Third Quarter 2025 Highlights
Corporate Highlights
In the third quarter of 2025 and through October 27, 2025, Hycroft advanced several key activities:
- Strengthened the balance sheet by raising $235 million in net cash proceeds through a combination of public equity offerings, a private placement, warrant exercises, and sales under the at-the-market equity program. The Company then prepaid and eliminated approximately $136 million of total indebtedness. As a result, the Company is debt free.
- Through the equity offerings completed in 2025, approximately 80% of Hycroft's outstanding shares are now held by institutional investors within the global mining sector.
Operational Highlights
- Safety: Hycroft has maintained a 0.00 TRIFR for three years as of October 23, 2025, operating over 1.4-million-man hours without a Lost Time Incident.
- Recent Safety awards include:
- MSHA's 2024 Certificate of Achievement in Safety Award for Metal Nonmetal Mill and Open Pit Group
- Nevada Mining Association's 2025 Operator Safety Award First Place Surface Small Mine
- Environmental : Through September 30, 2025, Hycroft maintained an excellent environmental record with an ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship.
- Exploration: During the third quarter of 2025, the Company began the next phase of drilling with the 2025 – 2026 Exploration Drill Program on the high-grade silver dominant zones in Brimstone and Vortex. The initial plan included 14,500 meters of core drilling with two drill rigs. Through September 30, 2025, approximately 2,450 meters of drilling have been completed on five exploration holes since August 3, 2025, in the high-grade systems and are pending assay by third party laboratories. As a result of the recent financing, the Company will soon be expanding that program to include two additional core drill rigs.
- Technical Studies: During the first nine months of 2025, the Company advanced the metallurgical and engineering work required to design a sulfide milling operation.
- Testing composite samples representing the range of sulfide ore characteristics are ongoing. Test programs covering crushing, grinding, flotation, pressure oxidation, and leaching have shown higher gold and silver recoveries relative to the March 2023 technical report. In parallel, metallurgical work on roasting as another potential processing route that could create a third revenue stream by producing sulfuric acid used in several industries, including lithium is continuing. Ongoing roasting test work is focused on determining optimal operating parameters including temperature and retention times in addition to project design and equipment selection. Upon finalizing the parameters and establishing the flowsheet, the Company will begin mine planning to support the next technical report.
- Considering strong gold and silver prices, the Company is evaluating the re-start of a heap leaching operation within the permitted plan.
- The Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, was filed October 28, 2025, and is available at www.sec.gov/edgar. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" below.
