Cost Control/Value Focus:
TGM continues to deliver strong project execution and disciplined cost management. The TGME Project’s posttax value has surged to US$504 million—an impressive US$285 million uplift—driven largely by higher gold prices.
This pricing strength has unlocked the ability to profitably mine lower-grade ore, resulting in a 13% increase in
material movement and a 7% reduction in head grade compared to the previous feasibility study.
The TGME Project delivers significant gold price leverage as demonstrated below:

Ref to ASX Release dated 27 July 2022 titled, “Theta Gold’s TGME Project DFS confirms NPV of AUD432 Million”.
Key Assumptions: Long term average spot gold price of US$2,710 applied in Base Case scenario over LOM / AISC estimation of US$1,101 /oz at +/- 15%
level of accuracy.
2
Importantly, while higher gold prices have led to increased royalties, they’ve also contributed positively to project
economics. Around 53% of the AISC increase (US$150/oz of the total US$267/oz) is directly linked to gold price
impacts—highlighting the strong leverage to gold and the value being captured for shareholders.
This breakdown is illustrated in the following waterfall chart below.

Independent Mining Engineers, Minxcon Pty Ltd (Minxcon) completed an optimised Feasibility Study (FS) to
restart the historical TGME Underground Gold Mine Project in South Africa. As the original authors of the 2022
FS, Minxcon bring deep familiarity with the asset. The updated FS reflects a conservative base case gold price of
US$2,710/oz — despite spot prices now exceeding US$3,000/oz — and unlocks significantly enhanced
economics.
Two mine scheduling strategies have been investigated, namely:
•
Base Case: LOM Plan includes a Production Target of 1.31 Moz targeting Measured, Indicated and Inferred
Mineral Resources; and
•
Ore Reserve Plan: LOM Plan includes a Production Target of 604 koz targeting Measured and Indicated
Mineral Resources only.
The FS completed only includes the first of four mines out of a historical 43 mines that the company will look to
bring online, including:
•
Beta;
•
Frankfort;
•
Clewer-Dukes Hill-Morgenzon (“CDM”); and
•
Rietfontein.
The process plant sits at the heart of Pilgrim’s Rest, a region steeped in gold mining history and home to a
skilled local workforce, just 370 km northeast of Johannesburg. Centrally located, the plant is only 2.5 km from
Pilgrim’s Rest township, with Beta Mine just 1.3 km to the west, Frankfort and CDM 24 km and 6.3 km north,
and Rietfontein 21 km south-southeast—ensuring efficient ore delivery from all key deposits.
Key Project Components:
•
The Mineral Resource 4 in the Base Case LoM Plan of 1,314 koz of gold now includes an additional 41koz
(109koz available) of surface ore from historic rock dumps and MR83 tailings storage facility (TFS) which was
previously never recognised in the mining plan and provides early cashflow opportunities.
•
Phase 1 launches with four mines—Beta, Frankfort, CDM, and Rietfontein—leveraging the skilled mining
workforce of Pilgrim’s Rest and Sabie, 370 km northeast of Johannesburg.
•
Over 43 historical mines underpin a long-term growth pipeline, with 3.6 Moz of Inferred Resources available
for future development—none included in the current Base Case.
•
Execution-ready: Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) is complete, supporting modular expansion. The plant
build will use modular, plug-and-play equipment, significantly reducing construction risk and enabling faster,
more reliable commissioning.
•
Site works underway: Old plant decommissioned; contracts for earthworks, civils, roads, and water
management signed in September 2025.
•
Multi-phase ramp-up: Production will build to 45 ktpm across underground operations, following the FS Base
Case plan (Measured, Indicated, and Inferred Resources).
•
Beta Mine leads off: Mining starts with 18 months of pre-development at Beta before stoping begins.
4 Including Inferred Resources.
4
•
Phase 1 entails the initial 14.5-year Base Case LOM plan at the processing rate of 540 ktpa with key physical
parameters including;
o
Gold ore production ramp up to 45 ktpm, for the first 18 months will be from the initial 109K Oz of
surface ore contained in historical rock dumps and tailings to provide early cashflow while
underground mine development is completed;
o
First underground gold within 18 months of development from Beta Mine;
o
Free-milling stand-alone processing plant, with doré produced on site to produce 90 – 120Koz p.a. @
4.81 g/t recovered gold – at 87.2% gold recovery rate;
o
First gold production is scheduled for Q1, 20275;
o
Gold plant expected to produce over 80koz/pa by the third year of production;
o
Recommission of existing on-site Tailings Storage Facility (TSF);
o
Base Case LOM plan outlines a recovery of 1.14 Moz gold from 1.31 Moz mined;
o
Over 3 Moz of Inferred Mineral Resources available for future development are not included in the
Base Case LOM plan.
Key Economic Results of FS:
Under average gold prices of US$2,710 / oz (A$4,2206 / oz), the Base Case scenario of FS demonstrates strong
financial returns7 (based on LOM plan), including:
o
Undiscounted free cash flows of US$1.2 billion (A$1.8 billion), pre-tax US$1.7 billion (A$2.6 billion);
o
NPV (at a 10% discount rate) of US$504 million (A$784 million), pre-tax US$727 million (A$1.1 billion);
o
Capital payback period of 30 months;
o
Post-tax IRR of 71%; pre-tax IRR of 78%
o
Combined Underground Projects have an AISC of US$1,101/oz (A$1,714/oz); and
o
Peak Capital requirement is US$79 million (A$123 million)8, total initial capital US$103 million (A$160
million)9.

8 TGM is currently in discussion with debt financiers and has engaged an experienced debt advisors to assist in the negotiation of term-sheets for funding
of the Project. Further equity raises are also planned to fund working capital and part of the project capital if required, which may lead to dilution to existing
shareholders.
9 The FS demonstrates that post to Peak Funding, the balance of Total Capital requirement will be self-funded from project cashflow. The board may
however, consider external funding solutions such as via equity, debt, gold pre-sales, gold-streaming or a mixture of these methods.

•
•
Phase 2 unlocks scale: 7 mines, 90 ktpm processing, and up to 160 koz/year gold output within five years
of number plat production from underground.
Growth runway secured: 40 nearby historical mines and defined exploration targets offer substantial
resource upside.
Low-cost mining advantage: All current reserves and LOM material hosted in shallow orebodies (<400m).
Cost discipline embedded: Competitive pricing achieved through active tendering of mine services across
South Africa.
Built for sustainability: ESG-focused design reduces energy use, broadens workforce diversity, and
attracts green-aligned suppliers.
Project Execution Strategy and Plan:
The project will ramp up in phases, targeting an initial Phase 1 Run-Of-Mine (RoM) output of 45 ktpm from multiple
underground mines. This staged approach is underpinned by the FS Base Case, leveraging Measured, Indicated,
and Inferred Resources to maximise early production and flexibility.
In order to achieve this, mining operations are planned to commence as follows:
•
•
•
Beta Mine - Beta Mine will kick off with 18 months of pre-development, followed by stoping from month
19. In the Base Case, the mine is expected to deliver around 30 ktpm of stoping ore for 11.7 years, within
a total Life of Mine of 13.2 years.
Rietfontein Mine - Rietfontein Mine will start mining in 18 months after Beta, stoping after eight months
of pre-development. Stoping begins in month 27, with plans to produce 15 ktpm of ore.
Frankfort and CDM Mines - Frankfort and CDM Mines will begin mining in months 104 and 90, with 16
and 19 months of pre-development planned, respectively. Frankfort is set to produce 15 ktpm, feeding a
DMS plant that delivers 9.5 ktpm. CDM will also produce 15 ktpm at steady state.
6
Mining of the historic rock dumps and TGM Plant TSF will begin in months 7 and 16, respectively, following the
start of operations. The Waste Rock Dump will be mined over 10 months at 45 ktpm, enabling a smooth ramp-up
of Beta’s operations. TSF material will feed the plant for 4 months during ramp-up and continue as needed, with
a total retreatment life of 49 months.

Project Funding Update:
Debt Funding Components
The Company previously announced on 10 June 2025 10 it has received agreed credit approved Loan Facility
Agreement (“Facility”) for up to US$35 million, (A$54 million) and indicative funding terms from the Industrial
Development Corporation of South Africa (“IDC”) for the joint funding of the TGME Underground Gold Mine Project
in South Africa (the “Project”). Finalisation of the Facility with IDC is subject to conditions precedent (which are to
be fulfilled to the Lenders’ satisfaction) including finalisation of definitive loan facility documentation.
Commercial Debt Syndication Progressing
The Company has also appointed, specialist South African firm, Moore Debt Advisory to run the TGME Project
debt syndication process. This syndication process is live with initial indications suggesting strong interest from
commercial lenders. It is anticipated that interest will be converted to more binding terms upon release of this
optimised Project Feasibility Study.
The 2025 FS Base Case provides an estimated peak capex funding requirement of US$79 million, A$123 million
and the Company has demonstrated its ability to raise funding to meet this funding requirement through a
combination of equity and or debt.
On 15 September 202511, the Company announced the execution of key contracts to kick start the construction
at the TGME Gold Mine including commencement of bulk earthworks, civils and infrastructure items including
platforms, roads, water management systems, retaining walls, dams and gold processing plant civil foundation. A
Private Placement of US$4 million, (A$6.2 million) along with an Undertaking Agreement provided by long-term
institutional investors, ensures the Company has sufficient funding to complete the initial long lead earthworks
and civil construction items.

Theta Gold Mines Limited (“Theta Gold” or “Company”) (ASX: TGM| OTC: TGMGF) is pleased to deliver a FS for
the TGME Underground Gold Mine Project, delivering a 7.36 Mt resource @ 5.55 g/t Au for 1.31M oz of contained
gold.
Theta Gold Chairman, Mr. Bill Guy stated:
“The strategy to produce the optimized feasibility study was driven by our belief that the TGME Gold Mine Project
is an exceptional gold asset and shows the true potential of the project in line with more recent gold prices.
The completion of the optimised FS marks another significant milestone achievement for Theta Gold shareholders
and brings with it the rebirth of one of South Africa’s historical mine projects offering significant opportunities for
our employees and their families as well as economic prosperity to the local communities within the region.
“The optimised FS has confirmed the mining method, technical aspects, and the strong economic viability of the
540 ktpa mining and processing operation. The stand-alone CIL plant is to be constructed in modules using
technology that enhances the design efficiency and construction of the metallurgical plant, with the optionality to
expand production capacity in the future as additional mines are brought into production.
“The definitive FS uses a base gold price of US$2,710 / oz (A$4,220 / oz) with an AISC of US$1,101 /oz (A$1,714/oz),
thus displaying the financial robustness of the project which delivers a capital payback of US$79m, (A$123m) in 30
months.
9
“Once up to 7 mines are brought into production, including Vaalhoek, Desire and Glynn’s Mines, an annual
production of in excess of 160 koz/pa will make Theta one of South Africa’s most significant, mid-tier listed gold
doré producing companies.”
