“We’re pleased to report another strong quarter, with production tracking well against plan,” said Dan Dickson, Chief Executive Officer. “Our revenue performance was bolstered by higher realized prices, highlighting the strength of our portfolio. We continue to generate solid mine operating cash flow, underpinned by disciplined cost control and a relentless focus on operational excellence. With robust liquidity, the addition of the Kolpa project, and Terronera coming online soon, we are well positioned to drive sustainable growth and deliver long-term value for our shareholders.”

Q1 2025 Highlights

• Steady Production in Line with Plan: 1,205,793 ounces (“oz”) of silver and 8,338 oz of gold for 1.9 million oz silver equivalent (“AgEq”)⁽¹⁾.
• Strong Revenue From Higher Realized Prices: $63.5 million from the sale of 1,223,684 oz of silver and 8,538 oz of gold at average realized prices of $31.99 per oz silver and $2,903 per oz gold.
• Mine Operating Cash Flow: $8.3 million in operating cash flow before working capital changes⁽²⁾, a decrease of 18% from Q1 2024.
• Operating Costs: Cash costs⁽²⁾ of $15.89 per oz payable silver and all-in sustaining costs⁽²⁾ of $24.48 per oz, net of gold credits. Cash costs⁽²⁾ and all-in sustaining costs were slightly below guidance primarily due to a higher gold by-product credit.
• Strong Liquidity: Cash position of $64.7 million and working capital⁽²⁾ of $14.8 million. Cash decreased from December 31, 2024, as the Company continued investing in development activities at the Terronera project (the “Terronera Project”).
• Completed Acquisition of Minera Kolpa: Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company completed the acquisition of Compañía Minera Kolpa S.A. (“Minera Kolpa”) and its main asset, the Huachocolpa Uno Mine (the “Acquisition”) and concurrently closed the US$35 million copper stream with Versamet Royalties Corporation (See news release dated May 1, 2025 here).

Financial Overview

⁽¹⁾ Silver equivalent (AgEq) is calculated using an 80:1 Ag:Au ratio.

⁽²⁾ These are non-IFRS financial measures and ratios. Further details on these non-IFRS financial measures and ratios are provided at the end of this press release and in the MD&A accompanying the Company’s financial statements, which can be viewed on the Company’s website, on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.

Direct operating costs per tonne in Q1 2025 increased to $142.72, 6% higher compared with $134.97 in Q1 2024 caused by 6% lower throughput while total direct operating costs remained in line with Q1 2024.

Consolidated cash costs per oz, net of by-product credits, increased 20% to $15.89 driven by 17% lower silver ounces produced and 8% higher in direct costs, offset by 8% higher by-product gold sales.

All-In-Sustaining Costs (“AISC”) in Q1 2025 was $24.48 per silver ounce, 14% higher than Q1 2024 due to the 17% lower production of silver ounces, partially offset by an 1% lower cash costs.

In Q1 2025, the Company’s mine operating earnings were $12.8 million (Q1 2024 – $11.7 million) from revenue of $63.5 million (Q1 2024 – $63.7 million) and cost of sales of $50.7 million (Q1 2024 – $52.1 million). The lower cost of sales were driven by the 30% lower ounces sold during the period compared to the same period in 2024. Realized silver price was $31.99 per oz for the quarter, 36% higher than the same period in 2024 and the realized gold price was $2,903 or 37% higher compared to Q1 2025. Higher realized prices have offset the impact of lower ounces sold on revenue. Silver and gold ounces sold decreased primarily due to the lower production of gold compared to Q1 2024.

In Q1 2025, the Company had operating earnings of $4.0 million (Q1 2024 – $3.3 million) after exploration, evaluation and development costs of $4.5 million (Q1 2024 – $4.3 million), and general and administrative expense of $4.3 million (Q1 2024 – $4.0 million). Exploration costs increased during the first quarter as the Company ramped up activities at Pitarrilla.

The loss before taxes for Q1 2025 was $27.8 million (Q1 2024 – earnings of $4.2 million) after loss on derivative contracts of $31.9 million (Q1 2024 – $nil), a foreign exchange loss of $1.0 million (Q1 2024 – gain of $1.2 million), investment and other income of $1.5 million (Q1 2024 – investments and other expense of $nil), and finance costs of $0.4 million (Q1 2024 – $0.3 million).

The Company realized a net loss for the period of $32.9 million (Q1 2024 – net loss of $1.2 million) after an income tax expense of $5.1 million (Q1 2024 – income tax expense of $5.4 million). The deferred tax recovery was realized as a result of recognizing previously unutilized losses during the period.

Adjusted net loss was $0.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.3 million in Q1 2024, while adjusted earnings per share remained steady at $0.00.
