Almadex Announces Early Repayment of Gold Loan

VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. (“Almadex” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: “DEX”) announces that

Almaden Minerals Ltd. (“ Almaden”) has notified the Company of the early repayment of the outstanding

gold loan pursuant to the secured gold loan agreement, as amended (“Gold Loan”), between Almaden and

the Company (see press releases dated June 27, 2024 and May 14, 2019).

Under the terms of the Gold Loan, the “Gold Loan Value” was fixed as of May 13, 2025 and the outstanding

loan balance (including accrued interest and standby fees) determined to be USD$5,194,354 (the “ Loan

Amount”). Almaden will repay the Loan Amount by physical delivery of gold bullion of 99.99% purity to the

Company. The delivery of gold shall be completed after Almaden receives the final payment on the sale of

its Rock Creek mill (the “ Mill”) to Metals Exploration PLC pursuant to the purchase agreement dated

February 28, 2025 (see press release of Almaden dated March 3, 2025), which is expected to be on or

before August 31, 2025 (the “Settlement Date”). The amount of gold (the “Borrowed Gold”) to be delivered

by Almaden will be determined based on the prevailing London Bullion Market Association AM gold price

in U.S. dollars on the business day prior to the Settlement Date. In addition to the Borrowed Gold, Almaden

will return the undrawn portion of the Gold Loan, consisting of 397 ounces of gold bullion.

The Loan Amount is secured by a security interest and first lien on certain equipment related to the Mill

(collectively, the “ Security”). Upon repayment of the Loan Amount by Almaden to the Company , the

Security shall be deemed fully released and discharged.
