Oslo, Norway, 15 April 2026 - Akobo Minerals AB (publ) ("Akobo" or the
"Company") provides an operational update related to the current fuel supply
situation and its impact on the Segele mine.
Disruptions in global fuel supply, including reduced tanker traffic through the
Strait of Hormuz, have constrained fuel availability in Ethiopia, which relies
on imported diesel. Against this background, and as a precautionary measure, the
Company will temporarily scale back operations at Segele, while maintaining
readiness to resume operations as soon as reliable diesel deliveries are
restored. This measure is implemented in a structured and controlled manner.
Based on the latest information, the Company expects a diesel shipment to reach
site in early May. The situation is monitored continuously, and the Company is
prepared to rapidly remobilise operations once reliable diesel deliveries are
confirmed.
The situation does not affect the Company's mineral resources, underground
infrastructure or long-term development plans for the Segele mine.
The Company has sufficient liquidity to manage the temporary disruption in the
short term and continues to maintain a constructive dialogue with key
stakeholders.
Akobo will provide further updates as appropriate.
