Minera Alamos Inc. (TSX-V: MAI) (OTCQX: MAIFF) is pleased to announce updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates for its 100%-owned Pan gold mine in White Pine County, Nevada. A technical report with an effective date of September 1, 2025 containing the MRMR estimates, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, has been filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ and can also be found on the Company’s website at www.mineraalamos.com. The Technical Report is titled: “NI 43-101 Technical Report on Resources and Reserves at Pan Gold Mine, White Pine County, Nevada”. Completing the Pan mine Technical Report at this time was as a regulatory requirement of the Company’s October 1, 2025 acquisition of the Pan mine and Gold Rock project.
All dollar amounts in this news release are expressed in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted. Metric tonnes are referred to as “t”, imperial short tons as “st”, and grams as “g”.
HIGHLIGHTS
Darren Koningen, Minera Alamos’ CEO, commented, “Since starting production in 2017, the Pan mine has reliably replaced reserves year after year for almost a decade, and we look forward to continuing that legacy. We are pleased with the new Mineral Reserve estimate replacing the past three years of mining depletion and we view this as a solid basis to drive gold production growth for the Company. The opportunity to develop the nearby Gold Rock deposit offers the potential to significantly extend the mine life at the Pan Operating Complex. In addition, with current gold prices significantly higher than the $2,600/oz price used as the basis for this updated Mineral Reserve estimate, there remain plenty of opportunities to further optimize the Pan LOM plan.”
Updated Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates
All Mineral Resources reported herein are within an optimized pit shell using $2,600/oz gold price and defined using blocks classified as Measured, Indicated, or Inferred.
The Pan mine Mineral Resource estimate is reported in accordance with the CSA NI 43-101 rules for disclosure. The chosen reporting cut-off is 0.0029 oz/st Au (0.1 g/t Au). These numbers are reported inside the pit optimization and considered to have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction by open pit bulk mining methods.

Notes to Mineral Resource estimate:
Mineral Reserve estimation was performed using Hexagon’s MinePlan software and applies to the full Pan mine Mineral Resource estimate. Detailed pit slope design, access, haulage, and operational cost criteria were applied in this process for all mining areas. The orientation, proximity to the topographic surface, and geological controls of the Pan mine mineralization support mining of the ore reserves with open pit mining techniques. To calculate the mineable reserves, pits were designed following an optimized Lerchs- Grossmann pit based on a $2,600/oz gold price. The quantities of material within the designed pits were calculated using a base cut-off of 0.0029 oz/st Au (0.1 g/t Au).
The updated LOM plan which forms the basis of the updated Mineral Reserve estimate outlines mining and stacking onto the heap leach pad to continue for four years from 2026 to 2029, followed by residual leaching.

Notes to Mineral Reserve estimate:
1.Reserves stated in the table above are contained within an engineered pit design following the $2,600/oz Au sales price Lerchs- Grossmann pit. Date of topography is August 31, 2025;
2.Mineral Reserves are stated in terms of delivered tonnes and grade before process recovery;
3.Costs based on existing operational rates include a mining cost of $2.20–2.60/st and an ore processing cost of $3.20–3.60/st and G&A cost of $0.90–1.10/st;
4.Reserves are based upon a minimum 0.0029 oz/st Au cut-off grade, using a $2,600/oz Au sales price and an Au recovery of 68%;
5.Mineral Reserves stated above are contained within and are not additional to the Mineral Resource, the exception being leach pad inventory;
7.Numbers in the table have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate and may not sum due to rounding
Future Optimization Work
Completing the Pan mine Technical Report at this time was as a regulatory requirement of the Company’s October 1, 2025 acquisition of the Pan mine and Gold Rock project.
The 2026 MRMR estimates are considered as a baseline from which the Company can improve upon through various initiatives in the near-term and medium-term. This includes, but is not limited to:
About Minera Alamos
Minera Alamos is a growing North American gold production and development company with projects in Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. The Company owns the Pan Operating Complex in White Pine County, Nevada, comprised of the producing Pan heap leach gold mine and the adjacent permitted Gold Rock project, as well as the nearby past-producing Illipah project. The Company also owns the Copperstone mine and associated infrastructure in La Paz County, Arizona, a permitted, advanced development gold project. The Company maintains a portfolio of high-quality Mexican assets, including the Cerro de Oro open pit gold project in northern Zacatecas which has considerable past drilling and metallurgical work completed and is currently being guided through the permitting process by the Company and its permitting consultants. Other Mexican projects owned by the Company include the Santana open-pit, heap-leach gold mine in Sonora and the PEA-stage, permitted La Fortuna open pit gold project in Durango. The Company’s strategy is to become a leading, Americas-focused intermediate gold producer by growing production at its Pan Operating Complex and developing its pipeline of high-quality, low-capital projects while expanding gold resources across its portfolio.
