INDIVIDUAL MINE OPERATING PERFORMANCE
The Ying Mining District delivered a strong Q3 Fiscal 2026, with record ore mined of 365,370 tonnes, up 23% over Q3 Fiscal 2025, driven by increased use of shrinkage mining relative to cut-and-fill re-suing. Mill throughput was 328,425 tonnes, up 18% over Q3 Fiscal 2025.
Production was approximately 1.7 million ounces of silver, 2,096 ounces of gold, or 1.9 million ounces of silver equivalent, 14.7 million pounds of lead, and 1.9 million pounds of zinc, representing an increase of 2% in gold and decreases of 2%, 4%, 4%, and 16% in silver, silver equivalent, lead and zinc, respectively, over Q3 Fiscal 2025. Lower production was due to lower head grades, as a result of the XRT sorter undergoing maintenance in October 2025 and higher dilution associated with shrinkage mining.
Cash cost per tonne of ore was $75.80 in Q3 Fiscal 2026, down 11% from Q3 Fiscal 2025 and below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $86.8–$88.4. The improvement reflects ongoing mine mechanization and greater use of cost-efficient shrinkage mining, boosting mine and mill productivity. On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, cash cost was negative $1.22, compared with negative $0.30 in Q3 Fiscal 2025, driven by these factors and a $3.5 million increase in by-product credits.
AISC per tonne of ore improved 11% in Q3 Fiscal 2026, to $134.06, remaining below the Fiscal 2026 guidance range of $157.8–$160.5. On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, AISC was $11.32, supporting robust margins amid higher silver prices.
The mines in the Ying Mining District are expected to be closed for three weeks during the Chinese New Year period in February, but the process plant will continue to operate during the holiday to process the 61,105 tonnes stockpiled at the end of this quarter together with ore stockpiled in January 2026.

**Gold recovery only refers to the recovery rate for gold ore processed.
The GC Mine produced approximately 0.1 million ounces of silver, 1.7 million pounds of lead, and 5.1 million pounds of zinc in Q3 Fiscal 2026, representing an increase of 15% in zinc and decreases of 28% in silver and 6% in lead over Q3 Fiscal 2025, primarily due to head grades. The GC mine is expected to process approximately 50,000 tonnes of ore in Q4 Fiscal 2026.
Cash cost per tonne of $53.37 and AISC per tonne of $68.53 were below the Fiscal 2026 Guidance, and improved 1% and 9%, respectively, from Q3 Fiscal 2025, due to higher ore production and lower sustaining capital expenditures.
On a per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits basis, cash cost and AISC were negative $29.05 and negative $15.66, respectively, compared to negative $19.14 and negative $6.13 in Q3 Fiscal 2025. The improvement primarily reflects a $0.7 million increase in by-product credits.
