Recent Company Highlights

On September 7, 2022, Moneta released the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) results for its 100% owned Tower Gold project in Timmins, Ontario, Canada’s most prolific gold producing camp. The PEA demonstrates the potential to develop a low-cost 19,200 tonnes per day (“tpd”), or 7.0 million tonne per annum (“tpa”), combined open pit and underground mining operation with strong economics and the opportunity for significant benefit to the Indigenous Nations, local stakeholders, and shareholders. Highlights included:

• Robust economics with an after-tax Net Present Value (“NPV5%”) of C$1,066 million, Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 31.7%, and pay-back of 2.6 years at US$1,600/oz gold and FX of US$0.78/C$
• Low capital intensity project achieved by a sequenced development strategy, with underground development starting in year 1
• Mine life of 24 years, with average annual gold production of 192,666 ounces (“oz”) for total LOM of 4,581,000 oz, and average annual gold production of 261,014 oz in years 1 to 11, with peak production of 368,622 oz
• LOM cash cost of US$910/oz and all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) of US$1,073/oz, with cash cost of US$811/oz and AISC of US$1,004/oz for years 1 to 11
• Several opportunities to improve PEA including, expansion of underground resources and throughput, mill expansion (notably after year 11), and site layout optimization

The Company has started pre-feasibility work, including environmental base-line studies, community engagement, geotechnical and hydrological studies, as well as additional metallurgical recovery test-work, and will continue resource upgrade and infill drilling over the next year.
