Fortuna Mining (NYSE: FSM) doubles Q1 earnings and boosts cash with strong gold sales
Fortuna Mining Corp. delivered a sharply stronger first quarter of 2026 from continuing operations. Sales rose to $342.5 million from $195.0 million, driven mainly by higher gold prices and increased volumes at the Lindero and Séguéla mines. Net income from continuing operations increased to $119.9 million, with basic earnings per share attributable to shareholders of $0.36, up from $0.12. Adjusted EBITDA reached $218.8 million, more than double the prior year period. Free cash flow from ongoing operations was $174.0 million, supporting a cash balance of $665.9 million and debt of $136.6 million as of March 31, 2026. The company repurchased 2.2 million shares for $20.4 million and renewed its normal course issuer bid. Fortuna also entered a staged earn-in to acquire up to a 70% interest in the Quartzstone gold project in Guyana, committing to extensive drilling and a potential feasibility study.

Insights
Q1 2026 shows a step-change in profitability, cash generation, and balance sheet strength.
Fortuna posted Q1 2026 sales of $342.5M, up from $195.0M, as Lindero and Séguéla benefited from higher gold prices and solid volumes. Mine operating income rose to $211.8M and operating income to $180.1M, reflecting strong site-level margins.
Net income from continuing operations increased to $119.9M, with basic EPS at $0.36 versus $0.12. Adjusted EBITDA of $218.8M more than doubled, and free cash flow from ongoing operations was $174.0M. Cash reached $665.9M against debt of $136.6M, while the $150.0M revolving credit facility remained undrawn.
The company repurchased 2.2M shares for $20.4M under its NCIB and renewed authority to buy up to 15.2M shares. It also agreed to an earn-in for up to a 70% interest in the Quartzstone Project in Guyana, paying a $5.0M option premium and committing to 60,000 meters of drilling over four years. Future filings will show how this exploration spend and higher sustaining capital at Séguéla and Caylloma translate into longer-term production.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Statement of Compliance
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) have been prepared by management of the Company in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, including IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for full annual financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, which include information necessary for understanding the Company’s business and financial presentation.
Other than as described below, the same accounting policies and methods of computation are followed in these interim financial statements as compared with the most recent annual financial statements.
These unaudited condensed interim financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Company's Board of Directors on May 6, 2026.
Basis of Measurement
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis under the historical cost basis, except for those assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value (Note 23) at the end of each reporting period.
Adoption of new and future accounting standards
The Company adopted various amendments to IFRS, which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. These include amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. The impacts of adoption were not material to the Company's interim financial statements.

Notes to Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
(Unaudited – Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
In April 2024, the IASB issued new IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. This standard, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, replaces IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The standard introduces new classification categories and mandatory subtotals in the statement of income, as well as new disclosure requirements for management-defined performance measures and it may affect what the Company reports as its operating profit or loss. The Company is advancing its assessment of the standard's impacts and is currently reviewing its internal reporting structures to align with the new presentation requirements.
3. USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS, AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of these interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the interim financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.
In preparing these interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company applied the critical estimates, assumptions and judgements as disclosed in Note 4 of its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Côte d’Ivoire
The Company entered into an agreement with a service provider at the Séguéla mine wherein if the Company terminates the agreement prior to the end of its term, in May 2028, the Company would be required to make an early termination payment, which is reduced monthly over 66 months. If the Company had terminated the agreement on March 31, 2026, and elected not to purchase the service provider’s equipment, it would have been subject to an early termination payment of $15.3 million. If the Company elected to purchase the service provider’s equipment, the early termination amount would be adjusted to exclude equipment depreciation and demobilization of equipment, and only include the portion of the monthly management fees and demobilization of personnel.
Additional early termination payments may apply under certain other service agreements, amounting to a cumulative fee of approximately $3.6 million as at March 31, 2026.
In addition, as at March 31, 2026, the Company had outstanding bank guarantees totaling $6.8 million, primarily securing obligations related to environmental rehabilitation, supplier contracts, and disputed tax assessments.
(c) Tax Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various tax assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these actions. The Company has recognized tax provisions with respect to current assessments received from the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and from any uncertain tax positions identified. For those amounts recognized related to current tax assessments received, the provision is based on management's best estimate of the outcome of those assessments, based on the validity of the issues in the assessment, management's support for their position, and the expectation with respect to any negotiations to settle the assessment. Management re-evaluates the outstanding tax assessments regularly to update their estimates related to the outcome for those assessments taking into account the criteria above.
(d) Other Contingencies
The Company is subject to various investigations and other claims; and legal, labour, and tax proceedings covering matters that arise in the ordinary course of business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved unfavourably for the Company. Certain conditions may exist as of the date these financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Company. None of these matters is expected to have a material effect on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.

CORPORATE DEVELOPMENTS
Fortuna Establishes Presence in the Guyana Shield
On April 16, 2026, the Company entered into an earn-in agreement with Qstone Inc. (“Qstone”), a private Guyanese company, pursuant to which Fortuna may earn up to a 70% interest in the Quartzstone Project, a large land package comprising 29,600 hectares located in the greenstone belt of north central Guyana. Refer to the News Release dated April 20, 2026 “Fortuna Establishes Presence in the Guyana Shield Through Quartzstone Earn-In Agreement”.
Fortuna may earn an initial 51% interest in the Quartzstone Project by completing a minimum of 60,000 meters of drilling within four years, while paying all license fees and funding all related expenditures. Upon exercise of the first option, Fortuna will form a joint venture with Qstone.
Fortuna may earn an additional 19% interest in the Quartzstone Project, for an aggregate 70% interest, by solely funding a feasibility study within three years of exercising the first option and continuing to pay all license fees. Upon signing the Earn-In Agreement, the Company paid Qstone a non-refundable cash option premium of $5.0 million.

First Quarter 2026 vs First Quarter 2025
Consolidated sales from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were $342.5 million, a 76% increase from the $195.0 million reported in the same period in 2025. Sales by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:
| ● | Lindero recognized sales of $101.5 million from the sale of 21,183 ounces of gold, a 91% increase from the comparable period in 2025. Sales increased at Lindero as a result of higher realized metal prices of $4,837 per gold ounce compared to $2,877 and higher ounces sold. See "Results of Operations – Lindero Mine, Argentina" for additional information. |
| ● | Séguéla recognized sales of $206.3 million from the sale of 42,054 ounces of gold, an increase of 86% over the comparable period. Higher sales at Séguéla were the result of higher production from higher grades as well as higher realized metal prices of $4,906 per gold ounce compared to $2,888 in the comparable period. See "Results of Operations – Séguéla Mine, Côte d’Ivoire" for additional information. |
| ● | Caylloma recognized sales of $34.1 million compared to $30.6 million reported in the same period in 2025. Increased sales were driven by higher realized silver prices of $82.69 per ounce compared to $31.77 per ounce in the comparable period. The increase was partially offset by lower base metal production. See "Results of Operations – Caylloma Mine, Peru" for additional information. |

First Quarter 2026 vs First Quarter 2025
Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $180.1 million, an increase of $124.2 million over the same period in 2025 which was primarily due to:
| ● | Higher operating income at the Lindero Mine was primarily the result of higher sales as described above. This was partially offset by higher depletion per ounce due to an impairment reversal in Q3 2025 and higher Argentine peso denominated costs due to macroeconomic factors. |
| ● | The Séguéla Mine recognized operating income of $119.9 million in the first quarter compared to $44.5 million in the comparable period. The increase in operating income was a result of higher sales and lower depletion per ounce due to an increase in reserves partially offset by higher royalties. Operating income for the first quarter of 2026 included $11.6 million in depletion related to the purchase price of Roxgold Inc. in 2021. |
| ● | Operating income at the Caylloma Mine for the first quarter of 2026 increased by $7.3 million compared to 2025 as a result of higher silver sales. |
After adjusting for items that are not indicative of future operating earnings, adjusted EBITDA (refer to Non-IFRS Financial Measures) was $218.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, an increase of $116.2 million over the same period in 2025. Higher adjusted EBITDA was primarily the result of higher sales.
The most comparable IFRS measure to the Non-IFRS measure adjusted EBITDA is net income from continuing operations. Net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $119.9 million, an $81.0 million increase from the $38.9 million reported in the comparable period. Refer to the discussion above and to the section entitled “Non-IFRS Measures” for more detailed information.

First Quarter 2026 vs First Quarter 2025
Consolidated AISC per gold equivalent ounce (“GEO”) sold from continuing operations for the first quarter of 2026 was $2,107 compared to $1,752 for the comparable quarter. Factors that contributed to higher AISC for the period were:
| ● | An $84/oz increase due to higher cash costs |
| ● | A $114/oz increase from royalties as a result of higher realized metal prices |
| ● | $43/oz from higher G&A primarily due to timing of expenses |
| ● | $87/oz for higher sustaining capital due to capitalized stripping at Séguéla |
| ● | The comparable period included a ($20)/oz benefit related to the gain on blue chip swaps in Argentina |

G&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased 18% to $27.8 million compared to $23.9 million reported in the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to the timing of the spending.
Foreign Exchange
Foreign exchange loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $2.1 million compared to a $0.2 million gain reported in the same period in 2025. The higher foreign exchange loss in the quarter was due to the purchase of US dollars in Argentina to repatriate funds and a devaluation of the Euro relative to the US Dollar and the impact on cash and VAT balances in Côte d’Ivoire held in West African Francs.
Income Tax Expense
Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $58.4 million compared to $15.4 million reported in the same period in 2025. The $43.0 million increase in income tax expense was due to higher net income before taxes as well as the accrual of $12.4 million in withholding taxes primarily for repatriation of cash from subsidiaries.
The effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was 33% compared to 28% for the same period in 2025. The increase in the ETR for Q1 2026 was primarily due to a higher deferred tax expense as a result of the accrual of withholding taxes and the impact of foreign exchange rates on tax balances in local currency.
The Company is subject to tax in various jurisdictions, including Peru, Mexico, Argentina, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Australia, and Canada. There are a number of factors that can significantly impact the Company’s ETR including the geographic distribution of income, variations in our income before income taxes, varying rates in different jurisdictions, the non-recognition of tax assets, local inflation rates, fluctuation in the value of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, changes in tax laws, and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. As a result of the number of factors that can

potentially impact the ETR and the sensitivity of the tax provision to these factors, the ETR will fluctuate, sometimes significantly. This trend is expected to continue in future periods.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the first quarter of 2026, a total of 1,525,826 tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pad, with an average gold grade of 0.62 g/t, containing an estimated 30,538 ounces of gold. Ore mined was 1.7 million tonnes, with a stripping ratio of 1.35:1.
Lindero’s gold production for the quarter was 21,545 ounces compared to 20,320 ounces in the previous period. Higher production was mainly due to higher head grade and improved mining sequence. In late March 2026, Lindero commenced a planned 30-day replacement of the primary crusher steel foundations. Mining operations continued in advance of the scheduled work, with ore being stockpiled to support uninterrupted stacking on the leach pad during the foundation replacement period. Replacement of the primary crusher steel foundations was successfully completed on May 1, 2026 and the mine has resumed full operations.

The cash cost per ounce of gold for the quarter was $1,208 compared to $1,147 in the same period of 2025. The increase in cash costs was primarily driven by higher processing costs and macroeconomic factors increasing Argentine peso denominated costs and partially offset by higher production.
In the first quarter of 2026, AISC per gold ounce sold decreased to $1,783 compared to $1,911 in the comparable period of 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower sustaining capital expenditures as the expansion of the leach pad was under construction in the comparable period. This was partially offset by higher cash costs.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
During the first quarter of 2026, mine production totaled 392,728 tonnes of ore, averaging 3.69 g/t Au, and containing an estimated 46,640 ounces of gold from the Antenna, Ancien, and Koula pits. Ore tonnes mined were lower than tonnes milled during the quarter, in line with the mine plan and the strategy to reduce surface stockpiles. A total of 5,461,098 tonnes of waste were moved during the period, resulting in a strip ratio of 13.9:1. Stripping activities also commenced at the Sunbird pit, where 1,393,130 tonnes of waste were mined.
In the first quarter of 2026, Séguéla processed 430,953 tonnes of ore, producing 42,016 ounces of gold, at an average head grade of 3.21 g/t Au, a 3% decrease in tonnes of ore and 16% increase in average head grade, compared to the same period of the previous year.

Cash cost per gold ounce sold was $678, comparable to $650 for the first quarter of 2025 as higher operating costs were offset by increased production.
All-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,760 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1,290 for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily a result of higher sustaining capital from capitalized stripping and royalties due to higher gold prices and partially offset by the increase in ounces sold.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the first quarter of 2026, the Caylloma Mine produced 257,603 ounces of silver at an average head grade of 72 g/t, a 6% increase when compared to the same period of 2025.
Lead and zinc production for the quarter was 8.2 million pounds and 11.5 million pounds, respectively. Head grades averaged 2.99% Pb and 4.21% Zn, a 7% and 16% decrease, respectively, when compared to the same quarter in 2025. Production was lower due to lower head grades and was in line with the mine plan.
The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold in the first quarter of 2026 was $30.26 compared to $12.80 during the first quarter of 2025. The higher cost per ounce for the quarter was primarily the result of higher realized silver prices and the impact on the calculation of silver equivalent ounces sold.
The all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of payable silver equivalent in the first quarter of 2026 increased 137% to $44.36 compared to $18.74 for the same period of 2025. The increase for the quarter was the result of higher cash costs per ounce and lower silver equivalent ounces due to higher silver prices.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $665.9 million at March 31, 2026 compared to $554.0 million at the end of 2025. The increase in cash and cash equivalents was the result of higher metal prices driving higher cash flow from operations. Significant cash flow movements for the first quarter of 2026 are described below.
Operating Activities
Operating cash flow for the quarter was $209.4 million compared to $89.0 million in Q1 2025. Higher operating cash flow was driven by higher realized metal prices for gold of $4,884 in Q1 2026 compared to $2,884 in Q1 2025 and higher gold ounces sold.
Investing Activities
The Company invested $45.3 million in Q1 2026 compared to $37.9 million in Q1 2025 as outlined in the table below.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES
The Company has disclosed certain financial measures and ratios in this MD&A which are not defined under IFRS and are not disclosed in the Financial Statements, including but not limited to: all-in costs; cash cost per ounce of gold; all-in sustaining costs; all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold equivalent sold; all in cash cost per ounce of gold sold; cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent; all-in sustaining cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; sustaining capital; growth capital; all-in cash cost per payable ounce of silver equivalent sold; free cash flow and free cash flow from ongoing operations; adjusted net income; adjusted attributable net income; adjusted EBITDA; EBITDA margin; net debt and working capital.
These non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios are widely reported in the mining industry as benchmarks for performance and are used by Management to monitor and evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash. The Company believes that, in addition to financial measures and ratios prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios to evaluate the Company’s performance. However, the measures do not have a standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. Accordingly, non-IFRS financial measures and non-IFRS ratios should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures and ratios of the Company’s performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The Company has calculated these measures consistently for all periods presented with the exception of the following:
| ● | The calculation of Adjusted EBITDA was revised to no longer include right of use payments to better align with the cash flow statement. Management elected to make the change to simplify the calculation and to better align with our peers to improve comparability |
The following table outlines the non-IFRS financial measures and ratios, their definitions, the most directly comparable IFRS measures and why we use these measures.
Non-IFRS | Definition | Most Directly | Why we use this measure and | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Silver Equivalent Ounces Sold | Silver equivalent ounces are calculated by converting other metal production to its silver equivalent using relative metal/silver metal prices at realized prices and adding the converted metal production expressed in silver ounces to the ounces of silver production. | Silver Ounces Sold | Management believes this provides a consistent way to measure costs. | |
Gold Equivalent Ounces Sold | Gold equivalent ounces are calculated by converting other metal production to its gold equivalent using relative metal/gold metal prices at realized prices and adding the converted metal production expressed in gold ounces to the ounces of gold production. | Gold Ounces Sold | | |
Cash Costs | Cash costs include all direct and indirect operating cash costs related directly to the physical activities of producing metals, including mining and processing costs, third-party refining and treatment charges, on-site general and administrative expenses, applicable production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations , net of by-product credits, but are exclusive of the impact of non-cash items that are included as part of the cost of sales that is calculated in the consolidated Income Statement including depreciation and depletion, reclamation, capital, development and exploration costs. | Cost of Sales | Management believes that cash cost and AISC measures provide useful information regarding the Company's cost structure, ability to generate free cash flow and evaluate the relative performance of our operations. In addition, the Company believes that each measure provides useful information to our investors to evaluate cash flow generation and the costs necessary to maintain current production levels at an operation. | |

Non-IFRS | Definition | Most Directly | Why we use this measure and | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cash Cost Per Ounce | This ratio is calculated by dividing cash costs by gold or silver equivalent ounces sold in the period. | | | |
All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC) | The Company, in conjunction with an initiative undertaken within the gold mining industry, has adopted AISC and all-in sustaining cost measures based on guidance published by World Gold Council ("WGC"). The Company conforms its AISC and all-in cash cost definitions to that set out in the guidance and the Company has presented the cash cost figures on a sold ounce basis. We define All-in Sustaining Costs as total production cash costs incurred at the applicable mining operation but excludes mining royalty recognized as income tax within the scope of IAS-12, as well as non-sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, gains from blue-chip swaps and brownfield exploration expenditures are added to the cash cost. AISC is estimated at realized metal prices. | | | |
AISC per Ounce Sold | This ratio is calculated by dividing AISC by gold or silver equivalent ounces sold in the period. | | | |
All-In Costs | All-In Costs is calculated consistently with AISC but is inclusive of growth capital. | | | |
Sustaining Capital | Sustaining capital represents the necessary capital investments to maintain current operations at their existing including such as capitalized stripping and underground development. | Additions to Property Plant and Equipment | Management believes that sustaining and growth capital provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s investment activities to both maintain the existing operations and invest in the future growth of the Company. | |
Growth Capital | Growth capital represents the capital investments necessary to expand current operations, develop new projects and build significant infrastructure. | | | |
Free Cash Flow From Ongoing Operations | Free cash flow from ongoing operations is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less sustaining capital expenditures and sustaining lease payments, plus blue-chip swap investments and adjusted for one-time items that the Company does not consider representative of future cash flows such as transaction costs and other non-recurring items. | Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | This non-IFRS measure is used by the Company and investors to measure the cash flow available from its operations to fund the Company’s growth through investments and capital expenditures. | |
Free Cash Flow | Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less sustaining and growth capital expenditures and payment of lease obligations. | Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities | This non-IFRS measure is used by the Company to measure cash flow available after funding growth and sustaining capital and lease obligations to fund corporate activities without reliance on additional borrowings. | |

Non-IFRS | Definition | Most Directly | Why we use this measure and | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Attributable Net Income | Adjusted net income and adjusted attributable net income excludes the after-tax and non-controlling interest impact of specific items that are significant, which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period, which includes but is not limited to: ◾ Acquisition/disposition gains and losses and the fees associated with executing the transaction; ◾ Impairment charges (reversals) related to mineral properties and PP&E; and ◾ Other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business | Net Income | Management believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information and information obtained from conventional IFRS measures to evaluate the Company’s performance. | |
Adjusted EBITDA | Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, which the Company believes are not reflective of the Company’s underlying performance for the reporting period, which includes but is not limited to: ◾ Acquisition/disposition gains and losses and the fees associated with executing the transaction; ◾ Impairment charges (reversals) related to mineral properties and PP&E; and ◾ Other items that are not indicative of the underlying operating performance of our core mining business | Net Income | Management believes that adjusted EBITDA provides valuable information as an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA is also a common metric that provides additional information used by investors and analysts for valuation purposes based on an observed or inferred relationship between adjusted EBITDA and market value. | |
EBITDA Margin | This ratio is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by Sales | | | |
Working Capital | Working capital is a non-IFRS measure which is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. | Current Assets, Current Liabilities | Management believes that working capital is a useful indicator of the liquidity of the Company. | |
Net Debt | Net debt is a Non-IFRS measure which is calculated by adding together current and long term debt and then subtracting cash and cash equivalents. | Current Debt, Long Term Debt, Cash and Cash Equivalents | Management believes that net debt is a useful indicator of the liquidity of the Company. | |

In the exploration, development and mining of mineral deposits, we are subject to various significant risks. Several of these financial and operational risks could have a significant impact on our cash flows and profitability. The most significant risks and uncertainties we face include: operating hazards and risks incidental to mining activities; occupational health and safety hazards; mineral resources, mineral reserves and metal recoveries are estimated; the ability to replace mineral reserves; hazards and risks relating to tailings, heap leach and waste rock facilities; assumptions that the Company must make in determining production schedules, economic returns and costs; exploration projects such as Diamba Sud are uncertain; the substantial capital required for exploration and the development of infrastructure; existing and future environmental regulation; political and economic risk in the jurisdictions in which we operate; uncertainties relating to new mining operations; uncertainties relating to obtaining all permits required for operations; global geopolitical risk; repatriation of funds; government regulations and permit requirements, environmental legislation; abnormal or extreme natural events; climate change and weather; risks related to securing required supplies of power and water; labor relations; taxation changes; potential conflicts in partnerships and joint arrangements; use of outside contractors; imposition of trade tariffs; maintenance of mining concessions, challenges to the Company’s title to its properties; the termination of mining concessions in certain circumstances; risks related to artisanal or informal mining on the Company’s properties; compliance with ILO Convention 169; maintaining relationships with local communities; reputational risk; opposition to the Company’s exploration, development or operational activities; funding for exploration and development; production risk at our operating mine sites; failure to complete proposed acquisitions or business arrangements; our ability to service and repay our debt; restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions; change of control restrictions; debt service obligations; breach and default under indebtedness; credit ratings; our ability to attract and retain a skilled workforce; critical infrastructure failures; the ability to maintain appropriate and adequate insurance across all jurisdictions; risks relating to conflicts of interests of our directors and officers; our compliance with corruption and antibribery laws and sanctions; risks related to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business; foreign currency risk; fluctuations in metal prices; our ability to sell to a limited number of

smelters and off-takers; tax matters; credit risk on receivables; sufficiency of monies allotted by the Company for mine closure and reclamation obligations; risks relating to operational and governance practices being challenged by activist shareholders and proxy solicitation firms; risks related to the Company’s compliance with the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act; risks related to information and operation technology systems; results of future legal proceedings and contract settlements; pandemics, epidemics and public health crises; volatility in the market price of the Company’s common shares; risks related to the 2024 Notes; dilution of shareholders from future offerings of the Company’s common shares or securities convertible into common shares; dividends; credit risk through VAT receivables; supply chain disruptions; tax-related risks, including tax and audits and reassessments; risks relating to the uncertainty surrounding the interpretation of omnibus Bill C-59 and the related amendments to the Competition Act (Canada); and competition. These risks are not a comprehensive list of the risks and uncertainties that we face. Risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. For a comprehensive discussion on risks and uncertainties, in respect of our business and share price, refer to the section 'Risk Factors' in our current Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2025 as well as the section ‘Risks and Uncertainties’ in the management’s discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2025 (which are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca).
Significant changes to our financial, operational and business risks exposure during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and up to the date of this MD&A include the following:
| ◾ | On February 28 2026, the United Stated initiated a military action in Iran which has led to instability in the Middle East and the disruption of global energy markets. Heightened tensions and hostilities in the Middle East increase the risk of escalation, further military action, sanctions, trade disruptions, energy price volatility and broader geopolitical uncertainty. Such conflict may adversely affect global economic conditions, including through disruptions to international trade, capital markets, transportation networks and supply chains, increased inflationary pressures, higher interest rates, currency volatility and reduced investor confidence. Escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has also contributed to volatility in global energy markets, which may result in higher fuel, power and transportation costs. Any sustained increase in such costs could negatively affect the Company’s operating costs, project economics, capital expenditures and margins. |
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed at each period end. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.
For further information on our significant judgements and accounting estimates, refer to note 4 of the 2025 Financial Statements.
Changes in Accounting Policies
The Company adopted various amendments to IFRS, which were effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. These include amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. The impacts of adoption were not material to the Company's interim consolidated financial statements.

Fortuna Reports Results for the First Quarter 2026
(All amounts are expressed in US dollars, tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise stated)
Fortuna generates record quarterly free cash flow1 of $174.0 million and adjusted attributable net income1 of $111.0 million
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 6, 2026: Fortuna Mining Corp. (NYSE: FSM | TSX: FVI) (“Fortuna” or the “Company”) today reported its financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2026.
(Results from the Company’s San Jose and Yaramoko assets have been excluded from the 2025 comparative figures, due to the classification of the assets as discontinued in the previous period.)
“Fortuna delivered new quarterly record results with free cash flow of $174.0 million and adjusted attributable earnings of $111.0 million while producing 72,872 gold equivalent ounces which keeps us on track to deliver our 2026 production guidance.” said Jorge A. Ganoza President and CEO of Fortuna. “At Séguéla, changes in the mine plan to accelerate the development of the Sunbird underground access portal from a pit wall are expected to push AISC to the higher end of the guidance range. This will reduce underground development costs and provide optionality for future production plans.” Mr. Ganoza concluded, “On April 23, we announced that we successfully expanded our mineral reserves by 15% year over year, which lends support to our next phase of growth. We also anticipate making key investment decisions regarding the Diamba Sud project and the Séguéla plant expansion by mid-year.”

After adjusting for non-recurring items, adjusted attributable net income was $111.0 million or $0.36 per share compared to $71.3 million or $0.23 per share in Q4 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher realized gold prices and gold sales volume. The realized gold price in Q1 2026 was $4,884 per ounce compared to $4,166 in Q4 2025. Higher gold sales were driven by higher gold production at Séguéla and Lindero.
Foreign Exchange
In Q1 2026, the Company recorded a foreign exchange loss of $2.1 million compared to a loss of $2.9 million in Q4 2025. The foreign exchange loss was due to the purchase of US dollars in Argentina for repatriation and movement in the Euro and the impact on cash and VAT balances in Côte d’Ivoire held in West Africa Francs.
Cash Flow
Net cash generated by operations before changes in working capital totaled $213.3 million or $0.70 per share. After adjusting for working capital, net cash generated by operations for the quarter was $209.4 million, an increase of $47.1 million compared to $162.3 million in Q4 2025. The increase was driven primarily by higher sales, partially offset by positive changes in working capital of $14.7 million in Q4 2025 compared to negative $4.0 million in Q1 2026.
Free cash flow from ongoing operations in Q1 2026 was $174.0 million, an increase of $41.7 million compared to $132.3 million in Q4 2025 reflecting higher cash from operating activities partially offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures.
In Q1 2026, the Company’s total capital expenditures were $45.3 million of which $27.9 million were classified as sustaining and $17.4 million as non-sustaining. Non-sustaining capital expenditures were comprised primarily of $8.8 million at the Diamba Sud project and $8.6 million in brownfields and greenfields exploration.
Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025
Cash cost per ounce and AISC
Consolidated cash cost per GEO increased to $951 in Q1 2026, representing a $85 increase compared to $866 recorded in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily due to the impact of higher gold prices on the calculation of GEOs at Caylloma. Lindero and Séguéla had modest increases in cash costs per ounce of $61 and $28 respectively.
All-in sustaining costs per GEO from continuing operations increased $355 to $2,107 in Q1 2026 from $1,752 in Q1 2025. This increase primarily resulted from higher royalties of $114, higher cash costs as described above and higher CAPEX and sustaining leases. This was partially offset by higher GEOs sold.
Attributable Net Income and Adjusted Net Income
Attributable net income from continuing operations was $111.0 million, or $0.36 per share, compared to $35.4 million, or $0.12 per share, in Q1 2025.
After adjusting for non-recurring items, adjusted attributable net income from continuing operations was $111.0 million or $0.36 per share compared to $35.6 million or $0.12 per share in Q1 2025. The increase
Fortuna | 4
was primarily due to higher realized gold prices and 10% higher gold volume sold. Gold averaged $4,884 per ounce in Q1 2026 compared to $2,884 per ounce in Q1 2025. The higher gold volume sold was explained by higher gold production both at Séguéla and Lindero.
Depreciation and Depletion
Depreciation and depletion increased by $1.1 million to $45.9 million compared to $44.8 million Q1 2025. Depletion per GEO decreased primarily due to the increase in reserves at Séguéla and partially offset by higher depletion per GEO at Lindero due to an impairment reversal of $52.7 million recorded in Q3 2025. Depreciation and depletion in the period included $11.6 million related to the purchase price allocation from the 2021 Roxgold acquisition.
Cash Flow
Net cash generated by operations for the quarter was $209.4 million, an increase of $120.4 million compared to $89.0 million reported in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily driven by higher gold prices.
Free cash flow from ongoing operations in Q1 2026 was $174.0 million, an increase of $107.3 million compared to $66.7 million reported in Q1 2025. The increase was mainly due to higher cash flow from operations as discussed above partially offset by higher sustaining capital expenditures.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
During the first quarter of 2026, mine production totaled 392,728 tonnes of ore, averaging 3.69 g/t Au, and containing an estimated 46,640 ounces of gold from the Antenna, Ancien, and Koula pits. Ore tonnes mined were lower than tonnes milled during the quarter, in line with the mine plan and the strategy to reduce surface stockpiles. A total of 5,461,098 tonnes of waste was moved during the period, resulting in a strip ratio of 13.9:1. Stripping activities also commenced at the Sunbird pit, where 1,393,130 tonnes of waste were mined.
In the first quarter of 2026, Séguéla processed 430,953 tonnes of ore, producing 42,016 ounces of gold, at an average head grade of 3.21 g/t Au, a 3% decrease in tonnes of ore and 16% increase in average head grade, compared to the same period of the previous year.
Cash cost per gold ounce sold was $678 in the current quarter, comparable to the $650 for the first quarter of 2025 as higher operating costs were offset by increased production.
All-in sustaining cash cost per gold ounce sold was $1,760 for the first quarter of 2026 compared to $1,290 for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily a result of higher sustaining capital from capitalized stripping and royalties due to higher gold prices and partially offset by the increase in ounces sold.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the first quarter of 2026, a total of 1,525,826 tonnes of ore were placed on the heap leach pad, with an average gold grade of 0.62 g/t, containing an estimated 30,538 ounces of gold. Ore mined was 1.7 million tonnes, with a stripping ratio of 1.35:1.
Lindero’s gold production for the quarter was 21,545 ounces compared to 20,320 ounces in the previous period. Higher production was mainly due to higher head grade and improved mining sequence. In late-March 2026, Lindero commenced a planned 30-day replacement of the primary crusher steel foundations. Mining operations continued in advance of the scheduled work, with ore being stockpiled to support uninterrupted stacking on the leach pad during the foundation replacement period. Replacement of the primary crusher steel foundations was successfully completed on May 1, 2026 and the mine resumed full operations.
The cash cost per ounce of gold for the current quarter was $1,208 compared to $1,147 in the same period of 2025. The increase in cash costs was primarily driven by higher processing costs and macroeconomic factors increasing peso denominated costs and partially offset by higher production.
In the first quarter of 2026, AISC per gold ounce sold decreased to $1,783 compared to $1,911 in the previous period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower sustaining capital expenditures as the leach pad expansion was under construction in the comparable period. This was partially offset by higher cash costs.

Quarterly Operating and Financial Highlights
In the first quarter of 2026, the Caylloma Mine produced 257,603 ounces of silver at an average head grade of 72 g/t, a 6% increase when compared to the same period of 2025.
Lead and zinc production for the current quarter was 8.2 million pounds and 11.5 million pounds, respectively. Head grades averaged 2.99% Pb and 4.21% Zn, a 7% and 16% decrease, respectively, when compared to the same quarter in 2025. Production was lower due to lower head grades and was in line with the mine plan.

The cash cost per silver equivalent ounce sold in the first quarter of 2026 was $30.26 compared to $12.80 during the first quarter of 2025. The higher cost per ounce for the current quarter was primarily the result of higher realized silver prices and the impact on the calculation of silver equivalent ounces sold.
The all-in sustaining cash cost per ounce of payable silver equivalent in the first quarter of 2026 increased 137% to $44.36 compared to $18.74 for the same period of 2025. The increase for the current quarter was the result of lower silver equivalent ounces due to higher silver prices.

The forward-looking statements in this news release also include financial outlooks and other forward-looking metrics relating to the Company and its business, including references to financial and business prospects and future results of operations, including production, and cost guidance and anticipated future financial performance. Such information, which may be considered future oriented financial information or financial outlooks within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation (collectively, “FOFI”), has been approved by management of the Company and is based on assumptions which management believes were reasonable on the date such FOFI was prepared, having regard to the industry, business, financial conditions, plans and prospects of the Company and its business and properties. These projections are provided to describe the prospective performance of the Company's business. Nevertheless, readers are cautioned that such information is highly subjective and should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results and that actual results may differ significantly from such projections. FOFI constitutes forward-looking statements and is subject to the same assumptions, uncertainties, risk factors and qualifications as set forth below.
Forward-looking Statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the Forward-looking Statements. Such uncertainties and factors include, among others, changes in general economic conditions and financial markets; risks associated with war or other geo-political hostilities, such as the Ukrainian – Russian, Israel – Iran and US, and Israel – Hamas conflicts, any of which could continue to cause a disruption in global economic activity; fluctuation in currencies and foreign exchange rates; increases in the rate of inflation; the imposition or any extension of capital controls in countries in which the Company operates; any changes in tax laws in Argentina and the other countries in which we operate; changes in the prices of key supplies; uncertainty relating to nature and climate change conditions; risks associated with climate change legislation; laws and regulations regarding the protection of the environment (including greenhouse gas emission reduction and other decarbonization requirements and the uncertainty surrounding the interpretation of omnibus Bill C-59 and the related amendments to the Competition Act (Canada); our ability to manage physical and transition risks related to climate change and successfully adapt our business strategy to a low carbon global economy; technological and operational hazards in Fortuna’s mining and mine development activities; risks related to water and power availability; risks inherent in mineral exploration; uncertainties inherent in the estimation of mineral reserves, mineral resources, and metal recoveries; changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and resources; changes to production and cost estimates; changes in the position of regulatory authorities with respect to the granting of approvals or permits; governmental and other approvals; changes in government, political unrest or instability in countries where Fortuna is active; labor relations issues; as well as those factors discussed under “Risk Factors” in the Company's Annual Information Form for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Canadian Securities Administrators and available at www.sedarplus.ca and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as part of the Company’s Form 40-F and available at www.sec.gov/edgar. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward-looking Statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended.
Forward-looking Statements contained herein are based on the assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions of management, including, but not limited to, the accuracy of the Company’s current mineral resource and reserve estimates; that the Company’s activities will be conducted in accordance with the Company’s public statements and stated goals; that there will be no material adverse change affecting the Company, its properties or changes to production estimates (which assume accuracy of projected

ore grade, mining rates, recovery timing, and recovery rate estimates and may be impacted by unscheduled maintenance, labor and contractor availability and other operating or technical difficulties); geo-political uncertainties that may affect the Company’s production, workforce, business, operations and financial condition; the expected trends in mineral prices and currency exchange rates; that the Company will be successful in mitigating the impact of inflation on its business and operations; that all required approvals and permits will be obtained for the Company’s business and operations on acceptable terms; that there will be no significant disruptions affecting the Company's operations, the ability to meet current and future obligations and such other assumptions as set out herein. Forward-looking Statements are made as of the date hereof and the Company disclaims any obligation to update any Forward-looking Statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise, except as required by law. There can be no assurance that these Forward-looking Statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on Forward-looking Statements.
