John Lewins, K92 Chief Executive Officer and Director, stated, “2025 was a transformational year for K92, delivering record annual revenue, cash flow, earnings and net cash, with production at the upper end of guidance and costs outperforming guidance. These results reflect strong operational execution and the continued robust performance of the Kora and Judd deposits.
A major milestone achieved during the year was the successful completion of the state-of-the-art 1.2 million tonne-per-annum Stage 3 Expansion Process Plant, delivered under budget with commissioning completed in December. Plant performance in Q4 has been very encouraging, with gold recoveries exceeding Updated Definitive Feasibility Study assumptions and multiple daily throughput rates above nameplate capacity, positioning K92 to ramp-up production over the course of 2026 and beyond.
We enter 2026 from a position of significant financial strength, with a record net cash balance and the vast majority of Stage 3 capital already invested. This provides significant flexibility to complete remaining Stage 3 projects, including the pastefill system, while concurrently accelerating Stage 4 Expansion projects and increasing our exploration budget by more than 50% to US$31-35 million in 2026. Exploration continues to deliver outstanding results, as demonstrated by our February press release, reinforcing our confidence in the long-term growth potential of Kainantu both near-mine and regionally.
We expect 2026 to be yet another transformational year as we build on this momentum and continue progressing toward becoming a Tier 1 mid-tier producer.”

AuEq exploration results are calculated using longer-term commodity prices with a copper price of US$5.00/lb, a silver price of US$50/oz and a gold price of US$3,500/oz. The following recoveries were applied in-line with the Updated Definitive Feasibility Study: Au – 92.6%, Cu – 94.0%, and; Ag – 78.0%. For CuEq, Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are not considered.
(5)
This press release presents information about the Company's Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted EPS, which are not measures recognized under IFRS and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These measures have been derived from the Company's financial statements because the Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors and stakeholders will use the non-IFRS measures to evaluate the Company's future operating and financial performance. However, these non-IFRS performance measures do not have any standardized meaning and may therefore not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these non-IFRS performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute of performance measures prepared in accordance with IFRS.
(6)
“Adjusted net earnings” and “adjusted earnings per share” are non-GAAP financial measures with no standard meaning under IFRS which exclude the following from net earnings: write down of assets and realized and unrealized loss on derivates.
Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.

All such forward-looking statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of the date such statements are made. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our ability to control, that may cause our actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such factors include, without limitation, Public Health Crises, including the epidemic or pandemic viruses; changes in the price of gold, silver, copper and other metals in the world markets; fluctuations in the price and availability of infrastructure and energy and other commodities; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; volatility in price of our common shares; inherent risks associated with the mining industry, including problems related to weather and climate in remote areas in which certain of the Company's operations are located; failure to achieve production, cost and other estimates; risks and uncertainties associated with exploration and development; uncertainties relating to estimates of mineral resources including uncertainty that mineral resources may never be converted into mineral reserves; the Company's ability to carry on current and future operations, including development and exploration activities at the Arakompa, Kora, Judd and other projects; the timing, extent, duration and economic viability of such operations, including any mineral resources or reserves identified thereby; the accuracy and reliability of estimates, projections, forecasts, studies and assessments; the Company's ability to meet or achieve estimates, projections and forecasts; the availability and cost of inputs; the availability and costs of achieving the Stage 3 Expansion or the Stage 4 Expansion; the ability of the Company to achieve the inputs the price and market for outputs, including gold, silver and copper; failures of information systems or information security threats; political, economic and other risks associated with the Company's foreign operations; geopolitical events and other uncertainties, such as the conflicts in Ukraine, Israel and Palestine; compliance with various laws and regulatory requirements to which the Company is subject to, including taxation; the ability to obtain timely financing on reasonable terms when required; the current and future social, economic and political conditions, including relationship with the communities in Papua New Guinea and other jurisdictions it operates; other assumptions and factors generally associated with the mining industry; and the risks, uncertainties and other factors referred to in the Company's Annual Information Form under the heading “Risk Factors”.
Estimates of mineral resources are also forward-looking statements because they constitute projections, based on certain estimates and assumptions, regarding the amount of minerals that may be encountered in the future and/or the anticipated economics of production. The estimation of mineral resources and mineral reserves is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, Forward-looking statements are not a guarantee of future performance, and actual results and future events could materially differ from those anticipated in such statements. Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actual results to differ materially from those that are anticipated, estimated, or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
