China Gold International Resources Corp. Ltd. announced that the gradual resumption of certain operations at its Jiama Copper-Gold Polymetallic Mine (the "Jiama Mine") has begun on December 15, 2023 following the receipt of approval from the Lhasa Municipal Government, in line with previous announcements in relation to the overflow at the Guolanggou Tailings Dam at the Jiama Mine. The resumption of operations includes the underground void management and the restart of the Phase I processing plant of the Jiama Mine with a daily processing capacity of 6,000 tonnes.

The tailings produced from processing operations will all be backfilled to the underground voids through the backfilling system. The Company has carried out a plan for the full resumption of operations, and the restart of the phase I processing plant is the first step in the overall plan. The repair and reinforcement work at the GuolanggOU Tailings Dam has been fully completed, and the safety assessment report has been completed, awaiting acceptance and approval by the government.

The review process of the subsequent tailings discharge plan is occurring simultaneously. The Company will continue to proceed towards the resumption of full production on its design capacity at the Jiama Mine.
