The creation of the Committees confirms the parties' recognition that the successful development, construction, operation and closure of the Falco Horne 5 Project in a manner that ensures the safety and operational integrity of the Horne Smelter operations, requires coordination and communication between Falco and Glencore at multiple levels.

Technical Committee

The Technical Committee will focus among others, on determining ongoing operating parameters within which Falco can conduct operations of the Falco Horne 5 Project so as to (i) not interfere with the Horne Smelter, (ii) minimize and control risks to the Horne Smelter, (iii) determine and adopt mitigation measures as required, (iv) determine further monitoring, data collection and/or studies as required and (v) determine any other matters with respect to potential risks to the Horne Smelter from Falco's operations.

The Technical Committee will be composed of four members as follows:

Mr. Wouter Vanaarde, Engineering Manager - Glencore
Ms. Marie-Élise Viger, Environnemental Manager - Glencore
Mr. Luc Lessard, President and CEO - Falco
Ms. Hélène Cartier, Vice President, Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations – Falco

Strategic Committee

The Strategic Committee will be a forum for discussion and the exchange of information on matters of strategic importance to the interaction of the development, construction, operation and closure of the project with the Horne Smelter operations, the search for synergies, matters relating to community and regulatory agency engagement and stakeholder concerns and the sharing of information on the Falco Horne 5 Project and Horne Smelter.

The Strategic Committee will be composed of three members as follows:

Mr. Danny Tremblay, Manager for Commercial & Recycling Sites Operations - Glencore
Mr. Luc Lessard, President and CEO - Falco
Ms. Hélène Cartier, Vice President, Environment, Sustainable Development and Community Relations - Falco

The Committees are composed of experienced professionals with extensive experience in various areas including environment, construction, development and production, and most of whom have been collaborating closely over the past years.

Luc Lessard, President and Chief Executive Officer of Falco commented: " The creation of the Committees reflects the parties' continued dedication and extensive collaboration to pursue and prepare, within the framework established by the OLIA, a solid foundation for the project's next development phase. We would like to thank everyone involved at Glencore for their work, continued assistance and engaged participation, in addition to their support of the Falco Horne 5 Project."

As previously announced by the inquiry commission of the Bureau of Public Hearings on the Environment (BAPE), the first part of the public hearing on the Falco Horne 5 Project will commence on August 27, 2024 at 7 p.m. The hearing will continue on August 28, 2024, at 1:30 p.m. and 7 p.m., and other sessions could be added as required.

About Awalé Resources

Awalé is a diligent and systematic mineral exploration Company focused on discovering large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. The Company currently undertakes exploration activities in the underexplored parts of Côte d'Ivoire. Awalé's exploration success to date has culminated in a fully funded earn-in Joint Venture with Newmont covering one permit and one application (the "Odienné Project JV") within the greater Odienné Copper-Gold Project in the Northwest of Côte d'Ivoire, where three (3) significant gold and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum discoveries have been made. The Sceptre East and Charger discoveries have significant scope for growth with future discovery and resource development drilling. The Project has multiple pipeline prospects with similar geochemical fingerprints to Iron Oxide Copper Gold ("IOCG") and intrusive related mineral systems. The 400km2 of granted tenure and 400km2 under application remain underexplored and offer significant upside potential. The Odienné Project JV forms a solid foundation for the Company to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that provides significant potential for district-scale discoveries.
