Roscan Gold (RCGCF) announces a significant development as the Malian government partially lifts the suspension on mining title applications processing, effective March 15, 2025. The decision allows resumption of research and exploitation permit renewals, transitions from research to exploitation, and transfer of exploitation permits.

The company's Kandiole Gold Project currently holds an indicated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 27.4 million tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold (1.02 million ounces) and an inferred MRE of 5.2 million tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold (0.20 million ounces). These estimates use cut-off grades of 0.3 g/t gold for oxide and 0.42 g/t gold for fresh at a $1,500 per ounce gold price.

Additionally, Roscan has identified an exploration target for potential MRE growth between 8Mt at 1.0 g/t Au and 30Mt at 0.8 g/t Au within the MRE areas.

Roscan Gold (RCGCF) annuncia uno sviluppo significativo poiché il governo maliano solleva parzialmente la sospensione sul trattamento delle domande di titoli minerari, con effetto dal 15 marzo 2025. La decisione consente la ripresa del rinnovo dei permessi di ricerca e sfruttamento, il passaggio dalla ricerca allo sfruttamento e il trasferimento dei permessi di sfruttamento.

Il Progetto Oro Kandiole dell'azienda detiene attualmente una stima delle risorse minerarie indicate (MRE) di 27,4 milioni di tonnellate a 1,2 g/t di oro (1,02 milioni di once) e una MRE inferita di 5,2 milioni di tonnellate a 1,2 g/t di oro (0,20 milioni di once). Queste stime utilizzano gradi di cut-off di 0,3 g/t di oro per l'ossido e 0,42 g/t di oro per il fresco a un prezzo dell'oro di $1.500 per oncia.

Inoltre, Roscan ha identificato un obiettivo di esplorazione per una potenziale crescita della MRE compresa tra 8Mt a 1,0 g/t Au e 30Mt a 0,8 g/t Au all'interno delle aree MRE.

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 10, 2025) - Roscan Gold Corporation (TSXV: ROS) (FSE: 2OJ) (OTCQB: RCGCF) ("Roscan" or the "Company") welcomes the announcement by the Government of Mali regarding the partial lifting of the suspension on processing applications related to mining titles. This decision represents a significant milestone for the country's mining sector and a major de-risking event for Roscan's Kandiole Gold Project.

The Malian Ministry of Mines has confirmed that, effective March 15, 2025, the Mining Administration will resume processing applications for the renewal of research and exploitation permits, as well as applications related to the transition from the research phase to exploitation. Additionally, requests for the direct or indirect transfer of exploitation permits will also be considered. This follows extensive efforts to streamline and enhance governance within Mali's mining sector.

Roscan Gold views this development as a pivotal step that supports the continued advancement of its Kandiole Gold Project, where the Company has delineated an indicated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") of 27.4 million tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold for 1.02 million ounces and an inferred MRE of 5.2 million tonnes at 1.2 g/t gold for 0.20 million ounces. These estimates were reported using a cut-off grade of 0.3 g/t gold (oxide) and 0.42 g/t gold (fresh) at a gold price of $1,500 per ounce.

In addition to this resource base, Roscan has identified an exploration target(1) for potential MRE growth estimated between 8Mt at 1.0 g/t Au and 30Mt at 0.8 g/t Au within the MRE areas, alongside extensive positive exploration results outside the MRE areas.
