Oslo, Norway, 11 July 2025 - Akobo Minerals AB (publ) ("Akobo" or the "Company") (Euronext Growth Oslo: AKOBO), the Scandinavian-based gold producer operating in Ethiopia, is pleased to share its final operational update for June 2025.

This report is published ahead of the final smelting of all June material, as the Company awaits delivery of a new furnace better suited to the doré specifications required by the National Bank of Ethiopia. Overall results exceeded our previous May/June expectations of 10 kg, taking into consideration the remaining high-grade stockpile.

Highlights

·  Total doré gold production to date: Approximately 30 kilograms

·  Contribution from May and June:

• Doré gold bars: Approximately 10 kilograms

~9,2 kilograms from the past six weeks of production

~0.9 kilograms from the first two weeks of May

·  High-grade material stockpile: ~200 tonnes from June remains to be processed

·  Average grade: Estimated at 30 g/t

Operational Overview

Mining operations remain focused on high-grade zones within the Segele orebody. The block model data and laboratory results confirm consistently strong grades in active production areas, with certain zones showing values of several hundred grams per tonne.

Processing operations are ongoing, with approximately 200 tonnes of high-grade material from June pending smelting. This, together with ongoing July production, will be converted to concentrate and smelted once the new furnace is commissioned later this month.

The process plant is undergoing several adjustments, including feed rate, water recycling, and the Falcon concentrator setup. These remain works in progress as part of the commissioning of the gravity circuit, with the goal of optimising gold recoveries. Smelting techniques and furnace operations are also being continuously refined to improve doré quality.

Site Conditions

The rainy season has brought operational challenges, including difficult working conditions on site and in the region also with increased cases of malaria. Despite this, the team at Segele continues to demonstrate strong commitment, maintaining steady progress across mining and processing activities.

Outlook

With continued access to high-grade ore, stable operations at the plant, and further technical upgrades underway, the Company anticipates strong production performance for July and the period ahead. The new furnace installation will further enhance smelting efficiency and ensure full compliance with National Bank doré standards.
