How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Key Terms

gold equivalent ounces, adjusted EBITDA, preliminary economic assessment, ifrs

4 terms

gold equivalent ounces technical

"Attributable gold equivalent ounces ("GEOs") of 4,959"

Gold equivalent ounces express the combined output or reserves of a mine by converting other metals (like silver, copper or zinc) into the amount of gold they would be worth at current market prices, so everything is shown as a single “gold” number. For investors this provides a common yardstick to compare production, value and growth across projects that produce multiple metals—like converting several currencies into one familiar money unit.

adjusted EBITDA financial

"Adjusted EBITDA of $17.9 million, an increase of 212% over Q3 2025."

Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.

preliminary economic assessment technical

"released an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA")"

A preliminary economic assessment is an initial analysis that estimates the potential profitability and feasibility of a project or resource, such as a new mineral deposit or development venture. It provides a rough idea of costs, benefits, and risks, helping investors decide whether to pursue more detailed studies. This early evaluation is important because it offers a snapshot of whether the project is worth further investment and development.

ifrs financial

"prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")"

International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are a set of common accounting rules used by many companies worldwide to prepare financial statements, so numbers like revenue, profit and assets are measured in the same way across borders. For investors, IFRS matters because it makes it easier to compare the financial health and performance of different companies—like using the same ruler to measure different objects—reducing surprises and helping informed investment decisions.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2026) - Versamet Royalties Corporation (NASDAQ: VMET) (TSX: VMET) ("Versamet" or the "Company") announces operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026.

Q3 2026 Financial Highlights

• Revenue of $21.1 million, an increase of 160% over Q3 2025.
• Attributable gold equivalent ounces¹ ("GEOs") of 4,959, an increase of 84% over Q3 2025.
• Cash flow from operations before working capital changes² of $18.1 million, an increase of 196% over Q3 2025.
• Net income of $4.1 million, an increase of 23% over Q3 2025.
• Adjusted EBITDA³ of $17.9 million, an increase of 212% over Q3 2025.

Dan O'Flaherty, CEO of Versamet, commented: "The third quarter reflected material progress across our portfolio. Our producing assets performed well highlighted by increased gold production at Kiaka (13% over the prior quarter) and record monthly production at Santa Rita as Appian approaches a final investment decision on the underground. We expect our portfolio to have a strong finish to 2026 and we reiterate our guidance for the year.

"Our next wave of growth is taking shape as our operating partners advance key projects that will expand our production profile in both the near and long term. Rosh Pinah's RP 2.0 expansion is in the final phase of construction, Cuiú Cuiú poured first gold ahead of schedule in September, and Blackwater's Phase 1A expansion remains on track for completion this quarter. Eskay Creek continues to advance toward first ore in 2027, with construction over 80% complete as of the end of October, while Southern Copper has begun early site works at El Pilar. Further strengthening our growth pipeline, new economic studies were completed for PC Silver and Zuun Mod, and SSR Mining's acquisition of Converse provides a clear path to production for the project.

"Versamet was also added to the GDXJ in September, one of the major indices for mining equities, marking another important milestone in the advancement of our capital markets profile."

Asset Updates (Producing Assets)

Kiaka (2.7% NSR Royalty)

Kiaka delivered strong operational performance in Q3 2026 with record gold production of 76,030 ounces, a 13% increase over the previous quarter. The increase was driven by a 15% increase in mill throughput, to 2.87 million tonnes at an average head grade of 0.9 g/t and recovery of 93.1%. West African Resources sold 73,492 ounces of gold from Kiaka during the quarter and held 20,861 ounces of unsold gold bullion at the end of the quarter, which Versamet expects to contribute to GEOs in subsequent quarters. Kiaka is expected to produce between 240,000 and 280,000 ounces of gold in 2026.⁴

Rosh Pinah (90% Silver Stream)

In Q3 2026, the Company recorded 455 GEOs from sales of silver deliveries from Rosh Pinah. The RP2.0 expansion project continues to advance and is now in the final phase of its construction.⁵

Greenstone (1.26% Gold Stream)

Greenstone produced 60,596 ounces of gold in Q3 2026 with the plant processing 2.2 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.03 g/t.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability, and inferred mineral resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves. Preliminary economic assessments referred to in this news release are preliminary in nature and include inferred mineral resources, and there is no certainty that they will be realized.

Endnotes

1. Attributable Gold Equivalent Ounces is calculated by converting the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales to a GEO basis by dividing the royalty revenue plus stream sales for a period by the average gold price based on the LBMA Gold Price PM Fix per ounce for the same respective period. Total Attributable GEOs sold includes the GEOs from the Company's royalty revenue and stream sales, plus the gold ounces sold from the Greenstone gold interest and Santa Rita royalty amounts received related to the period between the effective date of the contract and closing of the agreement, which have been treated as an adjustment to the purchase consideration for accounting. Management believes that adjusting for these amounts more accurately depicts GEOs attributable to the Company. The Company presents Total Attributable GEOs as it believes that this is useful information to allow investors to evaluate the Company's performance in comparison to other streaming and royalty companies in the precious metals mining industry that present results on a similar basis.

2. Cash flow from operating activities before working capital changes is calculated by adding back the decrease or subtracting the increase in changes in non-cash working capital (being trade and other receivables and prepaid assets and trade and other payables) to or from cash provided by (used in) operating activities. The Company presents cash flows from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital as it believes this presents a useful measure of the Company's ability to generate cash to cover operating expenses from its cash-flowing royalties.

3. EBITDA refers to earnings (or loss) determined in accordance with IFRS, before finance and interest expense, interest income, income tax expense (recovery) and depreciation (including depletion) and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA to exclude any non-cash cost of sales, impairment charges and gains/loss on assets and liabilities which are mark-to-market each reporting period. This measure is used by management and investors to determine the ability of an issuer to generate cash from operations. Management believes this measure is a useful supplemental measure from which to determine the Company's ability to generate cash available for working capital requirements, investment expenditures and income taxes.
