Pinargozu and Akkaya Licenses

It was announced on July 1, 2022, that Pasinex had filed a legal action against the mining ministry in Turkey, T.C. Maden ve Petrol Iserl Genel Mudurlugu ("MAPEG") following their decision not to extend the principal mining operational license of Horzum AS beyond April 15, 2023, and the Akkaya operational exploration license of Pasinex Arama. Since then, negotiations have progressed with MAPEG, and it has now been announced on the MAPEG website that these license applications have now been approved and that these will be renewed for the requested 10-year term. The renewal for Pasinex Arama was subject to certain minor additional information to be provided by Pasinex Arama. This additional information has now been provided and accepted by MAPEG. No additional information has yet been requested for the Horzum AS license. It is expected that the licenses will be signed and issued unconditionally. Further news will be released as and when received.

Gunman Project

Pasinex received permits to commence its phase three drilling program at the Gunman Project and began the drill program on November 13, 2022.

The program is to test a highly prospective two-kilometre zone of mineralized occurrences, hydrothermal alteration and overlapping geochemical and geophysical anomalies. The Company remains on track to meet its spending requirements by the end of 2022, so that it will fulfill its obligations to acquire an initial 51% interest in the Gunman Project.
