Hemlo Mining Corp.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated

  1. Nature of operations

Hemlo Mining Corp. ("Hemlo" or the "Company") was formed by the amalgamation of Carcetti Capital Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, 17276583 Canada Ltd., pursuant to Articles of Amalgamation filed under the Canada Business Corporations Act on November 27, 2025. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the results and financial position of Carcetti Capital Corp. up to November 27, 2025.

The Company is principally engaged in the production and sale of gold, as well as related activities such as mine development and exploration. The Company operates the Hemlo Gold Mine ("Hemlo Mine") located in Bomby Township, in northwestern Ontario, Canada. On November 26, 2025, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, 1554943 B.C. Ltd., completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of 1539041 B.C. ULC (the "Hemlo Acquisition") from certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of Barrick Mining Corporation ("Barrick"). 1539041 B.C. ULC held all of the shares of DB Operating Corporation and Williams Operating Corporation, mining rights related to the Hemlo Mine, and contracts that related exclusively to Hemlo Mine operations. Upon the closing of the Hemlo Acquisition, 1554943 B.C. Ltd. amalgamated with 1539041 B.C. ULC. On April 2, 2026, 1554943 B.C. Ltd. was continued as an Ontario corporation and changed its name to Hemlo Mining Operating Corp. ("HMOC"). The Company, through HMOC, wholly-owns the Hemlo Mine.

The address of the Company's registered office is 1200 Waterfront Centre, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6C 3L6. The address of the Company's principal place of business is 390 Bay Street, Suite 1720, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5H 2Y2. The Company's common shares are listed on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") under the symbol "HMMC" and are traded on the OTCQX® Best Market under the symbol "HMMCF".

  1. Basis of preparation

a. Statement of compliance

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS Accounting Standards") applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements under International Accounting Standards 34, Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS Accounting Standards for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 20, 2026.

c. Change in accounting policy and adoption of amended accounting standards

Presentation and functional currency

As at December 31, 2025, the Company changed its presentation currency from CAD to USD. The change in presentation currency enhances comparability of the Company's financial results against its peers. The change in presentation currency is an accounting policy change and has been applied retrospectively with comparative figures restated for all periods presented as if the policy had always been applied, in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes In Accounting Estimates And Errors.

On November 26, 2025, the Company changed its functional currency from CAD to USD to reflect that USD has become the predominant currency in the Company, accounting for a significant part of the Company's cash flows, cash management and financing. The change in functional currency was applied prospectively from the date of change in accordance with IAS 21, The Effects Of Changes In Foreign Exchange Rates. The functional currency of each of the Company's subsidiaries is measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate. The functional currency of the Company's subsidiaries is USD.

Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments ("IFRS 9") and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures ("IFRS 7")

The Company adopted Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) on January 1, 2026. The amendments clarify the timing of recognition and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities and introduce an exception permitting the derecognition of certain financial liabilities prior to the settlement date when cash settlement occurs through qualifying electronic payment systems. Under these amendments, an entity may elect to derecognize financial liabilities settled in cash through qualifying electronic payment systems when it no longer has the practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction and the applicable eligibility criteria are met. As a result, certain financial liabilities and the associated cash balances may be derecognized earlier than under the previous policy.

The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the periods presented.

3. Material accounting policies, estimates and judgements

Except as disclosed above, the accounting policies, estimates and judgements applied in these interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those set out in Notes 3 and 4 of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

The standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements that the Company reasonably expects will have an impact on its disclosures, financial position or performance when applied at a future date, are disclosed below. The Company intends to adopt the standard when they become effective. Other standards and interpretations that are issued, but not yet effective, which are not expected to impact the Company have not been listed.

Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements ("IFRS 18")

In April 2024, IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements was issued to replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statement. IFRS 18 aims to achieve comparability of the financial performance of similar entities and introduces the following key new requirements:


Hemlo Mining Corp.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated

  • All income and expenses must be classified into five categories on the income statement: operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations, and income tax.
  • A newly defined subtotal for operating profit is required, though net income will remain unchanged.
  • Management-defined performance measures must be disclosed together in a single note to the financial statements.
  • The standard provides enhanced guidance on how to aggregate and present information in the financial statements.
  • Entities using the indirect method for the statement of cash flows must start with the new operating profit subtotal.

IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the new standard.

Total gold stream liability $ 297,288 $ 302,805

On November 24, 2025, the Company entered into a Precious Metals Purchase Agreement ("Streaming Arrangement") with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("Wheaton"), whereby the Company received an upfront payment of $300.0 million in exchange for delivery of a portion of future gold production ("Stream Percentage"), subject to certain deductions, as outlined below:

  • 10.125% of payable gold until a total of 135,750 gold ounces have been delivered ("First Dropdown Threshold");
  • 6.75% of payable gold until a further total of 117,998 gold ounces have been delivered ("Second Dropdown Threshold"); and
  • 4.50% of payable gold thereafter.

The payable gold will be reduced by half with respect to gold production from certain claims comprising the Interlake deposit (which is subject to a 50% NPI). Payable gold is calculated using a fixed payable factor of 99.95%.

In addition to the up-front payment, Wheaton will pay the Company cash equal to 20% of the market price of gold for each gold delivery.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company delivered 4,478 ounces of gold to Wheaton (2025: nil ounces) and recorded revenue of $17.1 million (2025: $nil), consisting of $4.4 million (2025: $nil) received in cash proceeds and $12.7 million (2025: $nil) recorded as a reduction of gold stream liability.

10. Contingent consideration

The Contingent Consideration represents contingent cash payments over a five-year term from January 1, 2027 to December 31, 2031. The Company is required to make annual payments to Barrick based on three incremental pricing thresholds:

  1. 20.0% of incremental revenue per ounce of payable gold production at or above $3,300/oz but less than $3,500/oz;
  2. 22.5% of incremental revenue per ounce of payable gold production at or above $3,500/oz but less than $3,700/oz; and
  3. 25.0% of incremental revenue per ounce of payable gold production at or above $3,700/oz.

The maximum cumulative amount payable under the Contingent Consideration is $165.0 million.


Hemlo Mining Corp.

Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, unless otherwise stated

The Company estimated the fair value of the Contingent Consideration using a Monte-Carlo simulation model based on the gold forward curve, expected volatility of 22% (2025 - 20%), the Company's credit spread of 1% (2025 - 1%), risk-free rate of 4% (2025 - 3%) and the Company's planned production during the five-year period. The Monte-Carlo simulation projects potential gold price paths over the five-year term and applies the contractual incremental revenue percentages for each pricing threshold subject to the cumulative maximum of $165.0 million.

As at March 31, 2026, the Company re-measured the Contingent Consideration which resulted in an increase in the liability of $8.4 million to $119.9 million recorded as a non-current liability (2025 - $111.5 million).

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized a fair value loss on Contingent Consideration of $8.4 million (2025 - $nil).

  1. Total represents weighted average.
  2. On August 8, 2025, the Company granted 1,629,995 stock options ("August 2025 Options") to certain directors, officers and consultants of the Company, exercisable at a price of C$0.53 per share for a period of five years with 50% of the options vesting on the date of grant and 50% vesting one year from the date of grant. Pursuant to the requirements of the TSXV, on closing of the Hemlo Acquisition, the August 2025 Options had their exercise price increased from C$0.53 per share to C$3.00 per share and cannot vest until disinterested shareholder approval has been specifically obtained. Following disinterested shareholder approval, 50% of the modified August Options will vest immediately with the remaining 50% vesting on August 8, 2026.

As disinterested shareholder approval is required, the grant date, as defined under IFRS 2, Share-based Payment has not yet occurred. The Company estimated the fair value of the August 2025 Options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at March 31, 2026 to recognize expenses for the services received. Once the grant date is established upon disinterested shareholder approval, previously recognized expense for the August 2025 Options will be revised to reflect the grant date fair value. This revision is considered a change in accounting estimate.

The grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2026 was calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Three months ended March 31, 2026

Grant date share price C$7.06
Weighted average grant-date fair value C$3.13
Exercise price C$7.06
Expected life of stock options (in years) 3.0 - 4.0
Risk-free rate 2.6% - 2.7%
Expected share price volatility(i) 57.9% - 59.5%
Expected dividend yield — %

(i) The Company used the historical volatility of peer group companies to estimate the expected volatility of the Company's share price.

c. Performance share units

The following table sets out the activity of outstanding PSUs during the period:

Number of PSUs
Balance at January 1, 2026
Granted 358,051
Balance at March 31, 2026 358,051

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 358,051 PSUs were granted at a weighted average price of C$8.51 per unit.

The PSUs are equity-settled and vest on the third anniversary of the date of grant subject to continued employment and achievement of performance conditions. The ultimate number of PSUs vesting can range from 0% to 200% of PSUs granted, with linear interpolation between performance levels, based on the following performance conditions:

  • 60% of the PSUs vest based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to the TSR of the VanEck Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF ("GDXJ") from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028. This condition is considered a market performance condition, and its effect is included in the grant-date fair value of the PSUs of C$9.48 estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model.
  • 40% of the PSUs vest based on the Company's three-year mineral reserves growth from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028. This condition is considered a non-market performance condition, and the number of PSUs expected to vest is reassessed at each reporting date.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, share-based compensation expense related to PSUs totalled $0.1 million (2025 - $nil).

d. Deferred share units ("DSUs")

The following table sets out the activity of outstanding DSUs during the period:

Number of DSUs
Balance at January 1, 2026
Granted 11,331
Balance at March 31, 2026 11,331

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, 11,331 DSUs were granted at an average price of C$7.06 per unit.

The DSUs are cash-settled and vest on the date on which the grantee ceases to be a director, officer employee or consultant of the Company.

For the three months ended March 31, 2026, share-based compensation expense related to DSUs totalled $nil (2025 - $nil).

Gold offtake agreement

The Company entered into a refined gold offtake agreement ("Offtake Agreement") to sell and deliver 50% of refined gold produced from minerals processed at the Hemlo Mine, subject to certain deductions. The agreement remains in effect until 3.2 million ounces of refined gold have been produced from the Hemlo Mine and the offtaker receives delivery of its portion of refined gold, unless terminated earlier pursuant to the Offtake Agreement which may result in a lump-sum payment to the offtaker.

21. Financial instruments and fair value measurement

The Company's cash, account receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, lease liabilities and borrowings are carried at amortized cost. The carrying values of cash, account receivables, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair values largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments and their nature as non-interest bearing. The carrying value of lease liabilities approximates its fair value. The face value of the Company's borrowings approximates its fair value due to a floating interest rate that is linked to a market rate. The Contingent Consideration and gold derivative financial instruments are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. Potential transaction costs have not been considered in estimating fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an ordinary transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of fair value hierarchy, giving the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs, are as follows:

  • Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
  • Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for assets and liabilities, either directly or indirectly; and
  • Level 3 – Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data.
