SECOND QUARTER 2026 HIGHLIGHTS
First gold and initial revenue. The Company achieved its first gold pour on May 4, 2026.

Metallurgical recovery was approximately 72.2%. The Company produced approximately 500 ounces of gold, including approximately 162 ounces recovered from legacy gold-in-circuit, commenced gold sales, sold 291 ounces and recognized revenue of US$1.2 million during the quarter.
Phased ramp-up execution. Phase 1 of the restart strategy was completed, centered on restarting the processing plant and commencing production using stockpiled material. The semi-autogenous grinding ("SAG") mill was operational, commissioning of the ball mill continued and dewatering of the TAP AB open pit was completed. The Company also obtained the renewal of its operating license.
Updated technical foundation. An NI 43-101-compliant technical report for the Amapá Project with an effective date of January 31, 2026 was published on June 19, 2026 outlining Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of approximately 61.23 million tonnes at an average grade of 0.988 g/t gold, containing approximately 1.94 million ounces of gold (inclusive of Mineral Reserves) and Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves of approximately 31.69 million tonnes at 1.111 g/t gold, containing approximately 1.13 million ounces of gold, supporting a 10-year open-pit life-of-mine plan.
Financial position. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of US$2.8 million, positive net working capital of US$13.7 million and total equity of US$135.5 million, reflecting a largely equity-funded balance sheet. Financial and debt-like obligations totalled US$66.0 million and were largely long-term and denominated mainly in Brazilian reais.
"Achieving first gold was an important milestone for Amapá Minerals and marked the transition of the project into operational ramp-up. I would like to thank our employees and contractors for their commitment and execution, and our shareholders and stakeholders for their continued support. With a strengthened balance sheet following our IPO, our focus is now firmly on disciplined execution and delivering the ramp-up plan safely and efficiently." Ivan Truzzi, Chief Executive Officer
