Key highlights include the completion of 5,060 metres of the planned 5,000 metre drill program (total of 13 holes) resulting in the identification of potential exploration targets.

ANDACOLLO GOLD PROJECT, CHILE

Exploration and Development:

Key highlights of the technical report containing an updated MRE include:
- Current pit-constrained MRE update comprises an Indicated Mineral Resource of 102.4 million tonnes (“Mt“) at 0.45 grams/tonne (“g/t“) gold (“Au“) containing 1.47 million ounces (“Moz“) Au and an Inferred Mineral Resource of 347.9 Mt at 0.41 g/t Au containing 4.54 Moz Au;
- Additional and significant gold mineralization identified by DRA Americas Inc. is contained within the Andacollo Gold Project property boundary and could be accessed with a potential land access agreement from the adjacent property controlled by Teck Resources Limited (“Teck“);
- Andacollo Gold Project is a brownfield, past-producing open pit heap leach gold operation with approximately 1.12 Moz of historical gold production;
- Existing site infrastructure and local environmental approvals provide a strong platform for future engineering, permitting, and restart-readiness studies; and
- Open-pit optimization sensitivity analysis indicates large, optimized pit shells with relatively low stripping ratios across a range of gold price assumptions. This sensitivity analysis is not additive to the current MRE and does not represent an economic analysis or production scenario.

Since the completion of the acquisition of the Andacollo Gold Project, Galantas has assembled an experienced technical, engineering and operations team to lead execution of the restart program. Ongoing activities include:
- Detailed engineering for crushing plant relocation and installation, following the purchase of a three-stage, 20,000 tpd crushing plant and associated agglomeration plant equipment;
- Site preparation and infrastructure upgrades;
- Procurement and contracting for key project work packages;
- Operational readiness planning;
- Mine planning and development activities;
- Recruitment and expansion of the Chilean operating team; and
- Advancement of environmental, permitting and regulatory activities.

Company has engaged M3, STRACON and NCL as key contractors to complete a PEA by Q4 2026 and advance toward a potential restart, currently targeted for the first half of 2027.
Company is designing a drill program with the following objectives: infill and confirmatory drilling in support of the mine plan, testing of high-grade structures to enhance overall grade of the MRE, and evaluating the extent of copper mineralization possibly related to the adjacent Teck’s Carmen del Andacollo porphyry copper deposit.

Cautionary Note: The Company has not made a production decision in respect of the Andacollo Gold Project. Any decision to restart production will be subject to, among other things, completion of further technical, operational and financial review, completion of installation, rehabilitation and commissioning activities, receipt of any remaining approvals required at the relevant time, and formal approval by the Company’s board of directors.

INDIANA PROJECT, CHILE

Exploration and Development:

Galantas is currently in the process of preparing plans to develop the Indiana Project and bring it into production by the end of 2026.
On March 18, 2026, Galantas announced the start of a 5,000-metre diamond drilling program at its Indiana Project with a focus to tighten up the drill spacing and provide geotechnical information as the final steps for the development of the mine plan; and test for high-grade gold mineralization at structural intersections and down-dip extensions of the Bondadosa and Flor de Espino gold veins that could potentially expand the resource base while supporting mine planning and development.
On August 10, 2026, the Company announced an update on the ongoing exploration program including the completion of 13 holes totalling 5,060 metres of drilling, resulting in the identification of potential exploration targets.
