Operational and Financial Performance
Contained tin production of 5,026 tonnes for the quarter ended March 2026 was in line with the target guidance of 20,000 tonnes per annum and that of the previous period. Tin sales of 5,016 tonnes were achieved compared to 5,045 in Q4 2025, with improved road conditions and a strong tin price resulting in a net cash increase of US$128m.
EBITDA for Q1 2026 is estimated at a record US$158m (Q4 2025: US$108m). The EBITDA variance compared to the prior quarter is attributable to a 30% increase in the tin price, from a US$37,995 av erage in Q4 2025, to US$49,278 average in Q1, 2026 (current price circa US$48,000). Guidance for AISC per tonne of tin sold in Q1 2026 is US$17,968, up 7% from the previous quarter of US$16,815 largely due to increased royalties, export duties, marketing commissions and net smelter returns, which are calculated with reference to the higher tin price. Increased fuel prices did not affect Q1 2026 but are expected in Q2, with additional fuel being sourced at premiums in the range of 25% to 35% since early March. The Company has approximately 30 days of diesel at site with a further 75 days consumption in the DRC in transit to site. Direct diesel consumption contributed just over $2,000 per tonne of AISC before price increases.
Alphamin’s unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the quarter ended 31 March 2026 are expected to be released on or about April 29, 2026.

Forward-Looking Initiatives
Liquidity and dividend update
The Company’s cash position increased to US$183m as at 31 March 2026 (Net Cash3: US$140m) from US$56m at the end of the prior quarter (31 December 2025 Net Cash: US$12m).
The Company intends to make a final FY2025 dividend decision in late April 2026 to align with the timing of holding the annual general meeting of Alphamin Bisie Mining SA (ABM), the Company’s DRC operating subsidiary, to approve ABM’s annual financial statements and to consider the declaration of a dividend for distribution to its shareholders. The ABM annual general meeting has been scheduled for 23 April 2026. Alphamin Resources has scheduled a board meeting for 29 April 2026 to consider a final FY2025 dividend.
Amendments to Omnibus Plan and Correction to Awards
Alphamin has amended its Omnibus Incentive Plan to make certain clarifying changes to meet the requirements of the TSX Venture Exchange. The changes relate to clarifying that awards granted to a participant prior to becoming an insider are included in the insider limits contained in the Plan and to clarify that, with respect to SAR Equivalent Shares awarded under the Plan, dividends are not permitted on such shares other than in settlement of such awards and not earlier than one year from the date of award, and that the SARES count towards Plan limits until settled. The amendments are contained in an Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan dated March 10, 2026 which has been filed and is available for viewing and download under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
On March 11, 2026 the Company announced the award of certain stock options and SARES under the Plan. That press release incorrectly identified the date of the awards as March 11, 2026 instead of the correct date of March 10, 2026, and incorrectly identif ied the reference price for the SARES awarded as C$1.26 instead of the correct reference price of C$1.27.
