This Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated by reference herein contain "forward-looking information" and "forward-looking statements" (collectively "forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation, including: projections; outlook; guidance; forecasts; estimates; and other statements regarding future or estimated financial and operational performance, gold production and sales, revenues and cash flows, capital costs (sustaining and non-sustaining) and operating costs, including projected cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs, and budgets on a consolidated and mine by mine basis; future or estimated mine life, metal price assumptions, ore grades or sources, gold recovery rates, stripping ratios, throughput and ore processing; statements regarding anticipated exploration, drilling, development, construction, permitting and other activities or achievements of the Company; and including, without limitation: remaining well positioned for continued strong operational and financial performance in 2026; projected gold production, cash operating costs and all-in sustaining costs on a consolidated and mine by mine basis in 2026 for the Fekola Complex, the Goose Mine, the Masbate Gold Project and the Otjikoto Mine; total consolidated gold production of between 820,000 and 970,000 ounces in 2026; our continued prioritization of operating the Goose Mine in a manner that recognizes Indigenous input and concerns and brings long-term socio-economic benefits to the area; the Goose Mine’s annual gold production exceeding 300,000 ounces per year beginning in 2027 and continuing over the medium-term; the receipt of the exploitation permit for Fekola Regional in the first quarter of 2026 and Fekola Regional production expected to commence in the second half of 2026; Fekola Regional ramping up to a peak of 180,000 gold ounces in the first five years of operation and producing an average of 160,000 ounces per year over the life of planned operations; the potential for the Antelope deposit to be developed as an underground operation and contribute up to 65,000 ounces per year during the low-grade stockpile processing in 2028 through 2032; the timing and results of the optimization studies on the Goose Mine; the continued implications of the 2023 Mining Code and 2024 MOU; the approval of the Gramalote Project Modified Work Plan and Modified Environmental Impact Study, capital cost and timing estimates for resettlement and coexistence projects, and the potential to develop the Gramalote Project as an open pit gold mine; planned 2026 exploration budgets for Canada, Mali, Namibia, the Philippines, Finland, Kazakhstan and other grassroots projects; the timing and impact of the new taxes enacted in the Philippines; the potential payment of future dividends, including the timing and amount of any such dividends, and the expectation that quarterly dividends will be maintained at the same level; our ability to service our debts; the availability of our revolving credit facility for future drawdowns; our ability to pay interest on the convertible notes, redeem the convertible notes at our option, or purchase the convertible notes as per their terms. All statements in this Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated by reference herein that address events or developments that we expect to occur in the future are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements or information generally identified by the use of the words “believe”, “will”, “advance”, “achieve”, “strategy”, “increase”, “plan”, “vision”, “improve”, “maintain”, “potential”, “intend”, “on budget”, “anticipate”, “expect”, “estimate”, “on track”, “target”, “objective”, and similar expressions and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, or “should”, or the negative connotation of such terms, are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements and information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements since we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. We have based these forward-looking statements and information on our current expectations and projections about future events.

Forward-looking statements necessarily involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties, certain of which are beyond the Company’s control, including risks associated with or related to: the volatility of metal prices and the Company’s common shares; changes in tax laws; the dangers inherent in exploration, development and mining activities; the uncertainty of reserve and resource estimates; not achieving production, cost or other estimates; actual production, development plans and costs differing materially from the estimates in the Company’s feasibility and other studies; the ability to obtain and maintain any necessary permits, consents or authorizations required for mining activities; environmental regulations or hazards and compliance with complex regulations associated with mining activities; climate change and climate change regulations; the ability to replace mineral reserves and identify acquisition opportunities; the unknown liabilities of companies acquired by the Company; the ability to successfully integrate new acquisitions; fluctuations in exchange rates; the availability of financing; financing and debt activities,

including potential restrictions imposed on the Company's operations as a result thereof and the ability to generate sufficient cash flows; operations in foreign and developing countries and the compliance with foreign laws, including those associated with operations in Mali, the Philippines, Namibia, and Colombia and including risks related to changes in foreign laws and changing policies related to mining and local ownership requirements or resource nationalization generally; remote operations and the availability of adequate infrastructure; fluctuations in price and availability of energy and other inputs necessary for mining operations; shortages or cost increases in necessary equipment, supplies and labour; regulatory, political and country risks, including local instability or acts of terrorism and the effects thereof; the reliance upon contractors, third parties and joint venture partners; the lack of sole decision-making authority related to Filminera Resources Corporation, which owns the Masbate Gold Project; challenges to title or surface rights; the dependence on key personnel and the ability to attract and retain skilled personnel; the risk of an uninsurable or uninsured loss; adverse climate and weather conditions; litigation risk; competition with other mining companies; community support for the Company's operations, including risks related to strikes and the halting of such operations from time to time; conflicts with small scale miners; failures of information systems or information security threats; the ability to maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting as required by law, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act; compliance with anti-corruption laws, and sanctions or other similar measures; social media and the Company's reputation; as well as other factors identified and as described in more detail under the heading "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Information Form, this Annual Report and our other filings with Canadian securities regulators and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), which may be viewed at www.sedarplus.ca and www.sec.gov, respectively. The list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect the Company's forward-looking statements.

While we consider these assumptions to be reasonable based on information currently available, they may prove to be incorrect. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on the forward-looking statements or information contained in this Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated by reference herein. We caution that forward-looking statements and information involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information contained in this Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated herein. As a result, actual actions, events or results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements, and there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results to differ from those anticipated, estimated or intended including, without limitation, those referred to in our Annual Information Form incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 to this Annual Report under the heading "Risk Factors" and elsewhere.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of our forward-looking statements and information. Forward-looking statements and information are designed to help readers understand management’s views as of that time with respect to future events and speak only as of the date they are made. Except as required by applicable law, we assume no obligation to update or to publicly announce the results of any change to any forward-looking statement or information contained or incorporated by reference to reflect actual results, future events or developments, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting the forward-looking statements and information. If we update any one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements and information contained in this Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated herein are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement.

RESOURCE AND RESERVE ESTIMATES

This Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated by reference herein and therein, have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards for the reporting of mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates, which differ from the previous and current standards of the United States securities laws. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “inferred mineral resources,”, “indicated mineral resources,” “measured mineral resources” and “mineral resources” used or referenced in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein are Canadian mineral disclosure terms as defined in accordance with Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) – CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the “CIM Definition Standards”).

For United States reporting purposes, the SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules (the "SEC Modernization Rules") to modernize the mining property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are registered with the SEC under the Exchange Act. As a foreign private issuer that is eligible to file reports with the

SEC pursuant to the MJDS, we are not required to provide disclosure on our mineral properties under the SEC Modernization Rules and we provide disclosure under NI 43-101 and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, mineral reserve and mineral resource information contained in this Annual Report and the Exhibits incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by United States companies.

As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of "proven mineral reserves" and "probable mineral reserves" to be "substantially similar" to the corresponding CIM Definition Standards that are required under NI 43-101. While the above terms are "substantially similar" to CIM Definition Standards, there are differences in the definitions under the SEC Modernization Rules and the CIM Definition Standards. Accordingly, there is no assurance that any mineral reserves or mineral resources that we may report as "proven mineral reserves", "probable mineral reserves", "measured mineral resources", "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources" under NI 43-101 would be the same had we prepared the reserve or resource estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules. Further, estimates of inferred mineral resources have significant geological uncertainty and it should not be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will be converted to the measured or indicated categories. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not meet the threshold for reserve modifying factors, such as estimated economic viability, that would allow for conversion to mineral reserves.

DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES

We prepare our annual financial statements, which are filed with this report on Form 40-F, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Accordingly, our financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of companies in the United States.

NYSE AMERICAN STATEMENT OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE DIFFERENCES

As a Canadian corporation listed on the NYSE American LLC (the “NYSE American”) and a foreign private issuer under the Exchange Act, we are permitted to follow our home country practice in lieu of certain NYSE American corporate governance standards. In order to claim these exemptions, Section 110 of the NYSE American Company Guide requires us to provide to the NYSE American written certification from independent Canadian counsel that the non-complying practice is not prohibited by Canadian law. In addition, we must disclose the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those U.S. domestic issuers are required to follow under the NYSE American corporate governance standards. Except as set forth below, we are in compliance with NYSE American corporate governance standards.

Section 123 of the NYSE American Company Guide recommends that the minimum quorum requirement for a meeting of shareholders is 33 1/3 % of the outstanding common shares. In addition, Section 123 requires that an issuer listed on NYSE American state its quorum requirement in its bylaws. We follow Canadian laws with respect to quorum requirements. Our quorum requirement is set forth in our articles, which provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of shareholders is two shareholders present in person or represented by proxy who hold at least 5% of the issued common shares entitled to vote at the meeting.

The NYSE American Company Guide requires that the solicitation of proxies and delivery of proxy statements for all shareholder meetings be solicited pursuant to a proxy statement that conforms to the proxy rules of the SEC. We solicit proxies in accordance with the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, applicable Canadian securities laws, including National Instrument 54-101 and National Instrument 51-102, and the rules and policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange, which may differ in certain respects from the proxy rules of the SEC.

The NYSE American Company Guide generally requires a company’s compensation committee to consist solely of independent directors. We may from time to time appoint to our compensation committee one or more directors that are not independent, in compliance with applicable Canadian securities regulations and the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.

The NYSE American Company Guide requires a listed company to obtain the approval of its shareholders for certain types of securities issuances, including private placements that may result in the issuance of common shares (or securities convertible into common shares) equal to 20% or more of presently outstanding shares for less than the greater of book or market value of the shares. Under Canadian laws and applicable Toronto Stock Exchange rules, shareholder approval is required for certain transactions including private placements or acquisitions where more than 25% of presently outstanding shares are issued or issuable, where securities issued or issuable to insiders exceed 10% in the context of an acquisition, where the transaction results in a change of control or certain related party transactions. We will seek a waiver from NYSE American’s shareholder approval requirements in circumstances where the securities issuance does not trigger such a requirement under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act, applicable Canadian securities regulations or the rules of the Toronto Stock Exchange.
