Last week, CEO Michael Durose was on site at the LDS Project in Southern Brazil, joining the team to review exploration progress with the geology team and see the latest core from areas such as Olaria. Drilling continues across multiple high-priority targets, with three rigs currently turning at Fazenda do Posto, Butiá, and Olaria. The program is focused on expanding known mineralized zones, testing new structures, and advancing the geological model across the 24+ gold targets that make up the LDS system. A strong start to 2025 with consistent results and continued momentum across the district. #Gold #GoldExploration #Brazil #Mining #Drilling $LGC.V $LGCFF

Vila Marieta: A High-Grade Extension in a Growing Gold System At Lavras Gold’s LDS Project in southern Brazil, the Vila Marieta discovery is a possible extension of the nearby Cerrito deposit—and a compelling piece of the larger puzzle unfolding across the district. Located immediately south of Cerrito, Vila Marieta returned 28.0 metres at 1.3 g/t gold from surface in drill hole 23VM001—85% higher than the average grade at Cerrito. Why it matters: - High-grade, near-surface potential: Could enhance economics of the Cerrito deposit with early-stage higher-grade feed. - Strong exploration upside: Open to the south and southeast, supported by gold-in-soil anomalies. - Strategic fit: Adds grade and scale in the eastern corridor, complementing other discoveries like Butiá, Fazenda do Posto, and Olaria. Together, these zones underscore the scale, variability, and evolving opportunity at the LDS Project—with each new target advancing our understanding of this complex intrusive-hosted gold system.

The Rota do Ouro (Gold Trail) community project continues to grow in Lavras do Sul. Launched by Lavras Gold in early 2023, this initiative reconnects local students and visitors with the region’s deep mining heritage. Along the immersive trail, participants explore five unique stations focused on themes of mineral riches, memory, water, livestock, and the legendary garimpeiro (gold miners). Along the journey, each visitor collects stamps in a Rota do Ouro passport and receives native tree seeds in eco-friendly wool bags crafted by local artisans—combining education, cultural pride, and sustainability. The Rota do Ouro is now part of the local school curriculum. This recent photo captures the spirit of the project in action. Rota do Ouro continues to unite the community in celebrating its history while inspiring future generations, all while Lavras Gold advances exploration at the LDS Project nearby.

Understanding the Geology Behind the LDS Project At Lavras Gold’s LDS Project, we’re exploring a unique and complex gold system shaped by ancient volcanic and magmatic processes. Here’s what makes the geology so unique: -The LDS Project is hosted within the remnants of an old magma chamber—an intrusive, alkaline system with epithermal and magmatic characteristics. -Gold is primarily found in altered granites (granitoids), where early hydrothermal fluids created open spaces in the rock through intense chemical alteration. Later gold-bearing fluids filled these voids, leading to broad, continuous mineralized zones. -These processes formed distinctive rock types like episyenite, visible in both the Butiá deposit and Fazenda do Posto discovery. -This style of mineralization supports long intervals of disseminated gold—from surface to depths beyond 400 metres. -With over 24 known gold targets and multiple styles of mineralization, LDS offers both geological variability and future mining flexibility. Drill results at the LDS Project continue to demonstrate the potential for long, continuous intervals of gold mineralization. As we build out the geological database and apply modern exploration techniques, the LDS Project continues to emerge as a significant intrusive-hosted gold system in Brazil.

Metallurgical studies are a key step in evaluating the potential of a gold deposit. Lavras Gold is advancing this work at the LDS Project to better understand gold recovery and support future development decisions. Currently, metallurgical test work is underway at the Butiá deposit, with Fazenda do Posto to follow. These tests are evaluating gold recovery potential across low-, medium-, and high-grade domains—essential data that will help inform future processing strategies and support project economics. Early bottle roll tests at Butiá returned recoveries between 85–90% at standard grind sizes—strong early indicators of a robust gold system. Metallurgy is a key component in advancing towards an economically feasible gold mine, and Lavras Gold is taking the necessary steps to build that foundation.

The Evolution & History of Lavras do Sul and the LDS Project For nearly 250 years, Lavras do Sul—“Washings of the south”—has been significant to Brazil’s mining history. What began in 1776 with the discovery of gold by Portuguese pioneers evolved through waves of prospecting, from the gold rushes of the 1880s to modern exploration today. Notable milestones include: - Daniel Laut’s pioneering gold mill in 1870 - Resurgent activity in the 1980s by Companhia Brasileira do Cobre - 2000s exploration by Rio Tinto and IAMGOLD - Amarillo Gold’s 2006 focus on Butiá, Cerrito, and Caneleira - Lavras Gold’s acquisition of these assets in 2022, sparking a new chapter of discovery Today, Lavras Gold is building on this legacy with active drilling and multiple new discoveries, including: - Butiá: 236m @ 1.4 g/t Au from surface - Fazenda do Posto: 340m @ 1.1 g/t Au - Olaria: 56m @ 1.0 g/t Au - Zeca Souza: 4.0m @ 43.6 g/t Au - Matilde Extension: 10m @ 13.2 g/t Au + copper + silver The LDS Project’s scale and variability, combined with strong infrastructure and community ties, marks a new era of discovery and growth for the historic mining district of Lavras do Sul.

If you haven’t looked at Lavras Gold’s latest drill results yet, now’s the time. The drilling confirms consistent gold mineralization and advances structural understanding. The results were from 12 holes (4,007 metres) at the Fazenda do Posto Gold Target at the LDS Project in Southern Brazil. Notably, hole 24BT043 returned 251.0 metres grading 1.2 g/t gold, including 100.0 metres @ 2.2 g/t and 10.0 metres @ 4.6 g/t. Gold mineralization was intersected in 11 of the 12 holes. Recent drill results have extended the mineralized footprint around Butia and Fazenda do Posto by more than 150 metres to the northwest. Geological interpretation suggests a steep, pipe-like structure beginning near surface and now traced to depths of at least 400 metres. These results have contributed to a stronger understanding of the controls on mineralization, with NE/SW structural trends now considered a key influence across the western corridor of the project. Metallurgical testing is nearing completion at Butiá and has commenced at Fazenda do Posto. Drilling continues in both zones, as well as further north at the Olaria discovery.
