Perpetua Resources Corp.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
In thousands of U.S. Dollars, except for shares and per share amounts
**1.**Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Perpetua Resources Corp. (the “Corporation”, and, together with its Subsidiaries, the “Company”, “Perpetua Resources” or “Perpetua”) was incorporated on February 22, 2011 under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia). The Corporation was organized to hold shares in wholly owned subsidiaries that locate, acquire, develop and restore mineral properties located principally in the Stibnite – Yellow Pine mining district in Valley County, Idaho, USA (the “Stibnite Mining District”). The Corporation’s principal asset is 100% ownership in subsidiaries that control the Stibnite Gold Project (the “Project”). The Company currently operates inone segment, which is mineral exploration and development in the United States.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Perpetua Resources Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Perpetua Resources Idaho, Inc. and Idaho Gold Resource Company, LLC. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses have been eliminated. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required of annual consolidated financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with our annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to be consistent with current period presentation.
In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be indicative of results expected for the full year ending December 31, 2026. Management estimates that the Company’s 2026 effective tax rate will be 0% due to the Company’s cumulative loss position, historical net operating losses (“NOLs”), and other available evidence related to the Company’s ability to generate taxable income. Accordingly, there isno income tax provision or benefit for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
The Company’s long-term plan is to generate future profitable operations through the development of the Stibnite Gold Project, which will require additional financing. The Company does not intend to commence full construction on the Project until full financing is in place for construction of the Project. While the Company expects to complete documentation and satisfy the conditions to initial funding of such financing during 2026, if such financing is delayed, the Company has flexibility to defer or delay such expenses until financing is in place. The full financing is expected to include project financing from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“U.S. EXIM”) or other sources as well as proceeds from the Company’s 2025 equity offerings.
On May 21, 2026, the board of U.S. EXIM unanimously approved a $2.9 billion senior secured long-term loan (“U.S. EXIM Loan”) under the Make More in America Initiative (“MMIA”) to support the development of the Company’s Stibnite Gold Project. The U.S. EXIM Loan will be available upon completion of definitive documentation and satisfaction of customary conditions precedent, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2026. There can be no assurance the terms or amount of such loan will be the same as those approved by the board of U.S. EXIM or that the loan will be sufficient for us to construct the Project. Perpetua continues to work with U.S. EXIM to advance through completion of U.S. EXIM’s due diligence and documentation processes. The final amount and timing of such funding from U.S. EXIM, if any, is uncertain and subject to conditions outside the Company’s control.
We believe our project financing plans will be successful, although there can be no assurance that the Company will successfully complete all of its contemplated plans because these plans are not entirely within our control as of the date hereof. As such, Perpetua remains open to strategic funding opportunities that support Perpetua’s overall financing and development goals for the Project, which may include the issuance of additional equity, new debt, or project specific debt; government funding; offtake, royalty or streaming arrangements; and/or other financing or strategic opportunities. The future receipt of potential funding from these and/or other means cannot be considered certain at this time. In the event funding for the Project is not available in the amounts or at the times anticipated, the Company may defer certain activities to ensure available cash resources are sufficient to satisfy the Company anticipated expenses until such full project financing is in place.
Loss per share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted loss per share is computed similar to basic loss per share except that the weighted average shares outstanding are increased to include additional shares for the assumed exercise of share purchase options and vesting and distribution of awarded share units, if dilutive. The Company’s potential dilutive common shares include outstanding share purchase options, restricted share units (“RSUs”), performance share units (“PSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”) and share purchase warrants. Potentially dilutive shares as of June 30, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | June 30, | | June 30, |
| | | 2026 | | 2025 |
| Share purchase options | | — | | 393,500 |
| Share units (RSU, PSU, DSU) | | 1,084,201 | | 1,649,616 |
| Share purchase warrants | | 4,823,408 | | — |
| Total | 5,907,609 | | 2,043,116 |
All potentially dilutive shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share as their exercise and conversion would be anti-dilutive.
**2.**Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure about the types of costs and expenses included in certain expense captions presented on the income statement. The new disclosure requirements are effective for the Company’s annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this adoption on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the FASB that are adopted by the Company as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards did not or will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
**3.**Mineral Properties and Interest
The Company’s subsidiaries acquired mineral rights to the Stibnite Gold Project through several transactions. All mineral and surface rights, where applicable, are held by the Company’s subsidiaries through patented and unpatented lode mining claims and mill sites, except for the 27 patented lode claims totaling approximately 485 acres which are held under an option to purchase. All of the Stibnite Gold Project is subject to a 1.7% Net Smelter Returns (“NSR”) royalty upon the sale of project-related gold production and 100% on NSR royalty on the future payable silver production.
The Company’s obligations under the gold and silver royalty agreements with a wholly owned subsidiary of Franco Nevada Corporation (such subsidiary, “FNIC”) are secured by a continuing security interest and a first priority lien on certain collateral including the land and mineral interests comprising the Project.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined the Project’s mining deposits had not yet met the criteria for capitalization. Development costs incurred after such determination will be capitalized. Upon commencement of commercial production, capitalized costs will be amortized over their estimated useful lives or units of production, whichever is a more reliable measure.
At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s mineral properties and interest at the Stibnite Gold Project totaled $68.5 million and $67.7 million, respectively. Included in mineral properties and interest are annual payments made under option agreements, whereby the Company is entitled to continue to make option payments annually or, ultimately, purchase certain properties.

On March 8, 2021, the Corporation adopted the Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) to provide the Corporation with share-related mechanisms to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries, to reward such of those directors, employees and consultants as may be granted awards under the plan by the Board from time to time for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the Corporation and to enable and encourage such directors, employees and consultants to acquire shares as long-term investments and proprietary interests in the Corporation. The 2021 Plan was approved by the Corporation’s shareholders on April 16, 2021. On May 16, 2024, the Corporation’s shareholders approved an amendment to the 2021 Plan to increase the aggregate number of common shares available for the grant of awards under the 2021 Plan.
On April 16, 2026, the Board approved an amendment and restatement of the 2021 Plan, to be renamed the 2026 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2026 Plan”), subject to shareholder approval. On June 4, 2026, the Corporation’s shareholders approved the 2026 Plan and the 2026 Plan became effective on that date. Awards previously granted under the 2021 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms and the terms of the 2021 Plan and applicable award agreements; however, no new awards may be granted under the 2021 Plan after the effective date of the 2026 Plan.
The 2026 Plan allows for awards in the following forms: share purchase option, share appreciation right, restricted share, restricted share unit, performance share, performance share unit or other share-based award, in each case with or without dividend equivalent rights. Under the terms of the 2026 Plan, as amended, the aggregate maximum number of shares that may be issued pursuant to awards granted under the 2026 Plan cannot exceed 8,280,530 shares. To the extent any award outstanding under the 2026 Plan, including awards previously granted under the 2021 Plan, expires or is terminated or cancelled without having been exercised or settled in full, or any shares acquired pursuant to an award subject to forfeiture or repurchase are forfeited or repurchased by the Corporation, the shares allocable to the terminated portion of such award or such forfeited or repurchased shares will again become available for grant under the 2026 Plan, subject to the terms of the 2026 Plan. Shares delivered under the 2026 Plan can be: 1) authorized but unissued shares, 2) treasury shares, or 3) shares purchased on the open market or by private purchase.
Pursuant to the terms of the 2026 Plan, awards are generally subject to a minimumone-year vesting requirement, except for awards covering up to 5% of the share reserve and awards settled in cash. No non-employee director may receive an aggregate grant of awards under the 2026 Plan in any calendar year having a grant date fair value in excess of $250,000. Unvested awards will generally be forfeited by participants upon termination of employment or service in advance of vesting, except as otherwise provided in the 2026 Plan, the applicable award agreement or an applicable employment or other agreement. The 2026 Plan also provides for double-trigger vesting in connection with a change in control, such that if the successor corporation assumes the outstanding awards upon a change in control, vesting of the assumed awards will fully accelerate, with performance awards vesting at target levels only, if the participant’s employment or service is terminated by the successor without cause during the 24-month period following the date of the change in control. If the successor fails to assume outstanding awards, the vesting of such awards will become fully accelerated. Certain executives of the Company are also party to employment agreements which provide for vesting of unvested awards upon specified termination events.

| Cancelled | | (69,236) | | | 10.78 |
| Unvested, June 30, 2026 | | 394,262 | | $21.21 | |
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized $0.5 million (June 30, 2025: $0.1 million) and $0.5 million (June 30, 2025: $0.7 million) respectively, in compensation expense related to PSUs and MPSUs and expects to record an additional $6.3 million in compensation expense over a weighted average remaining vesting period of 2.5 years.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the fair value of PSUs distributed was $12.8 million (June 30, 2025: $1.6 million) and $12.8 million (June 30, 2025: $5.8 million), respectively.
The PSUs and MPSUs are expected to vest as follows:
| | | |
|---|---|---|
| Remainder of 2026 | | 58,500 |
| 2027 | 107,191 | |
| 2028 | 98,626 | |
| 2029 | | 129,945 |
| Total | 394,262 |
PSUs: The PSUs vest upon completion of the performance period and specific performance conditions set forth for each individual grant for individually defined reporting and operating measurement objectives. The Company determines the factor to be applied to that target number of PSUs, with such percentage based on level of achievement of the performance conditions. Upon the achievement of the conditions, any unvested PSUs become fully vested.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, the Company awardedno PSUs.
Market-based PSUs: During the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the Company granted MPSUs where vesting is based on the Company’s cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the constituents that comprise the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (“GDXJ Index”) a group of similar junior gold mining companies, over athree-year period (the “Performance Period”). The ultimate number of MPSUs that vest may range from 0% to 200% of the original target number of shares depending on the relative achievement of the TSR performance measure at the end of the Performance Period. Because the number of MPSUs that are earned will be based on the Company’s TSR over the Performance Period, the MPSUs are considered subject to a market condition. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the Performance Period regardless as to whether the market condition is actually satisfied; however, the compensation cost will reverse if an employee terminates prior to satisfying the requisite service period.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company awarded 123,852 MPSUs (2025:176,481 MPSUs) that had a weighted grant date fair value of $50.70 (2025: $12.53) per MPSU or approximately $6.3 million (2025: $2.2 million) in total. The grant date fair value of MPSUs was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Assumptions and estimates utilized in the model include expected volatilities of the Corporation’s share price and the GDXJ Index, the Company’s risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. The probabilities of the actual number of MPSUs expected to vest and resultant actual number of common shares expected to be awarded are reflected in the grant date fair values of the various MPSU awards. The per MPSU grant date fair value for the market condition was based on the following variables:
| | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| · · 2026 · · 2025 · | |||||||
| Grant date fair value | | $50.70 | | $12.53 | | ||
| Risk-free interest rate | | | 3.52% | | 4.15% | ||
| Expected term (in years) | | | 3.0 | | 3.0 | | |
| Expected share price volatility | | | 58.55% | | 55.16% | ||
| Expected dividend yield | | | Nil | | Nil | | |
The expected volatility utilized is based on the historical volatilities of the Corporation’s common shares and the GDXJ Index in order to model the stock price movements. The volatility used was calculated over the most recent three-year period. The risk-free interest rates used are based on the implied yield available on a U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bill with a term equivalent to the Performance Period. The expected dividend yield ofzero was used since it is the mathematical equivalent to reinvesting dividends in each issuing entity over the Performance Period.

There wereno changes in Foundation payments or commitments during the three or six months ended June 30, 2026.
| g. | Legal Update |
The Corporation and its subsidiaries have been parties to an ongoing legal proceeding with the Nez Perce Tribe for claimed violations of the CWA allegedly linked to historical mining activities. In August 2019, the Nez Perce Tribe filed suit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho (the “District Court”). The Company filed an answer generally denying liability and later, the court allowed the Company to amend and file a third-party complaint against the USFS. The Company also filed a separate CWA citizen suit against the USFS alleging that several of the point source discharges, as alleged by the Nez Perce Tribe in its complaint, were occurring on lands owned and controlled by the United States government. Pursuant to the terms of the voluntary ASAOC executed in January 2021 with the EPA and the USDA under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), the Company agreed to dismiss its pending actions against the USFS without prejudice.
On August 8, 2023, the Company and the Nez Perce Tribe filed a final Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) to resolve the Tribe’s CWA claims. The parties jointly asked the court to approve the Settlement Agreement and dismiss the case without prejudice. The Settlement Agreement provides for total payments of $5.0 million by Perpetua over afour-year period. This includes $4.0 million of contributions by Perpetua to the Fund to be used by the Nez Perce Tribe to support water quality improvement projects in the South Fork Salmon River watershed and $1.0 million of reimbursements to the Nez Perce Tribe for legal expenses. Following a 45-day review period by the United States Justice Department and the U.S. EPA, the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho approved the Stipulation for Dismissal and entered a Judgment on October 2, 2023, which resulted in the CWA lawsuit being dismissed without prejudice. Under the Settlement Agreement, the Company anticipates that a dismissal with prejudice will be entered after completion of Perpetua’s required payments. Once Perpetua has satisfied its payment obligations under the Settlement Agreement, the Company anticipates that the parties will submit a stipulation for dismissal with prejudice to the District Court. The Company recognized an expense of $5.0 million during the second quarter of 2023. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company paid $nil (June 30, 2025: $nil), and $nil (June 30, 2025: $nil), respectively, towards this settlement obligation. As of June 30, 2026, CWA settlement payable current portion is $1.0 million with the remaining $1.0 million classified as long-term.
The voluntary ASAOC entered into by the Company, the U.S. EPA, and the USDA required numerous early cleanup actions (referenced as “Phase 1” in the ASAOC) relating to legacy environmental conditions left by other mining companies. The Company began the Phase 1 activities in 2022. As of June 30, 2026, the Company determined it had completed all Phase 1 response actions required by the ASAOC and filed necessary reports (called Removal Action Completion Report (“RACR”) in the ASAOC) with the U.S. EPA and USDA with respect to such completion. Pursuant to the terms of the ASAOC, the Company’s Phase 1 work will not be considered complete until U.S. EPA and USDA have approved the RACR submitted by the Company. As of June 30, 2026, the RACR remains under review by the federal agencies and no further costs were accrued associated with this Phase 1 liability. The ASAOC includes a process under which the Company and the signatory federal agencies will evaluate whether the Company will proceed with additional response actions after federal agencies confirm that the Phase 1 work has been completed in accordance with the ASAOC requirements. The scope of any such potential additional actions following the completion of Phase 1 and their costs have not yet been determined.
Following the USFS’ publication of the ROD and Final Environmental Impact Statement Errata (the “FEIS”) approving the mine plan for the Project, a lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the USFS, USDA and other federal agencies on February 18, 2025, by a number of environmental advocacy groups, including Save the South Fork Salmon, the Idaho Conservation League and other non-governmental organizations, alleging violations of NEPA and other federal laws in the regulatory process (“Federal Environmental Case”). Among other remedies, the claimants seek to vacate the ROD, Final Biological Opinions (issued by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service), and other Project approvals and to enjoin any further implementation of the Project. PRII filed a motion to intervene in this lawsuit, which was granted by the District Court on April 2, 2025.
On August 29, 2025, the Nez Perce Tribe filed a lawsuit against the USFS, United States Department of Agriculture, and other federal agencies in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho the challenging the USFS ROD and other approvals by the USFS and other federal agencies in connection with the Stibnite Gold Project and alleging violations of the NEPA and other federal statutes, regulations, rules and requirements in the regulatory review and approval process in of the Project (“Federal NPT Case”). Among other remedies, the Tribe seeks to vacate the USFS ROD and other Project approvals and to enjoin any further implementation of the Project. PRII filed a motion to intervene in this lawsuit, which was granted by the District Court on September 4, 2025.
Thesetwo federal lawsuits challenging the USFS ROD and other approvals for the Project remain pending. The scheduling order in the Federal Environmental Case required all dispositive motions and briefs to be filed by all parties before the end of January 2026. These motions and briefs have been filed. Additional proceedings in this Federal Environmental Case are discussed below in this section. The scheduling order in the Federal NPT required all dispositive motions and briefs to be filed by all parties. before the end of June 2026. These motions and briefs have been filed. The District Court has not yet scheduled any further proceedings with respect to the Federal NPT Case.
On May 8, 2026, the plaintiffs in the Federal Environmental Case filed a motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to delay certain planned construction activities for the Project. The plaintiffs’ motion expressly excluded early works construction activities that were contemplated under previously agreed stipulations between the plaintiffs and the Company. On May 29, 2026, the District Court issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction. The plaintiffs subsequently filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s order denying the preliminary injunction motion with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and also requested an emergency stay of the District Court’s order pending the appeal. The Ninth Circuit on June 17, 2026 issued an order denying the plaintiffs’ request for a stay. Under the Ninth Circuit’s order, all briefs are required to be filed by all parties by an outside date of August 20, 2026. While the appeal proceedings progressed, the District Court on June 24, 2026 heard oral argument on cross-motions for summary judgment on the merits of all the plaintiffs’ claims. All briefing relating to those motions is now complete, and the District Court is considering the summary judgment motions. No deadline for a ruling by the District Court on these motions on the merits has been set.
The Company believes that the request for a preliminary injunction in the Federal Environmental Case (and the various motions and appeal associated therewith) is without merit and intends to continue vigorously opposing them. The Company, however, cannot predict the outcome of decisions in the proceedings before the District Court and Ninth Circuit. If any of the relief requested by the plaintiffs were granted, it could delay or restrict further implementation of the Project. As to the merits of the Federal Environmental Case and the Federal NPT Case, the Company believes the USFS ROD and other federal regulatory processes challenged in these lawsuits were conducted thoroughly and completely by the relevant federal regulatory agencies. However, the District Court has not yet ruled on these lawsuits, and the Company cannot predict the outcome or timing of the Court’s ultimate decision on the merits, or in any interim proceedings, in the Federal Environmental Case or the Federal NPT Case. There can be no assurance that the Project approvals challenged in thosetwo lawsuits will be upheld upon judicial review or that the Company will be successful in defending against the challenges raised in thetwo lawsuits, including the Ninth Circuit’s review of appeal of the District Court’s order denying the plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction in the Federal Environmental Case.
The Idaho Board of Environmental Quality (“IBEQ”) published an order on May 27, 2025, upholding the air permit to construct (“PTC”) issued by the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (“IDEQ”) in June 2022 and denying certain petitioners’ appeal from various administrative proceedings with respect to the PTC. The IBEQ on June 27, 2025, denied the petitioners’ motion for reconsideration. Subsequently, the petitioners filed a petition for judicial review in the Idaho state district court for the County of Ada against the IBEQ and IDEQ seeking to set aside the PTC as violative of applicable law and challenging the decisions of the IBEQ upholding the PTC. On July 7, 2026, the court entered an order denying the petitioner’s claims and upholding the PTC in all respects. The petitioners have until August 18, 2026 to file an appeal of the state district court’s decision to the Idaho Supreme Court. The Company believes that the IDEQ and the IBEQ properly followed Idaho law in issuing the PTC and that the state district court properly rejected the petitioners’ claims in their lawsuit. However, there can be no assurance that the PTC or the district court’s decision will be upheld upon further judicial review if the petitioners were to file an appeal with the Idaho Supreme Court.
On March 20, 2025, a putative federal class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho against the Company and certain of its officers and directors, on behalf of a proposed class of purchasers of the Company’s common shares during the period from April 17, 2024 to February 13, 2025, inclusive. The lawsuit, captionedBarnes et al. v. Perpetua Resources Corp. et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-00160, alleges that the defendants violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by making false and/or misleading statements during the period from April 17, 2024 to February 13, 2025 regarding the Company’s expected capital expenditures for the Stibnite Gold Project. On June 6, 2025, two new plaintiffs filed a joint stipulation seeking to be appointed co-lead plaintiffs, which was granted by the District Court on June 16, 2025. The plaintiffs filed a first amended complaint on August 15, 2025. The Company and other defendants thereafter filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint on September 30, 2025, and on June 3, 2026, the District Court issued an order granting the motion and dismissing all of the plaintiffs’ claims without prejudice, but also providing the plaintiffs with an opportunity to file an additional amended complaint. On July 24, 2026, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint against the Company and previously named officers. The time for the defendants to respond to the second amended complaint has not yet expired. The deadline for filing a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint is September 11, 2026. The Company believes that the claims asserted in the second amended complaint are without merit and intends to continue vigorously defending itself and the named officers. However, in view of the uncertainties inherent in litigation, the Company does not express a judgment as to the outcome of this litigation.
**10.**Segment Reporting
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise that engage in activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses for which separate operational financial information is available and is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”), who is our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), for the purpose of allocating an enterprise’s resources and assessing its operating performance. The Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment, focused on the exploration of its mineral interests in the state of Idaho, United States. This determination is based on the financial information reviewed by the CODM, which is assessed at a consolidated level.
The CODM is responsible for evaluating performance, allocating resources, and making strategic decisions. The primary measure used to assess the Company’s profitability is consolidated net loss, which is used to compare budgeted versus actual results and informs operating cash flow decisions on a monthly basis. The financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company’s single reportable segment align with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented herein. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheet as total assets.
The CEO primarily evaluates the Company’s performance based on consolidated net loss and reviews significant expenses, when applicable, on a consolidated basis, consistent with the presentation in the consolidated statements of operations. While the CEO’s primary focus is on overall consolidated results, he also reviews supplemental information on exploration costs by major category. The following table presents the Company’s exploration costs by major category:

**11.**Subsequent Event
On July 2, 2026 and August 5, 2026, the Company purchased various put option contracts from major national banks chartered under U.S. federal law and paid total premiums of $28.9 million for the right, but not an obligation, to sell a total of up to 158,016 ounces of gold during 2031 at an established put strike price of $3,000 per ounce. The put contracts were purchased to mitigate the Company’s exposure to fluctuations in metal prices.
