Important Disclaimer

1. General Disclaimer

Black & Yellow Minerals SARL (“BYM,” “the Company”) provides this website for general corporate and informational purposes only.

The content herein does not constitute investment, legal, tax, or financial advice. Nothing on this site should be interpreted as an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, commodity, or financial instrument in any jurisdiction where such offer or solicitation would be unlawful. The information is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

Access to certain sections — including investor materials, financial scenarios, and partnership descriptions — is intended for qualified institutional investors, professional clients, and counterparties who are appropriately licensed or exempt in their home jurisdiction. By continuing to use this site, you represent that you meet such criteria or are using the information in a personal capacity that complies with applicable law.

2. No Investment Advice

The information on this website does not constitute a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any investment or security. BYM is not registered as an investment adviser, broker-dealer, or securities intermediary in any jurisdiction. Any financial information, projections, or scenarios presented are provided solely for illustrative and informational purposes. Prospective investors should conduct their own independent due diligence and consult with qualified legal, financial, and tax advisors before making any investment decision.

3. Mineral Resource Estimates

Any references to mineral resources, reserves, or geological potential on this website are based on management assessments and available field data. These estimates have not been prepared in accordance with internationally recognized reporting codes such as the Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code (JORC 2012), National Instrument 43-101 (NI 43-101), or the South African Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (SAMREC).

Mineral resource and reserve estimation involves significant uncertainty. Actual quantities of minerals recovered may differ materially from estimates due to inherent geological variability, changes in economic conditions, mining methods, and other factors. A “qualified person” or “competent person” as defined under NI 43-101 or JORC, respectively, has not reviewed or verified the resource estimates presented on this website. Readers should not place undue reliance on such information.

4. Production Forecasts

Production targets, forecasts, and scenario analyses presented on the Site are based on management’s estimates and assumptions regarding geological conditions, equipment performance, operational efficiency, and market conditions. These forward-looking production estimates are inherently uncertain and actual production results may differ materially from those projected due to:

• Geological variability within the concession areas
• Equipment downtime, maintenance requirements, and supply chain disruptions
• Weather and seasonal conditions affecting operations
• Workforce availability and productivity variations
• Regulatory changes or permitting delays
• Security conditions in the operating area

5. Currency and Commodity Price Risks

BYM’s financial projections are sensitive to the prevailing price of gold, which is subject to significant volatility driven by global macroeconomic conditions, monetary policy, geopolitical events, and market speculation. All financial figures on this website are expressed in United States Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated.

Gold price assumptions underlying financial projections are based on recent market levels and do not represent a forecast of future prices. A sustained decline in gold prices could materially and adversely affect BYM’s projected revenues, profitability, and the economic viability of its operations. Additionally, BYM incurs operating costs in Congolese Francs (CDF) and USD, and exchange rate fluctuations may affect financial results.

6. Political and Country Risk

BYM operates exclusively in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a jurisdiction subject to elevated political, security, and regulatory risks. Investors and stakeholders should be aware of the following risk factors:

• Political instability: The DRC has experienced periods of political instability, armed conflict, and civil unrest, particularly in the eastern provinces where BYM operates
• Regulatory uncertainty: Mining regulations, tax regimes, and licensing requirements may change without notice, potentially affecting the Company’s operations and economics
• Rule of law: The legal and judicial system in the DRC may not provide the same level of protection as in more developed jurisdictions, and enforcement of contractual rights and property interests may be uncertain
• Infrastructure: Limited transportation, communication, and power infrastructure in the operating region may affect operational efficiency and cost structures
• Sanctions and compliance: Investors should independently verify that any participation in BYM’s activities complies with applicable sanctions, anti-money laundering, and know-your-customer regulations in their home jurisdictions

7. Environmental and Social Risks

Mining operations inherently involve environmental and social risks, including but not limited to land disturbance, water management challenges, waste disposal, community displacement, and biodiversity impacts. BYM is committed to progressive environmental management in compliance with the Code Minier de la RDC (2018) and applicable environmental regulations. However, there can be no assurance that all environmental and social risks will be fully mitigated.

Environmental liabilities may arise from historical or future mining activities. Changes in environmental regulations or community expectations could increase operating costs or restrict operational activities.

8. Tax Considerations

Nothing on this website constitutes tax advice. The tax consequences of investing in or transacting with BYM depend on each investor’s individual circumstances and the tax laws of their jurisdiction. Mining operations in the DRC are subject to the fiscal regime established under the Code Minier (2018), including mining royalties, corporate taxes, and various fees payable to national and provincial authorities. Prospective investors should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax implications of any investment or transaction.

9. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or resources. These links are provided for convenience only. BYM has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. Access to any third-party website linked from this Site is at your own risk.
