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 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). On December 13, 2023, Loncor announced the sale of
the Makapela Project, which sale is expected to be completed during
the third quarter of 2024.

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) 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 April 1, 2024 filed on
SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca 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.
