Q1 2026 Financial Highlights To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4183/298770_715526ead48d3b55_003full.jpg Gold production during the first quarter of 2026 was 8,734 ounces from the Pan mine. Gold revenues in Q1 2026 of $39.2 million were realized from the sale of 9,134 gold ounces from the Pan mine with an average realized gold price of $4,287 per ounce sold. The average realized gold price in Q1 2026 was impacted by settling 1,500 ounces of the Company's outstanding call options with Auramet at a price of $2,113 per ounce.

Total cash costs and AISC were $1,659 per ounce and $1,818 per ounce, respectively from the operations at the Pan mine in Q1 2026. Cash flow provided by operating activities after changes in working capital in the first quarter was $2.6 million, cash used in investing activities was $5.3 million, and net cash provided from financing activities during Q1 2026 was $4.3 million. The Company recorded earnings from mine operations in Q1 2026 of $19.5 million and net earnings of $10.9 million.

Cash and cash equivalents was $45.5 million as at March 31, 2026, as compared to $44.0 million as at December 31, 2025. The increase in the cash balance reflects the earnings from mining operations and the net value from the exercise of warrants and options of $4.3 million in the current quarter partly offset by a final payment of $10.0 million to Equinox Gold Corp. to complete the working capital payment for the Pan Acquisition.

Pan Mine Operating Summary To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4183/298770_panminetable1.jpg To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/4183/298770_panminetable2.jpg Mining Operations at the Pan mine during Q1 2026 averaged over 43 thousand tonnes per day, with total material moved of 4.0 million tonnes. Material mined included 1.2 million ore tonnes at a grade of 0.274 g/t and containing 10,432 ounces of gold, with 1.2 million tonnes placed on the heap leach pad. The Company transitioned to a new mining contractor at the start of the year.

The contractor was able to quickly recover mining rates to pre-transition levels, matching the Company's plan during the quarter. The new mine plan adopted in early Q1 2026 required additional pushbacks near the limits of mineralized zones, resulting in a modest decrease in mined grade as compared with the prior quarter. The combination of these factors is expected to slightly lower gold production in Q2 2026, with a recovery to normal levels for the remainder of the year.

Gold production for 2026 is tracking well to meet the Company's annual guidance of 32,000–38,000 ounces. Non-IFRS Measures This news release refers to certain financial measures, such as all-in-sustaining costs, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These measures may differ from those made by other companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such measures as reported by other companies.

These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements because the Company believes that they are of assistance in understanding the results of operations and its financial position. Certain additional disclosures for these specified financial measures have been incorporated by reference and can be found in the Company's MD&A for Q4 2025, available on SEDAR+. Total cash costs.

The Company uses total cash costs per gold ounce sold to monitor its operating performance internally. The most directly comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is cost of sales. The Company believes this measure provides investors and analysts with useful information about its underlying total cash costs of operations.

The Company also believes it is a relevant metric used to understand its operating profitability and ability to generate cash flow. Total cash costs are measures developed by metals companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard; however, there can be no assurance that the Company's reporting of these non-GAAP financial measures are similar to those reported by other mining companies. They are widely reported in the metals mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and are disclosed in addition to IFRS measures.

Total cash costs include production costs, refinery and transportation costs, royalties and production taxes. Total cash costs exclude non-cash depreciation and depletion and site share-based compensation. Production costs include mining, crushing, processing, and direct overhead at the operation sites.

AISC. AISC more fully defines the total costs associated with producing precious metals. The AISC is calculated based on guidelines published by the World Gold Council (WGC), which were first issued in 2013.

In light of new accounting standards and to support further consistency of application, the WGC published an updated Guidance Note in 2018. Other companies may calculate this measure differently because of differences in underlying principles and policies applied. Differences may also arise due to a different definition of sustaining versus growth capital.

Note that in respect of AISC metrics within the technical reports, because such economics are disclosed at the project level, corporate general and administrative expenses were not included in the AISC calculations. AISC per ounce includes mining, processing, direct overhead, reclamation and sustaining capital. EBITDA.

EBITDA is defined as earnings from continuing operations before net financial expenses (income), income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization. As such, this financial measure allows comparability of operating results from one period to another by excluding the effects of items that are usually associated with investing and financing activities. Qualified Person The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Darren Koningen, P.Eng., the Company's President & COO, who is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
