("ACG" or the "Company")

Q3 2024 Operations Update

ACG Metals Limited is pleased to announce its operations update for the third quarter of 2024 ("Q3 2024" or the "Period").

Key Highlights

·    Gediktepe has now achieved 565 LTI-free days and 1,608,452 LTI-free man-hours.

·    Given that pre-stripping typically happens in the first part of the year, the cash generation continues to be weighted to the second half of the year.

·    The Gediktepe Mine mined 173,972 tonnes of ore, a decrease from the last quarter, as the stockpile was used to feed the plant. This resulted in 294,989 tonnes of ore processed in Q3 2024 which is in-line with expectations. The average Gold grade was 2 g/t and Silver grade was 74 g/t.

·    Gediktepe produced 15,397 oz of Gold and 222,493 oz of Silver resulting in 18,178 oz of Gold Equivalent for the quarter.

·    C1 costs have remained within the budget at $455 per ounce, with all-in sustaining costs of $1,069 per ounce. The mine is currently ahead of budget for Q3 and the year-to-date.

Artem Volynets, Chairman and CEO of ACG, said:

"This is our first quarter since acquiring Gediktepe and we are managing the transition efficiently. Operations continue to perform well and in-line with expectations, producing 18,178 oz of Gold Equivalent for the quarter.

Safety is our top priority and we are incredibly proud to have continued operating with no LTIs for the whole production period since our first gold pour.

We have added high-calibre project management leadership to our strong operational team on site. The combined team is implementing the value adding opportunities identified in our due diligence."
