Liquidity and Capital Resources

GMIN has cash and cash equivalents of $104.6 million as at September 30, 2024 with available equipment financing facility credit of $7.8 million to finance the purchase of equipment related to sustaining capital.

The cash balance as at September 30, 2024 reflects the gross proceeds of $50.0 million received from private placements and $55.9 million received from the exercise of warrants and options during the nine month period ending at the same date.

TZ Mine Review

In Q3-2024, GMIN produced 22,071 oz of gold at TZ and sold 17,144 oz, with the rest sold in October.

At the end of Q3-2024 gold in-circuit inventory of 1,348 ounces was cumulated. The plant achieved several days above 100% of nameplate capacity and we continue to work on increasing plant availability. All aspects of the process plant including crushing, gravity, flotation and leaching circuits are performing well having yielded an average recovery of 84.5% for Q3-2024 with higher recoveries of approximately 90% targeted for Q4-2024 in line with estimates in the Feasibility Study (" FS ") dated February 09, 20224.

During the third quarter of 2024, the

drilling programs at the mine focused on regional exploration targets. These targets were identified through geophysics, geochemical soil anomalies, general knowledge of the Tapajos Region and evidence of past artisanal mining and are part of GMIN's exploration strategy to extend the mine life and add additional deposits within 15 km of the mine infrastructure.

Oko West Project Review

On July 15, 2024, the Corporation announced that the transaction between GMIN and Reunion Gold Corporation has been completed, representing the addition of the Guyana-based Oko West gold project, into the Corporation's portfolio of high-quality gold assets.

During Q3-2024, GMIN also reported preliminary economic assessment (" PEA ") results for the Oko West gold project, demonstrating after-tax net present value at 5% of US$1.4 billion, internal rate of return of 21% and a payback period of 3.8 years at $1,950/oz base case gold price (long-term consensus). The average annual gold production is estimated to be 353,000 ounces at an AISC of $986/oz over a 12.7-year mine life. The initial capital cost is estimated to be $936 million, with sustaining capital costs of $537 million over the life of mine (see news release dated September 9, 2024).

This year, the exploration and drilling strategy focused on expanding resources at Oko West to better delineate mineralized structures within the pit footprints and to explore the Oko West property to identify other deposits on the land package. During the quarter, a definition drilling program was completed at Oko West in support of the upcoming Feasibility Study. Additionally, a new regional exploration drilling program began at Oko West to investigate structures identified through geophysics and geochemical soil anomalies.

Corporate

Update and Outlook

GMIN continues to execute its "Buy. Build. Operate." strategy. The Corporation's strategic focus remains identifying and developing quality advanced-stage precious metals projects in Tier 1 jurisdictions that demonstrate a path to near-term production.

In Q3-2024, GMIN entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire tenements in the Gurupi Gold Belt from wholly owned subsidiaries of BHP Group Limited ("BHP"). In consideration for the acquisition, the Corporation granted BHP a 1.0% NSR royalty on the first million ounces of gold produced at the tenements and a 1.5% NSR royalty on gold production thereafter (the " Transaction "), which is expected to result in little to no share dilution. The Transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2025, which is expected to be followed by the publication of a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant resource also planned for the first quarter of 2025.

At TZ, the objective for the remainder of the year is to continue ramping up plant throughput towards the nominal nameplate capacity of 12,890 tpd, with Q4-2024 gold production outlook expected to be between 30,000 and 40,000 oz of gold. GMIN plans to provide 2025 annual production and cost guidance in January 2025.

Mining activities are performing according to plan and procurement activities for the addition of a third primary loading unit and three additional mine trucks to bring the fleet size to 19 will be completed during Q4-2024. Commissioning of these additional units is anticipated in the second half of 2025, which will allow the mine to reach a mining rate of 77,150 tpd in 2025.

At Oko West, GMIN plans to submit the environmental and social impact assessment for the project during the fourth quarter of 2024, while advancing towards a FS in Q1-2025.

Several FS workstreams are in progress at Oko West. These workstreams include the completion of infill drilling and updated mineral resource estimates; geotechnical recommendations for the open pit slopes and underground workings; mine design optimization, mineral reserve estimation, production planning and final equipment selection;

metallurgical test work programs to support the FS level engineering, flowsheet design, recovery expectations and equipment selection; and procurement activities related to long lead items such as primary crusher, grinding mills and power generators will be an immediate focus along with several packages to support early works activities.

the quoted comments and expectations of GMIN's President & Chief Executive Officer; and * more generally, the sections entitled "Corporate Update and Outlook" and "About G Mining Ventures Corp.".

Forward-looking statements are based on expectations, estimates and projections as of the time of this press release. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Corporation as of the time of such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. These estimates and assumptions may prove to be incorrect. Such assumptions include, without limitation, those relating to the price of gold and currency exchange rates, those outlined in the feasibility and other technical studies (e.g., the PEA) relating to the TZ mine and GMIN's other projects, and those underlying the items listed on the above sections entitled "Corporate Update and Outlook" and "About G Mining Ventures Corp.".

Many of these uncertainties and contingencies can directly or indirectly affect, and could cause, actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in any forward-looking statements.
