As part of the Meeting's agenda, the slate of proposed Directors will be
presented. Non-Executive Directors: Mr. Bruce McLeod (Chair), Mr. Doug Ford,
Mrs. Susanne Sesselmann and Mr. Neil Gregson are standing for re-election as
is Meridian's Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Gilbert
Clark. Non-Executive Director Mr. John Skinner and Executive Director Dr.
Adrian McArthur will not be standing for re-election. Mr. John Skinner will
transition to the Company's Advisory Board. Dr. McArthur will continue in his
Executive role as Meridian's President.

Two new Brazilian Non-Executive Director nominees, Mr. Carlos Vilhena and Mr.
Felipe Holzhacker Alves, are being proposed to join Meridian's Board of
Directors, on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nomination
Committee, and unanimous endorsement of the Board. This recommendation
followed a structured and rigorous selection process in accordance with the
Company's corporate governance practices.

Mr. Vilhena is a distinguished mining lawyer with over 35 years' experience
advising on complex legal and strategic matters across the mineral resources
sector in Brazil. Mr. Holzhacker Alves, based in São Paulo, Brazil, is the
founder and president of Frontera Minerals, a Brazilian focused mining and
fertilizer group. Originally a mining engineer, Mr. Holzhacker Alves then
transitioned to business and finance, structuring and executing equity and
debt deals for mining companies throughout Latin and North America over the
last 20 years.

Mr. Bruce McLeod, Meridian's Chair, comments: "I would like to express my
sincere thanks to John and Adrian for their significant contributions to the
Company and the Board. Since joining Meridian's Board, under their guidance
the Company has moved ahead with securing the leading Cabaçal project and
progressing it from exploration to near-term development. Our journey together
continues as John has accepted a seat on the Company's Advisory Board and
Adrian will continue to focus on his current Executive role as President of
Meridian.

The Board and the Company's management strongly support the candidature of
Carlos and Felipe to be elected as Non-Executive Directors. Both are Brazilian
citizens and have decades of experience within the Brazilian mining industry.

With the completion of the London listing, I see the year ahead to be as
transformational with Meridian gearing up for the construction phase of its
compelling Cabaçal copper-gold project."

The Company's Meeting will be held as an in-person meeting. Further
information, including how to vote or appoint a proxy in respect of the
Meeting, is set out in the Notice.

About Meridian

Meridian Mining is focused on:

•      The development and exploration of the advanced-stage Cabaçal VMS
gold‐copper project;

•      Expanding the initial resource inventory in the Santa Helena area
through extension of Santa Helena Central, and new discoveries;

•       Regional-scale exploration of the Cabaçal VMS Belt to expand
the Cabaçal Hub strategy; and

•     Exploration in the Jauru & Araputanga Greenstone Belts (the
above all located in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil).

The Pre-feasibility Study technical report (the "PFS Technical Report") dated
March 31, 2025, entitled: "Cabaçal Gold-Copper Project NI 43-101 Technical
Report and Pre-feasibility Study" outlines a base case after-tax NPV5 of USD
984 million and 61.2% IRR from a pre-production capital cost of USD 248
million, leading to capital repayment in 17 months (assuming metals price
scenario of USD 2,119 per ounce of gold, USD 4.16 per pound of copper, and USD
26.89 per ounce of silver). Cabaçal has a low All-in-Sustaining-Cost of USD
742 per ounce gold equivalent and an annual production profile of 141,000
ounces of gold equivalent life of mine, driven by high metallurgical recovery,
a low life-of-mine strip ratio of 2.3:1, and the low operating cost
environment of Brazil.

The Cabaçal Mineral Reserve estimate consists of Proven and Probable reserves
of 41.7 million tonnes at 0.63g/t gold, 0.44% copper and 1.64g/t silver (at a
0.25 g/t gold equivalent cut-off grade).

Readers are encouraged to read the PFS Technical Report in its entirety. The
PFS Technical Report may be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR+
at www.sedarplus.ca (http://www.sedarplus.ca/)  and on the Company's website
at www.meridianmining.co (http://www.meridianmining.co)

The PFS Technical Report was prepared for the Company by Tommaso Roberto
Raponi (P. Eng), Principal Metallurgist with Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC;
Scott Elfen (P. E.), Global Lead Geotechnical and Civil Services with Ausenco
Engineering Canada ULC; John Anthony McCartney, C.Geol., Ausenco Chile Ltda.;
Porfirio Cabaleiro Rodriguez (Engineer Geologist FAIG), of GE21 Consultoria
Mineral; Leonardo Soares (BSc Geo, MAIG), Senior Geological Consultant of GE21
Consultoria Mineral; Norman Lotter (Mineral Processing Engineer; P.Eng.), of
Flowsheets Metallurgical Consulting Inc.; and, Juliano Felix de Lima (Engineer
Geologist MAIG), of GE21 Consultoria Mineral.
