All amounts are in USD unless stated otherwise BROSSARD, QC, Feb. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - G Mining Ventures Corp. ("GMIN" or the "Corporation") (TSX: GMIN) (OTCQX: GMINF) is pleased to provide an update on year-end 2024 mineral reserves and mineral resources ("MRMR") and announce the updated mineral resource estimate ("MRE") for its 100% owned advanced exploration-stage Gurupi Project ("Gurupi") prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") Year-End 2024 Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Update 2024 Year-End ("YE") Consolidated MRMR Highlights: Table 1: GMIN Consolidated MRMR Estimate YE 2024 (Resources inclusive of Mineral Reserves)1 1.     A full list of underlying assumptions can be found in the Appendix A section below The Gurupi Project (formerly known as the CentroGold Project) comprises 47 contiguous tenements covering ~2,100 km2 situated along +80 km of known mineralized trend The Project is located approximately 380 km southeast of Belém The mineral resource estimate ("MRE") is contained within three deposits: Blanket and Contact (Cipoeiro area) and Chega Tudo The MRE is based on 715 diamond drill holes totaling 126,193m performed between 1995 and 2019 This MRE includes 32 infill drillholes that were not included in the database for the previous Pre-Feasibility Study completed by past operator Although Blanket and Contact deposits are spatially close only a few drillholes tested the continuity of the grade in between the two representing an opportunity for growth of the mineral resources in the future.  Exploration efforts will focus on data compilation and interpretation conducting a high-resolution survey across 720 km² and completing soil sampling to follow up on historic gold showing and newly defined targets These activities aim to assess and evaluate the land package's value A budget of $2 to 4 million has been allocated for the project in 2025 Table 2: Gurupi Project Mineral Resource Estimate1 has updated its Mineral Resources and Reserves following the integration of grade control data and infill diamond drillholes The improved understanding of the deposit through these activities has led to a revision in resource estimates successfully replacing reserves and reinforcing long-term operational planning An additional 3,700 m of drilling validated the northwest extension of the TZ deposit in 2024 adding this 300 m extension in the presented Mineral Resources a total of 73 koz were processed (1.7 Mt at 1.32 g/t Au) and 128 koz were stockpiled (4.8 Mt at 0.81 g/t Au) for a total of 201 koz (6.6 Mt at 0.95 g/t Au). Total remaining reserves at year end 2024 stand at 2.03 Moz (51.1 Mt at 1.24 g/t Au) near-mine exploration of $2 million is planned to test the extension at depth and on the northwest limb of the deposit.  A regional exploration budget of $9 million is planned for 2025 to test 23 targets within a 5 km radius with the primary goal to identify additional deposits Table 3: TZ Mineral Reserves Estimate YE 20241 Table 4: TZ Mineral Resources Estimate YE 2024 (inclusive of Mineral Reserves)1 and formed the basis for the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") announced on September 9 2024 (titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment NI 43-101 Technical Report – Oko West Gold Project" The exploration effort in 2024 since acquiring the project has been to convert inferred resources to indicated The infill drilling since the PEA will support an updated resource estimate and inaugural mineral reserve estimate as part of the upcoming Feasibility Study on track for completion in Q2 2025 The long-term exploration strategy will continue to focus on exploration along strike to the south at depth and in the northwest of the property.  Table 5: Oko West Mineral Resources Estimate YE 20241 1.     A full list of underlying assumptions can be found in the Appendix A section A total of 49,000 m from 170 holes of drilling have been completed in 2024 of which 15,097 m from 55 holes since the merger with Reunion Gold on July 16th This extensive drilling successfully achieved three purposes: (i) conversion of UG resources in Block 4 (ii) close spaced drilling to support statistical tests and interpolation parameters to be used in the estimation of the OP resources within Block 4 (iii) testing the continuity of the mineralization near surface and at depth in block 5 & 6 The results demonstrate the predictability of the PEA resource model and will support a good conversion rate of inferred material into indicated material Highlights of intercepts include the following listed below The $8 million Oko West exploration program planned in 2025 will support the objective of expanding the mineral resource inventory to improve future mine plans and extend the mine's operational life The program will focus on increasing resources within the pit footprint exploring underground mineralization in Blocks 5 and 6 evaluating additional mineralized saprolite material and identifying new deposits across the land package Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results Conference Call and Webcast GMIN will release its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results on Friday GMIN's senior

The state has registered 3,484 hotspots in the first half of this year, according to data from Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research While this is just slightly more than the number recorded over the same period last year it represents a 20% jump on the number of fires recorded in 2022 With the Gurupi reserve parched by months of punishing drought and uneven rains the fires could be especially bad this year an environmental analyst at the Chico Mendes Institute for Conservation and Biodiversity (ICMBio) the federal agency in charge of managing the area “The rain came later — and there was much less of it this year,” said Mendonça we are very worried about what might happen in the coming months.” The first attempts to shield this slice of the Amazon from destruction can be traced to 1961 when Brazil’s government placed 1.6 million hectares (3.95 million acres) of the region under federal protection The aim was to safeguard this remote swath of rainforest and the Indigenous people who relied on it for their survival But keeping invaders at bay soon proved a challenge as the region was gripped by frenzied development the military dictatorship that came to power in the 1960s pushed to populate the Amazon dubbing it “land without men for men without land.” Over the next two decades it built a series of roads slicing through the rainforest Migrants from other states arrived in droves lured by promises of plentiful work and land they could raze spanning 891 kilometers (554 miles) from Maranhao’s capital to the neighboring state of Pará further intensified the wave of migration and created a new frontier of deforestation in the region timber illegally extracted from areas under protection became the economic engine of nearby towns like Buriticupu it was like the Wild West,” said Lieutenant Daniel Holanda dos Santos who is part of the environmental battalion of Maranhão’s military police and participated in operations in the Gurupi Mosaic in the early 2000s trying to take trucks full of timber out of the rainforest.” some 47.1% of the area under federal protection was already populated by loggers the government demarcated six Indigenous reserves in the 1980s The remaining rainforest was also placed under federal protection with the creation of the Gurupi Biological Reserve save for scientific research and conservation work authorities succeeded in expelling some large landowners from the northern portion of the Gurupi many of whom had been wrongly given plots of land by state agrarian reform agencies even after the reserve was created there are still some 6,300 people living within the limits of the Gurupi it’s supposed to be just forest and biodiversity,” Mendonça said “But the reality is that there is occupation.” Ananias Pereira da Silva founded the Vila Aeroporto settlement in the mid-1990s at a time when there was just “bush and loggers” in the Gurupi reserve “There was nothing there,” the 81-year-old pastor told Mongabay in an interview we planted rice so we could feed ourselves.” was settled there by the Maranhão Institute of Colonization and Lands a state organ responsible for redistributing public lands to poor families for subsistence farming constructing their village deep in the Gurupi reserve “That area belonged to no one,” said Silva whose family lives on 100 hectares (247 acres) within the Gurupi reserve federal agencies have demanded that villages like Silva’s be relocated to areas outside the reserve But state authorities have rebuffed such requests arguing that Maranhão does not have enough public lands to resettle these communities the communities within the reserve remain in limbo president of the residents’ association in Vila Aeroporto “Most of the people who live here in this area were born and raised here,” said Santos who arrived in Gurupi reserve as a newborn in 1992 a 61-year-old rancher who raises 200 head of cattle on a 145-hectare (360-acre) plot of land inside the reserve say they would give up their plots of land only if they are fairly compensated by authorities “This reserve was illegally created on top of the people already here,” said Alves who bought his plot of land from another settler in 2000 The legality of the reserve came under scrutiny in 2013 when a lawmaker proposed a bill that would have scrapped the reserve arguing that federal authorities failed to follow due process and compensate large landholders at the time of the reserve’s creation the proposed legislation failed to draw enough votes in Congress and was eventually shelved some of the settlers are demanding a revision to the boundaries of the Gurupi reserve that would leave their communities outside the region under protection But Mendonça said the idea of redrawing the limits of the reserve has “been discarded” since it would set a risky precedent “It’s a huge risk to the reserve and to the biodiversity of the Amazon in Maranhão,” she said As Brazilian agribusiness has gained more sway in the country’s legislative houses attempts to reduce the size of conservation areas Environmental advocates told Mongabay a review of the Gurupi reserve’s limits could open the door to a dramatic reduction of the area under protection with lawmakers friendly to agricultural interests likely to push for previously degraded lands ICMBio is committed to working with state authorities to relocate families that were wrongfully settled “within due legal process and respecting people’s constitutional rights,” Mendonça said “We understand many of these people are vulnerable they are fearful about the future,” she said “But we have to work towards removing them Because that’s what the law requires us to do.” say they won’t give up their land at any cost “They want to turn us into refugees,” said Silva “But we’re not leaving; there’s no way we’re giving up this land.” those who have lived here for decades are witnessing the climate changing the rains poured down during the wet season monkeys — they were all right over there,” she said pointing to a patch of receding forest across the road “It was wild here; it was all forest back then.” But the wildlife has mostly vanished in recent years as soy fields and cattle ranches have replaced much of the rainforest around her village “The deforestation made everything vanish,” she said They spray poison with their planes and all our plants die Studies >show that the annual dry season has become about a month longer over the past half-century they are now more likely to be scarce and uneven Even though tropical rainforests don’t naturally catch fire a combination of deforestation and a drier climate has made the vegetation more prone to burning blazes set by farmers would be snuffed out by the humidity they can now spread with ease through the parched canopy and reach neighboring protected areas memories are still fresh from an especially bad wildfire that invaded the reserve in 2015 The flames engulfed pristine forest that the Indigenous people who live here had fought hard for decades to protect from invaders “We spent more than a month trying to put out the fire,” said Paula Guajajara part of a group of women warriors of the forest the community formed an Indigenous fire brigade made up of 15 men The group has worked hard to reduce the risk of wildfires and educate relatives in the nine villages scattered across the 173,000-hectare (427,000-acre) territory about how climate change is altering the behavior of flames often used by Indigenous people for subsistence planting and traditional rituals fires coming in from neighboring areas like the Gurupi reserve remain a constant threat who has been working as a firefighter on the brigade for nearly a decade the group was forced to fight a major fire invading Carú from the Gurupi reserve “The fires start in these areas where there’s pasture so it takes time to get there and combat it.” ICMBio has been deploying its own brigades for years recruiting and training firefighters from nearby towns and from the settler communities themselves across a vast region like this has posed a challenge the agency has begun pushing for the creation of a volunteer brigade entirely made up of settlers occupying the reserve The hope is that the brigade can teach others in the communities about the responsible use of fire “We want them to understand that fire is as much a risk to them as it is for the forest,” she said Image by Ricardo Ferreira Esteves via Wikimedia Commons CC BY-SA 4.0) Feedback: Use this form to send a

forward […] At the four corners of the Amazon indigenous peoples develop strategies to protect the forest telegram Join our Telegram channel! telegram In the Maranhão Amazon, the group of Forest Warriors made up of indigenous people from the Guajajara people realized another way of acting in the protection of their territory: by speaking the group aims to protect the forests of the Gurupi Mosaic made up of six Indigenous Lands and a biological reserve (Rebio do Gurupi) Men from the Guajajara people had already formed the group Guardians of the Forest which worked mainly with surveillance and monitoring expeditions decided to act in another direction: raising awareness of the surroundings with lectures on the territorial rights of indigenous peoples in the neighboring villages of their territory they address the importance of environmental conservation of the forest and ecosystem services that extend to indigenous and non-indigenous people The report is by João Guilherme Nunes Cruz coordinator of the Indigenous Peoples Program of the Society held between the 4th and 6th of August in Belém (PA) Specialists from four regions of the Amazon met on the 4th in a rare and very rich exchange about the realities of each territory from the contact with this surrounding reality the women realized the socioeconomic vulnerabilities of the non-indigenous population the project “Traçando Novos Caminhos para o Bem Viver” was born by the Wirazu association in partnership with ISPN and Philanthropy Network for Social Justice (RFJS) The initiative offers families or individuals in these villages a small line of financing via microprojects for the development of productive initiatives such as vegetable gardens reforestation/nursery and small animal breeding Each selected microproject can receive financing of up to R$ 2 Cruz speaks of a sparsely forested territory in one of the most destroyed areas of the Amazon The native vegetation only resists in the protected areas the surroundings have already been destroyed for the most part Economic indices fall when socio-environmental ones also fall came the example of the work of the indigenous people of the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indigenous Land through the report of advisor Israel Correa do Vale Junior he showed a map of how indigenous people see their own territory Unlike the cartographic representation of non-indigenous people the map presented by him brought details that only indigenous people could indicate within their own territory: sacred places “The main thing is to listen to them,” said Israel It is the indigenous people who know the territory best and who travel through it more frequently They are even the ones who provide the best intelligence information to combat invasions through a platform from the NGO Kanindé (Sistema de Monitoramento de Deforestamento Kanindé they are able to carry out real-time monitoring of deforestation alerts Indigenous people are also being trained with the use of drones and information collection applications to verify alerts Israel recalls the importance of this monitoring during the pandemic All government protection actions were paralyzed The Jupaú then used their traditional knowledge combined with technology and carried out expeditions in the territory Oro Win and Cabixi) who inhabit this territory in addition to isolated indigenous peoples which originates in Mato Grosso and crosses the center of Pará the geoprocessing analyst from the Instituto Socioambiental (ISA) Thaise Rodrigues shared the experience of protecting the Xingu+ Network an articulation formed by 32 organizations of indigenous peoples riverside communities and institutions that are part of the Xingu Corridor of Protected Areas There are three axes of monitoring: remote based on satellite images and through geoprocessing and remote sensing techniques; the collaborative carried out by partners who work in the field; and the administrative and judicial which monitors processes that may affect the territory and the rights of the peoples and traditional communities in the corridor And that unfold into an advocacy component supporting local associations and communicating with society as a whole The networking of various organizations was fundamental in recent years, when deforestation in the region increased significantly and advanced into protected areas. According to the expert, it is Xingu corridor which are the Indigenous Lands and some of the most deforested Conservation Units in the entire Legal Amazon It was in this scenario that the Xingu+ Network worked to ensure protection actions in the territories and the maintenance of the rights of their communities On the Network platform, it is possible to access the map of the Xingu Observatory, with layers of deforestation, works and various other information. In addition, there is a works radar, with updates on licensing and other processes of the main works that affect the basin. check out here shared the experience of territorial protection actions and monitoring of the health emergency in the Yanomami Indigenous Land “There is a whole structure of crime that sustains environmental crime,” he said excavator machines were found working inside the IT they are not people who are fighting for their survival Despite the considerable improvement since the beginning of this year, with inspection operations carried out at the beginning of the new government, the situation is still sensitive. Senra cited the report We are still suffering: an assessment of the first months of the Yanomami emergency launched in early August by the associations Hutukara Yanomami Association (HAY) Wanasseduume Ye'kwana Association (SEDUUME) and Urihi Yanomami Association among the government's actions to achieve stabilization those focused on “logistical bottlenecks” were the most effective in withdrawing invaders especially controlling airspace and blocking large rivers On January 30, the federal government created the Air Defense Identification Zone (Zida) the measure was sustained for only six days due to pressure exerted by parliamentarians from Roraima who are associated with illegal mining the government kept three aerial “humanitarian corridors” open in order to lead to a spontaneous exit of criminals The balance points out that this measure reduced the costs of combat actions but also favored the “garimpos owners” who were able to remove part of their equipment without major damage there are rumors that some of these “businessmen” are waiting for the weakening of inspections to return to operating in the territory recalled that this exchange of experiences on the protection actions of different territories is important to form a more comprehensive accumulation of knowledge on the subject to make the measures to combat deforestation more effectively throughout the Amazon region But he also recalled that more stable results from the actions depend on the development of a local economy based on sustainable activities “While the local economies of many Amazonian municipalities are based on activities such as gold mining illegal logging and the illegal occupation of public lands command and control actions will always be mopping up the ice” as they are the main source of employment in these places” this new economy also depends on command and control as activities such as the exploitation of non-timber forest products do not compete economically with the activities they destroy The most relevant news for you to form your opinion on the socio-environmental agenda LAST ISSUE CentroGold hosts an indicated resource of 1.7 million ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 0.6 million ounces G Mining Ventures Corp.

One of an estimated 240 indigenous tribes in Brazil, the Awá is unusual in that many of its members have never made contact with the outside world. Survival International has listed the Awá as the most threatened indigenous group on Earth “The uncontacted Awá are one of the most vulnerable peoples on the planet,” says Shenker When outsiders first made contact in the 1970s the meetings were quickly followed by outbreaks of influenza pneumonia and other illnesses for which the Awá had no resistance Entire families were decimated in a matter of weeks and many of those that survived understandably withdrew from further contact their right to remain undisturbed is being repeatedly violated as loggers encroach on indigenous land and devastate the forest resources they rely upon At the COP-21 sustainable innovation forum in Paris in 2015 Brazil made an international commitment to cut illegal deforestation in the Amazon to zero and to restore 12 million hectares (46,332 square miles) of cleared forest by 2030 some government representatives in Maranhão have pursued legislation to reduce protection of protected areas and indigenous lands While most of the states’ remaining forest lies in protected areas around 20 percent exists as small fragments on privately owned rural properties These fragments are steadily being degraded and lost even though the owners of properties in Amazon forest are required under the federal Native Vegetation Protection Law to protect 80 percent of their land as a legal reserve and are limited as to the area they can legally use for agriculture or cattle ranching and by removing protections for some fragile environments such as lakes and periodic springs The new code also relaxes requirements for land restoration on rural properties with a deficit of legal reserve land by allowing landowners to compensate with native vegetation on another property The compensating land could be located in another watershed or even another state ignoring the impact of the loss of forest on local ecosystem services and on local biodiversity the Maranhão Amazon Forest Conservation Network a multi-institutional group of researchers called for a policy of zero deforestation in the state going well beyond the requirements of the 2012 Native Vegetation Protection Law The network also called for the enforcement of environmental laws in existing protected areas and for the restoration of damaged forests is to remove the cause of degradation — illegal logging and slash-and-burn agriculture — and allow natural succession to replace the original vegetation a process which can take anywhere from 30 to 80 years Recovering secondary forests now cover nearly 20,000 square kilometres (7,722 square miles) in the state — 27 percent of the deforested area — and those areas are seen as essential to the recovery of Maranhão‘s forests Secondary forests also help maintain connectivity between patches of primary forest “In a very degraded and fragmented landscape [regenerating] secondary forests plays a fundamental role both in conserving biodiversity and in providing ecosystem services,” such as carbon sequestration and water regulation However, these secondary forests are currently completely unprotected by law. But in 2015, Pará state instituted a ban on clearing older secondary vegetation in the middle and late stages of restoration setting a precedent that Celentano hopes can be mirrored in Maranhão The paper also advocates for the implementation of sustainable agroforestry systems which pair agricultural plantings with a complementary mixture of local trees as an alternative to native forest restoration Such systems employ a mix of fruit and timber trees resulting in a functioning ecosystem that enriches rather than degrades soil while also producing valuable crops and commodities sustainable agroforestry can replace subsistence slash-and-burn methods and offer alternative livelihoods in rural areas wildlife and forest habitat of Maranhão state Remaining primary forest and indigenous land must be protected from illegal logging and government incentives are needed that favor agroforestry techniques over slash-and-burn Secondary forest fragments should be protected and recovery programs targeted toward creating ecological corridors to connect up large primary forest fragments such a proposal goes largely against the policies of large scale agribusiness and cattle ranching presently being applied by the Brazilian government under President Michel Temer a sustainable agroforestry approach — which encourages zero deforestation — could change the lives of some of Brazil’s poorest farmers for the better and may be the only hope for the Awá and other indigenous groups in Maranhão Towards zero deforestation and forest restoration in the Amazon region of Maranhão state FEEDBACK: Use this form to send a message to the author of this post A document key must be provided in the url to view document Brazil (AP) — Warriors wielding bows and arrows elderly chieftains in face paint and nursing mothers gathered recently in a Brazilian village to debate a plan that some hope will hold at bay the loggers and other invaders threatening the nine tribes of the Tembe The sustainable development plan is meant to help the Tembe profit from the Amazon forest without ruining it They also want to keep outsiders away from their 1,080-square-mile (2,766-square-kilometer) Alto Rio Guama homeland that is officially protected but in practice under siege Recent clashes saw the Tembe burning the trucks and equipment of illegal loggers on their territory which is in a Brazilian state plagued by thousands of fires burning on cleared Amazon jungle lands Free Weekly Digest Zacks SCR Premium Forgot your password?

Armbruster originally obtained specimens of the Peckoltia greedoi in 2005 Ten years later he and other researchers were evaluating the fish's characteristics when one of them made the Star Wars connection said he and his colleagues often name species after each other "I have named a few species after colleagues like Peckoltia lujani for my former student and Peckoltia sabaji for a close friend and colleague "I've also had former students name species for me."

But scientists have just 'found' 657 barrier islands along the world's coastlines. Using satellite images, topographical maps and navigational charts they have identified a total of 2,149 such islands worldwide. This is significantly higher than the 1,492 identified in a 2001 survey conducted without the aid of publicly available satellite imagery. Previous identification issues included determining whether land was part of the mainland, or a distinct island. The southern coastline of New York's Long Island is perhpas the best-known example of a barrier island. Scientists are still unclear as to exactly how they are formed, and they are generally - but not always - found on coastal areas with low tide variation. However, their importance to marine life is well documented. They help protect low-lying mainland coasts against erosion and storm damage, and can be important wildlife habitats. They make up roughly 10 per cent of the Earth's continental shorelines and 74 per cent are found in the northern hemisphere. However, the 657 'new' islands haven't just appeared in the last decade. They have long existed but were overlooked or misclassified in past surveys, according to the study by researchers from Duke University and Meredith College, both in North Carolina. Previously, for instance, scientists believed barrier islands couldn't exist in locations with seasonal tides of more than four metres. Yet the new survey identifies the world's longest chain of barrier islands along a stretch of the equatorial coast of Brazil, where spring tides reach seven metres. The 54-island chain extends 571kms along the fringe of a mangrove forest south of the mouth of the Amazon River. Past surveys didn't recognise it as a barrier island coast partly because older, low-resolution satellite images didn't show a clear separation between the islands and mangrove, Meredith College researcher Matthew L Stutz said. It also wasn't recognised because the chain didn't match the wave-tide criteria used to classify barrier islands in the U.S., where most studies have been conducted. Scientists failed to consider that supplies of replenishing sand are so plentiful along the equatorial Brazilian coast that they can compensate for the erosion caused by higher spring tides. The U.S. has the most barrier islands, with 405, including those along the Alaskan-Arctic shoreline. The survey results appear in the current issue of Journal of Coastal Research. Barrier islands exist in every climate and in every tide-wave combination mOrrin H Pilkey, an environmental scientist from Duke University, said: 'This provides proof that barrier islands exist in every climate and in every tide-wave combination. 'We found that everywhere there is a flat piece of land next to the coast, a reasonable supply of sand, enough waves to move sand or sediment about, and a recent sea-level rise that caused a crooked shoreline, barrier islands exist.' Unlike stationary landforms, barrier islands build up, erode, migrate and rebuild over time in response to waves, tides, currents and other physical processes in the open ocean environment. The researchers said the survey's findings illustrate the need for a new way to classify and study barrier islands, one that takes into account the complex interplay of local, regional and global variables that shape where the islands form and how they evolve. Mr Pilkey added: 'The potential for significant climate and sea level change this century underscores the need to improve our understanding of the fundamental roles these factors have played historically in island evolution, in order to help us better predict future impacts. 'Barrier islands, especially in the temperate zone, are under tremendous development pressure, a rush to the ocean-front that ironically is timed to a period of rising sea levels and shoreline retreat.' A developed barrier island, held in place by seawalls, jetties or groins, can't migrate as 'it essentially becomes a sitting duck unable to respond to the changes occurring around it'.
