Dear Sir,
Sub: First gold doré at Altyn Tor Project, Kyrgyzstan
Ref: Disclosure under Regulation 30 of SEBI (Listing Obligations & Disclosure Requirements) Regulations,
2015.
Deccan Gold Mines Limited (“Deccan Gold”) is delighted to inform Shareholders that your Company has successfully taken
the next step in its transition from explorer to producer with the production of our first gold doré at Altyn Tor today.
For the first time, a batch of gravity circuit concentrate was processed through the newly installed Intensive Leach System
(ILS) tanks for a proof-of-concept run (Figure 1). Gold was recovered from the pregnant leach solution via the Merrill-Crowe
process then smelted to produce doré.
The aim of the first batch was to evaluate the integrated process design and to validate parameters under active field
conditions. The outcome confirms the metallurgical leachability of the material, successfully translating the high recovery
rates established in earlier laboratory test work into the production environment.
This milestone represents a critical de-risking step for the processing flowsheet and demonstrates operational viability as we
advance toward full-scale commercialisation.

Forward looking statement
Dr. Hanuma Prasad Modali, Managing Director, Deccan Gold Mines Ltd., said: “The successful production of our first gold
doré at Altyn Tor marks a defining milestone in Deccan Gold's journey as we transition from an explorer to a gold producer.
Successfully validating the complete processing flowsheet—from gravity concentration and intensive leaching through to gold
recovery and doré production—under live operating conditions significantly de-risks the project and provides confidence in its
commercial potential.

This achievement is the result of years of technical planning, engineering and execution. It reinforces our confidence in the
upgraded processing plant and our strategy of building a globally diversified portfolio of producing gold and critical mineral
assets. As we continue to advance Altyn Tor towards full-scale production, we remain focused on unlocking additional resource
potential and creating long-term value for our shareholders”.
About Altyn Tor
Deccan Golds 60% holding in Avelum Partners LLC, developer and operator of the Altyn Tor Gold Project, marks the first
investment by an Indian mining and exploration company in Kyrgyzstan and is expected to enhance economic ties between
the 2 countries.
Altyn Tor is in the Naryn region of central Kyrgyzstan, approximately six hours by road from the capital Bishkek. The deposit
forms part of the highly mineralized Soltan Sary mineralization zone, which extends over 300km length and is part of the
major Tien Shen Shear Zone, host to numerous world-class gold deposits. Gold mineralization is hosted in quartz, quartz-
carbonate veins and stockworks.
Current mineral resources at the Project are estimated to contain 180 koz (5.6t) of gold.
Mining at Altyn Tor commenced in 1993 by the State-owned, Kyrgyzaltyn OJSC. The mine produced approximately 2,200 kg
of gold before its temporary closure in 2022. In that year, Avelum entered into a simple agreement with Kyrgyzaltyn to
develop and operate the mine. A 2023 feasibility study demonstrated the viability of increasing gold recovery through the
addition of a leaching circuit and expanding the existing open pit mine.
Currently, Avelum is upgrading and expanding the processing plant capacity to include a gravity and leaching circuit.
Concurrently, drilling programmes have demonstrated that the current mineral resource understates the true size of the
deposit significantly. Recent drilling has shown extensions of the deposit to the west and below the current pit design. The
high-grade intersections below the pit design could support a future underground mining, subject to further drilling planned
in 2026 onwards.
Deccan Gold will update the mineral resources and develop a revised life-of-mine plan. The results of this work will be
presented to the Kyrgyzstan Committee of State Reserves for authorisation to increase the life of the operation.
