Falco Resources updating feasibility study for Horne 5

FALCO INITIATES AN UPDATE TO ITS HORNE 5 PROJECT'S 2021 FEASIBILITY STUDY

Falco Resources Ltd. has initiated an update of the feasibility study for its flagship Horne 5 project, located in Rouyn-Noranda, Que. Falco anticipates that this study will be completed in the second quarter of 2026 and that it will reflect the considerable potential of the project considering the significant changes in commodity prices since the release of the feasibility study for the project in 2021. Having completed the public hearing process with the Office of Public Hearings on the Environment (Quebec) last year, the corporation continues to work toward receiving the necessary ministerial decree authorizing the project in the coming months.

Luc Lessard, president and chief executive officer of Falco, commented: "Updating the Horne 5 project's 2021 feasibility study with current long-term commodity pricing and project cost assumptions is exciting. The 2021 feasibility study, while describing significant potential economic returns, does not capture the rapidly changing gold, silver, copper and zinc pricing environment. The current metal values are expected to enhance the Horne 5 project's potential economic returns. In addition, recent acquisitions of major projects in Quebec, such as the Windfall project by Gold Fields Ltd. and the Croinor project by Fresnillo PLC, help investors understand the value of our project."

Sean Roosen, special adviser to Falco, and chairman and chief executive officer of Osisko Development Corp., Falco's largest shareholder, added: "We believe that once a decree is in hand, it will put Falco in the enviable position of having one of the few large-scale polymetallic gold projects to be developed in North America. With this there could be continued rerate potential through additional milestones such as financing and project development execution strategies."

The Horne 5 project is an exceptional project in Quebec, and is one of Canada's largest and most advanced primary gold projects by life-of-mine (LOM) production. As previously disclosed in the 2021 feasibility study, the project is a massive sulphide polymetallic deposit (gold (Au), silver (Ag), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)), which is anticipated to produce more than 220,000 ounces (oz) Au per year over an approximately 15-year LOM. The 2021 feasibility study reflected robust financial parameters based on gold and silver prices of $1,600 (U.S.) per oz and $21 (U.S.) per oz, respectively, and are highly sensitive to the market price of gold. With meaningful critical and strategic minerals exposure, Falco anticipates being one of the largest producers of copper (247 million pounds (lb)) and zinc (1.19 billion lb) in Quebec over the project's LOM.
