Furthermore, we were honored to recently be received by President Alassane Ouattara of the Republic of Côte d'Ivoire at a ceremony in Abidjan , during which the President reiterated the country's support for the mining sector and the advancement of the Koné project given the positive benefits it can generate for all stakeholders.

We look forward to continuing to build on the momentum created across our business to progress our strategy of creating a premier African gold producer, beginning in Côte d'Ivoire given the country's highly favourable investment climate, significant geological potential, and our extensive experience in the region."

ESIA Validation and Mining Permit Applications

Montage prepared the ESIA for the Koné project during 2023, based upon the project design as outlined in the updated Feasibility Study published on January 16, 2024 (the "UFS"). Montage worked closely in conjunction with the Cabinet d'Etudes Conseils d'Assistance et de Formation de Côte d'Ivoire ("CECAF"), an independent environmental consultancy firm which led the preparation the ESIA to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental standards prior to its submission. The completed ESIA was submitted to the Agence Nationale de l'Environnement of Côte d'Ivoire ("ANDE") in December 2023 . ANDE is the environmental division of the MoE and is responsible for monitoring the compliance of projects and activities with environmental standards.

On March 13, 2024 , the validation hearing was held, during which the ESIA was approved by a commission comprised of numerous government agencies, including:

  • the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy;
  • the Ministry of Environment, Sustainable Development and Ecological Transition (including the Ivorian Anti-Pollution Centre);
  • the Ministry of Water and Forest;
  • the Ministry of Health and Public Hygiene;
  • the Ministry of Interior and Security (including the National Office for Civilian Projection);
  • the Ministry of Equipment and Road Maintenance;
  • the Ministry of Agriculture;
  • the Ministry of Transport; and
  • the Ministry of Economy and Finance

In addition, various government representatives from the Prefets and sous-Prefets, and nearby village representatives were present. During the hearing the ESIA was approved, subject to only minor variations all of which have been addressed by Montage in conjunction with CECAF. On April 8, 2024 , CECAF submitted the revised ESIA report to ANDE, which has been approved by the MoE in a signed Ministerial Order dated May 7, 2023 .

The Ministerial Order for the Environmental Permit includes approval for in-pit tailings disposal, a best practice in the mining industry, making Koné the first mine to receive this approval in Côte d'Ivoire.

With the Environmental Permit received, Montage has lodged its mining permit applications ("MPA") with the Direction Générale des Mines et de la Géologie ("DGMG") and expects to receive all necessary permits and approvals for the construction of the Koné project during H2-2024.

The MPA submissions cover a total area of 357.5 sq.km (Figure 2, 103.4 sq.km at Koné and 254.1 sq.km at Gbongogo) and encompasses the Koné deposit, the Gbongogo Main deposit, a 35km haulage corridor, along with sufficient land area for all plant and related surface infrastructure for development of the mine.

Non-GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The Company discloses "cash costs" and "all-in sustaining costs" and other unit costs because it understands that certain investors use this information to determine the Company's ability to generate earnings and cash flows for use in investing and other activities. The Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, do not fully illustrate the ability of mines to generate cash flows. The measures, as determined under IFRS, are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operating activities. The measures cash costs and all-in sustaining costs and unit costs are considered to be key indicators of a project's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.
