Pelangio Exploration Inc. Files NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Mineral Resource Estimate Update on Its Manfo Project and Provides Exploration Update
Pelangio Exploration (OTC:PGXPF) has filed an updated NI 43-101 Technical Report for its 100% owned Manfo Gold Project in Ghana. The new Mineral Resource Estimate shows significant increases, with Indicated Resources of 441,000 ounces of gold at 1.16 g/t Au and Inferred Resources of 396,000 ounces at 0.77 g/t Au.
The update represents a 126% increase in Indicated gold ounces and a 395% increase in Inferred gold ounces compared to the previous estimate. The company has planned a $7.6 million staged exploration program including up to 45,000 meters of drilling, expected to begin in November 2025.
The resource is contained in four deposits along a 4.9-kilometer strike length, with the pit-constrained estimate using a gold price of US$2,600/ounce. Exploration programs are currently underway on both Manfo and Nkosuo properties.

Manfo Mineral Resource Update
An updated Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Manfo gold project in Ghana was completed in August 2025 by SEMS Technical Services Ltd. of Ghana. The NI 43-101 Technical Report detailing the MRE update, with an effective date of July 31, 2025 and signed on September 03, 2025 has been filed and is now available for review on SEDAR+ () and will be posted to the company's website ().
The MRE update conducted by SEMS Technical Services resulted in a total Indicated resource for the Manfo Project of 11,787,000 tonnes averaging 1.16 g/t Au for 441,000 ounces of gold plus a total Inferred resource of 16,048,000 tonnes averaging 0.77 g/t Au for 396,000 ounces of gold. The Resource is contained in four deposits along a strike length of 4.9 kilometres. The pit-constrained MRE was conducted using a gold price of US
The 2025 MRE update represents a substantial increase over the Maiden pit-constrained Mineral Resource Estimate, which was conducted at a gold price of US

Resource Growth and Exploration Potential
With 396,000 gold ounces (16,048,000 tonnes at an average grade of 0.77 g/t Au) of the Resource in the 2025 update being in the Inferred category, SEMS Technical Services has recommended drilling programs to upgrade the Resource. Additionally, much of the mineralization remains open-ended on the Manfo project and there is scope to expand the gold resource through successful resource extensional drilling and infill drilling follow up. Figure 2, which is a vertical long-section of the gold grade block model for the Pokukrom East deposit, shows the deposit remains open down-plunge and the shallower southern end of the deposit is open down-dip. Additionally, the northern and southern ends of the conceptual
Exploration drilling programs have also been proposed for the Manfo property and there is potential to add one or more satellite deposits to the project with numerous compelling untested exploration targets remaining such as the large Bomfaa gold-in-soil anomaly two to three kilometres northwest of the Pokukrom deposits (refer to Figure 1).
The greatest exploration potential is believed to be through the recent addition of the Nkosuo Mining Permit immediately south of the Manfo property. Pelangio believes that there is potential for at least Manfo-scale discovery on Nkosuo. This view is based on limited historical exploration completed by AshantiGoldfields (now AngloGoldAshanti) demonstrating extensions to the Manfo mineralized structures and two or three subsidiary structures into Nkosuo Lease, plus the considerable past and current work by artisanal miners. Pelangio has commenced exploration on the Nkosuo Lease with a UAV (drone) orthophotography survey extending over both the Manfo and Nkosuo licenses now complete. The drone high-resolution magnetics survey over the same area is now
Between the resource expansion drilling and exploration programs for new discovery, Pelangio believes the gold resource contained in the Manfo-Nkosuo combined project can be grown substantially above its current level at relatively low discovery / resource addition costs. SEMS Technical Services in collaboration with Pelangio Exploration have designed a US
