  Content	Lead, South Dakota--(Newsfile Corp. - July 7, 2025) - Dakota Gold Corp. (NYSE American: DC) ("Dakota Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to report its S-K 1300 Initial Assessment Technical Report with economic analysis ("S-K 1300 Initial Assessment with Cash Flow", "IACF" or "Report") for the Richmond Hill Oxide Heap Leach Gold Project ("Richmond Hill" or "Project") in South Dakota. The IACF was prepared for a Measured and Indicated production plan ("M&I plan") as well as a Measured, Indicated and Inferred plan ("MI&I plan"). The IACF highlights the potential for a profitable, technically straightforward, low capital, open pit, gold heap leach operation at Richmond Hill. IACF Highlights: Dr. Robert Quartermain, Co-Chair, Director and CEO of Dakota Gold said, "Delivering this robust IACF on the back of our heap leach resource announced four months ago in February, speaks to the quality of our Project and our teams' capabilities. This is a very positive outcome for Dakota Gold and its shareholders, and it forms the platform from which we can grow and expand our mining and exploration activities in the Homestake District. We now expect to advance through Feasibility and into production as soon as 2029, based on our current work and project understanding - firmly placing Dakota Gold as having one of the largest development gold assets in the U.S." Jack Henris, President and COO of Dakota Gold commented, "Based on my experience of developing and operating gold mines globally, Richmond Hill is an exciting project. It's straightforward and comes with a wealth of data to be able to build a solid economic and environmental plan due to its location in an existing mining community. As a local South Dakotan resident living in the same county as our headquarters and Project, I could not be more pleased to see Richmond Hill being built in our backyard. The IACF M&I plan has outlined $400 million in state severance taxes over the life of mine for South Dakota and has the potential to generate hundreds of high-paying jobs and contribute to a strong economy for our community and state. I want to commend our team and contractors for completing the work for the IACF safely with zero lost time incidents or environmental incidents. Safety is our core value, and it will remain our focus as we advance through development." Table 1: IACF base case overview and key parameters Abbreviations in the table include ounces ("oz"); measured and indicated plan ("M&I plan"); measured, indicated and inferred plan ("M&I plan") million tonnes ("Mt"); ounces per tonne ("oz/ton"); grams per tonne ("g/t"); million tonnes per annum ("MTPA"); thousand ounces ("Kozs"); life of mine ("LOM"); all-in sustaining costs ("AISC"); net present value ("NPV"); internal rate of return ("IRR"). Table 2: IACF M&I plan sensitivity to gold price, costs and recovery (US$ where applicable) Sensitivity to Operating Costs, Capital Costs, and Recovery (After-Tax NPV US$M) * Recoveries above 85% are not expected and have not been calculated Table 3: IACF MI&I plan sensitivity to gold price, costs and recovery (US$ where applicable) Sensitivity to Operating Costs, Capital Costs, and Recovery (After-Tax NPV US$M) * Recoveries above 85% are not expected and have not been calculated Overview: Richmond Hill hosts a large near-surface heap leachable resource which was announced on February 6 th , 2025. The S-K 1300 Initial Assessment Report outlined a resource of 3.65 million ounces of gold and 38.1 million ounces of silver in measured and indicated mineral resources. Additionally, the Report identified a heap leachable inferred mineral resource of 2.61 million ounces of gold and 22.8 million ounces of silver. The resource is informed by a historical database containing 56,734 gold assays from 902 drill holes totaling 90,447 meters of drilling, and an additional 30,743 gold assays from 146 drill holes totaling 45,540 meters of drilling by Dakota Gold since 2022 to expand the resource. The IACF study was led by M3 Engineering and Technology Corporation (M3) and RESPEC, independent engineering firms capable of delivering through Feasibility and into production as soon as 2029. Concurrently the Company is undertaking baseline environmental studies that will inform future permitting requirements. The Richmond Hill project is expected to follow a mining operation model similar to that of the adjacent Wharf Mine, operated by Coeur Mining, which generated approximately $95 million in free cash flow in 2024 from the production of around 98,000 ounces of gold. Richmond Hill is situated primarily on previously mined, privately held land, which we believe will enable an efficient advancement through permitting, development, and ultimately into production. The non-binding financial proposal for up to $300 million for a development opportunity with Orion Mine Finance, our major shareholder, which was announced on October 12, 2023, could provide Dakota Gold with the financial pathway to a commercial gold operation. The Report has been published on the Company's website and filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on EDGAR as an exhibit to its Current Report on Form 8-K dated Monday, July 7, 2025. The Report was prepared by an independent group of Qualified Persons with M3 as the Study Manager. Details of the IACF will be presented in a webcast conference call on Tuesday, July 8, 2025 at 11am Eastern / 9am Mountain / 8am Pacific.
