<u>**Press Release**</u>

**Loncor Gold Announces Acquisition by Chengtun Mining for C$261 Million** 

------

**Toronto, Ontario - October 14, 2025** - Loncor Gold Inc. ("**Loncor**" or the "**Company**") (TSX: "LN"; OTCQX: "LONCF"; FSE: "LO5") and Chengtun Mining Group Co., Ltd. (SSE: ticker 600711), Ltd, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Chengtun Gold Ontario Inc. (collectively "**Chengtun Mining**" or the "**Purchaser**"), are pleased to announce they have entered into an arrangement agreement (the "**Arrangement Agreement**"), pursuant to which Chengtun Mining will acquire all the outstanding common shares of Loncor (each, a "**Loncor Share**"), in exchange for C$1.38 per Loncor Share (the "**Consideration**") in an all-cash transaction by way of a plan of arrangement (the "**Transaction**"). The Consideration represents total equity value of approximately C$261 million on a fully diluted basis.

The Consideration represents a premium of approximately 33% to the 30-day volume weighted average trading price ("**VWAP**") of the Loncor Shares, and a premium of approximately 16% to the closing price of the Loncor Shares as at October 10, 2025 on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "**TSX**"). Further details of the Transaction are outlined below.

As part of the Transaction, Loncor shareholders representing approximately 38% of the issued and outstanding Loncor Shares have signed voting support agreements, pursuant to which they have agreed, among other things, to vote their Loncor Shares in favour of the Transaction.

**Arnold Kondrat, Executive Chairman of Loncor, commented:** "I am pleased to announce that we have entered into an agreement for the sale of the Company, marking a significant achievement for all stakeholders. This Transaction crystallizes the inherent value we have built over 15 years and eliminates future dilution while mitigating commodity, political, and execution risks. The sale delivers a strong outcome for shareholders."

<u>**Transaction Highlights**</u>

* Immediate and significant premium of approximately 33% and 16% to the 30-day VWAP and the closing price of the Loncor Shares, respectively.

* All-cash offer, providing certainty of value and immediate liquidity to Loncor shareholders.

* Highly capable counterparty in Chengtun Mining which is principally engaged in trading and mining of new energy metal business internationally. Chengtun Mining's products mainly include copper, cobalt, nickel and gold, and has accumulated extensive operational experience in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

* Crystallizes value while removing future dilution, commodity and execution risk for Loncor shareholders.

* Leverage's Chengtun Mining's strong access to capital and depth of technical and in-country expertise to develop the Imbo project. 

<u>**Transaction Terms**</u>

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, signed on October 14, 2025, the holders of the issued and outstanding Loncor Shares will receive the Consideration. The Transaction will be carried out by way of court-approved plan of arrangement under the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario).

------

The Arrangement Agreement contains customary reciprocal deal-protection provisions including a non-solicitation covenant and a "fiduciary out" that would allow Loncor to accept a superior proposal as defined in the Arrangement Agreement, subject to a right for Chengtun Mining to match any superior proposal. The Arrangement Agreement also provides for a mutual reciprocal termination fee of C$10 million, payable in certain circumstances.

Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, each outstanding Loncor stock option and Loncor common share purchase warrant outstanding at the effective time of the Transaction, will be deemed to be surrendered, assigned and transferred by the holder thereof to Loncor in exchange for a cash payment equal to the amount by which the Consideration exceeds the exercise price of such stock option or warrant, as applicable.

The Arrangement Agreement also provides that the Purchaser will provide to Loncor refundable advances totalling US$3,000,000 within the 60 day period following the date of the Arrangement Agreement. These advances are to be used in connection with the Company's ongoing exploration program at the Adumbi deposit and for general corporate purposes.

Further details of the Arrangement Agreement will be included in a management information circular of Loncor that is expected to be mailed to Loncor shareholders in the coming weeks. A copy of the Arrangement Agreement will be made available on Loncor's SEDAR+ profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

<u>**Conditions to Completion**</u>

The completion of the Transaction is subject to a number of terms and conditions, including without limitation the following: (i) approval of the Loncor shareholders, as described below; (ii) acceptance of the TSX; (iii) approval of the Ontario Superior Court; and (iv) other standard conditions of closing for a transaction of this nature. There can be no assurance that all of the necessary approvals will be obtained or that all conditions of closing will be satisfied.

The Transaction is subject to the approval at a special meeting of Loncor shareholders (the "**Loncor Meeting**") by: (a) 66 2/3 percent of the votes cast by Loncor shareholders; and (b) a majority of the votes cast by the Loncor shareholders (excluding the votes cast by persons whose votes may not be included in determining minority approval of a "business combination" in accordance with Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - *Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions*).

<u>**Transaction Timeline**</u>

Subject to certain conditions, including the parties obtaining the requisite regulatory approvals, the Transaction is expected to close not later than Q1 2026. Following completion of the Transaction, the Loncor Shares are expected to be de-listed from the TSX. Loncor will also apply to cease to be a reporting issuer under Canadian securities laws and a registrant with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "**SEC**").

<u>**Voting Support Agreements**</u>

Each director and officer of Loncor, and Loncor's largest shareholders, Resolute Mining Ltd, and Arnold Kondrat (Executive Chairman of Loncor), who own approximately 18% and 17%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Loncor Shares, have entered into a voting support agreement with Chengtun Mining pursuant to which they have agreed to vote their respective Loncor Shares in favour of the Transaction at the Loncor Meeting.
