The increase in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 was due to legal costs for both commercial negotiations with OTLLC and Rio Tinto and the arbitration proceedings.

• For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, the Company's operating cash outflow before changes in non-cash working capital items was $0.6 million and $2.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.5 million and $1.8 million, respectively for the comparative periods in 2022.

The Company's shares will continue to trade in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "ETG" and in the United States on the Over-the-Counter OTCQB Venture Market ("OTCQB") under the symbol "ERLFF".

• The Company's primary objective for 2023 is to confirm the transfer of the Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences from the Company's Mongolian subsidiary to OTLLC as contemplated by the existing Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA. On July 17, 2023, the Company announced it has made good progress in its previously disclosed negotiations with OTLLC and Rio Tinto to restructure or amend the existing Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA to streamline the operating environment for both parties and confirm the transfer of the Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences to OTLLC. However, several key items still need to be resolved before any definitive agreement could be finalized and executed, including with respect to a potential acquisition by the Government of Mongolia of 34% of the Company's economic interest in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property.

• While the Company remains committed to achieving a commercial resolution with OTLLC and Rio Tinto, the previously announced binding arbitration proceedings commenced by the Company on May 26, 2022 to, in part, confirm the transfer of the Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences, also continued to progress during the third quarter 2023. The Company is seeking declarations and orders for specific performance relating to certain provisions of the Equity Participation and Earn-in Agreement (the "Earn-in Agreement") with Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. ("Turquoise Hill") dated October 15, 2004, as amended and subsequently assigned to OTLLC and the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA. Both Turquoise Hill and OTLLC are respondents to the arbitration proceedings. A three-member Tribunal has been appointed and a merits hearing is set for April 2024.

OUTLOOK AND STRATEGY

Entrée's primary objective is to confirm the transfer of the Shivee Tolgoi and Javhlant mining licences to OTLLC as contemplated by the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA, either in conjunction with finalization, execution, and closing of an agreement with OTLLC to restructure or amend the existing Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA to streamline the operating environment for both parties, or enforcement of certain provisions of the Earn-in Agreement and Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA pursuant to binding arbitration proceedings. The Company currently is registered in Mongolia as the 100% ultimate holder of the licences. The Company is also in discussions with Erdenes Oyu Tolgoi LLC (the State-owned company that holds the Government's 34% interest in OTLLC) regarding a potential acquisition by the Government of Mongolia of 34% of the Company's economic interest in the Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JV Property. The Minerals Law of Mongolia provides the State may share in up to 34% of the economic benefit derived from exploitation of a mineral deposit of strategic importance where proven reserves were determined through funding sources other than the State budget. The Hugo North Extension copper-gold deposit on the Shivee Tolgoi mining licence and the Heruga copper-gold-molybdenum deposit on the Javhlant mining licence are mineral deposits of strategic importance.

Any definitive agreement reached between the Company and OTLLC to restructure or amend the existing Entrée/Oyu Tolgoi JVA would be subject to TSX acceptance and the requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions applicable to a related party transaction. There are no assurances that a definitive agreement will be finalized and executed, or if finalized and executed, that the transaction would close.
