The filing of the Project Notice represents another significant milestone in advancing the Perron Gold Project toward commercial production. It formally initiates Québec's environmental assessment process for the proposed mine and reflects the Company's continued execution of its development strategy. The Project Notice provides government authorities with a comprehensive overview of the proposed mining operation, including the underground mine, surface infrastructure, environmental setting and overall project design. 

"The submission of the Project Notice is another important step as we move toward developing one of Canada's premier high-grade gold projects," said Victor Cantore, President and Chief Executive Officer of Amex Gold Mining. "Responsible mine development begins long before construction. Our team has invested considerable effort in environmental studies, engineering and community engagement, and we look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with Indigenous communities, local stakeholders and government authorities as we advance Perron through the next stages of development."

Following its review of the Project Notice, the MELCCFP will issue a directive outlining the information to be included in the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). The Company has already initiated preparation of the EIA through ongoing environmental baseline studies, engineering, technical evaluations and stakeholder engagement activities. 

The proposed mine is based on the positive Feasibility Study released earlier this year and contemplates a high-grade underground mining operation with mineral processing at an existing regional mill. This development strategy is designed to leverage Perron's exceptional grade while reducing initial capital requirements and accelerating the path toward commercial production. 

Key highlights of the Feasibility Study include:

• Phase 1 Proven and Probable reserves of 1,989 Mt at 12.1 g/t
• Low initial capital cost estimate of $193.9M. During the pre-production period $68.1M of revenue is generated which could offset some capital required
• Average annual gold production of 147,000 oz gold (Au) at an All in Sustaining Cost (AISC) of US$910/oz Au
• Pre-tax NPV of $1,976M and After-tax NPV of $1,127M
• Pre-tax IRR of 160.4% and After-tax IRR of 114.6%
• Cumulative Pre-tax Undiscounted Net Free Cash Flow of $2,492M and Cumulative After-tax Undiscounted Net Free Cash Flow of $1,436M
• Pre-tax payback period of 0.4 years and After-tax payback period of 0.5 years

Note: The Perron FS incorporates the latest Mineral Resource Estimate (2025 MRE - released May 21, 2025). The previous assumes a gold price of US$3,500/oz and a CA$/US$ exchange rate of 1.38:1.

In parallel with the environmental assessment process, Amex continues to advance construction of its fully permitted 40,000-tonne bulk sample program. The bulk sample will generate valuable geological, geotechnical, metallurgical and operational information while further supporting future mine development and optimization.

The Company expects the Project Notice to be made publicly available by the MELCCFP following completion of its administrative review process. Once published by the Ministry, Amex will also make the document available on its website under the Perron Project section, providing shareholders, local communities and other stakeholders with convenient access to the filing.

About Amex

Amex Gold Mining Inc. has made significant high-grade gold discoveries, along with copper-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) zones, at its 100%-owned Perron Gold Project. It is located in the territory of Valcanton in northern Quebec, approximately 110 kilometres north of Rouyn-Noranda.

The Perron Project in Quebec consists of 183 contiguous claims for a surface area of 65.72 km². The project hosts several zones of high-grade gold mineralization, VMS mineralization and 'hybrid' gold-rich VMS mineralization. When combined with the adjacent and contiguous Perron West Project and Abbotsford and Hepburn Projects (including additional claims acquired through staking) in Ontario, the consolidated land package spans a district-scale 570.94 km². This extensive property lies within highly prospective geology favourable for both high-grade gold and VMS mineralization.

The Project benefits from excellent infrastructure: it is accessible by a year-round road, located just 30 minutes from an airport, and approximately 6.5 km from the Town of Normétal. Being in close proximity to several processing plants owned by major gold producers also constitutes a strategic advantage.

Gold mineralization was intersected in all drillholes reported here (ST2601 – ST2605). Highlights so far include 9.2 m at 1.3 g/t Au (including 0.4 m at 5.6 g/t Au) and 1.1 m at 15.6 g/t Au (including 0.6 m at 27.8 g/t Au). In addition, a poly-metallic sample in hole ST2601 returned 0.5 m @ 8.9 g/t Au, 47.5 g/t Ag and 0.74% Cu.

Michael Hudson, CEO, states: “These first results delivered exactly what we hoped for at Stavaträsk - gold in our first five drillholes, from very shallow levels (from 12 m down hole), over a strike length of 650 m. Importantly, the occurrence of high-grade gold up to 27.8 g/t Au is a fabulous start for this discovery. This drilling suggests we have discovered a large, gold-bearing corridor of mineralization consisting of a quartz-vein-swarm hosted within a persistent granodiorite host-unit. This gold-bearing corridor is interpreted to be 50 m to 65 m wide, with several higher-grade structurally controlled zones of quartz-veining observed, returning several gold-rich intervals, such as; 9.2 m at 1.3 g/t Au (including 0.4 m at 5.6 g/t Au) and 1.1 m at 15.6 g/t Au (including 0.6 m at 27.8 g/t Au). In addition, a poly-metallic sample in hole ST2601 returned 0.5 m @ 8.9 g/t Au, 47.5 g/t Ag and 0.74% Cu, demonstrating potential silver and copper upside to this strongly-mineralized system. The consistent association of gold with arsenic, silver and tellurium gives our geologists a simple, reliable way to vector toward the best of the system as we plan the next stage. Assays from the final two holes are imminent, with an IP gradient array geophysical program commencing over the coming weeks and a second drill program to follow."

Technical Discussion

The Stavaträsk mineralized corridor is interpreted to lie along a structural trend within the regional-scale Vidsel-Röjnoret Shear System which the Company’s mapping and interpretation trace as a prospective corridor of up to approximately 7 km of strike cutting across several lithologies: a granodiorite-hosted vein swarm delivering broad, consistent lower-grade gold (holes ST2601–ST2603), with higher-grade veins on or close to the granodiorite contact, passing into silica–arsenopyrite shear zones in mudstone that carry higher grades (holes ST2604–ST2605). 

Initial drilling at the Stavaträsk project consisted of 7 holes measuring between 75 and 260 metres in length. The best drill intercepts in each hole are as follows: 

• ST2601: 4.5 m @ 1.4 g/t Au, 8.2 g/t Ag from 80.0 m, including:
• 0.5 m @ 8.9 g/t Au, 47.5 g/t Ag
• ST2602: 5.6 m @ 1.4 g/t Au, 1.3 g/t Ag from 79.4 m, including:
• 0.4 m @ 9.9 g/t Au, 4.4 g/t Ag
• ST2603: 1.3 m @ 2.6 g/t Au, 1.9 g/t Ag from 12.0 m
• ST2604: 9.2 m @ 1.3 g/t Au, 0.7 g/t Ag from 29.9 m, including:
• 0.4 m @ 5.6 g/t Au, 2.1 g/t Ag
• ST2605: 1.1 m @ 15.6 g/t Au, 2.9 g/t Ag from 35.5 m, including:
• 0.6 m @ 27.8 g/t Au, 5.0 g/t Ag

Drillholes ST2601–ST2607 were planned to investigate the sub-surface geology of the surface float and outcrop areas as documented in the previous news release (dated June 10, 2026). Five drillholes (ST2601-ST2603, ST2606 and ST2607) were drilled underneath the southern high-grade surface float samples, while ST2604 and ST2605 were drilled underneath high-grade gold outcrops 650 metres to the north.  In the southern drill area, a swarm of extensional-style gold-bearing quartz-arsenopyrite veins and associated gangue are hosted by a silica-chlorite-sericite-altered granodiorite.  Higher-grade, gold-rich zones were intercepted on or close to the granodiorite contact (ie., ST2601; 0.5 m @ 8.9 g/t Au), while a broader mineralization style was encountered within the bulk of the granodiorite body (ie., ST2602; 5.6 m @ 1.4 g/t Au). The granodiorite body trends in an approximate 330° strike, and dips approximately 70° to the east. In the northern drill area, drillholes ST2604 and ST2605 intercepted a more discrete quartz-arsenopyrite-bearing interval hosted in a mudstone lithology in which higher-gold grades are encountered (ie., ST2605; 1.1 m @ 15.6 g/t Au including 0.6 m @ 27.8 g/t Au). While this more narrow-style of mineralization is hosted within a different host-rock lithology, the consistency of the quartz-arsenopyrite vein-morphology and their structural geological orientation (ie., both aligned along the dominant ~330° structural corridor) demonstrate both a genetic and probable spatial connectivity of the two areas, separated by ~650m of strike length (refer to Figure 3). 

The two deepest holes of the program, ST2606 and ST2607 (Figures 3 and 4) were drilled into the granodiorite zone in order to test down-dip continuation of the granodiorite-hosted vein-swarm; drillhole ST2606 intercepted strong and continuous arsenopyrite-silica-alteration along the entirety of the granodiorite interval (ca. 214 metres drilled thickness). Assay results of these two holes are pending.

Across the five holes assayed (320 samples, ~242 m of assayed core), 101 samples (32%) run at or above 0.1 g/t Au, totalling ~67.5 m of the sampled length. The length-weighted grade of that anomalous population is ~0.96 g/t. The median anomalous sample is 0.3 g/t with 49 of the 101 samples in the 0.1 to 0.3 g/t band. 

In addition, an individual 0.5 m sample from ST2601 (80.5 m to 80.9 m) returned 0.5 m @ 8.9 g/t Au, 47.5 g/t Ag and 0.74% Cu (photo 1), highlighting the poly-metallic (gold–silver–copper) character of the mineralization and consistent with the surface and boulder-field sampling.

Photo 1: Core sample from ST2601 at 80.48 m showing arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite in a quartz shear vein, returning 8.9 g/t Au, 47.5 g/t Ag and 0.74% Cu. 

Preliminary analysis of results suggest that elevated gold-concentrations display systematic correlation with several other metal elements, particularly arsenic (ie., arsenopyrite), followed by silver, tellurium and bismuth. This arsenic geochemical-affinity with gold largely agrees with visual observations of the drillcore (and earlier surface observations) in that, gold-rich intervals are closely-tied to arsenopyrite formation (±pyrite and chalcopyrite) demonstrating a likely genetic relationship between the two. As such, this mineralogical relationship should prove very useful for further steps in exploration works (i.e. geophysical surveys and surface geochemical sampling). 

This drilling at Stavaträsk suggests mineralization is hosted in a continuous, structurally-controlled, gold-bearing  corridor, hosted within both the igneous and sedimentary rocks found in the region. This relationship is typical of known multi-million ounce, structurally controlled orogenic gold deposits from the Nordics, including Agnico Eagles Kittila mine, Goldsky Resources Barsele project, and Dragon Minings Fäboliden deposit.

Stavaträsk Project

Stavaträsk is located in the Skellefteå Mining District of northern Sweden, 20 km north of the Boliden deposit (4.2 Moz @ 15.5 g/t Au historic production – source quoted in Figure 2). The project occupies a strategic position on the Vidsel-Röjnoret Shear System (VRSS), the same regional-scale terrane boundary that hosts Boliden.

Gold, silver and copper mineralization is structurally hosted, with massive to semi-massive arsenopyrite, pyrite and chalcopyrite with silica alteration. Outcrop samples return grades of 93 g/t Au and 24 g/t Ag. A boulder field located 650 m southeast of the main outcrop yielded 8 samples averaging 3.2 g/t Au (range 0.1 g/t to 11.2 g/t Au), 67 g/t Ag (range 1 g/t to 154 g/t Ag) and 0.83% Cu (range 0.003% to 2.43% Cu) and is surrounded by historic drill collars for which assay data is largely unavailable.

Technical Background

The team behind Hannan has decades of combined exploration experience across the Nordic region, bringing deep local knowledge, relationships and operating capability to the portfolio. 

Historical data have not been verified by Hannan and are quoted for informational purposes only. It is believed that the primary analysis for gold was completed by fire assay with atomic absorption finish.  Compilation of available data and 3D geologic modelling are in progress. 

The true thickness of the mineralized intervals reported here is not known at this stage.

Drill hole intervals have been calculated using 0.5 g/t Au cut-off with a maximum 2 m internal dilution; higher-grade sub-intervals reported at a 3.0 g/t Au cut-off with 2 m internal dilution.

Sweden: A Tier-One European Mining Jurisdiction

Sweden is positioning itself as the cornerstone of Europe's domestic mineral supply under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. The efficiency of its permitting regime is demonstrated firsthand at Stavaträsk, where a drill permit was secured in four weeks. The country ranks among the world's top 10 most attractive mining jurisdictions in the Fraser Institute's most recent survey, offering stable policy, established infrastructure, low-cost hydropower and a skilled workforce. The district also supports near year-round drilling: an established forestry road network enables access through the summer, while winter snow cover allows rigs to move broadly across the terrain, with only a short shoulder season around April-June.

Maintaining Momentum in Peru 

The large Previsto gold-copper prospect (Amanecer project) in Peru remains the Company’s flagship asset and primary focus, and the Swedish projects complement – rather than replace – that priority. 

With the Previsto permitting timeline extending maiden drilling into 2027, and with the Company well-funded, Hannan has secured a low-cost, share-based entry into three high-grade gold projects – structured to add exploration optionality with minimal upfront cash – allowing the Company to keep the drill bit turning and deliver near-term results for shareholders during the interim window. 

Sampling, Analytical Methods and Quality Control

Whole drill core was logged and photographed by Company personnel and securely transported to MSALABS (MSA Analytical Services), an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory, at its facility in Sollentuna, Sweden, where the core was cut, sampled and prepared for analysis. The sample pulps were shipped to MSA Labs facility in Canada for analysis. Gold was determined on a 30 g charge by lead-collection fire assay fusion with an atomic absorption finish (method FAS-114), with high-grade samples re-assayed on a 30 g charge by fire assay with a gravimetric finish (method FAS-415). Multi-element analysis, including silver and copper, was carried out on a 0.25 g aliquot by four-acid digestion with ultra-trace ICP-ES/MS determination of 48 elements (method IMS-230); over-limit arsenic was determined by an ore-grade four-acid digestion with an ICP-ES finish (method ICF-6As). As part of its quality assurance and quality control program, the Company inserted certified reference materials into the sample sequence at a rate of approximately one in fifteen, and field duplicates inserted at approximately one in fifty, and the laboratory operated its own internal program of blanks, standards and duplicates. The Qualified Person has reviewed the quality-control results and is satisfied that the assay data are reliable for the purposes of this disclosure.

“Parral continues to provide excellent results, propelling the Company to record operating cash flows of $26.3 million.  As we complete our twelfth year at Parral, it continues to operate strongly and is producing record cash flows for us,” said Brad Langille, President and CEO.  “At quarter end, we held $284 million USD in cash, which exceeds the initial capital expenditure of $227 million per the feasibility study for our recently permitted Los Ricos South.  With our permit in hand at Los Ricos South and a positive construction decision from the board, we are well positioned to create long-term benefits for all stakeholders.”

Highlights for the quarter ending June 30, 2026:

• Record operating cash flow of $26.3 million USD
• Cash of $284 million USD
• Revenue of $27.8 million on the sale of 419,986 SEO at an average realized price per ounce of $66.09
• Net income of $10.9 million
• Production of 477,464 SEO, consisting of 268,673 silver ounces, 3,036 gold ounces, 88 tonnes of copper, and 116 tonnes of zinc

Following are tables showing summarized financial information and key performance indicators:

¹Includes a positive adjustment of $15,530 from working capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 ($1,792 in June 30, 2025).

¹Key performance indicators are unaudited non-GAAP measures, see reconciliation in MD&A.

² SEO include gold ounces, copper tonnes, and zinc tonnes sold converted to a silver equivalent based on a ratio of the average market metal price for each period.  The ratio of gold:silver for each of the periods presented was:  Q3-25 – 98, Q3-26 – 62.  The ratio for copper was: Q3-25 – 311, Q3-26 - 181.  The ratio for zinc was: Q3-25 – 79, Q3-26 – 48.

Silver equivalent ounces sold have been impacted by the strengthening of silver prices relative to gold for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to June 30, 2025, with the equivalency ratio of gold:silver decreasing from 98 to 62.  For comparison purposes, using the June 30, 2025 equivalency ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 would result in 531,825 SEO sold, which also results in an increase of $8.58 per SEO to AISC.  AISC was also significantly impacted in the quarter by a non-cash fair value adjustment of $2.5 million on stock based awards due to the increase in the Company’s share price, this resulted in an increase in AISC of $5.85 per SEO.  Adjusting for these items would provide a comparative AISC of $26.35 per SEO.

This news release should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, notes to the financial statements, and management's discussion and analysis for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, which have been filed on SEDAR+ and are available on the Company’s website.

They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. 

Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income include “Operating income (loss)”. These measures are intended to provide an indication of the Company’s mine and operating performance. Per ounce measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. “Cash costs per ounce” and “All-in sustaining costs per ounce” are used in this analysis and are non-GAAP terms typically used by mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “Cash costs per ounce” reflects the cash operating costs allocated from in-process and dore inventory associated with ounces of silver and gold sold in the period. “Cash costs per ounce” may vary from one period to another due to operating efficiencies, grade of material processed and silver/gold recovery rates in the period. “All-in sustaining costs per ounce” include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. For a reconciliation of non-GAAP and GAAP measures, please refer to the Management Discussion and Analysis dated August 11, 2026 for the period ended June 30, 2026, as presented on SEDAR+.

Jason Dunning, Head of U.S. Special Projects for Blue Moon, stated, "This acquisition marks a meaningful step in Blue Moon’s strategy to build a leading US-focused critical metals platform. The portfolio represents a compelling collection of tungsten and antimony projects in the United States at a time when domestic sources are increasingly important. Many of these Projects historically produced high-grade antimony and tungsten, including reported tungsten grades of up to 14% WO₃, during periods of major strategic demand, including WWI, WWII, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. Since that time, the Projects have seen very limited modern work, creating what we believe is a significant opportunity for Blue Moon to apply a disciplined, modern approach across a historically important package of assets. While tungsten was the focus of the historical work, it should be noted that tungsten mineralization may also provide important indications for copper and gold exploration potential. We intend to methodically advance several of these Projects, with a focus on leveraging the Company’s Springer complex in Nevada for potential processing, while seeking to unlock value from the broader portfolio through future monetization opportunities."

TRANSACTION

Consideration for the Projects consists of the following:

• 2.8 million common shares of the Company, subject to a 4-month holding period, at a price of US$5.55/sh or a total of approximately US$15.5 million
• A 1.0% NSR royalty on each Project
• US$5.0 million in cash, of which US$2.5 million is to be paid on the closing date and US$2.5 million is to be paid on the first anniversary of the closing date
• A capped inferred resource development milestone payment on tungsten projects advanced by Blue Moon (“Development Payments”)
  1. The Development Payments will be based on the grade of the first delineated inferred resource within 15 years of the Closing Date:
     • Under 0.15% WO₃: US$1.50/MTU WO₃
     • 0.1501% to 0.30% WO₃: US$2.50/MTU WO₃
     • 0.3001% to 0.45% WO₃: US$3.50/MTU WO₃
     • Over 0.45% WO₃: US$4.50/MTU WO₃
  2. The Development Payments will be paid either in cash or split 50% cash and 50% in Blue Moon common shares, at Blue Moon’s election; and
  3. Each Development Payment will be capped at a maximum aggregate payment of US$8.5 million per Project.
• A monetization incentive based on consideration received by Blue Moon from the disposal of any Project:
  1. A payment of 10% of the consideration received by Blue Moon, payable in cash or shares at Blue Moon’s discretion; and
  2. An inferred resource development milestone payment on tungsten projects advanced by the then owner of each Project within 15 years of the Closing Date, totaling US$1.50/MTU WO₃.

KEY PROJECTS IN PORTFOLIO

Blue Moon considers four of the Projects to be high priority for direct shipping high-grade tungsten ores to its Springer Complex (the “Key Projects”):

Oregon Mine, Colorado

The Boulder County Tungsten District forms a south-west to north-east belt about 9.7 km long (about 6.0 miles) and 1.6 to 4.8 km wide (about 1.0 to 3.0 miles) on the east flank of the Front Range, in Precambrian-aged metamorphic and intrusive terrain near the Colorado mineral belt. The dominant rocks are Precambrian Boulder Creek granite and younger Silver Plume granite that are cut by early Tertiary biotite latite dikes and intrusions, locally overlain by Quaternary deposits. The tungsten-bearing veins are Tertiary in age, interpreted by Lovering (USGS Professional Paper 245, 1953) as related to the biotite latite intrusion. 

Mineralization is ferberite (with secondary scheelite) in chalcedonic quartz fissure veins (the Oregon, Quaker City and Hildegarde veins) in the Boulder Creek granite. Historically, there is documented production in the USGS Professional Paper 245 of approximately 5,000 short tons with an average grade of about 14.51% WO₃ between 1907 and 1929, noting that it is from hand-sorted vein ore that a qualified person has not verified and that must not be relied upon for the mineralization associated with this important target. The veins are narrow and typically high-grade in the district. No modern exploration, no drilling under a documented program, no QA/QC-controlled sampling, and no metallurgical test work has been carried out.

Wildhorse Canyon, Idaho

Tungsten was discovered at Wildhorse Canyon in August 1953 and mined by Cordero Mining Co. between 1954 and 1958. Recorded historical production between 1954 and 1957 was approximately 12,000 tons of ore mined from Steep Climb, Hard to Find and Beaver, yielding 7,461 short ton units (149,220 lb) of WO₃ (Mitchell, 1999) or a grade of 0.62% WO₃. Historical exploration drilling totaled eleven holes (4,724 feet) on Steep Climb (1982) and two holes (205 feet) on Hard to Find (1985); collars and assays are not in the public record and are unverified.

The deposits are reduced / calcic scheelite skarns (tactite) developed where leucogranodiorite to "alaskite" dikes intruded and metasomatically replaced impure, micaceous marble bands enclosed in biotite gneiss, migmatite and quartzite. Mineralization is structurally controlled along the crest of a north-northwest trending (N15 to N20 W) asymmetric anticline and is restricted to tactite in impure marble adjacent to the dikes; pure marble is barren. Ore minerals are scheelite with molybdenite in epidote and chlorite-garnet tactite; trace beryllium is reported. Bodies are tabular lenses and pods, generally 5 feet or less thick, over a mineralized horizon traced and projected for about 5.7 km (about 3.5 miles).

Williams, Arizona

The Williams Project is hosted in a light-colored, coarse-grained granite, locally banded or gneissoid, and it is cut by irregular aplite and pegmatite dykes. Tungsten mineralization occurs as huebnerite (MnWO₄), the manganese-rich end of the wolframite series, as bladed crystals (to about 7.5 cm) enclosed in quartz and along mica seams within gently north-dipping quartz veins associated with an aplite dyke. Two vein sets are documented in the district: a gently north-dipping set (about 18 to 30 degrees north) striking approximately east-west (N70 to N80 W underground), which hosts the productive Williams vein; and a steeply north-dipping set of broadly parallel strike, which appears less productive. The principal vein was explored over approximately 195 metres (about 640 feet) of strike and about 97.5 metres (about 320 feet) down-dip.

Documented exploration and development on the Project was carried out by historical operators between 1902 and 1955 and consisted of hand and conventional underground development: three upper adit levels (the 200-, 260- and 280-feet levels), a lower haulage adit (the “0” level), an inclined winze and connecting raises, totaling about 1,200 m (about 4,000 feet) of underground workings on as many as seven levels, together with numerous surface cuts and pits. A total of approximately 88,000 t of ore was historically mined over the mine life at a grade of 0.75% WO₃.  No systematic modern exploration (geochemistry, geophysics, modern drilling) has been documented since the 1961 United States Bureau of Mines (USBM) circular.

Hub Mines, Nevada

The Hub Mines deposit is a tungsten-bearing quartz-vein system hosted in a Jurassic quartz monzonite intrusion within the Basin and Range Province. Mineralization occurs in at least six narrow quartz veins arranged in a north-east-trending, en-echelon array, dipping approximately 55 to 75 degrees to the west; the principal vein, the Hub Vein, has a documented strike length of more than 400 metres (about 1,300 feet). Vein widths range from a few centimeters to about 1.5 metres (a few inches to 5 feet). The dominant ore mineral is huebnerite (MnWO₄), with subordinate wolframite and scheelite, and minor to trace lead, silver, gold, copper, fluorite, and locally antimony. The recorded average mill-feed grade for historical production was approximately 1.4% WO₃, and one shipment of hand-sorted ore is recorded at about 20% WO₃ that a QP qualified person has not verified and that must not be relied upon for the mineralization associated with this important target. The 1983 USBM survey records that no workings have explored the depth of the mineralized veins, so the veins are interpreted to remain open at depth.

Exploration and development of the Hub Mines are entirely historical including the original surface shipments from 1899, subsequent underground development including a main adit of about 549 metres (1,800 feet) with an inclined raise of about 152 metres (500 feet) to surface, near-surface stoping along about 300 metres (1,000 feet) of strike, a 50-ton gravity concentration mill operated between 1911 and 1916, placer work in 1941, and dump reworking between 1950 and 1955. The most recent technical work on the Project has been reconnaissance sampling and mapping by the USBM in 1981 and 1983 (MLA 56-83). No modern exploration, no drilling under a documented program, no QA/QC-controlled sampling, and no metallurgical test work have been carried out.

OTHER

Blue Moon anticipates hiring a team to manage the Projects and advance the Key Projects to the drilling stage over the next two years. The Company sees the potential to commence direct shipping ore from one or more of the Key Projects within three years.

This Transaction also marks Blue Moon's foray into antimony. There are at least five Projects that historically were high grade, former direct ship ore sites within the portfolio (2-10% Sb in high grade veins). The concept is either to sell the ore to a third party or, in due course, or build a small-scale antimony smelter at the Springer site. There are two such facilities in the US; one in Alaska and one in Montana, also at a small scale.

A binding LOI was signed by the parties on August 10, 2026. The Transaction is subject to TSX Venture approval and is expected to close in October 2026. No finder’s fees are being paid on this Transaction.

Barrick/IAMGOLD drill highlights include:

Note: All drill intervals are reported as downhole intervals. Mineralized structures/hosts are generally steep dipping between 70 to 85 degrees. Refer to Appendix 1 for full details of Barrick/IAMGOLD reverse circulation and diamond drill holes and assay results.

Bambadji Project Location

The Bambadji Project is contiguous with the eastern margin of Fortuna’s Diamba Sud Gold Project (refer to Figure 1), which hosts Mineral Reserves containing 1.15 million ounces of gold with a final investment decision anticipated shortly. Bambadji comprises two properties covering approximately 190 km² and extending over approximately 60 kilometers of prospective strike, with established secondary roads providing direct access from Diamba Sud.

Figure 1: Property Location Map

Geology and Mineralization

The acquisition includes an extensive, high-quality exploration dataset comprising geochemical, geophysical, and lithological information, together with approximately 214,000 meters of historical auger, reverse circulation, and diamond drilling.

Historic drilling and fieldwork have identified several styles of gold mineralization across Bambadji, including analogues to the Diamba Sud breccia-style mineralization, Yalea sericite-albitite style, and the high-tourmaline Gara style. Across the project, at least eight significant drill-defined prospects have been identified, together with several highly prospective mineralized trends that remain open along strike and at depth. Historical drilling has generally been shallow and widely spaced, with several multi-kilometer gaps along these anomalous gold trends, providing clear targets for Fortuna’s initial exploration program.

2026 Exploration Program

Fortuna has approved an initial US$8 million exploration budget for Bambadji for the remainder of 2026, comprising 51,000 meters of reverse circulation and diamond drilling. Drilling is expected to commence in the third quarter.

The program is designed to improve confidence and definition across several advanced drill-defined targets located within a 20-kilometer radius of the proposed Diamba Sud plant site (refer to Figure 1). Eight priority targets have been identified for initial drilling, while generative exploration will continue in parallel to advance additional targets along the project’s highly prospective mineralized trends.

Transaction Terms

Pursuant to the terms of the definitive transaction agreements dated August 10, 2026 entered into between Fortuna and certain subsidiaries of Barrick and IAMGOLD (collectively, the “Sellers”), in consideration of the acquisition of the Bambadji Project, Fortuna paid US$200 million in cash from its treasury (US$130.35 million to a subsidiary of Barrick, and US$69.65 million to a subsidiary of IAMGOLD). 

In addition, Fortuna has granted to the Sellers, a 0.5 percent net smelter return royalty on the first 1.75 million ounces of gold produced from the Bambadji Nord property (0.325 percent to a subsidiary of Barrick, and 0.175 percent to a subsidiary of IAMGOLD. 

TD Securities acted as sole financial advisor to Fortuna with respect of the acquisition.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control (QA - QC) 

The drill database extends back to 1993 with IAMGOLD, Anmercosa Exploration (a subsidiary of Anglo American Ltd), Ashanti Goldfields and Barrick (formerly Randgold) variously managing exploration across that period.  The majority of drilling has been conducted since 2007 by Barrick (Randgold).

Industry standard practices were used throughout, reflecting the protocols of the day, however, not all can be verified. 

Reverse circulation (RC) drilling used a 5.25-inch face sampling pneumatic hammer with samples collected into 60-liter plastic bags. Samples were kept dry by maintaining enough air pressure to exclude groundwater inflow. Once collected, RC samples were riffle split through a three-tier splitter to yield a 12.5 percent representative sample for submission to the analytical laboratory. The residual 87.5 percent samples were stored at the drill site until assay results were received and validated. Coarse reject samples for all mineralized samples corresponding to significant intervals were retained and stored on-site at the company-controlled core yard, however not all samples have been retained due to age degradation.

Diamond drilling (DD) drill holes generally started with HQ sized diameter, before reducing to NQ diameter diamond drill bits on intersecting fresh rock. The core was logged, marked up for sampling using standard lengths of one meter or to a geological boundary. Samples were then cut into equal halves using a diamond saw. One-half of the core was left in the original core box and stored in a secure location at the company core yard at the project site. The other half was sampled, catalogued, and placed into sealed bags and securely stored at the site until shipment.

Since 2016, RC and DD samples were transported by company vehicle or commercial courier to SGS Laboratories in Mali (Bamako) or ALS Kedougou/Ouagadougou. Routine gold analysis using a 50-gram charge and fire assay with an atomic absorption finish was completed for all samples. Quality control procedures are noted as including the systematic insertion of blanks, duplicates and sample standards into the sample stream. In addition, the SGS laboratories insert their own quality control samples.

Appendix 1: Bambadji Project historic drill program details of the drill holes and assay results of significance

Dear Readers,

The gold price rose significantly over the past week. The main supportive factors were fading expectations of imminent interest-rate hikes in the United States and, at times, easing inflation concerns. Geopolitical developments surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz remain a double-edged influence: de-escalation could lower oil prices and therefore inflationary pressure, while at the same time reducing demand for gold as a safe haven.

For gold, therefore, no single geopolitical factor is decisive. What matters more is the interplay between real interest rates, the U.S. dollar, inflation expectations and risk appetite. A weaker U.S. dollar can support the gold price because the precious metal, which is traded internationally in dollars, becomes relatively less expensive for buyers outside the dollar area. The monetary-policy outlook also remains open: the U.S. Federal Reserve most recently kept its target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%, while several members voted in favour of an increase. Economic and inflation data therefore remain important short-term price drivers.

China and India: Investment Gold Gains Importance

High gold prices are changing the demand structure in Asia's two most important gold markets. According to World Gold Council data, Chinese jewellery demand fell by 32% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, while demand for bars and coins rose by 67% to a quarterly record of 207 tonnes. For the first half of the year, the World Gold Council continued to describe robust bullion demand alongside persistently weak jewellery consumption.

Demand also shifted markedly in India during the first quarter: jewellery demand declined by 19%, while bar-and-coin demand rose by 34% to 62 tonnes. Since 13 May, the gold import duty has also been increased from 6% to 15%. In the second quarter, India's net gold imports fell by 23% year-on-year to 98.1 tonnes, according to the World Gold Council and Reuters. The higher duty likely placed additional pressure on official demand and imports, but it is only one of several factors alongside the price level, incomes, seasonality and investor behaviour.

GoldMining: Large Resource Base and Two Recent PEAs

GoldMining holds a diversified portfolio of gold and gold-copper projects in North and South America. According to the company, the consolidated resource base of its 100%-owned projects comprises approximately 13.1 million ounces of gold equivalent in the Measured and Indicated categories, plus a further 9.0 million ounces of gold equivalent in the Inferred category. At the end of June, the company also reported no financial debt and approximately US$185 million in cash and publicly listed equity holdings.

At the 100%-owned Crucero Project in Peru, an updated Mineral Resource Estimate was published in February 2026 that included antimony for the first time. The Indicated Mineral Resource comprises 42.7 million tonnes grading 1.26 g/t gold equivalent for 1.736 million ounces AuEq. This is supplemented by 34.9 million tonnes grading 0.93 g/t AuEq for 1.038 million ounces in the Inferred category. The resource also contains approximately 51,000 tonnes of antimony in the Indicated category and 37,000 tonnes in the Inferred category. Antimony therefore broadens the project's metal endowment.

Additional valuation perspectives are provided by the updated 2026 Preliminary Economic Assessments. For La Mina in Colombia, the PEA base case reports an after-tax net present value at a 5% discount rate of approximately US$1.0 billion, an internal rate of return of 32.2% and an initial payback period of approximately 2.7 years. For São Jorge in Brazil, the PEA reports an after-tax net present value of US$532 million, an internal rate of return of 42.4% and an initial payback period of 2.8 years. Both base cases use a gold price of US$3,500 per ounce. The PEAs are preliminary in nature and include Inferred Mineral Resources.

Banyan Gold: AurMac Ahead of Its First PEA

Banyan Gold is advancing the AurMac Project in Yukon. The 303-square-kilometre project is located approximately 40 kilometres from Mayo, is crossed by a main road and, according to the company, benefits from a three-phase power line, an existing substation and cellular coverage.

The Mineral Resource Estimate updated in May 2026 comprises 3.639 million ounces of gold in the Indicated category (167.3 million tonnes grading 0.68 g/t gold) and 4.985 million ounces in the Inferred category (267.2 million tonnes grading 0.58 g/t gold). Banyan has engaged AMC Mining Consultants, Lycopodium, BGC Engineering and other independent consultants to prepare AurMac's first PEA. The company expects the study to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Exploration is continuing in parallel. In July, Banyan reported additional high-grade mineralization in the Powerline area at AurMac. At the Nitra Project, approximately 25 kilometres west of AurMac, a new zone of high-grade gold mineralization was identified at the Roaring Fork target, while visible gold was also reported in drill core at the Seattle Creek target. These results are exploration data and, on their own, do not demonstrate economic viability.

Conclusion: Gold Remains Sensitive to Interest Rates - Project Progress Provides Additional Catalysts

The recent rise in the gold price illustrates how quickly changing expectations for interest rates, inflation and the U.S. dollar can be reflected in the precious metal. At the same time, physical demand in Asia remains divided: high prices are weighing on jewellery demand, while investment products are gaining importance. GoldMining combines a broad resource base with two recent PEAs and a strong balance sheet. Banyan Gold is working toward an important project milestone with the AurMac PEA expected in the fourth quarter of 2026.

INFILL DRILLING ASSAY HIGHLIGHTS

This news release includes assays from 12 surface infill holes. The HQ diamond drill ("DD") holes total 2,628.6 m with starting depths ranging from 146.8 m to 459.8 m.

The 12 holes listed below test a strike length of over 700 m of the current Indicated Resource nearest the initial planned production areas, confirming mineralization continuity in areas with previously sparse intersections and with structural complexity. The intersections aim to upgrade the area to a Measured Resource while providing structural and geotechnical data that strengthen the understanding of structural controls on mineralization and the mine design.

The complete list of assay results, including true thickness estimates, are presented in Table 1. In addition to the grades listed below, NUS-DD-26-08 intersected 0.6 m at 0.69 g/t Pt and 0.42 g/t Pd. This provides additional insight to previous showings of palladium and platinum previously encountered in hole NUS-DD-14-001.

Table 1. Length-weighted assay returns above the cut-off grade of 0.30% Cu from the ongoing infill drilling program

1. Metal prices assumed were US$4.20/lb Cu, US$27.00/oz Ag and US$2,200/oz Au and coefficient factors of 0.00781 for Ag and 0.740 for Au

2. The applied formula for copper equivalent was: CuEq% = Cu%_Grade + (0.00781 * Ag_Grade) + (0.74 * Au_Grade)

3. Metallurgical recovery assumptions were 96% Cu, 80% Ag and 93% Au, which stem from SGS metallurgical test work completed in 2022

4. The cut-off grade of 0.30% Cu was derived from the price and recovery values above, as well as a smelter payability of 97.3% and an assumed total operating cost US$26.20/t of ore

5. True thickness was calculated using: True Thickness = (From - To) * sin (intersection alpha angle)

6. True thickness metres have been rounded to one decimal place

The sections and plan view shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4 provide a reference to the current Measured and Indicated Resource. Section A-A' shows a fan patterned that was aimed at a previous corridor of sparse drilling close to the area of earliest planned mine development and production. Holes such as GT-DD-26-05 were extended to assess ground conditions in areas of planned underground infrastructure. The fan confirms the presence of thicker mineralization in this area of the mineralized horizon, with intersects of up to 3.16 m in hole NUS-DD-26-04 returning copper grades above the cut-off grade of 0.3%.

The infill drilling seen in Sections B-B', C-C', E-E' and F-F' targeted shallow areas that were not tested in previous drilling, leaving this mineralized horizon unsampled and poorly defined, particularly the diabase intrusive that runs parallel to the mineralization.

Holes such as NUS-DD-26-01 and NUS-DD-26-02 alleviate such issues and have subsequently yielded strong results.

Section D-D' shows a portion of the mineralized horizon that is affected by the presence of a large fault. Consequently, previous Mineral Resource Estimates have been very conservative in this area which resulted in a break in the existing mine design. The analysis of these results constrains the fault boundaries and indicates additional tonnages extending from the known Measured Resource. Based on these findings, the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) will be updated, leading to an optimized mine design.

DEEP EXPLORATION DRILLING PROGRAM

Blue Moon continues to expand the high-grade, deep mineralization in the western limb of the Nussir project, following up on the recommendations outlined in the NI 43-101 Technical Report by Adam Wheeler where a high-grade intercept of 9.7 meters at 1.22% CuEq in hole NUS-DD-14-001 was identified at a depth of 1.2 km.

The Company previously announced results from this zone in its April 15, 2026 news release, showcasing 2 successful intercepts of this high-grade zone returning 1.75% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au and 27.91 g/t Ag (2.08% CuEq) over 6.7 meters (NUS-DD-1401-02 at 1,166.5 meters) and 0.86% Cu, 0.16 g/t Au and 27.75 g/t Ag (1.19% CuEq) over 3.0 meters (NUS-DD-1401-03A at 1,120.7 meters).

This additional intersection is not only encouraging for the continuity of mineralization but also its thickness between the deeper intersections from April's press release and the existing resource defined in the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate. Observations such as those shown in Figure 4 and the section in Figure 5, as well as those from beyond the mineralized horizon, are key to understanding the mineralization variability and zonation within the deposit. Hypotheses generated during continued studies of vein paragenesis and structural mapping strengthen the geological model and will guide further exploration programs.

SAMPLING AND QA/QC

Drill core currently produced at Nussir are in both NQ and HQ diameters; the 2026 winter-spring infill program was drilled in HQ for greater sample yield for ongoing metallurgical test work. This HQ drill core was sampled with half sawn core for metallurgical test work and quarter core for multi-element analysis. The NQ drill core, produced from all other programs, will use half core samples for multi-element analysis. The remaining half and quarter core will be retained by Blue Moon for future reference.

Starting in March 2026, Blue Moon's samples from Q1 drilling have been shipped and delivered to ALS Piteå in Sweden. Such material has also been complemented by previously unsampled, mineralized material, from historical drill cores stored at The Geological Survey of Norway's drill core archive at Løkken. Samples are prepared at ALS Piteå before being shipped to ALS's facility in Ireland where they are subjected to fire assay and multi-element analysis (currently ME-ICP61 & PGM-ICP24). The ALS laboratory in Piteå maintains ISO 17025 accreditation via SWEDAC.

Sample size is stipulated to be 1 meter, while acknowledging boundaries such as lithological contacts. The current procedure is to sample 15 meters to either side of known and visual mineralization. QA/QC samples, in the form of sample blanks, duplicates and certified reference materials ("CRM") are currently inserted every 8th sample, equating to an insertion rate of 12.5%. Duplicates are quarter core whilst CRM material, closely matched to the Nussir mineralization, is supplied from OREAS.

Dear Readers,

Bank of America remains constructive on the uranium market. According to a report published by Investing.com on 9 July 2026, the bank saw particularly strong upside potential in uranium despite lowering forecasts for numerous precious and base metals. The uranium spot price at the time was approximately 23% below BofA's average 2026 forecast. Drivers cited included contracting frictions, supply discipline and potential additional utility purchases. As the underlying Bank of America research was not available to the editorial team, the statement is presented here as a secondary-source reference.

The fundamental backdrop remains supportive over the longer term. The World Nuclear Association estimates global reactor uranium requirements for 2025 at approximately 68,920 tonnes of uranium (tU). Under its Reference Scenario, requirements could rise to more than 150,000 tU by 2040. At the same time, mine production covered approximately 90% of annual reactor requirements in 2024, with the remaining gap supplied from inventories and other secondary sources.

This does not imply an automatic near-term supply shortage. However, new mines, restarts and expansions often require several years, substantial capital investment and regulatory approvals. Rising reactor requirements, geopolitically fragmented supply chains and utilities' focus on greater security of supply could therefore support additional long-term contracting. The uranium price remains an important value driver for uranium equities, while pronounced share-price volatility and project-specific risks must also be considered.

IsoEnergy: High-Grade Resource and U.S. Restart Optionality

IsoEnergy - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/mining-news-flash-with-mogotes-metals-osisko-development-and-isoenergy/ - is a diversified uranium development company with current and historical Mineral Resources in Canada, the United States and Australia. The company is not currently producing uranium, but holds permitted, past-producing conventional uranium and vanadium mines in Utah and therefore describes itself as a potential near-term producer. No final restart or production decision has been made.

The flagship Larocque East Project in the eastern Athabasca Basin hosts the Hurricane Deposit. Its current Mineral Resource comprises 48.6 million lb U₃O₈ grading 34.5% U₃O₈ in the Indicated category and 2.7 million lb grading 2.2% U₃O₈ in the Inferred category. According to the company, the mineralization occurs at a depth of approximately 325 metres and is located around 40 kilometres northwest of the McClean Lake mill. In July 2026, IsoEnergy continued its summer drill program of up to 8,000 metres, designed to test the potential extension of mineralization along the Hurricane South Trend.

Tony M in Utah provides a second and distinctly different development option. By April 2026, IsoEnergy had mined approximately 2,100 U.S. short tons, equivalent to about 1,900 metric tonnes, of mineralized material as part of a bulk sample program. The operating, cost and processing data gathered are expected to inform an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment. The company is also evaluating ore-sorting and upgrading technologies that, in earlier small-scale tests, concentrated a large proportion of the uranium into a materially smaller mass. Whether these results can be replicated at larger scale and on an economic basis remains to be demonstrated.

Premier American Uranium: Two U.S. Work Programs

Premier American Uranium - https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/exploration-updates-from-banyan-gold-fury-gold-mines-and-premier-american-uranium/ - is focused on uranium projects in the United States. Its portfolio spans five states and includes projects in New Mexico, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Arizona. A bought-deal private placement completed in February 2026 generated gross proceeds of approximately C$15 million and strengthened the funding available for ongoing work programs.

At Cebolleta in New Mexico, the company completed a 6,030-foot PQ core drilling program in July 2026 and delivered 77 core samples to Hazen Research. The planned metallurgical test program is intended, among other objectives, to evaluate assumptions relating to uranium recovery through heap leaching and potential improvements for future technical and economic studies. According to the company, the results are intended to inform an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for 2027. The 2025 PEA is preliminary in nature, includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too geologically speculative for economic considerations to be applied that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

At the Kaycee Project in Wyoming, 19 drill holes totalling 17,100 feet had been completed as of 17 June 2026. Seven holes intersected uranium mineralization grading at least 0.02% eU₃O₈ based on downhole gamma-probe measurements. These are radiometrically derived equivalent uranium grades rather than direct chemical assays, and no corrections were made for radiometric disequilibrium. The company planned up to 100,000 feet of drilling for the 2026 season to systematically test several target areas.

Conclusion: Two Different Forms of Exposure to the Same Market

The uranium thesis combines rising long-term reactor requirements with a primary supply base that can adjust only slowly. This may create opportunities, although the cycle remains volatile and capital-intensive. IsoEnergy combines an exceptionally high-grade Canadian resource with the potential restart of past-producing U.S. mines. Premier American Uranium provides a more exploration- and development-oriented exposure to the expansion of a domestic U.S. uranium supply chain. At both companies, progress remains dependent on technical results, permitting, financing, execution and a sustainable uranium price.

Japan is pushing ahead with the extraction of rare-earth sludge from the seabed within its exclusive economic zone surrounding the remote Pacific island of Minami-Torishima. Between January 12 and February 14, 2026, the Japanese Marine Science and Technology Agency (JAMSTEC) tested a closed-loop extraction system using the deep-sea drilling vessel “Chikyu” at a water depth of approximately 6,000 meters. A more extensive mining trial, lasting about one month, is scheduled for February 2027. Based on the data collected during this trial, the technical and economic feasibility of domestic rare earth production will also be assessed by March 2028.

The sediments contain rare earth elements, including yttrium. While these elements are not universally rare from a geological perspective, they are considered critical to the supply chain due to concentrated mining and processing capacities, as well as their importance for electronics, high-performance magnets, and other key technologies. Japan’s trial is therefore primarily a signal regarding technology and industrial policy: The country wants to examine whether an additional, domestic source of raw materials can be technically managed and economically exploited.

Who decides on deep-sea mining?

The Japanese test site is located within Japan’s exclusive economic zone. It is therefore not subject to direct regulation by the International Seabed Authority (ISA). The Jamaica-based organization is responsible for mineral activities in the international seabed area beyond national jurisdiction. Although exploration contracts have been awarded there, commercial exploitation has not yet been approved. Member states are still negotiating a binding set of rules, including environmental standards and monitoring mechanisms.

The debate centers on potential damage to poorly understood deep-sea ecosystems, sediment plumes, noise, habitat disruption, and the question of how long-term impacts can be monitored. Germany therefore continues to support a precautionary moratorium until the risks have been sufficiently investigated and strict rules have been established. At the same time, German authorities and research institutions are participating in the scientific exploration of the seabed. Research and the political call for restraint in commercial extraction are thus not mutually exclusive.

Economically as well, the transition from pilot operations to continuous production remains challenging. Extraction technology, energy consumption, material transport, processing, and environmental monitoring must function reliably at great depths. Until these questions are convincingly answered, terrestrial deposits, recycling, and more efficient use of raw materials will remain the cornerstones of the supply of nickel, cobalt, copper, and other critical metals.

In this context, Canada Nickel Company Inc. - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/canada-nickel-company-inc/ - is developing several nickel sulfide projects in the Timmins Nickel District in Ontario. For its flagship Crawford project, the company received a positive Decision Statement from Canada’s Minister of Environment, Climate Change, and Nature on July 31, 2026. This marked the conclusion of the federal environmental and impact assessment with a positive decision. Canada Nickel described Crawford as the first mining project to receive such a decision under the Canadian Impact Assessment Act, as amended by the 2019.

The decision is a major regulatory milestone, but does not yet guarantee construction or production. According to the company, detailed planning, project financing, and additional provincial and federal permits are still pending. Canada Nickel aims to secure a construction decision in 2027. Whether and when Crawford will actually be built and brought into production therefore continues to depend on financing, permits, construction execution, metal prices, and other technical and economic factors.

At the same time, the company is expanding its resource base in the region. With the first mineral resource estimate for Nesbitt, Canada Nickel announced in July 2026 the ninth property with a published resource estimate in the Timmins area. Across these nine projects, the company’s reported measured and indicated mineral resources totaled approximately 4.36 billion metric tons averaging 0.24 percent nickel; in addition, there were approximately 5.70 billion metric tons of inferred mineral resources averaging 0.23 percent nickel. Mineral resources are not to be equated with mineral reserves. Inferred resources also have a lower degree of geological certainty and should not be interpreted as a proven economic basis.

Aurania Resources Ltd. - https://www.commodity-tv.com/ondemand/companies/profil/aurania-resources-ltd/ - is focusing a growing portion of its activities on precious metals and critical raw materials in Europe. At the Balangero project in northern Italy, the company is working with partners to investigate the potential recovery of nickel, cobalt, and other metals from historic mine tailings. In February 2026, Aurania released laboratory results for 28 samples collected. According to the company, these samples contained 1,560 to 2,015 ppm of nickel, 81.5 to 108 ppm of cobalt, and 16.2 to 146 ppm of copper. These were sample analyses and not drill results. The work is in an early evaluation stage; no mineral resource or economic viability can yet be derived from the data collected to date.

In France, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurania was granted the three exploration permits—Epona, Taranis, and Bélénos—in December 2025 for gold and polymetallic minerals in Brittany and the adjacent Pays de la Loire region. In Iceland, Aurania holds an interest in the Thormodsdalur gold-silver project—also known as Thor—through an option agreement. By incurring exploration expenditures totaling $5 million over four years, the company can initially acquire a 70 percent stake. These projects are also in the exploration phase and are subject to the geological, financial, and permitting risks typical of early-stage projects.

Conclusion: The Deep Sea Remains an Option—Onshore Projects Remain Crucial

Japan’s program demonstrates that the technical development of mineral resources in extreme water depths is advancing. However, this does not yet imply that deep-sea mining will be economically viable on an industrial scale. Regulatory, environmental, and economic hurdles remain high. For the supply of critical metals, therefore, onshore projects, recycling, and material efficiency are likely to remain crucial for the foreseeable future.

With the federal government’s positive decision regarding Crawford, Canada Nickel has made significant progress toward the potential implementation of the project, but it must still overcome further hurdles related to permitting, financing, and construction. Aurania Resources is pursuing several early-stage exploration and reprocessing initiatives in Europe, whose technical and economic potential must first be confirmed through further work. Both companies thus offer different approaches to the issue of critical raw materials—one through an advanced nickel project, the other through a diversified portfolio of early-stage European projects.

Darren Hall, CEO of Equinox Gold, commented: “With completion of the business combination with Orla Mining on July 31, we enter the second half of 2026 as North America’s new senior gold producer, with meaningfully greater production and cash flow, and one of the industry’s strongest organic growth profiles. The financial benefits of the combination will begin to be reflected in our third quarter results, with our focus on disciplined integration, operational execution and delivering the long-term value this transformational combination has created.

“The second quarter reflected continued improvement across our Canadian operations, with higher production at both Greenstone and Valentine. At Valentine, high-grade reconciliation improved significantly compared to the first quarter as our operational initiatives gained traction, and that positive trend continued into July. The process plant continues to perform exceptionally well, consistently exceeding nameplate capacity, while ongoing gains in mining performance are supporting higher-grade mill feed. Together with Greenstone’s continued ramp-up and the addition of Musselwhite, we expect our Canadian portfolio to deliver higher production at lower unit costs through the second half of 2026.

“The new Company’s consolidated 2026 production guidance of 870,000 to 920,000 ounces of gold reflects 12 months of production from Equinox Gold’s existing portfolio and five months (August through December) from the assets acquired with Orla Mining. On a pro-forma basis, considering a full 12 months of production from both companies, annual production is expected to be approximately 1.1 million ounces of gold in 2026.

“The Board of Directors has approved construction of the Phase 2 expansion at Valentine, reflecting our confidence in the operation and our disciplined approach to investing in high-return organic growth. The expansion is expected to increase processing capacity to approximately 13,700 tonnes per day (5.0 Mtpa) and average annual gold production to approximately 223,000 ounces, unlocking the full long-term value of this cornerstone Canadian mine. Construction is expected to be completed in late 2028.

“With the merger complete, the Board of Directors has approved a 50% increase to our quarterly dividend, reflecting the strength of our balance sheet, our growing free cash flow generation, and our commitment to delivering meaningful shareholder returns while continuing to invest in high-return organic growth opportunities. 

“Our focus is clear: achieve operational excellence, allocate capital with discipline and successfully execute our organic growth pipeline, creating long-term shareholder value as North America’s new senior gold producer.”

• As of July 31, 2026, Equinox Gold had a pro forma net cash position of $214 million (excluding convertible debentures)^2,4 and available liquidity of $1,214 million⁴

¹ All Operations includes both Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations (the Brazil mines that were sold in January 2026).

² Cash costs per oz sold, AISC per oz sold, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted net income, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, sustaining expenditures, and net debt are non-IFRS measures. See Non-IFRS Measures and Cautionary Notes.

³ Anticipated production growth comes from completion of the Valentine Phase 2 expansion (Canada) and with Castle Mountain (USA), South Railroad (USA), Los Filos (Mexico) and Camino Rojo underground (Mexico) in production and operating in line with expectations outlined in current technical reports, which technical reports are available under the respective SEDAR+ profiles of Equinox Gold (in the case of Valentine, Castle Mountain and Los Filos) and Orla (in the case of South Railroad and Camino Rojo).

⁴ Net cash is calculated using combined Equinox Gold and Orla cash of $729 million, as at June 30, 2026, as reported by Equinox Gold and Orla, and drawn debt of $515 million as at July 31, 2026, excluding in-the-money convertible debentures and equipment loans. Pro forma adjustments reflect the repayment of the Orla Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility but exclude estimated transaction costs that will be reflected in Q3 2026. Available liquidity is calculated as combined $729 million of cash as at June 30, 2026 plus $485 million of undrawn debt on Equinox Gold’s Revolving Credit Facility as at July 31, 2026. 

Updated 2026 Guidance Reflects Combined Company  

Following completion of the business combination with Orla Mining on July 31, 2026, Equinox Gold is providing updated consolidated guidance for 2026 that reflects five months (August to December 2026) of contribution from Musselwhite and Camino Rojo. For comparative purposes, on a full-year pro forma basis assuming the Equinox Gold and Orla Mining business combination had been completed on January 1, 2026, consolidated 2026 production guidance would have been approximately 1.1 million ounces of gold. 

¹ Cash costs per ounce sold and AISC per ounce sold are non-IFRS measures. See Non-IFRS Measures and Cautionary Notes. Consolidated AISC per oz sold excludes corporate general and administrative expenses.

² 2026 Growth Capital guidance includes $70-$80M for South Railroad and $35-$40M for Los Filos. Valentine’s Growth Capital includes $50-$60M allocated to Phase 2.

³ General and administrative expenses exclude share-based compensation and transaction costs.

2026 updated guidance reflects year-to-date performance and expected production for the balance of the year. The Company anticipates stronger production from its Canadian operations – Greenstone, Musselwhite and Valentine – in the second half of 2026, driving improved consolidated AISC for the remainder of 2026. Equinox Gold maintains strong margins, with updated consolidated cash cost guidance of $1,600-$1,700/oz and AISC guidance of $1,900-$2,000/oz. Cash cost and AISC guidance ranges by asset have been revised to reflect year-to-date results and the impact of higher fuel prices.

Equinox Gold will continue to advance its portfolio of organic growth projects, with $105-$120 million in growth capital allocated to studies, engineering, procurement and construction. This includes $70-$80 million at South Railroad in the United States, where the Company anticipates receiving a Federal Record of Decision, a key permitting milestone, in August 2026; and $35-$40 million at Los Filos in Mexico. In addition, updated guidance includes $50-$60 million of growth capital for the Valentine Phase 2 expansion, which was not included in the Company’s original 2026 guidance. As a result, the Company’s consolidated 2026 growth capital guidance is $600-$650 million.

Non-IFRS Measures

In this news release, cash costs, cash costs per oz sold, AISC, AISC per oz sold, adjusted net income, adjusted EPS, mine-site free cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, net debt, and sustaining capital expenditures are measures with no standardized meaning under IFRS, i.e. they are non-IFRS measures, and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Their measurement and presentation is consistently prepared and is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Numbers presented in the tables below may not sum due to rounding.

Cash Costs and Cash Costs per oz Sold

Cash costs is a common financial performance measure in the gold mining industry; however, it has no standard meaning under IFRS. The Company reports total cash costs on a per oz sold basis. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance and ability to generate operating income and cash flow from mining operations. Cash costs are calculated as mine site operating costs and are net of costs allocated to by-products. Cash costs are divided by ounces sold to arrive at cash costs per oz sold. In calculating cash costs, the Company deducts costs allocated to by-products as it considers the cost to produce the gold is reduced as a result of the by-product sales incidental to the gold production process, thereby allowing management and other stakeholders to assess the net costs of gold production. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operations under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

AISC per oz Sold

The Company uses AISC per oz of gold sold to measure performance. The methodology for calculating AISC was developed internally and is outlined below. Current IFRS measures used in the gold industry, such as operating expenses, do not capture all of the expenditures incurred to discover, develop and sustain gold production. The Company believes AISC per oz sold provides further transparency into costs associated with producing gold and will assist analysts, investors and other stakeholders of the Company in assessing its operating performance, its ability to generate free cash flow from current operations and its overall value. AISC includes cash costs (described above) and also includes sustaining capital expenditures, sustaining lease payments, reclamation cost accretion and amortization and exploration and evaluation costs. This measure seeks to reflect the full cost of gold production from current operations, therefore, expansionary capital and non-sustaining expenditures are excluded. 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash costs per oz of gold sold and AISC per oz of gold sold to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on an aggregate basis:

1. Non-recurring charges recognized in operating expenses relates to a write-down of heap leach ore at Los Filos driven by the indefinite suspension of operations on April 1, 2025.
2. Consolidated cash cost per oz sold and AISC per oz sold exclude Castle Mountain results after August 31, 2024 when residual leaching commenced, Los Filos results after March 31, 2025 as operations were indefinitely suspended on April 1, 2025 and Valentine results for the period prior to December 2025 after the mine achieved commercial production. Consolidated AISC per oz sold excludes corporate general and administration expenses.
3. See table below.

The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs and AISC from Discontinued Operations: 

Sustaining Capital and Sustaining Expenditures

The following table provides a reconciliation of sustaining capital expenditures to the Company’s total capital expenditures for Continuing Operations:

1. Per note 6 of the consolidated financial statements. Capital additions exclude non-cash changes to reclamation assets arising from changes in discount rate and inflation rate assumptions in the reclamation provision.
2. Non-cash additions include right-of-use assets associated with leases recognized in the period, capitalized depreciation for deferred stripping activities, and capitalized non-cash share-based compensation.
3. Relates to Castle Mountain after August 2024 when residual leaching commenced, Los Filos after March 2025 as operations were indefinitely suspended on April 1, 2025 and Valentine for the period prior to December 2025 after the mine achieved commercial production.
4. See table below.

The following table provides a reconciliation of sustaining capital and sustaining expenditures from Discontinued Operations: 

Total Mine-Site Free Cash Flow

The following table provides a reconciliation of mine-site free cash flow to the most directly comparable IFRS measure on an aggregate basis:

1. Non-recurring charges recognized in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 include a write-down of heap leach ore at Los Filos driven by the indefinite suspension of operations on April 1, 2025.
2. Includes taxes paid and proceeds from gold prepayments that are not factored into mine-site free cash flow and are included in operating cash flow before non-cash changes in working capital in the statement of cash flows.
3. See table below.

The following table provides a reconciliation of mine site free cash flow after changes in working capital from Discontinued Operations: 

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 

The following tables provide the calculation of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by the Company:

1. Non-recurring charges recognized in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 include a write-down of heap leach ore at Los Filos driven by the indefinite suspension of operations on April 1, 2025.

Technical Information

The scientific and technical information contained in this news release was approved by Matthew MacPhail, P.Eng., Executive Vice President, Technical Services for Equinox Gold and a “Qualified Person” under National Instrument 43-101.

Line to 3D Visuals: https://vrify.com/decks/23480?auth=829532ad-ef99-48f1-a3e6-b5e9667f5c44

Tony Makuch, Discovery’s CEO, commented: “The excellent drilling results we are announcing today are extremely encouraging as we work towards releasing NI 43-101 resource estimates at Dome and TVZ before the end of 2026, and further advancing Owl Creek. These are three critical growth projects that, collectively, could contribute between a quarter and half a million ounces of annual gold production. With an existing 11.0 million ounce Inferred Resource, we expect Dome to become our second largescale, open-pit operation in Timmins, along with Pamour, where recent drill results confirmed a strike length extending more than 4.0 km, with the mineralization remaining open in multiple directions and at depth. TVZ and Owl Creek are part of the Hoyle Pond Complex and both will benefit from our recent acquisition of the Kidd Metallurgical Site, located contiguous to Hoyle Pond and Pamour. Our plan for the Met Site is to construct a new conventional gold circuit that will process material from Pamour, Hoyle Pond, Owl Creek and other potential new sources of production. We also plan to commence processing Borden material using one of the current flotation circuits, likely beginning early next year, and will convert another circuit to gold flotation for future processing of TVZ material, given the refractory nature of the mineralization.  

“Looking at today’s results, drilling at Dome continued to intersect excellent grades and widths in the southwest, north and northeast portions of the project, including favourable results from drilling below the north wall of the current resource pit. At TVZ, additional high-grade intersections were reported from drilling on both the 1210 and 1680 levels, with the results demonstrating excellent correlation of mineralized zones and grades with previously drilled holes and also confirming the down plunge potential of the TVZ zone. We also have completed drilling to collect samples for metallurgical testing, with the results expected to be received later this year. Drilling at Owl Creek included additional positive results, with the Company having now commenced work on a 1.5 km underground drift from Hoyle Pond to Owl Creek. Development of the drift will support an acceleration of drilling for additional extensions at Owl Creek and the 750 Zone, and the evaluation of new targets, such as the historic 350 Zone, which is located 500 m to the east of the 750 Zone.” 

Dome Mine Project

Drilling at Dome included a total of 23 holes (8,391 m) being completed (Figure 1), with 5 holes (451 

m) being abandoned due to excessive deviation from the target.    

Dome is among the largest historic gold producers in Canada, with total production of 16.7 million ounces from both underground and open pit sources between 1910 and 2017. 

Geologically, the mine is located on the south limb of the Porcupine Syncline and is just north of the Destor Porcupine Fault, with mineralization in multiple zones extending from surface to a depth of approximately 1,600 m. 

The current mineral resource at Dome includes 222.3 million tonnes with an average grade of 1.49 gpt for a total of 11.0 million ounces in the Inferred category. The resource assumes a large-scale, openpit concept to expand the historic pit along strike and to depth.  

The current drill program is being completed in preparation for a new mineral resource estimate and involves drilling in areas surrounding and below the historic pit. The work program also includes further evaluations of data and mineralization models to upgrade portions of the resource to the Indicated resource category, and to evaluate the potential for future underground mining at Dome.  

The new drilling was focused on infilling gaps in information and confirmation of historic drill holes in the southwest, north and northeast portions of the property and continued to obtain highly encouraging results.    

Drilling in the southwest portion of the property included nine holes (3,096 m) to evaluate mineralization near the limits of the current resource pit. and continued to indicate excellent grades and widths of mineralization at very shallow depths from surface. Significant results include: 1.89 gpt over 12.1m, in hole DOM26-033; 1.48 gpt over 12.0m, in DOM26-030; 1.38 gpt over 17.0m, in hole DOM26-034;  0.79 gpt over 11.9m, in hole DOM26-024; and 1.72 gpt over 7.0m, 0.76 gpt over 10.8m; 0.79 gpt over 6.0m and, 3.26 gpt over 4.1m, in hole DOM26-026 (Table 1). 

Drilling in the north portion of the property included 8 holes (4,349 m) to evaluate the mineralization below the north wall of the resource pit and was also very successful. Significant results include 9.09 gpt over 17.3m including 14.76 gpt over 7.8m, 3.86 gpt over 18.0m including 15.39 gpt over 2.6m, 13.49 gpt over 3.5m in hole DOM26-050; 1.03 gpt over 17.8m, 4.89 gpt over 2.8m and, 2.26 gpt over 4.2m, in hole DOM26-006A; 1.61 gpt over 13.2m and 22.0 gpt over 1.0m in hole DOM26-011; 3.04 gpt over 2.0m in hole DOM26-015; 1.51 gpt over 3.8m in hole DOM26-016 and; 5.04 gpt over 

8.4m, including 11.20 gpt over 3.0m, in hole DOM26-008.  

Drilling to the northeast included one new hole (495 m) which tested near the northeast limit of the resource pit and intersected a quartz vein structure containing 278.48 gpt over 1.1m, including 951.0 gpt over 0.3m. 

Drilling at the project is continuing with two drills, one located in the southwest portion of the historic open pit and the other on the north side. Work is also continuing to evaluate additional drill targets to the north, south and west sides of the pit. Considering results and progress to date, the project remains on track for the planned resource update in late 2026.

Figure 1. Dome ResultsTVZ Project 

Drilling at the Hoyle Pond Mine included a total of 22 holes totalling 5,238.5 m (including 1 abandoned hole – 261m) from the 1210 level and 1680 level exploration drifts to confirm and expand the TVZ Zone. 

TVZ is a significant zone of gold mineralization located between the 800 and 1800 m levels in the southeast portion of the Hoyle Pond Mine (Figures 2 and 3).  

Past work at the project includes 437 holes (172,319 m) of wide-spaced drilling from three main platforms on the 900, 1210 and 1410 levels, as well as limited development, mapping, chip sampling and metallurgical test work on the 1210 level. Results from the drilling, mapping and chip sampling have been positive and indicate multiple holes with grades exceeding 5.00 gpt over widths of 5 to 10 m. The results also indicate positive results from the two deepest holes to test the zone to date, holes 21009 and 21094, with returned values of 6.29 gpt over 5.3 m and 4.98 gpt over 4.0 m, respectively, between the 1550 and 1610 levels. As a result, the potential to extend the zone to greater depths is considered excellent. 

Results of the past metallurgical work indicate a strong correlation of gold with arsenopyrite and variable recoveries, but with the potential for improvement using enhanced processing.    

The current work program is designed to infill and expand the TVZ Zone, with drilling ongoing from the historic drill platforms, in preparation for an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource in late 2026.  

Drilling from the 1210 Level includes 19 holes (4,257m) that intersect the target model near the level elevation and extend up to 200 metres above and below it. Selected intervals from these holes have been sampled and submitted to XPS Laboratories in Sudbury, Ontario, for metallurgical testing. Results are expected late 2026.  

Significant results from holes drilled near the 1210 level include: 5.13 gpt over 18.2m and 5.15gpt over 12.0m, in hole 27967; 7.04 gpt over 16.9m, in hole 27970; 5.17 gpt over 21.0m, in hole 27971; 

5.73 gpt over 23.2m, in hole 27972; 6.93gpt over 11.7m and 4.54 gpt over 22.9m, in hole 27974; 

5.65 gpt over 30.5m, including 9.05 gpt over 13.2m, in hole 27976; and 4.40 gpt over 14.0m, in hole 27977. Significant results from holes above the level include: 5.84 gpt over 10.6m, in hole 27889 and 

5.13 gpt over 5.3m, in hole 27888 and significant results from below the level include: 5.24 gpt over 

12.9m, in hole 27891; 3.45 gpt over 15.0m and 4.59 gpt over 25.0m in hole 27969; 2.73 gpt over 19.9m and 4.54 gpt over 18.4m in hole 27968; 3.06 gpt over 15.1m and 6.80gpt over 8.0m in hole 27894; 4.41 gpt over 13.4m in hole 27890 and 5.46 gpt over 12.5m and 4.43 gpt over 4.4m, in hole 27892 (Table 2 and Figure 3). Review of results indicates good correlation of mineralized zones and grades within the new holes and previously drilled holes with local upsides in grade noted due to unsampled core in older holes.  

Drilling from the 1680 level includes 2 holes (720.5 m) to continue testing the lower part of the target model which also obtained very favourable results including: 4.51 gpt over 9.0 m, in hole 27849 and; 4.30 gpt over 24.4m, including 5.73 gpt over 12.4m, in hole 27899. The intercept in hole 27899 is located approximately 130 meters above the 1680 level and 40 meters up plunge of previously released hole 27854 which intersected 5.82 gpt over 9.0m and 4.32 gpt over 19.0m, and the intercepts in hole 27849 are located 50 meters below the 1680 level and 30 meters east of hole 27855 which intersected 3.20 gpt over 6.7m, including 5.78 gpt over 2.5m and 15.60 gpt over 0.3m (see press release dated April 23,2026).  

Drilling at TVZ is ongoing with two drill rigs operating from the 1210 level and one drill on the 1410 level. Current drilling on the 1210 level is primarily focused on infilling and extending mineralization proximal to historic drill intercepts, while drilling from the 1410 level continues to test the projected down plunge extension of the TVZ Zone.

Owl Creek 

Drilling at the Owl Creek Project included a total of 10 holes (4,216 m) to confirm and expand mineralization near the former Owl Creek open pit (Figure 4). Of the holes drilled, three holes (294 m) were abandoned due to excessive deviation. 

The Owl Creek open pit is located approximately 1.5 kilometres west of the Hoyle Pond Ramp Portal and along the south side of the Hoyle Pond belt near the contact between metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks. The pit, as well as two underground ramps below it, were developed by Falconbridge Gold in the 1980's and were utilized to recover approximately 237,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 3.75 gpt.  

Significant results include: 7.09 gpt over 17.0m, including 23.12 gpt over 3.9, in hole OC26-036B; 6.35gpt over 9.4m, 2.69 gpt over 30.9m, including 9.31 gpt over 2.0m and, 2.86 gpt over 17.4m, in hole OC26-038; 3.41 gpt over 17.0m, including 7.45 gpt over 3.1m;5.96 gpt over 7.0m in hole OC27042; 5.73 gpt over 4.2m and 2.74 gpt over 30.4m in hole OC26-046; 4.72 gpt over 24.0m, including 

12.26 gpt over 6.8m, in hole OC26-040; 4.86 gpt over 8.4m in hole OC26-044; and 19.35 gpt over

5.4m, including 270.0 gpt over 0.3m in hole OC26-045A (Table 3).  

Holes OC26-036B, OC26-038, OC26-040, and OC26-042 were drilled to infill previously untested gaps in the eastern portion of the deposit between the 275 m and 375 m levels. Hole OC26-036B was drilled approximately 335 m below previously released hole OC26-029A, while hole OC26-038 was drilled approximately 135 m below OC26-029A. Hole OC26-040 was drilled approximately 200 m below OC26029A, and hole OC26-042 was drilled approximately 55 m west of OC26-029A (see press release dated April 23, 2026). 

Holes OC26-040, OC26-44, OC26-045A and OC26-046 were drilled to infill untested areas below the historic pit surface between the surface and the 175 m level. Relative to previously released hole OC26029A, hole OC26-044 was collared approximately 125 m up-dip and 150 m to the west, hole OC26045A was drilled approximately 125 m up-dip and 225 m to the west, and hole OC26-046 was drilled approximately 125 m up-dip and 275 m to the west. 

While the review and interpretation of drilling is still in progress, results to date at both Owl Creek and the 750 Zone are very encouraging. As a result, the Company has initiated a new exploration ramp from the Hoyle Pond Mine to Owl Creek to allow more detailed drilling at Owl Creek, as well as exploration drilling between the two areas.  The new exploration ramp will start from the existing surface portal for the Hoyle Pond Mine located, just north of the 350 Zone, and is projected to be approximately 1.5 km in length. The expected completion date for the ramp is in Q3 2027.   

The current drill program is continuing with two rigs that will focus on infill and extension of mineralization at both the Owl Creek and the 750 zones. Work is also in progress to review potential new drill targets along the Hoyle Pond – Owl Creek Trend, such as the historic 350 Zone, which is located 500 m to the east of the 750 Zone and is partially developed, with a ramp connecting it to the Hoyle Pond Mine near the main ramp portal.

QA/QC CONTROLS 

The Company follows a quality assurance and control (“QA/QC”) program to ensure that sampling and analysis of all exploration work is conducted in accordance with best practices.  

At TVZ, core is logged and sampled in a secure facility at the Hoyle Pond mine site and under supervision of Qualified Geologists.  The NQ sized drill core is predominantly sawn in half with one half of the core prepared for shipment, the other half of core retained for future assay verification. CRM standards, coarse blank material and duplicates are inserted every 20 samples. Core samples are picked up by Activation Laboratories at the Hoyle Pond facility and tracked via a chain of custody from site to the lab for preparation and assaying.  

At Dome, core is logged and sampled in a secure facility at the Dome mine site and under supervision of Qualified Geologists.  The NQ sized drill core is predominantly sawn in half with one half of the core prepared for shipment, the other half of core retained for future assay verification. CRM standards, coarse blank material and duplicates are inserted every 20 samples. Core samples are picked up by Activation Laboratories at the Dome Mine core facility and tracked via a chain of custody from site to the lab for preparation and assaying.  

At Owl Creek, all new drill core collected by Discovery is logged and sampled in a secure facility at the Hoyle Pond mine site and under supervision of Qualified Geologists. The NQ sized drill core is predominantly sawn in half with one half of the core prepared for shipment, the other half of core retained for future assay verification. CRM standards, coarse blank material and duplicates are inserted every 20 samples. Core samples are picked up by Activation Laboratories at the Hoyle Pond facility and tracked via a chain of custody from site to the lab for preparation and assaying.  

Discovery utilizes the accredited external lab Activation Laboratories to manage its core analysis.

($52.0 million for $60.0 million of scheduled payments). Royalty, stream and other interests grew to $1.48 billion as at June 30, 2026 from $1.14 billion at year-end 2025.  

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed the $28.0 million Murray Brook precious metals stream (with a C$5.5 million equity subscription) with Canadian Copper Inc., and entered into a binding agreement with Hot Chili Limited (“Hot Chili”) pursuant to which Hot Chili agreed to extend the Company’s NSR royalties to cover the La Verde project at Costa Fuego in consideration for cash payment of $15.0 million.  

Subsequent to June 30, 2026

• Closing of the previously announced $28.0 million precious metals stream with Canadian Copper Inc. (“Canadian Copper”) with respect to its New Brunswick assets, comprising the Murray Brook properties and the Caribou property, including the Caribou Processing Plant, concurrently with a $3.9 million (C$5.5 million) equity subscription in Canadian Copper;
• Binding agreement with Hot Chili pursuant to which Hot Chili agreed to extend the Company’s royalties (1.0% of payable copper production and 3.0% of payable gold production) to the La Verde project, which is part of the broader Costa Fuego copper-gold project, in consideration for cash payment of $15.0 million payable on closing, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2026;
• Following Agnico Eagle Mines Limited’s July 2, 2026 disclosure regarding the Barnat open pit at Canadian Malartic, the Company increased the pace of repurchases under its normal course issuer bid, acquiring 1,007,496 common shares for $29.1 million (C$40.8 million) in July — more than four times the number of shares repurchased during the entire second quarter — bringing total 2026 repurchases to 1,555,678 shares;
• Increase in the amount available under the revolving credit facility from $650.0 million to $850.0 million and the additional uncommitted accordion from $200.0 million to $350.0 million, as well as extension of the maturity date from May 30, 2029 to August 4, 2030; and,
• Declaration of a quarterly dividend of $0.065 per common share payable on October 15, 2026 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 30, 2026.

Management Commentary

Jason Attew, President & CEO of OR Royalties commented: “Revenues and operating cash flows each grew 62% year-over-year — the arithmetic of a 96.8% cash margin business in a stronger precious metals market — and we remain on track for our 2026 guidance of 80,000 to 90,000 GEOs. We also closed $335.0 million of acquisitions in the quarter, including NSR royalties on San Gabriel, already producing and paying, and Spring Valley, amongst others.

When our shares sold off following Agnico Eagle's July 2 disclosure on the Barnat pit, we bought back over one million shares in early July, more than four times the number of shares repurchased in the entire second quarter, and at meaningfully lower prices. Along these lines, our conviction in Canadian Malartic remains unchanged. And this is what shareholders should expect from us: cash generation strong enough to fund a growing dividend, execute on buybacks when the market misprices our shares, and invest in a still-robust pipeline of new opportunities, all at once.”

1. Non-IFRS Measures

Cash Margin (in dollars and in percentage of revenues)

Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are non-IFRS financial measures. Cash margin (in dollars) is defined by OR Royalties as revenues less cost of sales (excluding depletion). Cash margin (in percentage of revenues) is obtained by dividing the cash margin (in dollars) by the revenues.

Management uses cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues to evaluate OR Royalties’ ability to generate positive cash flow from its royalty, stream and other interests. Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as gross profit and operating cash flows, to evaluate OR Royalties’ performance relative to peers in the mining industry who present these measures on a similar basis. Cash margin in dollars and in percentage of revenues are only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of the cash margin (in thousands of dollars and in percentage of revenues) is presented below:

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share

Adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share are non-IFRS financial measures and are defined by OR Royalties by excluding the following items from net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per share: foreign exchange gains (losses), impairment charges and reversals related to royalty, stream and other interests, changes in allowance for expected credit losses, write-offs and impairments of investments, gains (losses) on disposal of royalty, stream and other interests (excluding gains (losses) on buy-down and buy-back of royalty, stream and other interests), gains (losses) on investments, share of income (loss) of associates, transaction costs and certain other items such as non-cash gains (losses), as well as the impact of income taxes on these items. Adjusted earnings per basic share is obtained from the adjusted earnings divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Management uses adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the underlying operating performance of OR Royalties as a whole for the reporting periods presented, to assist with the planning and forecasting of future operating results, and to supplement information in its consolidated financial statements. Management believes that in addition to measures prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share, investors and analysts use adjusted earnings and adjusted earnings per basic share to evaluate the results of the underlying business of OR Royalties, particularly since the excluded items are typically not included in OR Royalties’ annual guidance. While the adjustments to net earnings (loss) and net earnings (loss) per basic share in these measures include items that are both recurring and non-recurring, management believes that adjusted earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are useful measures of OR Royalties’ performance because they adjust for items which may not relate to or have a disproportionate effect on the period in which they are recognized, impact the comparability of the core operating results from period to period, are not always reflective of the underlying operating performance of the business and/or are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. Adjusted net earnings and adjusted net earnings per basic share are intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. They do not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings is presented below:

Net cash/(net debt) position (in dollars)

Net cash/(net debt) position is a non-IFRS financial measure and is defined by OR Royalties by the cash balance minus the long-term debt balance at the end of a period.

Management uses the net cash/(net debt) position to evaluate OR Royalties’ current net liquidity position (i.e. total cash less total long-term debt). Management and certain investors also use this information, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards such as operating cash flows and undrawn balances available under credit facilities, to evaluate OR Royalties’ investment capacity. Net cash/(net debt) position is only intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. It does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS Accounting Standards and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers.

A reconciliation of the net cash/(net debt) position is presented below:

1. Gold Equivalent Ounces

GEOs are calculated on a quarterly basis and include royalties and streams. Silver ounces and copper tonnes earned from royalty and stream agreements are converted to gold equivalent ounces by multiplying the silver ounces or copper tonnes earned by the average silver price per ounce or copper price per tonne for the period and dividing by the average gold price per ounce for the period. Cash royalties and other metals and commodities are converted into gold equivalent ounces by dividing the associated revenue earned by the average gold price for the period.
