AKOBO) (OTCQX:AKOBF).
Akobo Minerals, a prominent gold exploration and mining company based in
Scandinavia with operations in Ethiopia, is pleased to announce a significant

the Eastern Winze, marking an important milestone in its strategic mine
development efforts.

Akobo Minerals has been focusing on the comprehensive development of the Eastern
Winze, which is crucial for facilitating future production. The primary emphasis
has been on the development of the prospect drive, which will connect the
Eastern and Western Winzes. The crosscut between the two winzes will increase
ore extraction rates, facilitate startup of stoping, increase safety as we will
have two exits from the mine and support efficient ventilation. By concentrating
on this drive, the company aims to establish a solid foundation for more
effective operations. The strategic positioning of the Eastern Winze at a lower
elevation further aids in efficient stoping operation, ensuring optimal
conditions for the coming ore extraction.
Following successful commissioning activities, Akobo Minerals is now capable of
producing gold from the Segele mine. The ongoing development and regular
blasting are anticipated to advance into the Segele ore body. The company is
still in the development phase, progressing towards the first trial stope and
following that the very gold rich Stope 01, as part of its broader mine
development plan. Akobo Minerals remains committed to responsible and strategic
mining practices, aiming to deliver long-term value for its stakeholders.
