Tariffs considerations

The Company expects that the international trade disputes triggered by the introduction of import tariffs by the United States in 2025 and the subsequent retaliatory measures by other countries will remain fluid in 2026. At this time, the Company believes its revenue structure will be largely unaffected by the tariffs as its gold production is mostly refined in Canada, Australia or Europe. The Company continues to review its exposure to the tariffs and trade disputes and its alternatives to inputs sourced from suppliers that are or may become subject to the tariffs or other trade disputes. However, approximately 65% of the Company’s cost structure relates to labour, contractors, energy and royalties, which are not expected to be directly affected by any of the tariffs or trade disputes. While there is uncertainty as to whether further tariffs or retaliatory measures will be implemented, the quantum of such tariffs, the nature of such measures, the goods on which they may be applied and the ultimate effect of tariffs or other trade disputes on the Company’s supply chains, the Company continues to monitor developments and may take steps to limit the effect of any tariffs or trade disputes on it as may be appropriate in the circumstances. The costs guidance provided in this news release assumes there will be no impact from such tariffs, retaliatory measures or trade disputes.
