Material Change Report regulatory
"Exhibit 99.1 Form 51-102F3 MATERIAL CHANGE REPORT Item 1."
A material change report is a public notice that a company must file and share whenever new information or an event is significant enough to likely influence an investor’s decision. Think of it like an urgent update board that tells shareholders about big shifts—such as major deals, leadership changes, sudden losses, or legal issues—so investors can reassess risk and value with the same facts everyone else has.
National Instrument 51-102 regulatory
"Item 6. Reliance on subsection 7.1(2) of National Instrument 51-102"
National Instrument 51-102 is a Canadian securities rule that requires public companies to regularly publish clear, standardized information about their finances and significant developments, such as quarterly and annual reports, management discussion and analysis, and notices of material changes. For investors it acts like a rule forcing businesses to keep their financial “windows” clear and up to date, making it easier to compare companies, spot risks, and make informed decisions.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Certain of the statements made and information provided ... are forward-looking statements"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
Annual Information Form regulatory
"risk factors discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors in Our Business” in the Company’s most recent Annual Information Form"
A company's annual information form is a comprehensive regulatory filing that lays out its business description, key assets, risks, legal matters and other background details shareholders need to understand the company’s operations. Think of it as a detailed owner’s manual or dossier that supplements financial statements, helping investors do deeper homework on how the business works and what could affect its future performance.
Skouries Project technical
"construction and development risks at the Skouries Project and our other construction and development projects"

Forward-looking statements and forward-looking information by their nature are based on a number of assumptions that management considers reasonable. However, if such assumptions prove to be inaccurate, then actual results, activities, performance, or achievements may be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements or information. In addition, except where otherwise stated, we have assumed a continuation of existing business operations on substantially the same basis as exists at the time of this material change report. Even though we believe that the assumptions and expectations represented by such statements or information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate. Many assumptions may be difficult to predict and are beyond our control.

The reader is directed to carefully review our most recent Annual Information Form, Form 40-F and other regulatory filings filed on SEDAR+ and EDGAR under our Company name for a fuller understanding of the risks and uncertainties that affect the Company’s business and operations.

The inclusion of forward-looking statements and information is designed to help you understand management’s current views of our near- and longer-term prospects, and it may not be appropriate for other purposes. There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements or information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Except as required by law, we do not expect to update forward-looking statements and information continually as conditions change and you are referred to the full discussion of the Company’s business contained in the Company’s reports filed with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and the United States. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained herein.
