Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO, and Director stated: "The commodity complex advanced broadly during May. Equities rose and outperformed their respective commodities. The U.S. dollar dropped for a fourth consecutive month. The seasonal period between January and May is typically strong for the commodity complex, with this year proving particularly profitable. Heading into the summer, we remain well deployed into both the larger and the junior resource space, and have continued to reallocate capital into fewer, higher conviction names."

Derek Macpherson, the Company's Executive Chairman stated: "Olive's strong investment performance in 2025 continued in May, with the value of our assets increasing in value by approximately 6.5% since March 31, 2025 and are up almost 25% since the start of the year. Our performance continues to be driven by our core investments; notably Omai Gold Mines which was up over 20% in May, and Sterling Metals which rose over 75% after reporting strong drill results."
