G2 Goldfields Files Technical Report for PEA and Updated MRE for the High-Grade Oko Gold Project

(All amounts are in US$)

TORONTO, Feb. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — G2 Goldfields Inc. (“G2” or the “Company”) (TSX: GTWO; OTCQX: GUYGF) is pleased to announce an independent technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) on the Oko Gold Project in the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, South America” (the “Technical Report”), with an effective date of December 8, 2025, has been filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

The Technical Report supports the results of a preliminary economic analysis (“PEA”) and an updated mineral resource estimate (“MRE”) on the Company’s high-grade Oko Gold Project (“Oko” or the “Project”) announced by the Company on December 18, 2025, with highlights shown below.

PEA Highlights:

  • High-grade updated resource: Underpinned by G2’s updated Mineral Resource Estimate, including 1.6 Moz Au at 3.24 g/t Au (Indicated) and 1.9 Moz Au at 3.31 g/t Au (Inferred).
  • Long life, significant production and industry-leading margins: 14-year LOM underground and open pit operation with average annual gold production of 282,000 ounces at AISC¹ of $1,175/oz Au from years 2 through 11.
  • Attractive capital profile: Initial capital expenditures of $664 million (including 20% contingency), sustaining capital expenditures¹ of $499 million over the LOM, and net mine closure costs of $29 million.
  • Robust economics and fast payback: After-tax NPV5% of $2.5 billion, IRR of 38% and payback of 2.7 years at $3,000/oz Au (Base Case).

Daniel Noone, CEO of G2, stated, “This PEA clearly demonstrates that the Oko Project is exceptionally well positioned across a wide range of gold price environments. The study highlights strong Project economics characterized by robust margins, attractive returns and a rapid payback, underpinned by the natural high-grade of the deposit and a low average AISC of US$1,175 per ounce. These compelling fundamentals, which represent only a snapshot of the potential value we believe exists at Oko, combined with supportive macroeconomic and structural tailwinds, position us to deliver significant long-term value as we continue to advance Oko towards permitting and unlock the broader district’s full potential.”

Notes to Table 2: AISC, cash cost, EBITDA and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial performance measures with no standardized definition under IFRS®. Total cash costs include mining, processing, surface infrastructures, transport, G&A and royalty costs. AISC includes total cash costs, sustaining capital expenses to support the on-going operations, and closure/reclamation. EBITDA reflects net income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses. Free cash flow reflects cash from operations, less initial and sustaining capital expenditures and reclamation costs. Refer to “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this press release.

The PEA is preliminary in nature and includes 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. There is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

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.

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 qualified persons 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.
