Company Announcement
Drill results from the Johnson Tract (JT) project in Alaska, U.S.
FRC Analyst's Comment
Positive – All 21 holes of a recent infill drill campaign returned thick, high-grade intercepts, including 5 m of 11.5 g/t AuEq, and 93 m of 9.1 g/t. The ultra high-grade JT project hosts 1.1 Moz AuEq at 9 gpt. CTGO plans to accelerate production at JT through a Direct Shipping Ore (DSO) model, similar to the strategy used at its flagship Manh Choh mine.

Company Announcement
Announces US$12M cash distribution from the Peak Gold JV
FRC Analyst's Comment
Positive – CTGO and its partner Kinross Gold (TSX: K) have completed processing two batches of ore, producing 100 Koz of gold (30 Koz net for CTGO). Since production began in July 2024, CTGO has received US$32M in cash distributions from the JV. Based on an average gold price of US$2,500/oz, we believe total cash costs were approximately US$1,400–US$1,500/oz. We anticipate cash costs to drop to US$1,000/oz or below as production ramps up. Manh Choh is a medium-sized/ultra-high-grade open-pit mine capable of producing 225 Koz per year (67.5 Koz for CTGO). CTGO will start reporting revenue in the upcoming Q3 financials, at which point we will start providing our 2024 and 2025 revenue and EPS estimates.
