Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (HYMC) reported a third-quarter net loss of $26.1 million, compared with $9.4 million a year earlier; its nine-month net loss was $95.2 million versus $32.9 million. Operating cash used during the first nine months was $51.7 million, compared with $22.2 million a year earlier. At September 30, 2026, Hycroft had $211.2 million of unrestricted cash and a debt-free balance sheet.

Nine-month general and administrative costs were $66.0 million versus $9.0 million, primarily reflecting $45.0 million of make-whole awards, of which $36.4 million was noncash, and a one-time $4.5 million cash bonus. Hycroft raised net proceeds of $43.4 million from warrant exercises and $35.8 million under its at-the-market program. It completed approximately 18,700 meters of drilling since the program began in August 2025, including approximately 12,900 meters during the nine months; further results were anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026. Roasting-versus-pressure-oxidation study results were expected in the first quarter of 2027.

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.

Filing Explained

The filing reports completed share-count growth, while remaining ATM capacity and outstanding warrants are still potential—not completed—additional issuance.

This unaudited quarterly report shows that by September 30, 2026, Hycroft had 93,183,554 common shares outstanding, up from 83,025,384 at December 31, 2025, after stock issuance, warrant exercises and restricted-stock-unit vesting.

That increase in issued shares reduces an existing holder’s percentage ownership absent offsetting changes.

At September 30, 2026, $55.3 million of gross sales-price capacity remained under the ATM program; the program allows gradual sales at prevailing prices, so this remaining capacity is not a completed sale.

At the same date, 40,967,784 warrants remained outstanding: 36,808,240 Private Placement Warrants exercisable at $1.068 each (10 warrants per common share), expiring March 15, 2027, and 4,159,544 2025 3-Year Warrants exercisable at $4.20, expiring June 13, 2028.

Any further shares from those warrants depend on exercise; outstanding warrants are not themselves shares already issued.

at-the-market equity offering program financial
"under its at-the-market equity offering program"
A program that lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at whatever the current trading price is, usually through a broker, and do so gradually over time instead of all at once. Investors care because it can dilute existing ownership and put steady selling pressure on the stock price, while giving the company a flexible, on-demand way to raise cash — like adding small amounts of water to a pool rather than dumping in a bucket.
cashless exercise financial
"the cashless exercise resulted in the issuance"
A cashless exercise is a way for an option holder to convert stock options into actual shares without paying the purchase price in cash; instead they immediately give up a portion of the newly issued shares to cover the cost and any withholding taxes. Investors care because this process increases the number of shares available and can slightly dilute existing holdings, while also signaling how insiders or employees are realizing compensation without needing cash — similar to paying for a purchase by handing over part of what you just bought.
Asset retirement obligation financial
"changes in the Company’s Asset retirement obligation"
A liability recorded for the future cost to retire, dismantle or clean up a long-lived asset — for example removing an oil rig, closing a mine, or decommissioning a plant. Investors care because it reduces reported profit and ties up capital: companies must estimate and set aside money now for a known future expense, and changes to that estimate can swing earnings, debt ratios and the company’s cash needs much like setting aside savings to repair or return a rented property later.
pressure oxidation technical
"milling with pressure oxidation for sulfide mineralization"
Pressure oxidation is a high-pressure, high-temperature chemical process used to break down tough mineral ores so valuable metals can be recovered more easily, like using a pressure cooker to soften food before extracting ingredients. It matters to investors because it can substantially increase metal recovery and thus revenue, but also raises capital, operating and environmental costs and technical risk, affecting a mining project's profitability and timeline.
net smelter returns financial
"Net smelter returns for any given month"
A net smelter returns (NSR) royalty is a payment to a rights holder equal to a fixed percentage of the money received from selling mined metals after they have been processed and sold by a smelter or refiner, with standard processing costs deducted. Think of it like a landlord taking a percentage of a tenant’s rent after utilities are paid; for investors, an NSR affects a mine owner’s cash flow, project value, and the amount of profit available to shareholders because it reduces revenue from mineral sales.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Company Overview
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “it,” or “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company dedicated to the safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective exploration and development of the Hycroft Mine, located in the state of Nevada.
Our focus is to transition the project to the next phase of operations by processing sulfide mineralization. With the recent high-grade silver discoveries at Brimstone and Vortex, the Company is also engaged in a robust drill program designed to expand the two high-grade silver systems and evaluating underground studies for a potential decline and ultimate mining methods for Brimstone and Vortex. The Company is also completing trade-off studies between pressure oxidation (“POX”) and roasting process alternatives.

In June 2026, the Company, along with its third-party consultants, filed the Hycroft Mine Project S‑K 1300 Technical Report Summary and Initial Assessment with Economic Analysis, Nevada, USA with an effective date of May 14, 2026 the (“May 2026 Hycroft TRS”). The May 2026 Hycroft TRS provides an updated initial assessment with an economic analysis based on a conventional open pit mining operation utilizing a processing approach that includes heap leaching for oxide material and milling with pressure oxidation for sulfide mineralization, with transitional material directed based on economics to either process stream.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of presentation
These Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these Financial Statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Audited Financial Statements”), filed as a part of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 3, 2026. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in the 2025 Audited Financial Statements, with updates discussed below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying Financial Statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the periods presented.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to the useful life of long-lived assets; future mining and processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; and estimates of fair value for long-lived assets, assets held-for-sale, and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions, including drilling and assay data and the May 2026 Hycroft TRS that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these Financial Statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these Financial Statements may not be indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.
Reclassification of prior year presentation
Certain prior period amounts have been combined for consistency with the current year presentation. These line items were combined to simplify the financial statement presentation, enhancing clarity without altering the total amounts reported in the financial statements. The combination of line items had no effect on the totals reported in the statement of operations, financial position, cash flows or stockholders’ equity.

Of the total for surface management surety bonds, $58.3 million secured the financial assurance requirements for the Hycroft Mine, and $0.6 million secured the financial assurance requirements for the adjacent water supply well field, well field monitoring, and exploration. Events or circumstances that would necessitate the guarantor’s performance include a deteriorating financial condition or a breach of contract. Periodically, the Company may need to provide collateral to support these instruments. When the specified requirements are met, the party holding the related instrument cancels and/or returns it to the issuing entity. The Company believes that it currently complies with all relevant financial assurance obligations; however, future revisions to financial assurance requirements may result in changes to the bonding and collateral requirements.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an Asset retirement obligation (“ARO”) downward adjustment of $1.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, resulting primarily from a change in estimate related to the extension of the mine life based on the May 2026 Hycroft TRS and updates to reclamation cost estimates and projected cash flows. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized an ARO adjustment of $2.7 million.
As of September 30, 2026, the ARO was measured using a weighted-average inflation rate of 3.41% to escalate estimated ARO costs to their expected settlement dates and a weighted-average credit-adjusted risk-free rate of 10.81% to discount those costs to present value. The Company estimates undiscounted ARO costs of $358.6 million, of which $5.3 million is expected to be incurred in 2027, with substantially all remaining cash outflows expected to be incurred thereafter.

amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
The Company incurred nil net income tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was nil. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate during each period primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets.

15. Segment information
In accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification Topic 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it operates as a single reportable segment. Since the Company discontinued mining operations in November 2021 and has focused on exploration, the Company’s operations are limited and managed by one chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”). The CODM, who has been identified as the Company’s Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is responsible for all decisions regarding resource allocation and performance evaluation, which are made on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the Company has concluded that it has one operating and reportable segment. The CODM evaluates exploration and development costs and mine site costs (collectively, “Segment expenses” utilizing the following expense groupings (in thousands).

Legal proceedings
Assad v. Sprott, et al.

On September 23, 2026, George Assad, a purported stockholder of Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (the “Company”), filed a verified stockholder class action and derivative complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Chancery Court”), captioned Assad v. Sprott, et al., C.A. No. 2026-1226-KSJM. The complaint names as defendants Eric Sprott, certain entities affiliated or alleged to be affiliated with Mr. Sprott, certain current and former directors of the Company, and certain executive officers of the Company. The Company is named as a nominal defendant.

The complaint makes allegations, among other things, regarding Mr. Sprott’s acquisition of a control position in the Company through his participation in certain equity financings completed by the Company during 2025. Based on these allegations, the complaint asserts direct claims under Delaware law against certain current and former directors and officers of the Company, as well as derivative claims on behalf of the Company against Mr. Sprott, certain of his affiliates and certain directors, relating to the financings, certain bylaw amendments and equity awards granted in 2025. The complaint seeks, among other relief, rescission of, or rescissory damages with respect to, certain shares and warrants issued to Mr. Sprott and his affiliates and certain equity awards, disgorgement, compensatory damages, invalidation of the bylaw amendment, and related declaratory and injunctive relief.

The Company intends to vigorously defend itself in this matter; however, the Company cannot predict the outcome or impact. The litigation is at an early stage and, as a result, the Company is unable to reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss, if any, associated with this matter.

Warrantholder Action

As previously disclosed, the Company has been named as a defendant in three pro se individual and/or putative class/derivative actions in the Delaware Chancery Court that assert claims for, inter alia, breach of contract, declaratory judgment, equitable fraud and fiduciary breaches (against two company officers) arising from or relating to Warrants and/or shares purportedly held by the plaintiffs. In various forms, they allege that the Company or its predecessor entities breached the Warrant Agreement, dated October 22, 2015, and/or related Amendment Agreement, dated February 26, 2020. Among other things, the plaintiffs allege, by or on behalf of Warrant holders, that the Company or its predecessor(s) breached these agreements by failing to make proper “Mechanical Adjustments” to the Warrants upon the occurrence of certain business transactions and events, including the Recapitalization Transaction. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company filed responsive briefs to its previously filed motions to dismiss in these actions. The motions to dismiss are pending as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The Company expenses legal fees and other costs associated with legal proceedings as incurred. The Company assessed, in conjunction with its legal counsel, and determined that a loss was not probable. Litigation accruals are recorded when, and if, it is determined that a loss related matter is both probable and reasonably estimable. Material loss contingencies that are reasonably possible of occurrence, if any, are subject to disclosure. No losses have been recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, with respect to litigation or loss contingencies.
Insurance
The Company maintains insurance coverage for various operational, management, and business risks. The Company records accruals for contingencies related to its insurance policies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change, or additional information becomes available. Insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using historical loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry.
Sprott Royalty
Pursuant to the Royalty Agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (CO) Inc., in which the Company received cash consideration in the amount of $30.0 million, the Company granted a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the net smelter returns from the Hycroft Mine, payable monthly (“Sprott Royalty Agreement”). The royalty is accounted for as a deferred gain liability. Net smelter returns for any given month are calculated as Monthly Production multiplied by the Monthly Average

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion, which has been prepared based on information available to us as of October 26, 2026, provides information we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated operating results and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 (the “Financial Statements”) and the notes thereto (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as well as our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time, including, but not limited to, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Terms not defined herein have the same meaning defined in the Financial Statements and the Notes.
Introduction to the Company
We are a U.S.-based gold and silver exploration-stage issuer that owns the Hycroft Mine in Nevada. Our focus is to transition the project to the next phase of operations by milling the sulfide mineralization. With the recent high-grade silver discoveries at Brimstone and Vortex, the Company is also engaged in a robust drill program to further define these areas as we optimize the development plan that delivers the highest risk-adjusted economic value. During this development period we do not anticipate significant revenues from gold and silver sales until we complete the necessary technical work and initiate mining and processing operations.

Health and Safety
We believe safety is a core value and support that belief through our philosophy of safe work performance. Our mandatory mine safety and health programs include employee engagement and ownership of safety performance, accountability, employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspections, emergency response, accident investigation, anti-harassment, and program auditing. This integrated approach is essential to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely.
We reported no lost-time incidents during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and continue to operate in excess of 1.5 million work hours without a lost-time incident. The Hycroft Mine’s total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) for the trailing 12 months, which includes other reportable incidents, is one of the metrics we use to assess safety performance, and it is well below industry averages. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications. These actions contributed to a TRIFR of 0.86 at September 30, 2026. We will continue to evolve our safety efforts to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

Executive Summary
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we continued to advance the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program, which is focused on expanding the two high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex. We completed approximately 12,900 meters of drilling during the period and approximately 18,700 meters of drilling under the program that began in August 2025.
We also continued to advance technical studies and project development initiatives following the filing of the Hycroft Mine Project S‑K 1300 Technical Report Summary and Initial Assessment with Economic Analysis, Nevada, USA with an effective date of May 14, 2026 (the “May 2026 Hycroft TRS”).
In addition, we continued to strengthen our liquidity position during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increasing our cash position while maintaining a debt-free balance sheet.

Recent Developments
Exploration drilling
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed approximately 12,900 meters of drilling toward the approximately 22,000 meters planned for 2026 under the 2025-2026 Exploration Drill Program that is focused on expanding the high-grade silver systems at Vortex and Brimstone. Since initiating the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program in August of 2025, we completed approximately 18,700 meters of drilling towards the original 26,000 meter program. Drilling in the Brimstone system is currently focused on two areas: (1) the main high-grade system to further extend the mineralization along
19

Table of Contents
strike and to the north and (2) the deep southern extension of Brimstone targeting the previously identified geophysics target indicating a potential feeder system at depth. Vortex drilling is focused on expanding the high-grade silver system which remains open in all directions and at depth. Results from this drilling continue to demonstrate high-grade growth in both systems. Additional results from both Brimstone, Vortex, and regional targets are anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2026 with the ongoing drill program. Reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling that began late in 2025 continues focusing on infill drilling and obtaining metallurgical information for evaluating a potential restart of the heap leach operations.
Appointment of a Chief Operating Officer
During the third quarter of 2026, we strengthened our leadership team through the appointment of Michael Deal as Chief Operating Officer, who brings extensive mining, operational, and technical experience. We believe this appointment enhances our leadership capabilities as it advances exploration, technical studies and development planning activities at the Hycroft Mine.
Appointment of Four New Independent Directors
On September 1, 2026, we expanded our Board of Directors through the appointment of four independent directors with extensive experience in mining operations, technical services, finance, and corporate governance. We believe these appointments strengthen the Board's industry expertise and provides additional leadership as we advance the Hycroft Mine toward the optimal development path.

2026 Outlook
We plan to continue operating safely and in an environmentally responsible manner while advancing the Hycroft Mine towards development of the sulfide mineral resources and expanding the two high-grade silver systems through ongoing exploration activities. In collaboration with our engineering firms, we have substantially completed the conceptual design of a high-grade underground mine and processing facility, which will be incorporated into the broader project optimization work planned for 2027. The current trade-off study between roasting and pressure oxidation (“POX”) processing methods is being finalized, with results expected to be released in the first quarter of 2027, while heap leach metallurgical test work is underway and is expected to be completed in the first half of 2027. We will continue to actively manage cash resources to fund these initiatives.

Table of Contents
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, General and administrative costs totaled $16.7 million and $66.0 million, respectively, as compared to $2.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025, primarily due to (i) discretionary restricted stock unit make‑whole awards with certain related cash payments, intended solely to compensate certain plan participants for the reductions to their cumulative target long-term incentive opportunities for 2023, 2024, and 2025 (collectively “Make-whole Awards”) of $45.0 million, of which $36.4 million was non-cash, (ii) a one‑time $4.5 million extraordinary cash bonus awarded to the Company's named executive officers and certain other employees to recognize the leadership team's execution of transformational financings completed during 2025, (iii) increased capital markets and investor relations activities, and (iv) increased personnel-related costs, including executive recruitment expenses and costs associated with the expanded leadership team and appointment of new members to the Board of Directors.
Exploration and development costs
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Exploration and development costs totaled $8.3 million and $26.5 million, respectively, as compared to $4.0 million and $9.3 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025, primarily due to (i) expanded drilling under the 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program, which is focused on expanding the new high-grade silver mineral systems, and (ii) Make‑whole Awards of $4.4 million, of which $3.6 million was non-cash.
Mine site costs
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Mine site costs totaled $3.9 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as compared to $2.5 million and $7.7 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025, primarily due to (i) Make‑whole Awards of $4.0 million, of which $3.1 million was non-cash, and (ii) the ramp up of activity to support the exploration drilling program.
Depreciation and amortization
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Depreciation and amortization totaled $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to $0.5 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025, primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated and modest capital additions in recent periods.
Asset retirement obligation adjustments and accretion
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Asset retirement obligation adjustments and accretion totaled $1.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively, as compared to $2.3 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company recognized an adjustment of $1.1 million and $6.9 million, respectively, resulting primarily from a change in estimate related to the extension of the mine life based on the May 2026 Hycroft TRS and updates to reclamation cost estimates and projected cash flows, which was partially offset by Accretion of $0.2 million and $0.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, there was a downward adjustment of $2.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2025, due to the change in estimated timing for the completion of certain reclamation activities, which was partially offset by Accretion of $0.3 million and $1.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

Interest income
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Interest income totaled $2.1 million and $5.8 million, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively for the same periods of 2025. The increase primarily resulted from the increase in invested cash.
Other income (expense), net
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Other expense totaled nil and $0.2 million, respectively, primarily due to foreign exchange losses and a loss on equity investment securities, respectively. For the same periods of 2025, Other income (expense), net totaled $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, primarily due to a gain on equity investment securities.
Interest expense
During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, Interest expense was nil, as compared to $3.6 million and $10.4 million, respectively, for the same periods of 2025. The decrease was due to the repayment and extinguishment of all outstanding debt during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s unrestricted cash position at September 30, 2026, was $211.2 million, as compared with $181.7 million at December 31, 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company raised cash primarily from the exercise of warrants and issuance of common stock under its at-the-market equity offering program (the “New ATM Program”), generating net proceeds of $43.4 million and $35.8 million, respectively. See Note 10 – Stockholders’ equity in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.
As the Company is an exploration and development stage company, it does not expect to generate net positive cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund the business. Based on its current forecasts and planned expenditures, the Company believes its current unrestricted cash balance is sufficient to fund its planned development and explorations activities, including advancing the two high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex, for the foreseeable future. Future development activities, changes in business objectives, acceleration of project advancement, adverse market conditions, or other unforeseen circumstances could require additional capital, and the amount and timing of any such requirements remain uncertain.

The Company’s future liquidity and capital resources management strategy entails a disciplined approach to monitor the timing and extent of any drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical studies while attempting to remain in a position that allows the Company to respond to changes in the business environment, such as a decrease in metal prices or lower than forecasted future cash flows, and changes in other factors beyond the Company’s control. The Company has undertaken efforts aimed at managing its liquidity and preserving its capital resources by, among other things: (i) monitoring metal prices and the impacts (near-term and future) they have on the business; (ii) ceasing open pit mining operations to reduce net cash outflows; (iii) reducing the size of the workforce to reflect the cessation of mining operations; (iv) controlling working capital and managing discretionary spending; (v) reviewing contractor usage and rental agreements for more economic options, including termination of certain agreements in accordance with their terms; (vi) decreasing Restricted cash balances that collateralize bonds, as available; (vii) planning the timing and amounts of capital expenditures and costs for drilling, metallurgical and technical studies costs at the Hycroft Mine; and (viii) deferring such items that are not expected to benefit our near term operating plans. The Company has undertaken and continues to undertake additional efforts, including: (i) monetizing non-core equipment and excess supplies inventories; (ii) selling uninstalled mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; and (iii) maintaining a debt-free balance sheet.
The Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital when necessary to fund the future development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.
Cash and liquidity
The Company has placed substantially all its cash in operating accounts with balances remaining readily available. A significant portion of the Company’s cash is invested in AAAm rated U.S. Government Money Market Funds, while other cash balances are held through programs that provide Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") coverage.

statements. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefit of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations.
Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. Although we base these forward-looking statements on assumptions that we believe are reasonable when made, we caution you that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that our actual results, performance or achievements may differ materially from those made in or suggested by the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, even if our results, performance, or achievements are consistent with the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, those results, performance or achievements may not be indicative of results, performance or achievements in subsequent periods.
Given these risks and uncertainties, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are not required, and such are omitted from this filing.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published Financial Statements. Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effectuated by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of Financial Statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company’s management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2026, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2026, to provide such reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC’s rules and forms.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in

decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Part II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company has been named as a defendant in three pending actions in the Delaware Chancery Court, as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, the Company filed responsive briefs to its previously filed motions to dismiss in these actions. The parties have entered into a stipulated briefing schedule governing the motions to dismiss. The motions to dismiss thus remain in the briefing phase and are pending as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

On September 23, 2026, a purported stockholder commenced a stockholder class and derivative action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Assad v. Sprott, et al., naming the Company as a nominal defendant. The action relates to, among other things, certain 2025 equity financings and equity awards, the Company's February 2026 bylaw amendment, and alleged trading in the Company's securities. The Company intend to defend against the action. The litigation is at an early stage, and the Company is unable at this time to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the amount or range of any possible loss, if any. Additional information regarding this matter is included in Note 17 – Commitments and contingencies.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES
The Company believes “the miner is the most important asset to come out of a mine,” and it supports this belief through its philosophy of continuous improvement. The Company’s mandated mine safety and health programs include employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. These programs are a focus for the Company’s leadership and top management and are essential at all levels to ensure the safety of employees, contractors, and visitors. The Company’s goal for these programs is to have zero workplace injuries or occupational illnesses, and it will focus on continuous improvement of its programs and practices to achieve this goal. We are implementing programs and practices to align our safety culture with that goal.
