Samuel Pelaez, the Company's President, CEO, CIO, and Director stated: "During the second quarter commodities advanced more cautiously than in the first quarter. However, commodity related equities outperformed their commodity benchmarks highlighting increasing appeal for the sector from generalist investors. With the strong seasonal period 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 Q2 2025, with the value of our assets increasing in value by approximately 13.6% in the quarter, with value of the portfolio up approximately 33% in 2025 after overhead costs. The reconstruction of our portfolio in 2024, focusing our investments on fewer higher conviction investments, has driven this performance. In H1 2025 core investments in Omai Gold Mines, up 120%, Troilus Gold, up 145%, and Sailfish Royalty, up 82%, were key in driving these strong returns."
