Justin Reid, CEO of Troilus, commented, “The results presented in our updated technical report reinforce Troilus’ position as one of the most compelling large-scale gold-copper development projects in North America. The combination of a US$3.2 billion after-tax NPV, 22% IRR, 3.6-year payback and approximately 26-year mine life demonstrates the scale, longevity and economic strength of the Project, particularly relative to an initial capital requirement of approximately US$1.43 billion. Just as importantly, these results are now supported by a substantially greater level of engineering and cost definition than at the 2024 Feasibility Study stage. Basic Engineering has been completed across the full Project scope, procurement has advanced materially, and the vast majority of pricing inputs have been validated against current market quotations. This gives us significantly greater confidence in the Project design, cost basis and execution strategy as we advance through Detailed Engineering. The Project itself has also improved, with a longer mine life, a lower strip ratio and approximately 21% higher life-of-mine payable copper production compared with the 2024 Feasibility Study. With engineering, procurement, permitting and project financing advancing in parallel, Troilus is moving decisively from study and design toward execution and a future construction decision.”

Technical Report Overview

The Technical Report was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 for Troilus with contributions from BBA Inc. AGP Mining Consultants Inc. and WSP Canada Inc. and incorporates the results of the Company’s completed Basic Engineering program.

The Technical Report outlines a large-scale, conventional open-pit operation processing 50,000 tonnes per day from the 87, J, X22 and SW deposits. The mine plan is underpinned by 478 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves grading 0.44 g/t Au, 0.05% Cu and 0.92 g/t Ag. The 26-year mine life includes approximately one year of pre-production processing, followed by 21 years of active mine production and a subsequent period of stockpile rehandle and processing.

Life-of-mine payable production totals approximately 5.63 million ounces of gold, 472 million pounds of copper and 10.88 million ounces of silver. During the 21-year active mining period, annual payable production averages approximately 251,000 ounces of gold, 20.1 million pounds of copper and 466,000 ounces of silver. At base case metal prices of US$3,600/oz gold, US$5.00/lb copper and US$50.00/oz silver, the Project generates an after-tax NPV(5%) of approximately US$3.2 billion, IRR of 22%, cumulative after-tax cash flow of approximately US$6.9 billion and a 3.6-year payback period.

Processing is based on a conventional flowsheet incorporating crushing, HPGRs, ball milling, gravity concentration and flotation, producing a gold-rich copper concentrate and gold-silver doré.

Key Project Optimizations and Advancements

The Technical Report incorporates the results of Basic Engineering, expanded metallurgical testwork, current vendor pricing and more advanced execution planning, resulting in a substantially more developed Project design than the 2024 Feasibility Study. Key advancements include:

Additional Front-End Processing Capacity and Flexibility: The updated flowsheet incorporates two parallel 35,000 tpd HPGR units within the 50,000 tpd nameplate processing plant. This will provide additional front-end processing capacity, along with additional plant availability with two lines, and operating flexibility to support throughput capacity across variable ore characteristics throughout the ramp-up period and into commercial production.

Higher-Confidence Comminution and Process Design: Additional metallurgical testwork has identified higher ore hardness in the SW Zone which will be mined in early years of operation, and this harder ore has been used as the benchmark to inform processing equipment sizing and the updated grinding design basis. The resulting configuration is designed to support reliable throughput and reduce ramp-up and operating risk.

Gold Doré Production from Initial Start-up: The gold room has been advanced into initial construction rather than deferred as was the case previously. This will enable gravity-recovered gold to be poured as doré from the outset of operations, supporting earlier cash generation and working capital during ramp-up.

Refined Infrastructure and Execution Planning: Basic Engineering materially advanced site-wide electrical, water, tailings and civil design, while integrating engineering and procurement with construction sequencing, long-lead equipment planning and commissioning readiness. This provides a more developed basis for Project execution as Troilus advances through Detailed Engineering.

Capital Costs

Updated Capital Estimate Reflects Advanced Engineering and Project Optimization

Initial capital is estimated at US$1.428 billion, reflecting substantially greater project definition achieved through Basic Engineering, updated market pricing and design enhancements incorporated as the Project has advanced from feasibility-level engineering toward execution.

Since completion of the 2024 Feasibility Study, approximately 95,000 engineering hours have materially advanced design definition across the full Project scope. The largest areas of refinement relate to EPCM requirements, construction labour, concrete and structural steel quantities, owner’s costs and other indirect costs, all of which are now defined at a significantly greater level of detail than at the 2024 Feasibility Study stage. Approximately 90% of pricing inputs have been validated against current market quotations, including firm pricing for key equipment, and the resulting capital estimate meets AACE Class 3 accuracy standards (+15%/-10%) across the full Project scope.

The updated estimate also incorporates current mechanical, electrical and civil pricing, together with design changes intended to improve Project robustness and operating flexibility. These include two 35,000 tpd HPGR units, providing additional front-end processing capacity while maintaining the Project’s 50,000 tpd nameplate throughput; advancement of the gold room into initial construction, enabling doré production from the outset of operations and supporting early working capital; and updated electrical, civil and water-management infrastructure.

Together, these changes reflect both a substantially higher level of cost certainty and a more fully engineered Project than was contemplated at the 2024 Feasibility Study stage.

**The initial capital cost estimate of US$1.428 billion includes capitalized operating costs and capitalized revenues and excludes sunk costs planned to be incurred through Q1 2027.

Operating Costs

Operating costs have been developed at a substantially greater level of definition through Basic Engineering, using a combination of first principal estimates, project-specific design criteria, metallurgical testwork, current supplier quotations and Québec labour benchmarks. Mine operating costs are based on detailed equipment, productivity, fuel and labour assumptions, while process operating costs incorporate equipment-specific power requirements, testwork-based reagent consumption, supplier pricing and maintenance requirements.

This more detailed and market-informed approach provides a higher-confidence operating cost basis as the Project advances through Detailed Engineering. Average life-of-mine operating costs are estimated at US$19.21 per tonne of mill feed, as summarized in Table 3 below.

Project Economics and Sensitivity

The Technical Report demonstrates strong cash flow generation and robust economic returns across a range of metal price assumptions. At long-term base case metal price assumptions of US$3,600/oz gold, US$5.00/lb copper and US$50.00/oz silver, the Project generates an after-tax NPV(5%) of US$3.206 billion, an after-tax IRR of 22% and a 3.6-year payback period, together with cumulative life-of-mine cash flow of approximately US$11.1 billion pre-tax and US$6.93 billion after-tax (see Figure 1).

The Project remains highly leveraged to metal prices, with after-tax NPV(5%) increasing to US$3.866 billion at US$4,000/oz gold, US$4.668 billion at US$4,500/oz and US$5.484 billion at US$5,000/oz, based on the corresponding sensitivity assumptions (see Table 5).

Mineral Resource & Reserves Summary

Mineral Reserve Estimate

The updated Mineral Reserve estimate totals 478 million tonnes of Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves grading 0.44 g/t gold, 0.05% copper and 0.92 g/t silver, containing approximately 6.7 million ounces of gold, 568 million pounds of copper and 14.2 million ounces of silver. This compares with 380 million tonnes in the 2024 Feasibility Study, representing a 26% increase in Reserve tonnage. The updated mine plan also benefits from a lower life-of-mine strip ratio of 2.4:1, compared with 3.1:1 in the 2024 Feasibility Study.

The Mineral Reserves are derived from Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources within the 87, J, X22 and SW open pits and have an effective date of December 31, 2025. Accordingly, drilling results announced during 2026 are not incorporated into the current Reserve estimate and represent potential future opportunities for resource and reserve growth and mine-plan optimization.

Table 6. Troilus Project, Mineral Reserve Estimate

Note:

• This mineral reserve estimate has an effective date of December 31, 2025, and is based on the mineral resource estimate dated December 31, 2025, for Troilus Mining by AGP Mining Consultants Inc. The mineral reserve estimate was completed under the supervision of Gordon Zurowski, P.Eng. of AGP, who is a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101. Mineral Reserves are stated within the final pit designs based on a US$2,100/oz gold price, US$28.00/oz silver price and US$4.00/lb copper price. An exchange rate of 1.37 C$ to 1 US$ has been used to convert between currencies. An NSR cut-off of C$11.84/t was used to define reserves. The mine production cost averaged C$4.62/t mined, processing costs were C$8.55/t ore, G&A was C$2.78/t and sustaining capital of C$ 0.51/t ore placed.
• The metallurgical recoveries varied according to metal head grade and concentrate grades. The average recoveries by metal are 85.7% for gold, 88.7% for copper and 87.5% for silver. Metallurgical recoveries were determined as follows:
• Gold Recovery: 188.21(Au)³-300.37(Au)²+174.63(Au)+51.502 (Gold head grades above 0.25 g/t were capped at a maximum recovery of 88%). Below 0.25 g/t gold head grade the recovery was determined using the gold tail grade (Au Recovery = (head grade – tail grade) / head grade * 100).
• Copper Recovery: -32688(Cu)⁴+17746(Cu)³-3692.7(Cu)²+366.41 (Copper head grades above 0.03% were capped at a maximum recovery of 93%). Below 0.03% copper head grade the recovery was determined using the copper tail grade (Cu Recovery = (head grade – tail grade) / head grade * 100).
• Silver Recovery: 188.21(Ag)³-300.37(Ag)²+174.63(Ag)+51.502 (Silver head grades above 0.25g/t were capped at a maximum recovery of 88%). Below 0.25g/t silver head grade the recovery was determined using the silver tail grade (Ag Recovery = (head grade – tail grade) / head grade * 100). At the time of the reserve estimate the silver recovery had not been finalized. The gold recovery formulae was applied to estimate the silver recovery for reserve estimation purposes.
• Equivalent grade calculations for 87 pit used recoveries of 86.4%, 88.7% and 87.6% for gold, copper, and silver, respectively. Equivalent grade calculations for J pit used recoveries of 85.5%, 88.8% and 87.4% for gold, copper, and silver, respectively. Equivalent grade calculations for X22 pit used recoveries of 85.6%, 88.5% and 87.6% for gold, copper, and silver, respectively. Equivalent grade calculations for SW pit used recoveries of 84.3%, 88.3% and 87.2% for gold, copper, and silver, respectively. The formulas used to calculate equivalent values are as follows: 87 pit AuEq = Au + 1.3409*Cu +0.0135 *Ag, J pit AuEq = Au + 1.3565*Cu +0.0136 *Ag, SW pit AuEq = Au + 1.3681*Cu +0.0138 *Ag, X22 pit AuEq = Au + 1.3504*Cu +0.0136 *Ag.

Mineral Resource Estimate

The updated open-pit Mineral Resource estimate encompasses the 87, J, X22 and SW zones and has an effective date of December 31, 2025. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources total 810.2 million tonnes grading 0.39 g/t gold, 0.05% copper and 0.82 g/t silver, containing approximately 10.2 million ounces of gold, 868.5 million pounds of copper and 21.3 million ounces of silver. Inferred Mineral Resources total an additional 182.5 million tonnes grading 0.34 g/t gold, 0.04% copper and 0.72 g/t silver, containing approximately 2.0 million ounces of gold, 177.8 million pounds of copper and 4.2 million ounces of silver. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.

Since completion of the 2024 Feasibility Study, Troilus has completed an additional 132 drill holes totalling 40,786 metres. This work included a site wide exploration program in 2024 that resulted in the discovery of the West Rim Zone, which is not included in the updated Mineral Resource estimate, as well as an approximately 11,000-metre infill drilling program in 2025 focused on improved definition of the SW Zone Phase 1 pit. As a result, the updated estimate includes 81.6 million tonnes in the Measured category at the SW Zone.

The updated Mineral Resource model also incorporates a number of refinements to better reflect the current geological interpretation and planned mining scale. Resource domains were remodelled using a lower 0.2 g/t AuEq threshold, compared with 0.3 g/t AuEq in the 2024 Feasibility Study, reflecting updated geological interpretation and metal price assumptions. The block size was increased to 5 m x 10 m x 10 m, from 5 m x 5 m x 5 m previously, to better align with the proposed mining equipment and production scale. Mineral Resources are now reported using an NSR cut-off of C$11.33/t, rather than the 0.3 g/t AuEq cut-off used in the 2024 Feasibility Study.

Notes:

• Reported Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves.
• Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
• Summation errors may occur due to rounding.
• Open pit mineral resources are reported within constraining economic pit shells.
• Open pit cut-off 11.33 C$/t NSR.
• Metal prices for the NSR formulas are: US$ 2,415/ oz Au; US$ 4.60/lb Cu, and US$ 32.00/ oz Ag.
• Exchange Rate used to convert from C$ to US$ is 1.37.
• Metal recoveries for the AuEQ formulas are:
  • 87 Zone       85.9% for Au recovery, 87.9% for Cu recovery and 87.6% for Ag recovery
  • J Zone         84.5% for Au recovery, 88.1% for Cu recovery and 86.9% for Ag recovery
  • X22 Zone     85.6% for Au recovery, 86.3% for Cu recovery and 87.0% for Ag recovery
  • SW Zone      82.1% for Au recovery, 87.1% for Cu recovery and 87.1% for Ag recovery
• AuEq equivalents were calculated as follows:
  • 87 Zone      AuEq = Au grade + 1.3365 * Cu grade + 0.0136 * Ag grade
  • J Zone        AuEq = Au grade + 1.3618 * Cu grade + 0.0137 * Ag grade
  • SW Zone    AuEq = Au grade + 1.3856 * Cu grade + 0.0141 * Ag grade
  • X22 Zone    AuEq = Au grade + 1.3168 * Cu grade + 0.0136 * Ag grade
• Capping of grades varied between 0.70 g/t Au and 23.00 g/t Au; between 0.03 %Cu and 0.70 %Cu, and between 0.80 g/t Ag and 29.50 g/t Ag; determined on 5 m composite values.
• The density (excluding overburden and fill) varies between 2.64 g/cm3 and 2.93 g/cm3, depending on lithology.

The Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources presented, were prepared in accordance with the CIM Standards and Definitions for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2014). The Qualified Persons who prepared the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are not aware of any known environmental, permitting, legal, title-related, taxation, socio-political, financial, or other relevant issues that could materially affect the mineral resources.

Mining and Processing Summary

The Project is designed as a conventional open-pit operation based on the 87, J, X22 and SW deposits, with the mine plan delivering approximately 478 million tonnes of mill feed grading 0.44 g/t Au, 0.05% Cu and 0.92 g/t Ag. The life-of-mine strip ratio is 2.4:1, with peak mining rates of approximately 90 million tonnes per year during the main production years. Approximately 7 million tonnes of ore are expected to be stockpiled during the pre-production period to support commissioning and ramp-up of the processing plant.

The processing plant is designed for a 50,000 tpd nameplate throughput using a conventional flowsheet comprising two-stage crushing, two parallel HPGRs, ball milling, gravity concentration and flotation. The Technical Report assumes throughput may increase to as much as 52,000 tpd from Year 3 onward as operating availability improves and the operation matures. Metallurgical testwork supports average recoveries during pre-production and active mining of approximately 86.7% for gold, 89.6% for copper and 87.5% for silver, with approximately one-third of recovered gold reporting through gravity concentration. The circuit will produce a gold-rich copper concentrate for shipment to smelters and gold-silver doré for refining. Tailings will be thickened and deposited in the Project’s tailings storage facilities.

The Project benefits from a cyanide-free process flowsheet and non-acid-generating waste rock, supporting a simplified environmental management approach.

Life-of-mine payable production totals approximately 5.63 million ounces of gold, 472 million pounds of copper and 10.88 million ounces of silver, with the annual production profile shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2. Troilus Production Profile for Gold, Copper and Silver

Site Infrastructure Summary

The Troilus Project benefits from substantial existing infrastructure associated with the former mining operation, including year-round road access, a 137 km Hydro-Québec transmission line, accommodation and administration facilities, maintenance infrastructure and existing water-management facilities, a number of which will be repurposed as part of the future operation. The Project development plan supplements these existing assets with new processing, mining and site infrastructure required for the planned 50,000 tpd operation.

In June 2026, Troilus secured a 70 MW hydroelectric power allocation from Hydro-Québec and Québec’s Ministry of Economy, Innovation and Energy, securing a major component of the Project’s anticipated power supply and providing long-term access to competitively priced renewable power. The Technical Report assumes an electricity price of approximately US$0.04/kWh in its operating cost estimates.

A site-wide water management plan and water balance model were advanced through Basic Engineering to support efficient mine operations and long-term environmental performance. The Project also benefits from the ability to reuse and expand the existing tailings storage facility, limiting additional surface disturbance. The TSF is expected to accommodate approximately the first 12 years of mine production, after which tailings are planned to be progressively deposited in the mined-out SW, 87 and J pits. Waste rock will also be incorporated along the TSF containment dyke to enhance stability and safety while limiting additional surface disturbance. The combined TSF and in-pit storage capacity is expected to be sufficient for the life-of-mine Reserve.

Project Location and Access

The Troilus Project is located in central Québec, Canada, approximately 170 km north of Chibougamau, and is accessible year-round by road via Highway 167, the Route du Nord and the Troilus Mine Road. The drive from Chibougamau to site is approximately two hours.

The Project benefits from its proximity to established regional communities and mining services. Mistissini, a Cree community, is located approximately 90 km southeast of the site, while Chibougamau is a well-established mining town that provides access to supplies, fuel, services and an experienced mining workforce. The Project is also connected to Québec’s hydroelectric grid through an existing 137 km, 161 kV transmission line.

Troilus is a past-producing mine site, having produced more than 2 million ounces of gold and approximately 70,000 tonnes of copper between 1996 and 2010, before operations ceased. This operating history, together with existing infrastructure and established regional access, provides a meaningful brownfield advantage as the Project advances toward redevelopment.

Exploration Potential

Beyond the 87, J, X22 and SW deposits that underpin the current mine plan, Troilus controls approximately 435 km² containing numerous near-mine and regional exploration targets, including Allongé, Cressida, Testard, Freegold-Bullseye, Pallador, West Rim and Bear Lake. Recent drilling continues to demonstrate opportunities for resource growth and new discoveries across the broader property, providing multiple avenues to further unlock the potential of this highly prospective district.

Project Execution and Next Steps

With Basic Engineering complete, Troilus continued to advance through Detailed Engineering and execution planning, supporting the Project’s transition toward development. The Project is being advanced under an integrated EPCM delivery model, with BBA leading engineering and procurement, EBC Inc. providing construction management services, and Troilus maintaining overall ownership and oversight of Project execution.

Detailed Engineering, procurement and construction planning are progressing in parallel to support an efficient path toward construction. More than 60 procurement packages have been issued or are under evaluation, with long-lead equipment procurement already underway. The recent selection of Metso Corporation for the first phase of major process equipment has enabled early supplier integration into Detailed Engineering, advancing equipment interfaces, plant layout, 3D modelling and construction sequencing.

The execution strategy contemplates multiple concurrent construction work fronts, with engineering and procurement integrated directly into the construction schedule. Commissioning and operational-readiness planning are also being advanced alongside engineering to support an efficient transition from construction into operations.

In parallel, Troilus continues to advance the Project through the federal and provincial permitting processes and project financing, while progressing site-readiness activities and the remaining engineering and procurement required to support a construction decision. Subject to required approvals and financing, construction is anticipated to begin in 2027, with first ore targeted for September 2029 and commercial production in March 2030.

The Company’s near-term focus is therefore firmly on execution: advancing Detailed Engineering, securing critical equipment, progressing permitting and financing, and preparing the Project for construction.
