Mining Life & Exploration News - Spring 2026

Publisher-Glenn Dredhart

As publisher of Mining Life & Exploration News and CEO of Canadian Trade-Ex, I’ve had the privilege of watching the mining industry evolve over the past four decades. That perspective offers a unique vantage point—where we have been, where we are today, and where we’re heading tomorrow.

Mining is an industry defined by resilience, innovation, and long-term vision. Understanding the bigger picture has always been central to my approach—recognizing emerging trends, supporting industry growth, and connecting the people and companies driving success across the sector.

Today, Northern Ontario continues to stand as the heartbeat of Canada’s mining industry. From the legendary Porcupine Gold Camp in Timmins to the vast mineral resources that stretch across the region, Northern Ontario is where history, production, and innovation converge. In 2024 alone, operations in Timmins produced over a million ounces of gold—a testament to the enduring legacy and ongoing vitality of this iconic mining district.

This official Show Guide edition of the Canadian Mining Expo celebrates that heritage while looking ahead. With more than 160 pages, it highlights the projects, technologies, and people shaping the future of mining—from automation and sustainable practices to exploration breakthroughs in gold, nickel, lithium, and critical minerals.

But mining is about more than output—it’s about people. The engineers, geologists, technicians, and communities whose dedication fuels growth are the true backbone of the industry. The Expo and this Show Guide showcase that collaboration, innovation, and commitment that continue to move Canadian mining forward responsibly and sustainably.

Helping the mining industry achieve success has always been my driving force—and it remains as strong today as ever. I hope this edition inspires, informs, and connects you, whether you are a seasoned industry leader, an emerging professional, or a partner invested in Canada’s mining future. Together, we honor the past, celebrate the present, and shape a sector that is innovative, resilient, and essential to our economy and communities.

OnMayor ’s Message of Welcome

Canadian Mining Expo 2026– Timmins, ON

behalf of Timmins City Council and our entire community, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 20th consecutive Annual Canadian Mining Expo. Reaching this important milestone is a testament to the resilience and innovation of the mining sector here in Timmins and across Northern Ontario. For over three decades, this event has brought together industry leaders, mining suppliers, Indigenous partners, and government representatives to share knowledge, showcase advancements in technology and sustainability, and build the relationships that move the industry forward.

Timmins has long been a cornerstone of Canada’s mining sector. From our rich gold-mining history to the modern, forward-looking operations of today, our community continues to play a vital role in responsible resource development.

We have seen significant momentum with major project designations at both the federal and provincial levels for Canada Nickel Company’s Crawford Project, underscoring the strategic importance of critical minerals development in our region. Ongoing developments in the nickel sector continue to position Timmins as a key player in the future of battery metals, with one of the most significant emerging nickel resources in North America.

At the same time, continued investment and the acquisition of regional assets by Discovery Silver Corp. signal long ‑term confidence in mining in Timmins – supporting sustained operations and economic opportunity in our community for generations to come.

Equally important is the work being done to ensure mining is both responsible and sustainable. The recently announced pilot project by STLLR Gold to support the reclamation of the historic Hollinger tailings – under Ontario’s new minerals recovery regime – stands as a strong example of environmental stewardship and our commitment to leaving a positive legacy for future generations.

Events like the Canadian Mining Expo highlight not only the expertise found here, but also the collaboration and dedication behind the scenes. This landmark year is made possible through the efforts of many, especially the volunteers and organizers who contribute countless hours to ensure the Expo’s continued growth and success.

Canadian

Mining Expo 2026– Timmins, ON

It is a privilege to welcome you to the Canadian Mining Expo in Timmins — a cornerstone event in Northern Ontario and a powerful showcase of Canada’s mining strength.

In a competitive global economy, success will be defined by how quickly and confidently we act — and Ontario is rising to that challenge. With world-class resources, a highly skilled workforce, and a clear commitment to responsible development, our province and its people are helping power economies and the technologies of the future.

With more than 400 exhibits, this Expo brings together industry leaders, innovators, workers, and communities to showcase the cutting-edge technologies transforming how we explore, extract, and process the minerals the world depends on. At a time when the demand for skilled labour is growing, this is how we build opportunity, by connecting people to meaningful, good-paying careers that support families and communities across the North.

Our government is accelerating responsible resource development by reducing permit timelines and enhancing predictability for investors. Through our “One Project, One Process” framework, we’re cutting red tape, speeding approvals, and helping projects move faster. We recognize this reform has elevated our standing in the world -- from 15th to second globally and number one in Canada for the best jurisdiction to attract mining investment.

With up to 40 new mines expected to come online by 2033, we are taking action to power the North by investing in the energy infrastructure needed to electrify our mining sector. This includes the Wawa to Porcupine transmission line, which will strengthen the northern grid, meet growing electricity demand, and boost economic development. We are also advancing the Greenstone transmission line, connecting the grid to the gateway of the Ring of Fire, and the Barrie–Sudbury line, which will significantly increase power flow to improve quality of life and unlock responsible resource development across Northern Ontario.

At PDAC, we launched consultations on a new Critical Mineral Strategy to deliver further reform for each stage of a mining project -- from early to advanced exploration, to the expansion of existing mines.

The work happening in Timmins and across Northern Ontario is central to that mission. Thank you to the organizers, exhibitors, First Nation leaders, and participants for your continued collaboration. Together, we are reinforcing our position as the world’s reliable partner in an increasingly uncertain world.

Fewplaces in Canada are as deeply connected to mining as the Timmins region. For more than a century, this community has helped power Ontario’s economy, build proud families, and shape Canada’s reputation as a global mining leader. That legacy continues today, and the future of mining in Timmins has never been brighter.

Timmins stands as a symbol of what northern Ontario does best: turning hard work, innovation and natural resource strength into enduring prosperity. From equipment manufacturing and supporting supply chains to transportation, engineering, energy, and environmental services, mining in northern Ontario continues to create high-quality jobs and business opportunities, sustaining communities across our region. That same story is playing out across the North, where mining remains a cornerstone of local economies and a critical driver of growth for Ontario and Canada.

It has never been more true now that the world’s economy is all about hard assets. Northern Ontario has these hard assets, including base metals, critical minerals, rare earths and precious metals. Our government understands the essential role mining and resource development play in our province’s economic future and the role we also play in the world’s economy. We have what the world needs. At the Ministry of Northern Economic Development

Message from Hon. George Pirie, Minister of Northern Economic Development & Growth

and Growth, that means focusing on strengthening communities and creating economic opportunity across northern Ontario to support the economy of the province and drive global progress.

The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC) remains one of our most important tools to do just that. Through the NOHFC, our government continues to invest in business expansion, workforce development, infrastructure, and innovation to support entrepreneurs, municipalities, and Indigenous communities as they build a more resilient northern economy. Since 2018, the NOHFC has helped drive significant investments into mining supply and services, approving more than $77 million in funding and generating over $240 million in additional investment, helping to position Northern Ontario for long-term success.

Taking a whole of Ontario approach to further deliver on this commitment, our government is acting to cut red tape, support responsible mine development, and create the strong conditions industries need to succeed.

This includes making the Northern Ontario Resource Development Support Fund permanent, a program that provides $15 million annually to help northern municipalities address the impacts of resource development, to bringing back the Ontario Northlander and reconnecting communities with safe and reliable passen-

ger rail service, and to our recent $125 million investment to establish the worldclass Ontario Mine Rescue Training Institute to strengthen safety and preparedness across the mining sector.

All together, these efforts go beyond infrastructure, regulations and training. They are about building strong, competitive northern communities and unlocking the full economic potential of the North.

Looking ahead, the story of mining in Timmins and across Northern Ontario is ultimately a story about confidence in our future. Confidence in the skills of northern workers, the strength of Indigenous partnerships, the ingenuity of entrepreneurs, and developing the worldclass resources beneath our feet.

Faced with Trump’s tariffs, we are pivoting quickly to reduce our dependency on U.S. markets, and as a people, Northerners and Canadians have never been more proud of who we are and what we stand for.

At a time when Ontario and Canada need reliable supply chains and secure access to critical resources, your work is critical, and our government is firmly in your corner. Side by side, we are opening new markets, standing up for industries that matter and building a northern economy that is competitive, resilient, and ready for the future.

In a rapidly changing world, Northern Ontario has the resources the world needs and is ready to lead.

DISCOVERY SILVER Partners with Canadian

Mining Expo to Grow Canada’s Premier Boots-on-theGround Mining Event

The partnership highlights Discovery’s commitment to Timmins and the continued growth of Northern Ontario’s mining industry.

Discovery Silver Corp. is proud to be recognized as the “Heart of Gold” Partner of the Canadian Mining Expo (CME), a premier industry gathering that showcases the strength, innovation, and global importance of Canada’s mining sector.

Held annually in Timmins, the Canadian Mining Expo has earned its reputation as Canada’s true bootson-the-ground mining show— bringing together mine operators, exploration companies, suppliers, contractors, investors, and Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners in the heart of one of the world’s most productive mining regions.

For Discovery, supporting the Expo is more than a partnership— it’s an investment in the people, companies, and communities that power Canada’s mining industry.

A Natural Fit for Discovery

Discovery may be a newer name among Canada’s major mining companies, but its leadership has deep roots in Northern Ontario’s mining community.

CEO Tony Makuch is well known throughout the Timmins mining camp, having previously served as President and CEO of Kirkland Lake Gold prior to its combination with Agnico Eagle Mines Limited. Earlier in his career, Makuch was also CEO of Lake Shore Gold, which operated the Timmins West mine before its acquisition by Pan American Silver Corp. That experience gives Discovery a unique appreciation for the role Timmins plays in Canada’s mining ecosystem.

“The Canadian Mining Expo represents the hardworking spirit of the mining industry,” said Makuch. “It’s where suppliers, operators, innovators, and communities come together to move the industry forward.”

Showcasing Northern Ontario to the World

For over 30 years, the Canadian Mining Expo has highlighted the importance of Northern Ontario’s mining industry to both Canada and the global resource sector. Unlike many large conferences that focus primarily on presentations and networking, CME delivers a hands-on experience where equipment, technology, and services are demonstrated in real-world conditions. From heavy equipment displays to technical innovations and exploration opportunities, the Expo creates a platform where real business gets done. This environment helps drive investment, build partnerships, and support the companies that supply and service Canada’s mines.

Supporting Jobs and Economic Growth

Events like the CME play an important role in sustaining economic activity across Northern Ontario. By bringing industry leaders and suppliers together in one place, the Expo helps generate new contracts, partnerships, and investments that support jobs throughout the region’s mining supply and service sector. Discovery recognizes that strong regional events are essential to maintaining the health and competitiveness of Canada’s mining industry.

Building the Future Together

The Canadian Mining Expo was established in 1994 by Canadian Trade-Ex, a Timmins-based organization dedicated to promoting Northern Ontario’s resource industries. Today, Canadian Trade-Ex produces two major industry events: the Canadian Mining Expo in Timmins and the CEN-CAN Expo in Thunder Bay. As the Expo continues to grow, Discovery Silver is excited to play a role in helping elevate the event to new heights.

KIDD CREEK’s Next Chapter: Discovery Silver Rewrites a Timmins Mining Legend

Makuch and the Discovery team share the vision of making the Canadian Mining Expo Canada’s largest and most influential mining event, with Timmins proudly hosting the industry for decades to come. By supporting the Canadian Mining Expo as the Heart of Gold Partner, Discovery Silver is helping ensure that this uniquely Northern Ontario event continues to connect the people, ideas, and technologies that drive the future of mining.

“The Canadian Mining Expo is one of the most authentic mining events in the country because it takes place right in the heart of a producing mining camp, and at the foot of one of Canada’s most iconic mine headframes (McIntyre Mine)” said Tony Makuch, CEO of Discovery Silver Corp.. “Timmins has always been a cornerstone of Canada’s mining industry, and Discovery Silver is proud to support an event that brings together suppliers, innovators, communities, and mining companies to help grow the industry for the next generation.”

“Events like the Canadian Mining Expo create real opportunities for Northern Ontario businesses,” Makuch added. “It’s where partnerships start, technologies are introduced, and companies that support mining can connect directly with operators. We’re excited to help grow the event and ensure Timmins continues to host the industry for many years to come.”

Discovery Silver’s agreement to acquire the Kidd Creek operations from Glencore Canada has opened an unexpected new chapter for a mine that was supposed to close by the end of 2026 — and it comes as the legendary copper-zinc-silver deposit approaches the 60th anniversary of the discovery that changed Timmins forever.

“Acquiring the Kidd Operations provides an opportunity to substantially increase our processing and tailings capacity and supports a growth trajectory that could more than double gold production in Timmins to over half a million ounces per year,” said president and CEO Tony Makuch.

The deal, announced in March 2026, means that a mine with roots stretching back to November 1963 will not go quietly. But to understand what Kidd Creek means, you have to go back to the beginning.

It was Thursday, November 7, 1963. Texas Gulf Sulphur Company exploration geologist Ken Darke directed a diamond drill crew to set up on the mineral anomaly known as Kidd 55, in the northeast section of Kidd Township, roughly 24 kilometres from Timmins. The very first hole was K-55-1. As core samples were pulled from the ground and placed in boxes, one displayed a length of solid copper nearly a foot long. Darke knew immediately he was standing on a major discovery.

It would become the Kidd Creek orebody — so huge and so rich it was a geological freak of nature. And it would be six months before Texas Gulf formally announced it. On April 16, 1964, a brief message flashed over the news wires confirming a major discovery of copper, zinc and silver. Timmins erupted.

“It set off the wildest stock exchange trading explosion in Canadian mining history,” recalled former (now deceased) Daily Press mining reporter and editor Gregory Reynolds. “You couldn’t get a hotel room anywhere in town. You couldn’t hire a diamond drill; they were all working. It was just unbelievable.”

The discovery arrived at a critical moment. Hollinger Consolidated Gold Mines, one of the city’s pillars, was winding down. Employee turnover had reached 30 per cent. Miners were looking for greener pastures, and the fall of 1963 had many people wondering whether Timmins had much of a future.

Tony Makuch, CEO of Discovery Silver Corp.

The answer came at the brokerage houses on Cedar Street, where pensioners and housewives rushed to buy shares in anything connected to Kidd Township. Broadcaster Dan Kelly moved his entire CKGB Radio setup into the Doherty Roadhouse stock brokerage and did quotes every half hour for six months. “All the prominent mining people in Ontario passed through those doors,” he said.

A staking rush swept the region. Prospectors Don McKinnon, John Larche and Fred Rousseau staked massive claim blocks north of the city and set up a round-the-clock hospitality suite at the Empire Hotel to auction them off. Geologists from Russia, South Africa and Australia came to see it. Everyone wanted to find another Texas Gulf. The mine was up and running by November 1966 — a timeline that would be unthinkable today. It started as an open pit and transitioned to underground operations in 1972, eventually developing through a series of expansions known as 1 Mine, 2 Mine, 3 Mine and Mine D, each driving deeper into the earth. In 2011, a $148-million expansion extended mining to the 9,500-foot level. Further pushes reached 9,600 feet in 2015 and 9,800 and 9,900 feet in 2021, making Kidd Creek the deepest base metal mine in the world, nearly three kilometres below surface.

The production numbers over nearly six decades are staggering: more than 772 million pounds of copper, 2.1 billion pounds of zinc and 400 million ounces of silver. The mine employed over 20,000 people across its lifetime, including multi-generational families who built their lives around it.

Texas Gulf was never unionized. The company had a policy of paying the highest local wages and treating employees like family — an approach that forced surrounding gold mines to raise their own pay and reveal longer ore reserve horizons to keep workers from crossing the street. The ripple effects reshaped the economy of the entire city.

“Within a year of the Texas Gulf discovery, you could see the whole complexion of Timmins change,” Kelly recalled. “People fixed up their houses. The whole community was brightened up. People had more confidence in the town.”

Ownership changed hands over the decades — from Texas Gulf to the Canada Development Corporation in 1981, to Falconbridge in 1986, and eventually to Glencore — but the mine’s importance to the community never wavered. Timmins has had a mine in continuous production since 1910, and Kidd Creek’s massive base metal output alongside the gold mines made the city resilient through recessions that battered communities elsewhere.

Now, as the mine approaches its 60th year of production, Discovery Silver’s acquisition signals that the story may be far from over. The deal brings with it well-maintained infrastructure, a large skilled workforce and a land package with exploration potential for copper, zinc, silver, critical minerals and gold. Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines, Stephen Lecce, calls it a testament to the province’s standing as a reliable mining jurisdiction.

Ontario Overhauls Critical Minerals Strategy, Adds Iron and Aluminum

Ontario updated its five year old Critical Minerals Strategy this year with a sweeping new vision paper that shifts the province’s focus away from electric vehicles and toward broader economic self-reliance, domestic supply chain security, and defence-sector readiness. The announcement, made at the annual Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada convention in Toronto in March, also includes the first ever expansion of Ontario’s Critical Minerals List, which now stands at 35 minerals with the addition of high-purity iron and aluminum.

“In the fight for Canadian jobs, we transformed one of the slowest mining permitting systems to one of the fastest, emerging in the top two globally for attracting mining investment,” said Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce. “Our new Critical Mineral Strategy will send a signal to the world: Ontario has a serious plan to build mines faster and create more jobs here at home.”

The vision paper, titled Fortifying Ontario’s Economy: A Plan to Accelerate Responsible Resource Development, is the opening move in a public consultation process designed to shape the next phase of the strategy. The province is seeking feedback from industry, Indigenous partners, communities, and the general public on priorities including workforce development, faster permitting, exploration support, innovation, and how to attract global capital while anchoring supply chains domestically.

Ontario’s original Critical Minerals Strategy launched in 2022 with a heavy emphasis on battery minerals and the electric vehicle supply chain. But the government says the geopolitical ground has shifted beneath that plan. Escalating trade tensions, U.S. tariffs, and supply chain disruptions have forced a broader rethink — one that now encompasses defence, aerospace, automotive, and advanced manufacturing alongside clean energy technologies.

The addition of high-purity iron and aluminum to the Critical Minerals List reflects that shift. High‑purity iron

is a key feedstock for electric arc furnace steelmaking — what the industry calls “green steel” — in Ontario’s mills. Aluminum underpins the province’s automotive, aerospace, and defence sectors. By including both, the government is signalling that critical mineral policy is no longer just about batteries.

“Ontario’s Critical Minerals Strategy has played an important role in advancing our government’s economic priorities and attracting job-creating investments in the advanced manufacturing, life sciences, tech, and defence sectors,” said Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade Vic Fedeli. “By modernizing the Strategy to include new metals and adapting the scope to meet the demands of a changing geopolitical landscape, we’re positioning the province for long-term resilience.” The province has also updated the criteria used to determine which minerals qualify for the list, aligning them more closely with the strategic needs of Ontario, Canada, and allied nations.

Since launching the original strategy, Ontario has made substantial progress on several fronts. The centrepiece reform has been the “One Project, One Process” framework, designed to cut red tape and target a 50 per cent reduction in government review timelines. Three projects have been designated under the framework so far: Frontier Lithium’s PAK lithium project in northwestern Ontario, Canada Nickel’s Crawford nickel project near Timmins, and Kinross Gold’s Great Bear project. Combined, the three represent more than 5,000 new jobs and an estimated $75 billion in economic value.

On the investment side, the province has committed $500 million through the Critical Minerals Processing Fund to build domestic processing capacity, and $25 million through the Critical Minerals Innovation Fund to support Ontario-based companies working on supply chain solutions. The Ontario Junior Exploration Program has backed more than 213 projects with $29.8 million in funding. The government has also invested

$70 million in the Indigenous Participation Fund and shared nearly $360 million through resource revenue sharing agreements since 2018.

Infrastructure spending has accompanied the policy push. The province is investing in new electricity transmission and generation, including refurbishing and expanding northern hydroelectric stations and building new transmission lines into the Ring of Fire region, as well as Sudbury, Thunder Bay, Timmins, and Dryden.

Industry reaction to the announcement was broadly positive. Canada Nickel CEO Mark Selby pointed to the Timmins Nickel District as a prime example of the opportunity at stake, noting that the company’s Crawford project is shovel-ready, Indigenous-partnered, and designed to be one of the world’s first net zero nickel operations. Glencore Canada’s chief operating officer for Canadian metals, Peter Xavier, highlighted his support for programs like the Critical Minerals Processing Fund and the Innovation Fund as tools to de-risk the larger investments needed for complex projects.

Robert Cudney, CEO of Juno Corp., made the case for the Ring of Fire specifically, pointing to the Vespa system discovery as evidence of world-class potential for iron, titanium, vanadium, scandium, and gallium. Trevor Walker, president and CEO of Frontier Lithium, tied the strategy to national defence, noting that critical minerals underpin military technologies from secure

communications and advanced electronics to energy storage and next-generation aerospace systems.

On the processing and downstream side, Electra Battery Materials CEO Trent Mell framed the announcement in terms of investor confidence, arguing that jurisdictions that move with clarity and coordination attract the capital needed to build strategic assets. Rock Tech Lithium CEO Mirco Wojnarowicz said his company’s Georgia Lake and Red Rock Converter projects are designed to anchor the kind of resource ‑to ‑ refined ‑ product domestic supply chain the strategy envisions.

The Ontario Mining Association, the Ontario Prospectors Association, the Ontario Chamber of Commerce, and Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) all issued statements supporting the strategy renewal. Dennis Darby, President and CEO of CME, noted that much of Ontario’s manufacturing sector depends on critical minerals and welcomed the added focus on iron and aluminum as a step toward more resilient and globally competitive supply chains.

The province currently has 37 active mining operations, the majority in Northern Ontario, including nine base metal mines producing nickel, copper, and zinc. Another 33 significant projects are in the pipeline. Ontario remains the mining finance capital of the world, with 40 per cent of all publicly listed mining companies worldwide listed on the Toronto exchanges, carrying a combined market value exceeding $1.1 trillion in 2025.

The mining sector supports 28,000 direct jobs and 46,000 indirect jobs through associated processing and supply services.

Key legislative reforms under the existing strategy include the Building More Mines Act and the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, both of which were cited as enabling the permitting and regulatory changes that have improved the province’s investment climate.

The consultation process is now open, and the government says feedback will be instrumental in calibrating the next phase of the strategy to respond to global shifts while maintaining Ontario’s position as one of the most attractive mining jurisdictions in the G7.

AGNICO EAGLE driving underground at Detour Lake as Macassa holds grade at Kirkland Lake

Agnico Eagle Mines is building toward a future where its flagship Detour Lake operation near Cochrane produces one million ounces of gold annually from a combined open pit and underground mine — and the company is spending $62 million this year to get there. A $100-million underground exploration ramp, approved in 2024 and under excavation since July 2025, had reached 569 metres in length and 90 metres in depth by year-end. The company expects the ramp to extend to two kilometres and a depth of roughly 270 metres by the end of 2026, where it will collect a bulk sample and support infill and expansion drilling into what has become one of the highest-grade underground gold corridors in Canada.

“What excites me most is the depth and quality of our growth pipeline, which has the potential to increase annual gold production by 20% to 30% over the next decade,” said president and CEO Ammar Al-Joundi.

That growth pipeline is anchored in the numbers. At Detour Lake, the company converted 1.9 million ounces of inferred resources into the indicated category through 2025, bringing total measured and indicated mineral resources to 17.2 million ounces at 0.79 g/t gold across 675 million tonnes. More telling is what sits below and to the west of the existing resource pit:

3.5 million ounces at a substantially higher grade of 2.04 g/t, part of a deeper corridor now containing 5.5 million ounces of indicated resources at 2.00 g/t and 5.8 million ounces of inferred resources at 2.02 g/t.

The company is assessing the potential to begin ramping up underground production as early as 2028, when initial ore would be trucked to the existing mill and could contribute 20,000 to 30,000 ounces per year in the first two years. Three major seven day mill shutdowns are scheduled at the surface operation in 2026 for regular maintenance. Meanwhile, 300 kilometres to the east in Kirkland Lake, the Macassa mine continues to demonstrate why it remains the company’s highest-grade reserve. Proven and probable mineral reserves at Macassa stood at 2.2 million ounces at 7.77 g/t gold across 8.8 million tonnes at year-end, with the core Macassa deposit grading 8.84 g/t — comfortably among the richest underground gold deposits in Canada. The Main Break and SMC zones, together with the adjacent Near Surface and AK deposits, replaced 101 per cent of mining depletion in 2025, offsetting a combined 321,000 ounces of in-situ gold mined during the year.

All exploration drilling at Macassa in 2025 was conducted from underground, totalling 210,679 metres focused on the SMC and Main Break zones and the AK deposit. The SMC zone, currently the main source of mill feed, continues to grow westward toward the No. 3 shaft and at depth in the No. 2 and No. 4 shaft areas, while Main Break mineralization is being extended to the east at approximately 2,000 metres below surface. The company has budgeted $36.5 million for 202,000 metres of capitalized drilling at Macassa in 2026 to increase and upgrade mineral resources.

Production guidance at Macassa for 2026 was revised modestly lower due to the deferral of initial production from the AK deposit. An amendment to the

LZ5 processing facility permit at LaRonde — modified in 2025 to handle AK ore — is expected shortly, with trucking and processing planned to begin in the second quarter. AK production is forecast at roughly 45,000 ounces this year and 50,000 to 60,000 ounces annually in 2027 and 2028.

At the corporate level, the two Ontario operations are part of a global portfolio that posted a two per cent yearover-year increase in mineral reserves to 55.4 million ounces, with indicated mineral resources climbing 10 per cent to 47.1 million ounces and inferred resources rising 15 per cent to 41.8 million ounces. The company ran an average of 120 diamond drill rigs through 2025 and completed 1.4 million metres of core drilling across all properties. Gold production is forecast to hold at 3.3 to 3.5 million ounces annually through 2028, with the longer-term trajectory targeting more than four million ounces per year by the early 2030s — a milestone that would require both the Detour underground and a sustained high-grade contribution from Macassa to reach.

Agnico Eagle is headquartered in Toronto and operates mines in Canada, Australia, Finland and Mexico. The company has declared a cash dividend every year since 1983.

IAMGOLD’s Côté hits records and lays expansion groundwork near Gogama

IAMGOLD’s Côté Gold mine, 20 km southwest of Gogama, closed out 2025 with the strongest quarter in its young operating history and entered 2026 with a clear two-track agenda: stabilize the operation at nameplate while laying the groundwork for a major expansion that could combine the Côté and Gosselin deposits into a single large pit. The fourth quarter of 2025 produced 87,200 attributable ounces — the highest quarterly output in the mine’s history — and the full year delivered 279,900 attributable ounces, hitting the top end of the company’s guidance range.

“I would like to commend our operations teams for an incredible fourth quarter as each of our mines reported record results, at an opportune time when the gold price is setting new highs and as IAMGOLD accelerates into its position as a strong mid-tier modern gold producer with significant cashflow generation and organic growth potential,” said president and CEO Renaud Adams.

The Q4 numbers underline the operational stabilisation. Mining activity

totalled 11.1 million tonnes, including a record 4.5 million tonnes of ore at an average grade of 1.04 g/t gold — the highest grade mined to date at Côté. The mill processed 2.9 million tonnes at record average head grades of 1.44 g/t with recoveries of 94 per cent. Installation of a second secondary crusher was completed in November and commissioned in December, with both cone crushers tested and running in parallel by year-end. The mill had previously achieved its 36,000-tonne-per-day nameplate throughput over thirty consecutive days in June, ahead of schedule.

For 2026, IAMGOLD expects Côté to produce between 270,000 and 310,000 attributable ounces, based on an average mill throughput of 36,000 tpd and head grades of 1.00 to 1.10 g/t gold. Production is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year as the mine sequence moves into highergrade areas.

Mining activity for 2026 is forecast at 52 million tonnes, including

a strategic pit pushback designed to widen the operating area and provide flexibility for a larger mine plan. Cash costs at Côté, excluding royalties, are guided at $900 to $1,050 per ounce sold; including royalties at a $4,000 gold price assumption, costs are estimated at $1,200 to $1,350 per ounce.

“Turning the page to 2026, it is going to be a very exciting year for IAMGOLD as we continue to build on the momentum at Côté, Westwood and Essakane,” Adams said. The Côté specific framing followed: “At Côté, the operations team this year will be focusing on unit cost improvement through stable and

efficient mining and milling practices. It is important for our team to be able to operate Côté within expected specifications before we expand the operation further.”

The bigger story for Côté in 2026, however, is the groundwork being laid for that expansion. IAMGOLD plans to spend approximately $120 million in expansion capital at Côté in 2026, primarily on the strategic pushback. Early construction work includes basic mill infrastructure and an additional Vertimill expected to be in service in early 2027. The projects team is advancing an expansion study, expected later in 2026, that envisions mining the Côté and Gosselin deposits as a single large pit. The combined resource base — part of a broader camp that includes the Nelligan Mining Complex — comprises 16 million ounces of measured and indicated resources and four million ounces of inferred resources.

“Meanwhile our projects team is pushing full steam ahead on the expansion study mine plan later this

year that will outline an increase to Côté Gold’s throughput targeting the Côté and Gosselin zones as a single large pit based on a subset of the 16 million ounces of Measured and Indicated Resources and four million ounces of Inferred Resources,” Adams said.

Company-wide, the operational record at Côté translated into record financial performance for IAMGOLD. The company reported full-year revenues of $2.85 billion on gold sales of 817,800 ounces at an average realised price of $3,480 per ounce. Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.55 billion and mine site free cash flow hit $1.2 billion. IAMGOLD used that cash to cut net debt by $515 million to $344 million, repaying a $300-million second-lien term loan and $50 million on its credit facility.

The company also launched a share buyback program, purchasing 3 million shares for $50 million in the fourth quarter and a further 2.6 million shares for $50 million after quarter-end. Available liquidity stood at $869 million at year-end.

For 2026, the company guides consolidated attributable production of 720,000 to 820,000 ounces at all-in sustaining costs of $2,000 to $2,150 per ounce, with sustaining capital budgeted at approximately $380 million — $160 million of that earmarked for Côté on an attributable basis, an increase from the prior year reflecting non recurring plant and infrastructure modifications. Exploration spending at Côté is modest at roughly $5 million, with the bulk of IAMGOLD’s $54-million exploration budget directed toward the adjacent Nelligan Complex at $24 million.

IAMGOLD operates Côté Gold through a joint venture in which it holds a 70 per cent interest, with Sumitomo Metal Mining holding the remaining 30 per cent. Côté is one of Canada’s newest large-scale gold operations and, with the Gosselin and Nelligan resources sitting in the same district, the company is positioning the entire camp as a longlife, multi-source production centre.

CANADA NICKEL advances Crawford toward construction

Asthe global race for critical minerals intensifies, Canada Nickel Company is positioning itself not just as a mining giant, but as a vanguard for the next generation of responsible industrial materials. With the Crawford Nickel Sulphide Project — the world’s second-largest nickel resource and reserve — anchoring its portfolio, recent weeks have seen the company clear significant hurdles on its path to beginning construction by the end of 2026.

The most significant regulatory development this year came on March 5, when the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada formally commenced the Impact Assessment phase for Crawford under the federal Impact Assessment Act. The company had submitted its Impact Statement in November 2024, received IAAC comments the following May, and filed responses in late December 2025. IAAC’s notice ended the Impact Statement phase and initiated the assessment itself, which will produce a draft report and potential conditions for public comment before going to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Canada Nickel expects a federal permitting decision by summer 2026.

“Today’s announcement with Hydro One represents an important step in advancing the Crawford Nickel Project,” said CEO Mark Selby. “This collaboration underscores our commitment to responsible development and partnership with Indigenous communities.” Selby was referring to a pair of agreements signed on March 9 with Hydro One Networks as part of the Ontario Energy Board’s approved connection process. Under the agreements, Hydro One will carry out detailed engineering and design work for the line terminal and station entrance at its Porcupine Station, including procurement of long-lead equipment such as a 230-kV circuit breaker. The transmission line connecting Crawford to Porcupine Station is planned to be built through a partnership with Taykwa Tagamou Nation. Once engineering wraps up, the company will enter a final agreement for Hydro One to begin station construction.

The year opened with the January 26 appointment of Ausenco Engineering Canada as the lead consultant for detailed engineering of Crawford’s process plant and supporting infrastructure. Ausenco has been involved in the project since the 2020 preliminary economic assessment and also led the 2023 feasibility study and 2025 front-end engineering and design work, which outlined a net present value of US$2.8 billion at an eight per cent discount rate, a 17.6 per cent internal rate of return, and a mine life of approximately 41 years.

On the financing front, Canada Nickel arranged and closed a US$32‑ million bridge loan facility with Auramet International in early February. The loan, due May 9, carries a one per cent monthly interest rate and a 2.5 per cent arrangement fee. Proceeds are being used to advance Crawford and repay an existing loan. Auramet received 1.75 million one-year warrants at an exercise price of $2.03.

In a less conventional but strategically important development,

Canada Nickel and the University of Texas at Austin announced on February 19 that they had completed an in-situ carbon sequestration pilot at Crawford. The field test, conducted between mid-November and midDecember 2025, injected CO2-rich water between 350 and 396 metres depth and successfully stored roughly 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide, with no surface leakage detected. The pilot was funded through the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARPA-E program and will inform post-mining carbon storage strategies as part of the company’s broader vision for a zero-carbon industrial cluster near Timmins.

Beyond Crawford, Canada Nickel continued advancing its regional nickel portfolio. On February 26, mineralogical results from the Midlothian property — 64 km southwest of Timmins and 20 km west of Matachewan — confirmed that up to 79 per cent of nickel content occurs as awaruite, a naturally occurring nickel-iron alloy that simplifies processing. Midlothian carries the highest average nickel grade in the company’s portfolio at 0.28 per cent, with total nickel grades more than 30 per cent above other leading awaruite deposits, and brucite content averaging 5.6 per cent — more than 2.5 times higher than Crawford, pointing to strong carbon storage potential. Technical reports supporting initial resources at Midlothian and Bannockburn were filed in early February, followed by an updated resource report for the Reid project on February 27 reflecting a 46 per cent increase in measured and indicated resources.

Canada Nickel is a nickel exploration and development company building out the Timmins Nickel District, which the company believes has the potential to become one of the largest nickel sulphide districts in the world. Crawford, 42 km north of Timmins, is the flagship asset. Strategic investors include Agnico Eagle, Samsung SDI, Anglo American, and Taykwa Tagamou Nation.

UNLOCKING THE POTENTIAL OF THE TIMMINS NICKEL DISTRICT

ALAMOS GOLD Builds for the Next Decade

Alamos Gold is entering a defining stretch. In 2026, the company is advancing three major priorities at once: expanding its cornerstone asset in northern Ontario, shepherding a new Canadian project through federal review, and pursuing a high-stakes international arbitration case. Taken together, these efforts position the company at a critical inflection point — one that could shape its production profile and valuation well into the next decade.

EXPANSION AT ISLAND GOLD:

The Engine of Future Growth

The most immediate and impactful development is the Island Gold District (IGD) Expansion near Dubreuilville. Already one of Canada’s highest-grade underground gold mines, Island Gold is being pushed deeper and scaled up to significantly increase throughput. This expansion is expected to transform Island Gold into one of the lowest-cost and most productive underground gold operations in the country.

YOUNG-DAVIDSON:

The Steady Backbone

While Island Gold represents the future, the Young-Davidson Mine continues to serve as a foundational asset in Alamos Gold’s portfolio. As one of the largest underground gold mines in Canada, Young-Davidson provides consistent, long-life production supported by extensive underground infrastructure and a large mineral reserve base. Its steady output plays a critical balancing role — generating reliable cash flow that helps fund expansion at Island Gold and supports advancement of development projects like Lynn Lake. In many respects, Young-Davidson is the operational anchor that allows Alamos to pursue growth without overextending risk. Together with

the Mulatos district in Sonora, these operations give Alamos a diversified and resilient North American production platform.

LYNN LAKE: The Next Canadian Mine in Waiting

In Manitoba, the Lynn Lake gold project represents Alamos Gold’s most important greenfield opportunity. Currently in the technical review phase with the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, the project is progressing through a rigorous permitting process. Alamos has emphasized a “precautionary” and detailed approach in its submissions, outlining mitigation strategies and adaptive management plans. If approved, Lynn Lake could become Alamos’s fourth producing mine and a meaningful contributor by the late 2020s — further strengthening its Canadian production base.

TÜRKIYE ARBITRATION: A Billion-Dollar Wildcard

Beyond North America, Alamos is pursuing a $1 billion international arbitration claim against the Türkiye over the cancelled Kirazlı mining permit. The company maintains it met all legal requirements and had already invested approximately $250 million into the project. While arbitration cases move slowly, the financial stakes remain significant.

A major milestone at Island Gold, and one made possible by the people behind it

A FIVE-YEAR OUTLOOK: Growth, Stability, and Strategic Balance

Looking ahead to 2030, Alamos Gold’s trajectory will likely be defined by three key outcomes:

- Island Gold reaching full expanded capacity, driving production growth and lowering costs

- Young-Davidson continuing as a long-life, stable producer, underpinning cash flow and operational consistency

- Lynn Lake securing approval and entering construction, adding a new Canadian production stream

- Resolution of the Türkiye arbitration, clarifying financial exposure and potential upside

If these elements align, Alamos could emerge as a larger, more Canadafocused producer with a strong balance between growth and stability.

WHY IT MATTERS FOR NORTHERN ONTARIO

For northern Ontario, particularly communities near Dubreuilville and Matachewan, Alamos Gold remains a cornerstone employer and economic driver. The combined strength of Island Gold and Young-Davidson supports long-term employment, regional investment, and ongoing development in one of Canada’s most active mining corridors.

BOTTOM LINE

Alamos Gold is not just growing — it is doing so on a foundation of stability. With the expansion of Island Gold, the reliability of Young-Davidson, the potential of Lynn Lake, and the unresolved Türkiye arbitration, the company is balancing opportunity with discipline. The next five years will determine whether it evolves from a strong mid-tier producer into a leading force in Canada’s gold mining sector.

Ontario Backs 68 Junior Exploration Projects Through OJEP Funding Round

TheOntario government put its money where its mouth is this spring. The Ford government threw its support behind 68 early-stage exploration projects through the latest round of the Ontario Junior Exploration Program, directing support to junior mining companies and licensed prospectors working across northern and rural parts of the province. The investment is expected to sustain 71 jobs in 2026 and generate an estimated $18 million in total economic output as recipients advance work on critical mineral and precious metal targets. “To boost Canada’s self-reliance, Ontario is investing heavily in early exploration to build a pipeline for new mines and new jobs,” said Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce. He pointed to the province’s overhauled permitting system and its position as the top jurisdiction in Canada for early exploration investment as evidence the strategy is gaining traction.

The OJEP program covers up to 50 per cent of eligible exploration and development costs. Junior mining companies can receive up to $215,000 per project, while prospectors can access up to $65,000, with both figures including enhanced Indigenous Participation Support introduced in recent rounds. Since the program’s inception, Ontario has invested $30 million across previous OJEP rounds, supporting 213 companies in financing early exploration, with 165 of those projects focused on critical minerals.

The funding comes as the prov-

ince consults on a modernized Critical Minerals Strategy aimed at positioning Ontario as a reliable global supplier of responsibly sourced critical minerals. The government has also committed $500 million to a new Critical Minerals Processing Fund designed to ensure minerals mined in the province are processed domestically by Ontario workers. A new streamlined permitting framework known as “One Project, One Process” is intended to cut government approval timelines by 50 per cent for advanced exploration and mine development.

Several recipients highlighted the practical impact of the program on their field work. New Break Resources credited OJEP support with helping fund a maiden drilling program at its Moray gold project, 50 km southeast of Timmins, where the company made a significant gold discovery in the third quarter of 2025. “Exploration work at Moray over the previous three years had been materially augmented through OJEP funding, and this year’s grant helped to fund our gold discovery,” said President Michael Farrant. The company has already begun 2026 drilling at Moray. Near Wawa, RPX Gold used OJEP funding to help complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment at its brownfield Wawa Gold Project. “The program enabled the project to advance exploration more efficiently and demonstrate the potential economic viability of redeveloping the historic site,” said President and CEO Michael Michaud.

In Sudbury, SPC Nickel is applying OJEP support to its Lockerby East property. “Against today’s backdrop of global uncertainty and growing demand for critical minerals from safe jurisdictions, OJEP is more important than ever in enabling junior companies to continue to progress promising targets,” said CEO Grant Mourre.

First Class Metals, a four-year participant in the program, said the funding has made a meaningful difference in advancing exploration across its Ontario properties. “OJEP represents more than support for prospectors and companies like ours — it is an investment in Ontario’s future as a global leader in responsible mineral exploration and development,” said CEO Marc Sale.

The program supports exploration across a range of commodities including lithium, nickel, copper, and rare earth elements. Ontario currently has roughly 200 companies actively exploring more than 300 projects across the province, the majority in the north. In 2024, the province recorded approximately $1.1 billion in mineral exploration and deposit appraisal spending — the highest in Canada for several consecutive years. The government says every dollar of OJEP public funding has leveraged more than two dollars in private sector investment.

Industry groups welcomed the latest round. “Exploration is where the mines of tomorrow begin,” said Ontario Mining Association President Priya Tandon. The Ontario Prospectors Association called the program essential to maintaining the province’s competitive edge, while MineConnect noted that every project that advances generates demand for the specialized products and services its member companies provide across the Ontario mining supply chain.

WESDOME posts steady Q1 at Eagle River and Kiena after record 2025

Wesdome

Gold Mines has reported first‑ quarter 2026 gold production of 45,303 ounces from its Eagle River and Kiena operations, essentially flat against the 45,692 ounces produced a year earlier and on pace with the company’s full-year targets. The steady start follows the strongest year in Wesdome’s history, with 2025 revenue of $914 million — up 64 per cent — and net income of $349 million on record production of 185,575 ounces.

“First quarter results were solid, in line with our expectations and on track for the full year,” said President and CEO Anthea Bath.

Eagle River, near Wawa, contributed 27,846 ounces in the quarter, slightly below last year as lower grades offset higher throughput. Kiena, near Val-d’Or in Quebec, produced 17,457 ounces, reflecting improved mining rates and more consistent operations. Ore milled climbed at both sites — up 20 per cent year over year at Eagle River and 13 per cent at Kiena — partly offset by lower average grades.

The 2026 production profile remains weighted toward the second half, with about 60 per cent of Kiena’s annual output expected later in the year as additional mining areas come online. At Eagle River, operations continue to advance toward a “fill the mill” strategy, with throughput approaching 800 tonnes per day. At Kiena, mining and processing stabilized during the quar-

ter, supported by concurrent stoping in deeper zones. The company also secured a key permit for the Presqu’île zone, with the first stope scheduled for late June — a milestone management says reduces risk for second-half production. Gold sales totalled 45,600 ounces, slightly ahead of production.

The quarterly update builds on a 2025 year that exceeded guidance on every major metric. Eagle River delivered 112,768 ounces last year, a 19 per cent increase driven by a three per cent rise in grade and a 16 per cent lift in mill throughput. Free cash flow more than doubled to $278 million, operating cash flow reached $457 million, and the year-end cash balance climbed to $354 million — nearly triple the $123 million held twelve months earlier. With no debt and an undrawn US$250 million revolving credit facility, Wesdome entered 2026 with $697 million in total liquidity.

“Financially, this was a very strong quarter for Wesdome, and it caps off the best year in the history,” said President and CEO Anthea Bath. “We produced more gold than ever before, and we did it safely with zero LTIs recorded during the year.”

For the current year, the company has guided consolidated production of 180,000 to 205,000 ounces at cash costs of US$1,050 to US$1,150 per ounce and all-in sustaining costs of US$1,525 to US$1,700. Eagle River is expected to contribute 105,000

to 115,000 ounces at grades of 13.0 to 14.0 grams per tonne, with output split evenly across the year. Kiena is targeting 75,000 to 90,000 ounces — a 13 per cent increase at the midpoint — aided by incremental ore from Presqu’île, a near-surface deposit with direct ramp access that received its updated Certificate of Authorization and mine lease in early February. Once fully ramped up, the zone is expected to deliver 250 to 400 tonnes per day to the Kiena mill.

Exploration spending steps up in 2026 with a record $55-million program covering more than 270,000 metres of drilling. The campaign is designed to extend reserve life and test near-mine growth, including down-plunge extensions at Kiena Deep and Eagle River, bulk-tonnage potential at Kiena, and open-pit targets at Eagle River satellites. A late-March update from the Kiena Deep A and Footwall zones identified six new lenses — three of them high grade — while refined modelling added three more to the B Zone near existing infrastructure. Assuming gold prices below US$4,000 per ounce, Wesdome expects to generate roughly $350 million in free cash flow in 2026, with each US$100 per ounce move in gold prices shifting that figure by about $20 million.

During the quarter, the company deployed $49 million to repurchase 2.1 million shares, largely completing its current buyback program. It also confirmed the appointment of Tyler Mitchelson as full-time Chief Operating Officer following an interim period. Full Q1 financial results are scheduled for release on May 12, with a webcast the following morning.

Wesdome operates two underground gold mines in Canada: Eagle River, in continuous production in the Wawa gold camp since 1995, and Kiena, in Quebec’s Abitibi greenstone belt, restarted in 2023 and ramping toward full capacity under the fill the mill strategy.

Come build your future with us!

Located just 50 km west of Wawa, Ontario, Eagle River Mine has been producing gold since 1995. We’re committed to operational excellence while prioritizing the safety, care, and well-being of our people—and the communities where we operate.

GFG RESOURCES: District - Scale Gold Potential in the Heart of Timmins

Asthe Timmins mining community comes together for this year’s Canadian Mining Expo, one of the standout stories belongs to GFG Resources Inc.—a North American gold exploration company focused on district-scale opportunities within the world- class Timmins Mining District of Ontario. GFG’s presence in Timmins reflects both the company’s strategic vision and the enduring strength of one of Canada’s most prolific gold camps. The company’s portfolio comprises three major gold assets—Goldarm, Pen, and Dore—each positioned within or adjacent to geological settings that have hosted major discoveries in the Timmins District. These assets collectively span hundreds of square kilometres and offer expansive opportunities for discovery- driven exploration. The Goldarm Property encompasses a significant land package east of the Timmins Gold Camp, bringing together historic mining claims such as Montclerg, the WWCC Property, and the Aljo Mine area. This consolidated area covers prospective structural corridors with a long history of gold occurrences and exploration potential.

Brian Skanderbeg, President and Chief Executive Officer GFG Resources Inc.

Meanwhile, the Pen Gold Project lies about 50 kilometres southwest of Timmins and straddles a 40 -kilometre section of Archean greenstone that is geologically analogous to major gold-hosting systems nearby. The Dore Gold Project sits roughly 40 kilometres east of Newmont’s Borden Gold Mine and forms part of a vast 205 - square - kilometre land position with additional exploration upside.

GFG’s exploration efforts have been underpinned by recent drilling successes and a disciplined, discovery- driven approach. Notably, the company reported strong intercepts at its Aljo Gold Project within the Goldarm Property, including broad zones of mineralization that suggest continuity and expansion potential across multiple geological zones. Plans are in place to build on these results with aggressive 2026 exploration campaigns aimed at infill and regional expansion drilling.

The company also benefits from external support. In mid-2025, GFG received a C$200,000 grant from the Ontario Junior Exploration Program to help advance its exploration work in the Timmins Gold District, supporting drilling and geophysical programs that feed into discovery targets. With its leadership team focused on maximizing capital in the ground to create shareholder value, GFG combines significant land positions with an exploration strategy tailored to uncovering new gold systems in underexplored parts of the district.

The company’s role as a guest speaker at the Canadian Mining Expo during the Projects in the Pipeline Conference on June 11 underscores not only its progress but the broader confidence the industry places in Timmins as a hub for gold exploration and development. For investors, project generators, and explorers alike, GFG’s story demonstrates how district-scale assets and disciplined exploration can position a company for discovery in one of Canada’s most celebrated gold regions.

As Timmins continues to shape Canada’s mining narrative, GFG Resources stands out as a compelling example of how strategic, aggressive exploration can unlock the next chapter of gold potential in Northern Ontario. “Our vision is simple: unlock the full gold potential of the Timmins District by combining strategic land positions with a disciplined, discovery-driven exploration approach. Being part of the Canadian Mining Expo allows us to share our progress, connect with industry peers, and highlight why Timmins remains one of the world’s most exciting gold districts.”

GALLEON GOLD Advances

West Cache Project and Joins Canadian Mining Expo

Speaker Lineup

Galleon Gold Corp. continues to make significant progress at its 100%-owned West Cache Gold Project in Timmins, Ontario, marking an important milestone in the company’s strategy to advance one of the region’s most promising emerging gold projects.

In early March, Galleon Gold announced it had received the Category 3 Permit to Take Water (PTTW) from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP). The permit represents a key regulatory approval and allows the company to begin primary excavation of the box cut, the critical first step toward establishing under-

ground access at West Cache.

The box cut will create the portal location for ramp development, which will ultimately provide underground access for the company’s planned 86,500-tonne bulk sample program. The bulk sample is a central component of Galleon Gold’s development strategy, designed to validate grade continuity, assess mining conditions, and confirm important economic assumptions as the project advances toward potential future production.

“With this approval secured, we are advancing the primary excavation of the box cut, the gateway to underground access,” said David

Russell, President and CEO of Galleon Gold, when announcing the milestone. “Our bulk sample is central to our strategy, providing the opportunity to validate grade continuity, assess mining conditions, and confirm critical economic assumptions. Successful execution of this program will materially de-risk the West Cache Project and position Galleon Gold for its next phase of growth.”

The Category 3 PTTW includes comprehensive monitoring, reporting, mitigation, and adaptive management conditions to ensure the protection of surface water and groundwater resources. In addition, the company has also received its

Surface construction activities at the project remain on schedule. Work completed to date includes site clearing and grubbing, installation of erosion and sediment control systems, upgrades to site access roads and laydown areas, earthworks in preparation for portal development, and hydro pole and line installation, which is approximately 60 percent complete.

Located approximately 7 kilometres northeast of Pan American Silver’s Timmins West Mine and 14 kilometres southwest of the historic Hollinger Mine, the West Cache Gold Project sits in the heart of the prolific Timmins Gold Camp. The project covers roughly 11,600 hectares along the Destor-Porcupine Fault Zone within the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, one of the most productive gold belts in the world.

The current Mineral Resource Estimate lies within a favourable litho-

structural corridor extending more than 5 kilometres along strike, with mineralization open in multiple directions and at depth. The mining lease area hosts the current resource near its center, while additional exploration targets remain to the north and south.

As development progresses, Galleon Gold will also be sharing project updates with the mining community at several industry events throughout the year. The company will be one of 12 featured speakers at the “Projects in the Pipeline” Conference during the Canadian Mining Expo in Timmins on June 11, 2026.

At the conference, Galleon Gold will provide an overview of the West Cache Gold Project, discuss recent development milestones, and outline the next steps leading into the bulk sample program and continued exploration.

The Canadian Mining Expo has become one of Northern Ontario’s most important mining indus -

try events, bringing together mining companies, suppliers, investors, and community stakeholders to discuss the future of the sector. Galleon Gold’s participation highlights the growing momentum behind the West Cache project and its potential role in the continued growth of the Timmins mining district.

With regulatory approvals advancing, construction underway, and a bulk sample program on the horizon, 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal year for Galleon Gold as it works to unlock the long-term value of the West Cache Gold Project.

STLLR lands Ontario’s first tailings permit and Tower high grades near Timmins

STLLR Gold is advancing on two fronts in the Timmins camp, becoming the first company in Ontario to secure a permit under the province’s new Recovery of Minerals framework while also returning the highest-grade drill results to date along the western strike extension of the Jonpol Deposit at its Tower Gold Project east of the city.

“Today marks a defining moment for STLLR and for Ontario’s new Recovery of Minerals framework,” said president and CEO Keyvan Salehi when the Hollinger Tailings permit was issued on February 12. “As the first company in the province to secure a permit under this new system, we believe this achievement highlights both the quality of the Hollinger opportunity and our team’s ability to execute.”

The permit authorises additional technical work toward reprocessing an estimated 50 to 60 million tonnes of century-old tailings from the legendary Hollinger Mine, which produced 19 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 9.9 g/t between 1910 and 1968. The Recovery of Minerals regime, enacted by the Ontario

government in July 2025, is designed to streamline permitting for responsible mineral recovery and environmental remediation at historical mine sites. Rather than requiring a full closure plan, the framework offers a faster path for companies looking to extract residual value from legacy tailings while cleaning up longstanding environmental liabilities. STLLR is the first to test the system, and the permit signals early regulatory confidence in the approach. The permit builds on a busy start to the year. On January 9, STLLR filed a technical report on SEDAR+ supporting the maiden mineral resource estimate for Hollinger, first announced in late November 2025. That estimate, prepared by WSP Canada Inc., outlined a total indicated resource of 36.2 million tonnes grading 0.35 g/t gold for 412,000 ounces, with an additional inferred resource of 7.7 million tonnes at 0.37 g/t gold for 93,000 ounces. Roughly 82 per cent of the total ounces fall in the indicated category — a strong conversion rate for a maiden estimate. Within that resource, a higher-grade Phase 1 component hosts 16.1 million tonnes grading 0.41 g/t gold for 212,000 indicated ounces.

Metallurgical testing returned 61.3 per cent gold recovery through conventional cyanide leaching and an alternative flotation test that achieved 82.5 per cent recovery on an 11.7 per cent mass pull. The company has noted that processing facilities with excess capacity exist near the project, and discussions with area mill operators are ongoing. The tailings stack covers an area roughly 1,950 metres long and 1,250 metres wide, reaching up to 40 metres thick in the southwest corner — a near-surface deposit that lends itself to straightforward extraction if economics and permitting align.

While Hollinger advances on the regulatory front, STLLR also reported the first set of assay results from its 2026 drilling program at the Jonpol Deposit on the Garrison Property of the Tower Gold Project, in the Timmins camp east of the city. Hole MGA26-248 returned 16.52 g/t gold uncut, or 9.22 g/t cut, over 5.85 metres, with a true thickness of 3.30 metres. Hole MGA26 ‑251 returned 1.46 g/t gold over 22.65 metres,

including 5.27 g/t over 3.15 metres. Both intercepts exceed the current average open-pit grades at Jonpol in the Tower mineral resource estimate. “These outstanding highgrade, near-surface results further strengthen our confidence that Jonpol will be a major value driver for the Tower Gold Project,” Salehi said. He added that the company is actively advancing exploration along the Jonpol extension, where it sees an opportunity to expand the open-pit strike length from 400 metres as currently defined in the Tower preliminary economic assessment to approximately 1,200 metres. The 2026 drill program calls for an estimated 8,000 metres of drilling in the first half of the year, with the majority targeting the western extension of Jonpol’s open-pit mineralization. Jonpol remains open along strike and at depth.

The company also strengthened its leadership team in January with the appointment of Kristen Picavet as vice president, human resources. Picavet brings more than a decade of mining-sector HR experience, most recently with Kirkland Lake Gold and its successor, Agnico Eagle Mines, where she supported the executive team through several major organizational transitions.

With gold trading near US$5,000 per ounce, STLLR sees Hollinger as a potential low-capital, nearterm cash flow opportunity that could help fund its broader development pipeline. That pipeline includes the Tower Gold Project east of Timmins near Matheson and the Colomac Gold Project north of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Management has framed Hollinger as a project that can deliver both environmental remediation and capital efficient growth — cleaning up a century-old site while generating revenue to advance the company’s other assets.

Beyond Gold: MAGRIS TALC’s

Penhorwood Mine

and Northern Ontario’s Industrial Strength

AsTimmins prepares to host the Canadian Mining Expo, attention once again turns to the region’s long-standing reputation as a gold mining hub. Yet just down the highway, another operation is quietly demonstrating the diversity and evolving importance of Northern Ontario’s mining sector.

Operated by Magris Talc, the Penhorwood mine offers a different perspective on mining—one centered on industrial minerals that play a vital role in modern manufacturing.

Located approximately 70 kilometres southwest of Timmins near Foleyet, the Penhorwood Mine has been in continuous operation for more than 40 years. The open-pit site extracts high-quality talc ore, which is processed locally before being sent to a micronizing facility in Timmins. This integrated approach supports regional employment while ensuring consistent product quality for a wide range of industrial applications.

Talc, though often overlooked, is a highly versatile mineral used in products ranging from plastics and paints to pharmaceuticals and agriculture. Its unique properties—softness, chemical stability, and ability to improve strength and durability—make it a valuable additive in manufacturing. In automotive and plastics applications, talc helps reduce weight while maintaining performance, contributing to greater efficiency and lower emissions.

As the mining industry increasingly focuses on critical minerals, talc occupies an important, if less visible, position within that conversation. While it may not carry the same profile as battery metals, it supports the development of lighter, more sustainable materials that are essential to modern industry. In this sense, operations like Penhorwood are part of a broader shift toward innovation and environmental performance.

Environmental stewardship remains a key priority. Like all mining operations in Ontario, Penhorwood operates under strict regulatory oversight, with systems in place to manage water, air quality, and tailings. Ongoing investments in environmental controls and progressive rehabilitation reflect industry wide efforts to ensure responsible resource development from start to finish.

The proximity of the Penhorwood operation to Timmins makes it particularly relevant as the Canadian Mining Expo brings together industry professionals, suppliers, and the public. It presents an opportunity to broaden awareness of industrial minerals and their role in everyday life—an area often overshadowed by higher profile commodities.

Ultimately, the story of Magris Talc and the Penhorwood mine highlights the depth and diversity of Northern Ontario’s mining sector. Beyond gold, operations like this are helping to supply the materials that support modern manufacturing and a more sustainable future.

ONYX GOLD ’s Argus system takes on scale and grade as drills turn east of Timmins

OnyxGold Corp. has spent the first half of 2026 turning its Munro-Croesus project into something larger and more complex than it was when the year began. A rapid ‑ fire series of drill results from 75 km east of Timmins, capped by a late-March breakthrough that delivered the company’s best grade-width intersections to date at Argus Main, has reinforced the case that the Argus gold system is evolving into a multi-target discovery with both district-scale footprint and high-grade backbone.

“We see a compelling twopronged opportunity emerging; broad near-surface mineralization at Argus Main that could support bulktonnage potential, alongside highergrade mineralization at Argus North,” said CEO Brock Colterjohn. “Both zones remain open and continue to grow with each round of drilling.”

The most technically important results of the quarter came from Argus North, where Onyx confirmed a western structural offset of the zone across the Barton Creek Fault. Drill hole MC25-242EXT returned 70.3 metres grading 2.3 grams per tonne gold, including 28.6 m at 4.7 g/t — a

result that closely matched an earlier intersection from hole MC25-243, which cut 73.2 m at 2.4 g/t approximately 100 m up-dip on the same section. The comparable thickness and grade between the two holes provided strong evidence of continuity within the newly recognised structural domain.

Earlier in January, Argus North had delivered some of the strongest grades drilled to date. Hole MC25242 cut 25.7 m at 5.0 g/t gold, including 10.4 m at 9.3 g/t, with visible gold in core and individual samples running as high as 133.7 g/t over 0.9 m. Seven samples across MC25 242 and MC25-243 assayed above 20 g/t, an increase in higher‑ grade frequency the company attributes to drilling a more fertile part of the system at depth.

The late-March results from Argus Main were the quarter’s headline. Hole MC26-267 intersected 99.5 m grading 1.2 g/t gold, while hole MC26-270 returned 77.2 m at 1.3 g/t, including a high grade interval of 15.0 m at 4.9 g/t. These were the strongest grade-width intersections reported at Argus Main to date, and they demonstrated that high-grade mineralization observed at surface continues hundreds of metres underground. Gold was also identified for the first time within the Porcupine Group metasediments south of the Pipestone Fault, materially expanding the system’s geological footprint. Argus Main now defines a mineralized footprint roughly 900 m by 200 m.

Taken together, the Argus zones now extend over 900 m of strike length and more than 400 m vertically, with the higher-grade mineralization at Argus North plunging to the west-northwest. Both zones remain open along strike, down-dip and down-plunge.

Away from Argus, the company reported a high-grade surface discovery at the C Zone, 6 km east of Argus North and 3 km northeast of the historic Croesus gold mine. Trench -

ing exposed a quartz vein zone that returned channel samples of 39.5 g/t gold over 2.3 m, including 124 g/t over 0.62 m — the highest grade surface result collected to date at Munro-Croesus. The zone shares geological characteristics with the historic Croesus veins, and initial drill testing is planned for later in 2026.

The district-scale ambition extends further still. Onyx now controls eight kilometres of strike along the regional Pipestone Fault, much of it never tested by modern exploration. Reconnaissance drilling up to 900 m southwest of Argus North has already returned anomalous gold values, and the company has agreed to acquire the 64-hectare Hewitt West property, which covers an undrilled portion of the fault corridor.

In the Yukon, results from a 2025 summer field program at the King Tut property in the Selwyn Basin outlined an 850 m by 500 m high-priority target area within the Ra intrusion’s sheeted vein field, with channel samples up to 5.0 m at 0.7 g/t gold and grab samples reaching 14.7 g/t. A drill program is being developed for later this year.

On the corporate side, Onyx was named to the 2026 TSX Venture 50 after share price appreciation of 641 per cent and market capitalization growth of 1,202 per cent during 2025, performance driven largely by the Argus North discovery. The company also appointed Vanessa Pickering as vice president of investor relations. With three drill rigs turning and more than 110 holes completed out of a fully funded 75,000-metre program, Onyx enters the second quarter with $27 million in the treasury and multiple active targets across its 109 km² land package.

Onyx Gold is a Canadian exploration company focused on gold in the Timmins camp and Yukon’s Selwyn Basin. Its flagship Munro Croesus project includes the past-producing Croesus gold mine and covers 109 km² of prospective geology along the Abitibi greenstone belt.

METALS CREEK Sharpens Focus on Gold near Timmins

Metals

Creek Resources sold its 85% interest in the Tillex copper-silver project east of Timmins to Australian-listed explorer Aruma Resources this year, marking a strategic shift that allows the Thunder Bay-based junior to concentrate on its flagship Ogden gold property in the heart of the Timmins camp.

“We are excited by the scale, geometry and growth potential of the project, and by the strong body of high-grade results delivered to date,” said Managing Director Grant Ferguson of Aruma. “We see great potential for the discovery of additional strata bound hosted or VMS copper mineralisation along strike and at depth beyond the project’s drilldefined area.”

Under the binding heads of agreement announced January 22, Aruma will pay Metals Creek C$100,000 in cash and C$125,000 in shares on closing, with deferred cash and share payments stretching over three

years that could bring the total consideration to C$1.475 million before a C$500,000 production payment. Metals Creek also retains a 1% net smelter return royalty on the project. The deal followed a smaller but related transaction on January 9, when the company bought back a legacy 0.5% NSR on Tillex from Blue Moon Metals for 50,000 shares, effectively tidying up the royalty structure ahead of the sale.

The Tillex project, 65 km east of Timmins in Currie Township, sits on patented claims and hosts a drilldefined copper sulphide deposit with mineralization starting just 25 to 30 metres below surface. Over 10,000 metres of diamond drilling by Metals Creek and earlier operator Westmin Resources returned broad, highgrade copper intersections, including 110 metres grading 1.69% copper and 7.05 g/t silver from 34 metres, and 98.2 metres at 1.82% copper and 13.17 g/t silver from 35.8 metres. Aruma plans to begin drilling immediately upon closing, with the goal of establishing a maiden mineral resource estimate.

With Tillex off its books, Metals Creek is turning its attention squarely to the Ogden gold project, a 50/50 joint venture with Discovery Silver that the company operates. In a January 27 update, Metals Creek announced it is fully funded and in the planning stage for a first quarter drill program targeting the Thomas Ogden Zone and Porphyry Hill‚ Äî the first drilling at Ogden since 2022. That earlier program produced strong results, including 3.66 g/t gold over 14.66 metres in hole TOG-2274A, with visible gold noted in the core.

The Ogden property covers more than 8 km of strike length along the Porcupine-Destor Break, the principal structure controlling gold mineralization across the Timmins camp. It sits between Pan American Silver’s West Timmins Mine and Galleon Gold’s West Cache development to the west and Discovery Silver’s

Dome Mine complex to the east. A structural analysis of oriented core from the 2022 program, focusing on the orientation of gold-bearing quartz veins and fold structures that appear to control their emplacement, is nearing completion and will inform the upcoming drill targeting.

Meanwhile, developments continued at the Yellow Fox critical metals property near Glenwood, Newfoundland, which Metals Creek optioned to Lomiko Metals in early 2025. On January 14, Lomiko reported that seven soil samples re-analysed for a full suite of rare earth elements returned total REE values ranging from 1,683 ppm to 5,176 ppm. The results showed strong enrichment in both light and heavy rare earths, with neodymium values up to 890 ppm and dysprosium up to 191 ppm, critical to permanent magnet manufacturing. The REE anomalies parallel previously identified antimony‑zinc ‑ lead‑ silver targets on the property and are hosted within the Mount Peyton monzogranite. Lomiko’s next steps include additional soil re-sampling, ground geophysics, and surface trenching; permits for this work are already in hand.

On February 10, Metals Creek confirmed receipt of the first anniversary payment under the Yellow Fox option agreement: C$23,125 in cash and 889,423 Lomiko shares. Two amendments to the deal have expanded the property from its original footprint to 109 claim units spanning 2,725 hectares, more than quadrupling the initial land package.

In late March, Metals Creek announced the launch of a 12-month online marketing campaign with AGORACOM that will feature industry-leading AI-generated content to reach investors of all demographics around the world. In addition, Magma will launch a Verified Forum on AGORACOM’s platform that will provide moderated, civilized engagement between management and shareholders.

Shining Tree Drill Story Begins to Take Shape for PTX Near

Timmins

PTX Metals Advances Shining Tree Gold Project

Focused exploration is sharpening one of Northern Ontario’s underexplored gold opportunities.

PTX Metals is entering a more disciplined phase at its Shining Tree Gold Project, south of Timmins. Recent geophysical and structural work has helped narrow the property’s broad land package into a shortlist of priority targets—most notably the Ronda target, now considered drill-ready.

While no new discovery has been announced, these technical advancements are critical. They refine the understanding of the structures controlling mineralization, help identify where higher-grade zones may occur, and create a more focused plan for follow-up drilling.

“These results continue to strengthen our understanding of the geological controls on gold mineralization at Shining Tree and allow us to prioritize targets with the greatest potential to deliver value through drilling,” said PTX president and CEO Greg Ferron.

RONDA: From Showing to System

Ronda sits within the broader “Ronda Strip,” a folded, gold-bearing horizon that may stretch several kilometres across the property. Its significance is not just historical: PTX now better understands why the gold is there and where it may continue at depth or along strike.

This insight comes from a high-resolution drone magnetic survey covering roughly 35 per cent of the property and a structural review by SRK Consulting. PTX identified previously unrecognized fold axis geometry and intersection lineation at Ronda, providing a geological rationale for targeted drilling.

Surface trenching has returned up to 16 metres grading 9.0 g/t gold, reinforcing the target’s potential. With the structural model now in place, Ronda is moving from a surface showing toward a coherent system ready for drill testing.

Additional Priority Targets

PTX has also identified Four Big Lake and the Ronda Break Extension as Priority 1 targets. While promising, these areas require further work—till sampling, mapping, and geophysics—before drilling can proceed.

Northwestern and Western targets, meanwhile, show potential from historical results such as 8.23 g/t gold, 20 g/t silver, and over 10,000 ppm arsenic from the Northgate No. 3 Zone. Improved road access now makes follow-up work in these areas more practical than in the past, highlighting how logistics can shape early-stage exploration.

Strategic Northern Ontario Location

Shining Tree lies in the Southern Abitibi Greenstone Belt, near the Ridout-Tyrell Deformation Zone, a structural corridor hosting major gold systems including Juby and Côté Gold. Although not part of the core Timmins camp, Shining Tree benefits from proximity to infrastructure, expanding regional operations, and evolving exploration knowledge.

“With improving access in the region and increasing interest in the Timmins Gold Camp, Shining Tree represents a compelling exploration opportunity within our Northern Ontario portfolio,” said Ferron.

Next Steps

PTX’s immediate plans include finalizing drill designs at Ronda, following up on new targets, and reviewing underexplored areas of the property. Success will ultimately hinge on whether the improved geological model translates into strong drill results.

For now, PTX has achieved what early-stage explorers aim for: reduced uncertainty, improved target definition, and advancement of a drill ready system. This sets the stage for potentially meaningful results in a district still being interpreted with modern exploration tools.

Shining Tree is held through South Timmins Mining Corp., with PTX owning 75 per cent and Fancamp Exploration Ltd. holding 25 per cent. PTX’s broader Northern Ontario portfolio also includes the W2 copper-nickel-PGE project in the Ring of Fire.

Infrastructure as the Backbone: Minister Rickford Highlights Northern Ontario’s Mining Future

Atthe recent Good Roads Conference, Greg Rickford, Minister of Indigenous Affairs and First Nations Economic Reconciliation and Minister Responsible for Ring of Fire Economic and Community Partnerships, delivered a clear message: infrastructure is not just a public service—it is the foundation of Northern Ontario’s economic future and a critical enabler of its mining industry. Speaking to municipal leaders, industry stakeholders, and infrastructure experts, Rickford emphasized the unique challenges and opportunities facing the North. Vast distances, remote deposits, and harsh climate conditions make infrastructure investment not only necessary, but strategic. For the mining sector, roads, bridges, energy systems, and transportation corridors are essential to unlocking resource potential and sustaining long-term growth. In regions like Northern Ontario, mining operations depend heavily on reliable infrastructure to move equipment, transport ore, and connect workers to sites that are often far from urban centres. Without these critical links, even

Minister Greg Rickford

the most promising mineral deposits can remain out of reach. This message is particularly timely as Timmins prepares to host the Canadian Mining Expo—one of the country’s key gatherings for the mining industry. The event brings together companies, suppliers, government representatives, and community leaders, all of whom rely on strong infrastructure networks to support their work and growth. The Expo serves as a real-world example of the interconnected nature of infrastructure and mining. From the equipment showcased to the projects discussed, every aspect of the industry depends on the ability to efficiently move people, materials, and resources. It also provides a platform for dialogue—where government priorities, like those outlined by Rickford, intersect directly with industry needs.

Rickford pointed to continued provincial investments aimed at strengthening these connections, noting that infrastructure development supports both existing operations and future projects. Improved road access, in particular, has the potential to open new areas for exploration while enhancing safety and reducing costs for companies operating in remote regions. Beyond mining, these investments carry broader economic benefits. Infrastructure spending supports local communities by improving mobility, creating jobs, and fostering long-term regional development. In many cases, infrastructure built to support resource projects becomes a lasting asset that benefits multiple sectors.

As global demand increases for minerals tied to electrification, advanced manufacturing, and clean technologies, Northern Ontario is well positioned to play a leading role. However, as both Rickford’s remarks and the Canadian Mining Expo highlight, that potential can only be realized with continued investment in the infrastructure that underpins the industry. For readers of Mining Life & Exploration News, the takeaway is clear: in Northern Ontario, infrastructure is more than a support system—it is a catalyst. It enables exploration, sustains operations, and connects the region’s vast mineral wealth to markets around the world. And as industry and government come together in Timmins, that connection has never been more important.

MCEWEN consolidates around growth for Grey Fox resource along with back-toback deals

McEwen Inc. used the first half of 2026 to press hard on a strategy that has defined the company’s recent trajectory: consolidate ground around its key producing and development assets, deliver a sharp turnaround in financial results, and position the Fox Complex near Timmins as the centrepiece of a productiondoubling plan for 2030. The quarter’s most significant development at the corporate level was the January 6 closing of the business combination with Canadian Gold Corp. Shareholders of the Flin Flon-based junior had approved the plan of arrangement on December 5, 2025, and the deal closed under a final order from the British Columbia courts. It was the first of two consolidation moves announced within three weeks. On January 28, McEwen announced the acquisition of Golden Lake Exploration Inc., a transaction that further consolidates the Gold Bar Mine Complex in Nevada — one of the

company’s three operating producers alongside assets in Mexico and Ontario. At the Fox Complex, 80 km east of Timmins, McEwen reported a substantial resource increase at the Grey Fox deposit. Indicated resources climbed 23 per cent year over year to 1.9 million ounces grading 3.02 grams per tonne gold, and inferred resources grew to 1.2 million ounces at 2.68 g/t. The updated estimate, effective December 31, 2025, incorporates results from roughly 24,000 metres of drilling completed during the year.

“Grey Fox continues to demonstrate its potential as a cornerstone asset within the Fox Complex, and the 2025 resource update reinforces our confidence in advancing this project toward a pre-feasibility study,” said chief operating officer Ken Gracey. That pre-feasibility study is now targeted for the second quarter of 2026 and will shape development decisions for the deposit. In the meantime, McEwen has begun underground mining at two targets within the Grey Fox area — the Gibson and Whiskey Jack zones — producing early-stage ore that is being processed through the existing Black Fox mill.

The approach gives the company a head start on understanding the underground geology while generating revenue as the larger development path is finalised. Between $5 million and $10 million has been allocated for further Grey Fox drilling in 2026, with the aim of converting inferred resources to the indicated category and testing extensions of known mineralization.

A third consolidation move contributed to the Grey Fox story: the acquisition of the Stroud property, which borders Grey Fox to the south. McEwen completed verification drilling on the Stroud ground during 2025 and has incorporated the results into the updated resource model. The addition brings both near-surface and underground resource potential into a deposit that already ranks among

the larger undeveloped gold assets in the Timmins camp.

The financial backdrop for the quarter was equally striking. On March 12, McEwen reported Q4 and full-year 2025 results showing fourthquarter net income of $38.1 million, or 70 cents per share, compared with a net loss of $8.2 million (16 cents per share) in Q4 2024. The company used the results announcement to reaffirm its longer‑term production targets and its intention to double production by 2030. On March 23, McEwen added another piece to its growth picture with the release of a gold mineral resource estimate for the Tartan Mine project.

The Fox Complex as a whole includes the operating Black Fox mine, the Froome underground mine, the Stock mine development project, and Grey Fox. McEwen has set a production target of 60,000 ounces per year by 2027 from the combined Fox Complex operations, with a longerrange goal of 120,000 to 150,000 ounces annually by 2030. The Stock mine, currently in the permitting and development phase, is expected to be a significant contributor to that ramp-up alongside Grey Fox. Black Fox and Froome continue to provide the operational backbone for the complex, feeding the central mill while the higher-grade underground zones at Grey Fox are brought into the production mix. The integrated approach — mining multiple deposits through shared infrastructure — is central to McEwen’s strategy for keeping costs manageable as it scales output in the Timmins camp.

McEwen Inc. operates gold and silver mines across the Americas, with producing assets in Nevada, Mexico, and Ontario, and holds a 46 per cent stake in McEwen Copper, which is developing the large-scale Los Azules copper project in Argentina’s San Juan province. Within Ontario, the Fox Complex represents the company’s primary growth platform, with Grey Fox positioned as the next major source of ounces.

Amex’s move from discovery to development

AmexExploration spent the part of 2026 pushing Perron closer to the development stage, with the work centred less on headline exploration and more on the practical steps required to build a mine near Normétal. Through the quarter, the company advanced bulk-sample planning, infrastructure, environmental work, grade-control drilling and permitting while also expanding its Ontario land position.

The shift was already clear in January when Amex said detailed underground designs had been completed, discussions on nearby milling options were underway in the Abitibi region, and the Phase 1 feasibility study remained on track for release by the end of the first quarter. The company also continued to target a possible 2028 startup. By early February, Perron’s development path became more concrete. Amex moved ahead with permitting for a dedicated 25-kilovolt Hydro-Québec power line from the Normétal substation to the project, a step the company tied directly to bulk sampling and the first production scenario under study. “Direct connection to Hydro-Québec’s grid is expected to be an important contributor,” said president and chief executive officer Victor Cantore.

The company then added two more pieces in March: a water treatment plant intended for both the bulk-sample program and later Phase 1 work, and the start of the project’s environmental impact assessment aimed at securing operating permits for 2028. Those decisions suggest Amex is trying to carry early capital forward instead of treating each development stage as a stand-alone exercise.

At the same time, the drill story changed in character. The February assay releases were not classic step-out exploration results designed to test new ground. They were grade-control holes in the Champagne Zone, meant to tighten confidence in the resource block model and reduce execution risk ahead of the planned bulk sample. Results included 76.51 grams gold per tonne over 6.40 metres in the first hole of the program, followed later in the month by 110.05 grams gold per tonne over 2.15 metres. That distinction matters. For junior miners, exploration drilling is about possibility. Grade-control drilling is about mine planning. In Perron’s case, the company is now using drilling to support stope design, reconciliation and short-term extraction strategy rather than simply to generate market attention.

Amex also used the quarter to strengthen its position outside Quebec. On March 2, it signed an exploration agreement with Apitipi Anicinapek Nation covering its Ontario projects, including Perron West and the Abbotsford and Hepburn properties. The agreement provides a framework for collaboration and includes employment, training and business opportunities, along with contributions tied to exploration spending in AAN traditional territory. Cantore called it “a major milestone” for unlocking Perron West.

Less than two weeks later, the company announced an option deal on the Newman, Noseworthy and Hepburn properties in Ontario, adding 216 non-contiguous claims covering about 11,600 hectares. The move extended Amex’s broader district-scale strategy while Perron itself moved deeper into the execution phase.

The clearest sign of that transition came on March 30, when Amex said it had received the main governmental authorizations required for its 40,000-tonne underground bulk-sampling program and had completed the financial guarantee required under Quebec’s Mining Act. Field preparatory work was scheduled to begin in April, with portal construction targeted for early summer. “Securing these authorizations is a decisive milestone,” said Cantore.

Taken together, Amex’s first‑ quarter releases show a company trying to prove it can do more than define a high-grade deposit. Perron is still an exploration success, but the quarterly record now reads like that of a developer: power, water, environmental studies, tenders, grade control, permits and workforce preparation. That does not eliminate execution risk, but it does show the project moving into a more disciplined and consequential phase.

MAYFAIR GOLD targeting high-grade starter mine at Fenn-Gib near Timmins

Mayfair Gold has spent the first part of 2026 converting its Fenn-Gib gold project from a study-stage deposit into something that looks increasingly like a mine. A January pre-feasibility study laid out the economics. A February drilling program confirmed the grade. An April land acquisition expanded the footprint. And threading through all of it is a deliberate strategy that bets the company’s future on a counterintuitive idea: build small first, and leave three-quarters of the gold in the ground for later.

Fenn-Gib sits in the Timmins Gold District, a stretch of geology that has produced tens of millions of ounces over the past century and is currently home to gold operations run by Discovery Silver and Pan American Silver. Mayfair’s project holds 4.3 million ounces in the indicated category, but the pre-feasibility study released January 8 does not propose to mine all of it. Instead, the company has designed a high-grade starter operation that targets just 24 per cent of the total indicated resource — enough to generate an after-tax net present value of $652 million and an internal rate of return of 24 per cent at a base case gold price of US$3,100 per ounce. At spot prices closer to US$4,450, the NPV climbs to $1.37

billion and the return to 38 per cent. Initial capital is estimated at $450 million.

“This mine plan targets only 24% of the total indicated gold resource at Fenn‑ Gib, leaving significant longer‑ term optionality associated with the larger resource should market conditions be supportive,” said CEO Nick Campbell.

The logic is straightforward: a smaller-footprint operation requires less upfront capital, carries lower execution risk, and moves faster through Ontario’s permitting process — a consideration that matters when you are trying to build a mine inside the current gold cycle rather than the next one. Chief operating officer Drew Anwyll framed the timeline in blunt terms.

“Our plan is straightforward: we intend to build this mine and bring it into operation in the near term. The team is focused on executing efficiently and delivering on our commitments — completing this project and sticking the landing,” said Anwyll. “The next phase is clear: finalize engineering and design work, and advance environmental approvals in preparation for a construction decision within two to three years.”

That permitting work is already underway. Following years of en -

vironmental baseline studies, the company submitted the Fenn-Gib Gold Project Notice of Project Status on February 5. On February 11, Mayfair released initial results from a 2025 grade-control drilling program that provided further confidence in the mineralization within the starterpit area, tightening the data set the company will carry into the feasibility stage.

The quarter also brought a series of corporate moves designed to position the company for the capital it will eventually need. On January 27 Mayfair began trading on the NYSE American under the ticker symbol MINE, a listing intended to broaden its investor base across North America. The company engaged investor relations firms in both North America and Europe to support the new profile.

On April 2 the company acquired the Guibord, Marriott and Holloway properties from Plato Gold, strengthening its regional land position around Fenn-Gib. The acquisition adds ground in a district where consolidation has been one of the dominant themes over the past three years.

On the people side, Mayfair appointed Pierre Beaudoin as a strategic advisor on February 3 and added a veteran chief financial officer on April 7 to steer the financial architecture through a construction decision. The company is also advancing engagement with the Apitipi Anicinapek Nation, with an exploration agreement already in place and a community benefit agreement under discussion.

The roadmap from here is compressed but visible: major construction targeted for 2028, commercial operations by 2030. If Mayfair delivers on that timeline, Fenn-Gib would join the producing ranks in the Timmins district within four years — built on a deliberate bet that the smartest way to develop a four-million-ounce deposit is to mine one million of it first and let the rest wait.

NORTHERN SUN MINING CORP. :

The Mill That Helps Keep Northern Ontario Mining Moving

In mining, discoveries may grab the headlines, but it is infrastructure that often determines whether a project moves forward. In Northern Ontario, Northern Sun Mining Corp. has built its importance not through flashy announcements, but by providing something the region’s smaller and mid-sized operators urgently need: access to processing.

Located near Timmins, one of Canada’s most recognized mining centres, Northern Sun’s Redstone Mill has become a critical link in the development chain for junior miners, bulk sample programs, and emerging producers. For companies with promising deposits but without the scale, time, or capital required to build their own processing facility, toll milling can mean the difference between momentum and delay. That is where Northern Sun fits into the story of Northern Ontario mining.

Its Redstone Mill gives companies the ability to process ore close to source, helping reduce one of the major barriers facing smaller operations. Building a standalone mill is expensive, time-consuming, and often unrealistic for projects that are still proving economics or working through phased development. By of-

fering toll milling services, Northern Sun provides a practical alternative that allows miners to test, advance, and monetize projects without the burden of building full-scale infrastructure from scratch.

This is especially important for bulk sample programs, which are often a defining stage in a mine’s path to production. Bulk samples give operators the chance to test metallurgy, recoveries, grade consistency, and mine planning assumptions under real operating conditions. They provide critical insight before larger capital decisions are made. Having access to a mill like Redstone allows these programs to proceed efficiently and with far less risk than would otherwise be possible.

In a region like Northern Ontario, where many mineral deposits are developed by entrepreneurial junior and mid-tier companies, that role is significant. Not every project begins with the balance sheet of a major producer. Many of the region’s success stories begin with smaller companies working hard to advance good assets in a disciplined way. Northern Sun helps support that model by giving those companies access to established processing

infrastructure in the heart of a worldclass mining district.

Its value extends beyond any single client or project. The Redstone Mill supports the broader mining ecosystem by helping more deposits move from exploration toward development. It allows smaller mines to remain flexible, shortens the path to production for some operators, and strengthens the region’s overall mining capacity. In doing so, it contributes to jobs, investment, contractor activity, and the continued vitality of the Timmins-area mining economy.

Northern Ontario has long been built by a combination of geology, grit, and infrastructure. While major mines often dominate the spotlight, facilities like Northern Sun’s Redstone Mill play a quieter but equally essential role. They help transform mineral potential into practical opportunity.

For small to medium-sized mines and companies advancing bulk samples, Northern Sun Mining Corp. is more than a toll mill operator. It is a strategic partner and an important part of the industrial foundation that helps keep Northern Ontario mining moving forward.

Mining Engineering Technology

The Mining Engineering Technician (MET) program at Northern College’s Haileybury School of Mines (HSM) is designed for students who want practical learning, strong job prospects, and a clear pathway into one of Canada’s most important industries.

For over 100 years, HSM has trained mining professionals working around the world. Today, the program has been revitalized to reflect modern mining, new technology, and real employer needs.

Mining, Government and First Nations Chart a Shared Path Across Northern Ontario

Something is shifting in the relationship between Ontario’s mining sector, the provincial government, and First Nations communities across the north. In the first part of 2026, a series of agreements — from the Ring of Fire to the Abitibi Greenstone Belt to the streets of Thunder Bay — has begun to lay the groundwork for what multiple leaders on all sides are describing as a new era of economic reconciliation. The word “partnership” appears in every announcement. What makes this round different is that the money, the infrastructure commitments, and the decision-making structures are starting to follow.

The highest‑profile development is in the Ring of Fire, where the province signed $39.5-million agreements with both the Webequie First Nation and the Marten Falls First Nation to advance all-season road construction and community infrastructure. The roads will connect remote

communities to the provincial highway network — but the agreements go well beyond asphalt. Both include funding for health supports, youth centres, and airport upgrades, and both position the First Nations as active partners in the design and pace of development rather than recipients of decisions made elsewhere.

“Reconciliation based on fixing a relationship that has historically left us behind,” said Marten Falls Chief Bruce Achneepineskum.

Webequie Chief Cornelius Wabasse framed the road in terms of self-determination: “A pathway to opportunity, access and growth on our terms.” Webequie has also signed a memorandum of understanding with Ring of Fire Metals for regional development, adding a direct industry relationship alongside the provincial agreement.

In March 2026, the Eabametoong First Nation signed a landmark agreement with the province establishing a formal “Relationship Table” — a standing structure that gives the community a direct voice in advancing its priorities with Ontario. The agreement came with a power subsidy that will reduce household electricity bills by as much as 20 per cent, a tangible benefit that lands in the same month as the policy framework.

“A lot of work has gone into this, ensuring that we have a shared commitment with Ontario to improve community life,” said Chief Solomon Atlookan.

The cooperation extends into active exploration. In October 2025, Cleghorn Minerals, International Prospect Ventures, and Val-d’Or Mining Corporation signed an exploration agreement with the Matachewan First Nation and Mattagami First Nation — both members of the Wabun Tribal Council — governing exploration activity in the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The agreement establishes consultation and impactmitigation protocols and guarantees the First Nations financial benefits

including contracts, jobs, and training opportunities. Cleghorn has committed to issuing 50,000 common shares and 50,000 incentive options to each First Nation, tying exploration-stage equity directly to the communities whose traditional territories are being explored.

Mining, Government

and First Nations Chart a Shared Path Across Northern

Ontario

The provincial government’s updated Critical Minerals Strategy, released in March 2026, formally identifies building partnerships with Indigenous communities as one of its six key priorities. Ontario has invested $70 million into the Indigenous Participation Fund and shared nearly $360 million through resource revenuesharing agreements — numbers that give the policy language a financial foundation.

In Thunder Bay, a $2-million provincial investment is transforming the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Centre into a modern, accessible hub for healing, education, and cultural programming. Roseanna Hudson, president of the centre, said the investment reflects the government “investing and believing in our organization’s vision.” The facility is designed to nurture what the community calls Mino Bimaadiziwin — a good way of life.

Not every community shares the optimism. The Neskantaga First Nation has expressed strong opposition to the province’s legislative approach, citing concerns over Indigenous rights and environmental safeguards. That tension is real, and the path ahead will require sustained engagement on both sides. But the direction of travel — from the Ring of Fire roads to the Abitibi exploration agreements to the Thunder Bay friendship centre — suggests that the conversation between mining, government, and First Nations in Northern Ontario has moved from aspiration to architecture.

MAGNA MINING Builds

Multi-Mine

Vision Across the Sudbury Basin

Most companies in the Sudbury basin talk about polymetallic upside. Magna Mining is showing what it looks like when the metals actually cooperate. In the fourth quarter of 2025 — the quarter that set the table for everything the company is doing this year — gold, platinum and palladium grades from the McCreedy West mine more than doubled over the previous quarter, silver grades climbed more than 40 per cent, and copper prices sat near all-time highs. For a company whose flagship operation was designed around copper, the precious metals bonus turned a strong production quarter into an exceptional one.

“Although copper is our most important metal at McCreedy West, our grades for gold, platinum and palladium during Q4 were more than double what we mined in Q3, and silver grades were up more than 40% during a period of strong precious metals prices,” said CEO Jason Jessup. “This highlights the unique polymetallic nature of Sudbury deposits, providing us the flexibility to tailor our mining operations to the prevailing commodity price trends.”

McCreedy West produced 84,953 tons of ore from the 700 Copper Zone in that fourth quarter, a 13 per cent increase over the previous period. Diamond drilling surged 91 per cent to 29,334 feet. The drilling data

allowed Magna to strip low-grade stopes from the mining plan and focus on quality tonnage — a shift that is now baked into 2026 guidance of 16.0 to 18.0 million pounds of copper-equivalent payable production at all in sustaining costs of US$4.20 to US$4.70 per pound.

In February the company crossed a corporate milestone that matters more than it reads on paper: initial mineral reserves for McCreedy West. The probable mineral reserves of 987,000 tonnes support a threeyear production profile — a timeframe consistent with how the mine has operated since FNX Mining restarted it in 2003. The supporting technical report was filed April 2. What makes the number meaningful is less the tonnage than what it represents: the first time Magna has been able to point to a reserves figure rather than a resources estimate, giving lenders and partners the kind of bankable data that unlocks the next stage of financing.

But McCreedy West was never the whole story. The real ambition — multi-mine production across the Sudbury basin — runs through two satellite projects that are both moving toward restart decisions this year.

At the past-producing Levack mine, underground drilling into the R2 Footwall Zone has returned intervals that would make most copper-

PGE explorers reconsider their life choices: 20.3 per cent copper, 0.1 per cent nickel, and 10.3 g/t combined platinum, palladium and gold over 0.7 metres in one hole, with multiple other metre-scale intercepts confirming the high grade footwall vein system at similar widths to the historically mined Morrison Footwall Copper-PGE Deposit.

“It is quite encouraging to have multiple metre-scale intersections, demonstrating similar vein widths in the R2 Zone to those that were historically mined in some areas of the Morrison deposit,” said SVP exploration Dave King. A preliminary economic assessment for the restart of Levack is targeted for the third quarter of 2026.

At Crean Hill, the company engaged Technica Mining in December 2025 to complete a pre-feasibility study building on a 2024 preliminary economic assessment that outlined a 13-year mine life and an internal rate of return of 129 per cent — a number driven in part by modest preproduction capital and strong precious metals content. During 2025 Magna advanced engineering for both a grid-power connection and a permanent dewatering system at the site, two pieces of infrastructure that will feed directly into the updated economics.

The Crean Hill PFS is being completed in parallel with the Levack PEA, which means the company will have economic studies on both restart candidates in hand by the second half of 2026 — exactly the decision package you need if the goal is to move from one producing mine to three within the next several years.

Magna Mining is based in Sudbury and operates in the Sudbury basin, one of the world’s most prolific polymetallic mining districts. The company’s portfolio, assembled largely through the acquisition of former KGHM properties in March 2025, includes McCreedy West, Levack and Crean Hill.

VALE ’s Ontario Future:

Why Sudbury Still Matters

Ascritical minerals move to the centre of industrial policy and global supply chains, Vale Base Metals is doubling down on Ontario — and especially Sudbury — as a cornerstone of its next phase of growth.

In Ontario mining, scale matters. So does staying power. And in both respects, Vale Base Metals remains one of the province’s most important players. The company’s latest exploration and outlook update shows Ontario continuing to hold a central place in Vale’s long-term plans, with new reserve and resource additions, targeted drilling in Sudbury, and renewed focus on extending the life of existing operations. For a province that depends heavily on mining for jobs, exports and industrial investment, that is significant news.

Vale’s importance to Ontario goes far beyond a single mine or processing plant. Ontario’s mining industry directly contributed $23.8 billion to provincial GDP in 2023, while minerals and metals exports reached $64 billion, accounting for more than one-quarter of the province’s total domestic exports. Companies like Vale help anchor that economic engine, not only through production, but through refining, engineering, research, procurement activity, and the thousands of direct and indirect

jobs that flow from large scale operations.

Nowhere is that role more visible than in Sudbury. Vale Base Metals describes its Sudbury complex as one of the largest integrated mining operations in the region, supported by more than 4,000 direct employees and over 1,000 contractors. The company’s footprint includes multiple underground mines, processing infrastructure, and refining capability, making Sudbury not just a mining camp, but a full critical-minerals hub with global relevance. In a time when governments and manufacturers are increasingly focused on secure North American supplies of nickel, copper and related metals, Sudbury’s strategic value only grows.

That helps explain why Vale’s March 30, 2026 release placed such emphasis on Ontario. The company reported that work in Ontario and at Voisey’s Bay — including drilling, geological model reviews and early engineering studies — added 0.5 million tonnes of contained copper and 0.9 million tonnes of contained nickel in mineral reserves and resources near current operations. In plain terms, Vale is finding more value close to the mines and infrastructure it already operates, which is often the most practical and costeffective way to sustain production and protect jobs over the long term.

For Sudbury, the forward plan is especially important. Vale says 2026 priorities include targeted drilling programs in Sudbury and Voisey’s Bay, with a strong focus on sustaining and growing copper and nickel production through brownfield exploration. Brownfield work matters because it is aimed at extending known mining districts, improving mine plans, and building on existing infrastructure rather than starting from scratch. It is the kind of strategy that can quietly add years of productive life to mature operations while keeping capital discipline in focus.

There is also a bigger regional opportunity taking shape. In De -

cember 2025, Vale Base Metals and Glencore Canada announced plans to evaluate the development of Sudbury copper deposits through a proposed equal-partnership joint venture. According to Vale, the project could produce an estimated 880 kilotonnes of copper over 21 years, with engineering, permitting and consultation work scheduled through 2026 and a final investment decision expected in the first half of 2027. If that development proceeds, it could represent one of the most important new copper growth stories in the Sudbury Basin in years.

Vale is also investing in the Ontario side of the value chain beyond extraction. In October 2025, the company announced C$500,000 in support from Ontario’s Critical Minerals Innovation Fund for next-generation carbonyl refining research tied to Copper Cliff in Sudbury. Vale said the work is intended to expand processing capacity and improve its ability to handle battery recycled materials, with research conducted through its Mississauga-based global research centre. That signals something important for Ontario: Vale’s future here is not only about what comes out of the ground, but also about how the province can strengthen processing, innovation and downstream capability around critical minerals.

The broader message is clear. Vale is not treating Ontario as a legacy jurisdiction to be maintained. It is treating Ontario — and Sudbury in particular — as a platform for growth. With reserve expansion near existing mines, an active 2026 drilling program, refining innovation, and a potentially major copper development on the horizon, the company’s next chapter in Ontario looks less like a holding pattern and more like a strategic reinvestment. For Sudbury, that means continued relevance. For Ontario, it means Vale remains one of the companies helping shape the province’s mining future.

TROILUS PROJECT: The Comeback of a Copper-Gold Giant in Canada

Innorthern Québec’s Frôtet-Evans Greenstone Belt, a former gold and copper mine is being brought back to life at a significantly larger scale. Troilus Mining Corp. (TSX: TLG) is advancing the Troilus Project, one of the largest undeveloped copper-gold deposits in Canada, toward near-term production, building on the mine’s history and its role in the future of mining.

The former Troilus mine operated from 1996 to 2010 under Inmet Mining Corp., producing approximately two million ounces of gold and 70,000 tonnes of copper. As a brownfield asset, the project benefits from existing infrastructure, including powerlines leading right to site, as well as good standing relationships with surrounding communities. Today, that foundation is being leveraged through a modern redevelopment approach, supporting the development of a large-scale, long-life strategic mineral operation.

The current mine plan, outlined in a feasibility study published in May 2024, envisions a 50,000-tonne-perday open-pit operation with a 22-year mine life. Once in production, Troilus is expected to produce approximately 75,000 wet metric tonnes of copper concentrate annually, alongside gold and silver, with average annual production of more than 300,000 gold-equivalent ounces over the life of mine.

The project’s scale and commodity mix come at a time when copper demand is rising, driven by electrification and grid modernization, while gold continues to serve as a store of value during periods of economic uncertainty. At the same time, a structural gap in new copper supply has emerged following decades of underinvestment in exploration and development. Existing operations are aging, grades are declining, and new discoveries remain limited, increasing the importance of new projects with a clear path to development.

Troilus is progressing along that path. The Company has completed feasibility work, has advanced engineering and continues to progress through permitting following the submission of its environmental and social impact (ESIA) assessment to federal and provincial governments in June 2025. In parallel, site readiness initiatives -including pit dewatering and infrastructure upgrades -are advancing as the project moves closer to construction, targeted for 2027.

Financing and commercial discussions have advanced significantly, supported by a US$1 billion senior secured project debt mandate with leading financial institutions including Export Development Canada (EDC), Société Générale and KfW IPEX-Bank, alongside international export credit agency support. The project is further underpinned by long-term commercial arrangements with major European smelting groups, including Aurubis and Boliden, for a significant portion of future copper concentrate production, as well as strong backing from Québec and Canadian institutional investors - positioning Troilus within aligned Canada–Europe critical mineral supply chains.

Beyond its technical and economic fundamentals, Troilus is expected to play a significant role in the region and more broadly within Canada’s critical minerals strategy. Located near established communities in the James Bay area, the project is expected to create approximately 1,000 jobs during construction and nearly 700 jobs during operations, contributing to longterm economic development in northern Québec. As a large-scale project advancing in a tier-one jurisdiction, Troilus is also positioned to generate meaningful economic returns through investment, employment and government revenues over its life. Ongoing engagement with local and Indigenous communities is a core pillar of Troilus’ development approach, with a focus on building long-term partnerships, supporting local participation, and ensuring the project delivers meaningful economic and social benefits.

With a clear path toward construction, strong institutional and commercial backing, and a large-scale resource base, Troilus is positioned to become one of Canada’s next major copper-gold operations. As demand for responsibly sourced critical minerals accelerates, projects like Troilus will be essential to supporting secure, long-term supply across Canada and allied markets.

THE RING OF FIRE :

Canada’s Defining Mining Moment in a Critical Minerals Era

Inthe global race for critical minerals, few regions carry the weight, promise, and complexity of Ontario’s Ring of Fire. Located deep within the James Bay Lowlands of Northern Ontario, this crescentshaped mineral belt has evolved from a remote exploration frontier into what many now see as a generational nation-building opportunity. But like the powerful imagery often seen in viral industry videos—massive machines, untapped terrain, and the quiet anticipation of transformation—the Ring of Fire is more than a mining story. It is a story about access, responsibility, and the future of resource development in Canada.

A Resource Base That Could Reshape the Economy

Spanning roughly 5,000 square kilometres, the Ring of Fire contains globally significant deposits of chromite, nickel, copper, and platinum group metals—minerals essential to stainless steel, battery technology, and clean energy systems. Estimates suggest the region holds over $60 billion in mineral value, with the potential to generate tens of thousands of jobs and contribute billions to Ontario’s GDP over coming decades. In an era defined by electrification and supply chain security, these resources are no longer optional—they are strategic.

THE

INFRASTRUCTURE GAP: Mining’s Greatest Challenge

If the Ring of Fire represents opportunity, it equally represents one of mining’s greatest logistical challenges. There are no permanent roads into the region. Seasonal winter roads—usable for only a few weeks each year—remain the primary overland access for nearby communities. To unlock the deposits, Ontario and its partners are advancing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure plans, including:

• All-season access roads

• Broadband connectivity

• Transmission lines for reliable energy

• Integration with rail networks for global export.

Without this infrastructure, the mineral wealth remains stranded.

A NEW MODEL: Indigenous Partnership at the Core

Unlike historic mining rushes, development in the Ring of Fire is unfolding within the traditional territories of multiple First Nations. Their role is not peripheral—it is central. Across the region, Indigenous communities are asserting leadership as partners, rights holders, and co developers. This shift reflects a broader transformation in the mining industry:

• From consultation → to co development

• From impact mitigation → to shared economic ownership

• From short term extraction → to long term stewardship.

The success of the Ring of Fire will depend on how well this model is implemented—not just economically, but ethically.

Environmental Stakes in a Globally Significant Ecosystem

Beneath the mineral potential lies one of the largest intact boreal ecosystems on Earth, including vast peatlands that act as critical carbon sinks. This creates a dual reality:

• The minerals are essential for the green energy transition

• The landscape itself is vital for climate stability Balancing these competing priorities is one of the defining challenges of modern mining—and the Ring of Fire sits at the centre of that debate.

FROM DISCOVERY TO DEVELOPMENT: A Long Road Ahead

Discovered in the early 2000s, the Ring of Fire has long been described as “the next big thing” in Canadian mining. Yet, progress has been slow due to:

• Complex permitting processes (often taking over a decade)

• Infrastructure deficits

• Environmental considerations

• Ongoing negotiations with Indigenous communities

Today, momentum is building again. Governments are streamlining approvals, companies are consolidating land positions, and infrastructure planning is advancing. Still, timelines remain uncertain—and success is far from guaranteed.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Canada’s Critical Minerals Strategy

Globally, nations are racing to secure supplies of bat-

tery metals and strategic minerals. The Ring of Fire places Canada in a powerful position within this emerging geopolitical landscape. Its development could:

• Strengthen domestic supply chains

• Reduce reliance on foreign sources

• Position Northern Ontario as a hub for critical minerals processing

In this sense, the Ring of Fire is not just a regional project—it is a national strategic asset.

CONCLUSION: More Than a Mining Story

Much like the kind of powerful imagery seen in industry videos—where raw land meets human ambition—the Ring of Fire represents a moment of decision. It asks difficult questions:

• Can mining be both economically transformative and environmentally responsible?

• Can development proceed with true Indigenous partnership?

• Can Canada lead in ethical critical mineral production?

The answers will define not only the future of Northern Ontario—but the global perception of Canada’s mining industry for decades to come.

Artificial Intelligence: Transforming Mining from Exploration to Milling

The mining industry is entering a new era, one in which artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping how we discover, extract, and process minerals. From grassroots exploration to milling, AI is becoming a critical tool in improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability across the sector.

AI IN EXPLORATION:

Smarter, Faster Discovery

Exploration has traditionally relied on geological intuition, field mapping, and extensive sampling programs. While effective, these methods can be slow and costly. AI is changing that by analyzing vast datasets—including satellite imagery, geophysical surveys, geochemical sampling, and historical drill logs—to identify patterns that humans may miss.

Machine learning algorithms can predict prospective areas by recognizing structural trends, alteration patterns, and mineral signatures in underexplored regions. For grassroots explorers, this means a more targeted approach, reducing wasted fieldwork and focusing resources on the highest-potential zones.

AI also aids in risk assessment and project prioritization. By integrating geological, environmental, and economic data, companies can make data-driven decisions on which projects to advance, lowering earlystage exploration costs and accelerating the discovery timeline.

MINING OPERATIONS: Efficiency and Safety

Once a deposit is defined, AI continues to play a critical role in the mining process itself. Underground and open-pit operations generate enormous amounts of real-time data from sensors, machinery, and vehicles. AI algorithms process this information to optimize ore extraction, manage energy consumption, and reduce equipment wear.

Autonomous vehicles and AI-driven drilling systems are becoming standard in modern mines. These technologies improve precision, reduce human exposure to hazardous conditions, and allow operations to continue 24/7 with minimal downtime. Predictive maintenance powered by AI can anticipate equipment failures before they occur, saving millions in repairs and reducing production interruptions.

AI also enhances mine planning and scheduling. By simulating multiple extraction scenarios, AI models can optimize the sequence of pit or stope development, maximizing re -

covery while minimizing environmental impact and cost.

MILLING AND PROCESSING: Precision and Yield

The benefits of AI extend into the milling and processing phase, where efficiency and product quality are paramount. AI systems can monitor and control mill parameters in real time, adjusting grind size, reagent addition, and flotation conditions to maximize recovery and concentrate quality. Machine learning models can predict the behavior of ore blends, helping metallurgists anticipate variability in feed and adjust processing conditions proactively.

This not only improves yield but also reduces energy consumption and reagent usage—key factors in sustainable mining operations. In addition, AI-driven process optimization supports environmental management. By continuously monitoring tailings, effluents, and emissions, AI can detect deviations and help prevent spills or other environmental incidents.

A FUTURE POWERED BY AI

The integration of AI throughout the mining lifecycle is no longer a distant vision—it is happening now. Companies that embrace AI gain competitive advantages through faster exploration success, more efficient operations, safer workplaces, and lower environmental impact.

From grassroots exploration in Northern Ontario’s gold camps to modern mills processing high-grade ore, AI is enhancing decision-making, improving profitability, and supporting sustainability across the sector. As the mining industry faces pressures from resource scarcity, cost inflation, and ESG expectations, AI will be a critical enabler—turning data into actionable insights and unlocking the next generation of mineral discoveries.

AVALON launches lithium feasibility and rare earth update from Thunder Bay

With a feasibility study now underway at its planned lithium refinery in Thunder Bay and an updated economic assessment launched for its Nechalacho rare earth project in the Northwest Territories, Avalon Advanced Materials has opened 2026 by pushing both pillars of its critical minerals strategy toward financing readiness. The quarter also saw a string of key appointments, a new capital advisor, and a shareholder meeting that endorsed the company’s current direction.

“The Feasibility Study builds on the technical and commercial groundwork established in the PEA as the project advances toward partnership engagement and financing readiness,” said president and CEO Scott Monteith. “With a strong technical foundation, a highly experienced and capable in-house Owner’s team and a solid funding position, Avalon is well-positioned to deliver the Feasibility Study in the first half of

2027 and move decisively toward construction readiness.”

The most significant development was the January 19 announcement that feasibility engineering had commenced at Lake Superior Lithium Inc., the company’s wholly owned lithium hydroxide processing project on a former pulp and paper site 13 km northeast of Thunder Bay. The 2024 preliminary economic assessment by DRA Americas outlined an after-tax net present value of C$4.1 billion at an eight per cent discount rate, a 48 per cent internal rate of return over 30 years, and initial capital costs of C$1.2 billion for a facility designed to produce 30,000 tonnes per year of battery-grade lithium hydroxide. A C$18.65 million financing closed in late 2025 has put the company in a position to deliver the feasibility study without further dilution.

Nordmin Engineering is leading the study, with Primero Americas and Krech Ojard & Associates han-

dling plant and infrastructure design. Metso Corporation, whose proprietary calcination and pressure-leaching technology forms the basis of the process flowsheet, continues in its role from the PEA phase. The Metso process is designed as an environmentally clean, zero-discharge system that avoids acid roasting and produces a by-product mix of analcime and calcium carbonate that can be repurposed as construction material. The study will include tradeoff work evaluating whether lithium hydroxide, lithium carbonate, or a combination represents the optimal product mix based on market demand and customer requirements. Avalon is targeting completion in the first half of 2027.

The Thunder Bay site itself is one of the project’s key advantages. The former pulp and paper facility comes with substantial existing infrastructure: a deep-water port that will be refurbished to receive spodumene

concentrate via Great Lakes freighters, CN Rail access for overland delivery as regional mines come online, natural gas on site, and proximity to 115-kVA power lines. The combination is expected to compress development timelines and capital costs compared with greenfield refinery alternatives.

The project team grew steadily through the quarter. In February, Rachel Bridge of Laira Consulting Services was brought on as interim consultant to coordinate feasibility engineering with Nordmin and Metso. On March 16, Avalon made a more permanent hire, appointing

Glen Smith as project director for the refinery’s feasibility and construction phases. Smith, a professional engineer based in Thunder Bay, brings more than 35 years of experience across the hydrometallurgical, petrochemical, and nuclear industries.

On the rare earth side, Avalon announced on January 15 that it had commissioned Wood Canada to prepare an updated preliminary economic assessment for the Nechalacho rare earth elements and zirconium project near Yellowknife. The study is intended to modernise the project’s 2013 feasibility study by incorporating advances in process -

ing technology and updated cost assumptions.

Completion is expected within roughly six months, after which the company intends to proceed directly to a definitive feasibility study. Land use permits and a water licence are already in place. In early March, Avalon re-engaged Dave Marsh, its former chief operating officer, to support metallurgical process development at Nechalacho. Marsh led the metallurgical programs behind the 2013 study and brings 30 years of process design experience.

On the capital markets front, Avalon appointed SCP Resource Finance on February 9 as strategic capital advisor for both its lithium and rare earth projects.

The mandate covers project-level capital formation and the pursuit of strategic investors and industrial partners. SCP, established in 2023 by the former Sprott Capital Partners team, has participated in more than $6.7 billion in transactions across the mining sector. At the company’s annual meeting on February 26, shareholders elected all seven director nominees and approved the continuation of the stock option and RSU plans.

Beyond its two flagship assets, Avalon also reorganised its joint venture with Sibelco at the Separation Rapids lithium project near Kenora during the quarter — a move that left the company debt-free and eliminated potential dilution from the JV — and continues to advance exploration on its Snowbank lithium and Lilypad lithium-cesium deposits in northwestern Ontario.

Avalon Advanced Materials is a Canadian critical minerals company advancing the Nechalacho rare earth project in the Northwest Territories and the Lake Superior Lithium hydroxide refinery in Thunder Bay. Through its reorganised joint venture with Sibelco, the company also holds an interest in the Separation Rapids lithium project near Kenora.

IMAGINE LITHIUM adds Ruth Pegmatite to Jackpot project near Nipigon

ImagineLithium reported fresh channel sampling results from a newly exposed pegmatite at its Jackpot lithium project in northwestern Ontario, confirming the Ruth Pegmatite as a new mineralized zone with grades and widths consistent with the project’s existing resource and capping a a string of successes that also saw a 45 per cent land expansion, the discovery of polymetallic mineralization on the property, and the launch of an aggressive 2026 exploration plan.

“The addition of the Ruth Pegmatite highlights the scale of the discovery potential for lithium resources at the Jackpot project,” said president Simone Suen, who noted that the fall sampling program had demonstrated “exceptional dike continuity” and significant mineralized widths.

The Ruth Pegmatite, located on the Foster-Lew claims about 140 km northeast of Thunder Bay in the Georgia Lake Pegmatite Field, was first identified during the 2024 field season. In the fall of 2025, the company stripped and exposed 0.157 hectares of bedrock along a 233-metre strike length of the east-south -

east-trending structure. A total of 112 channel samples were collected from ten channels across the exposure and submitted to AGAT Laboratories in Thunder Bay. Highlights released January 19 include 1.34 per cent Li2O over 9.10 metres in channel RCH2506, 1.44 per cent Li2O over 4.85 metres in RCH25-01, 1.15 per cent Li2O over 7.70 metres in RCH25-05, and 1.11 per cent Li2O over 6.35 metres in RCH25-08. A broader interval in RCH25-04 returned 0.89 per cent Li2O over 11.70 metres, including a higher-grade core of 1.38 per cent Li2O over 5.95 metres. The pegmatite remains open in all directions and untested at depth.

The bedrock stripping at Ruth also exposed something unexpected. Older Quetico metasedimentary rocks cut by polymetallic smoky quartz veins were uncovered alongside the pegmatite. The veins host molybdenum, copper, and bismuth — and one 25-centimetre sample collected from a vein contact returned 1.8 per cent molybdenum, 0.67 per cent bismuth, and 0.19 per cent copper. The polymetallic results add an unexpected dimension to a property that has, to this point, been valued strictly for its lithium potential.

The Ruth discovery adds to a growing inventory of mineralized zones on the Jackpot property. The project already hosts an NI 43101 mineral resource of 3.1 million tonnes grading 0.85 per cent Li2O in the indicated category and 5.3 million tonnes grading 0.91 per cent Li2O in the inferred category, distributed across two conceptual pit shells at the Jackpot and Casino Royale zones. Early metallurgical work has produced a 6.0 per cent Li2O spodumene concentrate with

81.5 per cent lithia recovery using heavy liquid separation and a low iron content of 0.76 per cent Fe2O2 — results the company says indicate the mineralization is suitable for the lithium battery supply chain.

The channel sampling results come as Imagine Lithium prepares for an aggressive 2026 exploration program designed to expand known mineralization and test newly identified targets across the property. Planned work includes expansion drilling at both the Jackpot and Casino Royale zones, drill testing at the South Newkirk, South Jackpot, and Cosgrave North targets discovered during the 2025 field season, additional bedrock stripping and geological mapping, and advancing metallurgical optimization and preliminary engineering studies. The company also plans to initiate environmental baseline work and permitting preparations during the year.

In December 2025, Imagine Lithium expanded its land position in the Georgia Lake Pegmatite Field by 45 per cent through the acquisition of the SPOD Lithium Option, adding 8,449 hectares to bring the total property to approximately 27,600 hectares across 297 mineral claims. The claims were purchased from Spod Lithium Corp. for $30,000 and are subject to a 2 per cent net smelter royalty held by Jadeite Capital Ltd. The expansion gives the company a substantially larger footprint to test additional pegmatite systems within the same productive belt.

The Jackpot project is 12 km by road from the Trans-Canada Highway near Nipigon and close to power, rail, and port infrastructure — a logistical profile that gives a future development plan immediate access to the regional supply chain. Imagine Lithium is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on advancing the project through resource growth, metallurgical development, and the identification of new lithium bearing pegmatite systems within its expanding land package.

BMI Group Commits $200 Million to Red Rock Lithium Refinery Development

Amajornew investment is accelerating plans to establish a strategic lithium processing hub in Northwestern Ontario, reinforcing Canada’s role in the rapidly expanding battery materials supply chain. The BMI Group, a Canadian industrial infrastructure and brownfield redevelopment company, has agreed to invest CAD $200 million as the anchor limited partner in a strategic partnership with Rock Tech Lithium Inc. to advance development of a lithium refinery facility in Red Rock, Ontario. This announcement formalizes the long -standing relationship between the two companies, with BMI contributing capital toward site development and a feasibility study at an industrial site previously occupied by the former Norampac mill — a 337-acre property with existing power, rail, and road infrastructure about 100 km east of Thunder Bay.

Strategic Partnership Structure

Under the agreement, Rock Tech will act as the general partner, retaining full control over project development, engineering, and operations. BMI Group, as the lead limited partner and anchor investor, will provide the majority of the initial equity needed to drive the project forward. Additional equity contributions from Rock Tech and future partners are expected as the project advances toward construction. An initial non - dilutive CAD 30 million funding program has also been outlined to progress near-term engineering, environmental, permitting work, and early site preparation, in preparation for a final investment decision (FID) targeted by the end of 2026.

Building Canada’s Lithium Processing Capacity

The planned Red Rock Converter is designed to process spodumene concentrate into battery-grade lithium carbonate or lithium hydroxide, producing as much as ~32,000 tonnes per year — enough to supply major electric vehicle and battery manufacturers. Feedstock is expected to come from Rock Tech’s Georgia Lake lithium deposit, located approximately 60 km north of the site, creating a linked upstream-to-downstream domestic supply chain in Ontario. To reduce execution risk and accelerate development timelines, the facility will leverage the proven converter design from Rock Tech’s Guben, Germany project, which is fully engineered and permitted and already under investment. This transfer of technical know- how helps align the Red Rock project with best practices and reduces first‑of‑a‑kind risk.

Strategic Location and Infrastructure Advantage

The Red Rock site provides significant built- in advantages for a major industrial project:

• ~120 MW of existing power capacity,

• Access to natural gas,

• Proximity to Trans- Canada Highway and CPKC Rail’s mainline,

• Waterfront logistics potential on Lake Superior.

BMI Group CEO Paul Veldman highlighted that the site’s “industrial-ready infrastructure compresses timelines from site selection to production,” signaling confidence in Rock Tech’s technology and market strategy.

Significance for Canada and Global Supply Chains

The partnership advances more than a single facility — it strengthens Canada’s sovereign processing capacity for a critical mineral that is vital to clean energy and electrification technologies. By building capacity on Canadian soil, the Red Rock project supports supply chain security for North American and allied industrial off-takers while reducing reliance on overseas refiners. BMI’s investment also reinforces strategic cooperation between Canadian and European investors, aligning with broader international efforts to secure reliable sources of battery- grade materials as demand surges with growth in electric vehicles, grid storage, and high -technology sectors. A final investment decision by the end of 2026 would set the stage for construction to begin, with commercial operation targeted in the coming years — a significant step toward establishing Ontario as a key hub in the North American critical minerals ecosystem.

Kinross Great Bear lands Ontario fast-track designation near Red Lake

Kinross Gold’s Great Bear project southeast of Red Lake picked up significant momentum in the first quarter of 2026, becoming the first gold mine accepted into Ontario’s “One Project, One Process” fasttrack permitting framework while engineering and construction work advanced on multiple fronts and the company simultaneously moved three U.S. development projects toward construction.

“The ‘One Project, One Process’ designation marks an important milestone for the Great Bear project and reflects Ontario’s leadership in creating the right conditions for responsible, long-term mining investment,” said CEO J. Paul Rollinson. “Great Bear is a generational asset and positioned to become one of Canada’s largest and most profitable gold mines once operational.”

The Ontario government announced on February 17 that Great Bear would be accepted into its 1P1P framework, making it only the third project overall to receive the designation since the streamlined approval process launched in October 2025. It joins Canada Nickel’s Crawford project and Frontier Lithium’s PAK operation in the program. Under the framework, the Ministry of Energy and Mines acts as a single point of contact to coordinate all provincial approvals and Indigenous consultation, with the goal of cutting government review time in half. Ontario’s previous permitting system could take up to 15 years to bring a mine into production.

Great Bear, 24 km southeast of Red Lake, is designed as a combined open-pit and underground operation with an initial mine life of 12 years. A 2024 preliminary economic assessment outlines peak produc -

tion averaging 518,000 ounces of gold per year at an all-in sustaining cost of $812 per ounce, with initial production potential of 5.3 million ounces and longer-term expansion supported by regional exploration. The project represents a capital investment exceeding $5 billion and is expected to create 900 jobs during operations, with peak employment reaching 1,100 workers.

On the development side, Kinross reported in its fourth-quarter and fullyear 2025 results that surface construction for the Advanced Exploration program is 80 per cent complete, while detailed engineering for the main project has reached approximately 35 per cent. Initial procurement for major process plant and surface infrastructure is underway, with contract awards in progress and manufacturing of long-lead items expected to begin later this year. The company has also started early infrastructure planning, including connections to nearby power lines and a natural gas pipeline. Major construction is expected to begin in 2027, with first gold production targeted for late 2029.

Permitting continues to advance on a parallel track. Kinross submitted the second of three phased submissions for the project’s Impact Statement on schedule in December 2025, with the third and final submission on track for the end of the first quarter. The company says it is working closely with First Nations partners on baseline studies, site planning, and future opportunities as the project moves forward.

Exploration across the roughly 120-square-kilometre land package also remains active. Kinross drilled approximately 62,000 metres in 2025, with results stepping out up

to 1.8 km along strike of the main LP zone. The 2026 program calls for roughly 55,000 metres of additional drilling. Meanwhile, on BTU Metals’ adjacent Dixie Halo property, Kinross plans a two-phase drill program of 6,000 to 8,000 metres this year as it works toward earning a 70 per cent interest in the project. Phase one will target strike and dip-and-plunge extensions of gold and copper mineralization in the TNT area.

While Great Bear advances in Ontario, Kinross is also moving three of its U.S. development projects toward construction. The company has announced it is proceeding with build-out at Round Mountain Phase X and Kettle River-Curlew, and at Bald Mountain Redbird 2 — three projects that together represent the next wave of production growth alongside Great Bear. On the corporate side, the company increased its annual cash dividend by 14 per cent, scheduled the release of its Q1 2026 financial results for April 29, and will hold its virtual Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 30.

The fast-track designation also complements broader infrastructure work in the Red Lake region, including consultation on a proposed transmission line from Dryden to Red Lake that would supply power to new mines and growing communities. Ontario’s minister of energy and mines, Stephen Lecce, framed the announcement as part of the province’s push to strengthen domestic mining supply chains amid global economic uncertainty. Ontario remains Canada’s top mineral producer, generating $13 billion worth of minerals in 2024 from 37 active mines across the province, 19 of them gold operations.

Kinross Gold is a Toronto-headquartered senior gold producer with operations and projects in the Americas, West Africa, and Mauritania. Great Bear is positioned as the company’s most significant near‑ term growth project in Canada.

HEMLO MINING Corp.: A Historic Gold Camp Reawakens

Amajor transformation is underway 35 kilometres east of Marathon, Ontario, where Hemlo Mining Corp. is rapidly reshaping one of Canada’s most storied gold camps. Since acquiring the Hemlo Gold Mine from Barrick Mining Corp. for US$1.1 billion late last year, the company has moved decisively—overhauling operations, committing fresh capital, and launching an aggressive exploration push.

A Defining Year

The message from site is clear: 2026 is a turning point. “2026 will be a pivotal year for Hemlo as we execute a disciplined plan to unlock the mine’s full potential,” said President and CEO Jason Kosec. That plan is anchored in momentum. Hemlo produced 143,458 ounces of gold in 2025—its strongest performance in four years—despite operating through a transition period during the sale. Management views the result as proof of both resilience and upside. To reinforce long-term alignment, the company has rolled out its 2026 incentive program, linking executive compensation directly to reserve growth and shareholder returns.

Back to Owner-Operator

At the core of the transformation is a shift to a hybrid owner-operator model. Hemlo is moving away from a fully contractor-based structure, bringing more mining activities in-house to improve cost control, coordination, and flexibility. Manroc Developments Inc. remains a key partner,

continuing Alimak mining and targeted support to ensure continuity. At the same time, the company is doubling down on local hiring—about 70% of the workforce already comes from nearby communities, including Manitouwadge, Marathon, White River, and Biigtigong Nishnaabeg and Netmizaaggamig Nishnaabeg. For Hemlo, it’s a return to its roots, supported by expanded training and apprenticeship programs aimed at building a long-term local workforce.

Reinvesting Underground

The physical transformation underground is already visible. Hemlo has committed more than US$30 million to a new fleet of 21 mobile units arriving through 2026, including haul trucks, jumbos, bolters, and support equipment. The goal: unlock unused capacity. While the operation can hoist 7,100 tonnes per day and mill 10,000 tonnes per day, it is currently utilizing only about 60% of its hoisting capacity. To close that gap, the company is upgrading material handling systems and ventilation while refining mining methods. Automation

between shifts is also being introduced, supporting a planned production ramp-up through 2028.

A Step-Change in Exploration

Exploration is scaling up just as aggressively. In January, Hemlo launched a 130,000-metre drill program—one of the largest in the camp’s history. The work is split across three fronts: 70,000 metres of resource conversion drilling, 30,000 metres of high definition drilling to tighten the mine plan, and 30,000 metres targeting new zones. Kosec calls it a “step-change in ambition,” designed to deliver both near-term confidence and long term growth. Attention is increasingly focused on the E-Zone, located 300 metres west of existing infrastructure. Recent intercepts—19.11 g/t gold over 5.0 metres and 90.45 g/t over 2.6 metres—point to significant potential. The zone is considered analogous to the C-Zone, which has historically produced about 3.7 million ounces.

The Next Phase

The roadmap for 2026 is straightforward: complete the owner-operator transition, integrate the leadership team, and keep drilling. A 300-metre exploration drift is planned to further test the E-Zone, with updated production and cost guidance expected in Q3. For Hemlo Mining Corp., this is more than a reset—it’s a rebuild. With strong gold prices and a clear execution strategy, the company is positioning the operation for a sustained production ramp-up and a new chapter of long-term growth.

Equinox Gold’s Greenstone Mine hits stride

Greenstone Powers

Equinox Gold’s Record Year and Strategic Reset

Equinox Gold’s Greenstone mine near Geraldton has emerged as the operational engine behind a transformative year for the company, delivering record production and enabling a sweeping financial and strategic reset. In the fourth quarter, Greenstone produced 72,091 ounces of gold, a 29% increase over the previous quarter, while achieving a key milestone: 30 consecutive days at its 27,000-tonne-per-day nameplate mill throughput. That sustained performance marked the first time the operation had reached full design capacity since commissioning—effectively resolving the bottlenecks that challenged the mine earlier in 2025. “2025 marked an important year of progress for Equinox Gold,” said CEO Darren Hall. “The merger with Calibre created a tier-one, North America-focused gold producer anchored by two new long-life Canadian mines. While the year required a reset in expectations, particularly at Greenstone, many of those challenges have now been successfully addressed.”

A Turnaround in Motion

Greenstone’s turnaround was driven by improvements across key operational metrics. Open-pit mining rates averaged more than 198,000 tonnes per day in the fourth quarter, up 31% from the first half of the year. Pro -

cessed grades rose to 1.29 grams per tonne gold, a 23% increase from the previous quarter. Together, these gains—higher throughput, stronger mining rates, and improved grades— signaled a fully functioning operation entering 2026. As a result, Greenstone is now positioned as the cornerstone asset in Equinox’s portfolio, with production guidance of 250,000 to 300,000 ounces for the year. To sustain that performance, the company is investing in site infrastructure, including tailings upgrades, expanded water management systems, and additional mining equipment. Exploration drilling at Greenstone will also play a major role in Equinox’s 300,000-metre 2026 drill program, targeting resource expansion and new discoveries.

Record Performance Across the Portfolio

Greenstone’s success underpinned a record year for Equinox Gold, with total production reaching 922,827 ounces and fourth-quarter output hitting a record 247,024 ounces.The company sold 778,561 ounces at an average realized price of US$3,465 per ounce, generating US$2.71 billion in revenue. Cash flow from operations before working capital changes totaled US$915.1 million, while adjusted earnings reached US$420.5 million.

Portfolio Transformation and Debt Reduction

With Greenstone performing and the Valentine mine in Newfoundland reaching commercial production ahead of schedule in November 2025, Equinox moved quickly to streamline its portfolio.The company sold its Brazil operations for US$1.015 billion, along with Nevada assets for US$136.5 million. These divestments enabled Equinox to repay more than US$800 million in debt, reducing net debt from US$1.15 billion to approximately US$75 million within weeks.The strengthened balance sheet allowed Equinox to introduce its first ever dividend, set at US$0.015 per share quarterly, alongside a share buyback program of up to 5% of outstanding shares. Hall described the move as a sign of confidence in the company’s ability to self-fund growth while returning capital to shareholders, supported by Greenstone’s growing cash flow.

Growth Pipeline and Outlook

For 2026, Equinox is guiding consolidated production of 700,000 to 800,000 ounces, with all-in sustaining costs of US$1,775 to US$1,875 per ounce. Growth capital spending is projected at US$325 million to US$375 million, with US$70 million to US$80 million allocated to exploration.Looking ahead, the company’s development pipeline includes a Phase 2 expansion at Valentine, targeting 225,000 to 250,000 ounces annually, as well as the Castle Mountain project in Nevada and Los Filos in Mexico. Together, these projects could add 450,000 to 550,000 ounces of annual production in the coming years. With Greenstone now operating at capacity and anchoring a stronger, more focused portfolio, Equinox Gold has repositioned itself as a leading North American gold producer, combining operational stability, financial strength, and a clear path to long-term growth.

Ontario’s Commitment to Mining and Workforce Development in Northern Ontario

Northern Ontario has long been recognized as one of Canada’s most resource-rich regions, with mining serving as a cornerstone of its economy and community development. As global demand for critical minerals continues to grow, the Ontario government has strengthened its commitment to supporting the mining sector through strategic investments in research, education, and industry partnerships. These efforts are helping position Northern Ontario as a leader in sustainable mining while addressing the increasing demand for skilled workers across the sector.

This commitment was evident at the recent Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto, where Lakehead University hosted its 15th annual Partnership Breakfast. The event brought together government officials, industry leaders, researchers, alumni, and community partners to discuss the future of mining and the critical role Northern Ontario will play in meeting global resource demands.

The Ontario government’s support of the mining industry spans several key areas. Through targeted funding programs and collaborative initiatives, the province continues to encourage innovation, exploration, and economic growth across Northern communities. Ministries responsible for northern development, natural resources, and economic development are working closely with industry and academic institutions to ensure the region remains competitive in the global mining landscape.

A major component of this strategy is investment in research and innovation.

Institutions such as Lakehead University play an essential role in advancing new technologies and sustainable exploration practices. Programs that support research chairs and partnerships with mining companies allow academic research to translate into practical solutions for the industry, helping improve efficiency, environmental stewardship, and resource development.

At the same time, the province recognizes that the future of mining depends heavily on workforce development. Northern Ontario is experiencing a growing need for skilled labour as existing operations expand and new projects move toward development. The rising importance of critical minerals—such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, which are essential for batteries, electric vehicles, and renewable energy technologies—has further increased the demand for qualified professionals across the mining sector.

To help address this need, the Ontario government continues to support partnerships between industry and post-secondary institutions.

Universities and colleges throughout Northern Ontario offer specialized programs in geology, mining

engineering, environmental science, and mineral exploration, providing students with the skills and handson experience required to enter the workforce.

These collaborations help ensure that graduates are well prepared to contribute to a modern, technologically advanced mining industry.

Industry events also play an important role in strengthening connections between government, education, and the private sector. Two of Ontario’s most significant of these events are the Canadian Mining Expo (CME), held annually in Timmins in June and the the Central Canada Resource Expo (CEN CAN Expo) held in Thunder Bay, Ontario in September.

Beyond showcasing innovation and new technologies, the expos also highlight the career opportunities available in Northern Ontario’s mining sector and reinforces the region’s importance to Canada’s resource economy.

The active involvement of provincial leaders in industry events and academic partnerships reflects Ontario’s recognition of mining as both an economic driver and a catalyst for innovation.

Strong collaboration between government, educational institutions, and industry ensures that Northern Ontario continues to attract investment while promoting responsible and sustainable resource development.

As the global demand for critical minerals continues to accelerate, Northern Ontario is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in supplying the resources needed for the transition to cleaner energy technologies. With continued support for research, education, and industry partnerships, the Ontario government is helping ensure the region remains at the forefront of mining excellence while building the skilled workforce needed for the future.

WEST RED LAKE GOLD MINES declares Madsen commercial production at Red Lake

West

Red Lake Gold Mines crossed from developer to producer on New Year’s Day 2026, declaring commercial production at the Madsen mine after a sevenmonth ramp-up that pushed the mill to 86 per cent of permitted capacity. The first quarter of 2026 added three more advances: “jewelry box” drill intercepts at the deeper Austin 904 Complex, a successful infill program at the satellite Fork deposit, and a Rowan drilling campaign that has reshaped design assumptions for a combined Madsen-Rowan prefeasibility study targeted for Q3 2026.

“The 904 Complex in lower Austin is steadily growing into a very important part of the future at Madsen,” said vice president of exploration Will Robinson. He noted that multiple results from 904 already exceed the grades and thicknesses seen in the early holes that established Goldcorp’s High-Grade Zone discovery in Red Lake. The production declaration was backed by strong operating numbers. The Madsen mill averaged 689 tonnes per day in December 2025, with recoveries of 94.6 per cent. Total gold sales revenue for 2025 reached US$73 million. The company expects to reach its permitted 800-tonne-per-day capacity by mid-2026 and aims to become a 100,000-ounce-per-year producer by 2028. The high-grade 4447 area in South Austin was the immediate driver of mill performance, lifting head grades as high as 8.9 g/t in December.

The Austin 904 Complex, deeper in lower Austin, is being positioned

as the next 4447. Results released February 25 included 219.73 g/t gold over 4.75 metres, including one metre grading 1,016.57 g/t, plus intercepts of 148.36 g/t over 3 metres and 133.13 g/t over 2.5 metres. Follow up drilling from the 13 Level, roughly 650 metres deep, has continued to define high grade lenses similar to those outlined in South Austin’s 4447 area during 2025. So far, drilling has tested only the upper 30 metres of a 200-by-200-metre mineralized panel with no historical mining, leaving the main zone intact and opening the door to larger stopes and more efficient development. The company plans to continue drilling through 2026, with initial production expected in the first half of 2027.

“We view the 904 Complex in a similar light as the 4447 area in South Austin,” said president and CEO Shane Williams, noting that the zone could become an important contributor to the mine plan.

The Fork deposit represents the company’s second high-margin infrastructure opportunity. Located just 250 metres from Madsen’s existing underground workings, Fork can be accessed through Level 3 of the McVeigh area without major new development. The Q1 infill drilling program confirmed vein continuity and grades, with highlights including 41.25 g/t gold over one metre. Williams said the program was an important step in de-risking the resource ahead of a construction decision, with the engineering team already working on an initial mine design.

The quarter’s most strategically important exploration story, however, came from Rowan. On March 31, Robinson reported that Rowan infill drilling had delivered strong highgrade continuity in Veins 006b and 013, with intercepts including 141.5 g/t gold over one metre and 84.3 g/t over one metre.

These veins were largely overlooked by historical operators, who sampled only core with visible gold, leaving major gaps in the data. The 2025 preliminary economic assessment envisioned Rowan as a small-footprint underground operation producing 400 tonnes per day at an average diluted grade of 8 g/t gold. By incorporating 006b and 013 into the production profile, Robinson said the company could materially increase daily mined tonnage and improve project economics.

Strong intercepts along strike from previously modelled Veins 001 and 003 also point to continued resource growth through expansion drilling. The combined Madsen‑ Rowan PFS remains targeted for Q3 2026.

Together, these developments — Madsen’s commercial production, the Austin 904 Complex at depth, the Fork satellite beside existing infrastructure, and the Rowan huband-spoke opportunity — show a company executing a coordinated growth strategy rather than chasing a single asset. West Red Lake Gold Mines is positioning Madsen as its operating cornerstone, with Rowan, Fork and the Austin 904 Complex expected to help feed the Madsen mill in the years ahead.

Everything You Need, One Place

GOLD X2 working with $116M AngloGold backing for Moss project west of Thunder Bay

X2 Mining has closed one of the largest strategic financings in the Canadian junior gold sector this year and filed a preliminary economic assessment for its Moss Gold Project west of Thunder Bay, capping a first half defined by a major vote of confidence from AngloGold Ashanti, deep drill intercepts that open up a new underground dimension for the deposit, and a steady run of grade control results reinforcing the resource model.

“We are very pleased to welcome AngloGold Ashanti and Hess Capital as future strategic shareholders,” said CEO Michael Henrichsen. “Both AngloGold Ashanti and Gold X2 have a shared vision of growing the Moss Gold Project into Canada’s next Tier One gold producing asset.”

The $115.9 ‑million financing package, announced in late January, consisted of a $93.3 million charity flow through offering and a $22.6-million unit placement. AngloGold Ashanti acquired roughly 59 million shares through the flow through portion, giving it a 9.9 per cent equity interest in the company, and the two par-

ties agreed to form a joint technical committee to share expertise and discuss future project development. Michael Hess, chief investment officer of Hess Capital, took the unit placement and will provide consulting services to Gold X2.

On March 12, Gold X2 filed the technical report supporting the PEA. The updated resource stands at 2.458 million ounces of indicated gold at 1.04 g/t contained in 73.8 million tonnes, plus 4.209 million ounces of inferred gold at 0.97 g/t in 134.7 million tonnes, setting the stage for a potential long-life, lowcost operation.

The quarter’s technical headlines came from a series of deep intercepts in the QES Zone beneath the pit shell defined in the PEA. In early March, hole MQD-25-326 returned 117 metres grading 1.21 g/t gold from 816 metres depth, including 19 metres of 3.33 g/t and a higher grade core of 10 metres at 4.37 g/t, discovering a new high-grade shoot about 280 metres below the pit that could support underground mining if confirmed by follow up drilling. Results released in April from drill hole extensions reinforced that depth potential, with hole MQD-25-181 returning 100.75 metres grading 1.50 g/t gold from 494 metres, including 48 metres of 2.34 g/t and 14 metres at 3.94 g/t. Other extended holes also intersected broad zones of near-gramper-tonne gold, highlighted by 88.6 metres at 0.96 g/t and 78.0 metres at 0.90 g/t including 6.6 metres at 4.59 g/t. The mineralization remains open at depth, with results from four additional holes still pending.

“These results continue to demonstrate the optionality at Moss, with the potential to deepen the open pit and also evaluate underground mining scenarios,” said Henrichsen.

Final results from the 2025 surface campaign added another strong intercept in the Superion Zone — 9.0 metres at 3.13 g/t gold, including 3.95 metres at 6.94 g/t — in an area not included in the current resource. To

accelerate the program, Gold X2 plans to increase the number of drills on site from three to five as it pushes for resource growth through 2026.

Grade control drilling through the quarter also produced encouraging results. At the Main Zone, 61 holes drilled on a tight 12.5-metre pattern found 23 per cent more and wider shear zones than predicted by the resource model. A parallel program of 58 holes at the QES Zone showed a similar pattern, with 32 per cent more shears than modelled and headline intercepts of 87 metres at 1.75 g/t and 83 metres at 1.56 g/t gold. In parallel, the company tested PhotonAssay technology against traditional fire assay methods on roughly 2,000 samples, with results showing close agreement. Gold X2 plans to adopt PhotonAssay for routine analysis to reduce turnaround times.

On the greenfields front, four scout holes at the Bunker target along the five kilometre Deaty trend, about two kilometres south of Moss, discovered two new parallel mineralized structures — the Sand Shear and the Wedge Shear. The Wedge Shear returned 17 metres of 1.23 g/t gold from 21 metres, including 8 metres of 2.50 g/t. Follow up drilling at Bunker is planned for late in the second quarter. The company also expanded its position in the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt in January by signing an agreement to acquire Sky Gold Corp.’s option on the Star Lake property, an undrilled 10,540-hectare claim package 23 km east of Moss, bringing its total holdings to more than 40,000 hectares.

Gold X2 Mining is a Vancouverbased exploration company led by Henrichsen, formerly global head of structural geology for the world’s largest gold producer. Its flagship Moss Gold Project benefits from direct Trans-Canada Highway access and nearby hydroelectric power, and has seen more than $100 million in new capital invested and more than 300,000 metres of drilling completed.

Scaling Toward a Million: Orla Mining’s Transformative Year

For Orla Mining, 2025 marked a step-change in scale. By surpassing 300,000 ounces of annual gold production for the first time, the Vancouver-based producer signaled that its path toward becoming a million ounce a year company is firmly underway.

A Transformative Anchor in the North

The catalyst was Orla’s acquisition of the Musselwhite Mine in north -

western Ontario from Newmont— described by CEO Jason Simpson as “absolutely transformative.” The operation has quickly become the cornerstone of the business, more than doubling Orla’s production profile. In its first ten months under Orla, Musselwhite exceeded the top end of guidance, contributing 203,856 ounces in 2025. Beyond near-term output, the company’s “Growth for Longer” strategy is already delivering results, with surface drilling intersect-

ing mineralization two kilometres beyond previous workings—potentially tripling the resource footprint and extending mine life for decades.

Resilience in Mexico

At Camino Rojo in Mexico, Orla demonstrated operational resilience. Following a pit wall event in July 2025, the team maintained production by processing stockpiles while re-establishing the north wall. The operation finished the year with 96,764 ounces, meeting revised guidance. Looking to 2026, Camino Rojo is expected to strengthen in the second half as mining returns to higher-grade zones. Meanwhile, the Camino Rojo Sulphide Project continues to advance, with a Preliminary Economic Assessment expected in the first half of the year.

NEVADA: The Next Growth Pillar

Orla’s third pillar, the South Railroad Project in Nevada, is advancing toward construction. The company plans to invest $215 million in 2026 to develop a high-margin, open-pit heap leach operation similar to Camino Rojo. Once in production, South Railroad is expected to add roughly 130,000 ounces annually, further diversifying Orla’s portfolio within a premier U.S. mining jurisdiction.

Financial Strength and a Million-Ounce Vision

www.fournierindustries.com

This growth is supported by a strong balance sheet. Orla ended 2025 with net cash of $35.8 million and announced its inaugural quarterly dividend of US$0.015 per share— signaling confidence in its ability to fund growth while returning capital. With 2026 production guidance centered at 350,000 ounces, the company is tracking toward 500,000 ounces by 2028 and a longer-term goal of one million ounces annually. Despite inflationary pressures, Simpson emphasizes that Orla’s first quartile cost structure positions it to remain resilient across the gold cycle.

DRYDEN GOLD ’s Gap Hole hits 15 structures over 600 metres near Dryden

Dryden Gold Corp. has sharply expanded the footprint and depth of its Gold Rock target area in northwestern Ontario, intersecting 15 gold mineralized structures in a single drill hole at the Big Master system, opening a new high-grade footwall discovery at Pearl, releasing a property-wide gold-in-till survey that outlined a 65-kilometre corridor of anomalies, and closing a financing that nearly doubled its 2026 drill budget.

“Gap Hole 2 significantly expands Gold Rock by intersecting 15 gold mineralized structures over 600 metres,” said CEO Trey Wasser. “It shows that the high-grade structures discovered in last year’s drilling extend along strike for 500 metres. It proves that Big Master continues to depths of over 450 metres below surface, 200 metres deeper than previous drilling. This nearly doubles the potential of Big Master where it remains open at depth.” The hole, DGR-031, was drilled from the footwall of Elora to the hanging wall of Big Master, testing continuity of parallel structures first identified 500 metres to the south in 2025. At 460 metres true depth, it returned 2.64 g/t gold over 2.50 metres, including 10.80 g/t over 0.50 metres on

the Treasure structure — the deepest intercept drilled at Big Master to date. A second footwall zone at Pearl graded 77.90 g/t gold over 0.50 metres.

Additional drilling at Gold Rock continued to expand the Treasure and Barrelman zones. Hole DGR036 returned 5.03 g/t gold over 7.50 metres, including 43.60 g/t over 0.58 metres on Treasure, while DGR-037 hit 5.73 g/t gold over 2.20 metres, including 32.90 g/t over 0.30 metres. In April, the company added three more high-grade discoveries on the Big Master system, led by DGR-048, which returned 32.87 g/t gold over 4.25 metres, including 252.00 g/t over 0.50 metres in the Sparrow zone. The discoveries extended mineralization 300 metres beyond known zones and below historical mine workings.

In early February, the company reported the first significant mineralization in the footwall of the Elora shear at Pearl, creating a new exploration target at Gold Rock. Five holes totalling about 1,600 metres tested 600 metres of strike from Jubilee to Pearl. Hole DGR-032 returned 6.4 g/t gold over 3.30 metres, including 15.10 g/t over 1.00 metre, in the new footwall zone, and intersected

1.61 g/t gold over 16.40 metres on the main Elora shear. “These new results from Pearl are very exciting,” said president Maura Kolb. “For the first time, we are seeing high grade mineralization in the footwall of Pearl much like the high-grade mineralization we encountered last year in the hanging wall structures at Jubilee.”

Beyond drilling, Dryden Gold released results from a property-wide gold-in-till survey completed during the 2025 field season. A total of 3,816 till samples outlined multiple gold anomalies across a 65-kilometre corridor along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone. Results were especially strong at Hyndman, where the company staked an additional 5,200 hectares to expand the target area to more than 20 kilometres. In February, the company also completed its final payments under the Tremblay Option Agreement, securing a 100 per cent interest in that project.

On the corporate side, Dryden Gold closed an upsized flow through financing in late January, raising about $1.85 million through 4.35 million charity flow through shares priced at $0.425 each. Combined with warrant exercises from late 2025, the financing increased the 2026 drill budget by 75 to 100 per cent, now estimated at 23,000 to 25,000 metres. Centerra Gold exercised its top-up rights in early January to maintain its 9.99 per cent interest. The company also upgraded its U.S. listing from the OTCQB to the OTCQX marketplace on February 24 to improve trading access for American shareholders.

Dryden Gold controls a 100-percent interest in a district-scale 70,000-hectare land package in the Dryden area, covering more than 50 kilometres of strike along the Manitou-Dinorwic deformation zone. The property includes historic gold mines but has seen limited modern exploration. Spring drilling will remain focused on Gold Rock, with additional permitting underway at Mud Lake, Hyndman and Sherridon.

COEUR MINING : A New Operator, A New Trajectory at Rainy River

Anew operator is taking the reins at one of Ontario’s largest gold mines—and moving fast to reset its trajectory. With the March 2026 acquisition of New Gold Inc., Coeur Mining has made a decisive entry into Canada, placing the Rainy River Mine at the center of its growth strategy. For Coeur, the move is transformational. For Rainy River, it marks the start of a new operating chapter built on stability, optimization, and scale.

A Defining Entry into Canada

The roughly US$7 billion transaction instantly reshaped Coeur’s production profile, adding both Rainy River and New Afton to its portfolio and boosting overall gold output by nearly 80%. But the real story is focus. Rainy River is no longer a turnaround asset—it’s a core operation expected to anchor the company’s North American growth. Management has already signaled confidence, pointing to 2026 as a potential record-setting year for the mine.

Production: Hitting a New Gear

Rainy River is entering this new phase with momentum. For 2026, Coeur is guiding: 230,000 to 275,000 ounces of gold 350,000 to 450,000 ounces of silver

Beyond that, the company is targeting a three-year average of approximately 287,000 ounces annually,

positioning Rainy River as a steady, mid-tier producer with meaningful free cash flow potential. Located roughly 65 kilometres northwest of Fort Frances, the operation blends open-pit mining with a growing underground component—an approach that is increasingly central to its future.

From Turnaround to Optimization

The heavy lifting has largely been done. Operational improvements made prior to the acquisition stabilized performance and strengthened cash flow in 2025. Now, Coeur’s mandate is clear: optimize what’s already in place. That means driving efficiencies, tightening costs, and maximizing throughput from existing infrastructure—rather than pursuing high-risk expansion.

At the heart of this strategy is the underground ramp-up. As highergrade underground material increas-

ingly supplements open-pit feed, the mine is expected to deliver more consistent production while improving overall economics.

THE ROADMAP: 2026 and Beyond

The near-term plan is straightforward—and execution-focused: 2026: First full year under Coeur, targeting up to 275,000 ounces 2026–2028: Stabilized production averaging ~287,000 ounces annually

Medium term: Expanded underground contribution to extend mine life and support steady output

Technical work to support mine life extensions is already underway, reinforcing Rainy River’s long-term role within Coeur’s portfolio.

A Platform, Not a Project

For Coeur Mining, Rainy River is more than an acquisition—it’s a platform. With established infrastructure, scalable production, and long-term upside, the asset provides the kind of operational base the company has been building toward. Alongside New Afton, it anchors a more diversified, Canada inclusive portfolio. The strategy now is disciplined execution: deliver consistent ounces, extend the mine’s life, and unlock incremental value year by year. In a gold sector increasingly defined by scale and reliability, Rainy River is no longer a question mark. Under new ownership, it’s a cornerstone.

EVOLUTION ’s Golden Year: How Operational Excellence is Redefining 2026

For Evolution Mining, 2026 isn’t just another year on the calendar—it’s a record breaking masterclass in mining efficiency and strategic growth. Reporting a staggering statutory net profit of $767 million for the first half of the 2026 financial year—a massive 110% increase—the company is proving that “consistent and reliable performance” is more than just a boardroom buzzword. While the company’s roots are deep in the Australian soil, much of the recent 2026 momentum is being driven by its high-potential Ontario asset: Red Lake.

Investing in Ontario’s Future

In early April 2026, Evolution shifted its focus toward the longevity of its Canadian operations, specifically emphasizing human capital and community ties. The company recently celebrated the completion of a major initiative titled “Building the next generation of mining professionals at Red Lake,” a program designed to secure the future of mining in Northwestern Ontario. This educational investment follows a high profile leadership visit in late January 2026, which saw partners from the Wabauskang First Nations visit the Red Lake site to strengthen cultural and professional ties. These moves align with Evolution’s broader commitment to social responsibility, which recently saw the company recognized in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026. As Managing Director and CEO Lawrie Conway puts it, the company’s success is built on “safely delivering

to plan,” a strategy that has seen recordable injury frequencies drop by 35% across the board.

The Numbers Behind the Surge

The financial picture for 2026 is, in the words of one Aussie market observer, “cracking”. Beyond the headline profit, Evolution has significantly deleveraged its balance sheet, slashing gearing to just 6% by the end of 2025. This robust financial health allowed the board to declare a record interim dividend of 20 cents per share, a move intended to reward shareholders during a period of high metal prices. CEO Lawrie Conway highlighted that these results weren’t just a byproduct of a lucky market. “Our profits and cash flows were more than double and yet the gold price only moved up 35%,” Conway noted in a recent interview. “It was really on our operational performance where each of the operations contributed”.

A Multi-Commodity Vision

While gold remains the primary focus with a 2026 production guidance of 710,000 to 780,000 ounces, Evolution is increasingly positioning itself as a copper powerhouse. The company anticipates that copper could eventually constitute up to 40% of its total revenue, providing a crucial “smooth out” for cash flows as the world transitions toward renewable energy. Every asset in the portfolio— from the massive Cowal expansion in Australia to the historic depths of Red Lake—is currently slated for either a mine life extension or a production growth project. “Every asset’s got a role to play this year to make sure we build on what we did in FY25,” Conway stated.

Looking Ahead

As of April of this year, Evolution is operating with a “rinse and repeat” mentality, focusing on maintaining the momentum of its record-breaking half-year results. With a healthy balance sheet and a clear pipeline of high-return projects, the company is not in a rush to make desperate deals. Instead, it is focusing on the “optionality” and “flexibility” of its current assets, ensuring that 2026 remains a year of unprecedented financial and operational strength.

As Conway summarizes: “Our half year result reflects the strength of our operating discipline and our ability to capture the upside in a favourable metal price environment”. For the residents of Red Lake and investors alike, that discipline is paying off in a big way.

NEWTERRA RESOURCES lands Ferdinand and Willans gold options near Red Lake

Newterra Resources spent the first part of 2026 executing a deliberate pivot from a single-project British Columbia explorer into a Red Lake-focused junior, raising fresh working capital in early February and then securing two option agreements in the Red Lake Mining District — first the Ferdinand Gold property on February 17 and then the Willans Gold property on March 9. Together, the acquisitions establish Newterra as a new entrant in one of Canada’s most storied goldproducing regions.

“We are very pleased to have secured the Ferdinand Gold property as we believe it has great potential,” said CEO Darren Blaney. “Very littleknown historic exploration has occurred on the property due to past inaccessibility challenges. Very recent logging operations have now opened access considerably with new logging roads and cutblocks potentially exposing previously unsampled bedrock structures. We look forward to getting boots on the ground.”

The Q1 expansion was enabled by a $100,000 non-brokered private placement announced January 5 and closed February 6. The financing issued two million units at five cents each, with each unit consist-

ing of one common share and one full warrant exercisable at six cents for two years. A company director purchased 100,000 units for $5,000, and no finder’s fees were paid.

The Ferdinand Gold property covers more than 15,000 acres within the Confederation-Uchi Greenstone Belt, straddling the Fry-Bamaji Deformation Zone. It lies near First Mining Gold’s Springpole project and in the same area as the Kenorland/ Auranova South Uchi project. Under the option agreement, Newterra will pay $77,000 in cash and issue 300,000 common shares over three years to earn a 100 per cent interest. The vendors retain a 1.5 per cent net smelter returns royalty, with Newterra holding the right to buy back 0.5 per cent for $600,000. The first 300,000-share issuance was completed on February 24.

What makes Ferdinand unusual, in Blaney’s view, is that its limited historical exploration reflects poor access rather than poor geology. Recent logging roads and cutblocks have opened the property, exposing bedrock structures that earlier explorers could not easily reach. For a junior with limited capital, that combination creates a compelling earlystage opportunity.

Less than three weeks after solidifying the Ferdinand deal, Newterra announced its second Red Lake transaction. On March 9, the company entered into an option agreement to acquire the Willans Gold property, reinforcing its move from a singleasset explorer to a company assembling a broader regional position in the Red Lake camp. The Red Lake district has drawn renewed attention from both junior and mid-tier explorers, with the Confederation-Uchi belt seeing a wave of new staking. Ferdinand’s lack of historical exploration could work in Newterra’s favour if the newly opened access allows teams to identify targets that earlier programs missed. The same logic may apply to Willans, depending on conditions on that ground.

Newterra Resources is a British Columbia-based gold and silver exploration company that listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange in April 2025. In addition to the two new Red Lake options, the company retains a 100 per cent interest in the Iron Horse project near Kelowna, British Columbia. With the Ontario acquisitions now in place, Iron Horse becomes one of three properties in the company’s portfolio rather than its sole material asset.

SPRINGPOLE : A Defining Project in Northwestern Ontario’s Gold Revival

Northwestern Ontario’s gold sector continues to build momentum, and few projects better capture that resurgence than the Springpole Gold Project, being advanced by First Mining Gold Corp..

Positioned as one of the largest undeveloped gold assets in Canada, Springpole is steadily moving through the final stages of permitting, with the federal and provincial environmental assessment process, underway since 2018, now forecast to conclude in the second quarter of 2026. That milestone would mark a major step toward construction for a project that has long been viewed as a cornerstone development in the region.

At its core, Springpole is a large scale, open pit operation with a projected capital cost of approximately US$1.1 billion. The mine plan outlines a nine year life of mine, during which an estimated 2.6 million ounces of gold will be mined and processed. The scale alone places Springpole among a select group of projects capable of materially contributing to Canada’s gold output in the coming decade.

But beyond production metrics, the project’s broader economic footprint is coming into sharper focus. First Mining Gold recently released a detailed socioeconomic analysis outlining the potential regional and provincial benefits tied to development. The findings reinforce what many in the industry have anticipated: Springpole has the potential to become a major economic driver in northwestern Ontario.

Construction and operations are expected to generate significant employment opportunities, with a strong emphasis on local hiring and Indigenous participation. Infrastructure development tied to the project, including access roads and site facilities, would further enhance regional connectivity and long-term economic activity.

Equally important is the project’s timing. As several legacy mines across Ontario mature, new large-scale developments like Springpole are increasingly critical to sustaining production levels and supporting the broader mining ecosystem. In this context, Springpole is not just another project in the pipeline, it is part of a generational shift in the region’s gold sector.

Challenges remain, particularly as the project moves through the final stages of environmental review and toward a construction decision. However, with a defined development plan, clear production profile, and growing emphasis on responsible development, Springpole is emerging as one of the most closely watched gold projects in Canada.

As northwestern Ontario continues to reassert itself as a premier mining jurisdiction, Springpole stands out, not only for its size, but for its potential to help shape the region’s next chapter of gold production.

The Glassbox Revolution: How WYLOO is Redefining Critical Minerals in 2026

The mining industry has long operated behind what Steve Crozier, Wyloo’s Vice President of Sustainability, calls a “default blackbox model”—a world where activity is high but real-time understanding for those outside the company is low. But as 2026 unfolds, Wyloo is shattering that box, replacing it with a “glassbox” philosophy rooted in radical transparency, artificial intelligence, and deep seated partnerships with First Nation communities.

A Fast Start to 2026

Wyloo kicked off the year by doubling down on its global strategic investments. In January, the company announced it had exercised its option to acquire Newmont Corporation’s remaining 9.9% interest in Greatland, reinforcing its support for the Havieron and Telfer gold-copper projects in Australia. This move follows a string of late-2025 successes, including a partnership between the Yangibana Joint Venture (of which Wyloo owns 60%) and Ucore Rare Metals to advance rare earth processing in the United States.

The “Jumbotron” of Sustainability

The buzz surrounding the company jumped in March 2026 at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention in Toronto. There, Wyloo showcased its AI-driven approach to real-time sustainability reporting. Crozier, speaking on the company’s vision,

used a poignant sports analogy to describe the industry’s current lack of transparency. “Imagine you went and were watching a Blue Jays game... and you look up at the jumbotron and instead of the score and the stats... it was blank,” Crozier remarked, noting that such a scenario would be “highly disorienting”. “Our industry is the Blue Jays game with the jumbotron totally blacked out and it doesn’t need to be that way,” he stated, emphasizing that real-time data allows companies to “spot issues earlier and then solve them visibly”.

Redesigning the Eagle’s Nest

At the heart of Wyloo’s Canadian operations is the Eagle’s Nest Project in Ontario’s Ring of Fire, described as one of the world’s highest-grade undeveloped nickel sulfide deposits. In 2026, the project is characterized by a “small footprint” design that has shrunk from an original proposal of 800 hectares to just 100 hectares. This design prioritizes the environment by:

Going Underground: Placing almost all infrastructure, including tailings, back underground to minimize surface impact.

Water Management: Mitigating risks to the sensitive region by minimizing interactions with surface water bodies.

Repurposing Material: Using inert “granodiorite” pulled from the mine for site infrastructure and road construction, reducing the need for external aggregate sources.

Partnerships Beyond “Land Acknowledgements”

Wyloo’s 2026 strategy is inextricably linked to First Nations leadership. The Eagle’s Nest Project sits on the traditional territory of the Marten Falls and Webequie First Nations. For Wyloo, reconciliation is defined by “partnership in action”.

Crozier highlighted that infrastructure like roads and transmission lines are now being led by First Nation proponents rather than the company itself. “Land acknowledgements are good but really it’s what you do after that,” Crozier said, echoing sentiments shared by former mining officials. “It is the fulfillment of the partnership... that’s really where your efforts in terms of reconciliation need to be judged”.

Looking Downstream

As the year progresses, Wyloo is also evaluating a potential downstream battery materials processing facility in Sudbury to convert high ‑ grade sulfide material into battery metals. This aligns with a broader strategy to move away from “rip and ship” mining and toward domestic value-added production.

From the boardrooms of Perth to the rugged terrain of Northern Ontario, Wyloo’s 2026 trajectory is clear: delivering the green critical minerals necessary for the energy transition through a model that is as transparent as it is ambitious.

The Ring of Fire Reborn: Juno Corp.’s Breakthrough

The year 2026 has become a defining moment for Ontario’s Ring of Fire. Juno Corp., already the largest mineral claimholder in this nationally strategic district, has launched an exploration campaign of uncommon scale and ambition. With a land position covering about 5,796 km² — roughly the size of the Greater Toronto Area — the company is driving a new chapter in Canadian mining.

A Drilling Program for the Decade

At the centre of the story is what Juno believes to be the largest drilling program the region has seen in more than a decade. Backed by a fully funded $20 million budget, the 2026 campaign is focused on two

flagship discoveries: the Big Thunder gold district and the Vespa critical minerals complex. Robert Cudney, Founder, Director and CEO of Juno Corp., said: “With drills now turning on what we believe to be the largest exploration program this region has seen in decades, we are building on the exceptional discoveries at Big Thunder and Vespa.” The technical scope is equally ambitious, with 100 drill holes planned over about 28,000 metres.

Big Thunder is slated for 50 holes targeting high-grade gold, while Vespa will see another 50 holes aimed at supporting a maiden mineral resource estimate. “The simultaneous advancement of a district-scale gold system and a uniquely enriched critical minerals complex is rare in exploration — and we are just getting started,” Cudney said.

Powering the Future with Critical Minerals

A major boost for Juno this year was the Ontario government’s decision to add high-purity iron and aluminum to the province’s Critical Minerals List. The move directly supports Juno’s Vespa discovery, which is rich in highpurity iron, titanium, vanadium, scandium and gallium. Cudney called the policy update a “bold and forwardthinking step” that highlights the role of these minerals in clean steel, advanced manufacturing and next-generation technologies. He added that discoveries such as Vespa show the Ring of Fire’s potential to anchor secure, made-in-Ontario supply chains for the materials needed to drive innovation and strengthen industrial competitiveness.

Regional Momentum

The company’s position has also strengthened through growing investment and regional support. Northfield Capital Corporation recently increased its ownership in Juno to 34.7 per cent and announced a planned name change to Juno International Corp., reflecting the company’s rising profile. Development across the region is also accelerating. With the winter road open, Juno successfully mobilized heavy equipment and personnel to its Oval Lake Camp base. At the same time, Webequie and Marten Falls First Nations are advancing road environmental assessments, while the province has prioritized the 230-kilometre Greenstone transmission line to bring power to the region.

The Vision Ahead

For Cudney and his team, the pace of activity reflects a long-term vision for responsible exploration and technical progress. “This is a transformational moment for Juno and for the Ring of Fire,” he said. With every turn of the drill, Juno is not only advancing exploration — it is helping shape Ontario’s industrial future.

Charging the Future: FRONTIER LITHIUM ’s Power Play in 2026

Therace to secure the green energy future of North America is accelerating, and Frontier Lithium Inc. has spent 2026 solidifying its position as a critical link in the electric vehicle supply chain. From multi-million-dollar financial injections to high level international recognition, the company is transforming the rugged landscape of Ontario’s Great Lakes region into a strategic hub for the continent’s battery needs.

A $15 Million Vote of Confidence

The most recent surge in momentum came in April, when Frontier announced a C$15 million bought deal prospectus offering. Led by a syndicate of underwriters including BMO Capital Markets, the deal involves the sale of 20 million units at C$0.75 per unit. Each unit provides investors with a common share and a warrant, signaling strong market appetite for the company’s vision. These funds are earmarked for a clear purpose: the advancement of the PAK Lithium Project. The capital will support the completion of updated mine and mill technical reports, facilitate activities related to government-funded infrastructure initiatives, and propel the Lithium Conversion Study toward reality. As the company’s board of directors, led by President & CEO Trevor Walker, has stated, the objective is to become a “strategic and integrated supplier of premium spodumene concentrates as well as battery-grade lithium salts” to the growing electric vehicle and energy storage markets.

Strategic Alliances and Global Recognition

The financial boost follows a series of landmark strategic developments in early 2026. In March, Frontier achieved a new level of geopolitical importance when it was recognized

under the G7 Critical Minerals Production Alliance. This recognition, coupled with federal permitting coordination, highlights the project’s significance to national and international energy security. Just a week prior, Frontier signaled its intent to dominate the downstream supply chain by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with Panasonic Energy. This partnership is designed to advance North American battery supply chain efforts, potentially linking Frontier’s Ontario-mined lithium directly to the batteries powering the next generation of electric vehicles.

THE PAK LITHIUM PROJECT: A Tier-One Asset

The foundation of all this activity is the PAK Lithium Project, a joint venture between Frontier, which holds a 92.5% interest, and Mitsubishi Corporation, which holds 7.5%. Located north of Red Lake, the project maintains the largest land position and resource in a premium lithium mineral district. The project’s scale is

reflected in its 2025 Feasibility Study, which confirmed: An after‑ tax net present value of $932 million. An internal rate of return of 17.9%.

A projected 31-year project life. Building a Domestic Supply Chain

Frontier is not just looking to mine; it is looking to convert. The company is advancing a downstream lithium conversion facility in Thunder Bay which is key to supporting a secure domestic lithium supply for the clean energy transition. This integrated approach earned the company conditional approval under NRCan’s Global Partnerships Initiative to advance lithium by-product valorization efforts. As Frontier Lithium moves toward the close of its latest offering, the picture of the company is one of rapid maturation. By blending aggressive capital raises with elite global partnerships and government backing, Frontier is no longer just a mining prospect; it is a cornerstone of the industrial evolution of North America.

Clean Air, Critical Metals: Inside CLEAN AIR METALS’ High-Stakes Vision

Asthe global race for critical minerals intensifies, Clean Air Metals Inc. is positioning its flagship Thunder Bay North (TBN) Project as a cornerstone of North American resource sovereignty. Located just 40 kilometers northeast of Thunder Bay, the project is rapidly evolving from a promising exploration site into a high-value strategic asset.

The company’s momentum hit a new gear in March when it secured up to $200,000 in funding through the Ontario Junior Exploration Program (OJEP). This nondilutive capital is earmarked for the Escape down-plunge target, where recent drilling has already yielded a massive 53-meter intersection of resource-grade mineralization.

“Ontario is leading the charge to secure the minerals that will power our economy and strengthen our sovereignty,” stated Stephen Lecce, Minister of Energy and Mines, regarding the grant. He noted that the province is backing companies like Clean Air Metals to “unlock resources, create jobs, and build a more self-reliant and secure Canadian economy”.

Mike Garbutt, President and CEO of Clean Air Metals, echoed this sentiment, calling the support a vital contribution to junior exploration. “This input of non-dilutive capital... demonstrates strong support for mineral development by the provincial government,” Garbutt remarked.

The $708 Million Opportunity

The urgency behind the TBN project is fueled by a dramatic shift in market fundamentals. By January 2026, spot prices for platinum, copper, and palladium had soared, appreciating by 70%, 25%, and 50% respectively over previous study estimates. These record prices have transformed the project’s outlook. Recent financial modeling shows a staggering pre-tax Net Present Value (NPV) of $708

A Vision for Regional Excellence

million and a 100% internal rate of return (IRR). This represents a massive leap from the $219.4 million NPV projected in late 2025. “2026 will be a pivotal year for Clean Air Metals,” Garbutt predicted. “Our primary objective now is to advance the Thunder Bay North project technical studies with urgency... The significant improvement in PGE and Copper markets adds to the potential value of this asset”.

Clean Air Metals isn’t just looking to build a mine; they are aiming to create a regional processing hub. Their 2026 strategic objectives include:

• Developing a stand-alone mill business case to become a regional processing center for Copper-PGE feed.

• Implementing new metallurgical test programs to confirm toll milling performance.

• Finalizing early designs for site access roads and power infrastructure.

• Progressing Advanced Exploration permitting, including approvals for a future ramp and bulk sample.

Partnership and Heritage

The TBN project stands out as a rare primary platinum resource outside of South Africa, situated in a stable, mining friendly jurisdiction. Crucially, the company operates with the active participation of local First Nations communities, acknowledging the project’s location within the RobinsonSuperior Treaty of 1850 area. Clean Air Metals remains committed to a relationship based on “mutual trust, respect, reciprocity, and collaboration” with partners such as the Fort William First Nation and Red Rock Indian Band. As the company continues discussions with potential strategic partners, the goal remains clear: to develop a secure source of critical metals for the North American manufacturing sector and create longterm value for shareholders. For Clean Air Metals, 2026 is the year they predict vision becomes a reality.

GENERATION MINING : A Powerhouse Start to 2026 for the Marathon Project

Generation Mining hit the ground running in 2026, transforming a massive vision for Northwestern Ontario into a well-funded, expert-led reality. Since the calendar turned, the company has been on a relentless path of growth, securing tens of millions in capital and assembling a “dream team” to drive its flagship Marathon Copper Palladium Project toward production.

A Surge of Investor Confidence

The year began with a bang when Generation Mining announced a “bought deal” public offering on January 7th, initially seeking $20 million. Investor demand was so high that the Company upsized the deal twice within a week. By January 15th, they officially closed the offering for a staggering $34.5 million in gross proceeds. The company said the offering included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. These funds are earmarked for a clear purpose: advancing exploration and development at the Marathon Project, which is expected to be a significant future source of critical metals essential to electrification and decarbonization.

Strengthening the Ranks

With the capital secured, Generation turned its focus to leadership. In late January, the company appointed Paul McRae and Jeremy Wyeth as Technical Advisors, bringing a combined 80 years of international mining experience to the table. “We are very pleased to welcome Paul and

Jeremy as Technical Advisors to help advance the Marathon Project,” said Jamie Levy, President and CEO of Generation Mining. He emphasized that their “collective experience in mine development, construction, and operations will be invaluable as the company moves the Marathon Copper-Palladium Project forward. The momentum continued into February with the addition of Rachel Pineault as Executive Vice President Corporate Affairs and Human Resources, and Erich Meintjes as Vice President Engineering. These hires are designed to support the “development, construction, and future operation” of the Project.

Community and Strategic Milestones

Building on its dedication to “empowering communities” and “responsible mining,” the Company secured a $750,000 strategic investment from the Biigtigong Nishnaabeg First Nation in February. This partnership highlights the local support for a project that aims to deliver significant value to stakeholders and a greener future. Perhaps the most pivotal technical milestone

occurred on March 2nd, when the company awarded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCM) contract to Ausenco Engineering Canada. After a comprehensive evaluation, Ausenco was selected for its “strong technical capabilities” to help build what is now one of the largest undeveloped copper-palladium deposits in North America.

A Golden Outlook

As the first quarter of 2026 concluded, Generation Mining stood out in the critical minerals space. With a Feasibility Study estimating a Net Present Value of C$1.07 billion and an anticipated 13-year mine life, the Project is poised to produce millions of ounces of palladium and hundreds of millions of pounds of copper. With the right people, the right partners, and the right plan, Generation Mining is not just digging for metal—it’s building the future of sustainable energy.

Minister Pirie says the North has never mattered more

For more than thirty years the Canadian Mining Expo takes over a few acres of Timmins in early June, filling the grounds with drill rigs, ventilation systems, underground vehicles and the people who build them. It has always been a working show — a place where a mill superintendent can kick the tires on a new flotation cell and a geologist can argue grade-control strategy with a service-company rep over a hot dog or a plate of poutine. What it has not always been is a show that draws the attention of Bay Street or the federal throne speech. Ontario’s Minister of Northern Economic Development and Growth, George Pirie, feels that both of those things have changed.

“This show is bigger and better than it was last year, and I thought last year would be tough to improve,” Pirie said at the 2025 show. “There’s a buzz. There was a buzz last year and the buzz is higher this year.”

He attributed the energy in the room to a single number. Gold was trading at nearly $5,000 an ounce in Canadian dollars — a price, he told the audience, that was not going away any time soon. An economic war between the United States and China, instability in the bond markets, and a tariff environment that has forced Canadian producers to think about international customers rather than domestic ones have all pushed gold higher. Timmins, a city that has been centred on gold since 1909, is positioned to benefit from that environment more than almost any community in the country.

But Pirie’s real pitch was not about the gold price. It was about what the

Canadian Mining Expo could become if it added one ingredient: the financial community.

“If we could combine the financial community, the analytical community with this show, we would have the best show — better than PDAC,” Pirie said. “The analysts like to talk to real people that know the business, and they can go to the field and visit these projects. Get the analysts here and we’ve got the whole package.”

That argument rests on a broader case Pirie has been making since his days as mayor of Timmins: that Northern Ontario has become the most important economic region in the province, and that the mining supply and service sector anchored in communities like Timmins is the reason. He cited the sector’s numbers — more than $10 billion in annual revenue, 1,400 companies, over 40,000 employees, and a direct GDP contribution of $3.9 billion — and told the crowd not to underestimate what those figures mean when international markets are looking for reliable suppliers.

“You must remember how good we are,” he said. “You must have the security and the knowledge that we can get our product to the market and it will be the best product in the world.”

Pirie outlined the provincial investments designed to sustain that momentum. The Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation’s annu-

al budget has been raised to $110 million following a $30-million topup announced in January. Since 2018, the fund has invested more than $95 million across 7,000 projects in Northern Ontario, leveraging $2.8 billion in additional investment and creating or sustaining more than 11,000 jobs. The Northern Energy Advantage Program, which provides competitive electricity pricing to large industrial consumers including mines and mills, is expanding from $120 million to $260 million per year. Infrastructure priorities include permanent roads to replace disappearing winter roads in the northwest, expanded freight capacity on the Ontario Northland Railway, and the long-discussed deep-water port on James Bay — a project Pirie noted has been studied since 1972 and is now formally designated a provincial priority.

He closed with a line he has used before, but one that carried particular weight in a room full of people whose children grew up leaving Northern Ontario for opportunities in the south.

“The most valuable export we have was our kids,” he said. “That day has passed. The opportunities for our kids, our grandchildren, are now unlimited here in Northern Ontario. This is our time. Seize it.”

Pirie may have a hard time topping last year’s address. Either way, the room will be packed.

Lecce touting Pan-Canadian Grid Agreement and Accelerates Ring of Fire Roads

Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines Stephen Lecce used a Toronto investment conference in March to announce what he called the most consequential energy infrastructure policy in a generation: a memorandum of understanding with British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Yukon, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and the Northwest Territories to build the first interprovincial electricity transmission corridor linking Canadian grids from coast to coast to coast.

“We have 13 islands in Canada of grids,” Lecce told reporters. “They don’t speak to each other. They often don’t flow power to each other. We have a real issue as a federation.”

As Lecce framed it, the problem is structural. Canada’s electricity system was built on a north-south axis, making it easier to move power across the U.S. border than between provinces. Ontario currently sells surplus electricity into the American spot market, sometimes at a discount, while nearby jurisdictions face their own capacity constraints. The agreement commits signatories to three goals: identify and accelerate interprovincial transmission infrastructure, prioritize selling power within Canada before exporting abroad, and jointly advocate for federal investment in what Lecce called “the railway of the 21st century.”

“Power is the most important currency business and governments can have,” he said. “We can remain siloed, or we can build a truly panCanadian grid — one that connects

us east and west, north and south, one that keeps Canadian energy powering Canadian jobs.”

The corridor announcement is one part of a broader agenda Lecce has advanced since taking the portfolio. In March 2026, the province released Fortifying Ontario’s Economy: A Plan to Accelerate Responsible Resource Development, an overhaul of its 2022 Critical Minerals Strategy. Its centrepiece is a legislative push to cut government review times for mining projects by 50 per cent through “One Project, One Process,” a framework that consolidates multi-ministry approvals into a single window led by a dedicated Mine Authorization and Permitting Delivery Team. The updated strategy also expanded Ontario’s critical minerals list to 35, adding high-purity iron and aluminum to protect manufacturing jobs in the automotive, aerospace and defence sectors.

In Northern Ontario, the clearest sign of the accelerated permitting push is the Ring of Fire. Lecce announced that construction of all-season roads into the mineralrich region has been moved up five years ahead of schedule. The Ring of Fire hosts deposits of chromite, nickel, copper, platinum-group elements and rare earths — metals now central to trade disputes between the United States and China — and Lecce has cast the project as a national security priority. The proposed

Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act would give the province new powers to restrict foreign state-owned companies from claiming Ontario minerals or participating in the energy sector.

The push has not gone unchallenged. Sol Mamakwa, NDP MPP for Kiiwetinoong, warned that the province cannot use a tariff war as an excuse to override First Nations rights, and that any rush to develop the north will meet resistance if nation-to-nation dialogue is not maintained. Lecce’s office has emphasized the government’s commitment to the duty to consult and to meaningful Indigenous economic participation in energy and mining projects.

On the generation side, Ontario is building what amounts to a wall of new nuclear capacity: 3,500 megawatts from the refurbished Darlington station, completed ahead of schedule and $1.5 billion under budget; 2,000 megawatts from the Pickering life extension; and 4,100 megawatts of net new capacity at Bruce C. Together, that is roughly 10,000 megawatts of clean baseload power — enough, by provincial figures, for 15 million additional homes. Ontario’s demand forecast projects growth of 65 to 90 per cent by 2050, driven by critical mineral processing, housing, data centres and electrification.

The government has also committed $500 million to a Critical Minerals Processing Fund and says 33 significant mining projects are in its development pipeline. With the pan-Canadian grid agreement now signed by most provinces and territories, Lecce’s next step is to get provincial system planners working together on a unified national transmission strategy — a technical exercise he wants completed in weeks or months, not years.

“Canadians are kicking themselves for not doing the big things when we had the chance,” Lecce said. “In a post-Trump world, we’ve got to be faster, smarter, and work together as one.”
