Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO, and Director, stated: "In July, the U.S. dollar rebounded following 6 months of consecutive declines. This setup which is traditionally negative for the commodity complex, this time did not result in weakness in the sector. For the month, gold and oil advanced, with related equities also advancing. Copper was the outlier, declining sharply as affected by tariff announcements that created short term price dislocations. With the strong seasonal period for commodities between January and May behind us, at Olive we are now looking at opportunities more cautiously during the summer. The Fall period is typically seasonally weak for the sector, and we are currently investing with that horizon in mind."

Derek Macpherson, the Company's Executive Chairman, stated: "Olive's strong investment performance in 2025 continued in July, with the value of our assets increasing another 3%, putting the portfolio up 37% year-to-date. Our focus, on fewer higher conviction investments, like Omai Gold Mines, up over 240% year-to-date, continues to drive this strong performance."
