BASIS OF PRESENTATION The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Corporation have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) unless otherwise noted and are the basis for the figures presented in this news release, unless otherwise noted. NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES Net earnings from continuing operations attributable to participating shareholders are comprised of: Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations (adjusted net earnings) attributable to participating shareholders; and Adjustments, which include the after-tax impact of any item that in management's judgment, including those identified by management of Lifeco and IGM, would make the period-over-period comparison of results from operations less meaningful. Includes the Corporation's share of Lifeco's impact of market-related impacts, where actual market returns in the current period are different than longer-term expected returns; assumption changes and management actions that impact the measurement of assets and liabilities; direct equity and interest rate impacts on the measurement of surplus assets and liabilities; and amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets, as well as items that management believes are not indicative of the underlying business results which include those identified by management of a subsidiary or a jointly controlled corporation, including: business transformation impacts (including restructuring or reorganization and integration costs, acquisition and divestiture costs); material legal settlements; material impairment charges; material impacts of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities including those as a result of income tax rate changes, and other tax impairments; certain non-recurring material items, net gains, losses or costs related to the disposition or acquisition of a business, including those related to an investment in an associate or jointly controlled corporation; impacts related to remeasurements due to market changes that result in an accounting mismatch including the remeasurement of derivatives where the hedged item is not also measured at fair value and hedge accounting is not applied, and the revaluation of redemption liabilities, share warrants and conversion options on convertible and exchangeable debt obligations; the impact of the revaluation of non-controlling interests liabilities related to PSEIP which result from changes in fair value of assets held within the fund, and the share of earnings (losses) from the consolidated activities of PSEIP attributable to third-party investors; and other items that, when removed, assist in explaining underlying operating performance. Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations (or adjusted net earnings) represents net earnings from continuing operations excluding Adjustments. In 2024, the Corporation modified the definition of adjusted net earnings, a non-IFRS earnings measure, to better reflect the underlying performance of the Corporation. Effective the fourth quarter of 2024, the definition of Adjustments was modified to include the impacts from applying the definition of Adjustments to the net earnings disclosed by GBL, the results of the Corporation's investing activities and the standalone businesses. The definition was also expanded to include impacts related to remeasurements due to market changes that result in an accounting mismatch. The comparative periods have been restated to conform with the current definition. Management uses these financial measures in its presentation and analysis of the financial performance of Power Corporation, and believes that they provide additional meaningful information to readers in their analysis of the results of the Corporation. Adjusted net earnings, as defined by the Corporation, assists the reader in the comparison of the current period's results to those of previous periods as it reflects management's view of the operating performance of the Corporation and its subsidiaries, excluding items that are not considered to be part of the underlying business results. Fee-related earnings is presented for Sagard and Power Sustainable and includes management fees and fee-related performance revenues earned across all asset classes, less investment platform expenses which include i) fee-related compensation including salary, bonus, and benefits, and ii) operating expenses. Fee-related performance revenues represents the realized portion of performance revenues from perpetual capital vehicles that are i) measured and expected to be received on a recurring basis, ii) not dependent on realization events from underlying investments, and iii) not subject to clawback. Fee-related earnings is presented on a gross pre-tax basis, including non-controlling interests. Fee-related earnings excludes i) share-based compensation expenses, ii) amortization of acquisition-related finite life intangible assets, iii) foreign exchange-related gains and losses, iv) net interest, and v) other items that in management's judgment are not indicative of underlying operating performance of the alternative asset investment platforms, which include restructuring costs, transaction and integration costs related to business acquisitions and certain non-recurring material items. Management uses this measure to assess the profitability of the asset management activities of the alternative asset investment platforms. This financial measure provides insight as to whether recurring revenues from management fees and fee-related performance revenues, which are not based on future realization events, are sufficient to cover associated operating expenses. Adjusted net asset value is commonly used by holding companies to assess their value. Adjusted net asset value represents the fair value of the participating shareholders' equity of Power Corporation. Adjusted net asset value is calculated as the fair value of the assets of the combined Power Corporation and Power Financial holding company less their net debt and preferred shares. The investments held in public entities (including Lifeco, IGM and GBL) are measured at their market value and investments in private entities and investment funds are measured at management's estimate of fair value. The definition of adjusted net asset value involves a number of assumptions, judgments and estimates that may prove to be inaccurate, and the adjusted net asset value per share is not a representation or guarantee of the value a participating shareholder will be able to realize. This measure presents the fair value of the participating shareholders' equity of the holding company, and assists the reader in determining or comparing the fair value of investments held by the holding company or its overall fair value. Adjusted net earnings attributable to participating shareholders, fee-related earnings, adjusted net asset value, gross asset value, adjusted net earnings from continuing operations per share (adjusted net earnings per share) and adjusted net asset value per share are non-IFRS financial measures and ratios that do not have a standard meaning and may not be comparable to similar measures used by other entities. Presentation of Holding Company Activities The Corporation's reportable segments include Lifeco, IGM and GBL, which represent the Corporation's investments in publicly traded operating companies, as well as the holding company. These reportable segments, in addition to the asset management activities, reflect Power Corporation's management structure and internal financial reporting. The Corporation evaluates its performance based on the operating segment's contribution to earnings. The holding company comprises the corporate activities of the Corporation and Power Financial, on a combined basis, and presents the investment activities of the Corporation. The investment activities of the holding company, including the investments in Lifeco, IGM and controlled entities within the alternative asset investment platforms, are presented using the equity method. The holding company activities present the holding company's assets and liabilities, including cash, investments, debentures and non-participating shares. The discussions included in the sections Financial Position and Cash Flows of the Corporation's most recent MD&A present the segmented balance sheets and cash flow statements of the holding company, which are presented in Note 20 of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. This presentation is useful to the reader as it presents the holding company's (parent) results separately from the results of its consolidated operating subsidiaries.

Adjusted net asset value Adjusted net asset value represents management's estimate of the fair value of the participating shareholders' equity of the Corporation. Adjusted net asset value is calculated as the fair value of the assets of the combined Power Corporation and Power Financial holding company less their net debt and preferred shares.

Amerigo Announces Q2-2025 Results & Quarterly Dividend
Q2-2025 Net Income of $7.5 million Robust EBITDA1 of $17.8 million and Free Cash Flow to Equity1 of $6.5 million 16th Consecutive Quarterly Dividend of Cdn$0.03 Declared $7.6 million Returned through Dividends and Share Buybacks in Q2-2025 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amerigo Resources Ltd. (TSX: ARG; OTCQX: ARREF) ('Amerigo' or the 'Company') is pleased to announce a strong financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2025 ('Q2-2025'). Dollar amounts in this news release are in U.S. dollars unless indicated otherwise. Amerigo's Q2-2025 financial results included net income of $7.5 million, earnings per share ('EPS') of $0.05, EBITDA1 of $17.8 million, operating cash flow from operations before changes in non-cash working capital1 of $11.9 million and free cash flow to equity1 of $6.5 million. In Q2-2025, Amerigo returned $3.5 million to shareholders through its quarterly dividend of Cdn$0.03 per share and $4.0 million from the purchase and cancellation of 3.1 million common shares through a Normal Course Issuer Bid ('NCIB'). 'We are pleased to report strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025. Our operation, Minera Valle Central ('MVC'), once again met its production, cash cost1 and safety targets. Building upon those achievements, Amerigo is on track to meet annual guidance and be debt-free by year-end,' said Aurora Davidson, Amerigo's President and CEO. 'On the back of MVC's stellar operational performance and rising copper prices, Amerigo continues to rapidly return capital to shareholders under the Company's well-established Capital Return Strategy. In Q2-2025 alone, Amerigo bought and cancelled 3.1 million shares under its Normal Course Issuer Bid and paid its fifteenth consecutive quarterly dividend. In the first half of the year, the Company's free cash flow to equity1 was $11.3 million, and $12.1 million was returned to shareholders,' she added. 'We continue to expect strong, long-term copper demand around the world. Supportive fundamentals remain in place, despite trade tensions and the tariff-induced short-term logistical repositioning of significant copper cathode stocks to the United States. This repositioning has created a historical price arbitrage between the Comex and LME markets, which we believe will be resolved over time, albeit with continued upward pressure on copper prices. 1 This is a non-IFRS measure. See 'Non-IFRS Measures' for further information. In this macro setting, we believe that Amerigo's unique business model, which produces copper without a mine and avoids traditional mining and exploration risks, will continue to shine. With minimal debt and a significant, consistent return of capital to shareholders, Amerigo provides a clean and unencumbered exposure to the rising copper prices that we expect will continue,' Ms. Davidson added. On July 28, 2025, Amerigo's Board of Directors declared its sixteenth consecutive quarterly dividend. The dividend will be in the amount of Cdn$0.03 per share, payable on September 19, 2025, to shareholders of record as of August 29, 20253. Amerigo designates the entire amount of this taxable dividend to be an 'eligible dividend' for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada), as amended from time to time. Based on Amerigo's June 30, 2025, share closing price of Cdn$2.17, the Cdn$0.03 quarterly dividend declared on July 28, 2025, represents an annual dividend yield of 5.53%. This news release should be read with Amerigo's interim consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis ('MD&A') for Q2-2025, available on the Company's website at and on the SEDAR+ website at Q2-2025 Q2-2024 $ $ MVC's copper price ($/lb)4 4.42 4.39 Revenue ($ millions) 50.8 51.6 Net income ($ millions) 7.5 9.8 EPS ($) 0.05 0.06 EPS (Cdn) 0.06 0.08 EBITDA1 ($ millions) 17.8 22.3 Operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital1 ($ millions) 11.9 14.3 FCFE1 ($ millions) 6.5 6.7 June 30, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024 Cash ($ millions) 23.3 35.9 Restricted cash ($ millions) 0.9 4.4 Borrowings ($ millions) 7.0 10.7 Shares outstanding at end of period (millions) 161.5 164.5 Highlights and Significant Items In Q2-2025, Amerigo's posted net income of $7.5 million (Q2-2024: $9.8 million), driven by copper production from MVC of 15.5 million pounds ('M lbs') (Q2-2024: 14.0 M lbs) at an average MVC copper price of $4.42 per pound ('/lb') (Q2-2024: $4.39/lb). In Q2-2024, net income was higher as a result of $6.9 million in positive fair value adjustments to copper revenue receivables from a sharp quarter-on-quarter copper price appreciation (Q2-2025: $0.7 million). EPS in Q2-2025 was $0.05 (Cdn$0.06), compared to $0.06 (Cdn$0.08) in Q2-2024. The Company generated operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital1 of $11.9 million in Q2-2025, compared to $14.3 million in Q2-2024. The Company's quarterly net operating cash flow was $6.3 million (Q2-2024: $23.8 million) after changes in working capital in the period, most notably a $9.5 million reduction in current income tax liabilities associated with MVC's final 2024 income tax payment and reductions of $2.1 million in trade and other receivables. Free cash flow to equity1 was $6.5 million in Q2-2025 (Q2-2024: $6.7 million), after debt repayments of $4.0 million (Q2-2024: $4.2 million) and capital expenditures ('Capex') payments of $1.4 million (Q2-2024: $3.4 million). In Q2-2025, Amerigo returned $7.6 million to shareholders (Q2-2024: $3.6 million). This included $3.5 million returned to shareholders through Amerigo's regular quarterly dividend of Cdn$0.03 per share (Q2-2024: $3.6 million or Cdn$0.03 per share) and $4.0 million from the purchase and cancellation of 3.1 million common shares through a NCIB (Q2-2024: $nil). Q2-2025 cash cost1 was $1.82/lb (Q2-2024: $1.96/lb). The $0.14/lb reduction in cash cost was primarily due to a $0.19/lb decrease in smelting and refining charges, in response to the current annual benchmark, offset by a $0.03/lb increase in lime cost and a $0.03/lb increase in other direct costs. On June 30, 2025, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $23.3 million (December 31, 2024: $35.9 million), restricted cash of $0.9 million (December 31, 2024: $4.4 million), and its working capital deficiency was $5.4 million, down from a working capital deficiency of $6.5 million on December 31, 2024. The Company's financial performance is sensitive to changes in copper prices. MVC's Q2-2025 provisional copper price was $4.42/lb. The final prices for April, May, and June 2025 sales will be based on the average London Metal Exchange ('LME') prices for July, August, and September 2025, respectively. A 10% increase or decrease from the $4.42/lb provisional price used on June 30, 2025, would result in a $6.9 million change in revenue in Q3-2025 regarding Q2-2025 production4.

These non-IFRS performance measures are included in this news release because they provide key performance measures used by management to monitor operating performance, assess corporate performance, and plan and assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of Amerigo's operations. These performance measures are not standardized financial measures under International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IFRS Accounting Standards'), and, therefore, amounts presented may not be comparable to similar financial measures disclosed by other companies. These performance measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for performance measures in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. (i) EBITDA refers to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and administration and is calculated by adding depreciation expense to the Company's gross profit.

FCFE represents the amount of cash generated by the Company in a reporting period that can be used to pay for the following: a) potential distributions to the Company's shareholders and b) any additional taxes triggered by the repatriation of funds from Chile to Canada to fund these distributions. Free cash flow ('FCF') refers to FCFE plus repayments of borrowings.

Under the 'T+1 settlement cycle', the Company's shares will commence trading on an ex-dividend basis at the opening of trading on August 29, 2025. Shareholders purchasing Amerigo shares on or after the ex-dividend date will not receive this dividend, as it will be paid to the selling shareholders. Shareholders purchasing Amerigo shares before the ex-dividend date will receive the dividend. 4 MVC's copper priceMVC's copper price is the average notional copper price for the period before smelting and refining, DET notional copper royalties, transportation costs and excluding settlement adjustments to prior period sales. MVC's pricing terms are based on the average LME copper price of the third month following the delivery of copper concentrates produced under the DET tolling agreement ('M+3'). This means that when final copper prices are not yet known, they are provisionally marked to market at the end of each month based on the progression of the LME-published average monthly M and M+3 prices. Provisional prices are adjusted monthly using this consistent methodology until they are settled. Q1-2025 copper deliveries were marked to market on March 31, 2025, at an average price of $4.42/lb and were settled in Q2-2025 as follows: January 2025 sales settled at the April 2025 LME average price of $4.17/lb February 2025 sales settled at the May 2025 LME average price of $4.32/lb March 2025 sales settled at the June 2025 LME average price of $4.46/lb Q2-2025 copper deliveries were marked to market on June 30, 2025, at an average price of $4.42/lb and will be settled at the LME average prices for July, August, and September 2025.

This information relates to future events or the Company's future performance. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The use of any of the words "anticipate", "plan", "continue", "estimate", "expect", "may", "will", "project", "predict", "potential", "should", "believe" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning: forecasted production and operating costs; our strategies and objectives; our estimates of the availability and quantity of tailings and the quality of our mine plan estimates; prices and price volatility for copper, molybdenum and other commodities and materials we use in our operations; the demand for and supply of copper, molybdenum and other commodities and materials that we produce, sell and use; sensitivity of our financial results and share price to changes in commodity prices; our financial resources and financial condition; interest and other expenses; domestic and foreign laws affecting our operations; our tax position and the tax rates applicable to us; our ability to comply with our loan covenants; the production capacity of our operations, our planned production levels and future production; potential impact of production and transportation disruptions; hazards inherent in the mining industry causing personal injury or loss of life, severe damage to or destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage, claims by third parties and suspension of operations estimates of asset retirement obligations and other costs related to environmental protection; our future capital and production costs, including the costs and potential impact of complying with existing and proposed environmental laws and regulations in the operation and closure of our operations; repudiation, nullification, modification or renegotiation of contracts; our financial and operating objectives; our environmental, health and safety initiatives; the outcome of legal proceedings and other disputes in which we may be involved; the outcome of negotiations concerning metal sales, treatment charges and royalties; disruptions to the Company's information technology systems, including those related to cybersecurity; our dividend policy, including the security of the quarterly dividends and our Capital Return Strategy; and general business and economic conditions, including, but not limited to, our assessment of strong market fundamentals supporting copper forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Inherent in forward-looking statements are risks and uncertainties beyond our ability to predict or control, including risks that may affect our operating or capital plans; risks generally encountered in the operation, permitting and development of mineral projects such as unusual or unexpected geological formations, negotiations with government and other third parties, unanticipated metallurgical difficulties, delays associated with permits, approvals and permit appeals, ground control problems, adverse weather conditions (including, but not limited, to heavy rains), process upsets and equipment malfunctions; risks associated with labour disturbances and availability of skilled labour and management; risks related to the potential impact of global or national health concerns; government or regulatory actions or inactions, including, but not limited to, the imposition of tariffs on the importation of copper; fluctuations in the market prices of our principal commodities, which are cyclical and subject to substantial price fluctuations; risks created through competition for mining projects and properties; risks associated with lack of access to markets; risks associated with availability of and our ability to obtain both tailings from Codelco's Division El Teniente ('DET') current production and historic tailings from tailings deposit; the availability of and ability of the Company to obtain adequate funding on reasonable terms for expansions and acquisitions; mine plan estimates; risks posed by fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates, as well as general economic conditions; risks associated with environmental compliance and changes in environmental legislation and regulation; risks associated with our dependence on third parties for the provision of critical services; risks associated with non-performance by contractual counterparties; risks associated with supply chain disruptions; title risks; social and political risks associated with operations in foreign countries; risks of changes in laws affecting our operations or their interpretation, including foreign exchange controls; and risks associated with tax reassessments and legal proceedings. Many of these risks and uncertainties apply to the Company and its operations, as well as DET and its operations. DET's ongoing mining operations provide a significant portion of the materials the Company processes and its resulting metals production. Therefore, these risks and uncertainties may also affect the Company's operations and have a material effect. Actual results and developments will likely differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements in this news release. Such statements are based on several assumptions which may prove to be incorrect, including, but not limited to, assumptions about: general business and economic conditions; interest and currency exchange rates; changes in commodity and power prices; acts of foreign governments and the outcome of legal proceedings; the supply and demand for deliveries of and the level and volatility of prices of copper, molybdenum and other commodities and products used in our operations; the ongoing supply of material for processing from DET's current mining operations; the grade and projected recoveries of tailings processed by MVC; the ability of the Company to profitably extract and process material from the historic tailings deposit; the timing of the receipt of and retention of permits and other regulatory and governmental approvals; our costs of production and our production and productivity levels, as well as those of our competitors; changes in credit market conditions and conditions in financial markets generally; our ability to procure equipment and operating supplies in sufficient quantities and on a timely basis; the availability of qualified employees and contractors for our operations; our ability to attract and retain skilled staff; the satisfactory negotiation of collective agreements with unionized employees; the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates and capital repatriation on our costs and results; engineering and construction timetables and capital costs for our expansion projects; costs of closure of various operations; market competition; tax benefits and tax rates; the outcome of our copper concentrate sales and treatment and refining charge negotiations; the resolution of environmental and other proceedings or disputes; the future supply of reasonably priced power; average recoveries for fresh and historic tailings; our ability to obtain, comply with and renew permits and licenses in a timely manner; and Our ongoing relations with our employees and entities with which we do production levels and cost estimates assume no adverse mining or other events significantly affecting budgeted production levels. Climate change is a global issue that could pose significant challenges affecting the Company's future operations. This could include more frequent and intense droughts followed by intense rainfall. In the last several years, Central Chile has experienced both drought conditions and significant rain episodes. The Company's operations are sensitive to water availability and the reserves required to process projected historic tailings tonnage. Although the Company believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, because these assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies which are difficult or impossible to predict and are beyond the Company's control, the Company cannot assure that it will achieve or accomplish the expectations, beliefs or projections described in the forward-looking statements. The preceding list of important factors and assumptions is not exhaustive. Other events or circumstances could cause our results to differ materially from those estimated, projected, and expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. ANY FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS RESTRICTION MAY CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF U.S. SECURITIES LAW CALGARY, Alberta, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- High Arctic Overseas Holdings Corp. (TSXV: HOH) ("High Arctic Overseas" or the "Corporation") announced today that the TSX Venture Exchange (the "Exchange") has accepted a notice filed by the Corporation of its intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (the "Bid") to be transacted through the facilities of the Exchange. The notice provides that the Corporation may, during the 12-month period commencing June 20, 2025 and ending June 19, 2026 purchase up to 622,408 Common Shares ("Shares") in total, being approximately 5% of the total number of Shares outstanding as at June 17, 2025. The price which the Corporation will pay for any such Shares will be the prevailing market price at the time of acquisition. The actual number of Shares which may be purchased pursuant to the Bid and the timing of any such purchases will be determined by management of the Corporation. Purchases under the Bid will be made from time to time by ATB Capital Markets on behalf of the Corporation. The Corporation may enter into a pre-defined automatic securities purchase plan with ATB Financial to allow for the repurchase of Shares at times when the Corporation ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise.

As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board believes that the purchase of the Shares would be an appropriate use of corporate funds and in the best interests of the Corporation and its shareholders.

In the opinion of the Board of Directors of BeWhere, the market price of the Common Shares of BeWhere does not accurately reflect the value of those shares.
