Production Update

The Board of Xtract Resources Plc ("Xtract" or the "Company") announces the preliminary unaudited results for all alluvial and hard rock mining contractors for the Manica Concession, for the three-month period ended 30 June 2022 (the "Period").

Highlights

-- Total mining contractor gold production of 54.15Kg for the quarter, equivalent to approximately 1,344 ounces

   --    Total of 10.69Kg (equivalent to approximately 344 ounces) attributable to Explorator 
   --    Value of Explorator share of gold produced US$639,271 
   --    Gold sales in period of 465 ounces 

-- Combined attributable revenue to Explorator from gold sales and other income for the Period amounted to US$642,115

Colin Bird, Executive Chairman said : "The results for the June quarter are fairly consistent with previous quarters with Guy Fawkes slowly opening up areas for production. Fair Bride is now in production and teething problems of the plant and the mine are being reduced and eliminated. We anticipate gold production will increase significantly in the final quarter of this year".

Note 9: Alluvial deposits are the natural concentration of heavy minerals caused by the effect of gravity on moving particles. Various natural actions known as weathering can and did dislodge gold from its hard rock containment. Once the gold is liberated it migrates by gravity and water flow into larger or subsidiary streams. The net effect of this migration into streams is concentration of the gold into gold ore bodies. Presence of gold in alluvial deposits is unpredictable and therefore operational results will vary month-to-month.
