Generation Mining Board Re-elected, Marathon Project NPV C$1.07B

TORONTO – Generation Mining shareholders voted to re-elect all six director nominees at the annual meeting Thursday. The slate, listed in the company's May 14 management information circular, will serve until the next annual meeting or until successors are elected.

The company is focused on the Marathon Project, a copper-palladium deposit in Northwestern Ontario. A feasibility study with a Nov. 1, 2024 effective date put the project's net present value at C$1.07 billion using a 6% discount rate. The internal rate of return was estimated at 28%, with a 1.9-year payback based on trailing three-year average metal prices.

Over a planned 13-year mine life, Marathon is expected to produce roughly 2.16 million ounces of palladium, 532 million pounds of copper, 488,000 ounces of platinum, 160,000 ounces of gold and 3.05 million ounces of silver in payable metals. Those figures come from the technical report filed under the company's SEDAR profile.

Daniel Janusauskas, technical services manager at Generation PGM and a qualified person under NI 43-101, reviewed and approved the scientific and technical content of the release.

The board election itself was a routine procedural item. The project economics, however, give the company a long-dated development option in a metals market where copper and palladium supply faces structural constraints. Generation Mining has not announced a construction decision or financing plan. The feasibility study remains the most current public estimate of the project's value.
