TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Xanadu Mines Ltd (ASX: XAM, TSX: XAM) (Xanadu, XAM or the Company) announces that the Company has filed an independent National Instrument 43-101 technical report titled National Instrument 43-101 Report, Kharmagtai Copper-Gold Project, South Gobi, Mongolia, effective 10 October 2024.

The NI 43-101 Technical Report for the Kharmagtai Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) was authored under supervision of Julien Lawerence, who is an independent Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Lawrence has reviewed and approved the technical and scientific contents of this Announcement.

The production and economic outcomes in this Technical Report report differ from those announced in the Kharmagtai PFS report lodged with ASX on 14 October 2024 due to different requirements between ASX and TSX. The principal of these differences is that under NI43-101 guidelines for a PFS, any material which is not included in the Ore Reserve cannot contribute to the production and financial outcomes of the study, whereas under ASX they can be included. Please refer to the Technical Report for detail.

The Technical Report has been classified in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Standards (CIM, 2014), National Instrument NI43-101 - Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects and with the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC Code 2012 Edition).

The Technical Report, dated 13 January 2025, may be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at https://www.sedarplus.ca and at www.xanadumines.com.
