Clive Line, CFO of Serabi commented,

"Gold sales completed during the nine months to 30 September 2021 have totalled 25,434 ounces with total production for the period being 26,190 ounces with the third quarter representing another solid quarter of production with 9,035 ounces of gold.

"Operating costs have increased year on year by US$2.3 million, following the return of contractors to undertake underground drilling activities. US$1.0 million has been incurred in underground drilling year to date to improve short term and long term mine planning. Labour costs have also increased by US$0.76 million compared with 2020 reflecting the return to normal working routines compared with the lower staffing levels experienced during 2020 when at the peak of the pandemic it was necessary to reduce staff headcount at the mine sites.

PRESS RELEASE 30 NOVEMBER 2021

SERABI GOLD plc ("Serabi" or "the Company")

"Whilst the AISC for the year to date of US$1,307 per ounce is slightly higher than that for the equivalent period in 2020, this is reflective of the increased level of mine development. The cash cost of production has reduced by 4% to US$976 per ounce.

"Cash holdings of US$15.2 million at the end of the period reflect operating cash flow of US$8.15 million from the Palito Complex operations, including mine development of US$3.8 million. Expenditure during the last 3 months on the Coringa operation has increased significantly following the start of the initial mine development including the establishment of the mine portal for the Serra deposit. The ramp has now achieved approximately 90 metres of development. Expenditure on the project in the nine months to the end of September was US$3.0 million with US$1.7 million incurred in the third quarter.

"Expenditure on purchases of new plant and equipment, exploration activities and the development of Coringa has totalled US$8.7 million for the year to date which has been met by the cash flow being generated by the current production operations.

"The financial results reflect the continuing benefits of solid gold production over the first nine months of 2021, a continued strong gold price and favourable exchange rates resulting in an EBITDA of US$15 million for the year to date.

"Gold prices, in USD terms, have fluctuated over the last two months in reaction to perceptions of world economies starting to improve and in particular signals of future interest rate increases in the United States and risk appetite. These fluctuations generally have been following movements in the US dollar against other world currencies and has been reflected in the relative movements of the Brazilian Real. The gold price in BRL terms remains strong."

Assay Results

Assay results reported within this release are those provided by the Company's own on- site laboratory facilities at Palito and have not yet been independently verified. Serabi closely monitors the performance of its own facility against results from independent laboratory analysis for quality control purpose. As a matter of normal practice, the Company sends duplicate samples derived from a variety of the Company's activities to accredited laboratory facilities for independent verification. Since mid-2019, over 10,000 exploration drill core samples have been assayed at both the Palito laboratory and certified external laboratory, in most cases the ALS laboratory in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. When comparing significant assays with grades exceeding 1 g/t gold, comparison between Palito versus external results record an average over-estimation by the Palito laboratory of 6.7% over this period. Based on the results of this work, the Company's management are satisfied that the Company's own facility shows sufficiently good correlation with independent laboratory facilities for exploration drill samples. The Company would expect that in the preparation of any future independent Reserve/Resource statement undertaken in compliance with a recognised standard, the independent authors of such a statement would not use Palito assay results without sufficient duplicates from an appropriately certificated laboratory.
