Lundin Gold Inc. (TSX: LUG; Nasdaq Stockholm: LUG; OTCQX: LUGDF) ("Lundin Gold" or the "Company") today announced its financial results for the second quarter of 2025, featuring record revenues of \$453 million and net income of \$197 million (\$0.82 per share). Free cash flow1 of \$236 million (\$0.98 per share) was driven by strong gold production of 139,433 ounces ("oz"), with 136,737 oz sold at an average realized gold price1 of \$3,361 per oz, at low cash operating costs1 of \$756 and all-in sustaining costs1 ("AISC") of \$927 per oz sold. The Company also announced cash dividends totaling \$0.79 per share (approximately \$190 million) comprised of the fixed quarterly dividend of \$0.30 per share and the variable quarterly dividend of \$0.49 per share, to be paid at the end of the third quarter. All dollar amounts are stated in US dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Ron Hochstein, President and CEO commented, "The second quarter of 2025 delivered outstanding results for Lundin Gold, featuring record revenues and record free cash flow. This was driven by excellent gold production, sales, and a robust realized gold price. Our mill achieved impressive throughput of 5,064 tpd with improved recoveries, a testament to our team's operational excellence.
Given this strong performance and outlook, we've elevated the lower end of our 2025 production guidance from 475,000 to 490,000 oz while maintaining the upper end at 525,000 oz. We also expect to remain within the upper end of our cash operating cost1 and AISC1 guidance for the year. We are confident that our continued efforts to reduce costs and improve mill throughput will allow us to offset the impact of rising gold prices on royalties and profit sharing payable to employees.
As a direct result of our strong Q2 financial performance, we are pleased to declare sector leading dividends totaling \$0.79 per share, comprised of both our fixed and variable components, for payment in the third quarter. This demonstrates the effectiveness of our new dividend policy in returning capital to shareholders during periods of strong free cash flow, while still allowing us to strategically invest in our long-term growth initiatives. Lundin Gold remains in a formidable financial position, poised for continued success."

As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of \$493 million and a working capital balance of \$562 million compared to cash of \$349 million and a working capital balance of \$459 million at December 31, 2024. The change in cash during the 2025 Period was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities of \$449 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and anti-dilution rights totalling \$17.7 million. This is offset by dividends paid of \$280 million and capital expenditures of \$42.6 million.
During the second quarter there were no Lost Time Incidents and no Medical Aid Incidents. The Total Recordable Incident Rate across the Company was 0.00 per 200,000 hours worked for the quarter and 0.10 for the first six months of 2025.
Lundin Gold sponsored community projects continued to advance well in the second quarter of 2025. One of the Company's most impactful programs, run by the non-governmental organization Educación para Compartir ("EPC"), has focused on mental health and well-being in our local communities since its inception in November 2023. During the second quarter, approximately 957 counselling sessions were provided, with an intake of approximately 55 new patients. As of the end of June, the sports academy component of the program had 359 youth registered in extra-curricular activities, including English studies, basketball, soccer, dance, music and boxing. During the quarter, Lundin Gold committed to the second phase of the EPC program, which is planned to run from July 2025 to December 2026. This second phase will build on the previous phase and seek to increase its reach and impact.
Engagement with El Pangui, Paquisha, Zamora, Yantzaza and Los Encuentros local governments continues to support rural road maintenance, road emergencies caused by extreme weather events, community wellbeing and regional exploration activities. During the quarter, the Company committed to several significant projects, such as improvements to the water system in El Pangui Canton and the installation and electricity network expansion in the Paquisha Canton.
Lundin Gold continued to participate in the community roundtable process. Six separate thematic roundtables were held in May. Approximately 200 individuals participated in these sessions, including local vendors, local authorities and Lundin Gold personnel.
Local businesses receive ongoing support from the Company, in conjunction with the Lundin Foundation. The local companies that participate in the Lundin Foundation's supplier development program continued to provide products and services to FDN, while also advancing growth strategies. The Lundin Foundation continued to support the third cohort of its successful Soy Emprendedora program. In furtherance of the Company's longstanding relationship with the Shuar Indigenous Peoples, Lundin Gold and the Lundin Foundation continued to advance the implementation of a Shuar local supplier initiative for FDN.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company completed a total of 19,788 metres across 35 holes from surface and underground.
The underground near mine drilling program focused on potential extensions of the FDNS deposit, which remains open for expansion in the north and along the south extensions where two underground rigs are currently turning. The underground drilling program continued to advance in the quarter at FDN East and is currently exploring the mineralization continuity in the central portion of this target. As at the date of this press release, three underground rigs are active in the near mine drilling program. In addition to the drilling programs, mine engineering work is underway on FDNS to evaluate geotechnical, mine design, metallurgical characteristics and infrastructure needs with the goal of integrating FDNS into FDN's long-term mine plan in 2026.
The surface near mine drilling program advanced in the recently discovered copper-gold mineralization at the Trancaloma target, while also continuing the delineation of the Bonza Sur deposit and drilling on new sectors like the Sandia porphyry, located a few kilometres east from the FDN deposit. As at the date of this pressrelease, 11 surface rigs are drilling, with four of them at Trancaloma, one at Sandia, one below FDN depth, one at FDN East, one at Bonza Sur, and three testing new sectors.
A table of second quarter 2025 near mine results for the FDNS, FDN East, Bonza Sur and Trancaloma and Sandia targets received to date can be found in Lundin Gold's press releases dated July 31 and August 5, 2025.
The Company advanced its multi-year regional exploration program during the second quarter of 2025. The program is expected to cover approximately 54,000 hectares on 23 of the Company's concessions along the Zamora Copper Gold Belt, a high potential geological setting which hosts the Fruta del Norte mine and several large copper gold projects. The exploration program continues to advance in the Gamora district, located 65 kilometres north of FDN and approximately four kilometres north of the Mirador copper gold mine. The Gamora district comprises multiple exploration sectors that exhibit geological features similar to those found in coppergold porphyry systems. Geological mapping and geochemical sampling programs were completed in distinct parts of the district during the quarter and resulted in the identification of several new potential targets for further evaluation. Furthermore, exploration started at the Soberano concession, located approximately 22 kilometres southwest from the FDN Mine, where geological mapping followed by soil and rock sampling were completed.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
This Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A") of Lundin Gold Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Lundin Gold" or the "Company") provides a detailed analysis of the Company's business and compares its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 with those of the same period from the previous year.
This MD&A is dated as of August 7, 2025 and should be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and related notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, which are prepared in accordance with IAS 34: Interim Financial Statements, and the Company's audited annual consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto, which are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards"), and the MD&A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. References to the "2025 Period" and "2024 Period" relate to the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.
Other continuous disclosure documents, including the Company's press releases, quarterly and annual reports, and annual information form, are available through its filings with the securities regulatory authorities in Canada at www.sedarplus.ca.
Lundin Gold, headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, is committed to positive and long-lasting impact on our host communities, while delivering significant value to stakeholders through operational excellence, cash flow generation, focused growth and returning capital to shareholders. Lundin Gold currently operates its 100% owned Fruta del Norte ("Fruta del Norte" or "FDN") gold mine in southeast Ecuador, which is one of the highest-grade gold mines in production in the world today. The Company also owns a portfolio of highly prospective exploration properties close to FDN.
The second quarter of 2025 was highlighted by record financial performance starting with quarterly revenues of \$453 million from the sale of 136,737 ounces ("oz") of gold at an average realized gold price1 of \$3,361 per oz. From this, EBITDA1 and net income of \$319 million and \$197 million, respectively, were achieved. Cash generated from operating activities of \$255 million and free cash flow1 of \$236 million or \$0.98 per share were record achievements notwithstanding annual income tax and profit sharing payments of \$95 million. As a result, pursuant to the Company's dividend policy, Lundin Gold has declared cash dividends totaling \$0.79 per share, comprised of the fixed quarterly dividend of \$0.30 per share and the variable quarterly dividend of \$0.49 per share, to be paid at the end of the third quarter.
Average mill throughput for a quarterly period exceeded 5,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") for the first time with record average recoveries of 90.9% resulting in gold production of 139,433 oz which demonstrates the impact of the process plant expansion project completed in late February. Cash operating costs1 and all-in sustaining costs ("AISC")1 of \$756 and \$927 per oz sold, respectively, were realized. While record high gold prices have bolstered the Company's financial performance, they have also increased royalties paid which affect cash operating costs1 and AISC1 . Given this strong performance and outlook, the Company elevated the lower end of its 2025 production guidance from 475,000 to 490,000 oz while maintaining the upper end at 525,000 oz. With continued efforts to reduce costs and improve mill throughput, the Company maintains its cash operating cost1 and AISC1 guidance even with average realized gold prices1 equaling \$3,231 per oz during the first half of 2025, compared to its guidance assumption of \$2,500 per oz.
Construction of the fifth tailings dam raise began in the second quarter resulting in increased sustaining capital expenditures, a figure included in the AISC1 calculation. Construction activities are expected to peak during the fourth quarter with completion expected during the first quarter of 2026.
On the Company's exploration programs, results continue to demonstrate significant exploration potential and provide a growing pipeline of targets around FDN. At Trancaloma, the drilling program confirmed the extension of the recently discovered copper-gold porphyry system and highlight the potential for other porphyries nearby. At Bonza Sur, recent drilling confirmed the deposit's continuity and suggests further potential for expansion. The conversion program at FDN South ("FDNS") indicates high grade zones within the vein system with additional mineralized zones intercepted outside

In addition to the drilling programs, mine engineering work is underway on FDNS to evaluate geotechnical, mine design, metallurgical characteristics and infrastructure needs with the goal of integrating FDNS into FDN's long-term mine plan in 2026.
The surface near mine drilling program advanced in the recently discovered copper-gold mineralization at the Trancaloma target, while also continuing the delineation of the Bonza Sur deposit and drilling on new sectors like the Sandia porphyry, located a few kilometres east from the FDN deposit. As at the date of this MD&A, 11 surface rigs are drilling, with four of them at Trancaloma, one at Sandia, one below FDN depth, one at FDN East, one at Bonza Sur, and three testing new sectors.

A table of second quarter 2025 near mine results for the FDNS, FDN East, Bonza Sur and Trancaloma and Sandia targets received to date can be found in Lundin Gold's press releases dated July 31 and August 5, 2025.
The Company advanced its multi-year regional exploration program during the second quarter of 2025. The program is expected to cover approximately 54,000 hectares on 23 of the Company's concessions along the Zamora Copper Gold Belt, a high potential geological setting which hosts the Fruta del Norte mine and several large copper gold projects. The exploration program continues to advance in the Gamora district, located 65 kilometres north of FDN and approximately four kilometres north of the Mirador copper gold mine. The Gamora district comprises multiple exploration sectors that exhibit geological features similar to those found in copper-gold porphyry systems. Geological mapping and geochemical sampling programs were completed in distinct parts of the district during the quarter and resulted in the identification of several new potential targets for further evaluation. Furthermore, exploration started at the Soberano concession, located approximately 22 kilometres southwest from the FDN Mine, where geological mapping followed by soil and rock sampling were completed.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company generated net income of \$197 million during the second quarter of 2025 compared to \$119 million during the second quarter of 2024. Net income was generated from the recognition of revenues of \$453 million, which resulted in income from mining operations of \$314 million, as well as finance income of \$5.2 million. This is offset by exploration costs of \$13.3 million, corporate administration costs of \$16.1 million, income tax expense of \$92.0 million, and other expenses totalling \$1.3 million. During the second quarter of 2024, when the Company completed the buy back of the Stream Facility and Offtake, net income was generated from the recognition of revenues of \$301 million and income from mining operations of \$172 million as well as a derivative gain on \$262 million, finance income of \$4.8 million, and other income of \$1.5 million. This is offset by finance expense of \$254 million, income tax expense of \$52.3 million, and other expenses totalling \$13.7 million.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company generated revenues of \$453 million from the sale of 136,737 oz of gold and income from mining operations of \$314 million compared to revenues of \$301 million from the sale of 129,396 oz of gold and income from mining operations of \$172 million during the second quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in oz sold at a higher average realized gold price1 .
Exploration costs were \$13.3 million in the quarter compared to \$8.9 million during the same period in 2024. The increase is attributable to the continued expansion of the near-mine exploration program following positive results to date.
Corporate administration costs increased by \$11.2 million from \$4.9 million during the second quarter of 2024 to \$16.1 million during the second quarter of 2025. The increase is mainly attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation expense of \$11.1 million. Effective December 31, 2024, share units have been reclassified as financial liabilities measured at fair value since, subject to the continued discretion of the Company's board of directors, they are expected to generally settle in cash in future periods. Therefore, stock-based compensation expense during the second quarter of 2025 reflects the increase in the Company's share price from March 31, 2025 to June 30, 2025.
No finance expense was incurred during the second quarter of 2025 following the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake at the end of the second quarter of 2024.
Finance income increased from \$4.8 million during the second quarter of 2024 to \$5.2 million during the second quarter of 2025 as the Company's increased cash balance offset a declining yield on the Company's treasury investments.
Other expense of \$1.3 million was recognized during the quarter compared to other income of \$1.5 million in the second quarter of 2024 which is mainly driven by foreign exchange movements during the period and its impact on the Company's liabilities and expenses that are denominated in Canadian dollars.
With the Company in a debt free position, no derivative gains or losses are recognized. During the second quarter of 2024, the derivative gain of \$262 million primarily resulted from the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Income taxes of \$92.0 million were recorded during the second quarter of 2025 (three months ended June 30, 2024 – \$52.3 million) which is comprised of current income tax expenses of \$110.2 million offset by deferred income tax recovery of \$18.2 million. The change is mainly attributable to an increase in net income before tax resulting from a higher average realized gold price1 . In addition to corporate income taxes in Ecuador which are levied at a rate of 22%, income tax expense includes a 5% Ecuadorean withholding tax on the anticipated portion of net income generated from FDN to be paid in the form of dividends, and an accrual for the portion of profit sharing payable to the Government of Ecuador which is calculated at the rate of 12% of the estimated net income for tax purposes for the quarter. The employee portion of profit sharing payable, calculated at the rate of 3% of net income for tax purposes is considered an employee benefit and is included in operating expenses.
Corporate income tax instalment payments are due monthly based on a percentage of monthly revenues with residual income taxes owed, if any, due in April of each year. In addition, the government and employee portion of profit sharing are payable annually in April. The Company may elect to make additional tax payments in advance in Ecuador from time to time.
The Company generated net income of \$350 million during the 2025 Period compared to \$161 million during the 2024 Period. During the 2025 Period, revenues of \$809 million were recognized which generated income from mining operations of \$548 million, as well as finance income of \$9.9 million. This is offset by income tax expense of \$155 million and other expenses totalling \$52.3 million. Revenues and income from mining operations were lower for the 2024 Period at \$528 million and \$285 million, respectively, due mainly to lower realized gold prices. In addition, with consideration for the buy back of the Stream Facility and Offtake, derivative gains of \$244 million and finance income of \$9.2 million were recorded which are offset by finance expense of \$267 million, income tax expense of \$80.9 million, and other expenses totalling \$29.4 million
During the 2025 Period, the Company recognized revenues of \$809 million from the sale of 254,378 oz of gold. This is offset by cost of goods sold of \$262 million which is comprised of operating expenses of \$150 million; royalties of \$46.6 million; and depletion and depreciation of \$64.9 million resulting in income from mining operations of \$548 million. During the same period in 2024, revenues of \$528 million were recognized from the sale of 238,312 oz of gold resulting in income from mining operations of \$285 million.
Exploration costs were \$23.7 million during the 2025 Period compared to \$16.8 million during the 2024 Period with the increase being driven by increased activities under the near-mine exploration program given success to date.
Corporate administration costs of \$28.2 million were incurred during the 2025 Period compared to \$15.2 million during the 2024 Period. The increase is mainly due to additional expenses relating to cash-settled share units and its fair value adjustment which reflect the increase in the Company's share price from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025. During the 2024 Period, these share units were considered to be equity-settled and not subject to fair value accounting.
No finance expense was incurred during the 2025 Period following the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake at the end of the second quarter of 2024.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
With the Company in a debt free position, no derivative gains or losses are recognized. During the 2024 Period, a derivative gain of \$244 million was recorded on the statement of operations which was mainly due to the buy out of the Stream Facility and Offtake.
As at June 30, 2025, the Company had cash of \$493 million and a working capital balance of \$562 million compared to cash of \$349 million and a working capital balance of \$459 million at December 31, 2024.
The change in cash during the 2025 Period was primarily due to cash generated from operating activities of \$449 million and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and anti-dilution rights totalling \$17.7 million. This is offset by dividends paid of \$280 million and capital expenditures of \$42.6 million.
Trade receivables mainly represent the value of concentrate sold as at period end for which the funds are not yet received. Revenues and related trade receivables for concentrate sales are initially recorded at provisional gold prices. Subsequent determination of final gold prices can range from one to four months after shipment depending on the customer. For sales that are provisionally priced at period end, an estimate of the adjustment to trade receivables is calculated based on the expected month when the final gold price is forecast to be determined and the related forward price of gold at the end of the reporting period. At June 30, 2025, this resulted in an estimated increase of \$16.5 million (\$5.1 million at December 31, 2024) to trade receivables reflecting rising gold prices during the period.
Consistent with industry standards, concentrate sales have relatively long payment terms and are not fully settled until concentrate is received by the customer and related final assays confirmed, generally two to five months after the export sale occurs.
Subject to the submission of monthly claims and their acceptance by the applicable authorities, VAT paid in Ecuador by the Company after January 1, 2018 are being refunded or applied, based on the level of export sales in any given month, as a credit against taxes payable. A portion of the VAT recoverable has been reclassified as current assets based on the Company's assessment of the estimated time for processing VAT claims during the next twelve months.
Gold inventory is recognized in the ore stockpiles and in production inventory, comprised principally of concentrate and doré at site or in transit to port or to the refinery, with a component of gold-in-circuit. The increase in gold-in-circuit inventory due to higher throughput and timing of production. The variations in doré and concentrate are mainly the result of timing of shipments around period end. In addition, there has been a decrease in the value of materials and supplies due to the continued disposal of obsolete or slow-moving inventory generally accumulated during the construction of FDN.
Investment activities during the 2025 Period are comprised principally of major sustaining capital expenditures1 including the fifth tailings dam raise, commissioning of diesel-powered generators, construction of camp and administration buildings, mine fleet overhaul, and conversion drilling. In addition, costs were incurred relating to the process plant expansion project.

Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The Company generated strong operating cash flow during the 2025 Period and expects to continue to do so for the remainder of the year based on its production and AISC1 guidance. With no debt and strong gold prices, the Company expects to generate significant free cash flow1 which will continue to support the exploration programs, planned capital expenditures, growth initiatives, and regular dividend payments under its dividend policy.
During the 2025 Period, the Company incurred \$0.5 million (2024 Period – \$1.0 million), primarily relating to office rental and related services provided by Namdo Management Services Ltd. ("Namdo"), a company associated with a director of the Company. In addition, the Company entered into transactions with its largest shareholder, Newmont Corporation, as presented in Note 16 in the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
The Company's financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents and certain receivables, which are categorized as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are categorized as financial liabilities at amortized cost. The fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Further, provisionally priced trade receivables of \$147 million (December 31, 2024 – \$156 million) are measured at fair value using quoted forward market prices.
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to a variety of financial risks by virtue of its activities.
Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The majority of the Company's cash is held in large financial institutions with a high investment grade rating. The Company is also subject to credit risk associated with its trade receivables. The Company manages this risk by only selling to a small group of reputable customers with strong financial statements.
Cash and cash equivalents are held with high quality financial institutions. Substantially all of the Company's cash and cash equivalents held with financial institutions exceed government-insured limits. The Company has established a treasury policy that seeks to minimize its credit risk by entering into transactions with investment grade creditworthy and reputable financial institutions and by monitoring the credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company seeks to limit the amount of exposure with any one counterparty in accordance with its established treasury policy.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its obligations as they become due. Cash flow forecasting is performed regularly to monitor the Company's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to always meet its operational needs. In addition, management is actively involved in the review, planning and approval of significant expenditures and commitments.
The Company is subject to commodity price risk from fluctuations in the market prices of gold and silver. Commodity price risks are affected by many factors that are outside the Company's control including global or regional consumption patterns, the supply of and demand for metals, speculative activities, the availability and costs of substitutes, inflation, and political and economic conditions. The Company has not hedged the price of any commodity at this time. The fair value of a portion of the Company's trade receivables are impacted by fluctuations of commodity prices.

The Company's sales are subject to a 5% net smelter royalty payable to the Government of Ecuador and a 1% net smelter royalty payable to third parties.
During the 2025 Period and the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no off-balance sheet transactions. The Company has not entered into any specialized financial arrangements to minimize its currency risk.
As at the date of this MD&A, there were 241,267,371 common shares issued and outstanding. There were also stock options outstanding to purchase a total of 1,724,203 common shares, 368,528 restricted share units with a performance criteria, 174,736 restricted share units, and 59,824 deferred share units.
As a result of the strong operating performance in the first half of the year, the Company is updating its 2025 production guidance from 475,000 to 525,000 oz to 490,000 to 525,000 oz. Due to mine sequencing, the Company expects a reduction in average head grade during the second half of the year. The Company also expects its cash operating cost1 and AISC1 to be near the upper end of guidance of \$730 to \$790 and \$935 to \$995 per oz sold respectively. While the significant increase in gold price has led to record financial performance during the first half of 2025, it has also resulted in increased royalties and profit sharing to employees, metrics that impact cash operating cost1 and AISC1 . Continued efforts to reduce cost and improvements to mill throughput is expected to allow the Company to remain within the upper end of its cost guidance even with average realized gold prices1 of \$3,231 per oz during the first half of 2025, compared to its guidance assumption of \$2,500 per oz. Sustaining capital expenditures1 are expected to increase over the remainder of the year and come in at the previously guided \$75 to \$85 million.
The near-mine underground drilling program is expected to continue to advance at FDNS where the primary focus is the conversion and expansion of this new system. The surface drilling program is expected to continue to explore the recently discovered Trancaloma copper-gold porphyry mineralization, expand the mineralization along the Bonza Sur and FDN East sectors, and advance on new sectors around FDN.
Seventeen rigs are currently turning across the conversion and near-mine exploration programs. The Company increased the near-mine drilling program by 18,000 metres to a minimum of 83,000 metres to accelerate the definition of near-mine targets and the conversion drilling program from 15,000 metres to approximately 25,000 metres. A minimum of 108,000 metres of drilling are planned across the conversion and near-mine drilling programs for 2025. In addition, mine engineering work is underway on FDNS to evaluate geotechnical, mine design, metallurgical characteristics and infrastructure needs with the goal of integrating FDNS into FDN's long-term mine plan in 2026.

The regional exploration program is expected to continue to focus on the unexplored large package of mineral concessions located on a highly prospective environment which hosts the Fruta del Norte deposit. This is the first year of a new three-year greenfield strategy to identify new areas for exploration drilling. The 2025 program includes a geophysical magnetic survey and a geochemical sampling program.
The total estimated cost of the near-mine and regional program is \$47 million for the year. This represents the largest drill program ever completed on the land package that hosts the FDN deposit.
Under its dividend policy, the Company anticipates continuing to declare quarterly minimum dividends of \$0.30 per share, equivalent to approximately \$300 million annually based on currently issued and outstanding shares, plus a variable dividend equal to an amount based on at least 50% of the Company's normalized free cash flow, after the deduction of the fixed dividend.
This MD&A refers to certain financial measures, such as average realized gold price per oz sold, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, cash operating cost per oz sold, all-in sustaining cost, sustaining capital expenditures, free cash flow, free cash flow per share, and adjusted earnings, which are not recognized under IFRS Accounting Standards and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards. These measures may differ from those made by other companies and accordingly may not be comparable to such measures as reported by other companies. These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements because the Company believes that they are of assistance in the understanding of the results of operations and its financial position.
Average realized gold price is a metric used to better understand the gold price realized during a period. This is calculated by disaggregating revenues for the period between gross gold sales before provisional pricing impact, markto-market on provisionally priced sales, and silver revenues less treatment and refining charges.

All-in sustaining cost and sustaining capital expenditures
AISC provides information on the total cost associated with producing gold and has been calculated on a basis consistent with historic news releases by the Company.
The Company calculates AISC as the sum of total cash operating costs (as described above), corporate social responsibility costs, treatment and refining charges, accretion of restoration provision, and sustaining capital expenditures, less silver revenue, all divided by the gold oz sold to arrive at a per oz amount. Sustaining capital expenditures is defined as cash basis expenditures which maintain existing operations and sustain production levels.
Other companies may calculate this measure differently as a result of differences in underlying principles and policies applied.

Free cash flow is indicative of the Company's ability to generate cash from operations after consideration for required capital expenditures, including related VAT impact, necessary to maintain operations and interest and finance expense paid on its debt obligations. Free cash flow is defined as cash flow provided by operating activities, less cash used for investing activities and interest and finance expense paid.

The adoption of certain accounting policies requires the Company to make estimates that affect both the amount and timing of the recording of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Some of these estimates require judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. For a complete discussion of accounting estimates deemed most crucial by the Company, refer to the Company's annual 2024 Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Natural resources exploration, development and operation involves a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, the risks discussed elsewhere in this MD&A and those set out in the Company's Annual Information Form dated March 17, 2025 (the "AIF"), which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
The technical information relating to Fruta del Norte contained in this MD&A has been reviewed and approved by Terry Smith P. Eng, Lundin Gold's COO, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The disclosure of exploration information contained in this MD&A was prepared by Andre Oliveira P.Geo, Vice President, Exploration of the Company, who is a Qualified Person in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101.
The report for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 is expected to be published on or about November 6, 2025.
Management's Discussion and Analysis Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 (All dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Tables are expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, are responsible for the design of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures in order to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation.
Management is also responsible for the design of the Company's internal control over financial reporting in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
Because of their inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Furthermore, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
As required under Multilateral Instrument 52-109, management advises that there have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent interim period, beginning January 1, 2025 and ending June 30, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Certain of the information and statements in this MD&A are considered "forward-looking information" or "forward-looking statements" as those terms are defined under Canadian securities laws (collectively referred to as "forward-looking statements"). Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, identified by words or phrases such as "believes", "anticipates", "expects", "is expected", "scheduled", "estimates", "pending", "intends", "plans", "forecasts", "targets", or "hopes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "will", "should" "might", "will be taken", or "occur" and similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements.
By their nature, forward-looking statements and information involve assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict, and are usually beyond the control of management, that could cause actual results to be materially different from those expressed by these forward-looking statements and information. Lundin Gold believes that the expectations reflected in this forward-looking information are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information should not be unduly relied upon. This information speaks only as of the date of this MD&A, and the Company will not necessarily update this information, unless required to do so by securities laws.
This MD&A contains forward-looking information in a number of places, such as in statements pertaining to the Company's 2025 production outlook, including estimates of gold production, grades recoveries and AISC; operating plans; expected sales receipts and cash flow forecasts; gold price; estimated capital costs and sustaining capital; estimated costs related to the Company's near-mine and regional drilling programs; the Company's ability to mitigate the impacts on its operations of a power disruption from the national grid; recovery of VAT; benefits of the Company's community programs; the Company's declaration and payment of dividends pursuant to its dividend policy; and the timing and the success of its drill program at Fruta del Norte and its other exploration activities.
Lundin Gold's actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement or that could have a material impact on the Company or the trading price of its shares include risks relating to: instability in Ecuador; community relations; reliability of power supply; tax changes in Ecuador; security; availability of workforce and labour relations; mining operations; waste disposal and

tailings; environmental compliance; illegal mining; Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates; infrastructure; regulatory risk; government or regulatory approvals; forecasts relating to production and costs; gold price; dependence on a single mine; shortages of critical resources; climate change; exploration and development; control of Lundin Gold; dividends; information systems and cyber security; title matters and surface rights and access; health and safety; human rights; employee misconduct; measures to protect biodiversity, endangered species and critical habitats; global economic conditions; competition for new projects; key talent recruitment and retention; market price of the Company's shares; social media and reputation; insurance and uninsured risks; pandemics, epidemics or infectious disease outbreak; conflicts of interest; violation of anti-bribery and corruption laws; internal controls; claims and legal proceedings; and reclamation obligations.
There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as Lundin Gold's actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in this forward-looking information as a result of the factors discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" in the AIF available at www.sedarplus.ca.

(a) Trade receivables mainly represent the value of concentrate sold as at period end for which the funds are not yet received. Consistent with industry standards, these sales generally have relatively long payment terms and are not settled until two to five months after export.
Concentrate sales are first recorded based on provisional prices. For sales that are provisionally priced as at June 30, 2025, an adjustment is estimated and recorded using the forward gold price at quarter end for the future month when the final gold price for each individual sale is expected to be determined. This adjustment resulted in an increase of \$16.5 million in trade receivables as of June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024 - \$5.1 million increase) reflecting rising gold prices during the period.

(b) Subject to submission of VAT claims and their acceptance by the applicable tax authorities, VAT paid in Ecuador by the Company is being refunded or applied as a credit against taxes payable, based on the level of export sales in any given month. Therefore, a portion of the VAT recoverable has been reclassified as current assets based on the Company's assessment of the estimated time for processing VAT claims during the next twelve months.

The stream loan credit facility (the "Stream Facility") and the offtake derivative liability (the "Offtake") were accounted for as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss until the closing of their buy out from Newmont Corporation ("Newmont") on June 27, 2024 (the "Closing Date") following payment of the first tranche of the purchase price of \$180 million. The second and final tranche of \$150 million was paid on September 30, 2024. The total buy out price of \$330 million was comprised of the remaining unamortized principal balance of \$94.4 million and finance expense of \$235.6 million. The derivative adjustments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 reflect the reversal of accumulated derivative adjustments recorded on the Stream Facility since its inception in 2017.
Until the Closing Date, the Company made scheduled monthly payments under the Stream Facility totaling \$35.8 million of which \$6.7 million was paid on account of principal; \$3.7 million for accrued interest; and the remaining \$25.4 million as a finance expense. Following the buy out of the Stream Facility, the remaining balance of deferred transaction costs were recognized within finance expense.
Authorized:
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company issued 252,592 common shares to Newmont, indirectly through its subsidiary Newcrest Canada Inc. ("Newcrest") at a weighted average price of CAD\$60.89 per share for total proceeds of \$11.2 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 804,340 common shares were issued to Newcrest at a weighted average price of CAD\$22.40 per share for total proceeds of \$13.1 million. These issuances were completed in accordance with Newcrest's anti-dilution rights granted as part of its initial investment into the Company.

i. Stock options
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, 143,500 stock options were granted to employees and nonemployees. These options have a weighted average exercise price of CAD\$38.58, an expiry date of five years and vest over a period of three or four years from date of grant. The total number of stock options outstanding at June 30, 2025 was 1,724,203.
The fair value based method of accounting was applied to stock options granted on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| June 30, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Risk-free interest rate Expected stock price volatility Expected life Expected dividends (CAD) |
2.64% 35.27% 4 years \$1.13 |
| Weighted-average fair value per option granted (CAD) | \$9.29 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of \$0.5 million (six months ended June 30, 2024 – \$0.7 million) related to stock options.
ii. Share units
The Company has issued and outstanding deferred share units (DSUs), restricted share units without performance criteria (RSUs), and restricted share units with performance criteria (PSUs) (collectively, "Share Units"). Share Units were initially expected to be settled in shares. However, starting December 31, 2024, to the extent permitted by the Company's omnibus incentive plan and subject to the continued discretion of the Company's board of directors, Share Units are expected to generally settle in cash. As a result, the Share Units were reclassified as financial liabilities measured at fair value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company granted 296,723 Share Units. In addition, in connection with dividends paid during the six months ended June 30, 2025, 15,546 Share Units were granted as Dividend Equivalents. The total number of Share Units outstanding at June 30, 2025 was 603,088.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of \$18.9 million (six months ended June 30, 2024 – \$3.5 million) related to Share Units which reflect the Company's rising share price during 2025.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, total stock-based compensation expense was \$19.4 million (six months ended June 30, 2024 – \$4.2 million expense).

ii. Other related party transactions
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company incurred \$0.5 million (six months ended June 30, 2024 – \$1.0 million), primarily relating to office rental and related services provided by Namdo Management Services Ltd. ("Namdo"), a company associated with a director of the Company. In addition, the Company entered into transactions with its largest shareholder, Newmont, during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and June 30, 2024 as disclosed in Note 8, Note 9, and Note 11.
Current income tax expense is generated from net income for tax purposes in Ecuador relating to operations at Fruta del Norte. In addition to corporate income taxes in Ecuador which are levied at a rate of 22% and dividend withholding taxes levied at a rate of 5% related to the anticipated portion of net income distributed from Ecuador, included in current income tax expense is the portion of profit sharing payable to the Government of Ecuador which is calculated at the rate of 12% of net income for tax purposes. The employee portion of profit sharing, calculated at the rate of 3% of net income for tax purposes, is considered an employment benefit and included in operating costs.
The Company pays monthly corporate income tax instalment payments based on a percentage of monthly revenues. Remaining corporate income taxes owed, if any, and profit sharing in Ecuador are due in April of each year. In addition, audits by the tax authorities in Ecuador may result in additional taxes owed from time to time due to differing interpretations of tax law which may impact the Company's financial results.
The rates used in Ecuador differ from the amount that would result from applying the Canadian federal and provincial income tax rates to net income before tax. These differences result from the following items:

However, the Company is not economically dependent on these customers as gold and silver can be sold to and through numerous banks and commodity market traders worldwide.
The Company's financial instruments include cash, cash equivalents and certain receivables, which are categorized as financial assets at amortized cost, and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are categorized as financial liabilities at amortized cost.
