Shareholder Notices

Overview
Blue Gold is currently in a lease dispute with the Government of Ghana relating to its Bogoso Prestea mining leases. On 20 September 2024, the Minerals Commission of Ghana issued a notice of termination of the leases, which the Company disputes.

Current status
Discussions to resolve the lease dispute are ongoing with the Government of Ghana. In parallel, Blue Gold Holdings Limited has commenced international arbitration proceedings against the Republic of Ghana to protect the Company's legal rights and the interests of its shareholders.

Impact on the Company's strategy
Subject to resolving the lease dispute with the Government of Ghana, the first phase of the Company's strategy is to restart Bogoso Prestea production, initially focused on oxide material, followed by a second phase move to processing refractory material. In the short term,the Company's intention is to start producing gold as soon as practicable by processing open pit oxide and high gravity underground material in order to support the transition to new mining techniques. Blue Gold also plans to commence a definitive feasibility study as part of the planned transition of the mine to processing refractory material in the medium term. Any restart of production at Bogoso Prestea, and the implementation of the Company's broader strategy for the project, is subject to resolution of the lease dispute and the outcome of the international arbitration proceedings.

Status: Ongoing. International arbitration commenced; commercial discussions with the Government of Ghana continue in parallel. The Company will provide updates through its regular news releases and regulatory filings as material developments occur.
