CEO Commentary

David Rae, President and Chief Executive Officer, made the following comments in relation to the third quarter results:

“We continue to deliver strong results, including $179 million of free cash flow and adjusted net earnings of $144 million or $0.66 per share, driven by strong operating performance and metal prices. With strong performance in the first nine months of the year, we are well-positioned to achieve the higher end of our production guidance.

“We are very pleased with the progress at Vareš, which achieved commercial production ahead of schedule in August and remains on track to reach the 850,000 tonne per year run-rate by year-end. Wedge is advancing as a near-term growth prospect, and we are commencing ramp development during the fourth quarter to support first production towards the end of 2028.

“Our exploration success continues to transform our growth outlook, which is fully funded and generating significant value for our shareholders. At Brevene Porphyry South, recent drilling confirmed that the high-grade system extends onto the Chelopech mine concession and remains open in multiple directions. At the Rakita Camp, we are advancing Dumitru Potok towards an updated Mineral Resource estimate in the first quarter of 2027 and a PEA by the end of 2027.”

Key Operating and Financial Highlights

Performance Highlights

The following table compares production, sales and cash cost measures by asset for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 against 2026 guidance:

With continued strong operating performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, the Company expects to achieve the high end of its GEO production guidance for 2026. Vareš achieved commercial production ahead of schedule and is on track to achieve the ramp-up to full production by year-end. The operating results of Vareš have been included in the Company's consolidated results since September 3, 2025, the date of acquisition. In addition, the mine closure activities at Ada Tepe are progressing well following the conclusion of operations on July 15, 2026.

Highlights include the following:

Chelopech, Bulgaria: GEO produced in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than 2025, due primarily to lower overall metals production and higher prices for gold, partially offset by higher prices for copper and silver. GEO produced in the first nine months of 2026 was lower than 2025, due primarily to lower production and higher prices for gold, partially offset by higher production and prices for silver, and higher prices for copper. Chelopech is on-track to achieve its GEO production guidance for 2026.

Gold contained in concentrates produced in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower gold grades, as well as lower gold recoveries in the first nine months of 2026, in line with the mine plan. Silver contained in concentrates produced in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower silver grades. Silver contained in concentrates produced in the first nine months of 2026 was higher than 2025 due primarily to higher silver grades and recoveries. Copper production in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower copper grades. Copper production in the first nine months of 2026 was comparable to 2025.

GEO sold in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower GEO produced, partially offset by timing of deliveries. GEO sold in the first nine months of 2026 was comparable to 2025. Payable gold in concentrates sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was lower than 2025 reflecting lower gold production, partially offset by timing of deliveries. Payable copper and silver in concentrates sold in the third quarter of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower copper and silver production, partially offset by timing of deliveries. Payable copper and silver in concentrates sold in the first nine months of 2026 was higher than 2025 due primarily to timing of gold-copper concentrate deliveries and higher silver production in pyrite concentrate.

All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was higher than 2025 due primarily to higher labour costs, higher energy costs, and higher maintenance costs, as well as lower volumes of GEO sold in the third quarter of 2026 and a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar for the first nine months of 2026.

Ada Tepe, Bulgaria: Ada Tepe reached the end of its mine life, with production having concluded as of July 15, 2026. Gold contained in concentrate produced and GEO produced in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was lower than 2025 due primarily to lower volumes of ore mined and processed.

Payable gold in concentrate sold and GEO sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was consistent with gold production compared to 2025.

All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was higher than 2025 due primarily to lower volumes of GEO sold, partially offset by lower cash outlays for sustaining capital expenditures.

Vareš, Bosnia and Herzegovina: Vareš achieved commercial production on August 10, 2026 by exceeding an average of 60% of design throughput capacity and recoveries over a period of 30 consecutive days. Metals contained in concentrates produced were in line with the planned ramp-up of the mine to full production of 850,000 tonnes per annum, which is on track for the end of 2026, with the second tailings filter expected to begin commissioning in November. In 2026, Vareš is expected to be above the high end of its guidance ranges for ore processed and GEO production.

Payable metals in concentrates sold were lagging metals produced due primarily to timing of deliveries during the third quarter and first nine months of 2026. In 2026, GEO sold at Vareš is expected to be at the high end of its guidance range.

All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold at Vareš for the first nine months of 2026 was below the low end of its 2026 guidance range due primarily to the capitalization of certain pre-commercial production operating costs. It is expected to increase during the balance of the year as the gross operating costs at Vareš are now included in its all-in sustaining cost post-commercial production. All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold at Vareš for the full year is expected to be at the low end of its 2026 guidance range due primarily to lower gross operating costs and higher GEO sold.

Cash cost per tonne of ore processed, before capitalization, is expected to be at the low end of its 2026 guidance range due primarily to lower gross operating costs and higher volume of ore processed. The Company continues to evaluate opportunities to optimize the cost structure for 2027 and beyond, targeting the cash cost per tonne metrics outlined in the Vareš Technical Report.

Cost of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 included $17.1 million in depreciation expense related to the Vareš mine properties. The depreciable value of these mine properties reflected their carrying value, together with the fair value adjustment recognized as part of the purchase price allocation. Depreciation commenced on August 10, 2026, when commercial production was declared.

At full production rates over the life of the mine, annualized depreciation of these mine properties, net of the reversal of deferred tax liabilities associated with the fair value adjustment, is expected to decrease the Company’s net earnings by approximately $180 per tonne of ore processed at Vareš.

Consolidated Operating Highlights

Production: GEO production in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was 10% and 31% higher than 2025, respectively, reflecting higher overall metals production at Vareš, partially offset by lower gold production at Ada Tepe following the end of its mine life in July, and lower gold and copper production at Chelopech.

Deliveries: GEO sold in the third quarter of 2026 was comparable to 2025 due primarily to higher GEO production, partially offset by timing of deliveries. GEO sold in the first nine months of 2026 was 20% higher than 2025 reflecting primarily the inclusion of Vareš, partially offset by lower gold production at Ada Tepe.

Cost measures: Cost of sales in the third quarter of 2026 was 19% lower than 2025 due primarily to Ada Tepe reaching the end of its mine life in July 2026. This was partially offset by the inclusion of Vareš beginning in September 2025, as well as higher labour costs, and energy costs at Chelopech. Cost of sales in the first nine months of 2026 was 13% higher than 2025 due primarily to the inclusion of Vareš, as well as higher labour costs at Chelopech, a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar, and higher energy costs at Chelopech. These increases were partially offset by Ada Tepe reaching the end of its mine life in July 2026. Cost of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 included $17.1 million in depreciation expense related to the Vareš mine properties. Depreciation commenced on August 10, 2026, when commercial production was declared. Cost of sales for the third quarter and first nine months of 2025 also included a non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories of $25.5 million.

All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was 8% and 3% higher than 2025, respectively, due primarily to higher costs at Chelopech and Ada Tepe, reflecting higher labour costs, and higher energy costs, as well as a stronger Euro relative to the U.S. dollar for the first nine months of 2026. These increases were partially offset by all-in sustaining cost per GEO sold at Vareš, which was below the low end of its 2026 guidance range due to the capitalization of certain pre-commercial production operating costs. All-in sustaining cost was also impacted by mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses, which resulted in an increase of $270 and $154 per GEO sold, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, compared to an increase of $213 and $159 per GEO sold in the corresponding periods in 2025, reflecting DPM’s strong share price performance.

Capital expenditures: Sustaining capital expenditures incurred in the third quarter of 2026 were 6% lower than 2025 due primarily to no capital expenditures at Ada Tepe as the mine reached the end of its life in July 2026, partially offset by capital expenditures at Vareš as the mine achieved commercial production in August 2026, and higher capital expenditures at Chelopech. Sustaining capital expenditures incurred in the first nine months of 2026 were 34% lower than 2025 due primarily to no capital expenditures at Ada Tepe as the mine reached the end of its life in the year.

Growth capital expenditures incurred in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were 112% and 119% higher than 2025, respectively, due primarily to the capital expenditures at Vareš, including the capitalization of certain pre-commercial production operating costs, partially offset by lower capital costs related to the Čoka Rakita project due primarily to timing of expenditures.

Consolidated Financial Highlights

DPM delivered strong financial results in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, benefiting from higher metal prices and the addition of the Vareš mine to its portfolio. The financial results of Vareš have been included in the Company's consolidated financial statements since September 3, 2025, the date of acquisition.

Revenue: Revenue in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was 17% and 64% higher than 2025, respectively, due primarily to higher realized metal prices, and higher GEO sold at Vareš following acquisition, partially offset by lower GEO sold at Ada Tepe.

Net earnings: Net earnings in the third quarter of 2026 were 39% higher than 2025, due primarily to higher revenue and lower cost of sales, partially offset by higher income taxes, higher exploration expenses, a $5.8 million fair value loss on copper stream liability, and higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses. Net earnings in the first nine months of 2026 were 150% higher than 2025, due primarily to higher revenue and a $32.9 million reversal of certain provisions at Vareš, partially offset by higher cost of sales, higher income taxes, higher exploration expenses and higher mark-to-market adjustments to share-based compensation expenses, as well as a $12.1 million fair value loss on copper stream liability and a $9.5 million loss on settlement of a previously recognized receivable related to the DPM Tolling Agreement. The first nine months of 2025 also included a one-time levy of $24.4 million to the Bulgarian state budget related to Chelopech and Ada Tepe and Adriatic acquisition related costs of $15.4 million.

Adjusted net earnings: Adjusted net earnings in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were 12% and 92% higher than 2025, respectively, due primarily to the same factors affecting net earnings, with the exception of adjusting items primarily related to the reversal of certain provisions at Vareš, a fair value loss on copper stream liability, and the loss on settlement of tolling receivable, as well as the 2025 Bulgarian levy, Adriatic acquisition related costs and the non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories at Vareš.

Cash provided from operating activities: Cash provided from operating activities in the third quarter of 2026 was 4% higher than 2025, due primarily to higher earnings generated in the period, partially offset by the timing of payments to suppliers, the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash and lower interest received. Cash provided from operating activities in the first nine months of 2026 was 82% higher than 2025, due primarily to higher earnings generated in the period and the timing of deliveries and subsequent receipt of cash, partially offset by the timing of payments to suppliers, lower interest received and higher income taxes paid. The first nine months of 2026 also included higher annual cash redemption under the share-based compensation plans reflecting DPM’s strong share price performance, and a cash redemption of certain Deferred Share Units.

Free cash flow: Free cash flow in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was 21% and 90% higher than 2025, respectively, due primarily to the same factors impacting adjusted net earnings. Free cash flow is calculated before changes in working capital.

Bosnia and Herzegovina Constitutional Court Decision

On September 30, 2026, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina (the “Court”) published its full decision on the outcome of the constitutional dispute between Bosnia and Herzegovina (the “State”) and the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina concerning the authority of the Federation, cantonal and municipal bodies to adopt or enter into certain acts related to State-owned forests and forestry land, including the Vareš Concession Agreement and its annexes. The Court found that certain acts, including the Concession Agreement, together with the related decisions of relevant authorities concerning forest land conversion and easement rights, were not in conformity with Articles I(2) and III(3)(b) of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, as the relevant Federation, cantonal and municipal authorities did not have the authority to deal with such property contrary to the Law on the Temporary Prohibition of Disposal of State Property and without the involvement of Bosnia and Herzegovina and its Attorney General’s Office. The Court’s decision is final and not subject to appeal. The decision does not terminate or suspend the Concession Agreement or any of its annexes, and operations at Vareš continue as normal. The Court has ordered a six-month review period for applicable authorities to review the challenged acts and take the necessary steps to bring the matter into conformity and set aside those acts that are found to not comply with the Law on the Temporary Prohibition of Disposal of State Property. During the review period, DPM is engaging with State, Federation, and cantonal authorities in order to represent its interests and to support a State-level solution to the State property issue in the country.

Refer to the Company’s news release dated October 1, 2026, for information with respect to the recent decision of the Constitutional Court in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Information” section of this news release.

Development Projects Update

Čoka Rakita, Serbia

Following the October 25, 2026 parliamentary election in the Republic of Serbia, the Company notes that administrative and regulatory decision-making timelines may be extended as the new government is formed and the National Assembly is convened. DPM will work with the relevant authorities to align the scheduling of the next phase of the Čoka Rakita project, if the process of the government’s formation requires it. The Company has had a presence in Serbia since 2004 and remains committed to Čoka Rakita with timeline updates, if necessary, to be provided in due course. In parallel, DPM is continuing to advance engineering and procurement activities for the project, including dismantling and refurbishing of the Ada Tepe mill components, the ramp-up of purchases and securing of fabrication timelines for critical equipment, selection of the underground contractor and advancing detailed engineering.DPM remains committed to working proactively with all levels of government and local communities, and to operating in accordance with industry best practices and applicable Serbian and European Union standards.

The Company has planned to spend between $49 million to $53 million of growth capital expenditures for the Čoka Rakita project in 2026, with $13.7 million incurred in the first nine months of the year. These activities are primarily related to pre-construction activities, including detailed engineering, environmental and permitting activities, early works, and operational readiness planning. Subject to permitting progress and schedule acceleration, approximately $42 million of pre-committed initial capital for the project was also included in the 2026 detailed guidance related to early contractor engagement and procurement activities in advance of a formal construction decision.

Exploration

Chelopech Camp, Bulgaria

Brevene Porphyry South Discovery: In late September 2026, DPM announced new high-grade intercepts from delineation drilling and expansion of the gold-copper porphyry mineralization at the Brevene Porphyry South discovery, located at the boundary of the Chelopech mine concession and the southeastern part of the Brevene exploration licence.

Recent results from drilling, including extended intercepts of the previously reported intervals in hole EX_BRES_555_02A with 716.60 metres at 3.30 g/t AuEq (comprising 1.63 g/t Au and 1.58% Cu), and drill hole EX_BRESPO_03 with 1,054 metres at 2.49 g/t AuEq (comprising 1.20 g/t Au and 1.20% Cu) demonstrate the significant vertical extent (over 1,000 metres) and potential for scale and continuity with broad, continuous intervals of high-grade copper-gold porphyry mineralization.

Drilling confirmed a large potassic alteration envelope exceeding 500 metres by 500 metres and more than 1,000 metres in vertical extent, and indicate a northwestward extension of the potassic alteration envelope onto the Chelopech mine concession. The system remains open to the north, south, west, and at depth, where it is interpreted to plunge to the southwest. Up to 15,000 metres of additional drilling from the Chelopech mine concession are planned through year-end 2026, followed by continued delineation through 2027. In addition, preliminary metallurgical testwork indicates that Brevene Porphyry South mineralization is amenable to conventional rougher-cleaner flotation, with open-cycle tests producing copper-gold concentrates at grades ranging between 10% to 25% for copper and 12 g/t to 20 g/t gold.

Drilling activities within the Brevene exploration licence continued until the end of September, at which point the exploration licence period concluded. The Company shifted drilling to the existing Chelopech mine concession, where the latest results have confirmed the Brevene Porphyry South target extends north onto the concession. Surface drilling is ongoing with 12 drill rigs focused on assessing the Mineral Resource potential of the Brevene Porphyry South discovery. The Company is targeting an initial Mineral Resource estimate for the Brevene Porphyry South in the second half of 2027, with a PEA planned in the first half of 2028.

Approximately 15,000 additional metres of drilling is planned through the end of 2026. This expanded program is focused on delineating the northern and western extensions of the porphyry system, as well as testing the depth potential, where mineralization remains open. Further delineation drilling will continue in 2027, to support the Company’s internal Mineral Resource estimates and technical evaluations. DPM is targeting an initial resource in the second half of 2027, to form the basis of a preliminary economic assessment planned for the first half of 2028.

In parallel with the drilling program, the Company continues to advance activities in support of converting the Brevene exploration licence to a mining concession. In late August, the final geology report, which includes technical and economic assessment, was submitted to the Ministry of Energy, with regulatory review ongoing.

The key milestones in this regulatory process include recognition of a Commercial Discovery; submission of a mining concession application; environmental and other permitting requirements; and ultimately, granting of a concession contract, all of which is subject to regulatory review and approval. As the Company advances through this regulatory process, DPM’s near-term exploration updates regarding the Chelopech camp will be focused on results from within the mine concession area, with further Brevene exploration results to resume once the regulatory milestones are achieved.

For additional information regarding exploration activities and recent significant drilling intercepts for Brevene Porphyry South, see the news release entitled “DPM Metals Expands Brevene Porphyry South Discovery with New High-Grade Intercepts” dated September 20, 2026, available on the Company’s website at www.dpmmetals.com and SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.

Wedge Zone (Block 250): DPM has continued to advance the high-grade Wedge Zone prospect, which will be referred to as Block 250 as it is incorporated into the mine plan for Chelopech as a near-term opportunity, which is expected to grow production and extend mine life at Chelopech commencing in late 2028. The Company is on track to complete an initial Mineral Resource estimate by year-end and has commenced preparatory works for the ramp and twin declines that will provide access to Block 250. Development of the ramp is commencing in the fourth quarter of 2026, with contractor-led construction of the twin declines targeted to begin in the first quarter of 2027.Extensional drilling of Block 250 towards the west continued, with a total of 1,948 metres drilled during the third quarter of 2026. DPM will continue to explore the broader Wedge Zone corridor in 2026 for additional mineralization, informed by the possibility of telescoping within the Chelopech hydrothermal system, where alteration and mineralization assemblages typically developed at higher structural levels may occur at greater depth than would normally be expected. Exploration will also test analogous structural settings along the Petrovden Fault.

Based on the potential new results from its exploration campaign, the Company increased its guidance for the Chelopech brownfield exploration activities in 2026 to a range of $27 million to $28 million, up from the original guidance range of $16 million to $17 million, with $21.6 million incurred in the first nine months of the year. In addition, the Company now plans to fund an additional $5 million for engineering and design work related to the development of twin declines to Block 250, increasing the guidance for the growth capital expenditures at Chelopech to be between $9 million to $10 million, up from the initial guidance range of $4 million to $5 million. Development costs at Block 250 will be capitalized to mine properties at Chelopech upon completion of the initial mineral resource estimate, which is planned before year-end.

Rakita Camp, Serbia

During the third quarter of 2026, exploration activities in Serbia were performed on the Potaj Čuka, Čoka Rakita, Pester Jug and Umka licences. A total of 19,283 metres of drilling was completed during the quarter.

Up to fifteen drill rigs were active at the Čoka Rakita licence during the third quarter of 2026, with 12,762 metres drilled. Infill, delineation and extension drilling continued at the Dumitru Potok prospect, with a main focus on increasing the drill density and extending mineralization footprint along strike and laterally. Two drill rigs are dedicated to dual targeting, the Frasen porphyry/adjacent stratabound mineralization and deeper contact skarn mineralization at Dumitru Potok contact skarn area. One drill rig is dedicated for the Rakita North area and one drill rig for the Rakita south drill program.

Recent results from drilling at the Dumitru Potok and Rakita North prospects demonstrate further growth potential, with mineralization open along strike, laterally and at depth, including priority extensions to the west and southwest of the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource, and to the north and east at Rakita North. These results improve the Company’s understanding of mineralization geometry and indicate mineralized tonnage may be greater than previously modelled.

Drilling extended the marble-hosted intrusive skarn mineralization approximately 90 metres west and 100 metres southwest (drill holes BIDD253 and DPDD037A) and returned encouraging results 300 metres to the north of the Mineral Resource (DPDD039A), indicating further expansion potential at shallow levels.

Given the success to date, DPM is expanding the 2026 drilling program by an additional 12,000 to 15,000 metres. The drilling program will focus on expanding the existing Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource estimate, infill drilling and target testing across the Čoka Rakita exploration licence.

An updated Dumitru Potok Mineral Resource estimate is expected to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2027, which will form the basis of a PEA targeted to be complete by the end of 2027.

The Company continued its drilling campaign on the Potaj Čuka licence, with 3,558 metres drilled during the third quarter of 2026, which was primarily focused on the Valja Saka prospect, and additional scout targets across the licence. The Valja Saka drill program aimed to test the continuation of mineralized zones and different mineralization styles intersected in previous campaigns. Drill testing of several best-ranked target areas have been completed and confirmed the stratigraphy sequence and structural patterns.

In response to the encouraging results achieved to date, the Company has increased its guidance for the Serbian exploration activities in 2026 to a range of $38 million to $40 million, up from the original guidance range of $25 million to $30 million, with $29.5 million incurred in the first nine months of the year.

Vareš, Bosnia and Herzegovina

During the third quarter of 2026, work at Vareš focused on testing for high-grade extension potential at Rupice, advancing drilling at Droskovac-Brezik, and progressing the broader camp target pipeline. A total of 3,399 metres were drilled during the period, comprising nine holes and a total of approximately 2,489 metres drilled at Rupice and two holes and a total of approximately 910 metres drilled at Droskovac-Brezik.

Meanwhile, mapping and rock-chip sampling continued across the Rupice–Medujak–Borovica and Mekuse–Vareš East areas.

In the fourth quarter, the Company expects to continue follow-up drilling at Rupice, targeting its southwest and northeast extensions. Drilling and borehole electromagnetic geophysical work will also continue at Droskovac-Brezik. The Company plans to commence drilling at Medujak and Borovica, as well as downhole transient electromagnetic surveying across the Rupice-Borovica area.

The Company has decreased its guidance for Vareš brownfield exploration to a range of $3 million to $4 million, down from the initial guidance of $10 million to $11 million, due primarily to timing of spend. The Company has also planned $1 million to $2 million for Bosnia and Herzegovina greenfield exploration in 2026. Exploration expenditure incurred during the first nine months of the year totalled $2.6 million.

Balance Sheet Strength and Financial Flexibility

The Company continues to maintain a strong cash and liquidity position and is well-positioned to fund growth, ending the quarter with a cash position of $839.2 million, no debt and an undrawn $400.0 million revolving credit facility with an accordion feature to $550.0 million.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $341.4 million in the first nine months of 2026 due primarily to earnings generated in the period, partially offset by payments for shares repurchased under the NCIB, cash outlays for capital expenditures, cash redemptions under the share-based compensation plans, income taxes paid and dividends paid.

Return of Capital to Shareholders

In line with its disciplined capital allocation framework, DPM continues to return excess capital to shareholders, which currently includes a sustainable quarterly dividend and periodic share repurchases under the NCIB.

During the first nine months of 2026, the Company returned a total of $171.7 million to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 4.0 million shares, for a total cash payment of $145.2 million, and $26.5 million of dividends paid. From October 1 to November 11, 2026, the Company purchased additional 1,255,759 shares at a total cost of $48.8 million, bringing year-to-date 2026 repurchases to 5,259,107 shares, for an aggregate cost of $198.4 million.

On November 12, 2026, the Company declared a dividend of $0.04 per common share payable on January 15, 2027 to shareholders of record on December 31, 2026.

2026 Guidance and Three-year Outlook

With continued strong operating performance in the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, the Company is on track to meet its guidance for 2026. DPM expects to be at the higher end of GEO production of 305,000 to 365,000 ounces, and to be in line with its all-in sustaining cost guidance of $1,300 to $1,450 per GEO sold, subject to dynamics such as the mark-to-market impact of DPM's share price, as well as other movements as outlined below relative to guidance assumptions.

The three-year outlook previously issued in DPM’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2025 remains unchanged, except for the following updates to the Company’s guidance for 2026:

• Exploration expenses are now expected to be between $75 million and $80 million, up from the initial guidance range of $60 million to $70 million, reflecting positive results to date. The updated guidance supports additional drilling associated with the Brevene Porphyry South licence, with an initial mineral resource estimate targeted for the second half of 2027, and the Wedge Zone (Block 250) at Chelopech, where ramp development is commencing in the fourth quarter of 2026, as well as Serbian drilling programs. This increase is partially offset by the expected lower costs for the Vareš brownfield exploration due to timing of activities.
• Growth capital expenditures have been updated as follows:
  • At Vareš, growth capital expenditures are now expected to be between $90 million to $100 million, down from the initial guidance range of $100 million to $125 million, reflecting the earlier than expected declaration of commercial production at the mine operations and the corresponding reduction in capitalized pre-commercial production operating costs, and lower gross cash cost; and
  • At Chelopech, growth capital expenditures are now expected to be between $9 million and $10 million, up from the initial guidance range of $4 million to $5 million. The updated guidance supports engineering and design work related to the development of twin declines to Wedge Zone (Block 250), as DPM continues to target first production in late 2028. Development costs at Wedge Zone (Block 250) will be capitalized to mine properties at Chelopech upon completion of the initial mineral resource estimate, which is planned before year-end.
  • Exploration expenses are now expected to be between $75 million and $80 million, up from the initial guidance range of $60 million to $70 million, reflecting positive results to date. The updated guidance supports additional drilling associated with the Brevene Porphyry South licence, with an initial mineral resource estimate targeted for the second half of 2027, and the Wedge Zone (Block 250) at Chelopech, where ramp development is commencing in the fourth quarter of 2026, as well as Serbian drilling programs.

Development costs at Wedge Zone (Block 250) will be capitalized to mine properties at Chelopech upon completion of the initial mineral resource estimate, which is planned before year-end.

  The Company’s three-year outlook for the Čoka Rakita project remains unchanged. Following the October 25, 2026 parliamentary election in the Republic of Serbia, the Company notes that administrative and regulatory decision-making timelines may be extended while the new government is formed and the National Assembly is convened. DPM is continuing to advance engineering and procurement activities for the project and remains committed to the project with timeline updates, if necessary, to be provided in due course.

  Certain key cost measures in the Company’s detailed guidance for 2026 are sensitive to market assumptions, including metal prices, oil prices and foreign exchange rates. The following table demonstrates the sensitivity in these market assumptions over the balance of the year on the consolidated GEO sold and all-in sustaining cost per GEO sold provided in the 2026 guidance.

  	Assumptions	Hypothetical change	GEO sold (Koz)	All-in sustaining cost per GEO sold ($/oz)
  Metal Prices
  Gold	$4,200/oz	+/- 10%	-3/+4	+15/-17
  Silver	$50/oz	+/- 10%	+/-1	-/+6
  Copper	$5.00/lb	+/- 10%	+/-1	-/+3
  Zinc	$1.30/lb	+/- 10%	+/-1	-/+3
  Lead	$0.90/lb	+/- 10%	+/-1	-/+ 2
  Oil Price	$65/barrel	+/-$10/barrel	N/A	+/- 3
  Foreign Exchange
  Euro/US$	1.20	+/- 10%	N/A	+/- 29

  (1)

  The Company’s 2026 guidance assumes an oil price of $65 per barrel. The increase in crude oil prices beginning in March 2026 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s all-in sustaining cost per GEO sold in the first nine months of 2026. However, if oil prices remain elevated under the current geopolitical environment, the Company expects higher costs for diesel consumed in mine operations, as well as for freight charges included in selling cost, which are sensitive to oil prices. For the balance of 2026, each $10 per barrel change in the oil price is expected to impact the Company’s all-in sustaining cost by approximately $3 per GEO sold, comprising an estimated $1 per GEO impact from direct diesel costs and $2 per GEO impact from freight charges.

  Non-GAAP Financial Measures

  Certain financial measures referred to in this news release are not measures recognized under IFRS and are referred to as non-GAAP financial measures or ratios. These measures have no standardized meanings under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The definitions established and calculations performed by DPM are based on management’s reasonable judgment and are consistently applied. These measures are used by management and investors to assist with assessing the Company’s performance, including its ability to generate sufficient cash flow to meet its return objectives and support its investing activities and debt service obligations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance. These measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with IFRS. Non-GAAP financial measures and ratios, together with other financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, are considered to be important factors that assist investors in assessing the Company’s performance.

  Cash cost and all-in sustaining cost measures

  Mine cash cost; mine cash cost of sales; and all-in sustaining cost are non-GAAP financial measures. Cash cost per tonne of ore processed; cash cost per GEO sold; and all-in sustaining cost per GEO sold are non-GAAP ratios. These measures capture the important components of the Company’s production and related costs. Management and investors utilize these metrics as an important tool to monitor cost performance at the Company’s operations. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses certain of these measures, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

  The following table provides a reconciliation of the Company’s cash cost per tonne of ore processed to its cost of sales:

  Adjusted net earnings (loss) and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share

  Adjusted net earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and adjusted basic earnings (loss) per share is a non-GAAP ratio used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. Adjusted net earnings (loss) are defined as net earnings (loss), adjusted to exclude specific items that are significant, but not reflective of the underlying operations of the Company, including:

  • impairment charges or reversals thereof;
  • unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value;
  • significant tax adjustments not related to current period earnings; and
  • non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.

  The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings to net earnings. All adjusting items in the table below were recognized in other (income) expense, with the exception of the non-cash fair value adjustment on inventories which was recognized in cost of sales, in the condensed interim consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

  Adjusted EBITDA

  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure used by management and investors to measure the underlying operating performance of the Company’s operating segments. Presenting these measures from period to period helps management and investors evaluate earnings trends more readily in comparison with results from prior periods. In addition, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors uses adjusted EBITDA, together with other measures, to set incentive compensation goals and assess performance.

  Adjusted EBITDA excludes the following from earnings before income taxes:

  • depreciation and amortization;
  • interest income;
  • finance cost;
  • impairment charges or reversals thereof;
  • unrealized and realized gains or losses related to investments carried at fair value; and
  • non-recurring or unusual income or expenses that are either not related to the Company’s operating segments or unlikely to occur on a regular basis.
