What Went Well and What Went Wrong

Turnaround signals at DDGM: “We’ve started receiving some of the gently used equipment that we ordered… Development work by Cominvi is progressing… cut‑and‑fill… significantly reduced dilution” — Allen Palmiere, CEO .
Production and prices up q/q: AuEq sold increased to 6,298 oz in Q3 vs 2,420 oz in Q2; realized prices improved to $3,546 gold and $41.39 silver .
Costs improved q/q: total cash cost dropped to $2,116/AuEq and AISC to $2,983/AuEq (vs $4,017 and $5,458 in Q2), reflecting operational gains and higher volumes .

Ongoing going-concern risk: lower YTD production/grades and YTD net losses of $24.5M created “substantial doubt” about going concern, despite improved liquidity year-to-date .
Equipment/mill constraints: partway into Q3, equipment age/condition and mill mechanical issues lowered throughput; only by quarter-end did production improve with contractors and fleet upgrades .
Net losses persisted: Q3 net loss was $4.7M; year-to-date operating cash flow remained negative, underscoring continuing liquidity pressures .

“We are encouraged that these improvements are already yielding positive results, and we anticipate continued progress moving forward.” — Allen Palmiere (Q3 release) .

Share price reaction (+8.6% after-hours) indicates the market is recalibrating for operational momentum despite continuing liquidity risk .

Values marked with * retrieved from S&P Global.

Operational momentum: improved headings, received equipment, and cut‑and‑fill method drove higher volumes and materially lower unit costs in Q3 .
Near-term profitability: management expects positive operating income for the remaining months of 2025; monitor December quarter cash generation to validate sustainability .
Liquidity and going concern: despite financings (ATM and registered direct offering), going-concern language persists—track operating cash flow and capital needs for development .
Cost leverage: AISC fell to $2,983/AuEq from $5,458 in Q2; if volumes hold, continued cost normalization could support improved margins and reduce cash burn .
Metals tailwinds: significantly higher realized prices for gold and silver aided revenue; sensitivity to commodity prices remains high .
Execution risk: equipment/mill reliability and timely development of Three Sisters/Arista targets remain critical to sustaining volumes .
Trading lens: positive narrative inflection with improved KPIs and price reaction; watch follow‑through in Q4 volumes and any incremental financing disclosures .
