Monument Achieves Commercial Production at Selinsing Gold Mine

Vancouver, B.C., September 22 , 2023, Monument Mining Limited (TSX -V: MMY and FSE: D7Q1)

("Monument" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that commercial production has been achieved

at the Selinsing Gold Mine in Malaysia that has operated 30 days consecutive production of gold

concentrate at 90% of designed capacity.

Cathy Zhai, President and CEO of Monument Mining commented: "We are very pleased to announce this

landmark event at the Selinsing gold mine. After 12 years gold bullion production that generated positive

cash flow, now the Gold Sulphide Project will continue the legacy, based on such we move forward to the

Murchison Gold Project and the corporate development as well . We thank the Monument Mining team

and contractor partners for their dedication and hard work to achieve this commercial production

milestone.”

Commercial Production Update

The throughput of the sulphide gold treatment plant achieved 90% of design capacity for the 30-day

period up to August 16, 2023 , thereby achieving the requirement for commercial production. Mill

availability during this period was 94% and flotation mass pull was acceptable at 3.4% vs design of 3.5%.

As a result concentrate production was at 79 tonnes per day in line with the designed protocol, considered

satisfactory given the variability of the transition ore processed.

Flotation gold recovery was somewhat inconsistent due to the high clay content of freshly mined

transition ore and the processing of stockpiled transition ore mixed with oxides that gave very poor

flotation response. Daily recoveries in excess of 80% were recorded but overall gold recovery of 61.4%

was reported for the 30 -day period up to August 16, 2023. Optimization of the flotation reagent suite

continued with particular attention to the addition of soda ash for pH control, potassium amyl xanthate

as flotation collector and sodium hexametaphosphate as slimes depressant. Issues experienced with the

flotation air blowers were resolved after troubleshooting by Atlas Copco technicians.

Frequent failure of the pressure filter cloths continues to be an issue. New higher permeability filter cloths

have been sourced from local and international vendors as well as from the filter press supplier

McLanahan in the US. The lead time for filter cloth orders is not acceptable for a six -month period. The

Company has communicat ed with the supplier to resolve this issue while alternative suppliers are

selected. Replacement filter plates have also been ord ered from McLanahan to replace those that have

worn prematurely, and Regular cleaning of filter cloths and plates improved the overall efficiency of the

filter press operation.

Construction of the concentrate shed was completed.

Gold Concentrate Shipments and Sales

To date the flotation plant has produced over 9,100 dry metric tonnes (“DMT”) of gold concentrate at an

average grade of 37.5 g/t Au.

Offtake agreements have been signed with selected buyers and a total of 6,550 DMT of concentrate

shipment are currently in progress. The Company has obtained export permits for all selected buyers,

renewable every six months. The sales and logistics teams are organized, trained and the documentation

and control process including security system has also been developed.

Mining Update

Mining of Buffalo Reef Stage 1 BRC2 and BRC3 pits have continued with both transition and fresh ore

delivered to the ROM pad. Extended hours have been introduced for waste drilling and mining. Objective

of mining is set to accelerate daily mining rate and build up enough stockpiles before Monsoon season.

A new grade control drill rig was delivered in August 2023 and ten rigs are now on site. The drilling

contractor has mobilized additional drillers and initiated training of drill offsiders to facilitate extended

drill hours.

Construction of the explosive depot was completed, and the facility commissioned in July 2023 to

accommodate shortage of explosive deliveries . A 13-tonne capacity emulsion tanker has been based at

the mine site and blasting has been carried out on up to five days per week depending on drilling progress.

The old core shed has been converted to an expanded sample preparation facility capable of processing

up to 700 grade control samples per day . The new facility was successfully commissioned, and new

technicians have been recruited to handle the increased workload. New pulverisers have been ordered

and the first unit was delivered in early September 2023.

Process Improvements

Ongoing effort has been devoted to further improve the performance of the concentrate plant.

New HDPE pipework was installed for the concentrate thickener underflow pipeline. Pumps from the

previous CIL operation have been repurposed for the concentrate thickener overfl ow. Larger diameter

pipelines were ordered for the concentrate thickener overflow and for the flotation cleaner concentrate.

Design work was completed for the concentrate launders and the new flotation rougher tailings hopper

with associated structural, civil, mechanical and piping works. Tender quotations were requested from

various local engineering companies for these process improvements and contracts are in preparation for

the successful tenderers.

Risks

Operation risks in related to mining and processing processes are under continuous evaluation to improve

the performance. The Company closely monitors uncontrollable risk factors with operation of the flotation

plant including but not limited to, change of market conditions, change of gold prices, operation risks

including critical parts shorta ges, and changes in regulatory restrictions in relation to arsenic level

contained in gold concentrate.
