The Ying Mining District plans to process 1,237,000 to 1,302,000 tonnes of ore, including nominal development ore from Kuanping, to produce 6.4 to 6.6 million ounces of silver, 9,500 to 10,000 ounces of gold, 56.4 to 59.2 million pounds of lead, and 6.8 to 7.1 million pounds of zinc for Fiscal 2027. This production guidance represents production increases of 4% to 10% in ore, 0.1% to 4% in silver, 9% to 15% in gold, 2% to 7% in lead and 3% to 8% in zinc, compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash costⁱⁱ at the Ying Mining District is expected to be $88.2 to $90.4 per tonne of ore, compared to the cash cost of $80.2 for the first nine months of Fiscal 2026 ended December 31, 2025. The all-in sustaining cost (AISC)ⁱⁱ is estimated at $155.4 to $161.2 per tonne, higher than the AISC of $134.1 recorded in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026. The higher cash cost and AISC are due to anticipated increases in contractor unit costs and more development tunnels and facilities planned for higher ore production in Fiscal 2027 and beyond. More details on the near and longer term mine plan will be contained in an updated NI 43-101 technical report expected to be released in the coming weeks.

The GC Mine plans to process 290,000 to 305,000 tonnes of ore to produce 0.46 to 0.49 million ounces of silver, 6.3 to 6.6 million pounds of lead, and 15.5 to 16.3 million pounds of zinc. Fiscal 2027 production guidance at the GC Mine represents production increases of 1% to 6% in ore and 0.4% to 7% in silver, 20% to 26% in lead and 2% to 8% in zinc compared to the Fiscal 2026 results.

The cash cost at the GC Mine is expected to be $63.1 to $64.6 per tonne of ore, compared to $57.8 recorded in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026. The AISC is estimated at $90.4 to $93.3 per tonne of ore processed, compared to $82.9 recorded in the first nine months of Fiscal 2026 as more exploration tunneling has been planned in Fiscal 2027.

The consolidated cash cost in Fiscal 2027 is expected to be $83.3 to $85.4 per tonne, while the consolidated AISC is expected to be $155.3 to $161.2 per tonne.

Package #1 earthworks and related activities have been conducted by CRCC 14 since January 2025, with the capital costs estimated based on the unit prices as indicated in the contract multiplied by the design quantities of each activity.

Package #2 – Open Pit Mining and Stripping

The mining contract for the construction and operation of Package #2 was awarded to China Railway 19th Bureau Group Co., Ltd. ("CRCC19") with the cost estimated based on the optimized mine plan and contracted unit rates of drilling, blasting, and hauling etc received from CRCC19. The Company expects to commence stripping of the open pit in April 2026 and a total of 4.1 million cubic metres of sediments and waste rocks will be stripped.

Package #3 - Processing Plant Construction and Equipment

The detailed process flowsheet and equipment selection for the processing plant construction and equipment have been finalized by Yantai Jinpeng Mining Machinery Co., Ltd, with the cost estimated based on the engineering design, actual contract and purchase prices for major equipment from international vendors, market prices for minor equipment in China plus shipping cost, current construction cost in Ecuador.

Power line construction and Stand-by Diesel Power Generators

The construction of the power line is expected to be initiated in June 2026 and should take approximately 12 months to be completed. The 14MW diesel generator sets will be delivered to site by December 2026 for installation and operation before the completion of the process plant. This mitigation plan will ensure that power is available for commissioning of the process plant in July 2027, regardless of the status of the external power line.

2. Condor Project

In Fiscal 2027, the Company plans first to obtain the environmental permit for small-scale mining, which will then allow the development of two 1,500 metre long underground tunnels totalling 3,000 metres that will provide access to the main ore bodies and to carry out underground drilling to upgrade mineral resource categories into measured and indicated. Based on these results, a Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility Study Report can be completed for a 5,000 t/d underground mine, processing plant and related tailings storage facility per the PEA dated December 22, 2025. The company will also pool with two other property owners that have "small-scale mining permits" and the local community to build a 1,000 tonne per day mill, TSF starter dam, and associated infrastructure. The total capital expenditures at the Condor Project are estimated at $10.9 million in Fiscal 2027.

ⁱ Silver equivalent is calculated by converting the gold metal quantity to its silver equivalent using the ratio between the net realized selling prices of gold and silver achieved, and then adding the converted amount expressed in silver ounces to the ounces of silver.

ⁱⁱCash cost and all-in sustaining cost per tonne are non-GAAP measures. Cash cost per tonne is calculated based on the total cash cost on a sales basis, adjusted for changes in inventory, to arrive at total cash cost that is related to ore production during the period. The total cash cost is then further divided into mining cost, shipping cost, and milling cost. Cash cost per tonne is the total of per tonne mining cost, per tonne shipping cost, and per tonne milling cost. All-in sustaining cash cost per tonne is the extension of the cash cost per tonne.
