 g/t Au).
o an increase in the gold price used for the pit shell of US$2,400/oz (2022
MRE: US$1,900/oz), which has increased the volume of material inside the
reporting pit.
· Potential further mineral growth that may be achievable:
o Results from the optimised pits imply more resources may be reported if
additional work is completed to delineate MRE model extensions; further deeper
drilling is now required to expand the MRE at Zone A, Zone B, Zone B North and
Zone C.
o The single exploration hole drilled at Zone B discovered new
mineralisation, which is not part of the current MRE, with three mineralised
zones intersected (19m at 0.66 g/t Au from 27m to 36m, 11m at 0.34 g/t Au from
70m to 81m) and with the hole ending in mineralisation (1m at 2.87 g/t Au) at
120m.
o A further pipeline of oxide drill targets (brownfield and greenfield) are
being reviewed by the Company's exploration team to potentially further grow
the Mineral Resource; the MRE potential of these targets has been highlighted
in the 2024 MRE Report.
o Subsequent to the announcement of the 2022 MRE for a total of 24.9 Mt at
1.15 g/t Au for 920 koz, Cora published an Exploration Target, which in
addition to the 2022 MRE, is estimated to contain between 26.0Mt and 35.2Mt
with a grade range of 0.58 - 1.21 g/t Au for a potential content of 490koz
Au-1.37Moz Au.
Note: The potential quantity and grade of this Exploration Target is
conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a
Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the
estimation of a Mineral Resource.
· 2024 MRE and ongoing optimisation studies to support an updated
Definitive Feasibility Study ('DFS') in 2025, with enhanced project metrics
expected given significantly higher gold price since the 2022 DFS (previously
completed on a US$1,750/oz gold price).
Bert Monro, Chief Executive Officer of Cora, commented, "The Company is
continuing to positively build the economic and exploration potential of the
Sanankoro Gold Project. It's been well established that the more we drill, the
more we find, and as a project it is far from a finished product. We are
constantly seeking ways to enhance the value of the prospects and extend the
life of mine in a way that best maximises shareholder funds. This MRE update
is another step in delivering on our development strategy, which in light of a
continued strong gold price, is proving to be a very opportune time to be
bringing a high value, low cost, oxide gold project such as Sanankoro into
production.
"During the last quarter, following a thorough review of the 2022 DFS, Cora
commissioned a processing optimisation study to look at ways to further
enhance the process plant flow sheet, aimed at delivering further economic
benefits to the Project. Following this study's completion, it's our
intention to update the Project's Ore Reserves and publish an updated DFS
during 2025. With the gold price currently at near record highs, and the
previously completed DFS based on a US$1,750/oz gold price, we are hoping for
significant improvements in the Project's economics. I look forward to being
able to share the results of these studies once completed.
"The Company is proactively engaging with the Malian government regarding its
application for a mining licence, which, once granted, will allow mine
construction to commence. We are looking forward to 2025 and working hard to
deliver an enhanced project."
Further Information
ERM Australia Consultants Pty Ltd ('ERM'; formerly CSA Global), was
commissioned by Cora to provide an updated MRE for Sanankoro. The Project is
located in southwestern Mali, approximately 25km northeast of the border with
Guinea, on the leading western edge of the Yanfolila-Kalana Volcanic Belt. On
a local scale, there are five main mineralised areas which currently define
the Project, which in order of significance are Selin, Zone A, Zone B, Zone B
North, and Zone C. Additionally, Fode 1 and Target 6 represent areas of
interest that were explored and drilled in the 2022 campaign. The subsequent
small MRE resource conversion and de-risking drill campaign focussed on infill
drilling at Selin and Zone A, with a single exploration hole drilled at Zone B
West.
Figure 1. Location of the Sanankoro Gold Project
The previous MRE was reported in 2022 by CSA Global (see announcement dated 19
July 2022). The 2024 MRE update is part of the Company's project improvement
efforts, which will result in an updated DFS for the Sanankoro Gold Project.
The 2024 MRE has been classified and reported as Indicated and Inferred in
accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code 2012(( 1 (#_ftn1) )). Pit
optimisation studies demonstrate that the Mineral Resource can be extracted by
means of open pit mining and therefore meets the criteria required for
Reasonable Prospects for Eventual Economic Extraction ('RPEEE').
The 2024 MRE is reported above a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t Au and comprises
31.4Mt at 1.04 g/t Au. The previous Mineral Resource was reported in June 2022
by CSA Global at a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t Au and comprised 24.9Mt at 1.15g/t
Au. The 2024 MRE represents a 26% increase in tonnage and a 13% increase in
contained metal compared to the 2022 MRE. Contributing factors to this
increase are:
• remodelling at Zone A and Selin due to additional
data.
• a decrease in the cut-off grade from 0.4 g/t Au to
0.3 g/t Au.
• an increase in the gold price used for the RPEEE
pit shell of US$2,400/oz (2022 MRE: US$1,900/oz) has increased the volume of
material inside the reporting pit, at depth.
• an increased proportion of Inferred material
reported within the RPEEE pits is largely attributable to the metal price
increase.
The 2024 Mineral Resource is stated in Table 1 and a breakdown of the 2024
Mineral Resource by zone is presented in Table 2. A comparison of the 2022 MRE
vs the 2024 MRE by classification and zone is shown in Table 3.

Zone B West Discovery
A single hole SC0708, was drilled to test the interpretation (made from recent
field observations) that multiple mineralised zones could exist between the
eastern Sanankoro structure (hanging wall) and the western Bokoro structure
(footwall) of the Sanankoro Main Shear Zone ('SMSZ'). The zone's approximate
width is 450m. Within hole SC0708, two mineralised zones (from 27m, 19m at
0.66 g/t Au; and from 70m, 11m at 0.34 g/t Au) were intersected in a
Tuffaceous unit, with a potential third zone commencing at the end of the hole
(120m). The last metre interval intersected sulphide rich quartz veins,
assaying, 1m at 2.87 g/t Au.
This hole highlighted and proved the exploration concept that multiple other
mineralised zones exist within the SMSZ and not just along the hanging wall
and footwall structures (i.e. Sanankoro and Bokoro structures respectively)
where the Mineral Resources are currently defined. Importantly, none of
these new mineralised zones are included in the 2022 MRE nor the 2024 MRE
update. As evidenced by the artisanal workings, these new Zone B West zones of
mineralisation are open to the north for over 500m, towards Zone B North (see
Figure 2 below) and can be seen to extend for another 500m to the south,
towards Zone A. Additionally, there remains another 300m of width across the
SMSZ to be drilled tested as more mineralised zones are interpreted to exist
as part of this large, mineralised shear zone, which if proved correct through
further drilling could result in further Mineral Resources being delineated.

Optimisation Studies
The focus of further exploration is to expand Sanankoro's Oxide Reserve
inventory to reduce the strip ratio below the existing 4.6:1, to further
enhance the mine's attractiveness as highlighted in the 2022 DFS and
Optimised Economics based on a US$1,750/oz gold price:
· 52.3% IRR
· 1.2 year payback period
· 6.8 years Reserve life
· 56koz average production
· US$997/oz AISC
Based on the results of the updated 2024 MRE, and following conclusion of an
ongoing optimisation study designed to enhance the 2022 DFS process design,
Cora intends to update the Project's Ore Reserves and DFS, which given the now
burgeoning gold price is expected to deliver material differences to the
Project's key metrics.

The 1 m bulk samples are riffle split down to 5-6 kg using a three-tier 75:25
riffle splitter and a duplicate pair of 2-3 kg samples are then generated
using a two-tier 50:50 riffle splitter. One sample is sent to the lab and the
duplicate is stored for any future re-assay or reference.
All RC holes are photographed on chip tables and chip trayed after sampling

auger, RAB, AC and AC hammer; and a MRE database consisting of RC and DD.
All 2021 core intervals are orientated using a Wellforce DV8 iCORE ORI
instrument when geologically possible.
DD core was drilled on an average of 3 m rod pulls but depending upon ground
conditions 1.5 m or 6 m rod pulls could have been applied. PQ was used through

material.
RC was drilled using a 5 (3/8)" face-sampling hammer leading a 4 ½" standard
rod string. Auxiliary booster-compressor air packs were used on deeper holes,
normally > 110m, to ensure dry sample quality and recovery.
The RC drilling was sampled on a standard 1 m interval and recoveries assessed
quantitively by weighing each sampled metre. The practice of weighing drill
chip samples immediately from recovery at the rig is Cora standard practice
for all RAB, AC and RC drilling.
Sample quality and recovery are monitored at the rig during drilling shift
both observationally by the geologist checking the moisture content, possible
contamination and relative recovery along the bag line and quantitively by
weighing each of the bulk 1 m samples direct from the cyclone before layout.
DD and RC recoveries are logged and recorded in the database. Overall
recoveries are >90% for the DD and >70% for the RC; there are no core
loss issues or significant sample recovery problems. A geologist is always
present at the rig to monitor and record sample quality.
The Mineral Resource is defined by DD and RC drilling, which have high sample
recoveries. No relationship between sample recovery and grade have been
identified at the project. The consistency of the mineralised intervals and
density of drilling is considered to preclude any issue of sample bias due to
material loss or gain.

Terrabotics UK produced a site specific 139 km(2) digital terrain model (DTM)
with 0.3 m RL accuracy using tasked Maxar orthorectified Worldview-3 (WV3)
imagery flown in November to December 2020. The DTM was provided in February
2021 and utilised throughout the 2021 and 2022 drilling campaigns.
The Terrabotics DTM proved accurate from ongoing survey work to be within
30-50 cm RL. Differential GPS easting and northing showed better resolution.
The Terrabotics DTM is an acceptable topographic model for Sanankoro which
defines the surface relief and maps the artisanal pits across the 139 km(2)
area of interest accurately. The WV3 imagery maps the full cadastral and
natural features across the project area.

In accordance with the 2019 Mining Code of the Republic of Mali, the 84.11
km(2) Sanankoro II gold exploration permit was awarded to Cora Resources Mali
SARL on 2 March 2021. Cora Resources Mali SARL is registered in the Republic
of Mali. The duration of the permit is three years, renewable twice at the
holder's request. The duration of each renewal period is extended to three
years and, as such, the full-term expiry date of the Sanankoro II gold
exploration permit is 2 March 2030.
A gold exploration permit over the same area as that covered by the Sanankoro
II gold exploration permit was previously held by Sankarani Ressources SARL.
This permit expired on 1 February 2020, having been initially awarded on 1
February 2013.
Cora Resources Mali SARL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sankarani Ressources
SARL which in turn is a 95% subsidiary of Cora Gold Limited. Sankarani
Ressources SARL is registered in the Republic of Mali. Cora Gold Limited is
registered in the British Virgin Islands. The residual 5% interest in
Sankarani Ressources SARL may be acquired from a third party for the sum of
US$1 million. In addition, the Sanankoro II permit is subject to a third party
1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty. All fees due to the government in respect
of the Sanankoro II gold exploration permit have been paid and the permit is
in good standing.
Exploration done by other parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Exploration activities on the original Sanankoro permit by previous workers
have included geological mapping, rock chip sampling, termite sampling, trench
sampling geophysical surveys and surface drilling - auger, RAB, AC, RC, and
DD.
There were two previous companies who conducted work at Sanankoro, i.e.
Randgold Resources Ltd (Randgold) between 2004 and 2008 and Gold Fields
between 2008 and 2012.
During 2004 to 2008, Randgold conducted successive programs of soils and
termites geochemical sampling on iterative 500 m, 200 m and 100 m grids. Broad
blocks of gradient array induced polarisation (IP) were completed to assist
drill targeting on the broad regional-scale surface anomalies. They drilled
broad spaced 400 m x 100 m auger and RAB fences in search for bedrock
targets.
During 2008 to 2012, Gold Fields conducted infill soils and termite sampling
down to 100 m x 25 m resolution. They conducted large blocks of regional
gradient array IP and three main phases of drilling ranging from 400 m x 100 m
RAB with follow-up AC down to
50 m x 25 m RC and RC with DD tails, dependent upon results discovered.
Cora acquired the Sanankoro Permit in April 2017 and started exploration
termite sampling in May 2017.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. Sanankoro is located on the leading western edge of the Yanfolila-Kalana
Volcanic Belt, which is the western-most expression of the cratonic
Baoulé-Mossi domain, on the major transcrustal margin with the Siguiri Basin.
There is major deep-seated architecture across the district which links the
major gold mines at Siguiri, Lero, Tri-K, Kalana and Yanfolila.
On a project scale, Sanankoro is characterised by the 2 km wide Sanankoro
Shear Zone, which can be traced over 30 km from Kabaya South in the western
Yanfolila Mine to north of the Niger River beyond Selin and onto Karan. Within
the project area, each of the prospects are underpinned by a strong linear
parallel, and where strong mineralisation is developed, a pronounced localised
northeast-southwest focused zone of en-echelon veining and associated sulphide
development.
There are five main areas which currently define the Sanankoro Gold project,
which in order of significance are Selin, Zone A, Zone B, Zone B North, and
Zone C.
Selin is hosted on the eastern margin of the Sanankoro Shear Zone in the
north-eastern corner of the Sanankoro permit. The Selin deposit has a typical
interference node control but with the additional positive impact of a strong,
rheological diorite intrusive host. The gold geology at Selin is anchored
along this linear, en-echelon or possibly folded, diorite igneous intrusive
which cores the volcaniclastic thrust assemblage and focuses the gold
deposition.
Recent core drilling into Selin has enlightened the genetic model for the
deposit by discovering four to six multiple early/pre-D3 dykes of diorite
intruding the 65-80° west dipping axial trace of a western hangingwall F3
anti-form on this major reactivated D2 east-verging thrust. The >100 m wide
Selin Shear Zone may be a regional back-thrust and the dominant eastern margin
of the regional west-verging Sanankoro Thrust. The largest diorite unit is
demonstrably discordant and sits immediately west and adjacent to a major
early ductile, 10-30 m wide footwall carbonaceous shear. Progressive
deformation has folded, warped and possibly cross-faulted the diorite units
prior to gold deposition. The early footwall shear fabrics are overprinted by
later semi-brittle to brittle graphitic faults which locally convert all
protolith to graphitic schist on sub-metre scale. The diorite units exhibit
multi-phase veining interference and sulphide development. The dominant
sulphide is pyrite with occasional arsenopyrite and a scattering of
chalcopyrite. Alteration minerals are predominantly sericite, silica,
fuchsite, ankerite, graphite and calcite.
Zone A is located at the southern limit of the 11.5 km mineralised corridor,
which forms the Sanankoro Project. Zone A is the southern-most expression of
the 010° trending central axis of the Sanankoro Shear Zone, which sits 900 m
west of the Selin Boundary Shear and hosts the 5.8 km chain of open pit
resources from Zone A through Zone B1, B2, B3 to Target 3. The deposits of
this central trend verge westward mimicking the regional sense of thrusting.
Zone B is the strike extension of Zone A, located 800 m to the north. The
Sanankoro Main Trend runs for 6 km from south end of Zone A to the north end
of Target 3. Detailed sectional drilling is required along the length of this
major generative gold system. The local structural facing and stratigraphy of
Zone B is very similar to Zone A with the western footwall sequences hosting
more crystalline volcanic tuffaceous units and the eastern, hangingwall
assemblages being more basinal sediments. Zone B hosts an impressive scale of
hydrothermal activity and the broad horizontal widths of mineralisation
observed in the recent drilling bodes well for future discovery potential
along the central and southern sections of the Sanankoro Main Shear Zone.
Zone C is located 650 m southwest of Zone A on the parallel, >7 km long
Sanankoro West Shear Zone (SWSZ) which can be traced along a chain of surface
workings to the Excavator Prospect, 1.5 km north-northwest of Target 3. The
SWSZ is high in the priority list for drilling in the 2022 program and a
number of SWSZ targets, beyond Zone C, will be tested for surface potential.
Zones A, B and C deposits are identical in style and typical of Siguiri Basin
deposits, fold-thrust controlled within pelitic and psammitic sediments and
very deeply weathered (>120 m from surface). There is a highly evolved
weathering profile with a pronounced 8-10 m thick duricrust-laterite
ferro-cap, grading downward into a well-developed mottled zone to 20-25 m
depth and remains highly weathered until beyond 140 m vertically within the
central mineralised fault zone. Zone B1 has extremely deep weathering with
shallow oxide densities measured to depths of 190 m down-dip within the ore
zone trough.
All the host oxide lithologies are weathered to kaolin with only highly
corroded quartz vein material remaining in-situ to mark the main gold faults.
Diamond core shows the host lithologies to be predominantly variably grained
basinal pelites and sandstones with minor horizons of small quartz clast,
matrix-supported greywacke inter-bedded within the sequence. A minor intercept
of diorite has been identified but does not form an important control to the
mineralisation currently drill tested at Zone A or C. The primary sulphide is
pyrite disseminated around central vein networks and enveloped by a broader
hydrothermal halo of silica flooding, sericite and ankerite.

Competent Person's opinion the exclusion of this data does not detract from
the understanding of this report.
The 2021 program twinned important historical Goldfields and early Cora,
smaller diameter, air core and RC intercepts. Historical Energold DD NQ core
holes exhibited sections of unacceptably poor recoveries, especially in the
deeply oxidised deposits of Zone A and Zone B1, which were twinned using the
deep RC rig.
The 2022 program focussed on infill drilling at Zone B North and Selin, and
targeted Fode 1 and Target 6 as potential sites of interest.
The 2023 program focussed on infill drilling at Zone A and Selin, with a
single drillhole into Zone B.

and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off
grades are usually Material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and
longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation
should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be
clearly stated.
All RC intersections are sampled and assayed on 1 m intervals but could be
composited up to 4 m in areas interpreted to be barren.
DD core sampling can be 0.5-1.5 m in length depending on geological contacts.
Significant intercepts have previously been reported using a cut-off grade of
0.5 g/t, without top cuts.
Mineralised intervals are reported with a maximum of 3 m of consecutive
internal dilution of less than 0.5 g/t Au. Mineralised intervals are reported
on a length-weighted average basis.
No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration
Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drillhole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there should be
a clear statement to this effect (e.g. 'downhole length, true width not
known').
The orientation of the mineralised zone has been established and majority of
the drilling was planned to intersect the mineralised structures orthogonally
or as close as practicable.
Existing artisanal workings, buildings, sacred sites and drainage sometimes
created obstacles which prevented perfect intersection and some holes were
required to be drilled at less-than-ideal orientations.
For the bulk of drillholes, site preparations were carried out and 50 m by 25
m drill spacing applied and acceptable intersection orientations were
achieved.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
The appropriate plans and sections are included in this document.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.
Not applicable as no Exploration Results are being reported in this document.
Other substantive exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples - size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical
and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.
Detailed metallurgical test work has been carried out as part of a previous
scoping study. Testwork shows that the ore is amenable to conventional
crushing, grinding, gravity and carbon-in-leach processing. Oxide recoveries
have been determined to be >95%.
1,068 detailed dry bulk density determinations were conducted on all 2021

The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology. Overprinting the strong linear north-south lithological architecture is a flat
weathering stratigraphy which is characterised from surface with an iron
indurated cap of laterite ± duricrust down to 12-17 m, with an underlying
mottled zone of soft plastic clay and highly kaolinized laterite for a further
6-12 m. Below the mottled zone is the saprolite, a highly weathered
discernible rock which is present, but down to highly variable depths, across
the deposits, reaching depths of >170 m at Zone B. The saprolite can be
observed to freshen into transition material relatively rapidly but extends to
depths normally between 170 m and 200 m at Zone A and Zone B, in the
highlands, before becoming true fresh rock.
At Selin, the weathering profile is suppressed, probably by the massive
siliceous nature of the diorite, with the transition material occurring from
60 m in certain highly siliceous, veined mineralisation locations. The
transition diorite mineralisation tends to maintain good CN recoveries.
Zone A and Zone B/North exhibit a very pronounced deep trough weathering
profile whereas Zone C and Selin seem to host less pronounced weathering,
likely due to host rock types and topographically low relief positions.
Mineralisation was modelled using a 0.2 g/t Au threshold value for all areas.
The threshold is deemed to be an indicator of mineralised material.
Higher grade zones were investigated, but these proved to not be sufficiently
continuous for modelling and estimation purposes.
The mineralisation model was guided by local dip and strike trends.
Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length (along The Selin mineralisation model is 2.8 km in length along strike, a maximum of

The Zone A mineralisation model is 1.2 km in length along strike, a maximum of
245 m in depth, and is anything from a few to 50 m wide. Zone A is reported to
a maximum depth of 190 m below surface.
The Zone B mineralisation model is 1.7 km in length along strike, a maximum of
215 m in depth, and is anything from a few to 50 m wide. Zone B is reported to
a maximum depth of 180 m below surface.
The Zone C mineralisation model is 750 m in length along strike, a maximum of
160 m in depth, and is anything from a few to 50 m wide. Zone C is reported to
a maximum depth of 120 m below surface.

the wider spacing allowed for Indicated. Indicated Mineral Resources have
slope of regression values ≥0.75, demonstrating an acceptable level of
confidence in the estimate.
