Magna Mining Reports Third Quarter 2025
Financial Results
Sudbury, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 25, 2025) - Magna Mining Inc. (TSXV: NICU) (OTCQX:
MGMNF) (FSE: 8YD) (the "Company" or "Magna") is pleased to report third quarter 2025 financial
results. Management will host a conference call tomorrow, November 26, 2025, at 8:00am EST to
discuss the results. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Highlights
The three months ended September 30, 2025 ("Q3 2025") was Magna's second full quarter of
production at the McCreedy West copper-precious metals Mine ("McCreedy West"), located in
Sudbury, Ontario, Canada.
Total ore processed in Q3 2025 was 75,215 tons from the 700 Footwall Copper Zone (see
news
release dated October 22, 2025
) at a grade of 2.64% copper equivalent ("CuEq")
1
.
Quarterly production of 2.7 million pounds ("lbs") CuEq at cash costs* of US$5.10/lb CuEq was
impacted by the previously disclosed compressed air system failure and power related delays,
which delayed access to higher grade stopes and has since been rectified.
Sustaining capital expenditures at McCreedy West totalled $4.1 million during the quarter, a 123%
increase from Q2 of 2025, including $2.7 million towards critical capital development and $1.4
million in fixed and mobile machinery upgrades, focused on improving asset reliability moving
forward.
Underground development during the quarter totalled 1,796 feet and continues to be prioritized in
Q4 to provide increased production optionality and flexibility to support a more robust operating
plan in 2026.
Ended Q3 2025 with a cash balance of $63.1 million and subsequent to September 30 the
Company issued 14,933,518 common shares upon the exercise of warrants for proceeds of $6.0
million.
* Refer to the section entitled "Non-IFRS Performance Measures" for the reconciliation of these non-IFRS measurements to the financial
statements.
Jason Jessup, CEO, commented "During the third quarter of 2025, Magna executed on our plan to focus
on investing in the underground development, diamond drilling, equipment and site infrastructure at
McCreedy West. The goal of this plan is to access new areas of the mine with higher grade stopes, build
in consistency and flexibility to the mine plan and position the operation to execute profitable production
in 2026. To this end, we had a successful quarter, and we will be starting to realize the benefits going
into Q1 2026. Access to higher grade stopes was achieved in early November following the resolution of
the operational issues which impacted Q3 2025 production. We are on track to meet the lower end of
our quarterly ore sales guidance in Q4 2025 and continue to prioritize efforts to optimize McCreedy
West operations in 2026. I am proud of the team that we have assembled at our McCreedy West Mine
and I am confident in their abilities to deliver in the future. We are well-funded to complete this work as
well as advance our other Sudbury projects, while continuing to aggressively explore for new copper and
precious metals-rich footwall deposits following our recent brokered equity offering and from the
exercise of warrants which expired in early November."

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, contained or incorporated by reference in this
press release constitute "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" (collectively,
"forward-looking statements") within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Generally, these forward-
looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as "may", "might",
"potential", "expect", "anticipate", "estimate", "believe", "could", "should", "would", "will", "continue",
"intend", "plan", "forecast", "prospective", "significant" or other similar words or phrases or variations
thereof. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based upon a number of assumptions that, while
considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to business, market economic, technical
and other risks, uncertainties and contingencies that may cause actual results, performance or

including risks and uncertainties relating to the failure of additional drilling to support assumptions,
expectations or estimates of potential mineralization, metal tonnes or grade, such as the mineralization
of the Morrison Deposit at the Levack mine, the failure of additional drilling to support expansion or
delineation of currently estimated resources, the lack of availability of drill rigs or platforms to implement
exploration or other programs or the failure to proceed as quickly as planned with additional exploration,
production or other drilling, continued delays for assay results, the failure to proceed as quickly as
planned with or to complete additional development work as anticipated, such as additional
development at the McCreedy West mine to access new stopes or the development of a ramp from the
surface of, or recommissioning of the hoisting plant at, Levack, the failure to proceed as quickly as
planned with a restart of mining at Levack, assuming there will be any restart, the failure to realize
anticipated or assumed production and operational improvements from current or planned optimization
initiatives at McCreedy West, the failure to successfully realize on talent or technical expertise to unlock
the long-term, sustainable potential of McCreedy West, Levack or other assets of the Company and
other risks disclosed in the Company's most recent annual management discussion and analysis,
available on the SEDAR+ website (at:

NON-IFRS PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Please see below for the reconciliation of non-IFRS measures referred to in this news release to the
consolidated financial statements.
Average realized price per copper equivalent payable pound
Average realized price per copper equivalent payable pound is a non-IFRS Accounting Standards
measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS Accounting Standards and does not
have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS Accounting Standards. Average realized price per
copper equivalent payable pound is calculated by dividing total metal proceeds received by the
Company for the relevant period by the copper equivalent payable pounds. It may not be comparable to
information in other issuers' reports and filings.

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

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

Cash Margin
Cash margin is a non-IFRS Accounting Standards measure and does not constitute a measure
recognized by IFRS Accounting Standards and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS
Accounting Standards, as well it may not be comparable to information in other issuers' reports and
filings. It is calculated as the difference between total sales revenue, net of smelting, refining and
treatment costs from mining operations and cash mine site operating costs (see Cash cost per ounce of
gold sold under this Section above) per the Company's Financial Statements. The Company believes it
illustrates the performance of the Company's operating mines and enables investors to better
understand the Company's performance in comparison to other metal producers who present results on
a similar basis.

All-in Sustaining Costs
All-in sustaining costs (
"AISC"
) include mine site operating costs incurred at Magna mining operations,
sustaining mine capital and development expenditures, mine site exploration expenditures and
equipment lease payments related to the mine operations and corporate administration expenses. The
Company believes that this measure represents the total costs of producing copper equivalent payable
pounds from current operations and provides Magna and other stakeholders with additional information
that illustrates the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. This cost
measure seeks to reflect the full cost of copper production from current operations on a per-pound basis
of copper equivalent payable. New project and growth capital are not included.

Free cash flow and operating and free cash flow per share
Free cash flow is calculated by taking net cash provided by operating activities less cash used in capital
expenditures and lease payments as reported in the Company's financial statements. Free cash flow per
share is calculated by dividing free cash flow by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for
the period.
Operating cash flow per share is a non-IFRS Accounting Standards measure and does not constitute a
measure recognized by IFRS Accounting Standards and does not have a standardized meaning defined
by IFRS Accounting Standards. Operating cash flow per share is calculated by dividing cash flow from
operating activities in the Company's Financial Statements by the weighted average number of shares
outstanding for each year. It may not be comparable to information in other issuers' reports and filings.
