• Demonstrated financial capacity to continue business growth either through organic growth or M&A activity via value

accretive opportunities or a more aggressive approach to capital management.

• Yaouré Gold Mine Ore Reserves increased to 37.2 million tonnes of ore grading 1.73 g/t gold and containing 2.07 Moz

from open pits and underground operations. Life of mine extended to 2035, with potential for further extension.

• Planning is currently underway to upgrade security arrangements and recommence Mineral Resource definition drilling

at Meyas Sand Gold Project in Sudan.

• Perseus’s total economic contribution of ~US$129 million (approximately 58% of revenue) to host countries of Ghana,

Côte d’Ivoire and Sudan during the quarter, supporting its strong social licence to operate in these countries.

Perseus’s Managing Director and CEO Jeff Quartermaine said:

“This quarter, Perseus has produced another excellent operating performance with the Group’s gold production and AISC

outperforming internal targets, placing the Company on a firm footing to once again, achieve or potentially outperform

market guidance for the current Half Year Period ending 31 December 2023.

During the quarter, we also reported adding more ounces of gold to our gold inventory than we depleted through mining

activities in the preceding 12-month period. At Yaouré, our flagship gold mine, not only have we demonstrated our ability to

grow our business through organic means by increasing JORC Compliant Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources, but we have

also extended its operating life to 2035 by adding an underground mining operation to the existing open pit operation.

Our cash balance continues to grow. This quarter, we have added US$72 million to our cash and bullion balance increasing it

to US$594 million. We have zero debt and US$300 million of undrawn debt capacity. As a result, we are in an excellent position

to either continue to grow our business through organic or inorganic means, or actively return capital to shareholders, should

this prove to be a more appropriate use of funds.”

OPERATIONS

PRODUCTION, COSTS AND NOTIONAL CASHFLOW

Perseus’s three operating gold mines, Yaouré and Sissingué in Côte d’Ivoire, and Edikan in Ghana c ombined to produce

132,804 ounces of gold in the September 2023 quarter. The weighted average production cost across all three operations

was US$805 per ounce, while the weighted average AISC incurred during the quarter was US$ 937 per ounce of gold, an

improvement of US$6 per ounce and US$70 per ounce respectively, compared to the June 2023 quarter.

During the quarter, combined gold sales totalled 115,954 ounces, approximately 24,579 or 17.5% less than in the prior

quarter due largely to the timing of sales transactions. The weighted average gold price realised was US$1,936 per ounce,

US$3 per ounce more than the June 2023 quarter price.

Perseus’s average cash margin for the September 2023 quarter was US$999 per ounce, 8% better than the cash margin of

US$926 per ounce achieved during the June 2023 quarter. Notional operating cashflow from operations was US$132 million,

US$5 million more than the June 2023 quarter, driven by the improved gold price achieved and reduced AISC offset slightly

by marginally decreased gold production.

These strong results summarised in Tables 1, 2 and 3 below, confirm Perseus’s position as one of the world’s higher

performing mid-tier gold producers in Calendar Year 2023 to date.

YAOURÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D’IVOIRE

Refer to Table 4 below for details of operating and financial parameters recorded at the Yaouré gold mine during the

September 2023 quarter and relevant prior periods.

During the quarter, Yaouré produced 73,737 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$568 per ounce and an AISC of US$677

per ounce making Yaouré one of the lowest cost pure (i.e. no metal credits applied to AISC) gold mines in the world. Perseus

sold 65,197 ounces of gold during the quarter at a weighted average sales price of US$1,949 per ounce, giving rise to a cash

margin of US$1,272 per ounce. Notional operating cashflow generated by Yaouré during the quarter was US$93 million, or

US$9 million more than in the June 2023 quarter.

The strong operating performance at Yaouré reflected a 4% improvement in the quantity of ore processed due to improved

mill runtime (96% compared to 90%) slightly offset by a slight drop in throughput rates (468 tph compared to 485 tph). A

small increase in the gold recovery rate to 93.1% from 92.4% also contributed while the head grade of processed ore

remained reasonably steady at 2.48 g/t gold compared to 2.54 g/t gold in the previous quarter.

It should be noted that the AISC at Yaouré is likely to rise above current levels in coming periods due to increases in the

quantity of material mined, fuel prices and increases in sustaining capital. While costs will increase, it is not expected that

they will exceed the guided cost range for the Half Year of US$850 to US$950 per ounce.

MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION

During the September 2023 quarter, Perseus processed 20% more ore tonnes at 8% lower grade for an overall increase of

10% in ounces compared to the Mineral Resource model. In the previous 6 and 12 months, Yaouré has produced 1% and

11% more metal respectively than the Mineral Resource model predicted. The performance of the Yaouré Mineral Resource

model to date is considered satisfactory although a close watching brief is being maintained.

The reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained gold relative to the Yaouré Mineral Resource block model

are shown in Table 5.

EDIKAN GOLD MINE, GHANA

Table 6 below summarises the key operating and financial parameters recorded at Edikan during the September 2023

quarter and relevant prior periods.

Edikan produced 48,497 ounces of gold at a production cost of US$905 per ounce and an AISC of US$1,078 per ounce in the

September quarter, with production slightly down from last quarter’s 50,232 ounces (at an AISC of $1,123 per ounce ).

Perseus sold 44,209 ounces at a weighted average realised gold price of US$1,910 per ounce, generating an average cash

margin of US$832 per ounce, that was 4% more than in the prior quarter. However, notwithstanding the higher cash margin,

due to the lower production, notional cashflow of US$40 million was the same as in the prior period.

Quarter on quarter, production KPIs were relatively steady. Processed ore head grade was slightly down (1.06 g/t gold

compared to 1.08 g/t gold), gold recovery rates marginally decreased (91.8% compared to 92.9%), throughput rates slightly

down (764 tph compared to 768 tph) and mill runtime (92% compared to 93%). Despite being marginally down, all KPIs

remained within acceptable tolerance ranges and are quite commendable, considering the unusually h eavy rainfall that

occurred during the quarter. A total of 501 mm (20 inches) of rain fell on the site during the quarter including 282 mm (11.3

inches) of rain in July alone. Pumping capacity was severely tested in July and did require some adjustments to mine

scheduling in order to keep the mill running at full capacity. This was achieved and by quarter end internal quarterly targets

had been exceeded.

MINERAL RESOURCE TO MILL RECONCILIATION

During the September 2023 quarter, grade control predicted slightly less tonnes (-3%), higher grade (+16%) and more ounces

(+12%) when compared to the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

In terms of MRE to mill reconciliation, over the past six months, Edik an has recorded 16% more contained metal than

predicted by the MRE and over the past 12 months, contained gold was 10% more than that predicted by the MRE. Perseus

regards the overall outperformance of Edikan as being within normal industry standards.

Reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained ounces relative to the Edikan Mineral Resource block model is

SISSINGUÉ GOLD MINE, CÔTE D’IVOIRE

The Sissingué complex now involves mining and processing of ore from low-grade stockpiles, remnants of West Arm, Binkadi

and Bagoé pits on the Sissingué Mining Lease along with mining, trucking and processing ore from the satellite Fimbiasso

East and West pits on the Fimbiasso Mining Lease. Table 8 below summarises the key operating and financial parameters

recorded at the Sissingué gold mine complex during the September 2023 quarter and relevant prior periods.

During the quarter, Sissingué experienced especially heavy rainfall on site with more than 766 millimetres (31 inches) falling

during the period, including 327 mm (13 inches) of rain in August alone. This unusually heavy rainfall seriously impacted

mining and associated ore haulage operations.

As a result of the extremely wet conditions, gold production in the quarter was 25% lower than the previous quarter with a

total of 10,570 ounces of gold produced. This production performance was largely driven by an average head grade of

processed ore of 1.04g/t gold which was less than the grade processed last quarter (1.19g/t), and less than the grade of ore

from Fimbiasso that was due to be processed this quarter but was unavailable due to the wet conditions. The lower head

grade of processed ore also impacted gold recovery rates (90.5% compared to 93.0%). Throughput rates (184 tph compared

to 208tph) were also impacted by the wet conditions that prevailed. Mill runtime was reasonably steady at 86% compared

to 87% in the prior quarter.

NEWS RELEASE | SEPTEMBER 2023 QUARTER REPORT

PERSEUSMINING.COM

7

The average AISC of US$2,095 per ounce during the quarter was 16% higher than in the previous quarter, reflecting lower

gold production but also lower capital costs relative to the last quarter associated with establishing a haulage operation to

transport Fimbiasso ore back to the central processing facility. The weighted average sales price of the 6,548 ounces of gold

sold during the quarter was US$1,974 per ounce, giving rise to an average cash margin of negative US$121 per ounce.

Notional cash outflow by the mine during the quarter totalled US$1 million, US$3 million less than the US$2 million inflow

in the prior quarter.

Post quarter end, rainfall has eased at the Sissingué complex and operations have progressively returned to targeted levels.

As a result, gold production and cost guidance for Sissingué for the December 2023 Half Year remain unchanged although

gold production is likely to be close to the bottom end of the guided production range (27,500 to 32,500 ounces) and AISCs

towards the upper end of the guided cost range (US$1,700 to US$1,900 per ounce).

BAGOÉ MINING LEASE

Perseus has lodged all documentation required for assessment of its application for an Exploitation Permit for the Bagoé

Project with the Ivorian Department of Mines, Petroleum and Energy and this data is currently being assessed. Community

consultations with the three regions likely to be impacted by the Bagoé mining operation are now complete with no

objections being raised by any of the affected communities. The Exploitation Permit should be granted on completion of

various inter-departmental interactions and approval by the Council of Ministers in the December 2023 quarter, after which

a Mining Convention covering the operation will be negotiated. Construction of infrastructure required to support a mining

operation at Bagoé will commence as soon as possible following receipt of the Bagoé Mining Lease.

During the September quarter, grade control results ha ve predicted additional tonnes (+10 4%) at higher grade (+18%)

resulting in a 141% increase in overall ounces when compared to the MRE for the combined Sissingué and Fimbiasso mineral

deposits. Over the past six and 12 -month periods, Sissingué has processed 27% and 16% more metal overall dur ing the

periods than estimated by the Mineral Resource model.

Grade control drilling at the Fimbiasso West Pit surpassed expectations by revealing a significant increase in ore quantities

compared to the predictions of the resource model. This unexpected discovery was due to the grade control drilling

intersecting the upper portion of the orebody at a higher elevation (approx. +10), than initially interpreted from the resource

model. The close space drilling used for grade control demonstrated the abilit y to delineate the ore, outperforming the

broad space exploration drilling for this purpose. This approach in drilling not only reaffirms the significance of precision,

but also highlights the nature of ore distribution within the geological setting.

At greater depths, the resource model and grade control model conform, enhancing our confidence in the accuracy of

geological modelling going forward. This reinforces the reliability of our understanding of subsurface geology.

The reconciliation of processed ore tonnes, grade and contained ounces of gold relative to the Sissingué Complex Mineral

Resource block models is in Table 9 below.
