  • On January 22, 2026, a contractor working on surface activities suffered a fatal injury following an isolated incident at the Cariboo Gold Project. The Company promptly notified appropriate authorities, and an investigation of the incident was initiated. Activities at the project site were temporarily suspended to allow for completion of an investigation. On March 2, 2026, resumption of planned site activities was announced, following the successful implementation of a phased gradual reopening plan of surface and underground activities over several preceding weeks, in coordination with and approval from the relevant regulatory authorities, and with a focus on ensuring the health and safety of all employees and contractors.

Cariboo Gold Project – British Columbia, Canada (100%-owned)

  • Infill Drilling Program. The 13,000-metre infill drill program within the Lowhee Zone was undertaken as part of the Appian 2025 Financing Facility obligations.
    • A total of 13,684 metres of drilling has been completed, representing 100% of the planned program, of which 11,025 metres have been released with assays. Assay results and associated quality assurance and quality control reviews are pending for unreleased holes. The Company anticipates finalizing the results for the program in the second quarter of 2026.
  • Pre-Construction Activities. The Company continues to advance pre-construction activities, including certain surface infrastructure and underground development.
    • Water treatment plant: Upgrades to the Bonanza Ledge water treatment plant are in the final commissioning stages, with full operation expected in the second quarter of 2026.
    • Underground development: To date, approximately 2.1 km of underground development has been completed from the existing Cow Portal into the Lowhee Zone, and along the main access ramp, through the Lowhee fault, towards the Cow Mountain Zone. Development progress has been below plan while encountering challenging ground conditions in and around the Lowhee fault, requiring enhanced ground support. Development rates are expected to improve as the ramp advances beyond this zone. The raisebore pad for the first underground ventilation raise started in Q1 2026.
    • Surface infrastructure: Construction of the waste rock storage facility, the sediment control pond, and other critical infrastructure continues. Early works, including tree clearing and geotechnical drilling, commenced in Q1 2026 at the mine site complex, where the primary processing facility will be located.
    • Camp upgrade: The site camp upgrade and expansion to 266 rooms is complete and, together with other Company-controlled accommodations, is expected to provide capacity aligned with peak construction manpower requirements.
  • Exploration & Conversion Drilling Programs. A multi-faceted exploration drilling campaign across the Cariboo Gold Project and regional targets is underway. Together with planned infill drilling that has the objective of upgrading inferred mineral resources to higher confidence categories, up to 20 drill rigs are expected to be active at times throughout 2026, as the various programs overlap and advance, representing up to approximately 160,000 metres of planned drilling across all targets. Eleven drill rigs are currently operating across all programs.
    • Eight drill rigs are currently operating on two surface exploration programs, including four surface drill rigs targeting potential mineralization below the current extent of the Cariboo Gold Project deposit to depths of up to 1,000 metres. To date, approximately 10,600 metres of drilling have been completed, with assays pending.
    • A second surface exploration program on the adjacent Proserpine regional target has ramped up to four drill rigs, with approximately 5,750 metres completed to date.
    • Infill and conversion drilling is planned in 2026 with the objective of upgrading inferred mineral resources to higher confidence resource categories and potentially into mineral reserves, after considering applicable modifying factors. The initial targets are within and below the current Cariboo Gold deposit.

Tintic Project – Utah, U.S.A. (100%-owned)

  • Small-Scale Heap Leach Project and Selective Mining. In the quarter, the Company continued small-scale heap leaching and direct shipping of mineralized material which generated sales of 270 ounces of gold. Test mining continued in Q1 2026, with approximately 2,000 tonnes of higher-grade mineralized material stockpiled for direct shipping to a purchaser. Test mining is anticipated to continue in Q2 2026.
  • While management continues to evaluate options for the next steps at the Tintic Project, it is expected that limited activities beyond care and maintenance may occur on the Tintic Project from time to time, including any additional direct shipping of mineralized material from the Trixie test mine.
