Article content
1. Non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Measures” section below for additional information.
2. Foreign exchange rates used to forecast cost metrics include XOF/USD of 560 and CAD/USD of 1.35.
3. Government royalties included in AISC guidance based on an assumed gold price of $4,500 per oz (12% royalty rate).
Article content
Guidance in the above table excludes any figures from the acquisition of the Casa Berardi gold mine on March 25, 2026. The Company intends to update its 2026 guidance in Q2-2026 to incorporate planned production, costs, and capital expenditures for Casa Berardi in the 2026 post-acquisition period.
Article content
At Bomboré, gold production in 2026 is forecasted to range between 160,000 to 180,000 oz, an increase of between 45% to 64% of gold produced in 2025. The higher gold production is attributable to a full year of hard rock operations with gold production weighted towards the H2-2026 from expected improvements in hard rock head grades and plant throughput. A temporary shortage of explosives deliveries and pre-stripping requirements at the higher-grade P17S pit will result in gold production being the lowest in Q1-2026.
Article content
Article content
AISC per oz will fluctuate with movements in the gold price, exchange rates, grid power, consumable prices, and head grades. Government royalties are on a sliding scale based on a new royalty rate structure that came into effect in April 2025 (for each $500/oz increment in gold prices starting at $3,000/oz, royalty rate increases by 1% on the entire gold price). Costs are also sensitive to movements in the local XOF currency and to the supply of stable grid power by SONABEL (Burkina Faso’s state-owned electricity company). Grid utilization will be lower in H1-2026, reflecting both seasonality of supply and the expected timing of upgrades by SONABEL to the regional substation that supplies power to Bomboré.
Article content
Sustaining capital is budgeted to fall within the range of $21M to $23M for the annual lift of the tailings storage facility (“TSF”), an additional oxide CIL tank, drilling equipment, and other capital improvements to the process plant, mine support facilities, and mine infrastructure.
Article content
Growth capital is expected to range between $44M to $52M on three growth projects:
Article content
| No. | Growth Capital Description | Unit | FY2026 Guidance |
| I | Hard Rock Expansion – Stage 2A | $M | $15 – $18 |
| II | TSF Footprint Expansion – Cell 2 | $M | $9 – $11 |
| III | Resettlement Action Plan (“RAP”) | $M | $20 – $23 |
| Total | $M | $44 – $52 | |
Article content
I. Hard Rock Expansion – Stage 2A
Article content
Stage 1 of the expansion involved the construction of a 2.5 million tonnes per annum (“Mtpa”) hard rock process plant. Stage 2, the final build-out of the hard rock plant, is designed to increase the plant nameplate from 2.5 Mtpa to 5.5 Mtpa.
Article content
For 2026, the Company has allocated capital toward the installation of Stage 2 components that will benefit the reliability and process recovery of the hard rock plant (“Stage 2A”). Stage 2A is scheduled to be completed in Q3-2026 and will consist of a rock breaker, thickener, and oxygen plant. The Company is adopting a measured capital investment strategy for the balance of the Stage 2 construction, the timing of which remains under review.
Article content
II. TSF Footprint Expansion – Cell 2
Article content
Work to expand TSF footprint southwards into Cell 2 commenced in 2025 and is planned for completion in Q2-2026. Cell 2 will be a fully lined facility with underdrainage installed to improve water recovery and storage capacity. Cell 2 will cover the ultimate TSF footprint and is designed to ensure annual lifts will provide sufficient storage of tailings generated each year by the combined oxide and hard rock operations.
Article content
Article content
III. Resettlement Action Plan – Phase IV
Article content
RAP Phase IV is included in of the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) submitted by the Company in 2024 to expand the current mining permit by an additional 7.65 km2.
Article content
Construction works scheduled in 2026 include private and public structures for household relocations to the BV2 and MV2 resettlement site extensions by October, and the start of the MV3 resettlement site extension in Q4-2026. To allow year-round mining access to the P17S pit, a diversion channel and permanent haul bridge over the Bomboré river will also be constructed.
Article content
RAP costs of $17.0M to $19.0M are forecasted for construction activities while costs of $3.0M to $4.0M are estimated for compensation, consultants, relocation allowance, and livelihood restoration programs.

1. Non-IFRS measure. See “Non-IFRS Measures” section below for additional information.
2. Foreign exchange rates used to forecast cost metrics include XOF/USD of 600 and CAD/USD of 1.35 in original guidance.
3. Government royalties included in AISC guidance based on an assumed gold price of $2,600 per oz in original guidance.
4. Revised AISC guidance provided on November 12, 2025 based on 9M-2025 actuals and forecast for Q4-2025 assuming government royalties using a gold price $4,000 per oz and XOF/USD exchange rate of 570.
Article content
Gold production in 2025 was slightly below guidance primarily as a result of lower-than-forecasted production from the new hard rock circuit mainly due to lower head grades during commissioning. Hard rock grades mined were below plan as a result of adjusted mine sequencing from the pending approval of the explosive storage permit and the intermittent availability of explosives.
Article content
AISC per gold oz sold was within the revised guidance. Original guidance for AISC was exceeded primarily from higher royalties linked to higher realized gold prices and a stronger XOF currency impacting local costs.
Article content
Growth capital projects were either successfully completed in 2025 or on track for completion in 2026 as follows:

Article content
II. Permanent Back-Up Diesel Power Plant
Article content
The new diesel power plant was successfully commissioned in December 2025 as back-up to the grid to meet the 18MW to 20MW load demand of the oxide plant and the stage 1 hard rock plant. The new back-up power plant consists of ten new Caterpillar diesel gensets purchased from African Power Services (“APS”) operating alongside the eight rental gensets supplied by APS.
Article content
III. TSF Footprint Expansion – Cell 2
Article content
Expansion of the TSF footprint southwards into Cell 2 commenced in 2025 with progress tracking to completion in 2026. Progress as of December 31, 2025 reached 95% for embankment wall construction and 28% for HDPE liner and underdrainage placement.
Article content
Article content
Cost overrun in 2025 is due to scope additions as waste placement and compaction were extended to the ultimate embankment toe of future lifts due to availability of nearby mining waste which will help reduce the future costs of subsequent lifts.
Article content
IV. Resettlement Action Plan
Article content
Construction of the main MV2 and BV2 resettlement sites were completed as planned during 2025 with the start of the BV2 site extension in October 2025 as part of Phase IV RAP. Cost underruns were achieved on RAP construction activities from tight supervision and greater use of local contractors.

BOMBORÉ PRODUCTION RESULTS
Article content
Q4-2025 vs Q4-2024
Article content
Gold production in Q4-2025 was 30,407 oz, a decrease of 17% from the 36,502 oz produced in Q4-2024. The lower gold production is attributable to an expected decrease in oxide head grades partially offset by an increase in plant throughput from the start-up of the new hard rock plant in December 2025.
Article content
Oxide head grades were higher in Q4-2024 due to mining access at the Siga East and Siga South pits following community relocations. The mine plan prioritized areas of higher grade oxide ore from the upper benches of these new pits.
Article content
2025 vs 2024
Article content
Gold production in 2025 was 110,014 oz, a decrease of 7% from the 118,746 oz produced in 2024. The lower gold production is primarily attributable to an expected decrease in oxide head grades partially offset by an increase in plant throughput.
Article content
Lower head grades were expected in 2025 as higher grade pits were sequenced in earlier periods of the mine plan including the start of mining at the Siga East and Siga South pits in the H2-2024 which contributed to the better ore grades in 2024.
Article content
Plant throughput in 2025 was 7% higher than 2024 as plant operating hours in 2024 were impacted by the commissioning of grid power in Q1-2024 and the frequent grid interruptions in Q2-2024. In addition, oxide plant optimization initiatives to improve throughput by increasing mill power draw and reducing CIL residence time were successfully implemented starting in Q3-2024. The new hard rock plant processed 146K tonnes during commissioning in December 2025, contributing 2% to this yearly increase.

BOMBORÉ OPERATING COSTS
Article content
Q4-2025 vs Q4-2024
Article content
AISC per gold oz sold in Q4-2025 was $1,942, a 53% increase from $1,273 per oz sold in Q4-2024. The higher AISC is primarily attributable to: (a) a 19% drop in head grades; (b) greater per oz royalty costs ($459/oz vs $216/oz) from a 57% rise in the realized gold price and a higher government royalty structure that passed into law in April 2025; and (c) a stronger XOF currency (+8% movement) impacting local costs.
Article content
Cash cost per ore tonne processed in Q4-2025 increased 23% to $22.74/tonne from $18.44/tonne in Q4-2024, driven mainly by a stronger XOF currency impacting costs in all departments. For mining, higher per tonne costs were driven by a higher strip ratio (1.63 vs 1.29), longer haul profiles, and contractor and fuel costs being set in the local currency. For processing, higher per tonne consumption rates for power from more transitional ore fed into the oxide circuit and the processing of hard rock mineral reserves which consumes more power, grinding media, and reagents contributed in part to the increase in processing cost per tonne.

Article content
2025 vs 2024
Article content
AISC per gold oz sold in 2025 was $1,776, a 23% increase from $1,447 per oz sold in 2024. The higher AISC is mainly from: (a) a 13% drop in head grades; (b) greater per oz royalty costs ($328/oz vs $192/oz) due to a 44% rise in the realized gold price and new higher government royalty rates; and (c) a stronger XOF currency (+4% movement) impacting local costs.
Article content
Cash cost per ore tonne processed in 2025 showed only a modest increase of 7% to $22.09/tonne from $20.61/tonne in 2024 as a result of a higher strip ratio and a stronger XOF currency impacting costs across all departments. Costs remain well-controlled despite inflationary increases in labour and supplies, and expanding requirements for local content.
