3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements – not yet adopted

IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18: Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which replaces IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces a specified structure for the income statement by requiring income and expenses to be presented into the three defined categories of operating, investing and financing, and by specifying certain defined totals and subtotals. Where company-specific measures related to the income statement are provided, IFRS 18 requires companies to disclose explanations around these measures, which are referred to as management-defined performance measures. IFRS 18 also provides additional guidance on principles of aggregation and disaggregation which apply to the primary financial statements and the notes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements, nor will it affect which items are classified in other comprehensive income and how these items are classified. Some of the requirements in IAS 1 are moved to IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB also made minor amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IAS 33 Earnings per Share in connection with the new standard.

The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, including for interim financial statements. Retrospective application is required, and early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the effect of this new standard to its financial statements.

New IFRS accounting standards and pronouncements –adopted

Amendments to IFRS 9: Financial Instruments and IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to update classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9: Financial Instruments, and related disclosure requirements in IFRS 7: Financial Instruments: Disclosures. The IASB clarified the recognition and derecognition date of certain financial assets and liabilities, and amended the requirements related to settling financial liabilities using an electronic payment system. It also clarified how to assess the contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets in determining whether they meet the solely payments of principal and interest criterion, including financial assets that have environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG)-linked features and other similar contingent features. The IASB added disclosure requirements for financial instruments with contingent features that do not relate directly to basic lending risks and costs and amended disclosures relating to equity instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026 with early application permitted. The Company has adopted the amendments with no material impact to the current reporting period.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to select accounting policies and make estimates and judgments that may have a material impact on the financial statements. Estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates. The Company’s critical accounting judgments and estimates have been consistently applied with those presented in Note 4 of the audited annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025, and 2024.

Other receivables		2,469		2,469
Balance, non-current portion		41,624		36,249
		135,884		124,648

a)	COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable

The COMIBOL initial investment period CAPEX receivable is a reimbursement of 22.5% of a pre-defined amount of capital investments made by the Company from 2012 to 2019 in the Illapa Joint Operation. The refundable amount becomes available for the Company to offset against amounts due to COMIBOL for its 55% interest in the operation over seven years from 2020 to 2026. If the joint operation does not produce sufficient positive cash flows, COMIBOL can defer payment until cash flows are positive at which point the amounts receivable can be used to reduce the amount due to COMIBOL for its 55% share of the interest in the operation. If the operation does not generate enough positive cash flows to offset amounts due, the outstanding amount receivable will be paid by COMIBOL at the end of the agreement. The classification between current and non-current has been made based upon management’s best estimate of when the receivable will be used to offset future payments to COMIBOL for its 55% interest.

The timing of the cash flows will vary depending on the operational results from the joint operation and how much is payable to COMIBOL for their 55% interest in the operation. Depending on estimates and actual results each period the asset will be revalued to reflect the timing of the expected cash flows and will be discounted using the same effective rate at acquisition resulting in recognizing a gain or loss on the re-estimation of cash flows related the CAPEX receivable.

9. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE

On March 18, 2022, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Sinchi Wayra and Illapa (the “Acquisition”) from Glencore plc (“Glencore”) under the terms and conditions outlined in the Share Purchase Agreement (“SPA”). The SPA was amended on October 3, 2024 by entering into a definitive omnibus agreement.

The following table summarizes the consideration payable to Glencore under the omnibus agreement:

	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	$		$
Contingent value rights (note 9(b))		19,278		20,243
Balance, end of period		19,278		20,243
Less: current portion		-		-
Non-current portion		19,278		20,243

a)	Base purchase price

The base purchase price was to pay up to $80,000 in cash to Glencore in eight equal annual instalments of $10,000 each (the “Base Purchase Price” or “BPP”) with the first payment being made on or before November 1, 2025. The base purchase price obligation had an option to accelerate the payment of the outstanding balance reducing it to $40,000 if exercised prior to November 1, 2025. On September 4, 2025 the Company exercised the acceleration option and fully settled the base purchase price liability for $40,000.

b)	Contingent value rights & additional payments

The Company granted a contingent value right (the “CVR”) to Glencore whereby the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $1,333 (the “CVR Payment”), subject to a total cap of $77,700 (the “Valuation Cap”), in the event that in any calendar month after the date the parties enter into the Term Sheet, the average London Metal Exchange (“LME”) spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option (as defined below) has been exercised) in the calendar month is at least $3,850 per tonne (the “Base Price”). The CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Base Price and up to a price of $5,049.99 per tonne.

9. CONSIDERATION PAYABLE (continued)

In addition to the CVR Payment, in the event the average LME spot price of zinc (or the highest open hedge price if the Hedging Option has been exercised) in a calendar month is at least $5,050 per tonne (the “Additional Payment Price”), the CVR Payment will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payment Price and the Company will pay Glencore a monthly payment of $83 as a Bonus Payment that will increase by $83 for each increase of $100 per tonne above the Additional Payments Price. The Bonus Payment is not considered as part of the CVR Payment.

Upon the occurrence of the monthly average zinc LME spot price exceeding the Base Price, Glencore can require the Company to hedge a limited amount of zinc production from its Bolivian mining operations (so long as the hedging price would exceed the Base Price) subject to certain conditions (the “Hedging Option”).

The CVR and Additional Payments will be effective from the date of the omnibus agreement until the earlier of December 31, 2032 and the date the Valuation Cap is reached. The Additional Payments and the Hedging Option will terminate once the Company is no longer obligated to make CVR Payments.

The fair value at the initial recognition of the CVR was calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with key inputs and assumptions including the zinc spot price ($2,974 per tonne), the expected price of zinc in each year until December 31, 2032, the market risk-free rate and credit spread and the volatility and variability of historical zinc prices.

The Company performed a valuation exercise as at March 31, 2026 and determined a fair value of the CVR of $19,278 (December 31, 2025 - $20,243). The gain on change in fair value attributed to the CVR was $965 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – loss of $359), which is recorded as an other expense (Note 17).

The following table summarizes the details of the consideration payable to Glencore:

10. LOANS PAYABLE (continued)

c)	Other loans payable

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into contracts to sell trucks and machinery for net proceeds of $1,310. The Company subsequently leased the trucks and machinery back from the counterparty for a period of five years at a financing charge of 10.0% per annum and is required to make quarterly lease payments plus accrued interest. As the contracts provide the Company the right to repurchase the trucks and machinery at the end of the term for their residual value of 1%, the Company has an irrevocable right to repurchase the assets, and control of the assets did not transfer to the counterparty. Hence, these contracts are accounted for as financing transactions in accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, rather than as sale and leaseback transactions under IFRS 16 - Leases. In accordance with IFRS 9, these contracts were recorded as a financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. As at March 31, 2026, the financial liability was $362 (December 31, 2025 - $446).

During December 2025, Sociedad Minera Illapa S.A. received BOB 20,000 ($2,392) from Banco BISA S.A. to cover payroll costs. The loan term is 180 calendar days and due on June 15, 2026. The loan is unsecured and has a fixed annual nominal rate of 10%.

On February 20, 2025, the Company completed its first offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718), the notes were denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos and had a 6.50% interest rate and a maturity date of February 15, 2026. On February 27, 2026, the Company repaid the notes settling the liability in full.

On August 8, 2025, the Company completed a second offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718) in promissory notes under its San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program. The notes under the second offering have an interest rate of 7.00% and a maturity date of June 15, 2026 and are unsecured.

On April 8, 2026, the Company completed its third offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718). The notes have an annual interest rate of 10.8168%, mature on March 22, 2027, and are unsecured.

In accordance with IFRS 9, these contracts were recorded as a financial liability at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. The promissory notes require that San Lucas maintain a current ratio greater than 1.15, a debt service ratio greater than 1.5, and that the debt to equity ratio not exceed 1.85. The Company is fully compliant with all financial covenants stipulated as at March 31, 2026.

e)

Bonds

f) Deferred Share Units (DSU)

DSUs are non-transferrable awards that become payable upon termination of service of the participant. Vesting conditions for DSUs are set by the Board of Directors. Upon settlement, DSUs entitle the recipient to receive cash or common shares of an equivalent value at the discretion of the Company. Timing of settlement after vesting occurs at the discretion of the participant and communicated to the Company by the participant in writing at least fifteen days prior to the designated day, or an earlier date as the participant and the Company pay agree. If no notice is given by the participant for a designated day, the DSUs shall be payable on the first anniversary of the date on which the participant’s termination of service, or any earlier period on which the DSUs vest, at the sole discretion of the participant.

14. REVENUES

The Company’s sales revenue is generated from the following significant components:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	$		$
Sales revenue from mining operations (note 14(a))		68,601		52,491
Sales revenue from ore processing (note 14(b))		58,928		17,823
		127,529		70,314

a)	Sales revenue from mining operations

Sales revenue comes from the sale of metal concentrates which primarily contain silver and zinc but also includes lead and copper. All sales revenue from mining operations is generated from concentrate sales derived from ore that was extracted from the Company’s mineral properties. To generate revenues from the Company’s mineral properties, the Company is responsible and incurs costs for the operation, acquisition, exploration and development of those properties.

b)	Sales revenue from ore processing

Sales revenue from ore processing comes from the San Lucas feed sourcing business located in Bolivia. The feed sourcing business generates revenue from the sale of metal concentrates derived from ore purchased from third-party miners. Third-party miners are paid based upon the metal content of the ore provided and the prevailing metal prices at the time of purchase. After purchasing the ore, the Company assumes full ownership of the ore and is responsible for the processing and sale of the final product which is metal concentrates. The San Lucas ore sourcing and trading business operates under a margin-based business model that maintains contribution margins by aligning ore purchase costs with its metallurgical content and optimizes mill capacity utilization.

18. INCOME TAX EXPENSE (continued)

c)	Bolivia uncertain income tax position relating to tax year 2017

As part of the acquisition of the Bolivian operations, the Company assumed potential pre-acquisition income tax liabilities related to Bolivia’s 2017 tax year. The potential liability is from different tax positions regarding the deductibility of decommissioning and restoration provisions, depreciation of mineral properties, plant and equipment, undeclared income, and non-deductible expenses in the determination of the Bolivian current income tax.

As the matter relates to income tax, and there was uncertainty over whether the relevant authorities will accept the current tax treatment under the Bolivian tax law, management concluded that it meets the definition of an uncertain tax treatment within the scope of IAS 12 – Income Taxes and IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments. In accordance with IFRIC 23, an entity shall consider whether it is probable (more likely than not) that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. If an entity concludes it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment, the entity shall determine the taxable income or loss consistent with the tax treatment applied in its income tax filings.

In 2023, the Bolivian tax authorities issued the tax reassessment of 132,559 BOB ($14,615), which included tax interest and penalties. The Company and the Bolivian tax authorities agreed on a financing arrangement (“financing arrangement”) by making an initial deposit of 40,479 BOB ($4,462) (which represented 35% of the total balance) in the second quarter of 2023, and monthly instalments for the remaining balance of 75,175 BOB ($8,288) were payable over five years until June 2028.

The Company successfully challenged the Bolivian tax authorities’ decision through legal proceedings with the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court in Bolivia. On January 7, 2025 the Supreme Court of Justice ruled in favor of the Company by issuing sentence 188/2025 which nullified the previous rulings in favor of the tax authority and requires the tax authority issue a new assessment that is legally compliant. The tax authority appealed the decision during the second quarter of 2025, but the appeal was denied in October 2025. When the tax authority issues a new assessment updated for the items addressed by the court ruling management will determine whether or not to accept the new assessment or challenge it again. Management has concluded that the matter has been resolved, accordingly, the Company believes there is no current tax liability and has not recognized an expense or any liability related to this matter as at March 31, 2026.

Pursuant to the Sinchi Wayra and Illapa acquisition agreements, Glencore has agreed to indemnify the Company for up to a maximum of $25,000, in aggregate, for all claims and liabilities arising from the acquisition. Such indemnification would, subject to such cap and certain conditions, extend to income tax liabilities. In the unlikely event that the Company exhausts all avenues and receives an unfavourable ruling, the Company is indemnified by the acquisition agreements and would not be liable for any income tax liability up to $25,000.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company has remitted tax instalments totaling $8,624 inclusive of interest and penalties to the Bolivian tax authorities based on the financing arrangement mentioned in the third paragraph above. As the Company believes the current tax owing related to this matter is $nil and the amounts paid will ultimately be refunded to the Company, the total payment made to date of $8,624 has been recognized as “trade and other receivables” (Note 5). On February 27, 2026, the Company filed a formal refund request with the tax authority requesting the refund of the amounts paid. Due to the current legal status of the proceedings, management expects to receive the full amount and no valuation allowance has been recognized.

19. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time maximizing the growth of its business and providing returns to its shareholders. The Company’s capital structure consists of shareholders’ equity (comprising issued capital plus equity reserves plus retained earnings) with a shareholders’ equity of $209,304 as at March 31, 2026 (December 31, 2025 - $179,058).

The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on changes to its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets. The Company’s capital requirements are effectively managed based on the Company having a thorough reporting, planning and forecasting process to help identify the funds required to ensure the Company is able to meet its operating and growth objectives.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of compliance with covenants for the San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program (note 10(d)).

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

Other liabilities		23,598		-		-		23,598
		130,153		20,243		-		150,396

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Marketable securities consist of US treasury notes and US treasury bills which are held as part of the Company’s cash position and liquidity management strategy. The marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs, the unrealized gain/loss is recorded as other comprehensive income and once the securities are sold or mature the corresponding gain/loss is recorded as other income/expense.

The securities are held with Stifel which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia (see note 10(a)). Although the securities held can be readily converted to cash, they are restricted to the extent that the amounts serve as collateral. The Standby Letter of credit issued to Banco BISA is for $10,000 and expires on May 26, 2026. The standby letter of credit issued to Banco Credito de Bolivia is for $5,800 and expires on March 26, 2026, and automatically renews each year. Since the standby letter of credit to Banco Credito de Bolivia will renew indefinitely, the amount held as collateral has been classified as non-current.

Trade receivables are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of trade receivables is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices for the underlying commodity prices (silver, lead, zinc, copper) to which the receivable relates as the trade receivables are provisionally priced at the time of sale.

The fair value of the loans payable for disclosure purposes is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of future cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

Consideration payable, comprised of contingent value rights (see note 9(b)), is measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. The fair value is calculated using a Monte Carlo Simulation with key inputs and assumptions including the zinc spot price, the expected price of zinc in each year until December 31, 2032, the market risk-free rate and credit spread and the volatility and variability of historical zinc prices.

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

	March 31, 2026						December 31, 2025
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	$		$		$		$		$		$
Assets
Marketable securities		22,232		-		-		22,462		-		-
Trade and other receivables		-		31,117		-		-		20,371		-

Liabilities
Consideration payable		-		-		19,278		-		-		20,243
		-		-		19,278		-		-		20,243

The Company’s trade receivables arose from provisional concentrate sales and are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange for silver, zinc and lead and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix for silver.

The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that at December 31, 2025.

The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.

The Company has concentrate contracts to sell the zinc, lead and copper concentrates produced by all of the Company’s mines. Concentrate contracts are a common business practice in the mining industry. The terms of the concentrate contracts may require the Company to deliver concentrate that has a value greater than the payment received at the time of delivery, thereby introducing the Company to credit risk of the buyers of concentrates. Should any of these counterparties not honour purchase arrangements, or should any of them become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell its concentrates on the spot market or it may not have a market for its concentrates and therefore its future operating results may be materially adversely impacted. At March 31, 2026, the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of its concentrates of $31,117 (December 31, 2025 - $20,371). The Company’s concentrate is sold to well-known and well-established international concentrate buyers.

The following financial assets represent the maximum credit risk to the Company:

	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	$		$
Cash and cash equivalents		42,651		44,267
Marketable securities		22,232		22,462
Trade and other receivables		52,990		43,348

Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales, trading counterparties and customers. With the exception to the above, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and marketable securities, and its committed loan facilities.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following tables summarize the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments on an undiscounted basis at March 31, 2026:

	<1 year		1 – 2 years		2 – 5 years		>5 years		Total

20. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT (continued)

Currency risk

The Company reports its financial statements in USD; however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies. As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies. Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.

The sensitivity of the Company’s net income to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Bolivian boliviano, the Mexican peso and the Canadian dollar, would be as follows: a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Bolivian boliviano would change the Company’s net income by approximately $178, a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Mexican peso would change the Company’s net income by approximately $146, and a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s net Income by approximately ($37).

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2026 are denominated in Canadian dollars, US dollars, Bolivian bolivianos and Mexican pesos and translated to US dollars as follows:

	CAD		BOB			USD		MXN			Total
	$		$			$		$			$
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents		1,486		24,181			15,866		1,118			42,651
Marketable securities		-		-			22,232		-			22,232
Trade and other receivables		34		20,752			32,110		93			52,989
		1,520		44,933			70,208		1,211			117,872

Financial liabilities
Trade payables and accrued liabilities		254		29,566			3,769		15,731			49,320
Consideration payable		-		-			19,278		-			19,278
Loans payable		-		48,842			-		-			48,842
Other liabilities		-		10,265			6,901		2,079			19,245
		254		88,673			29,948		17,810			136,685
Net financial assets (liabilities)		1,266		(43,740	)		40,260		(16,599	)		(18,813	)

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. As at March 31, 2026, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk on interest bearing liabilities is limited to its consideration payable, debt facilities and lease liabilities. Based on the Company’s interest rate exposure at March 31, 2026, a change of 1% increase or decrease of market interest rate would impact the Company’s income or loss by approximately $489.

Price risk

Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead and copper. The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown significant volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in precious metal prices, the Company’s current policy is to not hedge the price of precious metal.

21. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND KEY MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION

The Company’s related parties include its subsidiaries, joint arrangements and key management personnel. During its normal course of operation, the Company enters into transactions with its related parties for goods and services. All related party transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, have been disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

These transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at the exchange amount, which is the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the parties.

Remuneration of key management personnel

Key management includes directors of the Company, the COO, the CFO, the CEO and Executive Chairman, and other members of key management. Compensation to key management personnel was as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	$		$
Management and consulting fees		695		682
Share-based compensation		395		149
		1,090		831

Of the $695 in management and consulting fees incurred with related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2026, $57 (2025 - $56) was related to directors’ fees and $638 (2025 - $626) was related to management fees.

22. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has identified its operating segments based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the chief executive officer and the executive management team, collectively the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources. The Company primarily manages its business by looking at individual producing and developing resource projects as well as the aggregate of the exploration and evaluation properties and typically segregate these projects between production, development, and exploration.

Operating segments

Management has identified 5 reportable operating segments: the Bolivar mine and processing plant, the Porco mine and processing plant, the Caballo Blanco Group which includes the Tres Amigos, Colquechaquita mines and the Don Diego processing plant, the San Lucas Group which includes the Reserva mine and San Lucas feed sourcing business, Zimapan mine and processing plant, and Corporate and Other activities.

The Bolivar and Porco segment revenues, cost of sales, capital expenditures, total assets and total liabilities are presented on 100% basis even though the assets, liabilities, sales and expenses are recorded at 45% in the consolidated balance sheet and statement of comprehensive income because the Company’s interest meets the definition of a joint operation in accordance with IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements. The Illapa Joint Operations elimination column in the tables below shows the removal of COMIBOL’s 55% interest in Illapa’s operating results and assets and liabilities.

Under the Association Agreement, Illapa S.A. is the designated operator and holds exclusive, comprehensive responsibility for all technical, financial, labor, legal, and commercial aspects of the operations. The Agreement grants Illapa full control over the mining production chain, including the exclusive right to commercialize concentrates in both domestic and international markets and to manage all related commercial processes. Because the Company is responsible for overseeing all of the operations, the CODM evaluates the performance of the segment on a 100% gross basis.

23. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share for the Company was calculated based on the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	$		$
Net income for the period		28,470		9,451
Weighted average number of shares outstanding		92,176,513		88,963,885
Earnings per share – basic		0.31		0.11

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026		2025
	$		$
Net income for the period		28,470		9,451
Weighted average number of shares outstanding		92,176,513		88,963,885
Incremental shares from options, RSUs, DSUs, and PSUs		1,915,872		-
Earnings per share – diluted		0.30		0.11

Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares of the Company outstanding during the period. The diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution of common share equivalents, such as outstanding share options, RSUs, DSUs and PSUs in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, if dilutive.

The following securities could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive:

The Company is solely responsible for certain specific transactions made by the Illapa business, and for these transactions, the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses are recognized at 100% in the Company’s Financial Statements and result in balances payable to or owed from COMIBOL for its share of the joint operation. The Company reports its segment information on a 100% basis with respect to Bolivar and Porco together with an elimination column representing COMIBOL’s 55% interest (refer to Note 22 of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements).

In this MD&A, The Company reports 100% of production and sales from the Bolivar and Porco operations. Under the Association Agreement, Illapa S.A. is the designated operator and holds exclusive, comprehensive responsibility for all technical, financial, labor, legal, and commercial aspects of the operations. The Agreement grants Illapa full control over the mining production chain, including the exclusive right to commercialize concentrates in both domestic and international markets and to manage all related commercial processes.

COMIBOL’s entitlement under the Agreement is not a direct share of production, but rather a 55% participation in net cash flow. Accordingly, management believes that reporting production on a 100% gross basis appropriately reflects the operational substance of the arrangement, while COMIBOL’s interest is more accurately represented as an economic participation in net cash flow rather than a direct operational interest in the underlying production.

Since the Company is the operator of the Bolivar and Porco mines, management evaluates the performance of each operation by reviewing production on a 100% basis. Since the information of 100% production results is used to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance, this MD&A is prepared under the same basis.

In this MD&A, operational information for Bolivar and Porco is presented at 100%. Readers of this MD&A are cautioned that although in the operating section of this MD&A the Company reports 100% of the production and sales information, the Company records 45% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in its consolidated financial statements. In contrast to the operational information, all financial information presented in this MD&A is reported showing 45% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses which coincides with the information presented in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

Company Overview (continued)

Update to non-GAAP performance measures and silver/zinc equivalent ounces metrics

In Q1 2026 the Company updated its non-GAAP performances measures to provide management and readers with useful information to evaluate the performance of the Company. The following section provides a summary of the changes made:

Segregation of mining operations & ore processing: Operational and cost metrics are now presented as either Mining operations or Ore processing operations because the underlying business processes and profitability drivers each type of operation are fundamentally different. Our mining operations consist of Bolivar, Porco, Caballo Blanco and the Zimapan mines. Mining operations include the production metrics, revenues and costs from extracting ore from our mineral properties which is then processed and sold in concentrate form. Ore processing operations consist of the San Lucas feed sourcing business and includes the production metrics, revenue and costs from purchasing ore from third-party miners which is then processed and sold in concentrate form. Mining operations generate high margins because the input for the final product, metal concentrates, is from ore that is extracted from the Company’s mine properties that it owns. Ore processing generates significantly lower margins because the ore is purchased from third-party miners and the amount paid for the purchased ore is based upon the ore’s metal content and prevailing metal prices at the time of purchase.

Co-product costing methodology: The company will no longer focus on costs per silver equivalent ounces sold and will now provide costs per actual silver ounce and zinc tonne sold in the period using a co-product cost methodology which allocates costs between each metal. The company’s primary payable metals are silver and zinc, the revenue generated by each metal varies depending on prevailing metal prices but because each metal generates greater than 30% of the total revenues, the Company has concluded that reporting costs as co-products by silver ounce sold and zinc tonne sold is the most appropriate way to assess the performance of its operations. The total tonnes of ore milled in the period generates silver and zinc payable metals for sale, the ratio of payable silver and zinc produced from each tonne milled is used to allocate each period’s production costs between silver ounces sold and zinc tonnes sold, which will generate the following metrics: cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold and will also provide an average realized price per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold.

By-product credits from secondary metal sales: The company’s operations are poly-metallic whereby each tonne of ore milled generates primarily payable ounces of silver and tonnes of zinc but also generates payable tonnes of lead and copper. The combined revenues of lead and copper are incidental to our primary metal production of silver and zinc because they generate less than 10% of total revenues. Lead and copper concentrate is produced primarily to obtain the silver contained within so the Company has adopted the practice of calculating the net cost of producing an ounce of silver, after deducting revenues gained from incidental by-product production of lead and copper.

Realized mining margin and realized ore processing margin: Management has created two new non-GAAP measures: the realized mining margin and realized ore processing margin. Management believes the margins are an effective way to evaluate the profitability of the Company’s operations. The margin is calculated by subtracting the all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold from the average realized price per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold.

Silver equivalent ounces and Zinc equivalent tonnes: Commencing Q1 2026, the Company has modified its production disclosure to include zinc equivalent tonnes produced and has updated the method of calculating silver equivalent ounces produced. The Company considers silver equivalent (“AgEq”) ounces and zinc equivalent (“ZnEq”) tonnes to be useful production metrics for evaluating its multi-metal production profile but they should be considered only supplemental to the actual production volumes of silver and zinc produced and sold. The company will continue to present the silver equivalent ounces produced and zinc equivalent ounces produced for the combined mining and ore processing operations, but will no longer report its costs per silver ounce to focus on the more relevant metrics of cost per payable silver ounce and cost per payable zinc tonne sold instead.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others and, accordingly, the Company’s use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section in this MD&A for a detailed explanation of the metrics, the methodology used and a reconciliation of these measures to our revenues and operating expenses, as reported in our condensed interim consolidated financial statements which are prepared under IFRS. All of the changes made to the non-GAAP measures have been applied retrospectively to comparative periods.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾Mining operations includes only production from Bolivar, Porco, Caballo Blanco and Zimapan. Ore processing includes only production from San Lucas ore processing business. Readers are cautioned that Bolivar and Porco production figures are presented at 100% however the Company records only its 45% interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Illapa business in its consolidated financial statements. The Company reports its segment information on a 100% basis with respect to Bolivar and Porco together with an elimination column representing COMIBOL’s 55% interest (refer to segment information note of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements).

⁽²⁾Silver equivalent ounces and zinc equivalent tonnes produced have been calculated using the period’s average metal prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange. The silver and zinc equivalent production is calculated by dividing each metal’s price by the price of Silver or Zinc to arrive at their equivalent. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Measures” for further information.

⁽³⁾Silver ounces sold (payable) and zinc tonnes sold (payable) are lower than the volumes produced due to two effects: (i) timing — concentrates produced in a quarter may be shipped and invoiced in a subsequent period; and (ii) commercial terms — payable ounces under offtake agreements are lower than produced ounces due to standard treatment and quality deductions applied by the customer.

⁽⁴⁾The Company reports non-GAAP measures, which include: cash cost of production per tonne milled, cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, average realized price per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost per silver ounce, zinc tonne sold, realized mining margin per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold and realized ore processing margin per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from methods used by other companies even though the metrics have the same or similar names. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Measures” in this MD&A.

Management Business Overview and Outlook

2026 Bolivian Operating Priorities:

The Company’s Bolivian operations will remain focused on operational stability, cost discipline and plant performance in 2026. At Bolivar, management continues to advance the recovery of the areas affected by the localized flooding event encountered in 2025. Progress to date has been encouraging, and the affected areas are expected to recover gradually through 2026, with a return to full production anticipated during the year. At Porco, the Company’s smallest and predominantly zinc-oriented mining operation, the priority for 2026 will be to maintain operating stability and support revenue generation through continued focus on zinc production. At Caballo Blanco, the Company’s most efficient operation, management’s objective is to preserve, sustain and further deepen the operating efficiencies achieved to date. San Lucas will continue to play a strategic role in keeping plants utilized through third-party ore supply, supporting fixed-cost absorption, cost efficiency and meaningful margin contribution. Across the Bolivian platform, the Company’s strategy remains centered on optimizing mining costs, improving plant recoveries and maintaining the flexibility of its integrated operating base.

2026 Mexican Operating Priorities:

In Mexico, the Company’s principal operating focus in 2026 will be on improving metallurgical recoveries and concentrate quality at Zimapán. As the Company’s highest-volume operation, Zimapán has a direct impact on consolidated revenue and operating performance, making recoveries and concentrate quality key priorities. Capital has already been invested toward these objectives, and management expects those initiatives to continue supporting operating improvement through 2026. The Company will also maintain its focus on cost discipline, process optimization and the continued strengthening of operating integration across the broader portfolio in support of more consistent production and financial performance.

Selected Quarterly Production Results (continued)

Santacruz´s Consolidated Operations Results

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

On a consolidated basis, Santacruz’s mining operations produced 1.0 million ounces of silver in Q1 2026, representing a 2% increase compared with Q4 2025. When including San Lucas´s ore processing activities, total silver production was broadly unchanged at 1.3 million ounces. This indicates that the Company maintained stable silver output at the consolidated level, supported by improved performance in certain mining operations, including the continued recovery at Bolivar and stronger silver production at Caballo Blanco, which offset lower silver production at Zimapan and Porco. Zinc production from mining operations decreased by 10% to 14,496 tonnes, while total zinc production, including ore processing, decreased by 9% to 21,640 tonnes. The reduction in zinc production mainly reflected lower zinc output at Zimapan and Caballo Blanco, partially offset by the contribution from other operating areas and ore processing activities.

From a financial contribution perspective, the margin analysis evaluates how consolidated productive performance translates into unit economics by comparing the Average Realized Price for each metal against its respective AISC. For silver, the Average Realized Price increased to $63.30 per ounce, while AISC decreased to $31.60 per ounce. As a result, the realized mining margin per silver ounce sold increased to $31.70 from $13.56 in Q4 2025. This represents a significant improvement in silver unit margins, driven primarily by stronger realized silver prices and lower AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price decreased to $3,116 per tonne, while AISC increased to $2,729 per tonne. The resulting realized mining margin per zinc tonne sold was $387, compared with $704 in Q4 2025. Zinc therefore remained positive on a unit-margin basis, although the margin narrowed as the decrease in realized zinc price and the increase in AISC reduced the spread between realized price and cost. Overall, both silver and zinc generated positive consolidated unit margins in Q1 2026, with silver providing the stronger financial contribution based on the spread between realized price and AISC.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, consolidated mining operations produced 1.0 million ounces of silver, a decrease of 23%. Including San Lucas´s ore processing activities, total silver production decreased by 16% to 1.3 million ounces. The year-over-year decline was mainly attributable to lower silver production from mining operations, including the effect of lower silver output at Bolivar following the water inflow event that affected that operation toward the end of Q2 2025, as well as lower silver production at Zimapan and Caballo Blanco. This was partially mitigated by operational execution and ore processing activities, which continued to support consolidated metal production. Zinc production from mining operations was broadly stable, decreasing by 1% to 14,496 tonnes, while total zinc production, including ore processing, increased by 4% to 21,640 tonnes. This indicates that zinc output remained comparatively resilient at the consolidated level, supported by the broader contribution of the Company’s operating platform.

From a financial contribution perspective, Santacruz generated positive unit margins for both silver and zinc in Q1 2026. The Average Realized Silver Price increased to $63.30 per ounce from $27.80 per ounce in Q1 2025, while silver AISC increased to $31.60 per ounce from $17.91 per ounce. As a result, the realized mining margin per silver ounce sold increased to $31.70 from $9.89, reflecting the strong increase in realized silver prices, which more than offset higher unit costs. For zinc, the Average Realized Price increased to $3,116 per tonne, while AISC increased to $2,729 per tonne. The resulting realized mining margin was $387 per tonne, compared with $718 per tonne in Q1 2025. Zinc therefore remained positive on a unit-margin basis, although the margin contracted year over year due to the increase in AISC. Overall, silver was the primary driver of improved consolidated unit-margin performance in Q1 2026, while zinc continued to contribute positively but at a lower margin than in the prior-year period.

Summary

The Bolivar Mine has been active for more than 200 years. The current mine complex consists of an underground mine, 1,100 t/d milling facility, tailings storage facility, maintenance workshop, shaft-winder, water treatment plants, supplies warehouse, main office, hospital, and camp.

The Bolivar mine operates in two main areas: the Central Zone, an extension of the original ore deposit that runs deeper, and the Rosario Zone, a parallel area with its own separate entrance.

Currently the plant processes about 21,000 tonnes of ore per month, and 840 meters of combined primary and secondary development each month. At the same time, ore from the San Lucas feed sourcing business is providing production flexibility and allowing the mill to operate efficiently.

The Bolivar mill has operated continuously since 1993, receiving feed from two main sources: the Bolivar Mine, which supplies approximately 70%, and toll feed sourced through the San Lucas feed sourcing business, contributing the remaining 30%. The mill processes each feed type separately, enabling precise analysis and reporting for each. Different reagent strategies are applied to each source due to the presence of pyrrhotite in the San Lucas feed, which is generally absent in the Bolivar mine feed.

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

Bolivar’s operating performance improved in Q1 2026 compared with Q4 2025, reflecting continued execution of the dewatering plan and the progressive recovery of affected mining areas following the water inflow event that impacted the operation toward the end of Q2 2025. Silver production increased by 28% to 259,635 ounces, primarily driven by a 30% improvement in silver head grade to 141 g/t, partially offset by a decrease in silver recovery to 88% from 92%. The increase in silver grade indicates that the areas currently being mined contained higher silver mineralization than in the prior quarter, supporting continued recovery in production. Zinc production decreased by 8% to 3,656 tonnes, mainly due to a 10% reduction in zinc head grade to 6.06%, while zinc recovery remained stable at 93%. The lower zinc grade reflects the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during the quarter, while stable recovery performance helped partially mitigate the impact of lower zinc grades on zinc output.

From a financial contribution perspective, the margin analysis evaluates how productive performance translates into unit margins by comparing the Average Realized Price for each metal against its respective AISC. For silver, the Average Realized Price increased to $60.93 per ounce, while AISC decreased to $43.55 per ounce, resulting in a positive realized mining margin of $17.38 per ounce compared with $0.35 per ounce in Q4 2025. This improvement reflects a stronger realized silver price and lower unit costs, resulting in a materially stronger silver margin. For zinc, the Average Realized Price was broadly stable at $3,356 per tonne, while AISC increased to $3,117 per tonne, resulting in a positive realized mining margin of $239 per tonne compared with $976 per tonne in Q4 2025. Although zinc continued to generate a positive unit margin, the margin narrowed due to higher unit costs for zinc. Overall, both silver and zinc contributed positively from a unit-margin perspective in Q1 2026, with silver generating the stronger financial contribution based on the spread between realized price and AISC.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, Bolivar’s silver production decreased by 38% to 259,635 ounces. The year-over-year decline should be assessed in the context of the water inflow event that affected Bolivar toward the end of Q2 2025 and the ongoing recovery of the affected mining areas. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 41% reduction in silver head grade to 141 g/t, while silver recovery remained broadly stable at 88% compared with 89% in Q1 2025. The lower silver grade reflects the mineralogical characteristics of the areas currently being mined, including the contribution of development material, which typically carries higher dilution due to its role in advancing mine access and recovery activities. Zinc production decreased by 8% to 3,656 tonnes, mainly due to a 13% decrease in zinc head grade to 6.06%, partially offset by an improvement in zinc recovery to 93% from 91%. The lower zinc grade similarly reflects the characteristics of the mining areas accessed during the quarter, while the higher recovery rate helped mitigate part of the impact from lower zinc grades. Although production remained below the prior-year period, the improvement achieved versus Q4 2025 demonstrates continued progress in the recovery plan.

From a financial contribution perspective, Bolivar generated positive unit margins for both silver and zinc in Q1 2026. The Average Realized Silver Price increased to $60.93 per ounce, while silver AISC increased to $43.55 per ounce, resulting in a positive realized mining margin of $17.38 per ounce compared with $12.35 per ounce in Q1 2025. The higher silver margin was driven by the stronger realized silver price, which more than offset the increase in AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price increased to $3,356 per tonne, while AISC increased to $3,117 per tonne, resulting in a positive realized mining margin of $239 per tonne compared with $1,370 per tonne in Q1 2025. Although zinc remained profitable on a unit-margin basis, the year-over-year margin contraction reflected a larger increase in AISC relative to the realized zinc price. Overall, silver generated the stronger financial contribution in Q1 2026, while zinc remained positive but with a materially narrower unit margin.

Summary

The Porco Mine has been in operation for nearly 500 years. The complex consists of an underground mine, milling facility, maintenance workshop, tailing storage facility, water treatment plant, supplies warehouse, main office, two hospitals and Yancaviri Camp.

The milling facility processes approximately 17,000 tonnes of ore, and on average realizes 600 meters of total development per month. The mine is comprised of two production areas. Hundimiento uses long hole mechanized mining methods to exploit the deeper extension of the primary vein complex, and the Central zone which is conventionally mined using more selective shrinkage stoping.

The milling facility is sourced by the mine feed (approximately 60%), and the toll feed from the San Lucas feed sourcing business (40%).

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

Zinc production at Porco increased by 4% to 2,833 tonnes in Q1 2026, compared with 2,727 tonnes in Q4 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a 17% improvement in zinc head grade to 6.61%, compared with 5.66% in Q4 2025, which reflected the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during the period, supported by a modest improvement in zinc recovery to 95% from 94%. This more than offset the impact of a 12% decrease in material processed. Silver production decreased by 14% to 70,708 ounces, compared with 82,047 ounces in Q4 2025, mainly reflecting lower material processed and a 3% decrease in silver head grade to 59 g/t, compared with 61 g/t, partially offset by a slight improvement in silver recovery to 82% from 81%.

From a unit margin perspective, zinc generated a positive margin in Q1 2026. The average realized price per zinc tonne sold was $3,042, compared with an AISC per zinc tonne sold of $1,507, resulting in a margin of $1,535 per tonne. This represented a 26% improvement from Q4 2025, primarily due to the 26% decrease in zinc AISC, despite a 7% decrease in the average realized zinc price. Silver unit economics improved compared with Q4 2025 but remained negative. The average realized price per silver ounce sold increased by 81% to $50.41, while AISC per silver ounce sold decreased by 3% to $59.90, resulting in a negative margin of $9.49 per ounce, compared with a negative margin of $34.27 per ounce in Q4 2025.

Overall, Porco’s productive performance improved for zinc and declined for silver compared with Q4 2025. The zinc result was mainly driven by stronger head grades and slightly higher recoveries, while the decrease in silver production reflected lower silver grades, partially offset by marginally better recoveries. From a unit margin perspective, zinc provided the stronger contribution and generated a positive unit margin, while silver margins improved but remained negative.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Zinc production increased by 6% to 2,833 tonnes in Q1 2026, compared with 2,674 tonnes in Q1 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to a 10% improvement in zinc head grade to 6.61%, compared with 5.99% in Q1 2025, which reflected the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during the period, supported by a slight improvement in zinc recovery to 95% from 94%. Silver production decreased by 41% to 70,708 ounces, compared with 120,537 ounces in Q1 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by a 39% reduction in silver head grade to 59 g/t, compared with 98 g/t in Q1 2025, partially offset by a modest improvement in silver recovery to 82% from 81%. The reduction in silver head grade was primarily related to the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined. In addition, part of the material extracted came from development areas, which typically have higher dilution due to their characteristics and role in the mining process.

From a unit margin perspective, zinc continued to generate a positive margin in Q1 2026. The average realized price per zinc tonne sold was $3,042, compared with an AISC per zinc tonne sold of $1,507, resulting in a margin of $1,535 per tonne, broadly consistent with the $1,555 per tonne margin generated in Q1 2025. The slight 1% decrease in zinc margin reflected a 15% increase in AISC, largely offset by a 6% increase in the average realized zinc price. Silver unit economics declined year-over-year. The average realized price per silver ounce sold increased by 53% to $50.41, but AISC per silver ounce sold increased by 132% to $59.90, resulting in a negative margin of $9.49 per ounce, compared with a positive margin of $7.18 per ounce in Q1 2025.

Overall, Porco’s year-over-year productive performance was mixed. Zinc production improved, supported by higher grades and recoveries, while silver production declined mainly due to lower silver grades associated with the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined and higher dilution from development material. From a unit margin perspective, zinc remained the stronger contributor, generating a positive margin, while silver moved to a negative unit margin despite higher realized silver prices.

Summary

Following a thorough examination of the Don Diego milling facility processing performance, Caballo Blanco Group made a strategic adjustment in Q3 to improve metal recovery and concentrate value. Previously, the milling facility handled ore from three mines: Colquechaquita, Tres Amigos, and Reserva. A recent evaluation revealed that processing a blend of ores exclusively from Colquechaquita and Tres Amigos at Don Diego significantly improved silver recovery in the lead concentrate. This enhancement adds greater value to the lead concentrate and generates additional revenue for the Company. The process modification is consistent with our goal of enhancing efficiencies by improving metal recoveries and concentrate value.

Ore from the Reserva mine will now be processed and blended with ore from the San Lucas ore sourcing business to improve overall operating efficiency. The initial results of this adjustment reveal significant gains in silver in lead concentrate recovery, prompting management to adopt this new processing approach as the standard going forward. This revised operational framework will help both Caballo Blanco and San Lucas achieve more consistent recovery performance and maximize the value of its mineral resources.

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

Caballo Blanco’s silver production increased by 6% to 306,888 ounces in Q1 2026, driven primarily by a 12% improvement in silver head grade to 175 g/t and supported by an increase in silver recovery to 93% from 91%. The improvement in silver grade reflects the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during the quarter and contributed to stronger silver output despite lower material processed. Zinc production decreased by 10% to 3,967 tonnes, mainly due to a lower zinc head grade of 7.15% compared with 7.39% in Q4 2025, together with a modest decrease in zinc recovery to 94% from 95%. The lower zinc production therefore reflected a less favourable zinc grade and recovery profile during the quarter, while silver benefited from stronger grade performance and improved recovery.

From a financial contribution perspective, the margin analysis evaluates how productive performance translates into unit margins by comparing the Average Realized Price for each metal against its respective AISC. For silver, the Average Realized Price increased to $65.80 per ounce, while AISC decreased to $22.71 per ounce, resulting in a positive margin of $43.09 per ounce compared with $18.84 per ounce in Q4 2025. This represented a significant improvement in silver margins, driven by both a stronger realized price and lower AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price decreased to $3,179 per tonne, while AISC decreased modestly to $2,142 per tonne, resulting in a positive margin of $1,037 per tonne compared with $1,113 per tonne in Q4 2025. Although zinc continued to generate a positive contribution, the margin narrowed due to the lower realized zinc price. Overall, both silver and zinc contributed positively from a unit-margin perspective, with silver showing the stronger improvement and higher margin quality during the quarter.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, Caballo Blanco’s silver production decreased slightly by 2% to 306,888 ounces. The decrease was primarily attributable to a 14% reduction in silver head grade to 175 g/t, while silver recovery remained strong and broadly consistent at 93%. The lower silver grade reflects the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during Q1 2026, including the contribution of development material, which typically carries higher dilution due to its role in mine access and development. Zinc production increased by 12% to 3,967 tonnes, despite a modest reduction in zinc head grade to 7.15% from 7.28%, with zinc recovery remaining stable at 94%. This indicates that zinc performance was supported by stable metallurgical recovery and operating execution, partially offsetting the impact of slightly lower zinc grades.

From a financial contribution perspective, Caballo Blanco generated positive unit margins for both silver and zinc in Q1 2026. The Average Realized Silver Price increased to $65.80 per ounce from $26.62 per ounce in Q1 2025, while silver AISC increased to $22.71 per ounce from $12.01 per ounce. As a result, the silver margin increased to $43.09 per ounce compared with $14.61 per ounce in the prior-year period. For zinc, the Average Realized Price increased to $3,179 per tonne, while AISC increased to $2,142 per tonne, resulting in a positive margin of $1,037 per tonne compared with $1,725 per tonne in Q1 2025. This reflected a modest improvement in zinc unit margins, as the increase in realized zinc price more than offset the increase in AISC. Overall, both metals generated positive financial contribution in Q1 2026, with silver continuing to show the stronger unit-margin profile, while zinc provided a stable and improved contribution compared with the prior-year period.

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

Zimapan’s silver production decreased by 10% to 362,863 ounces in Q1 2026 compared with Q4 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower silver recovery, which declined to 65% from 70%, while silver head grade was broadly stable at 78 g/t compared with 80 g/t in the prior quarter. This indicates that the quarter-over-quarter reduction in silver output was more closely related to metallurgical performance than to a material change in mined silver grade. Zinc production decreased by 19% to 4,040 tonnes, reflecting a combination of lower zinc head grade and lower recovery. Zinc head grade declined by 12% to 2.55%, while zinc recovery decreased to 71% from 78%. The lower zinc grade reflects the mineralogical characteristics of the areas mined during the quarter.

From a financial contribution perspective, the margin analysis evaluates how productive performance translates into unit margins by comparing the Average Realized Price for each metal against its respective AISC. For silver, the Average Realized Price increased to $65.19 per ounce, while AISC decreased to $23.16 per ounce, resulting in a positive margin of $42.03 per ounce compared with $26.48 per ounce in Q4 2025. The improvement in silver margin was driven by the stronger realized silver price, which more than offset the increase in AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price decreased to $2,924 per tonne; AISC stayed the roughly the same at $3,380 per tonne, resulting in an negative margin of $456 per tonne compared with a positive margin of $88 per tonne in Q4 2025. Overall, silver generated a strong positive financial contribution in Q1 2026, while zinc was negative on a unit-margin basis.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, Zimapan’s silver production decreased by 18% to 362,863 ounces. Silver head grade remained broadly consistent at 78 g/t compared with 80 g/t in the prior-year period, while silver recovery declined to 65% from 77%. The year-over-year decrease in silver production was therefore primarily attributable to lower metallurgical recovery rather than a significant reduction in silver grade. Zinc production decreased by 10% to 4,040 tonnes, despite zinc head grade remaining largely stable at 2.55% compared with 2.56% in Q1 2025. The reduction was mainly driven by lower zinc recovery, which decreased to 71% from 79%.

From a financial contribution perspective, Zimapan generated a strong positive unit margin from silver but a negative unit margin from zinc in Q1 2026. The Average Realized Silver Price increased to $65.19 per ounce, while silver AISC increased to to $23.16 per ounce, resulting in a positive margin of $42.03 per ounce compared with $6.52 per ounce in Q1 2025. This represented a significant improvement in silver unit margins, driven by a materially higher realized silver price and lower AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price increased modestly to $2,924 per tonne, while AISC increased marginally to $3,380 per tonne from $3,330 per tonne. As a result, the zinc margin improved to negative $456 per tonne compared with negative $816 per tonne in Q1 2025, but remained below breakeven. Overall, silver was the primary contributor to Zimapan’s unit-margin performance in Q1 2026, while zinc showed year-over-year improvement but continued to generate a negative unit margin.

Summary

San Lucas is the Company’s ore sourcing and trading business in Bolivia and should be regarded as a strategic component of the broader Bolivian production portfolio. By procuring ore from third-party suppliers and processing it through the Company’s existing plants, San Lucas supports higher plant utilization, enhances fixed-cost absorption, and increases overall operating flexibility. Given its margin-based structure, purchase prices are aligned to contained metal value. San Lucas is best evaluated on the basis of margin generation and its contribution to overall operating efficiency, rather than on average feed grade alone.

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

San Lucas should be assessed as a margin-based ore processing business, where performance is driven by the ability to source and process third-party material through available plant capacity, generate payable metal volumes, and capture a positive processing margin. In Q1 2026, San Lucas processed 94,767 tonnes, a 10% decrease compared with 105,587 tonnes in Q4 2025. Metal production decreased across the main payable metals, with silver production decreasing by 7% to 341,405 ounces, zinc production decreasing by 8% to 7,144 tonnes, and lead production decreasing by 14% to 602 tonnes. The lower production levels were mainly driven by the reduction in processed material, partially offset in silver by a modest improvement in recovery to 81% from 80%. Zinc recovery remained stable at 89%, while lead recovery decreased to 63% from 68%.

From a margin perspective, San Lucas generated positive realized ore processing margins in Q1 2026 for both silver and zinc. The realized ore processing margin per silver ounce sold improved to $0.65 per ounce, compared with a negative margin of $10.33 per ounce in Q4 2025, reflecting a material improvement in silver unit economics. The realized ore processing margin per zinc tonne sold decreased by 22% to $497 per tonne, compared with $633 per tonne in Q4 2025. Although zinc margin remained positive, the decrease indicates lower margin capture per tonne sold during the period. Overall, San Lucas’ Q1 2026 performance declined from a production standpoint due to lower throughput, but the business continued to generate positive unit margins, with the most significant sequential improvement coming from silver, which moved from a negative to a positive processing margin.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, San Lucas processed 94,767 tonnes in Q1 2026, an increase of 9% from 86,695 tonnes. The higher processing volume supported increased metal production across all reported metals. Silver production increased by 16% to 341,405 ounces, zinc production increased by 19% to 7,144 tonnes, and lead production increased by 25% to 602 tonnes. The increase in production was mainly driven by higher processed volumes, partially offset by lower recoveries. Silver recovery decreased to 81% from 86%, zinc recovery decreased to 89% from 91%, and lead recovery decreased to 63% from 66%.

From a unit margin perspective, San Lucas remained positive but generated lower realized ore processing margins than in Q1 2025. The Ore processing margin per silver ounce sold decreased by 36% to $0.65 per ounce, compared with $1.02 per ounce in Q1 2025. The Ore processing margin per zinc tonne sold decreased by 70% to $497 per tonne, compared with $1,650 per tonne in Q1 2025. As a result, while San Lucas delivered higher production and higher payable metal sales volumes year-over-year, margin quality declined due to lower effective processing margins per unit sold: The margin was impacted by the appreciation of local currencies against the U.S. dollar, which increased reported costs in U.S. dollar terms when translating costs denominated in local currency. Overall, San Lucas’ year-over-year performance showed stronger throughput and metal production, but lower unit margin capture, with the business continuing to contribute positive processing margins under its ore sourcing model.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾On December 10, 2025 the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidated common share for every four pre-consolidated common shares. The number of issued and outstanding shares and any per share amounts have been retrospectively restated.

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $127,529, an increase of $57,215 as compared to Q1 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the average realized price of silver from $32.54 in Q1 2025 to $63.30 in Q1 2026.

Cost of sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $77,363, an increase of $39,485 compared to Q1 2025. The increase was mainly driven by San Lucas, which operates a margin-based sourcing model, as higher silver and zinc prices in the current quarter increased ore purchase costs. The increase was further impacted by the change in exchange rate in Bolivia between quarters, leading to greater costs when translating Boliviano denominated transactions to the US dollar. Increase by cost category was primarily attributed to ore purchase costs and mining and plant maintenance costs.

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $7,297, an increase of $2,720 compared with Q1 2025. This movement was primarily due to a greater depletion of mineral properties in Bolivia, arising from the increase to the properties’ cost basis from continued development.

Overview of Financial Results (continued)

General and administrative expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 were $7,598, an increase of $2,678 compared with Q1 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to greater salaries and benefits in Bolivia during the current period.

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $3,125, an increase of $2,982 compared with Q1 2025. This movement was attributed to the decrease in the change in the fair value of consideration payable as a result of the settlement of the base purchase price during the intervening period, and decreased zinc forward prices for the valuation of the contingent value rights. The change was further attributed to other income recognized in Bolivia driven by an increase in the interest income generated from VAT receivable balances due to higher inflation adjustment than previous years.

Foreign exchange gain for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $7,042, having increased by $808 from $6,234 in Q1 2025. This change was primarily attributed to the change in the Boliviano exchange rate, which led to a gain on the revaluation of monetary assets and liabilities.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 was $16,439, having decreased by $3,267 from $19,706 in Q1 2025. The decrease was attributed to a one-time deferred income tax expense recognized in the comparative Q1 2025 caused by the initial change of exchange rate being used to record transactions denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos. This was offset by an increase to current income tax expense during the quarter due to higher taxable income.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Contractual Obligations

Liquidity

As at March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $42,651 (December 31, 2025 - $44,267). The Company’s cash is not exposed to liquidity risk and there is no restriction on the ability of the Company to use these funds to meet its obligations. The Company also has $22,232 of marketable securities, which consist of liquid holdings of US treasury bills and treasury notes that can be readily sold to be converted into cash. The securities are held with Stifel bank which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia (see note 10(a) of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements). Although the securities held can be readily converted to cash, they are restricted to the extent that the amounts serve as collateral. The Standby Letter of credit issued to Banco BISA is for $10,000 and expires on May 26, 2026. The standby letter of credit issued to Banco Credito de Bolivia is for $5,800 and expires on March 26, 2026, and automatically renews each year. The amount held as collateral has been classified as non-current.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reported net income of $28,470 (three months ended March 31, 2025 - net income of $9,451). As at March 31, 2026, the Company had working capital of $75,901 (December 31, 2025 - working capital of $63,688).

The Company has a consideration payable balance outstanding for the acquisition of the Sinchi Wayra and Illapa operations which occurred in 2022. The consideration payable consisted of a base purchase price obligation and contingent value rights (“CVR”) obligation. The base purchase price obligation was fully paid in the third quarter of 2025, only the contingent value rights remain outstanding. The CVR has not resulted in any payments to date because the price of zinc has not reached the levels that would trigger a payment (greater than $3,850 per tonne).

At March 31, 2026, the Company has non-current loans payable of $215 (December 31, 2025 - $1,344), and non-current consideration payable to Glencore of $19,278 (December 31, 2025 - $20,243). The consideration payable to Glencore is an estimated fair value of CVR payments that will only become payable if zinc price exceeds $3,850, which has not yet occurred.

Credit Facilities and Borrowings

The Company has a secured credit facility denominated in Bolivian Bolivianos with Banco BISA S.A. of BOB 55,000 ($6,064), which is comprised of a revolving credit facility of BOB 48,800 ($5,380) for the financing of mining operations and working capital with a fixed interest rate between 6.0% and 10.00% per annum.

The Company also has an unsecured revolving credit facility for working capital requirements and a loan guarantee with Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A. for a total of BOB 48,020 ($5,294). The credit facility has a weighted average fixed interest rate of 10.00% per annum and the weighted average interest rate on the loan guarantee facility is 2.0%.

On August 8, 2025, the Company completed an offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718) under its San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program. The notes under the offering have an interest rate of 7.00% and a maturity date of June 15, 2026. On April 8, 2026, the Company completed an additional offering of BOB 70,000 ($7,718). The notes have an annual interest rate of 10.8168%, mature on March 22, 2027, and are unsecured.

On February 14, 2026 the Company obtained an unsecured 6 month working capital term loan for BOB 17,150 ($1,891) with a fixed interest rate of 10.0% with repayment of interest and principal at the end of the term from Banco Mercantil Santa Cruz S.A. On March 17, 2026, the Company obtained an unsecured 6 month working capital term loan for BOB 14,000 ($1,544) with a fixed interest rate of 10% with repayment of interest and principal at the end of the term from Banco Bisa S.A. On March 31, 2026, the Company obtained an additional working capital term loan from Banco BISA S.A. for BOB 69,986 ($7,716). The loan term is 360 calendar days and due on March 26, 2027. The loan is unsecured and has a fixed interest rate of 10%.

On December 30, 2024, the Financial System Supervisory Authority (ASFI) authorized the San Lucas Bonds Program. The San Lucas Bonds program allows the Company to issue up to $40,000 of unsecured bonds in the Bolivian Stock market (Bolsa Boliviana de Valores), the bonds can be denominated in USD or Bolivian Bolivianos. As at March 31, 2026, no bonds have been issued under the program.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Contractual Obligations (continued)

Cash Flow

The Company’s cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are summarized as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026			2025
Cash flow
Cash generated by operating activities		8,774			6,289
Cash (used by) provided by investing activities		(9,858	)		(16,845	)
Cash (used by) provided by financing activities		(471	)		7,366
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(1,555	)		(3,190	)
Effect of exchange rate on cash held in foreign currencies		(61	)		(4	)
Cash, beginning of the period		44,267			35,721
Cash, end of the period		42,651			32,527

Operating Activities

Operating cash flow for the quarter increased by $2,485 compared to 2025. Higher operating cash flow was primarily driven by a higher average realized price of silver of $63.30 during the quarter compared to $32.54 in the comparative period in 2025.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities decreased by $6,987 compared to 2025. The decrease was attributed to the full repayment and extinguishment of the base purchase price of the consideration payable to Glencore for the acquisition of Sinchi Wayra in 2025. This was offset by an increase in capital expenditures of $2,583 during the quarter.

The Company continues to invest in marketable securities that are held with Stifel Bank, which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia. The Company reinvested its $7,050 proceeds from disposals during the period into purchases of additional securities for the same amount

Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, cash used by financing activities was $471, compared to a net amount provided of $7,366 in 2025. During the current quarter, the Company received $24,347 from the proceeds of loans and repaid $25,445 on those loans and lease liabilities, compared to $33,555 and $26,189 respectively during 2025.

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $627, compared to $nil in 2025.

Capital Resources

The Company’s objective when managing capital is to maintain financial flexibility to continue as a going concern while optimizing growth and maximizing returns of investments from shareholders.

The Company monitors its capital structure and based on changes in operations and economic conditions, may from time to time adjust the structure by repurchasing shares, issuing new shares, issuing new debt or retiring existing debt. The Company prepares an annual budget and quarterly forecasts to facilitate the management of its capital requirements. The annual budget is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements with the exception of compliance with covenants for the San Lucas Promissory Notes Issuance program. The Company is fully compliant with all financial covenants stipulated in the agreement.

Liquidity Outlook

The Company believes that the cash on hand, combined with expected operating cash flows, will be sufficient to meet operating requirements as they arise for at least the next 12 months. With respect to longer term capital expenditure funding requirements, the Company believes that cash flow from its existing operations, available credit through existing debt facilities and access to debt and capital markets is adequate and will enable the Company to maintain an appropriate overall liquidity position. The Company continues to assess financing alternatives, including equity or debt or a combination of both, to fund future growth.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has not entered into any material off-balance sheet arrangement such as guarantee contracts, contingent interests in assets transferred to unconsolidated entities or derivative financial obligations.

Transactions with Related Parties

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company incurred the following charges for directors, officers, and other members of key management of the Company, as well as for companies controlled by directors and officers of the Company:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Management and consulting fees		695		682
Share-based compensation		395		149
		1,090		831

Of the $695 in management and consulting fees incurred with related parties during the three months ended March 31, 2026, $57 (2025 - $56) was related to directors’ fees and $638 (2025 - $626) was related to management fees.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The categories of the fair value hierarchy that reflect the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value are as follows:

	●	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
	●	Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
	●	Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability based on unobservable market data.

-28-

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments (continued)

The carrying values of cash, other receivables, and trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.

Marketable securities consist of US treasury notes and US treasury bills which are held as part of the Company’s cash position and liquidity management strategy. The marketable securities are measured at fair value using level 1 inputs, the unrealized gain/loss is recorded as other comprehensive income and once the securities are sold or mature the corresponding gain/loss is recorded as other income/expense.

The securities are held with Steifel bank which uses a portion of the holdings as collateral for the Standby Letters of Credit that were issued to Banco BISA and Banco Credito de Bolivia (see note 10(a) of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements). Although the securities held can be readily converted to cash they are restricted to the extent that the amounts serve as collateral. The Standby Letter of credit issued to Banco BISA is for $10,000 and expires on May 26, 2026. The standby letter of credit issued to Banco Credito de Bolivia is for $5,800 and expires on March 26, 2026, and automatically renews each year. Since the standby letter of credit to Banco Credito de Bolivia will renew indefinitely, the amount held as collateral has been classified as non-current.

Trade receivables are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of trade receivables is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices for the underlying commodity prices (silver, lead, zinc, copper) to which the receivable relates as the trade receivables are provisionally priced at the time of sale.

The fair value of the loans payable for disclosure purposes is determined using discounted cash flows based on the expected amounts and timing of future cash flows discounted using a market rate of interest adjusted for appropriate credit risk.

The levels in the fair value hierarchy into which the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized on the consolidated statements of financial position at fair value on a recurring basis were categorized as follows:

	March 31, 2026						December 31, 2025
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
	$		$		$		$		$		$
Assets
Marketable securities		22,232		-		-		-		-		-
Trade and other receivables		-		31,117		-		-		20,371		-
		22,232		31,117		-		-		20,371		-

Liabilities
Consideration payable		-		-		19,278		-		-		20,243
		-		-		19,278		-		-		20,243

The majority of the Company’s trade receivables arose from provisional concentrate sales and are valued using quoted market prices based on the forward London Metal Exchange for silver, zinc and lead and the London Bullion Market Association P.M. fix for silver.

The methodology and assessment of inputs for determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities as well as the levels of hierarchy for the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value remains unchanged from that as at December 31, 2025.

The Company has exposure to risks of varying degrees of significance which could affect its ability to achieve its strategic objectives for growth and shareholder returns. The Company’s Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.

-29-

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments (continued)

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s trade receivables.

The Company has concentrate contracts to sell the zinc and lead concentrates produced by all of the Company’s mines and the San Lucas trading business. Concentrate contracts are a common business practice in the mining industry. The terms of the concentrate contracts may require the Company to deliver concentrate that has a value greater than the payment received at the time of delivery, thereby introducing the Company to credit risk of the buyers of concentrates. Should any of these counterparties not honour purchase arrangements, or should any of them become insolvent, the Company may incur losses for products already shipped and be forced to sell its concentrates on the spot market or it may not have a market for its concentrates and therefore its future operating results may be materially adversely impacted. At March 31, 2026, the Company had receivable balances associated with buyers of its concentrates of $31,117 (December 31, 2025 - $20,371). The Company’s concentrate is sold to well-known concentrate buyers.

The following financial assets represent the maximum credit risk to the Company:

	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	$		$
Cash		42,651		44,267
Marketable securities		22,232		22,462
Trade and other receivables		52,990		43,348

Management constantly monitors and assesses the credit risk resulting from its concentrate sales, trading counterparties and customers. Other than as set out in the above table, the Company believes it is not exposed to significant credit risk.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a rigorous planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company’s normal operating requirements on an ongoing basis and its expansion plans. The Company strives to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and short-term investments, and its committed loan facilities.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that give rise to commitments for future minimum payments. The following tables summarize the remaining contractual maturities of the Company’s financial liabilities and operating and capital commitments on an undiscounted basis:

	<1 year		1 - 2 years		2 - 5 years		>5 years		Total
	$		$		$		$		$
Trade payables and accrued liabilities		42,174		6,606		-		-		49,320
Consideration payable - CVR & additional payments		2,319		5,372		11,927		6,840		26,458
Loans payable		48,627		215		-		-		48,842
Lease payments		39		35		35		-		109
		93,699		12,228		11,962		6,840		124,729

-30-

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments (continued)

Currency risk

The Company reports its financial statements in USD; however, the Company operates in jurisdictions that utilize other currencies. As a consequence, the financial results of the Company’s operations as reported in USD are subject to changes in the value of the USD relative to local currencies. Since the Company’s sales are denominated in USD and a portion of the Company’s operating costs and capital spending are in local currencies, the Company is negatively impacted by strengthening local currencies relative to the USD and positively impacted by the inverse.

The sensitivity of the Company’s net income to changes in the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Bolivian boliviano, the US dollar and the Mexican peso and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar, respectively, would be as follows: a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Bolivian boliviano would change the Company’s net income by approximately $178, a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Mexican peso would change the Company’s net income by approximately $146, and a 1% change in the US dollar exchange rate relative to the Canadian dollar would change the Company’s net income by approximately $(37).

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as at March 31, 2026 are denominated in Canadian dollars, US dollars, Bolivian bolivianos and Mexican pesos and translated to US dollars as follows:

	CAD		BOB			USD		MXN			Total
	$		$			$		$			$
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents		1,486		24,181			15,866		1,118			42,651

Net financial assets (liabilities)		1,266		(43,740	)		40,260		(16,599	)		(18,813	)

Interest rate risk

The fair values and future cash flows of the Company will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates generating interest rate risk. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and has not entered into any derivative contracts to manage this risk. As at March 31, 2026, the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk on interest bearing liabilities is limited to its consideration payable, debt facilities and lease liabilities. Based on the Company’s interest rate exposure at March 31, 2026, a change of 1% increase or decrease of market interest rate would impact the Company’s income or loss by approximately $489.

Price risk

Metal price risk is the risk that changes in metal prices will affect the Company’s income or the value of its related financial instruments. The Company derives its revenue from the sale of silver, zinc, lead and copper. The Company’s sales are directly dependent on metal prices that have shown significant volatility and are beyond the Company’s control. Consistent with the Company’s mission to provide equity investors with exposure to changes in precious metal prices, the Company’s current policy is to not hedge the price of precious metal.

-31-

Outstanding Share Data

As at the date of this report, the Company has 92,740,699 common shares issued and outstanding, 1,331,456 common shares issuable under stock options, 266,915 common shares issuable under restricted share units, 125,000 common shares issuable under performance share units, 168,750 common shares issuable under deferred share units.

On December 10, 2025 the Company consolidated its issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of one post-consolidated common share for every four pre-consolidated common shares. The number of issued and outstanding shares, options, warrants, DSUs, RSUs and PSUs, and any per share amounts in these financial statements have been retrospectively restated in notes 10, 13, and 23 for all periods presented unless otherwise stated.

Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company has disclosure controls and procedures in place to provide reasonable assurance that any information required to be disclosed by the Company under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the applicable time periods and that required information is gathered and communicated to the Company’s management so that decisions can be made about the timely disclosure of that information.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting. Any system of internal controls over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, believe that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls over financial reporting, 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 reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, the Company’s management cannot provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been prevented or detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgements in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a 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. The design of any control system is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under 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 not be detected.

Silver and Zinc Equivalent Production Figures

Commencing Q1 2026, the Company modified its production disclosure to include Zinc Equivalent tonnes produced and has updated the method of calculating Silver Equivalent Ounces produced. The Company considers silver equivalent (“AgEq”) ounces and zinc equivalent (“ZnEq”) tonnes to be useful production metrics for evaluating its multi-metal production profile but they should be considered only supplemental. These measures are commonly used in the mining industry as reference metrics to facilitate period-over-period comparisons and, where relevant, benchmarking against industry peers. The metrics should be viewed as supplemental to, and not a substitute for the actual metal production volumes disclosed for each metal.

AgEq ounces and ZnEq tonnes are calculated by applying conversion factors that normalize the value of each non-reference metal to the selected reference metal. For AgEq ounces, the values of zinc, lead, and copper are converted into silver equivalent ounces. For ZnEq tonnes, the values of silver, lead, and copper are converted into zinc equivalent tonnes. Each conversion factor is derived from the ratio of the in-situ metal value of the contained fine metal to the price of the reference metal used in the equivalency calculation. The denominator used to calculate silver equivalent ounces is the silver price, while the denominator used to calculate zinc equivalent tonnes is the zinc price. This methodology expresses multi-metal production in a common unit of measure. Since the silver price and zinc price are the denominators in each metric, price variations of these metals can significantly affect the result, especially when one metal price changes significantly relative to the other metal prices.

Non-GAAP Measures (continued)

The metal prices used in the calculation of AgEq and ZnEq are based on the average quarterly prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). Previously, the Company used budgeted metal prices which were only updated annually. The Company considers that it is more appropriate to use the quarter’s actual prices to determine the period’s AgEq and ZnEq production volumes to better reflect production results in the context of volatile market prices. Previously reported AgEq ounces produced have been updated using the period’s corresponding quarterly average LME prices instead of the budgeted prices which were previously used.

Metal Prices	Silver		Zinc		Lead		Copper
	$		$		$		$
Average Q1-LME - 2026		84.39		3,243		1,931		12,852
Average Q4-LME - 2025		54.83		3,165		1,971		11,100
Average Q1-LME - 2025		31.91		2,838		1,970		9,346

The methods used by the Company to calculate these equivalencies may differ from those used by other companies reporting similar metrics and may not be directly comparable. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Cash costs, all -in sustaining costs, average realized price and mining and ore processing margin

The Company has included certain non-GAAP performance measures throughout this MD&A including cash cost per tonne milled, cash cost per silver ounce sold, cash cost per zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per zinc tonne sold, average realized price per silver ounce sold, average realized price per zinc tonne sold, mining/ore processing margin per silver ounce sold, mining/ore processing margin per zinc tonne sold, and adjusted EBITDA each as defined in this section.

These performance measures are employed by the Company to measure its operating and financial performance internally, to assist in business decision-making, and provide key performance information to senior management. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and other stakeholders also use these non-GAAP measures as information to evaluate the Company’s operating and financial performance. As there are no standardized methods of calculating these non-GAAP measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others and, accordingly, the Company’s use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Cash cost of production per tonne milled, cash cost per silver ounce sold, cash cost per zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per zinc tonne sold

The non-GAAP measures of cash cost per silver ounce sold and cash cost per zinc tonne sold and cash cost of production per tonne milled are used by the Company to manage and evaluate operating performance at respective mining operations and are widely reported in the silver mining industry as benchmarks for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning. cash costs are calculated based on the cash operating costs at the respective mining operations and, in the case of cash cost per silver ounce sold and cash cost per zinc tonne sold, also include the third party concentrate treatment, smelting and refining cost.

Management of the Company believes that the Company’s ability to control the cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold and cash cost of production per tonne milled are three of its key performance drivers impacting both the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Having a low cash cost of production per tonne milled, when taken in connection with effective management of mining dilution, will improve the cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne produced. Having a low-cost base per silver ounce and zinc tonne of production allows the Company to continue operating during times of declining commodity prices and provides more flexibility in responding to changing market conditions. In addition, low-cost operations offer a better opportunity to generate positive cash-flows, which improves the Company’s financial condition. The Company believes these measures provide investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s underlying cash costs of operations and are relevant metrics used to understand the Company’s operating profitability and ability to generate cash-flow.

Non-GAAP Measures (continued)

To facilitate a better understanding of these measures as calculated by the Company, the following tables provides a detailed reconciliation between the cash cost per silver ounce sold, cash cost per zinc tonne sold and the cash cost of production per tonne milled, and the Company’s operating expenses as reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) contained in the respective financial statements for the referenced periods.

The company’s operations are poly-metallic whereby each tonne of ore milled generates primarily payable ounces of silver and tonnes of zinc but also generates payable tonnes of lead and copper. The combined revenues of lead and copper are incidental to our primary metal production of silver and zinc because they generate less than 10% of total revenues. Lead and copper concentrate is produced primarily to obtain the silver contained within so the Company has adopted the practice of calculating the net cost of producing an ounce of silver, after deducting revenues gained from incidental by-product production of lead and copper. This performance measurement has been commonly used in the mining industry for many years and was developed as a relatively simple way of comparing the net production costs of the primary metal for a specific period against the prevailing market price of that metal.

The company’s primary payable metals are silver ounces and zinc tonnes, the revenue generated by each metal varies depending on prevailing metal prices but because one metal generates greater than 30% of the total revenues, the Company has concluded that reporting costs as co-products by silver ounces sold and zinc tonnes sold is the most appropriate way to assess the performance of its operations. The total tonnes of ore milled in the period generates silver and zinc payable metals, the ratio of payable silver and zinc produced from each tonne milled is used to allocate each period’s production costs between silver ounces sold and zinc tonnes sold. The company calculates the tonnes milled to payable silver and zinc for each operation and for each period separately in order to most appropriately allocate costs between each primary metal for the purposes of determining the cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold.

AISC is a non-GAAP measure and was calculated based on guidance provided by the World Gold Council (“WGC”) in September 2013. WGC is not a regulatory industry organization and does not have the authority to develop accounting standards for disclosure requirements. Other mining companies may calculate AISC differently as a result of differences in underlying accounting principles and policies applied, as well as differences in definitions of sustaining versus development capital expenditures.

AISC is a more comprehensive measure than cash cost per ounce for the Company’s operating performance by providing greater visibility, comparability and representation of the total costs associated with producing silver from its mining operations.

Consolidated AISC includes total production cash costs incurred at the Company’s mining operations, which forms the basis of the Company’s total cash costs. Additionally, the Company includes sustaining capital expenditures, corporate general and administrative expense, sustaining share-based payments, and reclamation cost accretion. The Company defines sustaining capital expenditures as, “costs incurred to sustain and maintain existing assets at current productive capacity and constant planned levels of productive output without resulting in an increase in the life of assets, future earnings, or improvements in recovery or grade. Sustaining capital includes costs required to improve/enhance assets to minimum standards for reliability, environmental or safety requirements.”

The Company believes that the AISC measure represents the total sustainable costs of producing silver and zinc from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders of the Company with additional information of the Company’s operational performance and ability to generate cash flows. As the measure seeks to reflect the full cost of silver and zinc production from current operations, new project capital and expansionary capital at current operations are not included. Certain other cash expenditures, including tax payments, dividends and financing costs are also not included.

Realized ore processing margin for silver ounces and zinc tonnes sold

The key metric for evaluating the performance and profitability of ore processing operations is the realized ore processing margin. The realized ore processing margin is calculated by subtracting the All-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold from the Average realized price per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold. The non-GAAP measures of cash cost per silver ounce sold and zinc tonne sold and the AISC per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold for Ore Processing operations are calculated based upon the same basis as those used to calculate the same metrics for mining operations.

Readers should be cautioned that the cash cost, AISC and cash cost per Tonne Milled are not key metrics for evaluating the performance of our ore processing operations because ore is purchased from third-party miners who are paid based upon the metal content and prevailing market prices at the time of purchase. The cash cost per silver ounce sold and zinc tonne sold and the AISC per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold should not be compared to or consolidated with the results from the Mining operations because of the difference in the process.

The cash cost and AISC per silver ounce sold and zinc tonne sold are presented below only to help the reader understand how the realized ore processing margin has been calculated and they should not be evaluated or compared with the metrics from the mining operations.

San Lucas provides Santacruz with an important strategic advantage by supplying third-party ore feed to existing processing plants, helping maintain high plant utilization and support more stable operating performance. By keeping processing facilities closer to full capacity, San Lucas contributes to better absorption of fixed costs across the production base, which can improve unit cost efficiency and strengthen margins. In addition, the business provides operational flexibility by allowing the Company to supplement mine production with externally sourced material when appropriate, while generating margin-based returns tied to processing capacity, metallurgical recoveries, and disciplined ore purchasing. This model enhances the overall resilience of the Company’s operating platform and supports a more efficient use of existing infrastructure.

The Company believes the realized ore processing margin provides investors and analysts with useful information about the Company’s underlying operating performance from its Ore processing operations.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure in which net income is adjusted for income tax expense, interest income, interest expense, amortization and depletion, and impairment charges, foreign exchange gains or losses, unrealized losses or gains on marketable securities, share-based payments expense, accretion expense, changes in fair value of consideration payable and other non-recurring items. Foreign exchange gains or losses may consist of both realized and unrealized losses.

Under IFRS, entities must reflect in compensation expense the cost of share-based payments. In the Company’s circumstances, share-based payments can involve a significant accrual of amounts that will not be settled in cash but are settled by the issuance of shares in exchange.

The Company discloses Adjusted EBITDA to aid in understanding of the results of the Company and is meant to provide further information about the Company’s financial results to investors.

The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

1. Cash includes $42.7 million and highly-liquid marketable securities includes $22.2 million, consisting of US treasury notes and bills, of which $15.8 million serves as collateral for short-term borrowings.

2. The Company reports non-GAAP measures, which includes: adjusted EBITDA, average realized price per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost per ounce of silver and zinc tonne sold (AISC) and realized mining margin per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from methods used by other companies even though the metrics have the same or similar names. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Measures” in the MD&A for more information.

Arturo Préstamo, Executive Chairman and CEO of Santacruz, commented: “Santacruz delivered a strong start to 2026, with revenue of $127.5 million, gross profit of $42.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA of $42.6 million, representing improvements of 81%, 54%, and 55%, respectively, compared to the same period last year. Combined with our stable AISC this quarter, the stronger silver price environment drove robust margins of $31.70 per silver ounce sold, a 221% increase year-over-year. This reinforces the strength of our cash flow generation across our operations, reflecting both a stronger commodity environment and the operating discipline we have embedded across every asset. It is also important to highlight that after paying $31.5 million in taxes during this first quarter, we ended Q1 2026 with a healthy cash and highly liquid marketable securities position of $64.9 million, providing Santacruz with the financial flexibility to continue funding operational improvements while maintaining a strong treasury position.”

Mr. Préstamo continued: “During the quarter, we also introduced a more comprehensive reporting format designed to provide investors with a clearer view of our operating performance and the underlying strength of our business model. The new presentation better reflects Santacruz as a silver and zinc co-product producer, while separately highlighting San Lucas as a margin-based ore sourcing and processing business that supports plant utilization, fixed-cost absorption and operating flexibility. We believe this enhanced reporting framework provides a more complete basis for investors to assess production, costs, margins and cash generation across the Company.”

Mr. Préstamo added: “Operationally, the first quarter demonstrated the strength of our diversified asset base and the benefits of our silver and zinc co-product profile. At Bolivar, the recovery of the areas affected by the May 2025 localized water inflow event continues to advance. We remain focused on restoring production while maintaining operating discipline, with Q4 2026 still targeted for Bolivar’s full recovery. Across Bolivia, our priorities remain focused on operational stability, cost control and plant performance, with San Lucas continuing to play a strategic role in supporting plant utilization, fixed-cost absorption and margin contribution through third-party ore sourcing.”

Mr. Préstamo concluded: “In Mexico, our principal focus remains on improving metallurgical recoveries and concentrate quality at Zimapan, our highest-volume operation. The capital already invested in Zimapan is expected to support continued operating improvements throughout 2026. Across all of our processing plants, we remain focused on improving metallurgical recoveries, generating stronger margins and preserving the flexibility of our integrated operating platform to support long-term value creation for shareholders.”

Selected consolidated financial and operating information for Q1 2026, Q4 2025 and Q1 2025 is presented below. All financial information is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), and all dollar amounts are expressed in thousands of US dollars, except per unit amounts, unless otherwise indicated.

Update to Non-GAAP Performance Measures and Silver/Zinc Equivalent Ounces Metrics

In Q1 2026, the Company updated its non-GAAP performances measures to provide management and readers with useful information to evaluate the performance of the Company. The following section provides a summary of the changes made:

Segregation of mining operations & ore processing: Operational and cost metrics are now presented as either Mining operations or Ore processing operations because the underlying business processes and profitability drivers each type of operation are fundamentally different. Mining operations include the production metrics, revenues and costs from extracting ore from the Company’s mineral properties which is then processed and sold in concentrate form. Santacruz’s mining operations consist of the Bolivar, Porco, Caballo Blanco and Zimapan mines. Ore processing operations consist of the San Lucas feed sourcing business and includes the production metrics, revenue and costs from purchasing ore from third-party miners which is then processed and sold in concentrate form. Mining operations generate high margins because the input for the final product, metal concentrates, is from ore that is extracted from the Company’s mine properties that it owns. Ore processing operations generate significantly lower margins because the ore is purchased from third-party miners and the amount paid for the purchased ore is based upon the ore’s metal content and prevailing metal prices at the time of purchase.

Co-product costing methodology: The Company will no longer focus on costs per silver equivalent ounces sold and will now provide costs per actual silver ounce and zinc tonne sold in the period using a co-product cost methodology which allocates costs between each metal. The Santacruz’s primary payable metals are silver and zinc, the revenue generated by each metal varies depending on prevailing metal prices but because each metal generates greater than 30% of the total revenues, the Company has concluded that reporting costs as co-products by silver ounce sold and zinc tonne sold is the most appropriate way to assess the performance of its operations. The total tonnes of ore milled in the period generates silver and zinc payable metals for sale, the ratio of payable silver and zinc produced from each tonne milled is used to allocate each period’s production costs between silver ounces sold and zinc tonnes sold, which will generate the following metrics: cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold and will also provide an average realized price per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold.

By-product credits from secondary metal sales: Santacruz’s operations are poly-metallic whereby each tonne of ore milled generates primarily payable ounces of silver and tonnes of zinc but also generates payable tonnes of lead and copper. The combined revenues of lead and copper are incidental to the Company’s primary metal production of silver and zinc because they generate less than 10% of total revenues. Lead and copper concentrate is produced primarily to obtain the silver contained within, so the Company has adopted the practice of calculating the net cost of producing an ounce of silver, after deducting revenues gained from incidental by-product production of lead and copper.

Realized mining margin and realized ore processing margin: Santacruz has created two new non-GAAP measures: the realized mining margin and realized ore processing margin. Management believes the margins are an effective way to evaluate the profitability of the Company’s operations. The margin is calculated by subtracting the all-in sustaining cost per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold from the average realized price per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold.

Silver equivalent ounces and Zinc equivalent tonnes: Commencing Q1 2026, the Company has modified its production disclosure to include zinc equivalent tonnes produced and has updated the method of calculating silver equivalent ounces produced. The Company considers silver equivalent (“AgEq”) ounces and zinc equivalent (“ZnEq”) tonnes to be useful production metrics for evaluating its multi-metal production profile, but they should be considered only supplemental to the actual production volumes of silver and zinc produced and sold. The Company will continue to present the silver equivalent ounces produced and zinc equivalent ounces produced for the combined mining and ore processing operations, but will no longer report its costs per silver ounce to focus on the more relevant metrics of cost per payable silver ounce and cost per payable zinc tonne sold instead.

As there are no standardized methods of calculating non-GAAP measures, the Company’s methods may differ from those used by others and, accordingly, the Company’s use of these measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures used by others. Accordingly, these non-GAAP measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to the Non-GAAP Measures section in the Company’s Q1 2026 MD&A for a detailed explanation of the metrics, the methodology used and a reconciliation of these measures to the Company’s revenues and operating expenses, as reported in its condensed interim consolidated financial statements which are prepared under IFRS. All the changes made to the non-GAAP measures have been applied retrospectively to comparative periods.

Notes:

⁽¹⁾Mining operations includes only production from Bolivar, Porco, Caballo Blanco and Zimapan. Ore processing includes only production from San Lucas ore processing business. Readers are cautioned that Bolivar and Porco production figures are presented at 100% however the Company records only its 45% interest in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Illapa business in its consolidated financial statements. The Company reports its segment information on a 100% basis with respect to Bolivar and Porco together with an elimination column representing COMIBOL’s 55% interest (refer to segment information note of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements).

⁽²⁾Silver equivalent ounces and zinc equivalent tonnes produced have been calculated using the period’s average metal prices quoted on the London Metal Exchange. The silver and zinc equivalent production is calculated by dividing each metal’s price by the price of Silver or Zinc to arrive at their equivalent. Refer to the section titled “Methodology for the Calculation of Silver and Zince Equivalent Production Figures” in the MD&A for further information.

⁽³⁾Silver ounces sold (payable) and Zinc tonnes sold (payable) are lower than the volumes produced due to two effects: (i) timing — concentrates produced in a quarter may be shipped and invoiced in a subsequent period; and (ii) commercial terms — payable ounces under offtake agreements are lower than produced ounces due to standard treatment and quality deductions applied by the customer.

⁽⁴⁾The Company reports non-GAAP measures, which include: cash cost of production per tonne milled, cash cost per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, average realized price per silver ounce and zinc tonne sold, all-in sustaining cost per silver ounce, zinc tonne sold, realized mining margin per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold and realized ore processing margin per silver ounce or zinc tonne sold. These measures are widely used in the mining industry as a benchmark for performance, but do not have a standardized meaning and may differ from methods used by other companies even though the metrics have the same or similar names. Refer to the section titled “Non-GAAP Measures” below for further information.

Summary

Q1 2026 vs Q4 2025

On a consolidated basis, Santacruz’s mining operations produced 1.0 million ounces of silver in Q1 2026, representing a 2% increase compared with Q4 2025. When including San Lucas´s ore processing activities, total silver production was broadly unchanged at 1.3 million ounces. This indicates that the Company maintained stable silver output at the consolidated level, supported by improved performance in certain mining operations, including the continued recovery at Bolivar and stronger silver production at Caballo Blanco, which offset lower silver production at Zimapan and Porco. Zinc production from mining operations decreased by 10% to 14,496 tonnes, while total zinc production, including ore processing, decreased by 9% to 21,640 tonnes. The reduction in zinc production mainly reflected lower zinc output at Zimapan and Caballo Blanco, partially offset by the contribution from other operating areas and ore processing activities.

From a financial contribution perspective, the margin analysis evaluates how consolidated productive performance translates into unit economics by comparing the Average Realized Price for each metal against its respective AISC. For silver, the Average Realized Price increased to $63.30 per ounce, while AISC decreased to $31.60 per ounce. As a result, the realized mining margin per silver ounce sold increased to $31.70 from $13.56 in Q4 2025. This represents a significant improvement in silver unit margins, driven primarily by stronger realized silver prices and lower AISC. For zinc, the Average Realized Price decreased to $3,116 per tonne, while AISC increased to $2,729 per tonne. The resulting realized mining margin per zinc tonne sold was $387, compared with $704 in Q4 2025. Zinc therefore remained positive on a unit-margin basis, although the margin narrowed as the decrease in realized zinc price and the increase in AISC reduced the spread between realized price and cost. Overall, both silver and zinc generated positive consolidated unit margins in Q1 2026, with silver providing the stronger financial contribution based on the spread between realized price and AISC.

Q1 2026 vs Q1 2025

Compared with Q1 2025, consolidated mining operations produced 1.0 million ounces of silver, a decrease of 23%. Including San Lucas´s ore processing activities, total silver production decreased by 16% to 1.3 million ounces. The year-over-year decline was mainly attributable to lower silver production from mining operations, including the effect of lower silver output at Bolivar following the water inflow event that affected that operation toward the end of Q2 2025, as well as lower silver production at Zimapan and Caballo Blanco. This was partially mitigated by operational execution and ore processing activities, which continued to support consolidated metal production. Zinc production from mining operations was broadly stable, decreasing by 1% to 14,496 tonnes, while total zinc production, including ore processing, increased by 4% to 21,640 tonnes. This indicates that zinc output remained comparatively resilient at the consolidated level, supported by the broader contribution of the Company’s operating platform.

From a financial contribution perspective, Santacruz generated positive unit margins for both silver and zinc in Q1 2026. The Average Realized Silver Price increased to $63.30 per ounce from $27.80 per ounce in Q1 2025, while silver AISC increased to $31.60 per ounce from $17.91 per ounce. As a result, the realized mining margin per silver ounce sold increased to $31.70 from $9.89, reflecting the strong increase in realized silver prices, which more than offset higher unit costs. For zinc, the Average Realized Price increased to $3,116 per tonne, while AISC increased to $2,729 per tonne. The resulting realized mining margin was $387 per tonne, compared with $718 per tonne in Q1 2025. Zinc therefore remained positive on a unit-margin basis, although the margin contracted year over year due to the increase in AISC. Overall, silver was the primary driver of improved consolidated unit-margin performance in Q1 2026, while zinc continued to contribute positively but at a lower margin than in the prior-year period.
