📄 December 2025 Quarterly Report: loom.ly/ItvQCxg
$WAF Executive Chairman and CEO Richard Hyde commented: “Sanbrado delivered another solid quarter, with 49,732 ounces of gold produced at a site sustaining cost of US$1,399/oz. For the full year 2025, Sanbrado produced 205,228 ounces of gold at a site sustaining cost of US$1,348/oz, achieving annual production guidance of 190,000 to 210,000 ounces at a site sustaining cost of under US$1,350/oz. Considering the strong rise in the gold price during 2025 significantly increased royalty costs, this was another outstanding annual result for Sanbrado and the 5th consecutive year of either meeting or beating guidance.
"The ramp up of Kiaka production saw excellent progress in its first full quarter since startup, with 62,287 ounces of gold produced at a site sustaining cost of US$1,649/oz, bringing annual 2025 gold production to 95,155 ounces.
"WAF group produced 300,383 ounces of gold in 2025 and achieved annual guidance of 290,000 to 360,000 ounces. We look forward to releasing WAF’s 2026 annual production guidance and outlining our capital management strategy later in Q1 2026.”

We're pleased to report on diamond drilling results from below the M5 North open-pit ore reserve at our Sanbrado Gold Operations in Burkina Faso.
Our Executive Chairman and CEO Richard Hyde commented: “Drilling 200 to 400m beneath the M5 North open-pit Ore Reserve has confirmed potential for WAF to extend open-pit mining at Sanbrado. Thick zones of gold mineralisation have been returned from the current drilling program including 16m at 11.2 g/t gold and 45m at 1.9 g/t gold.
“WAF is currently halfway through the M5 North drilling program, which is expected to be completed in Q1 2026. Current estimates indicate an open-pit cutback at M5 would boost production towards the end of and beyond the current 10 year production plan."

West African Resources advises that, following the Burkina Faso Government’s request to acquire an additional equity interest in Kiaka SA, it has held discussions with the Government aimed at advancing and promoting the long-term sustainable growth of the country’s gold mining industry.
Our Executive Chairman and CEO Richard Hyde commented: “We appreciate the constructive engagement and continued support of the Government of Burkina Faso. Our discussions regarding the ownership structure of our recently constructed Kiaka Project have reflected a shared vision to develop a strong and sustainable mining industry that benefits the Burkinabé people and delivers long-term value for all stakeholders. Sanbrado and Toega have not been part of these discussions.
“Operations at Sanbrado and Kiaka have remained unaffected throughout this engagement with the Government. We remain on track to achieve group production guidance of 290,000 - 360,000oz gold in CY2025.”

$WAF June 2025 Half Year Financial Report:

West African Executive Chairman and CEO Richard Hyde commented:
“WAF has delivered another outstanding half year result with a profit after tax of A$215 million from revenue of A$477 million and operating cash flow of A$159 million.
“Our unhedged resources now stand at 12.2 million ounces of gold and ore reserves at 6.5 million ounces of gold.”

West African Resources CEO and Executive Chairman Richard Hyde is interviewed in the August edition of @Paydirt_Media magazine, below.
Speaking with Paydirt Editor Dominic Piper, Richard discusses Sanbrado’s consistently strong performance, the ramp up underway at Kiaka and first gold poured ahead of schedule in June – and the company continuing to exceed expectations.
“The reality is, we have never missed guidance since we started more than four years ago,” he tells the publication. “When the opportunity presented itself to take on Kiaka as a second project, it made a lot of sense.”
He adds: “Most investors will be thinking about what is next given the success on both project builds. All I can say is we are looking to bed down the operation at Kiaka, make money and pay down the debt. After that, there will definitely be more drilling and studies into increased throughput on both projects. Once all of this is complete, then we will see what we can do corporately.
“Opportunities may present themselves and we are ready. There are not many companies around with two mines in a single jurisdiction doing 500,000 ozpa. We have taken calculated risk to get where we are and I don’t think there is a company which is better set up, with the bench strength we have, to do it again.”
