Allied Gold Reports Q2 2026 Results, Nears Kurmuk Start-Up and Strengthens Financial Position

TORONTO, Aug. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allied Gold Corporation (TSX: AAUC) (NYSE: AAUC) (“Allied” or the “Company”) herein provides its financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2026. The Company produced 97,429 ounces of gold in the second quarter of 2026. Performance was in line with expectations and operating plans, representing a 7% increase over the prior year comparative production. All-in Sustaining Costs (“AISC”)(1) for the quarter were $2,192 per ounce sold, in line with expectations. These results reflect continued momentum heading into the second half of the year, which is planned with increased levels of production mostly coming from operational improvements and mine sequencing at producing mines and the start-up of production at its newest operation, the Kurmuk Mine. SECOND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS Financial Results Highlights Earnings: Second quarter net earnings of $37.2 million, or $0.29 per basic share and $0.27 per fully diluted share. Second quarter adjusted earnings(1) of $55.4 million, or $0.44 per basic share and $0.40 per fully diluted share. Cash Flows and EBITDA: Net cash used in operating activities for the quarter was $67.4 million. Operating cash flows before income tax paid and movements in working capital were a strong inflow of $133.0 million. EBITDA(1) and Adjusted EBITDA(1) for the three months ended June 30, 2026, were $165.0 million and $166.9 million, respectively. Strong Financial Position: As of June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $192.2 million. Cash balances are expected to increase through the remainder of the year, supported by reduced capital expenditure at the Kurmuk Mine as development efforts come to an end, and increased production from operating mines and start of production from the Kurmuk Mine. During the second quarter, the amount of $158.9 million was paid for expansionary capital, particularly in relation to development of the Kurmuk Mine, and $129.7 million was paid in cash taxes for the preceding year. Cash taxes were in line with expectations and normally, cash taxes for a preceding year are paid in the second quarter of the following year. Liquidity will be further strengthened by the proceeds from the recently announced $295 million strategic investment by Zijin Gold, as described in the Transaction with Zijin Gold section below. Operational Highlights Second Quarter Production: The Company produced 97,429 ounces of gold in the second quarter, in line with plan and annual guidance for its operating mines, and representing a 7% increase over the prior year comparable period. Second Quarter Sales: Sales of 93,970 gold ounces, differing slightly from production due to the timing of shipments of production and the sale of end-of-year inventory. Performance by Asset: At Sadiola, production of 48,080 ounces in the second quarter was aligned with the production plan. Sequential increases in production are expected over the coming quarters, driven by higher grades and throughput. At Bonikro, production of 31,471 ounces in the second quarter was substantially higher than the second quarter of the previous year, due to mine sequencing and a standout performance in relation to the production plan. At Agbaou, production of 17,878 ounces in the second quarter was in line with plan and the mine sequence. Costs In Line with Plan: AISC(1) of $2,192 per ounce sold on a consolidated basis for the second quarter were in line with plan. The estimated gold price impact on second quarter AISC(1) as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,380, versus gold price assumed in guidance of $4,250, amounts to approximately $20 per ounce. Strong AISC Margins: Lower AISC, together with realized gold prices for spot sales of approximately $4,380 per ounce in the second quarter, resulted in strong AISC margins demonstrating the strong operating cash flow generation abilities of the Company. Tracking Production Guidance: Aggregate production for the first half of 2026 of 193,445 gold ounces positions Allied well to meet previously provided production guidance relating to its producing mines of 385,000 to 425,000 gold ounces. As previously disclosed, production from Allied’s producing mines, particularly at Sadiola, is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year with sequential increases in production expected in the upcoming quarters. The development of the Kurmuk Mine continued to advance during the second quarter, with the start of operations expected in August and first gold following a few weeks thereafter. The Company targets to maximize production for the partial year of production in 2026 and had previously guided a production level between 100,000 and 150,000 gold ounces for the year, it will provide an update on the production expectations for the second half of the year once operations commence in the third quarter. Following the commissioning and ramp-up of the Kurmuk Mine in the second half of 2026, the Company expects to produce between 240,000 and 270,000 gold ounces in 2027, which at the higher end, exceeds the guidance provided in February 2026, and approximately 300,000 gold ounces in 2028, all at industry-leading costs. This is expected to reposition and transform Allied's already strong cash flow generation, leading to increased shareholder returns. Advancement of Key Growth Initiatives Kurmuk Mine Progressing Towards Production: The development of the Kurmuk Mine continued to advance during the second quarter, with the start of operations expected in August and first gold following a few weeks thereafter. Key execution milestones continue to be met, and the project remains on budget and on schedule while advancing commissioning activities. While the Company targets to maximize production for the partial year of production in 2026 and had previously guided to a production level between 100,000 and 150,000 gold ounces for the year, it will provide an update on production expectations for the second half of the year once operations commence in the third quarter. As noted above, following the commissioning and ramp-up of the Kurmuk Mine, the Company expects to produce between 240,000 and 270,000 gold ounces in 2027, which at the higher end, exceeds the guidance provided in February 2026, and approximately 300,000 gold ounces in 2028, all at industry-leading costs. Sadiola Next Growth Phase: The Company advanced processing improvements including instrumentation and automation upgrades aimed at improving recovery and reducing costs, together with the planned addition of a pre-leach thickener during 2026. The thickener is expected to enable the plant to process more than 90% of fresh ore, improve operating flexibility, and reduce reagent consumption in the first half of 2027. Mine Life Increased at CDI Complex: Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources updates for Agbaou demonstrate an increase of more than 60% over the year-end 2025 estimates, based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves. As a result, mine life for Agbaou based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves only has been extended to 2030, which, together with the previously disclosed update on the extension of the Bonikro mine life and the ongoing exploration efforts in the CDI Complex, supports the Company’s strategic objective of at least 200,000 gold ounces per year for over 10 years, thereby also increasing the minimum level of cumulative production from 180,000 gold ounces per year to 200,000 gold ounces per year. Transaction with Zijin Gold On July 29, 2026, the Company announced the termination of its arrangement agreement with Zijin Gold International Company Ltd. ("Zijin Gold"), as the parties determined that the conditions required to complete the transaction were unlikely to be satisfied by the agreed outside date. Concurrently, the Company entered into a subscription agreement with Zijin Gold pursuant to which Zijin Gold agreed to invest approximately $295 million (C$417 million) through a non-brokered private placement of approximately 12.8 million common shares at a subscription price of C$32.55 per share. Upon closing, Zijin Gold is expected to own approximately 9.2% of the Company's issued and outstanding common shares and will hold rights to maintain its pro rata ownership interest until such time as it holds below 5%. The private placement is subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to close on or before August 10. The Company has received conditional approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and approval from the New York Stock Exchange. The proceeds are intended to support the advancement of the Company's growth initiatives, including the completion and ramp-up of the Kurmuk project, the phased expansion of Sadiola, production growth initiatives at the CDI Complex, and ongoing exploration programs. Sustainability, Health and Safety Highlights The Company did not report any significant Environmental Incidents for the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company’s Total Recordable Injury Rate (“TRIR”) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 was 1.46, compared to 1.21 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. The Company reported two Lost Time Injuries, resulting in Lost Time Injury Rate ("LTIR") of 0.29 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to a LTIR of 0.29 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2025. OPERATING RESULTS SUMMARY For three months ended June 30, For six months ended June 30,     2026   2025   2026   2025 Gold ounces         Production   97,429   91,017   193,445   175,057 Sales(3)   93,970   81,103   193,848   212,623 Per Gold Ounce Sold         Total Cost of Sales(4) $ 2,104 $ 2,294 $ 2,171 $ 2,019 Cash Costs(1) $ 1,923 $ 2,034 $ 1,988 $ 1,800 AISC(1) $ 2,192 $ 2,343 $ 2,229 $ 2,014           Average revenue per ounce for at-market sales* $ 4,568 $ 3,000 $ 3,913 $ 2,921 Average market price per ounce $ 4,506 $ 3,280 $ 4,693 $ 3,067 *Average revenue per ounce sold differs from average revenue per ounce for at-market sales predominantly due to hedge settlements and sales made under streams. For the second quarter of 2026 and on a year-to-date basis, the impact of hedge settlements was $(411)/ounce and $(532)/ounce, respectively (second quarter of 2025 and second quarter year-to-date 2025 - $(73)/ounce and $(38)/ounce, respectively) and the impact of stream, in-kind dividends and IFRS 15 adjustments was $(81)/per ounce and $(123)/ounce, respectively (second quarter of 2025 and second quarter year-to-date 2025 - $(75)/ounce and $(41)/ounce, respectively). Gold production of 97,429 ounces during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 91,017 ounces during the comparative prior period. The increase was predominantly driven by production growth at Bonikro and Agbaou during 2026, resulting from the benefits of stripping work executed in prior quarters, as anticipated. Total cost of sales(4) of $2,104 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $2,294 during the comparative prior period. Cash costs(1) on a per gold ounce sold basis of $1,923 for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2,034 during the comparative prior period. AISC(1) for the current quarter of $2,192 compared to the comparative period AISC(1) of $2,343 per gold ounce. For the quarter, unit costs per ounce sold on a consolidated basis for the second quarter were in line with plan. The estimated gold price impact on second quarter AISC(1) as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,380, versus gold price assumed in guidance of $4,250, amounts to approximately $20 per ounce. Sadiola (80% interest), Mali Sadiola comprises the Sadiola (80% interest) open pit gold mine, located in the Kayes region of Mali, as well as the Korali-Sud open pit gold mine (65% interest), 15 kilometres south of the processing plant at Sadiola. The remaining ownership in Sadiola is retained by the Government of Mali.

Production is expected to increase sequentially in the next quarter as a result of increased grades and throughput. Sadiola is in a strong position to meet its production guidance for the year, with further increases expected in the coming quarters, as previously disclosed. Total cost of sales(4) and AISC(1) for the quarter were $2,689 and $2,766, respectively, per ounce sold on a consolidated basis for the second quarter were in line with plan. The estimated gold price impact on second quarter AISC(1) as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,380, versus gold price assumed in guidance of $4,250, amounts to approximately $20 per ounce. With quarterly production tracking in line with guidance and near-term increases in throughput and feed grade planned for the next quarters, costs for the balance of the year are expected to decline, consistent with the anticipated transition from mining and feeding predominantly oxide ores to a blend dominated by higher-grade fresh mineralization. As part of the quarterly production plan, various blending strategies were progressively deployed to support the implementation of new operational practices, automation improvements, and enhanced process controls aimed at consolidating CIL circuit performance with increased fresh ore feed. As noted above, with the progressive implementation of these initiatives and other operational improvements paired with increased feed grades and throughput, a corresponding reduction of unit costs is expected over subsequent quarters. Gold sales for the current quarter differed slightly from production due to the timing of shipments. Sadiola Expansion Project Processing improvements in the quarter include instrumentation and automation upgrades aimed at improving recovery and reducing costs, together with the planned addition of a pre-leach thickener during 2026. The thickener is expected to enable the plant to process more than 90% of fresh ore, improve operating flexibility, and reduce reagent consumption in the first half of 2027. This work is intended to support a sustainable long-term operating platform for Sadiola at 200,000 to 230,000 gold ounces per year before further expansion. Allied concluded in the fourth quarter of 2025 that the best execution strategy for expansion at Sadiola is to progressively optimize, develop, and expand the current processing plant and ancillary infrastructure, rather than to build a new processing plant to treat fresh ore. This organic growth strategy allows for more efficient deployment of capital and management of execution risks, and it enables the same ultimate throughput of over 9 Mt/y of ore processed as defined in the previous studies, but with interim, organic steps at 7 Mt/y and 8 Mt/y. This strategy also enables the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, thereby improving capital efficiency and returns. During the quarter, the Company advanced processing improvements including instrumentation and automation upgrades aimed at improving recovery and reducing costs, together with the planned addition of a pre-leach thickener during 2026. The thickener is expected to enable the plant to process more than 90% of fresh ore, improve operating flexibility, and reduce reagent consumption in the first half of 2027. The Company continues to advance engineering for the 7 Mt/y expansion in anticipation of the start of construction in late 2026, as well as the engineering and design for the subsequent expansion steps. In parallel, Allied continues to advance studies to increase recoveries for fresh ore, including test work and engineering for the flotation and Albion and other processes, as well as undertaking design and execution engineering for the new tailings dam construction and solar farm earthworks. Along with the advancement of the growth strategy for Sadiola, the Company is advancing its energy program for the asset and is undertaking a staged and scalable approach, having initially installed additional diesel generators and control systems to support the start of operations of the first phase expansion, followed by the implementation of a hybrid power solution, with the deployment of medium-speed thermal units and a photovoltaic plant with battery energy storage systems (“BESS”) sufficient to meet the power requirements of the Phase 1 expansion at reduced costs and providing the base for a scalable system capable of satisfying the energy needs of the next phase expansion, thereby providing Sadiola with a flexible power solution capable of meeting its ultimate power needs and reducing its emissions, while being self-reliant, efficient and cost-effective. Sadiola Exploration During the second quarter of 2026, exploratory and resource drilling programs were conducted on the Sadiola licence with a total of 74 holes drilled comprising 10,498 metres utilizing up to five exploration core and RC drill rigs. Resource and exploratory drilling programs continued and were expanded at Tambali North and along the Sadiola Main Deposit during the second quarter. At Tambali North, a program was designed to follow-up on historic oxide gold mineralization and test a model that suggests that the Tambali Deposit mineralization continued to the north into the Sadiola Main pit and that historic waste piles, lying above the north-northeast extension of the Tambali North mineralization, are locally gold-bearing. This program initially comprised six short drill lines spaced 200 metres apart. Results to date have been positive and the Company has advanced infill drilling at a 100 metre line spacing at Tambali North. As of the end of the second quarter of 2026, 68 holes, comprising 6,491 metres, had been completed with drilling continuing past the end of the quarter. Drilling continued at Sadiola Main during the quarter with 6 drill holes, totalling 4,007 metres. These holes are designed to test the southern strike extensions of the deposit, to test below previous drilling to begin to support an expansion of the reserve pit at depth, to evaluate Sadiola's underground potential and to test for depth extensions to the north-northeast trending structures that cut across the Sadiola Main shear zone. Additional holes are being planned with a goal to demonstrate depth extensions to the northern end of the Sadiola Main Zone and the northeast-trending cross-structures while gathering additional geological data to better define bedding-parallel mineralization across the entire deposit area. Induced polarization geophysical surveys continued over the S12 deposit area as part of a survey to test the Sekekoto West mineralized trend. S12 is a high-grade mineralized oxide zone that has been subject to karsting. One goal of the IP survey is to determine if resistivity data can be used to model the karsting and associated karst geological facies to enhance 3D modelling of this high-grade zone. For the remainder of 2026, Sadiola will see continued efforts with four to five drills dedicated to continue testing for, and extending, the gold mineralized structures at Sadiola Main, Tambali North, FE2 Trend, Sekekoto Trend, FE3/FE4, TK1, Mandakoto and Kenge. Exploration is focused on both oxide and shallow fresh mineralization. Oxide ore is favoured in the short term as it provides the plant with relatively inexpensive, high-quality ounces. The horizontal and down-dip/down-plunge limits of these systems are still open and as such, expectations of new discoveries and additions to the mineral inventory are high. Bonikro (89.89% interest), Côte d’Ivoire The Bonikro gold mine is an open pit gold mine located in the Oumé region of Côte d’Ivoire (“Bonikro” or “Bonikro Mine”). The remaining ownership is split between the Government of Côte d’Ivoire (10%) and a local minority shareholder (0.11%). Bonikro is contiguous to Agbaou, and together they comprise the CDI Complex, with the two processing plants located only 20 km from each other. The combined milling capacity and existing infrastructure including water supply dams, tailings storage facilities, access and site roads, power supply and accommodation facilities provides optionality and potential synergies for the future. Bonikro comprises two separate mining licences (the Bonikro Licence and Hiré Licence), although integrated as a single operation.

The result was driven by higher feed grades, throughput, and recovery compared with the first quarter, following access to higher-grade ore in Stage 5, after stripping and mine development were completed in 2025. Mine sequencing during the second half of 2026 is expected to remain in higher-grade zones, with variations between quarters expected as the mine tracks to its annual guidance targets. Processing circuit optimization continues to focus on gravity recovery, circuit efficiency and slurry control. Waste stripping at Bonikro Main is expected to remain lower than in 2025, providing increased flexibility for ore mining through 2026 and 2027. Bonikro AISC(1) for the second quarter were better than plan and include capitalized stripping at PB5 incurred during 2024 and 2025, which is being amortized in 2026 and 2027. This represents over $140 per ounce of gold sold in the cost structure. Bonikro Mine Life Extension As previously discussed, the updated integrated production plan for Bonikro incorporates production from Hiré, Oumé, and Bonikro and demonstrates a mine life extension to 2036 based on the 2025 Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, supporting average production of approximately 120,000 gold ounces per year. The Company is completing studies to increase the Bonikro plant’s processing capacity to 3.0–3.2 Mt/y. The expansion is expected to provide additional operating flexibility, support future production opportunities, and facilitate the incorporation of additional mineral inventory from exploration sources across the district. This increase is expected to build on the previously guided and ongoing processing plant throughput upgrades of approximately 0.5 million tonnes of ore per annum, intended to bring forward the processing of low-grade stockpiles at a rate of 15,000 to 20,000 gold ounces per annum, beginning in late 2026 to early 2027. In combination with the recently reported extension of mine life for Agbaou based on Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves to 2030, the new integrated Bonikro LOM plan and the ongoing exploration efforts in the CDI Complex, supports the Company’s strategic objective of at least 200,000 gold ounces per year for over 10 years (thereby also increasing the minimum level of cumulative production from 180,000 gold ounces per year to 200,000 gold ounces per year). Hiré Exploration In the second quarter of 2026, drilling at Hiré focused on testing for oxides along the eastern extension of the Chapelle orebody. In total 29 holes comprising 3,295 metres were drilled with the bulk of the holes completed with an RC drill. Drone magnetic surveying was completed in the second quarter with 5,557.3 metres flown in the quarter. In total, 10,405 linear kilometres of 25- and 50-metre spaced drone magnetic lines were completed over the Oumé and Hire areas. This survey is designed to better define the structural zones that are associated with the gold zones to improve targeting success. As well, a secondary goal of the magnetic survey is to identify additional Bonikro Mine-type porphyritic felsic intrusions, which have been demonstrated to host significant gold zones. Oumé Exploration Following the successful Oumé exploration program, which resulted in the declaration of initial Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves containing approximately 585,000 ounces of gold, the Company expanded its exploration efforts to test for extensions to the Oumé gold system. In the first quarter of 2026, exploration resumed over the projected eastern extent of the Oumé mineralized system, with 118 holes totalling 5,946 metres. Late in the second quarter, scout drilling also commenced testing targets developed immediately west and southwest of the Oumé deposits at the Dougbafla Junction and #5 targets. Agbaou (85% interest), Côte d’Ivoire Agbaou is an open pit gold mine, located in the Oumé region of Côte d’Ivoire. The remaining ownership is split between the Government of Côte d’Ivoire (10%) and the SODEMI development agency (5%). Agbaou is contiguous to Bonikro, and together they comprise the CDI Complex, with the two processing plants located only 20 km from each other. The combined milling capacity and existing infrastructure including water supply dams, tailings storage facilities, access and site roads, power supply and accommodation facilities provides optionality and significant synergies for the future. Agbaou Key Performance Information (100% Basis) For three months ended June 30,   2026     2025   Operating     Ore mined (M tonnes)   0.43     0.41   Waste mined (M tonnes)   4.46     9.71   Ore processed (M tonnes)   0.55     0.59   Gold     Production (Ounces)   17,878     15,959   Sales (Ounces)   18,231     14,938   Feed grade (g/t)   1.10     0.89   Recovery rate (%)   94.5 %   94.7 % Total cost of sales per ounce sold(4) $ 1,643   $ 2,267   Cash costs per ounce sold(1) $ 1,539   $ 2,085   AISC per ounce sold(1) $ 2,047   $ 3,104   Financial(In thousands of US Dollars)     Revenue $ 71,708   $ 46,430   Cost of sales (excluding DDA)   (26,488 )   (30,366 ) Gross profit excluding DDA(1) $ 45,220   $ 16,064   DDA   (3,458 )   (3,495 ) Gross Profit $ 41,762   $ 12,569   Capital Expenditures(In thousands of US Dollars)     Sustaining(1) $ 6,400   $ 13,721   Expansionary(1)   —     —   Exploration(1)   1,723     989   Agbaou produced 17,878 ounces of gold during the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to 15,959 ounces in the corresponding quarter of the previous year and was aligned with the plan. Ore mined and tonnes processed were above plan, and the plant processed a higher proportion of fresh ore than in the first quarter, consistent with the mine sequence. Continued stripping of the West pits is expected to secure ore access for the second half of 2026, including access to higher-grade areas. Agbaou AISC(1) for the second quarter were better than plan. Optimization initiatives and operational enhancements are in progress, with Bonikro serving as the benchmark. Agbaou is expected to follow as these measures are implemented and scaled, targeting reduced costs in the next quarters. Agbaou Mine Life Extension As previously disclosed, the Company updated the Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for Agbaou, resulting in a 60% increase in the Proven and Probable Reserves. As a result, the mine life for Agbaou based on Mineral Reserves has been extended to 2030, which, together with the previously disclosed update on the extension of the Bonikro mine life and the ongoing exploration efforts in the CDI Complex, supports the Company’s strategic objective of 200,000 gold ounces per year for over 10 years for these assets. Agbaou Exploration At Agbaou, Allied actively pursues opportunities to extend the mine life by increasing Mineral Reserves through sustained drilling and other exploration efforts. During the quarter, 48 holes totalling 7,371 metres were completed with up to five drills operating. These holes tested the down-dip extensions of known gold-bearing ore bodies and new gold zones. This sustained effort, which commenced in July 2025, was completed late in the second quarter, 2026 with 129 holes totalling 30,410 metres drilled. As a result of this program, a new lens of gold mineralization was discovered which has led to a follow-up 30 hole, 5,500 metre drill program which was 55% complete at the end of the quarter. Drilling commenced over the Agbaou South target, an area of historic gold intercepts and anomalous gold-in-soil values, late in the second quarter. This seven hole, 1,560 metre initial drill program is expected to be completed in the third quarter. Looking forward in 2026, additional drill programs are anticipated in the Agbaou pit for both oxide and fresh mineralization and west of South Sat 3 for oxides. Kurmuk The development of the Kurmuk Mine continued to meet key execution milestones during the second quarter and remains on budget and schedule. Commissioning activities have begun and will continue into the third quarter, ahead of the planned start of operations in August. Mining activities continue to advance well, with ore stockpiles being progressively established to support at least three months of plant feed ahead of start-up and ramp-up. Exploration efforts continued to test extensions of known deposits and to develop new mineralized areas, with the objective of defining over 5 million ounces of mineral inventory. While the Company targets to maximize production for the partial year of production in 2026 and had previously guided to a production level between 100,000 and 150,000 gold ounces for the year, it will provide an update on production expectations for the second half of the year once operations commence in the third quarter. Following start-up and a partial year of production in 2026, the Kurmuk Mine is expected to produce between 240,000 and 270,000 gold ounces in 2027, which at the higher end, exceeds previous guidance, and approximately 300,000 gold ounces in 2028. The mine is expected to average approximately 290,000 gold ounces per year during the first four years and 240,000 gold ounces per year over the life of the mine, with industry-leading cost performance. Along with the advancement of the project and as previously disclosed, the Company completed a review of the capacity of the processing plant in consideration of the ore inventory and the exploration progress at Dish Mountain, Ashashire, Tsenge, and other targets within the mine's prolific land package. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average sustaining processing capacity of up to 6.4 Mt/y. This increased flexibility has been incorporated into the project execution plan, with subsequent optimizations to the leaching circuit expected to be deployed in the future years to increase fresh ore recoveries. The enhancements and optimizations are expected to make Kurmuk a stronger, de-risked operation upon commencement of production, providing upside and operational flexibility, aligning with the Company’s long-term strategy of maximizing value at each of the Company's assets. Kurmuk Project Exploration At both Dish Mountain and Ashashire, drilling continues to intersect lateral and vertical extensions of the deposits, with the limits of the mineralized system remaining open. At Tsenge, near-term exploration is focused on defining the extent of higher-grade zones and updating the mineralization models with a medium-term exploration goal of evaluating the entire 9-kilometre strike length of the gold-in-soil anomalies at Tsenge. A significant amount of highly successful trenching continues to be carried out at Tsenge, confirming the bedrock expression of the mineralized lenses that are coincident and proximal the regional, to the gold-in-soil anomalies aligned along this 9 km long trend. A second-pass drill program completed over the Urchin Prospect, located adjacent to the Ashashire haul road, yielded positive results that will require follow-up drilling.

This compares to an inflow of $22.0 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Current period cash was positively impacted by strong gold sales and high realized gold prices. Prior year cash flows were positively impacted by the sale of Korali inventory in the first quarter of 2025 from 2024 which significantly increased sales quantities, while positively impacting working capital due to the sale. Working capital movements reflect normal course fluctuations, primarily driven by the planned buildup of stockpiles, the timing of VAT receivable recoveries, the timing of accounts payable settlements, and the planned ongoing normalization of royalty payables. Operating cash flows before income tax paid and movements in working capital for the three months ended June 30, 2026 increased significantly, at an inflow of $133.0 million compared with the prior year comparative quarter inflow of $116.0 million. This was due to higher realized gold prices and quantities. As at June 30, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $192.2 million, compared with $479.8 million as at December 31, 2025.

Mr. Bernier is an employee of Allied and a "Qualified Person" as defined by Canadian Securities Administrators' National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). About Allied Gold Corporation Allied Gold is a Canadian-based gold producer with a significant growth profile and mineral endowment which operates a portfolio of three producing assets and development projects located in Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, and Ethiopia. Led by a team of mining executives with operational and development experience and proven success in creating value, Allied Gold aspires to become a mid-tier next generation gold producer in Africa and ultimately a leading senior global gold producer.

Refer to the Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures section below in this news release. (2)   Net earnings and adjustments to net earnings represent amounts attributable to Allied Corporate equity holders. (3)   Included in gold ounces sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are 8,155 ounces from Korali-Sud not included in revenue, as they were distributed to the Government of Mali as an advance dividend-in-kind at prevailing market prices. (4)   Historically, Cost of sales was presented inclusive of DA. Cost of sales is the sum of mine production costs, royalties, and refining cost, while DA refers to the sum of depreciation and amortization of mining interests. Starting in the prior year, these figures appear on the face of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The metric “Total cost of sales per ounce sold” is defined as Cost of sales inclusive of DA, divided by ounces sold. (5)   Working Capital movement refers to the sum of                 a. (Increase) / decrease in trade and other receivables         b. (Increase) / decrease in inventories         c. Increase / (decrease) in trade and other payables NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial performance measures and ratios to supplement its Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following: Cash costs per gold ounce sold; AISC per gold ounce sold; Gross profit excluding DDA; Sustaining, Expansionary and Exploration Capital Expenditures; Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share; and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA The Company believes that these measures, together with measures determined in accordance with IFRS, provide investors with an improved ability to evaluate the underlying performance of the Company. Non-GAAP financial performance measures, including cash costs, AISC, Adjusted AISC, Gross profit excluding DA, Sustaining, Expansionary and Exploration Capital Expenditures, Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss), Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Share, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. Non-GAAP financial performance measures are intended to provide additional information, and should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS and are not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS. Management’s determination of the components of non-GAAP financial performance measures and other financial measures are evaluated on a periodic basis, influenced by new items and transactions, a review of investor uses and new regulations as applicable. Any changes to the measures are described and retrospectively applied, as applicable. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding. The measures of cash costs and AISC, along with revenue from sales, are considered to be key indicators of a Company’s ability to generate operating earnings and cash flows from its mining operations. This data is furnished to provide additional information and is a non-GAAP financial performance measure. CASH COSTS PER GOLD OUNCE SOLD Cash costs(1) include mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations. Cash costs exclude DDA, exploration costs, accretion and amortization of reclamation and remediation, and capital, development and exploration spend. Cash costs include only items directly related to each mine site, and do not include any cost associated with the general corporate overhead structure. The Company discloses cash costs because it understands that certain investors use this information to determine the Company’s ability to generate earnings and cash flows for use in investing and other activities. The Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS do not fully illustrate the ability of its operating mines to generate cash flows. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is cost of sales. As aforementioned, this non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS. Cash costs are computed on a weighted average basis, with the aforementioned costs, net of by-product revenue credits from sales of silver, being the numerator in the calculation, divided by gold ounces sold. AISC PER GOLD OUNCE SOLD AISC figures are calculated generally in accordance with a standard developed by the World Gold Council (“WGC”), a non-regulatory, market development organization for the gold industry. Adoption of the standard is voluntary, and the standard is an attempt to create uniformity and a standard amongst the industry and those that adopt it. Nonetheless, the cost measures presented herein may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company is not a member of the WGC at this time. AISC include cash costs (as defined above), mine sustaining capital expenditures (including stripping), sustaining mine-site exploration and evaluation expensed and capitalized, and accretion and amortization of reclamation and remediation. AISC exclude capital expenditures attributable to projects or mine expansions, exploration and evaluation costs attributable to growth projects, DA, income tax payments, borrowing costs and dividend payments. AISC includes only items directly related to each mine site, and do not include any cost associated with the general corporate overhead structure. As a result, Total AISC represent the weighted average of the three operating mines, and not a consolidated total for the Company. Consequently, this measure is not representative of all of the Company’s cash expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are expenditures that do not increase annual gold ounce production at a mine site and excludes all expenditures at the Company’s development projects as well as certain expenditures at the Company’s operating sites that are deemed expansionary in nature, such as the Sadiola Phased Expansion and the construction and development of Kurmuk. Exploration capital expenditures represent exploration spend that has met criteria for capitalization under IFRS. The Company discloses AISC, as it believes that the measure provides useful information and assists investors in understanding total sustaining expenditures of producing and selling gold from current operations, and evaluating the Company’s operating performance and its ability to generate cash flow. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is cost of sales. As aforementioned, this non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS. AISC are computed on a weighted average basis, with the aforementioned costs, net of by-product revenue credits from sales of silver, being the numerator in the calculation, divided by gold ounces sold. The following tables provide detailed reconciliations from total costs of sales to cash costs and AISC. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.

The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Gross profit excluding DDA is calculated as Gross Profit plus DDA. The Company discloses Gross Profit excluding DDA because it understands that certain investors use this information to determine the Company’s ability to generate earnings and cash flows. The Company believes that conventional measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS do not fully illustrate the ability of its operating mines to generate cash flows. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is Gross Profit. As aforementioned, this non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS. The reconciliation of Gross Profit to Gross Profit Excluding DDA can be found on pages 4, 7, and 9 of this press release. ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE The Company uses the non-GAAP financial measures “Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)” and the non-GAAP ratio “Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share” to supplement information in its financial statements. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share are calculated as Net Earnings (Loss) attributable to Shareholders of the Company, excluding non-recurring items, items not related to a particular periods and/or not directly related to the core mining business such as the following, with notation of Gains (Losses) as they would show up on the financial statements. Gains (losses) related to the reverse takeover transaction events and other items, Gains (losses) on the revaluation of historical call and put options, Unrealized Gains (losses) on financial instruments and embedded derivatives, Write-offs (reversals) on mineral interest, exploration and evaluation and other assets, Gains (losses) on sale of assets, Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses), Share-based (expense) and other share-based compensation,   Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) related to revaluation of deferred income tax asset and liability on non-monetary items, Deferred income tax recovery (expense) on the translation of foreign currency inter-corporate debt, One-time tax adjustments to historical deferred income tax balances relating to changes in enacted tax rates, Non-recurring provisions,   Any other non-recurring adjustments and the tax impact of any of these adjustments calculated at the statutory effective rate for the same jurisdiction as the adjustment. Non-recurring adjustments from unusual events or circumstances are reviewed from time to time based on materiality and the nature of the event or circumstance. Management uses these measures for internal valuation of the core mining performance for the period and to assist with planning and forecasting of future operations. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share provide useful information to investors because they exclude non-recurring items, items not related to or not indicative of current or future periods' results and/or not directly related to the core mining business and are a better indication of the Company’s profitability from operations as evaluated by internal management and the board of directors. The items excluded from the computation of Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)(1) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)(1) per share, which are otherwise included in the determination of Net Earnings (Loss) and Net Earnings (Loss) per share prepared in accordance with IFRS, are items that the Company does not consider to be meaningful in evaluating the Company’s past financial performance or the future prospects and may hinder a comparison of its period-to-period profitability. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is Net Earnings (Loss). As aforementioned, this non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS. The reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) to attributable to Shareholders of the Company to Adjusted Net Earnings can be found on page 13 of this press release and in the Company's MD&A in Section 1: Highlights and Relevant Updates, under the Summary of Financial Results. EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA The Company uses the financial measures “EBITDA” and "Adjusted EBITDA” to supplement information in its financial statements. The Company believes that in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company and certain investors and analysts use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. EBITDA is calculated as Net Earnings (Loss), plus Finance Costs, DDA, Current income tax expense and Deferred income tax expense. Adjusted EBITDA calculated is further calculated as EBITDA, excluding non-recurring items, items not related to a particular periods and/or not directly related to the core mining business such as the following, with notation of Gains (Losses) as they would show up on the financial statements. Gains (losses) on the revaluation of historical call and put options, Unrealized Gains (losses) on financial instruments and embedded derivatives, Write-offs (reversals) on mineral interest, exploration and evaluation and other assets, Gains (losses) on sale of assets, Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses), Share-based (expense) and other share-based compensation, Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) related to revaluation of deferred income tax asset and liability on non-monetary items, Non-recurring provisions, Non-recurring adjustments from unusual events or circumstances are reviewed from time to time based on materiality and the nature of the event or circumstance. Management uses these measures for internal valuation of the cash flow generation ability of the period and to assist with planning and forecasting of future operations. Management believes that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provide useful information to investors because they exclude non-recurring items, items not related to or not indicative of current or future periods' results and/or not directly related to the core mining business and are a better indication of the Company’s cash flow from operations as evaluated by internal management and the board of directors. The items excluded from the computation of Adjusted EBITDA, which are otherwise included in the determination of Net Earnings (Loss) prepared in accordance with IFRS, are items that the Company does not consider to be meaningful in evaluating the Company’s past financial performance or the future prospects and may hinder a comparison of its period-to-period performance comparisons. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is Net Earnings (Loss). As aforementioned, this non-GAAP measure does not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies, should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS, and is not necessarily indicative of operating costs, operating earnings or cash flows presented under IFRS.

CAUTIONARY NOTE TO U.S. INVESTORS REGARDING MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES This press release has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ in certain material respects from the disclosure requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). For example, the terms “mineral reserve”, “proven mineral reserve”, “probable mineral reserve”, “mineral resource”, “measured mineral resource”, “indicated mineral resource” and “inferred mineral resource” are Canadian mining terms as defined in accordance with NI 43-101 and the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (the “CIM”) - CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, adopted by the CIM Council, as amended (the "CIM Standards"). These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this press release may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements. NOTES ON MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES Mineral Resources are stated effective as at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, and are estimated in accordance with the 2014 CIM Standards and 43-101. Where Mineral Resources are stated alongside Mineral Reserves, those Mineral Resources are inclusive of, and not in addition to, the stated Mineral Reserves. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Mineral Reserves are stated effective as at December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 and estimated in accordance with CIM Standards and NI 43-101. The Mineral Reserves: are inclusive of the Mineral Resources which were converted in line with the material classifications based on the level of confidence within the Mineral Resource estimate; reflect that portion of the Mineral Resources which can be economically extracted by open pit methods;   consider the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the project; include an allowance for mining dilution and ore loss. Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates are shown on a 100% basis. Designated government entities and national minority shareholders hold the following interests in each of the mines: 20% of Sadiola, 35% of Korali-Sud, 10.1% of Bonikro and 15% of Agbaou. Only a portion of the government interests are carried. The Government of Ethiopia is entitled to a 7% equity participation in Kurmuk once the mine enters into commercial production and certain governmental commitments such as public road upgrades and installation of a power line are complete. The Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates for each of the Company’s mineral properties have been approved by the qualified persons within the meaning of NI 43-101 as set forth below: Mineral Property Qualified Person of Mineral Reserves Qualified Person of Mineral Resources Sadiola Mine Esteban Chacon, Ing.
