GMV Minerals: Advancing a High-Return Gold Development Opportunity in Arizona

GMV Minerals is a junior gold development company focused on advancing its 100%-owned Mexican Hat Gold Project in southeastern Arizona, a mining-friendly jurisdiction with excellent infrastructure and a long history of gold production. The project hosts an NI 43-101 inferred resource of approximately 688,000 ounces of gold contained in 36.7 million tonnes grading 0.58 g/t gold, with mineralization remaining open for expansion.

The company’s updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) outlines robust project economics supported by shallow oxide mineralization suitable for conventional open-pit, heap-leach processing, a proven low-cost gold extraction method.

PEA Highlights

• Pre-tax IRR: 66.1% (50.2% after tax)
• Pre-tax NPV (5%): US$390.2M (US$268.3M after tax)
• Rapid payback: ~1.5 years
• Mine life: 10 years
• Total production: ~597,800 ounces of gold (~60,000 oz/year)
• Initial capex: ~US$90M
• Cash costs: ~US$1,354/oz
• AISC: ~US$1,545/oz

Importantly, the project demonstrates strong leverage to rising gold prices, with economics improving significantly in higher-price scenarios, highlighting the potential for substantial value creation as gold prices increase.

Recent Corporate Developments

GMV continues to advance Mexican Hat through key operational and permitting milestones. The company recently secured a multi-year land licensing agreement with a local ranching family, ensuring long-term access to key surface lands required for exploration, environmental monitoring, and future development activities.

In its most recent update, GMV also signed a drilling agreement to commence a new drill program at Mexican Hat, marking an important step toward expanding and upgrading the current resource. The program is designed to follow up on previous drilling results and support further technical work stemming from the updated PEA, as the company continues advancing the project toward the next stages of development
