RISK FACTORS 44
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISThis management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.'s ("Wesdome" or the "Company") unaudited condensed interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and their related notes ("financial statements") which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB").
All dollar amounts stated in this MD&A are denominated in Canadian dollars ("CAD"), except per share data and unless otherwise indicated. The discussion and analysis within this MD&A are effective as of November 4, 2026.
This document contains forward-looking statements and forward-looking information. Refer to the cautionary language under the section entitled "Cautionary Statement on Forward-looking Statements" in this MD&A.
NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURESWesdome uses non-IFRS performance measures throughout this MD&A as it believes that these generally accepted industry performance measures provide a useful indication of the Company's operational performance. These non-IFRS performance measures do not have standardized meanings defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with IFRS.
For further information and detailed reconciliations, refer to the section entitled "Non-IFRS Performance Measures" in this MD&A.

The Company's primary goal is to responsibly leverage this operating platform and brownfield and greenfield exploration pipeline to build a growing value-driven mid-tier Canadian gold producer.
Wesdome is a public company incorporated under the laws of Ontario. The common shares of the Company are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "WDO" and on the OTC Markets Group's OTCQX Market ("OTCQX") under the symbol "WDOFF". The registered and principal office of the Company is located at 220 Bay Street, Suite 1200, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2W4.
Additional financial information relating to Wesdome, including the Company's Annual Information Form, can be found on the Company's website https://www.wesdome.com or under the Company's profile on the SEDAR+ website https://www.sedarplus.ca
Q3 2026 OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTSTotal Recordable Incident Frequency Rate ("TRIFR") was 1.01 in Q3 2026 and 1.02 for YTD 2026. High Potential Incident Frequency Rate ("HIFR") was 0.67 in Q3 2026 and 0.79 for YTD 2026, marking an improvement from Q3 2025 and YTD 2025 at 3.59 and 2.12, respectively.
Consolidated gold production for Q3 2026 was 41,287 ounces, an 18% decrease compared to Q3 2025, as higher tonnes at both Eagle River and Kiena were offset by lower grade.
Q3 2026 revenue increased by 9% to $250.6 million compared to Q3 2025, primarily due to a 23% increase in the average realized price of gold, partially offset by a 12% decrease in ounces sold as a result of lower production at Eagle River in the quarter. The average realized price of gold sold was $5,986 (US$4,279) per ounce compared to $4,853 (US$3,523) in Q3 2025.
Unit costs were higher in Q3 2026 compared to Q3 2025 due primarily to a decrease in ounces sold. Cost of sales were $1,810 (US$1,294) per ounce sold1 in Q3 2026 versus $1,305 (US$947); cash costs per ounce sold1 were $1,801 (US$1,287) compared to $1,300 (US$944), and all-in sustaining costs per ounce sold increased to $2,503 (US$1,789) from $1,954 (US$1,419). The decrease in ounces sold in Q3 2026 was due to lower production at Eagle River as it transitions to a higher throughput, lower grade operating model as outlined in the most recent technical report.
Q3 2026 net income of $89.7 million, or $0.62 earnings per share, represented an increase of $2.8 million, or
$0.04 per share, from Q3 2025.
EBITDA1 increased by 5% in Q3 2026 to $157.5 million relative to Q3 2025.
Net cash from operating activities in Q3 2026 of $102.3 million, or $0.71 per share2, was $15.8 million lower than the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher tax payments of $57.7 million in Q3 2026 compared to $39.5 million in the prior year period, along with an $8.3 million decrease in working capital resulting from lower cash inflow from receivables and prepaids, lower trade payables and higher supplies inventory, partially offset by lower metal inventories and higher realized gold prices.
Cash on hand was $379.9 million as at September 30, 2026, a $26.1 million increase from December 31, 2025 and a $114.0 million increase since September 30, 2025. The cash balance reflects the share buyback program initiated in Q4 2025 returning $177.0 million to shareholders during the first three quarters of 2026. Available liquidity at the end of the quarter was $734.9 million including cash and US$250 million of undrawn full capacity available under the Company's revolving credit facility.
Free cash flow1 decreased to $51.5 million, or $0.36 per share, from $78.9 million, or $0.52 per share, in Q3 2025 due to lower cash from operating activities, primarily driven by higher income and mining tax installment payments on higher projected earnings, and an increase in mine exploration, development and capital equipment purchases.
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company purchased and cancelled 1,820,000 common shares at an average price per share of $25.36, for a total cost of $47.2 million, including tax of $0.9 million.

OUTLOOK 2026 Consolidated Guidance CommentaryThe following updates the Company's 2026 guidance as of the date of this document.
- Consolidated Gold Production: 180,000 to 205,000 ounces (midpoint 192,500 ounces)
The Company is maintaining its initial 2026 consolidated production guidance of 180,000 to 205,000 ounces, with results expected to be below the midpoint of the range. Q4 2026 is anticipated to be the strongest quarter of the year, driven by increased throughput and ounces at Eagle River, the continued ramp-up of the Presqu'île Zone and further operational improvements at Kiena Deep.
Eagle River is expected to achieve its full-year production guidance range of 105,000 to 115,000 ounces at an average grade of 11.5-12.5 g/t. In the first three quarters of 2026, the continued integration of Global Model ore into the mine plan contributed to a 24% increase in mill throughput compared with the same period in 2025. Higher throughput is expected to drive an increase in production in Q4 2026 as the operation continues to advance its fill-the-mill strategy.
Based on year-to-date production of 56,012 ounces, Kiena is expected to achieve its production guidance of 75,000-to-90,000 ounces at an average grade of 8.0-9.5 g/t. Q4 2026 production is expected to be supported by improved operational stability at Kiena Deep and the continued ramp-up of Presqu'île.
Depreciation and Depletion: $100 million (previously $130 million)
Based on the latest technical reports and the mineral reserves published on June 24, 2026, the Company is lowering its guidance for depreciation and depletion from $130 million to $100 million.
- Corporate and General
Based on current forecasts, corporate G&A could track up to 10% higher than the initial guidance of $30 million, primarily due to unplanned initiatives and pre-feasibility studies in 2026.
Cash Costs Per Ounce Sold: US$1,050 to US$1,150 (midpoint: US$1,100)
Based on our most recent forecast, full-year cash costs could track up to 10% higher than the 2026 guidance range of US$1,050 to US$1,150, primarily due to inflationary pressures.
As outlined in its original guidance (see the Company's release dated January 20, 2026), Eagle River's cash costs per ounce sold are expected to increase in 2026 over the prior year, primarily reflecting higher royalties from higher revenue.
Kiena's cash costs per ounce sold are expected to be at the upper end of guidance due to higher input costs and labour, including contractors.
All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC") Per Ounce Sold: US$1,525 to US$1,700 (midpoint: US$1,613)
Consolidated AISC per ounce sold is expected to fall near the top end of the 2026 guidance range of US$1,525 to US$1,700.
While Eagle River's YTD 2026 AISC of US$1,810 per ounce sold is above its full-year guidance range of US$1,525 to US$1,675 per ounce sold, AISC per ounce sold is expected to decrease in Q4 2026 due to higher production and lower operating costs.
With YTD 2026 AISC of US$1,667 per ounce sold, Kiena remains on track to achieve its annual AISC guidance of US$1,525 to US$1,750 per ounce sold.
Total Capital Investments: $205 million
Based on our most recent forecast, full-year consolidated capital spend remains on track with guidance of
$205 million.

REVIEW OF OPERATING MINES Eagle River (Ontario, Canada)The Eagle River Mine, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wesdome, is an underground operation situated on approximately 400 square kilometres in northern Ontario, approximately 50 kilometres west of Wawa within the Mishibishu Greenstone Belt. Built in 1995, Eagle River has produced more than two million ounces of gold since commissioning and has an 8-year reserve mine life as at December 31, 2025.
As part of its recent mineral reserve update, as at December 31, 2025, Eagle River's reserves grew 39% to 676,000 ounces after accounting for 117,000 ounces of depletion. Approximately two-thirds of reserve additions reflected the Global Model initiative, a deliberate strategy to incorporate additional tonnes into the mill feed, increasing throughput at lower average grades while leveraging the operation's largely fixed cost base. This translated into mineable reserves that can be sequenced and scheduled within the operating plan, providing enhanced mine plan flexibility and opportunities to leverage existing infrastructure. The balance of the ounces came from conversion of high-grade inferred resources and new high-grade additions.
The operation's permitted 1,200-tonne-per-day processing mill was commissioned in October 1995. The Company's organic growth strategy is focused on maximizing mill utilization through mine plan optimization and continued exploration success.
Exploration continues to be a key driver of value at Eagle River. As part of a multi-year exploration strategy to systematically advance a pipeline of targets, the Company is targeting to complete more than 145,000 metres of drilling at Eagle River in 2026, with a focus on underground high-grade replacement and near-mine exploration opportunities.
As of September 30, 2026, the operation employed 412 full-time workers and 196 support contractors.

Eagle River gold production decreased by 28% to 24,758 ounces in Q3 2026 from 34,296 ounces in Q3 2025, reflecting the initial phase of the mine's transition to a longer-life higher tonnage mine operating model as part of its fill-the-mill strategy. Tonnes increased 12%, setting a new quarterly record. Higher throughput was more than offset by a 34% decrease in average head grade, which reflects the mining sequence and the updated reserve plan. That plan brings lower-grade stopes and incremental-cut-off development ore into the mill feed alongside high-grade production. Mined grades continue to reconcile well with the reserve model.
In the first three quarters of 2026, Eagle River produced 74,402 ounces, a 16% decrease from 88,907 ounces in the same period of 2025. Tonnes processed increased 24% and grade decreased 33%.
Mill throughput of 79,820 tonnes in Q3 2026 was 12% higher than Q3 2025, reflecting improved mine and mill availability. Year-to-date throughput of 223,990 tonnes was 24% higher than in the same period in 2025, as productivity initiatives deliver more consistent tonnage to the mill.
Despite a 12% increase in tonnes processed in Q3 2026, production costs increased slightly to $511 per tonne from $495 per tonne in Q3 2025 due to inflationary pressure on wages, supplies, fuel, and insurance that have been broadly felt across the industry as well as advancing production drilling to create stope inventory, offsetting fixed cost leverage. Production costs per tonne in the first three quarters of 2026 increased by 3% to $574 per tonne compared to $557 per tonne in the first three quarters of 2025, reflecting similar factors and increased focus on maintenance in both the mine and the mill to improve availability. Production costs per tonne declined by 19% from Q2 2026 due to the increased productivity and removal of one-off items. As throughput continues to increase, we expect higher volumes to further reduce production costs per tonne.
Financial HighlightsIn Q3 2026, Eagle River's gold revenue decreased by 7% to $146.9 million from $158.5 million in Q3 2025 due to a 25% decrease in ounces sold, offset by the higher average realized price of gold. During the first three quarters of 2026, Eagle River's gold revenue increased by 16% to $459.1 million from $396.5 million in the same period in 2025 due to the increase in the average realized price of gold sold, partly offset by a 15% decrease in ounces sold.
Cost of sales in Q3 2026 was $44.3 million, an increase of 15% relative to the comparative period in 2025 primarily due to a $4.1 million increase in volume-driven costs in the mine and mill operating costs, inflationary impacts, contractors and maintenance costs, costs associated with increased royalties mainly due to higher average gold price, partially offset by a change in inventory levels of $0.2 million.
Cost of sales for the first three quarters of 2026 totaled $139.6 million, a 29% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This was principally driven by an $11.2 million increase in mine and mill operating costs due to similar factors described above and increased royalties from higher gold prices, further elevated by an $8.6 million change in inventory levels.
Cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased by 53% to $1,798 (US$1,285) per ounce sold in Q3 2026 from
$1,176 (US$853) per ounce sold in Q3 2025 largely due to a 25% decrease in ounces sold, inflationary impacts, contractors and maintenance costs. Similarly, cash costs per ounce of gold sold increased by 52% to $1,873 (US$1,352) per ounce sold in the first three quarters of 2026 from $1,233 (US$882) per ounce sold in the comparative period in 2025 due to increased cost of sales and a 15% decrease in ounces sold.
In Q3 2026, AISC per ounce of gold sold increased by 56% to $2,578 (US$1,843) from $1,657 (US$1,203) in Q3 2025, due to higher cash costs per ounce sold, a 31% increase in sustaining capital expenditures, and a 25% decrease in ounces sold.
During the first three quarters of 2026, AISC per ounce of gold sold increased by 37% to $2,507 (US$1,810) per ounce sold from $1,824 (US$1,304) per ounce sold in the same period in 2025, due to higher cash cost per ounce sold and a 15% decrease in ounces sold, partially offset by an 8% reduction in sustaining capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are expected to remain elevated in Q4 2026 as Eagle River advances deferred development and capital projects. Higher gold production in Q4 2026 is expected to partially offset the continued sustaining capital expenditures, resulting in lower AISC per ounce sold. Eagle River's full-year AISC per ounce sold is expected to remain within its guidance range of US$1,525 - US$1,675.
Exploration UpdateExpanding the 6 Central Zone
The 6 Central Zone continues to be a priority exploration area given its intermediate depth, proximity to existing mine infrastructure and geological similarities to the 300 Zone at comparable elevations. Drilling during the third quarter continued testing down-plunge opportunities, with recent results supporting the interpretation that the high-grade trend extends at depth. Infill and conversion drilling within existing block model domains was also completed in preparation for the Company's year-end resource model updates.
Growing the 720 Falcon Zone
The 720 Falcon Zone remains a key area of focus given its shallow depth, proximity to existing mine infrastructure, down-plunge potential and opportunity for continuation further west where surface IP surveys have highlighted resistivity and chargeability anomalies. Infill and conversion drilling within existing block model domains was completed during the third quarter and are expected to be included in the Company's year-end resource model updates.
Targeting Up-Plunge Continuity at the 800 Zone
Assay results from infill drilling targeting a gap in the interpreted up-plunge continuity of mineralization support the geological interpretation and potential continuity of the 800 Zone. These results, together with higher-grade intercepts from holes testing down-plunge extensions, have further highlighted the exploration potential of the 800 Zone and increased its priority within the exploration program. Follow-up drilling is planned for the fourth quarter to further evaluate the extent and continuity of mineralization.
Growth Drilling in the 700 Zone
Assay results from growth drilling in the shallow parts of the mine continued to demonstrate thickness and grades, confirming continuation of the mineralization. Infill drilling as part of conversion has commenced and will continue for the balance of the year.
Global Model and the 300 Zone
The global model is an important component of the mine's exploration strategy, identifying opportunities to extend known mineralized zones, improve geological confidence and support future mineral resource growth and conversion. The global model is continuously updated as new geological, drilling, and other technical information becomes available. New prospective areas are added for both conversion and growth as the geological understanding of the Eagle River system evolves, while areas that have been sufficiently drill tested, or are no longer considered priorities based on technical or geological considerations, are reprioritized.
Global model targets are integrated into Eagle River's ongoing underground drilling programs, with typically three to four of the mine's five underground exploration drill rigs testing these areas. During the quarter, drilling continued across several global model targets in the deeper portions of the 300 Zone.
Surface Exploration
At the Eagle River Mine area, surface holes continued testing an area of mineralization to the east of No Name Lake, where historic widely spaced drill holes intersected mineralization. The surface holes were designed to infill and confirm continuation of No Name Lake mineralization. Results will be reported in the next quarter.
At 200 Zone, surface holes commenced a program testing the potential continuation of high-grade mineralization to the west and down plunge. Results will be reported next quarter.
At Dorset Main, Dorset West, and Cameron Iron Formation, drilling for geometallurgical sampling for leach and recovery test work, and deportment studies, was completed, with test work planned for next quarter.
Surface drilling continued at Mishi open pit, evaluating the down-plunge potential of mineralization, and expanding the continuation of near-surface mineralization as part of overall resource evaluation. Results are expected to be reported in Q4 2026.
Partial results were received from helicopter-supported scout holes drilled at Magnacon East to evaluate the subsurface potential of quartz veins that returned high-grade assays from rock chip samples collected during semi-regional structural mapping. The assays to date support surface results, with full results to be reported next quarter.
Assay results are pending for helicopter-supported scout holes drilled at Feather River, located approximately 8 kilometres east of the Magnacon Mine, to evaluate the continuation of quartz veins and sulphide-rich horizons highlighted by previous work which included geologic mapping, local IP surveys, and scout drilling which returned anomalous intercepts.
The Mishi Deposit, Magnacon Deposit, Magnacon East target, and Feather River target are all located along the Mishibishu Deformation Zone, a 10 kilometre long under explored structural trend that remains prospective for hosting mineralization.
Kiena (Quebec, Canada)Kiena is a high-grade underground gold mine located in Val-d'Or within the prolific Abitibi Greenstone Belt of northwestern Quebec. The operation is 100% owned and operated by Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. and features a fully permitted processing mill with a capacity of approximately 2,040 tonnes per day.
Commercial production at Kiena originally commenced in 1981, and the mine has produced more than two million ounces over its life from multiple underground zones, including the high-grade Kiena Deep system. The property covers approximately 75 square kilometres of contiguous mineral claims and hosts substantial mineral reserves and resources. As of December 31, 2025, Kiena had a reserve mine life of 8 years.
Mill throughput in 2025 was 600 tonnes per day, representing approximately 30% of permitted capacity. Capacity utilization increased during the first three quarters of 2026, supported by additional production from the new Presqu'île Zone. Kiena remains focused on improving stability and increasing throughput through resource growth, mine optimization, additional mining zones, and drill platforms for continued exploration success.
As of September 30, 2026, Kiena's workforce consisted of 334 full-time employees and 272 contractors.

In Q3 2026, Kiena produced 16,529 ounces, a 2% increase from 16,169 ounces in Q3 2025. Ore milled increased by 27%, reflecting additional tonnes from Presqu'île, which mined its first stope in July 2026, partially offset by lower Kiena Deep production due to the impact of seasonal workforce availability on operations in the quarter. The increase in tonnage was partially offset by a 20% decrease in average grade compared with Q3 2025, reflecting the addition of development ore from Presqu'île and the deferral of two higher-grade stopes into Q4 2026. Grade continues to reconcile well at Kiena and the Presqu'île Zone is expected to ramp up through Q4 2026, with commercial production anticipated in Q1 2027. Kiena remains focused on adherence to the mining sequence, implementing its operating model and addressing maintenance performance and workforce availability to ramp up production in Q4 2026.
Production in the first three quarters of 2026 totaled 56,012 ounces compared to 50,031 ounces in the first three quarters of 2025, reflecting contributions from Presqu'île together with increased mine sequencing flexibility at Kiena Deep from the addition of a new mining horizon. With the flexibility provided by mining two zones in Kiena Deep, the addition of Presqu'île stope ore augmented by two stopes deferred from Q3 to Q4 2026, Kiena is expected to have a strong fourth quarter.
Production costs per tonne increased to $492 in Q3 2026 from $463 in Q3 2025, due to inflationary pressure on wages, supplies, fuel, and insurance that have been broadly felt across the industry, as well as higher maintenance and contractor costs. Production costs per tonne increased to $532 in the first three quarters of 2026 from $488 in the comparative prior year period, primarily driven by similar factors, partially offset by higher tonnage throughput.
Financial HighlightsIn Q3 2026, Kiena's gold revenue increased by 44% to $103.3 million from $71.5 million in Q3 2025, primarily due to a higher average realized price per ounce of gold sold and an 18% increase in ounces of gold sold. In the first three quarters of 2026, Kiena's gold revenue increased by 56% to $356.6 million from $229.2 million in the comparative period in 2025, due to the higher average realized price of gold and a 12% increase in ounces sold.
Cost of sales in Q3 2026 was $31.4 million, an increase of 35% over the comparative period in 2025 primarily due to a $3.1 million increase in volume related mine operating costs, higher maintenance and contractor costs, and inflationary pressures. Cost of sales in the first three quarters of 2026 was $96.3 million, an increase of 32% over the comparative period in 2025 primarily due to a $15.1 million increase resulting from similar factors.
Cash costs per ounce of gold sold in Q3 2026 were $1,805 (US$1,290), an increase of 15% compared to $1,576 (US$1,144) in Q3 2025 primarily due to similar factors noted in cost of sales. Cash costs per ounce of gold sold in the first three quarters of 2026 were $1,666 (US$1,204), an increase of 18% compared to $1,418 (US$1,014) in the comparative period in 2025 primarily due to higher mine unit operating costs impacted by higher maintenance and contractor costs.
AISC per ounce of gold sold decreased by 8% in Q3 2026 to $2,396 (US$1,713) from $2,615 (US$1,899) in Q3 2025 due to a 40% decrease in sustaining capital expenditures due to timing and higher ounces sold. AISC per ounce of gold sold decreased by 1% in the first three quarters of 2026 to $2,309 (US$1,667) from $2,326 (US$1,663) in the first three quarters of 2025 due to a 12% increase in ounces sold and a decrease in sustaining capital expenditures, partially offset by higher operating costs. Sustaining capital is expected to remain elevated in Q4 2026 as additional development and key projects continue to advance alongside planned production ramp-up, with full-year 2026 guidance remaining on track.
Progress at Presqu'île ZoneDevelopment at the Presqu'île Zone progressed as anticipated during Q3 2026, with the first stope blasted in mid-July and production ramping up throughout the quarter. The production ramp-up is expected to continue through Q4 2026, with commercial production anticipated in Q1 2027.
Ramp BreakthroughKiena achieved a major milestone in Q2 2026 with the breakthrough of the new ramp to surface, establishing continuous ramp access and providing greater flexibility for underground material and equipment movement as mining activity increases. Completion of the ramp enables the ongoing ventilation expansion project, which is expected to double mine ventilation capacity and support increased mining activity and future productivity improvements.
Exploration Update134 Level
Growth drilling from the 134-level exploration drift continued to evaluate the recently discovered Norbenite Footwall mineralized zone, with drill holes designed to better define its geometry, assess the continuity of mineralization and guide future drilling. Assay results are expected to be reported in the next quarter.
A combination of conversion and growth drilling from the 134-level, with two rigs targeting the ZA lenses at the top of the Footwall Zone lenses, as well as deeper inferred high-grade resource conversion. The program is focused on improving geological confidence in known mineralized zones to support potential Mineral Resource conversion, while also testing opportunities for further extensions. Results will be reported in the next quarter.
109-Level Exploration Drift
Exploration drilling from the 109-level continued to advance the VC Zone and the recently reported VZ Zone and evaluate the broader mineralized potential of this area. The rig was relocated down to the 134-level at the end of the quarter to continue the Norbenite Footwall drilling program. All Q3 assay results for the VC and VZ Zones have been received, with the most significant intercepts included in the September press release. An additional rig is planned to be mobilized back to the 109-level in early Q4 2026 to resume the VC and VZ growth and conversion drilling program.
33-Level Exploration Drift
Drilling on 33-Level was significantly slowed down during the quarter, as crews were re-tasked to other rigs as part of seasonal leave schedules. Drilling recommenced late in the quarter, and results will be reported in Q4 2026. For next quarter, the rig will be moved toward Shawkey 22 for a growth focused drill program to increase mineral inventory.
Presqu'île
Drilling shifted from delineation to growth drilling late in Q3. The current program aims to test extensions of the main PI2 lens within the 60-to-100-metre depth tranche below surface, testing the up-dip continuation of the mineralized lenses in an area that is currently outside of mineral reserve.
Surface Exploration
Barge drilling programs at Dubuisson, Tarmac/Siscoe, Northwest, and Wesdome are expected to be completed in early Q4 2026 prior to lake freeze-up. Results are expected to be reported in Q1 2027.
Following the completion of the Tarmac drill program, the barge rig was moved northwest of Siscoe Island to complete the first hole beneath the historical Siscoe Mine trend.
Drilling with a land-based rig continued at Shawkey South/Shawkey 10, evaluating the bulk tonnage style of mineralization at depth. Initial holes were successful with results recently reported. Further drilling is in progress, and a further two rigs will join and expand the drill program in Q4 2026 to expedite the delineation of the geometry and scale of the mineralized potential.
Updated Technical ReportsOn June 24, 2026, the Company outlined the highlights of its upcoming technical reports for both Eagle River and Kiena in a press release titled "Wesdome Extends Reserve Life to 8 Years at Both Mines, Establishes Robust Free Cash Flow Profile, and Outlines Significant Organic Growth Pipeline". The technical reports were prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101") and filed on SEDAR+ on August 6, 2026.
The Eagle River NI 43-101 technical report, which extended Eagle River's reserve mine life to 8 years, reflected work completed under the Global Model initiative, including the digitization of historical data, multi-year target generation, subsequent targeted drilling and conversion of a portion of the multi-year targets, and the use of differential and breakeven cut-off grade analysis. The work unlocked economic mineralization across the asset, particularly near existing infrastructure.
The Kiena NI 43-101 technical report, which included replacing high-grade reserves and extending the reserve mine life to 8 years, incorporated drilling and exploration data from the Kiena Deep A Zone and Footwall Zone, and new mining horizons proximal to existing zones such as Presqu'île and Dubuisson.
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING PERFORMANCE Health and SafetyTRIFR was 1.01 in Q3 2026 and 1.02 for YTD 2026.
TRIFR increased in Q3 2026 due to three medical aid injuries at Eagle River in September. The incidents involved low-risk tasks and resulted in low-severity injuries requiring sutures.

1. See Note 16 of the Company's financial statements for a breakdown of stockpile and in-circuit inventory adjustments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
Cost of sales in Q3 2026 was $13.8 million higher, a 22% increase from Q3 2025 primarily due to a 23% increase in mining and processing costs from higher mill throughput and higher site administration and camp costs at both Eagle River and Kiena in Q3 2026. Cost of sales in the first three quarters of 2026 was $54.8 million higher, a 30% increase when compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to similar factors above.
Cash costs in Q3 2026 were $1,801 (US$1,287) per ounce sold compared to Q3 2025 of $1,300 (US$944) per ounce sold mainly due to the increase in cost of sales and lower ounces sold. Cash costs in the first three
quarters of 2026 of $1,783 (US$1,288) per ounce increased by 37% when compared to the same period in 2025 primarily due to higher cost of sales and lower ounces sold.
AISC in Q3 2026 of $2,503 (US$1,789) per ounce sold increased by 28% from Q3 2025 mainly due to the 39% increase in cash costs and lower ounces sold, partially offset by a 4% decrease in sustaining capital spending due to timing. AISC in the first three quarters of 2026 of $2,420 (US$1,748) per ounce increased by 20% when compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher cash costs per ounce and lower ounces sold, partially offset by lower sustaining capital expenditures.
Corporate and GeneralCorporate and general expenditures in Q3 2026 of $6.2 million were $2.8 million lower than the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to decreased consulting costs and redistributed site support.
Stock-based CompensationDuring the first three quarters of 2026, the Company granted 282,856 stock options, 188,411 Restricted Share Units ("RSUs"), 43,215 Deferred Share Units ("DSUs"), and 169,350 Performance Share Units ("PSUs"), respectively, to its employees, officers, and directors under its 2020 Equity Incentive Plan and 2026 Equity Incentive Plan. All stock options and RSUs have a three-year vesting term, with the first tranche vesting on the first anniversary date of the issue. The PSUs have cliff vesting terms contingent on continued employment at the end of the three-year performance period. All DSUs are fully vested at the grant date and become payable upon retirement of the directors.
During Q3 2026, the Company implemented an Employee Share Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). The Company matches employee contributions and shares are purchased in the open market by a third party on behalf of the Company.
For the first three quarters of 2026, stock-based compensation expense recognized for stock options, RSUs, DSUs, PSUs, and the ESPP was $6.1 million.
Exploration and EvaluationAll expenditures relating to exploration and evaluation activities are expensed until technical feasibility and commercial viability have been determined by the Company. In Q3 2026, Wesdome spent $10.8 million on its exploration program, which included $5.7 million at Eagle River and $5.1 million at Kiena. In the first three quarters of 2026, Wesdome spent $24.8 million on its exploration program, including $16.8 million at Eagle River and $8.0 million at Kiena.
Tax ExpenseWesdome is currently subject to federal income tax and mining tax for any resource profits earned in Ontario and Quebec. Current mining and income tax expense in Q3 2026 of $42.7 million was $3.5 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025 primarily reflecting higher taxable income. Deferred mining and income tax expense in Q3 2026 of $5.1 million was $1.6 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to timing differences between accounting and tax treatment. Current mining and income tax expense in the first three quarters of 2026 of $142.5 million was $30.8 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to an increase in revenue. Deferred mining and income tax expense in the first three quarters of 2026 of $18.8 million was $11.4 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to timing differences between accounting and tax treatment. As at September 30, 2026, the Company has a current mining and income tax receivable of $39.5 million.
EBITDAThe Company's EBITDA for Q3 2026 and YTD 2026 was $157.5 million and $539.3 million, respectively, compared to $149.5 million and $407.2 million during comparative periods in 2025. Net income before tax for Q3 2026 and YTD 2026 was $137.5 million and $463.9 million, compared to $129.6 million and $351.2 million in the same periods in 2025.
Net IncomeNet income in Q3 2026 increased by $2.8 million from the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to the increase in operating cash margin of $6.5 million offset by higher development and exploration expenses, and a
$5.1 million increase in taxes. Net income in the first three quarters of 2026 increased by $70.5 million from the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to the $135.9 million increase in operating cash margin offset by a
$42.2 million increase in taxes.
Net Cash from Operating Activities and Free Cash FlowNet cash from operating activities in Q3 2026 of $102.3 million ($0.71 per share) was $15.8 million lower than the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by higher income and mining tax payments of
$57.7 million compared to $39.5 million in the prior year period, as well as working capital movements including the paydown of accounts payable, and a lower cash inflow from accounts receivable, partially offset by favourable movements in metal inventories and higher operating cash margin from increased realized gold prices.
Net cash from operating activities in the first three quarters of 2026 of $351.7 million ($2.39 per share) was $52.5 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to higher net income from increased gold prices and cash inflows from changes in metal inventories, partially offset by higher income tax payments and working capital movements, including from the paydown of accounts payable and changes in accounts receivable.
Free cash flow was $51.5 million in Q3 2026, a decrease of 35% compared to the corresponding period in 2025. The decrease was primarily driven by lower net cash from operating activities, higher mine exploration and development costs and sustaining mine equipment purchases.
Free cash flow was $219.1 million in the first three quarters of 2026, $39.9 million higher than the corresponding period in 2025 primarily due to higher net cash from operating activities and lower sustaining mine equipment purchases, partially offset by higher mine exploration and development expenditures.
As at September 30, 2026, the Company's cash balance was $379.9 million compared to $353.9 million as at December 31, 2025.
Net Cash from Financing ActivitiesNet cash used in financing activities in Q3 2026 was $51.2 million, an increase of $50.8 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to share repurchases (NCIB) of $46.4 million compared to nil in 2025.
Net cash used in financing activities in the first three quarters of 2026 was $181.3 million, an increase of $181.0 million compared to the corresponding period in 2025, primarily due to share repurchases of $177.0 million compared to nil in 2025.

As at September 30, 2026, Wesdome had cash of $379.9 million and a working capital surplus of $410.3 million, reflecting increases of $26.1 million and $67.8 million, respectively, compared to $353.9 million and $342.5 million at December 31, 2025. Despite returning $177.0 million to shareholders through the NCIB during the first three quarters of 2026, the Company increased its cash balance by $26.1 million since the start of the year. Strong operating cash flow and free cash flow generation driven by high gold prices more than offset capital investments, taxes paid, and share repurchases during the period.

Under the renewed NCIB, Wesdome may purchase for cancellation up to 7,187,337 common shares (the "Shares"), representing approximately 5% of the Company's public float of 143,309,909 shares as of October 26, 2026. Purchases may be made during the 12-month period commencing on November 9, 2026, and ending on the earlier of November 8, 2027 or the date on which the Company completes its purchases under the NCIB.
Under the Company's NCIB in effect from November 7, 2025 to November 6, 2026, the Company was authorized to purchase for cancellation up to 9.01 million common shares. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the Company purchased and cancelled 7,127,700 common shares at an average price of $24.83 per share for a total cost of $180.3 million. The total cost includes $3.3 million of tax on share repurchases.
Secured Credit FacilityOn June 19, 2025, Wesdome executed an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders to upsize the total credit facility to US$250 million and extend the maturity of its current secured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") by an additional three years to June 19, 2028. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Credit Facility includes aggregate commitments of US$250 million with an accordion of US$50 million for a total of up to US$300 million. The Credit Facility will be used for general corporate purposes, including, but not limited to, acquisitions, distributions, investments and ongoing mine development. Advances under the Credit Facility bear interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% per annum depending on the Company's leverage ratio. The Facility is also available for letters of credit. As at September 30, 2026, and as at November 4, 2026, the facility remains undrawn. The standby fees on undrawn amounts under the Credit Facility range from 0.51% to 0.73% over SOFR, depending on the Company's Leverage Ratio.
The Agreement includes standard customary terms and conditions with respect to fees, representations, warranties, and financial covenants. As at September 30, 2026, the Company was in full compliance with the financial covenants stipulated under the Credit Facility. Upfront financing costs of $2.2 million incurred in connection with the amended and restated Credit Facility have been deferred and are being amortized over the committed availability period of the facility. Ongoing standby fees on undrawn amounts are expensed as incurred.
The Credit Facility contains various covenants for a loan facility of this nature, including certain limits on indebtedness and liens. The Credit Facility contains three covenant tests related to maintaining a leverage ratio at less than or equal to 3.5, an interest service coverage ratio at greater than or equal to 3.0, and a minimum tangible net worth covenant, all of which are measured on a rolling four-quarter basis at the end of every quarter.
Wesdome continues to remain compliant with the covenants stipulated under the Credit Facility and does not currently anticipate any events or circumstances that would impact access to the funds available under this facility.

The base shelf prospectus allows the Company to offer and issue common shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, units or any combination thereof during the 25-month period over which the base shelf prospectus is effective. The Company refreshed its base shelf prospectus in order to maintain its financial flexibility as it continues to advance its business plans but has no immediate plans to issue any securities under it at this time and may never proceed with any such issuance. Should the Company decide to offer securities during the 25-month effective period, the specific terms, including the use of proceeds, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement to the short form base shelf prospectus, which will be filed with the applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. This does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities, in any province, state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such province, state or jurisdiction. A copy of the short form base shelf prospectus can be found under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at https://www.sedarplus.ca.

Wesdome uses non-IFRS performance measures throughout this MD&A as it believes that these generally accepted industry performance measures provide a useful indication of the Company's operational performance. These non-IFRS performance measures do not have standardized meanings defined by IFRS and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. Accordingly, these measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.
The non-IFRS performance measures include:
Average realized price per ounce of gold sold
Cash costs and cash costs per ounce of gold sold
Production costs and production costs per tonne milled
Operating cash margin and operating cash margin per ounce of gold sold
Sustaining capital and growth capital
AISC and AISC per ounce of gold sold
Free cash flow and free cash flow per share
Adjusted net income and adjusted net earnings per share
EBITDA
Average realized price per ounce of gold sold is a non-IFRS measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS. Average realized price per ounce of gold sold is calculated by dividing gold revenue from the Company's mining operations for the relevant period by the ounces of gold sold. It may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings.

Cash costs per ounce of gold sold is a non-IFRS performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS, and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. The Company has included this non-IFRS performance measure throughout this document as it believes that this generally accepted industry performance measure provides a useful indication of the Company's operational performance. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's operating performance and ability to generate cash flow. Accordingly, this measure is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. The following table provides a reconciliation of total cash costs per ounce of gold sold to cost of sales per the financial statements.

Production costs per tonne milled is a non-IFRS performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS, and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. As illustrated in the table below, this measure is calculated by adjusting cost of sales, as shown in the statements of income, for royalties and then dividing by tonnes processed through the mill. Management believes that production costs per tonne milled provides additional information regarding the performance of mining and milling operations and allows management to monitor operating costs on a more consistent basis as the per tonne milled measure reduces the cost variability associated with varying production levels. Management also uses this measure to determine the economic viability of mining blocks. As each mining block is evaluated based on the net realizable value of each tonne milled, the estimated revenue on a per tonne basis must be in excess of the production costs per tonne milled in order to be economically viable. Management is aware that this per tonne milled measure is impacted by fluctuations in throughput and thus uses this evaluation tool in conjunction with cost of sales prepared in accordance with IFRS. This measure supplements cost of sales information prepared in accordance with IFRS
and allows investors to distinguish between changes in cost of sales resulting from changes in production versus changes in operating performance.

Operating cash margin is a non-IFRS measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS, and may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. It is calculated as the difference between gold revenue from mining operations and cash mine site operating costs (see cash costs per ounce of gold sold section above) per the Company's financial statements. The Company believes operating cash margin illustrates the performance of the Company's operating mines and enables investors to better understand the Company's performance in comparison to other gold producers who present results on a similar basis.

Sustaining capital expenditures are generally defined as expenditures that support the ongoing operation of the asset or business without any associated increase in capacity, asset life, or future earnings. This measure is being used by management to understand the ongoing capital cost required to maintain operations at current levels. In Q3 2026, there was a reclassification adjustment related to Eagle River exploration activities.
Growth capital expenditures are generally defined as capital expenditures that expand existing capacity, extend asset life and/or increase future earnings. This measure is used by management to understand the costs of developing new operations or major projects at existing operations where these projects will materially increase production from current levels.

AISC includes mine site operating costs incurred at the Company's mining operations, sustaining mine capital and development expenditures, mine site exploration and evaluation expenditures and equipment lease payments related to the mine operations and corporate and general expenses. The Company believes that this measure represents the total cash costs of producing gold from current operations and provides the Company and other stakeholders with additional information that illustrates its operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. This cost measure seeks to reflect the total cost of gold production from current operations on a per ounce of gold sold basis. New project and growth capital are not included.

Free cash flow is a non-IFRS measure and is calculated by taking net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in capital expenditures, funds held against standby letters of credit, and lease payments as reported in the Company's financial statements. Free cash flow is a useful indicator of the Company's ability to operate without reliance on additional borrowing or usage of existing cash. Free cash flow per share is calculated by dividing free cash flow by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period.

Adjusted net income and adjusted net earnings per share are non-IFRS performance measures and do not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and do not have standardized meanings defined by IFRS, and as well both measures may not be comparable to information in other gold producers' reports and filings. Adjusted net income is calculated by removing the one-time gains and losses resulting from the disposition of non-core assets, non-recurring expenses and significant tax adjustments (mining tax recognition and exploration credit refunds) not related to the current period's income, as detailed in the table below.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("EBITDA") is a non-IFRS financial measure which excludes the following items from net income (loss): interest expense, mining and income tax expense (recovery) and depletion and depreciation. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors use EBITDA as an indicator of Wesdome's ability to generate liquidity from net cash from operating activities to fund working capital needs, service debt obligations and fund capital expenditures. EBITDA is intended to provide additional information to investors and analysts and does not have any standardized definition under IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. EBITDA excludes the impact of cash costs of financing activities and taxes, and the effects of changes in operating working capital balances and therefore is not necessarily indicative of operating profit or net cash from operating activities as determined under IFRS. Other producers may calculate EBITDA differently. The following table provides a reconciliation of net income in the Company's financial statements to EBITDA.

The preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Off-Balance Sheet TransactionsDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and up to the date of this report, the Company had no off-balance sheet transactions.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTSThe preparation of the Company's financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue 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. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Critical Judgement in Applying Accounting PoliciesExploration and evaluation expenditures
Judgement is required in determining whether the respective costs are eligible for capitalization where applicable, and whether they are likely to be recoverable by future cash flows, which may be based on assumptions about future events and circumstances. Estimates and assumptions made may change if new information becomes available.
Key Sources of Estimation UncertaintyMineral reserve and mineral resource estimates
Proven and probable mineral reserves are the economically mineable parts of the Company's measured and indicated mineral resources that have been incorporated into the mine plan. The Company estimates its proven and probable mineral reserves and measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources based on information compiled by appropriately qualified persons. The information relating to geological data on the size, depth and shape of the ore body requires complex geological judgments to interpret the data. The estimation of future cash flows related to proven and probable mineral reserves is based upon factors such as estimates of foreign exchange rates, commodity prices, future capital requirements and production costs along with geological assumptions and judgments made in estimating the size and grade of the ore body.
Changes in the proven and probable mineral reserves or measured, indicated and inferred mineral resources estimates may impact the carrying value of mining properties and equipment, depletion, impairment assessments and the timing of decommissioning and remediation obligations.
Commencement of commercial production
Determining when a mine moves into the production phase is highly judgmental. 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 mine and mill has been reached; and
Required production levels, grades, and recoveries have been achieved.
No single factor is considered more important than another. Each factor is considered in context with the facts and circumstances of the specific project. It involves an assessment as to when the mine is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
Depletion
Mining properties are depleted using the units-of-production method ("UOP") over a period not to exceed the estimated life of the ore body based on the estimated tonnage to be milled from proven and probable reserves.
The calculation of the UOP rate, and therefore the annual depletion expense, could be materially affected by changes in the underlying estimates. Changes in estimates can be the result of actual future production differing from current forecasts of future production, expansion of mineral reserves through exploration activities, differences between estimated and actual costs of mining and differences in the gold price assumptions used in the estimation of mineral reserves.
Significant judgment is involved in the determination of useful life and residual values for the computation of depletion and no assurance can be given that actual useful lives and residual values will not differ significantly from current assumptions.
Provision for decommissioning obligations
The Company assesses its provision for decommissioning on an annual basis or when new material information becomes available. Mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. In general, these laws and regulations are continually changing and the Company has made, and intends to make in the future, expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. Accounting for decommissioning obligations requires management to make estimates of the future costs the Company will incur to complete the decommissioning work required to comply with existing laws and regulations applicable to each mining operation. Also, future changes to environmental laws and regulations could increase the extent of decommissioning work required to be performed by the Company. Increases in future costs could materially impact the amounts charged to operations for decommissioning. The provision represents management's best estimate of the present value of the future decommissioning obligation. Actual future expenditures may differ from the amounts currently provided.
Stock-based compensation
The determination of the fair value of stock-based compensation is not based on historical cost but is derived based on subjective assumptions input into an option pricing model. The model requires that management make forecasts as to future events, including estimates of the average future hold period of issued stock options before exercise, expiry or cancellation; future volatility of the Company's share price in the expected hold period (using historical volatility as a reference); and the appropriate risk-free rate of interest. Stock-based compensation incorporates an expected forfeiture rate and is estimated based on historical forfeitures and expectations of future forfeitures and is adjusted if the actual forfeiture rate differs from the expected rate.
The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the option could receive in an arm's length transaction, given that there is no market for the options, and they are not transferable. It is management's view that the value derived is highly subjective and dependent entirely upon the input assumptions made.
The PSUs contain a market condition, which is reflected in the grant date fair value of the awards. The determination of the fair value of PSUs is derived based on subjective assumptions input into a Monte Carlo simulation model. The model requires that management make forecasts as to future events, including estimates of the Company's share price and volatility compared to an index and the appropriate risk-free rate of interest. The PSU valuation incorporates an expected forfeiture rate which is estimated based on historical forfeitures and expectations of future forfeitures and is adjusted if the actual forfeiture rate differs from the expected rate. The resulting value calculated is not necessarily the value that the holder of the PSU could receive in an arm's length transaction or at vesting, given that there is no market for the PSUs, and they are not transferable. It is management's view that the value derived is highly subjective and dependent entirely upon the input assumptions made.
Income taxes and deferred taxes
The Company is subject to income tax laws in various jurisdictions. Tax laws are complex and potentially subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and the relevant tax authority. The provision for income taxes and deferred tax represents management's interpretation of the relevant tax laws and its estimate of current and future income tax implications of the transactions and events during the period. The Company may be required to change its provision for income taxes or deferred tax balances when the ultimate deductibility of certain items is successfully challenged by taxing authorities or if estimates used in determining the amount of deferred tax asset to be recognized changes significantly, or when receipt of new information indicates the need for adjustment in the amount of deferred tax to be recognized. Additionally, future events, such as changes in tax laws, tax regulations, or interpretations of such laws or regulations, could have an impact on the provision for income tax, deferred tax balances and the effective tax rate. Any such changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements in the year these changes occur.
Judgement is required to continually assess changing tax interpretations, regulations and legislation, to ensure liabilities are complete and to ensure assets are realizable. The impact of different interpretations and applications could be material.
Recoverability of mining properties, plant and equipment
The Company's management reviews the carrying values of its mining properties, plant and equipment on a regular basis to determine whether any write-downs are necessary. The recovery of amounts recorded for mining properties, plant and equipment depends on confirmation of the Company's interest in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain the necessary financing to complete the development, and future profitable production or proceeds from the disposition thereof. Management relies on life-of-mine ("LOM") plans in its assessments of economic recoverability and probability of future economic benefit. LOM plans provide an economic model to support the economic extraction of reserves and resources. A long-term LOM plan and supporting geological model identifies the drilling and related development work required to expand or further define the existing ore body.
ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Accounting Standards and Amendments Issued but Not Yet EffectiveThe following are the new standards and amendments issued by the IASB which are applicable to the Company's financial statements.
IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial StatementsIn April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, 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 profit or loss or income statement;
Enhanced transparency of management-defined performance measures; and
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. It carries forward many requirements from IAS 1 unchanged. The Company continues to advance its implementation of IFRS 18, including determining, on a preliminary basis, that Adjusted Net Income and EBITDA would meet the criteria to be considered management-defined performance measures.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards and AmendmentsAmendments 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 fair value through other comprehensive income 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 adoption of these amendments had no impact on the Company's financial statements.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTFinancial instruments disclosures require the Company to provide information about: a) the significance of financial instruments for the Company's financial position and performance and, b) the nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments to which the Company is exposed during the period and at the statement of financial position date, and how the Company manages those risks. Please refer to Notes 20 and 21 of the Company's financial statements for a discussion of the factors that affect Wesdome.
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESRisks and uncertainties related to economic and industry factors and the Company's approach to the management of these risks are discussed in detail in the 2025 annual MD&A.
