Dear shareholders,

DPM had another excellent year in 2025, one that demonstrated our strengths in operational excellence, disciplined capital, and organic growth. We once again delivered on our production guidance, generated record financial results and added near- and longer-term growth to our portfolio, both through our acquisition of Adriatic Metals plc (“Adriatic”) and through the drill bit, with new discoveries and ongoing exploration in Serbia adding significant new Mineral Resources. These achievements demonstrate our strategy to be a premier mining business and are a testament to our commitment to generating value for our shareholders.

Highlights from the year include:

  • Achieving our gold production guidance for the eleventh consecutive year

  • Adding the high quality Vareš operation to our portfolio, transforming our near-term growth profile

  • Continuing to rapidly progress the Čoka Rakita project, completing the feasibility study and advancing permitting

  • Delivering the Rakita Camp initial Inferred Resource Estimate, highlighting its potential as a Tier One gold asset

  • Discovering the high-grade Wedge Zone Deep target and extending mine life at Chelopech

  • Generating a record $505 million in free cash flow and $443 million in adjusted net earnings[1]

  • Maintaining our strong financial position to fund growth, ending the year with $498 million of cash and no debt

Most importantly, we achieved these accomplishments while upholding our long track record of responsible mining, achieving strong safety performance while continuing to demonstrate our strengths in sustainability, which is embedded at all levels of the organization. DPM ranked in the top decile among mining and metals companies in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the fifth consecutive year, a testament to our commitment to responsible mining.

Overall, we were pleased to see our accomplishments in 2025 result in DPM being one of the top performing stocks among mid-cap precious metals producers, with our shares increasing by 225%.[2]

OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

In 2025, we delivered our eleventh consecutive year of meeting our annual gold production guidance, a remarkable achievement that demonstrates our operational strength and consistency. We produced approximately 245,000 ounces of gold and 30 million pounds of copper, and maintained our low-cost position with an all-in sustaining cost of $1,121 per ounce of gold sold.[1]

FULLY FUNDED GROWTH
----- End of picture text -----

$900M OF TOTAL LIQUIDITY5

Our operating performance, combined with strong metals prices, generated record financial results, including $505 million of free cash flow and $443 million of adjusted net earnings.

We ended the year with $498 million in cash on the balance sheet, no debt, and in February 2026, entered into a new $400 million revolving credit facility, providing us with approximately $900 million of total liquidity.

Looking ahead, our three-year outlook reflects our current production base, anchored by Chelopech and Vareš, which are expected to produce approximately 350,000 gold equivalent ounces[3] (“GEO”) annually, with an all-in sustaining cost of $1,450 per GEO sold over the next three years.

Chelopech: Flagship asset underpinning success

At Chelopech, our flagship asset that continues to underpin our success, production of approximately 174,400 ounces of gold and 30 million pounds of copper was in line with 2025 guidance.

Chelopech’s updated life of mine plan, published in February 2026, sustains an average production level of approximately 160,000 GEO per year and extends mine life, underpinned by an increase to Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves to 1.6 million ounces of gold and 308 million pounds of copper. We were pleased to achieve our target of increasing Chelopech’s mine life to 10 years, however it is important to note that this does not incorporate the potential from the new Wedge Zone Deep discovery, announced in November 2025, and the prospectivity of the Chelopech North and Brevene exploration licences.

The Wedge Zone Deep target was discovered in a previously unexplored area of the mine, approximately 300 metres below existing Mineral Reserves and adjacent to existing mine infrastructure. Results from this high-grade zone included 68.3 metres at 7.42 g/t AuEq, demonstrating grades higher than the Mineral Reserve grade, representing an opportunity to enhance mill feed grades and gold production.[4]

  1. The Company uses conversion ratios for calculating GEO for its silver, copper, zinc and lead production and sales, which are calculated by multiplying the volumes of metal produced or sold, as applicable, by the respective assumed metal prices, and dividing the resulting figure by assumed gold price.

Initial drilling results demonstrate that this area is highly prospective for additional discoveries. We are currently completing a 10,000-metre drilling program in the first quarter of 2026, and expect to provide an update in the second quarter.

WE WERE PLEASED TO ACHIEVE OUR TARGET OF INCREASING CHELOPECH’S MINE LIFE TO 10 YEARS

  1. Refer to the news release titled “DPM Metals Extends Chelopech Mine Life to Ten Years; Provides Updated Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimate and Life of Mine Plan” issued on February 10, 2026 for details, posted on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

244,979 OUNCES OF GOLD PRODUCED IN 2025

Ada Tepe: Responsible mine closure

Ada Tepe produced 70,545 ounces of gold total in 2025, once again achieving its annual guidance.

As the first new mine in the Balkans in 40 years, Ada Tepe has demonstrated DPM’s ability to permit, build, and operate a worldclass asset. Since commencing operations in 2019, the mine has continually delivered impressive performance, quarter after quarter, contributing substantial gold production and free cash flow to DPM’s portfolio.

In 2026, we have an opportunity to establish a new track record of responsible mining, as we prepare for the end of Ada Tepe’s mine life. Our goal is to ensure that the community will continue to thrive and grow long after our operations have ended. Our continuing investment in small and medium enterprises has created 180 news jobs and continues to foster the development of local businesses not connected to the mining industry.

DRIVING FUTURE GROWTH

Vareš: Ramping up to full production

In September, we completed the acquisition of Adriatic, integrating the Vareš operation into our asset portfolio. A logical fit, Vareš adds near-term production growth from a long-life asset, a highly prospective land package and cash flow diversification to our portfolio.

The acquisition was awarded the Mining Deal of the Year award at the Resourcing Tomorrow Awards in December, recognizing the outstanding collaboration and shared commitment to strategic growth and value creation for our investors and stakeholders.

From day one under DPM’s ownership, we have focused on embedding DPM’s health and safety practices at Vareš, ensuring that the well-being of people remains our top priority. We have also transformed local training programs to develop future leaders and engage with stakeholders, both important steps as we build a strong foundation for long-term success.

In line with DPM’s plan, production at Vareš under our ownership was minimal for the balance of 2025. Mine development rates have continued to progress as planned, and mine production recommenced at the start of January 2026. We are on track to achieve the full 850,000 tonne per year processing rate by the end of 2026.

Our track record of optimizing assets and driving efficiencies gives us the confidence that we can unlock additional value at Vareš, just as we have done at Chelopech.

Čoka Rakita: Building a low-cost, high-margin mine

In 2025, we achieved a significant milestone for the Čoka Rakita project with the completion of the feasibility study in November. The feasibility study confirmed robust economics for a high-margin underground gold mining operation, contributing approximately 189,000 gold ounces annually for the first five years at first quartile life of mine all-in sustaining costs of $644 per gold ounce sold.[6]

Delivered in less than 36 months of announcing its discovery in 2023, the rapid pace of advancement through to the completion of the feasibility study demonstrates the confidence we have in the high-quality nature of this deposit and the well-established processes in Serbia.

Based on the strong results of the feasibility study, we are proceeding to construction readiness and will continue to advance permitting in parallel to support the start of mine construction in early 2027, with first concentrate production anticipated in the first half of 2029.

Rakita Camp: Significant district scale potential

In December 2025, we announced initial Mineral Resource Estimates for the Dumitru Potok, Rakita North and Frasen prospects, all located within one kilometre of planned Čoka Rakita infrastructure.

With a combined Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate[7] of 84.4 million tonnes at a grade of 0.97 g/t gold and 1.02% copper for 2.6 million ounces of gold and 1.9 billion pounds of copper, these estimates confirm the Rakita Camp’s potential as a districtscale gold-copper system. Promisingly, each of the Dumitru Potok, Rakita North and Frasen concessions remain open in multiple directions and sit alongside several highpotential targets along a six-kilometre trend. Together with the Čoka Rakita feasibility study, this confirms the Rakita Camp as a Tier One gold asset for DPM, offering a rare combination of scale, grade and longevity.

THE ČOKA RAKITA FEASIBILITY STUDY CONFIRMED ROBUST ECONOMICS FOR A HIGH-MARGIN UNDERGROUND GOLD MINING OPERATION.

RESPONSIBLE MINING

DPM’s approach to sustainability includes minimizing environmental impact, maximizing socio-economic value, nurturing trusted stakeholder relationships, and building sustainable livelihoods for the communities in which we operate. Delivering strong sustainability performance continues to be a competitive differentiator, and this approach will continue to define our next phase of growth.

Safety remains our top priority, and this is reflected in our strong safety record and culture. In 2025, we worked to achieve new levels of health and safety performance across our organization, recording over seven million hours worked without a Lost Time Injury by the end of 2025. This performance is testament to the leadership and focus on developing and maintaining a generative safety culture that is anchored on visible felt leadership, zero tolerance, zero harm, and safe production.

We are focused on integrating our sustainability approach at Vareš. During the ramp up of the mine to full production, we are working to establish strong partnerships with all of the mine’s vital communities and engaging with local governments, community members and our newest employees. We believe this approach will help to maximize positive social outcomes from DPM’s stewardship of Vareš.

For the fifth year in a row, DPM has scored in the top decile among mining and metals companies in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment. Additionally, we have been included in the 2026 Sustainability Yearbook, which features companies that scored in the top 15 per cent of their industry.

DELIVERING SUPERIOR VALUE

This is an exciting time for DPM and our shareholders, who were rewarded with top quartile share price performance in 2025.

Our future as a growing precious metals producer, offering a peer-leading development pipeline and proven approach to capital allocation, is underpinned by our exceptional operational track record.

We remain focused on executing our strategy to deliver above-average returns for our shareholders as a mid-tier precious metals company, with a clear path forward to drive value.

In closing, I want to take this opportunity to thank our global teams for their dedication to deliver another year of outstanding results, our communities for our ongoing partnerships, and our shareholders for their ongoing support as we work to generate superior value as a premier mining business.

Corporate Development

Acquisition of Adriatic:

On September 3, 2025, DPM completed the previously announced acquisition of Adriatic (the “Transaction”), which owns the Vareš operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a producing silver-lead-zincgold underground mine.

This Transaction was accounted for as a business combination. As consideration for the acquisition, DPM paid £321.3 million ($441.4 million) in cash, and issued 54,935,109 common shares at a market price of $19.33 (Cdn$26.63) per share based on DPM's closing share price as at September 2, 2025, with an aggregate value of $1,062.2 million. The total purchase price of $1,503.5 million was allocated to the estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the closing of the Transaction, which were determined based on costs, quoted market prices and discounted cash flow models, as deemed appropriate.

The Adriatic acquisition related costs of $15.4 million, mainly comprised of financial advisory and legal fees, were expensed as incurred.

The acquisition of Adriatic enhances the Company’s portfolio of high-margin producing assets and provides exposure to a diversified base metals production profile, with strong growth potential through Vareš’s development and exploration pipeline. The acquisition builds on DPM’s long-standing regional expertise, strong balance sheet, and commitment to shareholder returns.

As a result of the acquisition, the Company has added a new reportable operating segment for the Vareš operation, in addition to its existing segments at Chelopech and Ada Tepe. For a more detailed discussion on the operating and financial results of Vareš, refer to the “Review of Operating Results by Segment – Review of Vareš Results” section of this MD&A.

  • (1) Operating highlights for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 did not include the operating results of Vareš. For a more detailed discussion on the operating results of Vareš, refer to the “Review of Operating Results by Segment – Review of Vareš Results” section of this MD&A. In the meantime, financial highlights for the year of 2025 included the pre-commercial production financial results of Vareš during the period from September 3 to December 31, 2025, in compliance with IFRS, with the exception of average realized metal price, which is a non-GAAP measure and its exclusion of Vareš was consistent with the operating highlights above.

  • (2) Cost of sales per ounce of gold sold represents total cost of sales for Chelopech and Ada Tepe, divided by total payable gold in concentrates sold, while all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold includes treatment and freight charges, net of by-product credits, all of which are reflected in revenue.

  • (3) Cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold; average realized metal prices; adjusted EBITDA; adjusted net earnings; adjusted basic earnings per share and free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section commencing on page 45 of this MD&A for more information, including reconciliations to IFRS measures.

  • (4) Capital expenditures incurred were reported on an accrual basis and do not represent the cash outlays for the capital expenditures.

  • (5) Sustaining capital expenditures are generally defined as expenditures that support the ongoing operation of the asset or business without any associated increase in capacity, life of assets or future earnings. This measure is used by management and investors to assess the extent of nondiscretionary capital spending being incurred by the Company each period.

  • (6) Growth capital expenditures are generally defined as capital expenditures that expand existing capacity, increase life of assets and/or increase future earnings. This measure is used by management and investors to assess the extent of discretionary capital spending being undertaken by the Company each period.

  • (7) Excludes cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations of $7.4 million (2024 – $61.0 million) and cash provided from operating activities of discontinued operations of $160.5 million (2024 – cash used in operating activities of discontinued operations of $152.1 million), respectively, during the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

  • (8) Excludes payments for taxes on 2024 share repurchases of $nil and $1.0 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025.

  • (9) Available liquidity is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus the available capacity under DPM’s long-term revolving credit facility (“RCF”) at the end of each reporting period. In February 2026, DPM replaced the RCF with a new committed revolving credit facility (the “New RCF”). As a result, the Company’s available liquidity as at December 31, 2025 reflected the increased available credit limit $400.0 million under the New RCF, as compared to the previous credit limit of $150.0 million reflected as at December 31, 2024.

Operating Highlights

In 2025, the Company’s Chelopech and Ada Tepe operations achieved their gold production guidance for the eleventh consecutive year. Operating highlights discussed below excluded the operating results of Vareš.

  • Gold contained in concentrates produced in the fourth quarter of 2025 was comparable to 2024, due primarily to higher gold grades at Chelopech offset by mining in lower grade zones at Ada Tepe. Gold contained in concentrates produced in 2025 was 6% lower than 2024, due primarily to lower gold grades and recoveries at Ada Tepe.

  • Payable gold in concentrates sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 2% and 6% lower than 2024, respectively, primarily reflecting gold production.

  • Copper production in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 27% higher than 2024 due primarily to higher copper grades. Copper production in 2025 was comparable to 2024.

  • Payable copper in concentrate sold in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 15% higher than 2024 due primarily to higher copper production. Payable copper in concentrate sold in 2025 was comparable to 2024.

  • All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter of 2025 was 20% higher than 2024 due primarily to higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses reflecting DPM’s strong share price performance, and a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher by-product credits reflecting higher realized prices and volumes for copper sold. All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in 2025 was 29% higher than 2024 due primarily to higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses, lower volumes of gold sold and a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, partially offset by higher by-product credits reflecting higher realized prices for copper and silver sold. Mark-to-market adjustments to sharebased compensation expenses resulted in an increase of $344 and $242 per ounce of gold sold, respectively, in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025, compared to a decrease of $7 and an increase of $28 per ounce of gold sold in the corresponding periods in 2024.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

  • Sustaining capital expenditures incurred in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 9% higher than 2024, due primarily to timing of expenditures at Chelopech, partially offset by lower deferred stripping costs as a result of lower stripping ratios at Ada Tepe. Sustaining capital expenditures incurred in 2025 were 4% lower than 2024 due primarily to changes in deferred stripping costs as a result of changes in the stripping ratios at Ada Tepe, in line with the mine plan.

  • Growth and other capital expenditures incurred in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were $15.8 million and $38.3 million higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to costs related to the Čoka Rakita project being capitalized from 2025 as a result of the project’s advancement to the feasibility study (“FS”) stage.

Financial Highlights

DPM achieved record financial results for 2025 in revenue, earnings and free cash flow, reflecting recordhigh realized metal prices, combined with the Company’s stable operating performance for the year. Financial results in 2025 also reflected the inclusion of Vareš for the period of September 3 to December 31, 2025.

  • Revenue in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 97% and 57% higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to higher realized metal prices, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold at Ada Tepe. Revenue in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 also benefited from the post-acquisition revenue from Vareš.

  • Cost of sales in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 53% and 32% higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to Vareš operating costs and a non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories recognized in cost of sales at Vareš following the acquisition of Adriatic, higher depreciation expense, higher labour cost, a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar and higher royalties reflecting higher metal prices.

  • Net earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 81% higher than 2024, due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales, higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses and a fair value loss on copper stream liability of $8.5 million. Net earnings from continuing operations in 2025 were 52% higher than 2024, due primarily to the same factors affecting the quarter, partially offset by the 2025 Bulgarian levy of $24.4 million, Adriatic acquisition related costs of $15.4 million and a fair value loss on copper stream liability of $9.2 million.

  • Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were 106% and 91% higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to the same factors affecting net earnings from continuing operations, with the exception of adjusting items primarily related to the 2025 Bulgarian levy, Adriatic acquisition related costs, the non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories at Vareš, and the fair value loss on copper stream liability, as well as a net termination fee received from Osino Resources Corp. (“Osino”) in 2024.

  • Cash provided from operating activities of continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 84% and 66% higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to higher earnings generated in the periods and the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash, partially offset by the timing of payments to suppliers, the payments of the 2025 Bulgarian levy and higher income taxes paid.

  • Free cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was 99% and 66% higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to higher adjusted net earnings generated in the periods, partially offset by the payments of the 2025 Bulgarian levy. Free cash flow is calculated before changes in working capital.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

  • Return of capital to shareholders through dividends paid and payments for shares repurchased under the Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) in 2025, which in aggregate was $145.5 million, representing 29% of free cash flow from continuing operations, in line with the Company's commitment to a sustainable quarterly dividend and its share buyback program reflecting strong ongoing operational performance and significant free cash flow generation.

  • Strong balance sheet with $497.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2025, an undrawn $400.0 million New RCF and no debt.

Development Projects, Exploration and Other Highlights

  • Chelopech mine life extension: In February 2026, DPM announced an updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate and life of mine plan for the Chelopech mine, which increased Mineral Reserves to 1.6 million ounces of gold and 308 million pounds of copper and extended mine life to 10 years.

  • Vareš operation: Production at the Vareš operation during the fourth quarter was minimal, as implementing DPM safety practices, training and decline development have continued to be a priority focus. Activities to support the ramp-up to commercial production by the end of 2026 are proceeding as planned.

  • Čoka Rakita project: FS results for the Čoka Rakita project, published in November 2025, confirm robust economics for a high-margin underground mining operation with first quarter costs and a high rate of return. During the fourth quarter, a significant permitting milestone was achieved with the approval to initiate the Special Purpose Spatial Plan process. Most of the baseline studies required for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (“ESIA”) have been completed. The Company is targeting the start-up of mine construction in early 2027, with first concentrate production anticipated in the first half of 2029.

  • Rakita camp exploration: In December 2025, DPM announced initial Mineral Resource Estimates for the Dumitru Potok, Rakita North and Frasen prospects, all located within one kilometre of the Čoka Rakita project. This established the Rakita camp as a potential district-scale gold-copper system. The Company continues to advance its exploration activities at the Rakita camp, currently focusing on prospects on the Potaj Cuka and Pester Jug licences while the ordinary course renewal of the Čoka Rakita licence is in progress.

  • Loma Larga project: The Company is considering all options to preserve value and optionality for shareholders, including evaluation of all legal avenues, following the revocation of the environmental licence for the project by the Ministry of Environment and Energy.

  • ESG: DPM scored in the top decile among metals and mining companies in the S&P Global Corporate Sustainability Assessment for the fifth consecutive year.

(3) Cash cost per tonne of ore processed is a non-GAAP ratio. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section commencing on page 45 of this MD&A for more information, including reconciliations to IFRS measures.

  • (4) Metals contained in concentrates produced are prior to deductions associated with smelter terms.

(5) Includes gold in pyrite concentrate produced of 50,008 ounces compared to guidance of 50,000 to 55,000 ounces and payable gold in pyrite concentrate sold of 35,095 ounces compared to guidance of 35,000 to 39,000 ounces, respectively.

(6) Excludes share-based compensation expense of approximately $60 million, including mark-to-market adjustments from movements in the Company’s share price of $54 million, compared to guidance of approximately $6 million before mark-to-market adjustments, given the volatile nature of this expense.

DPM achieved its 2025 gold and copper production and delivery guidance as a result of continued strong operating performance at Chelopech and Ada Tepe.

Chelopech cash cost per tonne of ore processed was above the high end of the guidance range due primarily to higher labour costs including higher mark-to-market adjustment for share-based compensation expenses as a result of DPM’s strong share price performance, and a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Ada Tepe achieved a cash cost per tonne of ore processed at the low end of the guidance range due primarily to higher volumes of ore processed, partially offset by higher labour costs.

Consolidated all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold was above the high end of the guidance range due primarily to the impact of the mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses, which resulted in an increase in the all-in sustaining cost of $242 per ounce of gold sold in 2025, partially offset by higher by-product credits due to higher copper and silver prices.

Exploration expenses in 2025 were above the high end of the guidance range due primarily to accelerated drilling at and around Čoka Rakita in Serbia.

Sustaining capital expenditures in 2025 was above the high end of the guidance range due primarily to higher than expected costs related to the underground capital development at Chelopech.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Growth and other capital expenditures in 2025 was at the low end of the guidance range related primarily to the timing of activities at the Čoka Rakita project in Serbia.

THREE-YEAR OUTLOOK

The Company’s three-year outlook and 2026 detailed guidance include operating and financial results of Vareš. The Company continues to fund its high-quality organic growth pipeline and exploration activities, and accelerate precious metals production from the Vareš mine as it ramps up to full production in the fourth quarter of 2026. As reflected in the outlook, DPM continues to maintain low-cost, high-margin mining operations, in line with its proven track record of delivering long-term shareholder value.

Starting in 2026, the Company will report and provide guidance and outlook on metals production and allin sustaining cost on a gold equivalent ounce (“GEO”) basis, reflecting the addition of the polymetallic Vareš mine. Highlights of the three-year outlook include:

  • Metals production: Metals production is expected to average approximately 350,000 GEO annually over the next three years. The growth in production is driven primarily by the contribution from Vareš and stable production at Chelopech, partially offset by lower production at Ada Tepe as it reaches the end of its mine life by mid-2026.

  • Maintains low-cost position: Consolidated all-in sustaining cost over the next three years is expected to average approximately $1,450 per GEO sold. This outlook reflects variations in metals production and sales year over year, as well as the impact of higher local currency operating costs, combined with a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar as compared to 2025.

  • Exploration expenses: Exploration activities remain a strategic focus for the Company. Reflecting the success of its exploration programs at increasing shareholder value, DPM is increasing its investment in exploration in 2026 by approximately $10 million as compared to 2025. In 2026, exploration expenses will continue to support drilling at prospective targets around the Čoka Rakita project and surrounding licences, extending the mine life at Chelopech, advancing the geological understanding at Vareš, together with disciplined exploration spending related to other targets and new opportunities in Serbia, Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Company has allocated approximately $30 million to $40 million for 2027 and 2028, consistent with previous three-year outlook, with potential for further investment in exploration based on ongoing success and the prospectivity of the Company’s exploration prospects.

  • Sustaining capital expenditures: Chelopech is expected to maintain stable sustaining capital expenditures over the next three years. Vareš is expected to incur approximately $10 million to $20 million sustaining capital each year primarily related to the underground capital development. No sustaining capital expenditures are expected at Ada Tepe as the mine reaches the end of its life by mid-2026.

  • Growth capital expenditures: The three-year outlook for growth capital expenditures primarily relates to the initial capital for the Čoka Rakita project, which is expected to commence construction in early 2027 and achieve first production of concentrate in the first half of 2029. In 2026, growth capital for Čoka Rakita project also includes pre-construction activities, such as detailed engineering, environmental and permitting, early works and operational readiness. Growth capital expenditures in 2026 also include expenditures at Vareš to support the development and ramp-up to commercial production, as well as limited expenditures related to the Loma Larga project, comprising primarily of running costs. DPM is planning to minimize spending at the Loma Larga project pending resolution of the revocation of the environmental licence.

(1) Based on, where applicable, a Euro/US$ exchange rate of 1.20, and metal prices of $4,200/oz for gold, $50/oz for silver, $5.00/lb for copper, $1.30/lb for zinc and $0.90/lb for lead.

  • (2) Current assumptions for royalties are at a rate of 1.5% and 6% for Chelopech and Ada Tepe, respectively, based on the gross value of metals contained in ore mined, and at a rate of $2.18 per tonne of ore mined for Vareš. On January 30, 2026, the Bulgarian government adopted new royalty rates for applicable mining concessions, increasing the royalty rates to 2% - 6% for gold and silver, and 2% - 5% for copper. These new rates do not apply to the existing Chelopech concession, which is subject to fixed royalty terms and expires in 2029. The new rates will become applicable to Chelopech upon renewal of its concession agreement in 2029.

  • (3) 2026 cash cost per tonne of ore processed for Vareš is calculated based on gross operating costs, prior to pre-commercial production cost capitalization, divided by total volumes of ore processed. On a net basis, cash cost is expected to be in the range of $110 to $127 per tonne of ore processed.

(4) Metals contained in concentrates produced are prior to deductions associated with smelter terms.

  • (5) The Company uses conversion ratios for calculating GEO for its silver, copper, zinc and lead production and sales, which are calculated by multiplying the volumes of metal produced or sold, as applicable, by the respective assumed metal prices, and dividing the resulting figure by assumed gold price.

  • (6) All-in sustaining cost per GEO is a non-GAAP financial ratio and is calculated as all-in sustaining cost divided by GEO sold. Refer to the “NonGAAP Financial Measures” section commencing on page 45 of this MD&A for more information, including reconciliations to IFRS measures.

  • (7) Allocated general and administrative expenses are reflected in the consolidated all-in sustaining cost per GEO, however are not reflected in the all-in sustaining cost per GEO for each of the mine operations, given that the nature of such expenses is more reflective of the Company’s consolidated all-in sustaining cost and not pertaining to the individual operations of the Company.

  • (8) Excludes share-based compensation expense of approximately $6 million, before mark-to-market adjustments from movements in the Company’s share price, given the volatile nature of this expense.

  • (9) Represent capital expenditures on an accrual basis and do not represent the cash outlays for capital expenditures.

  • (10) Growth capital expenditures in Corporate and Other include $91 million to $95 million for the Čoka Rakita project, consisting of $49 million to $53 million in pre-construction costs and, subject to permitting progress and schedule acceleration, approximately $42 million in pre-committed initial capital, as well as approximately $5 million of estimated costs for the Loma Larga project.

  • (8) Represent capital expenditures on an accrual basis and do not represent the cash outlays for capital expenditures.

  • (9) The 2026 to 2028 three-year outlook provided for growth capital expenditures relates primarily to the estimated construction costs for the Čoka Rakita project, as per the “NI 43-101 Technical Report Feasibility Study Čoka Rakita Project Eastern Serbia” dated January 9, 2026. See the “Development and Other Major Projects – Čoka Rakita Project” section contained in this MD&A for further details. In 2026, growth capital expenditures also include the ramp-up and development cost for the Vareš mine and the capitalized pre-commercial production operating costs at Vareš with a total of $100 million to $125 million, the pre-construction costs of $49 million to $53 million for the Čoka Rakita project, as well as the estimated cost for the Loma Larga project of approximately $5 million.

Additional detail on the Company’s three-year outlook is set out below:

Chelopech

The three-year outlook for gold and copper production at Chelopech is in line with the updated mine plan released on February 5, 2026.

Cash cost per tonne of ore processed in 2026 is expected to be higher than 2025 due primarily to a weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Euro and higher local currency operating costs.

All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold in 2026 is expected to be higher than 2025 due primarily to a weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Euro, higher local currency operating costs and lower volumes of GEO sold.

Sustaining capital expenditures over the next three years are expected to remain consistent with 2025. Growth capital expenditures relating to resource development drilling and margin improvement projects are expected to be comparable to the previous outlook as the Company accelerates the conversion of resources to reserves to support mine life extension.

Ada Tepe

Gold production at Ada Tepe for 2026 is expected to be between 15,000 and 20,000 ounces as the mine reaches the end of its life by mid-2026. The processing facilities are scheduled to be dismantled and transported for refurbishment and installation to support the Čoka Rakita project’s construction schedule.

Cash metrics are expected to be higher in 2026 as compared to 2025, due primarily to lower volumes of ore processed and lower volumes of gold sold.

The Company is actively planning and preparing the mine closure, with the major rehabilitation related activities expected to commence in 2027.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Vareš

2026 represents a transitional year for Vareš, as DPM progresses the ramp-up to 850,000 tonnes per annum. Metals production is expected to be heavily weighted to the second half of the year, representing approximately two-thirds of 2026 GEO production.

In 2026, a significant portion of cash operating costs at Vareš is expected to be capitalized to growth capital expenditures prior to the mine achieving commercial production. As reflected in the detailed 2026 guidance, DPM is accelerating precious metals production, with gold and silver production expected to be higher than previously anticipated in the technical report entitled “Amended and Restated NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Vareš Mine, Bosnia and Herzegovina” dated June 9, 2025 (the “Vareš Technical Report”). The Company is forecasting cash operating costs, before capitalization, to be higher than previously anticipated in the Vareš Technical Report, offset by higher projected cash flow and margins as a result of increased metals prices. As the mine achieves commercial production, the Company will be evaluating opportunities to optimize the cost structure for 2027 and beyond, targeting the cash cost per tonne metrics outlined in the Vareš Technical Report.

Growth capital expenditures at Vareš in 2026 is expected to range between $100 million and $125 million. Approximately half of these expenditures relate to the capitalization of operating costs prior to commercial production, with the remainder attributable to the ramp-up and development of the mine to achieve an 850,000 tonne per year operating rate by the fourth quarter of 2026. Expenditures include mine ventilation improvements, optimization of the mine design and mining methods, and completing construction of the paste backfill plant, which is on track to be commissioned during the third quarter of 2026.

Čoka Rakita project

Growth capital expenditures for 2026 associated with the Čoka Rakita project of $49 million to $53 million are expected to cover pre-construction activities, including early works and detailed engineering, environmental and permitting, as well as operational readiness. The Company is targeting commencement of construction in early 2027 and has provided a three-year outlook for the growth capital related to the construction of the Čoka Rakita project.

See the “Development and Other Major Projects – Čoka Rakita Project” section contained in this MD&A for further details.

Loma Larga project

DPM is considering all its options to preserve value and optionality for shareholders following the revocation of the environmental licence in October 2025, including evaluation of all legal avenues. As a result, the Company is planning to minimize spending at Loma Larga until the matter related to the environmental licence is resolved.

Exploration expenses

Exploration activities will be centred on brownfield projects in Serbia, Bulgaria and Bosnia, with the objective of growing the existing resource base. Exploration expenditures in 2026 will focus on drilling programs at the Rakita camp in Serbia; drilling at the Brevene licence near the Chelopech mine aimed at delivering Mineral Resource estimates, and initiating the Commercial Discovery Certificate application process. Scout and resource delineation drilling to support and advance the geological understanding at Vareš is planned for 2026. Consideration will be given to allocating additional funding to exploration expenses above the 2027 and 2028 outlook based on success and prospectivity of the Company’s exploration prospects.

See the “Exploration” and “Development and Other Major Projects – Čoka Rakita Project” sections contained in this MD&A for further details.

The production outlook for 2026 to 2028 for Chelopech is based on historical performance and experience and is consistent with the production schedules outlined in the news release for Chelopech entitled “DPM Metals Extends Chelopech Mine Life to Ten Years; Provides Updated Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates and Life of Mine Plan” dated February 5, 2026. The three-year outlook for production at Vareš is based on the Company’s enhanced understanding of the mine following the acquisition on September 3, 2025. The 2026 production is expected to be better than previously anticipated, with higher ore processed and higher gold and silver grades, as compared to the Vareš Technical Report entitled “Amended and Restated NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Vareš Mine, Bosnia and Herzegovina” dated June 9, 2025. The outlook for 2027 and 2028 on the growth capital expenditures related to the Čoka Rakita project is based on the technical report entitled “NI43-101 Technical Report Feasibility Study Čoka Rakita Project Eastern Serbia” dated January 9, 2026. All of above news release and technical reports are posted on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and have been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. For 2027 and 2028, production and cost estimates do not fully incorporate operating performance improvements in respect of mine throughput and potential changes to mine grades and recoveries. The 2026 to 2028 outlook is forward looking and based on certain estimates and assumptions which involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may vary materially from management’s expectations.

Metals production

Gold contained in concentrates produced in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher gold grades, in line with the mine plan.

Copper production in the fourth quarter of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher copper grades. Copper production in 2025 was comparable to 2024.

Metals sold

Payable gold in concentrates sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher gold production, with favourable payable gold terms for the full year.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

16

Payable copper in concentrate sold in the fourth quarter of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher copper production. Payable copper in concentrate sold in 2025 was comparable to 2024.

Cost measures

Cash cost per tonne of ore processed in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher labour costs including higher mark-to-market adjustment to share-based compensation as a result of DPM’s strong share price performance, a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, and higher royalties reflecting higher metal prices.

Cash cost per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter of 2025 was lower than 2024 due primarily to higher by-product credits reflecting higher realized prices and volumes of copper sold, and higher volumes of gold sold, partially offset by a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, higher labour costs and higher royalties. Cash cost per ounce of gold sold in 2025 was lower than 2024 due primarily to higher byproduct credits reflecting higher realized prices of copper and silver sold, lower freight charges and higher volumes of gold sold, partially offset by a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, higher labour costs and higher royalties.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was lower than 2024 due primarily to the same factors impacting cash cost per ounce of gold sold and lower cash outlays for sustaining capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were comparable to 2024.

Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource update

In February 2026, DPM announced an update to the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate and line of mine plan for the Chelopech mine in Bulgaria. Based on the updated Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate, Chelopech’s mine life now extends to 2036, an increase of approximately four years. The updated life of mine plan sustains average production levels at approximately 160,000 GEO per year, and forms the basis of the 2026 guidance and three-year outlook for Chelopech.

DPM reported an increase in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves to 1.6 million ounces of gold and 308 million pounds of copper, incorporating the Sharlo Dere prospect, updated model and design parameters as well as an updated cut-off value assumption. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources, exclusive of Mineral Reserves, increased to 1.07 million ounces of gold and 216 million pounds of copper, with a further 0.57 million ounces of gold and 114 million pounds of copper in the Inferred Mineral Resource category.

The Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate does not include the recent high grade Wedge Zone Deep (“WZD”) discovery, located within the northern flank of the Chelopech mine concession and approximately 300 metres below existing Mineral Reserves and current mine infrastructure. An update on drilling results from WZD is expected in the second quarter of 2026.

See the Company’s news release dated February 5, 2026 entitled “DPM Metals Extends Chelopech Mine Life to Ten Years; Provides Updated Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimate and Life of Mine Plan” for additional information, including key assumptions and parameters relating to the foregoing Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates, which has been posted on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and have been filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca. A technical report prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 for Chelopech is intended to be filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+. Readers are encouraged to read the technical report in its entirety, including all qualifications, assumptions, exclusions and risks that relate to the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimate and life of mine plan.

(3) Represent capital expenditures on an accrual basis and do not represent the cash outlays for capital expenditures.

Gold production

Gold contained in concentrate produced in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was lower than 2024 due primarily to mining in lower grade zones, in line with the mine plan.

Gold sold

Payable gold in concentrate sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was consistent with the gold production compared to 2024.

Cost measures

Cash cost per tonne of ore processed in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was comparable to 2024 due primarily to higher royalties reflecting higher gold prices, a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar and higher labour costs including higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation, largely offset by higher volumes of ore processed.

Cash cost per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to lower volumes of gold sold and a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar.

All-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to the same factors impacting cash cost per ounce of gold sold and higher rehabilitation related depreciation expenses as a result of an updated closure plan for Ada Tepe, as well as lower cash outlays for sustaining capital expenditures in the fourth quarter of the year.

Capital expenditures

Sustaining capital expenditures in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 reflected primarily the changes in deferred stripping costs as a result of the changes in the stripping ratios compared to 2024, in line with the mine plan.

Review of Vareš Results

On September 3, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Adriatic and the Vareš operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a producing silver-lead-zinc-gold underground mine. See “Corporate Developments” section of this MD&A for more details on the Transaction.

The Company recognized post-acquisition revenue and net earnings of $93.7 million and $28.0 million, respectively, from the pre-commercial production of the Vareš operation in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the period between September 3 and December 31, 2025. Had Vareš been consolidated from January 1, 2025, the Company would have reported revenue and a net loss related to Vareš of $206.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively, in its consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

DEVELOPMENT AND OTHER MAJOR PROJECTS

Čoka Rakita Project

On November 26, 2025, DPM announced the FS results for the Čoka Rakita project. The FS confirms robust economics for a high-margin underground gold mining operation with first quartile costs and a high rate of return using a $1,900 per ounce gold price assumption. Based on the positive results, DPM is proceeding to execution readiness and construction permitting, with first concentrate production anticipated in the first half of 2029.

Highlights of the FS include:

  • Higher gold production in the first five years, averaging approximately 189,000 ounces of gold per year;

  • Robust base case Net Present Value (“NPV”) 5% of $782 million (after-tax) and Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) of 36% at a $1,900 per ounce gold price assumption. Using a $3,500 per ounce gold price assumption, NPV5% is approximately $2.2 billion (after-tax) and IRR is approximately 68%;

  • First quartile all-in sustaining cost of $644 per ounce of gold (life-of-mine average);

  • Initial capital of approximately $448 million, well within DPM’s funding capacity;

  • Probable Mineral Reserves of approximately 7.34 million tonnes at a grade of 6.44 g/t Au for 1.52 million ounces, supporting a ten-year mine life;

  • Strategic position of project infrastructure, considering discovery of the Dumitru Potok target.

Activities during 2025 focused on completing various technical studies and the FS, while advancing the design to a basic engineering level. Project execution readiness as well as operational readiness planning continued, leveraging the project’s proximity to DPM’s Chelopech underground mine and Ada Tepe processing facilities to support training and development of key personnel for future operating roles.

In November 2025, a key permitting milestone was achieved with the approval to initiate the Special Purpose Spatial Plan process. Permitting activities continue, with a detailed permitting timeline focused on supporting commencement of construction in early 2027. Most baseline studies required for the ESIA

21

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

have been completed. The approval and adoption of the Special Purpose Spatial Plan is expected in the second half of 2026, following which DPM anticipates submitting the exploitation field application in accordance with the Serbian permitting process. The Company continues to proactively engage with relevant authorities and stakeholders to support timely advancement of remaining permits and approvals.

Consistent with its approach across all operations, DPM seeks to build and maintain strong partnerships with local communities and governments. The Company has had a local presence in Serbia since 2004 and has developed strong relationships in the region. Proactive stakeholder engagement continued throughout 2025 and remains a core component of the Company’s approach as the project advances.

Planning for the Čoka Rakita project continues to emphasize responsible environmental management, social development, and the design, operation, and closure of the mine in accordance with industry best practices and applicable Serbian and European Union standards.

In 2025, the Company incurred $38.4 million of growth capital expenditures for the Čoka Rakita project. For 2026, the Company has planned $49 million to $53 million of growth capital expenditures primarily related to pre-construction activities, including detailed engineering, environmental and permitting activities, early works, and operational readiness planning. Subject to permitting progress and schedule acceleration, approximately $42 million of pre-committed initial capital for the project was also included in the 2026 detailed guidance related to early contractor engagement and procurement activities in advance of a formal construction decision, which is expected in early 2027.

See the “NI 43-101 Technical Report Čoka Rakita Project Feasibility Study, Eastern Serbia” dated January 9, 2026, for additional information, which has been posted on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Loma Larga Project

The environmental licence for the Loma Larga project was issued during the second quarter of 2025. This was the result of a rigorous process by the government of Ecuador to ensure high Ecuadorian standards are applied in the development of Loma Larga. DPM is confident that the environmental management plan and robust environment protection measures in place for Loma Larga are in compliance with those standards and reflect DPM’s proven development practices and adoption of international standards and best practices which meet or exceed national standards.

In October 2025, the Company received notification from the Ministry of Environment and Energy that it revoked the environmental licence. DPM is considering all its options to preserve value and optionality for shareholders, including evaluation of all legal avenues.

In 2025, the Company incurred $14.7 million for the Loma Larga project in Ecuador. In 2026, DPM continues to minimize spending at the Loma Larga project, at approximately $5 million, until the issue with the environmental licence is resolved.

EXPLORATION

Rakita Camp, Serbia

During the fourth quarter, DPM published an Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Dumitru Potok, Frasen and Rakita North prospects. The prospects are located on the Čoka Rakita and the Potaj Čuka exploration license, and are within one kilometre of the Čoka Rakita project. The total Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate, effective as of October 23, 2025, comprises 2.6 million ounces of gold and 1.9 billion pounds of copper contained within 84.4 million tonnes grading 0.97 g/t gold and 1.02% copper, and

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

22

assumes an underground mining scenario. The Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate demonstrates the Rakita camp’s potential as a district-scale gold-copper system. Each of Dumitru Potok, Rakita North and Frasen remain opens in multiple directions and sits alongside several high-potential targets along a sixkilometre trend.

When viewed separately, the Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource represents a significant higher-grade core totalling 64.1 Mt grading 1.07 g/t gold for 2.2 million ounces of contained gold and 1.08% copper for 1.5 billion pounds of contained copper. The Rakita North Inferred Mineral Resource totals 17.9 million tonnes grading 0.56 g/t gold for 0.3 million ounces of contained gold and 0.84% copper for 0.3 billion pounds of contained copper. The Frasen Inferred Mineral Resource totals 2.4 million tonnes grading 1.21 g/t gold for 95 thousand ounces of contained gold and 0.70% copper for 37 million pounds of contained copper.

Drilling is currently paused on the Čoka Rakita licence pending the normal course renewal of permits and is anticipated to recommence in the second quarter of 2026. Field work focused on the Potaj Čuka and Pešter Jug exploration licences, including scout drilling campaigns at the Valja Saka prospect and other Potaj Čuka targets, with 13,674 metres of drilling completed during the fourth quarter of 2025 and 60,528 metres year-to-date.

On the Potaj Čuka licence, the main focus was the Valja Saka prospect, which has been prioritized for further exploration. During the fourth quarter, the drilling campaign continued with six drill rigs to test higher-grade mineralization. Drilling also encountered different mineralization styles and confirmed the interpreted structural architecture. At other Potaj Čuka targets, individual gold grades were intersected along with alteration styles that represent an excellent vector toward potentially mineralized zones, which will support the design of a follow-up program.

In 2025, the Company incurred $36.1 million for Rakita camp exploration activities. In 2026, the Company has planned a total of $25 million to $30 million, primarily focused on Čoka Rakita and Potaj Čuka licences.

For additional information regarding exploration activities in Serbia, see the technical report entitled “Technical Report – Mineral Resource Estimate for Dumitru Potok, Frasen and Rakita North Prospects, Eastern Serbia” dated January 16, 2026, available on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Chelopech In-Mine and Brownfield Exploration

DPM remains committed to extending the life of the Chelopech mine through its focused in-mine exploration program targeting resource development. During 2025, the Company completed 44,464 metres of drilling with 14,798 meters dedicated to extensional drilling. The program aimed to expand the existing mineralization, improve ore boundary definition, and increase confidence in the Mineral Resource Estimate.

During the fourth quarter of 2025, a total of 11,048 meters were drilled, focused on extensional drilling on the higher levels of Blocks 150 and 151. This initiative aims to explore the western (150) and northern (151) areas of these blocks and identify new mineralization. Drilling expanded the silica envelope alteration zone. This including significant intersections above 2 g/t AuEq. Exploration drilling in deeper parts of Block 153, aimed at extending the orebody in areas with less geological information, was completed. Results returned sporadic narrow intervals with occasionally high grades values.

In 2025, the Company incurred $2.5 million for Chelopech mineral resource development. In 2026, the Company has planned a total of $4 million to $5 million for Chelopech in-mine exploration activities, which is included in the 2026 guidance for the growth capital expenditures, primarily focused on extensional drilling in the upper levels of the mine.

23

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

In November 2025, DPM announced the discovery of new high-grade mineralization at the WZD target, which is located within the northern flank of the Chelopech mine concession and approximately 300 metres below existing Mineral Reserves and current mine infrastructure. This significant discovery, which was made in a relatively underexplored and deep area of the mine concession demonstrates that the level of the WZD target is highly prospective, and that the hydrothermal system has potential for additional discoveries at this depth. Given the significance of the WZD target, DPM has planned an additional 10,000 metres of drilling, which is expected to be completed within the first quarter of 2026. DPM intends to provide an update on results from drilling in the second quarter of 2026.

Brownfield exploration continued within the Chelopech mine concession and Brevene exploration licence during the fourth quarter of 2025 with a total of 12,587 metres of exploration and target delineation drilling across eight active diamond drill rigs.

The Company continues to advance the process of converting the Brevene exploration licence to a Commercial Discovery, the next phase of work towards converting the licence to a mining concession under the Bulgarian permitting process. Surface drilling continues sequentially, following receipt of drilling permits, with six drill rigs focused on assessing the mineral resource potential in the Vozdol area and prioritized targets within the exploration licence.

In 2025, the Company incurred $10.8 million for Chelopech brownfield exploration activities. In 2026, the Company has planned a total of $16 million to $17 million for Chelopech brownfield exploration activities, primarily focused on testing near-mine targets on the Chelopech mine concession.

Ada Tepe Brownfield Exploration

During the fourth quarter of 2025, exploration activities at the Ada Tepe camp were focused on scout drilling and target delineation campaign at the Krumovitsa exploration licence, resulting in the completion of 2,465 metres of drilling. In addition, the team advanced in regional reconnaissance program, including digitalization of all existing state data for expected exploration ground.

In 2025, the Company incurred $3.3 million for Ada Tepe exploration activities. In 2026, the Company has planned a total of $2 million to $3 million for Ada Tepe exploration activities, including scout drilling of newly developed targets on the Krumovitsa license, as well as regional prospecting work.

Bosnia Exploration

During the fourth quarter of 2025, exploration activities at Vareš focused on the Seliste and Brezik West prospects, which are located on the Veovaca-Orti-Seliste-Mekuse and Droskovac-Brezik exploration licences, respectively, approximately 10 kilometres to the southeast of the Rupice mine and along the same geological trend. Work undertaken included drilling, mapping, soil/rock sampling and threedimensional modelling. A total of 968 metres were drilled with two diamond rigs. Nine scout holes from Seliste returned positive results, supporting planned infill and extensional drilling in 2026.

Metallurgical testwork on selected core (inaugural siderite-hosted Ag-base metal study) from Droskovac and QEMSCAN is underway.

During the quarter, detailed mapping and rock-chip sampling completed south/east of Rupice Mine (Jurasevac/Medujak, Borovica, haul road).

Infill soil sampling was conducted at Rupice West and Borovica, with results confirming the previously outlined anomaly. Results from Borovica are pending.

Re-logging and sample of Jurasevac totalled 2,485 metres from 12 holes re-logged, representing 64% of the planned 3,906 metres.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

24

In 2025, the Company incurred $2.2 million for Vareš exploration activities. In 2026, the Company has planned a total of $10 million to $11 million in expenditures for Vareš brownfield exploration, and $1 million to $2 million for Bosnia greenfield exploration. This will include testing the extension of mineralization to the east and at depth, as well as scout drilling of newly outlined geophysical targets along the same mineralization trend and to the south of the known orebody.

Ecuador Exploration

At the Tierras Coloradas licence, target delineation work continued to progress with systematic ground magnetic and radiometric survey being completed. Two porphyry/epithermal targets indicated and proposals for drilling finalized.

In 2025, the Company incurred $5.5 million for exploration activities at Tierras Coloradas. The Company has planned between $6 million and $7 million in 2026 to progress regional targets at Tierras Coloradas.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

At Chelopech, revenue in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher realized metal prices and higher volumes of gold sold.

At Ada Tepe, revenue in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher realized gold prices, partially offset by lower volumes of gold sold.

At Vareš, revenue of 2025 reflected post-acquisition, pre-commercial production revenue for the period between September 3 and December 31, 2025.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to Vareš operating costs and the non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories recognized in cost of sales at Vareš following the acquisition of Adriatic, higher depreciation expense, higher labour cost, a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar and higher royalties reflecting higher metal prices.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were higher than 2024 due primarily to mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses reflecting DPM’s strong share price performance.

Share-based compensation expense included in general and administrative expenses in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was $28.4 million and $59.7 million, respectively, compared to $0.9 million and $13.9 million in 2024.

Exploration and evaluation expenses

Exploration and evaluation expenses in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased compared to 2024 due primarily to inclusion of exploration activities at Vareš following acquisition and increased exploration activities focused on the Čoka Rakita, Potaj Čuka and Tulare licences at Serbia, as well as on the Brevene licence and the near-mine targets at Chelopech, partially offset by costs related to the Čoka Rakita project being capitalized from 2025 as a result of the project’s advancement to the FS stage. Exploration and evaluation expenses in 2025 decreased compared to 2024 due primarily to costs related to the Čoka Rakita project being capitalized from 2025.

For a more detailed discussion on the Company’s exploration activities, refer to the “Exploration” section of this MD&A.

Finance costs

Finance costs are comprised of interest and other deemed financing costs in respect of the Company’s debt facilities, lease obligations and rehabilitation provisions.

Finance costs in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were higher than 2024 due primarily to accrued interest related to the two debt facilities assumed from Adriatic. These debts, together with the accrued interest, have been fully repaid as at December 31, 2025.

Interest income

Interest income earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalent in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was lower than 2024 due primarily to lower cash balances, combined with lower average interest rates in 2025.

(1) Represents a one-time levy to the 2025 Bulgarian state budget in respect of both the Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines.

(2) Primarily related to the revaluation of foreign denominated monetary assets and liabilities.

On March 21, 2025, the Bulgarian parliament passed the State Budget Act for 2025, requiring all mine operators holding concessions for the extraction of underground resources under the Underground Resources Act to pay an additional levy to the state in an amount equal to their total royalties for 2024. This levy has been fully paid as at December 31, 2025 and the payment will be deductible for the purposes of calculating corporate income taxes in Bulgaria.

Income tax expense

The effective tax rate of the Company can vary significantly from one period to the next based on a number of factors. For the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate was impacted primarily by the Company’s overall earnings, mix of foreign earnings or losses, which are subject to lower tax rates in certain jurisdictions, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits relating to corporate operating and exploration and evaluation costs.

Net earnings from continuing operations

Net earnings from continuing operations in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased compared to 2024, due primarily to higher revenue, partially offset by higher cost of sales, higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses and the fair value loss on copper stream liability. Net earnings from continuing operations in 2025 increased compared to 2024, due primarily to the same factors affecting the quarter, partially offset by the 2025 Bulgarian levy of $24.4 million and the Adriatic acquisition related costs of $15.4 million.

Adjusted net earnings from continuing operations

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On August 30, 2024, DPM closed its previously announced sale of the Tsumeb smelter to a subsidiary of Sinomine Resource Group Co. Ltd. (“Sinomine”) for cash consideration of $20.0 million, on a debt-free and cash-free basis. Net cash consideration received included $5.0 million held in escrow at closing to secure against certain indemnity obligations for a period up to six months. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the $5.0 million restricted cash was released from other current assets to cash and cash equivalents.

As part of the Tsumeb Disposition, DPM entered into a tolling arrangement with Tsumeb (the “DPM Tolling Agreement”) for a period of four months following the closing of the sale. On December 31, 2024, the DPM Tolling Agreement was concluded and as a result, Sinomine bought back all inventories, including unprocessed concentrates and contractual secondary materials owed by the smelter to DPM. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received a net of $167.9 million in cash in respect of the DPM Tolling Agreement. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a net receivable of $21.6 million, reflecting primarily the mark-to-market adjustments on provisionally priced unprocessed third-party materials.

MARKET REVIEW

Commodity prices

Commodity prices are the principal determinants of the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The following table summarizes the average trading prices for gold and copper based on the London Bullion Market Association (“LBMA”) for gold and the London Metal Exchange (“LME”) for copper (Grade A) for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and highlights the overall year over year change in commodity prices:

The Company’s average realized gold price for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 of $4,323 and $3,632 per ounce, respectively, was 62% and 49% higher than 2024, reflecting year over year changes in market prices. The average realized copper price for the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 of $5.15 and $4.64 per pound, respectively, was 32% and 12% higher than 2024, also reflecting year over year changes in market prices.

Gold price can be volatile over short periods of time and are influenced by a range of industry and macroeconomic factors that are beyond the Company’s control, including, but not limited to, global supply and demand dynamics, the level and direction of interest rates and real yields, inflation and inflation expectations, currency movements (including the relative strength of the U.S. dollar), macroeconomic data and market volatility, as well as central bank activity and investor behaviours. These diverse factors can counterbalance one another and provide gold with its uniquely stable performance at times. The average price of gold increased by 44% during 2025 and reached a record daily close price of $5,501 per ounce in January 2026. Price performance during the year reflected market expectations on the path of monetary policy in major economies and its implication on real yields, the potential impact on inflation and economic activity from the threat of tariffs and trade policy risks. Gold prices were also supported at times by a weaker U.S. dollar, periods of heightened geopolitical risk, and ongoing demand from investors and central banks. Conversely, periods of improved risk appetite reduced safe-haven demand and weighed on gold prices.

Overall, our view is that the demand for gold, central bank reserves accumulation, geopolitical uncertainty, and the desire to hold gold as a hedge against inflation and rising levels of global debt, all help drive the price of gold in the near-term.

Following the acquisition of Vareš, silver is expected to contribute a significant portion to the Company’s precious metals production going forward. Silver prices generally reflect both precious metal and industrial demand characteristics. Alongside macro drivers similar to gold, silver is also influenced by industrial end-use expectations, including electronics, and energy-transition-related demand, while supply-side developments and inventory trends can also contribute to volatility. Silver prices increased by nearly 150% during 2025, and reached a record closing price of $118.45 per ounce in January 2026. This was primarily due to increasing demand and tight global supply and macroeconomic backdrop that was favourable to silver prices.

29

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Overall our view is that silver prices in 2026 are expected to remain supported by continued physical market tightness and resilient industrial demand, although price performance may remain volatile and sensitive to changes in U.S. interest-rate expectations, the U.S. dollar, and investor risk sentiment.

Copper prices are closely linked to global economic activity due to its widespread applications in many sectors of the economy, such as power generation and transmission, construction, transportation, factory equipment and electronics. Copper prices increased by an average of 9% in 2025, reaching a record high of $6.28/lb in January 2026. Price performance during the year was supported by a tightening supply backdrop and resilient demand, including improved sentiment toward China as monetary policy easing measures were introduced. Copper market conditions were also influenced by the longer-term structural demand narrative associated with electrification and renewable energy investment, as well as growing power infrastructure requirements related to artificial intelligence and data centre development. At the same time, near-term pricing remained sensitive to cyclical indicators, particularly manufacturing activity and construction demand.

Over the long run, copper supply-demand fundamentals remain supportive, reflecting expected structural growth in demand for electrification, alongside the potential for constrained supply growth. Near-term copper prices, however, may continue to exhibit volatility and respond to changes in macroeconomic conditions, China demand indicators, inventory levels and supply disruptions.

The Company is subject to price risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices for metals. The Company regularly enters into cash settled commodity swap contracts from time to time to swap future contracted monthly average metal prices for fixed metal prices to eliminate or substantially reduce the metal price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of concentrate sales. The Company sells and hedges gold and copper contained in concentrates produced at prices that are effectively determined by reference to the traded prices on major commodity exchanges, including the LME and the LBMA. The Company currently has no hedges in place for its expected payable copper to be sold in 2026.

Foreign exchange rates

As an entity reporting in U.S. dollars with operations in several countries, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currencies including the Bulgarian lev and the Bosnia and Herzegovina Convertible Mark (“BAM”), both of which are pegged to the Euro, as well as the Canadian dollar (“Cdn$”), can also impact the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

The following table sets out the average foreign exchange rates for the principal currencies impacting the Company and highlights the overall year over year strengthening (weakening) of the U.S. dollar relative to these currencies.

In 2025, the U.S. dollar depreciated in general primarily due to changes in relative interest-rate expectations, alongside shifts in global growth expectations and risk appetite that supported increased allocation to non-U.S. assets.

The U.S. dollar appreciated approximately 2% against the Canadian dollar in 2025 and ranged from $1.3558 to $1.4603 during the year. This was primarily due to by changes in market expectations for the policy-rate paths of the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Federal Reserve, which influenced relative shortterm yield differentials and uncertainty regarding the potential impact of U.S. tariffs on the Canadian economic outlook. These factors were partially offset by periods of support for the Canadian dollar from

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

the commodity backdrop, including energy prices, which can improve Canada’s terms of trade. These factors will likely continue to be significant drivers in 2026.

The U.S. dollar depreciated against the Euro over the course of 2025 and ranged from 1.0198 to 1.1837 during during the year. This was primarily due to divergent monetary policy with the European Central Bank rate cutting cycle easing off in the second half of the year on resilience of the Euro zone economy, and prospects for stronger economic growth with various European Union (“EU”) members announcing more expansionary fiscal policy on increasing military and infrastructure spending. Uncertainty from the impact of trade barriers and tariffs and overall health of the U.S. economy also impacted the U.S. dollar negatively. Heading into 2026, we may see continued strength for the Euro against the U.S. dollar in particular with the U.S. Federal Reserve expected to continue its rate cutting cycle and improving European growth prospects.

Fluctuations in these exchange rates increase the volatility of the Company’s cost measures reported in the U.S. dollars. The Company periodically undertakes to purchase, in advance, a portion of its foreign denominated cash flow requirements on a spot or forward basis to reduce this exposure. The Company also periodically enters into foreign exchange option contracts in order to reduce the foreign exchange exposure associated with projected operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in foreign currencies. The Company currently has no Euro or Canadian dollar hedges in place.

Energy costs

Energy costs are one of the largest costs to the Company’s producing mines, representing approximately 10% of its total mine cash cost at an average annual consumption rate of approximately 190,000 megawatt hours (“MWh”). The fluctuation in energy costs can also impact the Company’s key cost measures and results of operations. Energy prices fluctuate due to various factors, including changes in energy production costs, government policies, and market demand.

The Company’s Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines are located in Bulgaria, while the Vareš mine is in Bosnia and Herzegovina, all in Eastern Europe. Bulgaria and Bosnia and Herzegovina are both considered net exporters of power, and none of the operations is currently reliant on Russia for their power needs. Specifically in Bulgaria, the Company’s exposures to the volatile energy prices were mitigated by the Bulgarian government power subsidies starting from July 2024 through to the end of March 2025. The power subsidies were applicable to both residential and commercial business operations to mitigate increases in electricity prices. In 2025, the Company paid an average of Bulgarian lev 224 per MWh ($130 per MWh), net of the government power subsidy, which was based on progressive measures enacted through the year when the six months average power price is above Bulgarian lev 240. This was higher than in 2024, when the Company paid an average of Bulgarian lev 190 per MWh ($97 per MWh), net of the government power subsidy due to the subsidy being received over a longer period. The government power subsidies remain in place through to at least the end of June 2026 and could potentially be extended beyond in response to the volatility in the market energy prices. In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Company paid an average of Euro 107 per MWh ($124 per MWh) in 2025.

Fuel costs

Fuel and diesel are significant inputs for the Company both directly through consumption by the mobile fleet and indirectly through transportation and the cost of key operating inputs such as grinding media, reagents and certain spare parts, which incorporate fuel and energy costs throughout their supply chains. In aggregate, approximately 25% to 30% of the Company’s mine cash costs are directly or indirectly exposed to movements in fuel price. Fuel prices are influenced by crude oil benchmarks (including Brent), and sustained increases or decreases in crude oil prices may therefore impact the Company’s cost measures and results from operations.

Crude oil prices typically fluctuate in response to global supply-demand balances, including policy decisions made by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC+”), non-OPEC

31

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

production growth, inventory levels, seasonal demand patterns, and geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions. Brent Crude, averaged approximately $68 per barrel in 2025 compared to $83 per barrel in 2024, a decrease of approximately 18%. The decline was primarily due to global supply growth outpacing consumption growth, particularly in the second half of 2025 and management expects this to remain a key driver of oil prices into 2026.

The Company does not have any oil hedges in place.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As at December 31, 2025, the Company held $497.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $400.0 million of undrawn capacity under its New RCF.

The Company’s liquidity is impacted by several factors which include, but are not limited to, gold and copper market prices, production levels, capital expenditures, operating cash costs, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. These factors are monitored by the Company on a regular basis.

The Company’s cash resources and available capital under its RCF continue to provide sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet its current operating and capital expenditure requirements, all contractual commitments, as well as a number of margin improvement and growth-related expenditures. The Company may, from time to time, raise additional capital or amend its RCF to ensure it maintains its financial strength and has sufficient liquidity to support the funding requirements associated with one or more of its growth capital projects and the overall needs of the business.

Capital Allocation

As part of its strategy, the Company adheres to a disciplined capital allocation framework that guides decision making for the most effective way to deploy capital. The framework is based on three fundamental considerations:

  • Balance sheet strength: maintain a strategic cash position, which, together with forecasted free cash flow, is available to fund organic growth of the Company’s existing project pipeline and pursue disciplined strategic transactions.

  • Reinvestment in the business: to grow value and long-term sustainability of the business. This includes capital to optimize and extend the life of existing assets, and fund the Company’s operating and sustaining capital expenditures.

  • Return of excess capital to shareholders: through a mix of dividends and share repurchases under an NCIB, the Company maintains a level of capital returns that it considers to be sustainable.

These alternatives are not mutually exclusive, nor are they exhaustive, and are assessed in a balanced manner with a view to maximizing total shareholder returns over the long-term. The Company continually reviews its capital allocation strategy of balancing these three fundamental considerations.

Declaration of dividend

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company declared quarterly dividends of $0.04 (2024 – $0.04) per common share to its shareholders of record resulting in total dividend distributions of $31.2 million (2024 – $28.7 million) recognized against its retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. The Company paid an aggregate of $29.4 million (2024 – $28.9 million) of dividends which were included in cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and recognized a dividend payable of $8.9 million (December 31, 2024 – $7.1 million) in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2025.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

32

On February 10, 2026, the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per common share payable on April 15, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 31, 2026.

The declaration, amount and timing of any future dividend are at the sole discretion of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) and will be assessed based on the Company’s capital allocation framework, having regard for the Company’s financial position, overall market conditions, and its outlook for sustainable free cash flow, capital requirements, and other factors considered relevant by the Board of Directors.

Share repurchases under the NCIB

The Company renewed its NCIB effective March 18, 2025, pursuant to which the Company is able to purchase up to 15 million common shares representing approximately 9.8% of the public float as at March 4, 2025, over a period of twelve months commencing March 18, 2025 and terminating on March 17, 2026. In accordance with the TSX rules, the Company will not acquire on any given trading day more than 103,112 common shares, representing 25% of the average daily volume of common shares for the most recently completed six-month period, other than block purchase exceptions. The price that the Company will pay for common shares in open market transactions will be the market price at the time of purchase and any common shares that are purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company purchased a total of 9,969,571 (2024 – 5,709,458) shares, all of which were cancelled as at December 31, 2025. The Company also cancelled an additional 12,000 shares that were purchased in 2024, resulting in a total of 9,981,571 shares being cancelled during the year ended December 31, 2025. The total cost of these purchases was $116.1 million (2024 – $50.9 million), at an average price per share of $11.65 (Cdn$16.58) (2024 – $8.76 (Cdn$12.13)), of which $30.9 million (2024 – $17.7 million) was recognized as a reduction in share capital, and $85.2 million (2024 – $33.2 million) as a reduction in retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity. Cash payments for share repurchases of $116.1 million (2024 – $49.9 million) were included in cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company’s Board of Directors has approved the renewal of the NCIB (the “New Bid”) and the Company expects to seek approval from the TSX for the New Bid in due course during the first quarter of 2026. If accepted, the New Bid will be made in accordance with the applicable rules and policies of the TSX and applicable Canadian securities laws. The Company expects to be able to purchase up to 5% of its issued and outstanding common shares over a period of twelve months under the New Bid.

The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized management to repurchase up to $200 million of the Company’s shares under the New Bid.

The actual timing and number of common shares that may be purchased under the NCIB will be undertaken in accordance with DPM’s capital allocation framework, having regard for such things as DPM’s financial position, business outlook and ongoing capital requirements, as well as its share price relative to market peers and intrinsic value and overall market conditions.

(7) Includes repayment of Adriatic debts of $136.3 million during 2025, following the acquisition of Adriatic on September 3, 2025.

The primary factors impacting period over period cash flows are summarized below.

Operating activities

Cash provided from operating activities of continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024 due primarily to higher earnings generated in the periods and the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash, partially offset by the timing of payments to suppliers, the payments of the 2025 Bulgarian levy and higher income taxes paid.

Free cash flow from continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 was higher than 2024, respectively, due primarily to higher adjusted net earnings generated in the periods, partially offset by the payments of the 2025 Bulgarian levy. Free cash flow is calculated before changes in working capital.

Cash outlays for capital expenditures from continuing operations in the fourth quarter and full year of 2025 were higher than 2024 due primarily to higher growth capital expenditures related to Vareš, which is currently in a pre-commercial production phase, as well as the Čoka Rakita project.

Other factors impacting investing activities are summarized below:

  • Cash consideration to acquire Adriatic of $399.2 million, net of cash acquired, in the third quarter of 2025;

  • Release of restricted cash of $464.9 million pursuant to the agreement to acquire Adriatic in the third quarter of 2025;

  • Release of restricted cash of $5.0 million in respect of the Tsumeb Disposition in the first quarter of 2025;

  • Cash proceeds of $17.8 million from disposition of all Osino shares DPM held in the third quarter of 2024;

  • Cash proceeds of $15.9 million from Tsumeb disposition in the third quarter of 2024, of which $5.0 million was held in escrow and recognized as restricted cash; and

  • Cash payment of $3.7 million from the purchase of Osino shares in the first quarter of 2024.

Financing activities

Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations in the the fourth quarter of 2025 was lower than 2024, due primarily to no payments for shares repurchased under the NCIB compared to $22.1 million in 2024. Cash used in financing activities of continuing operations in 2025 was higher than 2024, due primarily to the repayment of Adriatic debt immediately after the closing of the acquisition, and payments for shares repurchased under the NCIB.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $137.0 million in 2025 due primarily to cash consideration paid for the acquisition of Adriatic, the repayment of Adriatic debt immediately after the closing of the acquisition, payments for shares repurchased under the NCIB, cash outlays for capital expenditures, dividends paid and income taxes paid, partially offset by earnings generated in the period, a net cash inflow of $160.5 million related to the DPM Tolling Agreement, and cash interest received. Accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets decreased by $54.5 million in 2025 due primarily to the cash receipts under the DPM Tolling Agreement, as well as timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash for the mining operations, partially offset by the Vareš current assets acquired from Adriatic. Noncurrent assets increased by $1,851.7 million in 2025 due primarily to the Vareš mine properties and property, plant and equipment acquired from Adriatic.

35

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Current liabilities increased by $142.4 million in 2025 due primarily to higher accounts payable and accrued liabilities related to the timing of payments to suppliers, the reclassification of certain Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) from non-current to current liabilities, higher mark-to-market adjustments to RSUs and PSUs expected to be redeemed in 2026, as well as the Vareš current liabilities, comprised primarily of accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Non-current liabilities increased by $232.5 million in 2025 due primarily to increase in share-based compensation liabilities as a result of the increase in DPM’s share price, as well as the Vareš liabilities, comprised primarily of a copper stream liability and rehabilitation provision, plus a deferred tax liability recognized as a result of the acquisition of Adriatic, partially offset by the reclassification of certain DSUs from non-current to current liabilities. Total equity increased by $1,285.3 million in 2025 due primarily to shares issued for the acquisition of Adriatic and the current period earnings, partially offset by the return of capital through share repurchases and dividend distributions.

Debt and Available Credit Facilities

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had no debt.

The Company has a number of credit facilities that can be accessed by DPM or its subsidiaries, including DPM’s committed revolving credit facility of $150.0 million with a consortium of four banks that matures in July 2026. Pursuant to an accordion feature, this facility can be increased to $250.0 million, subject to certain conditions. The cost of borrowing is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a spread, which is currently 2.25%, and can range between 2.25% and 3.50% depending upon DPM’s leverage. As at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, DPM was in compliance with all financial covenants and $nil was drawn under the RCF.

In February 2026, DPM replaced the RCF with a new committed revolving credit facility (the “New RCF”) with a consortium of five banks that matures in February 2030. Overall, this facility contains more favourable terms and conditions than the current RCF, providing added flexibility, a four-year extended term, and lower pricing. The facility is secured by pledges of DPM’s investments in Ada Tepe, Chelopech, Čoka Rakita and Loma Larga projects and by guarantees from certain subsidiaries that hold these assets. Initially, DPM is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which can be increased pursuant to an accordion feature that permits, subject to certain conditions, the facility to be increased to $550.0 million. The cost of borrowing is based on the SOFR, plus a spread, which is currently 2.00%, and can range between 2.00% and 3.25% depending upon DPM’s leverage. The New RCF contains financial covenants that require DPM to maintain: (i) a Debt Leverage Ratio below 3.75:1, and (ii) a minimum net worth equal to $1,600 million plus (minus) 50% of ongoing net earnings (loss) plus 50% of all equity raised by DPM, in each case, after December 31, 2025, as defined under the New RCF.

Chelopech and Ada Tepe have a $15.0 million multi-purpose credit facility that matures on November 30, 2026 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $9.6 million (December 31, 2024 – $15.8 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of credit and letters of guarantee, primarily in respect of concession contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy.

Chelopech and Ada Tepe also have a Euro 38.0 million ($44.6 million) credit facility to support mine closure and rehabilitation obligations in respect of concession contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy. This credit facility matures on November 30, 2025 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $30.3 million (December 31, 2024 – $21.8 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of guarantee.

Ada Tepe also has a $10.3 million multi-purpose credit facility that matures on November 30, 2026 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $10.2 million (December 31, 2024 – $5.0 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of credit and letters of guarantee, primarily in respect of exploration contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy.

Advances under these facilities at Chelopech and Ada Tepe bear interest at a rate equal to the one month SOFR plus 2.5%. The letters of credit and guarantee bear a fee of 0.6% based on the amounts issued.

For a more detailed description of the accounting policies and the nature of the gains or losses on these financial instruments, see note 7, Financial Instruments , to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Commodity Swap Contracts

The Company is subject to price risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices for metals. The Company regularly enters into commodity swap contracts from time to time to swap future contracted monthly average metal prices for fixed metal prices to eliminate or substantially reduce the metal price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of concentrate sales.

The Company designates the spot component of commodity swap contracts as fair value hedges. The fair value gain or loss on commodity swap contracts is calculated based on the corresponding LME forward copper prices and New York Commodity Exchange forward gold prices, as applicable.

As at December 31, 2025, the impact of a 5% increase or decrease in metal prices impacting the Company’s accounts receivable and outstanding commodity swap contracts, with all other variables held constant, would decrease or increase earnings before income taxes from continuing operations by $0.1 million (2024 – $1.9 million) and would decrease or increase equity by $0.1 million (2024 – $1.7 million).

Copper Stream

As part of the Adriatic acquisition, the Company assumed a copper stream agreement originally entered into between Adriatic and Gold Royalty Corp. (“Gold Royalty”). Under the assumed terms of this agreement, the Company is required to deliver, on a monthly basis, copper warrants purchased on the LME, with the volume equivalent to 24.5% of the contained copper in concentrates produced at the Vareš mine. The value of the copper warrants is determined based on the official LME copper cash price at the time of delivery. In exchange, Gold Royalty is required to make a cash payment equal to 30% of the value of each copper warrant delivered. The remaining 70% of the warrant value is applied as a repayment against a $22.5 million prepayment originally provided by Gold Royalty to Adriatic. The agreement will remain in effect for the life of the Vareš mine, unless terminated earlier upon mutual consent of the parties or in the event of default.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

38

The Company’s obligation under the copper stream agreement is accounted for as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on expected future copper production, forecast LME copper prices, and a discount rate reflecting the Company's credit-adjusted risk profile. The fair value can be sensitive to changes in forecast copper production in the life of mine plan, forecast copper prices and discount rates.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company has not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Other factors impacting the Company’s quarter over quarter and year over year results from continuing operations include:

  • Non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories recognized in cost of sales of $25.5 million in Q3 2025 and $5.0 million in Q4 2025, since first-time inclusion of financial results from Vareš, following the acquisition of Adriatic on September 3, 2025;

  • A one-time levy to the 2025 Bulgarian state budget of $24.4 million in Q1 2025;

  • Transaction costs related to the Adriatic acquisition of $5.1 million in Q2 2025 and $10.3 million in Q3 2025;

  • Tax adjustments not related to current period earnings at Ada Tepe of $4.1 million in Q4 2024; and

  • Net termination fee received from Osino of $6.9 million in Q1 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods reported. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

The significant areas of estimation and uncertainty considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, the assessment of technical and operational feasibility and the determination of an identified Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve’s commercial viability.

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is probable that future economic benefits will be generated from the exploitation of an exploration and evaluation asset when activities have not yet reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of the existence of Mineral Reserves can be determined. The estimation of Mineral Resources is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates regarding economic and geological data and these assumptions and estimates impact the decision to either expense or capitalize exploration and evaluation expenditures. Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events and circumstances in order to determine if an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any revision to any of these assumptions and estimates could result in the impairment of the capitalized exploration and evaluation costs. If new information becomes available after expenditures have been capitalized that the recovery of these expenditures is no longer probable, the expenditures capitalized are written down to the recoverable amount and charged to net earnings (loss) in the period the new information becomes available.

Mine properties

Commencement of commercial production

All expenditures undertaken in the development, construction, installation and/or completion of mine production facilities are capitalized and initially classified as “Mines under construction”. Upon the commencement of commercial production, all related assets included in “Mines under construction” are reclassified to “Mine Properties – Producing mines” or “Property, plant and equipment”.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

42

Determination of commencement of commercial production is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates. The commencement of commercial production is defined as the date when the mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company considers primarily the following factors, among others, when determining the commencement of commercial production:

  • All major capital expenditures to achieve a consistent level of production and desired capacity have been incurred;

  • A reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment has been completed;

  • A predetermined percentage of design capacity of the mine and mill has been reached; and

  • Required production levels, grades and recoveries have been achieved.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates

The estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as defined under NI 43-101, is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates. The Company prepares its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates based on information related to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body which is compiled by appropriately qualified persons. Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are based upon factors such as metal prices, capital requirements, production costs, foreign exchange rates, geotechnical and geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, together with forecast production, determine the life of mine estimates and therefore changes in the Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates may impact the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, mine properties, property, plant and equipment, depletion and depreciation charges, rehabilitation provisions and deferred income tax assets.

Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the carrying values of mine properties, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are assessed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment or reversal of previously recognized impairment exist. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use based on discounted cash flows. This is determined on an asset-by-asset basis, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, individual assets are grouped together into a Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) for impairment purposes. Such CGUs represent the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Management has assessed the Company’s CGUs as being an individual operating site.

The assessment of impairment is based on a number of external and internal factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control, and requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to these factors for each CGU. External factors include market considerations ranging from overall economic activity and the supply of and demand for the materials used in and products produced by the Company to changes in commodity prices, toll rates, discount rates, foreign exchange rates and regulatory requirements. Internal factors include considerations such as production volume, ability to convert resources into reserves, capital and operating expenditures, and future development and expansion plans.

43

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

These significant estimates and assumptions, some of which may be subjective, require that management make decisions based on the best available information at each reporting period. It is possible that the actual recoverable amount could be significantly different than those estimates. A significant decline in the asset’s market value, reductions in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future capital costs, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential, and/or adverse market conditions can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets. Judgment is also required when considering whether significant changes in any of these items indicate a previous impairment may have reversed.

Rehabilitation provisions

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes a liability for its rehabilitation obligations in the period when a legal and/or constructive obligation is identified. The liability is measured at the present value of the estimated costs required to rehabilitate operating locations based on the riskfree nominal discount rates that are specific to the countries in which the operations are located.

The nature of these restoration and rehabilitation activities includes: i) dismantling and removing structures; ii) rehabilitating mines and tailing dams; iii) dismantling operating facilities; iv) closure of plant and waste sites; and v) restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of affected areas.

Significant estimates and assumptions are made by management in determining the nature and costs associated with the rehabilitation liability. The estimates and assumptions required include estimates of the timing, extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technology changes, regulatory changes, and changes in the discount and inflation rates. These uncertainties may result in future expenditures being different from the amounts currently provided.

Changes in the underlying assumptions used to estimate the rehabilitation liability as well as changes to environmental laws and regulations could cause material changes in the expected cost and expected future settlement value.

At as December 31, 2025, the undiscounted future cost for estimated mine closure and rehabilitation costs before inflation was estimated to be $49.4 million. The carrying value of the estimated mine closure and rehabilitation cost was $41.6 million at December 31, 2025 and $25.0 million at December 31, 2024.

Deferred income taxes

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences on the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be generated in future periods to utilize these deductible temporary differences.

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred income tax assets are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. Deferred income tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income in order to utilize the deferred income tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations or other activities and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred income tax assets recorded on the reporting date could be impacted.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

44

Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could impact tax deductions in future periods and the value of its deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Certain financial measures referred to in this MD&A are not measures recognized under IFRS and are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures have no standardized meanings under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The definitions established and calculations performed by DPM are based on management’s reasonable judgment and are consistently applied. These measures are used by management and investors to assist with assessing the Company’s performance, including its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its return objectives and support its investing activities and debt service obligations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, together with other financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, are considered to be important factors that assist investors in assessing the Company’s performance.

Cash cost and all-in sustaining cost measures

Mine cash cost; mine cash cost of sales; and all-in sustaining cost are non-GAAP financial measures. Cash cost per tonne of ore processed; cash cost per ounce of gold sold; all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold sold and all-in sustaining cost per GEO sold are non-GAAP ratios. These measures capture the important components of the Company’s production and related costs. Management and investors utilize these metrics as an important tool to monitor cost performance at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share

Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP ratio used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods.

Adjusted net earnings (loss) are defined as net earnings (loss), adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including:

  • impairment charges or reversals thereof;

  • unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value;

  • significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; and

  • non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.

The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to net earnings from continuing operations:

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company’s operating segments. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following from earnings before income taxes:

  • depreciation and amortization;

  • interest income;

  • finance cost;

  • impairment charges or reversals thereof;

  • unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value; and

  • non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.

Cash provided from operating activities, before changes in working capital

Cash provided from operating activities, before changes in working capital, is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as cash provided from operating activities excluding changes in working capital as set out in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. This measure is used by the Company and investors to measure the cash flow generated by the Company’s operating segments prior to any changes in working capital, which at times can distort performance.

Average realized metal prices

Average realized gold and copper prices are non-GAAP ratios used by management and investors to highlight the price actually realized by the Company relative to the average market price, which can differ due to the timing of sales, hedging and other factors.

Average realized gold and copper prices represent the average per unit price recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings (loss) prior to any deductions for treatment charges, refining charges, penalties, freight and final settlements to adjust for any differences relative to the provisional invoice.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The operating results and financial condition of the Company are subject to a number of inherent risks and uncertainties associated with its business activities, which include the acquisition, exploration, development, financing, construction, commissioning and operation of its mines, mills and concentrate processing facilities. The operating results and financial condition are also subject to numerous external factors, which include economic, social, geopolitical, warfare, environmental, regulatory, health, legal, tax and market risks impacting, among other things, precious metals and copper prices, foreign exchange rates, inflation, the availability and cost of capital to fund the capital requirements of the business and the supply chain related to the business, uncertainty of production and cost estimates and the potential for unexpected costs and expenses, and changes in general economic conditions or conditions in the financial markets. Each of these risks could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s future business, results of operations and financial condition, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in any Forward-Looking Statements contained in this MD&A. The Company endeavours to manage these risks and uncertainties with good governance and in a balanced manner with a view to mitigating risk while maximizing total shareholder returns. The Company continually strives to identify and to effectively manage the risks of each of its business units. This includes developing appropriate risk management strategies, policies and procedures, processes and systems. There can be no assurance that the Company has been or will be successful in identifying all risks or that any riskmitigating strategies adopted to reduce or eliminate risk will be successful.

On September 3, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Adriatic and the Vareš operation. While the Company conducted thorough due diligence in connection with the Transaction, there may be risks and uncertainties that the Company failed, or was unable, to discover in the course thereof. A comprehensive discussion of the risks identified by the Company in connection with the Transaction can be found in the management information circular dated July 11, 2025 (the “Meeting Circular”) under the heading “Risk Factors”. There can be no assurance that any risk-mitigating strategies adopted by the Company to reduce or eliminate such risks identified in connection with the acquisition of Adriatic and the Vareš operation will be successful. The Meeting Circular is available on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Since February 2025, the United States has introduced waves of tariffs targeting strategic imports, particularly from China and other key trading partners including Canada, and has, from time to time, threatened the possibility of implementing additional such tariffs. These actions and uncertainties with respect to possible additional future tariffs have raised concerns over global supply chain disruptions and retaliatory actions. The Company does not expect material impacts from these tariffs and trade actions as all of its revenue from the sale of gold and copper concentrates are generated from customers in China, Europe or Canada, and its cost structure is largely localized, with the majority of expenses from domestic sources such as labour, energy and royalties. The Company will continue to monitor developments related to tariffs and trade actions and will take steps to limit the impact when appropriate.

The following subsections describe some of the more significant business risks and uncertainties affecting the Company. These risks, along with other potential risks not specifically discussed in this MD&A, should be considered when evaluating the Company and its three-year outlook along with the more comprehensive discussion of risks contained in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent AIF. Additional risks not identified below may affect the Company.

Metal Prices

The fluctuation in the price of a metal sold by the Company can significantly impact revenues as well as all-in sustaining cost per ounce of gold and other cost measures that are reported net of by-product credits. Accordingly, the prices of gold and copper are major factors influencing the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition, and, in turn, the price for its common shares.

Metal prices can fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including overall global market conditions; the sale or purchase of gold and silver by various central banks, financial institutions and Exchange Traded Funds; interest rates; foreign exchange rates; inflation or deflation; global and regional supply and demand; and the political and economic conditions of major gold, silver and copper producing and consuming countries throughout the world. If gold and/or copper prices were to decline significantly from current levels, there can be no assurance that cash flow from operations, together with cash on hand and available credit under the Company’s RCF, will be sufficient to meet the Company’s operating and capital requirements, including its contractual commitments and mandatory debt repayments, and the Company could be forced to discontinue production, reassess the feasibility of a particular project, and/or could lose its interest in, or be forced to sell, some of its properties. In addition, a significant commodity price decline could result in significant reductions in Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates, which could have a material adverse impact on the value of one or more of the Company’s cash generating units and result in an impairment of the carrying value of certain assets, including exploration and evaluation assets, mine properties, and property, plant and equipment.

In accordance with established risk management policies approved by our Board of Directors, the Company enters into commodity swap contracts to reduce the metal price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of concentrate sales. The Company sells and hedges gold and copper metal contained in concentrates produced at prices that are effectively determined by reference to the traded prices on major commodity exchanges, including the LME and the LBMA.

Inflation and Global Economic Conditions

The global economy has faced significant instability in recent years, marked by increased inflation and supply chain disruptions. Global economic conditions could further deteriorate, and the economy may contract and enter into a recession. Additionally, future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including geopolitical instability, a rise in the price of oil and other energy costs, natural disasters, and outbreaks of pandemic or epidemic medical issues or other public health emergencies. Any sudden or rapid destabilization of global economic conditions could impact the Company’s ability to obtain equity or debt financing in the future on terms favourable to the Company. Additionally, any such occurrence could cause decreases in asset values that are deemed to be other than temporary, which may result in impairment charges. Further, in such an event, the Company’s operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

In addition to potentially affecting the price of gold, copper and silver, general inflationary pressures may also affect labour, commodity and other input costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and capital expenditures for the development of its projects. The Company has been impacted by these inflationary pressures in the form of higher costs for key inputs required for its operations, most notably higher energy costs. The Company has made assumptions around the expected costs of these key inputs, and the Company’s actual costs in an inflationary environment may differ materially from those assumptions. These inflationary impacts may be felt directly through purchases of diesel and fuel, as well as through higher transportation costs, and indirectly through higher costs of products which rely on energy as an input cost.

International Conflicts and Geopolitical Risks

International events, including war, military action, terrorism, trade disputes, and international responses thereto have historically led to, and may in the future lead to, uncertainty or volatility in global commodity and financial markets, and/or disruptions to supply chains and shipping lanes. World-wide political and economic risks are intensifying, including as a result of armed conflicts, international trade disputes, and other geopolitical tensions, which create significant levels of uncertainty. The effects of ongoing or future conflicts, disputes, and tensions and related international action in response thereto, including the imposition of economic and trade sanctions, cannot be accurately predicted at this time and the effects of such conflict may magnify the impact of the other risks, including those relating to commodity price volatility, international supply chains, and global financial conditions. Volatility in commodity prices, supply chain and shipping lanes disruptions, and weakened global financial conditions may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s Chelopech and Ada Tepe mines are located in Bulgaria, Eastern Europe. Bulgaria does not share a border with either Russia or Ukraine and is part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the EU. The impact of the conflict in Ukraine on the Company has been limited to date to increased costs for energy, fuel and other direct materials, however, further escalation of the conflict, including an outbreak of and/or expansion of hostilities into other countries or regions within Europe, and the international response thereto, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations due to, among other factors, disruption in the Company’s supply chain, increased input costs, and increased risk (or perception of increased risk) in the profile of the Company’s operations in Eastern Europe.

The Company continues to monitor geopolitical events occurring in or affecting the jurisdictions in which it operates and will endeavour to proactively manage their effects on the Company’s business. However, there is no assurance that the Company’s operations will not be adversely affected by current or future geopolitical tensions and conflicts.

Potential Changes in Tax, Tariff, and Royalty Regimes Applicable to the Company and its Business

The Company operates in Canada and several foreign jurisdictions, through a number of subsidiary intermediary entities. As a result, it is subject to potential changes in tax, tariff, and royalty regimes, judicial interpretations in respect thereof, and the administrative and/or assessing practices of governmental authorities in each jurisdiction. While these risks are proactively managed and monitored by senior management and outside experts, there can be no assurance that there will not be changes to these laws or interpretations that could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

While China has recently clarified its regulations regarding VAT and duty on gold concentrates imports, and Chelopech gold concentrates remain exempt, there can be no assurance that there will not be changes to these tax laws, import duties or regulations in the jurisdictions where the Company’s concentrates are sold that could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Foreign Exchange

By virtue of its international operations, the Company incurs costs and expenses in a number of foreign currencies. The revenue from its mining operations received by the Company is denominated in U.S. dollars since the prices of the metals that it produces are referenced in U.S. dollars, while the majority of operating and capital expenditures of its mining operations are denominated in Bulgarian lev and BAM, which are pegged to the Euro, and the Canadian dollar. Fluctuations in these foreign exchange rates give rise to foreign exchange exposures, either favourable or unfavourable, which could have a material impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Fluctuations in the U.S. dollar relative to certain currencies can also have an impact on commodity prices quoted in U.S. dollars, such that a stronger U.S. dollar tends to have a negative impact on U.S. quoted prices while a weaker U.S. dollar tends to have a favourable impact. As a result, this relationship is considered in conjunction with the Company’s risk assessment.

From time to time, the Company enters into foreign exchange option contracts in order to reduce the foreign exchange exposures associated with projected operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.

Operations

Mining operations and related processing and infrastructure facilities are subject to a number of risks, including risks related specifically to the mining and metals industry. Such risks include, without limitation, environmental hazards, industrial accidents, disruptions in the supply of critical materials and supplies, disruptions due to pandemic conditions, delays in obtaining work visas or other authorizations, labour disputes, changes in laws, technical difficulties or failures, equipment failure, failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability, unusual and unexpected geologic formations, seismic activity, rock bursts, cave-ins, flooding and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material. Such risks could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other processing facilities, damage to life or property, environmental damage, delays in mining and processing, delays in scheduled maintenance, losses and possible legal liability. Any prolonged downtime or shutdowns at the Company’s mining and processing facilities could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Success of the Company’s operations also depends on adequate public infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supplies are important determinants which affect capital and operating costs. Natural events, such as seismic events and severe climatic conditions, as well as sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves disclosed by the Company are estimates and no assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the indicated level of recovery will be realized. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, including many factors beyond the Company’s control. Such estimation is a subjective process and the accuracy of any estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Short-term operating factors, such as the need for orderly development of the ore bodies or the processing of new or different ore grades, may cause the mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period. In addition, there can be no assurance that gold, silver or copper recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production.

Fluctuations in gold, silver and copper prices, results of drilling, change in cut-off grades, metallurgical testing, production and the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimates may require revision of such Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates. The volume and grade of Mineral Reserves mined and processed, and the recovery rates achieved may not be the same as currently anticipated. Any material reduction in the estimated Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. A significant decrease in the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates could have a material adverse impact on the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets, mine properties, property, plant and equipment, depletion and depreciation charges, and estimated mine closure and rehabilitation costs, and could result in an impairment of the carrying value.

Need for Mineral Reserves

As mines have limited lives based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, the Company must continually develop, replace and expand its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources as its mines produce gold, copper and silver concentrates. The Company’s ability to maintain or increase its annual production of gold, copper and silver and its aggregate Mineral Reserves will be significantly dependent on its ability to expand its Mineral Resource base both at its existing mines and new mines it intends to bring into production in the future.

Exploration

Exploration is speculative and involves many risks that even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge utilized by the Company may not eliminate. Once a site with mineralization is discovered, it may take several years from the initial phases of drilling until production is possible. Substantial expenditures are normally required to locate and establish Mineral Reserves and to permit and construct mining and processing facilities. While the discovery of mineralization may result in substantial rewards if an ore body is proven, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines.

Financing, Interest Rate and Liquidity

The Company relies on the cash flows generated from its mining operations, including provisional payments received from its customers, cash on hand, available credit under its RCF, and its ability to raise debt and equity from the capital markets to fund its operating, investment and liquidity needs. The cyclical nature of the Company’s businesses, general economic conditions and the volatility of capital markets are such that conditions could change dramatically, affecting the Company’s cash flow generating capability, its ability to maintain, or draw upon, its RCF or the existing terms under its concentrate sales, as well as its liquidity, cost of capital and its ability to access additional capital, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s earnings and cash flows and, in turn, could affect total shareholder returns. To reduce these risks, the Company: (i) prepares regular cash flow forecasts to monitor its capital requirements, available liquidity and compliance with its debt covenants; (ii) strives to maintain a prudent capital structure that is comprised primarily of equity financing and a long-term committed RCF; and (iii) targets a minimum level of liquidity comprised of surplus cash balances and/or available committed lines of credit to avoid being placed into a situation where it is required to raise additional capital at times when the costs or terms would be regarded as unfavourable.

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the interest earned on the Company’s cash and cash equivalent and short-term investments, as well as potential interest paid on future drawdowns under its RCF, which is based on a floating reference rate.

Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company’s operations will be profitable or that the Company will be able to raise capital on terms that it considers reasonable. Adverse commodity market, general economic conditions and adverse capital market conditions could result in a delay or the indefinite postponement of development or construction projects and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and share price.

Environmental, Health and Safety

Mining operations, including exploration, development and production of mineral deposits and disposal of tailings and hazardous materials, generally involve a high degree of risk and are subject to conditions and events beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s operations are subject to all of the hazards and risks normally encountered in the mining sector including: adverse environmental conditions; industrial and environmental accidents; metallurgical and other processing problems; unusual or unexpected rock formations; ground or slope failures; structural cave-ins or slides; flooding or fires; seismic activity; rock bursts; equipment failures; failures to contain hazardous materials (including arsenic) within the designated areas; and periodic interruptions due to weather conditions; as well as intentional acts by individuals or groups who intend to harm or disrupt the Company’s operations. These risks could result in the destruction of mines or processing facilities, the failure of tailings management facilities and damage to infrastructure, causing partial or complete shutdowns, personal injury or death, environmental or other damage to the Company’s properties or the properties of others, monetary losses and potential legal liability. Although the Company conducts extensive maintenance and monitoring and incurs significant costs to maintain its operations, equipment and infrastructure, including tailings management facilities, unanticipated failures or damage may occur that could cause injuries, production loss or environmental pollution resulting in significant legal and/or economic liability.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

57

The Company’s mining operations are subject to extensive environmental, health and safety regulations in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations address, among other things, emissions; air and water quality standards; land use; rehabilitation and reclamation; and safety and work environment standards, including human rights. They also set forth limitations on the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of various wastes, including hazardous wastes. Environmental, health and safety legislation continues to evolve and, while the Company takes active steps to monitor this legislation, it could result in stricter standards and enforcement, increased capital and operating costs and burdens to achieve compliance, increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the Company’s mining, processing, development and exploration activities, or more stringent implementation thereof, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and cause increases in exploration expenses, capital expenditures, production costs or future rehabilitation costs or reduction in levels of production at producing properties or require abandonment or delays in development of new mining properties and/or expansion of existing properties.

Environmental hazards may exist on the properties in which the Company holds interests, which are unknown to the Company at present, and which have been caused by previous or existing owners or operators of the properties. The Company may also acquire properties with known or undiscovered environmental risk. Any indemnifications by the previous owners or others may not be adequate to pay all the fines, penalties and costs incurred related to such properties. Some of the Company’s properties have also been used for mining, processing and related operations for many years before the Company acquired them and were acquired “as is” or with assumed environmental liabilities from previous owners or operators. The Company has been required to address contamination at its properties in the past and may need to do so in the future, either for existing environmental conditions or for leaks, discharges or contamination that may arise from its ongoing operations or other contingencies. The cost of addressing environmental conditions or risks, and liabilities associated with environmental damage may be significant, and could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Production at the Company’s mines and processing facilities involves the use of various chemicals, including certain chemicals that are designated as hazardous substances. Contamination from hazardous substances, either at the Company’s own properties or other locations for which it may be responsible, may subject the Company to liability for the investigation or remediation of contamination, as well as for claims seeking to recover costs for related property damage, personal injury or damage to natural resources. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES AND INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The Company’s management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), has designed disclosure controls and procedures (“DC&P”) and internal control over financial reporting (“ICFR”), as defined in NI 52-109, based on the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) developed by COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission).

The CEO and CFO evaluated or caused to be evaluated under their supervision the design and operating effectiveness of the DC&P and ICFR as defined by NI 52-109 as at December 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that the Company's DC&P and ICFR were designed and operating effectively as at December 31, 2025.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

58

NI 52-109 also requires Canadian public companies to disclose in their MD&A any change in ICFR that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, ICFR. No material changes were made to the ICFR in the year ended December 31, 2025. Only reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that misstatements are prevented or detected on a timely basis by ICFR can be provided due to the inherent limitations of the ICFR system. Such limitations also apply to the effectiveness of ICFR as it is also possible that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in compliance with policies and procedures.

Limitation on Scope of Design

Management excluded from its assessment the internal controls, policies and procedures at Vareš, which the Company acquired control of on September 3, 2025. Refer to the “Review of Operating Results by Segment – Review of Vareš Results” section of this MD&A for selected financial information related to Vareš that is excluded from our evaluation.

This limitation of scope is in accordance with section 3.3(1)(b) of NI 52-109, which allows for an issuer to limit the design of DC&P or ICFR to exclude a business that the issuer acquired not more than 365 days before the end of the financial period to which the CEO’s and CFO’s certification of annual filings relates. With the exception of the internal controls of Vareš, there have been no significant changes in our internal controls during the year ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s Forward Looking Statements.

The Forward Looking Statements are based on what the Company’s management considers to be reasonable assumptions, beliefs, expectations and opinions based on the information currently available to it. Without limitation to the foregoing, the following section outlines certain specific Forward Looking Statements contained in the “Overview” and “Three-Year Outlook” section of this MD&A, unless otherwise noted, and provides certain material assumptions used to develop such Forward Looking Statements and material risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Forward Looking Statements (which are provided without limitation to the additional general risk factors discussed herein):

Ore processed: assumes Chelopech, Ada Tepe and Vareš mines perform at planned levels. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which is failure of plant, equipment or processes to operate as anticipated.

Cash cost per tonne of ore processed: assumes Chelopech, Ada Tepe and Vareš ore mined/milled are in line with the guidance provided; foreign exchange rates remain at or around current levels; and operating expenses at Chelopech, Ada Tepe and Vareš are at planned levels. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which are: lower than anticipated ore mined/milled; a weaker U.S. dollar relative to the Euro; and unexpected increases in labour and other operating costs.

Metals contained in concentrates produced: assumes grades and recoveries are consistent with current estimates of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves and DPM’s current expectations; and ore mined/ milled is consistent with guidance. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which are: lower than anticipated ore grades, recovery rates and ore mined/milled.

All-in sustaining cost: assumes that metals contained in concentrates produced and cash cost per tonne of ore processed at Chelopech, Ada Tepe and Vareš are each in line with the guidance provided; metal prices remain at or around current levels; the timing, destination and commercial terms in respect of concentrate deliveries are consistent with DPM’s current expectations; payable metals in concentrates sold are consistent with the guidance provided; and general and administrative expenses, sustaining capital expenditures and leases are consistent with the guidance provided. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which are: lower than anticipated metals contained in concentrates produced; concentrate deliveries and metal prices; a higher than anticipated cash cost per tonne of ore processed; and higher than anticipated sustaining capital expenditures, leases and general and administrative expenses.

Sustaining and growth capital expenditures: assumes foreign exchange rates remain at or around current levels, and all capital projects proceed as planned and at a cost that is consistent with the budget established for each project. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which are: technical challenges, delays related to securing necessary permits and approvals, equipment deliveries, equipment performance, and the speed with which work is performed; availability of qualified labour; and changes in project parameters and estimated costs, including foreign exchange impacts.

61

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Liquidity (see comments contained in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section): assumes the operating and cost performance are consistent with current expectations; metal prices, and foreign exchange rates remain at or around current levels; concentrate sales agreements terms are consistent with current terms and/or forecast levels; progress of capital projects is consistent with current expectations; and DPM’s RCF remains in place. Subject to a number of risks, the more significant of which are: lower than anticipated metals production at Chelopech and Ada Tepe, concentrate deliveries and metal prices; a weaker U.S. dollar relative to local operating currencies; changes to capital project parameters, schedule and/or costs; and the inability to draw down on DPM’s RCF due to a breach or potential breach of one of its covenants.

General: assumes ability to carry on exploration and development activities; ability to operate in a safe, efficient and effective manner; no significant unanticipated operational or technical difficulties; maintenance of good relations with the communities surrounding Chelopech, Ada Tepe, Vareš, Čoka Rakita, and Loma Larga; no significant events or changes relating to regulatory, environmental, health and safety matters; and no material increase in the negative effects of current global economic and political conditions, including inflationary pressures, beyond what has been factored into the Company’s Forward Looking Statements.

The reader is cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive of all factors and assumptions which may have been used. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in Forward Looking Statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that Forward Looking Statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The Company’s Forward Looking Statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and are only as of the date hereof. Other than as it may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update Forward Looking Statements if circumstances or management’s estimates or opinion should change. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on Forward Looking Statements.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO UNITED STATES INVESTORS CONCERNING DIFFERENCES IN REPORTING OF MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES

This MD&A has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian securities laws, under which disclosure of mineral properties are governed by NI 43-101.

There are differences between the standards and terms used for reporting Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources in Canada, and in the United States pursuant to the rules and regulations of United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The terms “Mineral Resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are defined by the CIM and the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by the CIM Council, and must be disclosed according to Canadian securities regulations.

These standards differ from the requirements of the SEC applicable to domestic United States reporting companies. Accordingly, information contained in this MD&A containing descriptions of the Company’s mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Canada. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Valuation of mine properties acquired as part of the acquisition of Adriatic Metals plc

Refer to note 2.2 – Material accounting policy information and note 3 – Acquisition of Adriatic to the consolidated financial statements.

On September 3, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Adriatic Metals Plc, which owns the Vares operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a producing silver-lead-zinc-gold underground mine. As consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $441.4 million in cash, and issued 54,935,109 common shares at a market price of $19.33 per share with an aggregated value of $1,062.2 million. This transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The fair value of the assets acquired, included $1,704.4 million representing the fair value of acquired mine properties.

Our approach to addressing the matter included the following procedures, among others:

  • Tested how management estimated the fair value of the mine properties, which included the following:

  • Evaluated the reasonableness of the future metal prices by comparing it with external market and industry data.

  • The work of management’s experts was used in performing the procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the production based on estimated Mineral Reserves and Resources. As a basis for using this work, the competence, capabilities and objectivity of management’s experts were evaluated, the work performed was understood and the appropriateness of the work as audit evidence was evaluated. The procedures performed also included evaluation of the methods and assumptions used by management’s experts, tests of the data used by management’s experts and an evaluation of their findings.

65

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

Key audit matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

Management applied significant judgment and assumptions in estimating the fair value of mine properties, including future metal prices, production based on current estimated of Mineral Reserves and Resources and the discount rate. To estimate the fair value, management used a discounted cash flow model.

The Company prepares its Mineral Reserves and Resources estimates based on information related to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body which is compiled by qualified persons (management’s expert).

  • Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge in the field of valuation assisted in assessing the following: (i) reasonability of the discount rate and future metal prices used in the discounted cash flow model and

  • (ii) appropriateness of management’s valuation methodology to determine the fair value of acquired mine properties.

We considered this a key audit matter due to the significant judgment by management in estimating the fair value of mine properties, including the development of significant assumptions. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the significant assumptions used by management. The audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skills and knowledge in the field of valuation.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, which we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report and the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in the annual report, which is expected to be made available to us after that date.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not and will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

66

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. When we read the information, other than the consolidated financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, included in the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

67

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

As part of an audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  • Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the Company as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

68

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Manuel Eduardo Pereyra.

DPM trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) (symbol: DPM) and the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) as a Foreign Exempt Listing (symbol: DPM) (ARBN: 689370894). The address of DPM’s registered office is 150 King Street West, Suite 902, P.O. Box 30, Toronto, Ontario M5H 1J9.

Effective September 12, 2025, DPM changed its name from Dundee Precious Metals Inc. to DPM Metals Inc., and as part of this transition, its subsidiary companies have also adopted corresponding name changes, where applicable, to align with its new brand identity.

As at December 31, 2025, DPM’s consolidated financial statements included DPM and its subsidiary companies (collectively, the “Company”).

Continuing operations:

2.1 Basis of Preparation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”). These consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on February 10, 2026.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

75

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

2.2 Material Accounting Policy Information

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for publicly traded securities, derivative assets and liabilities, as well as copper stream liability (note 7) that are measured at fair value.

The Company’s material accounting policies are set out below. The Company has consistently applied these accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.

(a) Basis of consolidation

Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The Company uses the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. The fair value of the acquisition of a subsidiary is based on the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the fair value of the consideration. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed includes any contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. At the date of acquisition, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values. The Company also recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value.

The excess, if any, of the consideration paid and the amount of any non-controlling interest recognized over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. In the case of a bargain purchase, where the total consideration paid and the non-controlling interest recognized are less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is acquired by the Company and they are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company balances, revenues and expenses and earnings and losses resulting from inter-company transactions are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are a separate component of the Company’s equity. Non-controlling interests consist of the non-controlling interests on the date of the original business combination plus the non-controlling interests’ share of changes in equity since the date of acquisition.

(b) Critical accounting estimates and judgments

The preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities on the date of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the period reported. Estimates and assumptions are evaluated and are based on management’s experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual outcomes can differ from these estimates.

The significant areas of estimation and/or judgment considered by management in preparing the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to:

  • capitalization of exploration and evaluation assets (note 2.2(k));

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

  • commencement of commercial production (note 2.2(l));

  • Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates (note 2.2(l)) ;

  • impairment of non-financial assets (note 2.2(p)) ;

  • rehabilitation provisions and contingencies (note 2.2(q)) ; and

  • deferred income tax assets and liabilities (note 2.2(w)) .

(c) Presentation and functional currency

The Company’s presentation currency is the U.S. dollar and the functional currency of DPM and its consolidated subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar as it was assessed by management as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which the Company operates.

(d) Foreign currency

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates on the reporting date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rates on the dates that their fair values are determined. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Income and expense items are translated at the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions. Exchange gains or losses resulting from the translation of these amounts are included in net earnings (loss), except those arising on the translation of equity instruments that are fair valued through other comprehensive income (loss).

Foreign operations

Foreign operations are comprised of subsidiaries of the Company that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates on the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates on the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency differences are recognized as currency translation adjustments in other comprehensive income (loss). Accumulated currency translation adjustments are reclassified to net earnings (loss) upon the disposal of the associated foreign operation when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash deposits, guaranteed investment certificates (“GICs”) and/or other highly rated and liquid securities with an original maturity of less than three months. As at December 31, 2025, cash and cash equivalents comprised of cash at banks of $337.8 million (December 31, 2024 – $580.3 million) and GICs of $160.0 million (December 31, 2024 – $54.5 million) in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(f) Inventories

Inventories of ore and concentrate are measured and valued at the lower of average production cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of the concentrate in the ordinary course of business based on the prevailing metal prices on the reporting date, less estimated costs to complete production and to bring the concentrate to sale. Production costs that are inventoried include the costs directly related to bringing the inventory to its current condition and location, such as materials, labour, other direct costs (including external services and depreciation, depletion and amortization), production related overheads and royalties.

Inventories of spare parts, supplies and other materials are valued at the lower of average cost and net realizable value. Obsolete, redundant and slow moving inventories are identified at each reporting date and written down to their net realizable values.

(g) Financial assets and liabilities excluding derivative instruments related to hedging activities

Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Non-derivative financial assets are classified and measured as “financial assets at fair value”, as either through profit or loss (“FVPL”) or through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), and “financial assets at amortized cost”, as appropriate. The Company determines the classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition based on the Company’s business model and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not at FVPL, directly attributable transaction costs on the trade date at which the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets with embedded derivatives are considered in their entirety when determining their classification at FVPL or at amortized cost. The Company has classified accounts receivable on provisionally priced sales or inventories as financial assets measured at FVPL. Other accounts receivable held for collection of contractual cash flows are measured at amortized cost.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVPL

Financial assets measured at FVPL include financial assets management intends to sell in the short term and any derivative financial instrument that is not designated as a hedging instrument in a hedge relationship. Financial assets measured at FVPL are carried at fair value in the consolidated statements of financial position with changes in fair value recognized in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The Company’s investment in warrants, embedded derivatives and accounts receivable on provisionally priced sales are classified as financial assets at FVPL.

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at FVOCI

Financial assets measured at FVOCI are non-derivative financial assets that are not held for trading and the Company has made an irrevocable election at the time of initial recognition to measure the assets at FVOCI. The Company’s investments in publicly traded equity securities are classified as financial assets at FVOCI.

After initial measurement, investments measured at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Subsequent measurement – Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets measured at amortized cost are non-derivative financial assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent repayments of principal and interest. The Company’s other accounts receivable is classified as financial assets at amortized cost.

Dividends from all financial assets are recognized in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) when the right to receive the dividend is established.

Derecognition

A financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are transferred, or the Company no longer retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount measured at the date of derecognition and the consideration received is recognized in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) except for financial assets at FVOCI, for which the cumulative gain or loss remains in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) or is transferred to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

The Company’s only financial assets subject to impairment are other accounts receivable, which are measured at amortized cost. The Company has elected to apply the simplified approach to impairment as permitted by IFRS 9, Financial Instruments , which requires the expected lifetime loss to be recognized at the time of initial recognition of the receivable. To measure estimated credit losses, accounts receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics, including the number of days past due. An impairment loss is reversed in subsequent periods if the amount of the expected loss decreases and the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the initial impairment was recognized.

Financial liabilities

Recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost, unless they are required to be measured at FVPL as is the case for held for trading or derivative instruments, or the Company has opted to measure the financial liability at FVPL. The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The Company's financial liabilities measured at FVPL include the copper stream liability.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires with any associated gain or loss recognized in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

(h) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the dates they are entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

For a derivative instrument to qualify for hedge accounting, the Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between a hedging instrument and hedged item, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction. The Company also documents its assessment, both at inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivative used to hedge an underlying exposure is highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining maturity is more than 12 months.

Commodity swap contracts designated as fair value hedges

The Company designates the spot component of commodity swap contracts to hedge the metal price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of concentrate sales as a fair value hedge.

The effective portion of changes in fair value of the spot component of these commodity swap contracts are recognized in revenue in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss), together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged accounts receivable on the provisionally priced sales.

The forward point component of these commodity swap contracts is accounted for separately as a cost of hedging. As a result, any change in the fair value of the forward point component is recognized in revenue in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

When a hedging instrument expires, or is sold or terminated, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for cash flow hedge accounting, the accumulated deferred gains or losses remain in other comprehensive income (loss) until the period the underlying transaction that was hedged occurs at which point they are reclassified and recognized in revenue in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). If the underlying hedged transaction is no longer expected to occur, the accumulated gains or losses that were initially recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) are immediately reclassified to other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of all cash flow or fair value hedges, if any, are recognized immediately in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

(i) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(j) Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of financial instruments that are traded in active markets at each reporting date is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations (bid price for long positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs.

For instruments not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined using appropriate valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length transactions; reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same; discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models. These valuation models require the use of assumptions, including future stock price volatility and probability of exercise.

Changes in the underlying assumptions could materially impact the Company’s investments at FVPL. Further details on measurement of the fair values of financial instruments are provided in note 7 .

(k) Mineral exploration and evaluation expenditures

Exploration and evaluation activities involve the search for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, the assessment of technical and operational feasibility and the determination of an identified Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve’s commercial viability. Once the legal right to explore has been acquired, exploration and evaluation expenditures are expensed as incurred until economic production is probable. Exploration expenditures in areas where there is a reasonable expectation to convert existing estimated Mineral Resources to estimated Mineral Reserves or to add additional Mineral Resources with additional drilling and evaluations in areas near existing Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves and existing or planned production facilities, are capitalized.

Exploration properties that contain Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, but for which a development decision has not yet been made, are subject to periodic review for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the project’s carrying value may not be recoverable.

Exploration and evaluation assets are reclassified to “Mine Properties – Mines under construction” when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves are demonstrable and construction has commenced or a decision to construct has been made. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment before reclassification to “Mines under construction”, and the impairment charge, if any, is recognized through net earnings (loss).

The application of the Company’s accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditures requires judgment in determining whether it is probable that future economic benefits will be generated from the exploitation of an exploration and evaluation asset when activities have not yet reached a stage where a reasonable assessment of the existence of Mineral Reserves can be determined. The estimation of Mineral Resources is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates regarding economic and geological data and these assumptions and estimates impact the decision to either expense or capitalize exploration and evaluation expenditures. Management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions about future events and circumstances in order to determine if an economically viable extraction operation can be established. Any revision to any of these assumptions and estimates could result in the impairment of the capitalized exploration and evaluation costs. If new information becomes available after expenditures have been capitalized that the recovery of these expenditures is no longer probable, the expenditures capitalized are written down to the recoverable amount and charged to net earnings (loss) in the period the new information becomes available.

(l) Mine properties

Mine Properties – Mines under construction

All expenditures undertaken in the development, construction, installation and/or completion of mine production facilities are capitalized and initially classified as “Mines under construction”. All expenditures related to the construction of mine declines and ore body access, including mine shafts and ventilation raises, are considered to be capital development and are capitalized. Expenses incurred after reaching the ore body are regarded as operating development costs and are included in the cost of ore hoisted.

Upon the commencement of commercial production, all related assets included in “Mines under construction” are reclassified to “Mine Properties – Producing mines” or “Property, plant and equipment”. Determination of commencement of commercial production is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates. The commencement of commercial production is defined as the date when the mine is capable of operating in the manner intended by management. The Company considers primarily the following factors, among others, when determining the commencement of commercial production:

  • All major capital expenditures to achieve a consistent level of production and desired capacity have been incurred;

81

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

  • A reasonable period of testing of the mine plant and equipment has been completed;

  • A predetermined percentage of design capacity of the mine and mill has been reached; and

  • Required production levels, grades and recoveries have been achieved.

Mine Properties – Producing mines

All assets reclassified from “Mines under construction” to “Producing mines” are stated at cost less accumulated depletion and accumulated impairment charges. Costs incurred for the acquisition of land are stated at cost.

The initial cost of a producing mine comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing it to a working condition for its intended use, the initial estimate of the rehabilitation costs, and for qualifying assets, applicable borrowing costs during construction. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset.

When a mine construction project moves into production, the capitalization of certain mine construction costs ceases, and from that point on, costs are either regarded as inventory costs or expensed as cost of sales, except for costs related to mine additions or improvements, open pit stripping activities that provide a future benefit, and underground mine development or mineable reserve development, which qualify for capitalization.

Depletion

The depletion of a producing mine asset is based on the unit-of-production method over the estimated economic life of the related deposit.

Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates

The estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as defined under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mine Projects , is a complex process and requires significant assumptions and estimates. The Company prepares its Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates based on information related to the geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body which is compiled by appropriately qualified persons. Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates are based upon factors such as metal prices, capital requirements, production costs, foreign exchange rates, geotechnical and geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body. Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates, together with forecast production, determine the life of mine estimates and therefore changes in the Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve estimates may impact the carrying value of exploration and evaluation assets (note 2.2(k)) , mine properties, property, plant and equipment (note 2.2(m)), depletion and depreciation charges (note 2.2(m)), rehabilitation provisions (note 2.2(q)), and deferred income tax assets (note 2.2(w)).

(m) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment charges.

The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price or construction cost, any costs directly attributable to bringing it to a working condition for its intended use, the initial estimate of the rehabilitation costs, and for qualifying assets, applicable borrowing costs during construction. The purchase price or construction cost is the aggregate amount of cash consideration paid and the fair value of any other consideration given to acquire the asset. Where an item of property, plant and equipment is comprised of significant components with different useful lives, the components are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment. Right-of-use assets relating to leases are also included in property, plant and equipment (note 2.2(r)) .

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

Depreciation

The depreciation of property, plant and equipment related to a mine is based on the unit-of-production method over the estimated economic life of the related deposit, except in the case of an asset whose estimated useful life is less than the life of the deposit, in which case the asset is depreciated over its estimated useful life based on the straight-line method. For all other property, plant and equipment, depreciation is based on the estimated useful life of the asset on a straight-line basis. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment used in a capitalized exploration or development project is capitalized to the project.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, which are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, is as follows:

Asset Category Estimated useful life
(Years)
Buildings 9 - 20
Machinery and Equipment 3 - 10
Vehicles 5
Computer Hardware 3
Office Equipment 4 - 10

Construction work-in-progress includes property, plant and equipment in the course of construction and is carried at cost less any recognized impairment charge. These assets are reclassified to the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment and depreciation of these assets commences when they are completed and ready for their intended use.

An item of property, plant and equipment, including any significant part initially recognized, is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset, calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation of all assets are reviewed at each financial year end and are adjusted prospectively, if appropriate. Significant judgment is involved in the determination of estimated residual values and useful lives. The actual residual values and useful lives may differ from current estimates.

Depreciation of mine specific assets is based on the unit-of-production method. The life of these assets is assessed annually with regard to both their anticipated useful life and the present assessments of the economically recoverable reserves and resources of the mine property where these assets are located. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions, including the amount of recoverable reserves and resources. Any changes to these calculations based on new information are accounted for prospectively.

Rates of depreciation and, in turn, the annual depreciation expense could therefore be materially affected by changes in underlying estimates. Changes in estimates can be the result of differences in actual production or changes in forecast future production, changes in Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves through exploration activities, differences between estimated and actual costs of mining and differences in metal prices used in the estimation of Mineral Reserves.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

Major maintenance and repairs

Expenditures on major maintenance include the cost of replacing part of an asset and overhaul costs. When part of an asset is being replaced and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the replacement or overhauled item will flow to the Company through an extended life, the expenditure is capitalized as a separate asset and the carrying amount of the replaced part is written off.

(n) Intangible assets

Intangible assets include software, as well as exploration and software licences.

Intangible assets acquired are measured upon initial recognition at cost, which comprises the purchase price plus any costs directly attributable to the preparation of the asset for its intended use. Identifiable intangible assets acquired through business combinations are initially recognized at fair value as at the date of acquisition.

Research expenditures are recognized as an expense as incurred. Development costs that are directly attributable to the design and testing of an identifiable software product are capitalized and recognized as an intangible asset.

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment charges and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

The amortization periods applicable to intangible assets over their estimated useful lives are as follows:

Asset Category Estimated useful life
(Years)
Computer Software 3 - 5
Exploration and Software Licences 3 - 5

Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the intangible assets require the use of estimates and assumptions and are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates. The amortization expense attributable to an intangible asset is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) in the applicable expense category to which the intangible asset relates.

The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an intangible asset is measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

(o) Assets and liabilities held for sale and discontinued operations

Non-current assets or assets in a disposal group that are expected to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continuing use are classified as assets held for sale. For this to be the case, the asset or a disposal group must be available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets or disposal groups and its sale must be highly probable.

A disposal group is a group of assets which the Company intends to dispose of in a single transaction. These assets are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less cost to sell. Impairment charges on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains or losses on remeasurement are recognized in net earnings (loss) from discontinued operations. The reversal of any previously recognized impairment charge cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment charge been recognized for the asset held for sale.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

84

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

Assets and liabilities in a disposal group are classified as held for sale and are presented separately in the consolidated statements of financial position.

The measurement of assets held for sale requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to the carrying value and its recoverability through sale. Actual sale proceeds may differ materially from the carrying value.

A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a separate line of business or geographical area of operations. The operating results and cash flows of discontinued operations are presented separately in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and cash flows.

(p) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the carrying values of mine properties, intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are assessed for impairment if indicators of potential impairment exist. If any indication of potential impairment exists, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is calculated. The recoverable amount is determined as the higher of the fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use based on discounted cash flows. This is determined on an asset-by-asset basis, unless the asset does not generate cash flows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. If this is the case, individual assets are grouped together into a Cash Generating Unit (“CGU”) for impairment purposes. Such CGUs represent the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash flows from other assets or groups of assets. Management has assessed the Company’s CGUs as being an individual operating site.

If the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is reduced to its recoverable amount with the corresponding impairment being charged to earnings (loss) in the period of impairment. Impairment charge is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) in those expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.

An assessment is also made at each reporting date as to whether there is any change in events or circumstances relating to a previously recognized impairment. If a change has occurred, the Company makes an estimate of the recoverable amount for the previously impaired asset or CGU. A previously recognized impairment charge is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset or CGU’s recoverable amount since the last impairment charge was recognized. If this is the case, the carrying amount of the asset or CGU is increased to its newly determined recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation and amortization, had no impairment charge been recognized for the asset or CGU in prior years.

The assessment of impairment is based on a number of external and internal factors, some of which are outside of the Company’s control, and requires the use of estimates and assumptions related to these factors for each CGU. External factors include market considerations ranging from overall economic activity and the supply of and demand for the materials used in and products produced by the Company to changes in commodity prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates and regulatory requirements. Internal factors include considerations such as production volume, ability to convert resources into reserves, capital and operating expenditures, and future development and expansion plans.

85

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

These significant estimates and assumptions, some of which may be subjective, require that management make decisions based on the best available information at each reporting period. It is possible that the actual recoverable amount could be significantly different than those estimates. A significant decline in the asset’s market value, reductions in metal price forecasts, increases in estimated future costs of production, increases in estimated future capital costs, reductions in the amount of recoverable reserves, resources and exploration potential, and/or adverse market conditions can result in a write-down of the carrying amounts of the Company’s assets. Judgment is also required when considering whether significant changes in any of these items indicate a previous impairment may have reversed.

(q) Provisions and contingencies

General

Provisions are recognized when: a) the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event; and b) it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation. Where some or all of the expenditure required to settle a provision is expected to be reimbursed by another party, the reimbursement shall be recognized when it is virtually certain that reimbursement will be received if the Company settles the obligation. The reimbursement shall be treated as a separate asset. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pretax discount rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision as a result of the passage of time is recognized in finance cost in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

A contingent liability is not recognized in the case where no reliable estimate can be made; however, disclosure is required unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote. By its nature, a contingent liability will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The assessment of a contingent liability inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events.

Rehabilitation provisions

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. The Company recognizes a liability for its rehabilitation obligations in the period when a legal and/or constructive obligation is identified. The liability is measured at the present value of the estimated costs required to rehabilitate operating locations based on the risk free nominal discount rates that are specific to the countries in which the operations are located. A corresponding increase to the carrying amount of the related asset is recorded and depreciated in the same manner as the related asset.

The nature of these restoration and rehabilitation activities includes: i) dismantling and removing structures; ii) rehabilitating mines and tailing dams; iii) dismantling operating facilities; iv) closure of plant and waste sites; and v) restoration, reclamation and re-vegetation of affected areas. Other environmental costs incurred at the operating sites, such as environmental monitoring, water management and waste management costs, are charged to profit or loss when incurred.

The liability is accreted over time to its expected future settlement value. The accretion expense is recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

The Company assesses its rehabilitation provisions at each reporting date. The rehabilitation liability and related assets are adjusted at each reporting date for changes in the discount rates and in the estimated amount, timing and cost of the work to be carried out. Any reduction in the rehabilitation liability and therefore any deduction in the related rehabilitation asset may not exceed the carrying amount of that asset. If it does, any excess over the carrying value is immediately credited to profit or loss.

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

86

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

Significant estimates and assumptions are made by management in determining the nature and costs associated with the rehabilitation liability. The estimates and assumptions required include estimates of the timing, extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technology changes, regulatory changes, and changes in the discount and inflation rates. These uncertainties may result in future expenditures being different from the amounts currently provided.

(r) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on the substance of the agreement on the inception date.

As a lessee, the Company recognizes a lease obligation and a right-of-use asset in the consolidated statements of financial position on a present-value basis at the date when the leased asset is available for use. Each lease payment is apportioned between a finance charge and a reduction of the lease obligation. Finance charges are recognized in finance costs in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The right-of-use asset is included in property, plant and equipment and is depreciated over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Lease obligations are initially measured at the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate;

  • amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees;

  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option.

Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, or if this rate cannot be determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of the lease obligation;

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received;

  • any initial direct costs; and

  • rehabilitation costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straightline basis as an expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise primarily small equipment.

(s) Share capital

Common shares issued by DPM are classified as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares are recognized in equity as a deduction from the share proceeds. Costs to repurchase and cancel the Company’s shares are recognized as a reduction in share capital to the extent of its book value. The excess of the purchase price over the book value is recognized as a reduction in contributed surplus to the extent of available surplus and any further excess is recognized as a reduction in retained earnings in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

(t) Revenue recognition

Revenue from the sale of concentrates is recognized when control has been transferred, which is considered to occur when products have been delivered and the significant risks of loss have been transferred to the buyer. Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in the contract.

Revenue from the sale of concentrates is initially recorded based on a provisional value which is a function of prevailing market prices for the respective payable metals, estimated weights and grades less smelter and other commercial deductions. Under the terms of the concentrate sales contracts, the final metal price for the payable metal is based on a predetermined quotational period of London Metal Exchange and London Bullion Market daily prices. The price of the concentrate is the sum of the metal payments less the sum of specified deductions, including treatment and refining charges, penalties for deleterious elements, and freight. The terms of these contracts result in embedded derivatives because of the timing difference between the prevailing metal prices for provisional payments and the actual contractual metal prices used for final settlement. These embedded derivatives are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period through to the date of final price determination with any adjustments recognized in revenue.

Any adjustments to the amount receivable for each shipment on the settlement date, caused by final assay results, are adjusted through revenue at the time of determination.

(u) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly related to the acquisition and the construction of a qualifying capital asset are capitalized and added to the cost of the asset until such time as the asset is considered substantially ready for its intended use. Where funds are borrowed specifically to finance a project, the amount capitalized represents the actual borrowing costs incurred. Where funds used to finance a project form part of general borrowings, the amount capitalized is calculated using the weighted average cost applicable to relevant general borrowings of the Company during the period. All other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(v) Share-based compensation transactions

Equity-settled transactions

Stock options are granted to directors and selected employees to buy common shares of the Company. Stock options vest equally over a three-year period and expire five years from the date of grant. Grants of stock options are based on the five-day volume weighted average price (“Market Price”) of DPM’s common shares on the TSX the day before the effective grant date and reflect the Company’s estimate of the number of awards that will ultimately vest. Stock options are measured on the date of grant by reference to the fair value determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, further details of which are given in note 17. The value is recognized as a general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) and an increase to contributed surplus in the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled.

The dilutive effect of outstanding stock options is reflected as additional share dilution in the computation of diluted earnings per share.

Cash-settled transactions

A Deferred Share Unit (“DSU”) Plan was established for directors in lieu of cash compensation. The DSUs are paid in cash following separation of a director from the Company based on the closing price of DPM’s common shares on the applicable redemption date as elected by the director. The cost of the DSUs is measured initially at fair value based on the closing price of DPM’s common shares preceding the day the DSUs are granted. The cost of the DSUs is recognized as a liability under share-based compensation liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position and as a general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss). The liability is remeasured to fair value based on the Market Price of DPM’s common shares at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

A share unit plan was established for directors, certain employees and eligible contractors (“Participant”) of DPM and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in consideration of past services to the Company.

Under this plan, the Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion, (i) grant non-performance based share units, referred to as restricted share units (“RSUs”) and share units with a performance-based component, referred to as performance share units (“PSUs”), subject to performance conditions to be achieved by the Company; and (ii) determine the entitlement date or dates of such RSUs and PSUs. Nonperformance based RSUs vest equally over a three-year period and are paid in cash based on the Market Price of DPM’s publicly traded common shares on the entitlement date or dates. PSUs vest after three years from the grant date and are paid in cash based on the Market Price of DPM’s common shares, subject to performance criteria established by the Board of Directors on the entitlement date or dates.

The cost of the RSUs and PSUs is measured initially at fair value on the grant date based on the Market Price of DPM’s common shares preceding the effective grant date. The cost of RSUs and PSUs is recognized as a liability under share-based compensation liabilities, with the current portion recognized in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position, and as an expense in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) over the vesting period. The liability is remeasured to fair value based on the Market Price of DPM’s common shares and, in the case of PSUs, subject to performance criteria, at each reporting date up to and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

(w) Income taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities on the taxable loss or income for the period. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities are only offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset the amounts and the Company intends to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet method on temporary differences on the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable income will be generated in future periods to utilize these deductible temporary differences.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

The following temporary differences do not result in deferred income tax assets or liabilities:

  • The initial recognition of assets or liabilities, not arising from a business combination, that does not affect accounting or taxable profit;

  • Initial recognition of goodwill, if any; and

  • Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the timing of the reversal of temporary differences can be controlled and reversal in the foreseeable future is not probable.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient future taxable income will be generated to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting period and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable income will be generated to allow the deferred income tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to be in effect in the period when the asset is expected to be realized or the liability is expected to be settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred income taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Current and deferred income taxes related to items recognized directly in equity are recognized in equity and not in profit or loss. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Judgment is required in determining whether deferred income tax assets are recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position. Deferred income tax assets, including those arising from unutilized tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Company will generate future taxable income in order to utilize the deferred income tax assets. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations or other activities and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Company to realize the net deferred income tax assets recorded on the reporting date could be impacted.

Additionally, future changes in tax laws in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates could impact tax deductions in future periods and the value of its deferred income tax assets and liabilities.

(x) Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing the net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period.

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if additional common shares are assumed to be issued under securities that entitle their holders to obtain common shares in the future. The number of additional shares for inclusion in diluted earnings per share is determined using the treasury stock method, whereby stock options and warrants, whose exercise price is less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares, are assumed to be exercised at the beginning of the period with proceeds based on the average market price for the period. The incremental number of common shares issued under stock options and warrants is included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

3. Acquisition of Adriatic

On September 3, 2025, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of the entire issued, and to be issued, ordinary share capital of Adriatic (the “Transaction”), which owns the Vareš operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a producing silver-lead-zinc-gold underground mine.

As consideration for the acquisition, DPM paid £321.3 million ($441.4 million) in cash, and issued 54,935,109 common shares at a market price of $19.33 (Cdn$26.63) per share based on DPM's closing share price as at September 2, 2025, with an aggregate value of $1,062.2 million.

This Transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The total consideration paid, along with the estimated fair value of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, is summarized in the table below:

Consideration paid
Cash consideration(1) 441,358
Fair value of shares issued 1,062,167
Total consideration paid 1,503,525
Recognized amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed
Cash and cash equivalents 42,206
Accounts receivable 14,926
Inventories(2) 53,063
Other assets 1,750
Property, plant and equipment 116,680
Mine properties 1,704,353

Lease liabilities (2,754)
Rehabilitation provision (6,350)
Deferred income tax liabilities (153,527)
Net identifiable assets acquired 1,503,525

(1) Included realized losses of $7.0 million related to a foreign exchange forward contract, which was entered into in June 2025 to manage the foreign exchange exposure on the cash consideration portion of the Transaction as a cash flow hedge.

(2) Included a fair value adjustment of $30.5 million for the ore and concentrate inventories acquired to reflect the fair value of these inventories at the date of the acquisition, which have fully been recognized in cost of sales as a result of the sale of inventories measured at a weighted average cost during the period from September 3, 2025, the date of acquisition, to December 31, 2025.

(3) Included accrued costs totalling $49.8 million incurred by Adriatic, mainly comprised of its financial advisory and legal fees, as well as change of control payments related to the Transaction.

(4) At the close of the Transaction, Adriatic had two debt facilities with a total borrowing of $136.3 million, inclusive of accrued interests. As at December 31, 2025, these debts were fully repaid, with the cash repayment included in the cash flows used in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(5) The Company assumed a copper stream agreement originally entered into between Adriatic and Gold Royalty Corp. (“Gold Royalty”), which was accounted for as a financial liability (see note 7(b)) .

Fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities were determined based on costs, quoted market prices and discounted cash flow models, as deemed appropriate. Significant judgment and assumptions were applied in estimating the fair value of mine properties, including future metal prices, production based on current estimates of Mineral Reserves and Resources, and discount rate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

On June 13, 2025, the Company was required to set aside restricted cash of £336.1 million ($464.9 million) to satisfy the cash consideration portion of the acquisition, together with certain acquisition related costs. This restricted cash was released at the closing of the Transaction.

The Adriatic acquisition related costs of $15.4 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025, mainly comprised of financial advisory and legal fees, were expensed as incurred. These transaction costs were included in other income and expense in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The Company recognized post-acquisition revenue and net earnings of $93.7 million and $28.0 million, respectively, from the pre-commercial production of the Vareš operation in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the period between September 3 and December 31, 2025. Had Vareš been consolidated from January 1, 2025, the Company would have reported revenue and a net loss related to Vareš of $206.6 million and $44.5 million, respectively, in its consolidated statements of earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

4. Tsumeb Disposition and Discontinued Operations

On August 30, 2024, DPM closed its previously announced sale of the Tsumeb smelter to a subsidiary of Sinomine Resource Group Co. Ltd. (“Sinomine”) for cash consideration of $20.0 million, on a debt-free and cash-free basis (the “Tsumeb Disposition”). Net cash consideration received included $5.0 million held in escrow at closing to secure against certain indemnity obligations for a period up to six months. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the $5.0 million restricted cash was released from other current assets to cash and cash equivalents.

As part of the Tsumeb Disposition, DPM entered into a tolling arrangement with Tsumeb (the “DPM Tolling Agreement”) for a period of four months following the closing of the sale. On December 31, 2024, the DPM Tolling Agreement was concluded and as a result, Sinomine bought back all inventories, including unprocessed concentrates and contractual secondary materials owed by the smelter to DPM. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company received a net of $167.9 million in cash in respect of the DPM Tolling Agreement. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had a net receivable of $21.6 million, reflecting primarily the mark-to-market adjustments on provisionally priced unprocessed third-party materials.

The Company has chosen to present cash provided from (used in) operating, investing and financing activities on a consolidated basis in its consolidated statements of cash flows starting from 2025, supplemented with the disclosure of the cash flow activities from discontinued operations in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, where applicable, so as to better conform with the industry practices. As a result, certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(a) Commodity swap contracts

The Company enters into cash settled commodity swap contracts from time to time to swap future contracted monthly average metal prices for fixed metal prices to eliminate or substantially reduce the metal price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of concentrate sales.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company’s outstanding commodity swap contracts, all of which mature within four months from the reporting date, are summarized in the table below:

Commodity hedged Volume hedged Weighted average fixed hedging price
Payable gold 39,075 ounces 4,303/ounce
Payable copper 5,844,448pounds 5.22/pound

The Company designates the spot component of commodity swap contracts as fair value hedges.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

The fair value gain or loss on commodity swap contracts is calculated based on the corresponding London Metal Exchange (“LME”) forward copper prices and New York Commodity Exchange forward gold prices, as applicable. As at December 31, 2025, the net fair value loss on all outstanding commodity swap contracts was $3.5 million (December 31, 2024 – net fair value gain of $1.0 million), of which $0.8 million (December 31, 2024 – $1.2 million) was included in other current assets and $4.3 million (December 31, 2024 – $0.2 million) was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized, in revenue, net losses of $27.3 million (2024 – $8.1 million) on commodity swap contracts.

Effects of hedge accounting

Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged items (the Company’s accounts receivable on provisionally priced sales, projected payable metal production, and projected operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in foreign currencies) and the hedging instruments (commodity swap contracts and foreign exchange forward and option contracts). The hedges are effective when the critical terms of the hedging instrument match with the critical terms of the hedged item.

Hedge ineffectiveness can arise from:

  • Differences in the timing and/or amount of the cash flows of the hedged item and the hedging instrument; and

  • Fair value movements related to counterparty credit risk, which impact the hedging instrument and the hedged item differently.

The Company’s hedging relationships are such that the ratio between the underlying hedged item and the hedging instrument is 1:1. To measure for potential hedge ineffectiveness, the Company compares change in the fair value of the hedging instrument to change in the fair value of the underlying hedged item.

Set out below is a summary of effects of hedge accounting on the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position by risk category for its fair value hedges:

(b) Copper stream agreement

As part of the Adriatic acquisition (note 3) , the Company assumed a copper stream agreement originally entered into between Adriatic and Gold Royalty. Under the assumed terms of this agreement, the Company is required to deliver, on a monthly basis, copper warrants purchased on the LME, with the volume equivalent to 24.5% of the contained copper in concentrates produced at the Vareš mine. The value of the copper warrants is determined based on the official LME copper cash price at the time of delivery. In exchange, Gold Royalty is required to make a cash payment equal to 30% of the value of each copper warrant delivered. The remaining 70% of the warrant value is applied as a repayment against a $22.5 million prepayment originally provided by Gold Royalty to Adriatic. The agreement will remain in effect for the life of the Vareš mine, unless terminated earlier upon mutual consent of the parties or in the event of default.

The Company’s obligation under the copper stream agreement is accounted for as a financial liability measured at fair value through profit or loss and is classified within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow model based on expected future copper production, forecast LME copper prices, and a discount rate reflecting the Company's credit-adjusted risk profile. Changes in the fair value of the liability are recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

As at December 31, 2025, the fair value of the copper stream liability was $45.6 million, of which $4.0 million was included in current portion of long-term liabilities and $41.6 million in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. Certain assumptions in the fair value included copper price forecasts of $5.50 – $5.60 per pound between 2025 and 2039, and a discount rate of 13.63%. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognized a fair value loss of $9.2 million in other income and expense.

(C) Fair value hierarchy

The Company uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

  • Level 1: based on quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • Level 2: based on inputs which have a significant effect on fair value that are observable, either directly or indirectly from market data; and

  • Level 3: based on inputs which have a significant effect on fair value that are not observable from market data.

13. Debt

(a) DPM Revolving Credit Facility

DPM has a committed revolving credit facility (the “RCF”) with a consortium of four banks that matures in July 2026, and is secured by pledges of DPM’s investments in Ada Tepe, Chelopech and the Loma Larga project and by guarantees from each of the subsidiaries that hold these assets. Initially, DPM is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, which can be increased pursuant to an accordion feature that permits, subject to certain conditions, the facility to be increased to $250.0 million. The cost of borrowing is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), plus a spread, which is currently 2.25%, and can range between 2.25% and 3.50% depending upon DPM’s leverage. The RCF contains financial covenants that require DPM to maintain: (i) a Debt Leverage Ratio below 3.75:1, and (ii) a minimum net worth equal to $600 million plus (minus) 50% of ongoing net earnings (loss) plus 50% of all equity raised by DPM, in each case, as defined under the RCF.

As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, DPM was in compliance with all financial covenants and $nil was drawn under the RCF.

In February 2026, DPM replaced the RCF with a new committed revolving credit facility (the “New RCF”) with a consortium of five banks that matures in February 2030. Overall, this facility contains more favourable terms and conditions than the current RCF, providing added flexibility, a four-year extended term, and lower pricing. The facility is secured by pledges of DPM’s investments in Ada Tepe, Chelopech, Čoka Rakita and Loma Larga projects and by guarantees from certain subsidiaries that hold these assets. Initially, DPM is permitted to borrow up to an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million, which can be increased pursuant to an accordion feature that permits, subject to certain conditions, the facility to be increased to $550.0 million. The cost of borrowing is based on the SOFR, plus a spread, which is currently 2.00%, and can range between 2.00% and 3.25% depending upon DPM’s leverage. The New RCF contains financial covenants that require DPM to maintain: (i) a Debt Leverage Ratio below 3.75:1, and (ii) a minimum net worth equal to $1,600 million plus (minus) 50% of ongoing net earnings (loss) plus 50% of all equity raised by DPM, in each case, after December 31, 2025, as defined under the New RCF.

(b) Other credit agreements and guarantees

Chelopech and Ada Tepe have a $15.0 million multi-purpose credit facility that matures on November 30, 2026 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $9.6 million (December 31, 2024 – $15.8 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of credit and letters of guarantee, primarily in respect of concession contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy.

Chelopech and Ada Tepe also have a Euro 38.0 million ($44.6 million) credit facility to support mine closure and rehabilitation obligations in respect of concession contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy. This credit facility matures on November 30, 2025 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $30.3 million (December 31, 2024 – $21.8 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of guarantee.

Ada Tepe also has a $10.3 million multi-purpose credit facility that matures on November 30, 2026 and is guaranteed by DPM. As at December 31, 2025, $10.2 million (December 31, 2024 – $5.0 million) had been utilized in the form of letters of credit and letters of guarantee, primarily in respect of exploration contracts with the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy.

Advances under these facilities bear interest at a rate equal to the one month SOFR plus 2.5%. The letters of credit and guarantee bear a fee of 0.6% based on the amounts issued.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had $6.9 million of net deferred income tax assets (December 31, 2024 – $8.5 million) and $154.3 million of net deferred income tax liabilities (December 31, 2024 – $nil) after offsetting deferred income tax assets and liabilities incurred by the same legal entities in the same jurisdictions in its consolidated statements of financial position.

Of the total deferred income tax assets recognized in 2025, $7.8 million (2024 – $6.4 million) is expected to be recovered after more than 12 months. The deferred income tax liabilities of $154.3 million were recognized in 2025 as a result of the acquisition of Adriatic, of which $1.7 million is expected to reverse within the next 12 months, with the remaining balance expected to reverse after more than 12 months.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had Canadian non-capital losses of $236.0 million (December 31, 2024 – $216.0 million) expiring between 2026 and 2045 and Serbian non-capital losses of $109.2 million (December 31, 2024 – $93.0 million) expiring between 2026 and 2030 for which no deferred income tax assets had been recognized. In addition, the Company had Canadian capital losses of $263.7 million (December 31, 2024 – $57.3 million) that do not expire and for which no deferred income tax assets had been recognized.

The Company is subject to assessments by various taxation authorities which may interpret tax legislation and tax filing positions differently than the Company. Such differences are provided for when it is probable that the Company’s filing position will not be upheld and the amount of the tax exposure can be reasonably estimated. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, no provisions have been made in the consolidated financial statements for potential tax liabilities relating to such assessments and interpretations.

(b) Contingencies

The Company is involved in legal proceedings, from time to time, arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is not expected that any material liability will arise from current legal proceedings or have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future business, operations or financial condition.

27. Financial Risk Management

The Company’s principal financial liabilities comprise accounts payable and accrued liabilities . The main purpose of these financial instruments is to assist with the management of the Company’s short term and long term cash flow requirements. The Company has various financial assets, such as cash and accounts receivable, which arise directly from its operations.

The main risks that could adversely affect the Company’s financial assets, liabilities or future cash flows are market risk (which includes commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk), liquidity risk and credit risk. Management reviews each of these risks and establishes policies for managing them as summarized below.

The following discussion also includes a sensitivity analysis that is intended to illustrate the sensitivity to changes in market variables on the Company’s financial instruments and the impact on net earnings (loss) and shareholders’ equity, where applicable. Financial instruments affected by market risk include cash, accounts receivable, investments at fair value, commodity swap contracts, foreign exchange option contracts, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The sensitivity has been prepared using financial assets and liabilities held as at the reporting dates.

The Company has established financial risk management policies to identify and analyze the risks of the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Financial risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees involved in financial risk management activities understand their roles and obligations.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the future cash flows or the fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risks: commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. The impact of each of these components is discussed below.

Commodity price risk

The Company is subject to price risk associated with fluctuations in the market prices for metals. The Company sells its products at prices that are effectively determined by reference to the traded prices on the London Metal Exchange and London Bullion Market. The prices of gold and copper are major factors influencing the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. The Company regularly enters into commodity swap contracts to reduce the price exposure associated with the time lag between the provisional and final determination of its concentrate sales. In addition, the Company periodically enters into commodity swap contracts to reduce the price exposure associated with projected payable copper production.

The Company’s risk management policy, which was approved by the Board of Directors, requires provisional concentrate sales to be fully hedged and permits hedging up to 90%, 85% and 80% of its projected payable copper production in the subsequent 1, 2, and 3 year reporting periods, respectively.

115

DPM Metals Annual Report 2025

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

As at December 31, 2025, the impact of a 5% increase or decrease in metal prices impacting the Company’s accounts receivable, outstanding commodity swap contracts and copper stream liability, with all other variables held constant, would decrease or increase earnings before income taxes from continuing operations by $2.4 million (2024 – $1.9 million) and would decrease or increase equity by $2.4 million (2024 – $1.7 million).

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the future cash flows or fair value of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s cash and floating rate denominated debt and other financial liabilities. As at December 31, 2025, the Company had no debt or floating rate denominated financial liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2025, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates across the yield curve, with all other variables held constant, would increase or decrease earnings before income taxes from continuing operations by $5.0 million (2024 – $5.8 million). The impact on equity is the same as the impact on net earnings from continuing operations.

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s foreign currency exposures arise primarily from a significant portion of its operating and capital costs being denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, the Company’s functional currency. The Company periodically undertakes to purchase, in advance, a portion of its foreign denominated cash flow requirements on a spot or forward basis to reduce this exposure. The Company also enters into foreign exchange option contracts in order to reduce the foreign exchange exposure associated with projected operating expenses and capital expenditures denominated in foreign currencies.

The Company’s risk management policy, which was approved by the Board of Directors, permits up to 85%, 80% and 75% of its projected operating expenses denominated in foreign currency to be hedged in the subsequent 1, 2, and 3 year reporting periods, respectively. The policy also permits projected capital expenditures denominated in foreign currency to be fully hedged.

The following table demonstrates the effect on 2025 and 2024 earnings before income taxes from continuing operations and equity of a 5% appreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to the Company’s key foreign currencies on the Company’s outstanding financial assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, excluding the impact of any hedges and with all other variables held constant. Both the Bulgarian lev and the BAM are pegged to the Euro.

The effect of a 5% depreciation of the U.S. dollar relative to these foreign currencies on the Company’s outstanding foreign denominated financial assets and liabilities, excluding the impact of any hedges and with all other variables held constant, would be to decrease earnings before income taxes from continuing operations and equity by equivalent amounts.

116

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

Credit risk

The exposure to credit risk arises through the potential failure of a customer or another third party to meet its contractual obligations to the Company. During 2025, the Company had contracts with 14 customers in connection with its mining operations, one of whom accounted for approximately 25% (2024 – 38%) of the Company’s revenue from continuing operations. Under the terms of the Company’s concentrate sales contracts, the purchasers make an initial advance payment equal to 70% to 100% of the provisional value of each lot at the time title transfers. This serves to mitigate a portion of the Company’s credit risk.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash, equity investments and derivative financial assets, the Company’s maximum exposure is equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Company limits its counterparty credit risk on these assets by dealing with highly rated counterparties, issuers that are subject to minimum credit ratings, and/or maximum prescribed exposures.

Liquidity risk

The Company relies on the cash flows generated from its operations, including provisional payments received from its customers, retained cash balances, available lines of credit under its RCF and its ability to raise debt and equity from the capital markets to fund its operating, investment and liquidity needs. The cyclical nature of the Company’s businesses and the volatility of capital markets are such that conditions could change dramatically, affecting the Company’s cash flow generating capability, its ability to maintain, or draw upon, its RCF or the existing terms under its concentrate sales and/or smelting agreements, as well as its liquidity, cost of capital and its ability to access new capital, which could adversely affect the Company’s earnings and cash flows and, in turn, could affect total shareholder returns. To reduce these risks, the Company: (i) prepares regular cash flow forecasts to monitor its capital requirements, available liquidity and compliance to debt covenants; (ii) strives to maintain a prudent capital structure that is comprised primarily of equity financing and long-term debt, currently in the form of a committed RCF; and (iii) targets a minimum level of liquidity comprised of surplus cash balances and/or undrawn committed lines of credit to avoid having to raise additional capital at times when the costs or terms would be regarded as unfavourable.

Capital management

The Company’s objective for capital management is to: (i) maintain sufficient levels of liquidity to fund and support its exploration, evaluation, development and operating activities; (ii) maintain a strong financial position and optimize the use of debt and equity to supplement its existing cash balance and free cash flow being used to fund its growth activities; and (iii) comply with all financial covenants set out in its credit agreements and guarantees. See note 13 for discussion on the Company’s compliance with these requirements. The Company monitors its financial position and the potential impact of adverse market conditions on an ongoing basis. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it based on prevailing market conditions and according to its business strategy.

Overall financial leverage is monitored based upon a number of non-financial and financial factors, including a number of credit related ratios contained in DPM’s loan agreements and net debt (defined as total debt less cash and cash equivalents) as a percentage of total capital (defined as total equity plus net debt). As of December 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all loan covenants and its net debt as a percentage of total capital was negative 24% (December 31, 2024 – negative 97%).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated)

The Company had two reportable operating segments – Chelopech and Ada Tepe in Bulgaria. On September 3, 2025, the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of Adriatic, which owns the Vareš operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (note 3) , and as a result, the Company added a third reportable operating segment for the Vareš operation. The nature of their operations, products and services are described in note 1 , Corporate Information . These segments are organized predominantly by the products and services provided to customers and geography of the businesses. The Corporate and Other segment includes corporate, exploration and evaluation and other income and cost items that do not pertain directly to an operating segment. There are no significant inter-segment transactions that have not been eliminated on consolidation.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in note 2.2, Material Accounting Policy Information . Segment performance is evaluated based on several operating and financial measures, including net earnings (loss), which is measured consistently with net earnings (loss) in the consolidated financial statements.

DPM Metals Inc.’s Report under the Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act

This report has been prepared by DPM Metals Inc. (“DPM” or the “Company”) previously known as Dundee Precious Metals Inc. for the financial year ending December 31, 2025, in response to reporting requirements for relevant Canadian companies under Canada’s Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act (the “Act”) and has been organized to address each area specified under the Act’s reporting requirements.

PART 1: Statement of Commitment

Modern slavery continues to affect global supply chains, individuals, and communities. DPM recognizes that companies worldwide share a clear responsibility to reduce and mitigate the risks of forced labour and child labour within their organizations and supply chains.

At DPM, this responsibility begins with our overarching commitment to human rights, embedded in our corporate values, our Code of Business Conduct & Ethics (the “Code”), our Corporate Responsibility Policy, and our Human Rights Standard. These instruments set out specific requirements designed to prevent any form of human rights abuse within our operations or across our supply chain. Our commitments are guided by the standards established in the International Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the United Nations Global Compact, and they are consistent with, or exceed, the requirements of laws, regulations, and standards in the jurisdictions where we operate.

This document constitutes DPM’s third report under the Act and provides an account of the progress made over the past year to prevent and reduce the risks of forced labour and child labour in our operations and supply chains.

Over the past year, DPM continued the due diligence and risk assessment processes described in our 2024 report, available on our website. In 2025, as part of our commitment to continuous improvement, DPM:

  • focused on assessing risks associated with suppliers with whom we have conducted business;

  • performed an updated risk assessment of each country in which our assets are located;

  • • refined our third-party due diligence (“3PDD”) process by which risks associated with third parties in respect of matters including forced labour and child labour are evaluated, as supported by the requirement for third parties to acknowledge adherence to the principles set out in the Code and its supporting policies and standards; and

  • included Modern Slavery provisions in DPM’s third party contract templates used by all sites.

These steps are described in more detail in this 2025 Report.

We remain committed to open and transparent reporting in this area, and to reporting annually on our approach, progress, and challenges.

David Rae President and Chief Executive Officer

PART 2: DPM’s Corporate Structure, Activities and Supply Chains

DPM is a Canadian-based international precious metals mining company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the Australian Stock Exchange. Our operations and projects are located in Bulgaria, Bosnia and Herzegovina (“Bosnia”), Serbia and Ecuador. We operate the Chelopech underground gold-copper mine and the Ada Tepe open-pit gold mine, both in Bulgaria. In September 2025, we completed the acquisition of Adriatic Metals plc and its Vareš operation in Bosnia, an underground mine producing silver-lead-zinc and gold. Reporting on the Vareš site and it’s supply chain will be included in DPM’s 2026 report, following the asset’s full integration into the Company.

DPM also owns the Loma Larga project in Ecuador and the Čoka Rakita project in Serbia and holds interests in a number of other gold exploration properties in various jurisdictions, including Bulgaria, Serbia, and Ecuador. We have embedded principles of responsible business conduct through the adoption of various policies and programs, including our Code, Corporate Responsibility Policy, and Human Rights Standard each described in further detail below.

In 2024, our global workforce encompassed more than 1,500 full-time employees and utilized over 2,500 contractors. Approximately 81% of our total employees were covered by a collective bargaining agreement1.

We continuously monitor the countries in which we operate to identify developments that may give rise to governance, environmental, or social risks, including risks associated with forced labour and child labour. Bulgaria and Bosnia, where we currently operate, together with Serbia and Ecuador, where we have exploration and development projects, present varying levels of exposure and potential for these risks, as detailed below.

Our approach to identifying parts of our business and supply chain that may carry risks of forced labour and child labour—and the steps taken to assess and manage those risks—are informed by country-level and operational-level risk profile assessments. These assessments are designed to identify higher-risk areas, enabling us to prioritize efforts to implement and monitor targeted controls, if required.

As described below, DPM developed an internal risk rating for forced labour and child labour based on a composite assessment of several international human rights and modern slavery indices. Based on this assessment, our current operating assets have been identified as lower risk for forced labour and child labour.

We recognize, however, that risks may also arise within our extended supply chain. As required by the Act, this report outlines the measures taken in 2025 to identify, mitigate, and eliminate the risks of forced labour and/or child labour both within our operations and across our supply chain.

The mining industry’s value chain spans a complex global network. DPM maintains a diverse global supply chain through which we procure a wide range of goods and services to support our exploration, mining, processing, transportation, and corporate activities. Our supply chains are primarily local and regional, with most goods procured from suppliers based in Bulgaria, Serbia, Ecuador, and Canada. The majority of our supplier spending can be generalized into the procurement of goods, construction, operational and technical services and administrative

1 Percentage of total employees covered by collective bargaining agreements DPM wide was 81% in 2024 (2024 Sustainability Data Supplement).

support. Our assessment of forced labour and/or child labour risks within this supply chain is provided in detail in Part 4 of this report.

PART 3: Policies and due diligence processes in relation to forced labor and child labour

Governance

The Sustainability Committee of DPM’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) provides ongoing oversight of the Company’s sustainable development activities to ensure the management of the organization’s environmental and social impacts. A core component of the Sustainability Committee’s mandate is to provide oversight of potential human rights impacts, including forced labour and child labour risks, associated with our business and within the communities where we operate. Composed entirely of independent directors, the Sustainability Committee meets quarterly, including an in-camera session without management present at each meeting.

At the executive level, the Senior Vice President (“SVP”), Sustainable Business Development reports directly to the President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and is responsible for sustainability and human rights at the group level. The Director, Sustainability reports directly to the SVP, Sustainable Business Development and leads DPM’s overall human rights strategy, working across the Executive team and with each site to integrate human rights management throughout the Company’s operations and functional areas.

The Chief Operating Officer, reporting to the President and CEO, has direct oversight of leadership at each site and their respective teams that manages human rights-related risks throughout their operations and supply chains.

The Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), who also reports to the President and CEO, is accountable for the Company’s supply chain activities, while the Vice-President, Supply Chain & Technology, reporting to the CFO, has direct oversight of the Company’s supply chain systems, processes and controls.

Further, the Executive Vice President, Corporate Affairs & General Counsel, reporting to the President and CEO, oversees DPM’s 3PDD program administered by their direct report, the Director, Legal & Compliance, who ensures the appropriate level of supplier pre-qualification and due diligence assessments, including human rights, are performed on potential and current inscope suppliers.

Policies and due diligence

When we conduct business the right way, we build trust with one another and with all external stakeholders. The Code, established by DPM’s Board, sets out the principles and commitments that guide the Company’s conduct. The Code affirms our expectation that business is conducted with respect for the human rights of all individuals affected by our activities. It reflects our values, articulates our expectations, and serves as a resource to support sound decision-making.

The Code applies to everyone who works for DPM, including employees and members of our Board, as well as to third parties—such as suppliers—who work with us or on our behalf and are contractually required to comply with the Code. We expect all third parties that do business with DPM to adhere to principles consistent with those set out in the Code and align with our core values. In addition, our supplier contracts include provisions requiring compliance with applicable local laws and regulations, as well as relevant professional standards. During 2025, the

Company introduced modern slavery provisions into its form contract templates used by each site and corporate office.

Our Code expressly references our Corporate Responsibility Policy, which outlines our commitment to managing the Company’s impacts across all areas of our business. This includes conducting our activities in a manner that respects human rights and striving to avoid contributing to adverse human rights impacts, including child and forced labour. The policy specifies that DPM, its employees, and members of the Board are expected to understand the Company’s impact and influence across the entire value chain and, wherever possible, apply responsible business practices to sourcing and materials stewardship.

To operationalize our policy commitments, we have developed a Human Rights Standard that sets out the minimum requirements with which all sites must comply, including specific provisions related to forced and child labour. The standard is informed by the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, including guidance on forced labour and child labour.

Our Human Rights Standard applies to everyone who works for DPM, including all employees and members of the Board. It also applies to certain third-party suppliers who have contractually committed to complying with our policies and standards, and it sets the expectation that all third parties, i.e., anyone who does business with DPM, including suppliers, adhere to principles consistent with those outlined in the standard.

We currently utilize a comprehensive, risk-based 3PDD process designed to manage bribery, corruption, reputational, and sanctions compliance risks. The 3PDD process informs us of the measures we take to engage suppliers on compliance with the Code. As part of the 3PDD process, we require third parties to acknowledge adherence to the principles set out in our Code and its supporting policies, including the Human Rights Standard. Throughout 2025 we regularly reviewed, evaluated and enhanced the 3PDD process.

PART 4: The parts of DPM’s business and supply chain that carry a risk of forced labor or child labour, and the steps taken to assess and manage that risk.

Human Rights risk assessment - DPM assets

Each of DPM’s assets and corporate offices were determined to have a lower risk profile for forced labour and child labour through the Company’s previous internal human rights assessments. The Company will continue to monitor and determine the appropriate timing for a subsequent human rights due diligence assessment across our operations and projects.

During 2025, however, we did conduct an updated risk assessment for each country in which our assets are located to better contextualize and understand the potential for human rights impacts and vulnerabilities related to forced labour and child labour. These country-specific assessments also considered additional governance indicators—such as rule of law, political stability, levels of corruption, and the presence of conflict-affected areas—as well as environmental factors, including climate change and ecosystem health, that could exacerbate human rights and labour rights issues.

Based on this assessment, we consider the risk of forced labour and child labour to be low.

- Human Rights risk assessment DPM Suppliers

Building on our initial 2023 supplier human rights risk assessment, we continued to apply a riskbased approach, focused on assessing only those suppliers with whom we transacted during the 2025 reporting period. This approach involved classifying procured products and services into industry categories to identify potential sector-specific risks, in addition to evaluating each supplier’s country-of-origin risk potential. The following sections present the results of this analysis.

Sector Risk

Following a detailed desktop evaluation of our supplier base which involved referencing credible sources of information regarding the risks of forced labour and child labour, and then subsequently evaluating where our operations and supply chain could be exposed to those risks, we identified the following sector categories and associated goods and services as potentially presenting higher risks for forced labour and/or child labour:

- Country of Origin Risk DPM Suppliers

In addition to assessing sector-specific risks, we evaluated the countries of origin of our Tier 1 suppliers for their potential human rights impacts (which includes, but is broader than, risks related to forced labour and child labour) 3. This evaluation produced an internally developed risk rating based on a composite assessment of several international human rights and modern slavery indices referenced in footnote 2.

Our 2025 assessment indicates that 60.5% of our Tier 1 suppliers are located in countries with a lower inherent risk rating for human rights violations, while 39.5% are located in countries with a medium inherent risk rating for human rights violations.

2025 DPM Supplier Country of Origin Risk Level 2025 DPM Supplier Country of Origin Risk Level 2025 DPM Supplier Country of Origin Risk Level

PART 5: Measures taken to remediate instances of forced labor or child labor, including measures taken to compensate vulnerable families for any loss of income.

Access to Remedy

We have several outlets for employees, stakeholders, communities, suppliers, and workers in the extended supply chain to report concerns and access remedies around human rights, including those related to the risks of forced labour and child labour.

As part of DPM’s Speak-Up process, we provide for a third party hotline, which is a publicly available mechanism to report any misconduct contrary to the provisions of the Code and its related policies, including human rights violations. In addition, across our sites, we also have implemented grievance mechanisms accessible to our stakeholders and communities so that we may receive and address complaints or grievances in an expedited and transparent manner. These processes are available to workers in our extended supply chain to report on risks

associated with forced labour and child labour and are publicly available on our website for everyone to access.

We have four reporting channels, as part of the Speak-Up process, including the EthicsPoint hotline, operated by an independent third party-provider, which allows for anonymous reporting of misconduct and ethical concerns. Reports submitted through the hotline are referred to the Corporate Compliance Officer (except when the Corporate Compliance Officer is personally implicated or the reports implicate a member of the executive committee, or a member of the Board, in which case the report is appropriately escalated) and to the appropriate Board Committee Chair, depending on the nature of the report. The Board receives quarterly updates on Speak-Up reports received and the status of investigations, if any, and Committee Chairs discuss the reports at their respective meetings. DPM’s Code specifically includes protection from retaliation for anyone who files a report, raises a concern, or participates in an investigation in good faith. Our most recent disclosure on Speak Up reports received in 2024 is described in our 2024 Sustainability Report.

At the site level, we have also provided a local grievance mechanism to receive human rights grievances with the intention of transparent and expeditious resolution, and, at all times, we do not retaliate against anyone who submits a complaint.

The Company did not receive any Speak Up reports or grievances related to forced labour or child labour and has not changed its business relationships as a result of our due diligence efforts relating to forced labour or child labour in 2025 and as such, has no measures to report with respect to remediation.

PART 6: Modern slavery awareness training compliance for employees

Our Human Rights Standard mandates the provision of human rights training at all DPM sites. While employees receive training in good governance practices—such as anti-bribery, anticorruption, and workplace harassment—that help prevent and mitigate human rights risks, we recognize the need to provide updated, targeted training across our operations to specifically address the risks of forced labour and child labour within our supply chains.

As noted in our previous report, comprehensive human rights training was delivered in Ecuador in 2023; updated training was also provided for Ecuador personnel in 2025 regarding risk evaluation and interactions with stakeholders on potential human rights violations in line with international frameworks. In 2024 and 2025 we continued conducting our ongoing training on the Code and the 3PDD process throughout the Company.

PART 7: How DPM assesses its effectiveness in ensuring that forced and child labor are not being used across its business and supply chains

Effectiveness

Our EthicsPoint hotline and grievance mechanisms provide channels for receiving concerns related to actual or perceived human rights impacts among our employees, communities, and suppliers.
