Initial capital is estimated at $2.4 billion and sustaining capital at $3.1 billion, with projected cash costs of $1,924/oz AuEq and AISC of $2,147/oz AuEq.

The report is an Initial Assessment, not a feasibility or pre-feasibility study, and is based only on measured and indicated mineral resources; inferred resources and certain low-grade stockpiles are excluded from the economic analysis.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation announced that it will be added to the broad-market Russell 3000® Index, effective at the open of U.S. equity markets on June 29, 2026. This reflects its current market capitalization ranking within the U.S. equity universe.

The company is a U.S.-based gold and silver developer advancing the Hycroft Mine in northern Nevada, described as one of the world’s largest precious metals deposits. Hycroft is running a 2025–2026 exploration drill program to expand two high-grade silver systems discovered in 2023 and is working to transition the mine from oxide heap leach to a milling operation for sulfide mineralization.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported board and governance actions following its 2026 virtual annual stockholder meeting. The board appointed CEO Diane R. Garrett as Executive Chairman while she continues as Chief Executive Officer, consolidating leadership at both management and board levels. Former Chairman Thomas S. Weng was named Lead Independent Director, maintaining independent oversight on the board.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported its first quarter 2026 results and a corporate update, highlighting safety, liquidity and resource growth at the Hycroft Mine in Nevada. The company maintained an injury-free record with a 0.00 total recordable injury frequency rate and more than 1.4 million work hours without a lost-time incident.

Hycroft ended the quarter with $189.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt, and reported an approximately 55% increase in measured and indicated resources to 16.4 million ounces of gold and 562.6 million ounces of silver, plus additional inferred ounces. It also outlined 2026 plans to expand drilling, complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment for sulfide milling, evaluate processing options, and advance work on a potential heap leach restart and future development.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation furnished an update correcting an earlier press release about engineering work for the Hycroft Mine. The company clarifies that WSP Global Inc. completed engineering for additional lifts on the tailings storage facility, while WestLand Engineering & Environmental Services, Inc. completed the environmental studies.

With this work finished, Ausenco Engineering South USA, Inc. can complete the Initial Assessment Technical Report with economics, which the company anticipates will be finished during the second quarter of 2026. The rest of the original press release remains unchanged, and the information is furnished under Regulation FD rather than filed.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation filed a current report describing new steps in advancing its Nevada Hycroft Mine and recent market recognition. The company has engaged RESPEC Company LLC to assess underground mining options for newly discovered high-grade silver systems at Brimstone and Vortex, including mining methods, conceptual design, and schedules.

Hycroft is also evaluating an exploration decline to improve underground drill access and potentially support future production, noting that the Brimstone system begins about 30 meters below the existing pit. Separately, engineering for additional lifts on the tailings storage facility has been completed by WestLand, allowing Ausenco to complete an Initial Assessment Technical Report with economics, which the company anticipates in the second quarter of 2026. Hycroft further highlights its inclusion in the VanEck Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ), which broadens its visibility among global precious metals investors.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation has appointed Eric Colby as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development, effective April 16, 2026.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported new high-grade drill results from its 2025–2026 Exploration Drill Program at the Vortex zone of the Hycroft Mine in Nevada and provided a corporate cash and compensation update.

Key hole H25D-6083 intersected 53.4 meters grading 304.14 g/t silver and 1.33 g/t gold, including 7.0 meters at 1,241.97 g/t silver and 6.59 g/t gold, and a 0.9-meter interval at 2,890.00 g/t silver and 33.70 g/t gold. Management stated these results support the geological model and suggest the Vortex and Brimstone systems are more extensive than previously understood, with both remaining open in all directions and at depth.

The company plans follow-up drilling and is expanding the exploration program with two additional core rigs. Hycroft ended the first quarter of 2026 with approximately $189 million in unrestricted cash and no debt. In the same quarter it recorded about $33.8 million of pre-tax expenses tied to Board-approved compensation actions, with around $19.4 million of cash used for restricted stock unit make-whole awards and a one-time extraordinary bonus recognizing execution of 2025 financings.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation filed a current report describing new drill results from its 2025-2026 exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in Nevada. The company reports very high-grade silver intercepts at the Brimstone target, including 542.78 g/t silver over 35.5 meters and 1,187.29 g/t silver over 14.8 meters within that interval.

Drilling confirmed the Brimstone silver system extends about 150 meters deeper than previously known and remains open at depth and laterally. Hycroft completed 11 holes in 2025 and has finished 6 core holes so far in 2026, with additional rigs being mobilized as it works to define the scale and continuity of the high-grade system.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported major progress alongside filing its 2025 Form 10-K. The company ended 2025 debt-free with cash and cash equivalents of $181.7 million, increasing to $194.1 million as of February 28, 2026 after warrant exercises and early 2026 spending.

Hycroft increased measured and indicated resources by about 55% to 16.4 million ounces of gold and 562.6 million ounces of silver, plus additional inferred ounces, and defined an initial high-grade silver resource with underground potential. The 2025–2026 drill program is the largest under current management, targeting high-grade silver systems and heap leach material.

The company maintained an injury-free safety record with a 0.00 total recordable injury frequency rate over 1.4 million work hours, eliminated the Crofoot net profits royalty for $2.5 million, and acquired Crofoot sulfur and other mineral rights for $1.5 million. Management highlighted more than 950% total shareholder return in 2025 and noted that its Preliminary Economic Assessment timeline has been extended to reflect the significantly larger resource base and updated mine plan.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation filed an amended report to correct a production error in its previously filed Hycroft Mine Initial Assessment and Technical Report Summary (Exhibit 96.1). Certain images in the original exhibit were inadvertently misplaced by the financial printer.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed solely to refile Exhibit 96.1 in corrected form, with no changes to the underlying text, data, conclusions, or estimates. The company also highlighted completion of the TRS, effective January 21, 2026, which was prepared under subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K and supersedes a prior March 27, 2023 report.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation reported a new Technical Report Summary and updated Mineral Resource estimate for its Hycroft Mine, showing about 55% growth in measured and indicated gold and silver resources. The updated estimate totals 16.4 million ounces of gold and 562.6 million ounces of silver in measured and indicated categories.

The company also outlined a new high-grade underground silver resource of 90.2 million ounces and reported metallurgical test work indicating robust recoveries of 83% for gold and 78% for silver using milling and pressure oxidation. Hycroft is additionally evaluating a roasting alternative that could generate by-product sulfuric acid revenue while it advances the project toward potential commercial operation.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation announced that director Stephen A. Lang will not stand for reelection at the 2026 annual meeting due to health reasons. He will remain on the Board and continue as Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, and as a member of the Compensation and Safety and Technical Committees, until that meeting. The company stated his decision was not due to any disagreement.

The Board set May 7, 2026 as the date of the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. Because this date is more than 30 days earlier than the 2025 meeting anniversary, Hycroft reset key stockholder deadlines. Proposals under Rule 14a-8 and director nominations or other proposals under the bylaws must be received by February 16, 2026. Persons planning to solicit proxies in support of alternative director nominees under Rule 14a-19 must notify the company by March 8, 2026.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation amended its bylaws to change the shareholder meeting quorum requirement. The new rule states that, unless otherwise required, a quorum is reached when holders present in person or by proxy represent one-third of the voting power of all shares entitled to vote.

When a specific class or series of shares votes separately on a matter, a quorum for that class or series is met when holders present represent one-third of the voting power of the outstanding shares of that class or series. The amendment was approved and adopted by the company’s board of directors.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation approved significant equity and cash compensation changes for its senior executives. After shareholders authorized 3,500,000 additional shares under the new equity plan, the Board granted “make-whole” restricted stock unit (RSU) awards and related cash to restore reduced long-term incentive opportunities from 2023–2025.

For example, CEO Diane R. Garrett received 88,035 fully vested RSUs and a $4,532,979 cash award, plus RSUs vesting through January 27, 2028. Other named executive officers received smaller but similar grants and vesting schedules. The Board also created a one-time extraordinary bonus pool of $4.5 million to recognize 2025 financing achievements, including cash payments of $1,500,000 to Garrett and between $769,000 and $850,000 to each other named executive, with 50% of each award subject to a clawback if the executive leaves within 12 months.
