During the quarter, the Company continued to advance exploration and development activities across its expanded Nordic portfolio in Sweden and Finland while maintaining a strong treasury position. Q2 2026 Highlights: Cash balance decreased to approximately C$56.4 million as at June 30, 2026 (March 31, 2026: C$86.1 million) following the cash payment of C$28.5 million for the acquisition of the Barsele Gold project ("Barsele"), providing the Company with a strong financial position to advance exploration and development activities across its Nordic portfolio. Total assets increased to approximately C$430.4 million as at June 30, 2026 (March 31, 2026: C$180.0 million) following the acquisition of Barsele. Exploration and evaluation assets also increased to C$371.6 million following the addition of Barsele, Rajapalot gold-cobalt project and other Finnish assets acquired through the Mawson transaction. During the quarter, the Company incurred approximately C$2.3 million in exploration expenditure across its Nordic project portfolio. The Company reported a net loss of C$5.5 million for Q2 2026, primarily attributable to exploration expenditure and management fees incurred during the quarter. Operational Highlights: At the Rajapalot gold-cobalt project in northern Finland, the winter exploration program (10,429 meters) was fully completed, with core logging achieving 100% completion on schedule. The majority of assay results have now been received, with all gold assays returned and multi- element results pending for the final two holes. The updated resource model has been delivered to SLR, an independent consulting firm engaged to complete a resource update that will support an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the project. Biodiversity and nature surveys, hydrogeological tests, and four community engagement meetings were successfully completed to ensure responsible local project development. The extension permit application and Nature assessment update for the core area (Kairamaat 2-3) was filed with the Mining Authority. Following the completion of the Barsele Gold Project acquisition in June 2026, the Company advanced integration and project planning across the Barsele Project, including preparatory work for the metallurgical test program on the Central and Avan zones that commenced in August 2026.
