Alamos Gold Provides Operational Update Across Canadian Operations
Toronto, Ontario (June 18, 2026) – Alamos Gold Inc. (TSX:AGI; NYSE:AGI) (“Alamos” or the “Company”) today provided operational updates at its Young-Davidson and Island Gold District operations, as well as revised its second quarter production and cost guidance.
Young-Davidson operational update
Production from Young-Davidson in the second quarter has been impacted by recent events. Last week, the operation experienced two seismic events, with one occurring at an active mining front. No injuries were sustained; however, infrastructure was damaged limiting access to two higher grade stopes that were scheduled to be mined during the second quarter. The mining sequence is consistently reviewed and monitored to manage seismicity, and based on these recent events, the Company expects mining rates to average approximately 5,000 tonnes per day (“tpd”) for the remainder of the year. The Company will be optimizing the mining sequence and implementing additional ground support measures through the second half of the year, which is expected to support higher mining rates beyond 2026. A further update on the near-term outlook for Young-Davidson will be provided with the release of second quarter financial results in late July.
Additionally, the operation experienced power outages due to storm related damage to the regional power line in late May. The remote location of the power line along the route between the town of Kirkland Lake and Young-Davidson contributed to longer response time from the utility company. This resulted in a total of three days of unplanned downtime which impacted mining rates and production for the quarter.
Impact on second quarter and full year guidance
Given the seismic events at Young-Davidson, the unplanned downtime for power loss in May, and lower grades mined, the Company expects Young-Davidson production to be lower than anticipated for the second quarter and in-line with the first quarter. The Company is revising its second quarter production guidance to between 130,000 and 135,000 ounces, reflecting the shortfall at Young-Davidson, as well as the timing of recovery of ounces at La Yaqui Grande. Island Gold production for the second quarter is expected to be in line with plan for the quarter. Updated quarterly production guidance represents a 12% decrease from previous guidance based on the mid-point. Second quarter costs are also expected to be higher than previously guided, reflecting the lower production at Young-Davidson.
Given lower first half production and lower mining rates expected from Young-Davidson through the second half of the year, the Company expects consolidated production will be below the low end of 2026 guidance, and costs above full year guidance. The Company will provide revised 2026 consolidated production and cost guidance with the release of its second quarter financial results in late July.
TRADING SYMBOL: TSX:AGI NYSE:AGI
“We are disappointed with the operational challenges at Young-Davidson, and are working diligently to review and optimize the mining sequence to support higher mining rates going forward. The first half has been challenging, but we expect stronger production into the second half of this year. The key driver of this expected improvement is the Island Gold District. The ramp up of the operation continues to track well, as does work on the shaft and larger mill expansion, which are expected to be significant drivers of growth over the next several years,” said John A. McCluskey, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Island Gold operational update
Island Gold District operations continue to perform well, and remain on track to achieve full year guidance with significant production growth expected through the remainder of the year. Underground mining rates have increased to average a new record of more than 1,500 tpd to date in the second quarter, and are on track to increase to 2,000 tpd by the end of 2026. Underground grades mined in the second quarter continue to perform well and are expected to be consistent with the first quarter, as previously guided. Open pit grades mined are also performing well and remain consistent with full year guidance.
Magino mill throughput rates have demonstrated a significant improvement, averaging nearly 9,800 tpd to date in June. The improved performance follows the scheduled replacement of conveyor belts, as well as the ball and SAG mill liners during the last week of May. Throughput rates within the Magino mill are ramping up as planned and are expected to increase to average 10,000 tpd by the third quarter. Combined with increasing underground mining rates and higher grades, the Island Gold District is expected to contribute substantial production growth into the second half of 2026 at lower all-in sustaining costs.
All remaining 2026 legacy Argonaut gold hedges eliminated
During the second quarter, the Company repurchased and eliminated all remaining forward sale contracts that were set to mature in the second half of 2026. These contracts totaled 35,000 ounces at an average price of $1,821 per ounce. The cost to eliminate the 35,000 ounces was $92.3 million of cash, for an effective price of approximately $4,458 per ounce, providing further upside to higher gold prices.
This followed the repurchase and elimination of forward contracts in the first quarter covering 15,000 ounces scheduled to mature in the second half of 2026. The Company has now retired 279,000 ounces, or 85% of the 329,000 ounces of forward contracts inherited from Argonaut Gold in July 2024, prior to maturity, and will continue to explore opportunities to retire the remaining 50,000 ounces which are set to mature during the first half of 2027.
$30 million of shares repurchased under share buyback in May
As previously disclosed, the Company repurchased 753,600 shares at a cost of $30.0 million, or $39.84 per share, under its Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) in May 2026. With growing free cash flow and one of the strongest outlooks in the sector, the Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to repurchase shares and expects to be active over the coming months.

Cautionary 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. “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. “Growth capital” 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” 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. “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. “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. “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 available in the Company’s latest Management’s Discussion and Analysis available online on the SEDAR+ website at www.sedarplus.ca or on EDGAR at www.sec.gov and at www.alamosgold.com.
