Very Strong Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Closed Q1 with $431M cash and, including an undrawn revolving credit facility, total liquidity in excess of CAD 770M.

Operational Improvements at Eagle River
Eagle River delivered 28,000 oz in Q1 (~25% of full-year midpoint). Mill throughput averaged ~800 tpd in Q1 versus ~600 tpd in 2024 (+33%) and ~700 tpd in 2025 (+14%). Stope productivity increased >20% quarter-over-quarter, proactive maintenance schedule compliance ~80%, and site trajectory toward 1,000 tpd is clear.
Kiena Stabilization and Near-Term Upside
Kiena produced 17,500 oz in Q1 (lightest quarter expected), secured Presqu'ile operating permit and began processing development ore; ramp connection to Kiena Deep is imminent (providing second access); 3 active mining horizons in Kiena Deep (up from 1) and April production exceeded 7,000 oz, with full Presqu'ile production expected by year-end.
Aggressive, Data-Driven Exploration Program
2026 program drilling >270,000 meters (up from ~200,000m in 2025). Key results: 6 Central at Eagle River extended by 100m (700m total since discovery); 711 Zone confirmed continuity with multiple intercepts >10 g/t; six new lenses discovered at Kiena and three new lenses at B Zone (now modeled as four lenses). Planning 80–90k m of conversion drilling.
Safety and Operational Discipline
Zero lost time incidents in Q1 and total recordable incident frequency rate improved 13% year-over-year. Operating delays at Kiena are down ~70% versus prior year after rolling out the operating model.
