NEWS RELEASE

PERSEUS MINING UPDATES MINERAL RESOURCES AND ORE RESERVE ESTIMATES HIGHLIGHTS

  • Measured and Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resources now total 10.6 Moz gold reflecting a 2.9 Moz or 37% increase
  • Proved and Probable Ore Reserves for the Group now total 7.0 Moz gold representing a 2.0 Moz or 40% increase
  • Yaouré Ore Reserves increased by 217 koz or 15%

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Perth, Western Australia/ August 26, 2026/ Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) is pleased to update estimates of its Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves as of 30 June 2026.

The Perseus Group’s Measured and Indicated (M&I) Mineral Resources now total 10.6 Moz gold reflecting a 2.9 Moz or 37% increase against the 2025 M&I Mineral Resources (Table 1).

Proved and Probable Ore Reserves for the Group now total 7.0 Moz gold representing a 2.0 Moz or 40% increase against the 2025 Ore Reserve (Table 2).

The sources of change underlying the 2.0 Moz gold increase in Perseus’s estimate of Ore Reserves against those reported at 30 June 2025 are presented in Figure 1. As part of its annual planning cycle, the Company has reassessed the growth opportunities available within its portfolio with the approach of optimising the portfolio rather than focussing on fixed investment targets for each asset. In this way, the Company has sought to find the balance between investment in growth opportunities and the cash margin generated by the business.

Perseus’s Managing Director and CEO, Craig Jones, said:

This is another year of strong growth in Perseus’s Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve base. Growing our Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources by 37% to 10.6 million ounces, and our Proved and Probable Ore Reserves by 40% to 7.0 million ounces reflecting Perseus’s ongoing value generation through extending the life of its mines through exploration and reflects the quality of the exploration and technical work done by our teams.

Nyanzaga is now firmly established as a cornerstone of the Perseus portfolio, contributing 4.1 million ounces of Ore Reserves and underpinning the next phase of the Company's production growth as we advance the project toward first gold. At Yaouré, the net addition to Reserve was driven from Yaouré pit, while at Edikan and Sissingué we continue to replace mining depletion, maintaining reserve life at both operations

Our Mineral Resources continue to grow with our ongoing organic drilling activities, with an increased drilling program planned for FY27.

PERSEUS’S MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

The Perseus Group’s total M&I Mineral Resources reported as at 30 June 2026 are estimated to be 270.3 Mt grading 1.22 g/t gold, containing 10.6 Moz of gold, compared with the estimate of 30 June 2025 of 185.9 Mt grading at 1.30 g/t Au for 7.8 Moz of gold. The Mineral Resource Statement accounts for mining depletion of in-situ Mineral Resources and is reported inclusive of Ore Reserves. Inferred Resources are 57.5 Mt grading at 1.4 g/t Au for 2.5 Moz of gold, compared with the estimate of 30 June 2025 of 39.9 Mt grading at 1.5 g/t Au for 1.9 Moz of gold. Tonnes are reported as dry metric tonnes. All tabulated tonnes, grade and metal have been rounded to reflect appropriate precision in the estimate and may cause some discrepancies in totals. A breakdown of these changes is presented graphically in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Change in Perseus Group Mineral Resources by Project and Classification – June 2025 to June 2026

In March 2026 Perseus announced the sale of the Meyas Sand Gold Project (MSGP) in Sudan (see news release titled “Perseus announces sale of Group interest in Meyas Sand Project in Sudan” dated 16 March 2026). This was previously quoted as a Foreign/Historical Estimate, and with Perseus’s sale of all interest, has been removed from reporting in this release.

The Group Mineral Resource estimates are reported in accordance with the 2012 Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code 2012). The classification categories of Measured, Indicated and Inferred under the JORC Code (2012) are equivalent to the CIM categories of the same names (CIM, 2014). For the purpose of satisfying “reasonable prospects for eventual extraction” (JORC Code 2012), open pit Mineral Resources are reported above optimised open pit shells developed with actual and estimated operating costs, geotechnical and metallurgical parameters, and a long-term gold price assumption of US$3,300 per ounce, with the exception of Nyanzaga reported at US$2,700 per ounce. Underground Mineral Resources at CMA are constrained to below the CMA open pit and reported at a 1.5 g/t Au cut-off. Underground Mineral Resources at Edikan are constrained to a depth of 700 mRL at Esuajah South and are all exclusive of open pit Mineral Resources.

Technical Reports associated with these Mineral Resources, have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 for the following operations:

  • Nyanzaga Gold Project, Tanzania, NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated 10 June 2025
  • Yaouré Operations, Côte d’Ivoire, NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated 18 December 2023
  • Edikan Operations, Ghana, NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated 6 April 2022
  • Sissingué Operations, Côte d’Ivoire, NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated 29 May 2015

These reports can be found on Perseus’s website at www.perseusmining.com and on the Canadian System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) website www.sedarplus.ca.

YAOURÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D’IVOIRE

The combined M&I Mineral Resource for the Yaouré Gold Mine is estimated at 58.1 Mt grading 1.53 g/t Au, containing 2.9 Moz of gold (Table 3). A further 32.3 Mt of material grading 1.5 g/t gold, containing 1.6 Moz of gold are classified as Inferred Mineral Resources (Table 4). The previous Mineral Resource as at 30 June 2025 was estimated at M&I of 54.1 Mt grading at 1.49 g/t gold, containing 2.6 Moz of gold and an additional 16.9 Mt grading 1.8 g/t for 982 koz of gold of Inferred Mineral Resources.

An updated Mineral Resource estimate was prepared for the Yaouré open pit during the 2026 financial year. All remaining geological models are unchanged from the previous year’s Mineral Resource Statement. An overview showing the relative

NYANZAGA GOLD PROJECT, TANZANIA

In February 2026, Perseus announced an updated Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve for the Nyanzaga Gold Project in Tanzania (see news release titled “Perseus Mining increases Nyanzaga Gold Project Ore Reserves to 4.0 Moz” dated 20 February 2026). The M&I Mineral Resource for the Nyanzaga Gold Project is reported as 110.4 Mt grading 1.33 g/t gold, containing 4.7 Moz of gold, as at 30 June 2026 (Table 9). A further 6.5 Mt of material grading 1.6 g/t Au and containing 343 koz of gold are classified as an Inferred Mineral Resource (Table 10). Mining at the NGP to 30 June 2026 has involved pre-strip activities of waste material only.

PERSEUS’S ORE RESERVE ESTIMATE CRITERIA FOR ORE RESERVE CLASSIFICATION

All Ore Reserves are reported in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) and are reported by category, deposit and type, above variable cut-off grades. The classification categories of Proved and Probable under the JORC Code (2012) are equivalent to the CIM categories Proven and Probable respectively (CIM, 2010).

The Ore Reserve is classified as Proved and Probable corresponding to the Mineral Resource classifications of M&I and considering other factors where relevant. The deposits’ geological models are well constrained. The Ore Reserve classification is considered appropriate given the nature of the deposits, the moderate grade variability, drilling density, structural complexity, confidence in input parameters based on operational experience, and mining history. It was therefore considered appropriate to use Measured Mineral Resources as a basis for Proved Ore Reserves and Indicated Mineral Resources as a basis for Probable Ore Reserves.

No Inferred Mineral Resources were included in the Ore Reserve estimate, with the exception of 2.8 koz of incidental Inferred which is included in the CMA Underground development and is not considered material to the Ore Reserve. Group Ore Reserve changes by activity type are shown in Figure 9, while changes by project are shown in Figure 10.
