Peter Akerley, Erdene’s President and CEO stated, “We delivered another quarter of improved performance, achieving gold production of 11,709 ounces at Bayan Khundii, a 37% increase over the previous quarter, driven by stronger mining performance and continued steady operation of the process plant. The average processed ore grade rose 25% during the quarter, reflecting enhanced ore control and mine-to-mill practices that significantly reduced dilution and ore loss.”

Mr. Akerley continued, “In parallel, Erdene made strong progress at our wholly-controlled precious and base metal projects in the Khundii and Oyu Tolgoi districts. Technical work is well advanced on the Zuun Mod preliminary economic assessment, expected to be released in mid-H2 2026 with geophysics and drilling planned later this year to test the copper potential of the Khuvyn Khar project on the license. At the Tereg Uul property, adjacent to the Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold system, our maiden drill program confirmed anomalous gold and silver mineralization along a 1.5 kilometre trend at the Web prospect, while deeper drilling intersected native copper and anomalous gold. Based on these encouraging results, we have extended our option on this property for another year.”
