First Quarter 2026 Operational and Financial Highlights
- Produced 123,900 ounces of gold in the first quarter of 2026, in-line with quarterly guidance with strong results from the
Island Gold District offsetting lower than planned production atYoung -Davidson . Production is expected to increase in the second quarter with further growth in the second half of the year, putting the Company on track to achieve full year production guidance - Sold 121,924 ounces of gold at an average realized price of
$4,829 per ounce, generating record quarterly revenues of$596.7 million , including silver sales. This represented a 79% increase from the first quarter of 2025 and marked the fourth consecutive quarter of record revenues - Cost of sales were
$205.5 million , or$1,685 per ounce in the first quarter. Total cash costs1 of$1,230 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC"1) of$1,862 per ounce for the first quarter were above the top end of guidance for the first half of 2026, as previously guided. Total cash costs and AISC are expected to decrease in the second quarter and further into the second half of the year, driven by low-cost growth from theIsland Gold District , and lower costs fromYoung -Davidson - First quarter cash flow from operating activities was
$242.5 million (including a record$338.0 million before changes in working capital and taxes paid1, or$0.80 per share) - Generated strong free cash flow1 of
$101.7 million in the first quarter, while continuing to invest in high return growth projects, and net of$82.0 million paid in cash taxes - Reported net earnings were
$191.4 million for the first quarter, or$0.46 per share. Adjusted net earnings1 were$232.0 million , or$0.55 per share1. Adjusted earnings include after-tax adjustment for net losses on commodity hedge derivatives of$20.2 million , adjustments for net unrealized foreign exchange losses recorded within deferred taxes and foreign exchange totaling$19.3 million , and other adjustments of$1.1 million - Cash and cash equivalents increased to
$659.5 million atMarch 31, 2026 , up from$623.1 million at the end of 2025. This reflected strong ongoing free cash flow while funding high-return growth, increased shareholder returns, and$42.7 million used to retire additional legacy gold hedges. The Company remains well-positioned to internally fund all of its growth initiatives with strong ongoing free cash flow, net cash of$459.5 million , and approximately$1.2 billion of total liquidity - Announced a 60% increase in the quarterly dividend rate to
$0.04 per share, with$16.6 million paid in the first quarter - Repurchased and eliminated approximately one-third of legacy gold hedges from
Argonaut Gold Inc. ("Argonaut") that were scheduled to mature in the second half of 2026, providing further upside to higher gold prices. These contracts totaled 15,000 ounces at an average price of$1,821 per ounce. The Company utilized existing cash to eliminate the hedges at a cost of$42.7 million for an effective price of approximately$4,667 per ounce - Announced the IGD Expansion Study on
February 3, 2026 , outlining a long-life operation that is expected to become one of the largest, lowest-cost, and most profitable gold mines inCanada with annual production expected to increase to average 534,000 ounces over the initial 10 years (starting in 2028) at average mine-site AISC of$1,025 per ounce. At a gold price of$4,500 per ounce and USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of$0 .74:1, theIsland Gold District has an estimated after-tax net present value ("NPV") (5%) of$12.2 billion , making it one of the most valuable gold mines inCanada . The IGD Expansion is progressing well and remains on track for completion in 2028 - Advanced the Phase 3+ Shaft Expansion at the
Island Gold District . This included completing the shaft sink and advancing construction of the paste plant and administrative complex. Construction of the shaft and surface infrastructure is expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2026, and commissioning of the shaft completed in early 2027 - Reported year-end 2025 Mineral Reserves of 15.9 million ounces (265 million tonnes ("mt")), a 32% increase from the end of 2024, with grades also increasing 5% to 1.87 grams per tonne (“g/t Au”). This marked the seventh consecutive year Mineral Reserves have increased for a cumulative increase of 64%, with grades also increasing 24% over that time frame

The Company’s objective is to operate a sustainable business model that supports growing returns to all stakeholders over the long-term, through growing production, expanding margins, and increasing profitability. This includes a balanced approach to capital allocation focused on generating strong ongoing free cash flow while re-investing in high-return internal growth opportunities, and supporting higher returns to shareholders.
During the first quarter, the Company delivered on these objectives across multiple fronts, including meeting quarterly guidance while continuing to advance its high-return growth projects. First quarter production of 123,900 ounces was in line with guidance with a strong performance from the
Underground mining rates at Island Gold increased to average a new record of over 1,400 tpd during the first quarter, while the addition of the supplementary crushed ore feed in the second half of February and other operational improvements supported the ramp up of processing rates in the Magino mill to average 9,200 tpd over the past six weeks. The ramp up of underground mining rates is expected to continue through the year supporting growing production from the
All three operations are expected to contribute to a substantial growth in the second quarter with production expected to increase to between 145,000 and 155,000 ounces. With stronger production expected into the second half of the year, the Company remains on track to achieve full year guidance. Reflecting the stronger production, AISC are expected to decrease approximately 5% in the second quarter with a more significant improvement into the second half of the year. The Company continues to monitor the impact of ongoing inflationary pressures across its cost structure. This includes higher labour, contractor, diesel, electricity and natural gas costs, and the downstream impact of higher energy prices on other consumables. The Company expects to manage these cost pressures with productivity improvements through the year driving costs lower and significant margin expansion at current gold prices.
This trend of growing production and declining costs is expected to continue through the end of the decade driven by the Company's portfolio of high-return and low-cost growth projects. This includes the
In parallel, work on the Magino mill expansion to 20,000 tpd continues to progress with construction and exterior cladding of the new mill building well underway. The completion of the IGD Expansion in 2028 is expected to support a further increase in production to a range of 755,000 to 835,000 ounces, representing a 15% increase from 2027 and cumulative 46% increase from 2025.

Island Gold Operational Review
Underground mining rates increased to average a record 1,423 tpd in the first quarter, 16% higher than the prior year period and consistent with first quarter guidance. Mining rates are expected to steadily increase through the remainder of the year to 2,000 tpd by the end of 2026. A further increase in mining rates to 2,400 tpd is expected early in 2027 with the commissioning of the shaft infrastructure.
Underground grades mined averaged 9.38 g/t Au during the first quarter, in line with guidance. Grades are expected to remain at similar levels in the second quarter and increase in the second half of the year to average close to the mid-point of guidance for the full year.
Processing rates within the Island Gold mill averaged 1,257 tpd for the first quarter, with excess underground ore processed in the Magino mill. Mill recoveries averaged 97% for the first quarter, in line with expectations.
As outlined in the IGD Expansion Study, the Island Gold mill will continue operating until early 2028 and process approximately 1,265 tpd of higher grade underground ore. The remaining underground ore mined beyond the Island Gold mill capacity will be blended at increasing rates with open pit ore and processed within the Magino mill. Following the expected completion of the larger Magino mill expansion to 20,000 tpd in early 2028, the Island Gold mill will be shut down and all underground and open pit ore will be processed within the larger and more cost-effective Magino mill.
Magino Operational Review
Total mining rates averaged 49,903 tpd during the first quarter, including 11,923 tpd of ore, consistent with the prior year period. Grades mined of 0.81 g/t Au for the first quarter were 5% higher than the prior year period and slightly above annual guidance.
Milling rates averaged 7,511 tpd in the first quarter, 4% higher than the prior year period and slightly below first quarter guidance of 7,800 tpd. During the first quarter, a temporary crusher was added to provide supplemental ore feed after the existing secondary crusher arrangement. Following the completion of this new installation in the second half of February, milling rates increased substantially, averaging 9,200 tpd over the past six weeks. Milling rates are expected to remain at similar levels during the second quarter reflecting scheduled liner changes in the ball and SAG mills, as well as conveyor belt replacements. Milling rates are expected to increase to steady state levels of approximately 10,000 tpd by the third quarter, consistent with guidance.
As outlined in the IGD Expansion Study, further improvements are planned for the existing crushing and conveying circuit as part of a larger expansion to 20,000 tpd. These include the addition of a gyratory crusher, ore bins, and a new truck dump configuration allowing for the direct tipping of ore. In addition to the connection to grid power, these changes will significantly improve the performance of the existing crushing circuit by reducing ore rehandling and ensuring more consistent and higher ore flow to the mill.
Grades processed averaged 1.18 g/t Au during the first quarter, and included approximately 10,000 tonnes of higher grade underground ore. Recoveries for the first quarter were 94%.

Operational review
Mining rates averaged 7,205 tpd in the first quarter, below first quarter guidance of 7,600 tpd reflecting a longer than expected timeline to complete rehabilitation work on one of three existing ore passes, as well as delays in commissioning a newly constructed ore pass resulting in more rehandling of ore. Both passes are now fully operational, bringing the total number of active ore passes to four. This is expected to increase operational flexibility and support increased mining rates of approximately 8,000 tpd in the second quarter and through the remainder of the year.
Grades mined of 1.73 g/t Au for the first quarter were below the low end of annual guidance of 1.90 g/t Au reflecting higher than planned mining dilution. This was primarily driven by stope overbreak within a small number of stopes. As part of ongoing standard operating practices, the Company continues to review its drilling and blasting design with a focus on minimizing dilution. Mined grades are expected to increase to within guided levels through the remainder of the year.
Milling rates averaged 6,786 tpd in the first quarter, below guidance reflecting longer than planned downtime for scheduled maintenance and an unscheduled repair to a transformer in the mill. Milling rates are expected to increase to average 8,000 tpd through the rest of the year. Excess underground ore mined but not processed in the first quarter will be processed through the remainder of the year. Milled grades averaged 1.75 g/t Au for the first quarter, consistent with mined grades. Mill recoveries averaged 89% for the first quarter, slightly lower than the prior year period and annual guidance reflecting lower grades processed.

First Quarter 2026 Exploration Activities
A total of
In 2025, drilling programs at Island Gold and Magino focused on delineation drilling to convert a large Inferred Mineral Resource Base to Mineral Reserves. This program was executed successfully and resulted in a significant increase in Mineral Reserves at both Island Gold and Magino, which was incorporated into the Island Gold District Expansion study that was announced on
A total of 50,000 m of underground exploration drilling is planned in 2026 with a focus on defining new Mineral Reserves and Resources in proximity to existing production horizons and infrastructure. This includes drilling across the strike extent of main Island Gold deposit (E1E and C-Zones), as well as within a growing number of newly defined hanging-wall and footwall zones.
These potential high-grade Mineral Reserve and Resource additions would be low cost to develop, given their proximity to existing infrastructure, and provide increased operational flexibility as mining rates increase. To support the underground exploration program, 1,090 m of underground exploration drift development is planned to extend drill platforms on the multiple levels.
Additionally, 48,000 m of surface exploration drilling has been budgeted targeting the area between the Island Gold and Magino deposits, as well as the down-plunge extension of the Island Gold deposit, below a depth of 1,500 m.

Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures
The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended
- adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share;
- cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and taxes paid;
- Company-wide free cash flow;
- total mine-site free cash flow;
- mine-site free cash flow;
- total cash costs per ounce of gold sold;
- AISC per ounce of gold sold;
- Mine-site AISC per ounce of gold sold;
- sustaining and non-sustaining capital expenditures; and
- adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA")
The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is 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. Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable.
Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS which exclude the following from net earnings:
- Foreign exchange gains or losses
- Items included in other loss
- Impairment expense/reversal of impairment
- Net gain or loss on commodity derivatives
- Certain non-recurring items
- Foreign exchange gain or loss recorded in deferred tax expense
- The income and mining tax impact of items included in other loss
The Company uses adjusted net earnings for its own internal purposes. Management’s internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the items which have been excluded from the determination of adjusted net earnings. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables shareholders to better understand the underlying operating performance of the core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies.
Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure.

Company-wide Free Cash Flow
“Company-wide free cash flow" is a non-GAAP performance measure calculated from cash flow from operating activities, less mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures and non-recurring costs. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash company-wide. Company-wide free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Company-wide free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Total Cash Costs per ounce
Total cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP term typically used by gold mining companies to evaluate the costs of producing gold and to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operating activities. Total cash costs per ounce includes mining and processing costs plus applicable royalties, and net of costs allocated to by-product and net realizable value adjustments. Total cash costs per ounce is exclusive of exploration costs. As well, the Company excludes mark-to-market adjustments for the revaluation of previously issued share-based compensation, therefore, total cash costs will incorporate the cost of long term incentives associated with the grant date fair value for instruments issued.
Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.
All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce and Mine-site All-in Sustaining Costs
The Company adopted an “all-in sustaining costs per ounce” non-GAAP performance measure in accordance with the
For the purposes of calculating "mine-site all-in sustaining costs" at the individual mine-sites, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative costs and share-based compensation, as detailed in the reconciliations below.
Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature. Non-sustaining capital expenditures or growth capital are expenditures primarily incurred at development projects and costs related to major projects at existing operations, where these projects will materially benefit the mine site. Capitalized exploration expenditures are expenditures that meet the IFRS definition for capitalization and are incurred to further expand the known Mineral Reserves and Resources at existing operations or development projects. For each mine-site reconciliation, corporate and administrative costs, and non-site specific costs are not included in the all-in sustaining cost per ounce calculation.
All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS.

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and removes the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. The measure also removes the impact of non-cash items such as impairment loss charges or reversals, and net gain or loss on derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator of the Company’s ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
