TORONTO, Dec. 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to announce the key findings from the Company’s Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the high-grade Oko Gold Project (“Oko” or the “Project”) in Guyana, South America.
Daniel Noone, CEO of G2, stated, “This PEA places the Oko Project firmly within one of the most attractive development projects globally. The PEA demonstrates the Project has the potential to generate very significant annual production at an average AISC cost of US$1,137/oz and is hosted in mining-friendly Guyana which actively promotes the development of large-scale gold mining. Moreover, the Project tenements host significant exploration potential, with multiple drill programs active across various adjacent and near-mine targets. We will be aggressively moving the Oko Project to feasibility and construction as we continue to explore this emerging gold mining district.”
Overview
The PEA outlines a combined open pit (“OP”) and underground (“UG”) operation with a 14-year life of mine (“LOM”), based on drilling completed up to August 31, 2025, incorporating 1.6 million ounces of gold in the Indicated category and 1.9 million ounces of gold in the Inferred category, with production averaging 281,000 ounces per year from years 2 through 11. Total production over the entire 14-year mine life is estimated at 3.2 million ounces gold with an industry leading all-in sustaining cost¹ (“AISC”) of $1,191 per ounce ($1,137 per ounce from years 2-11). Oko is envisaged as a mix of conventional OP mining and mechanized long hole open stoping UG mining, with on-site treatment of the mined material processed through a conventional circuit consisting of comminution, gravity concentration, cyanide leach and adsorption via carbon- in-leach (“CIL”), carbon elution and gold recovery circuits. The OP mine is anticipated to have a LOM of six years, including 2 years of pre-stripping, while the UG mine is anticipated to have a LOM of 14 years, including 18 months of development. The PEA is based upon the Company’s updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) with an effective date of November 20, 2025. A technical report (the "Technical Report") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) will be filed on the Company’s website and under its SEDAR+ profile within 45 days of this news release.

Mineral Resource Estimate
The PEA is based on the updated MRE presented in Table 3 below, totalling 1.6 million ounces gold (Indicated) and 1.9 million ounces gold (Inferred) from five deposits: Oko Main Zone (“OMZ”), Ghanie, Northwest Oko (“Oko NW”), North Oko (“Oko N”) and the New Oko Discovery. The bulk of the gold mineralization lies along a prominent 2.5 km long north-south structure comprised of the high-grade OMZ deposit and a bulk mineable, disseminated mineral resource at Ghanie. Importantly, OMZ includes high-grade UG Indicated mineral resources of 741,600 ounces at 13.63 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au”) and 522,100 ounces at 6.77 g/t Au. The New Oko Discovery lies approximately 8.5 km to the north of these deposits and was only discovered in March 2025.
The MRE includes all drilling data obtained up to the end of August 2025 with a total inventory of 666 drill holes across 170,329 metres. The estimate was prepared by Micon International Limited (“Micon”) in accordance with NI 43-101 with an effective date of November 20, 2025.

Notes to Table 3:
1. The effective date of this MRE is November 20, 2025.
2. The MRE presented above uses economic assumptions for both surface mining in saprolite and fresh rock, and underground mining in fresh rock only.
3. The MRE has been classified in the Indicated and Inferred categories following spatial continuity analysis and geological confidence. There are no Measured resources at the Oko Project this time.
4. Density varied regolith and weathering with ranges from 1.420 g/cm3 to 1.629 g/cm3 in the saprolite, 1.880 g/cm3 to 2.320 g/cm3 in the saprock and 2.650 g/cm3 to 2.763 g/cm3 in the fresh rock.
5. The calculated gold cut-off grades to report the MRE for surface mining vary from 0.23 g/t Au to 0.48 g/t Au in saprolite, and 0.28 g/t Au to 0.30 g/t Au in fresh rock. For underground mining the reporting cut-off grades vary in fresh rock from 1.21 g/t Au to 1.30 g/t Au.
6. The following economic parameters were used for generating cut-off grades:
• A gold price of US$2,500/oz.
• Metallurgical recoveries for the New Oko Discovery deposit are 93% in saprolite and 95% in fresh rock, for the North Oko and Oko Main deposits are 98% in saprolite and 98% in fresh rock, for the Ghanie are 96% in saprolite and 91% in fresh rock, and for Northwest Oko deposit are 48% in saprolite and 48% in fresh rock.
• Densities
• Mining open pit costs of US$2.5/t in saprolite and US$2.75/t in fresh rock were used with underground mining costs of US$75.0/t.
• Processing costs of US$12/t for saprolite and US$15/t for fresh rock.
• A General and Administration cost of US$2.5/t.
• For the New Oko Discovery deposit a transportation cost of $8/oz of gold was added.
• Royalties of 8% for surface mining and 3% for underground mining were applied to all deposits.
7. For surface mining the open pits used slope angles of 27° in saprolite and 47° in fresh rock.
8. The QP has considered that the transition between the OP mining and UG mining scenarios will result in the need for crown pillars. However, at this time, the crown pillars are considered to be recoverable, therefore the QP has considered them as part of the MRE.
9. The Oko Main deposit has had subcontracted mid-scale miners engaged in underground mining operations on the licence in the past. G2 has provided the QP with digitized vertical maps of the voids, as of 2022, and the current mineral resources have been discounted based upon this information. However, there are no updated surveys, maps or production records for the underground mining operations from 2022 to present. G2 is of the belief that there are no subcontracted miners currently present on the Oko, Ghanie and New Oko Discovery claims.
10. The Oko Main and Ghanie block models are orthogonal and use a parent block size of 10 m along strike, 3 m across strike, and 5 m in height, with minimum child block of 2 m x 0.5 m x 1 m. The Northwest Oko block model is rotated to 307 degrees, and uses a parent block size of 10 m along strike, 3 m across strike, and 10 m in height, with a minimum child block of 2 m x 1 m x 2 m. The Oko North block model is rotated 31 degrees, and uses a parent block size of 12 m along strike, 6 m across strike, and 6 m in height, with a minimum child block of 6 m x 1.5 m x 3 m. The New Oko Discovery block model is rotated 60 degrees, and uses a parent block size of 12 m along strike, 3 m across strike, and 3 m in height, with a minimum child block of 6 m x 1.5 m x 1.5 m.
11. The open pit optimization uses a re-blocked size of:
• 9 m long by 10 m wide by 10 m high for the Oko Main and Ghanie deposits.
• 9 m long by 12 m wide by 9 m high for the New Oko Discovery deposit.
• 12 m long by 12 m wide by 12 m high for the North Oko deposit.
• 9 m long by 10 m wide by 10 m high for the Northwest Oko deposit.
12. The underground optimization uses mining shapes of 20 m long by 30 m high for the Oko Main, Ghanie, and New Oko Discovery deposits, with a minimum mining width of 1.5 m.
13. The mineral resources described above have been prepared in accordance with the current Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Standards and Practices.
14. Mr. William J. Lewis, P.Geo. from Micon International Limited is the Qualified Person (QP) for this MRE.
15. Numbers have been rounded to the nearest thousand tonnes and nearest hundred ounces. Differences may occur in totals due to rounding.
16. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves as they have not demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of reported Inferred Mineral Resources are uncertain in nature and there has been insufficient exploration however, it is reasonably expected that a significant portion of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded into Indicated Mineral Resources with further exploration.
17. The QP has not identified any current legal, political, environmental, or other factors that could materially affect the potential development of the MRE.

Mining and Production
Mining at the Project is planned to integrate both conventional open pit mining methods and mechanized long hole open stoping underground mining. The OP mine will have a LOM of six years, including 2 years of pre-stripping, while the UG mine will have a LOM of 14 years, including 18 months of development.
The open pit mine is expected to have a production rate that averages 4,500 tpd over a 14-year LOM. A total of 124.1 Mt of waste rock is planned to be mined, with 5.4 Mt of mineralization in saprolite and 17.4 Mt of mineralization in fresh rock, for a total strip ratio of 5.4:1, at an average grade of 1.03 g/t Au containing 0.75 Moz Au. OP mine designs and production scheduling were developed using optimized pit shells generated at a gold price of US$2,500/oz, with pit shell selection informed by appropriate revenue factor analysis to balance near-term economics and LOM value. The resulting open pit mine plan supports conventional drill-and-blast mining using an owner-operated fleet, with material movement planned to utilize 13 haul trucks and 2 hydraulic excavators.
The UG operation will take place in three areas: OMZ, Ghanie and the New Oko Discovery and will employ a long hole open stoping mining method via ramps, including transverse stoping and longitudinal stoping variations. The average UG production rate is expected to be 1,900 tpd of mineralized material, comprising approximately 1,600 tpd from stope production and 300 tpd from lateral development, from each zone. A total of 21.3 Mt of mineralized material is expected to be mined at an average diluted gold grade of 3.9 g/t Au. UG mine designs were based on the following parameters: a gold price of US$2,500/oz, a minimum mining width of 1.5 meters, and area-specific cut-off grades ranging from 1.215 g/t Au (Oko) to 1.31 g/t Au (Ghanie). The plan incorporates an effective minimum mining width of 3.0 meters (post-dilution) and accounts for mining recovery factors of 95% for longitudinal stoping.

Notes to Figure 5:
- LOM averages for years 2-11; AISC¹ based on a LOM gold price of US$3,000/oz Au
Processing and Recovery
The proposed process plant design for Oko is based on a standard metallurgical flowsheet to treat gold bearing material and produce doré. The process plant is designed to nominally treat 3.6 Mt per year and will consist of comminution, gravity concentration, cyanide leach and adsorption via CIL, carbon elution and gold recovery circuits. CIL tailings will be treated in a cyanide destruction circuit and pumped to a tailings storage facility. During the open pit operational period, the ramp-up period is 6 months.
Table 4: Metallurgical Recoveries
| Feed | Grade (g/t) | Recovery (%) | Mill Feed (%) |
| Saprolite | 0.87 | 93.3 | 12.0 |
| Fresh Rock | 2.60 | 94.1 | 88.0 |
| Total (LOM) | 2.39 | 94.0 | 100.0 |
Operating Costs
LOM total site costs are estimated at approximately $947 per ounce of gold produced, excluding royalty costs, as summarized below. The PEA incorporates two federal royalties: a 3.0% net smelter return (“NSR”) royalty for underground production and an 8.0% NSR royalty for open pit production. Precedence for these royalty rates is achieved from multiple large scale existing mining agreements in Guyana. The LOM AISC¹ is estimated to be $1,191 per ounce of gold produced based on average annual gold production of 228,000 ounces over the 14-year LOM. Average annual production from years 2 through 11 is 281,000 ounces at an AISC¹ of $1,137 per ounce.

Capital Costs
Initial capital costs are estimated at $664 million, including contingencies of $108 million (20%) with LOM sustaining costs estimated at $366 million. These estimates are based on current costs and quotes received from potential local vendors and references and experience from similar operations.
The main components of the $664 million initial capital costs (including contingencies) include: $278 million for the processing plant equipment and buildings plus $56 million indirect costs to construct the process plant, $96 million for mining equipment and surface preparation, $72 million for surface civil and infrastructure, $46 million for capitalized pre-stripping, and $116 million for owner’s costs. The main components of the $366 million sustaining capital expenditures include: $182 million for mining equipment, $74 million for tailings and water treatment, $62 million for process plant equipment, and $48 million contingency.

Environmental and Permitting
With the completion of the PEA, the Company is now able to submit its preliminary mine design to the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to apply for the environmental permit for the Oko Project. The permitting process involves obtaining environmental authorization from the EPA following the submission and approval of an Environmental Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”), which the Company expects to file in Q1 2026.
As part of this process, and over the last two years, G2 has completed comprehensive environmental baseline studies via third party consultants. These studies were designed to recommend actions for effective Project design, regulatory compliance and to support the preparation of an ESIA as part of its environmental license submission. Importantly, the Project area is not designated as a priority conservation site and does not overlap with any protected or Indigenous lands.
The Company anticipates that, based on recent precedents in Guyana, the period from ESIA submission to receiving a temporary environmental permit to begin early works on the Project would be 24 months or less. The Company’s permitting activities will be guided by ongoing stakeholder engagement and government consultations, ensuring compliance with environmental and social international standards.
Workforce
During mine construction, the workforce assumed in the PEA is projected to peak at approximately 1,250 personnel over an estimated 18-month period, in addition to the team required to undertake open-pit pre-stripping activities during the 6 months preceding commercial production. Once in operation, the mine and processing plant are expected to sustain an average workforce of approximately 800 employees. Operations are anticipated to run on a continuous schedule consisting of two 12-hour shifts per day, seven days a week.
Near-Mine Resource Growth Opportunities
Drilling continues to target open extensions of high-grade mineralization found immediately outside mineral resources where assays are pending on drilling with visible gold mineralization confirming the potential to add additional gold ounces (refer to press release dated October 27, 2025). Figure 7 highlights targets that collectively represent a robust pipeline of near-mine growth opportunities. Together they aim to extend known high-grade systems, test new mineralized structures, and build on the strong resource base already established.

Data Validation
The drilling database used to estimate the MRE reported in this press release was reviewed by Micon. A site visit was conducted by William J. Lewis B.Sc. P.Geo., to inspect mineralized intervals, alteration assemblages and QA/QC protocols and to conduct field checks of trenches and to validate drill collars. Database verifications consisted of drill logs (including lithology, alteration, weathering), assay certificates, sample intervals, drill hole collars, downhole survey information and quality control/quality assurance (QA/QC) results validations.
QA/QC
Drill core is logged and sampled in a secure core storage facility located on the Project site, Guyana. Core samples from the program are cut in half, using a diamond cutting saw, and are sent to MSALABS Guyana, in Georgetown, Guyana, which is an accredited mineral analysis laboratory, for analysis. Samples from sections of core with obvious gold mineralisation are analysed for total gold using an industry-standard 500g metallic screen fire assay (MSALABS method MSC 550). All other samples are analysed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA with atomic absorption finish (MSALABS method; FAS-121). Samples returning over 10.0 g/t gold are analysed utilizing standard fire assay gravimetric methods (MSALABS method; FAS-425). Certified gold reference standards, blanks, and field duplicates are routinely inserted into the sample stream, as part of G2 Goldfield’s QA/QC program. No QA/QC issues were noted with the results reported herein.

Cautionary Notes and Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, statements about the anticipated timing of the Technical Report filing, the PEA and MRE, the estimated annual and total production, anticipated grade and recovery, anticipated submission of the ESIA, the receipt of the temporary environmental permit and timing thereof, the potential for Inferred Mineral Resources being upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with further exploration, anticipated workforce, estimated capital costs, operating costs, IRR, NPV5%, AISC, operating cash costs, royalty costs, the future price of gold, cash flow, payback period, LOM and other future financial or operating performance of G2 and the Project, the advancement of the Project towards feasibility and construction, the operations of the Project including required infrastructure, mining and production methods, processing and recovery, workforce requirements and operating costs, exploration upside of near-mine resource and growth opportunities, and expectations regarding the Company’s business and the Project. Wherever possible, words such as “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, “expect”, “plan”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “predict” or “potential” or the negative or other variations of these words, or similar words or phrases, have been used to identify these forward-looking statements. These statements reflect management’s current beliefs and are based on information currently available to management as at the date hereof.
Forward-looking statements involve significant risk, uncertainties and assumptions. Many factors could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from the results discussed or implied in the forward-looking statements, including the risk factors set out in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended May 31, 2025. These factors should be considered carefully and readers should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements. Although the forward-looking statements contained in this news release are based upon what management believes to be reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure readers that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update or revise them to reflect new events or circumstances, except as required by law.
The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.
Cautionary Note on Mineral Resources
This press release contains the terms “Inferred” and “Indicated” Mineral Resources. Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources reported in this press release are or will be economically or legally mineable. Investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in the Inferred and Indicated Resource categories will ever be converted into a higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of feasibility studies. The Mineral Resources set out in this news release are estimates, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the Indicated level of recovery will be realized.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
G2 has included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this press release, such as total cash costs, AISC, EBITDA and free cash flow, which are not measures recognized under IFRS® and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS®. G2 has also included supplementary financial measures, such as sustaining capital expenditures or sustaining capex, which are not measures recognized under IFRS® and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS®. As a result, these measures may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies. Each of these measures used are intended to provide additional information to the user and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS®. Non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and common to the gold mining industry are defined below. As the Project is not in production, G2 and the QPs do not have historical non-GAAP financial measures or historical comparable measures under IFRS®, and therefore the foregoing prospective non-GAAP financial measures or ratios presented may not be reconciled to the nearest comparable measure under IFRS®.
Total Cash Costs and Total Cash Costs per Ounce
Total cash costs are reflective of the cost of production. Total cash costs reported in the PEA include mining costs, processing, general and administrative costs of the mine, off-site costs, refining costs, transportation costs and royalties. Total cash costs per ounce is calculated as total cash costs divided by payable gold ounces. Total cash costs capture the important components of the Project’s production and related costs and are used by G2 and investors to understand projected cost performance at the Project.
All-In Sustaining Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs per Ounce
All-in sustaining costs and all-in sustaining costs per ounce are reflective of all of the expenditures that are required to produce an ounce of gold from operations. All-in sustaining costs reported in the PEA include total cash costs, sustaining capital expenditures, closure costs, but exclude corporate general and administrative costs. All-in sustaining costs per ounce is calculated as all-in sustaining costs divided by payable gold ounces. All-in sustaining Costs capture the important components of the Project’s production and related costs and are used by G2 and investors to understand projected cost performance at the Project.
EBITDA
EBITDA reflects net income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. G2 believes that EBITDA is a valuable indicator for the Company and investors to understand the Project’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow.
Free Cash Flow
Free cash flow reflects cash from operations, less initial and sustaining capital expenditures and reclamation costs. G2 believes that free cash flow represents an additional way of viewing the Project’s ability to generate liquidity as it is adjusted for expected capital expenditures.
Sustaining Capital Expenditures or Sustaining Capex
Sustaining capital expenditures or sustaining capex is a supplementary financial measure which reflects cash-basis expenditures which are expected to maintain operations and sustain production levels at the Project. G2 believes that sustaining capital expenditures provides the Company and investors an understanding of costs expected to be required to maintain existing production levels.
