The forward-looking statements represent AAU's current views and subsequent events and developments may cause AAU's views to change. AAU disclaims any obligation to update forward-looking information except as required by law. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward- looking statements. This Presentation has been prepared as a summary only and does not contain all information about AAU or the Projects. The information is subject to updating, completion, revision, further verification and amendment. Actual results and developments may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements depending on, among others, such key factors as the possibility that actual circumstances will differ from estimates and assumptions used in the potential of the La Demajagua and Nueva Sabana gold projects, the environmental and social cost of proceeding with the projects, uncertainty relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, economic sanctions, general business and economic conditions, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of the projects, and the impact of future legislation and regulations on expenses, capital expenditures and taxation, changes in project parameters, variation in ore grade or recovery rates, delays in obtaining government approvals and necessary permitting, impurities in products and other risks involved in the mineral exploration and development industry. The Information contained in this Presentation is provided on the terms and conditions set out in this notice. The purpose of this Presentation is to provide Information relating to AAU, the proposed La Demajagua and Nueva Sabana mines, and the potential of copper exploration areas in Cuba ("the Projects"). AAU makes no representation or warranty (express or implied) as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the Information. AAU and its respective affiliates, directors, employees, agents and consultants shall have no liability (including liability to any person by reason of negligence or negligent misstatement) for any statements, opinions, information or matters (express or implied) arising out of, contained in or derived from, or for any omissions from the Presentation, except liability under statute that cannot be excluded. The Presentation contains reference to certain intentions, expectations and plans of AAU and the Projects. These intentions, expectations and plans may or may not be achieved. They are based on certain assumptions which may not be met or on which views may differ.

Cu Copper Focus Au Gold Focus Exploration Agreements Two copper porphyry concessions at El Pilar totalling 17,750ha, and; Three concessions totalling 54,000ha, highly prospective for copper-gold- molybdenum within the producing Sierra Maestra copper belt. Note Planned development of two open pit gold mines in 2024-25 by 50:50 joint venture that could fund expanded copper exploration in the future. Nueva Sabana mine to initially produce +50g/t Au concentrate followed by ~25% Cu concentrate - commissioning planned for early 2025. La Demajagua mine to produce ~80,000 oz Au Eq annually as gold, antimony, and silver concentrates for 9 years - commissioning planned for mid 2025. All data contained in this presentation has previously been advised to ASX (refer page 19) Antilles Gold will not have a direct economic interest in the copper properties until they are transferred from the Exploration Agreement to the joint venture with GeoMinera which is currently being negotiated#5Antilles Gold Restructuring Antilles Gold Group is restructuring to establish two joint ventures with GeoMinera to be focused separately on copper, and gold projects ■ Antilles Metals Inc to participate in exploration and development of copper projects ■ Antilles Gold Inc to participate in exploration and development of gold projects PROPOSED ANTILLES GOLD GROUP STRUCTURE 100% ANTILLES METALS INC.

Intense oxidized sericite-pyrite (phyllic) style alteration with secondary sulphur and an extensive iron-rich gossan at La Cristina oxide#17Antilles Gold Conclusions on Potential of Copper Properties El Pilar Porphyry System - - - OXIDE MINERALIZATION High grade gold and copper located in oxide mineralization allowing low CAPEX production startup Simple metallurgy with gold being located in iron-oxides (weathered sulphides) and oxide copper being associated entirely with secondary chalcocite Very clean concentrate with no arsenic PRIMARY MINERALIZATION All three of the preliminary deep diamond drillholes have intersected primary copper mineralization (chalcopyrite) associated with porphyry intrusive fingers and associated breccias and stockwork veining, indicating the presence of a porphyry system at depth Ongoing drilling to target the porphyry copper system that is the source of all the known mineralization Sierra Maestra Concessions Prolific and under explored volcanic arc that hosts historical copper-gold mineralization that has been mined over hundreds of years continuously Significant surficial copper-gold-molybdenum mineralization located along strike from the historical El Cobre mine workings that is indicative of both a copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry system and associated epithermal gold-copper system at the Las Cristina and Vega Grande prospects Footprint size and clustering of surficial mineralization is indicative of a potentially large mineralized zone Historical underground exploration tunneling and artisanal mining from the 1950's has exposed significant zones of secondary copper and gold mineralization in the upper weathered parts of the system Potential for a number of discoveries 17#18Antilles Gold Investment Opportunity 01 Opportunity for exceptional growth in value of Antilles Gold through a majority interest in El Pilar copper porphyry system, and three highly prospective concessions in the Sierra Maestra copper belt. 02 Antilles Gold could potentially sell all, or part, of its majority holding in the El Pilar copper joint venture in 2 to 3 years if future drilling enhances the value of the asset - already approached by interested major companies. 03 Antilles Gold participating in the near-term development of two low cap-ex mines to produce gold, antimony silver, and copper concentrates, through its 50:50 partnership with GeoMinera. 04 Surplus cash flow from mid 2025 from the two gold projects could fund future copper exploration. 05 06 Awards expected in November 2023 from arbitration of A$45 million of contractual claims against Dominican Republic Government from previous project - any proceeds could be applied to copper exploration. The current A$18 million market capitalisation of Antilles Gold is only 12% of the Company's share of the NPV, for the La Demajagua mine, and does not reflect the value of Nueva Sabana, or its outstanding copper prospects. 18#19ANTILLES GOLD LIMITED ABN: 48 008 031 034 ASX CODE: AAU 19 Reference ASX Announcements 15 December 2022 27 February 2023 18 May 2023 24 May 2023 28 June 2023 20 July 2023 9 August 2023 15 August 2023 For more information, please contact: Brian Johnson Executive Chairman E: [email protected] P: +61 2 481 1740 W: www.antillesgold.net
