independent registered public accounting firm financial

"approved the dismissal of Baker Tilly US, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm"

An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.

Audit Committee financial

"the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Contango Silver & Gold Inc."

A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.

reportable events regulatory

"no (a) disagreements with Baker Tilly ... or (b) reportable events requiring disclosure"

Reportable events are significant incidents or changes a company is legally required to disclose to regulators and the public, such as major safety problems, legal actions, financial irregularities, or management changes. They matter to investors because these events can alter a company’s risk profile or future performance, much like a dashboard warning light signals a problem that could affect a car’s safety or reliability. Timely disclosure helps investors make informed decisions and maintain market fairness.

Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K regulatory

"no ... reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K"

Emerging growth company regulatory

"Emerging growth company Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant."

An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.

(a) Dismissal of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On June 24, 2026, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Audit Committee”) of Contango Silver & Gold Inc. (“Contango” or the “Company”) approved the dismissal of Baker Tilly US, LLP (“Baker Tilly”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company informed Baker Tilly of its dismissal on June 24, 2026.

The audit report of Baker Tilly on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years then ended, did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through June 24, 2026, there were no (a) disagreements with Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which, if not resolved to Baker Tilly’ satisfaction, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports on the Company’s financial statements, or (b) reportable events requiring disclosure pursuant to Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

The Company provided Baker Tilly with a copy of this Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) and requested that Baker Tilly furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the Commission stating whether it agrees with the above statements and, if it does not agree, the respects in which it does not agree. A copy of Baker Tilly’ letter to the Commission, dated June 26, 2026, is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

(b) Appointment of New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Also on June 24, 2026, the Audit Committee approved the engagement of BDO Canada LLP (“BDO”) as its new independent registered public accounting firm. BDO’s appointment will be for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and related interim periods.

During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, neither the Company, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with BDO regarding: (i) either the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a “disagreement,” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to that item, or a “reportable event,” as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
