VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

PROMISING RESULTS FROM DRILLING

AT THE JOKISIVU GOLD MINE

This announcement is made by Dragon Mining Limited 龍資源有限公司* ("Dragon Mining" or "the Company") on a voluntary basis to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors of our latest results from drilling.

The Company is pleased to advise that the results from a campaign of underground diamond core drilling undertaken at the Company's Jokisivu Gold Mine ("Jokisivu") in southern Finland. The completed campaign targeted the footwall zones of the Arpola deposit and was designed to better define the extent and geometry of known mineralised zones and provide additional information to support future mine planning and development in this area.

The completed campaign totalled 24 holes for an advance of 2,111.5 metres. Holes were drilled from stations located on the 120m and 170m levels and targeted the area between the 120m and 210m levels. Analysis for gold returned a number of significant intercepts, including 5.75 metres @ 4.60 g/t gold, 4.55 metres @ 5.42 g/t gold, 2.10 metres @ 35.17 g/t gold, 1.10 metres @ 28.50 g/t gold, 9.45 metres @ 6.78 g/t gold, 3.75 metres @ 7.40 g/t gold, 4.85 metres @ 5.72 g/t gold and 5.95 metres @ 8.83 g/t gold. A listing of all significant intercepts above 1 g/t gold is provided in Table 1.

The results received from the campaign support existing geological models, providing confidence that the mineralised zones associated with the footwall zones of the Arpola deposit display good continuity, however the area is structurally complex and remains challenging. Further drilling will be required from other levels as the mine advances, to provide additional geological information for the footwall zones of the Arpola deposit.

Drilling at Jokisivu has now commenced on a 4,600 metre program that is targeting the Kujankallio Main Zone and Kujankallio Hinge Zone between the 420m and 500m level. The new program will continue through to the end of the year and is important for the updating of development and stope plans in the next production panel at Jokisivu.

BACKGROUND

The Jokisivu Gold Mine forms part of Dragon Mining's Vammala Production Centre in southern Finland, approximately 165 kilometres northwest of the Finnish capital Helsinki.

The Centre comprises the Vammala Plant, a 300,000 tonnes per annum conventional crushing, milling and flotation facility, the operational Jokisivu and Kaapelinkulma gold mines and the Orivesi Gold Mine that has recently been placed on care and maintenance following the exhaustion of known Ore Reserves.

The Jokisivu Gold Mine is located 40 kilometres southwest of the Vammala Plant and hosts two principal gold deposits, Kujankallio and Arpola, 200 metres apart. The deposits represent structurally controlled orogenic gold systems located within the Palaeoproterozoic Vammala Migmatite Belt. Gold mineralization at both Kujankallio and Arpola is hosted within relatively undeformed and unaltered diorite, in 1 to 5 metre wide shear zones that are characterised by laminated, pinching and swelling quartz veins.

The Kujankallio deposit has been shown by drilling to extend to at least 530 metres in depth, whilst the Arpola deposit has been drilled down to 310 metres. Both deposits remain open with depth and partially along strike.

- 2 -

Open cut mining at Kujankallio commenced in 2009 and underground production in 2011. By 30 June 2019 underground development had extended down to the 465m level, the decline is expected to reach the 500m level by the end of 2019. A small open pit was mined at Arpola in 2011 and underground production commenced from this deposit in 2014.
