("Golden" or the "Company") (OTCQB:AUMN)(TSX:AUMN) today announced the completion
of the previously announced sale of its Velardeña oxide processing plant and water wells,

The transaction closed on October 10, 2025, with a total purchase price of US$3.0 million
plus applicable value-added tax (VAT). The Buyer had made payments of approximately
