"We are pleased to deliver another strong year of financial performance in 2025, highlighted by record total revenue of $13.1 million, up 32% from 2024, and a 77% year‑over‑year increase in net income from operations," said Paddy Nicol, CEO of Orogen. "Our prospect generation model delivered outstanding results, more than tripling net income from these activities and reinforcing its role as a core pillar of our strategy, while strong gold prices supported royalty revenue despite lower production from the Ermitaño mine. The increase in general and administrative expenses in the year were largely driven by restructuring costs resulting from the $421 million transaction with Triple Flag Precious Metals, with underlying overhead remaining relatively consistent with prior years. We completed 2025 with approximately $26 million in working capital, no debt, and a strong balance sheet. Supported by an experienced management team and a robust pipeline of self‑funded and alliance‑based prospect-generation opportunities, we are well positioned to continue expanding our royalty portfolio and delivering sustainable financial performance in 2026."

Summary of Results

Royalty Revenue - Ermitaño Royalty, Sonora, Mexico

The Ermitaño Mine forms part of First Majestic's Santa Elena mine complex, which includes both the Santa Elena and Ermitaño operations. The Company's royalty area of interest applies solely to the Ermitaño concessions and does not extend to the Santa Elena Mine.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, $9.6 million (2024 - $7.9 million) in royalty revenue was received consisting of 1,958 (2024 - 2,343) GEOs, down 16% compared to 2024. The royalty revenue is a record high for the Company since Ermitaño began production in late 2021. During the year, 1,101,613 tonnes (2024 - 1,012,523 tonnes) of ore were produced, up 9% from 2024. Silver and gold head grades averaged 62 grams per tonne ("g/t") and 2.65 g/t respectively, representing a 10% and 21% reduction, respectively, compared to 69 g/t and 3.36 g/t in the previous year. Silver and gold recoveries during the year averaged 65% and 94%, respectively, compared to 68% and 95% in the previous year.

For the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, royalty revenue was $3.1 million (2024 - $2.4 million) up 29% from 2024 and 35% from the previous quarter. This represented 547 GEOs (2024 - 628 GEOs) based on an average price of US$4,135 (2024 - US$2,663) per ounce. In Q4, the mill processed 283,721 tonnes, up 4% year over year, at average head grades of 62 g/t silver and 2.91 g/t gold. Silver and gold grades were 7% and 11% lower, respectively, in line with the mine plan.

The Ermitaño mine and Navidad deposits represent the most significant known gold and silver mineralization within Orogen's royalty area of interest on the Ermitaño concession and are characteristic of low‑sulphidation, vein‑hosted systems. Drilling at Ermitaño has outlined multiple veins, including a primary vein extending over 1.8 kilometres along strike and 550 metres down dip, with an eastern extension known as the Luna or Ermitaño East Complex. Since the announcement of an initial Inferred Resource for the Navidad vein in April 2025, the updated resource as at December 31, 2025, has grown substantially, with an 85% increase in contained gold and a 311% increase in contained silver compared to the initial estimate.

According to First Majestic's 2026 guidance, approximately 78,000 metres of drilling is planned with a focus on continuing to drill test extensions of the Navidad deposit and testing several greenfield targets within a ten-kilometre radius of the current processing plant where a new geologic understanding of district geology has highlighted the presence of large areas with exploration upside².

Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, First Majestic announced an updated Mineral Reserve and Resource³ estimate on the Ermitaño concessions. The mineral resource estimate outlines substantial growth across all categories, with Measured and Indicated Resources totaling 7.13 million tonnes containing 380,000 ounces of gold at 1.67 g/t and 8.9 million ounces of silver at 39 g/t, alongside Inferred Resources of 11.52 million tonnes containing 670,000 ounces of gold at 1.80 g/t and 24.2 million ounces of silver at 65 g/t. Year over year, Measured and Indicated Resources increased by 26% for gold and 42% for silver, while Inferred Resources rose by 63% for gold and 133% for silver. These increases were driven primarily by lower cutoff grades reflecting updated metal price assumptions, successful infill drilling that upgraded Inferred material to higher confidence categories, and continued expansion of the Navidad vein system.

Prospect Generation

In 2025, five new royalties were created and $3.0 million (2024 -$1.4 million) of revenue was generated from prospect generation operations from project sales and option agreements. The Company incurred $0.8 million (2024 - $0.6 million) in exploration expenses from prospect generation operations. The Company also recorded an impairment of $0.1 million (2024 - $0.1 million) for mineral properties that were abandoned during the year.

To date, the Company has 34 royalties in Canada, United States, Mexico, Argentina, Kenya, and Colombia, the majority of which were generated organically through the Company's prospect generation business. The Company also has eight mineral properties under option, and four projects that are available for sale or option and three alliances.

Exploration Outlook 2026

Orogen anticipates drilling on fourteen properties in 2026 with up to 50,000 metres of drilling by partners on exploration stage optioned properties and royalties excluding the planned drilling program at Ermitaño.

Highlights include:

• La Rica (1% NSR royalty) owned and operated by MCC Mining where a drill program on the porphyry target is underway

• MPD South (2% NSR royalty) owned and operated by Kodiak Copper Corp., is undergoing drilling aimed at resource expansion and upgrades⁶

• Maggie Creek (2% NSR royalty) optioned to Nevada Gold Mines, is being drilled to evaluate lower plate Carlin targets

• HWY 37 (1-3% NSR Royalty) optioned/ owned by Kingfisher Metals, which intends to undertake drilling to advance the Hank porphyry discovery⁷

Orogen estimates that over $100 million has been raised by our partners to support these initiatives in 2026.

General and Administrative Expenses

General, administrative, and overhead expenses totaled $6.7 million in 2025, an 81% increase from 2024, largely reflecting post July 9, 2025 Plan of Arrangement (the "Arrangement") impacts. The increase was driven by higher accounting and legal costs related to audits, tax services, and transaction‑related legal work, a $1.2 million unrealized foreign exchange loss resulting from currency movements affecting Mexican peso and U.S. dollar holdings, and elevated general and administrative and investor services expenses following completion of the Arrangement.
