Mineral Reserves are defined by mine designs based upon the following assumptions: metal prices of
- Reported estimates of contained metal are not depleted for processing losses.
- For underground reserves, cut-offs applied to diluted grades.
- Haile:
- Open Pit: the primary cut-off grade is 0.5 g/t Au, while oxide material is assigned a cut-off grade of 0.6 g/t Au.
- Underground: the cut-off grade is 1.79 g/t Au, with adjacent lower grade stopes included in the reserves estimate based on an incremental stope cut-off grade of 1.69 g/t Au.
- Didipio:
- Gold equivalence (AuEq) is based upon the presented gold and copper prices as well as processing recoveries. AuEq = Au g/t + 1.37 x Cu%.
- The 15.8 Mt surface stockpile inventory includes 5.3 Mt of low-grade stocks mined at an approximate cut-off grade of 0.27 g/t AuEq.
- Underground: incremental stopes proximal to development already planned to access main stoping areas are reported to a lower cut-off grade of 0.76 g/t AuEq.
- Macraes:
- Golden Point underground cut-off grade is 1.20 g/t Au. Stopes for which access already exists are reported to a lower cut-off grade of 1.01 g/t.
- Waihi:
- Martha underground cut-off grade for previously unmined stoping areas is 2.60 g/t Au, increasing to 3.0 g/t Au for stoping areas in close proximity to remnant workings, while development cut-off grade is 0.90 g/t Au.
- Wharekirauponga underground cut-off grade for stopes is 2.40 g/t Au, while development cut-off grade is 1.40 g/t Au.
Mineral Reserves
Mineral Reserves increased at Waihi, largely due to the initial Mineral Reserve declaration at Wharekirauponga underground. An updated Prefeasibility Study technical report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") was released on December 11, 2024.
Reserves at the Didipio increased by 0.14 Moz, after mine depletion, due to reserve extensions at depth in Panel 3 as well as mine design optimization in Panel 1 and Panel 2 (Figure 1). Reserve additions net of mining depletion also occurred at Macraes, Waihi and the Haile underground. An increase in gold price assumption to

- Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
- All resources are based on the following assumptions: metal prices of

Waihi Open Pit resources reported within a pit design limited by infrastructure considerations. Haile Open Pit resources reported within reserve design pit.
- Underground resources are reported within volumes guided by optimized stope designs based upon economic assumptions above and exclude dilution.
- Haile Open Pit primary cut-off grade is 0.50 g/t Au, while oxide cut-off grade is 0.60 g/t Au. Palomino resources and Horseshoe resources cut-off grade is 1.50 g/t Au.
- For Didipio, the 15.8 Mt surface stockpile inventory includes 5.3 Mt of low-grade stocks mined at an approximate cut-off grade of 0.27 g/t AuEq.
- Didipio underground resources reported at a cut-off grade of 0.67 g/t AuEq between the 2,460mRL and 1,965mRL with AuEq cut-off grade based on presented gold and copper prices. AuEq = Au g/t + 1.39 x Cu %.

The increase in Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 0.62 Moz, net of mining depletion, is largely due to resource updates at Wharekirauponga underground at Waihi, a gold price-related pit expansion for Innes Mills open pit at Macraes, and extensions for Horseshoe underground at Haile (Figure 2).

Decreases in Inferred Resources is due to conversion and mining depletion offset by gold price-related open pit expansions for Macraes (Figure 3).

Notes to Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Estimates
All Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources were estimated as of December 31, 2024 and have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101.
All tonnage, grade and contained metal content estimates have been rounded; rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade, and contained metal content.
Mineral Resources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. It is reasonably expected that the majority of Inferred Mineral Resources could be upgraded to Indicated Mineral Resources with continued exploration.
The updates to the Mineral Resources estimate for Haile open pit and underground have been verified and approved by, or are based on information prepared by, or under the supervision of, J.
The Mineral Resources estimate for Didipio has been verified and approved by, or is based on information prepared by, or under the supervision of, J.
