During 2023, Emperor undertook a 14-hole drill campaign and relogged 3,000 samples of historical core as part of a program focused on outlining a near surface lower grade open pittable gold deposit rather than an underground higher grade mine. Pursuant to previous press releases, Emperor has announced both high grade and low grade intersections building upon the Company's open pit model.

This report is available on Globex's website and is considered relevant and reliable. A "qualified person" as defined under NI 43-101 has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
