• Mill feed grade for Q2 2025 was 3.12 g/tAu with recovery at 93.1%.

• A total of 238,425 tonnes of ore were processed with no significant downtime periods. 

• The process plant maintained good recovery performance in Q2 2025 reducing the gold in circuit ("GIC") by 555 oz of gold.

• The stockpile balance decreased by 0.74% to 41,092 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 0.84g/tAu. The significant stockpile available offers flexibility and low risk for future process plant production.

Segilola Exploration

• The focus was on Segilola Underground Resource drilling and developing near mine drill targets as the Company works to extend the current Segilola mine life.

• A diamond drilling program continued during Q2 2025, with 4,418 metres ("m") completed in 12 holes to test the depth extensions of the Segilola deposits.

• The drilling continued subsequently to the end of the Period and will continue through to the end of the calendar year.

• Following the arrival of three drilling rigs at Segilola post period end, purchased earlier this year, the Company now intends to increase its rate of exploration drilling once they have been commissioned.

• The Company is now aiming to define an updated resource for Segilola by the end of 2025.

• Regional exploration activities progressed in Q2 2025:

• The Company continued with geochemical target generation, mainly south of Segilola, with a total of 5,051 geochemical samples collected in the Period.

• Exploration activity included a drone aeromagnetic survey over the Company's existing and new tenure located to the south of the Segilola Mine. A total of 26 square kilometres ("km²") was covered during the Period and the data submitted to Southern Geoscience for processing and interpretations.

• A follow-up drilling program designed to test surrounding geochemical signatures and potential extensions along strike commenced towards the end of the Period.

Douta Gold Project - Senegal

• During Q2 2025, the Company commenced and subsequently completed a 12,000m drilling program at the Baraka 3 Prospect in its Douta-West Licence, which lies contiguous to the west of the original Douta licence.

• It is anticipated that the assay results from the drilling program will be fully received in Q3 2025, following which a Baraka 3 resource will be incorporated into the existing Douta Resource.

• The Company's strategy is to combine both the Douta and Douta-West licences and scale up the size of a combined Douta Project for the Douta Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS").

• As part of the Company's strategy of delineating an initial 500,000 oz oxide resource at the start of the Douta mine life, metallurgical test work was carried out in Q2 2025 with encouraging initial results.

• Subject to finalising metallurgical tests on the Baraka ore, the Company anticipates that incorporating the Baraka resource into the Douta project will enable the Company to satisfy or exceed the oxide target.

Côte d'Ivoire

• At the Guitry Project, the Company completed a 3,000m drilling program at the Krakouadiokro target, with the initial set of results (announced following the end of the Period) confirming gold mineralisation at depth.

• Highlights of the assay results received to date include 14m at 2.59g/tAu from surface, 4m at 6.87 g/tAu from 38m, 5m at 7.48 g/tAu from 5m and 10m at 10.36g/t Au from 57m.

• Further exploration at the Krakouadiokro Prospect will include both infill and step-out drilling.

• Drilling will also commence on numerous geochemical anomalies at both the Krakouadiokro and Gbaloukro Prospects, many of which remain untested or only partially tested.

• Exploration work at the Marahui Project has included further geological mapping and geological sampling, with more than 250 samples collected and encouraging initial results returned. This exploration work has has generated several prospective drill targets.

• The Company is to carry out an airborne magnetic survey, and has designed a 6,000m drilling program to commence late in Q3 2025.

Environment, Social and Governance

• Continued operational efficiencies achieved through the process plant upgrades implemented in 2024 have resulted in environmental benefits:

• Use of fresh process water (ML/tonne ore processed) continued to decrease, supported by an 84% year-on-year increase in reclaimed water volumes from the Tailings Management Facility.

• Energy intensity (GJ/oz gold produced) improved to 1.84 GJ/oz, compared to 1.90 GJ/oz in Q2 2024.

• Emissions intensity (tCO₂e/oz gold produced) decreased to 0.51, down from 0.55 in the same period of 2024.

• Notable milestones with respect to the Company's corporate ESG activities for Q2 2025 include:

• Completion and commissioning of the Oba's palace, which also serves as a community meeting hall.

• Delivery of nine minibuses (three per host community) to community-managed transport cooperatives under the Youth Initiative Programme.

• Hosting of the inter-host community football competition in May, with eight men's and four women's teams participating for trophies and cash prizes.

• As at June, 30, 2025, total employment at the Segilola Mine stood at 2,125, 99% of which are Nigerian. Of this figure, 48% are from Osun State, and 27% of the workforce is from three host communities surrounding the mine.

• In Senegal, the ASR Douta team supported local initiatives through sponsorship of an academic award for the top-performing student at a local primary school and through food donations made during the Eid celebrations.

Outlook

• FY2025 production guidance of 85,000 to 95,000 oz maintained, while AISC guidance remains at US$800 to US$1,000 per oz.

• Advance exploration program across the portfolio:

• Segilola: continuation of ongoing underground drilling program.

• Nigeria: continuation of scout drilling programs on identified near-mine and regional targets.

• Senegal (Douta Project): Assay results from drilling program at Baraka 3 prospect to be incorporated into the Douta PFS mine plan.

• Côte d'Ivoire: Exploration being advanced on the Guitry, Marahui and Boundiali licenses, with further drilling to occur on Guitry and drilling to commence on Marahui where drill targets have been delineated.

• Continued advancement of the Douta project towards an updated resource and PFS.

Segun Lawson, President & CEO, stated:

"I am pleased with the Company's operational performance for the second quarter and first half of 2025, with record quarterly figures across revenue, EBITDA and net profit. We were unhedged and exposed to the high gold price environment, resulting in a record-breaking quarter. Revenue in Q2 2025 increased by 54% year on year, with net profit rising by 50% year on year. We ended the Period more than doubling our net cash position from the previous quarter to US$52.8 million.

"These financial achievements are not only reflective of a favourable gold price, but our continued cost discipline and operational efficiencies. During the Quarter, we produced and sold over 22,700 ounces of gold at an average price of US$3,187 per ounce, with a recovery rate of 93.1%.

"Exploration work has progressed at Segilola, with a focus on Segilola Underground Resource drilling as the company works to extend the current Segilola mine life. A drilling program is ongoing, which has been evolving to test different interpretations of the down dip mineralisation at Segilola. We will continue to drill through to the end of the calendar year when we aim to define an updated resource for Segilola.

"We are also continuing with our regional exploration in Nigeria, with geochemical target generation resulting in a follow-up drilling program which commenced towards the end of the Period.

"At the Douta Project in Senegal, the Period saw the commencement and completion of a 12,000m drilling campaign at the Baraka 3 Prospect, in the Douta-West license. We expect to receive assay results in Q3 2025, which will be fed into the existing Douta Resource. This is part of our strategy to combine both the Douta and Douta-West licences and scale up the size of a combined Douta Project for the Douta Pre-Feasibility Study.

"In Côte d'Ivoire, we completed a drilling program at the Guitry Project, with initial results confirming gold mineralisation at depth. Further drilling at Guitry, as well as initial drilling at Marahui, where targets have been delineated, is due to commence following the rainy season in late Q3 2025.

"We have been encouraged by our exploration results to date across the entire portfolio and have increased our exploration budget for the remainder of the year. In doing so, we believe we are well positioned to deliver value to our shareholders.

"Looking ahead, our operational guidance for 2025 remains unchanged at 85,000 to 95,000 ounces of gold at an AlSC of $800-$1,000 per ounce. I look forward to updating shareholders in due course on our continued progress on exploration and further developments across our project portfolio."

3. PROFIT FROM OPERATIONS

3a. REVENUE

Gold revenue

The Group`s revenue is generated in Nigeria. All sales are made to the Group`s two customers. However, because gold can be sold through numerous gold market traders worldwide (including a large number of financial institutions), the Group is not economically dependent on a limited number of customers for the sale of its product.

Forward contracts

As at June 30, 2025, the Group had no outstanding gold forward contracts (December 31, 2024: 5,500 ounces at an average gold price of $2,277 per ounce). The contracts were entered into to manage exposure to fluctuations in the gold price.

The Group does not apply hedge accounting to these instruments. Accordingly, the forward contracts were measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of forward contracts was nil at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: liability of $1.9 million), with the liability previously recognized within other financial liabilities.

3b. COST OF SALES

3c. AMORTIZATION AND DEPRECIATION

3d. OTHER ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES

4. INVENTORIES

There were no write downs to reduce the carrying value of inventories to net realizable value during the periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.

5. AMOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The value of receivables recorded on the balance sheet is approximate to their recoverable value and there are no expected material credit losses.

6. LEASES

Leases relate principally to corporate offices and the mining fleet at the Segilola mine. Corporate offices are depreciated over 5 years and mining fleet over the life of mine of Segilola.

The key impacts on the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position for the period ended June 30, 2025, were as follows:

The key impacts on the Statement of Comprehensive Income and the Statement of Financial Position for the year ended June 30, 2024, were as follows:

7. GOLD STREAM LIABILITY

Gold stream liability

On April 29, 2020, the Group entered into a Gold Purchase and Sale Agreement ("GSA") with the Africa Finance Corporation ("AFC") in respect of the Segilola Gold Project, under which the Group received a $21.0 million prepayment for future gold production. In December 2021, the GSA was amended to allow for net cash settlement rather than physical delivery of gold.

The arrangement is accounted for as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss, with changes in fair value recognized in the statement of profit or loss. As at June 30, 2025, the fair value of the GSA liability was nil.

As at June 30, 2025, a liability of $17.1 million is included in accounts payable (December 31, 2024: $9.3 million). Further details are provided in Note 3d of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

8. LOANS AND BORROWINGS

Deferred payment facility on EPC contract for the construction of the Segilola Gold Mine

The Group has constructed its Segilola Gold Mine through an engineering, procurement, and construction contract ("EPC Contract"). The EPC Contract has been agreed on a lump sum turnkey basis which provides Thor with a fixed price of $67.5 million for the full delivery of design, engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of the proposed 715,000 ton per annum gold ore processing plant.

The EPC Contract included a deferred element ("the Deferred Payment Facility") of 10% of the fixed price. The 10% deferred element was repayable in instalments over a 36-month period by repaying an amount on a series of repayment dates, as set out in the Deferred Payment Facility. Repayments commenced in March 2022. Interest accrued on the deferred amount at 8% per annum from the date the Facility Taking-Over Certificate was issued.

The final instalment under the Deferred Payment Facility was paid in full during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, and no further amounts are outstanding.

9. PROVISIONS

The restoration costs provision is for the site restoration at Segilola Gold Project in Osun State Nigeria. The value of the above provision is measured by unwinding the discount on expected future cash flows using a discount factor that reflects the credit-adjusted risk-free rate of interest.

It is expected that the restoration costs will be paid in US dollars, and as such US forecast inflation rates of 2.5% and the interest rate of 4.25% on 2-year US bonds were used to calculate the expected future cash flows, which are in line with the life of mine. The provision represents the net present value of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation to rehabilitate environmental disturbances caused by mining operations at mine closure.

The fleet demobilization costs provision is the value of the cost to demobilize the mining fleet upon closure of the mine.

10. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

a) Segilola production stripping cost:

During the period ended June 30, 2025, the Group capitalized nil (year ended December 31, 2024: $0.7 million) of production stripping costs to the Segilola mine.

The depreciation expense related to production stripping costs deferred for the period ended June 30, 2025, was $1.1 million (year ended December 31, 2024 - $2.4 million).

Included in the Segilola mine balance at June 30, 2025, is $16.2 million (December 31, 2024 - $16.2 million) related to production stripping costs.

11. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Group's exploration and evaluation assets costs are as follows:

a) Douta Gold Project, Senegal:

The Douta Gold Project consists of two gold exploration permits, E02038 and E03709, located within the Kéniéba inlier, eastern Senegal, which it is currently advancing to preliminary feasibility stage.

The Group is party to an option agreement (the "Option Agreement") with International Mining Company ("IMC"), by which the Group has acquired a 70% interest in the Douta Gold Project.

Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, IMC's 30% interest will be a "free carry" interest until such time as the Group announces probable reserves on the Douta Gold Project (the "Free Carry Period"). Following the Free Carry Period, IMC must either elect to sell its 30% interest to African Star at a purchase price determined by an independent valuer commissioned by African Star or fund its 30% share of the exploration and operating expenses.

On April 3, 2025, the Group completed the acquisition of two additional licenses in southeast Senegal to further advance the Douta Gold Project. These include an up to 85% interest in the Douta-West Licence, located contiguous to the Douta Gold Project, for $120,000, and an up to 80% interest in the Sofita Licence, approximately 20 kilometers south of Douta. These strategic acquisitions have been fully paid during the year ended December 31, 2025 and are intended to enhance and expand the Group's ongoing exploration efforts in Douta Gold Project.

b) Lithium exploration Licenses, Nigeria

Financial instruments by category

The accounting policies for financial instruments have been applied to the line items below:

The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value.

As noted above, the Group has certain financial liabilities that are held at fair value. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques to measure fair value:

Classification of financial assets and liabilities

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
