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.

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.

5 terms
sell-to-cover transaction financial
"eligible sell-to-cover transaction within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1"
A sell-to-cover transaction is when a person granted company stock (for example as part of compensation or option exercise) immediately sells enough of those shares to pay required taxes or exercise costs and keeps the rest. Think of it like cashing part of a bonus to cover the tax bill; it provides necessary cash without the holder needing outside funds. Investors watch these sales because they increase trading volume and slightly reduce insider holdings, but they often reflect routine tax or cost management rather than a judgment on the company’s prospects.
net smelter return royalty financial
"grant at closing of a one percent net smelter return royalty"
A net smelter return (NSR) royalty is a contractual right to receive a percentage of the revenue from minerals sold after they are processed and refined, with common deductions for transportation and refining fees. Investors care because an NSR provides a predictable slice of mining project income without owning the mine, so it affects expected cash flow, risk exposure to commodity prices, and the valuation of both the royalty and the operating project—similar to collecting a portion of rent after paying building maintenance costs.
multi-draw Bridge Facility financial
"closed a senior secured multi-draw Bridge Facility"
A multi-draw bridge facility is a short-term loan structure that lets a company take several separate withdrawals of cash over an agreed period to cover immediate needs until permanent financing is secured. It matters to investors because it provides temporary liquidity and can change a company’s risk profile — for example by increasing debt or triggering conditions that affect ownership or credit terms — similar to using a line of credit to tide you over until a longer-term mortgage is approved.
equity method investees financial
"Share of loss (income) of equity method investees"
Equity method investees are companies in which an investor owns a substantial minority stake and can influence decisions but does not control them, typically through holding around 20–50% of voting shares. The investor records its share of the investee’s profits or losses on its own income statement and adjusts the carrying value of the investment, similar to reporting your share of profits from a jointly owned shop. For investors, these holdings matter because they affect reported earnings, balance-sheet exposure, and the firm’s economic risk without full consolidation of the investee’s assets and liabilities.

1. Background and basis of preparation:
Ivanhoe Electric Inc. (“Ivanhoe Electric” or “the Company”) is a United States based minerals exploration and development company with a focus on copper and other critical metals vital to electric transmission and generation, manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security. The Company’s mineral exploration efforts focus on copper as well as other metals including nickel, cobalt, platinum group elements, gold and silver. The Company’s projects include the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona.
In addition to mineral projects in the United States, the Company also holds direct and indirect ownership interests, and in some cases controlling financial interests, in other non-U.S. mineral projects, and in proprietary mineral exploration and minerals-based technologies.
The Company holds a 50 % interest in a joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company (“Maaden”) to explore prospective land in Saudi Arabia.
The Company conducts the following business activities through certain subsidiaries:
•VRB Energy Inc. (“VRB”) is establishing a United States-based grid scale vanadium redox flow battery manufacturing business. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in VRB of 90.0 % as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — 90.0 %). VRB also holds a 49 % interest in VRB Energy System (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (“VRB China”) which operates in the same industry in China.
•Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), provides data analytics, geophysical modeling, software licensing and artificial intelligence services for the mineral, energy (oil & gas and geothermal) and water exploration industries. Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in CGI of 94.3 % as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — 94.3 %).
•Cordoba Minerals Corp. (“Cordoba”) sold the Alacrán copper-gold project in northern Colombia in March 2026 (Note 13). Ivanhoe Electric had an ownership interest in Cordoba of 59.3 % as at September 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025 — 60.8 %).
The accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Therefore, this information should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes contained on its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information furnished herein reflects all normal recurring entries, that are in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which presumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
References to “$” refer to United States dollars.

Recent accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This update was issued to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and address requests from investors for more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The Company is required to adopt ASU 2024-03 on January 1, 2027, and is currently evaluating the expected impact on the consolidated financial statements.
3. Use of estimates:
The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The significant judgments made by management in applying the Company’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.
4. Cash and cash equivalents:

On April 1, 2026, VRB received $5.0 million of the second tranche payment, while the remainder is still outstanding. The Company reduced the provision for expected credit loss by $5.0 million and continues to carry a provision of $5.3 million due to prolonged delinquency, an absence of contractual modification and a high degree of risk and uncertainty with cross-border collection risk and contractual remedies.

| Balance at September 30, 2026 | $ | ||||||||||||||||
On July 8, 2021, VRB issued a convertible bond for gross proceeds of $24.0 million. The bond had a five-year term and interest accrues at a rate of 8 % per annum.
On July 1, 2026, VRB entered into an agreement to extend the maturity date of the convertible bond to December 31, 2026. All other terms and conditions of the convertible bond are unchanged.
Prior to the maturity date, the convertible bond is automatically converted into equity of VRB upon an equity financing or sale event, at a price per share equal to the lower of:
•the transaction price of the equity financing or sale event; and
•the valuation cap price of $158.0 million divided by the total shares outstanding at the time of the event.
If no equity financing or sale event occurs, VRB must repay the outstanding principal and interest on maturity.
The Company has accounted for the convertible bond, including its embedded features, as a debt instrument accounted at amortized cost, as it was determined the embedded features are not required to be bifurcated.
10. Equity:
(a) Common stock transactions:
As at December 31, 2025, the Company had 11.6 million warrants outstanding, exercisable to purchase one share of Ivanhoe Electric stock at $7.00 per share. In January and February 2026, all of the warrants were exercised for proceeds of $81.5 million.
(b) Stock-based compensation:
Stock-based payment compensation was allocated to operations as follows:

(i) Stock-settled restricted stock units ("RSU’s"):
On March 6, 2026, the Company granted 454,112 stock settled RSU's to certain officers and employees of the Company. The RSU’s vest in three equal tranches beginning one year from the grant date. The fair value of the stock-settled RSU’s is amortized over the vesting period. The total grant date fair value of these RSU's was $6.0 million based on a grant date share price of $13.13 per share.
(ii) Performance share units ("PSU's"):
On March 6, 2026, the Company granted PSU's to certain officers and employees of the Company. The PSU's vest on December 31, 2028, with the number of units to vest determined by Ivanhoe Electric’s share price performance against constituents from a Base Metals Index. The number of units to vest ranges between zero

17. Segment reporting:
The Company’s President & Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) of the Company. The CODM evaluates how the Company allocates resources, assesses performance and makes strategic and operational decisions. Based upon such evaluation, the Company has determined that it has four reportable segments. The Company’s reportable segments are the Santa Cruz Copper Project, critical metals, data processing and energy storage.
The Santa Cruz Copper Project and critical metals segments are focused on mineral exploration and developing mines from mineral deposits principally located in the United States. The Santa Cruz Copper Project is at a more advanced stage relative to most of the Company’s other mineral exploration projects and its discrete financial information and operating results are regularly reviewed by the CODM in order to make decisions about resource allocation and assess performance.
The data processing segment provides data analytics, geophysical modeling and artificial intelligence services for the mineral, oil & gas and water exploration industries. The energy storage segment develops, manufactures and installs vanadium flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
You should read the following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) and with our audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 included in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act"), that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements based on our current expectations, assumptions, estimates and projections about future events, our business, our financial condition, results of operations and prospects, our industry and the regulatory environment in which we operate. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Those statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to: estimated calculations of mineral reserves and resources at our properties including changes in those estimated calculations, anticipated results and timing of exploration activities, timing of studies for advancing or developing our properties, plans and objectives, industry trends, our requirements for additional capital, treatment under applicable government regimes for permitting or attaining approvals, government regulation, environmental risks, title disputes or claims, synergies of potential future acquisitions, the projected, forecast or anticipated economic parameters of our mineral projects (including capital cost, operating cost, net present value, internal rate of return and other parameters), and our anticipated uses of the net proceeds from offerings of our securities or other fundraising activities. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “might,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “achieve,” “budget,” “scheduled,” “forecasts,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements may include projections of our future financial performance, the development of our mineral properties, our anticipated growth strategies and anticipated trends in our industry. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions concerning future events that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual future events or results may differ materially from these statements. We believe that the factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following: we will require substantial capital investment in the future and we may be unable to raise additional capital on favorable terms or at all; our mineral projects are at the exploration or development stage and are subject to the significant risks and uncertainties associated with mineral exploration and development; our Santa Cruz Copper Project is subject to significant risks associated with mine construction and commissioning, including possible delays, cost overruns, and unanticipated technical problems in addition to the need to obtain all required permits and necessary funding; the Preliminary Feasibility Study (the "2026 Study") for our Santa Cruz Copper Project includes estimates and assumptions to project potential economic viability and actual economic outcomes may vary greatly from those set forth in the 2026 Study; we have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects; we depend solely on our material project for our future operations; our mineral resource and reserve calculations and economic projections relating to our properties are only estimates; actual capital costs, operating costs, production and economic returns at any future mine may differ significantly from those we have anticipated; the title to some of the mineral properties may be uncertain or defective; our business is subject to changes in the prices of copper, gold, silver, nickel, cobalt, vanadium and platinum group metals; we have had claims and legal proceedings against one of our subsidiary's subsidiaries; our business is subject to significant risk and hazards associated with future mining operations; we may fail to identify attractive acquisition candidates or joint ventures with strategic partners or be unable to successfully integrate acquired mineral properties; we may fail to successfully manage joint ventures and are reliant on our joint venture partners to comply with their obligations; our business is extensively regulated by the United States and foreign governments as well as local governments; we and the VRB China Joint Venture may not receive the anticipated payments from Red Sun in connection with the VRB China Joint Venture transaction in full or in a timely manner; the requirements that we obtain, maintain and renew environmental, construction and mining permits are often a costly and time-consuming process; our non-U.S. operations are subject to additional political, economic and other uncertainties not generally associated with domestic operations; we may be adversely affected by current or future military conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine/Russia or other jurisdictions; our activities may be hindered, delayed or have to cease as a result of climate change effects, including increased and excessive heating and the potential for forest fires at many of our properties; our operations may be impacted by public health emergencies, pandemics, epidemics, or similar events, including impacts to the availability of our workforce, government orders that may require
18
temporary suspension of operations, and the global economy; we may be adversely affected by tariff and trade actions; and delays in the delivery or assembly of the TBM and failure of the TBM to function as expected may create material delays or add material additional costs related to the construction and development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project.
You should carefully consider these risks, as well as the additional risks described in other documents we file with the SEC. We also operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in, or implied by, any forward-looking statements.
These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K, as updated from time to time by subsequent filings. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are disclosed under “Risk Factors” in the 2025 Form 10-K. These risks and uncertainties, as well as other risks of which we are not aware or which we currently do not believe to be material, may cause our actual future results to be materially different than those expressed in our forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. We do not undertake any obligation to make any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as required by law.
Business Overview
We are a United States-based, technology-driven minerals exploration and development company with a focus on copper and other critical metals vital to electric transmission and generation, manufacturing, infrastructure development, technology, and national security. Our wholly owned assets are located in the United States. We operate exploration joint ventures and alliances in Saudi Arabia, Chile and the United States. We use our powerful Typhoon™ geophysical surveying system, together with advanced data analytics provided by our 94.3%-owned subsidiary, Computational Geosciences Inc. (“CGI”), to accelerate and de-risk the mineral exploration process in the search for new deposits of critical metals that may otherwise be undetectable by traditional exploration technologies. We believe the United States is significantly underexplored and has the potential to yield major new discoveries of critical metals.
Through the advancement of our portfolio of critical metals exploration and development projects, headlined by the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona, we intend to contribute to domestic supply by developing resources that support industrial and strategic sectors. We also operate a 50/50 joint venture with Saudi Arabian Mining Company ("Maaden") to explore for minerals on ~50,000 km2 of underexplored Arabian Shield in Saudi Arabia. In 2024, we established an exploration alliance with BHP Mineral Resources Inc. (“BHP”), a subsidiary of BHP Group Limited, to search for critical minerals in the United States. Finally, in 2026, we established a Typhoon™ driven exploration collaboration with Sociedad Química y Minera de Chile (“SQM”), to explore for copper in northern Chile.
Our other mineral projects in the United States include the Tintic Project, located in Utah, the Hog Heaven Copper-Silver-Gold Project, located in Montana, the Bristol Project located in Nevada, and the Gleeson, Lomitas Negras, Globe-Miami and Perseverance Projects in Arizona.
In addition to our mineral projects, we also own a 90.0% controlling interest in VRB Energy Inc. ("VRB Energy"), which itself owns 100% of VRB Energy USA Inc.

Business Developments in the Quarter and Subsequent Period
Santa Cruz Copper Project (100% owned)
2026 Preliminary Feasibility Study
On September 23, 2026, we announced the completion of the 2026 Preliminary Feasibility Study (the "2026 Study") for our 100%-owned Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona.
Situated entirely on private land in Arizona, the Santa Cruz Copper Project is poised to become a major domestic producer of 99.99% pure refined copper cathode. The highly engineered 2026 Study incorporates The Robbins Company’s
19
Crossover Tunnel Boring Machine (“TBM”), manufactured in Solon, Ohio, for mine access. The 2026 Study confirms the strong economics of a modern, high-grade underground copper mining operation and heap leach processing facility supported by advanced technologies.
The 2026 Study also reflects the continued advancement of detailed design and engineering, and updated cost estimates based on current market conditions.
The findings of the 2026 Study include that the Santa Cruz Copper Project is projected to produce 1.4 million tonnes of copper cathode over a 24-year mine life. With a base case copper price of $4.75/lb, the Santa Cruz Copper Project has an after-tax Net Present Value of $1.5 billion at an 8% discount rate and an Internal Rate of Return of 19%. The initial project capital is estimated at $1.4 billion.
Project Financing
On August 24, 2026, we announced that Ivanhoe Electric received a Preliminary Project Letter (“PPL”) from the Export-Import Bank of the United States (“US EXIM”) for potential debt financing of up to $1.1 billion to support development of our Santa Cruz Copper Project. The PPL is an increase from US EXIM’s original $825 million of potential funding support stated in its April 2025 Letter of Interest. The PPL marks the completion of US EXIM’s preliminary due diligence on the Santa Cruz Copper Project and is a key step in US EXIM’s financing process.
The PPL does not constitute a financing commitment, and any financing remains subject to completion of EXIM Bank’s review and approval process. The Company is anticipating final US EXIM Board consideration during the spring of 2027.
Maaden Joint Venture (50% owned)
On July 7, 2026, we entered into an Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement (“A&R Shareholders Agreement”) with Maaden, governing the Joint Venture. The A&R Shareholders Agreement amends and restates the Shareholders Agreement dated July 6, 2023, as amended (collectively, the “Prior Agreement”).
The A&R Shareholders Agreement includes certain new provisions not contained in the Prior Agreement including, but not limited to:
•The Joint Venture and its subsidiaries may now acquire exploration licenses and mining licenses directly in the name of the Joint Venture (“Joint Venture Land”) rather than only accessing such licenses held by Maaden;
•If the Joint Venture chooses not to pursue Joint Venture Land, any shareholder may pursue such rights individually with no risk or benefit to the Joint Venture;
•Certain loans made by a shareholder to the Joint Venture to cover any shortfall in funding by the other shareholder shall now be repaid in priority to other shareholder loans;
•The approval of the Joint Venture board of directors is now only required to hire or terminate certain senior executives;
•The technical committee of the Joint Venture is now given more authority to reallocate funds within a board approved budget and approve non-material amendments to a previously approved exploration program, without needing board approval in each instance;
•The exploration term of the Joint Venture will now run for ten (10) years from the effective date, ending now on July 6, 2033; and
•General clean up matters relating to prior amendments.
The Prior Agreement, as amended and restated by the A&R Shareholders Agreement, established a limited liability company under Saudi law and sets out the terms governing the relationship of the parties with respect to the Joint Venture. It provides for the Company and Maaden to participate in the 50/50 Joint Venture which had an initial term of five years but extendable to ten (10) years, now expiring on July 6, 2033.
Management Updates
On August 1, 2026, Alex Neufeld was promoted to Senior Vice President of Exploration, replacing in that role Graham Boyd who resigned effective August 1, 2026.
On September 1, 2026, Michelle Lammers joined the Company as Chief Operating Officer.

Segments
We account for our business in four business segments – (i) Santa Cruz Copper Project (ii) Critical Metals, (iii) Data Processing Services and (iv) Energy Storage.
Significant Components of Results of Operations
Revenue, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit
We have not generated any revenue from our mineral projects because they are in the exploration or development stage.
We generate some revenue from our technology businesses, CGI and VRB Energy, which is included in the data processing business segment and energy storage systems business segments, respectively.
CGI generates revenue from the sale of data processing services to the mining, energy (oil & gas and geothermal), and water industries. In prior years, CGI has also generated revenue from software licensing.
VRB Energy generates revenue from developing, manufacturing and selling vanadium redox flow energy storage systems. Prior to October 2024, all of VRB Energy’s revenue was generated by VRB China. In October 2024, VRB Energy reduced its ownership interest in VRB China to 49% and commenced equity accounting for this investment. Since 2025, VRB Energy has been focused on progressing its Arizona-based business, VRB USA, which has not yet generated any revenue.
Exploration and Evaluation Expenses
Direct costs for the acquisition of mineral exploration rights, including option payments, are capitalized and recorded initially at cost as exploration properties. Exploration and evaluation costs are expensed in the period incurred until such time as it has been determined that a mineral property is commercially feasible, in which case subsequent exploration and evaluation costs incurred to develop a mineral property are capitalized. Commercial feasibility is generally established when a mineral property has proven and probable reserves, permits or rights to extract the resources and reserves have been obtained and financing to develop the property has been approved.
Exploration and evaluation expenses include topographical, geological, geochemical and geophysical studies, exploratory drilling, trenching, sampling and activities in relation to identifying a mineral resource and then evaluating the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource, as well as value-added taxes in relation to these direct exploration and evaluation costs incurred in foreign jurisdictions where recoverability of those taxes is uncertain. Exploration and evaluation expenses also include salaries, benefits and non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of the employees performing these activities.
Exploration and evaluation expenses also include payments under earn-in and option agreements where the option right is with respect to ownership interests in legal entities owning the underlying mineral project in the exploration project phase. Through our earn-in and option agreements, we have the right (and in some cases, the obligation) to fund and conduct exploration on the underlying mineral project prior to determining whether to acquire a minority or majority ownership interest through further funding the costs of such exploration and, in some cases, through direct payments to the owners of the project. In the event we cease making expenditures on an exploration mineral project or fail to incur the agreed level of exploration and evaluation expenditures, we will not obtain an ownership right beyond any that may have been acquired as of the date of termination.
Included in exploration and evaluation expenses are early stage projects and exploration costs that we incur in relation to generating new projects that may or may not proceed to earn-in agreements depending on our evaluation. These are categorized as “Project generation and other”.
General and Administrative Expenses
Our general and administrative expenses consist of salaries and benefits, stock-based compensation expense, professional and consultant fees, insurance and other general administration costs.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, we recorded a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $30.8 million ($0.19 per share), compared to $17.5 million ($0.13 per share) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, which was an increase of $13.3 million. Significant contributors to this change for the three months ended September 30, 2026 included an increase of $6.2 million in exploration and evaluation expenditures and an increase of $9.7 million in share of loss of equity method investees. These increases were offset by a decrease of $1.0 million in general and administrative expenses and a $4.0 million gain on revaluation of an investment subject to significant influence that is carried at fair value.
Exploration and evaluation expenses were $20.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $6.2 million from $14.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. Exploration and evaluation expenses consisted of the following:

•During the three months ended September 30, 2026, exploration and evaluation expenditures largely focused on activities at the Santa Cruz Copper Project where $11.0 million of expenditure was incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2026, compared to $4.4 million incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2025. Activities during the three months ended September 30, 2026 at the Santa Cruz Copper Project focused on permitting, updating the Preliminary Feasibility Study for our Santa Cruz Project that was released on June 23, 2025 (the "2025 PFS") to incorporate the engineering details of the TBM and material handling system, conducting optimization studies, and performing geotechnical drilling to support detailed engineering design in the new 2026 Study. The 2026 Study was released on September 23, 2026. The exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2025 were focused on conducting optimization studies and detailed engineering;
•The Gleeson Project in Arizona where $4.7 million of expenditure was incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $0.2 million incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2025. We commenced drilling in November 2025. Activities during the three months ended September 30, 2026, were focused on testing copper-gold porphyry and polymetallic skarn and carbonate-replacement targets. Also, additional land purchases and leases have been executed; and
•Project generation and other includes exploration and evaluation expenses for early stage projects and exploration costs that we incur in relation to generating new projects that may or may not proceed to earn-in agreements depending on our evaluation.
General and administrative expenses were $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $1.0 million from $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The main contributor to the decrease was a $0.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses incurred at Cordoba which were $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was due to activities and personnel at Cordoba reducing since the sale of the Alacrán Project on March 5, 2026. In addition, stock-based compensation expense decreased $0.5 million, from $2.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to the change in the mix of long-term incentive compensation following the transition from stock options to performance share units ("PSU's") in 2025, which have different vesting schedules.
22
Share of loss of equity method investees was $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026, a change of $9.7 million from a $4.4 million share of income of equity method investees for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The share of loss of equity method investees of $5.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 consisted of a $3.9 million share of the loss from the Maaden Joint Venture and a $1.5 million share of loss from the VRB China Joint Venture.
CGI’s software licensing and data processing services to the mining and energy industries represented 100% of our revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 ($0.7 million) and 100% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 ($0.5 million). VRB did not generate revenue during these periods. CGI’s revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2026 was $0.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million from $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase in CGI’s revenue was a result of more data processing services being performed.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 we recorded a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $13.7 million ($0.09 per share), compared to a net loss of $71.9 million ($0.55 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which was a change of $58.2 million. The most significant contributor to this change for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was the gain of $124.7 million being realized on Cordoba's sale of the Alacrán Copper Project in Colombia in March 2026. Also contributing to the change for nine months ended September 30, 2026, was an $8.0 million gain recorded on the divestment of the Pinaya Project, a $5.0 million credit loss provision reversal related to the 2024 sale of VRB China and a decrease of $4.2 million in general and administrative expenses. Offsetting these was an increase of $20.9 million in exploration and evaluation expenditures.
On March 5, 2026, Cordoba sold its remaining 50% interest in the Alacrán Project for total cash proceeds of $128 million. Under the terms of the sale, the net cash proceeds remaining after settling all outstanding liabilities, and retaining $10 million for ongoing corporate purposes, would be distributed to Cordoba shareholders. On March 25, 2026, Ivanhoe Electric received a $58.4 million cash payment as part of Cordoba's distribution. As a result of these transactions, Ivanhoe Electric has recorded a $124.7 million gain on the sale of Alacrán.
Exploration and evaluation expenses were $65.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, an increase of $20.9 million from $44.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Exploration and evaluation expenses consisted of the following:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, exploration and evaluation expenditures largely focused on activities at:
•The Santa Cruz Copper Project where $31.1 million of expenditure was incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $16.4 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 at the Santa Cruz Copper Project focused on permitting, updating the 2025 PFS to incorporate the engineering details of the TBM and material handling system, conducting optimization studies, and performing geotechnical drilling to support detailed engineering design in the new 2026 Study. The updated 2026 Study was released on September 23, 2026. The exploration and evaluation expenditures incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were focused on the technical
23
engineering studies required to support the 2025 PFS and conducting optimization studies and detailed engineering;
•The Gleeson Project in Arizona where $11.3 million of expenditure was incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $0.5 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. We commenced drilling in November 2025. Activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were focused on testing copper-gold porphyry and polymetallic skarn and carbonate-replacement targets. Also, additional land purchases and leases have been executed;
•The Hog Heaven Project where $4.6 million of expenditure was incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $1.7 million incurred in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 were focused on testing high-sulfidation epithermal mineralization following up on previous exploration success from 2025. Drilling was completed on April 23, 2026;
•The Alacrán Project where $3.3 million of expenditure was incurred by Cordoba in 2026 prior to its sale on March 5, 2026. These pre-sale activities in 2026 were focused on detailed engineering design of the Alacrán mine and consultation associated with the Environmental Impact Assessment process; and
•Project generation and other includes exploration and evaluation expenses for early stage projects and exploration costs that we incur in relation to generating new projects that may or may not proceed to earn-in agreements depending on our evaluation.
General and administrative expenses were $26.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, a decrease of $4.2 million from $30.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The main contributor to the decrease was a $2.5 million decrease in general and administrative expenses incurred at Cordoba which were $1.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 compared to $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. This decrease was due to activities and personnel at Cordoba reducing since the sale of the Alacrán Project on March 5, 2026. Also, contributing to the decrease was a $0.8 million decrease in directors and officers' insurance expenses from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $1.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2026 due to a decrease in premiums. In addition, stock-based compensation expense decreased by $1.2 million, from $7.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 to $6.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily attributable to the change in the mix of long-term incentive compensation following the transition from stock options to PSU’s in 2025, which have different vesting schedules.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026 we recorded an $8.0 million gain on the divestment of the Pinaya Gold-Copper Project as a result of the April 27, 2026 sale of the project to Panam Copper. At the time of the transaction the net assets of the disposal group were $nil. We recognized a gain on the divestment of $8.0 million based on the fair value of consideration received.
CGI’s software licensing and data processing services to the mining and energy industries represented 100% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 ($2.3 million) and 100% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 ($2.3 million). VRB did not generate revenue during these periods. CGI’s revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $2.3 million, which was consistent with the $2.3 million recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Stock-Based Compensation
On March 6, 2026, as part of our long term incentive plan the following equity incentives were granted to certain of our officers and employees:
•454,112 stock-settled restricted stock units ("RSU's") that vest in three equal tranches beginning one year from the grant date. The fair value of the stock-settled RSU’s is amortized over the vesting period. The total fair value of the grant was $6.0 million.
•PSU's that vest on December 31, 2028, with the number of units to vest determined by our share price performance against constituents from a Base Metals Index. The number of units to vest ranges between zero times to two times the target number of PSU's. The total target number of PSU's is 405,360. The total fair value of the grant was $7.1 million.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Capital Requirements
Cash Resources
We have recurring net losses and negative operating cash flows and we expect that we will continue to operate at a loss until we are able to generate revenue from our mining projects and such revenue exceeds our expenses. We cannot assure you that any of our mining projects will advance to commercial production or be profitable once in commercial production.
We have funded our operations primarily through the sale of our equity securities and divestitures of non-core assets.
At September 30, 2026, we had cash and cash equivalents of $214.8 million and a working capital balance of $173.8 million. Of the total cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2026, $22.4 million was not available for the general corporate purposes of the Company as these amounts were held by non-wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In December 2025, we closed a $200.0 million senior secured multi-draw Bridge Facility from a syndicate of three international financial institutions (the "Bridge Facility"). The Bridge Facility will support the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project by providing enhanced liquidity for early construction activities and working capital requirements. The Bridge Facility is currently undrawn.
As at November 5, 2026, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to carry out our business plans for at least the next 12 months, after which we expect to need additional financing to further advance our projects and conduct our business. We have based these estimates on our current assumptions, which may require future adjustments based on our ongoing business and development decisions. Accordingly, we may require additional cash resources earlier than we currently expect or we may need to curtail currently planned activities.
On August 24, 2026, we announced that Ivanhoe Electric received a PPL from US EXIM for potential debt financing of up to $1.1 billion to support development of our Santa Cruz Copper Project. The PPL is an increase from US EXIM’s original $825 million of potential funding support stated in its April 2025 Letter of Interest. The PPL marks the completion of US EXIM’s preliminary due diligence on the Santa Cruz Copper Project and is a key step in US EXIM’s financing process.
EXIM Bank is the official export credit agency of the United States. It is a government agency that offers financial support to companies through means such as direct loans and loan guarantees, working capital guarantees, and export credit insurance.
The PPL does not constitute a financing commitment, and any financing remains subject to completion of EXIM Bank’s review and approval process. The Company is anticipating final US EXIM Board consideration during the spring of 2027.
We are assessing EXIM Bank’s interest together with other financing alternatives available to us for the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project. The construction of the Santa Cruz Copper Project will require additional capital beyond the amount that EXIM Bank may make available.
We may seek additional financing at any time through debt, equity, project specific debt, and/or other means, including asset sales. Our continued operations are dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing or to generate future cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital on terms favorable to us, or at all.

Convertible Bond — VRB Energy
On July 8, 2021, VRB Energy issued a convertible bond for gross proceeds of $24.0 million. As amended in July 2026, the bond has a five-and-a-half-year term and interest accrues at a rate of 8% per annum. Prior to the maturity date, the convertible bond will be automatically converted into equity of VRB Energy upon an equity financing or sale event, at a price per share equal to the lower of (A) the transaction price of the equity financing or sale event, and (B) the valuation cap price of $158.0 million divided by the total shares outstanding at the time of the event. If no equity financing or sale event occurs or other agreed restructuring of the convertible bond with its holder occurs, VRB Energy must repay the outstanding principal and interest on maturity in December 2026.
On July 1, 2026, VRB Energy and the bond holder entered into an agreement whereby the parties mutually agreed to extend the maturity date of the convertible bond to December 31, 2026. All other terms and conditions remained the same.
At September 30, 2026, the balance of principal and interest on the bond was $35.9 million and it is classified as a current liability on the balance sheet.
Bridge Facility - Mesa Cobre
On December 12, 2025, Mesa Cobre, closed a senior secured multi-draw Bridge Facility which will support the development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project by providing enhanced liquidity for early construction activities and working capital requirements. The Bridge Facility has a two-year maturity term, with a single repayment at maturity. It will bear interest at our election, either at (i) the forward-looking term rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate administered by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York plus a margin of 5.0%, increasing by 0.5% on each of the 6th, 12th, and 18th month following the closing date, or (ii) the alternate base rate as defined in the Bridge Facility agreements. At September 30, 2026, the Bridge Facility was undrawn.
In connection with the Bridge Facility, (i) Mesa Cobre entered into a security agreement which granted a first priority lien on substantially all of its assets, subject to customary exceptions, (ii) Ivanhoe Electric guaranteed Mesa Cobre’s payment obligations pursuant to a guaranty agreement whereby Ivanhoe Electric agrees to maintain at all times a tangible net worth of not less than $225.0 million, (iii) Ivanhoe Electric pledged its shares of Mesa Cobre pursuant to a pledge agreement, and (iv) Mesa Cobre executed a deed of trust and assignment of rents with respect to Mesa Cobre’s real property rights.

Operating activities.
Net cash used in operating activities for all periods presented largely was spent on our exploration and evaluation expenses and our general and administrative costs. We do not generate adequate cash from operations to cover our operating expenses and therefore rely on our financing activities to provide the cash resources to fund our operating and investing activities.
The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $90.5 million primarily was the result of $64.1 million of cash exploration and evaluation expenditures, $19.7 million of cash general and administrative costs and $12.2 million of income taxes paid by Cordoba in relation to sale of the Alacrán Project.
The net cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $63.5 million primarily was the result of $43.2 million of cash exploration and evaluation expenditures and $22.7 million of cash general and administrative costs.
Investing activities.
Net cash received from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $84.6 million was predominately due to $124.8 million received by Cordoba from the sale of its Alacrán Project. In addition, we received $5.0 million in proceeds from the 2024 sale of VRB China and $1.5 million in initial consideration from the sale of the Pinaya Gold-Copper Project. Offsetting these cash receipts were cash expenditures of $27.9 million on deposits made by the Santa Cruz Copper Project related to infrastructure and equipment, $12.5 million invested into the Maaden Joint Venture, $3.6 million of exploration property purchases at Gleeson and Tintic, $1.4 million of property, plant and equipment purchases and other asset purchases totaling $1.3 million.
Net cash received from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $7.8 million was mainly attributable to $9.7 million of proceeds received from the sale of a subsidiary, which is a result of VRB receiving in February 2025 the first tranche of the $20.0 million receivable that it recorded upon selling 51% of VRB China in October 2024. This receipt was offset by $1.2 million related to the purchases of property, plant and equipment and $0.7 million of payments for mineral interests.
Financing activities.
The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 of $46.4 million included proceeds of $81.5 million received from the January and February 2026 exercise of approximately 11.6 million Warrants to purchase one share of our common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. In addition, we received $6.1 million from the exercise of stock options during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, Cordoba distributed $40.1 million to its non-controlling shareholders.
The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 of $83.0 million was primarily a result of the public offering we completed in February 2025 where we issued 11,794,872 units (the “Units”) at a price of $5.85 per Unit for net proceeds of approximately $65.8 million. Each Unit consisted of (i) one share of our common stock and (ii) one accompanying warrant.
Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our subsidiary, Cordoba received a $5.0 million bridge loan from JCHX which was in addition to $5.0 million which was previously received in December 2024. On June 25, 2025, JCHX paid Cordoba $20.0 million which was the third installment under the strategic arrangement signed in 2023 whereby
27
JCHX acquired its 50% ownership of the Alacrán Project. On June 26, 2025, Cordoba repaid the $10.5 million bridge loan using the proceeds from the third installment.
Contractual Obligations
The following information updates our significant contractual obligations disclosed in Part II, Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2025 Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2026, there have been no material changes, outside the ordinary course of business, in our contractual obligations since December 31, 2025, other than the May 2026 agreement to acquire the TBM for $64.7 million, payable in installments over a two-year period upon the achievement of specified contractual milestones. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had made an initial deposit of $19.0 million.

See Note 15 of our consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of our financial statements.
Below are the accounting matters that we believe are critical to our financial statements due to the degree of uncertainty regarding the estimates or assumptions involved and the magnitude of the asset, liability, revenue, expense, gain or loss being reported. Actual results may vary from our estimates in amounts that may be material to the financial statements. An accounting estimate is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact our financial statements.
We base our assumptions and estimates on historical experience and various other sources that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from the estimates we calculate due to changes in circumstances, global economics and politics and general business conditions. A summary of our significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2025 Form 10-K. We have outlined below those policies identified as being critical to the understanding of our business and results of operations and that require the application of significant management judgment in developing estimates.
Recoverable value of exploration mineral interests
We review and evaluate exploration mineral interests for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The recoverability of our exploration mineral interests and intangible assets did not involve significant estimation in the periods presented as circumstances did not indicate the carrying amount of our assets may not be recoverable. However, the recoverability of our recorded mineral interests is subject to market factors that could significantly affect the recoverability of our assets, such as commodity prices, results of exploration activities that may affect our intentions to continue under option or earn-in agreements and geopolitical circumstances. By nature, significant changes in these factors are reasonably possible to occur periodically, which could materially impact our financial statements.
Stock-based compensation
Compensation expense for PSU's granted to certain of our officers and employees is determined based on estimated fair values of the PSU's at the time of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model, which requires the input of the following subjective assumptions:
28
| Grant date: March 6, 2026 | |||||
| Expected volatility | 69.0 | % | |||
| Expected life of PSU's (in years) | 2.8 years | ||||
| USA risk-free interest rate | 3.4 | % | |||
| Canada risk-free interest rate | 2.6 | % | |||
| Weighted average grant-date fair value (per unit) | $ | 17.56 | |||
The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our stock on the NYSE American over a term commensurate with the expected life of the PSU's. The USA risk-free interest rate was based on the yield observed on the US Dollar treasury curve as at the grant date, while the Canadian risk-free interest rate was based on the yield observed on the Canadian dollar government bond curve as at the grant date.
Income taxes
We make estimates and judgments in determining the provision for income tax expense, deferred tax assets and liabilities and liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties. We are subject to income tax laws in many jurisdictions, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the Ivory Coast and Chile.
We report income tax in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires the establishment of deferred tax accounts for all temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using currently enacted tax rates. In addition, deferred tax accounts must be adjusted to reflect new rates if enacted into law.
Realization of deferred tax assets is contingent on the generation of future taxable income. As a result, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or a portion of such assets will be realized during periods when they are available, and if not, we provide a valuation allowance for amounts not likely to be recognized. In determining our valuation allowance, we have not assumed future taxable income from sources other than the reversal of existing temporary differences. The extent to which a valuation allowance is warranted may vary as a result of changes in our estimates of future taxable income. In addition to the potential generation of future taxable income through the establishment of economic feasibility, development and operation of mines on our exploration assets, estimates of future taxable income could change in the event of disposal of assets, the identification of tax-planning strategies or changes in tax laws that would allow the benefits of future deductible temporary differences in certain entities or jurisdictions to be offset against future taxable temporary differences in other entities or jurisdictions.
We recognize the effect of uncertain income tax positions if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. The amount recognized is subject to estimates and our judgment with respect to the likely outcome of each uncertain tax position. The amount that is ultimately incurred for an individual uncertain tax position or for all uncertain tax positions in the aggregate could differ from the amount recognized. We had no uncertain tax positions as of September 30, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
Interest Rate Risk
We have both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt.
Fixed-rate debt. Our fixed rate debt at September 30, 2026 consisted of a $35.9 million convertible bond that has a fixed interest rate of 8.0% per annum. The convertible bond is accounted for at amortized cost. Any changes in the market interest rates associated with this financial instruments would not impact our net loss, comprehensive loss or future cash flows.
Variable-rate debt. Our variable-rate debt at September 30, 2026 was $nil. However, we have an undrawn $200.0 million Bridge Facility at September 30, 2026, related to the Santa Cruz Copper Project, which if drawn will have an interest rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate plus 5.0%.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our functional currency is the U.S. dollar. The majority of our expenditure is incurred in U.S. dollars at our exploration projects located in the United States and are not subject to foreign currency risk. Outside of the United States,
29
we are subject to foreign currency risk when we undertake transactions in foreign currencies, particularly certain operating expenditures incurred in Canada. As the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and our foreign currencies fluctuate, we experience foreign exchange gains and losses.
The carrying amounts of our Canadian dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities at September 30, 2026 are as follows:
| September 30, 2026 | |||||
Canadian Dollar Balance (in 000’s USD Equivalent) | |||||
Cash | $3,303 | ||||
Other receivables | 242 | ||||
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | (1,594) | ||||
Other liabilities | (161) | ||||
| $ | 1,789 | ||||
| Nine Months Ended September 30, 2026 | |||||
Opening exchange rate (1 U.S. dollar to Canadian dollars) | 1.371 | ||||
Closing exchange rate (1 U.S. dollar to Canadian dollars) | 1.399 | ||||
Appreciation/(devaluation) of Canadian dollar | (2.1) | % | |||
As at September 30, 2026, a 10% depreciation or appreciation of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar would have resulted in an approximate $0.2 million increase or decrease in the Company’s net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Management’s Evaluation of our Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (1) recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of September 30, 2026, our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded based upon the evaluation described above that, as of September 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended September 30, 2026, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, 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.
From time to time, we and our subsidiaries may become subject to various legal proceedings that are incidental to the ordinary conduct of our business. Although we cannot accurately predict the amount of any liability that may ultimately arise with respect to any of these matters, we make a provision for potential liabilities when we deem them probable and reasonably estimable. These provisions are based on current information and legal advice and may be adjusted from time to time according to developments.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
The Company and its business, operations and financial condition are subject to various risks and uncertainties due to the nature of its business and the present stage of exploration of its mineral properties. Certain of these risks and uncertainties are disclosed in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our 2025 Form 10-K.
With the exception of the addition of the below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our 2025 Form 10-K.
We may be adversely affected by current or future military conflicts in the Middle East, Ukraine/Russia or other jurisdictions
We operate a joint venture in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has been impacted by the military action occurring in the region between the United States, Israel and Iran, and certain attacks on Saudi Arabia’s airports and other infrastructure facilities have occurred. Such military action, and the responses to it, may result in our having to halt, suspend or cease exploration activities and other operations in Saudi Arabia in whole or in part, owing to the potential risks to our personnel and assets. Activities closer to the border with Yemen in southern Saudi Arabia are at greater risk of being halted, suspended or terminated given their proximity to hostilities in Yemen. The occurrence of any of these events may have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, constraints on shipping routes such as through the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait may limit our ability to sea transport into Saudi Arabia the supplies and equipment necessary to continue mineral exploration activities. Such hostilities have also restricted air travel to airports in Saudi Arabia frequented by our personnel and contractors, which has delayed the ability of our personnel and contractors to enter and exit Saudi Arabia. As well, should an employee or contractor leave the joint venture, or should we seek to expand mineral exploration activities in Saudi Arabia, we may be unable to find the necessary qualified personnel who are willing to travel to Saudi Arabia during such military action.
These ongoing military actions (as well as rising geopolitical tensions more generally), may also adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Heightened geopolitical instability in the Middle East has contributed to uncertainty in global economic and financial conditions, and increased volatility in energy, fuel, and transportation markets, as well as contributing to volatility in labor, financial, and commodity markets. Disruptions to fuel and energy supply, including as a result of government-imposed restrictions, sanctions, export controls, or other regulatory actions, could materially increase our operating costs or require the temporary suspension or shutdown of certain mineral exploration activities where reliable access to fuel or power is essential to safe and continuous operations. Heightened geopolitical tensions may also increase costs associated with insurance, air travel and shipping, thereby increasing our costs and adversely affecting our financial condition and results of operations.
Our Crossover XRE Tunnel Boring Machine may not be delivered as anticipated or work as expected which would delay or halt underground development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project.
The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire the TBM from Robbins to be used for decline development at the Santa Cruz Copper Project in Arizona. Delays in the delivery or assembly of the TBM and failure of the TBM to function as expected may create material delays or add material additional costs related to the construction and development of the Santa Cruz Copper Project.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2026
There were no unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended September 30, 2026.

•The plan terminates on the later of June 30, 2027
