("Altamira" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of an independently assessed
maiden mineral resource estimate for the Maria Bonita porphyry gold deposit within the Cajueiro Project
the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource (previously reported under NI 43-101)
CEO Mike Bennett commented; "We are thrilled with the maiden mineral resource estimate for our Maria Bonita project
This is a transformational step forward for the company and
together with the existing resources at Cajueiro
doubles Altamira's Indicated and Inferred resource base
The mineralization at Maria Bonita is notably coherent and regular
with higher grades returned from near surface material
Coupled with our portfolio of nine drill-ready targets within the Cajueiro district
we now have an excellent opportunity to add to these resources through both the expansion of the defined mineral resources at both Maria Bonita and Cajueiro Central
and additional discoveries of porphyry-related mineralization in the district
We will be mobilising a drill rig shortly to continue testing of the extensions to the Maria Bonita mineralization and our district targets
We look forward to the continued delineation of the deposit and unlocking the potential of the other eight targets."
The Cajueiro project is located approximately 75km NW of the town of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato Grosso (Figure 1) in central western Brazil
lies on open farmland and has grid power and a local water supply (Figure1)

The Cajueiro Central project has current NI 43-101 resources* of 5.66Mt @ 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt @ 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000 oz in the Inferred Resource category (estimated using a gold price of US$1,500/oz)
The maiden mineral resource estimate for Maria Bonita was completed by VMG Consultoria e Soluções Ltda of Belo Horizonte
Brazil under the direction of Volodymyr Myadzel PhD
The estimate is based on drilling undertaken by Altamira between August 2022 and April 2024
A total of thirty-one diamond drillholes (4,710m) have been completed at the Maria Bonita target
twenty-nine drill holes were used to estimate the mineral resource (4,518m)
The parameters used to constrain a pit shell in the mineral resource estimate process are presented in Table 1
The resource estimations are based on a block model interpolated by the Ordinary Kriging (OK) method
The block model was created using wireframes and filled with blocks measuring 25 (X) by 25 (Y) by 10 (Z) metres
The radii and the orientation of the search ellipses were determined using standard variograms
All Inferred Resources and Indicated Resources are defined in accordance with the Canadian Institute of Mining
Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014) (the "CIM Standards")
a wireframe that encompasses the area with a 50×50 and 50×100 metre regular drilling grid was created
an average of 3 holes and 8 composite samples were used
The other blocks were classified as Inferred Resources
The block model was validated in several ways: by running an Inverse Distance Weighted interpolation and comparing the results
and by comparing the means and standard deviations of the block grades to the composite data set
an open pit mining configuration was used and
an agitated leach gold recovery was assumed
Industry standard assumptions on unit costs and other parameters were applied

Open-pit Indicated Resources are 24.19Mt @ 0.46g/t (for a total of 357,800oz) and Total Inferred Resources are 25.64Mt @ 0.44g/t (for a total of 362,400oz)
These resources include near-surface saprolite Indicated resources of 2,02Mt @ 0.59g/t (for a total of 38,000oz) and Inferred Resources of 0.68t @ 0.40g/t (for a total of 8,700oz)
These resources were calculated using a 0.2 g/t gold cut-off grade and were estimated for the volume of mineralized material drill tested to date
Of particular importance in the resource estimate is the uniform style of mineralization and the regular grade distribution

(“Altamira” or the “Company”) (OTCQB:CYTOF)
a company dedicated to developing and commercializing RNA delivery technology for targets beyond the liver
today provided a business update and reported its full year 2024 financial results
"Altamira made great progress in its core business of RNA delivery in 2024," commented Thomas Meyer
"The successful testing of our xPhore platform with circular RNA
was just one major achievement among many others
We look forward to developing and supplying innovative nanoparticles to partners in pharma and biotech for the safe and effective delivery of various types of RNA molecules to targets beyond the liver
To maximize the potential of our RNA delivery business
we took the first steps towards partially spinning it off to private equity investors
We intend to complete this process in the coming months.”
Altamira made further progress with the development of its peptide based xPhore™ nanoparticle platform
The technology allows for extrahepatic RNA delivery
the nanoparticles disassemble and release their RNA payload at substantially higher rates than lipid nanoparticles (LNPs)
part of the Company’s expanding research and development team moved to the Switzerland Innovation Park in Allschwil near Basel
the Company has access to modern and well-equipped lab facilities to support its growing activities
The key focus for the development activities has been on nanoparticle formulation and process development for nanoparticle manufacturing
Important progress was achieved with the development and refinement of analytical methods
the reproducibility of manufacturing and stability of the nanoparticles
the xPhore™ platform was successfully tested also for circular mRNA (circRNA)
In vitro experiments demonstrated successful transfection of cells and significantly higher protein expression than with linear mRNA
based on which the Company filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent Office (USPTO)
CircRNA has been attracting substantial interest in drug development thanks to enhanced protein expression and greater stability compared to linear mRNA
Altamira is pursuing with the RNA delivery business a ‘picks and shovels’ strategy based on the licensing of its xPhore™ platform technology to partners in the biotech and pharma industry for use in their own RNA drug product development programs
The platform is adapted for the specific requirements of different RNA modalities: OligoPhore™ for oligonucleotides
the Company has set up collaborations with three partners
Altamira expects to sign up at least two more partners in the course of 2025
The Company intends to grow the RNA delivery business
which it operates through its Swiss subsidiary Altamira Therapeutics AG (“ATAG”)
by involving private equity investors for its funding
Altamira aims to spin off a majority of ATAG’s share capital and has initiated the process for the legal and organizational carve-out of the entity
Altamira made further progress also with its non-core activities (“legacy assets”)
The Company’s associate Altamira Medica AG (“Medica”)
preservative free nasal spray for the treatment of allergic rhinitis
agreed with two of its international distributors on the expansion of their exclusive distribution territories (Southeast Asia
Marketing approval for Mainland China is expected for 2025
With the USPTO’s allowance of a patent covering the composition of Bentrio®
a major milestone was reached for the intended US commercialization
Bentrio® has already been cleared by the FDA and shall be marketed in the US through a licensing partner; discussions are ongoing
Medica is in the process of transitioning Bentrio® from a Class I to a Class IIa medical device under the new EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR)
Partnering discussions are also ongoing regarding AM-125
a patented nasal spray for the treatment of acute vestibular syndrome (AVS)
which may be developed also for various other disorders of the central nervous system
which in the traditional oral formulation is the standard of care treatment for vertigo in many countries around the world
Further legacy assets intended for partnering include AM-111
a cell-penetrating peptide for the treatment of acute hearing loss
which has orphan drug designation and is in Phase 3 clinical development
an oral small molecule for the treatment of tinnitus (preclinical stage)
Full Year 2024 Financial Results and Outlook
Following the partial divestiture of the Bentrio® business in November 2023
related activities were reclassified and reported as discontinued operations for the time up to the transaction
Continuing operations comprise the RNA delivery development programs as well as those related to AM-125
Upon completion of the planned partial spin-off of its ATAG subsidiary
Altamira expects its operating expenses to decrease significantly
The Company expects to fund its operations from its cash position
proceeds from the sale of ATAG shares to private equity investors
the partnering or divestiture of legacy assets as well as from the provision of services for affiliates
Altamira intends to update its financial guidance as and when material new information will become available
notably on the planned partial spin-off of ATAG

A recent study on the cave paintings of the Altamira Cave in Santillana del Mar
Cantabria (Spain) has concluded that some of the artworks it contains could be much older than previously believed
Although the cave was discovered more than 140 years ago
the exact chronology of the artworks it contains has been a subject of debate among experts
an international team of scientists has used advanced dating techniques to more precisely determine when they were created
focused on analyzing small carbonate crusts that formed over the paintings
similar to the calcite layers seen in some caves forming stalactites and stalagmites
act as a kind of “time capsule,” as their formation can be dated
thereby establishing a minimum age for the paintings they cover
the scientists took minimal samples of these crusts using sterilized scalpels
They then applied a method known as “uranium-series dating,” which measures the natural decay of chemical elements in the samples to calculate their age
This method is less invasive than others like radiocarbon dating
which requires destroying part of the pigment
indicating that the symbol was created during the Aurignacian period
one of the earliest phases of the Upper Paleolithic
showed minimum ages of 22,600 and 32,020 years
indicating that they were made during the Gravettian period or even earlier
they have been obtained in an independent laboratory
the team corrected possible errors caused by impurities in the samples
The new data confirms the theory that the art in Altamira Cave was not created at a single moment
Different generations of prehistoric artists left their mark in the cave
from the earliest abstract symbols to the famous polychrome animal paintings of the Magdalenian period (around 14,000 years ago)
The researchers found that from very early stages
coexisted in the cave with abstract symbols
contradicting the old theory that figurative art emerged after symbolic representations
Both styles coexisted from the beginnings of the Upper Paleolithic
The results confirm that the method is reliable and that the dates previously published were correct
This is crucial not only for Altamira but also for other cave art sites around the world where similar techniques are applied
The cave was closed to the public in 2002 to protect its paintings
and today only limited access is allowed for experts
although a replica cave outside can be visited

today announced that its nanoparticle-based delivery platform was successfully tested also for circular mRNA
based on which the Company has filed a provisional patent application with the United States Patent Office (USPTO)
Altamira will start offering its platform to biotech and pharma companies for use with circular RNA under the CycloPhore™ label
complementing its offerings for siRNA (OligoPhore™) and mRNA (SemaPhore™)
“We are very excited about the potential for CycloPhore as circular mRNA has been attracting great interest in drug development thanks to enhanced protein expression and greater stability compared to linear mRNA,” commented Covadonga Pañeda
Altamira Therapeutics’ Chief Operating Officer
circular mRNA could allow for lower dosing and less frequent administrations than linear mRNA which may be very important for certain therapeutic indications or vaccines
CycloPhore provides further testimony to the versatility of our delivery platform across different RNA modalities
We expect that the expansion of our platform into this exiting new RNA modality together with the platform’s ability to deliver extrahepatically and promote strong endosomal escape will make CycloPhore an attractive tool for drug developers looking for delivery vehicles that fit their specific needs.”

Department of Energy (DOE) is allowing New Fortress Energy Inc
to export up to 1.4 million metric tons/year of LNG to non-free trade agreement (FTA) countries from its recently commissioned Fast LNG facility in Mexico
marking the first non-FTA permit granted this year
DOE staff noted ongoing concerns about U.S
including an ongoing study into the impacts of gas exports
but ultimately concluded Fast LNG’s shipments to the international market were in the public interest
“DOE is continuing to monitor market developments closely as the impact of successive authorizations of LNG exports and re-exports unfolds,” agency staff wrote in the order
“DOE also acknowledges that proposals to re-export U.S.-sourced natural gas in the form of LNG from Mexico or Canada to non-FTA countries raise public interest considerations that are not present for domestic exports of LNG.”
After becoming the first new North American LNG project to ship a commissioning cargo this year
NFE’s project has also become the first test of DOE’s response to a recent court ruling
In January, the Biden administration ordered DOE to halt considerations for pending non-FTA export permits while agency researchers compiled a market study on how the expansion of U.S
LNG export capacity since 2016 has impacted domestic fundamentals
Six months later, a federal court ruled that DOE overstepped its authority by halting the permit review process and ordered the agency to restart considerations for non-FTA licenses
the decision initially raised more questions than answers
as DOE retained most of its power to determine how long a review process can take
The facility offshore of the Altamira coast was one of at least seven commercially advanced projects in the United States and Mexico that had a pending application for a non-FTA permit impacted by DOE’s pause on new authorizations
NFE previously requested to re-export 145 Bcf/year, or 400 MMcf/d, from Texas through Altamira until 2050. It received partial authorization last March and an updated environmental assessment in December
DOE permitted Fast LNG’s non-FTA shipments until 2029
NFE could request a review to extend the permitted term through 2050 once it has a “more complete record” to evaluate export projects
Non-FTA authorization is usually considered essential for large-scale LNG export projects because of the flexibility in the customer base
While an FTA permit gives an exporter access to customers in 20 countries
including Asian buyers in Singapore and South Korea
non-FTA approval makes far more demand centers available and makes a project more attractive to financial backers and large portfolio players
With the first cargo from Fast LNG 1 nearing its destination in southern Baja California and a non-FTA permit secured
CEO Wes Edens said NFE is a step closer to expanding its reach in the global market as it grows LNG export capacity in Mexico
“This important authorization cements NFE’s position as a leading global vertically integrated gas-to-power company and enhances the marketability of our FLNG 1 asset,” Edens said
“NFE is now able to freely supply cheaper and cleaner natural gas to underserved markets across the world and further our goal of accelerating the world’s energy transition.”

The delisting from NASDAQ to OTCQB represents a significant downgrade in Altamira Therapeutics' market status and visibility
lower institutional investor participation and potentially higher trading spreads
The company's inability to maintain the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement signals underlying financial challenges
The decision to avoid a reverse stock split
doesn't address the fundamental issue of low market valuation
the company's small size and OTC status may limit its ability to raise capital efficiently
this transition typically means increased trading difficulty
potentially higher transaction costs and fewer broker-dealers willing to make markets in the stock
In simpler terms: Think of this like a store moving from a premium shopping mall (NASDAQ) to a less prominent location (OTCQB)
it gets less foot traffic and might find it harder to attract premium customers and secure financing

(“Altamira” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq:CYTO)
today provided a business update and reported its first half 2024 financial results
"We are excited to continue to gain momentum with our new core activities in RNA delivery," commented Thomas Meyer
recently published in a top-ranking scientific journal
show dramatic reductions in sarcoma and breast cancer growth following treatment with Zbtb46 mRNA delivered with our SemaPhore nanoparticle technology
The antitumor effect was further augmented when combined with anti-PD1 treatment
These impressive outcomes add to the growing body of evidence supporting the great potential of RNA therapeutics and the ability of our platform to deliver RNA molecules effectively and safely into target cells outside the liver
especially in cancer and inflammatory diseases.”
Meyer added: “We are progressing with the development of both the OligoPhore and the SemaPhore platforms as well as with our AM-401 and AM-411 flagship programs in KRAS driven cancers and in rheumatoid arthritis
benefiting from our new access to laboratory space at the Switzerland Innovation Park in the Basel area
we are evaluating our platforms for use in cardiac regeneration and for mRNA vaccines in joint projects with two partners and pursuing additional collaboration opportunities with other pharma and biotech companies
we keep working towards completion of our strategic repositioning around RNA delivery through partnering of our legacy assets in inner ear therapeutics
thanks to the recent public offering of shares
we have been able to strengthen our financial position for our transition to a much less capital-intensive business model based on contract development and licensing of our RNA delivery technology.”
Research and development activities in Altamira’s core business of RNA delivery – built on its peptide based OligoPhore™ and SemaPhore™ nanoparticle platforms – continue to progress
The key focus is on nanoparticle formulation and process development around the platforms
the evaluation and development of nanoparticles for delivery of specific siRNA or mRNA payloads for collaboration partners
and the two flagship programs AM-401 or AM-411 for treatment of KRAS driven cancers and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Evidence for the effectiveness and versatility of Altamira’s RNA delivery platforms keeps growing
as shown by two recent scientific publications:
Altamira’s own development work has resulted in significant enhancement of nanoparticle stability
which has been one of the key challenges in the handling and transport of RNA formulations
Thanks to its new flow process production method
the Company obtained formulations of OligoPhore nanoparticles which are stable in liquid form when stored at 4°C for a period of at least one month
able to withstand shaking stress without significant physicochemical changes
The ability of nanoformulations to maintain their attributes during shaking stress is essential for transportation and one of the key limitations of lipid nanoparticles
the most common type of RNA delivery vehicles
For its proprietary development programs AM-401 and AM-411
Altamira filed in the first half of 2024 patent applications with the US Patent and Trademark Office
These aim to complement the existing intellectual property and extend the duration of protection
coverage of different KRAS mutations in cancer treatment with nanoparticles comprising the OligoPhore platform and a single siRNA sequence
In vitro data confirmed the ability of polyKRASmut siRNA to knock down KRAS carrying the following mutations: G12C
which account for the majority of KRAS mutations in pancreatic
coverage of nanoparticles comprising siRNA sequences targeting the p65 protein
a component of the NF-κB transcription factor
Activation of p65 has been observed in multiple types of cancer as well as in many inflammatory diseases
p65 is a well-known key checkpoint in RA inflammation
and thought to regulate cell proliferation
The Company aims to advance both AM-401 and AM-411 to an Investigational New Drug (IND) filing with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2026 and to out-license them either following the IND or after a Phase 1 clinical trial at the latest
Altamira is pursuing with the RNA delivery business a ‘picks and shovels’ strategy based on the licensing of its platform technology to partners in the biotech and pharma industry for use in their own RNA drug product development programs
The first such collaborations have been set up:
Upon positive outcomes from these evaluations
Altamira and its partners intend to discuss and negotiate licensing agreements
Through its business development activities
the Company is pursuing additional collaboration opportunities with other pharma and biotech companies
The Company’s associate Altamira Medica AG (“Medica”) made further progress on implementing its growth strategy with Bentrio®
With two of its international distributors
it recently agreed on the expansion of their exclusive distribution territories:
discussions and negotiations for distribution in the US
The efficacy and safety of Bentrio has been demonstrated in a total of four clinical trials
Results from the largest among them (the “NASAR” study)
which enrolled 100 patients suffering from seasonal allergic rhinitis in Australia
were recently published in a peer reviewed article in one of the leading scientific journals in allergology.3 In NASAR
participants self-administered either Bentrio or saline nasal spray for two weeks 3 times per day
The study showed a statistically significant reduction in the mean daily reflective Total Nasal Symptom Score (rTNSS) for Bentrio compared to saline (p = 0.013)
as well as a statistically highly significant improvement in health-related quality of life (Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnaire
p < 0.001) and superior global ratings of efficacy by patients and investigators alike (p < 0.001)
Bentrio showed good safety and tolerability
and fewer Bentrio treated patients used relief medication and more of them enjoyed symptom-free days compared to saline treatment
In the context of its strategic pivot towards RNA delivery
Altamira divested in November 2023 a 51% stake in Medica to a Swiss private equity investor for a cash consideration of approximately $2.3 million
Altamira will be entitled to receive 25% of the future licensing income of Medica and of Medica’s value appreciation in case of a sale
which captures an additional share of the business’ upside potential
Altamira continues to work towards the partnering of its inner ear therapeutics assets
which – in the traditional oral formulation – is the standard of care treatment for vertigo in many countries around the world
A phase 2 clinical trial in Europe demonstrated that a four-week treatment course with AM-125 in AVS patients was well tolerated and helped to accelerate vestibular compensation
enabling patients to regain balance and recover faster
where oral betahistine exceptionally has not been marketed for decades
Altamira received in summer 2023 IND clearance from the FDA for a phase 2 clinical trial in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV)
BPPV accounts for 17 to 42% of all diagnosed cases; U.S
healthcare costs associated with the diagnosis of BPPV alone approach $2 billion per year.4
Continued simplification of group structure
Following the partial divestiture of the Bentrio activities in late 2023
Altamira has continued its efforts to simplify its corporate structure and align it with the strategic repositioning around its RNA delivery platform
The Company transferred its Irish subsidiary Auris Medical Ltd
to Altamira Medica AG and merged two of its subsidiaries in Basel (Switzerland)
Auris Medical AG and Altamira Therapeutics AG
The merged entity is called Altamira Therapeutics AG and continues to serve as the core operating subsidiary of the Company
the Altamira Group comprises the parent company Altamira Therapeutics Ltd
and its subsidiaries Altamira Therapeutics AG (Basel
Switzerland) as well as the associated company Altamira Medica AG (Basel
First Half 2024 Financial Results and Outlook
Following the partial divestiture of the Bentrio business
related activities have been reclassified and are reported as discontinued operations
Continuing operations thus comprise the RNA delivery development programs as well as those related to AM-125
The financial results are reported for the first time in US dollars
which the Company adopted as its new presentation currency
Altamira expects total cash needs in 2024 to be in the range of $5.8 million to $7.0 million
the Company raised $0.7 million from share issuances under the 2022 Commitment Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital Fund and gross proceeds of $4.0 million upfront from a public offering of common shares with milestone-linked warrants

energy infrastructure player New Fortress Energy (NFE) has celebrated the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) production from its floating LNG (FLNG) facility
which is made up of three repurposed jack-up rigs off the coast of Altamira
The start of liquefaction operations at New Fortress Energy’s initial 1.4 million tons per annum (mtpa) Fast LNG installation, FLNG 1
is said to establish the asset as “the fastest large-scale LNG project ever developed,” which is expected to assist in creating a new FLNG hub off the east coast of Mexico
This development has been brought to life in partnership with CFE
pairing the advancements in modular liquefaction technology with jack-up rigs or similar offshore infrastructure to enable a faster deployment schedule than traditional liquefaction facilities
Chief Financial Officer of New Fortress Energy
commented: “We are immensely proud of the dedication and hard work by our team
who have completed more than 9 million work hours
to bring this large-scale project to life at a record pace
our downstream customers now benefit from additional access to clean and reliable LNG
enabling sustained growth well into the future.”
The project, which entails the deployment of Fast LNG liquefaction infrastructure to help expand the natural gas supply to Baja California Sur
will liquefy gas supplied by the Sur de Texas-Tuxpan pipeline
With a production capacity of approximately 70 TBtus
FLNG is perceived to complete the vertical integration of NFE’s LNG portfolio
The export permit for the Altamira Fast LNG facility from Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (SENER) enables the U.S
company to export up to 7.8 million metric tons through April 2028
Department of Energy (DOE) for export of United States-sourced LNG to Mexico and other FTA countries
which intends to deploy multiple FLNG units of 1.4 mtpa
explains that the project adds more than $2 billion of infrastructure to its asset base
the project is anticipated to play a pivotal role in supplying low-cost

The SOD2 mRNA delivered with SemaPhore technology showed improved survival rates for mice with abdominal aortic aneurysm
A new published study has shown that Altamira Therapeutics‘ SemaPhore technology used with superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) mRNA has successfully treated abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in a mouse model
Preclinical data showed a significant reduction in aorta dilation
and a highly significant improvement in survival rates compared to untreated controls in mice with AAA who had been treated with SOD2 mRNA delivered systemically with peptide-based nanoparticles
Altamira’s SemaPhore technology uses nanoparticles to deliver mRNA – specific genetic instructions – into cells
These nanoparticles protect the mRNA as it travels through the body and help it enter the target cells
An AAA is a localised enlargement of the lower part of the aorta
the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body
This can lead to life-threatening internal bleeding if it ruptures
SOD2 is an enzyme that reduces harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS)
high ROS levels cause inflammation and damage to the artery wall
which can slow AAA progression and prevent rupture
The company was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Hamilton
It currently has two preclinical siRNA programmes which use its SemaPhore technology: AM-401 for KRAS-driven cancer and AM-411 for rheumatoid arthritis
Altamira’s chief scientific officer and co-author of the study Samuel Wicklin said: “Using SOD2 mRNA to modulate oxidative stress appears a very promising approach in various challenging cardiovascular disorders such as abdominal aortic aneurysm or atherosclerosis and in other inflammatory or degenerative disease where ROS is a critical disease driver.”

energy infrastructure player New Fortress Energy (NFE) has completed the first cargo load and sail operation at its floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) unit off the coast of Altamira
The first LNG cargo comes days after the start of production at NFE’s inaugural Fast LNG installation
which is made up of three repurposed jack-up rigs off the coast of Altamira with a capacity of 1.4 million tons per annum (mtpa)
Since the start-up was originally expected to occur at the beginning of the second quarter
the delays in placing the FLNG 1 project into service have been estimated to cost the firm approximately $150 million per quarter in lost operating margin
“We’re excited to announce first cargo load & sail at our first Fast LNG project
The first cargo has been loaded onto the Energos Princess and will be delivered to our La Paz
We’re excited to begin supplying our customers with our own LNG – a significant milestone for our company and the world of LNG,” highlighted New Fortress Energy
Energos Infrastructure’s Energos Princess LNG carrier (LNGC) is now on its way to Mexico’s terminal to unload the first cargo
The FLNG is due to undertake a scheduled maintenance program
it will be out of commission with the outage expected to last for several days
The unit will resume operations and reach full production later this month
Recently, NFE completed its previously announced $700 million loan for its second unit, FLNG 2
with construction works slated to be finished in the first half of 2026
company has received the all-clear to export up to 7.8 million metric tons through April 2028 from the Altamira Fast LNG facility
The export permit came from Mexico’s Ministry of Energy (SENER) after the project secured authorization from the U.S

(NFE) has reportedly achieved first LNG at its export terminal offshore of Altamira
indicating it could be close to loading Mexico’s first export cargo
coincided with the company’s guidance that it could begin loading cargoes in mid-July
the company disclosed it had achieved its goal of achieving the fastest timeline from construction to first LNG for a large-scale export facility with the start of liquefaction at Altamira
“First LNG represents a transformative moment for our company and the industry as a whole
and reaffirms our position as a fully-integrated leader in the global LNG market,” CEO Wes Edens said
Crews last summer began installing the floating modules offshore the state of Tamaulipas
Gas connections to existing infrastructure near the existing import terminal at Altamira were completed in November
[Check out a Special Edition of NGI's Daily Gas Price Index, 'Ports Unknown,' to delve into the price impacts of new LNG supplies, and where those supplies will be needed most later this decade and beyond. Download now.]
In late April, NFE reported a malfunction with the facility’s cold box that resulted in some minor injuries and released perlite that was being used during system testing
The issue further delayed the facility’s first export
NGI’s forward fixed prices at Agua Dulce for August delivery were $1.697/MMBtu as of Friday, versus $1.65 for the summer balance. Summer 2025 prices were trading at $2.644. Agua Dulce basis prices were quoted 54.4 cents below Henry Hub for summer 2024
and 47.8 cents below the benchmark for summer 2025
While NFE is nearing its next milestone for the project
analysts with Wood Mackenzie noted that it could take several more weeks for the Energos Princess to actually leave Altamira’s anchorage with a tanker full of LNG
“Considering the project’s evolution in the past year or so
we do not rule out a new delay that could push Altamira’s first commercial LNG shipment to August,” analysts wrote in a recent note
there are a few possible destinations for Mexico’s first export cargo
NFE previously received a permit to export to FTA countries, allowing it to ship volumes to its existing customers in Puerto Rico or to import facilities in the United States. U.S. Customs and Border Protection ruled earlier this year that transportation of LNG produced offshore Altamira by non-U.S. qualified vessels would not violate the Jones Act
Altamira is one of at least seven commercially advanced projects in the United States and Mexico with a pending application for a non-free trade agreement (FTA) permit impacted by the Department of Energy’s pause on new authorizations

Highlights: A new target has been defined at Serafim
located 2km east of the existing Mineral Resource where rock chip sampling identified a hydrothermal breccia containing clasts of veined porphyry intrusive
This included a grab rock sample+ of 5.6 g/t gold
a grab rock sample returned an assay of 7.8 g/t gold with all 10 rock chip samples averaging 3.2 g/t gold and with all samples recording greater than 1g/t gold
A 50-metre trench outlined three mineralized intervals within which 31 metres averages greater than 0.25 g/t gold (peak value 1m at 6.5 g/t gold)
with the mineralization open at both ends of the trench
Trenching at the Guillermo prospect has returned two intervals defining future drill targets within quartz veined and altered volcanic host rocks
with a coherent interval of 35 metres at 0.5 g/t gold
CEO Mike Bennett commented; “Our ongoing field program of soil sampling
continues to successfully define new targets
Our recent discovery of further evidence of porphyry-related gold mineralization at Serafim
brings the current inventory of new drill target areas in the Cajueiro project
This latest discovery remains at a very early stage but is a very positive indicator and supports our thesis that the district-scale gold occurrences
identified to date over an east-west distance of 14km
are most likely part of the same porphyry-related mineralizing event within this expanding gold district
The results from Tavares Norte and Guillermo also define drill targets on extensive zones of surface gold mineralization.”
The Cajueiro project is located approximately 75km NW of the town of Alta Floresta in the state of Mato Grosso western central Brazil
lies on open farmland and has grid power and a local water supply
Cajueiro is the most advanced of three key projects that Altamira controls in the region
the other two being Apiacas and Santa Helena
The Cajueiro Central project has current NI 43-101 resources* of 5.66Mt at 1.02 g/t gold for a total of 185,000 oz in the Indicated Resource category and 12.66Mt at 1.26 g/t gold for a total of 515,000 oz in the Inferred Resource category (estimated using a gold price of US$1,500/oz)
Reconnaissance drilling at the Maria Bonita target
located 7km west of the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource
identified the first porphyry-hosted gold discovery at Cajueiro and returned gold values up to 146m at 1g/t gold (from 23 metres depth)
soil sampling and proprietary drone magnetics continues to develop new targets in the Cajueiro district
An east-west corridor of intrusive-related prospects
lies between major structures that were later reactivated and intruded by regional-scale gabbro dykes that extend over tens of kilometres
there are five prospects from Novo Sonho in the west to Guillermo in the east
lies the Cajueiro Mineral Resource and two active prospects at Espirro and Serafim
two trenches have been excavated and sampled
The underlying rocks are sericite altered tuffs
interpreted as overlying a mineralizing felsic intrusive at shallow depth
The Tavares Norte prospect is located 1km NW of the central resource area
The current soil anomaly extends for some 1,300 metres x 1,800 metres and small felsic intrusives are interpreted to underlie the soil anomaly
Surface rock chip grab sampling+ across the prospect returned an average grade of 3.2 g/t gold from 10 samples with a highest value of 7.8 g/t gold
A single trench was excavated alongside a dirt road traversing the anomaly in a north-east direction in the eastern sector of the prospect and returned three intervals of interest; 23 metres at 0.25 g/t gold
2 metres at 3.27 g/t gold and 6 metres at 0.38 g/t gold
located 1,000 metres north of the central resource area
8 additional grab rock chip samples+ returned an average of 0.28 g/t gold
with a peak value of 0.71 g/t gold and all samples returning greater than 0.1 g/t gold
A single drill hole completed in 2017 intersected 65 metres of intrusive breccia containing dominantly volcanic wall-rock clasts
Trenching at Guillermo has defined two zones of interest for drill testing
The rocks exposed in the trenches are felsic volcanics intruded by small stocks or dykes of altered and veined felsic igneous rocks
Results received to date include 35 metres at 0.45 g/t gold
7 metres at 0.22 g/t gold and 7.6 metres at 0.41 g/t gold
These results demonstrate that the intrusive rocks carry anomalous gold and warrant drill testing to confirm the subsurface continuity and grade trend of the trench intervals
Soil sample and drone magnetic results are pending over parts of the grid
In a similar manner to the Maria Bonita area
mineralized porphyry intrusives are cut by later
barren phases of the inferred same felsic intrusive suite
Dating studies are ongoing to better interpret the age relationships
Grab sampling+ of float breccia boulders at the Serafim prospect returned one sample containing 5.57 g/t gold
This sample is a breccia containing clasts of quartz veined porphyry intrusive which are interpreted to have been derived from the roof zone of a porphyry intrusive
These new results underline the emerging context of a set of porphyry-related gold occurrences within a defined structural corridor that shows evidence of at least four episodes of multiphase intrusive activity
pointing to a deep and reactivated set of structurally controlled magma conduits
with positive gold in soil and rock sampling

These new results underline the emerging context of a set of porphyry-related gold occurrences within a defined structural corridor that shows evidence of at least four episodes of multiphase intrusive activity, pointing to a deep and reactivated set of structurally controlled magma conduits.
These favourable structural settings, with positive gold in soil and rock sampling, now provide a set of targets for scout drilling to extend the inventory of mineralization outside the Cajueiro Central Mineral Resource and the Maria Bonita discovery.
Guillermo Hughes, FAIG and M AusIMM., a consultant to the Company as well as a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, supervised the preparation of the technical information in this news release.
Ongoing exploration and fieldwork at Cajueiro indicate the presence of multiple porphyry gold systems, reinforcing its potential for district-scale development. These hard-rock gold sources align with historical alluvial gold production, highlighting the region's exceptional gold endowment and scalability. With a rich geological setting and a track record of significant discoveries, the Company is well-positioned to unlock further value across its expansive land package.
