Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation ("**Parent**"), Exploration Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent ("**Merger Sub**"), and joined by AngloGold Ashanti Holdings plc, a public limited company existing under the laws of the Isle of Man ("**HoldCo**"), for the limited purposes specified in the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Parent, Merger Sub and Augusta Gold intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into Augusta Gold (the "**Merger**"), with Augusta Gold surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

59,884,859 shares of Augusta Gold common stock (the "**Common Shares**"), representing approximately 69.69% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the record date of September 12, 2025 (the "**Record Date**"), were voted at the Special Meeting either in person or represented by proxy. The Merger Resolution was approved by (i) approximately 69.44% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as of the Record Date and; (ii) approximately 99.37% of the Common Shares voted at the Special Meeting, after excluding votes from certain related parties required to be excluded in accordance with section 8.1(2) of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions*.

Following completion of the Merger, Augusta Gold expects the Common Shares to be delisted from the Toronto Stock Exchange and to cease to be quoted on the OTCQB.
