  • Infill Drilling Program. The ongoing 13,000-metre infill drill program within the Lowhee Zone is being undertaken as part of the Appian 2025 Financing Facility obligations, from existing underground development infrastructure.
    • The infill program is expected to provide a comprehensive data set that will inform resource modeling, mine planning and production stope design procedures and parameters. It will also support the development of a systematic approach to infill drilling for the underground mining operation.
    • In 2025, a total of 5,983 metres of drilling was released, representing ~44% of the planned program. To date, 11,025 metres of drilling have been released, representing ~80% of the planned program, with 96% of the total planned drilling completed. Assay results and associated quality assurance and quality control reviews are pending for unreleased holes. The Company anticipates completing the 13,000-metre infill drill 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 stages of commissioning and the facility is anticipated to be fully operational in the second quarter of 2026.
    • Underground development: To date, approximately 2.1 kilometres 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.
    • Surface infrastructure: Construction of the waste rock storage facility, the sediment control pond, early works in the mine site complex (“MSC”) area and other critical infrastructure continues.
    • Camp upgrade: The upgrade and expansion of the site camp to 266 rooms is complete and is expected to provide accommodation capacity aligned with peak construction manpower requirements for the project.
  • Exploration & Conversion Drilling Programs. In the quarter, the Company commenced a multi-faceted exploration drilling campaign across the Cariboo Gold Project and regional targets. Together with planned infill conversion drilling, up to 20 drill rigs are expected to be active at times throughout 2026, as the various programs overlap and advance, for a combined total of approximately 160,000 metres of planned drilling across all targets.
    • A total of six drill rigs are currently operating on two surface exploration programs, including three surface drill rigs targeting exploration below the current extent of the Cariboo Gold deposit to depths of up to 1,000 metres.
    • To date, approximately 6,000 metres of drilling have been completed, with assays pending. A second surface exploration program on the adjacent Proserpine regional target has also commenced and ramped up to three drill rigs, with approximately 1,500 metres completed to date.
    • Infill and conversion drilling is planned for 2026 to upgrade inferred resources to higher level confidence resource categories with potential to be converted into mineral reserves. The initial targets are within and below the current Cariboo Gold deposit.

  • Small-Scale Heap Leach Project and Selective Mining. In the quarter, the Company continued small-scale heap leaching of certain tailings and stockpiled material, generating sales of 1,992 ounces of gold. In addition, small-scale selective mining activities in the quarter resulted in the sale of 1,978 ounces of gold.
    • In total, these activities resulted in the sale of 6,240 gold ounces in 2025 from the cumulative processing of 22,668 metric tonnes at an average grade of 11.17 grams per tonne gold and average recoveries of approximately 80%, generating revenue of $35.5 million ($4.6 million in 2024) and cost of sales of $13.9 million ($4.8 million in 2024).
  • 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.
