Successful Recapitalization and Strong Liquidity
Completed recapitalization with total funded and committed proceeds of over $1.0 billion since May 2025 (includes $250M NSR with Franco-Nevada, $150M funded on gold prepay, and $287.5M unsecured convertible notes). Ended the quarter with approximately $514M cash balance, used to retire ~ $167M of legacy debt and provide funding certainty for Phase 1 and Phase 2.
Record Quarterly Revenue and Gross Profit
Total revenue increased to just over $52M from $14M in the prior year period (~+271%), driven by more than double the gold ounces sold and higher realized gold price (nearly $5,000/oz). Gross profit rose to $16.1M, a new company record and over 4x higher than prior year (~300%+ increase).
Material Production and Sales Growth
Company-wide gold production increased to ~10.8k ounces (from 5.2k; +107.7%) and gold sales to ~10.6k ounces (from 5.0k; +112%), reflecting improved mining/results and the finalized toll processing agreement. Granite Creek sulfide production more than tripled to ~8.9k ounces.
Projects Advancing on Schedule and On Budget
Archimedes underground development is ahead of schedule (~660 meters advanced in Q1; >20 ft/day, first gold expected Q4 with ramp through 2027). Lone Tree plant refurbishment received board approval, remains on plan for first gold pour by 2027, and cost tracking the December 2025 estimate of $430M including a 12% contingency.
Significant Exploration and Resource Development Programs
Largest drill program in company history initiated: Mineral Point ~131k meters planned with 4 rigs on-site and 3 additional rigs imminent. Upper Archimedes completed >7.5k meters over 35 holes with high-grade intercepts and potential expansion of oxide opportunity.
Operational Issues Being Resolved (Granite Creek)
Water inflows at Granite Creek are 'largely behind us' with long-term solutions (second water treatment plant) on track for June; team implemented solutions and development rates have improved with recent decline and ramp rates exceeding plan.
Feasibility / Prefeasibility Study Milestones in Near-Term
Expecting feasibility studies for three underground projects and prefeasibility studies for two large open pit oxide projects over this year and next, supporting planned production growth to ~150k–200k oz/year by 2028 (from ~50k oz guidance for current year).
Strategic Monetization and Financing Arrangements
Franco-Nevada NSR ($250M; $225M received at closing) and a gold prepay facility provide non-dilutive and near-term financing; convertible notes were well oversubscribed, demonstrating investor demand for the recapitalization.
