Third Quarter 2025 Operational and Financial Highlights
- Produced 141,700 ounces of gold, a
3% increase from the second quarter of 2025 reflecting stronger performances from both Mulatos and the Island Gold District. Third quarter production was slightly below the low end of quarterly guidance of 145,000 ounces, reflecting one week of unplanned downtime within the Magino mill due to a capacitor failure within the electrical house, which occurred during the last week of September - Subsequent to quarter end, a seismic event occurred underground at Island Gold on October 17th. Mining activities continue at budgeted rates; however, this has delayed access to higher grade stopes in one mining front. As a result, grades mined are expected to be lower in the fourth quarter than budgeted. Combined with the unplanned downtime at the end of September at the Magino mill, the Company is updating its 2025 production guidance to a range of 560,000 to 580,000 ounces, a
6% decrease from original guidance (based on the mid-point) - Fourth quarter production is expected to increase
18% (based on the mid-point) to between 157,000 and 177,000 ounces, the strongest quarter of the year, reflecting a substantial improvement across all three operations - Generated record free cash flow1 of
$130.3 million , while continuing to reinvest in high-return growth projects including the Phase 3+ Expansion, Lynn Lake, and PDA. This was a54% increase from the second quarter of 2025, reflecting strong contributions from all three operations. At current gold prices, the Company expects strong ongoing free cash flow generation through the remainder of 2025, with significant growth starting in 2026 reflecting higher production and lower costs - Sold 136,473 ounces of gold at an average realized price of
$3,359 per ounce, generating record quarterly revenues of$462.3 million . The average realized gold price was below the London PM Fix price, reflecting the delivery of 12,346 ounces into the gold prepayment facility executed in July 2024 based on the prepaid price of$2,524 per ounce. The Company delivered75% of the committed ounces under the facility during the first nine months of 2025 - Cash flow from operating activities increased to a record
$265.3 million (including$275.3 million before changes in working capital and taxes paid1, or$0.65 per share), a33% increase from the second quarter of 2025 reflecting strong margin expansion through higher gold prices and lower costs
- Total cash costs1 of
$973 per ounce were9% lower than the second quarter of 2025 and in-line with quarterly guidance. All-in sustaining costs ("AISC")1 of$1,375 per ounce decreased7% from the second quarter of 2025, driven by the stronger operational performance at the Mulatos District. The Company is reporting total cash costs and AISC excluding the impact of mark-to-market adjustments for the revaluation of previously issued share-based compensation. This provides a better representation of the total costs associated with producing an ounce of gold and eliminates volatility associated with mark-to-market adjustments. Prior year periods have been updated to reflect these changes retrospectively. Mark-to-market adjustments to share-based instruments impact both total cash costs and AISC given the Company allocates these costs to mining and processing costs and share-based compensation expense in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements - Total cash costs and AISC are expected to decrease
5% in the fourth quarter reflecting higher production and stronger performances from all three operations. The Company remains on track to achieve annual total cash cost and AISC guidance, which was revised in July - Cost of sales of
$194.1 million , or$1,422 per ounce, decreased4% from the second quarter of 2025 on a per-ounce basis - Reported net earnings for the quarter were
$276.3 million , or$0.66 per share - Adjusted net earnings1 were
$155.5 million , or$0.37 per share. Adjusted net earnings includes net-of-tax adjustments for a reversal of impairment of$192.9 million , and unrealized losses on commodity hedge derivatives of$53.8 million , as well as adjustments for unrealized foreign exchange loss recorded within deferred taxes and foreign exchange loss totaling$15.4 million , and other adjustments of$2.9 million - Cash and cash equivalents increased
34% from the second quarter of 2025 to$463.1 million at September 30, 2025 reflecting the record free cash flow generation. The Company remains well-positioned to internally fund all of its growth initiatives with strong ongoing free cash flow, net cash of$213.1 million , and$963.1 million of total liquidity - Announced the sale of the Company's Turkish development projects, which consist of Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt, to Tümad Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Tümad”) for total cash consideration of
$470 million . The transaction closed in October upon which Alamos received the first payment of$160 million . The remaining cash payments, totaling$310 million are expected to be received on the first and second anniversaries of the closing of the transaction - Closed the sale of the option to earn
100% interest in the non-core Quartz Mountain Gold Project (“Quartz Mountain”), located in Oregon, to Q-Gold Resources Ltd. (“Q-Gold”) in October. Quartz Mountain was sold for total consideration of up to$21 million and a9.9% equity interest in Q-Gold - With a growing cash balance of more than
$600 million following the close of the sale of the Turkish projects and Quartz Mountain, the Company expects to reduce existing debt obligations, and will assess opportunities to be active on its share buyback - The total recordable injury frequency rate2 ("TRIFR") was 0.97 in the third quarter, compared to 2.01 in the prior year period. For the first nine months of the year, TRIFR was 0.99, compared to 1.86 in the prior year period
- Alamos was recognized for the second consecutive year as a TSX30TM 2025 winner by the Toronto Stock Exchange. The annual ranking recognizes the 30 top performing stocks over a three-year period. Alamos’ share price increased
310% over the trailing three-year period - Advanced the Phase 3+ Expansion of the Island Gold District. This included the shaft sink progressing to a depth of 1,350 metres ("m") in the third quarter, or
98% of the planned depth. The Phase 3+ Expansion remains on track for completion in the second half of 2026 - Published Alamos’ 2024 Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Report, outlining the Company’s progress on its ESG performance

The Company’s objective is to operate a sustainable business model that supports growing returns to all stakeholders over the long-term, through growing production, expanding margins, and increasing profitability. This includes a balanced approach to capital allocation focused on generating strong ongoing free cash flow while re-investing in high-return internal growth opportunities, and supporting higher returns to shareholders.
Third quarter production increased
Reflecting the unplanned downtime of the Magino mill, the Island Gold mill was restarted on September 24th focused on processing the higher grade Island Gold ore. Given the higher gold price environment, the Company will continue operating the Island Gold mill through the remainder of the year, in addition to the Magino mill. This will provide increased combined milling capacity from the Island Gold District, supporting additional gold production, higher cash flow, and increased profitability. The Company will evaluate the ongoing operation of the Island Gold mill into 2026 as part of the expansion study ("Expansion Study") which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Total cash costs decreased
Subsequent to quarter end, a seismic event occurred underground at Island Gold on October 17, 2025. Mining activities continue at budgeted rates; however, this has deferred access to higher grade stopes in one mining front. This is expected to result in lower grades mined in the fourth quarter than budgeted. Combined with the unplanned downtime of the Magino mill at the end of September, the Company is updating its annual production guidance to a range of 560,000 to 580,000 ounces, a
Fourth quarter production is expected to increase
Reflecting the stronger expected production and improved performances from all three operations, total cash costs and AISC are expected to decrease
This strong trend of growing production and declining costs is expected over the next several years, driven by low-cost growth from the Company's pipeline of high-return development projects. The Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold is expected to be a significant driver of near-term production growth and further decrease in costs in 2026. The expansion continues to progress well with the shaft sink advancing to a depth of 1,350 m, or
Post completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion, production from the Island Gold District is expected to increase to average 411,000 ounces per year at mine-site AISC of
Given the impact of wildfires and evacuation orders on communities across northern Manitoba that lasted until the end of September, the ramp up of construction activities on the Lynn Lake project that had been planned for 2025 has been delayed. With the evacuation order lifted, the project team will continue returning to Lynn Lake over the coming weeks with limited construction activities to be completed ahead of and during the winter months. As a result, the more cost effective and lower risk approach is a ramp up of construction activities in the spring of 2026, with completion of the Lynn Lake project now expected in the first half of 2029, compared with the previous timeline of the second half of 2028. The Company has updated its consolidated 2025 capital guidance to between
Longer term, there is excellent potential to increase consolidated production to approximately one million ounces per year through a further expansion of the Island Gold District. The Expansion Study for the Island Gold District is scheduled to be released in the first quarter of 2026 and is expected to demonstrate the significant upside potential to the Base Case LOM Plan. The timeline of completion has shifted from the fourth quarter of 2025 to ensure all assays are included from recent delineation drilling to support further Mineral Reserve growth. The Expansion Study is expected to include a larger Mineral Reserve, through ongoing Mineral Resource conversion, and will evaluate a potential expansion of the mill to between 18,000 and 20,000 tpd, supporting higher underground mining rates from Island Gold, and open pit mining and processing rates from Magino.
The Company remains well positioned to fund its high-return growth projects internally with strong ongoing free cash flow,

Subsequent to quarter end, a seismic event occurred underground at Island Gold on October 17, 2025. Mining rates are expected to be within guided levels for the fourth quarter; however, this has delayed access to higher grade stopes within one mining front. As a result, grades mined are expected to be lower than budgeted in the fourth quarter, contributing to reduced 2025 production guidance.
In mid-July, the Island Gold mill was shut down as part of the long-term plan to transition to processing higher-grade underground ore within the larger Magino mill. The transition was successful with recoveries of the higher-grade and blended ore consistent with expectations, and milling rates continuing to increase through the quarter until the last week of September when a capacitor failure resulted in one week of unplanned downtime. Given the downtime, the decision was made to restart the Island Gold mill to both provide additional milling capacity within the Island Gold District, and capitalize on the higher gold price environment. Island Gold mill processed a total of 23,906 tonnes of underground ore in the 22 active operating days.
The operation of both the Island Gold and Magino mills will support additional gold production, higher cash flow, and increased profitability. Given the higher gold price environment, the Island Gold mill will be operated through the remainder of the year. The Company is evaluating the ongoing operation of the Island Gold mill into 2026 as part of the Expansion Study which is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2026.
Magino Operational Review
Total mining rates averaged 58,558 tpd during the third quarter, including 17,638 tpd of ore, up
Magino milling rates steadily improved subsequent to the installation of a redesigned liner and bolt configuration within the SAG mill, which was completed during the second week of July. For the full third quarter, milling rates averaged 8,443 tpd. Post liner change, and excluding the impact of the downtime at the end of September, milling rates averaged approximately 9,200 tpd for the quarter, a nearly
During the last week of September, a capacitor failure within the electrical house impacted the electrical drive for the SAG and Ball mills, resulting in one-week of unplanned downtime within the Magino mill. The capacitor and electrical drive module were replaced by the end of September following which milling rates have continued to improve, approaching 10,000 tpd for the month of October. Milling rates are expected to continue increasing further through the fourth quarter. A further review of electrical components was completed, which will supplement other critical spares that are already on site to minimize potential unplanned downtime within the Magino mill in future.
Combined grades from underground and open pit ore processed during the third quarter was 2.28 g/t Au, consistent with guidance.

Third Quarter 2025 Development Activities
Island Gold District (Ontario, Canada)
Phase 3+ Expansion
In 2022, the Company announced the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold to 2,400 tpd from the current rate of 1,200 tpd, which includes various infrastructure investments. These include the installation of a shaft, paste plant, as well as accelerated development to support the higher mining rates. Following the completion of the expansion in 2026, the operation will transition from trucking ore and waste up the ramp to skipping ore and waste to surface through the new shaft infrastructure, driving production higher and costs significantly lower.
On June 23, 2025, the Company announced the Base Case LOM Plan, which outlined average annual gold production of 411,000 ounces starting in 2026, at average mine-site AISC of
The Company is also evaluating the addition of a pebble crusher and auxiliary mill to the Magino mill to support the expansion to 12,400 tpd. This would represent a potential scope change at an additional cost of approximately
Given the unplanned downtime of the Magino mill at the end of September, and higher gold price environment, the decision was made to restart the Island Gold mill late in the third quarter. Given the higher gold price environment, the Company will continue operating the Island Gold mill through the remainder of the year, in addition to the Magino mill. This will provide higher combined milling capacity from the Island Gold District, supporting additional gold production, higher cash flow, and increased profitability. The Company will evaluate the ongoing operation of the Island Gold mill into 2026 as part of the Expansion Study.
During the third quarter of 2025, the Company spent

Lynn Lake (Manitoba, Canada)
On January 13, 2025, the Company announced a positive construction decision on the Lynn Lake project. With the approval of the Closure Plan in January 2025, the required permitting and pre-construction conditions have been met allowing for the start of construction on the Lynn Lake project. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company also signed an Impact Benefit Agreement ("IBA") with Mathias Colomb Cree Nation ("MCCN"). The Company now has IBAs in place with both of the First Nation communities proximal to the Lynn Lake project.
Construction activities at the Lynn Lake project were temporarily paused during the second quarter of 2025 due to wildfires affecting communities across northern Manitoba. Given the impact of wildfires and evacuation orders which lasted well into September, the ramp up of construction activities on the Lynn Lake project that had been planned for 2025 has been delayed. With the evacuation order lifted, the project team will continue returning to Lynn Lake over the coming weeks with limited construction activities to be completed ahead of and during the winter months. As a result, the more cost effective and lower risk approach is a ramp up of construction activities in the spring of 2026, with completion of the Lynn Lake project now expected in the first half of 2029. This represents a change from previous schedule of the second half of 2028 given the loss of the full construction season in 2025. With average annual production of 176,000 ounces over its first ten years at first quartile mine-site AISC, Lynn Lake is expected to increase consolidated production to approximately 900,000 ounces per year.
Total initial growth capital for Lynn Lake was estimated to be
Growth capital spending at Lynn Lake in 2025 is being revised to between
On February 13, 2025, the Company reported positive results of an internal economic study completed on its Burnt Timber ("BT") and Linkwood satellite deposits located in proximity to the Lynn Lake project. The 2023 Study was based only on the Gordon and MacLellan deposits which are to be mined over the first 11 years, with the processing of lower grade stockpiled ore for the remainder of the 17-year mine life. The BT and Linkwood deposits are expected to provide a source of additional mill feed to the Lynn Lake project starting in year 12, deferring the lower grade stockpiles until later in the mine plan. This is expected to extend the mine life of the combined Lynn Lake project to 27 years, increase longer term production rates, and enhance its economics as a low-capital, high-return satellite project.
The two deposits are expected to produce an average of 83,000 ounces of gold per year over a 10-year mine life. By leveraging mining equipment and planned processing infrastructure at Lynn Lake, the project is expected to be developed for low initial capital of

PDA (Sonora, Mexico)
On September 4, 2024, the Company reported the results of the development plan for the PDA project located within the Mulatos District. PDA is a higher-grade underground deposit adjacent to the Mulatos open pit and will benefit from the use of existing crushing infrastructure from Cerro Pelon, supporting lower initial capital and project execution risk.
On January 29, 2025, the Company announced it has been granted approval of an amendment to its existing environmental impact assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental) by Mexico’s Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources, allowing for the start of construction on the PDA project. Spending on PDA is expected to increase in the fourth quarter with procurement of long-lead time orders for the mill, and more significantly in 2026, with the ramp up of construction activities. Capital guidance for 2025 has been decreased by
As outlined in the 2024 development plan, PDA is expected to produce an average of 127,000 ounces per year over the first four years and 104,000 ounces over the current mine life (based on Mineral Reserves as at December 31, 2023). Total cash costs are expected to average
Reflecting the low cost structure and low initial capital, PDA is expected to be a high-return project with significant exploration upside. PDA has an estimated after-tax IRR of

Kirazlı (Çanakkale, Türkiye)
On October 14, 2019, the Company suspended all construction activities on its Kirazlı project following the Turkish government's failure to grant a routine renewal of the Company’s mining licenses, despite the Company having met all legal and regulatory requirements for their renewal. On April 20, 2021, the Company announced that the Netherlands Subsidiaries would be filing an investment treaty claim against the Republic of Türkiye for expropriation and unfair and inequitable treatment. The claim was filed under the Treaty. The Netherlands Subsidiaries had their claim against the Republic of Türkiye registered on June 7, 2021 with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (World Bank Group).
On September 14, 2025, the Company announced that the Netherlands Subsidiaries have entered into a definitive agreement to sell their wholly owned Turkish subsidiary, which owns the Kirazlı, Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt projects, to Tümad, a mining company operating in the Republic of Türkiye, for total cash consideration of
In conjunction with the Transaction, the Netherlands Subsidiaries and the Republic of Türkiye have agreed that arbitration proceedings brought by the Netherlands Subsidiaries against the Republic of Türkiye under the Treaty shall remain suspended, and will be discontinued with prejudice after certain contractual milestones are reached.

A total of
As announced on June 23, 2025, Mineral Reserves at Island Gold underground increased
Reflecting the conversion to Mineral Reserves, Inferred Mineral Resources decreased
A total of 41,500 m of underground drilling is planned in 2025 with a focus on defining new Mineral Reserves and Resources in proximity to existing production horizons and infrastructure. Additionally, 18,000 m of surface exploration drilling has been budgeted, targeting the area between the Island Gold and Magino deposits, as well as the down-plunge extension of the Island Gold deposit, below a depth of 1,500 m. The focus at Magino is on expanding mineralization to the east of the pit, which was previously constrained by the border with Island Gold prior to the acquisition.
Included within sustaining capital, 30,800 m of underground delineation drilling is planned at Island Gold, and 18,000 m of surface delineation drilling at Magino, focused on the ongoing conversion of the large Mineral Resource base to Mineral Reserves.
The regional exploration program at the Island Gold District includes 10,000 m of surface drilling to follow up on high-grade mineralization intersected at the Cline-Pick and Edwards deposits, located approximately seven km northeast of the Island Gold mine. Drilling will also be completed at the Island Gold North Shear target, and to the east and along strike from the Island Gold mine to test the extension of the E1E-Zone.
During the third quarter, 12,246 m of underground exploration drilling was completed in 49 holes, and 1,821 m of surface directional exploration drilling was completed in two holes at Island Gold. Additionally, 14,412 m of underground delineation drilling was completed in 50 holes, focused on infill drilling to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. The surface delineation program, which initially commenced during the second quarter, continued to target Mineral Resource-to-Reserve conversion in the lower portion of Island East with 6,614 m completed across 10 holes. Furthermore, a total of 107 m of underground exploration drift development was completed during the third quarter.
For the first nine months of 2025 at Island Gold, 33,381 m of underground exploration drilling was completed in 128 holes, and 3,735 m of surface directional exploration drilling was completed in three holes. In addition, 33,001 m of underground delineation drilling was completed in 112 holes, and 11,356 m of surface delineation drilling was completed in 12 holes.
At Magino, 4,771 m of surface drilling was completed in 14 holes during the third quarter focused on infill drilling to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. For the first nine months of 2025 at Magino, 22,390 m of surface drilling was completed in 51 holes.
The regional exploration drilling program continued during the third quarter, with 285 m completed in one hole targeting mineralization at the past-producing Cline-Pick and Edwards mines. For the first nine months of 2025, 6,055 m of drilling in 20 holes have been completed at Cline-Pick and Edwards.
As detailed in the June 2025 exploration update, the program continues to have broad based success with drilling extending high-grade gold mineralization across the Island Gold Deposit, as well as within several hanging wall and footwall structures, highlighting the significant near-mine upside potential. Additionally, the regional exploration program has been successful in intersecting high-grade gold mineralization at the past-producing Cline-Pick and Edwards mines highlighting longer-term opportunities for further growth.
Total exploration expenditures during the third quarter of 2025 were
Young-Davidson (Ontario, Canada)
A total of
To support the program, 500 m of underground exploration development is planned, which includes approximately 400 m to establish a hanging wall exploration drift to the south, from the 9620 level. By the end of the third quarter, 412 m had been completed in the hanging wall drift. This will allow for drill platforms with more optimal locations and orientations to test the higher grade mineralization discovered in the hanging wall.
The regional program includes 6,000 m of drilling focused on evaluating the Otisse NE target, located approximately three km northeast of Young-Davidson, which is expected to commence in the fourth quarter. A comprehensive data compilation project is also planned for the Wydee and Matachewan projects, which were acquired in the third quarter of 2024, and located to the west and east of Young-Davidson, respectively.
During the third quarter, four underground exploration drills completed 11,028 m in 26 holes across multiple levels. Drilling is targeting syenite-hosted mineralization as well as continuing to test mineralization in the hanging wall sediments and mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy.

The planned addition of a mill to process higher-grade sulphides has created new opportunities for growth within the Mulatos District. This includes Cerro Pelon, where drilling in 2024 followed up on wide high-grade underground oxide and sulphide intersections previously drilled below the pit. The program was successful in defining an initial Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource at Cerro Pelon totaling 104,000 ounces, grading 4.49 g/t Au. Cerro Pelon remains open in multiple directions and will be a focus of the 2025 exploration program as a significant opportunity for further growth. As the deposit is located within trucking distance of the planned PDA mill, this represents potential upside to the PDA project.
During the third quarter, exploration activities continued at PDA and the near-mine area with 3,276 m of drilling completed in 15 holes. The focus was on infill drilling the Mulatos North portion as well as the Estrella portion of the PDA zone.
Drilling continued at Cerro Pelon with the focus on evaluating the high-grade sulphide potential to the north of the historical open pit. A total of 8,903 m in 26 holes was completed in the third quarter. Additionally, 6,940 m was drilled in 20 holes, testing greenfield targets across the property.
For the first nine months of 2025, 47,740 m have been drilled in 143 holes.

Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources
Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: All resource and reserve estimates included in this press release or documents referenced in this press release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the "CIM") - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 (“SEC Industry Guide 7”) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has adopted final rules, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S-K 1300”) which became mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021. Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources”. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be substantially similar to international standards.
Investors are cautioned that while the above terms are “substantially similar” to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under Regulation S-K 1300 and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as “proven mineral reserves”, “probable mineral reserves”, “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under Regulation S-K 1300. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes “measured mineral resources”, “indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources” under Regulation S-K 1300, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater degree of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable.
International Financial Reporting Standards: The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. These accounting principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company’s reporting currency is the United States dollar unless otherwise noted.
Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:
- adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share;
- cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and taxes paid;
- Company-wide free cash flow;
- total mine-site free cash flow;
- mine-site free cash flow;
- total cash costs per ounce of gold sold;
- AISC per ounce of gold sold;
- Mine-site AISC per ounce of gold sold;
- sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures; and
- adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")
The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS which exclude the following from net earnings:
- Foreign exchange gains or losses
- Items included in other loss
- Impairment expense/reversal of impairment
- Unrealized gain or loss on commodity derivatives
- Certain non-recurring items
- Foreign exchange gain or loss recorded in deferred tax expense
- The income and mining tax impact of items included in other loss
The Company uses adjusted net earnings for its own internal purposes. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the items which have been excluded from the determination of adjusted net earnings. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables shareholders to better understand the underlying operating performance of the core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.
Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities before Changes in Working Capital and Cash Taxes
“Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and cash taxes” is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company’s ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in working capital and cash taxes to cash flow from operating activities. “Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and cash taxes” is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Company-wide Free Cash Flow
“Company-wide free cash flow" is a non-GAAP performance measure calculated from cash flow from operating activities, less mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures and non-recurring costs. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash company-wide. Company-wide free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Company-wide free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Mine-site Free Cash Flow
"Mine-site free cash flow" is a non-GAAP financial performance measure calculated as cash flow from operating mine-sites, less mine-site mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Mine-site free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Mine-site free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

(1) Cash from operating activities for the Canadian operations excludes the impact of the 12,346 ounces and 37,038 ounces delivered into the gold prepayment arrangement for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. The non-cash adjustment to reflect the settlement of the gold prepayment arrangement is included in Company-wide free cash flow.
(2) Comparative figures reflect the inclusion of the Magino Mine as of its acquisition on July 12, 2024.
Total Cash Costs per ounce
Total cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP term typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. This non-GAAP term is also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operating activities. Total cash costs per ounce includes mining and processing costs plus applicable royalties, and net of by-product revenue and net realizable value adjustments. Total cash costs per ounce is exclusive of exploration costs. As well, the Company excludes mark-to-market adjustments for the revaluation of previously issued share-based compensation, therefore, total cash costs will incorporate the cost of long term incentives associated with the grant date fair value instruments issued.
Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.
All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce and Mine-site All-in Sustaining Costs
The Company adopted an “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” non-GAAP performance measure in accordance with the World Gold Council. The Company believes the measure more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning. Accordingly, there may be some variation in the method of computation of “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” for the consolidated Company reflects total mining and processing costs, corporate and administrative costs, share-based compensation, sustaining exploration costs, sustaining capital, sustaining finance leases and other operating costs. The Company excludes mark-to-market adjustments for the revaluation of previously issued share-based compensation, therefore all-in sustaining costs will incorporate the cost of long term incentives associated with the grant date fair value for instruments issued.
For the purposes of calculating "mine-site all-in sustaining costs" at the individual mine-sites, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative costs and share-based compensation, as detailed in the reconciliations below.
Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature. Non-sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures primarily incurred at development projects and costs related to major projects at existing operations, where these projects will materially benefit the mine site. Capitalized exploration expenditures are expenditures that meet the IFRS definition for capitalization and are incurred to further expand the known Mineral Reserves and Resources at existing operations or development projects. For each mine-site reconciliation, corporate and administrative costs, and non-site specific costs are not included in the all-in sustaining cost per ounce calculation.
All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and removes the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. The measure also removes the impact of non-cash items such as impairment loss charges or reversals, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.
