NEWS RELEASE
Lundin Mining Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Results
Vancouver, February 19, 2026 (TSX: LUN; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation (“Lundin Mining” or
the “Company”) today reported its fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results. Unless otherwise stated, results are
presented in United States dollars on a 100% basis.
Jack Lundin, President and CEO commented, “In 2025 we delivered our best performance in the history of the Company.
We generated record revenue from continuing operations of $4.1 billion for the year, including $1.3 billion in the fourth
quarter, alongside adjusted EBITD A of $1.9 billion for the year and $686 million in the quarter. These exceptional
operational and financial results enabled us to exit the year in a net cash position, while purchasing over 15 million shares
through our share buyback program. Additionally, we have made significant progress toward upsizing our Revolving Credit
Facility to $4.5 billion, adding financial strength as we enter the next phase of growth for the Company.
"We continued to advance our growth initiatives including delivering the world's largest greenfield copper -gold-silver
maiden resource in the last 30 years at Filo del Sol deposit, adding a significant amount of these metals to our Mineral
Resource inventory. In the near -term, we improved our guidance forecast over the next two years, mainly driven by the
improvements in cathode production at Caserones. Lastly, we have made good progress and continue to advance the
development plan of Sauva at our Chapada operation and will look to sanction this project prior to year end.
"Earlier this week we announced the results of the integrated technical report on the Vicuña project, highlighting a project
capable of producing over 500,000 tonnes of copper, 800,000 ounces of gold and 20 million ounces of silver which would
position it in the top 5 copper, gold and silver mines in the world. At the end of 2025, Vicuña submitted its application for
fiscal stability in Argentina under the RIGI scheme to support the development of the project, positioning Lundin Mining
for long-term value creation. A final investment decision on the Vicuña project is targeted before the end of 2026.” 1

Quarterly Financial Results
• The Company generated revenue from continuing operations of $1,301.5 million (Q4 2024 - $833.3 million) which
benefitted from higher realized copper and gold prices.
• Gross profit from continuing operations of $496.8 million was $242.4 million higher than in the prior year
comparable period of $254.4 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices, lower
treatment charges, and higher sales volumes at Caserones partially offset by a non -cash long -term ore stockpile
inventory write-down at Chapada of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax).
• Net earnings from continuing operations increased to $912.3 million from $59.8 million net loss in the prior year
comparable period primarily due to an increase in gross profit and a deferred tax recovery at Caserones of $517.0
million. Prior year impairments of Suruca and Alcaparrosa further contributed to the increase.
• Adjusted earnings 2 from continuing operations of $363.7 million increased from $102.9 million in the prior year
comparable period primarily as a result of higher gross profit.
• Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations of $533.0 million decreased from $567.9
million in the prior year comparable period largely due to a working capital build of $132.1 million in the quarter
compared to $305.4 million working capital release in the prior year comparable period.
• Sustaining capital expenditures 5 from continuing operations of $157.6 million increased from $131.4 million in the
prior year comparable period.
• Expansionary capital expenditures 6 of $43.5 million were in line with the prior year comparable period of $50.5
million.
• Free cash flow 2 from continuing operations of $331.9 million decreased from $386.0 million in the prior year
comparable period due to working capital build and increased sustaining capital expenditure related to continuing
operations.
• As at February 19, 2026, the Company had cash of over $500 million and net cash of over $200 million.
• At December 31, 2025, the Eagle reporting segment met the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale and discontinued
operations. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities relating to Eagle have been classified as held for sale at December
31, 2025. Earnings (loss) from discontinued operations includes the financial results of Eagle, Neves -Corvo and
Zinkgruvan reporting segments.

===== SIDA 6 =====
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced, on a 100% basis, 145,471 tonnes of copper, 80,528 ounces of gold and 1.8
million ounces of silver during the year. Annual copper and gold production in 2025 was within the most recent guidance
ranges. During the year, mining in the open pit was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from higher grade areas
of Phase 12. Production continued to benefit from higher throughput at the mill due to softer ore feed and finer ore size.
Consistent with the mine plan, realized grades during the year were lower than the prior year, which led to lower
production. Copper cash cost7 of $1.92/lb was within the most recent cash cost guidance range and benefitted from higher
metal prices for by -product credits and was impacted by the lower average grades during the year. During the fourth
quarter, early renewals of labour agreements were completed with five unions at Candelaria. The agreements are each for
three-year terms and expire in 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. The proactive early renewal of these
agreements will contribute to labour stability and operational efficiency at Candelaria in the medium term.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced, on a 100% basis, 132,881 tonnes of copper and 2,082 tonnes of
molybdenum. Annual production for copper was at the top -end of the most recent production guidance range and fourth
quarter copper production was the highest since the mine was acquired by the Company in mid -2023. Mining during the
year focused on Phase 6 and copper production benefitted from higher throughput and recoveries. Copper cathode
production during the year benefitted from increased material placed on the dump leach in previous periods. Copper cash
cost of $2.17/lb was within the low -end of the most recent production guidance range and benefitted from strong
production as a result of higher throughput and recoveries, reduced treatment charges, and reduced labour expenses.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 43,974 tonnes of copper and approximately 61,331 ounces of gold during the
year. Production for both metals were within the most recent production guidance ranges. Mining in the year primarily
focused on ore from South and North pits in line with the planned mine sequencing. Annual copper production benefitted
from higher throughput. Gold production in the year was negatively impacted by reduced grades and recoveries relative to
2024. Copper cash cost of $0.75/lb was below the low end of the most recent guidance range and benefitted from
increased by-product credits as a result of higher realized gold prices.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 9,907 tonnes of nickel and 8,906 tonnes of copper during the year. The ramp
rehabilitation in Eagle East was completed in the first quarter of the year, allowing mining and processing activities to
return to normal levels. Annual nickel production in 2025 was within the most recent production guidance range, while
annual copper production was just below the low end of the most recent guidance range but was within the original
guidance range. Nickel cash cost 7 of $2.55/lb benefitted from higher throughput and improved recoveries. Annual cash
cost per pound 7 for the year exceeded the high end of the most recent production guidance range. Eagle results are
reported as discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements and MD&A. As at December 31,
2025, the assets and liabilities of Eagle mine are reported as held for sale.

Vicuña
Integrated Technical Study Results
The results of an integrated technical study were published on February 16, 2026 and highlighted the Vicuña Project as a
development project with the potential to rank among the top five copper, gold, and silver mines globally. Highlights from
the PEA are outlined below and more information is set out in the news release dated February 16, 2026.
The development of the Vicuña district is envisioned in a staged approach. Stage 1 encompasses a sulphide mill and the
Josemaria deposit, establishing an initial open pit mine and concentrator designed for future expansion to accelerate first
production and early cash flow. Stage 2 builds on this foundation by developing the Filo del Sol leachable oxides and a
corresponding SX/EW plant for copper, gold and silver recovery. Stage 3 represents the long -term maturation of the
district through expansion of the concentrator and development of the Filo del Sol sulphide deposit, enabling peak,
sustained production, positioning the Vicuña Project as a long -life, globally significant copper operation. Stage 3 also
integrates key district infrastructure, including a desalination plant and associated pipeline, and return concentrate slurry
pipeline, to support expansion of the district.

The results of the Study, including the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource, will be detailed in an updated technical report
that will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. These results supersede the “NI 43 -101
Technical Report on the Vicuña Project, Argentina and Chile” with an effective date of April 15, 2025, including the Mineral
Resource estimate set out therein.
RIGI Application
During the quarter, Vicuña submitted an application to the Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI) in Argentina for
the inclusion of the Vicuña Project under the Long -Term Strategic Export Projects designation (PEELP). Argentina’s RIGI
regime is designed to attract and accelerate large -scale investment through long -term fiscal stability and transparent
regulatory conditions.
RIGI offers regulatory stability, including lower corporate and dividend withholding tax rates, removal of export duties,
value added tax offsets and repatriation of revenues. The Vicuña Project is the first mining project to apply for the RIGI
PEELP , which is designed to support large scale, long-term investments into Argentina and provides longer benefit periods
(40 years vs 30 years) and accelerated timelines to repatriate revenues and export duty exemptions, as compared to the
regular RIGI regime.
Project Development
In 2025, parallel studies were advanced supporting a multi -phased development concept pertaining to the Josemaria and
Filo del Sol deposits resulting in an integrated technical study, the results of which were published on February 16, 2026.
These results, including the Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource estimate, will be detailed in an updated technical report that
will be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The Josemaria Environmental Impact Assessment advanced through review by the San Juan authorities with a site visit
performed during the quarter.
Drilling activities at Filo del Sol advanced with 16,619 metres completed during the quarter, bringing the year -to-date total
to 65,611 metres.
During the year, the Company spent $167.2 million in capital expenditures compared to $243.6 million in 2024. Capital
expenditures included the project development activities noted above and were impacted by the formation of Vicuña on
January 15, 2025. From this date, the Company's expansionary capital expenditures include 50% of Vicuña's capital
expenditures compared to 100% funded for Josemaria prior to the formation of Vicuña.
9 Initial capital from the start of 2027 and payback period from the start of 2030.
10 See news release dated May 4, 2025 and previous technical report entitled “NI 43 -101 Technical Report on the Vicuña Project, Argentina and Chile”, with an
effective date of April 15, 2025 for information with respect to the previous Mineral Resource estimate. The Project is a 50: 50 joint venture between Lundin
Mining and BHP Canada. Lundin Mining’s attributable interest in the Mineral Resource estimate is 50%.
11 M&I contained metal is based on estimated tonnes of 4,181Mt and estimated grades of 0.34% Cu, 0.27g/t Au and 5.4g/t Ag. Infer red contained metal is
based on estimated tonnes of 10,641Mt at estimated grades of 0.30% Cu, 0.18g/t Au and 3.1g/t Ag.
===== SIDA 9 =====
The Company intends to continue with to work with its partner, BHP , and Vicuña on a work plan to advance the Vicuña
Project to production. Key activities and milestones include:
• Ongoing detailed engineering and design activities for Stage 1.
• Trade off studies and optimization of Stages 2 & 3.
• Initiate construction of the North Access Road.
• Further advancement of project readiness in preparation for early earthworks.
• Advancement of financing structure within Vicuña to fund construction.
• Approval of the Incentive Regime for Large Investments under the Long -Term Strategic Export Projects
designation (RIGI PEELP) application in Argentina.
• Receipt of the Project permit amendment.
The next phase for the Vicuña Project is detailed design and engineering. The technical team will focus on advancing
engineering in order to prepare procurement and other activities to support an efficient project start-up and mitigate risks
of increasing lead times and variable international logistics.
About Vicuña
On January 15, 2025, the Company completed the Filo Acquisition and the Joint Arrangement, resulting in the Company
indirectly holding a 50% interest in Vicuña, an independently managed joint operation which owns the Josemaria deposit
in Argentina and the Filo del Sol deposit in Argentina and Chile. BHP indirectly owns the remaining 50% interest in Vicuña.
Expansionary Projects
The Company has a number of brownfield low -capital intensity expansionary projects that are expected to contribute to
medium-term growth in its existing operating asset portfolio.
Candelaria Underground Expansion
The Candelaria underground expansion project is expected to increase underground throughput capacity to
approximately 22,000 tonnes per day from prior levels of approximately 12,000 to 14,000 tonnes per day, targeting a
medium-term increase in annual copper production of approximately 14,000 tonnes of copper which adds roughly 10% to
current production levels. The opportunity includes phased insourcing of the Company's underground mining contract
and an increase in the number of active mining stopes. Candelaria’s 2026 copper and gold production guidance
incorporates lower underground mining rates in the first half of the year as the Company insources the underground
mining contract. Internal recruitment commenced in mid -2025 with blasting, loading and hauling activities insourced at
the end of the year. Insourcing of additional activities are expected to continue through 2026.
Projects are also ongoing to support the mine life extension under the Environmental Impact Assessment ("2040 EIA").
Caserones Cathode Plant Utilization
The Caserones cathode plant capacity is approximately 35,000 tonnes of copper cathode production per year,
representing an opportunity to increase production from prior levels through higher utilization rates.
Additional oxide material placed on the dump leach, together with improved leaching practices, increased copper cathode
production to 25,817 tonnes in 2025. As a result of these optimization efforts, annual copper cathode production is
forecast to increase to approximately 26,000 to 28,000 tonnes in 2026 through 2028, an improvement of 6,000 –8,000
tonnes from prior levels.
Chapada - Saúva Deposit
The Saúva deposit is approximately 15 kilometres from the Chapada mine and represents a near mine opportunity to add
approximately 10,000 to 15,000 tonnes of copper production per year and 35,000 to 45,000 ounces of gold production per
year. The project would include the installation of additional grinding capacity and higher grade ore from Saúva to offset
lower grade material currently being mined at Chapada.
An internal prefeasibility study was completed on Saúva phase 1 during the quarter. A sanctioning decision on the
installation of additional grinding capacity is expected in the second half of 2026, while detailed design and engineering
work will continue along with Saúva permitting. An updated Chapada technical report, including the Saúva project, is
expected to be released in the second half of 2026.

Highlights
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company generated record revenue from continuing operations of $4,053.2
million (2024 - $3,270.1 million). Revenue in 2025 benefitted from increased realized copper and gold prices, combined
with production of 322,326 tonnes of copper, and 141,859 ounces of gold from continuing operations. In addition, Eagle
contributed 8,906 tonnes of copper, which successfully contributed to the Company meeting the most recent annual
copper production guidance and exceeding the upper end of the original annual copper production guidance. Annual gold
production guidance was also met during the period.
Net earnings from continuing operations in 2025 of $1,417.7 million (2024 - $267.6 million) benefitted from solid gross
profit generation and from a non-cash deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million due to an additional deferred tax asset
recognized at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards. Net earnings were partially offset by a $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of
tax) non-cash write down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada as a result of mine plan changes deprioritizing
the timing of processing of stockpiles. Excluding write-downs and other items, s trong annual production in 2025 resulted in
adjusted earnings1 - continuing operations of $687.9 million (2024 - $294.9 million) and record a djusted EBITDA1 -
continuing operations of $1,917.1 million (2024 - $1,426.9 million).
In 2025, cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $1,207.9 million (2024 - $1,311.4 million).
Operating cash flow benefitted from higher gross profit offset by a significant negative working capital build of $414.0
million during the year (2024 - positive working capital release of $221.7 million). Excluding working capital movements,
adjusted operating cash flow1 - continuing operations increased to $1,621.9 million, compared to $1,089.9 million in the
prior year comparable period.
The fourth quarter was the Company's best quarter for the year aided by elevated metal prices and improved copper sales
volume. The Company generated the highest quarterly revenue in its history, which included revenue from continuing
operations of $1,301.5 million (Q4 2024 - $833.3 million). Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter was
$912.3 million (Q4 2024 - net loss $59.8 million) as a result of strong gross profit and was positively impacted by a $517.0
million non-cash deferred tax recovery at Caserones, partially offset by $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) for the write-
down of the long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada. Adjusted earnings1 - continuing operations for the quarter was
$363.7 million (Q4 2024 - $102.9 million) and a djusted EBITDA1 - continuing operations for the quarter was $686.4 million
(Q4 2024 - $366.5 million).
On February 16, 2026, the Company announced the results of an integrated technical study for the Vicuña Project (the
Preliminary Economic Assessment “PEA” or "Study"), including an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Vicuña
Project (the "Updated Vicuña Mineral Resource"). The Study highlights a development project with the potential to rank
among the top five copper, gold, and silver mines globally.
On January 9, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its Eagle operation to Talon. Under the terms of the agreement, the
Company received 275.2 million common shares of Talon which, along with the Company's existing 1.57% interest in Talon,
resulted in the Company owning 19.86% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Talon on completion of the
transaction. In addition, the Company and Lundin Mining US Ltd. (“Lundin Mining US”; the entity that indirectly holds the
Eagle mine and Humboldt mill and that was sold to Talon) entered into a Production Payment Agreement (the “Eagle PPA”)
pursuant to which Lundin Mining US will make ore delivery payments of $1.00 per metric tonne of non-Eagle ore processed
through the Humboldt mill to the Company until the aggregate ore delivery payments equal $20.0 million.
On April 16, 2025, the Company completed the sale of its European operations, Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan, to Boliden AB
("Boliden"). At closing, Lundin Mining received cash consideration of $1,402.0 million ($1,314.6 million, net of cash disposed
and transaction costs). In connection with the transaction, the Company may be entitled to future contingent payments of
up to $150.0 million if certain metal price thresholds are met. Upon completion of the sale, the Company recognized a net
gain on disposal of $106.4 million. Subsequent to closing, t he Company recognized a revaluation gain of $47.0 million on
the contingent consideration, which includes a realized and unrealized gain of $5.5 million and $41.5 million, respectively.
Using the proceeds from the sale, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the term loan ($1,150.0 million). At
December 31, 2025, the Company had net cash1 of $77.4 million (December 31, 2024 - net debt of $1,332.4 million).
On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP Investments Canada Inc. ("BHP") completed the acquisition of Filo Corp. ("Filo")
through a plan of arrangement and concurrently formed a 50/50 joint arrangement, Vicuña Corp. (the "Joint Arrangement"

or “Vicuña”), holding the Josemaria project in Argentina and the Filo del Sol project in Argentina and Chile, collectively the
("Vicuña Project"). On completion, BHP paid Lundin Mining a cash consideration of $689.5 million for a 50% interest in the
Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid $610.7 million (C$877.8 million) in cash and issued 94.1 million Lundin Mining
shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo. As a result of these transactions, net cash provided to the Company
was $78.8 million on the formation of Vicuña. The Company accounts for Vicuña as a joint operation and accordingly
records its 50% share of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and cash flows.

Operational Performance
Candelaria (80% owned): Candelaria produced, on a 100% basis, 145,471 tonnes of copper, 80,528 ounces of gold and 1.8
million ounces of silver during the year. Annual copper and gold production in 2025 was within the most recent guidance
ranges. During the year, mining in the open pit was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from higher grade areas of
Phase 12. Production continued to benefit from higher throughput at the mill due to softer ore feed and finer ore size.
Consistent with the mine plan, realized grades during the year were lower than the prior year, which led to lower
production. Copper cash cost1 of $1.92/lb was within the most recent cash cost guidance range and benefitted from higher
metal prices for by-product credits and was impacted by the lower average grades during the year. During the fourth
quarter, early renewals of labour agreements were completed with five unions at Candelaria. The agreements are each for
three-year terms and expire in 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. The proactive early renewal of these
agreements will contribute to labour stability and operational efficiency at Candelaria in the medium term.
Caserones (70% owned): Caserones produced, on a 100% basis, 132,881 tonnes of copper and 2,082 tonnes of
molybdenum. Annual production for copper was at the top-end of the most recent production guidance range and fourth
quarter copper production was the highest since the mine was acquired by the Company in mid-2023. Mining during the
year focused on Phase 6 and copper production benefitted from higher throughput and recoveries. Copper cathode
production during the year benefitted from increased material placed on the dump leach in previous periods. Copper cash
cost of $2.17/lb was within the low-end of the most recent production guidance range and benefitted from strong
production as a result of higher throughput and recoveries, reduced treatment charges, and reduced labour expenses.
Chapada (100% owned): Chapada produced 43,974 tonnes of copper and approximately 61,331 ounces of gold during the
year. Production for both metals were within the most recent production guidance ranges. Mining in the year primarily
focused on ore from South and North pits in line with the planned mine sequencing. Annual copper production benefitted
from higher throughput. Gold production in the year was negatively impacted by reduced grades and recoveries relative to
2024. Copper cash cost of $0.75/lb was below the low end of the most recent guidance range and benefitted from
increased by-product credits as a result of higher realized gold prices.
Eagle (100% owned): Eagle produced 9,907 tonnes of nickel and 8,906 tonnes of copper during the year. The ramp
rehabilitation in Eagle East was completed in the first quarter of the year, allowing mining and processing activities to return
to normal levels. Annual nickel production in 2025 was within the most recent production guidance range, while annual
copper production was just below the low end of the most recent guidance range but was within the original guidance
range. Nickel cash cost1 of $2.55/lb benefitted from higher throughput and improved recoveries. Annual cash cost per
pound1 for the year exceeded the high end of the most recent production guidance range. Eagle results are reported as
discontinued operations in the Company's consolidated financial statements and MD&A. As at December 31, 2025, the
assets and liabilities of Eagle mine are reported as held for sale.

===== SIDA 30 =====
• On March 26, 2025, the Company announced that its Board of Directors amended the shareholder distribution policy to
increase the level of share buybacks while adjusting the dividend to maintain the total amount returned to
shareholders annually. As part of this strategy, the Company adjusted its quarterly dividend from C$0.09 per share to
C$0.0275 per share while allocating up to approximately $150 million per annum in share buybacks through the
Company’s normal course issuer bid program ("NCIB"). If the Company allocates less than $150 million in share
buybacks in a calendar year, the shortfall will be distributed as a special dividend. If applicable, the special dividend will
be paid alongside the regular fourth quarter dividend. During 2025, the Company repurchased 15,088,180 shares for
$150.0 million in connection with the amended shareholder distribution policy.
• On February 19, 2025, the Company announced the appointment of Ms. Victoria McMillan to the Company's Board of
Directors effective the same date. The Company also announced the retirement of Director Ms. Juliana Lam effective as
at the 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders on May 8, 2025.
• On January 30, 2025, the Company announced that it received notice from the Superintendencia del Medio Ambiente
("SMA") following investigative proceedings involving the sinkhole that occurred at the Alcaparrosa mine located in the
Candelaria complex in 2022. The notice levied a fine of $3.3 million and ordered the continued closure of the
Alcaparrosa mine, based on four violations investigated. On September 7, 2025, the Company announced that it
received notice regarding the decision on the civil claim brought by the Chilean State Defense Council against Lundin
Mining’s subsidiary, Minera Ojos del Salado (“Ojos del Salado”), related to the sinkhole. The decision requires Ojos del
Salado to implement remediation activities on the impacted area and to implement water infrastructure projects to
strengthen rural potable water and wastewater systems in communities surrounding the mine. Mining operations at
Alcaparrosa have been suspended since the incident occurred in 2022 while operations at the Candelaria mine
continue unaffected.
• On January 15, 2025, the Company and BHP completed the joint acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding
common shares of Filo not already owned by Lundin Mining, BHP and their respective affiliates (the “Filo Acquisition”).

$689.5 million for a 50% interest in the Josemaria project and Lundin Mining paid $610.7 million (C$877.8 million) in
cash and 94.1 million Lundin Mining shares to Filo shareholders for its 50% interest in Filo.
Financial Performance
• Gross profit from continuing operations for the year of $1,398.0 million was $462.2 million higher than the prior year
comparable period of $935.8 million. The increase was primarily due to higher realized copper and gold prices, lower
treatment charges, and higher sales volumes at Caserones partially offset by a non-cash long-term ore stockpile
inventory write-down at Chapada of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax).
• Net earnings from continuing operations in the year of $1,417.7 million was higher than in the prior year comparable
period of $267.6 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit and a deferred tax recovery at Caserones of $517.0
million. The prior year period was also negatively impacted by non-cash impairments totalling $149.4 million.
• Adjusted earnings1 - continuing operations in the year of $687.9 million increased from $294.9 million as a result of
higher gross profit.
• Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations in the year of $1,207.9 million decreased from
the prior year comparable period of $1,311.4 million primarily due to a build of working capital of $414.0 million (2024
- working capital release of $221.7 million) partially offset by higher gross profit.
• Adjusted operating cash flow 1 - continuing operations in the year of $1,621.9 million was higher than in the prior year
comparable period of $1,089.9 million primarily due to an increase in gross profit.
• In the year, sustaining capital expenditures 2 from continuing operations of $477.8 million were lower than in the prior
year comparable period of $527.9 million primarily due to reduced deferred stripping at Candelaria.

===== SIDA 31 =====
• Expansionary capital expenditures 1 for the year were $191.2 million, a decrease from $243.6 million in the prior year.
This decrease reflects that, following the formation of Vicuña in January 2025, the Company now accounts for only 50%
of Vicuña's capital expenditures. On a 100% basis, total Vicuña Project spending was $332.5 million.
• Net earnings from discontinued operations for the year of $235.8 million (2024 - net loss of $328.9 million) was
impacted by a non-cash reversal of impairment at Eagle and a gain on disposal of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan.
Financial Position and Financing
• Cash and cash equivalents at continuing operations as at December 31, 2025 were $296.2 million, representing a
decrease of $61.3 million during the year. Cash provided by operating activities related to continuing operations in the
year of $1,207.9 million was used to fund $684.6 million investment in mineral properties, plant and equipment. The
Company received net cash proceeds of $1,314.6 million from the sale of the Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations
which were used to repay in full the $1,150.0 million outstanding balance of the Company's term loan and to repay
$170.0 million of amounts drawn on the RCF (net repayments of $300.0 million during the year). Other significant
financing activities comprised of $105.7 million of dividends paid to shareholders, $138.0 million of distributions to
non-controlling interests, and $153.7 million of share buybacks, of which $3.7 million were executed in 2024 and
settled in January 2025.
• As at December 31, 2025, the Company had net cash 1 of $77.4 million. As at February 19, 2026, the Company had cash

The Company's annual results from continuing operations have been impacted by the acquisition of the Caserones mine in
July 2023, which contributed to an increase in metal production, net earnings and capital expenditures in 2024 as compared
to 2023. In July 2024, the Company exercised its option to acquire an additional 19% interest in Caserones from 51% to 70%
and reducing the non-controlling interest to 30%, contributing to an increase in net earnings attributable to the Company.
The year ended December 31, 2024 was impacted by non-cash impairments totalling $149.4 million relating to Suruca
deposit (Chapada) and Alcaparrosa mine (Ojos complex at Candelaria) and a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a
previous long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada.
During the year ended December 31, 202 5 revenues benefitted by higher realized copper and gold prices. Gross profit was
also impacted by a $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) non-cash write-down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at
Chapada. Net earnings benefitted from a deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million due to the recognition of an additional
deferred tax asset at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income over the mine life.
Net earnings from discontinued operations during the year included the annual financial results of Eagle and financial
results of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan up to April 15, 2025. Net earnings from discontinued operations benefitted from a
non-cash reversal of impairment at Eagle of $88.4 million and a gain on disposal of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan of $106.3
million, partially offset by a non-cash impairment of Neves-Corvo of $65.7 million. During the year ended December 31,
2024, net earnings from discontinued operations included the annual financial results of Neves-Corvo, Zinkgruvan and Eagle
and the financial results were impacted by non-cash impairments at Neves-Corvo and Eagle totalling $396.1 million.

===== SIDA 36 =====
On a quarterly basis, the Company's revenue, gross profit and net earnings can be impacted by metal prices, sales volumes
as a result of the timing of concentrate shipments, and provisional pricing adjustments on current and prior period
shipments.
In Q4 2025, results from continuing operations were impacted by the recognition of an additional deferred tax asset at
Caserones and the non-cash write-down of long-term ore stockpile inventory at Chapada. Q4 2025 results from
discontinued operations were impacted by an impairment reversal at Eagle mine.
In Q2 2025, the Company completed the sale of its Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan operations and recognized a gain on
disposal of $106.4 million. Results from these operations through to April 16, 2025 are reported as discontinued operations.
Net loss from discontinued operations in Q4 2024 was impacted by a $291.2 million non-cash impairment to align the
carrying value of Neves-Corvo with expected cash consideration. As a result of the euro strengthening in Q1 2025, net loss
from discontinued operations was impacted by a further $65.7 million non-cash impairment at Neves-Corvo to re-align its
carrying value with subsequent cash consideration.
Following the formation of Vicuña in Q1 2025, its financial results are accounted for at the Company's 50% share. In prior
quarters, the Josemaria project (now part of Vicuña) was wholly owned by the Company and reported at 100%.
An $800.0 million term loan was entered into in conjunction with the acquisition of a 51% interest in Caserones and was
subsequently increased by $350.0 million with funds used to acquire an additional 19% of Caserones in 2024. Higher debt
increased the Company's interest expense from acquisition through Q1 2025, reducing net earnings. The term loan was
repaid in full after the sale of Neves-Corvo and Zinkgruvan in April 2025, reducing interest expense and benefitting net
earnings in Q2 2025 and the subsequent quarters.
In Q2 2024, a fall of ground occurred in the lower ramp at the Eagle mine, resulting in reduced mining rates through the
remainder of 2024 until ramp rehabilitation was completed in Q1 2025, impacting net earnings from discontinued
operations throughout this period.
In Q4 2024, net earnings from continuing operations was reduced by non-cash impairments including $93.4 million related
to the Suruca gold deposit near Chapada and $55.9 million due to the continued closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the
Candelaria mining complex. These amounts were partially offset by a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previous
long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down at Chapada.
In the quarters presented, the Company has entered into derivative contracts for foreign currency, diesel, copper prices and
gold prices as part of its risk management strategy. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts and
foreign exchange and trading gains on debt and equity investments are recorded in other income and expense and impact
the Company's net earnings.

Revenue from continuing operations for the year of $4,053.2 million was an increase of $783.1 million over the prior year
comparable period of $3,270.1 million. The revenue increase was primarily due to an increase in realized copper and gold
prices and higher sales volumes at Caserones, partially offset by lower sales volumes at Candelaria.

===== SIDA 38 =====
Revenue from gold and silver for the quarter and year includes the partial recognition of an upfront purchase price on the
sale of precious metals streams for Candelaria as well as the cash proceeds which amount to approximately $433/oz for
gold and $4.32/oz for silver. Chapada’s copper revenue includes the recognition of deferred revenue from copper streams
acquired with the Chapada mine, as well as the cash proceeds of 30% of the market price of the copper sold under the
streams, which is limited to 7.9% of Chapada's total copper production.
Revenue is recorded using the metal price received for sales that settle during the reporting period. For sales that have not
been settled, an estimate is used based on the expected month of settlement and the forward price of the metal at the end

Annual Financial Results
Production Costs
Production costs for continuing operations in the year were $1,948.1 million, an increase from $1,786.7 million in the prior
year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher sales volumes at Caserones and Chapada, and
increased mine costs at Candelaria resulting from higher labour costs following the successful acceleration of negotiations
with the labour agreement unions, culminating in new three-year agreements with all five unions. The terms of the
agreements expire between January and September 202 9, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. As a result of these
renewals, production costs increased during the fourth quarter partially offset by reduced labour expenses at Caserones
and lower sales volumes at Candelaria. Production costs for discontinued operations in the year were $277.8 million.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Depreciation, depletion and amortization expense in the year increased by $44.7 million, compared to the prior year, and
includes $11.7 million related to the long-term ore stockpile write-down at Chapada, and was impacted by the decrease in
mineral reserves balance at Caserones.

Current income tax expense in the year was higher than 2024, primarily due to higher taxable income during the year. This
increase was partially offset by lower mining royalty at Candelaria due to the application of Chilean mining royalty tax limits.
Deferred income tax recovery in the year increased compared to 2024, primarily due to the recognition of additional
deferred tax assets at Caserones for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income and an increase in
deferred tax assets at Chapada for foreign exchange revaluation of non-monetary assets, which reduced income tax
expense at Chapada to a nominal amount. The deferred tax recovery was partially offset by the recognition of a deferred
tax liability related to outside basis differences on the Company’s investment in Vicuña and a prior year deferred tax
recovery related to tax inflation adjustments in Argentina that reversed a 2023 deferred tax liability.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results
Gross Profit
Gross profit from continuing operations for the quarter was $496.8 million, an increase from $254.4 million in the prior year
comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher realized copper and gold prices and higher sold copper
volumes. Positive provisional pricing adjustments were recognized on sales from current and prior periods of $90.2 million
and $82.5 million, respectively. Gross profit was also impacted by a non-cash write-down at Chapada on the long-term ore
stockpile of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax). Gross profit from discontinued operations for the quarter was $9.0
million (2024 - $26.1 million).
Net Earnings
Net earnings from continuing operations for the quarter was $912.3 million, compared to a net loss of $59.8 million in the
prior year comparable period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher gross profit and a deferred tax recovery of
$517.0 million at Caserones due to the recognition of additional deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards which can be
applied to future taxable income. Prior year impairments of Suruca and Alcaparrosa further contributed to the increase. Net
earnings from discontinued operations for the quarter was $107.3 million, compared to a net loss of $344.6 million in the
prior year comparable period, and was impacted by the impairment reversal at Eagle.
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash provided by operating activities for the quarter was $533.0 million, compared to the prior year comparable quarter of
$567.9 million. The decrease was largely due to a working capital build of $132.1 million in the quarter compared to $305.4
million working capital release in the prior year comparable period.

Production
Mining was focused in Phase 11 during the quarter with production continuing to benefit from strong throughput in the
mill, primarily due to softer ore feed. Production in the quarter was lower than in the preceding quarters in the year as a
result of maintenance work on the main ramp, which shifted mining to lower grade areas of Phase 11. During the year,
mining in the open pit was focused on Phase 11 with some contribution from higher grade areas of Phase 12.
Copper production in the quarter and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to planned
lower grades partially offset by higher throughput due to ore softness. Grades in the quarter and year were lower than in
the prior year comparable periods primarily due to contribution from higher grade benches of Phase 11 during the prior
year, consistent with the mine plan. Grades in the quarter and year were also impacted by lower contribution from the
underground mine.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
During the fourth quarter, early renewals of labour agreements were completed with five unions at Candelaria. The
agreements are each for three-year terms and expire in 2029, replacing agreements expiring during 2026. The proactive
early renewal of these agreements will contribute to labour stability and operational efficiency at Candelaria in the medium
term. As a result of these renewals and increased contractor costs for scheduled plant maintenance, production costs were
higher than in the prior year comparable quarter. T hese increases in production costs compared to the prior year
comparable period were partially offset by lower sales volumes and reduced maintenance expenses. Maintenance expenses
in the prior year comparable period included a $14.0 million write-down of inventory items used in repair and maintenance
of mineral property, plant and equipment. During the year, production costs increased compared to the prior year primarily
21

as a result of increased waste movement in the open pit that was expensed during the year, combined with the incremental
expense related to labour agreement renewals.
Annual cash cost per pound was within the most recent guidance range and was higher than in the prior year comparable
period primarily due to planned lower grades resulting in reduced production, combined with increased labour and
contractor expenses. Cash cost per pound in the quarter was also impacted by the incremental expense recognized in the
quarter for early labour agreement renewals. Increases in cash cost per pound in both the quarter and year as compared to
the prior year comparable periods were partially offset by increased by-product credits as a result of higher metal prices.
AISC per pound in the quarter was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased cash cost per
pound and higher sustaining capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures increased in the quarter compared to the
prior year comparable period primarily due to increased underground mine development and purchases of new mine
equipment. AISC per pound in the year was higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased cash
cost, partially offset by reduced sustaining capital expenditure.
In the year, approximately 51,000 oz of gold and 1,100,000 oz of silver were subject to terms of a streaming agreement
from which approximately $ 433/oz gold and $ 4.32/oz silver were received. This represents approximately 68% of
Candelaria's total gold and silver production during the year.
Gross Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher realized
copper prices. This was partially offset by reduced production and sales volumes as a result of planned lower grades and
increased production costs.
Net earnings in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to improved gross
profit. Net earnings in the prior year were also impacted by a non-cash impairment of $55.9 million ($41.6 million net of
tax) due to the closure of the Alcaparrosa mine within the Candelaria complex.

Production
Caserones copper production in the quarter was the highest since its acquisition by the Company in mid-2023. During the
quarter, mining was concentrated in Phase 6 with some contribution from Phase 7. Copper concentrate production
benefitted from higher grades in Phases 6 and 7 in the second half of 2025, combined with higher recoveries in the quarter
as a result of Phase 6 ore quality. Copper production in the quarter was higher than the prior year comparable period
primarily due to higher grades and recoveries, and higher copper cathode production. These increases were partially offset
by lower throughput as a result of a scheduled maintenance shutdown in the quarter. Copper cathode production
benefitted from increased material placed on the dump leach in previous periods and molybdenum production was lower in
the quarter primarily due to reduced recoveries and grades.
Annual production for copper was at the top-end of the most recent production guidance range. Production in the year was
higher than the prior year comparable period due to higher throughput and recoveries, combined with increased cathode
production. Annual production for molybdenum was lower than in the prior year primarily due to lower grades and
recoveries.

Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter were higher than in the prior year comparable period primarily due to increased copper
sales volumes, including a shipment of approximately 5,100 tonnes of contained payable copper scheduled for September
that was completed in October due to weather-related delays. Production costs in the year were higher than in the prior
year primarily due to increased sales volumes during the year. These volumes were impacted by two shipments totalling
approximately 20,000 tonnes of copper concentrate that were delayed from December 2024, and were instead completed
in Q1 2025. These were partially offset by reduced labour expenses following the insourcing of key maintenance and
operational support functions.
Annual cash cost per pound for the year was within the low-end of the most recent guidance range. Cash cost per pound in
the quarter and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher production, lower
treatment charges, and reduced labour expenses, partially offset by lower by-product credits. AISC per pound in the quarter
and year were lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to reduced cash cost.
Gross Profit and Net Earnings
Gross profit in the quarter and year increased from the prior year comparable periods due to higher realized copper prices
and reduced labour costs. Gross profit in the quarter also benefitted from increased sales volumes.
Net earnings in the quarter and year include a deferred tax recovery of $517.0 million (Q4 2024 - $41.5 million) to recognize
deferred tax assets for tax loss carryforwards which can be applied to future taxable income.

Production
Mining during the quarter was primarily focused on ore from the South and North open pits, in line with the planned mine
sequence. Ore milled benefitted from improved operational efficiency in the crusher and processing plant, driven by the
Full Potential program which focuses on achieving sustainable operational efficiencies and financial savings. Copper
production in the quarter decreased compared to the prior year comparable period due to lower grades. Head grade
variances reflected changes in the pushback sequencing, with higher ore contribution from the South and North pits and
lower contribution from the higher-grade Southwest pit.
Annual copper and gold production were within the most recent production guidance ranges. Copper production in the
year increased slightly compared to the prior year, primarily driven by higher throughput and partially offset by lower
recoveries. Gold production for the quarter and year was lower than in the prior year comparable periods, primarily due to
reduced grades and recoveries.
Production Costs and Cash Cost
Production costs in the quarter increased from the prior year comparable period, primarily driven by higher costs related to
efforts on water management and unfavorable foreign exchange. These increases were partially offset by lower sales
volume. Production costs in the year were also higher than in the prior year, mainly due to increased sales volumes and
higher royalties, partially offset by favourable foreign exchange.
Cash cost per pound of $0.45 in the quarter was the lowest since Q4 2020. Cash costs for both the quarter and year
improved from the prior year comparable periods primarily due to higher by-product credits as a result of increased
realized gold prices. Annual cash cost was below the low end of the most recent guidance range. AISC per pound in the
25

quarter and year periods was lower than in the prior year comparable periods primarily due to lower cash cost per pound
and reduced sustaining capital expenditures as a result of lower expenditure on spares and equipment acquisition.
Gross Profit (Loss) and Net Earnings (Loss)
In the quarter, gross loss was $11.8 million, compared to a gross profit of $67.2 million from the prior year comparable
period. The decrease was due to a net realizable value write-down of $99.9 million ($65.9 million net of tax) of the long-
term ore stockpile inventory as a result of mine plan changes deprioritizing the timing of processing of stockpiles. This was
partially offset by higher realized copper and gold prices and r educed treatment and refining charges . Gross profit for the
year was in line with the prior year comparable period and the negative impact of the long-term ore stockpile inventory
write-down was offset primarily by increased realized copper and gold prices, lower treatment and refining charges and
higher sales volumes. In addition, gross profit for the quarter and year from the prior year comparable periods benefitted
from a $28.3 million non-cash partial reversal of a previously recorded long-term ore stockpile inventory write-down
Net loss for the quarter and net earnings for the year from prior year comparable periods were also impacted by a non-cash
impairment of $93.4 million ($61.7 million net of tax) of mineral properties relating to the Suruca gold deposit.
