Others:

In view of the recent weakening of the Russian Ruble, Auriant Mining AB (publ.) (the "Company") wishes to make the following comment. The Company's operating expenses are currently financed mainly from interest payments on loans provided by Auriant Mining AB (publ.) to its Russian subsidiary LLC "Tardan Gold" in the past (prior to 2022). The subsidiary's ability to make such interest payments is limited by restrictive measures imposed in Russia against persons from the EU and other countries that have imposed sanctions against Russia. As a result of those restrictive measures, the maximum amount that the subsidiary can pay to the Swedish parent company Auriant Mining AB (publ.) is limited to 10 MRUB per month. Since the limit is set in Russian Rubles, the Company's ability to receive sufficient funds is affected by the Russian Ruble exchange rate.

The average RUB/USD exchange rate in H1 2023 was 77.28 RUB/ USD , and the Russian Ruble continues to weaken. Auriant Mining AB (publ.) has implemented cost-cutting measures in order to proactively address the situation. In the event of further substantial weakening of the Russian Ruble, the Company may need to take further steps, such as comprehensive cost-cutting and review of contracts.
