One of London's best pizza restaurants is moving to a new location
For the past few years Crisp Pizza has held serious sway over London's many pizza lovers. However, its slightly far flung nature – Crisp is currently based in The Chancellors pub in Hammersmith – means that securing a slice has been a bit of a mission for anyone not based in west London. That's all set to change this autumn, which is sad news for Hammersmith locals, but good news for everyone else. Crisp Pizza founder Carl McCluskey has explained that Crisp has 'outgrown' The Chancellors, which has been run by his family for decades, and will now be moving its centre of operations to Mayfair. As of October, Crisp Pizza will be operating out of The Marlborough on the corner of North Row and North Audley Street, just off Oxford Street. The Marlborough, which has been closed since 2020 and was originally known as The Marlborough Head, is being relaunched by McCluskey, alongside the team from the Devonshire in Soho; Charlie Carroll of Flat Iron, chef Ashley Palmer-Watts and publican Oisín Rogers. Like The Devonshire, The Marlborough will pride itself on its Guinness, as well as serving Crisp's renowned pizza from a bespoke pizzeria downstairs. Upstairs will be more of a traditionally-styled London boozer. .

Crisp Pizza moves to Mayfair with the help from the Devonshire
McCluskey says Carroll helped him land the Marlborough after a partnership with another operator went south — 'just as I was about to pull out of the deal, Charlie stepped in' — but the pair have known each other for about three years, since Crisp began to go viral and deals and offers were flooding in. 'After the American review [Dave Portnoy's Barstool Sports], it was like: 'do you want to come to the Middle East? D'you wanna come here and here and here?' And operators all over London, big operators were offering me crazy deals — terrible deals, when I look back at it now, but they were trying to catch me at a point when I was quite naive.' He likens Carroll to a big brother 'just telling me when to play it cool.'

Alamos Gold Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results
Stronger production and lower costs drive record cash flow from operations and solid free cash flow of $85 million while funding growth All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. TORONTO, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) ('Alamos' or the 'Company') today reported its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. 'Production increased 10% from the first quarter, meeting our quarterly guidance, while all-in sustaining costs decreased 18%, reflecting stronger performances across all of our operations. This contributed to record cash flow from operations and a substantial increase in free cash flow to $85 million while continuing to reinvest in growth. We expect further production growth into the second half of the year driven by a combination of higher grades and milling rates, and remain on track to achieve full year production guidance. Given external factors related to our higher share price and gold price, as well as the slower start to the year at Magino and Young-Davidson, we have increased our annual cost guidance. This is not reflective of our long-term outlook with costs expected to continue to improve into the second half of the year, and a more substantial decrease expected over the next several years,' said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer. 'A key contributor to this improvement will be the Island Gold District where we successfully completed the transition to processing Island Gold ore through the larger and more productive Magino mill mid-July. As outlined in the Base Case Life of Mine plan issued last month, the Island Gold District will be a driver of our growing production and declining costs over the next several years. We also believe there is further upside to come. Through a larger expansion of the district, we see excellent potential to grow our consolidated production to approximately one million ounces per year, underpinning one of the strongest growth profiles in the sector,' Mr. McCluskey added.

(2) Total consolidated all-in sustaining costs include corporate and administrative, and share based compensation expenses. Individual mine-site all-in sustaining costs do not include an allocation of corporate and administrative expense, and corporate share-based compensation expenses. (3) Cost of sales includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense, and sliver by-product credits, and is calculated based on the mid-point of total cash costs guidance. (4) Previous guidance was issued on January 13, 2025. Cost guidance was revised on July 30, 2025. Production and capital guidance remain unchanged. The Company's objective is to operate a sustainable business model that supports growing returns to all stakeholders over the long-term, through growing production, expanding margins, and increasing profitability. This includes a balanced approach to capital allocation focused on generating strong ongoing free cash flow while re-investing in high-return internal growth opportunities, and supporting higher returns to shareholders. During the second quarter, the Company continued to execute on this strategy across a number of fronts. Production increased 10% to 137,200 ounces, while AISC decreased 18% from the first quarter, reflecting stronger performances from all three operations. Through higher production, lower costs and the higher realized gold price, the Company generated record quarterly revenues, cash flow from operations, and a substantial increase in free cash flow to $84.6 million while continuing to reinvest in high-return growth. A further increase in production is expected in the third quarter to between 145,000 and 155,000 ounces, with total cash costs expected to decrease 5% and a slight decrease in AISC from the second quarter, reflecting the timing of sustaining capital. This is expected to be driven by higher milling rates at Young-Davidson, and the Island Gold District, and the recovery of higher-grade ore stacked in the latter part of the second quarter at La Yaqui Grande. Milling rates within the Magino mill continue to improve following the installation of the redesigned liner and bolt configuration within the SAG mill. Reflecting the improved milling rates, the Island Gold mill was shut down mid-July with higher-grade underground ore now being processed within the larger and more productive Magino mill. A more significant increase in production and decrease in costs is expected in the fourth quarter driven by higher underground mining rates at Island Gold, as well as higher grades at Young-Davidson and La Yaqui Grande. Given the strong growth expected into the second half of the year, the Company remains on track to achieve full year production guidance. Reflecting the higher than budgeted share-based compensation expense through the first half of the year, higher royalty expenses, and slower start to the year at Magino and Young-Davidson, the Company has increased its 2025 cost guidance. Full year total cash costs are now expected to be between $975 and $1,025 per ounce, and AISC between $1,400 and $1,450 per ounce. This represents a 12% increase in AISC guidance with approximately 40% of the increase attributable to external factors. This included the revaluation of previously issued share-based compensation given the significant increase in the share price during the first quarter, and higher royalty expenses reflecting the higher gold price. Consistent with the updated cost guidance, the Company expects a substantial decrease in costs into the second half of the year, driven by significant production growth. This strong trend of growing production and declining costs is expected to continue over the next several years driven by low-cost growth from the Company's pipeline of high-return development projects. The Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold is expected to be a significant driver of near term production growth and further decrease in costs in 2026. As outlined in the Base Case LOM Plan for the Island Gold District, the expansion is expected to transform the operation into one of the largest, lowest-cost, and most profitable gold mines in Canada with significant upside potential. The shaft sink has advanced to a depth of 1,265 m, 92% of its ultimate planned depth. The mill expansion, paste plant and powerline project are all advancing well with the overall expansion expected to be completed in the second half of 2026. Post completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion, production from the Island Gold District is expected to increase to average 411,000 ounces per year at mine-site AISC of $915 per ounce over the initial 12 years (refer to the press release dated June 23, 2025 for more details). This is expected to drive consolidated production to a range of 680,000 to 730,000 ounces in 2027, a 17% increase from the mid-point of 2025 guidance, at 18% lower AISC. A further increase in production and decrease in costs is expected with the startup of production from Lynn Lake. With average annual production of 176,000 ounces over its first 10 years at first quartile mine-site AISC, Lynn Lake is expected to increase consolidated production to approximately 900,000 ounces per year. Given ongoing wildfires that continue to impact communities across northern Manitoba, the ramp up of construction activities on the Lynn Lake project has been temporarily paused. Assuming the resumption of construction activities during the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects the completion of the Lynn Lake project in the second half of 2028. This represents an approximate six-month delay from the previous schedule given the loss of the majority of the summer construction season. Longer-term, there is excellent potential to increase consolidated production to approximately one million ounces per year through a further expansion of the Island Gold District. The Expansion Study for the Island Gold District remains on track to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025 and is expected to demonstrate the significant upside potential to the Base Case LOM Plan. The Expansion Study is expected to include a larger Mineral Reserve, through ongoing Mineral Resource conversion, and will evaluate a potential expansion of the mill to between 18,000 and 20,000 tpd, supporting higher underground mining rates from Island Gold, and open pit mining and processing rates from Magino. Capital spending in 2025 will be focused on the ramp up of construction activities at Lynn Lake and PDA, as well as the final full year of spending on the Phase 3+ Expansion. Capital spending is expected to increase modestly into 2026 with lower capital at the Island Gold District offset by the ramp up in spending on Lynn Lake and PDA. In 2027, capital spending is expected to decrease relative to 2026 driven by significantly lower capital at the Island Gold District, and the completion of construction of PDA. A further decrease in capital is expected after the completion of construction of Lynn Lake. The global exploration budget for 2025 is $72 million, a 16% increase from $62 million spent in 2024, and the largest in the Company's history reflecting broad based exploration success across its assets. The Company continues to demonstrate its long-term track record of value creation through exploration with 2024 year-end Global Mineral Reserves (as updated in June 2025) increasing 50% to 16.0 million ounces (312 mt grading 1.59 g/t Au) compared to the end of 2023. This reflected an initial Mineral Reserve at Burnt Timber and Linkwood, ongoing exploration success and Mineral Resource conversion at Island Gold, as well as the addition of Magino. Mineral Reserves have now increased for six consecutive years for a cumulative increase of 65% over that time frame. The Company remains well positioned to fund its high-return growth projects internally with strong ongoing free cash flow, $344.9 million of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the second quarter of 2025, and $844.9 million of total liquidity. At current gold prices, the Company expects to continue generating strong free cash flow while funding its growth projects, with significant increases following the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion in 2026, PDA in 2027, and Lynn Lake in 2028. Second Quarter 2025 Results Island Gold District Financial and Operational Review (1) Cost of sales includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization. (2) Refer to the 'Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures' section of this press release and associated MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures. (3) For the purposes of calculating mine-site all-in sustaining costs, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative expense and corporate share-based compensation expense. (4) Grams per tonne of gold. (5) Mine-site free cash flow does not include lease payments which are classified as cash flows used in financing activities on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. (6) Comparative prior year period figures do not include the Magino mine, as the acquisition of the Magino mine was completed on July 12, 2024. (7) Includes ore stockpiled during the periods. (8) Total waste mined includes operating waste and capitalized stripping. The Island Gold District produced 64,400 ounces in the second quarter of 2025, a 54% increase from the prior year period, driven by the inclusion of the Magino mine, which was acquired in July 2024, as well as an increase in tonnes processed from Island Gold underground. Production also increased 9% from the first quarter of 2025 driven by higher milling rates within both the Island Gold and Magino mills. Production is expected to increase through the remainder of the year reflecting higher mining and processing rates. Island Gold Operational Review Underground mining rates averaged 1,244 tpd in the second quarter, a 19% increase over the prior year period and consistent with guidance. Grades mined averaged 11.48 g/t Au, consistent with annual guidance and 19% lower than in the prior year period. Mill throughput averaged 1,305 tpd and mill recoveries averaged 98% during the second quarter, also consistent with annual guidance. With higher grade underground ore now being processed within the larger and more productive Magino mill as of mid-July, the Island Gold mill will be transitioned to care and maintenance in the third quarter and gold in circuit inventory will be drawn down. Magino Operational Review Total mining rates averaged 56,532 tpd during the second quarter, including 13,748 tpd of ore, up 13% and 16% respectively, from the first quarter. Mining rates of ore were slightly below annual guidance with the focus on waste stripping during the month of June. Mining rates are expected to increase in the second half of the year to be consistent with annual guidance of 14,800 tpd of ore. Milling rates continued to improve in the second quarter with throughput increasing 16% from the first quarter to average 8,411 tpd in the Magino mill. Grades processed during the second quarter of 0.94 g/t Au were up 9% from the first quarter and consistent with annual guidance. Milling rates have continued to increase into the third quarter following additional planned improvements. This included the installation of a redesigned liner and bolt configuration within the SAG mill which was completed during the second week of July. Following the liner change, milling rates increased to average approximately 9,500 tpd through the second half of July. Milling rates are expected to continue increasing to targeted rates of 11,200 tpd during the third quarter. Since the introduction of higher grade underground ore within the Magino mill in mid July, recoveries of the blended ore have been consistent with expectations. Island Gold District Financial Review Revenues of $210.8 million in the second quarter were 126% higher than the prior year period, driven by higher realized gold prices and an increase in ounces sold given the acquisition of Magino in July 2024. Similarly, revenues of $362.8 million during the first half of the year were 121% higher than the prior year period. Cost of sales of $88.3 million in the second quarter and $167.8 million for the first half of the year were 188% and 162% higher than the comparative periods, respectively, due to the increase in ounces sold. On a per ounce basis, cost of sales were 79% and 65% higher in the second quarter and first half of the year, respectively, as compared to the prior year comparative periods, due to the inclusion of relatively higher cost ounces from Magino in 2025. Total cash costs were $1,008 per ounce and mine-site AISC were $1,410 per ounce in the second quarter, slightly lower than the first quarter. This was driven by higher processing rates and grades at Magino, partially off-set by the higher contribution of Magino ounces to Island Gold District production. For the first half of the year, total cash costs of $1,035 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,427 per ounce were above the annual guidance range, driven by lower mill throughput at Magino. Given higher costs at Magino in the first half of the year, mine-site AISC guidance for the full year has been increased to between $1,225 and $1,275 per ounce. Costs are expected to trend lower through the remainder of the year reflecting higher milling rates within the Magino mill and increasing underground mining rates at Island Gold, both driving lower unit operating costs for the district. Total capital expenditures were $74.4 million in the second quarter, including $45.2 million of growth capital and $5.1 million of capitalized exploration. Growth capital spending remained primarily focused on the Phase 3+ Expansion, including shaft site infrastructure, paste plant, and shaft sinking. The shaft sink advanced to a depth of 1,265 m at the end of the second quarter, 92% of its ultimate planned depth. The shaft sink is scheduled to be completed late 2025, with initial production from the shaft infrastructure expected in the second half of 2026. Additionally, bulk earthworks were completed for the expansion of the Magino mill to 12,400 tpd. The expansion of the Magino mill is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, to coincide with the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold. Mine-site free cash flow was $52.3 million in the second quarter and $71.2 million in the first half of the year, net of the significant capital investment related to the Phase 3+ Expansion and exploration. At current gold prices, the Island Gold District is expected to continue self-funding the Phase 3+ Expansion and a robust exploration program, with significant free cash flow growth expected in 2026 onwards following the completion of the expansion. Young-Davidson Financial and Operational Review (1) Cost of sales includes mining and processing costs, royalties and amortization. (2) Refer to the 'Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures' section of this press release and associated MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures. (3) For the purposes of calculating mine-site all-in sustaining costs, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative expense and corporate share-based compensation expense. (4) Grams per tonne of gold. Operational review Young-Davidson produced 38,700 ounces of gold in the second quarter, 9% higher than the first quarter reflecting higher mining rates and slightly higher grades processed. Relative to the prior year period, production decreased 12% due to lower mining rates and grades. Mining rates averaged 7,190 tpd in the second quarter, a 6% improvement over the first quarter but below the annual guidance of 8,000 tpd, and a 9% decrease compared to the prior year period. Higher than average snowfall and precipitation led to a significantly higher than normal spring melt resulting in increased inflow of ground water into the underground mine. This impacted the ability to skip ore to surface, resulting in nearly a week of unplanned downtime to the shaft in May. Additionally, mining rates were impacted by power outages caused by storms in the region. Mining rates are expected to improve in the third quarter following the completion of a planned five-day shutdown for rope changes within the Northgate shaft in July. Mining rates are expected to further improve to targeted levels of 8,000 tpd in the fourth quarter. Milling rates averaged 7,026 tpd in the second quarter, below the annual guidance of 8,000 tpd and a 12% decrease compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lower underground mining rates. Milling rates were slightly below mining rates within the second quarter due to a regional weather related power outage late in the quarter. Processed grades averaged 2.05 g/t Au in the second quarter, 6% lower than the prior year period and consistent with the low-end of full year guidance. Grades mined are expected to average similar levels in the third quarter of 2025 and increase towards the upper end of full year guidance in the fourth quarter. Combined with higher mining and processing rates, this is expected to drive stronger production through the remainder of the year. Mill recoveries averaged 91% for the second quarter, in-line with annual guidance. Financial Review Revenues increased to $126.1 million in the second quarter, 19% higher than the prior year period, driven by higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower ounces sold. For the first half of the year, revenues of $227.3 million were 20% higher than the prior year, driven by the same factors as with the second quarter. Cost of sales of $65.2 million in the second quarter were 2% lower than the prior year period, reflecting lower tonnes processed and ounces sold, partially offset by ongoing labour inflation. Cost of sales of $130.3 million for the first half of the year were 1% lower than the comparative period, driven by the same factors as with the second quarter. Total cash costs of $1,233 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,575 per ounce in the second quarter were higher than the prior year period, primarily due to higher unit costs, given the lower mining and processing rates, as well as lower grades processed. Total cash costs of $1,289 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,614 per ounce for the first half of year were higher than the comparative period, driven by the same factors as the second quarter. As a result of higher unit costs incurred in the first half of the year, mine-site AISC guidance for the full year has been increased to between $1,550 and $1,600 per ounce. Costs are expected to decrease through the remainder of the year reflecting higher mining rates and grades. Capital expenditures in the second quarter totaled $21.4 million, including $12.9 million of sustaining capital and $5.6 million of growth capital. Additionally, $2.9 million was invested in capitalized exploration during the quarter. Capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized exploration, totaled $40.2 million for the first half of 2025. Young-Davidson continues to generate strong ongoing mine-site free cash flow, including a record $58.7 million in the second quarter and $97.9 million for the first half of the year. The operation is well-positioned to generate record free cash flow in 2025 and strong ongoing free cash flow over the long-term at current gold prices. Mulatos District Financial and Operational Review (1) Cost of sales includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense. (2) Refer to the 'Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures' section of this press release and associated MD&A for a description and calculation of these measures. (3) For the purposes of calculating mine-site all-in sustaining costs, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative expense and corporate share-based compensation expense. (4) Grams per tonne of gold. Mulatos District Operational Review The Mulatos District achieved a significant milestone during the second quarter producing its three millionth ounce of gold. Production totaled 34,100 ounces in the second quarter, a 12% improvement over the first quarter reflecting higher grades stacked. Production in the second quarter was 36% lower than the prior year period due to the timing of recovery of ounces stacked at La Yaqui Grande, as well as a lower contribution from residual leaching of the Mulatos leach pad. The operation is expected to benefit from the recovery of higher grades stacked during the second quarter through the remainder of the year contributing to higher production in the second half of the year. La Yaqui Grande produced 26,100 ounces in the second quarter, 38% lower than the prior year period. Grades stacked averaged 1.54 g/t Au for the second quarter, near the upper end of annual guidance, and up sharply from the first quarter with the operation benefiting from positive grade reconciliation. Grades stacked are expected to remain at similar levels the remainder of the year. Stacking rates averaged 11,200 tpd in the second quarter, exceeding annual guidance but are expected to average 10,500 tpd in the third quarter with the onset of the rainy season. Contained ounces stacked increased to 50,280 ounces, driven by significant increase in grades in the quarter. The recovery rate of 52% in the second quarter was below the annual guidance range reflecting timing of recovery of ounces stacked during the quarter. Given the higher grades stacked later in the quarter, and increased leach pad height, the recovery of a significant portion of ounces stacked in the quarter will be realized in the third and fourth quarters. Mulatos commenced residual leaching in December 2023 and produced 8,000 ounces in the second quarter, in-line with expectations. The operation is expected to benefit from ongoing gold production at decreasing rates through the remainder of 2025. Mulatos District Financial Review Revenues of $110.6 million in the second quarter were 17% lower than the prior year period, reflecting lower ounces sold, partially offset by higher realized gold prices. For the first half of the year, revenues of $194.6 million were 24% lower than the prior year, driven by the same factors. Cost of sales decreased to $47.2 million in the second quarter, 37% lower than the prior year period, driven by lower ounces sold. For the first half of the year, cost of sales were $97.8 million or 35% lower than the prior year period, also driven by lower ounces sold. Total cash costs of $1,017 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,084 per ounce in the second quarter were lower than the first quarter reflecting higher grades stacked. Both costs were higher than the prior year period, primarily due to a lower contribution of ounces from La Yaqui Grande to Mulatos District production. For the first half of the year, total cash costs of $1,129 per ounce and mine-site AISC of $1,205 per ounce were both above annual guidance but are expected to decrease through the remainder of the year bringing full year costs in line with guidance. Capital expenditures totaled $3.7 million in the second quarter, including $0.5 million of sustaining capital and $1.8 million of capitalized exploration. Growth capital spending of $1.4 million was primarily related to procurement activities and detailed engineering for PDA. Spending on PDA is expected to increase significantly in the second half of the year with the commencement of underground development and placement of long-lead time orders for the mill. The Mulatos District generated mine-site free cash flow of $55.2 million in the second quarter and $55.8 million for the first half of the year, lower than the comparative periods reflecting lower gold sales and higher cash taxes. The free cash flow generated was net of $15.4 million of cash tax payments in the second quarter, and $63.7 million in the first half of the year, primarily related to 2024 income and mining taxes payable, and 2025 income tax installments. The Company expects cash tax payments of between $15 and $20 million per quarter for the remainder of the year, related to the 2025 tax year. At current gold prices, the Mulatos District is expected to generate stronger mine-site free cash flow in the second half of the year, reflecting higher production and lower costs. Second Quarter 2025 Development Activities Island Gold (Ontario, Canada) Phase 3+ Expansion In 2022, the Company announced the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold to 2,400 tpd from the current rate of 1,200 tpd, which includes various infrastructure investments. These include the installation of a shaft, paste plant, as well as accelerated development to support the higher mining rates. Following the completion of the expansion in 2026, the operation will transition from trucking ore and waste up the ramp to skipping ore and waste to surface through the new shaft infrastructure, driving production higher and costs significantly lower. On June 23, 2025, the Company announced the Base Case LOM Plan with the total growth capital estimate for the Phase 3+ Expansion revised to $835 million. This represents a 10% increase from the original growth capital estimate prepared in 2022. The recent increase reflects ongoing labour inflation, as well as the use of a contractor to support off shaft development, and construction activities related to the ore and waste handling system. As at June 30, 2025, 79% of the total initial capital has been spent and committed on the Phase 3+ Expansion. In addition, the Company is evaluating the addition of a pebble crusher and auxiliary mill to the Magino mill to support the expansion to 12,400 tpd. This would represent a potential scope change at an additional cost of approximately $40 million. These component changes will be re-evaluated over the next several months to assess if they will be required as part of a potential larger expansion of up to 20,000 tpd. This evaluation process is ongoing and the Expansion Study is expected to be released before the end of 2025. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company spent $39.8 million on the Phase 3+ Expansion and capital development. Progress on the Phase 3+ Expansion during the second quarter is summarized as follows: The Phase 3+ Expansion is on schedule to be completed in the second half of 2026. Island Gold shaft site area - July 2025 Island Gold paste plant - July 2025 Island Gold 1265L shaft station with galloway (depth of 1,265 m) - July 2025 Lynn Lake (Manitoba, Canada) On January 13, 2025, the Company announced a positive construction decision on the Lynn Lake project. With the approval of the Closure Plan in January 2025, the required permitting and pre-construction conditions have been met allowing for the start of construction on the Lynn Lake project. During the first quarter of 2025, the Company also signed an Impact Benefit Agreement ('IBA') with Mathias Colomb Cree Nation ('MCCN'). The Company now has IBAs in place with both of the First Nation communities proximate to the Lynn Lake project. Given ongoing wildfires that continue to impact communities across northern Manitoba, the ramp up of construction activities on the Lynn Lake project has been temporarily paused. Assuming the resumption of construction activities during the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects the completion of the Lynn Lake project in the second half of 2028. This represents an approximate six-month delay from the previous schedule given the loss of the majority of the summer construction season. With average annual production of 176,000 ounces over its first ten years at first quartile mine-site AISC, Lynn Lake is expected to increase consolidated production to approximately 900,000 ounces per year. Growth capital spending at Lynn Lake was initially estimated to be between $100 million and $120 million in 2025, but may vary depending on the timing of the restart of construction activities. Construction activities and capital spending are expected to increase in 2026 and 2027 with first gold production expected in the second half of 2028. Total initial growth capital for Lynn Lake was estimated to be $632 million in the 2023 Feasibility Study ('2023 Study'), based on input costs as of the fourth quarter of 2022. As detailed in the three year guidance press release issued in January 2025, initial capital for Lynn Lake is expected to increase by approximately 10% given ongoing industry-wide labour and materials inflation, which has averaged close to 5% per year since the end of 2022. The Company is also evaluating the impact on initial capital caused by the forest fire related delays, and any updates to the initial capital estimate will be provided following the resumption of construction activities. On February 13, 2025, the Company reported positive results of an internal economic study completed on its Burnt Timber and Linkwood satellite deposits located in proximity to the Lynn Lake project. The 2023 Study for Lynn Lake was based only on the Gordon and MacLellan deposits which are to be mined over the first 11 years, with the processing of lower grade stockpiled ore for the remainder of the 17-year mine life. The Burnt Timber and Linkwood deposits are expected to provide a source of additional mill feed to the Lynn Lake project starting in year 12, deferring the lower grade stockpiles until later in the mine plan. This is expected to extend the mine life of the combined Lynn Lake project to 27 years, increase longer term production rates, and enhance its economics as a low-capital, high-return satellite project. The two deposits are expected to produce an average of 83,000 ounces of gold per year over a 10 year mine life. By leveraging mining equipment and planned processing infrastructure at Lynn Lake, the project is expected to be developed for low initial capital of $67 million. This is expected to contribute to high returns for the Burnt Timber and Linkwood satellite deposits, with an after-tax internal rate of return ('IRR') of 54%, and after-tax NPV (5%) of $177 million at a base case gold price assumption of $2,200 per ounce and CAD/USD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1. At a gold price of $2,800 per ounce and CAD/USD foreign exchange rate of $0.70:1, returns increase to an after-tax IRR of 83% and after-tax NPV (5%) of $292 million. Development spending (excluding exploration) was $18.8 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily on temporary camp installation, site facilities, tree clearing and process design engineering. PDA (Sonora, Mexico) On September 4, 2024, the Company reported the results of the development plan for the PDA project located within the Mulatos District. PDA is a higher-grade underground deposit adjacent to the Mulatos open pit and will benefit from the use of existing crushing infrastructure from Cerro Pelon, supporting lower initial capital and project execution risk. On January 29, 2025, the Company announced it has been granted approval of an amendment to its existing environmental impact assessment (Manifestación de Impacto Ambiental) by Mexico's Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources, allowing for the start of construction on the PDA project. Construction activities on PDA are expected to begin ramping up in the third quarter of 2025. Capital spending on PDA is expected to total $37 to $40 million in 2025 to advance underground development and procurement of mill long lead time items. The remainder of the total initial capital estimate of $165 million will be spent in 2026 and 2027 with first production anticipated mid-2027. As outlined in the 2024 development plan, PDA is expected to produce an average of 127,000 ounces per year over the first four years and 104,000 ounces over the current mine life (based on Mineral Reserves as at December 31, 2023). Total cash costs are expected to average $921 per ounce and mine-site AISC $1,003 per ounce, consistent with the Company's overall low cost structure. Reflecting the low cost structure and low initial capital, PDA is expected to be a high-return project with significant exploration upside. PDA has an estimated after-tax IRR of 46% and after-tax NPV (5%) of $269 million using base case gold price assumption of $1,950 per ounce and a MXN/USD foreign exchange rate of 18:1. Using a $2,500 per ounce gold price, PDA's after-tax IRR increases to 73%, and after-tax NPV (5%) increases to $492 million. Development spending (excluding exploration) was $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily focused on procurement activities and detailed engineering. Spending on PDA is expected to increase in second half of the year with underground development commencing. Kirazlı (Çanakkale, Türkiye) On October 14, 2019, the Company suspended all construction activities on its Kirazlı project following the Turkish government's failure to grant a routine renewal of the Company's mining licenses, despite the Company having met all legal and regulatory requirements for their renewal. In October 2020, the Turkish government refused the renewal of the Company's Forestry Permit. The Company had been granted approval of all permits required to construct Kirazlı including the Environmental Impact Assessment approval, Forestry Permit, and GSM (Business Opening and Operation) permit, and certain key permits for the nearby Ağı Dağı and Çamyurt Gold Mines. These permits were granted by the Turkish government after the project earned the support of the local communities and passed an extensive multi-year environmental review and community consultation process. On April 20, 2021, the Company announced that its Netherlands wholly-owned subsidiaries Alamos Gold Holdings Coöperatief U.A, and Alamos Gold Holdings B.V. ('Subsidiaries') would be filing an investment treaty claim against the Republic of Türkiye for expropriation and unfair and inequitable treatment. The claim was filed under the Netherlands-Türkiye Bilateral Investment Treaty ('Treaty'). Alamos Gold Holdings Coöperatief U.A. and Alamos Gold Holdings B.V. had their claim against the Republic of Türkiye registered on June 7, 2021 with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (World Bank Group). Bilateral investment treaties are agreements between countries to assist with the protection of investments. The Treaty establishes legal protections for investment between Türkiye and the Netherlands. The Subsidiaries directly own and control the Company's Turkish assets. The Subsidiaries invoking their rights pursuant to the Treaty does not mean that they relinquish their rights to the Turkish project, or otherwise cease the Turkish operations. The Company will continue to work towards a constructive resolution with the Republic of Türkiye. The Company incurred $1.4 million in the second quarter of 2025 related to ongoing care and maintenance and arbitration costs to progress the Treaty claim, which were expensed. Second Quarter 2025 Exploration Activities Island Gold District (Ontario, Canada) A total of $27 million is budgeted for exploration at the Island Gold District in 2025, up from $20 million spent in 2024. The exploration program will build on the success from 2024, with high-grade gold mineralization extended across the Island Gold deposit, as well as within multiple structures of the hanging wall and footwall. As announced on June 23, 2025, Mineral Reserves at Island Gold underground increased 138% to 4.1 million ounces with grades increasing 5% to 10.85 g/t Au (11.8 mt) driven by Mineral Resource conversion. This marked the 12th consecutive year of Mineral Reserve growth. An updated classification methodology was adopted based on definition drilling, extensive historical and current production data, reconciliation, and underground mapping, which demonstrates that Indicated Mineral Resource continuity can be reliably established with an average drill spacing of 40 metres, versus 25 metres previously. This contributed to the conversion of a portion of the large Inferred Mineral Resource to Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources, which was subsequently converted to Mineral Reserves. Reflecting the conversion to Mineral Reserves, Inferred Mineral Resources decreased 64% to 1.3 million ounces with grades increasing 16% to 16.88 g/t Au (2.4 mt). Consistent with the increase in Mineral Reserve grades, a key driver of the increase in Mineral Resource grades has been significantly higher-grade additions in the lower portions of Island East and Island Main. With the deposit open laterally and at depth, and some of the best intercepts ever drilled at Island Gold located within the lower portion of Island East, there is excellent potential for further growth in Mineral Reserves and Resources. The discovery cost of the high-grade Mineral Resource additions averaged an attractive $13 per ounce in 2024, and $13 per ounce over the past five years. A total of 41,500 m of underground drilling is planned in 2025 with a focus on defining new Mineral Reserves and Resources in proximity to existing production horizons and infrastructure. This includes drilling across the strike extent of the main Island Gold deposit (E1E and C-Zones), as well as within a growing number of newly defined hanging-wall and footwall zones. Additionally, 18,000 m of surface exploration drilling has been budgeted targeting the area between the Island Gold and Magino deposits, as well as the down-plunge extension of the Island Gold deposit, below a depth of 1,500 m. Included within sustaining capital, 30,800 m of underground delineation drilling is planned and focused on the ongoing conversion of the large Mineral Resource base to Mineral Reserves. Magino's exploration program has been incorporated into the broader Island Gold District budget which totals $27 million. The focus in 2025 will be expanding mineralization to the east of the pit, which was previously constrained by the border with Island Gold prior to the acquisition. Included within 2025 sustaining capital guidance is 18,000 m of surface delineation drilling planned at Magino. The focus of the delineation drilling is the conversion of the large Mineral Resource base to Mineral Reserves. The regional exploration program at the Island Gold District includes 10,000 m of surface drilling, consistent with the 2024 program. The focus will be following up on high-grade mineralization intersected at the Cline-Pick and Edwards deposits located approximately seven km northeast of the Island Gold mine. Drilling will also be completed at the Island Gold North Shear target, and to the east and along strike from the Island Gold mine to test the extension of the E1E-zone. During the second quarter, 12,635 m of underground exploration drilling was completed in 53 holes, and 1,893 m of surface drilling was completed in one hole at Island Gold. Additionally, 11,173 m of underground delineation drilling was completed in 40 holes, focused on in-fill drilling to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. A surface delineation program also commenced during the quarter, targeting Mineral Resource-to-Reserve conversion in the lower portion of Island East. To support this effort, 4,713 m were drilled in two holes. Furthermore, a total of 93 meters of underground exploration drift development was completed during the second quarter. At Magino, 12,008 m of surface drilling was completed in 23 holes during the second quarter, focused on in-fill drilling to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. The regional exploration drilling program continued during the second quarter, with 4,273 m completed in 15 holes targeting mineralization at the past-producing Cline-Pick and Edwards mines. As detailed in the June 2025 exploration update, the program continues to have broad based success with drilling extending high-grade gold mineralization across the Island Gold Deposit, as well as within several hanging wall and footwall structures, highlighting the significant near-mine upside potential. Additionally, the regional exploration program has been successful in intersecting high-grade gold mineralization at the past-producing Cline-Pick and Edwards mines highlighting longer-term opportunities for further growth. Total exploration expenditures during the second quarter of 2025 were $6.8 million, of which $5.1 million was capitalized. In the first half of the year, the Company incurred exploration expenditures of $11.8 million, of which $9.0 million was capitalized. Young-Davidson (Ontario, Canada) A total of $11 million is budgeted for exploration at Young-Davidson in 2025, an increase from $9 million spent in 2024. This includes 25,600 m of underground exploration drilling focused on extending mineralization in the syenite, and continuing to evaluate and expand on the newly defined hanging wall zones. To support the program, 500 m of underground exploration development is planned, including 400 m to establish a hanging wall exploration drift to the south, from the 9620 level. As of June 30, 2025, 300 m had been completed in the hanging wall drift and is expected to be completed in the third quarter. This will allow for drill platforms with more optimal locations and orientations to test the higher grade mineralization discovered in the hanging wall. The regional program includes 6,000 m of drilling focused on evaluating the Otisse NE target, located approximately three km northeast of Young-Davidson. A comprehensive data compilation project will also commence in 2025 for the Wydee and Matachewan projects, which were acquired in the third quarter of 2024, and located to the west and east of Young-Davidson, respectively. During the second quarter, two underground exploration drills completed 5,009 m in nine holes from the 9440 and 9500 levels. Drilling is targeting syenite-hosted mineralization as well as continuing to test mineralization in the hanging wall sediments and mafic-ultramafic stratigraphy. Total exploration expenditures during the second quarter of 2025 were $3.8 million, of which $2.9 million was capitalized. In the first half of 2025, the Company incurred exploration expenditures of $6.8 million, of which $4.9 million was capitalized. Mulatos District (Sonora, Mexico) A total of $19 million is budgeted at Mulatos for exploration in 2025, down slightly from $21 million spent in 2024. The near-mine and regional drilling program is expected to total 45,000 m. This includes 15,000 m of surface exploration drilling at the GAP-Victor and PDA Extension targets at PDA, and 20,000 m planned at Cerro Pelon. The regional exploration program includes 10,000 m of drilling focused on advanced and greenfield targets within the Mulatos District. Ongoing exploration success at PDA in 2024 drove a 9% increase in Mineral Reserves to 1.1 million ounces, with grades largely unchanged at 5.45 g/t Au. PDA is a higher-grade underground deposit located adjacent to the main Mulatos pit. The results of a positive internal economic study were announced in September 2024 and highlighted an attractive, low-cost, high-return project. With the amendment to the environmental permit received earlier this year, construction activities are expected to begin ramping up towards the middle of the year with first production anticipated mid-2027. The planned addition of a mill to process higher-grade sulphides has created new opportunities for growth within the Mulatos District. This includes Cerro Pelon, where drilling in 2024 followed up on wide high-grade underground oxide and sulphide intersections previously drilled below the pit. The 2024 program was successful in defining an initial Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource at Cerro Pelon totaling 104,000 ounces, grading 4.49 g/t Au. Cerro Pelon remains open in multiple directions and will be a focus of the 2025 exploration program as a significant opportunity for further growth. As the deposit is located within trucking distance of the planned PDA mill, this represents upside to the PDA project. During the second quarter, exploration activities continued at PDA and the near-mine area with 7,791 m of drilling completed in 27 holes. The focus was on infill drilling the GAP-Victor portion as well as the eastern extent of the PDA zone. Drilling continued at Cerro Pelon with the focus on evaluating the high-grade sulphide potential to the north of the historical open pit. A total of 6,744 m in 24 holes were completed in the second quarter. Additionally, 6,273 m was drilled in 23 holes, testing greenfield targets across the property. Total exploration expenditures during the second quarter of 2025 were $6.0 million, of which $1.8 million was capitalized. In the first half of the year, exploration expenditures totaled $9.0 million, of which $2.5 million was capitalized. Lynn Lake (Manitoba, Canada) A total of $4 million is budgeted for exploration at the Lynn Lake project in 2025, down from $7 million spent in 2024, with the focus shifting to the ramp up of construction activities. The exploration program includes 7,000 m of drilling focused on expanding Mineral Resources at the Burnt Timber and Linkwood deposits. The Company will also continue prioritizing a pipeline of prospective exploration targets within the 58,000-ha Lynn Lake Property. As reported on February 18, 2025, total Mineral Reserves for the Lynn Lake District increased 42% to 3.3 million ounces, with grades decreasing 15% to 1.29 g/t Au. This was driven by the successful conversion of Mineral Resources to Reserves at Burnt Timber and Linkwood in 2024 resulting in an initial Mineral Reserve of 0.9 million ounces grading 0.95 g/t Au. Burnt Timber and Linkwood are satellite deposits to the Lynn Lake project and are expected to provide additional mill feed. An internal economic study on Burnt Timber and Linkwood was released on February 13, 2025, outlining an attractive, low capital, high-return project. Burnt Timber and Linkwood are expected to extend the mine life of the Lynn Lake project, increase longer term rates of production, and enhance the overall economics. The combined mine life of the Lynn Lake project is expected to increase to 27 years, up from the 17 years outlined in the 2023 Study. The 2025 surface exploration program was completed in the first quarter. The focus was on Mineral Resource expansion drilling at both Burnt Timber and Linkwood, with 7,268 m completed in 41 holes. Exploration spending totaled $0.7 million in the second quarter and $2.6 million for the first half of the year, all of which was capitalized. Qiqavik (Quebec, Canada) A total of $7 million has been budgeted for exploration at the Qiqavik project in 2025, up from $4 million spent in 2024. The project was acquired in April 2024 through the acquisition of Orford Mining Corporation. Qiqavik is a camp-scale property covering 60,400 ha in the Cape Smith Greenstone Belt in Nunavik, Quebec. The Qiqavik project covers 50 km of strike covering prospective gold hosting environments and several major crustal-scale structures such as the Qiqavik break and the Bergeron fault. Early-stage exploration completed to date indicates that high-grade gold occurrences are controlled by structural splays off the Qiqavik break. The 2025 exploration program will focus on drilling prospective targets identified in 2024 through detailed geological mapping, prospecting, till sampling, and a high-resolution Lidar survey with photo imagery. A total of 7,000 m of helicopter supported surface drilling is planned with two rigs and focused on testing the highest priority target areas. The program will also focus on advancing other targets across the belt with ongoing geological mapping, drone magnetics, prospecting, and additional till sampling. Exploration activities in the second quarter were focused on continued data interpretation to support targeting ahead of the summer drill program. At the end of the second quarter, the camp had been set up and drills were mobilized to site for the start of the summer drill program. Exploration spending totaled $1.4 million in the second quarter and $1.7 million for first half of the year all of which was expensed. Review of Second Quarter Financial Results During the second quarter of 2025, the Company sold 135,027 ounces of gold for record operating revenues of $438.2 million, representing a 32% increase from the prior year period. The increase was due to higher realized gold prices and the inclusion of ounces at Magino given its acquisition in July 2024, partially offset by lower sales volumes at La Yaqui Grande due to timing of ounces recovered on the leach pad, and at Young-Davidson where higher-than-normal water levels impacted the mining rates. The average realized gold price in the second quarter was $3,223 per ounce, 38% higher than the prior year period. This was $57 per ounce less the London PM Fix price for the quarter, reflecting the delivery of the 12,346 ounces into the gold prepayment facility entered into in July 2024 based on the prepaid price of $2,524 per ounce. Cost of sales (which includes mining and processing costs, royalties, and amortization expense) were $200.7 million in the second quarter, 16% higher than the prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of higher cost ounces from Magino. Excluding costs incurred at Magino, cost of sales were $149.9 million which was 13% lower than the prior year period, driven by the lower sales volumes at the Mulatos District and Young-Davidson. Key drivers of changes to cost of sales as compared to the prior year period were as follows: Mining and processing costs were $140.4 million, 20% higher than the prior year period, primarily due to the inclusion of Magino. Excluding costs incurred at Magino, mining and processing costs were $105.1 million, 10% lower than the prior year period. The decrease was primarily driven by lower ounces sold at Mulatos and Young-Davidson. Total cash costs of $1,075 per ounce and AISC of $1,475 per ounce were above the prior year period driven by the higher costs per ounce at Young-Davidson, due to lower grades and mining rates, the inclusion of higher cost ounces at Magino, and higher share-based compensation and royalty expense. Royalty expense was $7.6 million in the second quarter, higher than the prior year period of $3.0 million, due to the higher average realized gold price, and inclusion of royalties incurred at Magino. Amortization of $52.7 million in the second quarter was consistent with the prior year period. On a per ounce basis, amortization of $390 per ounce was higher than the prior year period, reflecting the inclusion of Magino which has a higher amortization base. The Company recognized earnings from operations of $216.2 million in the second quarter, 56% higher than the prior year period, driven by the higher gold price. As at June 30, 2025, the Company held forward contracts that were acquired as part of the acquisition of Argonaut. These legacy contracts, totaling 100,000 ounces in 2026 and 50,000 ounces in 2027, have an average forward price of $1,821 per ounce, and mature monthly throughout 2026 and 2027. The Company recognized unrealized losses of $25.8 million on the forward contracts inherited from Argonaut driven by the movement in gold price in the second quarter. The Company recognized unrealized losses of $0.4 million on gold option contracts in the prior year period. The Company reported net earnings of $159.4 million in the second quarter, compared to $70.1 million in the prior year period. Adjusted earnings(1) were $144.1 million, or $0.34 per share, which included an adjustment for unrealized losses on the legacy Argonaut commodity hedge derivatives, net of tax of $17.1 million. In addition, adjusted earnings reflect net unrealized foreign exchange gains recorded within deferred taxes and foreign exchange losses totaling $34.3 million and other adjustments of $1.9 million.

The litigation against the Republic of Türkiye, described above, results from the actions of the Turkish government in respect of the Company's projects in the Republic of Türkiye. Such litigation is a mitigation effort and may not be effective or successful. If unsuccessful, the Company's projects in Türkiye may be subject to resource nationalism and further expropriation; the Company may lose any remaining value of its assets and gold mining projects in Türkiye and its ability to operate in Türkiye. Even if the litigation is successful, there is no certainty as to the quantum of any damages award or recovery of all, or any, legal costs. Any resumption of activities in Türkiye by the Company, or even retaining control of its assets and gold mining projects in Türkiye can only result from agreement with the Turkish government. The investment treaty claim described in this press release may have an impact on foreign direct investment in the Republic of Türkiye which may result in changes to the Turkish economy, including but not limited to high rates of inflation and fluctuation of the Turkish Lira which may also affect the Company's relationship with the Turkish government, the Company's ability to effectively operate in Türkiye, and which may have a negative effect on overall anticipated project values. Additional risk factors and details with respect to risk factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this release are set out in the Company's latest 40-F/Annual Information Form under the heading 'Risk Factors', which is available on the SEDAR+ website at or on EDGAR at . The foregoing should be reviewed in conjunction with the information, risk factors and assumptions found in this release. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Concerning Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources: All resource and reserve estimates included in this press release or documents referenced in this press release have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101') and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ('CIM') - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended ('CIM Standards'). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 ('SEC Industry Guide 7') under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The SEC has adopted final rules, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act ('Regulation S-K 1300') which became mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021. Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of 'Measured Mineral Resources', 'Indicated Mineral Resources' and 'Inferred Mineral Resources'. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of 'Proven Mineral Reserves' and 'Probable Mineral Reserves' to be substantially similar to international standards. Investors are cautioned that while the above terms are 'substantially similar' to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under Regulation S-K 1300 and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as 'proven mineral reserves', 'probable mineral reserves', 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources' under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under Regulation S-K 1300. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources' under Regulation S-K 1300, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater degree of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. International Financial Reporting Standards: The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by management in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB (note 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024). These accounting principles differ in certain material respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Company's reporting currency is the United States dollar unless otherwise noted. Non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial measures to supplement its condensed interim consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following: The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Management's determination of the components of non-GAAP and additional measures are evaluated on a periodic basis influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. Adjusted Net Earnings and Adjusted Earnings per Share 'Adjusted net earnings' and 'adjusted earnings per share' are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS which exclude the following from net earnings: The Company uses adjusted net earnings for its own internal purposes. Management's internal budgets and forecasts and public guidance do not reflect the items which have been excluded from the determination of adjusted net earnings. Consequently, the presentation of adjusted net earnings enables shareholders to better understand the underlying operating performance of the core mining business through the eyes of management. Management periodically evaluates the components of adjusted net earnings based on an internal assessment of performance measures that are useful for evaluating the operating performance of our business and a review of the non-GAAP measures used by mining industry analysts and other mining companies. Adjusted net earnings is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operations as determined under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Cash Flow from Operating Activities before Changes in Working Capital and Cash Taxes 'Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and cash taxes' is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations, and is calculated by adding back the change in working capital and cash taxes to cash flow from operating activities. 'Cash flow from operating activities before changes in working capital and cash taxes' is a non-GAAP financial measure with no standard meaning under IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. Company-wide Free Cash Flow 'Company-wide free cash flow' is a non-GAAP performance measure calculated from cash flow from operating activities, less mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures and non-recurring costs. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash company-wide. Company-wide free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Company-wide free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Mine-site Free Cash Flow 'Mine-site free cash flow' is a non-GAAP financial performance measure calculated as cash flow from operating mine-sites, less mine-site mineral property, plant and equipment expenditures. The Company believes this to be a useful indicator of our ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Mine-site free cash flow is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures of performance presented by other mining companies. Mine-site free cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. (1) Cash from operating activities for the Canadian operations excludes the impact of the 12,346 ounces and 24,692 ounces delivered into the gold prepayment arrangement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The non-cash adjustment to reflect the settlement of the gold prepayment arrangement is included in Company-wide Free Cash Flow. (2) Comparative prior year period figures do not include the Magino mine, as the acquisition of the Magino mine was completed on July 12, 2024. Total Cash Costs per ounce Total cash costs per ounce is a non-GAAP term typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. This non-GAAP term is also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operating activities. Total cash costs per ounce includes mining and processing costs plus applicable royalties, and net of by-product revenue and net realizable value adjustments. Total cash costs per ounce is exclusive of exploration costs. Total cash costs per ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS. All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce and Mine-site All-in Sustaining Costs The Company adopted an 'all-in sustaining costs per ounce' non-GAAP performance measure in accordance with the World Gold Council published in June 2013. The Company believes the measure more fully defines the total costs associated with producing gold; however, this performance measure has no standardized meaning. Accordingly, there may be some variation in the method of computation of 'all-in sustaining costs per ounce' as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, 'all-in sustaining costs per ounce' for the consolidated Company reflects total mining and processing costs, corporate and administrative costs, share-based compensation, exploration costs, sustaining capital, and other operating costs. For the purposes of calculating 'mine-site all-in sustaining costs' at the individual mine-sites, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative costs and corporate share-based compensation, as detailed in the reconciliations below. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company's development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company's operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature. Non-sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures primarily incurred at development projects and costs related to major projects at existing operations, where these projects will materially benefit the mine site. Capitalized exploration expenditures are expenditures that meet the IFRS definition for capitalization, and are incurred to further expand the known Mineral Reserves and Resources at existing operations or development projects. For each mine-site reconciliation, corporate and administrative costs, and non-site specific costs are not included in the all-in sustaining cost per ounce calculation. All-in sustaining costs per gold ounce is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The measure is not necessarily indicative of cash flow from operating activities under IFRS or operating costs presented under IFRS. Total Cash Costs and All-in Sustaining Costs per Ounce Reconciliation Tables The following tables reconciles these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measures on a Company-wide and individual mine-site basis. (1) Corporate and administrative expenses exclude expenses incurred at development properties. (2) Comparative prior year period figures do not include the Magino mine, as the acquisition of the Magino mine was completed on July 12, 2024. (3) Sustaining capital expenditures are defined as those expenditures which do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and exclude all expenditures at growth projects and certain expenditures at operating sites which are deemed expansionary in nature. Total sustaining capital expenditures for the periods are as follow Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA represents net earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization and removes the effects of certain items that the Company believes are not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the reporting period. The measure also removes the impact of non-cash items such as impairment loss charges or reversals, and realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is an indicator of the Company's ability to generate liquidity by producing operating cash flow to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations, and fund capital expenditures. Adjusted EBITDA does not have any standardized meaning under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other mining companies. It should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following table reconciles this non-GAAP measure to the most directly comparable IFRS measure. (1) Adjusted EBITDA has been restated in the prior year comparatives to include the impact of non-cash unrealized gains or losses on derivative financial instruments. Additional GAAP Measures Additional GAAP measures are presented on the Company's condensed interim consolidated financial statements and are not meant to be a substitute for other subtotals or totals presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measures. The following additional GAAP measures are used and are intended to provide an indication of the Company's mine and operating performance: ALAMOS GOLD INC.

Unite union probe finds alleged £70m black hole from hotel project
A report released today claims Unite was overcharged £30m on the building of its hotel and conference centre in Birmingham - with boss Sharon Graham vowing to "get our money back" One of Britain's biggest trade unions Unite is sitting on a £70m loss from building a hotel and conference centre in Birmingham, according to a report out today. An independent investigation by the union has established that its former general secretary Len McCluskey was 'good friends' with directors of the main contractor which was given the job without a competitive tendering process.. The contractor, Liverpool-headquartered Flanagan Group, gave the left-wing firebrand Mr McCluskey Champions League final tickets and flew him there by private jet, according to a report published today. Unite has identified what it claims is £30m in overcharging on the hotel project. Britain's second biggest union says it spent at least £110m on a project that has been valued at just £37.5m. Flanagan Group told the Mirror that nobody was available for comment on today's report. Mr McCluskey's lawyers told the BBC that he paid for his own travel in full and that, to his recollection, he always paid the cost of his football tickets. Unite's current General Secretary Sharon Graham commissioned the investigations - dubbed Project Clean-Up - after she took over from Mr McCluskey in 2021. In April 2022, South Wales Police raided the Unite offices of a senior official, as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged 'criminal offences of bribery, fraud, money-laundering and tax evasion'. That official has left the union following a disciplinary process. Ms Graham said: 'When I was elected, I pledged to uncover the truth about allegations of historical corruption, particularly in relation to the Birmingham Hotel and Conference Centre. Today I have delivered on that promise. Getting to the truth has been ugly, with those with much to lose and different agendas using abhorrent tactics, in order to frustrate and divert the process. These tactics did not work. 'Regardless of where the ongoing police inquiries lead, the independent investigations are clear: money left our union when it should not have. And other money that should have come into the union did not. I make our members this promise: I will do everything in my power to get our money back. 'Creating transparency through the publication of this report is only the start. We need to ensure that this can never happen again. Looking to the future, Unite is in a very strong financial position. Our substantial resource going forward will be focused on the frontline, the workplace, strike pay, opening offices, and defending workers.' Unite has more than 1.2m members and says it is in a 'very healthy financial position' with liquid assets of over £160m and a balance sheet of around £400m. But an independent inquiry it commissioned from Martin Bowdery KC found that the union had been overcharged at least £30m by the main contractor on Birmingham. This alleged overcharging included 'numerous unexplained bills', with the union claiming that holes in blockwork walls should have cost £91,000 when in fact Unite says it was charged £1.3m. It accused Mr McCluskey of signing the contracts with the Flanagan Group and claimed he 'overruled Unite staff who raised questions, and overruled Unite's lawyers who advised against the contracts'. Mr McCluskey has said decisions were made by a former finance director who died in 2020 and that the high costs of the project were justified by the use of union labour. The Flanagan Group has said that it was "proud" of its work on the scheme and blamed "radical changes to design and working practices" for rising costs. The Serious Fraud Office is investigating the hotel project but a spokesperson said: 'In line with long established practice to avoid prejudice to law enforcement activity, we can neither confirm nor deny any investigation into this matter."

Alamos Gold Announces Island Gold District Base Case Life of Mine Plan Outlining One of the Largest and Lowest-Cost Gold Mines in Canada with Significant Upside
All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. TORONTO, June 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) ('Alamos' or the 'Company') today reported results of the Base Case Life of Mine Plan ('Base Case LOM Plan') completed on the Island Gold District operation, located in Ontario, Canada. The Base Case LOM Plan integrates Island Gold and Magino as one consolidated long-life operation that is expected to become one of the largest, lowest-cost, and most profitable gold mines in Canada. An Expansion Study is expected to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025 detailing the significant upside potential within the Island Gold District beyond the Base Case LOM Plan. The Base Case LOM Plan has been updated to reflect the current costing environment, significant growth in Mineral Reserves at Island Gold, operating savings resulting from the use of a larger and more efficient Magino mill, and scope changes since the Phase 3+ Expansion Study ('Phase 3+ Study'), which was completed in 2022. The Base Case LOM Plan includes Mineral Reserves only at Island Gold and Magino. Both deposits have significant Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources, which have not been factored into the Base Case LOM Plan and economic analysis. All amounts are in United States dollars, unless otherwise stated. 'The Base Case Plan for the Island Gold District outlines an attractive, long-life operation that is expected to become one of Canada's largest, lowest-cost, and most profitable gold mines. This is a first look at an operation with significant upside potential which we expect to detail in an Expansion Study later this year. We expect this to include a larger Mineral Reserve through ongoing Mineral Resource conversion, and a potential further expansion up to 20,000 tonnes per day, supporting an even larger, more valuable, and profitable operation. Longer-term, we see excellent opportunities for that value to continue to grow through ongoing exploration success at Island Gold, and a number of emerging higher-grade regional targets that have the potential to support multiple sources of ore within an expanded mill,' said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer. Base Case LOM Plan Highlights: Average annual gold production of 411,000 ounces starting in 2026 and over the initial 12 years, a 43% increase from the mid-point of 2025 production guidance driven by the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion Average annual production of 306,000 ounces over the 20-year Mineral Reserve life Significant upside potential through a further expansion of the operation, and the expected conversion of a significant portion of the large Mineral Resource base to Mineral Reserves through ongoing delineation drilling Low-cost structure: average mine-site all-in sustaining costs ('mine-site AISC') of $915 per ounce over the initial 12 years (2026+), a 19% decrease from the mid-point of 2025 guidance Average total cash costs of $581 per ounce over the initial 12 years (average $699 per ounce over the life of mine) Average AISC of $1,003 per ounce over the life of mine, an 11% decrease from 2025 guidance Long-life operation supported by a large and growing Mineral Reserve base 48% increase in total Mineral Reserves to 6.3 million ounces (88.6 million tonnes ('mt') grading 2.23 grams per tonne ('g/t Au'), including: 4.1 million ounces grading 10.85 g/t Au (11.8 mt) at Island Gold underground, up 80% from the end of 2024 reflecting the conversion of Mineral Resources 2.2 million ounces grading 0.91 g/t Au (76.9 mt) at Magino open pit, up 12% from the end of 2024 Significant upside potential expected to be outlined in an Expansion Study in the fourth quarter of 2025 Base Case LOM Plan based only on Mineral Reserves and long-term milling rates of 12,400 tonnes per day ('tpd') Expansion Study expected to include an increase in milling rates potentially to between 18,000 and 20,000 tpd supporting higher throughput rates from both Island Gold and Magino, and The incorporation of a larger Mineral Reserve through the expected conversion of a significant portion of existing Mineral Resources, which consist of: Island Gold Underground M&I Mineral Resources: 1.0M oz grading 10.49 g/t Au (3.1 mt) Inferred Mineral Resources: 1.3M oz grading 16.88 g/t Au (2.4 mt) Magino Open Pit M&I Mineral Resources: 1.8M oz grading 0.91 g/t Au (60.3 mt) Inferred Mineral Resources: 1.2M oz grading 0.92 g/t Au (40.3 mt) Low capital intensity Growth capital of $453 million with the majority to be spent over the next two years, focused on completing the Phase 3+ Expansion and Magino mill expansion to 12,400 tpd Sustaining capital of $1,808 million over the life of mine, or $304 per ounce Sustaining capital intensity expected to decrease within Expansion Study reflecting a larger Mineral Reserve leveraging existing infrastructure Total all-in cost of $1,079 per ounce, including total capital intensity of $380 per ounce Attractive base case economics with significant upside After-tax net present value ('NPV') (5%) of $4.5 billion, (base case long-term gold price assumption of $2,400 per ounce and USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1) After-tax NPV (5%) of $6.7 billion, at current gold prices of approximately $3,300 per ounce Expansion Study is expected to demonstrate attractive economics with a further increase in value reflecting a larger Mineral Reserve and higher throughput rates Phase 3+ Expansion expected to be completed during the second half of 2026 Base Case LOM Plan is consistent with existing three-year production guidance The slight delay in the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion (from the first half of 2026 previously) is not expected to impact production or cost guidance in 2026 and 2027 Work on the Phase 3+ Expansion has been largely de-risked with a number of key projects substantially complete including the shaft surface infrastructure, and shaft development which is currently at 92% of its ultimate planned depth Low and decreasing Greenhouse Gas ('GHG') emission intensity 29% reduction of GHG emissions per ounce from already low levels which are currently 57% below the industry average. This is expected to be achieved through the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion, and connection of the Magino mill to grid power in 2026 Fully funded growth: ongoing free cash flow with significant growth expected in 2026 Island Gold District is expected to self finance all remaining growth capital at current gold prices with significant free cash flow growth following the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion in 2026 Base Case LOM Plan Highlights Production Mine life (years) 20 Phase 3+ Expansion completion date H2 2026 Total gold production (000 ounces) 6,112 Average annual gold production – 12-year average, 2026+ (000 ounces) 411 Average annual gold production – life of mine (000 ounces) 306 Total mill feed (000 tonnes) 88,648 Average mill throughput – 2027+ (tpd) 12,400 Average gold grade (g/t Au) 2.23 Average Island Gold ore throughput – 2027+ (tpd) 2,400 Average Island Gold ore grade milled (g/t Au) 10.85 Average Magino ore throughput (tpd) 10,000 Average Magino ore grade milled (g/t Au) 0.91 Average recovery (%) 96.3% Operating Costs Open pit mining cost (C$/tonne of total material mined) $4.24 Underground mining cost (C$/tonne of ore mined) $124 Processing cost (C$/tonne of ore milled) $16.74 G&A cost (C$/tonne of ore milled) $13.73 Total cash cost – 12-year average, 2026+ (per ounce sold)1,2 $581 Total cash cost – life of mine (per ounce sold)1,2 $699 Mine-site all-in sustaining cost – 12-year average, 2026+ (per ounce sold)1,2 $915 Mine-site all-in sustaining cost – life of mine (per ounce sold)1,2 $1,003 Capital Costs (millions) Growth capital expenditure $453 Sustaining capital expenditure5 $1,808 Total capital expenditure – life of mine $2,261 Total capital expenditure (per ounce sold) – life of mine2 $380 Total all-in cost (per ounce sold) – life of mine2,3 $1,079 Base Case Economic Analysis: $2,400 per ounce Gold Price(USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1)4 NPV @ 0% discount rate (millions, after-tax) $6,417 NPV @ 5% discount rate (millions, after-tax) $4,477 Economic Analysis at $3,300 per ounce Gold Price(USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1) NPV @ 0% discount rate (millions, after-tax) $9,682 NPV @ 5% discount rate (millions, after-tax) $6,667 Total cash costs and mine-site all-in sustaining costs include royalties and silver as a by-product credit Please refer to the Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures Total all-in cost per ounce sold is calculated as total cash cost per ounce plus total capital per ounce sold over the life of mine The Base Case LOM Plan includes a gold price of $3,000/oz in 2025 through to 2027, and a long-term (2028+) gold price of $2,400/oz, as well as a USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.73:1 in 2025, $0.74:1 in 2026 and 2027, and $0.75:1 from 2028 onwards Sustaining capital includes reclamation and capital leases Prior Disclosure Regarding Island Gold Mine As a result of a review by staff of the Ontario Securities Commission, the Company is providing the following corrective information regarding its disclosure with respect to the Island Gold Mine. The 2025 Base Case Island Gold District Technical Report is being prepared and will be disclosed without the inclusion of Inferred Mineral Resources in economic analyses, including production schedules, mine life and cash flow models. The 2025 Base Case Island Gold District Technical Report will supersede any prior technical reports published by Alamos with respect to the Island Gold Mine. Prior public disclosure regarding the Island Gold Mine included the use of Inferred Mineral Resources in economic analyses, including production schedules, mine life and cash flow models. Such disclosure was prohibited under paragraph 2.3(1)(b) of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101), which restricts public disclosure of the results of an economic analysis that includes or is based on Inferred Mineral Resources. In addition, NI 43-101 incorporates by reference the CIM Definition Standards (2014), which states that Inferred Mineral Resources must not be included in the economic analysis, production schedules, or estimated mine life in publicly disclosed prefeasibility or feasibility studies, or in the life of mine plans and cash flow models of developed mines. Inferred Mineral Resources are considered too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves and there can be no certainty that the results of an economic analysis including Inferred Mineral Resources would be realized. Mineral Reserves and Resources An updated Proven and Probable Mineral Reserve totaling 88.6 mt, grading 2.23 g/t Au, containing 6.3 million ounces of gold has been included in the Base Case LOM Plan. This represents a 48% increase from the 4.3 million ounces reported at the end of 2024, reflecting the conversion of Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources at Island Gold and Magino. Only Mineral Reserves have been incorporated into the Base Case LOM plan and economic analysis. Island Gold's updated Mineral Reserve increased by 80% to 4.1 million ounces, driven by Mineral Resource conversion. An updated classification methodology has been adopted based on definition drilling, extensive historical and current production data, reconciliation, and underground mapping, which demonstrates that Indicated Mineral Resource continuity can be reliably established with an average drill spacing of 40 metres, versus 25 metres previously. This contributed to the conversion of a portion of the large Inferred Mineral Resource to Measured & Indicated Mineral Resources, which was subsequently converted to Mineral Reserves.

A significant portion of Mineral Resources at Island Gold, and Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources at Magino, are expected to be converted to Reserves and incorporated into the Expansion Study to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025. The decrease in Inferred Mineral Resources at Island Gold reflects the conversion to Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves. The Mineral Resource conversion rate to Reserves at Island Gold continues to average more than 90%. This high rate of conversion is expected to continue based on ongoing success with the delineation drilling program.

Both operations will utilize the centralized Magino mill for processing ore and the Magino tailings management facility for tailings storage. Underground ore from Island Gold is currently being processed through the Island Gold mill. During the third quarter of 2025, the Company expects to shut down the Island Gold mill and transition to processing both Island Gold and Magino ore through the Magino mill at a rate of approximately 11,200 tpd. The Phase 3+ Expansion of Island Gold is expected to double underground mining rates to 2,400 tpd through the addition of a shaft and paste plant. Following completion of the expansion in 2026, underground mining will transition from trucking ore and waste to skipping ore and waste to surface, through the new shaft infrastructure. This is expected to drive production higher and costs significantly lower. The Magino mill will be expanded to 12,400 tpd to accommodate the increased production rates from Island Gold of 2,400 tpd, with the remaining 10,000 tpd coming from the Magino open pit. The Phase 3+ Expansion is expected to be completed during the second half of 2026, a slight delay from initial guidance of the first half of 2026 in the Phase 3+ Study, though this is not expected to impact current production and cost guidance for the Island Gold District in 2026 and 2027. Base Case LOM Production and Mine-site AISC Profile Please refer to Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures For the purposes of calculating all-in sustaining costs at individual mine sites, the Company does not include corporate and administrative and corporate share-based compensation expenses Phase 3+ Expansion Significantly De-Risked The Phase 3+ Expansion of Island Gold underground has been significantly de-risked given the progress achieved to date, with details as follows: Shaft surface infrastructure is now substantially complete, including the headframe, hoist house and warehouse. The bin house has been erected and is currently being mechanically and electrically outfitted. The electrical infrastructure required for shaft development was completed in late 2023 Shaft development is down to a depth of 1,265 metres, 92% of the ultimate planned depth of 1,379 metres Construction of the paste plant is 71% complete, and is expected to be fully completed by the end of 2025 The 115kV powerline project is on track for completion by mid-2026. The power line will supply additional grid power sufficient to power the entire operation through lower cost power from the electric grid As a brownfield expansion of an existing operating mine, and with 76% of the growth capital spent or committed as of the end of May, the project is significantly de-risked. The shaft is expected to begin skipping ore from underground in the second half of 2026 Mining Island Gold underground Longitudinal long-hole open stoping will continue to be utilized as the primary mining method with the completion of the shaft and paste plant supporting the increase in mining rates to 2,400 tpd. Given the ongoing growth of the ore body, and as mining progresses deeper, a more geotechnically sound approach will be employed across the stope sequence with mining moving from the centre towards sill extremities (versus from the sill extremities towards the centre currently). The new approach will require increased underground development which will support an improved geotechnical mining sequence and a better managed stress environment, as well as potential increased mining rates of greater than 2,400 tpd as part of a longer-term expansion scenario. Magino open pit The Magino open pit will continue to be mined with a conventional shovel-truck methodology. Total mining rates of ore and waste are expected to average 66,400 tpd. Mining rates of ore are expected to average 14,100 tpd over the initial 14 years, with 10,000 tpd to be processed through the Magino mill, and the remaining lower grade ore to be stockpiled for processing at the end of the mine life. The waste to ore ratio mined over the life of mine is expected to average 3.7:1. Shaft The main components of the shaft infrastructure are unchanged from the Phase 3+ Study with the exception of the crushing facility, which will be installed underground rather than at surface. This change optimizes the flow of ore handling from underground to the mill and reduces the maintenance required for the hoisting system. A 5.0 metre diameter concrete lined shaft is being constructed with a steel head frame. The skip size has been increased from 12 tonnes in the Phase 3+ Study to 15 tonnes, which will increase the hoisting capacity to 5,500 tpd at the current planned depth of 1,379 metres. This has increased from 4,500 tpd in the Phase 3+ Study and is more than sufficient to accommodate peak mining rates of 4,300 tpd (ore & waste). The shaft will have dedicated compartments for ore and waste movement, and a double-deck service cage for the transport of personnel and materials. The hoisting plant is designed for an ultimate depth of 2,000 metres providing flexibility to accommodate future exploration success. The underground ore and waste handling and loading pocket will be a conventional configuration similar to that at Young-Davidson. Once skipped to surface, crushed ore will be trucked to the expanded Magino mill. Paste plant As outlined in the Phase 3+ Study, a paste plant and underground paste distribution system is being constructed. This will allow for faster stope cycling, thereby supporting higher underground mining rates and providing increased geotechnical stability. It will also increase mining recovery resulting in an additional 140,000 ounces of gold recovered over the life of mine. Further, 65% of tailings will be placed underground reducing tailings dam raise requirements over the mine life. Mobile fleet – Island Gold Underground mining rates are expected to ramp up from current rates of 1,200 to 1,400 tpd by the end of 2025. Mining rates are expected to further increase to design rates of 2,400 tpd by the end of 2026, driven by the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion. This will be supported by a significantly smaller truck fleet than required under the current ramp operation. Post completion of the shaft, a total of seven haul trucks will be required to support a mining rate of 2,400 tpd, compared to a peak of 20 haul trucks required to sustain ramp haulage at 1,200 tpd. This will contribute to the lower ventilation requirements, significantly lower diesel usage, and lower costs given the productivity improvements and economies of scale. Mobile fleet – Magino The fleet at Magino consists of 15 haul trucks with a payload capacity of 139 tonnes, combined with three diesel powered hydraulic shovels and one excavator, supported by three front-end loaders. The current mobile fleet can support peak mining rates of 74,000 tpd of ore and waste. Decreasing GHG emission intensity The completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion is expected to reduce the Island Gold District GHG emissions intensity from already low levels. In 2024, the Island Gold District emission intensity was 57% lower than the industry average. The transition to a shaft operation from hauling ore to surface, and fully connecting the Magino mill to the electric grid, is expected to drive a further 29% decrease in GHG emissions per ounce produced. This will represent an emission intensity 70% lower than the industry average. Source: S&P Global – Primary Gold GHG Emissions Intensities Decline – December 10, 2024 Processing and Infrastructure The Base Case LOM Plan reflects the use of the larger centralized mill and tailings facility at Magino. With ore from Island Gold underground to be processed at lower operating costs through the larger Magino mill starting in 2025, the current Island Gold mill and tailings facility will no longer be required. Current Magino Mill Design The Magino mill includes a crushing circuit that consists of a primary jaw crusher and a secondary cone crusher followed by a semi-autogenous (SAG) mill and ball mill. A cyclone separates the feed sending it to either a gravity circuit where course gold is removed or pumped to the leach circuit where it is thickened and oxygen, lime and cyanide are added for cyanidation. The carbon-in-pulp (CIP) circuit recovers the dissolved gold from the leached slurry. The gravity concentrate is processed via an intensive leach reactor. Loaded carbon is acid washed and then undergoes carbon stripping to recover the gold through electrowinning and smelting with the final product being gold doré. Two successful batch tests of Island Gold ore through the Magino mill were completed in the third quarter of 2024 and April 2025. In both instances, Island Gold ore was blended with Magino ore and processed through the Magino mill with recoveries in line with expectations. With the successful batch tests, and the Magino mill continuing to ramp up towards 11,200 tpd, the Company expects to transition to processing Island Gold ore through the Magino mill in the third quarter of 2025. The mill feed is based on a 9:1 blend ratio of Magino and Island Gold ore at a combined throughput of 11,200 tpd. Island Gold ore feed will start at 1,200 tpd, increasing to 1,400 tpd by the end of 2025. Magino ore feed will fluctuate between 9,200 tpd and 10,000 tpd. The overall gold recovery from the blend is expected to be approximately 96%. Expansion to 12,400 tpd To accommodate the increased underground mining rates from Island Gold of 2,400 tpd following completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion in 2026, a number of improvements will be implemented to support increased milling rates within the Magino mill of 12,400 tpd. Many of the changes are being designed and sized to accommodate a potential further expansion of the mill to between 18,000 and 20,000 tpd. The key additions include: New underground crusher at Island Gold. Ore will be crushed underground and then trucked to the Magino mill minimizing crushing requirements within the mill Pebble crusher and auxiliary mill are expected to be added to the Magino grinding circuit to grind material from the SAG mill and ball mill, respectively New gold recovery plant will be added to support increased gold production and will include pre-oxidation, leaching carbon-in-leach, elution, electrowinning and smelting The new mill building is being designed to allow space for the addition of a second SAG and ball mill to the overall circuit to support a potential further expansion of the mill up to 20,000 tpd CIP tanks within the plant are being sized to accommodate up to a 20,000 tpd processing rate The foundation is being sized to hold four additional leach tanks in support of expanding to 12,400 tpd as well as more tanks for a potential larger expansion of up to 20,000 tpd The new gold room is being designed to support a potential expansion up to 20,000 tpd Ore from Island Gold underground will be hauled to the Magino mill on the recently completed 6.5 kilometre road connecting the shaft area to the Magino mill. The ore feed blend will include 2,400 tpd of underground ore and 10,000 tpd of open pit ore with overall recoveries from the expanded circuit expected to average 96.3%. The expansion of the Magino mill is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2026 to coincide with the completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold. Tailings The existing TMF at Magino will be utilized, with the Base Case LOM Plan requiring 81 mt of capacity. Under the Base Case plan, the TMF will be expanded in multiple stages using lifts. With a permitted capacity of 150 Mt under the Federal EIS, the Magino TMF is expected to have more than sufficient capacity to accommodate the Base Case LOM plan, as well as the Mineral Resource conversion that is expected to be incorporated a larger expansion of up to 20,000 tpd. Operating Costs Total cash costs are expected to average $699 per ounce and mine-site AISC $1,003 per ounce over the mine life. Post completion of the Phase 3+ Expansion (2026+) and over the initial 12 years that Island Gold underground is operating at 2,400 tpd, total cash costs are expected to average $581 per ounce and mine-site AISC averaging $915 per ounce. This represents a 23% and 19% decrease, respectively, from the mid-point of 2025 guidance reflecting the significant productivity improvements, increased automation, and higher throughput rates with a shaft-hoisting operation, as well as lower processing costs for Island Gold underground ore. Additionally, the Magino mill will benefit from lower-cost grid power following the completion of the 115kV power line project in 2026. Over the life of mine, open pit mining costs are expected to average C$4.24 per tonne of material mined, and underground mining costs C$124 per tonne mined. The shaft will allow for unit underground mining costs to remain relatively stable as mining moves deeper compared to truck haulage where costs would continue to increase with depth. This will help ensure Island Gold remains one of the lowest cost mines in the world over the long-term. Milling costs are expected to average C$16.74 per tonne, with Island Gold underground ore to be processed at lower costs using the Magino mill. Connecting the Magino mill to grid power in 2026 is expected to reduce long-term processing costs by approximately C$5 per tonne. This reduction in costs has been included in the current Base Case LOM Plan. The breakdown of unit costs is summarized as follows. (in C$/tonne) Base Case LOM1as of Jan 1 2025 Open Pit Mining (ore + waste) $4.24 Underground Mining (ore) $124 Milling (ore) $16.74 Admin (ore) $13.73 Total Cash Cost (US$/oz)2- Average LOM $699 - 12-year average, 2026+ $581 Mine-site All-in Sustaining Costs (US$/oz)2- Average LOM $1,003 - 12-year average, 2026+ $915 The Base Case LOM Plan includes a gold price of $3,000/oz in 2025 through to 2027, and a long-term (2028+) gold price of $2,400/oz, as well as a USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.73:1 in 2025, $0.74:1 in 2026 and 2027, and $0.75:1 from 2028 onwards Please refer to Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures Royalty Production from both Island Gold and Magino are subject to third party net smelter return ('NSR') royalties. At Island Gold, the total effective NSR royalty averages approximately 2.5% over the life of mine, based on ounces produced, with approximately 90% of this royalty paid in-kind (as ounces). Magino is subject to a total effective NSR royalty averaging approximately 3.8% over the mine life based on ounces produced, with 3.0% paid in-kind (as ounces). The accounting treatment requires that in-kind royalties be recorded at production cost which lowers royalty expense, with an offsetting reduction in revenue given in-kind ounces transferred to royalty holders do not meet the definition of sales. As a result, the average NSR included in the LOM for Island Gold is approximately 0.8% of revenue over the life of mine, and 2.2% of revenue for Magino over the life of mine. There is no net impact on gross margin from the accounting for in-kind NSR royalties compared to cash-paid NSR royalties given the lower royalty expense is offset by a reduction in ounces sold. Capital Costs Total growth capital is estimated at $453 million (as of January 1, 2025), with the majority to be spent over the next two years. Growth capital is focused on completing the Phase 3+ Expansion and the Magino mill expansion to 12,400 tpd. As of the end of 2024, $486 million had been spent on the Phase 3+ Expansion. Remaining growth capital on the Phase 3+ Expansion is expected to total $349 million bringing total expected capital for the expansion to $835 million. This represents a 5% increase from the updated total growth capital estimate of $796 million provided in September 2024. The increase reflects ongoing labour inflation, as well as the use of a contractor to support off shaft development, and construction activities related to the ore and waste handling system for a total increase of approximately $39 million. The addition of a pebble crusher and auxiliary mill to the Magino mill to support 12,400 tpd represents a potential scope change at an additional cost of approximately $40 million. These component changes will be re-evaluated over the next several months to assess if they will be required as part of a potential larger expansion of up to 20,000 tpd. This evaluation process will be completed before finalizing a decision and committing capital. The other key difference between Island Gold District remaining growth capital and the Phase 3+ Expansion is the addition of a truck shop at Magino at a cost of $28 million. This will support improved maintenance practices of the open pit mobile fleet and increased utilization rates. The construction of a truck shop had been deferred by the previous owner. Island Gold District: Growth Capital(in US$ millions) Base Case LOM1as of Jan 1 2025 Remaining Phase 3+ Expansion Capital $349 Magino Mill - Pebble Crusher & Auxiliary mill $40 Magino Open Pit Truck Shop $28 Other $36 Total Growth Capital ($ million) $453 Total Growth Capital per ounce sold (US$/oz)2 $76 The Base Case LOM Plan includes a gold price of $3,000/oz in 2025 through to 2027, and a long-term (2028+) gold price of $2,400/oz, as well as a USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.73:1 in 2025, $0.74:1 in 2026 and 2027, and $0.75:1 from 2028 onwards Please refer to the Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures Sustaining capital is expected to total $1,808 million over the life of mine, including reclamation costs and capital leases. The key increases relative to the Phase 3+ Study reflect the addition of the Magino operation, as well as increased underground development at Island Gold. As noted above, increased development will support a better managed stress environment as the ore body continues to grow and mining extends deeper, while also allowing for higher mining rates beyond 2,400 tpd, which is being reviewed as part of the Expansion Study. Sustaining capital per ounce is expected to decrease within the Expansion Study reflecting the potential inclusion of a larger Mineral Reserve, through ongoing Resource conversion, which will leverage infrastructure being constructed to support the Base Case operation.

Including operating costs and total capital, the all-in cost is expected to total $1,079 per ounce sold over the life of mine. A breakdown of the capital requirements for the Base Case Life of Mine Plan is detailed as follows. Island Gold District: Total Capital(in US$ millions) Base Case LOM1as of Jan 1 2025 Growth capital $453 Sustaining capital $1,808 Total Capital $2,261 Total Capital per ounce sold (US$/oz)2 $380 The Base Case LOM Plan includes a gold price of $3,000/oz in 2025 through to 2027, and a long-term (2028+) gold price of $2,400/oz, as well as a USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.73:1 in 2025, $0.74:1 in 2026 and 2027, and $0.75:1 from 2028 onwards Please refer to the Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures Taxes At current gold prices of approximately $3,300 per ounce and taking into account existing income tax pools of approximately C$2 billion, the Island Gold District is not expected to pay any significant taxes until 2026. At a long-term gold price of $2,400 and USD/CAD foreign exchange rate of $0.75:1, the Island Gold District is expected to pay approximately $2.2 billion in federal and provincial income taxes and Ontario mining taxes over the life of the mine. The effective tax rate is expected to average approximately 25% reflecting the use of the substantial tax pools. Permitting The Island Gold District has all the key permits in place for the current operation, with normal course permits required for further expansions of the operation. The Closure Plan Amendment ('CPA') for the Island Gold mine was received in March 2022 allowing for the ramp up of construction activities for the original Phase III expansion to 2,000 tpd. In December 2023, another CPA was approved that incorporated scope changes in the Phase 3+ Expansion to operate at 2,400 tpd. The CPA for the Magino mine was approved in September 2024. Under the approved Federal Environmental Impact Statement ('EIS'), the Magino mill is permitted to operate at a processing rate of 35,000 tpd, well above the current rates. The TMF at Magino is permitted under the Federal EIS to contain up to 150 mt of material. This is more than sufficient tailings capacity for the Base Case LOM Plan as well as the expected larger Mineral Reserve to be incorporated in the Expansion Study. For the expansion to 12,400 tpd, there are a number of normal course provincial permits that will be required including an amendment to the Environmental Compliance Approval ('ECA'). The ECA will also need to be amended for any potential further expansion up to 20,000 tpd as will the CPA. These are permit amendments that have been approved multiple times previously. All permitting activities fall within a well known jurisdiction where Alamos has successfully operated for years, achieving various permitting milestones at both of its Young-Davidson and Island Gold mines. Upside to Base Case LOM Plan:The Base Case LOM Plan is based only on Mineral Reserves and long-term milling rates of 12,400 tpd. The Expansion Study to be released in the fourth quarter of 2025 is expected to demonstrate attractive economics and significant upside to the Base Case with the key drivers as follows: Potential mill expansion to between 18,000 and 20,000 tpd Increased mining rates and processing rates at both Island Gold underground and Magino open pit Conversion and incorporation of a significant portion of the large Mineral Resource base through ongoing delineation drilling. Current Mineral Resources consist of: Island Gold Underground M&I Mineral Resources: 1.0M oz grading 10.49 g/t Au (3.1Mt) Inferred Mineral Resources: 1.3M oz grading 16.88 g/t Au (2.4Mt) Magino Open Pit M&I Mineral Resources: 1.8M oz grading 0.91 g/t Au (60.3Mt) Inferred Mineral Resources: 1.2M oz grading 0.92 g/t Au (40.3Mt) Key elements of a larger expansion have been de-risked, including: Magino mill federally permitted to operate at 35,000 tpd Magino tailings management facility ('TMF') permitted to accommodate a total of 150 mt Components of the Base Case expansion to 12,400 tpd are being designed or sized to accommodate a potential further expansion up to 20,000 tpd Island Gold shaft is designed to a hoisting capacity of 5,500 tpd at the current planned depth, well above current requirements in the Base Case LOM Plan Underground ore and waste handling system at Island Gold can support well in excess of 2,400 tpd The 115kV powerline project will provide additional capacity sufficient to supply all power needs from the electric grid for an expanded operation Large and growing Mineral Reserve and Resource base can support a larger expansionThe Island Gold District remains highly prospective, with significant exploration upside that can support further potential growth over the longer term, including: Island Gold underground: high-grade mineralization remains open laterally and at depth, with increasing grades and ounces per vertical metre at depth Magino open pit: potential for expansion of near surface mineralization to the southwest of the Mineral Resource pit with additional drilling. There is also potential to expand gold mineralization below the southwestern extent of the Mineral Resource pit, where drilling to date has been shallower relative to the northeast Regional targets: the Island Gold District is comprised of a large, underexplored 60,000 hectare land package in the Michipicoten Greenstone Belt. This includes the high-grade past producing Cline, Edwards, and Kremzar mines, as well as a number of highly prospective targets in proximity to the Magino mill (including the North Shear, Pick, and 88-60 targets). These targets, and a pipeline of other targets at various stages, represent potential opportunities for additional higher-grade mill feed within a larger mill expansion to supplement ore from Island Gold and Magino Technical Disclosure Chris Bostwick, FAusIMM, Alamos Gold's Senior Vice President, Technical Services, has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this news release.

Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics and economic potential to be classed as a category of Mineral Resource. A Mineral Resource that is classified as "Inferred" or "Indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "Indicated Mineral Resource" or "Inferred Mineral Resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of Mineral Resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. The Company cautions that forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon several factors and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management at the time of making such statements, are inherently subject to significant business, economic, technical, legal, political, and competitive uncertainties, and contingencies. Known and unknown factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements and information. Such factors include (without limitation): the actual results of current and future exploration activities; changes to current estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources; conclusions of economic and geological evaluations; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development; risks in obtaining and maintaining necessary licenses, permits and authorizations for the Company's development stage and operating assets; operations may be exposed to new illnesses, diseases, epidemics and/or pandemics which may have impacts on the broader market and the trading price of the Company's shares and may affect many aspects of the Company's operations including the ability to transport personnel to and from site, contractor and supply availability and the ability to sell or deliver gold doré bars; changes in national and local government legislation, controls or regulations; failure to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations; labour and contractor availability (and being able to secure the same on favourable terms); disruptions in the maintenance or provision of required infrastructure and information technology systems; fluctuations in the price of gold or certain other commodities such as, diesel fuel, natural gas, and electricity; operating or technical difficulties in connection with mining or development activities, including geotechnical challenges and changes to production estimates (which assume accuracy of projected ore grade, mining rates, recovery timing and recovery rate estimates and may be impacted by unscheduled maintenance, weather issues, labour and contractor availability and other operating or technical difficulties); changes in foreign exchange rates (particularly the Canadian dollar, U.S. dollar, Mexican peso and Turkish Lira); the impact of inflation; any tariffs, trade barriers, and/or regulatory costs; employee and community relations; the impact of litigation and administrative proceedings; disruptions affecting operations; risks associated with the start-up of new mines; availability of and increased costs associated with mining inputs and labour; delays in the Phase 3+ Expansion at Island Gold; delays in construction of the 115kVpowerline; changes with respect to the intended method of mining and processing ore from the Island Gold District; inherent risks and hazards associated with mining and mineral processing including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures and cave-ins; the risk that the Company's mines may not perform as planned; uncertainty with the Company's ability to secure additional capital to execute its business plans; contests over title to properties; expropriation or nationalization of property; political or economic developments in Canada, Mexico, the United States, Türkiye and other jurisdictions in which the Company may carry on business in the future; increased costs and risks related to the potential impact of climate change; the costs and timing of exploration, construction and development of new deposits; risk of loss due to sabotage, protests and other civil disturbances; the impact of global liquidity and credit availability and the values of assets and liabilities based on projected future cash flows; risks arising from holding derivative instruments; and business opportunities that may be pursued by the Company. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other risk factors that may affect the Company's ability to achieve the expectations set forth in the forward-looking statements contained in this news release, see the Company's latest 40-F/Annual Information Form and Management's Discussion and Analysis, each under the heading 'Risk Factors' available on the SEDAR+ website at or on EDGAR at The foregoing should be reviewed in conjunction with the information, risk factors and assumptions found in this news release. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors Alamos prepares its disclosure in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada. Unless otherwise indicated, all Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates included in this document have been prepared in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101') and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the 'CIM') - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the 'CIM Standards'). NI 43-101 is a rule developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators, which established standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. Mining disclosure in the United States was previously required to comply with SEC Industry Guide 7 ('SEC Industry Guide 7') under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') has adopted final rules, to replace SEC Industry Guide 7 with new mining disclosure rules under sub-part 1300 of Regulation S-K of the U.S. Securities Act ('Regulation S-K 1300') which became mandatory for U.S. reporting companies beginning with the first fiscal year commencing on or after January 1, 2021. Under Regulation S-K 1300, the SEC now recognizes estimates of 'Measured Mineral Resources', 'Indicated Mineral Resources' and 'Inferred Mineral Resources'. In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of 'Proven Mineral Reserves' and 'Probable Mineral Reserves' to be substantially similar to international standards. Investors are cautioned that while the above terms are 'substantially similar' to CIM Definitions, there are differences in the definitions under Regulation S-K 1300 and the CIM Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance any mineral reserves or mineral resources that the Company may report as 'proven mineral reserves', 'probable mineral reserves', 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources' under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the mineral reserve or mineral resource estimates under the standards adopted under Regulation S-K 1300. U.S. investors are also cautioned that while the SEC recognizes 'measured mineral resources', 'indicated mineral resources' and 'inferred mineral resources' under Regulation S-K 1300, investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of mineral resources or into mineral reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater degree of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, investors are cautioned not to assume that any measured mineral resources, indicated mineral resources, or inferred mineral resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally mineable. Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures Note that for purposes of this section, GAAP refers to IFRS. The Company believes that investors use certain non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures as indicators to assess gold mining companies. They are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared with GAAP. 'Cash flow from operating activities before changes in non-cash working capital' is a non-GAAP performance measure that could provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from operations and is calculated by adding back the change in non-cash working capital to 'cash provided by (used in) operating activities' as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. 'Cash flow per share' is calculated by dividing 'cash flow from operations before changes in working capital' by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. 'Free cash flow' is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated as cash flows from operations net of cash flows invested in mineral property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation assets as presented on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows and that would provide an indication of the Company's ability to generate cash flows from its mineral projects. 'Mine site free cash flow' is a non-GAAP measure which includes cash flow from operating activities at, less capital expenditures at each mine site. 'Return on equity' is defined as earnings from continuing operations divided by the average total equity for the current and previous year. 'Mining cost per tonne of ore' and 'cost per tonne of ore' are non-GAAP performance measures that could provide an indication of the mining and processing efficiency and effectiveness of the mine. These measures are calculated by dividing the relevant mining and processing costs and total costs by the tonnes of ore processed in the period. 'Cost per tonne of ore' is usually affected by operating efficiencies and waste-to-ore ratios in the period. 'Total capital expenditures per ounce produced' is a non-GAAP term used to assess the level of capital intensity of a project and is calculated by taking the total growth and sustaining capital of a project divided by ounces produced life of mine. 'Growth capital' are expenditures primarily incurred at development projects and costs related to major projects at existing operations, where the projects will materially benefit the mine site. 'Sustaining capital' are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company's development projects. 'Total cash costs per ounce', 'all-in sustaining costs per ounce', 'mine-site all-in sustaining costs', and 'all-in costs per ounce' as used in this analysis are non-GAAP terms typically used by gold mining companies to assess the level of gross margin available to the Company by subtracting these costs from the unit price realized during the period. These non-GAAP terms are also used to assess the ability of a mining company to generate cash flow from operations. There may be some variation in the method of computation of these metrics as determined by the Company compared with other mining companies. In this context, 'total cash costs' reflects mining and processing costs allocated from in-process and doré inventory and associated royalties with ounces of gold sold in the period. Total cash costs per ounce are exclusive of exploration costs. 'All-in sustaining costs per ounce' include total cash costs, exploration, corporate and administrative, share based compensation and sustaining capital costs. 'Mine-site all-in sustaining costs' include total cash costs, exploration, and sustaining capital costs for the mine-site, but exclude an allocation of corporate and administrative and share based compensation. 'Capitalized exploration' are expenditures that meet the IFRS definition for capitalization and are incurred to further expand the known Mineral Reserve and Resource at existing operations or development projects. 'Adjusted net earnings' and 'adjusted earnings per share' are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS. 'Adjusted net earnings' and 'adjusted earnings per share' are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS. 'Adjusted net earnings' excludes the following from net earnings: foreign exchange gain (loss), items included in other loss, certain non-reoccurring items, and foreign exchange gain (loss) recorded in deferred tax expense. 'Adjusted earnings per share' is calculated by dividing 'adjusted net earnings' by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Additional GAAP measures that are presented on the face of the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income and are not meant to be a substitute for other subtotals or totals presented in accordance with IFRS, but rather should be evaluated in conjunction with such IFRS measures. This includes 'Earnings from operations', which is intended to provide an indication of the Company's operating performance and represents the amount of earnings before net finance income/expense, foreign exchange gain/loss, other income/loss, and income tax expense. Non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation of historical non-GAAP and additional GAAP measures are detailed in the Company's latest Management's Discussion and Analysis available online on the SEDAR+ website at or on EDGAR at and at Table 1: Base Case Life of Mine Plan – Detailed Summary LOM avg 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 2030 2031 2032 2033 2034 2035 2036 2037 2038 2039 2040 2041 2042 2043 2044 Underground ore mined (tpd) 2,148 1,319 1,914 2,405 2,399 2,400 2,400 2,400 2,399 2,400 2,400 2,400 2,353 2,304 1,713 1,018 - - - - - Open pit ore mined (tpd) 13,238 14,545 23,437 21,030 15,462 17,227 14,697 2,577 4,233 10,234 14,893 20,253 16,209 7,307 15,347 1,112 - - - - - Open pit total tonnes mined(tpd) 62,152 56,891 64,635 72,337 73,566 73,767 73,767 66,344 67,826 63,932 63,932 63,932 63,757 61,238 63,932 2,428 - - - - - Underground ore processed (tpd) 2,149 1,332 1,914 2,405 2,399 2,400 2,400 2,400 2,399 2,400 2,400 2,400 2,353 2,304 1,713 1,021 - - - - - Open pit ore processed (tpd) 10,523 9,106 9,286 9,995 10,001 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,001 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,047 10,096 10,687 11,379 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 10,270 Total ore processed (tpd) 12,135 10,437 11,200 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 12,400 10,270 Underground grade processed (g/t Au) 10.85 11.69 10.85 10.69 12.41 12.88 12.54 10.97 12.24 12.69 11.09 9.76 8.14 8.25 7.41 9.66 - - - - - Open pit grade processed (g/t Au) 0.91 0.95 1.08 0.96 1.14 1.00 1.24 0.70 0.72 1.01 1.25 1.23 1.20 0.83 0.91 0.70 0.69 0.69 0.69 0.69 0.69 Processed grade - combined (g/t Au) 2.23 2.32 2.75 2.85 3.32 3.30 3.43 2.69 2.95 3.27 3.16 2.88 2.51 2.21 1.81 1.44 0.69 0.69 0.69 0.69 0.69 Gold production (oz) 305,594 275,543 346,845 395,237 470,515 465,891 484,729 378,076 417,249 462,468 445,407 405,498 353,437 308,278 251,656 198,996 93,373 93,118 93,118 93,118 79,332 Gold sales (oz)1 297,739 264,935 338,814 385,348 459,343 455,847 472,938 368,765 406,887 450,538 434,523 395,788 344,790 300,564 244,949 194,186 90,572 90,324 90,324 90,324 75,012 Operating costs Underground mining costs (C$/tonne) $124 $166 $133 $116 $117 $116 $117 $119 $122 $122 $122 $124 $128 $134 $137 $85 - - - - - Open pit mining costs (C$/tonne) $4.24 $5.84 $3.98 $3.72 $3.91 $3.86 $3.91 $4.13 $3.93 $4.16 $4.31 $4.40 $4.38 $3.93 $4.02 $38.99 - - - - - Unit milling costs (C$/tonne) $16.74 $24.66 $20.70 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.96 $16.91 $16.86 $16.25 $15.55 $14.50 $14.50 $14.50 $14.50 $14.50 Unit G&A costs (C$/tonne) $13.73 $20.25 $14.47 $13.84 $13.79 $13.61 $13.89 $13.20 $13.70 $14.15 $14.11 $15.41 $16.07 $17.64 $17.66 $14.14 $11.96 $10.95 $9.31 $7.61 $9.09 Total cash costs(US$/oz)2 $699 $886 $626 $523 $469 $516 $451 $624 $586 $582 $568 $587 $698 $888 $966 $999 $1,696 $1,649 $1,584 $1,520 $1,590 Mine-site AISC (US$/oz)2,3 $1,003 $1,247 $1,006 $933 $842 $814 $773 $1,116 $990 $850 $871 $875 $941 $1,117 $1,098 $1,114 $1,742 $1,724 $1,649 $1,551 $1,950 Capital expenditures LOMtotal Sustaining capex (US$M) $1,761 $79 $117 $150 $169 $135 $152 $181 $163 $120 $130 $113 $83 $68 $32 $22 $4 $7 $6 $3 $27 Sustaining capital leases (US$M) $46 $17 $12 $8 $2 $1 $1 $1 $1 $1 $2 $1 $1 $0 $0 $0 $0 - - - - Growth capex (US$M) $453 $302 $139 $12 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Total capex (US$M) $2,261 $398 $268 $170 $171 $136 $152 $181 $164 $121 $132 $114 $84 $69 $32 $22 $4 $7 $6 $3 $27 1 Gold sales are lower than gold production reflecting the delivery of in-kind royalties on Island Gold and Magino2 Please refer to Cautionary Notes on non-GAAP Measures and Additional GAAP Measures3 For the purposes of calculating mine-site all-in sustaining costs, the Company does not include an allocation of corporate and administrative expense and corporate share-based compensation expense Figure 1: Island Gold District Map Figure 2: Island Gold District – Long SectionPhotos accompanying this announcement are available at in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
