OUTLOOK
In 2026, the Company continues to expect to receive or accrue payments on 3,500 to 4,500 attributable GEOs. The lower end of the range reflects current operating assumptions and known constraints, while the upper end incorporates the potential impact of improved grades, continued ramp-up of key assets, and contributions from new sources of cash flow. Attributable GEOs are expected to be weighted toward the second half of 2026, reflecting the timing of higher-grade production and the continued ramp-up of key assets.

On June 1, 2026, IAMGOLD announced an updated National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") compliant MRE for the Côté gold mine. The updated MRE integrates the Côté and Gosselin zones, including the connecting saddle area, into a single geological and resource framework. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, totalled 12.7 million ounces of gold at Côté, and 7.4 million ounces of gold at Gosselin, and a total consolidated Measured and Indicated Resource, inclusive of Mineral Reserves, of 20.3 million ounces of gold. Inferred Mineral Resources totalled 2.0 million ounces of gold at Côté, and 0.9 million ounces of gold at Gosselin, and a total Inferred Mineral Resource of 3.5 million ounces of gold. The updated MRE will inform the upcoming Côté Gold Technical Report and mine plan, which remains on track for release in the fourth quarter of 2026. The updated technical report is expected to outline an updated life-of-mine plan incorporating the consolidated Côté and Gosselin pit, evaluate options for a plant expansion to leverage the larger consolidated resource base, and update Mineral Reserves accordingly. Further details on the design, scheduling, and economic parameters of the integrated operation will be disclosed at that time. IAMGOLD is also planning an additional 30,000 m diamond drilling program for 2026. The next phases of diamond drilling will aim to infill and test the ability to further expand the mineralized envelope for 2027.

On June 22, 2026, Unico Silver Ltd. ("Unico") reported assay results from 46 drill holes totalling 6,631 meters at Joaquin. Unico stated that drilling continues to deliver strong gold-silver intercepts across the La Morocha SE, Breccia Puntudo, and La Negra SE prospects, extending mineralization beyond the mineral resource reported on March 17, 2026. Unico also stated that infill drilling at Breccia Puntudo confirms high-grade gold mineralization supporting conversion of inferred to indicated mineral resources, and extension drilling at La Negra SE continues to return wide zones of oxide gold-silver mineralization along strike and below the March 2026 mineral resource.
Unico also reported that exploration drilling was completed and activity is now focused on prefeasibility study work streams including geotechnical drilling, Phase 2 baseline environmental studies, and water-exploration drilling for hydrological studies, with a maiden Prefeasibility Study scheduled for Q3 2026.

Garrison
On April 27, May 21, June 18, and August 4, 2026, STLLR Gold Inc. ("STLLR") announced additional assay results from its 2026 drilling program at the Jonpol deposit, situated in the Garrison property at the eastern end of the Tower Gold project. STLLR announced that it has completed 8,536 m of drilling at Jonpol for its first-half 2026 drill program. This year's programs are designed to deliver on two primary objectives: first, strike extension with the majority of 2026 program targeting the western extension of Jonpol's open-pit mineralization, with plans to expand the strike from 400 m as currently defined in the Tower Gold project Preliminary Economic Assessment to approximately 1,200 m; and second, infill drilling to confirm the block model and support the potential expansion of the higher-grade mineralization to incorporate into a future MRE. STLLR stated that the additional assays continued to intersect near-surface, high-grade mineralization in targeted areas along the western strike extension. Notably, these results yielded grades exceeding the current average open-pit grades at Jonpol in the Tower MRE, suggesting the potential to expand the mineral resources. These results continue to confirm the current geological model, supporting the potential expansion of higher-grade mineralization.
Metalla holds a
Plomosas
On July 10, 2026, GR Silver Mining Ltd. ("GR Silver") reported positive drill results from the resource expansion drilling program at the San Marcial area in the Plomosas project. Diamond drilling on the SE Extension target confirmed the extension of high-grade silver mineralization for at least an additional 150 m to the southeast of the 2023 NI 43-101 MRE boundary. GR Silver stated that these results increase confidence in the exploration potential of the southeastern extension of the San Marcial system, which will continue to be tested as part of the ongoing 20,000-metre step-out drilling program.
On May 19, 2026, GR Silver reported its best ever drill results at San Marcial of 45.1 m true width at 1,623 g/t Ag including 18.85 m at 3,846 g/t Ag, and including 8.25 m at 8,579 g/t Ag.

On June 1, 2026, Discovery Mining Ltd. ("Discovery") (formerly Discovery Silver Corp.) announced the completion of the acquisition of the Kidd Operations. Discovery stated that a study is advancing for construction of a new conventional gold processing circuit at the Kidd Met Site, where future production from TVZ is expected to be processed.
On April 23, 2026, Discovery announced drilling at the TVZ project included 17 holes for 5,803 m. Results from the program were positive and included multiple significant assays from the TVZ1 and TVZ2 zones, which mark the north and south limits of the zone. The current work program is designed to infill and expand the TVZ Zone, with drilling ongoing from historic drill platforms, in preparation for an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource in late 2026.
Metalla holds a
Tower Mountain
On July 16, 2026, Thunder Gold Corp. ("Thunder Gold") announced exploration diamond drill results from the UV target, at the Tower Mountain property. Six holes totaling 2,937 m targeted the down-dip projection of the main mineralized trend observed in historical diamond drill holes completed from 2002 to 2005. Three holes targeted the projected trend 100 to 150 m below the current bottom of the optimized pit constraining the 2026 MRE. The remaining holes targeted gaps in the MRE where there was insufficient drill data to estimate gold grades. Drilling has confirmed that the main mineralized trend at UV continues at depth and remains open, with grades and widths consistent with historical drilling and the 2026 MRE. Importantly, multiple new zones of mineralization above the 2026 MRE cut-off grade of 0.19 g/t Au were intersected in areas previously modeled as waste, providing potential to reduce the current 1.8:1 waste-to-ore strip ratio defined within the optimized pit.
Metalla holds a
Mirado Mine
On June 23, 2026, Kirkland Lake Discoveries Corp. ("KLDC") announced assay results from its ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program at the past-producing Mirado property. KLDC reported that the broader South Zone mineralization intersected in earlier drilling is interpreted as a major dilation-hosted mineralized area. These holes returned wider zones of mineralization and helped define the main South Zone mineralized body. Drill hole KLM26-011 extended this broader shallow South Zone mineralized area approximately 100 m west of KLM26-004. In the North Zone, KLDC stated that KLM26-008 was drilled approximately 75 m east of KLM26-006 and continues to support KLDC's interpretation of stacked, steeply dipping mineralized structures. When integrated with the South Zone, the expansion in KLM26-011, and the southern high-grade intercepts in KLM26-010, the results support a larger exploration model in which multiple mineralized zones may be connected by a common structural and hydrothermal framework.
On May 25, 2026, KLDC announced assay results from its ongoing 2026 diamond drilling program at the Mirado property. KLDC stated that assay results from drill holes KLM26-005 and KLM26-006, and visuals from KLM26-010 continue to strengthen KLDC's evolving geological model at Mirado and highlight the growing scale of both the South and North Zone systems. KLDC also stated that winter drilling at KL West and KL South came in under budgeted, as a result KLDC has added an additional 5,000 m of drilling at KL South, bringing the total program up to 30,000 m.
