Results from the 2025 PFS were announced by the Company on December 1, 2025. Refer to the news
release entitled “Thesis Gold Announces Positive Prefeasibility Study for Lawyers -Ranch Project: After-
Tax NPV5% of $2.37 Billion and 54.4% IRR”.
The Report, entitled “Lawyers-Ranch Project NI 43-101 Technical Report and Pre-feasibility Study”, was
prepared by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC., Mining Plus Canada Ltd., Knight Piésold Ltd.,
Equilibrium Mining Inc., P&E Mining Consultants Inc., pHase Geochemistry Inc., F. Wright Consulting
Inc, and SLR Consulting Ltd. in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for
Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").
2025 PFS Highlights
• Strong Economics at US$2,900 per ounce of gold (oz Au) and US$35 per ounce of silver (oz Ag)
o Pre-tax: 73.5%, internal rate of return ("IRR") and $3.73 billion net present value at a 5%
discount rate ("NPV5%")
o After-tax: IRR of 54.4% and an NPV5% of $2.37 billion
o Quick Payback period of 1.1 years
• Significant Upside at US$4,100/oz Au and US$51/oz Ag:
o Pre-tax: 117.4% IRR and $6.86 billion NPV5%
o After-tax: 87.8% IRR and $4.36 billion NPV5%
• Strong Early Production: Strong gold -equivalent ("AuEq")* annual production rates for the first
three years averaging 266,000 ounces**, and 187,000 ounces** over a 15 -year Life of Mine
("LOM").
• Mineral Reserve: Maiden Mineral Reserve statement with 76.16 million tonnes of ore grading 0.97
g/t Au and 28 g/t Ag for a total AuEq* grade of 1.33 g/t.
• Low All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC†"): Average AISC† of US$1,185 per AuEq** ounce.
• Significant Exposure to Silver: Silver production accounts for approximately 23% of revenue.
• Capex: Initial capital expenditure is estimated at $736.2 million, with a compelling after -tax
NPV5%:initial capital ratio of 3.2:1. The initial capital estimate does not consider a potential
revenue of $91.1 million in pre-production revenue from processing stockpiles as part of the initial
commissioning and ramp-up plan.
• Project Upside: Significant project upside exists both in the potential to further optimize
engineering design through a Feasibility Study, and in the project -wide exploration potential that
remains untapped.
*AuEq reported for the mined materials/mill feed in mineral resource estimate and mineral reserve estimates assumes a conversion
of 80:1 for Ag to AuEq based on expected average expected recoveries of 93% Au and 86.1% Ag at US$2,000/oz Au and $24.50/oz
Ag.
- 2 -
**AuEq production values are based on payable ounces as calculated by the financial model and have varying gold and silver
recoveries by deposit at a US$2,900/oz Au and US$35/oz Ag.
AISC† costs consist of mining costs, processing costs, mine -level G&A, offsite charges, royalties, sustaining capital, expansion
capital, and closure costs.
The 2025 PFS is available on SEDAR+ and on the Company’s website, www.thesisgold.com.

All-in Sustaining Cost and AISC per AuEq Ounce
AISC is reflective of all of the costs that are required to produce an ounce of gold from operations. AISC
includes mining costs, processing costs, mine -level G&A, offsite charges, royalties, sustaining capital,
expansion capital, and closure costs . AISC per AuEq ounce is calculated by dividing total AISC by the
LOM payable AuEq ounces.
