PROJECT DEVELOPMENT UPDATE
At the La Colorada mine, project capital of $13 million for 2025, was directed largely to the current vein mining operation for exploration and mine equipment leases to access, mine, and expanding mineral resource extensions in the eastern and southeastern higher-grade Candelaria zone.
With respect to the La Colorada Skarn, project capital of $22 million for 2025, was largely for exploration and in-fill drilling and advancing engineering work. The discovery of multiple high-grade silver zones and the subsequent mineral resource and mineral reserve expansion (see the news releases dated September 8 and 11, 2025) provide the opportunity to integrate the mine plans and infrastructure of the vein mine and the Skarn project. The Company is now evaluating a potential phased approach to developing the La Colorada mine and Skarn project with the aim of maximizing the overall value of the deposit. A phased approach would allow the Company to focus on a higher grade, lower tonnage and less capital intensive initial stage with the option to be followed by a later expansion to target lower grade material. The advantage of this approach is to provide greater optionality on the development of the substantial mineral resource identified to date on the deposit, while also targeting higher grades first and optimizing vein mining activities in parallel to the development of the Skarn. The Company anticipates that it will release an updated technical report in the second quarter of 2026 to include a preliminary economic assessment of the new development approach for the Skarn project. In parallel, the Company continues to discuss a potential partnership for development of the project, including the proposed change in development plan.
At the Cerro Moro mine, project capital of $3 million for 2025, was primarily directed toward exploration initiatives aimed at extending the mine's operational life.

Management Discussion and Analysis
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024(tabular amounts are in millions of U.S. dollars and thousands of shares, options,and warrants except per share amounts and per ounce amounts, unless otherwise noted)
At the Huaron mine, project capital of $9 million for 2025, was related to residual accounts payable settlements and equipment lease payments for the construction of the dry-stack tailings storage facility. The facility was completed in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is fully commissioned and operating.
At the Jacobina mine, project capital of $37 million for 2025, was directed toward strengthening operational reliability and advancing long-term growth initiatives. Key investments included: the completion of new screens and metal extractors to enhance plant safety and availability; electromechanical works for advancing installation of two new CIP tanks, which are scheduled for completion by the second quarter of 2026; improvements to the tailings pump system; engineering for the main substation and electrical house with construction planned to commence in 2026; and exploration and in-fill drilling activities directed towards expanding the reserve and resource base. In parallel, significant progress was made on mine and plant optimization studies, including the evaluations of enhanced technologies and development of a filtered tailings plant and stack. The mine is advancing studies on paste backfill to potentially allow for the recovery of future pillars that would otherwise be left in the northern higher-grade sections of the underground mines. Additionally, underground development rates have accelerated to support the mine optimization.
At the Timmins mines, project capital of $10 million for 2025, was related to underground development advances to provide access for exploration activities at satellite deposits, as well as construction of Phase 6 of the tailings storage facility extension.
At Escobal, the Guatemalan Ministry of Energy and Mines ("MEM") continued to hold meetings during Q4 2025 to advance the ILO 169 consultation process. In December 2025, the MEM published an update on their website on the progress made over the October 2024 to November 2025 period and reiterated their commitment to completing the consultation process (https://mem.gob.gt/derecho-minero-escobal). In addition, during Q4 2025, the MEM conducted an inspection of the Escobal mine and confirmed that the activities are in full compliance with the Constitutional Court order and suspension of activities. There is no timeline or date for the conclusion of the ILO 169 consultation process and no date for the restart of the Escobal mine.
