About Loncor Gold Inc.
Loncor is a Canadian gold exploration company focussed on the Ngayu
Greenstone Gold Belt in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (the
"DRC"). The Loncor team has over two decades of
experience of operating in the DRC. Loncor's growing resource
base in the Ngayu Belt currently comprises the Imbo and Makapela
Projects. At the Imbo Project, the Adumbi deposit holds an
indicated mineral resource of 1.88 million ounces of gold (28.185
million tonnes grading 2.08 g/t gold), and the Adumbi deposit and
two neighbouring deposits hold an inferred mineral resource of
2.090 million ounces of gold (22.508 million tonnes grading 2.89
g/t Au), with 84.68% of these resources being attributable to
Loncor. Following a drilling program carried out by the
Company at the Adumbi deposit in 2020 and 2021, the Company
completed a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the Adumbi
deposit and announced the results of the PEA in December
2021. The Makapela Project (which is 100%-owned by Loncor and
is located approximately 50 kilometres from the Imbo Project) has
an indicated mineral resource of 614,200 ounces of gold (2.20
million tonnes grading 8.66 g/t Au) and an inferred mineral
resource of 549,600 ounces of gold (3.22 million tonnes grading
5.30 g/t Au).

Cautionary Note Concerning Forward-Looking
Information
This press release contains
forward-looking information. All statements, other than
statements of historical fact, that address activities, events or
developments that the Company believes, expects or anticipates will
or may occur in the future (including, without limitation,
statements regarding mineral resource estimates, potential mineral
resource increases, potential mineralization, future exploration
and development) are forward-looking information. This
forward-looking information reflects the current expectations or
beliefs of the Company based on information currently available to
the Company. Forward-looking information is subject to a
number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results
of the Company to differ materially from those discussed in the
forward-looking information, and even if such actual results are
realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that
they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on the
Company. Factors that could cause actual results or events to
differ materially from current expectations include, among other
things, the possibility that future exploration (including
drilling) or development results will not be consistent with the
Company's expectations, risks related to the exploration stage of
the Company's properties, uncertainties relating to the
availability and costs of financing needed in the future, failure
to establish estimated mineral resources (the Company's mineral
resource figures are estimates and no assurances can be given that
the indicated levels of gold will be produced), changes in world
gold markets or equity markets, political developments in the DRC,
gold recoveries being less than those indicated by the
metallurgical testwork carried out to date (there can be no
assurance that gold recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will
be duplicated in large tests under on-site conditions or during
production), fluctuations in currency exchange rates, inflation,
changes to regulations affecting the Company's activities, delays
in obtaining or failure to obtain required project approvals, the
uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other
geological data and the other risks disclosed under the heading
"Risk Factors" and elsewhere in the Company's annual information
form dated March 31, 2023 filed on
SEDAR at www.sedar.com and EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
Forward-looking information speaks only as of the date on which it
is provided and, except as may be required by applicable securities
laws, the Company disclaims any intent or obligation to update any
forward-looking information, whether as a result of new
information, future events or results or otherwise. Although
the Company believes that the assumptions inherent in the
forward-looking information are reasonable, forward-looking
information is not a guarantee of future performance and
accordingly undue reliance should not be put on such information
due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
