Silver Production

Attributable silver production for 2025 was 22.84 million ounces compared with 21.06 million ounces reported in 2024. The year-over-year increase primarily reflected production increases of: (i) 2.49 million ounces from the acquisition of a 44% interest in Juanicipio; and (ii) 1.14 million ounces at La Colorada owing to higher throughput, reflecting a significant improvement in ventilation. These increases were partially offset by: (i) a 0.76 million ounce reduction at Dolores reflecting residual heap leaching production following the planned cessation of ore stacking in January 2025; (ii) a 0.46 million ounce and 0.18 million ounce decrease at Cerro Moro and San Vicente, respectively, primarily reflective of mine sequencing into lower silver grade ore zones; (iii) a 0.22 million ounce decrease at Minera Florida attributed to mine sequencing into lower grade material from outside of the mineral reserves; and (iv) a 0.18 million ounce decrease at Huaron due to lower silver grades from a higher proportion of development ore relative to stope ore.

Gold Production

Attributable gold production for 2025 was 742.2 thousand ounces compared with 892.5 thousand ounces in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by: (i) a 77.4 thousand ounce decrease related to the divestment of La Arena; (ii) a 34.7 thousand ounce and 11.7 thousand ounce reduction at Dolores and Minera Florida, respectively, due to the same factors that affected silver production; (iii) a 20.1 thousand ounce decrease at Timmins reflecting lower mine production from equipment and stope availability, as well as lower grades resulting from higher ore dilution;

and (iv) a 11.6 thousand ounce reduction at El Peñon from lower grades due to dilution from overbreak and mine sequencing.

Base Metal Production

Attributable zinc, lead and copper production in 2025 were 55.9 thousand tonnes, 27.0 thousand tonnes, and 3.0 thousand tonnes, respectively. Attributable zinc and lead production increased 10.8 thousand tonnes and 6.2 thousand tonnes, respectively, compared to 2024, primarily due to the acquisition of Juanicipio and mine sequencing into zinc-and lead-rich ore at Huaron, which drove higher throughput and zinc grades. Conversely, Attributable copper production decreased 2.2 thousand tonnes relative to 2024, primarily due to lower grades at Huaron from mine sequencing.

AISC

Silver Segment AISC excluding NRV inventory adjustments for 2025 of $13.88 per ounce were $5.10 per ounce lower than in 2024. The year-over-year decrease was predominately due to: (i) Cerro Moro, reflecting higher gold by-product credits from a higher ratio of gold to silver ounces produced and sold at higher prices; (ii) the contribution of low-AISC ounces from the acquisition of Juanicipio; and (iii) La Colorada, primarily from the improvement in ventilation relative to 2024, resulting in lower mining costs per ounce, as well as lower sustaining capital investments. These factors decreasing AISC were partially offset by: (i) Huaron due to the revised mine plan, which resulted in higher mining costs and capitalized development, and lower silver grades, additional costs to operate the new filtration plant and filter-stack tailings storage facility and higher sustaining capital investments; and (ii) San Vicente, largely due to higher production costs from diesel, contractors and wage-related cost pressures, higher royalty expenses and the cost impact of mining lower grade ores.

Gold Segment AISC excluding NRV inventory adjustments for 2025 of $1,621 per ounce were $121 per ounce higher than in 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely driven by: (i) Minera Florida, reflective of higher production costs per ounce due to the cost impact of mining lower grade ore, in addition to increased production costs from ground support requirements, stope distances, tailing treatment consumables and ore purchases; (ii) Timmins, from the cost impacts of mining lower grade ore and decreased productivity, higher labour, material and power costs, increased royalties reflective of higher gold prices and higher sustaining capital expenditures per ounce; and (iii) Shahuindo, due to higher production costs from a higher waste-to-ore strip ratio, higher labour, contractor, maintenance and community relations costs, and increased expensed costs related to heap inventory movements. These factors increasing AISC were partially offset by: (i) El Peñon, largely resulting from increased silver by-product credits from a higher ratio of silver to gold produced and sold at higher prices; (ii) Dolores, as mining activities ceased in July 2024 with costs in 2025 reflecting residual leaching activities that led to lower operating costs per ounce; and (iii) La Arena, as the relatively higher cost mine was divested in December 2024.

Silver Segment Operations

La Colorada

At the La Colorada mine, 2025 silver production of 6.02 million ounces was 23% higher than in 2024, primarily reflecting improved mine ventilation conditions. The improved ventilation conditions allowed mine rehabilitation and development rates to accelerate, increasing the number of production areas, particularly in the higher grade east part of the mine, which led to higher throughput. Zinc and lead production in 2025 were 5% higher and 8% lower, respectively, than in 2024. Zinc production increased relative to 2024, as higher throughput more than offset lower grades from mine sequencing away from higher grade base metal ore zones and from the processing of silver and gold oxide ore material, while lead production decreased as the impact from lower grades offset the increased throughput. During 2025, AISC excluding NRV inventory adjustments of $24.85 per ounce were $0.97 per ounce lower than in 2024, reflecting ventilation improvements that drove higher mine productivity and resulted in lower mining cost per ounce, as well as lower sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital was lower in 2025 than in 2024 from decreased investments in near-mine exploration and mine equipment replacements and refurbishments, partially offset by increased investments in tailing storage facility expansions. These factors decreasing AISC were partially offset by a $4.30 per ounce increase in royalties largely related to

payments to an adjacent concession owner for undertaking mining activities on their concession pursuant to the terms of an agreement whereby the concession owner received payments based on a percentage of net profits generated from the minerals produced from the concession. In 2025, 29% of contained silver ounces mined came from the third-party concession.

Juanicipio

Following the completion of the MAG Acquisition in September 2025, at Juanicipio, Attributable silver production was 2.49 million ounces, Attributable gold production was 6.7 thousand ounces, Attributable zinc production was 5.7 thousand tonnes and Attributable lead production was 3.6 thousand tonnes for the period from acquisition to December 31, 2025. AISC for this period were negative $3.18 per ounce. Sustaining capital investments totaled $9.2 million on an Attributable basis since acquisition, primarily on capitalized development, mining equipment refurbishments, tailings storage facility expansions and site infrastructure improvements.

Cerro Moro

At the Cerro Moro mine, 2025 silver production of 2.51 million ounces was 15% lower than in 2024, while gold production of 83.1 thousand ounces was 7% higher. The decrease in silver production was primarily driven by mine sequencing into lower grade zones and higher than expected dilution in some isolated areas, which more than offset higher throughput. In contrast, gold production increased due to planned mine sequencing into higher gold grade ore zones, as well as higher throughput. During 2025, AISC were negative $14.04 per ounce, which was $28.17 lower than in 2024, primarily reflecting higher gold by-product credits resulting from a higher ratio of gold to silver produced and sold, as well as higher gold prices. This was partially offset by higher production costs related to labour expenses, reflecting inflation outpacing devaluation, and higher community payments, as well as higher sustaining capital expenditures, primarily related the expansion of the tailings storage facility.

Huaron

At the Huaron mine, 2025 silver production of 3.33 million ounces was 5% lower than in 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by lower silver grades resulting from a higher proportion of development ore mined relative to stope ore mined, reflecting a change in the mine plan during the first quarter of 2025 ("Q1 2025") aimed at establishing a higher inventory of developed stopes. The higher proportion of mill feed from development versus stoping ore reduced the head grades due to the additional width (dilution) that is mined in development to allow for equipment access. The decrease in silver production from lower grades was partially offset by higher throughput from the accelerated development rates, with the most significant impact on silver production in the second half of 2025 ("H2 2025"). Zinc and lead production in 2025 increased 23% and 21%, respectively, while copper production decreased 62% due to mine sequencing away from copper ore zones and into zinc and lead ore zones, as well as from the contribution of higher throughput, as described above. During 2025, AISC of $21.55 per ounce were $6.92 per ounce higher relative to 2024. The year-over-year increase was primarily driven by higher mining costs and capitalized development related to the revised mine plan resulting in higher throughput at lower silver grades as described above. AISC was further impacted by the additional operating costs associated with the new filtration plant and filter-stack tailings storage facility, as well as higher sustaining capital investments for mine equipment replacements, filtered tailings stack expansions and concentrator plant upgrades. These cost increases were partially offset by lower treatment and refining charges resulting from favorable commercial concentrate terms.

San Vicente

At the San Vicente mine in 2025, Attributable silver production of 2.93 million ounces decreased 6% and Attributable zinc production decreased 5%, while Attributable copper and lead production increased 28% and 8%, respectively, compared with 2024. The year-over-year changes in production primarily reflected mine sequencing into lower silver and zinc grade ore zones and into higher copper and lead grade ore zones. 2025 AISC of $21.77 per ounce were $3.39 per ounce higher than in 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely driven by higher diesel prices, contractor usage and rates, and increased wage-related cost pressures, as well as the impact of mining lower grade ores. In addition, AISC were impacted by higher royalties, reflective of higher metal prices.

These increases were partially offset by higher zinc by-product credits from a drawdown of zinc inventories, lower treatment and refining charges attributable to favorable commercial terms, and decreased sustaining capital investments primarily for mine equipment.

Gold Segment Operations

Jacobina

At the Jacobina mine, gold production of 190.5 thousand ounces in 2025 was 3% lower than in 2024, as planned mine sequencing into lower gold grade ores was partially offset by higher throughput. In 2025, AISC of $1,306 per ounce were $76 per ounce higher than in 2024, largely reflecting higher production costs per ounce driven by increased hauling costs reflecting an expansion of the truck fleet, longer hauling distances and updated contract terms, as well as higher costs for maintenance. These increases were partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures resulting from decreased investments in mine equipment replacements and lease payments and sustaining near-mine exploration, partially offset by higher investments for tailings storage facility expansions and ventilation infrastructure.

El Peñon

At the El Peñon mine, gold production of 115.2 thousand ounces was 9% lower than in 2024, while silver production of 3.91 million ounces was comparable to the prior year. Both gold and silver production were impacted by higher dilution from overbreak and localized resource model performance shortfalls, which were addressed in the mineral reserve and mineral resource update as at June 30, 2025. Gold production was further impacted by unplanned mine sequencing into lower gold grade ore zones. These factors reducing production were offset by higher tonnes processed from additional ore mined, and as a result, reduced throughput from low-grade stockpile material. In addition, silver production benefitted from higher recoveries relative to the prior year, reflecting leach tank upgrades and increased cyanide concentration. 2025 AISC of $1,104 per ounce were $140 per ounce lower than in 2024, primarily due to higher by-product credits, driven by increased silver prices and a higher ratio of silver to gold produced and sold. This was partially offset by higher production costs per ounce related to the impact of mining lower grade ores and increased labour, maintenance and contractor expenditures associated with an increase in ore mined and ground support requirements. Additionally, 2025 AISC were impacted by higher sustaining capital investments for mine equipment replacements and raise bore developments.

Timmins

At the Timmins mines, gold production of 103.6 thousand ounces was 16% lower than in 2024. The decrease in gold production was driven by lower throughput from reduced equipment availability at Timmins West, stope availability delays at Bell Creek resulting from additional development and rehabilitation requirements associated with challenging ground conditions, and extreme weather events that temporarily restricted site access in Q1 2025. Gold grades were also lower due to higher ore dilution and mine sequence changes into lower grade zones caused by delays for rehabilitation and to clean drill holes prior to blasting. 2025 AISC of $2,443 per ounce were $420 per ounce higher than in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher production costs per ounce resulting from the impact of mining lower grade ores, lower throughput from lower mine productivity also impacting gold production and unit costs, higher labour and material costs, the start of the new paste backfill plant at Bell Creek and higher power consumption. Additionally, AISC were impacted by higher royalties from higher gold prices, as well as higher sustaining capital expenditures per ounce.

Shahuindo

At the Shahuindo mine, 2025 gold production of 132.2 thousand ounces was comparable with 2024, reflecting lower tonnes stacked in H2 2025, primarily from a 15-day workers’ strike during the fourth quarter of 2025 ("Q4 2025"), which was largely offset by higher gold grades from positive mine grade reconciliations and a higher ratio of ounces recovered to ounces stacked. During 2025, AISC were $1,614 per ounce, which was $244 per ounce higher compared to 2024. The year-over-year increase was largely driven by: higher production costs from a higher waste-to-ore strip ratio, which resulted in increased contractor costs; higher labour expenses related to employee profit sharing; increased maintenance and community relations expenditures; and increased expensed

costs from heap inventory movements due to weighted average inventory accounting. In addition, AISC were further impacted by increased sustaining capital investments related to leach pad and waste dump expansion projects.

Minera Florida

At the Minera Florida mine, 2025 gold production of 68.6 thousand ounces and silver production of 0.42 million ounces were 15% and 35% lower than in 2024, respectively. The decreases in gold and silver production were primarily driven by mine sequencing into new lower grade material from outside of the mineral reserves. Updating the sequence and development design to take advantage of out of reserve new material such as vein extensions is typical at Minera Florida, however this new material was lower grade than in prior years. 2025 AISC excluding NRV inventory adjustments of $2,537 per ounce were $697 per ounce higher than in 2024, primarily due to: higher production costs per ounce resulting from the impact of lower mine grades, higher costs associated with increased ground support requirements and increased distance between active stopes, increased costs for third party purchased ore driven by higher metal prices, and higher consumable requirements for tailings treatment. AISC were further impacted by higher sustaining capital expenditures related to near-mine exploration, raise bore developments, and mine equipment replacements and lease payments. These increases were partially offset by higher by-product credits from increased metal prices.

Dolores

At the Dolores mine, 2025 gold production of 37.6 thousand ounces and silver production of 0.97 million ounces were 48% and 44% lower than in 2024, respectively. The decrease was largely driven by the cessation of mining activities in July 2024 and the completion of stacking in January 2025, as the mine entered its residual leaching phase. In addition, heavy rainfall during H2 2025 diluted the leach pad solution, requiring additional time to dissipate and impacting both silver and gold production. 2025 AISC excluding NRV inventory adjustments of $1,012 per ounce were $505 per ounce lower than in 2024, largely due to lower direct operating costs per ounce, as the mine entered the residual leaching phase, and from higher by-product credits per ounce from higher metal prices.
