("AltynGold" or the "Company")

Q1 2026 Production and Operational update

AltynGold (LSE:ALTN), a leading exploration and development gold miner operating in Kazakhstan, is pleased to announce its production and operational update for the three months to 31 March 2026 ("Q1 2026" or the "Period").

Production and revenues

Q1 2026 was another strong operational quarter for AltynGold. Ore mined (213kt) and milled (235kt) reflected a 2% and 15% year-over-year (YoY) increase, respectively, underscoring robust productivity at the Sekisovskoye mine.

Gold sold surged 29% YoY to 11,532 ounces, driving a 122% YoY revenue increase to US$56.3 million, supported by higher sales volumes and strong gold prices.

In Q1 2026, AltynGold executed planned mining of upper horizons (5-5 and 6-8) to address a vertical gap in its main ore bodies, which temporarily impacted the average mined grade from 2.04g/t to 1.73g/t. This work was completed in April, and gold grades have since returned to normal levels, consistent with the 2026 mine plan.

With stable production, improved grades, and strong gold prices, AltynGold remains confident in its outlook for the remainder of 2026. The Company is focused on delivering operational targets while advancing medium-term expansion plans to increase processing capacity at Sekisovskoye.

Operational upgrade

During the period, AltynGold strengthened its operational infrastructure at Sekisovskoye, launching a new on-site laboratory in April. Equipped with modern analytical tools and staffed by 35 professionals, the lab expands in-house testing capabilities, improving turnaround times and supporting data-driven decision-making across production, grade monitoring, and processing efficiency.

Sekisovskoye Growth Plan

Following the December 2024 upgrade, the processing plant now operates at its maximum capacity of 1Mtpa. AltynGold is advancing plans for a second-stage expansion to 2Mtpa and expects to update the market in the coming months.
