Amounts presented above are aggregate balances of certain line items presented in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings and Comprehensive Income.

1This is a non-GAAP measure with no standard meaning under IFRS.

Revenue

Revenue increased by 33% as compared to 2024 due to a 44% increase in the average realized gold price, partially offset by an

8% decrease in gold oz sold. The lower gold oz sold in 2025 is the result of a 7% decline in gold production from an expected

decrease in ore grades.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales excluding depreciation and depletion increased by 20% as compared to 2024 from a 7% increase in tonnes

processed; a 4% appreciation of the XOF currency against the USD on local costs; and a write-down reversal of $8.9M on long-

term stockpiled ore recognized in 2024 with no such reversal in 2025.

Royalties

Royalties increased by 57% as compared to 2024 as a result of a 44% increase in the average realized gold price and higher

government royalty rates enacted into law in April 2025.

EBITDA

EBITDA of $173.6M was 35% higher than the comparative 2024 year from the increase in revenues, partially offset by the

increase in cost of sales and royalties as described above; $6.3M in higher exploration and evaluation costs as a result of the

multi-year drill program at the Bomboré gold mine that commenced in late 2024; and a $6.9M increase in other loss, primarily

driven by adverse foreign exchange movements and a fair value loss on the Company’s silver stream obligation from higher

forecasted future silver prices.

Depreciation and Depletion

Depreciation and depletion increased 19% as compared to 2024 due to additional tonnes processed and more completed capital

expenditures subject to depletion.

Finance Expense

Finance expense decreased by $3.5M as compared to 2024 which reflects scheduled principal repayments on the Company’s

Phase I senior loan with Coris Bank. Borrowing costs on the Phase II senior loan used to finance the construction of the hard

rock process plant were capitalized.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense in 2025 is attributable to earnings generated by the Bomboré mine. The higher tax expense in 2025 is the

result of improved mine earnings from a significantly better realized gold price. Also, the 2024 total tax expense included a $7.5M

deferred tax recovery on the recognition of previously unrecognized tax attributes for the Bomboré mine.

LIQUIDITY SUMMARY

As of 31 December 2025, the Company had available liquidity of $111.8M, with cash of $97.9M and bullion inventory (3,175 oz)

with a market value of $13.9M.

2025 OPERATIONAL REVIEW

Orezone is a gold producer operating the Bomboré gold mine in Burkina Faso. In 2025, the Company advanced its transition from

an oxide-only operation towards a significantly larger, integrated oxide and hard rock producer.

Gold production at the Bomboré mine in 2025 was 110,014 oz as compared to 118,746 oz in 2024. The 7% decrease in gold

production was attributable to a decline in head grades, partially offset by an increase in plant throughput.

Lower oxide grades were expected in 2025 as higher grade pits were sequenced in earlier years of the mine plan. Ore supply for

the oxide plant was maintained throughout the year, with supplemental stockpiles utilized during periods of restricted access

caused by seasonal rainfall.

Construction of the 2.5Mtpa stage 1 hard rock expansion was completed in 2025, with first gold announced on December 15,

2025. Mill throughput rates were successfully increased through the remainder of 2025, with commissioning grades below plan as

the result of adjusted mine sequencing due to (1) pending explosive storage permit approval and (2) the intermittent availability of

explosive stocks. Subsequent to year-end, commercial production was declared on the hard rock expansion on January 16,

2026.
