AZ’ Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves have increased primarily due to successful exploration campaign during 2021 and 2022 at Krasivoe underground gold deposit which is part of the Yubileyniy project.

- Placer Ore Reserves are estimated at 46 koz of gold in the Probable category. Ore reserves are reported as part of the Mineral Resources.
