Stream Financing

The Company and its 100%-owned subsidiary, Generation PGM, entered into a definitive Precious Metal Purchase Agreement ("PMPA") with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton") with respect to the Marathon Project dated January 26, 2022, which has subsequently been amended.

Pursuant to the PMPA, Wheaton will pay the Company total upfront cash consideration of $240,000,000, $40,000,000 of which was paid ($20,000,000 on March 31, 2022 ("First Early Deposit") and $20,000,000 on September 7, 2022) on an early deposit basis prior to construction to be used for development of the Marathon Project. The remainder of $200,000,000 is payable in four staged instalments during construction (each a "Construction Payment"), subject to various customary conditions being satisfied. Generation Mining and its subsidiary, Generation PGM, have provided Wheaton a first ranking security interest over all their assets and various time sensitive performance guarantees relating to the development of the Project.

Under the PMPA, Wheaton will purchase 100% of the payable gold production until 150 thousand ounces ("koz") have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 67% of payable gold production for the life of the mine; and 22% of the payable platinum production until 120 koz have been delivered, thereafter dropping to 15% for the life of the mine.

Wheaton will make ongoing payments for the gold and platinum ounces delivered equal to 18% of the spot prices ("Production Payment") until the value of gold and platinum delivered less the Production Payment is equal to the upfront consideration of $240,000,000, at which point the Production Payment will increase to 22% of the spot price.

The term of the agreement is 20 years, renewable at Wheaton's election for an additional 10 years.

From the first anniversary date of the First Early Deposit until the first Construction Payment, the Company will be subject to a delay payment of 250 ounces of gold per month plus accrued interest ("Delay Ounce Balance"). At Generation PGM's election, the Delay Ounce Balance is payable in gold deliveries from operations or in cash. The full Delay Ounce Balance will be subject to early repayment if certain triggering events occur, including (a) events of default, (b) no Construction Payment has been advanced by March 31, 2027, (c) Completion (as defined in the PMPA) of the Marathon Project is not achieved within 4 years from the first Construction Payment, and (d) the date that is one year after Completion is achieved.

Senior Secured Facility

On May 2, 2023, the Company executed a mandate letter to arrange a senior secured project finance facility (the "Mandate") to fund the construction and development of the Marathon Project. A syndicate including Export Development Canada ("EDC"), together with ING Capital LLC ("ING") and Societe Generale S.A. ("Societe Generale"), will act as the Mandated Lead Arrangers ("MLAs"). The formal Mandate includes a non-binding indicative term sheet (the "Term Sheet") for a senior debt facility of up to US$400 million (the "Facility"). Closing of the Facility remains subject to completion of final due diligence in form and substance satisfactory to the MLAs, including technical, environmental, and metal market due diligence; negotiating an appropriate cost overrun facility; determining final debt capacity; final credit approvals and execution of definitive Facility documentation. The definitive Facility documentation will include customary project finance terms and conditions, as well as a comprehensive intercreditor agreement. Drawdowns under the Facility would be subject to customary conditions precedent.

In late July 2025, the Company restarted due diligence with the MLAs who have engaged an Independent Engineer, Independent Environmental and Social Consultant, and commissioned an Independent Market Report. On October 4, 2025 the Company extended the Mandate letter to November 1, 2027.

On May 23, 2025, the Company announced the receipt of a support letter from a leading Canadian financial institution stating its interest to provide up to $200 million in a new long-term credit facility for the Marathon Project, which would be in addition to the senior secured project finance facility note above.

Investments in Associate

On November 15, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Moon River Capital Ltd., now renamed Moon River Moly Ltd. (“Moon River”) which is a company located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Company sold its rights and interests in an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Davidson Property hosting a molybdenum-tungsten deposit for $630,000 in cash and 9 million common shares of Moon River (“MR Shares”) valued at $0.25 for total proceeds of $2,880,000. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company held 27.0% and 27.3%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding common shares of Moon River.

The MR Shares are subject to certain sale restrictions if Generation holds 10% or greater of the issued and outstanding common shares of Moon River. The sale restrictions are as follows: 1) Moon River will have the option to identify the buyer of the MR Shares until November 15, 2025, and 2) Generation will be restricted from open market sales based on certain historical daily volume averages of Moon River common shares. The MR Shares are also subject to TSX.V escrow conditions whereby the shares will be released from escrow as follows: 900,000 shares November 15, 2023 (released); 1,350,000 shares on each of May 15, 2024 (released), November 15, 2024 (released), May 15, 2025 (released), November 15, 2025 (released), May 15, 2026, and November 15, 2026. Generation has appointed a director to the Board of Moon River and will have the right to maintain its pro rata equity interest for as long as it continues to hold greater than 10% of the issued and outstanding common shares.

As a result of Generation’s 27.3% and 27.0% interest in Moon River as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2025, the Company has determined that it has significant influence over Moon River and has accounted for its investment as an Investment in Associate using the equity basis of accounting. The Company recorded a fair value of $2,200,000 for its investment upon initial recognition. Fair Value was estimated based on the Moon River share price of $0.25 for the financing completed concurrently with the closing, less transaction costs of $50,000.

As at December 31, 2025, the closing price of Moon River shares (MOO.V) was $0.76, and the fair value of the 9 million shares was $6,840,000.

Changes in the investment in associate for the year ended December 31, 2025, were as follows:

Balance as at December 31, 2023 $ 2,104,679
Share of Moon River net loss for the year (700,304)
Balance as at December 31, 2024 $ 1,404,375

Management's Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

Generation's operating losses are driven mainly by the extent and cost of the Company's acquisition, evaluation and exploration activities. The significant changes over the most recent eight completed quarters are outlined below.

  • Acquisition and evaluation expenditures have decreased from a high of approximately $2.6 million during the first quarter of 2024 to approximately $0.8 million during the third quarter of 2025. Expenditures fluctuate based on the work contracted during the period and have been generally decreasing during the period due to the completion of the feasibility study in 2024.
  • General and administrative expenses have been consistently decreasing as the Company focused on reducing expenditures until Q3 2025 when it restarted the project finance process.
  • Share-based payments are a non-cash item and fluctuates period to period depending on the number of equity awards vested.
  • Loss from investment in associate and gain on disposition of property relate to the sale of the Davidson Property to Moon River. See Investment in Associate of this MD&A for further details.
  • Fair value gain and loss on the financial liability relate to the fair value adjustments of the financial liability associated with the stream arrangement. See Project Financing – Phase 1 Stream Financing section of this MD&A for further detail.

LIQUIDITY

The Company relies on equity, metal streams, and potentially debt or other structured financings to fund its acquisition, evaluation, and exploration activities, cover administrative expenses, and to meet its obligations as they become due.

Comparable to many exploration and early-stage development companies, the Company relies on financings to fund its exploration, development and acquisition activities. The Company had a working capital surplus of $7,253,781 at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 surplus - $3,045,105); had not yet achieved profitable operations; had accumulated losses of $164,291,714 at December 31, 2025; (December 31, 2024 - $136,208,661); and expects to incur further losses in the development of its business.

The Company's main source of liquidity is its cash. These funds are primarily used to finance working capital, exploration and evaluation expenditures, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring its cash flows from operating activities and holding adequate amounts of cash. Cash is held on deposit in guaranteed investment certificates with a major Canadian chartered bank. The Company has also made financial commitments which are outlined elsewhere in this MD&A.

Cash used in operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $6,469,548 compared with $10,179,651 in the same period in 2024. The cash used in operations in both periods relates mainly to the acquisition, exploration and evaluation of the Marathon Property, and corresponding expenditures in audit, legal and advisory fees, investor communications expenses, general and administrative expenses.

Cash used in investing activities was $nil during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $23,517 in the same period in 2024. Cash used in investing activities in the prior year was for the purchase of equipment.

Cash provided from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2025 amounted to $10,980,352 in net proceeds primarily from a private placement completed during the current year, compared to cash used in financing activities of $729,508 in the prior year.

June 2025 Financing

On June 24, 2025, Generation completed a private placement for aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $11.5 million (the "Offering"). The Offering was conducted by a syndicate of underwriters led by Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., and including Haywood Securities Inc., and consisted of the sale of 31,082,200 Units at a price of $0.37 per Unit. Each Unit was comprised of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half (½) of one common share purchase warrant. Each whole Warrant is exercisable to acquire one Common Share at a price of $0.48 for a period of 36 months at any time from August 24, 2025 until August 24, 2028.

The net proceeds to the Company from the June 2025 Offering were approximately $10.7 million after deducting the payment of fees and expenses. The table below sets out the proposed use of proceeds from

CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company does not have any debt or credit facilities with financial institutions.

At present, the Company’s operations do not generate cash in-flows and its financial success is dependent on management’s ability to discover economically viable mineral deposits. The mineral exploration process can take many years and is subject to factors that are beyond the Company’s control. To finance the Company’s exploration programs, detailed engineering, environmental assessment and to cover administrative and overhead expenses, the Company raises money through equity, debt and metal stream financings. Many factors influence the Company’s ability to raise funds, including the health of the resource market, the climate for mineral exploration investment, the Company’s track record, and the experience and caliber of its management. Actual funding requirements may vary from those planned due to a number of factors, including the progress of exploration and development activities.

Management believes it will be able to raise capital as required in the long term but recognizes there will be risks involved that may be beyond their control. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient financing, it may need to scale back its intended operational programs and its other expenses. Other than as discussed herein, the Company is not aware of any trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties that may result in its liquidity either materially increasing or decreasing at present or in the foreseeable future, other than general market conditions, which are uncertain for junior exploration companies. Material increases or decreases in the Company’s liquidity will be substantially determined by the success or failure of its exploration and development programs, as well as its continued ability to raise capital.

The stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs, PSUs and DSUs for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $1,453,589 (December 31, 2024 – $906,734).

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

The Company manages its exposure to a number of different financial risks arising from operations as well as from the use of financial instruments, including market risks (foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk, through its risk management strategy. The objective of the strategy is to support the delivery of the Company's financial targets while protecting its future financial security and flexibility. Financial risks are primarily managed and monitored through operating and financing activities. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments. The financial risks are evaluated regularly with due consideration to changes in key economic indicators and up-to-date market information. The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the financial risk of non-performance of a contracted counter party. The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and receivables. The Company reduces its credit risk by maintaining its cash with a Canadian chartered bank. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk as at December 31, 2025 is the carrying value of cash and receivables. The credit risk on receivables is deemed low as the majority is related to GIC interest receivable and federal government refunds.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk encompasses the risk that the Company cannot meet its financial obligations in full. The Company's main source of liquidity is its cash. These funds are primarily used to finance working capital, exploration and evaluation expenditures, capital expenditures, and acquisitions. The Company manages its liquidity risk by regularly monitoring its cash flows used in operating activities and holding adequate amounts of cash. As at December 31, 2025, the Company has current assets of $10,559,647 (December 31, 2024 - $6,001,435) to cover current liabilities of $3,305,866 (December 31, 2024 - $2,956,330). The current assets include cash and cash equivalents, receivables, prepaid expenses and security deposits. The Company also manages liquidity risk on the basis of expected maturity dates. The following table analyzes financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturity (contractual and undiscounted cash flows).

Undiscounted lease liability – base contract Accounts payable and accrued liabilities Total
Less than 1 year $ 1,299,998 $ 2,167,813 $ 3,467,811
1-5 years 122,285 - 122,285
Balance at December 31, 2025 $ 1,422,283 $ 2,167,813 $ 3,590,096

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss that may arise from changes in market factors such as interest rate, foreign exchange rates, and commodity and equity prices affecting its cash and cash equivalents, and receivables.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of a change in foreign exchange rates. The Company has no significant exposure to foreign currency exchange risk as it has no significant transaction balances denominated in a foreign currency.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk borne by an interest-bearing asset or liability as a result of fluctuations in interest rates. The Company has no significant exposure to interest rate risk as it has no material interest bearing assets or liabilities. Lease liabilities are calculated using a fixed rate and therefore, there is no significant risk.

Other Price Risk

Other price risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.

Precious Metal Purchase Agreement Fair Value Risk

The Company has a Precious Metal Purchase Agreement ("PMPA") with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton"). The Company is subject to movements in the fair value measurement of the financial liability. The movements in fair value during the period can be material.

Fair Value

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lease liabilities are considered to be representative of their fair value due to their short-term nature.

Financial liability associated with the Company’s precious metal purchase agreement is recorded at fair value and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as some of the inputs do not have observable or corroborated market data. The fair value of the stream obligation is calculated using the risk-free interest rate derived from the Bank of Canada long term treasury rate, consensus metal prices, company specific credit spread based on various debt term sheets received and expected gold and platinum ounces to be delivered from the current life of mine plan for the Marathon Project.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As at December 31, 2025, the Company did not have any off-balance sheet items.

DIVIDENDS

The Company has neither declared nor paid any dividends on its common shares. The Company intends to retain its earnings, if any, to finance growth and expand its operation and therefore does not anticipate paying any dividends on its common shares in the foreseeable future.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are continually 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 may differ materially from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are generally recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised.

Management’s significant judgments, estimates and assumptions are disclosed in note 3 of the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The Company’s accounting policies are disclosed in note 3 of the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

NON-IFRS MEASURES

The Company has included certain financial measures in this news release, including initial capital cost, preproduction revenues, operating costs, AISC, and Pre-Tax and After-Tax Cash Flows, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning. These non-IFRS financial measures are included in this document because these statistics are measures that management will use to monitor future financial performance, and to plan and assess the overall effectiveness and efficiency of future mining operations. The Company does not have historical non-IFRS financial measures nor historical comparable measures under IFRS, and therefore the foregoing prospective non-IFRS financial measures may not be reconciled to the nearest comparable measures under IFRS. Non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore, they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data presented is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

Non-IFRS performance measures used herein are defined as follows:

  • Initial Capital includes all costs incurred from the effective date of the 2025 FS (excluding historical sunk costs) until the point where commercial production is achieved, including expenses related to engineering, equipment purchases and installation, process plant and mine infrastructure construction, and any other costs associated with putting the Project into operations.
  • Preproduction Revenue includes revenue generated until commercial production is achieved, net of related off-site costs (transport, smelter, and royalties) and working capital adjustments. See Economic Analysis, above, for additional information on the metal price assumptions used in the 2025 FS for calculating revenues
  • Operating Costs includes mining, processing, general and administrative and other, concentrate transportation costs, treatment and refining charges, and royalties. Costs related to the Wheaton PMPA are excluded.
  • AISC includes Operating Costs, closure and reclamation costs, and sustaining capital. Costs related to the Wheaton PMPA are not included.
  • Pre-tax Cash Flow includes total revenue less Operating Costs, working capital adjustments, equipment financing, initial capital, sustaining capital, and closure costs. Costs related to the Wheaton PMPA are included.
  • After-tax Cash Flow includes Pre-tax Cash Flow less income taxes payable.

The Marathon Project is a polymetallic deposit. For purposes of estimating the Company’s anticipated costs and future financial performance, the Company discloses certain financial measures herein based on estimates of future palladium equivalent (“PdEq”) and copper equivalent (“CuEq”) metal production. The Company’s estimated PdEq and CuEq are calculated using the payable metals estimates derived from the Company’s LOM, as follows:

  • Palladium Equivalent ounces uses the formula $PdEq\ oz = Pd\ oz + (Cu\ lb \times 4.00\ US\$/lb + Pt\ oz \times US\$950/oz + Au\ oz \times US\$2000/oz + Ag\ oz \times US\$24.00/oz) / US\$1525\ Pd/oz.$
  • Copper Equivalent pounds uses the formula $CuEq\ lbs = Cu\ lbs + (Pd\ oz \times US\$1,525/oz + Pt\ oz \times US\$950/oz + Au\ oz \times US\$2000/oz + Ag\ oz \times US\$24.00/oz) / US\$4.00\ Cu/lb.$

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”), which is intended to give investors more transparent and comparable information about companies’ financial performance, thereby enabling better investment decisions. IFRS 18 introduces new sets of requirements to improve companies’ reporting of financial performance and give investors a better basis for analyzing and comparing companies through:

  • Improved comparability in the statement of income;
  • Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures; and

35

GENERATIONMINING

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

  • More useful grouping of information in the financial statements.

IFRS 18 also requires companies to provide more transparency about operating expenses, helping investors to find and understand the information they need. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, but companies can apply it earlier. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1, however, it carries forward many requirements from IAS 1 unchanged. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact upon adoption of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures

In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to the classification and measurement requirements in IFRS 9. The amendments will address diversity in accounting practice by making the requirements more understandable and consistent. These include:

  • Clarifying the classification and assessment of contractual cash flows of financial assets including those arising from environmental, social and corporate governance ("ESG")-linked features.
  • Settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems - the amendments clarify the date on which a financial asset or financial liability is derecognized. The IASB also decided to develop an accounting policy option to allow a company to derecognize a financial liability before it delivers cash on the settlement date if specified criteria are met.

With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency for investors regarding investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features, for example features tied to ESG-linked targets. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The Company expects no impact upon adoption of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company are responsible for designing internal controls over financial reporting or causing them to be designed under their supervision in order to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. The Company’s internal control framework was designed based on the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

There was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all relevant information required to be disclosed by the Company is accumulated and communicated to senior management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded, based on their evaluation of the design of the disclosure controls and procedures, that as of December 31, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls, and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information is made known to them by others within the Company.

LIMITATIONS OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and President and Chief Financial Officer, believe that any internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed, can have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The operations of the Company are speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business, which is the acquisition, financing, exploration and development of mining properties. The risk of financial resources has been further amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic which had a significant impact on global economies and financial markets resulting in supply chain delays, inflationary pressures and fluctuations in commodity prices. Should depressed market conditions continue, it may be difficult or impossible for the Company to obtain the required financing to complete its objectives. Failure to obtain financing could result in delay or postponement of further development of the Company’s Marathon Project and other properties. These risk factors could materially affect the Company’s future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking information relating to the Company. Accordingly, any investment in securities of the Company is speculative and investors should not invest in securities of the Company unless they can afford to lose their entire investment.

The Company has no history of earnings, has earned no revenue since commencing operations and has


37

GENERATIONMINING

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

no source of operating cash flow. As a result, the Company may be required to seek additional sources of debt and equity financing in the near future. Although the Company has been successful to date in financing its activities through the sale of equity securities and the Wheaton PMPA, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate financing in the future or that the commercial terms of such financing will be favourable. To obtain such financing, the Company may sell additional securities including, but not limited to, the Company’s shares or some form of convertible security, the effect of which could result in substantial dilution to the equity interests of the Company’s shareholders. The Company may also sell a part of its interest in an asset in order to raise capital.

International conflicts and other geopolitical tensions and 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 supply chains. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 has led to sanctions being levied against Russia by the international community and may result in additional sanctions or other international action, any of which may have a destabilizing effect on commodity prices, supply chains and global economies more broadly. In February 2026, Israel and the United States launched airstrikes on multiple sites and cities across Iran, killing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and numerous other Iranian officials. Iran responded with missile and drone strikes against Israel, US bases, and US-allied countries in the Middle East. This has resulted in a significant increase in tension in the region and may have far reaching effects on the global economy. Volatility in commodity prices and supply chain disruptions may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The extent and duration of the current conflicts in the Ukraine and Israel and related international action cannot be accurately predicted at this time and the effects of such conflict may magnify the impact of the other risks identified in this MD&A, including those relating to commodity price volatility and global financial conditions. The outcome of these conflicts is uncertain, and these conflicts may escalate and may result in escalated tensions within and outside of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, respectively. This could result in significant disruption of supplies of oil and natural gas from the region and could cause a significant worldwide supply shortage of oil and natural gas and have a significant impact on worldwide prices of oil and natural gas. A lack of supply of energy and high prices of oil and natural gas could have a significant adverse impact on the world economy. The situation is rapidly changing and unforeseeable impacts, including on the Company’s shareholders and counterparties on which the Company relies and transacts with, may materialize and may have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and trading price of the common shares.

In recent years, global financial markets have been characterized by extreme volatility impacting many industries, including the mining industry. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to future economic shocks, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. A sudden or prolonged slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to, consumer spending, employment rates, business

conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Company’s growth and profitability. Future economic shocks may be precipitated by a number of causes, including, but not limited to, material changes in the price of oil and other commodities, the volatility of metal prices, governmental policies, geopolitical instability, war, terrorism, the devaluation and volatility of global stock markets and natural disasters. 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 favorable to the Company or at all. In such an event, the Company’s operations and financial condition could be adversely impacted.

INFORMATION CONCERNING ESTIMATES OF MINERAL RESERVES AND RESOURCES

The Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates in this MD&A have been disclosed in accordance with NI 43-101, which differs from the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and information with respect to mineralization and Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources contained herein may not be comparable to similar information disclosed by U.S. companies. The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure rules to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These amendments became effective February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”) with compliance required for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. Under the SEC Modernization Rules, the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants included in Industry Guide 7 under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will be rescinded and replaced with disclosure requirements in subpart 1300 of SEC Regulation S-K. As a result of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Rules, the SEC now recognizes estimates of “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources.” In addition, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Proven Mineral Reserves” and “Probable Mineral Reserves” to be “substantially similar” to the corresponding standards under NI 43-101. While the SEC will now recognize “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources”, U.S. investors should not assume that any part or all of the mineralization in these categories will ever be converted into a higher category of Mineral Resources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described using these terms has a greater amount of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterized as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that any Measured Mineral Resources, Indicated Mineral Resources, or Inferred Mineral Resources that the Company reports are or will be economically or legally


41

GENERATIONMINING

Management’s Discussion and Analysis

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025

mineable. Further, “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a greater amount of uncertainty as to their existence and as to whether they can be mined legally or economically. Therefore, U.S. investors are also cautioned not to assume that all or any part of the “Inferred Mineral Resources” exist. There is no assurance that any Mineral Reserves or Mineral Resources that the Company may report as “Proven Mineral Reserves”, “Probable Mineral Reserves”, “Measured Mineral Resources”, “Indicated Mineral Resources” and “Inferred Mineral Resources” under NI 43-101 would be the same had the Company prepared the Reserve or Resource Estimates under the standards adopted under the SEC Modernization Rules.

Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves, and do not have demonstrated economic viability, but do have reasonable prospects for economic extraction. Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources are sufficiently well defined to allow geological and grade continuity to be reasonably assumed and permit the application of technical and economic parameters in assessing the economic viability of the Mineral Resource. Inferred Mineral Resources are estimated on limited information not sufficient to verify geological and grade continuity or to allow technical and economic parameters to be applied. Inferred Mineral Resources are too speculative geologically to have economic considerations applied to them to enable them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that Mineral Resources of any classification can be upgraded to Mineral Reserves through continued exploration.

The Company’s Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource figures are estimates and the Company can provide no assurances that the indicated levels of mineral will be produced or that the Company will receive the price assumed in determining its Mineral Reserves. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based on knowledge, mining experience, analysis of drilling results and industry practices. Valid estimates made at a given time may significantly change when new information becomes available. While the Company believes that these Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates are well established and the best estimates of the Company’s management, by their nature Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates are imprecise a depend, to a certain extent, upon analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences which may ultimately prove unreliable. If the Company’s Mineral Reserve or Mineral Reserve Estimates are inaccurate or are reduced in the future, this could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results or operations and financial condition.

The Company estimates the future mine life of the Marathon Project. The Company can give no assurance that its mine life estimate will be achieved. Failure to achieve this estimate could have an adverse impact on the Company’s future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.
