Proactive Safety Compliance: Starting mid June, we<br>voluntarily suspended operations to conduct comprehensive self-reviews and complete the "Six Major Safety Systems" underground<br>upgrades in full compliance with new Chinese government regulations. While this one-time initiative temporarily impacted metals production<br>during the quarter, it lays a solid foundation for sustainable operations;

Kuanping mine construction continued, with 2,155 m<br>of ramp development, 886 m of exploration tunneling and 3,716 m of drilling completed;

El Domo mine construction advanced steadily despite<br>rainfall challenges in the quarter. The non-contact water channel, foundation work of the processing plant and initial dam for the tailings<br>storage facility advanced with a total of approximately 604,600 cubic metres of earthworks excavation and fill completed. The open-pit<br>pre-stripping commenced, with efficiency being improved via equipment additions, expanded operational areas, and road upgrades. Meanwhile,<br>major equipment for the processing plant and water treatment station has been procured and shipped to the Country. The contract for the<br>construction of the process plant has been concluded with TGJA, a contractor who has just built the 80,000 tonne per day flotation mill<br>for the Mirador copper-gold mine in Ecuador. The Company is working on the target of commissioning the operation by July 2027 as planned;
--- ---
Chaarat ZAAV project is progressing as planned. A<br>mining contractor, CRCC19, has been hired after a bidding process that involved five bidders. CRCC19 is currently operating in Kyrgyzstan<br>and is also the mining contractor for our El Domo project in Ecuador. Construction of the temporary camp and related facilities is under<br>way, and CRCC19 has started to build access roads to the open pit mine and waste dump, and to prepare of the site foundation for the heap<br>leach pad area. A 50,000 m drilling program, including both in-fill and step-out, has advanced 12,967 m of drilling during the quarter<br>with 16 drill rigs, the assay results are pending. In addition, a bankable feasibility study is currently under compilation by LogiProc,<br>a third party engineering firm, and is expected to be completed in late July 2026.
