Capital and Surface Infrastructure Projects Mustang Surface Earthworks Talisker continued investing in critical site infrastructure to support future production growth. At the Mustang Mine, clearing, grading, and earthworks commenced to expand the portal area and prepare for several major infrastructure projects. A new laydown and storage pad was completed to support the storage of supplies and equipment. The expanded site footprint will accommodate: Electrical Upgrades Construction is underway to upgrade site electrical infrastructure to support long term mining power requirements. A 1.2MW diesel power generator with 100% redundancy is currently being installed along with 5kV site distribution to enable continuous electrical power supply for underground development and production. Infrastructure will be pre-installed to allow for an additional 1.2MW to bring the total power availability to 2.4MW with redundancy when required. Commissioning is planned to be complete by the end of September. Ventilation Engineering design and procurement of two 100-horsepower primary ventilation fans, together with the associated steel fan support structure, were completed during 2026. Installation and commissioning at the Mustang Mine portal are planned for Q3 and represent a key component of the Company's long term ventilation strategy. Once operational, the fan installation and associated ducting network are expected to significantly increase ventilation capacity into both the Mustang and Bralorne West mines, supporting higher development and production rates while improving current underground operating conditions. Within the Lower Mustang Zone, ventilation infrastructure was further advanced through the completion of the 1045L to 1030L ventilation raise and the 1030L ventilation bulkhead. These key infrastructure components allow fresh air to be delivered directly to active mining faces on the 1045L, 1030L, and 1015L, as well as the Lower Mustang Decline, currently advancing toward the 1000L Level. This improved ventilation network is expected to increase face availability, enhance operational flexibility, and allow air to be delivered further along strike, providing the ability to extend sill development should mineralization continue beyond the current mine design. At the Bralorne West Mine, progress on the Bralorne West Decline ventilation upgrade remains on schedule, with three of five key project stages completed during Q3. Installation of the hardline ducting network began in early September, and commissioning is expected in late October following completion of the Mustang Mine power upgrades. The upgraded system is designed to provide approximately 55,000 cfm of airflow, enabling continued advancement of the Bralorne West Decline and will support development access to the mineralized zones in the Bralorne West zone. Camp Infrastructure Significant progress was also achieved in workforce accommodation infrastructure in 2026. Talisker successfully installed and commissioned a new 32 bed accommodation facility in Q2. Demolition of legacy camp facilities commenced in Q3 to make way for a new mine dry and shower facility, a 42 bed dormitory, a modern kitchen and recreation complex and a new mine dry facility. Installation is scheduled for the third and fourth quarters. Capital and Infrastructure Project Investments, 2026 To date, Talisker has invested $13.4 million on capital infrastructure projects in 2026. Collectively, these investments in both surface and underground mine infrastructure and workforce accommodations strengthen the operational foundation required to support increased mining rates, future production growth, and long term value creation at the Bralorne Gold Project. Geology and Resource Definition Activities Geological activities in 2026 focused on delineation drilling, underground mapping, underground grade control sampling, stockpile sampling, geological interpretation, and resource modelling across several key mineralized zones, including: Mustang Mine Bralorne West Mine 26,730 metres of resource conversion drilling have been completed as of August 31, 2026, including 14,933 metres in the producing Mustang Main Zone and 11,797 metres in the developing Bralorne West Zone. The Company currently has three diamond drills operating across the project, with drilling focused on resource growth, resource conversion, and supporting future mine development. A fourth diamond drill is anticipated for Q1 2027. Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report Work on the Company's updated Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") continues to advance. Engineering, mine planning, infrastructure design, and economic evaluation activities remain on schedule, with completion of the PEA targeted as planned for late Q3 to early Q4, 2026. The PEA is expected to provide an updated assessment of the long term development potential of the Bralorne Gold Project and support future growth planning. Permitting Update 750 Tonne Per Day Bridge Application The Mines Act permit amendment application, originally submitted in December 2025, underwent a comprehensive review and update to align the application with planned development. The application was significantly updated and resubmitted in July 2026. Key updates include: Major Permit Amendment In July 2026, Talisker commenced a Joint Application Permit Amendment process to amend its Mines Act Permit and Environmental Management Act permits related to air emissions and effluent discharge. The amendments are designed to facilitate production rates above 750 tonnes per day and enable the construction of a milling facility at the Bralorne Gold Project. Baseline environmental programs that will inform this application commenced in August 2026. Development of the permitting schedule is currently underway, with submission of the application targeted for 2027 . Crushing and Sorting Facility Update Detailed engineering for the Crushing and Sorting Facility is progressing well, with key long lead time equipment deliveries now underway. The jaw crusher, cone crusher, and vibrating screen plant have been delivered. The sprung span structures that will house the equipment will begin manufacturing shortly and will start delivering in October, and additional equipment is expected to arrive throughout the fall, including the TOMRA sorter in Q4. Site preparation and earthworks are currently underway to support facility construction this fall, marking an important project milestone.
