VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2026 / Gold Port Corporation (CSE:GPO)(OTCQB:GPOTF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Alex Mezei Q.P. as Metallurgical Consultant to the Company. Mr. Mezei will initiate a two phased metallurgical evaluation of the Groete Gold Copper Project. Phase One is comprised of an Initial Review and Metallurgical Gap Analysis of all metallurgical data. The Phase Two Program will compliment the planned drill program by evaluating pre-treatment protocols. Samples will be used for comprehensive metallurgical investigation at recognized laboratories. Testing will include baseline, optimization, and variability studies. The results will support process flowsheet development, derisking, and economic evaluation in accordance with the Best Practice Guidelines for Mineral Processing (BPGMP), contributing to the process component of the planned update to the NI 43‑101 Technical Report. The recovery of both gold and copper will initially focus on well‑proven, low‑cost, low‑risk metallurgical options such as flotation and direct cyanidation. Depending on metallurgical response, the Company may also investigate other industry‑accepted routes, including bio-oxidation, pressure oxidation or roasting, diagnostic leach testing and other metallurgical optimization options if deemed necessary. Alex Mezei is an independent metallurgical consultant and NI 43-101 Qualified Person with hands-on technical experience spanning hydrometallurgy, mineral processing, rheology, and liquid-solid separation across base, precious, and rare metals, industrial minerals, and oil sands. His career encompasses commercial testwork, plant design, construction, commissioning, ramp-up, and operations at pilot and industrial scale on projects worldwide. Alex specializes in metallurgical process development, testwork program design and supervision, gap and fatal flaw analysis, and technical risk mitigation. He supports owners, investors, financiers, and engineering firms through stage-gated project development, identifying vulnerable areas of commercial plant operability, flagging unacceptable technical risk factors, and recommending practical de-risking strategies. His work covers the full project development spectrum - from conceptual assessment through bankable feasibility - including process economics evaluation (Capex, Opex, ROI...
