ABOUT MONTAGE GOLD CORP.
Montage Gold Corp. (TSXV: MAU) is a Canadian-listed company
focused on becoming a premier multi-asset African gold producer,
with its flagship Koné project, located in Côte d'Ivoire, at the
forefront. Based on the Feasibility Study published in 2024, the
Koné project ranks as one of the highest quality gold projects in
Africa with a long 16-year mine
life, low AISC of $998/oz over its

over the first 8 years. Over the course of 2024, the Montage
management team will be leveraging their extensive track record in
developing projects in Africa to
progress the Koné project towards a construction launch, thereby
unlocking significant value for all its stakeholders.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This press release contains certain forward-looking information
and forward-looking statements within the meaning of Canadian
securities legislation (collectively, "Forward-looking
Statements"). All statements, other than statements of historical
fact, constitute Forward-looking Statements. Words such as "will",
"intends", "proposed" and "expects" or similar expressions are
intended to identify Forward-looking Statements. Forward looking
Statements in this press release include statements related to the
use of proceeds from the Offering; the final acceptance of the TSX
Venture Exchange; the Company's mineral reserve and mineral
resource estimates; the timing and amount of future production from
the Koné project; expectations with respect AISC of the Koné
project; anticipated mine life of the Koné project; and expected
recoveries and grades of the Koné project. Forward-looking
Statements involve various risks and uncertainties and are based on
certain factors and assumptions. There can be no assurance that
such statements will prove to be accurate, and actual results and
future events could differ materially from those anticipated in
such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results
to differ materially from the Company's expectations include
uncertainties inherent in the preparation of mineral reserve and
resource estimates and definitive feasibility studies such as the
Mineral Reserve Estimate and the UFS, including but not limited to,
assumptions underlying the production estimates not being realized,
incorrect cost assumptions, unexpected variations in quantity of
mineralized material, grade or recovery rates, unexpected changes
to geotechnical or hydrogeological considerations, unexpected
failures of plant, equipment or processes, unexpected changes to
availability of power or the power rates, failure to maintain
permits and licenses, higher than expected interest or tax rates,
adverse changes in project parameters, unanticipated delays and
costs of consulting and accommodating rights of local communities,
environmental risks inherent in the Côte d'Ivoire, title risks,
including failure to renew concessions, unanticipated commodity
price and exchange rate fluctuations, risks relating to COVID-19,
delays in or failure to receive access agreements or amended
permits, and other risk factors set forth in the Company's 2023 AIF
under the heading "Risk Factors". The Company undertakes no
obligation to update or revise any Forward-looking Statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise,
except as may be required by law. New factors emerge from time to
time, and it is not possible for Montage to predict all of them, or
assess the impact of each such factor or the extent to which any
factor, or combination of factors, may cause results to differ
materially from those contained in any Forward-looking Statement.
Any Forward-looking Statements contained in this press release are
expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary
statement.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
This press release includes certain terms or performance
measures commonly used in the mining industry that are not defined
under International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"),
including cash costs and AISC (or "all-in sustaining costs") per
payable ounce of gold sold and per tonne processed and mining,
processing and operating costs reported on a unit basis. Non-GAAP
measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS
and, therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures
employed by other companies. The Company discloses "cash costs" and
"all-in sustaining costs" and other unit costs because it
understands that certain investors use this information to
determine the Company's ability to generate earnings and cash flows
for use in investing and other activities. The Company believes
that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance
with IFRS, do not fully illustrate the ability of mines to generate
cash flows. The measures, as determined under IFRS, are not
necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from
operating activities. The measures cash costs and all-in sustaining
costs and unit costs are considered to be key indicators of a
project's ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation
as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance
with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs,
operating profit or cash flows presented under IFRS. Readers should
also refer to our management's discussion and analysis, available
under our corporate profile at www.sedarplus.ca for a more detailed
discussion of how we calculate such measures.
