------

**DIFFERENCES IN UNITED STATES AND CANADIAN REPORTING PRACTICES**

This annual report on Form 40-F 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 Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects 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. These definitions differ from the definitions in the disclosure requirements promulgated by the SEC. Accordingly, information contained in this annual report on Form 40-F, the documents attached hereto and the documents incorporated by reference herein may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies reporting pursuant to SEC disclosure requirements.

The Company prepares its audited annual financial statements, which are filed as an exhibit to this annual report on Form 40-F, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. As a result, the Company's financial statements may not be comparable to financial statements of U.S. companies prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

**DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*A.Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.* See page 60 of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*B.Management's report on internal control over financial reporting*. This annual report on Form 40-F does not include a report of management's assessment regarding internal control over financial reporting due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*C.Attestation report of the registered public accounting firm*. This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm due to a transition period established by rules of the SEC for newly public companies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*D.Changes in internal control over financial reporting*. See page 60 of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, which information is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that its disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

------

**NOTICES PURSUANT TO REGULATION BTR**

The Company was not required by Rule 104 of Regulation BTR to send any notices to any of its directors or executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The Board has determined that Mr. Richard Graff is an audit committee financial expert and is independent, as that term is defined by the Exchange Act and the New York Stock Exchange's corporate governance standards applicable to the Company.

The SEC has indicated that the designation of a person as an audit committee financial expert does not make such person an "expert" for any purpose, impose on such person any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than those imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee and the Board in the absence of such designation and does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the audit committee or Board.

**CODE OF ETHICS**

The Board has adopted a written code of ethics entitled, "Code of Conduct" (as amended from time to time, the "Code"), by which it and all officers and employees of the Company, including the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer or controller, abide. There were no waivers granted in respect of the Code during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The Code is posted on the Company's website at <u>www.alliedgold.com</u>. A copy of the Code may also be obtained by contacting the Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary of the Company at the address or telephone number indicated on the cover page of this annual report on Form 40-F. If there is an amendment to the Code, or if a waiver of the Code is granted to any of Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, the Company intends to disclose any such amendment or waiver by posting such information on the Company's website. Unless and to the extent specifically referred to herein, the information on the Company's website shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this annual report on Form 40-F.

No audit-related fees, tax fees or other non-audit fees were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

**OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS**

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet transactions that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

**ALLIED GOLD CORPORATION**

(the "Company")

**CLAWBACK POLICY**

The Board of Directors ("**Board**") of the Company has adopted this Clawback Policy (the "**Policy**") in accordance with New York Stock Exchange (the "**NYSE**") listing requirements effective as of the 6<sup>th</sup> day of May, 2025

**1. Application of Policy**

This Policy applies in the event of any accounting restatement ("**Restatement**") of the Company's financial results due to its material non-compliance with financial reporting requirements under applicable U.S. federal securities laws ("**Financial Reporting Requirements**"), including both (A) big "R" Restatements that correct a material error to previously issued financial statements; and (B) little "r" Restatements that correct errors that are not material to previously issued financial statements, but would result in a material misstatement if (a) the errors were left uncorrected in the current report or (b) the error correction was recognized in the current period. This Policy does not apply to Restatements that are required for reasons other than non-compliance with Financial Reporting Requirements, such as, but not limited to, a retrospective: (1) application of a change in accounting principles or their interpretation; (2) revision to reportable segment information due to a change in the structure of the Company's internal organization; (3) reclassification due to a discontinued operation; (4) application of a change in reporting entity, such as from a reorganization of entities under common control; (5) adjustment to provision amounts in connection with a prior business combination; and (6) revision for stock splits, reverse stock splits, dividends or other changes in capital structure (collectively the "**Restatement Exclusions**"). This Policy is intended to comply with the requirements of Rule 10D-1 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the requirements of the NYSE.

**2. Executive Officers Subject to the Policy**

The "executive officers" of the Company are covered by this Policy. This includes the Company's current or former C-Suite Officers including President and Executive Vice-Presidents, as well as any Senior Vice-President or Vice-President of the Company in charge of a principal business unit, division or function, and any other current or former officer or person who performs a significant policy-making function for the Company, including executive officers of Company subsidiaries (the "Executive Officers"). All of these Executive Officers are subject to this Policy, even if an Executive Officer had no responsibility for the financial statement errors which required restatement.

------

**3. Compensation Subject to the Policy**

3.1This Policy applies to any incentive-based compensation received by an Executive Officer during the period (the "**Clawback Period**") consisting of any of the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.1the date that the Company's Board (or Audit Committee) concludes, or reasonably should have concluded, that the Company is required to prepare a Restatement, or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.1.2the date that a court, regulator, or other legally authorized body directs the Company to prepare a Restatement.

3.2This Policy covers all incentive-based compensation, including any cash compensation or equity compensation under the Company's equity compensation plans or cash-settled performance and deferred share unit plans, that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part upon the attainment of any "financial reporting measure". Financial reporting measures are those that are determined and presented in accordance with the accounting principles used in preparing the Company's financial statements and any measures derived wholly or in part from such financial information (including non-GAAP measures, stock price and total shareholder return). Incentive-based compensation is deemed "received" in the fiscal period during which the applicable financial reporting measure (as specified in the terms of the award) is attained, even if the payment or grant occurs after the end of that fiscal period.

3.3Incentive-based compensation does not include base annual salary, compensation which is awarded based solely on service to the Company (e.g. a time-vested award, including time-vesting stock options or deferred share units), nor does it include compensation which is awarded based on subjective standards, qualitative requirements, strategic measures (e.g. completion of a merger) or operational measures (e.g. attainment of a certain market share).

**4. Amount Required to be Repaid Pursuant to this Policy**

4.1The amount of incentive-based compensation that must be repaid (subject to the few limitations discussed below) is the amount of incentive-based compensation received by the Executive Officer that exceeds the amount of incentive-based compensation that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the Restatement (the "**Recoverable Amount**"). The Company will determine whether, based on that financial reporting measure as calculated relying on the financial statements prior to the Restatement, an Executive Officer received a greater amount of incentive-based compensation than would have been received based on that financial reporting measure as calculated relying on the financial statements after the Restatement. Where incentive-based compensation is based only in part on the achievement of a financial reporting measure performance goal, the Company will determine the portion of the original incentive-based compensation based on or derived from the financial reporting measure which was restated and will recalculate the affected portion based on the financial reporting measure as restated to determine the difference between the greater amount based on the original financial statements and the lesser amount that would have been received based on the Restatement. The Recoverable Amounts will be calculated on a pre-tax basis to ensure that the Company recovers the full amount of incentive-based compensation that was erroneously awarded.

4.2In no event shall the Company be required to award Executive Officers an additional payment if the restated or accurate financial results would have resulted in a higher incentive compensation payment.

4.3If equity compensation (including cash-settled awards) is recoverable due to being granted to the Executive Officer (when the accounting results were the reason the equity compensation was granted) or vested by the Executive Officer (when the accounting results were the reason the equity compensation was vested), in each case during the Clawback Period, the Company will recover the excess portion of the equity award (including cash-settled awards) that would not have been granted or vested based on

------

the financial reporting measure as calculated relying on the financial statements after the Restatement, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.1if the equity award (including cash-settled awards) is still outstanding, the Executive Officer will forfeit the excess portion of the award;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.2if the equity award has been exercised or settled into shares (the "**Underlying Shares**"), and the Executive Officer still holds the Underlying Shares, the Company will recover the number of Underlying Shares relating to the excess portion of the award (less any exercise price paid for the Underlying Shares); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.3If the equity award has been exercised or settled into cash, the Company will recover the cash relating to the excess portion of the award (less any exercise price paid); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.3.4if the Underlying Shares have been sold by the Executive Officer, the Company will recover the proceeds received by the Executive Officer from the sale of the Underlying Shares relating to the excess portion of the award (less any exercise price paid for the Underlying Shares).

4.4The Board will take such action as it deems appropriate, in its sole and absolute discretion, reasonably promptly to recover the Recoverable Amount, unless it determines that it would be impracticable to recover such amount because: (1) the direct costs of enforcing recovery would exceed the Recoverable Amount, (2) recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and regulations thereunder, or (3) the recovery of the incentive-based compensation (including cash-settled awards) would violate the home-country laws of the Company.

**5. Additional Clawback Required by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002**

5.1In addition to the provisions described above, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company, as a result of misconduct, with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, then, in accordance with Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (at the time the financial document embodying such financial reporting requirement was originally issued) shall reimburse the Company for:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.1any bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation received from the Company during the 12-month period following the first public issuance or filing with the applicable securities commissions (whichever first occurs) of such financial document; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.1.2any profits realized from the sale of securities of the Company during that 12-month period.

**6. Crediting of Recovery Amounts**

To the extent that Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this Policy (the "**Rule 10D-1 Clawback Requirements**") would provide for recovery of incentive-based compensation recoverable by the Company pursuant to Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, in accordance with subsection E of this Policy (the "**Sarbanes-Oxley Clawback Requirements**"), and/or any other recovery obligations (including pursuant to employment agreements, or plan awards), the amount such Executive Officer has already reimbursed the Company shall be credited to the required recovery under the Rule 10D-1 Clawback Requirements. Recovery pursuant to the Rule 10D-1 Clawback Requirements does not preclude recovery under the Sarbanes-Oxley Clawback Requirements, to the extent any applicable amounts have not been reimbursed to the Company.

**7. General Provisions**

7.1The Board has the authority to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate or advisable for the administration of this Policy. All determinations and decisions made by the Board pursuant to the provisions of this Policy shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Company, its subsidiaries and the persons to whom this Policy applies.

7.2The provisions of this Policy apply to the fullest extent required by law; provided however, to the extent that any provisions of this Policy are found to be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law, such provision will be applied to the maximum extent permitted, and shall automatically be deemed amended in a manner consistent with its objectives to the extent necessary to conform to any limitations required under applicable law.

7.3This Policy is in addition to (and not in lieu of) any right of repayment, forfeiture or right of offset against any Executive Officer that is required pursuant to any other statutory repayment requirement (regardless of whether implemented at any time prior to or following the adoption of this Policy). Nothing in this Policy in any way detracts from or limits any obligation that those subject to it have in law or pursuant to a management, employment, consulting or other agreement with the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

7.4The remedies available to the Board under this Policy shall not be exhaustive and nothing herein shall preclude the Company from taking any disciplinary actions in respects of the acts or conduct of an Executive Officer as Company deems appropriate in the circumstances, up to and including termination of employment, as well as any other remedies or recourses available to the Company.

7.5This Policy shall not be deemed to contradict the existing terms of any outstanding agreements, plans, programs or other arrangements pursuant to which incentive compensation may be awarded or paid by the Company and shall supersede any such agreements, plans, programs or other arrangements to the extent of any inconsistency with this Policy.

7.6The Company will not indemnify or provide insurance to cover any repayment of incentive-based compensation in accordance with this Policy.

7.7This Policy shall be reviewed annually and may be amended from time to time. Changes to this Policy will be communicated to all persons to whom this Policy applies, and any such amendment shall only apply to incentive-based compensation paid or awarded after the date the amendment becomes effective, unless otherwise required under the Rule 10D-1 Clawback Requirements or the Sarbanes-Oxley Clawback Requirements.

Unless otherwise noted, financial information is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as outlined in Part 1 of the Handbook of the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada and include some amounts that are based on management's estimates and judgement.

**Scientific and Technical Information**

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. The estimates of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources presented in this AIF may be affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing and other relevant modifying factors. The Company's current technical reports, which are available under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>, contain further details regarding Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates, classification, reporting parameters, key assumptions and risks for each of the Company's material mineral properties.

Unless otherwise stated in this AIF and with the relevant terms defined herein, all scientific and technical information in respect of Sadiola and Kurmuk has been reviewed and approved by the authors

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 3 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

of the Sadiola Report and Kurmuk Report (both as defined below), and all other scientific and technical information has been reviewed and approved by Mr. Sébastien Bernier, P.Geo., Senior Vice President, Technical Services of Allied. See "*Interests of Experts*".

Unless otherwise indicated, the estimated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for the Company's various mines and mineral projects set forth herein have been estimated in accordance with the 2014 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (the "**CIM Standards**"). The following definitions are reproduced from the CIM Standards:

The term "***Mineral Resource****"* means a concentration or occurrence of solid material of economic interest in or on the Earth's crust in such form, grade or quality and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. The location, quantity, grade or quality, continuity and other geological characteristics of a Mineral Resource are known, estimated or interpreted from specific geological evidence and knowledge, including sampling. Material of economic interest refers to diamonds, natural solid inorganic material, or natural solid fossilized organic material including base and precious metals, coal, and industrial minerals. Mineral Resources are subdivided, in order of increasing geological confidence, into Inferred, Indicated and Measured categories.

The term "***Inferred Mineral Resource"*** means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of limited geological evidence and sampling. Geological evidence is sufficient to imply but not verify geological and grade or quality continuity. An Inferred Mineral Resource is based on limited information and sampling gathered through appropriate sampling techniques from locations such as outcrops, trenches, pits, workings and drill holes.

The term "***Indicated Mineral Resource****"* means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape and physical characteristics are estimated with sufficient confidence to allow the application of Modifying Factors (as defined herein) in sufficient detail to support mine planning and evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from adequately detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to assume geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation.

The term *"****Measured Mineral Resource****"* means that part of a Mineral Resource for which quantity, grade or quality, densities, shape, and physical characteristics are estimated with confidence sufficient to allow the application of Modifying Factors to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Geological evidence is derived from detailed and reliable exploration, sampling and testing and is sufficient to confirm geological and grade or quality continuity between points of observation.

The term *"****Mineral Reserve****"* means the economically mineable part of a Measured and/or Indicated Mineral Resource. It includes diluting materials and allowances for losses, which may occur when the material is mined or extracted and is defined by studies at pre-feasibility or feasibility level as appropriate that include application of Modifying Factors. Such studies demonstrate that, at the time of reporting, extraction could reasonably be justified. Mineral Reserves are subdivided, in order of increasing confidence, into Probable Mineral Reserves (as defined herein) and Proven Mineral Reserves (as defined herein). Mineral Reserves are inclusive of diluting material that will be mined in conjunction with the Mineral Reserves and delivered to the treatment plant or equivalent facility.

The term *"****Probable Mineral Reserve****"* means the economically mineable part of an Indicated, and in some circumstances, a Measured Mineral Resource. The confidence in the Modifying Factors applying to a Probable Mineral Reserve is lower than that applying to a Proven Mineral Reserve.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 4 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Probable Mineral Reserve estimates must be demonstrated to be economic, at the time of reporting, by at least a pre-feasibility study.

The term *"****Proven Mineral Reserve****"* means the economically mineable part of a Measured Mineral Resource. A Proven Mineral Reserve implies a high degree of confidence in the Modifying Factors. Proven Mineral Reserve estimates must be demonstrated to be economic, at the time of reporting, by at least a pre-feasibility study.

The term "***Modifying Factors***" means considerations used to convert Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves. These include, but are not restricted to, mining, processing, metallurgical, infrastructure, economic, marketing, legal, environmental, social and governmental factors.

**Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures**

In this AIF, the Company uses certain non-GAAP financial performance measures and non-GAAP ratios to supplement the Company's financial statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including all-in sustaining costs ("**AISC**") per ounce of gold sold (closest IFRS measure is cost of sales, excluding DA).

The Company believes that these measures and ratios, 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 and ratios do not have any standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore they may not be comparable to similar measures employed by other companies. The data 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. 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 duly noted and retrospectively applied as applicable. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.

***Cash Costs and All-In Sustaining Costs per Gold Ounce Sold***

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 measures, as determined under IFRS, are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flows from operating activities.

The measure of AISC, along with revenue from sales, is considered to be a key indicator 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. The term "AISC per ounce of gold sold" is a non-GAAP ratio and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS, and therefore may not be comparable to similar non-GAAP financial performance measures employed by other companies. Non-GAAP financial performance measures 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 profit or cash flows presented under IFRS.

AISC figures are calculated 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

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 5 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

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 mine site operating costs such as mining, processing, administration, production taxes and royalties, which are not based on sales or taxable income calculations, but are exclusive of depreciation and amortization, exploration costs, accretion and amortization of reclamation and remediation, and capital, development and exploration spend. Further, AISC include 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, depreciation and amortization, income tax payments, borrowing costs and dividend payments. AISC include 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. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization. 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.

For a description and reconciliation of AISC and other non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable measures under IFRS, please refer to the heading "Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures" in the Company's management's discussion and analysis ("**MD&A**") for the year ended December 31, 2025, which section is incorporated by reference herein and is available under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

**GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS**

**Overview of the Business**

Allied is a Canadian-based emerging senior gold producer with a portfolio of three operating gold mines, a significant gold development project, and exploration properties throughout Africa, principally in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia. Allied plans to continue to build on this base through expansion and optimization initiatives at existing operating mines, development of new mines, the advancement of its exploration properties and, as appropriate, by targeting other consolidation opportunities with a primary focus in Africa. Allied operates its mines and projects under common corporate oversight. Within this structure, Allied's material properties consist of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sadiola gold mine (80% ownership), located in the Kayes Region of West Mali (the "**Sadiola Mine**" or "**Sadiola**"); and

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 7 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Kurmuk gold development project (100% ownership), located approximately 750 km from Addis Ababa in Western Ethiopia (the "**Kurmuk Project**" or "**Kurmuk**").

The Company's portfolio also includes the following properties, which are being managed as one business unit from a management and administrative perspective, in order to reduce in-country overhead costs associated with its ownership of the two neighboring, but not adjacent properties, sometimes collectively referred to as the Côte d'Ivoire Complex:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Bonikro gold mine (89.89% ownership), comprised of two exploitation permits (Bonikro and Hiré) and the two Dougbafla exploration permits, located approximately 100 km south of Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (the "**Bonikro Mine**" or "**Bonikro**"); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Agbaou gold mine (85% ownership), located approximately 100 km south of Yamoussoukro, Côte d'Ivoire (the "**Agbaou Mine**" or "**Agbaou**").

![picture2a.jpg](picture2a.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*(1)The "Côte d'Ivoire Complex" is comprised of Bonikro and Agbaou. The Bonikro and Agbaou Mines are currently operated as separate mining operations and do not use common or shared infrastructure. However, the Company believes that through future exploration work, there could be a scenario in which potential new deposits could leverage a combined installation providing future optionality.*

See "*Description of the Business – Material Properties*" and "*Description of the Business – Other Properties*".

**Three Year History**

Over the three most recently completed financial years, the Company executed its growth strategy with a particular focus on Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource expansion through accretive acquisitions and the advancement of exploration and project studies at the Company's existing assets. Owing to the completion of the Company's comprehensive funding package over the course of 2024 and 2025, including the 2024 Prospectus Financing (as herein defined), Credit Facility (as herein defined), Wheaton Stream (as herein defined), Triple Flag Stream (as herein defined) and Gold Prepaid Transaction (as herein defined), the April 2025 Prospectus Financing (as herein defined) and the October 2025 Prospectus Financing (as herein defined), the Company has additional liquidity, financial flexibility and an enhanced management construct to optimize and advance the Company's growth strategy,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 8 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

generating meaningful long-term value for its stakeholders. The following events contributed materially to the development of the Company's business over the past three financial years.

***Sustainable Production Platform and Outlook***

On February 18, 2026, Allied announced its 2026 operating guidance and near-term outlook extending through 2027. The Company's key focus for 2026 is to continue implementing its optimization plans to capture incremental production gains and reduce operating costs across its portfolio, thereby increasing margins and cash flows. Alongside this, the Company's key strategic priority is the completion of construction and the commencement of operations at the Kurmuk Project, expected in mid-2026, while continuing exploration efforts to extend mine life and enhance operational flexibility across its operations.

In 2026 the Company anticipates producing 485,000 to 575,000 gold ounces, representing a meaningful increase in production year-over-year, primarily driven by the anticipated contribution from Kurmuk in the second half of the year. Achieving the mid to high end of this guided range primarily hinges on capturing opportunities to feed additional oxide ore at Sadiola, and at Kurmuk, having access to full power from the grid by mid-Q2 in order to ramp up and stabilize plant operations efficiently and feed ore from the high-grade stockpiles.

Regarding costs, the projected mine-site level AISC<sup>1</sup> for 2026 is expected to be $1,750-$1,900 per ounce, reflecting a gold price assumption of $4,250 per ounce and its corresponding impact on royalties, improvements at current operations and the expected contribution of lower-cost production from Kurmuk.

***Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources***

Allied's near-term guidance and longer-term outlook are supported by its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, which ensure the reliability and sustainability of the Company's production platform while also providing the flexibility to increase near-term production and cash flows from high-yield near-mine targets. This year, Allied has conducted a thorough review of its mining design parameters, leading to the adoption of more conservative assumptions, especially regarding operational factors such as mining selectivity and dilution. This strategic adjustment aims to improve ore control procedures and the short-term predictability of operations. It also serves to offset the impact of the depletion resulting from mining activities in 2025. The Company is optimistic that its exploration efforts will continue to increase mineral inventories, with a goal to achieve additional growth by the end of 2026. This has been demonstrated with the declaration of Mineral Reserves at Oumé for the first time in 2025, significantly increasing the LOM at Bonikro, along with the inclusion of Stage 6.

As of December 31, 2025, the Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves were reported at 11.2 million ounces of gold, contained within 247.1 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. This figure remained relatively unchanged compared to the previous year. The stable reserve balance reflects the addition of new Mineral Reserves, the depletion of reserves due to production in 2025, and adjustments to the economic and design parameters outlined above. Similarly, the total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources stood at 15.3 million ounces of gold, contained within 336.7 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. This is nearly the same as the previous year's figure of 15.7 million ounces, with the slight decrease attributed to the conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources, which at year-end 2025 totaled 2.1 million ounces of gold contained within 54.1 million tonnes at a grade of 1.20 g/t.

The Company remains focused on increasing its mineral inventories to extend the mine life of its operations and projects and optimize its production plans by pursuing extensions of known mineralization

<sup>1</sup> This is a non-GAAP financial measure and ratio for which the closest IFRS measure is cost of sales, excluding DA. See "General Matters – Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures".

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 9 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

and near mine targets, as well as regional targets at each project. This focus also includes the prioritized addition to the oxide mineralization inventories at Sadiola and Côte d'Ivoire Complex. As noted, Allied is advancing its regional exploration programs, aimed at uncovering significant potential across its portfolio. This includes realizing exploration success at highly prospective locations such as Oumé, with maiden Mineral Reserves declared in 2025, located north of the Bonikro mill, Agbaou Pit extensions, FE2 Trend at Sadiola, Tambali at Sadiola, and Tsenge, a significant new discovery located southeast of the projected processing plant at Kurmuk.

***Proposed Acquisition by Zijin Gold***

On January 26, 2026, Allied entered into an arrangement agreement, as amended February 23, 2026 (the "**Arrangement Agreement**") with Zijin Gold International Company Limited ("**Zijin Gold**"), a public company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, pursuant to which, among other things, Zijin Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Allied (the "**Arrangement**"). The Arrangement will be implemented by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement in accordance with the *Business Corporations Act* (Ontario). Pursuant to the Arrangement, at the effective time of the Arrangement, Zijin Gold will acquire all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares and, in exchange, the holders of Common Shares will receive C$44.00 in cash for each Common Share held.

Completion of the Arrangement is subject to a number of conditions, including among others, (a) approval of the Arrangement by (i) not less than 66 2/3% of the Allied shareholders who vote (in person or by proxy) at a special meeting of shareholders of Allied, which was held on March 31, 2026 (the "**Meeting**"); and (ii) a simple majority of the votes cast on the Arrangement by Allied shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting, excluding 16,585,404 Common Shares held by certain directors and officers of the Corporation in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, in each case as modified by the interim order of the court; (c) the approval of the Arrangement by the court in form and substance acceptable to each of Zijin Gold and Allied, acting reasonably, (d) since the date of the Arrangement Agreement, there shall not have occurred any material adverse effect with respect to Allied that has not been cured; (e) the receipt of certain required regulatory approvals, including under the *Competition Act* (Canada), *Investment Canada Act* and applicable competition and regulatory approvals in various jurisdictions globally including the People's Republic of China; (f) other standard conditions for the closing for transactions of this nature including receipt of required third party consents; and (g) Allied shareholders not having validly exercised dissent rights in connection with the Arrangement with respect to more than 5% of the outstanding Common Shares. The Arrangement will not be subject to shareholder approval at Zijin Gold.

With the requisite Allied shareholder approval having been obtained on March 31, 2026 and regulatory approvals in progress, the goal remains to close as soon as possible and before the outside date in the Agreement, with the continuing objective of closing at the end of April, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and final court approval. Such regulatory approvals are currently underway in multiple jurisdictions, with Zijin Gold and Allied working cooperatively in a sensible and disciplined manner. While broader global geopolitical events and circumstances should not impact the progress of the regulatory process for the transaction, both companies monitor these events and circumstances and regularly discuss possible implications of those events and circumstances. There is no assurance that these events and circumstances will not have an impact on the transaction or timing for approvals nor that such approvals will be received. Both companies continue to demonstrate a strong commitment to complete the transaction. Further, the companies are working on an orderly transition, including site detailed visits, management integration planning, and evaluating further asset optimizations and opportunities aimed at unlocking future value for the asset platform.

The Arrangement Agreement is available under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

***April 2025 Financing and Concurrent Block Trade***

On April 22, 2025, Allied announced the completion of a public offering (the "**April 2025 Financing**") of 15,000,000 Common Shares at a price of C$5.35 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately C$80 million and the concurrent sale under a block trade of 15,000,000 Common Shares by a significant shareholder at a price of C$5.35 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds to the selling shareholder of approximately C$80 million (the "**Concurrent Block Trade**"). Subsequently, on May 1, 2025, the Company completed the closing of the over-allotment option in connection with the April 2025 Financing, pursuant to which an additional 2,250,000 Common Shares were issued by the Company at a price of C$5.35 per Common Share for additional aggregate gross proceeds of approximately C$12 million.

The April 2025 Financing was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated April 17, 2025 (the "**April 2025 Underwriting Agreement**") entered into between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc., and including CIBC World Markets Inc., Cormark Securities Inc. and Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc. In connection with the April 2025 Financing, the Company paid the underwriters a cash commission equal to 4.0% of the gross proceeds. The Concurrent Block Trade was completed by the selling shareholder with Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc. as principals.

The Company used the net proceeds from the April 2025 Financing to fund its optimization and growth initiatives, including advancing studies and engineering work to improve recoveries at Sadiola, supporting exploration and mine life extension studies in Côte d'Ivoire, and conducting additional exploration and development activities across its broader asset portfolio.

The April 2025 Financing was completed by way of (final) short form prospectus supplement (the "**April 2025 Prospectus Supplement**") dated April 17, 2025, to the Base Shelf Prospectus, and on a private placement basis by way of a confidential offering memorandum pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and applicable state securities laws.

***Strategic Partnership with Ambrosia***

On February 25, 2025, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Ambrosia Investment Holding ("**Ambrosia**"), a United Arab Emirates-based investment fund. The strategic partnership contemplated an asset level transaction for the Sadiola mine in Mali, a corporate equity investment in Allied by way of a private placement, and a power infrastructure component at Sadiola. On April 14, 2025, the Company announced that it did not proceed with the private placement with Ambrosia as certain conditions precedent to its completion were not secured. In its decision not to continue to engage, the Company considered the time and effort that would be required in the partnership, the significant increase in gold price and its share price in the interim period, the evolution and impacts on

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 12 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

trading liquidity and eligibility for index inclusion, as well as meaningful improvements in the Company's business plan and outlook. In totality, the Company expected that the interim changes occurring both internal and external would support a much higher share price than contemplated in the private placement. While the parties continued discussions on the joint venture and long-term power supply arrangement for the Sadiola mine, it received an unsolicited alternative proposal from another party for a similar arrangement that would require a smaller purchase interest in Sadiola. Ultimately Allied decided to terminate these engagements as the gold market conditions and the Company's positioning in the Republic of Mali started to gain positive momentum.

***Price Protection Programs***

On October 29, 2025, the Company purchased average rate gold call options with a strike price of $4,500 per ounce, for the period of November 2025 to December 2026, for a total of 217,500 ounces. The call options effectively mitigate the cash outflow on the hedge derivatives when gold exceeds $4,500. The total premium is $20.5 million, paid on a monthly deferred basis.

On May 7, 2025, Allied completed a gold price protection program that ensures a minimum price of $3,048 per ounce and full upside to $4,000 per ounce on gold production of 15,500 ounces per month from June 2025 through to March 2026, equaling a total of 155,000 ounces.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, a program that allows Allied to share in further revenues above $4,594 was implemented as a supplement to and part of the cash flow protection program. The program relies on $4,500 average rate gold call options with a cost of approximately $94 per option and covers the entirety of its remaining existing zero-cost collars from November 2025 to December 2026.

Between December 19, 2024 and December 20, 2024, the Company entered into zero-cost gold collars with the Prepay Lenders, of 10,000 ounces per month, from April 2025 to December 2026, with a put price of $2,200 per ounce and a call price $3,025 per ounce (in respect of 7,000 ounces per month), $3,075 per ounce (in respect of 1,000 ounces per month) and $3,500 per ounce (in respect of 2,000 ounces per month), safeguarding against downside in gold price, and locking in significant cash flow improvements based on the minimum $2,200 per ounce floor price.

On April 12, 2024, the Company entered into zero-cost gold collars, of 10,000 ounces per month, from May 2024 to March 2025, for a total of 110,000 ounces, with a put of $2,200 per ounce and a call of $2,829 per ounce, safeguarding against downside in gold price, and locking in significant cash flow improvements based on the minimum $2,200 per ounce floor price.

***Gold Prepaid Transaction***

On December 19, 2024, Allied announced that it had entered into certain gold prepaid forward arrangements (the "**Gold Prepays**") with National Bank of Canada, Macquarie Bank Limited and Citibank, N.A. (collectively, the "**Prepay Lenders**"), for the aggregate total advance amount of $75 million. Under these arrangements, the Prepay Lenders will purchase an aggregate of 2,802 ounces of gold from Allied per month over twelve months, starting in October 2026, providing a low-cost, non-dilutive form of capital financing.

On September 25, 2025, Allied entered into certain additional gold prepaid forward arrangements (together with the Initial Gold Prepays, the "**Gold Prepays**") with National Bank of Canada, Macquarie Bank Limited, Citibank, N.A. and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (collectively, the "**Additional Prepay Lenders**"), for the aggregate total advance amount of $50 million. Under these arrangements, the Additional Prepay Lenders will purchase an aggregate of 1,233.3 ounces of gold from Allied per month over twelve months, starting in October 2026, providing a low-cost, non-dilutive form of capital financing.

***Credit Facility***

On December 18, 2024, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "**Credit Agreement**") with National Bank of Canada, as administrative agent (the "**Administrative Agent**"), National Bank Financial Inc., as arranger, National Bank of Canada, as issuing bank, and National Bank of Canada, Macquarie Bank Limited, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Citibank, N.A., Canadian Branch, as lenders (collectively, the "**Lenders**"), which amended and restated the credit agreement that the Company previously entered into with, among others, the Administrative Agent on January 5, 2024. The Company has immediately available credit of $40.0 million (plus a $10.0 million accordion, which is available subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent) under its revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn (the "**Credit Facility**"). The Credit Facility is to be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company (including the financing of investments and acquisitions that are permitted pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). Advances under the Credit Facility are subject to certain customary conditions precedent and will bear interest at a rate of the Canadian prime rate, the US base rate or adjusted term SOFR plus, in each instance, an applicable margin. The obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility have been guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "**Credit Parties**"). The Company has granted a security interest in favour of the Administrative Agent in all of its present and after-acquired personal property to secure the obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility. Additionally, each of the Credit Parties has pledged any shares that it holds in other Credit Parties and certain other subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions) to the Administrative Agent as security for the obligations pursuant to the Credit Facility and the Gold Prepays.

***Wheaton Stream***

On December 5, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a streaming transaction (the "**Wheaton Stream**") with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("**Wheaton**") with respect to the Kurmuk Mine in Ethiopia. Under the terms of the Wheaton Stream, Allied, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Allied Gold Services Inc., will receive a total upfront cash consideration of $175 million in four equal installment payments (each a "**Construction Payment**"), subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions and an ongoing payment for gold ounces delivered equal to 15% of the gold spot price. Wheaton will purchase 7% of the payable gold until a total of 220,000 ounces of gold has been delivered, at which point Wheaton will purchase 4.8% of the payable gold for the life of mine at Kurmuk. During any period in which debt exceeding $150 million ranks ahead of the Wheaton Stream, the stream percentage increases to 7.15% and decreases to 5.25% once the drop-down threshold is reached. Payable gold is calculated using a fixed payable factor of 99.95%.

On December 19, 2024, June 30, 2025, September 16, 2025, and December 15, 2025, the Company received all four Construction Payments under the Wheaton Stream each in the amount of $43.75 million, for an aggregate amount of $175 million.

***2024 Prospectus Financing***

On October 8, 2024, Allied announced the completion of an overnight marketed public offering of Common Shares, and the closing of the over-allotment option on October 18, 2024 (the "**2024 Prospectus Financing**"). Pursuant to the 2024 Prospectus Financing, the Company issued 62,000,000 Common Shares (plus 9,300,000 Common Shares under the over-allotment) at a price of C$3.10 per Common Share for aggregate gross proceeds of C$192.2 million (plus C$28.83 million under the over-allotment).

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 14 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

The 2024 Prospectus Financing was completed pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated October 3, 2024 entered into between the Company and a syndicate of underwriters co-led by Canaccord Genuity Corp. and National Bank Financial Inc., and including CIBC Capital Markets, Stifel Nicolaus Canada Inc., BMO Capital Markets, SCP Resource Finance LP and Hannam & Partners. In connection with the 2024 Prospectus Financing, the Company paid the underwriters a cash commission equal to 4.5% of the gross proceeds, other than on sales of an aggregate of 8,377,000 Common Shares to purchasers on a president's list, for which the underwriters received a cash commission of 2.0%.

The Company used the net proceeds of the 2024 Prospectus Financing to support the funding of its optimization and growth initiatives, including in relation to all rights and obligations dealing with and allowing for continuous management, optimizations, advancements, improvements and phased expansion of the Sadiola Mine, and in respect of costs associated with the Kurmuk construction project. The 2024 Prospectus Financing was part of the Company's broader financing plan, which included a gold stream and gold prepay facility on the Kurmuk project, intended to enhance financial flexibility to unlock significant value (see "*Gold Prepaid Transaction*" and "*Wheaton Stream*").

The 2024 Prospectus Financing was completed by way of (final) short form prospectus supplement dated October 3, 2024, to the Base Shelf Prospectus, and on a private placement basis by way of a confidential offering memorandum pursuant to certain exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended and applicable state securities laws.

***Protocol Agreement with Malian Government***

On September 3, 2024, the Company announced that it had settled the terms of a definitive protocol agreement (the "**Protocol Agreement**") with the Government of Mali, which was subsequently signed. The Protocol Agreement provides for the renewal of the exploitation permit for the Sadiola Mine, the advancement of the development and processing of the nearby Korali Sud (Diba) deposit ("**Korali Sud**"), and the continued development of the phased expansion of the Sadiola Mine.

The Sadiola exploitation permit, which is valid for a full ten years, was issued under the newly decreed 2023 Mining Code, with renewals of equal duration available until all mineral reserves have been mined out. With the completion of a feasibility study and tolling agreement relating to Korali Sud, which the Company filed with mining authorities, all necessary approvals for the development of Korali Sud and the processing of ore from this satellite deposit at the Sadiola Mine facilities, pursuant to the terms of the tolling agreement, were granted to the Company, which resulted in short term modest contributions to production in the third quarter and fourth quarters of 2024, while the first and second quarters of 2025 were at full capacity. See "*General Development of the Business – Three Year History - Update on Korali Sud and Sadiola*". The Protocol Agreement also contemplates certain derogations from royalties otherwise applicable under the 2023 Mining Code. Finally, upon a cash payment made by the Company under the terms of the Protocol Agreement, all outstanding disputes, allegations, audits, and assessments, including those related to tax, customs levies, maintenance and management of offshore accounts, and the development and management of the mine and satellite areas, were settled.

The Company, like other mining companies in the Republic of Mali, were faced with unprecedented challenges in 2024 related to accommodation of provisions of a new mining code and a moratorium on permits which had been in place for some time with no clarity on when the moratorium would end. The mining code contemplated significant changes to financial and fiscal provisions and terms; the decree of the new mining law and therefore the law's effectiveness came into effect immediately prior to expiry of the exploitation permit for the Company's Sadiola mine thereby requiring a permit renewal under the new mining code.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 15 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

All this under the backdrop of extended previous management engagements that had been unsuccessful at obtaining a permit renewal and several other, larger mining companies having no better success, and a State that was beginning to use other tactics to compel compliance with the new mining code. Although the Company was not aware at the time, it did materialize subsequently that the posture of the government was such that executives of companies were at personal risk of incarceration were the companies not willing to comply. However, the government tactics did include allegations of corporate, fiscal and taxation inadequacies and wrongdoing. In a literal sense, considering that the exploitation permit had not yet been renewed, the board of directors of the Company (the "**Board**") concluded this presented an unprecedented challenge to the Company. These circumstances caused the Board to seek a course of conduct that would ameliorate the situation and mandated management to find and pursue that course.

In that context, over several months, management engaged in significant, intense and prolonged negotiations with the State in order to avert what would have been a crisis beginning with a failed permit renewal process. A number of strategies were deployed during the negotiations in order to settle on terms that benefited both the Company and the State. The Board and management undertook a policy and program of engagement that was reconciliatory although firmly held the position that the economics of the operation was imperative. Management engaged in a manner that was not confrontational and rather than enforcement of rights, chose to determine a path for accommodating the new mining code while preserving sufficient economics for the operation. The Company determined that the best course was to agree to the best terms possible at the time while rebuilding confidence and trust with the representatives of the State and leaving open the possibility of further modification to terms when more investments were required. A definitive protocol agreement with the State was announced on September 3, 2024. The Company was the first to settle terms with the State and conclude an agreement which then became the template for others. The Sadiola permit was renewed, trust began to be reestablished, and a relationship began to form. The effectiveness of the process has led to the Company and the State jointly pursuing other opportunities within Mali.

***Kurmuk Power Purchase Agreement***

On August 19, 2024, the Company announced that its subsidiary Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC ("**KGM**"), which owns the Kurmuk Project, had entered into a definitive Power Purchase Agreement ("**PPA**") with Ethiopian Electric Power to secure a reliable, competitive, and sustainable energy supply for Kurmuk throughout the life of the mine. The PPA will be in effect for a period of twenty years and may be extended by mutual agreement. The agreement secures a flat energy charge of $0.04 per kWh, applicable from the supply commencement date and remaining fixed for the entire term, providing cost certainty for the project.

***Triple Flag Stream***

On August 7, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a streaming transaction (the "**Triple Flag Stream**") with Triple Flag International Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (collectively, "**Triple Flag**"). Under the terms of the stream agreement, Allied will receive a $53 million upfront cash payment (the "**Advance Amount**") and an ongoing payment equal to 10% of the spot gold price (the "**Ongoing CDI Payments**"). Triple Flag will have the right to purchase 3% of the payable gold produced at each of Agbaou and Bonikro, subject to a step-down to 2% after set delivery thresholds.

On August 14, 2024, the Company announced the closing of the Triple Flag Stream transaction, pursuant to which Allied received the Advance Amount and will receive the Ongoing CDI Payments.

***Update on Korali Sud and Sadiola***

The Company has previously highlighted the opportunity that Korali Sud, as well as other oxide targets, present in terms of contribution to short-term cash flows and incremental production during the advancement of Phase 1 of the expansion at Sadiola and the development of Kurmuk. These oxide targets improved production and financial performance in 2024 and 2025. The Company has provided an update of its mineral inventories for Sadiola and Korali Sud as part of its 2025 year-end process. See "*Description of the Business – Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates*".

***Sadiola Expansion Plan***

Over the last several years, the Company has been advancing a strategy of optimization and expansion at Sadiola. Initial efforts related to the stabilization of the operation, primarily in relation to the existing processing capacity of mostly oxide ores, followed by a phased expansion to increase throughput and process increased proportions of higher-grade fresh ores, with the objective of increasing production and cash flows in the short and long term.

Improvements in production have been achieved recently and are expected to continue in the short term as a result of the contribution from high-grade oxide ore sources that support production levels of approximately 200,000 ounces per year. Along with the additional high-grade oxide targets, with the commissioning of the Phase 1 Expansion in late 2025, the mine is expected to support an average production level between 200,000 and 230,000 ounces per year through 2028 by processing an increased proportion of fresh ore with higher grades and slightly lower recoveries. This strategy not only optimizes the use of the existing facilities but also aligns with our commitment to extend the life of the mine, enhance its profitability, and drive growth with high returns on capital ahead of the next phase of expansion.

Construction of the Stage 1 Project at Sadiola broke ground in the fourth quarter of 2024 and advanced throughout 2025 on schedule and on budget. Ore feed to the mill started late in the fourth quarter, and the Stage 1 mill is expected to ramp up in the first quarter of 2026, alongside the completion of ancillary systems and power-supply upgrades. Further optimizations to the processing circuit, including instrumentation and automation upgrades, are planned for execution this year. Together, these initiatives are expected to improve operating conditions, enhance overall processing performance, and reduce reagent consumption incrementally.

The Company is advancing studies to define the best strategy for the next phase of the mine's expansion. The initial conclusion of these studies was that adding a pre-leach thickener to the circuit allows the plant to process over 90% of the fresh ore in the feed, increasing operational flexibility and potentially increasing production. Given that a pre-leach thickener is required regardless of the selected expansion scenario, the Company decided to begin engineering and design in late 2025 to prepare for construction in 2026.

Allied has concluded that the best execution strategy for Phase 2 expansion at Sadiola is to progressively optimize, develop, and expand the current processing plant and ancillary infrastructure, rather than build a new processing plant. 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 million tonnes ("MT") per year of ore processed defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 MT and 8 MT per year. This strategy also allows the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, for further capital efficiency and returns, although with the pending corporate transaction, Zijin Gold will have the option to pursue alternative development plans, including the construction of a larger plant. For 2026, the Company will advance the engineering and early works required for the 7MT per year step, together

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 17 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

with the studies to increase recoveries, new tailings storage facility construction, solar farm earthworks and mobilization.

The total capital expenditures for the 7 MT per year step of the processing plant are estimated at approximately $200 million, including engineering and construction of a permanent two-stage crushing plant and a grinding mill in the second line of the Sadiola plant, which are planned to be developed between late 2026 and late 2028. The subsequent 8 MT and 9 MT per year steps consist of adding a permanent tertiary crushing circuit and wet plant upgrades, respectively, and could be executed sequentially or concurrently, along with related expansions to power generation and ancillary facilities.

At the 7 Mtpa throughput, the plant configuration will include the existing Stage 1 three-stage crushing circuit operating in parallel with a new two-stage crushing circuit. Downstream, the comminution circuit will comprise two parallel milling circuits (Stage 1 and a new mill already owned by the Company), producing a final grind of P80 75 µm. The remainder of the flowsheet will include a pre-leach thickener, pre-oxidation, cyanidation, and carbon adsorption, utilizing the existing facilities and remaining consistent with the general processing path defined for Sadiola in the previous technical work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.This is a non-GAAP financial measure and ratio for which the closest IFRS measure is cost of sales, excluding DA. See "*General Matters – Non-GAAP Financial Performance Measures"*.

***Kurmuk Construction***

On September 7, 2023, the pre-construction activities of the Kurmuk Project commenced, leading to full construction activities beginning in mid-2024. The project continues to track well against plan, both in terms of physical completion and spend, while achieving key milestones and progress during 2025.

Procurement and logistics of critical items are substantially complete, and the key focus during the latter part of last year has been on transporting equipment and materials to the site and ramping up steel and mechanical erection at the crushing circuit and the processing plant. Mining activities at Ashashire and Dish Mountain are progressing according to plan, with the objective of building at least three months' worth of ore stockpiles to support the start of operations in mid-2026. Kurmuk will continue mechanical activities throughout the first quarter of 2026, progress the remaining earthworks at the tailings storage facility and haulage road, and advance piping and electrical installation, other infrastructure, and ancillary facilities.

The Ethiopian Electrical Power Company is advancing the power line construction, which is expected to be completed before commissioning. Pre-commissioning activities are planned to begin at the start of the second quarter, with the first gold expected in mid-2026.

Along with the advancement of the project, 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 and Tsenge. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average processing capacity of up to 6.4 MT per year. This increased flexibility is being incorporated into the project execution, with subsequent modifications 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 its assets.

Concurrent with the completion of the RTO Financing (as defined herein - see "*RTO Financing*"), the Company, Allied Jersey, Allied Seychelles, AMC, Seychelles Subco (as defined herein) and Ontario Subco (as defined herein) entered into a business combination agreement dated August 30, 2023 pursuant to which the parties agreed to complete a series of amalgamations and associated transactions to effect a business combination between the Company, Allied Jersey, Allied Seychelles and AMC, which resulted in a reverse take-over of the Company by the shareholders of Allied Jersey, Allied Seychelles and AMC.

In connection with completing the RTO Transaction, Allied Jersey agreed to make certain severance, accumulated bonus and other accrued entitlement payments to senior management of Allied Jersey pursuant to the terms of existing executive services agreements and separation and release agreements, a portion of which was reinvested into the Company.

***RTO Financing***

On April 6, 2023, AMC, a company formed by the prior management team of Yamana Gold Inc. ("**Yamana**"), namely Peter Marrone, Daniel Racine, Jason LeBlanc, Gerardo Fernandez and Sofia Tsakos, was incorporated under the OBCA. Pursuant to the series of aforementioned amalgamations that resulted in the formation of the Company, AMC, a mining enterprise owned and operated by the former principals of Yamana in the mid-market extractive industry mergers and acquisitions and merchant banking market, was primarily responsible for the public financing and going public events that led to the RTO Transaction and was valued by the other arm's length participating companies in the RTO Transaction at approximately $78.1 million ($4.45 per share) or C$103.9 million (C$5.92 per share). As part of the RTO Transaction, on August 30, 2023, AMC completed a brokered private placement (the "**RTO Financing**") of (i) 81,219,000 common share subscription receipts (the "**CS Subscription Receipts**") at a price of $1.97 per CS Subscription Receipt for total gross proceeds of $160,001,430, and (ii) 107,279 unsecured convertible debenture subscription receipts (the "**CD Subscription Receipts**" and together with the CS Subscription Receipts, the "**Subscription Receipts**") at a price of $1,000 per CD Subscription Receipt for total gross proceeds of $107.279 million, for combined aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $267 million. The net proceeds from the RTO Financing are being used by the Company to carry out its planned growth strategy, including its ongoing optimization and development work, as well as for general corporate purposes.

Each CS Subscription Receipt entitled the holder thereof to receive, upon automatic exchange without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, one AMC common share (an "**AMC Share**") upon the satisfaction or waiver of the relevant escrow release conditions. Each post-consolidation AMC Share was then immediately exchanged for one Common Share upon the completion of the RTO Transaction. Each CD Subscription Receipt entitled the holder thereof to receive, upon automatic exchange without payment of additional consideration or further act or formality on the part of the holder thereof, one 8.75% unsecured convertible debenture of AMC (an "**AMC Convertible Debenture**") upon the satisfaction or waiver of the relevant escrow release conditions. Each AMC Convertible Debenture was immediately exchanged for one 8.75% unsecured convertible debenture of the Company maturing September 7, 2028 (the "**Convertible Debentures**") upon the completion of the RTO Transaction.

The Convertible Debentures are governed by the terms of a convertible debenture indenture dated August 30, 2023 among the Company (then named Mondavi Ventures Ltd.), AMC and Computershare Trust Company of Canada in its capacity as debenture trustee (the "**Convertible Debenture Indenture**"), which is available under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $25 million paid 50% in cash and 50% by the issuance of 5,917,063 Common Shares for the payment due September 7, 2024, being the first anniversary of the completion of the Kurmuk Interest Acquisition;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $21.25 million paid by the issuance of 1,474,882 Common Shares for the payment due September 7, 2025, being the second anniversary of the completion of the Kurmuk Interest Acquisition; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $21.25 million payable in cash on the earlier of the commencement of commercial production and September 7, 2027, being the fourth anniversary of the date of completion of the Kurmuk Interest Acquisition.

By consolidating 100% ownership of the Kurmuk Project, subject to the continuing state interest, the Company is now able to move the project forward through construction and development without possible delays due to notice, approval and funding mechanics in the Kurmuk shareholders agreement, while increasing the value of the Company given the accretive nature of the Kurmuk Interest Acquisition.

***Acquisition of Korali Sud Property Near Sadiola***

On November 9, 2023, the Company closed the acquisition of the permitted Korali Sud Small Scale Mining License (the "**Korali Sud Property**") as well as rights to the Lakanfla Exploration License pursuant to a share purchase agreement with Elemental Atlus Royalties Corp. The Korali Sud Property is located 15 kilometres south of the processing plant at the Company's flagship Sadiola Mine and adjacent to the Sadiola exploitation license. The purchase price for the Korali Sud Property consisted of cash payments and an NSR royalty. Cash payments total up to $6.0 million, with an initial amount of $1.0 million paid on closing, followed by deferred amounts of up to $5.0 million payable upon the attainment of defined production milestones of up to 200,000 ounces produced from Korali Sud. The remainder of the purchase price consists of an NSR royalty at a rate of 3% for the first 226,000 ounces of gold produced from Korali Sud, and at a rate of 2% for ounces from Korali Sud and Lakanfla thereafter.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS**

Allied is a Canadian-based emerging senior gold producer. The Company has a significant portfolio comprised of operating mines, development projects, and exploration properties in Africa, mainly in Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire. Allied plans to continue to build on this base through expansion and optimization initiatives at existing operating mines, development of new mines, the advancement of its exploration properties and, as appropriate, by targeting consolidation opportunities with a focus in Africa initially and potentially elsewhere in the world in the future.

**Principal Product**

The Company's principal product is gold, with gold production forming substantially all of the Company's revenues. The Company's consolidated revenue from the sale of gold was approximately $1,331.8 million in 2025 and $730.4 million in 2024.

The Company produces gold doré across its Sadiola, Bonikro and Agbaou mines, all of which are open pit operations. The Kurmuk Project, when brought into production, will contribute significantly to the Company's gold production. There is a global gold market into which Allied can sell its gold and, as a result, the Company is not dependent on any particular counterparty for either the refining or sale of its gold.

The Sadiola Mine produces gold doré comprising approximately 80% gold. The doré produced from current operations indicates that any impurities in the bars will be non-deleterious and will not adversely affect production.

The Bonikro Mine produces gold doré comprising approximately 82% to 88% gold. The doré produced from current operations indicates that any impurities in the bars will be non-deleterious and will not adversely affect production. Bonikro has a gold streaming agreement (the "**Bonikro Stream**") entered into on October 7, 2019 to sell to OMF Fund III (Mg) Ltd (currently held by Royal Gold, Inc.) 6% of the gold produced from the Bonikro Mine (including any future production from the Dougbafla permit area) until such time as the total gold produced from the Bonikro Mine equals 650,000 ounces, after which the gold interest will reduce to 3.5% until such time as the total gold produced from the Bonikro Mine equals 1,300,000 ounces after which the gold interest will reduce to 2%. The gold will be purchased at the lower of the prevailing market price and $400 per ounce.

The Agbaou Mine produces gold doré comprising approximately 90% to 95% gold. The doré produced from current operations indicates that any impurities in the bars will be non-deleterious and will not adversely affect production. Agbaou has a sliding-scale 1.0%-2.5% net smelter return royalty (based on the average spot price of gold), subject to a maximum of $50 million payable in aggregate (which royalty is currently held by Triple Flag).

Gold has diverse uses, with the most prominent uses being jewelry and as an investment asset (particularly in global central bank reserves). Gold also has industrial uses, principally in fabrication of corrosion-free electrical connectors in computers and other electrical devices, and other uses such as infrared shielding, production of coloured glass, gold leafing, and tooth restoration.

While gold can be readily sold on numerous markets throughout the world and it is not difficult to ascertain its market price at any particular time, the London Bullion Market Association publishes prices that are widely accepted as being benchmark, and as a result, are widely used. Demand for and the price of gold is cyclical and volatile, and is affected by numerous factors, including levels of supply and demand, global or regional consumptive patterns, level of investment activity, purchases or sales by government central banks, increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods, speculative activities related to the sale of metals, availability and costs of investment substitutes, international economic and political conditions, interest rates, currency values and inflation. See "*Risk Factors – Gold Price*".

**Specialized Skills and Knowledge**

Various aspects of the Company's business require specialized skills and knowledge, certain of which are in high demand and in limited supply. Such skills and knowledge include the areas of permitting, engineering, geology, metallurgy, logistical planning, implementation of exploration programs,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 21 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

mine construction and development, mine planning and operations, as well as legal compliance, finance, accounting, risk management, safety and security, community relations and human resources. Allied has highly qualified management personnel and staff, an active recruitment program, and believes that persons having the necessary skills are generally available. The Company has been able to locate and retain competent employees and consultants in such fields and has maintained a high retention rate of highly skilled employees through, among other things, competitive remuneration and compensation packages. Further, the Company and its contractors have training programs in place for workers that are recruited locally. See "*Risk Factors – Dependence Upon Key Management Personnel and Executives*".

**Competitive Conditions**

The gold and other precious metal exploration, development and mining business is a competitive business. The Company competes with numerous other companies and individuals in the search for and the acquisition of attractive precious metal mineral properties. The ability of the Company to acquire precious metal mineral properties in the future will depend not only on its ability to develop its present properties, but also on its ability to select and acquire suitable producing properties or prospects for precious metal development or mineral exploration.

In addition, Allied also competes with other companies when sourcing goods and services used in connection with mining operations, as well as for the recruitment and retention of skilled experienced workers. Allied's competitive position is also determined by its costs and asset quality compared to other gold producers, and by its ability to maintain its financial capacity through gold price cycles and currency fluctuations. Costs are driven principally by location, grade and nature of mineral deposits; costs of equipment, labour, fuel, power and other inputs; costs of transport and other infrastructure; political, socioeconomic and environmental factors outside of the Company's control; and by operating and management skill. See "*Risk Factors – Competition*".

**Components**

The Company sources machinery, parts, equipment, reagents and other supplies and services from large national in-country suppliers in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates and international suppliers outside of such jurisdictions. It also sources services and supplies, subject to competitive pricing and technical capability, from local businesses wherever possible according to its local procurement programs. All of the raw materials required to conduct our operations are readily available through normal supply or business contracting channels. While the Company has not experienced and does not anticipate experiencing any material challenges or shortages in the foreseeable future, fluctuations in the price and availability of key inputs and services may impact the Company's operations. See "*Risk Factors – Commodity Prices and Availability*" and "*Risk Factors – Increase in Production Costs*".

**Approach to Sustainability** 

Interest in sustainability aspects of the Company's business has grown significantly over the past few years, primarily from the financial sector. Sustainability topics span all departments in the Company and are generally managed by the Sustainability Team (as defined herein), the operational health, safety, environmental and social performance team and site personnel. The remaining sustainability topics are the shared responsibility of other departments.

Allied recognizes the importance of proactive and integrated management of sustainability related aspects of its business, including health, safety, environmental, and social performance. The Company believes that this is an enabler and a condition precedent of a good mining business, and is a signal of

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 22 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

the quality of management. High quality management in the mining business enables the corporate and operational culture that is necessary for the Company to achieve its growth objectives.

The Company works to identify the aspects of its business that touch on these considerations, the impacts that may exist from its activities, actions necessary to enhance positive impacts, eliminate, reduce or manage negative impacts and the systems and processes developed and implemented to ensure aspects and impacts are well-managed.

The Company's approach operates at both the corporate and operations levels. The role of the corporate team is two-fold; to provide governance and oversight of the sustainability related aspects of the business and to co-develop, with operations, the sustainability management framework and systems that are implemented and actioned on the ground. Allied's corporate sustainability team (the "**Sustainability Team**") will also assist operations in the implementation of systems. In establishing management frameworks and systems, the Sustainability Team must have detailed knowledge of the many evolving international best practice ("**EIBP**") standards from third parties that address sustainability topics to determine which should be incorporated into existing systems. In this way, the Company ensures that its operations are up-to-date on management approaches that contribute to improved sustainability performance. Management frameworks and systems must continually evolve to address changes in the business and as new commitments are adopted.

The role of the operational team is to identify and manage workplace health, safety, environmental and social risks and impacts while working to maintain a 'social license to operate' by building constructive relationships and enhancing positive benefits to host communities. These two areas of focus often go hand-in-hand and overlap.

The Company understands the importance of listening to people in host communities who are affected by its activities, from exploration to development to operations through to closure, to understand their concerns. Host community perceptions are critical to maintaining and growing our business.

***Governance***

The Company believes that establishing the tone from the highest governance levels of Allied is a fundamental part of achieving excellence.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **The Board of Directors** | **Corporate Level** | **Operational Level** |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;The Board oversees strategy, governance and risk, including risks and opportunities associated with sustainability factors. The Chairman and CEO drives and facilitates sustainability policy development, and the implementation of directives, in consultation with the Board and with the support of the Chief Sustainability Officer. The Sustainability Committee of the Company's Board oversees all aspects of sustainability matters. The Sustainability Committee reviews policies, compliance issues and incidents, and ensures the Company is diligent in carrying out its responsibilities and activities. | &nbsp;&nbsp;The Sustainability Team is led by the Chairman and CEO with the support of the Chief Sustainability Officer. The team implements strategy, develops and implements management systems, in collaboration with operations, and facilitates dialogue with external stakeholders at the corporate level. It also works with the sites to make sure systems are implemented, best practices are shared and Company performance is enhanced. The Sustainability Team supervises the compliance with international standards and aspects related to sustainability reporting. | &nbsp;&nbsp;Each operation has a sustainability team that addresses health, safety, environmental and social performance in conjunction with each site's General Manager. This will continue to evolve in 2026 across all sites for the Sustainability Team to meet at least quarterly to discuss sustainability issues, approaches, incidents, corrective actions and other operational practices. The quarterly reviews monitor the implementation of management systems, the effectiveness and performance of their sustainability programs and report any material issues to the General Manager who escalates matters as required. |

---

***Management***

Allied has a Code of Conduct and set of related policies that establish corporate expectations across the business.

In 2024, the Sustainability Team updated the Company's sustainability management framework (the "**Sustainability Management Framework**") that outlines the principles and expectations which are to be implemented to enhance the integration of sustainability within the Company's strategy, operational processes, and culture. The sustainability framework discloses the sustainability purpose of the Company "Working together to responsibly build a positive legacy with local communities and all stakeholders". The Sustainability Management Framework is centered around six key pillars: Culture, Vision and governance, Systems and planning, People and leadership, Performance (data and reporting), and Innovation.

In order to support the sustainability purpose of the Company, the Board approved on May 9, 2024 the new policies for Health and Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility. As part of the Sustainability Management system, a set of standards for Occupational Health and Safety, Environment and Social performance have been approved and communicated across the Company.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 24 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

The following key principles are integrated into the Sustainability Management Framework:

<u>1.</u><u>Risk and opportunity management</u>

The basis of Allied's management approach is effective risk and opportunity management. Under the Sustainability Management Framework, each operation effectively maps its sustainability aspects and associated risks and impacts (including risks related to compliance with relevant obligations). The aspects and risks/impacts register drives the development of the site-specific objectives and plans for operational performance.

Management has adopted enhanced, specific measures to help confirm optimal management of significant, inherent business risks, including those associated with tailings storage facilities ("**TSF**"), waste rock storage facilities or cyanide usage, among others. These measures include on-going monitoring of each structure and tools to help monitor specific risks. See "*Risk Factors – Health, Safety and Environmental Risks and Hazards*". The Risk management standard was communicated across the Company in 2024.

<u>2.</u><u>Integration</u>

It is the responsibility of each operation, development, and exploration project to implement Allied's Sustainability Management Framework, starting with risk assessment through to implementation and monitoring. Allied has an executive and senior manager compensation framework that aligns sustainability performance with compensation to facilitate greater integration of sustainability considerations within the businesses and that the outcome are owned by the entire site rather than being seen as the responsibility of a particular operational department.

Operating sites measure their progress against the recently approved corporate sustainability standards on an annual basis. The outcome of this is combined with annual risk assessments and the results from a range of other key performance indicators to determine each site's annual action plans. Progress against these action plans is incentivized at both the site and corporate levels.

<u>3.</u><u>Commitment to Evolving International Best Practice Standards</u>

An important part of establishing management frameworks and systems and achieving continuous sustainability performance is evaluating the range of EIBP standards. The number of such standards has increased at a nearly exponential rate over the past 20 years and the breadth of topics covered by the standards has also increased. It is incumbent on the corporate Sustainability Team to have visibility of all standards, understand them and assess which directly apply to, or deliver value to, Allied. In addition, the Company must understand which standards are expected to be adopted by its stakeholders, especially by investors.

Through the Sustainability Framework, Allied's operations align with ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, UNGPs on Business and Human Rights and the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, the International Cyanide Management Code, and the IFC Performance Standards. Allied's Sustainability Standards incorporate these and other relevant standards and ensure that a single performance standard is applied across the business with regular internal review. The annual plans for Health, Safety, Environmental and Social Performance for each operational site are based on these best practices.

<u>4.</u><u>External reporting and assessment</u>

Allied's commitment to openness and transparency is demonstrated through its annual Sustainability Report which describes the Company's sustainability performance and incorporate

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 25 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

reporting against the SASB Standards for Sustainability Reporting and Allied environmental stewardship financial disclosure recommendations. The 2024 sustainability report is available on the Company's website.

***Performance***

Allied will regularly monitor a range of aspects, impacts and topics of interest to it and its stakeholders, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• governance

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• workplace health and safety

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• community relations and generating local benefit

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• business ethics and human rights

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• environmental stewardship

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• tailings and waste management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• water management

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• biodiversity

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• mine closure

***Workplace Health and Safety***

Allied is committed to protecting the health and safety of its employees and contractors. During 2025, the Company's Total recordable injury rate was 1.21 (per million person hours) on a consolidated basis and the Company's Lost Time injury rate was 0.293 (per million person hours) on a consolidated basis, which represents respectively a decrease of 26% in the Total recordable injury rate and 54% in the Lost Time injury rate.

Allied's safety performance reflects the efforts it has made toward reaching its vision of zero injuries. The Company recognizes that there is still significant work to be done and, to that end, has continuous learning and improvement initiatives in place across the organization to help identify ways to make further step changes in safety performance. Over the course of 2024 and 2025, the Company developed and maintained with all internal stakeholders a safety culture with core elements and desired behaviors as well as initiatives to enhance the safety of our employees and contractors. This new safety culture was launched across all site in January 2025 and the key achievements in 2025 were:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continue implementation and monitoring of the Safety Culture Journey;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensure the continued health and safety of employees;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase measurement and reporting of preventative or 'leading' indicators;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain the focus on high potential incidents and sharing learnings across sites and to upper management and senior executives;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• maintain focus on the quality of incident investigations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensure fatal risk protocols are best-in-class and verified in the field;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• ensure targeted training of our workforce in the updated corporate standards, risk management, incident investigations etc.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase capacity on emergency preparedness; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increase focus on health, Industrial hygiene and wellness.

For 2026, the Company continues the implementation of the new Safety culture with the same priorities.

***Community Relations and Generating Local Benefits***

As an international mining company, Allied builds and maintains relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders. No relationships, however, are more important than those with Allied's host communities. In many cases, host communities are the Company's neighbours, provide workers for its operations and goods and services required for its business.

Each operation and project has a community relations/social performance team that regularly engages with the local communities through formal and informal engagement mechanisms. Engagement includes, among others, public meetings, door-to-door meetings and focus group discussions with communities where the Company works collaboratively to resolve issues of mutual interest. Each operation and project also has an established community grievance mechanism, which helps to address community's concerns in a proactive manner, before they affect the relationship with the community.

Allied recognizes the importance of value creation for our host countries and communities in terms of leaving a positive legacy for future generations, which ultimately contributes to the maintenance of our social license to operate.

***Business Ethics and Human Rights***

Corporate polices and the Sustainability Management Framework establish Company expectations in terms of business ethics and human rights. Work is underway to integrate these expectations across the business. Allied's security providers play a critical role in protecting its people and assets; however, the nature of their role means they are critical to the Company's commitment to ensuring respect for human rights. Allied has a specific Security Code of Conduct that aligns with the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights. The Company requires the same adherence from its service providers to ensure that all Allied security employees and representatives from all security contractors have received human rights-specific training that meets the requirements of the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights.

***Environmental Stewardship***

Allied has committed to expanding the Company's annual energy efficiency related disclosures in alignment with Allied's environmental stewardship financial disclosure. In 2023, the Company commissioned an external assessment of its alignment with Allied's environmental stewardship financial disclosure recommendations: governance, strategy, risk management, and metrics and targets. This assessment informed our approach to developing an energy efficiency strategy, to demonstrate environmental stewardship and our commitment to the transition to a low-carbon future.

Allied is undertaking a risk-based approach, cognizant of the fact that its operational mines have been operating for up to 25 years, have relatively short remaining life spans and are less exposed to the longer-term changes in weather patterns but remain exposed to the more frequent and intense extreme weather events that have been observed around the world. Allied's expansion and development projects that have longer life spans (10-15 years) are exposed to both types of acute (specific weather events) and chronic (long-term changes in weather patterns) physical risks. The significance of the physical risks identified varies across our operating locations, and is based on the climatic zone, the sources of water and key supply chain routes.

With the support of third-party specialists, Allied has initiated in Q4 2025 a corporate and site environmental risk and opportunity assessment. This assessment evaluates the physical risks emanating from weather events and the transitional risks associated with changes that may occur through the transition to a lower-carbon economy, and potential management measures.

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

***Tailings and Waste Management***

The management of mine waste, specifically tailings management, consistently remains one of the most material issues for Allied and the mining industry. In light of recent tailings-related tragedies, investors and society at large are seeking confirmation that mining companies have the people, systems and performance to assure responsible management of tailings facilities.

Tailings management are in line with the Australian National Committee on Large Dams ("**ANCOLD**") guidelines and country-specific regulatory requirements and are aligned with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management ("**GISTM**"). Allied seeks to minimize risks to the environment and the Company's host communities and ensure long-term stability of Allied's TSFs.

Responsible tailings management is a cornerstone of the Company's sustainability program, and Allied will remain committed to proper and effective management of TSFs. Allied will further develop best-in-class tailings governance and a strong tailings management standard, which seeks to minimize risks to the environment and the Company's host communities and ensure long-term stability of Allied's TSFs. The Company's strategy will include incorporating EIBP into its systems and processes, and having quality designs, clear accountability and responsibility, sound dam safety practices, comprehensive risk management, and effective emergency response and preparedness systems. Amongst these steps the Company is working closely with local communities to ensure the people in those communities are informed, safe and secure.

***Water Management***

The Company recognizes that water is a shared resource and is committed to responsibly managing it in collaboration with host communities and stakeholders. Water is an important input to mining and mineral concentration processes.

The goal is to set a standard that addresses all aspects of water management, including water supply and security, water for operations, hydrology and hydrogeology, mine dewatering, water collection, storage, uses and discharge, closure, post-closure, water quality and potential environmental impacts, including sustainable and socially responsible water use for sites and projects. The development of site specific key performance indicators to measure effective implementation of the water management program and performance against water-related goals is in progress.

***Mine Closure***

Mine closure is closely managed by each operation with corporate oversight. To shift the paradigm further on closure planning and execution, Allied is in a process that requires an increased focus on integration and will involve the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• cradle to grave mentality;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk and opportunity approach;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• integration into life of asset planning;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• project management rigour; and

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 28 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• social transition to sustainable livelihoods.

Through this focus, we can make 'closure' redundant as it will be fully integrated in the life of asset planning process and be managed with the same operational rigour as any other discipline at our operations.

Each operation has a proper mine closure plan and cost estimate, and a corresponding Asset Retirement Obligation (corporate closure provision) that is updated annually. Allied's total liabilities for reclamation and closure cost obligations as at December 31, 2025 were approximately $187.6 million on a 100% consolidated basis. See the annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 of the Company filed under the Company's at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

**Employees**

As of December 31, 2025, Allied's workforce comprised 2,095 employees and 5,739 contractors.

**Foreign Operations**

The Company's mineral projects are located in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia. See "*General Development of the Business – Overview of Business*" for an overview of the Company's properties. All of the Company's gold production and revenue are derived from its operations in Africa, including its 80% owned Sadiola Mine in Mali, and its 89.89% owned Bonikro Mine and 85% owned Agbaou Mine in Côte d'Ivoire. In addition, the Company conducts development activities at its 100% owned Kurmuk Project in Ethiopia and its 100% owned Korali Sud Property*.* Any changes in regulations or shifts in political attitudes in any of these jurisdictions, or other jurisdictions in which Allied has projects from time to time, are generally beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its business. Future development and operations may be affected in varying degrees by such factors as government regulations (or changes thereto) with respect to restrictions on production, import restrictions (such as restrictions applicable to, among other things, equipment, services and supplies), export controls, taxes, royalties, expropriation or nationalization of property, loss of title to mining rights, repatriation of profits, environmental legislation, land use, water use, mine safety and receipt of necessary permits. The effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted. See "*Risk Factors – Operations in Africa*".

**Other Disclosure Relating to Ontario Securities Commission Requirements for Companies Operating in Emerging Markets**

Due to the risks inherent in mineral production and the desire to organize and structure its affairs in a tax efficient manner, the Company holds each of its material properties in a separate corporate entity (through local subsidiary companies in foreign jurisdictions and other holding companies in various jurisdictions).

The risks of the corporate structure of the Company and its subsidiaries are risks that are typical and inherent for companies who have material assets and property interests held indirectly through foreign subsidiaries and located in foreign jurisdictions. The Company's business and operations in emerging markets are exposed to various levels of political, economic and other risks and uncertainties associated with operating in a foreign jurisdiction such as differences in laws, business cultures and practices, banking systems and internal control over financial reporting. See "*Risk Factors – Operations in Africa*".

The Company has implemented a system of corporate governance, internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures that apply at all levels of the Company and its

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 29 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

subsidiaries and joint venture entities. These systems are overseen by the Board and implemented by the Company's senior management team. The relevant features of these systems are set out below.

***Control over Foreign Subsidiaries***

The Company holds its properties and projects in emerging markets indirectly through locally incorporated subsidiaries and/or joint venture entities established primarily for the purposes of compliance with local law. These operating subsidiaries and joint venture entities are in turn held through holding companies incorporated in jurisdictions with well-developed and reliable legal and taxation systems. All of the Company's subsidiaries are wholly-owned or controlled (unless otherwise noted in "*Corporate Structure*").

As the indirect controlling shareholder of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has the power to appoint and dismiss any and all of its foreign subsidiaries' directors at any time, and directors appointed by the governments in the Company's operating jurisdictions in accordance with the terms of the respective mining conventions or development agreements. The directors of each foreign subsidiary (appointed by the Company) then have the power to appoint and dismiss any and all such foreign subsidiaries' officers at any time, instruct such officers to pursue business activities, and to require such officers to comply with their fiduciary obligations. As the indirect controlling shareholder of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company's approval will be required for any fundamental changes requiring shareholder approval. The Company, as shareholder, can also enforce its rights by way of various shareholder remedies available to it under local laws. As a result, through these relationships, the Company can effectively ensure that the business objectives of the foreign subsidiaries are aligned with its own.

***Ownership and Property Interests***

For Sadiola, Bonikro and Agbaou, the mine sites have been in operation for many years and the Company has a complete understanding of its ownership of property interests or assets. For Kurmuk, current management have been active at progressing all ownership matters in order to advance the project. At all sites, mining, exploration and construction activities are governed by applicable conventions, development agreements and permits that are preauthorized by the applicable state. As it relates to permits, data is kept current by dedicated personnel for each mine in the form of permit registers and same are shared monthly in the monthly operation/construction reports. Furthermore, external counsel title opinions at all sites are kept current, most recently updated within the last two months.

The Company acquired an 80% shareholding in SEMOS S.A., the Malian company that holds the permits to Sadiola, on January 1, 2021 through the acquisition of its subsidiaries Allied Gold Mali Corp. and Allied Gold Mali Ltd. The Company acquired its interest in SEMOS from AngloGold Ashanti Limited and IAMGOLD Corporation. The Government of Mali holds the remaining 20% interest in SEMOS. SEMOS was constituted in December 1994, and the Sadiola permit was granted pursuant to Decree 94-440 PM/RM. Prior to the Company's involvement, SEMOS acquired the Sadiola permits from AGEM, a German entity that was the original holder of the Sadiola permits. The Company's legal tenure over Sadiola was verified by way of an independent review prepared for the Company by the law firm Satis Partners.

Kurmuk is owned directly by Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC, which is owned 96% by APM Ethiopia Ltd. and 4% by Golden Eye Resources (BVI), through which the Company ultimately holds a 100% interest (with the Government of Ethiopia entitled to a 7% equity position upon commercial production), since the Company's acquisition (through its wholly-owned subsidiary Allied Gold ET 2 Corp.) of the remaining 35.54% interest in Kurmuk held by APM Investment Holdings Ltd. pursuant to an agreement entered into on September 6, 2023 and completed on September 7, 2023, whereby Allied Gold ET 2 Corp. acquired

all of APM Investment Holdings Ltd.'s shares in APM Ethiopia Ltd. The previous Kurmuk shareholders agreement was terminated upon completion of the acquisition transaction.

Further ownership details with respect to Agbaou and Bonikro are described in the respective technical reports each dated July 5, 2023, filed under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

***Board and Management Expertise***

A majority of the Company's directors have been directors in the mining industry for a period in excess of five years. All of the Company's senior officers have at least five years of experience in senior leadership positions in the mining industry. As a result of their tenure, these officers and directors have gained extensive experience conducting business in the emerging jurisdictions. See "*Directors and Officers*" for further information on the senior officers' and directors' experience.

In addition, the Board, through its corporate governance practices, will regularly receive management and technical updates and progress reports in connection with the Company's foreign subsidiaries, and in so doing, maintain effective oversight of their business and operations. Further, many of the Company's directors and senior officers visit the Company's operations in foreign jurisdictions on a regular basis to ensure effective control and management of the Company's foreign operations. During these visits they come into contact with local employees, government officials and business persons; and such interactions enhance the visiting directors' and officers' knowledge of local culture and business practices. Generally, the Company's directors will visit at least one of the Company's operations in each calendar year, on a rotating basis. Certain senior and non-senior officers visit the Company's operations quarterly, or more frequently if circumstances require, on a rotating basis.

***Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Funds***

The Company maintains internal control over financial reporting with respect to its operations in emerging jurisdictions by taking various measures. Some of the Company's officers and key employees have the relevant language proficiency (primarily French in West Africa), local cultural understanding and relevant work experience in each of the Company's operating jurisdictions which facilitates better understanding and oversight of the Company's operations in the foreign jurisdictions in the context of internal controls over financial reporting.

The Company assesses the design of its internal controls over financial reporting on an annual basis. Furthermore, key controls for the accounts in scope are tested across the Company on an annual basis and the audit files of these tests performed at all the locations are reviewed at the head office level. Please refer to the Company's annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

Differences in banking systems and controls between Canada and the emerging jurisdictions are addressed by having stringent controls over cash in all locations; especially over access to cash, cash disbursements, appropriate authorization levels, performing and reviewing bank reconciliations in the applicable jurisdiction on at least a monthly basis and the segregation of duties.

The difference in cultures and practices between Canada and the emerging jurisdictions is addressed by employing competent staff in Canada and the emerging jurisdictions who are familiar with the local laws, business culture and standard practices, have local language proficiency, are experienced in working in the applicable emerging jurisdiction and in dealing with the respective government authorities; and have experience and knowledge of the local banking systems and treasury requirements.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 31 \| Page

The foreign subsidiaries also have established practices, protocols and routines in place for the distribution of its excess cash to its foreign owners. Furthermore, the opening and closing of bank accounts in the name of a foreign subsidiary will be controlled, overseen and approved by the Company's Chief Financial Officer.

The Company will ensure the flow of funds between Canada and each emerging jurisdiction functions as intended by:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• controlling the Company's Treasury management and control over bank accounts;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• appointing common officers of the Company and the foreign subsidiary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• involving the Company's Chief Financial Officer, located in Toronto, in hiring key finance personnel in each of the emerging jurisdictions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• closely monitoring the finance departments in each of the emerging jurisdictions, and by regular personal visits by the Chief Financial Officer and other key executives to the emerging jurisdictions.

***Communication***

The Company maintains open communication with each of its operations through many senior and non-senior officers. In addition, many management team members in local jurisdictions are fluent in the jurisdiction's primary language and are proficient in English. The primary language used in management and Board meetings is English and material documents relating to the Company that are provided to the Board are in English. Although the Company does not currently have a formal communication plan, it has implemented several communications policies, including a disclosure policy and crisis communications protocols. To date, the Company has not experienced any material communication-related issues.

***Records***

All of the minute books and corporate records and documents of the foreign subsidiaries are filed at the relevant entity's headquarters, and with the relevant governmental or regulatory body in each applicable jurisdiction in which the applicable entity's headquarters are located. The custodians of such documents report directly to the Company's head office and senior management team to ensure continued oversight.

**Information Systems and Cybersecurity**

The Company's information and operating technology systems and associated cybersecurity program are designed and developed by management and overseen by the Board. External service providers will be retained for ongoing technology systems management, maintenance and cybersecurity support (including continuous system monitoring and managed endpoint security). In addition, the Company plans to conduct regular data penetration testing and vulnerability assessment, to assess its data security and information technology infrastructure. These information security assurance and audit activities will be performed by qualified, independent professional service firms which validate the effectiveness of the technology systems and cyber security program and controls the Company has implemented. The Company has a multi-layered, defense-in-depth approach to technology systems and cybersecurity, with intentional redundancies to increase protection of valuable data and information. The Company's overall enterprise data security and information technology infrastructure is managed in accordance with applicable security frameworks and industry best practices. The Company has an established enterprise cybersecurity awareness training program to optimize compliance and effectiveness throughout the organization. In addition, the Company's directors attend externally facilitated cybersecurity education sessions with respect to the material and evolving issues in

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 32 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

cybersecurity and data security to facilitate their effective oversight of the Company's policies, risk management and performance in this respect.

The Company also actively seeks to mitigate information systems and cybersecurity risks by identifying, reviewing and developing risk mitigation and response strategies. In addition to having an incident response partner on retainer to act in the event of a cybersecurity incident occurring within the organization, the Company will develop a formal cybersecurity incident response plan as well as a disaster recovery plan for each of the Company's operations. The Company periodically reviews the operational status of the Company's approach to technology systems and cybersecurity with management and the Board. Findings from internal and external audits with respect to the Company's systems are shared with the Board and fully integrated into the Company's risk management framework. The Company has developed a Cybersecurity Strategic Plan to provide a roadmap to deploy process improvements and governance at all operations, aligned with best practices and global frameworks, to enhance the Company's cybersecurity program and protect its information technology networks. *See* "*Risk Factors – Failure of Information Systems or Cybersecurity Threats*".

**Risk Factors**

The operations of the Company are speculative due to the high-risk nature of its business, which is the acquisition, financing, exploration, development and operation of mining properties. These risk factors could materially affect the Company's future operating results and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company. The risks and uncertainties identified by the Company below are not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. These risks may not necessarily occur nor occur as described. In identifying a risk, the Company is not indicating that any particular risk will occur, only that such risk is possible. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also impair the Company's business operations. If any of the adverse consequences described in those risks actually occurs, the Company's business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position would suffer. See "*General Matters – Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information*".

***Completion of the Arrangement with Zijin Gold***

There are certain risks associated with the Arrangement which include, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Arrangement may not be completed and as a result the Company will have incurred significant expense with no result, the Company's share price may be adversely affected and there can be no assurance that other transactions of equal or greater value may become available;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• there can be no assurance that the conditions precedent to the closing of the Arrangement, including the receipt of the required court and regulatory approvals, will be satisfied or waived;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Arrangement Agreement may be terminated by the parties in certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a termination fee of C$220 million is payable by the Company in the event the Arrangement Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if the Company is unable to complete the Arrangement or if completion of the Arrangement is delayed, there could be an adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition, operating results and the price of its Common Shares;

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 33 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the uncertainty in the completion of the Arrangement may cause entities which do business with Allied to delay or defer decisions regarding Allied or adversely affect Allied's ability to attract or retain key personnel;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• while the Arrangement is pending, the Company is restricted from taking certain actions without the consent of Zijin Gold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the pending Arrangement may divert the attention of the Company's management; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Allied has incurred and expects to continue to incur substantial transaction fees and costs in connection with the Arrangement, and if the Arrangement is not completed, the costs may be significant and could have an adverse effect on Allied.

In addition to the foregoing, there are a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the Arrangement which may have a material and adverse impact on the future operating results and financial performance of the Company and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements related to the Company. For more information in respect of the Arrangement, see the Arrangement Agreement and the management information circular of the Company dated February 25, 2026, each of which is available under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u> and on EDGAR at <u>www.sec.gov</u>.

***Dependence on Products Produced from Key Mining Assets***

The Company is currently dependent on production from its operating mines, being Sadiola, Bonikro and Agbaou, in order to generate revenue and cash flow. The Company expects that these mines will continue to provide all of the Company's operating revenues and cash flows from mining operations in at least the short to medium term.

The achievement of the Company's operational targets and ability to produce the expected amounts of gold will be subject to the completion of planned operational goals on time and according to budget, and will be dependent on the effective support of the Company's personnel, systems, procedures and controls. Any failure of these or any adverse mining conditions at the mines may result in delays in the achievement of operational targets with a consequent material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.

***Gold Price***

The Company's profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of gold. Market price fluctuations of gold could adversely affect profitability of the Company's operations and lead to impairments and write-downs of mineral properties. The gold price fluctuates widely and is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global and regional supply and demand for gold or for products containing gold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in global or regional investment or consumption patterns;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased production due to new mine developments and improved mining and production methods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• decreased production due to mine closures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rates and interest rate expectation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expectations with respect to the rate of inflation or deflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fluctuations in the value of the United States dollars and other currencies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• availability and costs of metal substitutes;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• global or regional political or economic conditions; and

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 34 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• sales by central banks, holders, speculators and other gold producers in response to any of the above factors.

There can be no assurance that the gold price will remain at current levels or that the price will improve. A decrease in the market price could adversely affect the profitability of the Company's existing mines and projects, as well as its ability to finance the exploration and development of additional properties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position. A decline in gold price may require the Company to write down Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates by removing ores from Mineral Reserves that would not be economically processed at lower gold prices and revise LOM plans, which could result in material write-downs of investments in mining properties. Any of these factors could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position. Further, if revenue from gold sales declines, the Company may experience liquidity difficulties. Cash flow from mining operations may be insufficient to meet operating needs, and as a result the Company could be forced to discontinue production and could lose its interest in, or be forced to sell, some or all of its properties.

In addition to adversely affecting Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates and the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position, declining gold prices can impact operations by requiring a reassessment of the feasibility of a particular project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause substantial delays and/or may interrupt operations until the reassessment can be completed, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position. In addition, lower gold prices may require the Company to reduce funds available for exploration with the result that the depleted Mineral Reserves may not be replaced.

***Exploration, Development and Operating Risks***

Mining operations are inherently dangerous and generally involve a high degree of risk. Allied's operations are subject to all the hazards and risks normally encountered in the exploration, development and production of gold, including, without limitation, adverse environmental and climatic conditions, unusual and unexpected geologic conditions, seismic activity, flooding, pit wall failure, ground or slope failures, cave-ins, catastrophic equipment failures, fires or unavailability of materials and equipment, industrial accidents and other conditions involved in the drilling and removal of material, any of which could result in damage to, or destruction of, mines and other producing facilities, personal injury or loss of life, damage to property and environmental damage, all of which may result in possible legal liability. Although the Company expects that adequate precautions to minimize risk will be taken, mining operations are subject to hazards such as fire, rock falls, geo-mechanical issues, equipment failure or failure of retaining dams around tailings disposal areas which may result in environmental pollution and consequent liability. The occurrence of any of these events could result in a prolonged interruption of the Company's operations that would have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The exploration for and development of mineral deposits involves significant risks, which even a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. While the discovery of an ore body may result in substantial rewards, few properties that are explored are ultimately developed into producing mines. Major expenses may be required to locate and establish Mineral Reserves, to develop metallurgical processes and to construct mining and processing facilities at a particular site. It is impossible to ensure that the exploration or development programs planned by Allied will result in a profitable commercial mining operation. Whether a mineral deposit will be commercially viable depends on a number of factors, some of which are: the particular attributes of the deposit, such as size, grade and proximity to infrastructure; gold prices that are highly cyclical; and government regulations, including regulations relating to prices, taxes, royalties, land tenure, land use, importing and exporting of minerals

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 35 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

and environmental protection. The exact effect of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of these factors may result in Allied not receiving an adequate return on invested capital.

There is no certainty that the expenditures made by Allied towards the search and evaluation of mineral deposits will result in discoveries or development of commercial quantities of ore.

***Operations in Africa***

The Company holds mining, development and exploration properties in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia, exposing it to the socioeconomic conditions, as well as the laws governing the mining industry in those countries. Inherent risks with conducting foreign operations include, but are not limited to: high rates of inflation; military action; war or civil war; social and labour unrest; organized crime; hostage taking; terrorism; violent crime and civil disturbances; extreme fluctuations in currency exchange rates; expropriation and nationalization of property; renegotiation or nullification of existing concessions, licenses, permits and contracts; illegal mining; changes in laws or policies or increasing legal and regulatory requirements, including those relating to taxation, royalties, imports, exports, duties, currency, in-country beneficiation or other claims by government entities, including retroactive claims and/or changes in the administration of laws, policies and practices; uncertain political and economic environments; restrictions on foreign exchange and repatriation; lack of certainty with respect to foreign legal systems, corruption and other factors that are inconsistent with the rule of law; international sanctions, tariffs and trade restrictions; delays in obtaining or the inability to obtain or maintain necessary governmental permits or to operate in accordance with such permits or regulatory requirements; import and export regulations, including restrictions on the export of gold; limitations on the repatriation of earnings and capital; changing political norms, currency controls and governmental regulations that favour or require the Company to award contracts in, employ citizens of, or purchase supplies from, a particular jurisdiction; reliance on advisors and consultants in foreign jurisdictions in connection with regulatory, permitting or other governmental requirements; increased financing costs; and risk of loss due to disease, such as malaria or the zika virus, and other potential medical endemic or pandemic issues, such as Ebola, Marburg virus, or COVID-19, as a result of the potential related impact to employees, disruption to operations, supply chain delays and impact on economic activity in affected countries or regions. Changes, if any, in mining or investment policies or shifts in political attitude in any of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates may adversely affect the Company's operations or profitability.

Operations may be affected in varying degrees by government regulations with respect to, but not limited to, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, currency remittance, importation of parts and supplies, income, carbon and other taxes, royalties, mandatory government equity interests, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims, environmental legislation, land use, land claims of local people, water use and mine safety. Operating in emerging markets can increase the risk that contractual and/or mineral rights may be disregarded or unilaterally altered. Taxation in emerging market jurisdictions is complex, subject to varying interpretations and applications by the relevant tax authorities and subject to changes and revisions in the ordinary course. Failure to comply strictly with applicable laws, regulations and local practices relating to mineral right applications and tenure could result in loss, reduction or expropriation of entitlements. In addition, changes in government laws and regulations, including taxation, royalties, the repatriation of capital and profits, restrictions on production, export controls, changes in taxation policies, environmental and ecological compliance, expropriation of property and shifts in the political stability of the country, could adversely affect the Company's exploration, development and production initiatives in these countries and their profitability. There can be no assurance that the countries in which we operate that have yet to adopt resource nationalization frameworks or regimes will not do so in the future. There can also be no assurance that the terms and obligations of resource nationalization regimes to which our operations are subject will not increase or become more onerous. Government policy is beyond our control, may change without warning, and could

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 36 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

have the effect of discouraging further investment in Allied's operations or limit the economic value we may derive therefrom. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that Allied's assets will not be subject to specific nationalization or expropriation measures, whether legitimate or not, by any authority or body, whether state sanctioned or otherwise. While there are often frameworks and mechanisms to seek compensation and reimbursement for losses in these circumstances, there is no assurance that such measures will effectively or sufficiently compensate Allied (and its investors), nor is there any assurance that such compensation would occur in a timely fashion.

As African governments continue to struggle with deficits and challenged economies, the strength of commodity prices has resulted in the gold mining sector being targeted as a source of revenue. Governments in West Africa are continually assessing the terms for a mining company to produce resources in their country. This has in the past resulted in governments repudiating or renegotiating contracts with, and expropriating assets from, companies that are producing in such countries. Although the Company believes it has good relations with the governments of Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire, there can be no assurance that the actions of present or future governments will not materially adversely affect the business or financial condition of the Company.

The Company's mining properties in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire are subject to certain government equity interests. The mining laws of Mali and Côte d'Ivoire stipulate that when an economic ore body is discovered on a property subject to an exploration permit, a mining permit that allows processing operations on that property to be undertaken must be issued, or transferred, to a new mining company in which the Company may hold a majority interest and the government retains a minority "free-carried interest" (i.e. free of any financial obligation), of at least 10%. Such legislation entitles the respective governments in these countries to maintain the same percentage of equity interest in the event of capital increases, without a proportional contribution to the funding of the relevant asset.

In addition, mining legislations in Mali and Côte d'Ivoire provide that the respective government may exercise a right to purchase up to an additional 10-25% interest in any mining company. Whilst the Company believes that it would be entitled to payment if the governments of Mali or Côte d'Ivoire were to exercise such rights, it can provide no assurance that it would be compensated fairly or at all. Specifically in relation to Ethiopia, under Ethiopian mining laws, the Ethiopian Government may also acquire without cost, a participation of 5% of any large scale mining investment and may agree with the Company, an additional equity participation. Under the Kurmuk Development Agreement, the Government of Ethiopia will retain a 7% equity interest in the Kurmuk Project.

In addition, under the laws of, and pursuant to certain mining conventions in the countries in which we operate, we are required to make various royalty payments. Notwithstanding any stability agreements with the host governments contained in the relevant mining conventions, the laws and practices of the various governments as to foreign ownership, control of mining companies or required royalties may change in a manner which adversely affects our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, if we acquire mining interests in new jurisdictions, there can be no assurance that the legislation in those jurisdictions will be at least as favourable as the legislation that exists in the jurisdictions in which we currently operate.

While there are currently no outstanding annual area royalties on any of the Company's projects, failure by the Company to comply with the annual area royalty payments in the future, without good reason, gives rise to a risk that the relevant government ministry may provide notice for payment or withdraw the relevant permit. However, this risk is minimal where valid reasons are provided for delays in funding or works, and significant work has been undertaken on the permit.

Different economic and social issues exist in emerging markets which may affect the Company's operating and financial results. For example, infectious diseases (including malaria, HIV/AIDS,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 37 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

tuberculosis and the Ebola virus) are major health care issues in African countries. Workforce training and health programs to maximize prevention awareness and minimize the impact of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and malaria in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia and other jurisdictions in Africa may prove insufficient to adequately address these serious issues. Operations in emerging markets may also be subject to more frequent civil disturbances and criminal activities such as trespass, roadblocks, illegal mining, sabotage, theft and vandalism. These disturbances and criminal activities have caused disruptions at certain of Allied's operations, occasionally resulting in the suspension of operations. Affected sites have conducted vulnerability assessments and taken certain measures to protect their employees, property and production facilities from these risks, including entering into arrangements with public security forces that comply with humanitarian rights in the areas surrounding their mine sites. The measures that have been implemented by Allied will not guarantee that such incidents will not continue to occur and such incidents may halt or delay production, increase operating costs, result in harm to employees or trespassers, cause damage to production facilities or otherwise decrease operational efficiency, increase community tensions or result in criminal and/or civil liability for Allied or its respective employees and/or financial damages or penalties. In particular, the risks associated with civil unrest in the foreign jurisdictions and local communities in which Allied operates may lead to critical supply chain interruptions.

Even in countries where we may in the future have political risk insurance, there can be no assurance that such insurance will cover all relevant contingencies or will adequately compensate us for losses we may suffer as a result of operating in these foreign countries, nor can there be any assurance that such insurance will continue to be available in the future on a cost-effective basis or at all. Risk assessments may also categorize threats as serious enough to require resort to public security forces, such as national police or military units on a near-permanent basis. In the event that the continued operation in some countries compromises our security or business principles, we may withdraw from these countries on a temporary or permanent basis. This could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, local governmental and traditional authorities in Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire may exercise significant influence with respect to local land use, land labour and local security. From time to time, various governments around the world, albeit not in any jurisdictions in which the Company at the relevant time had operations, have intervened in the export of gold in response to concerns about the validity of export rights and payment of royalties. No assurances can be given that the co-operation of such authorities, if sought by the Company, will be obtained, and if obtained, maintained. This could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations in the following jurisdictions are subject to certain additional risks including those set out below.

Any of the risks described above and below may limit or disrupt operating mines or projects, restrict the movement of funds, cause Allied to have to expend more funds than previously expected, or result in the deprivation of contract rights or the taking of property by nationalization or expropriation without fair compensation, and may materially adversely affect Allied's financial position or results of operations.

Certain of these risks have increased in recent years. Furthermore, in the event of disputes arising from Allied's activities in Mali, Ethiopia, Côte d'Ivoire and other foreign jurisdictions in which Allied operates, Allied will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts outside Canada, which could adversely affect the outcome of the dispute.

*<u>Mali</u>*

Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger formed the Alliance of Sahel States (Alliance des États du Sahel, or "**AES**") on September 16, 2023, and subsequently announced plans to establish it as a confederation. On January 28, 2024, the three governments jointly withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States ("**ECOWAS**"), citing sanctions imposed following military coups and what they characterized as inconsistent application of ECOWAS rules. Their withdrawal has raised the prospect of increased economic and political isolation for these landlocked countries, which could affect cross-border movement, access to coastal ports and established regional trade routes. Since its formation, the AES has announced initiatives including the creation of a joint military force, the introduction of an AES passport and various domestic policy reforms, including changes affecting the mining sector. In 2023, the State of Mali reformed its mining legislation by adopting two new texts:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Law No. 2023-040 dated 29 August 2023 on the Mining Code of the Republic of Mali, which repeals Decree No. 2019-022/P-RM of 27 September 2019 on the Mining Code of the Republic of Mali; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Law No. 2023-041 dated 29 August 2023 on local content in the mining sector, which establishes a framework for the development of local human and material capacities.

The decrees implementing these texts were adopted and published in July 2024.

The drafting of the new Mining Code followed the general audit of mining companies initiated by the State of Mali, through the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The aim of this audit was for the State to find ways to improve revenues and increase its visibility on mining resources.

In 2024, the State of Mali initiated a series of negotiations with all mining companies on various subjects, including the application of the 2023 Mining Code to these companies, following the results of the audit.

In September 2024, Allied entered into a Protocol Agreement with the Government of Mali whereby the Sadiola Mine's permit was renewed for a period of ten years. The Protocol Agreement contemplates certain derogations from royalties otherwise applicable under the 2023 Mining Code, and provides for ongoing dialogue with the Government of Mali on the impact of the new law on Sadiola and on improving the mine's economics and value as it advances on its expansion plans.

Since early 2025, operating conditions in Mali have been affected by periodic fuel and supply chain disruptions associated with security-related road restrictions along certain regional transport corridors, including routes connecting Mali to ports in Senegal. These conditions have, at times, contributed to logistical delays and increased costs for certain supplies. The Company continues to actively manage its supply chain and logistics to support ongoing operations.

At the political level, member states of the Alliance of Sahel States have continued to deepen coordination in 2025, including public commitments to mutual defense, joint procurement and expanded cooperation with non-Western partners. Mali's withdrawal from ECOWAS has introduced some uncertainty regarding customs regimes, border procedures and access to coastal ports, which may affect the timing, cost and reliability of certain imports required for mining operations.

While the Company continues to engage constructively with relevant authorities and stakeholders, the political, regulatory and security environment in Mali is evolving. Changes to applicable laws, regional arrangements or operating conditions, including those affecting logistics and security, could impact the Company's business and operations in Mali.

*<u>Ethiopia</u>*

In Ethiopia, the Company's Kurmuk Project is subject to the terms of a development agreement with the Government of Ethiopia. The development agreement provides certain fiscal and tax stability to Allied for the term of the agreement, however, there can be no assurance that the Government of Ethiopia will not introduce new laws and regulations or amend existing laws and regulations that eliminate, modify or limit the stabilization protections.

High levels of national debt are an increasing concern for foreign investment in Ethiopia. The deficit is primarily financed through domestic sources, including commercial banks, state-owned enterprises, and the central bank, and delays in securing external relief have increased reliance on domestic borrowing and monetary expansion, further affecting inflation and liquidity.

Ethiopia has announced reforms (liberalization of the exchange rate and currency market) with the aim to reducing the debt service burden. In August 2024, Ethiopia implemented major foreign exchange policy reforms, including a devaluation of the currency and partial liberalization of exchange rate controls to facilitate market-based forex transactions. This move was a key condition for Ethiopia to secure lending from the International Monetary Fund ("**IMF**") and the World Bank. In January 2025, the IMF completed the second review of Ethiopia's Extended Credit Facility and approved funding to support economic stabilization measures.

The Ethiopian government has been working on reversing its long-standing fixed exchange rate policy. In July 2024, the government accepted an IMF loan to be disbursed in tranches, which brought with it significant economic reforms intended to stabilize the economy and support the country's budget. The Ethiopian government is seeking to attract investment and promote business, including mining, by addressing foreign exchange shortages and improving export competitiveness. For mining in particular, a national mining policy was announced in November 2023 to harness the country's vast mineral resources. This policy aims to create a transparent and predictable regulatory environment, enhancing local community engagement and streamlining regulatory processes.

In January 2025, Ethiopia launched the first ever Ethiopian Securities Exchange ("**ESX**"), a major milestone in economic reform strategy. The ESX aims to revitalize the financial sector by providing a fundraising platform for small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, it is part of broader market liberalization measures, including lifting restrictions on foreign banks and adopting a floating exchange rate policy.

Recent political and regional developments have contributed to Ethiopia's overall risk profile. In the Tigray region, reports during 2025 and 2026 have indicated periods of localized tension and military activity, and international observers, including the United Nations, have noted that conditions remain subject to change. These developments are geographically distant from the Kurmuk Project and have not affected the Company's operations, but form part of the broader national context.

Along Ethiopia's western border with Sudan, including areas near the Blue Nile region, there have been reports of cross-border security incidents associated with Sudan's ongoing internal conflict. While such developments have not directly affected the Company's activities, they reflect an evolving regional security environment.

Ethiopia's operation of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam continues to be the subject of on-going diplomatic engagement with downstream countries, including Sudan and Egypt. In addition, the broader information environment in the region can be complex, with varying and sometimes inconsistent reporting from official and unofficial sources.

The Company continues to monitor political, regulatory and security developments in Ethiopia. While these factors have not adversely affected the Kurmuk Project to date, changes in the political, regulatory or security environment could affect the Company's operations, financial condition or future development activities in Ethiopia.

There can be no assurance that political conditions remain stable in Ethiopia in the future or that the Company's development activities at Kurmuk and the financial condition and results of the Company will not be adversely impacted. Even if there may be no direct impact on the Company's operations at Kurmuk, market perception of country risk may adversely affect the Company's share price.

*<u>Côte d'Ivoire</u>*

The Company operates its Bonikro and Agbaou mines in Côte d'Ivoire under the terms agreed with the Government of Côte d'Ivoire and set out in the respective projects' mining conventions, providing for stability in the tax, customs and fiscal regimes applicable to these mines. While the Government of Côte d'Ivoire is generally supportive of the development of their natural resources by foreign companies, it is possible that future political and economic conditions will result in governments adopting different policies respecting foreign ownership of mineral resources, taxation, rates of exchange, environmental protection, labour relations, repatriation of income or return of capital, restrictions on production, price controls, export controls, local beneficiation of gold production, expropriation of property, foreign investment, maintenance of claims and mine safety. Cote d'Ivoire has a track record of Government and Administration continuity since its independence, however, the possibility that a future government may adopt substantially different policies, which might include the expropriation of assets, cannot be ruled out.

Côte d'Ivoire experienced a period of civil unrest in connection with the October 2020 presidential election; however, these events did not affect the Company's operations at the Bonikro and Agbaou mines. Côte d'Ivoire subsequently held a presidential election on October 25, 2025, resulting in the re-election of President Alassane Ouattara. While the electoral period was characterized by political tensions and limited participation by certain opposition candidates, the post-election period has remained generally calm, and the Company's operations were not affected.

Côte d'Ivoire has experienced a decade of relative political stability and strong economic growth and continues to be regarded as one of the more stable jurisdictions in the region. As in many countries, political developments and election cycles may contribute to periods of heightened political activity and public debate.

The Company continues to monitor political and economic developments in Côte d'Ivoire. Although political conditions have not adversely affected the Company's operations to date, changes in the political, regulatory or economic environment could impact the Company's operations, financial condition or future development activities in the country.

***Health, Safety and Environmental Risks and Hazards***

Mining, like many other extractive natural resource industries, is subject to potential risks and liabilities due to accidents that could result in serious injury or death and/or material damage to the environment and Company assets. The impact of such accidents could affect the profitability of the operations, potentially result in fines, penalties or other prosecutions, cause an interruption to operations, lead to a loss of licenses, affect the reputation of the Company and its ability to obtain further licenses, damage community relations and reduce the perceived appeal of the Company as an employer.

All phases of the Company's operations are subject to environmental and safety regulations in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. These regulations mandate, among other things, aspects

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 41 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

related to worker safety, water quality, water management, land reclamation, waste disposal (including mine waste and the generation, transportation, storage and disposal of hazardous waste), mine development and preservation of biodiversity. Failure to comply with applicable health, safety and environmental laws and regulations could result in injunctions, fines, suspension or cancellation of permits and approvals and could include other penalties including negligence claims or criminal prosecution. Health, safety and environmental legislation and regulations are generally becoming more prescriptive and enforcement is escalating with increased fines and penalties for non-compliance, more stringent environmental assessments of proposed projects, increased permitting timelines and a heightened degree of responsibility for companies and their officers, directors and employees. There is no assurance that the Company has been or will at all times be in full compliance with all environmental laws and regulations or hold, and be in full compliance with, all required environmental and health and safety permits. In addition, no assurances can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner which could have an adverse effect on the Company's financial position and operations. Failure to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permitting requirements may result in enforcement actions, including orders issued by regulatory or judicial authorities causing operations to cease or be curtailed, and may include corrective measures requiring capital expenditures, installation of additional equipment, or remedial actions. Parties engaged in mining operations, including the Company, may be required to compensate those suffering loss or damage by reason of the mining activities and may have civil or criminal fines or penalties imposed for violations of applicable laws or regulations. The potential costs and delays associated with compliance with such laws, regulations and permits could prevent the Company from proceeding with the development of a project or the operation or further development of a mine, and any non-compliance therewith may adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

Government environmental approvals, permits and licenses are currently, or may in the future be, required in connection with the Company's operations. To the extent such approvals are required and not obtained, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from proceeding with planned exploration or development of its mineral properties.

The Company may also be held financially responsible for remediation of contamination at current or former sites, or at third-party sites. The Company could also be held responsible for exposure to hazardous substances. The costs associated with such instances and liabilities could be significant.

In certain jurisdictions where Allied operates, the Company may be required to submit, for government approval, a reclamation plan and cost estimate for each of its mining/project sites. The reclamation plan establishes the Company's obligation to reclaim property after certain mining or exploration activities have been carried out by the Company. In some jurisdictions, bonds or other forms of financial assurances are required as security to ensure performance of the required reclamation activities. The Company may incur significant reclamation costs which may materially exceed the provisions the Company has made for such reclamation. In addition, the potential for additional regulatory requirements relating to reclamation or additional reclamation activities may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. When a previously unrecognized reclamation liability becomes known or a previously estimated cost is increased, the amount of that liability or additional cost may be expensed, which may materially reduce net income in that period.

Mali's Mining Code requires mining companies to open a bank account at the Central Bank of West African States to provide a form of financial assurance (bond or letter of credit) issued by an internationally recognized bank and equal to 5% of the mining company's forecasted turnover figure. This legislation has historically not been enforced since its passage in 2012. While the Company does not expect any material liability to be incurred as a result of its non-compliance with this regime, and while we in any case expect to meet our reclamation obligations upon mine closure as required by local law, we

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 42 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

can provide no assurance that the Mali Government will not impose penalties on us or otherwise require us to comply.

In connection with the Bonikro and Agbaou mines in Côte d'Ivoire, applicable legislation and the mining convention signed with the government of Côte d'Ivoire require us to open an environmental rehabilitation bank account in order to make annual contributions equal to 10% of the total forecast rehabilitation budget as stated in the environmental and social impact assessment (each an "**Instalment**") during the number of years forming the mine life (i.e. 10 years). Consequently, each year, we should deposit in cash 20% of each Instalment in the environmental rehabilitation bank account. The remaining 80% of each annual Instalment must be covered by way of a bank guarantee.

Despite being regularly updated, there exists a risk that the actual costs of reclamation and mine closure for each of the Company's properties could exceed current estimates and bonding amounts or that the estimated costs could increase in the future when the Company's reclamation and mine closure plans are updated in accordance with the terms of the relevant legislation. Accordingly, the amount the Company is required to spend on reclamation and mine closure activities could, ultimately, be materially different from current estimates. Any additional amounts required to be spent on bonding requirements, reclamation costs, and mine closure activities could materially adversely affect the Company's longer-term business, financial conditions and results of operations.

In addition, the extracting and processing ore involves significant quantities of residue material, including tailings deposited onto a TSF. The purpose of these TSFs is to receive deposits of tailings and allow water to separate from the fine waste particles, either naturally or through a mechanised process, such that the water can be recycled back into mining processes. A tailings storage facility is specifically designed, constructed and operated to deal with the physical nature of the tailings materials, as well as local climate, topography and seismic activity that are in conformance with local requirements and best practices. Should a breach of these facilities occur due to present-day limitations on engineering and scientific knowledge related to extreme weather, seismic event, or other incident, the Company could suffer a material financial impact on its operations and financial condition, including the potential for criminal and financial liability.

Tailings facilities present the industry with social, safety and environmental challenges throughout the lifecycle of mining operations and as such, our technical standards include all additional technical requirements as called for under the Global Industry Standard on tailings management, including the application of tailings management and dam safety principles provided by ANCOLD. Dam safety practices include completion of regular reviews and field inspections of the TSF areas by internal and external technical specialists, on-going monitoring of the TSF performance, development of clear operational procedures, and preparation of site-specific emergency response plans, considering results of dam breach analyses and inundation studies completed for each TSF.

Presently, the Company is advancing with the implementation of a risk-based tailings management standard framework to support with adequate identification, assessment and control of tailings management related risks in all of our operations. The Company's tailings systems are frequently reviewed and upgraded based on input provided by internal and external specialists and to reflect changing environmental conditions, industry standards and the regulations affecting each of the jurisdictions where the Company operates.

The Company's process plants involve the use of sodium cyanide, which is a hazardous chemical. Should cyanide leak or otherwise be discharged from the containment system, the Company could suffer a material impact on its business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is aligned to the International Cyanide Management Code. The objective of the Cyanide Code is to improve the management of cyanide used in gold and silver mining and to enhance protection of human

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 43 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

health and the reduction of environmental impacts from inadvertent releases or exposures to the chemical. The Company actively engages with local communities to provide timely information about the operations and participates in a variety of activities to contribute to the wellbeing of local communities. Health, safety, environmental or other incidents, real or perceived, could cause community unrest that may manifest into protests, road blockages, or other civil disobedience activities that could materially disrupt the Company's operations.

The mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health and safety, hazardous substances, waste management and other matters. Although the Company believes that its activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, new rules and regulations may be enacted, or existing rules and regulations may be applied in a manner that could limit or curtail production or development of the Company's properties. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the operations and activities of the Company or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. See *"Risk Factors – Operations in Africa*" above.

The Company's operations also involve transportation of resources using large vehicles that travel on roads which are shared with other road users. Traffic accidents may occur and this could result in injury or death and/or damage to Company assets, both of which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and reputation. The Company mitigates this risk through various safety and security initiatives. Despite these mitigation efforts, there can be no assurance that traffic accidents would not occur.

Among the other environmental risks that Allied has identified across all of its operations are water supply, water management, energy efficiency change and biodiversity related risks. For more details regarding Allied's management approach to each of these areas, see "*Description of the Business – Approach to Sustainability*".

***Maintaining or Increasing Present Level of Gold Production***

Maintaining or increasing present levels of gold production is dependent on the successful development of new producing mines and/or identification of additional reserves at existing mining operations. Reduced production could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition. Feasibility studies are conducted to determine the economic viability of a deposit. Many factors and assumptions are involved in the determination of the economic viability of a deposit, including the achievement of satisfactory Mineral Reserve estimates, the level of estimated metallurgical recoveries, capital and operating cost estimates and the estimate of future gold prices. Additionally, capital and operating cost estimates are based upon other factors and assumptions, including anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the configuration of the ore body, ground and mining conditions, expected recovery rates of the gold from the ore and anticipated environmental and regulatory compliance.

No assurance can be given that the intended or expected production estimates will be achieved by the Company's operating mines or in respect of any future mining operations in which the Company owns or may acquire interests. Failure to meet such production estimates could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, or financial condition. Production estimates are dependent on, among other things, the accuracy of Mineral Reserve estimates, the accuracy of assumptions regarding ore grades and recovery rates, ground conditions and physical characteristics of ores, such as hardness and the presence or absence of particular metallurgical characteristics and the accuracy of estimated rates and costs of mining and processing.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 44 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

A number of events could affect the profitability or economic feasibility of one of the Company's projects. The Company could encounter unanticipated changes in grade and tonnage of ore to be mined and processed or adverse geotechnical conditions, incorrect data on which engineering assumptions are made or variances in actual versus projected costs of constructing and operating a mine in a specific environment. The Company is also open to risk based on availability of labour and skilled personnel and economic sources of power, availability and costs of processing and refining facilities, adequacy of water supply, availability of surface tenure on which to locate processing and refining facilities, adequate access to the site, including functional infrastructure and competing land uses (such as agriculture and artisanal mining) and unanticipated transportation costs. One or more of the above-mentioned factors may adversely affect the performance of mining assets that we have acquired in takeovers or mergers with other companies where due diligence conclusions may subsequently be proved to have been unreliable or inaccurate, or where matters of significant judgement at the time of the transaction are subsequently shown to have been erroneous or incomplete. Additionally, the Company's projects could be affected by new or existing government regulations, geopolitical events, accidents, labour actions and force majeure events, or availability of financing.

It is not unusual in new mining operations to experience unexpected problems during the start-up phase, and delays can often occur at the start of production. Each of these factors involves uncertainties and, as a result, the Company cannot give any assurance that our development or exploration projects will become operating mines. If a mine is developed, actual capital and operating costs and operating results may differ materially from those anticipated in a feasibility study or other internal estimates.

***Nature and Climatic Condition Risk***

The Company and the broader mining industry can face geotechnical challenges, which could adversely impact the Company's production and profitability. Unanticipated adverse geotechnical and hydrological conditions, such as landslides, droughts, pit wall failures, tailings facility instability and rock fragility may occur in the future and such events may not be detected in advance. Geotechnical instabilities and adverse climatic conditions can be difficult to predict and are often affected by risks and hazards outside of the Company's control, such as seismic activity, severe weather and considerable rainfall, which may lead to periodic floods, mudslides and embankment instability, which could potentially result in slippage of material or, under extreme circumstances, lead to a tailings dam failure.

Geotechnical failures could result in limited or restricted access to mine sites, suspension of operations, government investigations, increased monitoring costs, remediation costs, loss of ore and other impacts including financial liability, which could cause one or more of the Company's projects to be less profitable than currently anticipated and could result in a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and financial position.

Specifically in relation to Sadiola, pit slope stabilities in the Sadiola main sulphide pits may be compromised due to potential localized failures with the slopes. The Company has taken measures to mitigate this geotechnical risk including by undertaking additional geotechnical drilling, final wall blasting practices and radar monitoring of the pit walls during operations to provide early warning of any slope instabilities. The pit design also mitigates the risk by incorporates two ramps, both of which can exit the pit to the north and south and opens up the pits in stages. Despite these mitigation efforts, there is still a high risk that the Sadiola main sulphide pits could be damaged due to a wall failure.

Furthermore, the occurrence of physical weather extreme events may result in substantial costs to respond and/or recover from an event, and to prevent recurrent damage, through either the modification of, or addition to, existing infrastructure at the Company's operations.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 45 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Allied is undertaking a risk-based approach, cognizant of the fact that its operational mines have been operating for up to 25 years, have relatively short remaining life spans and are less exposed to the longer-term changes in weather patterns but remain exposed to the more frequent and intense extreme weather events that have been observed around the world. Allied's expansion and development projects that have longer life spans (10-15 years) are exposed to both types of acute and chronic physical risk. The significance of the physical risks identified varies across our operating locations, based on the climatic zone, the sources of water and key supply chain routes.

The Company's assets are located in Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire, which are areas that can be subject to severe climatic conditions. Severe weather conditions, such as hot temperatures in dry season and torrential rain, potentially causing flooding, could have a material adverse effect on operations, including on the delivery of supplies, equipment and fuel and exploration and production levels.

The Sadiola (Mali), Bonikro and Agbaou (both Côte d'Ivoire) mines are located in West Africa, a region in which the year is divided into rainy and dry seasons. The Company has introduced wet season preparations for the mitigation of the impact of heavy rains during the rainy season. There are also an abundance of insects, some of which may carry diseases such as malaria, which can impact our employees and contractors. While the Company can mitigate certain of the effects of the rains and flooding by introducing wet season preparations and utilizing stockpile and, implementing vector control measures, the seasonal rainfall may have an impact on the Company's operations. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition.

***Counterparty, Credit, Liquidity and Interest Rate Risks and Access to Financing***

The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, but not limited to: (i) financial institutions that hold the Company's cash and short-term investments; (ii) companies that have payables to the Company, including bullion customers; (iii) shipping service providers that move the Company's material; (iv) the Company's insurance providers; and (v) the Company's lenders. The Company seeks to limit counterparty risk by entering into business arrangements with high credit-quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of counterparties. For cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable, credit risk is represented by the carrying amount on the balance sheet. The Company is also exposed to liquidity risks in meeting its operating and capital expenditure requirements in instances where cash positions are unable to be maintained or appropriate financing is unavailable. The Company mitigates liquidity risk through internal reporting and forecasting practices that enable Allied to manage all expenditures and cash flows. These factors may impact the ability of the Company to additional obtain loans and other credit facilities and refinance existing facilities in the future on terms favourable to the Company, or at all. Such failures to obtain additional loans and other credit facilities could require the Company to take measures to conserve cash and could adversely affect its access to the liquidity needed for the business in the longer term.

The operation and exploration and development of the Company's properties, including continuing exploration and development projects, and the construction or expansion of mining facilities and commencement or expansion of mining operations, may require substantial additional financing. Failure to obtain sufficient financing will result in a delay or indefinite postponement of exploration, development or production on any or all of the Company's properties or even a loss of a property interest. Additional financing may not be available when needed or if available, the terms of such financing might not be favourable to the Company and might involve substantial dilution to existing shareholders. Failure to raise capital when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 46 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

***Commodity Prices and Availability***

The profitability of the Company's operations will be dependent upon the cost and availability of commodities which are consumed or otherwise used in connection with the Company's operations and projects, including, but not limited to, diesel, fuel, natural gas, electricity, steel, concrete and cyanide. Commodity prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the control of the Company, including, without limitation, the continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia in connection therewith, the U.S. government intervention in Venezuela, the continuance or escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, including the United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, the imposition of, and threats of additional tariffs by the United States, which have and may continue to result in increased prices for a variety of commodities and which could have other long-term effects on the global economy. Further, as many of the Company's mines are in remote locations and energy is generally a limited resource, the Company faces the risk that there may not be sufficient energy available to carry out mining activities efficiently or that certain sources of energy may not be available.

***Increase in Production Costs***

Changes in the Company's production costs could have a major impact on its profitability. Its main production expenses are personnel and contractor costs, materials, and energy. Changes in costs of the Company's mining and processing operations could occur as a result of unforeseen events, including international and local economic and political events, including, without limitation, the recent imposition of, and threats of additional tariffs by the United States, continuance or escalation of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia in connection therewith, the U.S. government intervention in Venezuela, and the continuance or escalation of the conflict in the middle east, including the United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, which have and/or may continue to result in increased prices for a variety of commodities and which could have other long-term effects on the global economy, other changes in commodity prices, increased costs (including oil, steel and diesel) and scarcity of labour, and could result in changes in profitability or Mineral Reserve estimates. In addition to potentially affecting the price of commodities, general inflationary pressures may also affect the Company's labor, commodity, and other input costs at operations. Many of these factors may be beyond the Company's control.

The Company relies on third-party suppliers for a number of raw input materials. Any material increase in the cost of raw materials, or the inability by the Company to source third party suppliers for the supply of its raw materials, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or financial condition.

The Company prepares estimates of future cash costs and capital costs for its operations and projects. There is no assurance that actual costs will not exceed such estimates. Exceeding cost estimates could have an adverse impact on the Company's future results of operations or financial condition.

***Infectious Diseases***

Infectious diseases (including malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and the Ebola virus) are major health care issues in African countries. Workforce training and health programs to maximize prevention awareness and minimize the impact of infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and malaria in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia and other jurisdictions in Africa may prove insufficient to adequately address these serious issues. An outbreak or threat of outbreak of infectious diseases could have a material adverse effect on the Company by causing operational and supply chain delays and disruptions (including as a result of government regulation and prevention measures), labour shortages and shutdowns, social

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 47 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

unrest, breach of material contracts and customer agreements, government or regulatory actions or inactions, increased insurance premiums, decreased demand or the inability to sell and deliver gold, declines in the price of gold, delays in permitting or approvals, governmental disruptions, capital markets volatility, or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. In addition, governments may impose strict emergency measures in response to the threat or existence of an infectious disease. There can be no assurance that Allied would not be adversely affected if a pandemic were to persist for an extended period of time.

In addition, a significant outbreak of contagious diseases in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could result in a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company's business and the market price of the Common Shares. Accordingly, any outbreak or threat of an outbreak of an epidemic disease or similar public health emergency could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources***

To extend the lives of its mines and projects, ensure the continued operation of the business and realize its growth strategy, it is essential that the Company continue to realize its existing identified Mineral Reserves, convert Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves, increase its Mineral Resource base by adding new Mineral Resources from areas of identified mineralized potential, and/or undertake successful exploration or acquire new Mineral Resources.

No assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades in respect of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources contained in this AIF will be achieved, that the indicated level of recovery will be realized or that Mineral Reserves will be mined or processed profitably. Actual Mineral Reserves may not conform to geological, metallurgical or other expectations, and the volume and grade of ore recovered may differ from estimated levels. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, including many factors beyond the Company's control. Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any Mineral Reserve or Mineral Resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation. Short-term operating factors relating to the Mineral Reserves, such as the need for orderly development of the ore bodies or the processing of new or different ore grades, may cause the mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period. In addition, there can be no assurance that gold recoveries in small scale laboratory tests will be duplicated in larger scale tests under on-site conditions or during production. Lower market prices, increased production costs, reduced recovery rates and other factors may result in a revision of its Mineral Reserve estimates from time to time or may render the Company's Mineral Reserves uneconomic to exploit. Mineral Reserve data is not indicative of future results of operations. If the Company's actual Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are less than current estimates or if the Company fails to develop its Mineral Resource base through the realization of identified mineralized potential, its results of operations or financial condition may be materially and adversely affected. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources are reviewed periodically, and estimates may change depending on further geological interpretation, drilling results and metal prices, among other factors.

Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The category of Inferred Mineral Resource is the Mineral Resource category with a lower level of confidence and is subject to the most variability. Due to the uncertainty which may attach to Inferred Mineral Resources, there is no assurance that Inferred Mineral Resources will be upgraded to a higher Mineral Resource category or ultimately to Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves as a result of continued exploration.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 48 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

***Replacement of Depleted Mineral Reserves***

Given that mines have limited lives based on Proven Mineral Reserves and Probable Mineral Reserves, the Company must continually replace and expand Mineral Reserves at its mines. The LOM estimates included in this AIF may not prove to be correct. The Company's ability to maintain or increase its annual production will be dependent in part on its ability to bring new mines and/or endowment extensions into production and to expand Mineral Reserves at existing mines. As a result of these uncertainties, there is no assurance that current or future exploration programs will be successful. There is a risk that depletion of Mineral Reserves will not be offset by discoveries.

***Uncertainty Relating to Future Production Estimates***

The Company prepares estimates and projections of future production for its existing and future mines. Any such information is forward-looking and no assurance can be given that such estimates will be achieved. These estimates are based on existing mine plans and other assumptions which change from time to time, including: Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource estimates; the availability, accessibility, sufficiency and quality of ore; the Company's costs of production; the Company's ability to sustain and increase production levels; the sufficiency of the Company's infrastructure; the performance of the Company's workforce and equipment, the Company's ability to maintain and obtain mining interests and permits; and the Company's compliance with existing and future laws and regulations. The Company's actual production may vary from estimates for a variety of reasons, including: actual ore mined varying from estimates of grade, tonnage, dilution and metallurgical and other characteristics; revisions to mine plans; unusual or unexpected orebody formations; risks and hazards associated with mining; natural phenomena, such as inclement weather conditions, water availability, floods, and seismic activity; and unexpected labour shortages, strikes, local community opposition or blockades. Failure to achieve the estimated forecasts could have an adverse impact on the Company's profitability, future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

***Partial Ownerships***

All of the properties in which Allied has an interest, including Sadiola, Kurmuk, Bonikro and Agbaou, are owned in part by the host government or third parties.

Allied's projects are therefore subject to the risks normally associated with the conduct of jointly-held projects, which may include, but are not limited to, disagreement with the joint holder on how to develop and operate mines efficiently or disputes arising with joint holders regarding matters such as project financing, development milestones and offtake matters. The existence or occurrence of one or more of the foregoing circumstances and events, for example, could have a material adverse impact on the Company's profitability, future cash flows, earnings, results of operations and financial condition.

***Infrastructure***

Mining, processing, development and exploration activities depend, to one degree or another, on adequate infrastructure. Reliable roads, bridges, power sources and water supply are important determinants that affect capital and operating costs. Unusual or infrequent weather phenomena, sabotage, government or other interference in the maintenance or provision of such infrastructure could adversely affect the Company's operations, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's projects are relatively remote mine sites with extensive supply lines supporting operations and relatively poor transport infrastructure. The risk of any interruption to the supply chain may result in shortage or absences of key materials and consumables, causing delays or suspension of

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 49 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

production, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company relies on the supply and availability of various services and equipment in order to successfully run its operations. For example, timely delivery of mining equipment and consumables (such as fuel and reagents for the processing plants) and the availability of such equipment and consumables is essential to the Company's ability to produce gold. Any delay to the supply and availability of the various services and equipment may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.

***Mining Laws, Regulations and Permitting***

The mineral exploration activities of the Company are subject to various laws governing prospecting, development, production, taxes, labour standards and occupational health, mine safety, toxic substances and other matters. Mining and exploration activities are also subject to various laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Although the Company believes that its exploration activities are currently carried out in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations, no assurance can be given that new rules and regulations will not be enacted or that existing rules and regulations will not be applied in a manner that could limit or curtail production or development of the Company's properties. Amendments to current laws and regulations governing the operations and activities of the Company or more stringent implementation thereof could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company's operations are subject to receiving and maintaining permits from relevant governmental authorities. The maintenance, renewal and granting of these tenement rights depends on the Company being successful in obtaining required statutory approvals and complying with regulatory processes (including the stamping and registration of documentation relating to these tenement rights). There is no assurance that delays will not occur in connection with obtaining all necessary renewals of permits for the Company's existing operations, additional permits for any possible future changes to operations, or additional permits associated with new legislation. Prior to any development on any of its properties, the Company must receive permits from appropriate governmental authorities. There can be no assurance that the Company will obtain and continue to hold all permits necessary to develop or continue operating at any particular property. A failure to obtain these statutory approvals or comply with these regulatory processes may adversely affect the Company's title to such tenement rights and which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.

Further, there is no guarantee or assurance that the licenses, concessions, leases, permits or consents will be renewed or extended as and when required or that such renewed or extended permits won't be modified or amended or that new conditions will not be imposed in connection with the Company's mining permits. The renewal or grant of the terms of each mining permit is usually at the discretion of the relevant government authority. To the extent such approvals, consents or renewals are not obtained or are materially modified or amended in an adverse manner, the Company may be curtailed or prohibited from continuing with its exploration, development and mining activities or proceeding with any future development which may have a material adverse effect on the business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Company.

***Insurance and Uninsured Risks***

Allied's business is subject to a number of risks and hazards generally, including those inherent in mineral exploration, developing and mining operations as described in "*Exploration, Development and Operating Risks*", many of which are beyond Allied's control. Such occurrences could result in damage to

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 50 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

mineral properties or production facilities, personal injury or death, environmental damage to the Company's properties or the properties of others, delays in mining, monetary losses and possible legal liability.

Allied's insurance will not cover all the potential risks associated with the Company's operations. Even if available, Allied may also be unable to maintain insurance to cover these risks at economically feasible premiums. Insurance coverage may not continue to be available or may not be adequate to cover any resulting liability. Moreover, insurance against risks such as environmental pollution or other hazards as a result of exploration and production is not generally available to Allied or to other companies in the mining industry on acceptable terms. Allied might also become subject to liability for pollution or other hazards that may not be insured against or that Allied may elect not to insure against because of premium costs or other reasons. Losses from these events could cause Allied to incur significant costs that could have a material adverse effect upon its financial performance and results of operations. Should the Company be unable to fully fund the cost of remedying an environmental problem, the Company might be required to suspend operations or enter into interim compliance measures pending completion of the required remedy, which may have a material adverse effect. The Company may suffer a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position if it incurs a material loss related to any significant event that is not covered, or adequately covered, by its insurance policies.

***Artisanal and Small Scale Mining***

Allied's mining and development projects are all subject to artisanal and small-scale mining ("**ASM**") activities. The number of artisanal miners has increased as the price of gold has increased. There is a risk of conflict with the artisanal miners, which could materially adversely affect our operations. It is difficult for Allied to totally control artisanal mining activities on and around its properties. Artisanal mining can be associated with a number of negative impacts, including environmental degradation, human rights abuse, child labour and funding of conflict. Should artisanal miner's sodium cyanide or mercury leak or otherwise be discharged into its mineral properties in material quantities, Allied may become subject to liability for clean-up work that may not be insured. Related clean-up work may have a material adverse effect on Allied's operations.

ASM presents a complex challenge for the gold mining industry, one we are actively managing at all our sites. Most activities within the ASM sector are informal and unregulated. This unregulated nature poses numerous risks and impacts to people and the environment, especially where ASM intersects with our activities.

Allied relies in part on government support and enforcement to manage artisanal mining activities near its operations, recognizing that ASM is a traditional activity in certain jurisdictions. Enforcement, however, may not be fully effective. Further development of Allied's mining activities may require the relocation and physical resettlement of artisanal miners by the authorities and development plans may be impacted as a result. Any delays as a result of potential relocation or resettlement could negatively impact Allied and may result in additional expenses or prevent further development. Additional community development and security presence will continue to form part of the Company's capital and operating costs and may negatively affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition.

Allied has developed the following ASM strategy:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•Government*: Recognizing the role of governments in facilitating dialogue on mutually beneficial initiatives related to managing ASM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•Communities*: Strengthening community engagement programs to highlight the risks and impacts of ASM activities, including safety and security risk to both employees of Allied

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 51 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

and ASM miners themselves, promoting greater awareness of the positive benefits of the Company's mining operations, and implementing support programs that encourage diversified livelihood activities through ongoing community development planning.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•Law and Justice*: Facilitating the development of the law enforcement sector and collaborating with authorities to secure the Company's boundaries.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•Public Relations*: Continuing to build relationships with non-government stakeholders to facilitate partnerships on development projects.

***Compliance with Anti-Corruption Laws***

Allied is and will be subject to various anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws and regulations including but not limited to the Canadian *Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act*, the *Extractive Sector Transparency Measures Act* ("**ESTMA**"), as well as similar laws in the countries in which the Company conducts business. In general, these laws prohibit a company and its employees and intermediaries from bribing or making other prohibited payments to foreign officials or other persons to obtain or retain business or gain some other business advantage. ESTMA, which became effective June 1, 2015, requires public disclosure of payments to governments by mining and oil and gas companies engaged in the commercial development of oil, gas and minerals who are either publicly listed in Canada or with business or assets in Canada. Mandatory annual reporting is required for extractive companies with respect to payments made to foreign and domestic governments at all levels, including entities established by two or more governments.

According to Transparency International, Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire are perceived as having fairly high levels of corruption relative to Canada. Allied cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which its operations might be subject, or the way existing laws might be administered or interpreted. In recent years, there has been a general increase in both the frequency of enforcement and the severity of penalties under such anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, resulting in greater scrutiny and punishment of companies found in violation of such laws. Failure to comply with the applicable legislation and other similar foreign laws could expose the Company and its senior management to civil and/or criminal penalties, other sanctions and remedial measures, legal expenses and reputational damage, all of which could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations, as well as have an adverse effect on the market price of the Common Shares. Although Allied has adopted practices that aim to ensure compliance with such requirements, there can be no assurance or guarantee that such practices and other efforts have been and will be completely effective in ensuring Allied's compliance, and the compliance of its employees, consultants, contractors, suppliers, affiliates and other agents, with all applicable anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws.

In addition, certain jurisdictions in which we carry on business, or certain nationals of those jurisdictions, are or may become subject to sanctions or other similar measures imposed by individual countries, such as Canada, the United States or the European Union or through United Nations sanctions that Canada implements. In addition, there is the risk that individuals or entities with which we currently engage or do business with could be designated or identified under such sanctions or measures. Our failure to comply with such sanctions or measures, whether inadvertent or otherwise, could expose us and our senior management to civil and/or criminal penalties, becoming implicated or designated under such sanctions, becoming subject to additional remedial processes (including limitations on our ability to carry on our business or operations in a given jurisdiction), legal expenses, or reputational damage, all of which could materially and adversely affect our business, operations and financial condition, at both our specific operations and our Company as a whole. We are strongly committed to fully complying with all

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 52 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

sanctions and other similar measures that affect our business and the jurisdictions in which we operate. Additional or expanded sanctions may have other impacts on us and our operations.

As at the date of this AIF, the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Canada have each imposed sanctions against Mali. Certain of these sanctions target individuals and groups, including Mali's transition authorities and other transition institutions. As these situations remain in flux, there is the risk that individuals or entities with which we currently engage or do business could be designated under these sanctions or become subject to other similar measures, or that critical supply routes may be disrupted. Such developments could have a material adverse impact on the Company's Malian operations and the Company as a whole.

***Development, Construction and Start-up of New Mines***

The success of development projects, including the Kurmuk Project, and any expansion of the Sadiola Mine including the Korali Sud Property, and the construction and start-up of new mines by the Company, is subject to a number of factors, including the availability and performance of engineering and construction contractors, mining contractors, suppliers and consultants, the receipt of required governmental approvals and permits in connection with the construction of mining facilities and the conduct of mining operations (including environmental permits), the successful completion and operation of open pits, the comminution/adsorption/desorption/recovery plants and conveyors to move ore, among other operational elements. Timelines to permit new mining operations continue to increase and permitting requirements are becoming more stringent. Any delay in the performance of any one or more of the contractors, suppliers, consultants or other persons on which the Company is dependent in connection with its development and construction activities, a delay in or failure to receive the required governmental approvals and permits in a timely manner or on reasonable terms, or a delay in or failure in connection with the completion and successful operation of the operational elements in connection with new mines could delay or prevent the development, construction and start-up of new mines as planned. There can be no assurance that current or future development, construction and start-up plans implemented by the Company, including at the Kurmuk Project, and in connection with any expansion of the Sadiola Mine including the Korali Sud Property, will be successful, that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to finance construction and start-up activities, that personnel and equipment will be available in a timely manner or on reasonable terms to successfully complete development and construction projects, that the Company will be able to obtain all necessary governmental approvals and permits or that the completion of the development and construction, the start-up costs and the ongoing operating costs associated with the development of new mines will not be significantly higher than anticipated by the Company. Any of the foregoing factors could adversely impact the business and financial condition of the Company.

Some of the Company's projects have no operating history upon which to base estimates of future cash flow. The capital expenditures and time required to develop new mines or other projects are considerable and changes in costs or construction schedules can affect project economics. Thus, it is possible that actual costs may change significantly and economic returns may differ materially from the Company's estimates.

Commercial viability of a new mine or development project is predicated on many factors. Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources projected by feasibility studies and technical assessments performed on the projects may not be realized, and the level of future metal prices needed to ensure commercial viability may not materialize. Consequently, there is a risk that start-up of new mine and development projects may be subject to write-down and/or closure as they may not be commercially viable.

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

***Acquisitions and Integration, and Divestitures***

From time to time the Company examines opportunities to acquire additional mining assets and businesses. Any acquisition that the Company may choose to complete may be of a significant size, may change the scale of the Company's business and operations, and may expose the Company to new geographic, political, operating, financial and geological risks. The Company's success in its acquisition activities depends on its ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates, negotiate acceptable terms for any such acquisition, and integrate the acquired operations successfully with those of the Company. Any acquisitions would be accompanied by risks. For example, there may be a significant change in commodity prices after the Company has committed to complete the transaction and established the purchase price or exchange ratio; a material ore body may prove to perform below expectations; the Company may have difficulty integrating and assimilating the operations and personnel of any acquired companies, realizing anticipated synergies and maximizing the financial and strategic position of the combined enterprise, and maintaining uniform standards, policies and controls across the organization; the integration of the acquired business or assets may disrupt the Company's ongoing business and its relationships with employees, customers, suppliers and contractors; and the acquired business or assets may have unknown liabilities which may be significant. In the event that the Company chooses to raise debt capital to finance any such acquisition, the Company's leverage will be increased. If the Company chooses to use equity as consideration for such acquisition, existing shareholders may experience dilution. There can be no assurance that the Company would be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with such acquisitions.

Allied may also from time to time pursue the disposition of producing operations, development or exploration properties. Any disposition that Allied may choose to complete may change the scale of its business and operations and result in a reduction of Allied's existing consolidated Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources.

In addition, the acquisition or divestiture process itself can be arduous and complex and may be a distraction from existing operations for key members of management and the Board, and there is no guarantee that any such process will lead to a successful closing.

***Land Title***

The acquisition and maintenance of title to mineral properties is generally a detailed and time-consuming process. Title to, and the area of, mining and exploration licences may be disputed. Title insurance is generally not available for mineral properties and the Company's ability to ensure that it has obtained secure mine tenure may be severely constrained. There is no guarantee that title to any of its properties will not be challenged or impaired. Third parties may have valid claims underlying portions of the Company's interests, including prior unregistered liens, agreements, transfers or claims, and title may be affected by, among other things, undetected defects. If these challenges are successful, this could have an adverse effect on the development of the Company's properties as well as its results of operations, cash flows and financial position. In addition, the Company may be unable to operate its properties as permitted or to enforce its rights with respect to its properties.

***Termination of Mining Rights***

The Company's mining licenses or mining conventions or development agreements with governments in the jurisdictions where the Company operates may be terminated in certain circumstances. Under the laws of the Company's operating jurisdictions, Mineral Resources belong to the state and governmental concessions are required to explore for, and exploit, Mineral Reserves. The Company holds mining, exploration and other related licenses, permits or agreements in each of the jurisdictions where it is operating and where it is carrying on development projects and prospects. The

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 54 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

licenses, permits or agreements held by the Company in respect of its operations, development projects and prospects may be terminated under certain circumstances, including where minimum production levels are not achieved by the Company (or a corresponding penalty is not paid), if certain fees are not paid or if environmental and safety standards are not met. Termination of any one or more of the Company's mining, exploration or other licences, permits or agreements could have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

***Security and Human Rights***

Allied's operations and development and exploration activities extend to jurisdictions which may be considered to have an increased degree of security risk. For example, Mali experienced a number of security-related challenges, including attacks by insurgent militants and a military coup in both August 2020 and May 2021, which led to the implementation of a new transitional government in each case. These events have increased the security risk applicable to all mining companies in the country and in West Africa in general. The impacts of these risks could impede the exploration, development and operation of Allied's mines in these countries.

While there is no reason to believe that Allied's employees or operations will be targeted by criminal and/or terrorist activities in West Africa, risks associated with conducting business in the region, along with the increased perception that such incidents are likely to occur, may disrupt the Company's operations, limit its ability to hire and keep qualified personnel, and impair its access to sources of capital or insurance on terms and at rates that are commercially viable. Further, although the Company has developed procedures regarding the mitigation of such risks, due to the unpredictable nature of criminal and/or terrorist activities, there is no assurance that its efforts will be able to effectively mitigate such risks and safeguard the Company's personnel and assets.

The measures that have been implemented by the Company cannot guarantee that such incidents will not continue to occur and such incidents may halt or delay production, increase operating costs, result in harm to employees or trespassers, decrease operational efficiency, increase community tensions, negatively impact Allied's reputation or result in criminal and/or civil liability for the Company or its employees and/or financial damages or penalties.

The manner in which the Company's personnel respond to civil disturbances and criminal activities can give rise to additional risks where those responses are not conducted in a manner that is consistent with international standards relating to the use of force and respect for human rights (see "*Description of the Business – Approach to Sustainability – Community Relations and Generating Local Benefits*"). Allied has implemented a number of measures and safeguards which are designed to assist its personnel in understanding and upholding these standards. The implementation of these measures will not guarantee that the Company's personnel will uphold these standards in every instance. The failure to conduct security operations in accordance with these standards can result in harm to employees or community members, increased community tensions, reputational harm to Allied and its partners or result in litigation, criminal and/or civil liability for the Company or its employees and/or financial damages or penalties.

Artisanal mining, which involves trespass into the operating area of the mine, is both a security and safety issue at certain of Allied's operations. The artisanal miners from time to time have clashed with mine security staff and law enforcement personnel who have attempted to move them away from the facilities. The presence of the artisanal miners, given the nature of the mines' operations, creates a safety issue for the artisanal miners as well as Allied's employees and can cause disruptions to mine operations.

It is not possible to determine with certainty the future costs that Allied may incur in dealing with the issues described above at its operations. However, if the number of incidents increases, costs

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 55 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

associated with security, in the case of civil disturbances and artisanal mining, may also increase, affecting profitability.

***Processing***

Metal and/or mineral recoveries are dependent upon metallurgical processes, which by their nature contain elements of significant risk such as identifying a metallurgical process through test work to produce a saleable metal and/or concentrate, developing an economic process route to produce a metal and/or concentrate, and changes in mineralogy in the ore deposit which can result in inconsistent metal recovery, affecting the economic viability of the Company's projects.

The Company operates a number of processing plants that are designed to treat a variety of ore sources with varying metallurgical properties. It is possible that future ore sources may exhibit metallurgical characteristics that are different from those that have been treated to date and that this may result in lower recoveries and/or higher processing costs, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

***Enforcement of Legal Rights***

The Company has material subsidiaries organized under the laws of Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia and certain of the Company's directors, management and personnel are located in foreign jurisdictions. Given that the majority of the Company's material assets and certain of its directors, management and personnel are located outside of Canada, investors may have difficulty in effecting service of process within Canada and collecting from or enforcing against the Company, or its directors and officers, any judgments issued by the Canadian courts or Canadian securities regulatory authorities and predicated on the civil liability provisions of Canadian securities legislation or other laws of Canada. Similarly, in the event a dispute arises in connection with the Company's foreign operations, the Company may be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of foreign courts or may not be successful in subjecting foreign persons to the jurisdiction of courts in Canada.

Challenges also exist with respect to inconsistent application of the rule of law in certain of the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, as court systems in West Africa may offer less certainty as to the judicial outcome or a more protracted judicial process than is the case in more established economies. Businesses can become involved in lengthy court cases over simple issues when rulings are not clearly defined, and any inconsistencies in the drafting of laws and excessive delays in the legal process for resolving issues or disputes compound such problems. In addition, enforcement of laws may depend on and be subject to the interpretation placed upon such laws by the relevant local authority, and such authority may adopt an interpretation of an aspect of local law which differs from the advice that has been given to the Company by local lawyers or even previously by the relevant local authority itself. Furthermore, there is limited relevant case law providing guidance on how courts would interpret such laws and the application of such laws to the Company's contracts, joint ventures, licenses, license applications or other arrangements. Thus, there can be no assurance that contracts, joint ventures, licenses, license applications or other legal arrangements will not be adversely affected by the actions of government authorities.

Accordingly, the Company could face risks such as: (i) effective legal redress in the courts of certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates being more difficult to obtain, whether in respect of a breach of law or regulation, or in a contract or an ownership dispute, (ii) a higher degree of discretion on the part of governmental authorities and therefore less certainty, (iii) the lack of judicial or administrative guidance on interpreting applicable rules and regulations, (iv) inconsistencies or conflicts between and within various laws, regulations, decrees, orders and resolutions, or (v) relative inexperience of the judiciary and courts in such matters.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 56 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

***Competition***

The mining industry is intensely competitive in all of its phases and the Company competes with many companies possessing greater financial and technical resources than itself. Competition in the precious metals mining industry is primarily for: mineral rich properties that can be developed and produced economically; the technical expertise to find, develop, and operate such properties; the labour to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors conduct exploration, development and mining operations on a global basis. Such competition may result in the Company being unable to acquire desired properties, to recruit or retain qualified employees or to acquire the capital necessary to fund its operations and develop its properties. Existing or future competition in the mining industry could materially adversely affect the Company's prospects for mineral exploration and success in the future.

***Indebtedness***

The Company's ability to make scheduled payments on or refinance its debt obligations (if necessary) depends on its financial condition and operating performance, which are subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond the Company's control, including the market price of gold. The Company may be unable to maintain a level of cash flow from operating activities sufficient to permit it to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Company's indebtedness including pursuant to the Credit Facility and the Convertible Debentures, or maintain its debt covenants.

If the Company's cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund its debt service obligations, or there is a contravention of its debt covenants, the Company could face substantial liquidity problems and could be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures or to dispose of material assets or operations, seek additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance its indebtedness. The Company may not be able to effect any such alternative measures, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, even if successful, those alternative actions may not allow it to meet its scheduled debt service obligations.

In addition, the Company conducts a substantial portion of its operations through its subsidiaries, certain of which in the future may not be guarantors of its indebtedness. Accordingly, repayment of its indebtedness is dependent on the generation of cash flow by its subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to the Company, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors of the Company's indebtedness, its subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on its indebtedness or to make funds available for that purpose. The Company's subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable the Company to make payments in respect of its indebtedness.

Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity, and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit the Company's ability to obtain cash from the Company's subsidiaries. In the event that the Company does not receive distributions from its subsidiaries, it may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, including pursuant to the Convertible Debentures. The Company's inability to generate sufficient cash flows to satisfy its debt obligations, or to refinance its indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms or at all, would materially and adversely affect its financial position and results of operations and its ability to satisfy its obligations.

The terms of the Credit Facility require the Company to satisfy various conditions precedent and affirmative and negative covenants and maintain certain financial ratios. Such covenants, among other things, impose an obligation on the Company to use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for certain purposes, restrict the Company's ability to incur further indebtedness (with enumerated exceptions), and

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 57 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

restrict the Company's ability to make acquisitions (subject to certain exceptions). Any failure to comply with such covenants may result in an event of default under the Credit Facility and allow the lenders to terminate the Credit Facility or declare any or all outstanding amounts to be due and payable, which could adversely affect the Company's business and financial condition.

***Currency Fluctuations***

Currency fluctuations may affect the Company's capital costs and the costs that the Company incurs at its operations. The revenue generated from the sale of gold from the Company's operations is in United States dollars, but a portion of the Company's operating and capital expenses are incurred in West African CFA Franc, Euro, Ethiopian Birr, Canadian dollar and Australian dollar. The appreciation of foreign currencies against the United States dollar would increase the costs of gold production at such mining operations, which could materially and adversely affect the Company's earnings and financial condition. Any appreciation of the Company's operational currencies against the United States dollar could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Write-downs and Impairments***

Mineral interests are the most significant assets of the Company and represent capitalized expenditures related to the development and construction of mining properties and related property, plant and equipment and the value assigned to exploration potential on acquisition. The costs associated with mining properties are separately allocated to exploration potential, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources and include acquired interests in production, development and exploration-stage properties representing the fair value at the time they were acquired. The values of such mineral properties are primarily driven by the nature and amount of material interests believed to be contained or potentially contained in properties to which they relate.

The Company reviews and evaluates its mining interests and any associated or allocated goodwill for impairment at least annually or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment is considered to exist if the recoverable value of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset. An impairment loss is measured and recorded to the net recoverable value of the asset. The recoverable value of the asset is the higher of: (i) value in use (being the net present value of total expected future cash flows); and (ii) fair value less costs of disposal.

The Company also assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount and considers the reversal of the impairment loss recognized in prior periods for all assets other than goodwill. An impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

Fair value is the value obtained from an active market or binding sale agreement. Where neither exists, fair value is based on the best information available to reflect the amount the Company could receive for the asset in an arm's length transaction. This is often estimated using discounted cash flow techniques. For value in use, recent cost levels are considered, together with expected changes in costs that are compatible with the current condition of the business and which meet the requirements of International Accounting Standard 36 in a discounted cash flow model. Where a recoverable amount is assessed using discounted cash flow techniques, the resulting estimates are based on detailed mine and/or production plans. Assumptions underlying fair value estimates are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Where third-party pricing services are used, the valuation techniques and assumptions used by the pricing services are reviewed by the Company to ensure compliance with the accounting policies and internal control over financial reporting of the Company. Future cash flows are estimated

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 58 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

based on expected future production, commodity prices, operating costs and capital costs. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources. Differences between management's assumptions and market conditions could have a material effect on the Company's financial position and results of operation in the future.

The assumptions used in the valuation of work-in-process inventories by the Company may include estimates of metal contained in the ore stacked on leach pads, assumptions of the amount of metal stacked that is expected to be recovered from the leach pads, estimates of metal contained in ore stock-piles, assumptions of the amount of metal that will be crushed for concentrate, estimates of metal-in-circuit, estimated costs of completion to final product to be incurred and an assumption of the gold, silver and copper price expected to be realized when the gold, silver and copper is recovered. The recoverable values of assets are highly dependent on several factors including metal prices and the prevailing cost environment, and the recoverable values of some properties are more sensitive to metal prices than others. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the Company could be required to write-down the recorded value of its work-in-process inventories to net realizable value, which would reduce the Company's earnings and working capital. Net realizable value is determined as the difference between costs to complete production into a saleable form and the estimated future precious metal prices based on prevailing and long-term metal prices. When the circumstances that previously caused inventories to be written down below cost no longer exist or when there is clear evidence of an increase in net realizable value because of changed economic circumstances, the amount of write-down is reversed up to the lower of the new net realizable value or the original cost.

Although management makes its best estimates, it is possible that material changes could occur which may adversely affect management's estimate of the net cash flows expected to be generated from its properties. Any impairment estimates, which are based on applicable key assumptions and sensitivity analysis, are based on management's best knowledge of the amounts, events or actions at such time, and the actual future outcomes may differ from any estimates that are provided by the Company. Any impairment charges on the Company's mineral projects could adversely affect its results of operations.

***Shareholder Activism***

In recent years, publicly-traded companies have been increasingly subject to demands from activist shareholders advocating for changes to corporate governance practices, such as executive compensation practices, social issues, or for certain corporate actions or reorganizations. There can be no assurances that activist shareholders won't publicly advocate for the Company to make certain corporate governance changes or engage in certain corporate actions. Responding to challenges from activist shareholders, such as proxy contests, media campaigns or other activities, could be costly and time consuming and could have an adverse effect on the Company reputation and divert the attention and resources of Company management and the Board, which could have an adverse effect on the Company's business and results of operations. Even if the Company does undertake such corporate governance changes or corporate actions, activist shareholders may continue to promote or attempt to effect further changes, and may attempt to acquire control of Allied to implement such changes. If shareholder activists seeking to increase short-term shareholder value are elected to the Board, this could adversely affect Allied's business and future operations. Additionally, shareholder activism could create uncertainty about the Company's future strategic direction, resulting in loss of future business opportunities, which could adversely affect the Company's business, future operations, profitability and ability to attract and retain qualified personnel.

***Litigation Risks***

All industries, including the mining industry, are subject to legal claims, with and without merit. The Company is currently involved in litigation and may become involved in legal disputes in the future,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 59 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

including class actions. The causes of potential future litigation or investigation cannot necessarily be known or anticipated and may arise from, among other things, business activities; employment and labour matters; environmental, health and safety laws and regulations; tax matters; volatility in Allied's share price; and compliance with applicable securities laws and regulations. Defense and settlement costs can be substantial, even with respect to claims that have no merit. Due to the inherent uncertainty of the litigation process, the resolution of any particular legal proceeding may have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. See "*Legal Proceedings and Regulatory Actions*".

***Investment Risk***

Investment risk is the risk that a financial instrument's value will deviate from the expected returns as a result of changes in market conditions, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual investment or factors affecting all investments traded in the market. Although the factors that affect investment risk are outside the Company's control, the Company mitigates investment risk by limiting its investment exposure in terms of total funds to be invested and by being selective of high-quality investments.

***Use of Derivatives***

From time to time the Company may use certain derivative products as hedging instruments and to manage the risks associated with changes in gold prices, interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and energy prices. The use of derivative instruments involves certain inherent risks including, among other things: (i) credit risk – the risk of default on amounts owing to the Company by the counterparties with which the Company has entered into transactions; (ii) market liquidity risk – the risk that the Company has entered into a derivative position that cannot be closed out quickly, by either liquidating such derivative instrument or by establishing an offsetting position; and (iii) unrealized mark-to-market risk – the risk that, in respect of certain derivative products, an adverse change in market prices for commodities, currencies or interest rates will result in the Company incurring an unrealized mark-to-market loss in respect of such derivative products.

***Taxes***

The introduction of new tax laws, regulations or rules, or changes to, or differing interpretation of, or application of, or court decisions in respect of, existing tax laws, regulations or rules in Mali, Ethiopia or Côte d'Ivoire, or to which deliveries of gold are made, could result in an increase in the Company's taxes, or other governmental charges, duties or impositions. Further, the Company is subject to routine tax audits by various tax authorities. Tax audits may result in additional tax, interest payments and penalties which would negatively affect the Company's financial condition and operating results. If the Company's filing position, application of tax incentives or similar 'holidays' or benefits were to be challenged for whatever reason, this could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition. No assurance can be given that new tax laws, regulations or rules will not be enacted or that existing tax laws, regulations or rules will not be changed, interpreted, applied or decided upon in a manner which could result in the Company's profits being subject to additional taxation or which could otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Company or the price of the Common Shares.

***Non-Governmental Organizations***

Certain non-governmental organizations ("**NGOs**") that oppose globalization and resource development are vocal critics of the mining industry and its practices. Adverse publicity generated by such NGOs or other parties generally related to extractive industries or specifically to the Company's

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 60 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

operations, could have an adverse effect on the Company's reputation, impact the Company's relationship with the communities in which it operates and ultimately have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

NGOs may organize protests, install road blockades, apply for injunctions for work stoppage, file lawsuits for damages and intervene and participate in lawsuits seeking to cancel the Company's rights, permits and licences. NGOs may also lobby governments for changes to laws, regulations and policies pertaining to mining and relevant to the Company's business activities, which, if made, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

***Labour and Employment Matters***

Production at the Company's mining operations is dependent upon the efforts of its employees and the Company's operations would be adversely affected if it fails to maintain satisfactory labour relations. Most of the Company's employees are represented by labour unions under various collective labour agreements. The Company may not be able to satisfactorily renegotiate its collective labour agreements, including in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia, and may face tougher negotiations or higher wage demands than would be the case for non-unionized labour, which could negatively impact the Company's operations and profitability. In addition, existing labour agreements may not prevent a strike or work stoppage at Allied's facilities in the future.

In addition, relations between the Company and its employees may be affected by changes in labour relations laws that may be introduced by the relevant governmental authorities in whose jurisdictions the Company carries on business. Changes in such legislation or in the relationship between the Company and its employees may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Contractors***

As is common industry practice, certain aspects of our operations, such as mining that includes drilling, blasting, loading, hauling and security are conducted by outside contractors and as a result, the Company is subject to a number of risks associated with the use of such contractors, including reduced control over the aspects of the operations that are the responsibility of a contractor, failure of a contractor to perform under its agreement, our inability to replace the contractor if either the Company or the contractor terminate the service agreement, interruption of operations in the event the contractor ceases operations as a result of a contractual dispute with us or as a result of liquidity constraints, insolvency or other unforeseen events, failure of the contractor to comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements, and failure of the contractor to properly manage its workforce resulting in labour unrest, strikes or other employment issues, and tax issues related to the arrangement of contracts, any of which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations. The Company is also subject to risks associated with contractor misconduct, which could have negative impacts on the communities in which we operate and could lead to community issues, enforcement actions, legal claims or could have a negative impact on our reputation. Available contractors in Mali, Ethiopia and Côte d'Ivoire are drawn from a narrow pool of entities with the requisite experience, sophistication and skill, and our ability to manage the risk of overreliance on one or more contractors may be limited by the availability of credible or sufficiently attractive alternatives (including that such contractors are available upon commercially acceptable terms).

Although the Company always seeks to retain contractors we regard as reputable and competent for the scope of work required, and we seek to reduce our risk by negotiating contracts that apportion risk and liability appropriately, the Company cannot exclude the risk that those contractors may breach their contracts with us (or predecessor companies), or that contractors may be negligent or otherwise deficient

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 61 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

in performing the services for which they were contracted. This may result in financial liability or penalties and we may be unable to recover from those contractors or may be unable to remediate errors made by contractors which are necessary for the optimal performance of our assets. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

***Foreign Subsidiaries***

The Company is a holding company that conducts its operations exclusively through foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, any limitation on the transfer of cash or other assets between the parent corporation and such entities, or among such entities, could restrict the Company's ability to fund its operations efficiently. Any such limitations, or the perception that such limitations may exist now or in the future, could have an adverse impact on the Company's valuation and share price.

***Community Relations***

The Company's relationships with host communities are critical to ensure the success of its existing operations and the construction and development of new operations. There is an increasing level of public concern relating to the perceived effects of mining activities on the environment and on host communities. The evolving expectations related to human rights, indigenous rights, and environmental protection may result in opposition to the Company's current and future operations or further development or new development of the Company's projects and mines. Such opposition may be directed through legal or administrative proceedings or expressed in public opposition such as protests, roadblocks or other forms of expression against the Company's activities, and may have a negative impact on the Company's reputation and operations.

Opposition by any of the aforementioned groups to the Company's operations may require modification of, or preclude the operation or development of, the Company's projects and mines or may require the Company to enter into agreements with such groups or local governments with respect to the Company's projects and mines, in some cases, causing increased cost and considerable delays to the advancement of the Company's projects. Further, publicity adverse to the Company, its operations or extractive industries generally, could have an adverse effect on the Company and may impact relationships with the communities in which Allied operates and other stakeholders. While the Company is committed to operating in a socially responsible manner, there can be no assurance that its efforts in this respect will mitigate this potential risk.

Further, the Company's ability to operate could be adversely impacted by accidents or events detrimental (or perceived to be detrimental) to the health, safety and well-being of the Company's employees, human rights, the environment or the communities in which the Company operates.

***Reliance on Local Advisors and Consultants in Foreign Jurisdictions***

The Company holds mining and exploration properties in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia. The legal and regulatory requirements in these countries with respect to conducting mineral exploration and mining activities, banking system and controls, as well as local business culture and practices are often different from those in Canada. The officers and directors of the Company must rely, to a great extent, on the Company's local legal counsel and local consultants retained by the Company in order to keep abreast of material legal, regulatory and governmental developments as they pertain to and affect the Company's business operations, and to assist the Company with its governmental relations. The Company must rely, to some extent, on those members of management and the Company's board of directors who have previous experience working and conducting business in these countries to enhance its understanding of and appreciation for the local business culture and practices. The Company also relies on the advice of local experts and professionals in connection with current and new regulations that

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 62 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

develop in respect of banking, financing, labour, litigation and tax matters in these countries. Any developments or changes in such legal, regulatory or governmental requirements or in local business practices are beyond the control of the Company. The impact of any such changes may adversely affect the business of the Company.

***Market Price of Common Shares***

The market price of the Common Shares may be highly volatile and could be subject to wide ﬂuctuations in response to a number of factors, including: (i) dilution caused by issuance of additional Common Shares and other forms of equity securities, which Allied expects to make in connection with future ﬁnancings to fund operations and growth, to attract and retain qualiﬁed personnel and in connection with future strategic partnerships with other companies, (ii) announcements of new acquisitions, mineral reserve discoveries or other business initiatives by competitors, (iii) ﬂuctuations in revenue from operations as new mineral reserves come to market, (iv) changes in the market for gold and/or in the capital markets generally, (v) changes in the demand for minerals and metals; and (vi) changes in the social, political and/or legal climate in the regions in which Allied operates. In addition, the market price of Common Shares could be subject to wide ﬂuctuations in response to: (a) quarterly variations in operating expenses, (b) changes in the valuation of similarly situated companies, both in the mining industry and in other industries, (c) changes in analysts' estimates affecting Allied, competitors and/or the industry, (d) changes in the accounting methods used in or otherwise affecting the industry, (e) additions and departures of key personnel, (f) ﬂuctuations in interest rates, exchange rates and the availability of capital in the capital markets, and (g) signiﬁcant sales of Common Shares, including sales by future investors in future offerings which may be made to raise additional capital.

These and other factors will be largely beyond Allied's control, and the impact of these risks, singularly or in the aggregate, may result in material adverse changes to the market price of Common Shares, which at any given point in time may not accurately reflect Allied's long-term value.

***Uncertainty Relating to Financial Projections***

Any of Allied's financial estimates, projections and other forward-looking information or statements included herein were prepared by Allied, and such forward-looking information or statements are based on assumptions of future events that may or may not occur, which assumptions may not be disclosed herein. Projections are inherently subject to varying degrees of uncertainty and their achievability depends on the timing and probability of a complex series of future events. There is no assurance that the assumptions upon which these projections are based will be realized. Actual results may differ materially from projected results for a number of reasons including, without limitation, increases in operational expenses, changes in regulatory rules, undiscovered and unanticipated adverse industry and economic conditions, and unanticipated competition. Accordingly, any material differences between the projections set out herein and the actual results of Allied's business could have a material impact on Allied and its business.

***Global Financial Conditions***

Global financial conditions continue to be characterized as volatile. In recent years, global markets have been adversely impacted by various supply chain disruptions, credit crises and inflation, causing rising fuel and energy costs and impacting metals prices, including due to the significant fluctuations in commodity prices as a result of the military conflict between Ukraine and Russia and the economic sanctions imposed on Russia in connection therewith, the U.S. government intervention in Venezuela, the continuance or escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, including the United States and Israeli strikes on Iran, as well as the imposition and additional threats of tariffs by the United States. Many industries, including the mining industry, have been impacted by these market conditions.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 63 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Moreover, the Middle East and Venezuela are important contributors to global oil supplies and any instability in the region, such as the Israel-Hamas conflict that commenced in October 2023 and the recent U.S. government intervention in Venezuela in January 2026, can cause price hikes due to anticipated supply disruptions, which can in turn affect global trade balances and inflation rates. Specifically, supply chain disruptions resulting from any conflict in the Middle East and Venezuela may have an exacerbated effect on shipping costs, transit times and delays in delivering products or procuring supplies in Africa due to its proximity to the region. Global financial conditions remain subject to sudden and rapid destabilizations in response to future events, as government authorities may have limited resources to respond to future crises. A continued or worsened slowdown in the financial markets or other economic conditions, including but not limited to consumer spending, employment rates, business conditions, inflation, fuel and energy costs, consumer debt levels, lack of available credit, the state of the financial markets, interest rates and tax rates, may adversely affect the Company's growth and profitability. Future crises may be precipitated by any number of causes, including natural disasters, geopolitical instability (such as the Russian-Ukraine war, the conflict in the Middle East or the U.S. government intervention in Venezuela), and changes to energy prices or sovereign defaults. If increased levels of volatility continue or in the event of a rapid destabilization of global economic conditions and disruptions in supply chains, there may be a material adverse effect on commodity prices, demand for metals, including gold, availability of credit, investor confidence, and general financial market liquidity, all of which may adversely affect the Company's business and the market price of the Company's securities.

***Force Majeure***

The performance of the Company's investments may be affected by reason of events such as war, civil war, riot or armed conflict, terrorism, acts of sabotage and natural disasters such as storms, earthquakes, tidal waves, floods, lightning, explosions, fires and destruction of plant, machinery and/or premises, which are outside its control. If a force majeure event occurs and continues or is likely to continue to affect the ability of the Company to operate its business for a long period of time, this may have a material adverse effect on the performance of the Company and its net asset value, earnings and returns to shareholders.

***Dividends***

Allied has developed a dividend philosophy that will provide shareholders with cash returns in the form of a dividend based on free cash flow as free cash flows increase which is expected following expenditure of development capital in support of growth. In the immediate period of growth over the next few years, Allied anticipates that cash flow along with proceeds from any financings will be re-invested in the development and growth of the business, with dividends anticipated to be paid following this growth period.

***Dilution to Common Shares***

Allied has and may in the future grant rights to acquire Common Shares in the form of options, warrants, convertible debt instruments (including the Convertible Debentures) or otherwise. During the term of such rights, holders are given an opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the Common Shares with a resulting dilution in the interest of the other shareholders. The Company's ability to obtain additional financing during the period that such rights are outstanding may be adversely affected, and the existence of the rights may have an adverse effect on the price of the Common Shares. The holders of options and other rights of the Company may exercise such securities at a time when the Company would, in all likelihood, be able to obtain any needed capital by a new offering of securities on terms more favourable than those provided by the outstanding rights.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 64 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

In addition, Allied may raise additional funds through the issue of its Common Shares, debt instruments and/or securities convertible into Common Shares in order to finance future operations and development activities. The size of future issues of Common Shares, debt instruments and/or securities convertible into Common Shares or the effect, if any, that future issues and sales of Allied's securities will have on the share price cannot be predicted.

The increase in the number of Common Shares in the market and the possibility of sales of such shares may cause a reduction in the price of the Common Shares. In addition, as a result of the issuance of additional Common Shares, the voting power of the Company's existing shareholders will be diluted.

***Future Sales of Common Shares by Existing Shareholders***

Sales of a large number of Common Shares in the public markets, or the potential for such sales, could decrease the trading price of the Common Shares and could impair the Company's ability to raise capital through future sales of Common Shares. Substantially all of the Common Shares not held by affiliates of the Company can be resold without material restriction in Canada.

***Dependence Upon Key Management Personnel and Executives***

The Company is dependent upon a number of key management personnel and has entered into employment agreements with certain of its key executives. The loss of the services of one or more of such key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company's ability to manage its operating, development, exploration and financing activities depend in large part on the efforts of these individuals. The Company faces intense competition for qualified personnel, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such personnel. The loss of the services of one or more key employees or the failure to and attract and retain new personnel could have a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to manage and expand its business.

***Possible Conflicts of Interest of Directors and Officers of the Company***

Certain of the directors and officers of the Company also serve as directors and/or officers of other companies involved in natural resource exploration and development and, consequently, there exists the possibility for such directors and officers to be in a position of conflict. There can be no assurance that any decision made by any of such directors and officers involving the Company will be made in accordance with their duties and obligations to deal fairly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. In the event that the Company's directors and officers are subject to conflicts of interest, there may be a material adverse effect on its business.

***Disclosure and Internal Controls***

Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports filed with securities regulatory agencies is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required decisions. The Company has invested resources to document and analyze its system of disclosure controls and its internal control over financial reporting. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and financial statement preparation. The Company's failure to satisfy the requirements of applicable Canadian securities laws on an ongoing, timely basis could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of its financial statements,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 65 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

which in turn could harm its business and negatively impact the trading price of the Common Shares. In addition, any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation, could harm the Company's operating results or cause it to fail to meet its reporting obligations.

***ESG Disclosure***

Compliance with gold industry standards and reporting against multiple sustainability and ESG indices could result in significant costs. Additionally, the increasing demand for disclosure on performance with regards to ESG and the many disclosure formats and indices being demanded, may result in significant costs to ensure and demonstrate compliance (particularly where standards change rapidly or duplication in reporting is required).

***Failures of Information Systems or Cybersecurity Threats***

The Company has entered into agreements with third parties for hardware, software, telecommunications and other information technology ("IT") services in connection with the Company's operations. The Company's operations depend, in part, on how well the Company and its suppliers protect networks, equipment, IT systems and software against damage from a number of threats, including, but not limited to, cable cuts, damage to physical plants, natural disasters, terrorism, fire, power loss, hacking, computer viruses, vandalism and theft. The Company's operations also depend on the timely maintenance, upgrade and replacement of networks, equipment, IT systems and software, as well as pre-emptive expenditures to mitigate the risks of failures. Any of these and other events could result in information system failures, delays and/or increase in capital expenses. The failure of information systems or a component of information systems could, depending on the nature of any such failure, adversely impact the Company's reputation and results of operations.

Although to date the Company has not experienced any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, there can be no assurance that it will not incur such losses in the future. The Company's risk and exposure to these matters cannot be fully mitigated because of, among other things, the evolving nature of these threats. As a result, cybersecurity and the continued development and enhancement of controls, processes and practices designed to protect systems, computers, software, data and networks from attack, damage or unauthorized access remain a priority. As cybersecurity threats continue to evolve, the Company may be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance protective measures or to investigate and remediate any security vulnerabilities. Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

See "*Interests of Experts*".

Portions of the following information are based on assumptions, qualifications and procedures which are not fully described herein. Reference should be made to the full text of the Sadiola Report, which has been filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities pursuant to NI 43-101 and is available for review under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

<u>Property Description, Location and Access</u>

The Sadiola Mine is an operating open-pit gold mine with a processing plant historically operated at approximately 5.0 Mt/y and increased to 5.7 Mt/y following completion of the Phase 1 expansion in late 2025, together with associated tailings and waste storage facilities and supporting infrastructure including administration and accommodation facilities, workshops, warehouses and storage facilities, and established sources of power, water and personnel.

The Sadiola Mine is 77 km south of the regional city of Kayes and about 440 km northwest of the capital city of Bamako. Sadiola is accessed via sealed road for 500 km from Bamako to Kayes and then 80 km along a single carriageway, sealed road. The Sadiola Mine can be accessed via the port of Dakar in Senegal by either rail or road to Kayes. A compacted laterite airstrip is operated for bullion dispatch and employee transport using light aircraft to and from Bamako. The majority of personnel are sourced from the local community with senior and expatriate staff flying in and out of Bamako.

The Sadiola Mine is within the Sudanese-type climatic zone, with an intense wet season from May to October and dry season from November to April. Approximately 90% of rainfall occurs between the months of June and September. Sadiola operates year-round with limited disruption to open pit operations during short-term, high rainfall events. Average monthly temperatures are consistently above 25°C; however, there is significant variation, with peaks of 45°C recorded on site. In the dry season,

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 69 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

north-easterly trade winds blow from the Sahara Desert over West Africa, resulting in dry weather conditions and dusty winds referred to as Harmattan winds. In the wet season, the prevailing wind direction is from the south and southwest, referred to as monsoon winds.

The Mining Code is the governing legislation for Mali's minerals and mining sector. The exploration and exploitation of minerals in Mali is subject to the Mining Code by decree.

Sadiola's operating company, SEMOS, acquired the Sadiola Exploitation Permit in December 1994. Allied took control of SEMOS on January 1, 2021 by purchasing the collective 80% interest in SEMOS held by AngloGold Ashanti Limited ("**AGA**") and IAMGOLD Corporation ("**IMG**") pursuant to a share purchase agreement dated December 18, 2020. The Government of Mali holds a 20% stake in SEMOS.

The surface rights have been purchased and are sufficient for most of the proposed development

SEMOS' economic framework is governed by the provisions of the 2023 Mining Code through to 2034. The general framework considers a corporate income tax rate of 25% on net profits for the first 3 years after first commercial production and 30% income tax rate on net profits thereafter. The framework also considers a government royalty of approximately 9.0% of the net revenue, considering the gold prices used to determine the Mineral Reserves. The royalty is comprised of the ISCP special tax and an ad valorem tax which is the component that varies with gold prices. In addition to this, Allied has committed to a contributing to the social development and other mining funds in Mali which amount to approximately 2.25% of the net revenue.

SEMOS' current Exploitation Permit is valid until July 31, 2034.

Pursuant to legacy agreements with the previous owners (AGEM Ltd (a subsidiary of IMG) and AGA):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $1.0 million is payable to IFC, upon approval of the Sadiola Expansion Project; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• $24.9 million is payable to the previous owners upon production from the new process plant at each milestone of 250 koz and 500 koz.

The following risks may affect SEMOS' right or ability to perform work on the Sadiola Mine:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• civil unrest in the country and local community which may lead to critical supply chain interruptions. The risk is considered mitigated with six weeks' storage of supplies on site; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• risk of a terrorist attack in Bamako**,** the capital city of Mali and the location of the international airport. An additional charter flight has been implemented to reduce the time spent in Bamako by employees. Increased security presence and precautions have been implemented at Bamako and at site.

<u>History</u>

The Sadiola Mine poured its first gold on December 20, 1996 and since start-up, the mine has produced more than 9 Moz of gold. Mining was suspended in April 2018 and the process plant continued to treat low-grade stockpiles up until Q2 2021. Allied restarted mining in 2021 and the process plant historically operated at approximately 5.0 Mt/y and recently expanded to 5.7 Mt/y, treats oxide, transitional

Allied's mine plan at Sadiola includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• utilization of the existing process plant, historically operated at approximately 5.0 Mt/y to treat oxide and transitional material, including replacement of the oxygen plant in 2023;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• expansion of the process plant to approximately 5.7 Mt/y, completed in late 2025, enabling processing of up to 60% fresh rock, through upgrades to the crushing and grinding circuits in one of the plant lines and other plant modifications;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• installing a new process plant and upgrading some infrastructure to treat up to 10 Mt/y of harder fresh and oxide ore; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a 16-year life of mine plan based on the Mineral Reserves.

<u>Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types</u>

The reported Mineral Resource inventory at Sadiola is distributed across five mining areas, with the Sadiola Mining Area accounting for approximately 88% of the total inventory. The remaining inventory is hosted within the Tambali, FE2N, FE3, FE4, Sekekoto West, and Diba satellite deposits. These deposits are geologically comparable to Sadiola Main, sharing similar lithological and structural controls, and their reduced contribution to the current Mineral Resource inventory reflects the historical focus on, and depletion of, oxide and supergene material.

<u>Sadiola Mining Area</u>

The Sadiola mining area, comprising the Sadiola Main pit and the Far North deposits (FNA, FN3, FNBC, Sirimana East and West), represents the principal contributor to the reported Mineral Resource inventory. Mineralization is developed along the Sadiola trend over an approximate 2.5 km drilled strike length and remains open to the north, south, and at depth.

Gold mineralization is structurally controlled by the northerly–trending Sadiola Shear Zone (SSZ) and north-northeast-trending secondary structures, which marks the contact between siliciclastic and arenitic units to the west and impure carbonate units to the east with contributions from northeast-trending cross-structures, often aligned along felsic to intermediate composition intrusions. Near surface, mineralization formed a broad envelope of up to 200 m in width within the oxide zone and has been mined to depths of approximately 200–220 m below surface. At depth, the mineralized zone narrows to generally less than 50 m but remains continuous to at least 600 m below surface and is open at depth.

Mineralization is focused within a structurally complex shear corridor, typically 10 to 50 m thick, comprising interconnected shears and fractures, with subsidiary, generally northeast-trending, mineralized

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 72 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

splays extending into the carbonate sequence. The scale, continuity, and depth persistence of mineralization define the primary domaining framework for the reported Mineral Resource inventory.

<u>Satellite Mining Areas</u>

The Tambali, FE2.5, FE3, FE4, Sekekoto West, and Diba deposits comprise satellite mining areas that share the same fundamental geological controls as Sadiola Main. Mineralization is spatially associated with contacts between siliciclastic and carbonate units and is structurally controlled by intersecting shear zones, thrusts, and locally intense folding. Of the deposits, Diba is the only one entirely hosted by calcareous siliciclastic rocks. These deposits were developed primarily as oxide and supergene targets, with mineralization occurring near surface within structurally controlled zones adjacent to the carbonate–siliciclastic contacts. In all cases, mineralization extends along plunge to depth into fresh rock and remains open.

Tambali is hosted predominantly within siliciclastic units, felsic to intermediate intrusions and controlled by steeply dipping northwest- to northeast-trending shear zones. Mineralization at the Tambali Zone is open to the north, northeast and to depth.

The FE group of deposits developed along several, laterally extensive carbonate–metasiliciclastic contacts, where thrusting, shearing, intersecting northeast-trending and folding generate locally complex geometries.

Sekekoto West is dominated by near-surface laterite, supergene, and saprolitic mineralization along steep northerly-, northeasterly- and northwest-trending shear structures. Diba is characterized by stratigraphically controlled, shallow east-dipping mineralized lenses within calcareous sedimentary units, with the remnant Mineral Resource largely hosted in fresh material.

The distribution of Mineral Resources across the satellite deposits reflects material type and mining history rather than differences in geological fertility. The historical focus on oxide and supergene material, the presence of less well-developed structures together with limited down-dip and down-plunge testing of fresh mineralization relative to Sadiola Main, explains, in part, their reduced contribution to the current Mineral Resource inventory.

<u>Exploration</u>

The geology of Sadiola comprises a predominantly sedimentary sequence that has a well-developed laterite regolith of several metres in thickness developed across the Sadiola Mine, such that early detailed surficial field mapping and structural data collection has been variably successful. Reliance has been placed on remote and ground geophysical data acquisition as well as extensive geochemical sample collection programs.

Geochemical tools used effectively in the past have comprised soil sampling, termite mound sampling and locally shallow auger traverses. Airborne magnetics and radiometric, electromagnetic and ground gravity were acquired over the entire Property area. Gradient and pole-dipole induced polarization ("**IP**") (both as discrete small area grids) were conducted over most known mineralized trends to characterize the mineralization already identified, but this has yet to be extended to new target areas.

Since 2021, Allied has focused its exploration activities close to the existing pits with the aim to improve the orebody characterization for the Sadiola Expansion Project as well as to increase the inventory of oxide- and transitional-facies Mineral Reserves to provide additional feed to the mill. Allied's current near mine exploration targets are focused on identifying additional oxide and transition zone

mineralization at Sekekoto, Sadiola Main Stage 6 extension, FE2.5, FE2N, FE1, TK1, FE4, S12 and fresh rock targets in Tambali South and Sadiola Main.

<u>Drilling</u>

Over 52,470 m of diamond core drilling (DD) and 156,556 m of reverse circulation drilling (RC) have been undertaken by various drilling companies, including grade control drilling and 6,440 m of Reverse Circulation with Diamond Tail (RCD). A total of 3,055 drillholes for 302,439 m have been drilled by Allied since January 2021.

DD used the conventional wireline method with PQ (85 mm), HQ (63.5 mm) and NQ (47.6 mm) dual and triple-tube core barrels. RC used 115 mm dual-tube drill rods. Allied's DD holes were drilled with a PQ collar, and once in competent rock, continued in HQ to the end of hole. The holes were inclined predominantly between -50° and -70° and the depths of the DD holes ranged from 24 m to 620 m. Occasionally short re-drills were needed to remedy core loss near surface.

Core recovered was placed in core trays, with the depth interval marked on core blocks at the end of each run as determined by the driller counting the number of drill rods used in the hole as a guide, and an orientation line drawn from the oriented core survey marks.

Geological logging incorporated weathering facies, lithology, structure, alteration mineral species, frequency of veining and its make-up with the orientation of all fabric facilitated by using oriented core. These data provide adequate information to be considered fit for the purpose of Mineral Resource estimation.

<u>Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification</u> 

The RC chip samples were collected from the drill rig cyclone every metre for the entire length of each hole. The chip samples were split into representative portions using a 75:25 riffle splitter and placed into consecutively numbered sample bags for dispatch to the assay laboratory. Standards, blanks and duplicates were inserted into the sample number sequence at 1:20 (4 quality control quality assurance samples and 16 regular samples within 20 samples) in the required intervals. Sieved reference rock chip samples were collected in chip trays for logging; these were photographed, and the trays retained in the core shed facility.

After logging, the diamond core was photographed whole on a tray-by-tray basis with the metre marks, orientation line and cut line visible. Once photographed, the core was cut in half along the marked cut line (displaced from but parallel to the orientation line) using a diamond saw. Samples for analysis were collected consistently from the same half of the core and placed into consecutively numbered sample bags.

Analytical facilities used by AGA included the SEMOS onsite laboratory, as well as independent laboratories SGS Bamako, SGS Kayes and SGS Booysens. Since Allied's involvement in 2021, the SEMOS onsite laboratory has been maintained for grade control, while exploration samples are analyzed at the external MSA and Bureau Veritas laboratories in Bamako, using photon assay and fire assay methods respectively. Occasionally, samples are processed by the on-site lab on a dedicated sample stream to prevent contamination from mine grade control samples.

Allied has undertaken one physical audit of the SEMOS onsite laboratory this year using Allied's consulting QAQC Manager. The independent reviewer expressed their satisfaction with the practiced approach to sample preparation and proficiency with fire assay protocols.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 74 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Allied has maintained quality assurance/quality control ("**QA/QC**") management of samples received from Bureau Veritas, MSA and SEMOS laboratories. Database managers review all assays as they arrive from the laboratories to judge their suitability for addition to the database. After the initial validation, assay certificates are imported into the database using Fusion software. Each month, assays received are summarized in a monthly QA/QC report generated by the QA/QC Manager. Assay samples are quarantined until fully vetted for QA/QC.

The original DataShed database used previously by Allied has been migrated to a Fusion database for Allied's Mineral Resource estimation.

<u>Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing</u>

The 2015 to 2022 production data was used to forecast metallurgical performance in the existing CIP gold process plant. Metallurgical test work on primary ore was conducted between 2002 and 2010 by the previous owners and an additional program was implemented during 2022.

The 2022 program was conducted at ALS Metallurgy in Perth (managed by DRA and MineScope) and consisted of eight master composites and 131 variability composites from 31 DD holes covering oxide (saprolite), transition (greywacke) and primary mineralization (calcite marble, shear, greywacke, diorite).

The metallurgical test work included mineralogy, grind size selection, comminution tests and leach tests including whole-of-ore leaching tests (without gravity recovery option), ball mill grinding work index tests, flotation tests, thickening and rheology tests, tailings detoxification and evaluation of the metallurgical variation in different ore types. Test work indicated that a conventional grinding and leaching process plant design was appropriate to treat the primary mineralization achieving metallurgical recoveries of approximately 75% in average.

The 2022 test work also showed that the presence of some sulphide bearing minerals had a significant impact on the gold recovery for the fraction of gold not amenable to conventional leaching, with mineralogy studies confirming that about 25% of the total gold remains locked mainly in arsenopyrite and pyrite. A geometallurgical model is being developed to increase the understanding of the distribution of these minerals in the orebody and test work is progressing aimed at increasing recovery for the portion of gold not recoverable by the conventional leaching circuits.

<u>Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates</u>

*Mineral Resources* 

The Mineral Resource estimates presented herein are based on block models completed in December 2025, incorporating drilling data available up to October 31, 2025. The estimates were prepared by Mr. Alejandro Garrone, MAusIMM (CP), a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101.

Mineral Resources have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted to Mineral Reserves.

The Mineral Resource estimate for the Sadiola Mine comprises seven areas: Sadiola Main, Tambali, Sekekoto West, Farabakouta East (FE2.5, FE3, and FE4), and Diba. Sadiola Main accounts for the majority of the Mineral Resource inventory and therefore forms the basis for the estimation methodology described below. Estimation parameters applied to the satellite deposits are consistent with Sadiola Main, with minor local adjustments where required to reflect geological conditions and data support.

Geological modelling was completed using Leapfrog Geo (version 2024.3.1). Datamine Studio RM (version 2.2.304.0) was used for data preparation, block modelling, grade estimation, validation, and reporting. Geostatistical analyses and variography were carried out using the GSLib software suite. Optimized open-pit shells used to constrain Mineral Resources and demonstrate reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction were generated using GEOVIA Whittle.

Mineral Resources were estimated using a geostatistical block-modelling approach informed by gold assay data collected from diamond drill holes (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed for both exploration and production purposes. Drilling data were compiled and verified prior to estimation, and three-dimensional models of lithology, structure, weathering, and mineralization were constructed to define mineralization domains.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 76 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Assay data were composited to 4 m lengths within mineralization domains. Unsampled intervals were reviewed, with invalid or non-geological holes excluded and remaining gaps assigned zero grade. Domain-specific outlier analysis was undertaken using statistical and graphical methods, including probability plots and sensitivity analysis, and top-cuts were applied where required. The application of top-cuts resulted in an average reduction in mean grade of approximately 3%.

A three-dimensional block model was constructed using a parent block size of 10 m × 10 m × 10 m, with sub-celling to a minimum of 1 m in all directions to honour geological boundaries and mineralization geometry. Lithology and weathering were coded at sub-cell resolution, and block volumes were validated against corresponding wireframe volumes to confirm correct domain coding.

Mineralization domains were grouped for variographic analysis based on geometry, orientation, geological setting, and data support. Correlograms were modelled on representative domain populations and applied to associated domains with similar geological characteristics, with variogram orientations adjusted to reflect domain-specific geometry. Gold grades were estimated using Ordinary Kriging into parent blocks through a three-pass estimation strategy. Each domain was estimated independently, with progressively relaxed data requirements in successive passes to accommodate variable drilling density. Search parameters and anisotropy were informed by variogram models and aligned with geological controls, with average search ranges of approximately 100 m × 50 m × 30 m.

Bulk density values were assigned by lithology and weathering type based on historical measurements. The block models were validated through visual comparison of estimated grades against informing composites on plans, sections, and three-dimensional views, as well as statistical comparison of estimated block grades to capped composite populations, demonstrating good agreement.

Mineral Resources were constrained by a topographic surface generated from end-of-mining surveys for inactive pits and December 2025 end-of-month surveys for active mining areas. Mineral Resource classification was based on geological confidence, drilling density, and geostatistical support, and is linked to estimation pass and variogram ranges. Measured Resources are estimated in the first pass, primarily supported by production drilling at approximately 10 m × 5 m spacing. Indicated Resources are estimated in the second pass with a minimum of four drill holes within variogram ranges, typically representing spacing of approximately 60 m × 30 m or better. Inferred Resources are estimated in the third pass with a minimum of three drill holes within variogram ranges, typically representing spacing of approximately 100 m × 50 m or better. Isolated blocks were reviewed and excluded from pit optimization and reporting.

Mineral Resources are reported within an optimized open-pit shell generated using site-specific technical and economic assumptions consistent with Mineral Reserve reporting and a gold price of US$2,300 per ounce.

See "*Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates"*.

*Mineral Reserves*

The Mineral Reserves estimates presented herein are based on block models completed in December 2025, incorporating drilling data available up to October 31, 2025. Economic parameters were provided by Allied Gold Corp., including the gold price, refining, and royalties. Operating costs were based on the current mining contract, the 2024 feasibility study, and the 2025 budget. Metallurgical recoveries were obtained from site and the 2024 FS study tests.

The estimates were prepared by Mr. Esteban Chacon Meynard, Chilean Accreditation Commission for Competences in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as a qualified person within

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 77 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

the meaning of NI 43-101, in accordance with CIM Standards and the Committee for Mineral Reserves International Reporting Standards (the "**CRIRSCO Standards**").

Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101.

The Mineral Reserve reflects the portion of the Mineral Resource which can be economically extracted by open pit methods, and considers the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the project. The Proven Mineral Reserve estimate is the economically mineable portion of the Measured Mineral Resource. The Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable portion of the Indicated Mineral Resource.

For reserves evaluation, Maptek Vulcan and Dassault Systems Whittle mining software were used. Dilution was applied using different methods for different pits considering the configuration of the mineralization. For Sadiola Main, Tambali, and FE2.5, reblocked models were generated with dimensions of 5.0 x 5.0 x 3.33 m, 5.0 x 10.0 x 3.33 m, and 2.5 x 2.5 x 5.0 m, respectively. No additional dilution factor was applied. For Sekekoto West and Korali Sud, dilution was applied based on a minimum mining width according to mining parameters and then applying 1.0 meter of dilution allowance to the hanging wall and footwall of each of the mineralized lodes. Mineable volumes based on this selective mining unit were created using Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), then used to generate a diluted sub-celled MSO model. Pit optimization, using either the reblocked or the MSO model for each area, was carried out using a base gold price of $2,000/oz. A revenue factor of 1.0 was used for the final pit design for all oxide zones, including Sadiola North and satellite pits. A revenue factor 0.85 was used for the final pit design in Sadiola Main sulfide pit. Mineral Reserves were reported using cut-off grades informed by a $2,000/oz gold price and vary from 0.26 to 0.76 g/t gold for different ore types due to differences in recoveries, costs for ore processing, and ore haulage.

Allied is not aware of any metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, and other relevant issues that could impact the Mineral Resource estimate or the Mineral Reserve estimation at Sadiola. Please also refer to *"Description of the Business – Risk Factors – Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources".*

See "*Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates*".

<u>Mining Operations</u>

Mining of the Sadiola Main, Tambali, and Sekekoto Mineral Reserves will be carried out by mechanised open pit extraction methods until 2041, after which low-grade stockpiles will be treated until 2042. Mining will use 300 t class excavators and 90 t class haul equipment for mining of oxide, transition and fresh ore and the continued mining of primary ore. Studies show that there is no material upside benefit realized by using increased capacity mechanised equipment.

The existing mining contractor has three fleets of Caterpillar 6015 excavators and Caterpillar 777 trucks. Additional mining equipment fleet will be required over the LOM including five additional excavators and 32 trucks.

Material aspects of mine planning and mine design are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mining will occur in existing pits for all existing mining areas; no greenfields pits will be established.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dewatering of pits and storage of some water will be required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Ore extraction from the pits will initially be focused on oxide ores until mid-2026 with primary ores targeted from mid-2026 onward.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A new TSF will be completed by the end of 2027 (with construction scheduled to start in 2026).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mining will be carried out by contractors over the entire LOM.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Geotechnical risks exist in the large Sadiola Main pit which have been mitigated by additional geotechnical test work, staged mining, radar monitoring and two separate ramps.

The current or existing pits have been designed and laid out from a geotechnical and practical mining perspective. This reduces the need to recontour or rehabilitate mining areas prior to extraction, nor is excess additional pre-stripping required to access ore. Bench designs have been considered for waste and ore with the current design parameters including 20 m wide catch berms every 50 m in the oxide zone and 80 m in the primary zone. The existence of faults in the open pits is known and have been accounted for in the designs.

The LOM plan schedules a total material movement of 144.6 Mt of ore over a 17-year period. Mining has been designed and scheduled for total ex-pit tonnages moved and is expected to ramp up to 50 Mt/y in 2028 before decreasing in 2037. Most of the ore will come from the Sadiola Main pit, with ore production scheduled to ramp up from 6.0 Mt/y in 2026 to an average of about 9.2 Mt/y from 2030 before the pits are depleted in 2042.

<u>Processing and Recovery Operations</u>

The existing process plant is a conventional carbon in pulp ("CIP") circuit and is designed to treat soft oxide and 25% transitional ore. The existing plant consists of primary crushing for oxide ore, secondary crushing for transitional ore, grinding to 80% passing ("P80") 75 µm using two SAG mills and a ball mill, pre-oxidation, cyanidation and carbon adsorption for 24-hour leach residence time, followed by electrowinning and smelting to produce gold doré at an average of 92% recovery from oxide ore.

The Stage 1 Expansion added a new ball mill and a crushing circuit, allowing the plant to treat up to 60% of fresh rock at an increased throughput of 5.7Mt/y, leading to more stable operations and higher production levels.

The Phase 1 mill is expected to ramp up in the first quarter of 2026, alongside the completion of ancillary systems and power-supply upgrades. Further optimizations to the processing circuit, including instrumentation and automation upgrades, are planned for execution this year. Together, these initiatives are expected to improve operating conditions, enhance overall processing performance, and reduce reagent consumption incrementally.

The Company concluded that adding a pre-leach thickener to the circuit allows the plant to process over 90% of the fresh ore in the feed, increasing operational flexibility and potentially increasing production. Given that a pre-leach thickener is required regardless of the selected expansion scenario, the Company decided to begin engineering and design in late 2025 to prepare for construction in 2026.

Allied has also concluded that the best execution strategy for Phase 2 expansion at Sadiola is to progressively optimize, develop, and expand the current processing plant and ancillary infrastructure, rather than build a new processing plant. 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 per year of ore processed defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 MT and 8 MT per year. This strategy also allows the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, for further capital

efficiency and returns, although with the pending corporate transaction, Zijin Gold International Company Limited ("Zijin Gold") will have the option to pursue alternative development plans, including the construction of a larger plant. For 2026, the Company will advance the engineering and early works required for the 7MT per year step, together with the studies to increase recoveries, new tailings storage facility construction, solar farm earthworks and mobilization.

The 7MT per year step of the processing plant includes the construction of a permanent two-stage crushing plant and a grinding mill in the second line of the Sadiola plant, planned for development between late 2026 and late 2028. The subsequent 8MT and 9MT per year steps consist of adding a permanent tertiary crushing circuit and wet plant upgrades, respectively, and could be executed sequentially or concurrently, along with related expansions to power generation and ancillary facilities

At the 7 Mtpa throughput, the plant configuration will include the existing Stage 1 three-stage crushing circuit operating in parallel with a new two-stage crushing circuit. Downstream, the comminution circuit will comprise two parallel milling circuits (Stage 1 and a new mill already owned by the Company), producing a final grind of P80 75 µm. The remainder of the flowsheet will include a pre-leach thickener, pre-oxidation, cyanidation, and carbon adsorption, utilizing the existing facilities and remaining consistent with the general processing path defined for Sadiola in the previous technical work.

The following existing unit processes and infrastructure will be leveraged to minimize capital expenditure:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• leach and adsorption circuits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• elution and carbon regeneration

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• gold electrowinning

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reagent make up systems

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• existing services and utilities

<u>Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities</u> 

*Infrastructure*

Existing infrastructure includes an accommodation village, laboratory, offices, warehouse, maintenance workshop, a 1.8 km airstrip, a 55 km water pipeline from the Senegal River and an expanded diesel power station comprised of 31 x 1 MW gensets in total. The Company is undertaking a staged and scalable approach to address Sadiola's growing power needs, initially installing additional state-of-the-art diesel generators and control systems to complement the existing legacy system, followed by the implementation of a hybrid power solution, with the deployment of more efficient 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. The systems will then be scaled up to satisfy the energy needs of the next phase of expansion, providing Sadiola with a flexible power solution capable of meeting its ultimate power needs, while being self-reliant, efficient and cost-effective, and preserving the option to build an overland 225 kV power line to connect the site to the national grid.

*Permits*

Permits are in place for the existing operation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Environmental and social monitoring during 2020 including rainfall, dust deposition and water quality.

SEMOS has programs to evaluate the efficiency of resource use and pollution prevention. Data recorded includes annual water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and volumes of waste generated. SEMOS also reports monthly on, among others, land acquisition activities, local employment data, incidents and engagement activities.

The Sadiola expansion phase 1 was completed by December 2025. The Sadiola expansion phase 1.5 was approved in December 2025, which includes the installation of a pre leach thickener by Q1 2027 and construction of the expanded area for increasing the total throughput to 7 Mt/a by Q1 2029. This new expansion includes the required power infrastructure and new tailing storage facility # 2 (TSF # 2). All environmental permits required for bush clearance and construction of power infrastructure (solar farm and HFO plant) were obtained in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. All permits required for bush clearance and construction of TSF # 2 are underway and the required permit shall be ready before the end of March 2026. Additional permits are required to be in place prior to construction and operation of the Sadiola Expansion Project, which are relatively easy to obtain as they are within the current mine concession boundary. This includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Construction Permit for the installation of a pre leach thickener by Q1 2027 and construction of the expanded area for increasing the total throughput to 7 Mt/a by Q1 2029.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Bush Clearing Permit required for construction activities of the process plant as described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Radiation Permit for the transportation, storage and use of radiation sources (i.e. components in the process plant) as applicable for the construction activities of the process plant as described above.

Land acquisition and compensation for affected assets (i.e. farms, crops, houses or other structures) must be completed ahead of project implementation. Following the land use surveys for the powerline corridor, land acquisition and compensation costs will be confirmed.

*Environmental*

*Tailings Storage Facilities*

A new lined TSF facility will be completed in early Q1 2028 to contain the tailings from the new, expanded process facilities. The scope of this project includes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Construction of a lined, downstream-raised TSF, including starter embankment and staged embankment raises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Embankment earthworks, including foundation preparation, underdrainage systems, seepage collection, and seepage return infrastructure.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Installation of liner systems and associated leakage detection and monitoring provisions.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tailings deposition infrastructure and operating arrangements in line with the PFS deposition strategy.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Decant and return water management systems to support TSF operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tailings feed and return water pipeline systems, including allowances for interim and permanent configurations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continued operation of TSF1, including ongoing return water line requirements for the foreseeable future.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Electrical and control interfaces associated with tailings pumping and water return systems.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Integration with existing plant infrastructure, utilities, and access requirements.

Future lifts will be completed in accordance with production plans.

*Waste Rock Dumps*

Waste rock will be disposed in waste rock dumps ("**WRDs**") located adjacent to the open pits. The area to the east of the Sadiola open pit was selected as a dump location to minimize haulage distances and to keep the haulage cost low (i.e. being close to the pit exit) while reducing the likelihood of sterilizing future mineralization.

Geochemical test work has demonstrated a low risk of acid generation from the WRDs. Any minor proportions of potentially acid forming material would be placed centrally within the waste dumps. Arsenic exceeded release guideline concentrations in 38% of samples and this was distributed across all lithologies, pits and rock types. Additional kinetic test work is being carried out to confirm the results. Fresh and transitional waste will likely be encapsulated with an outer facing of oxide waste and trials of wetlands and laterite filters for closure may be required to control the release of these metals. It is envisaged that a cover system of benign waste and a growth medium will be required to rehabilitate the waste rock landform at closure.

Permits to discharge water from mining pits are in place subject to the assessment of water quality. Some water may require storage onsite and re-use due to elevated concentrations of arsenic, fluoride and molybdenum.

*Social*

Current mine activities occur within the Sadiola Rural Commune. The commune comprises 46 villages. Eight of these are situated within 4 km of the Sadiola Mine and are considered directly or indirectly affected by ongoing mining activities. Sadiola is the largest village and is the regional administration centre of the Commune.

Several key environmental and social plans are implemented on site, including environmental and social management and monitoring, local development (developed in collaboration with the local development committees), mine closure and stakeholder engagement.

*Closure Provisions*

Allied engaged Kewan Bond (Pty) Ltd as an independent consultant to review and update the mine closure estimate. The closure cost at the end of 2025, excluding retrenchment, was estimated at $95.8 million. Allied has committed to provide bank guarantee at a rate of $0.67/t mill feed processed by the Sadiola Expansion Project, which is to cover closure costs at the end of the mine life.

<u>Capital and Operating Cost Estimates</u> 

LOM capital costs for Sadiola are estimated at $672.4 million to a current planned completion of ore processing in 2042, with closure costs continuing to 2045. The estimate has an accuracy range of ±15%. The LOM capital costs include a 5% contingency.

Operating costs for Sadiola comprise mining, processing, and general and administration ("**G&A**") and are estimated at $5,062 million over the LOM as summarized in the table below. The operating cost estimate is considered to have an accuracy of ±15% with the following breakdown:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Operating costs and royalties total $36.50/t ore.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Mining costs total $3.32/t rock mined (ore plus waste).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Processing costs and administration costs total $18.89/t ore processed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Selling costs total $25 million and government and community royalties total $624 million.

Allied has concluded that the best execution strategy for Phase 2 expansion at Sadiola is to progressively optimize, develop, and expand the current processing plant and ancillary infrastructure, rather than build a new processing plant. 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 per year of ore processed defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 MT and 8 MT per year.

efficiency and returns, although with the pending corporate transaction, Zijin Gold will have the option to pursue alternative development plans, including the construction of a larger plant.

The total capital expenditures for the 7MT per year step of the processing plant are estimated at approximately $200 million, including engineering and construction of a permanent two-stage crushing plant and a grinding mill in the second line of the Sadiola plant, which are planned to be developed between late 2026 and late 2028. The subsequent 8MT and 9MT per year steps consist of adding a permanent tertiary crushing circuit and wet plant upgrades, respectively, and could be executed sequentially or concurrently, along with related expansions to power generation and ancillary facilities.

Operating costs are expected to be in-line with the Sadiola LOM operating cost summary, with increases expected related to royalties due to higher metal prices, combined with increases related to standard inflationary pressures.

Capital additions at the Sadiola mine totaled $83.0 million in 2025, driven primarily by Phase 1 expansion activities as the site began processing ore through the newly installed fresh-ore comminution circuit. Production costs for the year were $464.5 million. In 2026, capital investments are expected to reach $116.0 million, mainly supporting the pre-leach thickener installation, instrumentation and automation upgrades, engineering and initial construction for the 7MT per year step of Phase 2, as well as the continued progress on the solar farm and the construction of the new tailings facility.

<u>Exploration, Development and Production</u>

Allied's current near mine exploration targets are focused on identifying additional oxide and transition zone mineralization at Sadiola Main, FE2.5, FE4, FE2N, FE1, TK1 and fresh rock targets in Sekokoto West, FE4, FE2, Tambali and Sadiola Main.

In 2023, Allied Gold carried out a feasibility study to investigate various options to enable primary ore to be treated in the existing circuit and defer the full Sadiola Expansion Project in order to accommodate Allied's capital allocation strategy, de-risk the full expansion and develop additional optimization opportunities, including cost reductions and improvements in recoveries. The feasibility study recommended tertiary crushing of primary ore and installation of a pre-purchased 7 MW ball mill together with the existing circuit. Mill modelling showed that 3 Mt/y of primary ore and 2.75 Mt/y of oxide ore could be treated through the upgraded circuit (Stage 1 expansion).

The Stage 1 expansion scope of work is summarized as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The installation of a new 400TPH tertiary crushing circuit producing a P80 of 11.1mm.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The relocation and utilization of two existing variable speed belt feed hoppers to feed the refurbished, pre-purchased 7 MW ball mill.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Grinding of primary ore to P80 75 µm using the 7 MW ball mill. The cyclone overflow at 40% solids would be pre-oxidized and leached in one train of the existing CIP circuit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Crushing and grinding of oxide ore to P80 75 µm using the existing 2.5 MW primary mills and 2.5 MW regrind mill. The cyclone overflow at 32% solids would be pre-oxidized and leached in one train of the existing CIP circuit.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tailings combined for cyanide detoxification and then pumped to the TSF.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Carbon recovered from each CIP circuit would be treated in the existing elution circuits for subsequent electrowinning and smelting to produce gold doré.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The additional 10 MW of power is provided by a third party through a power purchase agreement.

The Stage 1 expansion is now planned to be followed by a progressive Stage 2 expansion strategy to incrementally optimize, develop, and expand the current processing plant and ancillary

infrastructure. 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 per year of ore processed defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 MT and 8 MT per year. This strategy also allows the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, for further capital efficiency and returns, although with the pending corporate transaction, Zijin Gold International Company Limited ("Zijin Gold") will have the option to pursue alternative development plans, including the construction of a larger plant.

Once completed, the full Stage 2 expansion is expected to produce up to approximately 300 koz/year on average over the life of mine (LOM), which is forecasted to extend from 2026 to 2040. The Company will advance the expansion engineering and will continue to advance the recovery improvement project based on the Albion technology to the feasibility study level during 2026.

The phased investment approach allows Allied to execute its growth plan with lower execution risks and a disciplined capital allocation approach, while providing the opportunity to advance the optimizations aimed to increased metallurgical recoveries, increasing production and reducing costs.

Despite having over 7 Moz in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves in open pits and several exploration targets near surface, there is strong underground potential at Sadiola. Orelogy carried out a conceptual study for an underground development, which demonstrated the potential for an underground mine using long hole open stoping.

Allied has purchased its own drill rigs capable of drilling to 1,500 m depth. Drilling to test underground potential is anticipated to commence in 2026

<u>Project update and on-going progress</u>

As previously noted, with the implementation and completion of the Stage 1 expansion, Sadiola is expected to maintain more consistent production with the above mentioned higher level of fresh ore feed beginning in 2026, resulting in annual production of 200,000 to 230,000 gold ounces, representing a 17% to almost 30% increase over annual production in 2023 when the phased expansion and certain other improvements and optimizations at Sadiola were first introduced. The Phase 2 expansion is expected to provide a further increase in production and a reduction in costs for the life of the mine once completed.

Construction of the Stage 1 Project at Sadiola broke ground in the fourth quarter of 2024 and advanced throughout 2025 on schedule and on budget. Ore feed to the mill started late in the fourth quarter, and the Stage 1 mill is expected to ramp up in the first quarter of 2026, alongside the completion of ancillary systems and power-supply upgrades. For 2026, the Company will advance the engineering and early works required for the 7MT-per-year step, together with studies to increase recoveries, the start of construction of the new tailings storage facility, and earthworks and mobilization for a photovoltaic plant. Further optimizations to the processing circuit, including instrumentation and automation upgrades, are planned for execution this year. Together, these initiatives are expected to improve operating conditions, enhance overall processing performance, and reduce reagent consumption incrementally.

Reference should be made to the full text of the Kurmuk Report, which has been filed with applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities pursuant to NI 43-101 and is available for review under the Company's profile at <u>www.sedarplus.ca</u>.

<u>Property Description, Location and Access</u>

The Kurmuk Project is located in western Ethiopia, approximately 750 km west-northwest of the capital city of Addis Ababa and 65 km north-northwest of the town of Asosa. The Kurmuk Project is accessed via a sealed road that connects the border town of Kurmuk to Asosa, with highways linking to Addis Ababa and Djibouti port. Asosa is serviced by three daily domestic flights from Addis Ababa. The border with Sudan is approximately 5 km due west of the proposed mine site.

The region has a sub-tropical climate, with a wet season extending from May to October. Average annual rainfall is 950 mm. The temperature ranges from 25°C to 42°C, with the highest temperatures recorded in March and April.

The Kurmuk Project area is within the East Sudanian Savanna ecoregion, a topographically rugged area with steep northeast trending ranges up to 1,500 m elevation and ephemeral streams in the valleys. The local population within the mine site area of influence is estimated at 9,500.

Mining in Ethiopia is regulated by the Ministry of Mines and Petroleum ("**MoMP**") under the Mining Operations Proclamation with six types of licences issued: reconnaissance, exploration, retention, artisanal, small-scale mining and large-scale mining licences. Kurmuk has a Large-Scale Mining Licence which was granted on September 30, 2021 for 20 years over a 100.4 km<sup>2</sup> area covering the Dish Mountain and Ashashire deposits and proposed infrastructure. Allied also holds the Mestefinfin, Abetselo and Dul-Ashashire Exploration Licences that surround the Mining Licence, which are collectively 1,460.7 km<sup>2</sup> in area.

Allied and the Ethiopian Government entered into the Kurmuk Development Agreement on September 30, 2021 for an initial 20-year term, renewable for periods of ten years. The Development Agreement sets the parameters for the economic framework of the planned development including regimes for customs, tax, royalty, federal and state government participation, and environmental and community development. Key details of these parameters include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Corporate income tax: 25%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Royalty: 5% for precious metals

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Government participation: The Government shall acquire 7% equity participation with public road upgrades and installation of the 132 kV powerline from Asosa.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Environmental Rehabilitation Fund: Funds are paid annually based on mine closure costs divided by the mine life.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Community Development Fund: Distributes funds to the impacted communities based on 2% of annual net profit or operating costs, whichever is higher.

It is noted that construction works are progressing, see "*Project construction update*".

The Environmental Impact Assessments ("**EIA**") have been approved for the proposed mining project and grid power connection. The Company will continue engaging and working with local communities following the commitments of the EIA and best industry practices.

The potential for local and regional unrest may affect access from time to time to perform work on Kurmuk and lead to temporary supply chain interruptions. These risks have been mitigated during the

construction phase with in-house and external logistical management and storage flexibility on-site. For the operations phase, Allied is planning to continue with the same approach, leveraging its expertise in the country and its other operations in Africa. The majority of personnel will be sourced from the local communities with senior Ethiopian staff and expatriate staff typically travelling from Addis Ababa. Expatriate personnel will be used to train, mentor and transfer skills.

<u>History</u>

Gold mining activity in the general region is reported to date back to the ancient Egyptian empire.

The Dish Mountain exploration licence was acquired by Ariab Gold Mining and Investment Plc in May 2007 from the MoMP. The licence was transferred from Ariab Gold Mining Plc to ASCOM Mining Ethiopia Plc ("**AME**") on November 20, 2008.

Trenching conducted in 2010 and subsequent RC drilling in 2011 confirmed the gold mineralized zones at Dish Mountain. After conducting a project review in late 2013, AME decided to advance the development of Dish Mountain to pre-feasibility study ("**PFS**") status. This involved additional diamond and RC drilling.

In May 2017, Allied took control of AME and in September 2018 acquired the Ashashire exploration licence from the MoMP. The Ashashire licence, located 11 km south of Dish Mountain, was previously owned by Aurigin Resources Inc. ("**Aurigin**"), in joint venture with Gold Fields (2011–2014). Key exploration work completed to 2015 comprised extensive geochemical sampling of stream, soil and rock outcrops; mapping and trenching; airborne magnetics and radiometrics and approximately 5,000 m of diamond and RC drilling. Aurigin relinquished the licence in 2015.

Allied carried out a scoping study in April 2019 and a PFS in December 2019, which concluded that additional economic mineralization was required to justify project development at Dish Mountain.

Following the completion of the 2019 PFS, investigations at Ashashire progressed to the point where sufficient Mineral Resources had been identified to make it a viable addition to Dish Mountain. A further PFS was completed in 2021 to update the financials for the combined project. A feasibility study was completed in 2022 ("**2022 FS**"). In 2023, a Front End Engineering and Design ("**2023 FEED**") package was completed, with further optimizations completed on the project during the execution phase.

There has been no recent gold production within the Kurmuk Project. Allied is currently in the construction phase of the project with the objective to achieve first production in mid-2026 and commercial production thereafter.

<u>Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types</u>

The Kurmuk Project lies within the Neoproterozoic volcano-sedimentary Tulu Dimtu shear belt at the northern end of the East African Orogen. The north-trending belt in western Ethiopia is characterized by metasedimentary rocks interlayered with mafic to ultramafic volcanic and intrusive rocks, all metamorphosed to upper greenschist/amphibolite facies which resulted from amalgamation of the Gondwana cratons.

The Dish Mountain Deposit is associated with four main rock groups: foliated mafic igneous rocks; intercalated foliated metasediments; deformed ultramafic rocks and post tectonic intrusive rocks. The metasediments include local chemical sediments which act as useful marker horizons. The Dish Mountain deposit is interpreted as peripheral to a mafic dominant, bimodal, eruptive centre. Gold mineralization is related to late-stage, discordant extensional quartz > dolomite >> pyrite (+chlorite-

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 87 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

tourmaline-gold) veins and adjacent dolomite-muscovite-pyrite alteration selvages with vein sets ranging 1 to 10 m in thickness. In the western portion of the deposit, mineralization is constrained to sub-vertical corridors of extensional veining. To the northeast, mineralization is shallower dipping, stratigraphically controlled but locally interrupted by steep structures.

Mineralization modelling at the Dish Mountain deposit considered the litho-structural framework, vein percentage and mineralogy, alteration, and sulfide mineralization where present, as well as the gold assay data. There are two distinct styles of mineralization in the Dish Mountain deposit, constrained on a deposit scale by late structures: steep corridors of extensional veining in the southwest, and locally disrupted stratigraphic-controlled lodes in the northeast.

The Ashashire deposit, 11 km south of Dish Mountain, is in the same shear belt with a steep, southeast-dipping, mafic-dominated volcaniclastic footwall sequence, jasperoidal and chert horizons, numerous thin granite and tonalite intrusive rocks, and siliciclastic, sediment-dominated fine-grained psammites, pelites and psammo-pelites separated by mafic units, and a mafic-dominated hanging wall sequence comprising chloritic siltstone and basalt.

Gold mineralization at Ashashire favours the competency contrast boundaries between the sediment terranes and mafic units, with the mineralization hosted in zones typically associated with granitoid lenses and the margins of mafic bodies. The mineralization occurs as a series of stratigraphically controlled lodes comprised of dominantly quartz-dolomite-pyrite veins and minor stockwork, typically found in association with the granitic intrusive units and along the margins of the metasedimentary terrane and mafic, each representing a competency contrast boundary. These lodes dip steeply to the northeast, and in the northern part of the deposit area overturn at depth.

<u>Exploration</u>

Several exploration opportunities have been identified around each deposit and include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In-pit Inferred Mineral Resources: Due to the steep nature and difficult access of Dish Mountain, there remains about 110 koz of Inferred Resources within the designed pits which are informed by Measured and Indicated Resources only. Infill drilling has been undertaken to upgrade these Inferred Resources.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Below pit and lateral extensions to the open-ended mineralized zones at both Dish and Ashashire to support a potential expansion of the pits and an increase in reserves. Drill testing is ongoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dish Mountain satellite deposits: These include John Dory and Seahorse, located approximately 2 km north of the proposed process plant where a 1.5 km extent of gold-in-soil anomalies have been mapped, trenched and drilled. A modest resource has been defined but no reserves yet as geotechnical and metallurgical studies are outstanding. These deposits are in close proximity to the TSF. If the mineralization is shown to be economic, the waste could be used for downstream buttressing to reduce TSF sustaining costs. There are opportunities to extend the zones to depth.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tsenge: Located approximately 5 km southeast of the proposed process plant and along strike to the northeast of Ashashire. A soil sampling program was completed which has delineated a nine km long gold-in-soil trend with six distinct stronger gold-in-soil anomalies. Initial drilling at the south end, at Hiccup Hill and Setota has returned potentially economic assay results during 2024 and 2025. Further drilling and trenching are ongoing at high priority targets to discover new, economic zones of gold mineralization and a deep penetrating IP survey is planned along the length of the anomalous trend and over portions of the Ashashire deposit.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 88 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Western Prospects: Located from 1.4 to 3.5 km west of the Dish Mountain Deposit. Trenching, prospecting and soil sampling have defined three, 1 to 2.5 km, northeast-trending zones that will be followed up with trenching and scout drilling.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Urchin: Located immediately west of the Ashashire Deposit along the Ashashire haul road. Trenching and drilling has returned potentially economic gold values, which are being followed up by a subsequent phase of drilling.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dul Mountain: Situated 5 km south of Ashashire, Dul Mountain is a known historical prospect with defined gold-in-soil anomalism. Trenching has returned potentially economic widths and grades.

<u>Drilling</u>

A total of 646 diamond drillholes of PQ, HQ and NQ diameter and 364 reverse circulation (RC) drillholes, and a further 115 RC holes with core extensions, have been drilled at Dish Mt since 2010, for a total 176,120 m. Drilling in 2025 focused on the numerous targets with an initial goal to add to the Inferred Mineral Resource inventory.

A total of 249 diamond drillholes of PQ, HQ and NQ diameter, 66 RC drillholes and 15 RC holes with core extensions were completed by Allied and the previous owners Aurigin Resources (Aurigin) on the Ashashire deposit between 2010 and January 2025. Recent drilling has focused mainly on down dip extensions of mineralization. Drilling comprises a total of 61,087 m.

<u>Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification</u> 

RC drillholes were sampled from 0.6 to 1.2m intervals. RC chip samples from the drill rig cyclone were split every metre using a 75:25 riffle splitter. Core recovery for fresh material and oxide material averaged 97–98%.

Drillhole collar surveys were by GPS to the local WGS84 datum with magnetic north and UTM corrections made using local topographic maps. Collar positions were subsequently verified by independent surveyors. A satellite topographic survey was conducted over the proposed pits, process plant, tailings dam and water supply dams. Downhole surveys measuring azimuth, inclination, magnetic field strength and dip were taken at 30 m intervals. Drill core was geologically and structurally logged using data entry software and photographed at the core yard. Half core samples were collected with remaining core stored in trays in the core shed along with RC chip trays. Sample pulps and rejects are stored in drums within sea containers on site. Samples were sent to various certified laboratories over time using sealed containers, only opened during supervised customs inspection.

Earlier drill samples (2011-2012) were analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy ("**AAS**") to 0.01 ppm Au detection from pulverized fire assay subsamples at ALS laboratory in Johannesburg. Later analysis (2015-2016) was conducted at ALS in Sweden using cyanide bottle roll leach that incorporated the Leachwell additive from samples prepared at the ALS sample preparation facility in Addis Ababa. Samples from the 2011–2015 drilling campaigns were not submitted to third party umpire laboratories.

Check programs by Allied using ALS Perth with Intertek Perth as an umpire laboratory were carried out to re-assay and generate a coherent fire assay database. The Intertek umpire analyses confirmed the re-assay values. Allied's 2018 and later drilling programs used ALS Perth and ALS Johannesburg for analysis by fire assay/AAS detection and the standard QA/QC procedure was to insert check samples at a 1:20 ratio (CRM, blanks and duplicates).

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 89 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Since 2018, sample preparation has mostly been undertaken by Allied at the Dish Mountain exploration camp. The laboratories used for sample analysis are independent of Allied.

Laboratory data had been stored in a DataShed database rebuilt by Allied to incorporate the original ALS assay results and QA/QC checks for each batch. All geological and analytical data has been migrated to a new Fusion database. The initial database had been independently validated by Geobase Australia and is now maintained by Allied. The database is backed up offsite daily and monthly.

<u>Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing</u>

Since 2018, Allied has carried out comprehensive metallurgical test work programs on 44 Dish Mountain and 22 Ashashire variability samples taken from 64 drillholes. 54 variability samples were generated and from these, 12 lithology composites (Dish and Ashashire primary and oxide for each of mafic, pelite, and chert or granite) and master composites of oxide and primary ore were produced. Approximately 20% of the tests were undertaken on oxide and transitional ore and the remaining 80% on fresh ore, similar to the distribution in the processing schedule.

Tests included ore breakage and abrasion characteristics, Bond Ball Mill Work Index, grind sensitivity and optimization, gravity recovery potential, leach time sensitivity, preg-robbing evaluation, carbon adsorption kinetics and cyanide detoxification.

Test results across both deposits concluded the ore was of medium hardness, low to moderate abrasion, and with an optimized P80 grind of 75 µm, better than 50% gravity recovery, expected leach extraction of 90% to 94%, no-preg robbing characteristics and cyanide consumption up to 0.30 kg/t and lime consumption up to 3.9 kg/t. Mineralogy shows that the Ashashire fresh ore types have tellurides, which require high lime additions to realize 90% extraction.

The resultant gravity circuit design was based on 35% recovery. Tailings settlement and rheology studies indicated moderate settling rates with up to 56-66% densities being obtained and 60% pumping being practical. The test work was used in the 2022 FS to estimate throughput, recovery and process plant design for the 6.0 Mt/y conventional CIL plant with a 92.1% recovery estimate over the life of mine.

During 2025, 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 and Tsenge. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average processing capacity of up to 6.4 MT per year. This increased flexibility is being incorporated into the project execution, with subsequent modifications 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 its assets.

<u>Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates</u>

The Mineral Resource estimate presented herein are based on block models generated during July of 2025, considering data received until June 30, 2025. The resource estimation work was completed by Ms. Chelsey Protulipac, P.Geo (PGO#2608), an appropriate Qualified Person as this term is defined in NI 43-101, with contributions from Mr. Alejandro Garrone (AUSIMM).

The Mineral Resources have been estimated conforming with CIM (2019) Guidelines and are reported in accordance with NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have

demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

The Mineral Resource estimation prepared for the Kurmuk Gold Complex consists of estimation of the Dish Mountain Deposit (including Northern Prospects satellite zone), and the Ashashire Deposit.

Mineral Resources were estimated using a geostatistical block-modelling approach informed by gold assay data collected from diamond drill holes (DD) and reverse circulation (RC) drill holes completed for both exploration and production purposes. Drilling data were compiled and verified prior to estimation, and three-dimensional models of lithology, structure, weathering, and mineralization were constructed to define mineralization domains.

For both deposits, a litho-structural framework was modelled focusing on deposit-scale mineralization controls using Leapfrog Geo (version 2024.1.3). Major geological units were modelled as three-dimensional volumes based on the interpretation of lithological logging, core photos, focused field observations undertaken during the modelling process, extensive surface mapping data and existing interpretations. Deposit-scale faults based on logging, presence of late lamprophyredykes infilling these features, along with surface mapping data, were identified and interpreted and modelled as three-dimensional surfaces.

The consideration of which lithological units to model for the purposes of coding into the block model considered logging confidence and consistency in the database, materiality of a unit or grouping by its volumetric contribution, noted differences in bulk density measurements, and any requirements for mine planning based on geotechnical domaining, and existing metallurgical and comminution test work. The following 3D volumes were exported for lithological coding in the block model: a carbonate chert unit, certain clastic sediment terranes, and a grouping of mafic volcanic and intrusive packages that provide stratigraphic control of lodes in the northeast area of the property.

A weathering profile covering each deposit area was modelled based on core logging and validated with field observations and checking the core photos database. In both cases, a saprolite (completely oxidized), a transitional weathered unit consisting of pervasive iron oxide staining, poor rock quality but not completely oxidized rock, and the upper limit of the fresh rock surface were modelled in 3D and exported as surfaces to code the block model.

Domain solids and flagged assay intervals were exported from Leapfrog Geo software, and Datamine Studio RM was used to prepare assay data for geostatistical analysis, construct the block model, estimate metal grades, and tabulate mineral resources. The Geostatistical Software Library (GSLib) suite of software was used for geostatistical analysis, variography, and model validation. Geovia's Whittle module was used to generate an optimized pit shell to constrain mineral resources.

Assays were composited to a common support of 2 meters, with 96% of the assay intervals having a length <=2m. Residual lengths were distributed equally among composites within a flagged string of data. Capping was applied to composites, as required, considering probability plots, capping sensitivity analyses, and reviewing the spatial distribution of outliers. Capping was evaluated by domain, on average, at the 99th percentile and with an average metal loss of 4%.

A volumetric block model was established with a parent cell size of 10m x 10m x 5m, allowing minimum sub-cells of 0.5m in all directions to honour the geometries of the mineralization domains, lithology and weathering surfaces coded into the block model.

Experimental variograms, each considering only data within a unique domain, were calculated and then modelled using GSLIB suite of tools. The variogram model was used to constrain maximum

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 91 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

search neighbourhood distances and anisotropy. Search neighbourhood parameters were established considering the data configuration, parent block, and geostatistical anisotropic ratios. A selection of search neighbourhood sensitivities were run on selected domains to ensure that the parameters were robust and suitable. Three gradually relaxed search passes were established to optimize the estimation at different data spacing configurations.

An Ordinary Kriging algorithm was used to estimate a gold value into each parent block using Datamine Studio RM. The block estimations were validated visually in 3D and on sections and plans compared to the informing data. The estimations were validated statistically by comparing the basic statistics of the naïve and de-clustered composites to that of the estimated grades, by swath analysis, and change of support checks.

Bulk density was encoded into each block considering both the weathering profile and lithology model based on 36,830 specific gravity readings at Dish and 5,561 readings at Ashashire obtained by using a standard weight in water/weight in air methodology on split drill core informing the relevant volumes. An average density specific to these constraints was applied to these volumes, given the low coefficient of variation of these datasets.

The block models were validated through visual comparison of estimated grades against informing composites on plans, sections, and three-dimensional views, a statistical comparison of estimated block grades to the naïve and de-clustered capped composite population, and volume variance checks.

Mineral Resources were constrained by a topographic surface updated with December 2025 end-of-month survey considering pre-stripping areas. Mineral Resource classification was based on data quality, geological confidence, drilling density, geostatistical support demonstrating continuity above cut-off grade, and is linked to estimation pass and variogram ranges.

Mineral Resources are reported within an optimized open-pit shell generated using site-specific technical and economic assumptions consistent with Mineral Reserve reporting and a gold price of US$2,300 per ounce.

See *"Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates".*

*Mineral Reserves*

The Mineral Reserves estimates presented herein are based on block models completed in December 2025, incorporating drilling data available up to June 30, 2025. Economic parameters were provided by Allied Gold Corp., including the gold price, refining, and royalties. Operating costs were based on the current mining contract, the 2023 Kurmuk Project Study, and Budget 2025. Metallurgical recoveries were obtained from 2023 Kurmuk Project Study.

The estimates were prepared by Mr. Esteban Chacon Meynard, Chilean Accreditation Commission for Competences in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101, in accordance with CIM Standards and CRIRSCO Standards.

Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101.

The Mineral Reserve reflects the portion of the Mineral Resource which can be economically extracted by open pit methods, and considers the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 92 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

project. The Proven Mineral Reserve estimate is the economically mineable portion of the Measured Mineral Resource. The Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable portion of the Indicated Mineral Resource.

For reserves evaluation, Maptek Vulcan and Dassault Systems Whittle mining software were used. Based on the configuration of the mineralization, dilution was applied based on a minimum mining width according to mining parameters and then applying 1.0 meter of dilution allowance to the hanging wall and footwall of each of the mineralized lodes. Mineable volumes based on this selective mining unit were created using Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), then used to generate a diluted sub-celled MSO model. Pit optimization using the MSO model was carried out using a base gold price of $1,700/oz for the pit optimization, with the selected pit shells using values of $1,530 (revenue factor 0.90) and $1,300/oz (revenue factor 0.76) for Dish Mountain and Ashashire, respectively. Mineral Reserves were reported using cut-off grades informed by a $1,700/oz gold price and vary from 0.36 to 0.49 g/t gold for different ore types due to differences in recoveries, costs for ore processing, and ore haulage.

Allied is not aware of any metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, and other relevant issues that could impact the Mineral Resource estimate or the Mineral Reserve estimation at Kurmuk. Please also refer to *"Description of the Business – Risk Factors – Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources".*

See "*Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates*".

<u>Mining Operations</u>

The mine plan has been developed to feed a central 6.4 Mt/y process plant from the two open pit mining operations at Dish Mountain and Ashashire.

The Dish Mountain open pit is to be developed in six stages, whilst the Ashashire open pit will be mined in three stages. Both final pits will be about 350 m deep. Appropriate design criteria have been applied for both pit designs.

Proposed owner operated mine equipment includes 200 t excavators (Komatsu PC2000) and 90 t rigid trucks (Komatsu HD785-7) supported by an appropriate ancillary equipment fleet. Pit ramps and haul roads have been designed to suit the proposed equipment and the pit itself is designed for 9.0 m benches with 3.0 m flitches for Dish Mountain and 10 m benches with 3.3 m flitches for Ashashire. The mine is planned to operate continuously for 348 d/y. The equipment selection and bench/flitch heights were selected to maintain dilution at acceptable levels and minimize ore loss. Dilution and ore loss is estimated to be 23% and 3% at Dish Mountain and 12% and 2% at Ashashire, respectively.

Drill and blast will be required for all material using bulk explosives in a semi-wet environment with quantities varied based upon rock hardness.

Grade control for the open pits will be undertaken with dedicated RC drill rigs with samples processed by an onsite laboratory.

Geotechnical investigations have been underway at Dish Mountain since 2015 and Ashashire since 2020. Design face heights for Dish Mountain are 9.0 m for oxides up to 18.0 m and 51<sup>o</sup> to 58<sup>o</sup> for fresh rock. Design face heights for Ashashire are 10 m for oxides and fresh and 52 <sup>o</sup> to 54 <sup>o</sup> for fresh rock. The qualified person of the Kurmuk Report considers the geotechnical work for Dish Mountain to be fair and reasonable whereas further geotechnical work for tactical planning is required at Ashashire, however it is suitable for the LOM plan and reserve declaration.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 93 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Hydrogeological reviews for both Dish and Ashashire have indicated a limited groundwater inflows of <7 L/s and it is unlikely to affect mining that is primarily on a ridge and isolated from groundwater. In-pit water will be managed by in-pit dewatering sumps and boreholes and will have a negligible impact on pit wall stability. Ongoing hydrogeological investigations will continue as mining commences and will adapt as necessary.

The LOM production schedules estimate a total of approximately 385 Mt total material movement from 2025 to 2036, of which 64 Mt is Ore. The schedules are limited by excavator capacity while maintaining a vertical advance below 12 benches per annum. Waste movement is relatively stable whereas ore movement fluctuates, and process plant feed needs to be supplemented from stockpiles from prior years.

<u>Processing and Recovery Operations</u>

The planned process plant has been designed to treat 6.4 Mt/y on average. Kurmuk ore can be classed as free milling with high recoveries from oxide, transition and primary material and a high free gold content supporting the inclusion of gravity recovery within the flowsheet. The flowsheet will consist of primary crushing, two-stage milling with gravity recovery, primary leach followed by CIL with tailings thickened prior to cyanide detoxification to minimize cyanide consumption and costs of detoxification. Gravity concentrate will be intensively leached in a strong cyanide solution with electrowinning of gold. Loaded carbon will be acid-washed, eluted and regenerated with gold being electrowon prior to smelting into doré. Thickened tailings will be disposed in a HDPE lined valley fill site.

<u>Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities</u>

*Infrastructure*

The HDPE lined TSF is planned as a valley impoundment with multi-zoned, earth-fill embankments. The TSF will have a total footprint area (including the basin area) of 104 ha for the Stage 1 TSF, and a final footprint of 275 ha. The total capacity of the TSF is 60 Mt of tailings with the flexibility of additional storage and further possible expansion. Both tailings and waste rock are non-acid forming and the current TSF mitigation and design measures are considered adequate.

Dam break assessments were undertaken to determine populations at risk. The assessment showed that the tailings solids would travel 3 to 4 km downstream and would not impact any downstream communities. The stability assessment shows suitable factors of safety have been included to meet ANCOLD design standards.

Static test work on 200 waste rock samples shows that acid generation from the waste rock should not be a significant risk and any minor acid generating rock would be placed within the centre of the waste rock dump. Kinetic leaching test work on Dish Mountain samples have confirmed the low risk of metalloid leaching.

A 5.4 Mm3 water storage dam ("**WSD**") is fed from a 120 km<sup>2</sup> upstream catchment area which is located 7 km southwest of the process plant. The reservoir surface area will be 73 ha with a 36 m high embankment. The stability assessment shows suitable factors of safety have been included to meet ANCOLD and Canadian Dam Association design standards. In the unlikely event of failure, the dam break assessment shows that a downstream bridge and some houses in Horizab (a downstream community) may be impacted. The emergency spillway has been designed for a 1:10,000 year event.

Total connected power will be 36 MW with an average demand of approximately 30-32 MW. Electrical grid power is to be supplied to the operation via a 72 km, 132 kV powerline with substations at

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 94 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Assosa and the Kurmuk Project. The Government will provide the grid connection to increase their equity stake in KGM from 5% to 7%, as defined in the Kurmuk Development Agreement. Power will be distributed on site via a network of 11 kV powerlines.

Process plant security will include a perimeter fence as well as a double fence around high-security processing areas. The security-manned gold room incorporates access control and monitoring.

The onsite analytical laboratory is to be supplied by Allied to the laboratory operator with sample analysis included in the operating costs.

*Permitting, Environmental and Social*

The ESIA for the Dish and Ashashire mining areas was approved as part of the application for the Large Scale Mining Licence granted on September 30, 2021, while the powerline corridor ESIA was approved in April 2022. The ESIAs were developed to meet Ethiopian legislative requirements and to align with international good practice.

Environmental and social requirements of the Large Scale Mining Licence include preferential employment and procurement practices, allocation for rehabilitation of environmental impacts, participation in community development and obtaining written consent including compensation for landowners. The capital and operating costs include allowances for these requirements.

Formal acquisition of land held by individuals or private organizations has been developed in 2025.

Environmental and social baseline studies have been undertaken in the mine infrastructure area and along the powerline corridor. The Kurmuk Project area lies within East Sudanian Savanna terrestrial ecoregion. The ecoregion is regarded as critically endangered due to agriculture and other activities, but the Kurmuk Project area does not overlap with any designated or formally protected areas. Habitats of high biodiversity sensitivity were identified within the mine infrastructure area and along the powerline corridor, and as a consequence the powerline corridor was realigned.

A survey of archaeological sites across the study area was undertaken and an appropriately qualified archaeologist has confirmed suitable measures to mitigate impacts on any sites of heritage significance.

The closest communities are approximately 8-10 km from the proposed Dish Mountain mine and process plant, 8 km from the proposed Ashashire mine and 3 km from the WSD. Approximately 9,500 people reside in the mine's area of influence. No physical relocation of communities is required for the operation and provision has been made for the compensation of individuals affected by economic displacement. Ethiopia does not recognize any indigenous populations; however, the Berta people are considered indigenous under international guidelines. Allied has committed to providing for social programs in the area, as indicated in the ESIA and following best international practices.

<u>Capital and Operating Cost Estimates</u>

Total LOM capital costs for the 11-year mine life are estimated at $592 million to a ±15% accuracy. The main components of the capital costs cover $498 million of pre-production costs for pre-stripping and development of the Kurmuk Project, $61 million for sustaining capital for mining contractor

Processing costs represent 20% of the operating costs and average approximately $7.70/t processed over the LOM. The range of operating costs is $7.12/t for Dish Mountain oxide up to $8.38/t for harder ore from Ashashire. The fixed and variable process costs were applied, by ore type, in the processing schedule. It is acknowledged that processing costs at $7.70/t over the LOM benchmark low due to the low power price ($0.03 /kWh), low cyanide consumption (0.30 kg/t) and competitive labour costs.

Administration costs at $21.1 million per annum benchmark reasonably well with similar sized operations. Selling costs are based on $5/oz for doré transport and refining. Royalties are based on the Development Agreement and include 5% Government royalty based on net revenue and 2% community development royalty based on 2% from annual net profit or operating costs, whichever is the higher.

The economic evaluation of Kurmuk (100%) is based upon the Mineral Reserve available over the LOM, coupled with the capital and operating costs, taxes and royalties as well as revenue factors, based on consensus gold price forecasts from to 2027 and a flat gold price of $1,731/oz from 2028 onwards.

Along with the advancement of engineering for the project, the Company completed a review of the capacity of the processing plant in consideration of the ore inventory and the exploration progress at Dish, Ashashire and Tsenge. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average processing capacity of up to 6.4 Mt/y. This increased flexibility is being incorporated into the execution project, with subsequent modifications to the leaching circuit expected to be deployed in the future to increase fresh ore recoveries. The expanded processing capacity is expected to drive a modest increase in capital costs, consistent with consensus estimates on a capital intensity basis. 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 our assets.

Operating costs are expected to be in-line with potential increases related to standard inflationary pressures.

Capital additions at the Kurmuk mine totaled $260.6 million in 2025, driven primarily by project development costs, along with exploration activities and office-related expenditures. In 2026, capital investments are expected to increase to $280.0 million, including $240.0 million allocated to completing the remaining project scope with additional funding for post-project initiatives, such as expanding in-country warehousing capacity, developing satellite deposits, advancing community projects, and implementing process plant optimization initiatives for future years. Sustaining capital of $35.0 million in 2026 relates to open-pit waste stripping.

<u>Exploration, Development and Production</u>

In 2025, Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources remained unchanged for Kurmuk. The Company's broader strategy is to extend the strategic mine life to at least 15 years. Drilling efforts, as part of the $7.3 million 2025 exploration investment at Kurmuk, were concentrated on extending the deposits to depth and laterally at Dish Mountain and Ashashire, which are the initial open pits housing all current Mineral Reserves. Positive results at Dish indicate that the mineralized lenses extend to depth and locally, laterally. At Ashashire, ongoing drilling has demonstrated that the mineralized lenses continue to depth with a plan to continue testing laterally. Additionally, drilling activities continue at the Tsenge Prospect, defined by a 9km gold in soil and rock anomaly. Initial holes at Tsenge have returned economic widths and grades of gold in drill core which are being followed by drilling and channel sampling of additional targets. As well, a program of scout drilling to test areas the strongest gold-in-soil anomalies, further channel sampling and a deep penetrating IP survey is planned for 2026. The goal is to define higher grade mineral reserves which could potentially contribute to extend mine life and optimize short to medium term production. A first pass exploration program was also carried over the Urchin Prospect in 2025. In late 2025 and early 2026, another round of drilling was carried out over the Urchin Prospect. A new drill campaign will begin testing the Western Prospects in 2026.

Work to refine the geological framework of the Dish Deposit mineralization was completed in early 2025. A detailed litho-structural surface map of Dish Mountain has been generated, utilizing numerous rock exposures uncovered during construction. This information, along with drill data has been integrated into the three-dimensional litho-structural model. In mid-2026, Allied expects an updated Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves statement that will further define Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves, Measured, Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resources. This update could include a revised life of mine plan with a focus on the start of operations and is targeted to de-risk the ramp-up and further improve production levels at Kurmuk, particularly in the first years of operations. As noted above, Tsenqe continues to return encouraging intersections, and the Company anticipates declaring an initial Mineral Resource for this area in mid-2026.

<u>Project construction update</u>

On September 7, 2023, the pre-construction activities of the Kurmuk Project commenced, leading to full construction activities beginning in mid-2024. The project continues to track well against plan, both in terms of physical completion and spend, while achieving key milestones and progress during 2025.

Procurement and logistics of critical items are substantially complete, and the key focus during the latter part of last year has been on transporting equipment and materials to the site and ramping up steel and mechanical erection at the crushing circuit and the processing plant. Mining activities at Ashashire and Dish Mountain are progressing according to plan, with the objective of building at least three months' worth of ore stockpiles to support the start of operations in mid-2026. Kurmuk will continue mechanical activities throughout the first quarter of 2026, progress the remaining earthworks at the tailings storage facility and haulage road, and advance piping and electrical installation, other infrastructure, and ancillary facilities.

The Ethiopian Electrical Power Company is advancing the power line construction, which is expected to be completed before commissioning. Pre-commissioning activities are planned to begin at the start of the second quarter, with the first gold expected in mid-2026.

**CDI Complex**

***Bonikro Mine***

<u>Property Description, Location and Access</u>

The Bonikro Mine is an operating gold mine in Côte d'Ivoire which comprises the Bonikro and Hiré mining licences, and collectively with Agbaou is managed as one business unit referred to as the Côte d'Ivoire Complex. The Bonikro mining licence contains the Bonikro pit, process plant, associated tailings and waste storage, administration, accommodation, workshops and warehouses. The Hiré mining licence contains Akissi-So, Assondji So, Chapelle, Agbalé, Assondji So West, Assondji So Marais and Assondji So South pits, waste storage and mining infrastructure, and is approximately 15 km south east of Bonikro.

Bonikro has produced over 1.51 Moz since production began in 2008. Mining is currently in progress at the Bonikro open pit and the Agbalé open pit at Hiré.

Bonikro is located 100 km by road south of the capital city of Côte d'Ivoire, Yamoussoukro, in the Gôh-Djiboua District of Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa. The commercial centre of Abidjan lies on the coast, 214 km by road a journey of about four hours. Most of the highway from Abidjan is excellent, as it is the road link to the capital at Yamoussoukro.

The majority of personnel are sourced from the local community with senior Ivorian staff typically travelling from Abidjan and expatriate staff flying in and out of Abidjan.

Bonikro has a subequatorial climate characterized by four seasons: a long rainy season from April to July; a short dry season from August to September, a short rainy season from October to November, and a long dry season from December to March. The annual average rainfall is 1,249 mm, with annual totals ranging between 900 mm to 1,600 mm. Bonikro operates year-round with limited safety-related disruptions to open pit operations during short-term, high rainfall events. Average annual temperatures range from 24<sup>o</sup>C to 28<sup>o</sup>C, with slightly lower temperatures recorded during the wet season. Average annual relative humidity is 82%, with average monthly relative humidity ranging between 70% to 90%.

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Bonikro has been operating since 2008 and Allied acquired its interest in the operation during 2019. The Bonikro Mine comprises two mining licences:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Bonikro Licence (PE32) encompasses an area of 37.12 km<sup>2</sup>, is due for renewal on January 15, 2025 and is held by Bonikro Gold Mine SA ("**BGM**"), of which Allied owns 89.89%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The Hiré Licence (PE44) encompasses an area of 195.5 km<sup>2</sup>, is due for renewal on December 17, 2029 and is held by Hiré Gold Mine SA ("**HGM**"), of which Allied owns 89.80%.

The government of Côte d'Ivoire holds a 10% shareholding in each of BGM and HGM, with a local minority shareholder owning 0.11% of BGM and 0.20% of HGM.

Exploration is ongoing on the Dougbafla (Oumé) exploration licences (PR843 and PR847) which are 100% owned by Allied's subsidiary, Afrique Gold Exploration SARL. PR843 was renewed on June 10, 2025. PR847 is in the process of being renewed and is still valid according to the Mining Code. A technical study is in progress as for advancing the Oumé Deposits (Dougbafla West, Central and North) towards production.

The surface rights for mining of the Oumé Deposit still need to be purchased.

Economic development parameters are governed by Mining Conventions for the Bonikro and Hiré exploitation permits which are valid until May 2, 2027 and April 6, 2028, respectively. The government revenue royalty or *ad valorem* tax percentage in Côte d'Ivoire is based on a sliding scale dependent on the gold price and is applied on the net revenue from mine sales less deduction of transport costs (free on board) and refining costs (e.g. 4% at $1600/oz and 5% at $2000/oz).

HGM has a royalty agreement with Gold Mining Consulting International Corp for gold production from the Hiré mining licence at 1% of the gross smelter return.

A net smelter return royalty is paid to a joint venture of Elemental Altus Royalties and AlphaStream Capital. The royalty rate is variable based on gold price and is 4.5% when prices are at or above $1,450/oz. The royalty is applicable only to the specifically defined Pushback 5 pit and is capped 560,000 oz. The royalty was originally granted to Newcrest Mining as part of the acquisition cost of the mine prior to Allied ownership.

The Bonikro Stream was put in place in 2019, which applies to the gold production from the Bonikro and Hiré licences, including any future production from the Dougbafla exploration licence. For the first 650 koz of gold production, 6% will be purchased at $400/oz, which reduces to 3.5% for the next 650 koz of gold and 2% thereafter. At December 31, 2025, 585 koz of gold had been produced while the Bonikro Stream has been in place.

<u>History</u>

The Bonikro Mine has produced over 1.5 Moz since start up in 2008, at an average production of 100 koz/y.

Gold mineralization in the general area was historically exploited by artisanal miners. Exploration was intermittently conducted in the greater Hiré and Bonikro area by French, British and Canadian interests since the 1970s and by BHP Minerals from 1988 to 1994. In August 1996, Equigold NL ("**Equigold**") carried out a series of soil geochemistry and drilling programs which outlined numerous gold targets, most notably at Bonikro and Dougbafla. Tenure was subsequently secured over Hiré in 1999.

In 2006, Equigold completed a feasibility study on the Bonikro gold deposit. Construction of the mine commenced in May 2007 with the first gold poured on 6 October 2008 following commissioning of the 2.0 Mt/y processing facility. Equigold merged with Lihir Gold Ltd in 2008 and Lihir Gold Ltd was acquired by Newcrest Mining Ltd in September 2010.

Debottlenecking and minor upgrades progressively increased the plant capacity to 2.5 Mt/y. Mine production at Hiré commenced in 2015. In 2017, Newcrest Mining Ltd sold its 89.9% stake in the project to Forbes & Manhattan of Canada, who in turn sold 52% of its interest in the project to Allied in May 2019 and the remaining 48% interest in September 2019.

<u>Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types</u>

The deposits that comprise the Bonikro Mine complex lie within the Birimian Baoulé-Mossi Domain, associated with the Oumé-Féttékro greenstone belt. The greenstone belt extends approximately 300 km along strike, parallel to the north-northeast trending regional structural grain. The southern part of the greenstone belt hosts the Bonikro, Hiré, Agbaou and Dougbafla gold deposits.

The Bonikro Deposit gold mineralization occurs as gold-bearing sheeted quartz veins within the faulted Bonikro porphyritic granodiorite intrusion. The intrusion is intersected by a northeast striking shear

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 100 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

zone. The gold mineralization shares several characteristics with intrusion-related gold deposits, but this has likely been overprinted by orogenic-style gold mineralization related to regional structure reactivation. Gold mineralization tends to concentrate along younger faults that locally displace the contacts of the intrusion and within the intrusion. Molybdenum is a common occurrence in the quartz veins.

The Hiré mineralization occurs as multiple brittle structures within a much older granitoid, the Kan River Gneiss. The gold mineralized structures at Akissi-So, Agbalé, Chapelle and Assondji-So occur as narrow tabular quartz-rich lodes muscovite-sericite-chlorite-pyrite alteration. Akissi-So is 1 km long, comprises two discrete en-echelon lodes that strike north-east and dip steeply north-west, extends down dip for 300m and has three offsetting, often gold-bearing, east-west faults along its length. Agbalé is made up of several sub-parallel brittle structures trending in a similar orientation and structural setting as Akissi-So. Chapelle comprises two groups of sub-vertical structures at an acute angle to one another, over 2 km in length and variably up to 2-8 m in width. Strike is east-west or north-north-east. Mineralization is developed along the length of the structures concentrating near and at the intersection of the structures. Assondji-So consists of an intersecting set of NNE-SSW and NE-SW fault zones that extend under the town of Hiré. Additional East-West gold-bearing structures have been delineated by 2025 drilling and are open along strike and dip.

The Oumé mineralization consists of an array of subvertical mineralized veins hosted in a meta-basaltic andesites sequence intruded by dacitic and tonalitic dykes hosted within faults and at the margins of an intrusive that rheologically focused fluid flow. Gold mineralization occurs in strongly altered steep west dipping to vertical (75°) North-East striking (030°) faults, and along the intrusive contacts of the dacitic and tonalitic dykes.

<u>Exploration</u>

All targets in the Hiré and Bonikro licences were known resources or prospects at the time Allied took control of the exploitation leases. Allied's exploration initially focused on near mine opportunities and is now expanding to the rest of the land package mainly east of the Chapelle zone, southeast of Assondji So and west along strike of Akissi So and east and west of the Oumé Deposit (formerly known as Dougbafla). Follow-up drilling will also be prioritized over the Ditula Prospect which is located 2 km southwest of the Hiré Mine lease and one of the better oxide gold targets on Allied's Property.

Ongoing drilling at Oumé (also known as the Dougbafla prospects) have led to a reserve of 585,000 ounces of gold in 15.05 million tonnes at a grade of 1.21 g/t. This reflects the exploration strategy to advance the conversion of Inferred Resources at Oumé to better define the mineralization controls and model. Drilling activities will continue at Oumé, including extensional drilling at Oumé North to the northeast where the deposit is still open.

These efforts are part of a broader strategy to extend the strategic mine life in Côte d'Ivoire to over 10 years, aiming for a 2 million ounce reserve that could support annual production of 180,000-200,000 gold ounces at reduced costs. To support this aim, $4.4 million is allocated for total exploration spending at Bonikro in the first half of 2026.

The Bonikro Deposit has been extensively explored, with historical drilling between 1999 and March 2020, comprising of 1,245 holes totaling 118,239 metres. Building on this dataset, Allied Gold has between 2020 and 2021 completed additional resource drilling consisting of 150 (RC) holes for 16,706 metres and 75 diamond-drill (DD) holes totaling 17,715 metres. Four geotechnical holes have been drilled for 797 metres from December 2023 to January 2024. The use of diamond core holes allowed structural orientations to be obtained which supported and enhanced mineralization and geological interpretations.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 101 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

On the Oumé license a total of 654 holes for 93,789 m have been drilled by Allied. In detail, 271 diamond holes for 55,050 m and 384 RC and RCD holes for 39,739 m have been completed.

A total 2,056 holes for 151,821 m have been drilled on the Hiré license. In detail, 210 diamond holes for 32 447m, 1 202 RC and RCD holes for 99,982 m and 645 AC/RC holes for 19,391 m have been drilled.

<u>Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification</u>

Dry RC sampling involves three-stage riffle splitting of the field samples which are collected over 1 m intervals. A three-stage riffle split provides a representative sample of 2.0 kg to 2.5 kg for laboratory submission and analysis. The cyclone is cleaned at the end of each rod and hole, and the splitter is thoroughly cleaned between samples. Wet samples are left until close to dry and then processed in the splitter, which is cleaned between samples. Wet RC drilling is avoided – once 3m of continuously wet drilling has been intersected the hole is abandoned and finished with a core tail.

The sampling of DD core follows the Allied protocol to preserve the orientation line on the half core that is not sampled; the same side of the core is taken for assay. Generally, 1 m samples were obtained though minimum and maximum sample intervals are 0.5 m and 1.5 m.

Samples are given sequential numbers down any given hole and placed in labelled bags. These are collected from the drill collars, with geology logs entered into the database and delivered to the laboratory.

The preparation process comprises drying, crushing and pulverizing to 85% passing 75 μm. Allied continues to use the sample preparation protocol used at Bonikro and Hiré since 1999. Sample analysis uses a 50 g fire assay with atomic absorption spectroscopy finish, with an appropriate certified reference material sample every 20 samples plus blanks and duplicates.

The laboratories used for sample analysis of the exploration drilling are independent of Allied. Grade control uses bottle roll assays at the Bonikro mill lab and these have been included in the resource, affecting the mined volume of the historic pit.

SGS Ghana Limited ("**SGS**") was principally used for sample preparation and assaying up until 2002, then with Transworld Laboratories Companies Inc. used from 2002 to 2004. SGS was then re-engaged until 2013 with Bureau Veritas Laboratories in Côte d'Ivoire used from 2013 to 2019. No umpire laboratory was nominated to undertake check assays over this period.

During 2019-2020 samples were delivered to MSA Laboratories in Yamoussoukro. Preparation was via a Boyd crusher-rotary split divider combination, pulverizing the sub-sample in an LM2 pulverizer and analysis by fire assay on 50 g charges with an Atomic Absorption Spectrometry finish. From 2020, Allied changed laboratories from MSA to Bureau Veritas (ISO14001) in Abidjan. In 2023, Allied instigated the use of CRISOS photon assays on 500g charges of crushed sample at the MSA Laboratories Yamoussoukro facility. To date this has only been the case for samples from the Oumé deposit.

Umpire assays are air freighted to ALS Global (ISO17025) in Perth. Umpire samples replicate well the certified reference materials and subset of mineral resource sample values.

Allied has maintained QA/QC management of samples received from Bureau Veritas, MSA and the Bonikro mine laboratories. Database managers review all assays as they arrive from the laboratories to judge their suitability for addition to the database. After the initial validation, assay certificates are imported into the database using Fusion software. Each month, assays received are summarized in a

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 102 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

monthly QAQC report generated by the QAQC Manager. Assay samples are quarantined until fully vetted for QA/QC.

<u>Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing</u>

Seven metallurgical testwork programs have been undertaken since the Bonikro process plant was operational. The results have been used to optimize operating conditions for current and future ores.

During 2014 and 2015, recoveries of 94.5% were being achieved from Bonikro at 2.0 Mt/y and 130 µm P80 grind size. Beginning in 2017, the target grind size was increased to 190 µm to increase throughput to 2.5 Mt/y, with recoveries reducing to 87% with the Hiré ores being added to the feed.

Plant performance data was reviewed to assess the achieved recoveries and throughput for comparison with estimated parameters. The key observations are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Average throughput was 304 t/h, equivalent to 2.43 Mt/y.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Grind size P80 averaged 190 µm with high variability in grind size until May 2021, when cyclone improvements were implemented.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gold recoveries averaged 89%, with lead nitrate added for Chapelle ores and liquid oxygen supplementing the oxygen plant since November 2021.

<u>Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates</u>

The Mineral Resource estimate presented herein are based on block models generated during late 2024 (Bonikro Pit) and 2025 (Hiré and Oumé deposits). The resource estimation work was completed by Ms. Chelsey Protulipac, P.Geo, as a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101.

The Mineral Resources have been estimated conforming with CIM Standards and are reported in accordance with NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

The Mineral Resource estimation prepared for the Bonikro Mine Complex consists of estimation of the Bonikro Pit deposit, the four Hiré Deposits (Akissi So, Agbalé, Chapelle and Assondji-So), and the Oumé deposit.

At Bonikro, a three-dimensional litho-structural model was generated in Leapfrog, considering lithology, structure, RQD, mine geology pit maps as well as a map and interpretation prepared by a consultant in 2019. The volcano-sediments (basalt dominant and metasediment dominant terranes) and granodiorite intrusion were modelled, along with faults that locally displace the granodiorite intrusion volume. The use of structural surfaces in Leapfrog, activating the modelled faults, produced a faulted intrusion framework that is a key control to the distribution of the gold mineralization.

For the Hiré deposits, the mineralization was modelled as steeply dipping tabular lodes, considering all exploration and production data, and pit mapping, where available.

At Oumé, a lithology model was developed, with emphasis on modelling the dacitic to tonalite intrusions. A complex mineralization framework was constructed using structural measurements and alteration logging, considering the constraints and orientations of the intrusion contacts.

A weathering profile covering each deposit area was modelled based on core logging and validated with field observations and checking the core photos database. For each deposit, a saprolite

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 103 \| Page

------

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

(completely oxidized), a transitional unit, and the upper limit of the fresh rock surface were modelled in 3D and exported as surfaces to code the block model.

For all deposits, domain solids and flagged assay intervals were exported from Leapfrog Geo software, and Datamine Studio RM was used to prepare assay data for geostatistical analysis, construct the block model, estimate metal grades, and tabulate mineral resources. The Geostatistical Software Library (GSLib) suite of software was used for geostatistical analysis, variography, and model validation. The GEOVIA Whittle module was used to generate an optimized pit shell to constrain mineral resources.

Assays were composited to a common support of 2 meters, with typically >=97% of the assay intervals having a length <=2m. Residual lengths were distributed equally among composites within a flagged string of data. Capping was applied to composites, as required, considering probability plots, capping sensitivity analyses, and reviewing the spatial distribution of outliers. Capping was evaluated by domain, on average, at the 99th percentile and with an average metal loss of 5%. Where available, grade control data was included in the informing data, while blastholes were excluded.

A volumetric block model was established with a parent cell size of 10m x 10m x 5m, allowing minimum sub-cells of 0.5m in all directions to honour the geometries of the mineralization domains, lithology and weathering surfaces coded into the block model.

Experimental variograms, each considering only data within a unique domain, were calculated and then modelled using GSLIB suite of tools. The variogram model was used to constrain maximum search neighbourhood distances and anisotropy. Search neighbourhood parameters were established considering the data configuration, parent block, and geostatistical anisotropic ratios. A selection of search neighbourhood sensitivities were run on selected domains to ensure that the parameters were robust and suitable. Three gradually relaxed search passes were established to optimize the estimation at different data spacing configurations.

An Ordinary Kriging algorithm was used to estimate a gold value into each parent block using Datamine Studio RM. The block estimations were validated visually in 3D and on sections and plans compared to the informing data. The estimations were validated statistically by comparing the basic statistics of the naïve and de-clustered composites to that of the estimated grades, by swath analysis, and change of support checks.

Bulk density was encoded into each block, considering both the weathering profile and lithology model, based on specific gravity measurements obtained by using a standard weight in water/weight in air methodology on split drill core. An average density specific to these constraints was applied to these volumes, given the low coefficient of variation of these datasets.

The block models were validated through visual comparison of estimated grades against informing composites on plans, sections, and three-dimensional views, a statistical comparison of estimated block grades to the naïve and de-clustered capped composite population, and volume variance checks. Where available, reconciliation with production annual production data as well as statistical and visual validation against proximal blasthole data.

Mineral Resources were constrained by a topographic surface updated with December 2025 end-of-month surveys. Mineral Resource classification was based on data quality, geological confidence, drilling density, geostatistical support demonstrating continuity above cut-off grade, and is linked to estimation pass and variogram ranges.

Mineral Resources are reported within an optimized open-pit shell generated using site-specific technical and economic assumptions consistent with Mineral Reserve reporting and a gold price of US$2,300 per ounce.

For the Mineral Reserves estimates of Bonikro (and Hiré), economic parameters were provided by Allied Gold Corp., including the gold price, refining, and royalties. Operating costs were based on the current mining contract and the Budget 2025. Metallurgical recoveries were obtained from Site operations and Budget 2025. For Oumé, economic parameters included mining contract quotation and metallurgical test work completed at Bonikro where the ore is expected to be processed.

The estimates were prepared by Mr. Esteban Chacon Meynard, Chilean Accreditation Commission for Competences in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101, in accordance with CIM Standards and CRIRSCO Standards.

Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101.

The Mineral Reserve reflects the portion of the Mineral Resource which can be economically extracted by open pit methods, and considers the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the project. The Proven Mineral Reserve estimate is the economically mineable portion of the Measured Mineral Resource. The Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable portion of the Indicated Mineral Resource.

Maptek Vulcan and Dassault Systems Whittle mining software were used for reserve evaluation. Based on the configuration of the mineralization, dilution was applied based on a minimum mining width according to mining parameters and then applying 1.0 meter of dilution allowance to the hanging wall and footwall of each of the mineralized domains. Mineable volumes based on this selective mining unit were created using Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), then used to generate a diluted sub-celled MSO model. Mineable volumes were created using Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), then used to generate a diluted sub-celled MSO model. Pit optimization using the MSO model was carried out using a base gold price of $2,000/oz for Bonikro and Hiré, with the selected pit shells using a revenue factor of 1.00. For Oumé, base gold price of $2300/oz was used for Oumé for pit optimization using a revenue factor of 1.00. Mineral Reserves were reported using cut-off grades informed by a $2,000/oz gold price and vary from 0.46 to 0.69 g/t gold for different ore types due to differences in recoveries, costs for ore processing, and ore haulage.

Allied is not aware of any metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, and other relevant issues that could impact the Mineral Resource estimate or the Mineral Reserve estimation at Bonikro. Please also refer to "Description of the Business – Risk Factors – Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources".

<u>Mining Operations</u>

The Bonikro, Akissi-So, Agbalé and Chapelle pits are existing operations which are mined using mechanised open pit mining method Caterpillar 6015 and 6030 excavators and Caterpillar 777 haul trucks

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 105 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

(90 t class). The mining operation converted from owner-operated to contract mining in July 2022. A new mining contract was signed in November 2024 with MOTA-ENGIL.

The mining operating methodology used is open cut mining on 10 m benches and flitched off at 4 m increments with a top flitch of 2 m and including the heave from blasting on waste and 2 to 2.5 m in ore.

The pit designs involve extending existing pits within stages. The Bonikro pit is being developed in three stages to provide earlier access to ore, to a final depth of 350 m.

Design pit slopes are based on geotechnical assessments by SRK, Allied and George Orr and Associates as well as historical pit slope behaviour. Haul roads widths are based on Caterpillar 777 trucks with 25 m provided for two-way ramps and 15 m for single lane ramps.

The production schedule is based on mining the Bonikro and Agbalé pits supported with supplementary feed from the Bonikro low grade stockpile. The LOM plan schedules a total material movement of 9.0 Mt of ore and 87.2 Mt of waste for 96.2 Mt total material movement. The average strip ratio (waste t:ore t) is 9.7 over the LOM. Mining continues until 2031, after which the process feed is sourced from low grade stockpiles until early 2032. Overall, the LOM schedule mines about 22 Mt/y of rock in 2026, reducing thereafter as sufficient ore is exposed to deliver 2.5 Mt/y of ore to the Bonikro mill. The processing rate is maintained at 2.5 Mt/y until early 2030 with low grade stockpiles supplementing open pit ore.

<u>Processing and Recovery Operations</u>

The Bonikro process plant is a conventional CIL gold plant constructed in 2008 with a nameplate capacity of 2.0 Mt/y. Debottlenecking in 2017 has resulted in an upgraded capacity to 2.5 Mt/y.

The Bonikro ore can be classed as free milling at a P80 grind size of 190 microns and a high free gold content supporting the inclusion of gravity recovery within the flowsheet. The flowsheet consists of secondary crushing, single stage semi autogenous grinding, gravity recovery, primary leach followed by CIL and pumping the tailings to the TSF. Gravity concentrate is intensively leached in a strong cyanide solution with electrowinning of gold. Loaded carbon is acid washed, eluted and regenerated with gold being electrowon prior to smelting into doré.

<u>Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities</u>

*Infrastructure*

The Bonikro Mine has been operating since 2008 and has sufficient support infrastructure to continue to operate at the current production level.

Mine infrastructure at Bonikro comprises the main office block, administration offices, security and medical building, process plant and vehicle workshops, storerooms and an assay laboratory. Mine support facilities have also been established at Hiré to support the satellite mining operation. A 15 km haul road links Hiré to the Bonikro plant.

Power is supplied to a substation at Hiré from the national grid via a 90 kV regional power line from a hydroelectric power station at Taabo Dam, some 23 km to the east of Hiré. The Hiré substation, located adjacent to the Akissi-So Pit, has two outgoing feeders, a 90 kV supply to the Agbaou Mine to the south and a 33 kV supply line to Bonikro plan, running parallel to the Hiré-Bonikro haul road.

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

The existing TSF is a single cell valley-fill facility that has been in operation since 2008 and is approximately 1 km from the Bonikro process plant. The TSF is formed by the main embankment on the north side and saddle dams on the east, west and south sides. Tailings are discharged into the TSF by sub-aerial deposition methods, using a combination of spigots at regularly spaced intervals from the north, east and west embankments, forming a supernatant pond at the South Embankment. The TSF surface area is approximately 200 ha.

The unlined TSF has predominantly been built using downstream construction techniques. Knight Piesold was appointed Engineer of Record in July 2020. In 2021 Knight Piésold updated the dam break assessment which showed a dam failure consequence category of 'HIGH C', based on ANCOLD Consequence Category. The most recent annual audit was conducted in December 2023 by Knight Piésold with no material items identified.

A review of tailings geochemistry from the Bonikro TSF was undertaken in 2016 by Graeme Campbell and Associates and confirmed that the tailings were Non-Acid Forming. There were some elevations of molybdenum and fluoride in the decant waters, but these elevations have not been reflected in seepage water which is intercepted in trenches and pumped back to the TSF.

The Bonikro eastern waste dump will be expanded to the west and cover two of the existing water storage dams. A new dam, the Pit Diversion Dam, will be constructed to divert excess water into an adjacent drainage system. Waste geochemical testwork shows low risk of acid formation with the Bonikro waste potentially releasing molybdenum above guideline levels albeit that existing monitoring data shows that the risk is expected to be low.

*Permitting and Compliance*

Permits are in place for the existing operation.

Key environmental and social management plans are implemented on site, which includes environmental and social management (including monitoring), waste management, local development (developed in collaboration with local development committees ("CDLM")), mine closure, emergency response, and stakeholder engagement. These plans are supported by various procedures which form part of the HSEC management system.

The Company has established processes for land access or acquisition, and associated compensation. Temporary access for exploration activities is addressed as and when required.

Company contributions to the CDLM are set by the respective Mining Conventions.

<u>Capital and Operating Cost Estimates</u>

The capital cost estimate covers the activities required to enable Bonikro to continue at a production rate of 2.5 Mt/y until the Bonikro Mineral Reserves are depleted.

Total life of mine capital costs for the 6-year mine life are estimated at $77.1 million at ±15% accuracy. The main components of the capital costs cover $12.9 million for TSF raises, $3.9 million per year for general sustaining capital provisions and $41.0 million for mine closure and redundancy

Mining costs represent 45% of the operating costs and are based on the existing mining contract. Load and haul and drill and blast costs were calculated for the range of materials encountered by bench. Mining costs at $4.91/t rock are relatively high due to the deep mining stages of the Bonikro pit.

Processing costs represent 22% of the operating costs, with fixed costs at $11.5 million per year and average variable costs at $9.98/t. At the target throughput of 2.5 Mt/y, the processing costs are estimated at $15.65/t.

The LOM G&A operating cost estimates are included at $27 million/y based on historical performance, forecast manning, includes regional G&A but excludes corporate allocations.

Royalty costs represent 15% of the operating costs based on existing agreements described under "*Property Description, Location and Access*":

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variable government royalty: 4.0% to 5.0% (dependent on gold price)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Community Development royalty: 0.5%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Newcrest Bonikro royalty: 4.5%

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Hiré royalty: 1.0%

Selling costs are estimated at $8.77/oz based on current contracts.

<u>Exploration, Development and Production</u>

Drilling is ongoing at the Hiré and Oumé prospects. For Hiré, the objective is to extend known mineralization trends along strike and test for an increased inventory of oxides to be fed to Agbaou. These

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 108 \| Page

targets include Chapelle East, Assondji-So, Assondji-So West and Marais and Akissi-So. For Oumé, which covers the Dougbafla claims and prospects and is near the town of Oumé, located 15 km northwest of the Bonikro process plant, exploration continues to explore for extensions to the mineralized zones to the northeast and southwest as well as to continue to upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources into Indicated Mineral Resources.

***Agbaou Mine***

<u>Property Description, Location and Access</u>

Agbaou is located 100 km by road south of the capital Yamoussoukro, in the Gôh-Djiboua District of Côte d'Ivoire in West Africa. The commercial centre Abidjan lies on the coast 214 km by road to the southeast, which is a road journey of about four hours. A sealed highway links Abidjan to the regional capital of Divo, a distance of about 180 km. From Divo to Hiré, the 40 km, road surface has recently been upgraded and re-sealed. The area of the Agbaou Mine is 334 km<sup>2</sup>. The Agbaou Mine is located 20 km from the Bonikro Mine. The majority of personnel are sourced from the local community with senior Ivorian staff typically travelling from Abidjan and expatriate staff flying in and out of Abidjan.

The area has a subequatorial climate characterized by four seasons: a long rainy season from April to July; a short dry season from August to September, a short rainy season from October to November, and a long dry season from December to March. The annual average rainfall is 1,196 mm, with annual totals between 900 mm to 1,600 mm. Agbaou operates year-round with limited disruption to open pit operations during short-term, high rainfall events. Average annual temperatures range from 24° to 28°C, with slightly lower temperatures recorded during the wet season. Average annual relative humidity is 82%, with average monthly humidity fluctuating between 70% and 90%.

The Agbaou Exploitation Permit (PE 37) was granted on August 1, 2012 and renewed on August 1, 2022 for 10 years by Agbaou Gold Operations SA ("**AGO**"). Allied owns 85% of AGO, the government of Côte d'Ivoire owns 10% while SODEMI, the State-owned mining development company, owns 5%.

The AGO Mining Convention took effect on March 13, 2013 and was valid until July 31, 2022. An updated Convention is being finalized at the time of reporting. The Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy has confirmed the tax and customs benefits granted in the Convention apply while the renewal process is underway. The Company expects that the following agreed economic development parameters will be re-instated:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The government revenue royalty or *ad valorem* tax percentage is based on a sliding scale and is applied on the net revenue of gold sales which is 4% from $1,301 to $1,600/oz and 5% above $1,600/oz.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A community development fund royalty of 0.5% on the net revenue of gold sales for community development projects in nearby communities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A 25% corporate tax rate with standard deductions, including operating expenditure, royalties, selling costs and capital costs.

A net smelter royalty is paid to Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. The royalty rate is variable based on gold price, and is 2.5% when prices are at or above $1,400/oz. The royalty is capped at $50 million total payment. The royalty was originally granted to Endeavour as part of the acquisition cost of the mine.

The surface rights have been purchased and are sufficient for most of the proposed development and extraction of the Mineral Reserve. Costs for additional surface rights are included for waste storage and the mining of a pit stage.

<u>History</u>

The discovery of bedrock gold mineralization at Agbaou was made in the late 1980s. Significant exploration work was undertaken between 1994 and 2000 that included geochemical sampling, geophysics, RAB, RC and diamond drilling. Further exploration drilling programs were initiated from 2003 to 2011.

Endeavour acquired Agbaou in 2010 and commenced production in 2013 with commercial production achieved in January 2014. Allied purchased Endeavour's interest in Agbaou on March 1, 2021. The operation has produced over 1.54 Moz of gold, at an average production rate of about 137 koz/y.

<u>Geological Setting, Mineralization and Deposit Types</u>

The Agbaou deposit lies within the Birimian Baoulé-Mossi Domain, associated with the Oumé-Féttékro greenstone belt. The deposit is associated with folded greenschist facies mafic meta-volcanics and sediments. Mineralization concentrates locally along the north and south limbs of thrusted fold hinges.

Gold mineralization is hosted in corridors of quartz veins that occur along two primary, elongated zones following the trace of the two thrust faults that control the distribution of the lodes. Within the lodes, a range of vein types are observed along these corridors, including breccias and boudinage, sometimes described as "mottled", and with gold associated with sericite and carbonate alteration and varying amounts of sulfides (dominantly pyrite and pyrrhotite). Local flexures along the thrust and deformation zones are associated with higher grade mineralization.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 110 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

<u>Exploration</u>

From 2003, Etruscan Resources completed soil geochemistry and identified gold-in-soil anomalies at four targets: Agbaou, Agbaou Sud, Zeiga, Zehiri and Niafouta. Agbaou was subsequently drill tested and developed into a mining operation.

The Agbaou Deposit comprises in excess of 50 separate gold-bearing lenses that for the most part are open down dip/plunge, below the existing pits, which are commonly limited due to a dearth of deeper drilling versus the lack of deemed economic gold mineralization.

In 2025, exploration embarked on an approximately 35,000 m drill program to both convert ~200,000 ounces of Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated Mineral Resources and extend those same zones to depth. As of year-end 2025, this program was 52% complete with an end of Q1, 2026 targeted completion date for the drilling and an end of Q2, 2026 updated resource estimate. Replacement of Mineral Resources provides an inventory for future Mineral Reserves development. Allied's exploration is currently focused on areas in and around the Agbaou open pits to extend mineralization beneath and between the existing pits and into the surrounding property area, with the objective of further increasing mine life. In 2026, drilling is planned to test the Agbaou South Target and soil sampling is being carried out over the Agbaou West area.

<u>Drilling</u>

A total of 1,119 holes for 159,729 m have been drilled at Agbaou by Allied. In detail 295 diamond holes for 60,300 m and 826 RC and RCD holes for 99,492 m have been drilled.

<u>Sampling, Analysis and Data Verification</u>

Dry RC sampling involves three-stage riffle splitting of the drill samples which are collected over 1 m intervals. A three-stage riffle split provides a representative 2.0 kg to 2.5 kg sample for laboratory submission and analysis. The cyclone is cleaned at the end of each rod and hole, and the splitter is thoroughly cleaned between samples. Wet samples are left until mostly dry and the splitter is cleaned between samples. Allied stops RC drilling upon 3 continuous metres of wet samples and the hole is tailed with core.

The sampling of DD core follows a detailed protocol to preserve the orientation line on the half core that is not sampled; the other side of the core is taken for assay. Generally, 1 m samples were obtained, although minimum and maximum sample intervals are 0.62 m and 1.2 m respectively were collected from earlier core holes.

Samples are given sequential numbers down any given hole and placed in labelled bags. These are collected from the drill site, with geology logs entered into the Fusion database. Samples are delivered to the independent Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan (ISO45001).

The sample preparation process comprises drying, crushing through a Boyd jaw crusher with an RSD and pulverized to 85% passing 75 μm. Sample analysis is by a 50 g fire assay with an AAS finish. An appropriate QA/QC sample is inserted every 20 samples (standard, blank, coarse RC duplicate and a pulp duplicate).

The Bureau Veritas laboratory in Abidjan was also used by Endeavour with select samples sent to an umpire laboratory. Allied has continued to use Bureau Veritas Abidjan with umpire assays air freighted to ALS Global (ISO17025) in Perth, Australia. Umpire samples replicate well with the standards.

<u>Mineral Processing and Metallurgical Testing</u>

Several metallurgical testwork programs have been carried out on the Agbaou ores during pre-production and operations to optimize conditions. In 2022 a metallurgical testwork program was carried out to inform the LOM planning.

A review of the plant performance showed:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gold recoveries averaged 94% with tailings grades generally below 0.15 g/t, indicating free milling ore in oxide, transition and fresh ore types.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Increasing proportions of fresh ore in the feed blend have had minimal impact on gold recovery.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fresh ores exhibit harder characteristics, requiring more milling energy and therefore throughputs decline with higher proportion of fresh ore in feed.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Throughput rates vary between 2.6 Mt/y at 50% oxide feed to 3.3 Mt/y at 100% oxide feed.

<u>Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve Estimates</u>

The Mineral Resource estimate presented herein are based on block models generated in 2025. The mineralization modelling and resource estimation work was directly supervised by Ms. Chelsey Protulipac, P.Geo, as a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101.

The Mineral Resources have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in accordance with NI 43-101. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the Mineral Resources will be converted into Mineral Reserves.

The Mineral Resource estimation prepared for Agbaou is comprised of discrete rotated block models for the main trend (Agbaou North and Agbaou South) and Agbaou West.

A property scale three-dimensional litho-structural model was generated in Leapfrog, largely considering regional geological mapping and limited pit maps generated by consultants. As the majority of the subsurface dataset is limited to reverse-circulation drilling with limited diamond core, the utility of the chip logs to interpret lithology and structure is relatively limited.

A weathering profile covering each deposit area was modelled based on chip logging and validated with field observations. A saprolite (completely oxidized), a transitional weathered unit consisting of pervasive iron oxide staining, poor rock quality but not completely oxidized rock, and the upper limit of the fresh rock surface were modelled in 3D and exported as surfaces to code the block model.

The domain solids and flagged assay intervals were exported from Leapfrog Geo software, and Datamine Studio RM was used to prepare assay data for geostatistical analysis, construct the block model, estimate metal grades, and tabulate mineral resources. The Geostatistical Software Library (GSLib) suite of software was used for geostatistical analysis, variography, and model validation. The GEOVIA Whittle module was used to generate an optimized pit shell to constrain mineral resources.

Assays were composited to a common support of 2 meters, with >=98% of the assay intervals having a length <=2m. Residual lengths were distributed equally among composites within a flagged string of data. Capping was applied to composites, as required, considering probability plots, capping sensitivity analyses, and reviewing the spatial distribution of outliers. Capping was evaluated by domain, on average, at the 99th percentile and with an average metal loss of 5%. Where available, grade control data was included in the informing data. Unsampled intervals were managed based on campaign.

 <br> *Annual Information Form (Year Ended December 31, 2025)* 112 \| Page

![image_0a.jpg](image_0a.jpg)<br>

Unsampled grade control intervals were excluded, as were intervals from non-geological holes, all other unsampled intervals had a grade of 0 applied.

A volumetric block model was established with a parent cell size of 10m x 10m x 5m, allowing minimum sub-cells of 1m in all directions to honour the geometries of the mineralization domains, lithology and weathering surfaces coded into the block model.

Experimental variograms, each considering only data within a unique domain, were calculated and then modelled using GSLIB suite of tools. The variogram model was used to constrain maximum search neighbourhood distances and anisotropy. Search neighbourhood parameters were established considering the data configuration, parent block, and geostatistical anisotropic ratios. A selection of search neighbourhood sensitivities were run on selected domains to ensure that the parameters were robust and suitable. Three gradually relaxed search passes were established to optimize the estimation at different data spacing configurations.

An Ordinary Kriging algorithm was used to estimate a gold value into each parent block using Datamine Studio RM. The block estimations were validated visually in 3D and on sections and plans compared to the informing data.

Bulk density was encoded into each block, considering both the weathering profile and lithology model, based on specific gravity measurements obtained by using a standard weight in water/weight in air methodology on split drill core. An average density specific to these constraints was applied to these volumes and validated with tonnage factors applied at the operation.

The block models were validated through visual comparison of estimated grades against informing composites on plans, sections, and three-dimensional views, a statistical comparison of estimated block grades to the naïve and de-clustered capped composite population, and volume variance checks. Additionally, the model was reconciled against the annual production mill data with excellent agreement.

Mineral Resources were constrained by a topographic surface updated with December 2025 end-of-month surveys. Mineral Resource classification was based on data quality, geological confidence, drilling density, geostatistical support demonstrating continuity above cut-off grade, and is linked to estimation pass and variogram ranges.

Mineral Resources are reported within an optimized open-pit shell generated using site-specific technical and economic assumptions consistent with Mineral Reserve reporting and a gold price of US$2,300 per ounce.

For the Mineral Reserves estimates of Agbaou, economic parameters were provided by Allied Gold Corp., including the gold price, refining, and royalties. Operating costs were based on the current mining contract and the Budget 2025. Metallurgical recoveries were obtained from Site operations and Budget 2025.

The estimates were prepared by Mr. Esteban Chacon Meynard, Chilean Accreditation Commission for Competences in Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves, as a qualified person within the meaning of NI 43-101, in accordance with CIM Standards and CRIRSCO Standards.

Mineral Reserves have been estimated in accordance with the CIM Standards and are reported in compliance with NI 43-101.

The Mineral Reserve reflects the portion of the Mineral Resource which can be economically extracted by open pit methods, and considers the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the project. The Proven Mineral Reserve estimate is the economically mineable portion of the Measured Mineral Resource. The Probable Mineral Reserve is the economically mineable portion of the Indicated Mineral Resource.

For reserves evaluation, Maptek Vulcan and Dassault Systems Whittle mining software were used. Based on the configuration of the mineralization, dilution was applied based on a minimum mining width according to mining parameters and then applying 1.0 meter of dilution allowance to the hanging wall and footwall of each of the mineralized lodes. Mineable volumes based on this selective mining unit were created using Mineable Shape Optimizer (MSO), then used to generate a diluted sub-celled MSO model. Pit optimization using the MSO model was carried out using a base gold price of $2,000/oz was used for the pit optimization, with the selected pit shells using a revenue factor of 1.00. Mineral Reserves were reported using cut-off grades informed by a $2,000/oz gold price and vary from 0.43 to 0.55 g/t gold for different ore types due to differences in recoveries, costs for ore processing, and ore haulage.

Allied is not aware of any metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, and other relevant issues that could impact the Mineral Resource estimate or the Mineral Reserve estimation at Agbaou. Please also refer to "Description of the Business – Risk Factors – Uncertainty in the Estimation of Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources".

See "*Summary of Mineral Reserve and Resource Estimates*".

<u>Mining Operations</u>

Design pit slopes are based on geotechnical assessments by Golder, SRK, Allied and George, Orr and Associates as well as historical pit slope behaviour. Haul roads widths are based on Caterpillar 777 trucks with 25 m provided for two-way ramps and 14 m for single lane ramps.

The Agbaou pits are mined using contractor Komatsu PC2000 (210 t), Caterpillar 6015 (150 t) excavators, and Caterpillar 777 (90 t) haul trucks. The mining operating methodology is open cut mining on 10 m benches and flitched off at 2.5 m increments including the heave from blasting. Waste is taken to the designated waste dumps adjacent to each of the pit stages. Later in the mine life waste stripping will use 3.3 m flitches to maximize extraction of the waste.

The production schedule is balanced to mine approximately 20.8 Mt/y of rock in 2026-2028, with mining currently forecast to be complete in 2028.

<u>Processing and Recovery Operations</u>

The Agbaou process plant is a conventional CIL gold plant constructed in 2013 with 2.2 Mt/y realized from the treatment of oxide ore. In 2016 a plant expansion was carried out to increase production from the harder fresh ore. From 2018 to 2021 the plant was operating at an average 2.65 Mt/y (354 t/h) on blended feed (67% oxide and 33% fresh). In 2022 the plant treated 2.56 Mt (333 t/h) on a blended feed containing 22% fresh ore. DRA have completed an optional analysis study to further milling capacity to 350 t/h with a twin-stream comminution 100 t/h capable of milling harder rock, with improved process controls, which will help to shift the SAG mill power and weight towards its high limit and maximize the SAG mill feed.

The Agbaou ore can be classed as free milling with P80 grind size of 75 microns and a high free gold content. The flowsheet consists of secondary crushing, two stage grinding, gravity recovery and CIL. Gravity concentrate is intensively leached in a strong cyanide solution with electrowinning of gold. Loaded carbon is acid washed, eluted and regenerated with gold being electrowon prior to smelting into doré.

<u>Infrastructure, Permitting and Compliance Activities</u>

*Infrastructure*

The Agbaou Mine has been operating since 2013 and has sufficient supporting infrastructure to continue operating at the current production level. Existing infrastructure includes a water supply dam, mining services area, administration buildings, workshops, warehouses, laboratory and security.

The accommodation camp is approximately 2.7 km by road north of the process plant and has a capacity of 128 beds. The majority of the site personnel are Ivorian and live locally.

The site is connected to the Ivorian national electrical grid by a 15 km, 90 kV electrical transmission line from the Hiré substation.

*Tailings Storage Facility*

The TSF is a valley storage located 1 km north of the process plant site and comprises four multi-zoned earth filled embankments. The TSF has an underdrainage system and an emergency spillway on the eastern embankment.

Tailings are discharged into the TSF by sub-aerial deposition methods, using a combination of spigots at regularly spaced intervals from the south, east and west embankments, forming a supernatant pond at the north embankment. The TSF surface area is approximately 130 ha.

The unlined TSF has been built using downstream construction techniques. Knight Piésold, the Engineer of Record, has been involved with the TSF since project commencement. In March 2023 Knight Piésold updated the dam break assessment which showed a dam failure consequence category of 'HIGH B', based on ANCOLD Consequence Category and 'very high' under GISTM. The most recent annual audit was conducted in February 2026 by Knight Piésold with no material items identified from the dam safety inspection. The annual audit report is being finalized by Knight Piésold and is expected to be issued by the end of April 2026.

*Waste Rock Dumps*

Waste dumps are established in proximity to the existing pits. New waste dump sites have been identified with additional sterilization drilling required to confirm future locations. As a result of being constrained by the compensation boundary (surface rights), previous owners of the Agbaou operation elected to back-fill two pits with waste.

Waste geochemical testwork shows some potential for generation of acidic drainage but generally the neutralization potential of the samples was sufficient to mitigate this risk.

*Permitting and Compliance*

Permits are in place for the existing operation and the permitting process for further lifts of the existing TSF have commenced.

AGO has several key environmental and social plans implemented on site, which includes environmental and social management (including monitoring), waste management, local development (developed in collaboration with local CDLM, mine closure, emergency response, and stakeholder engagement). These plans are supported by various procedures which form part of the HSEC management system.

Company contributions to the CDLM are set by the respective Mining Convention.

<u>Capital and Operating Cost Estimates</u>

The capital cost estimate was developed to cover the activities required for the Agbaou operation to continue at a production rate of 1.6 Mt/y until the Mineral Reserves are depleted.

Total life of mine capital costs for the mine life are estimated at $63.6 million (at ±15% accuracy) as summarized in the table below. The main components of the capital costs cover $3.3 million of TSF raises, $28.2 million for general infrastructure, mining and plant; and $32.1 million for mine closure and redundancy provisions, before accounting for $6.2 million of mine closure (escrow) credits.

| Infrastructure | 20.74 |
| TSF | 3.29 |
| Mine Closure | 32.11 |
| **Total** | **63.63** |

---

Total operating costs for the mine life are estimated at $435.5 million, as summarized in the table below. Mining costs represent 52% of the operating costs and are based on the existing mining contract. Load and haul and drill and blast metrics were calculated for the range of materials encountered and were developed per bench for each of the deposits for use in the pit optimizations and mining schedules.

LOM mining costs are equivalent to $3.63/t rock as compared to $2.70/t rock for 2025; the higher mining costs are reflective of mining deeper parts of the orebody which incurs higher costs.

Processing costs represent 18% of the operating costs and are based on historical performance and 2025 pricing. Variable (reagents and consumables and power) contribute 71% of the process plant costs with 29% fixed which includes labour (17%), maintenance (12%). LOM processing costs at $16.07/t are higher than the 2025 costs at $10.6/t as more fresh ore will be treated over the remaining mine life.

The annual G&A operating cost estimate of $18 million/y is based on historical performance, forecast manning, maintenance schedules and excludes corporate allocations.

Royalty costs represent approximately 8.50% of the operating costs pursuant to existing agreements:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Variable government royalty of 4.0% to 5.0% (dependent on gold price).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Community Development royalty of 0.5%.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Endeavour royalty of 2.5% (now owned by Triple Flag Precious Metals).

<u>Exploration, Development and Production</u>

The Company is continuing to advance exploration activities to increase the mine life of Agbaou and is working on cost optimizations and the integration of Agbaou into one business unit with Bonikro.

*Tripartite Toll Treat Agreement*

A tripartite toll treatment agreement was approved in October 2023 to process ore from the three mineral endowments, Agbaou, Hiré and Bonikro between the Bonikro and Agbaou process plants.

**DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS**

Subject to statutory or legal requirements, as well as certain restrictions on amount of cash that may be distributed under the terms of the Credit Facility and the Wheaton Stream, there are no restrictions in the Company's articles or by-laws that would restrict or prevent the Company from paying dividends. Allied has developed a dividend philosophy that will provide shareholders with cash returns in the form of a dividend based on free cash flow as free cash flows increase which is expected following expenditure of development capital in support of growth. In the immediate period of growth over the next few years, Allied anticipates that cash flow along with proceeds from the Company's financings in 2025 will be re-invested in the development and growth of the business, with dividends anticipated to be paid following this growth period.

The Board, from time to time, and on the basis of any earnings and the Company's financial requirements or any other relevant factor, will determine the future dividend policy of the Company with respect to its shares. Payment of any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board after taking into account many factors, including the Company's operating results, financial condition, comparability of the dividend yield to peer gold companies and current and anticipated cash needs.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HIGHLIGHTS AND RELEVANT UPDATES**

Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied", "Allied Gold" or the "Company") is a Canadian-based emerging senior gold producer with a portfolio of three operating gold mines, a significant gold development project, and exploration properties throughout Africa, located in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ethiopia. Allied plans to continue building on this base through expansion and optimization initiatives at existing operating mines, development of new mines, advancement of its exploration properties.

Allied is positioned for substantial growth, with a path to increase sustainable production to approximately 800,000 ounces by 2029. This robust growth trajectory, expected to drive a compounded and disproportionate increase in cash flows and profitability, is underpinned by the Company's exploration success and proven track record of reserve replacement and resource growth, notably at both Sadiola and the Côte d'Ivoire mines. Additionally, the Company benefits from low-risk, phased expansion projects that can be implemented quickly, such as the Kurmuk Project in Ethiopia currently under construction, and the Sadiola expansion project.

Allied is committed to the development of high-quality growth projects and delivering shareholder value and returns. This is achieved through investing in key operational improvements to enhance productivity, reduce costs, and increase cash flows. The aggregate ownership of management and Board members in the Company demonstrates strong alignment with shareholders and a firm commitment to value creation.

The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol AAUC. In addition, its publicly traded convertible debentures are listed on the TSX, trading in U.S. dollars under the symbol AAUC.DB.U.

**Operational, Earnings and Cash Flows Highlights:**

*For the three months ended December 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Quarterly production of 117,004 gold ounces, exceeding previously issued quarterly production guidance of 113,000 ounces and annual production guidance of above 375,000 ounces. Gold production for the fourth quarter was the highest of the year and was driven mainly by higher grades and higher ore output across all operations. The implied annualized production corresponding to the strong fourth quarter production is well above the Company's broader production outlook from its producing mines of 375,000 to 400,000 ounces of gold per annum, and demonstrates the growth potential of its operating assets which will be significantly supplemented once its Kurmuk mine is in production later this year. Fourth quarter production represents a 34% increase over the average production achieved during the first three quarters of 2025 and marks the highest quarterly production in the Company's history.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sales of 113,446 gold ounces, in line with production, with minor differences attributable to timing of shipments.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total cost of sales<sup>(4)</sup> of $1,942, cash costs<sup>(1)</sup> of $1,830, and All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC")<sup>(1)</sup> for the quarter of $1,980 per gold ounce. As previously guided, AISC<sup>(1)</sup> for the fourth quarter continued the trend of material reductions as a result of increased production, mining sequencing and operational improvements. This represents a reduction of over 5% over the AISC realized in the third quarter, despite higher royalties driven by higher average gold prices. The estimated gold price impact on fourth quarter AISC as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,145 versus an average of approximately $3,460 in the third quarter amounts to approximately $100 per ounce, implying a substantial gold-price-adjusted reduction in AISC of over $200 per ounce on a quarter-over-quarter basis. These results demonstrate a significant reduction in costs through 2025, net of gold price impacts, which is expected to continue into 2026. Further, as expected and guided, Bonikro's sustaining capital and AISC<sup>(1)</sup> continued to be impacted by capitalized stripping at PB5. Stripping activities conducted in 2025, will improve production and costs for upcoming years, as high grade ore will be exposed while significantly lower waste removal will be required.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $479.8 million. The Company has immediately available credit of $50.0 million (inclusive of a $10.0 million accordion) under its revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net cash generated from operating activities for the quarter was $189.3 million. Operating cash flows before income tax paid, government settlements and movements in working capital were a strong inflow of $227.1 million. Current period cash from operating activities was positively impacted by significantly higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. Working capital impact for the quarter is related to normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable, along with year-end accruals.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net Loss Attributable to the Shareholders to the Company ("Attributable Net Loss") for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.6 million or $(0.19) per share. Management believes that certain adjustments for items that may not be reflective of current and on-going operations are appropriate, and better reflect the underlying economic results. Adjustments include unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange, along with share-based compensation largely impacted by share price movements and certain tax adjustments. After these adjustments, the Company reports Adjusted Net Earnings<sup>(1)</sup> of $69.0 million or $0.56 per share. Details of the adjustments can be found in the Summary of Financial Results discussion below.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> and Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> for the for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $138.6 million and $204.6 million respectively. EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was impacted by unrealized mark-to-market losses on the Company's convertible debentures. The debentures will either be settled in cash at their face value at maturity, or converted at the pre-determined conversion ratio. The unrealized mark-to-market losses, which reflect fluctuations in the trading value of the publicly listed debentures, did not and will not result in cash outflows upon settlement above face value. Further, EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was impacted by remeasurements of contingent consideration. For consistency of showing underlying economic results, these losses are removed from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup>. The Company's strong Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> demonstrates its strong cash-flow generating ability and continued operational efficiency.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• At Kurmuk, the Company continues to track well against plan, both in terms of physical completion and spend, while achieving key milestones and progress during the fourth quarter of 2025.

The project is progressing well, with procurement and logistics of critical items substantially completed at year-end. The key focus during the quarter was on logistics for transporting equipment and materials to the site and ramping up steel and mechanical erection at the crushing circuit and the processing plant. Mining activities at Ashashire and Dish Mountain are progressing according to plan, with the objective of building at least three months worth of ore stockpiles to support the start of operations in mid-2026. Kurmuk continued mechanical activities throughout the first quarter, progressing the remaining earthworks at the tailings storage facility and haulage road, and advancing piping and electrical installation, other infrastructure, and ancillary facilities. The Ethiopian Electrical Power Company is advancing the power line construction, which is expected to be completed before commissioning. Pre-commissioning activities are planned to begin at the start of the second quarter, with the first gold expected in mid-2026.

Along with the advancement of engineering for 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 and Tsenge. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average processing capacity of up to 6.4 Mt/y. This increased flexibility is being incorporated into the project

execution, with subsequent modifications 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Over the last several years, the Company has been advancing a strategy of optimization and expansion at the Sadiola Gold Mine. Initial efforts focused on stabilizing the operation, primarily related to the existing processing capacity of mostly oxide ores, followed by a phased expansion to process fresh ores. The objective is to increase production and cash flows in both the short and long term.

On December 21, 2025, the Company announced that it commenced operations and began processing ore through the fresh ore comminution circuit installed pursuant to the Phase 1 expansion at Sadiola, marking a significant milestone in the transformational growth strategy for this long-life asset. The Phase 1 expansion is aimed at increasing production, reducing costs and materially increasing cash flows through a phased expansion approach. The Phase 1 mill ramped up in the first quarter of 2026, alongside the completion of ancillary systems and power-supply upgrades. Further optimizations to the processing circuit, including instrumentation and automation upgrades, are planned for execution this year. Together, these initiatives are expected to improve operating performance, enhance overall processing rates, and reduce reagent consumption incrementally.

The Company has been advancing studies to define the best strategy for the next phase of the mine's expansion. The initial conclusion of these studies was that adding a pre-leach thickener to the circuit allows the plant to process over 90% of the fresh ore in the feed, increasing operational flexibility and potentially increasing production. Given that a pre-leach thickener is required regardless of the selected expansion scenario, the Company decided to begin engineering and design in late 2025 to prepare for construction in 2026.

Allied concluded in the fourth quarter 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 build a new processing plant. 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 defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 Mt/y and 8 Mt/y. This strategy also allows the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, for further capital efficiency and returns. For 2026, the Company will advance the engineering and early works required for the 7 Mt/y step, together with the studies to increase recoveries, new tailings dam construction and solar farm earthworks and mobilization.

The total capital expenditures for the 7 Mt/y step of the processing plant are estimated at approximately $200 million, including engineering and construction of a permanent two-stage crushing plant and a grinding mill in the second line of the Sadiola plant, which are planned to be developed between late 2026 and late 2028. The subsequent 8 Mt/y and 9 Mt/y per year steps consist of adding a permanent tertiary crushing circuit and wet plant upgrades, respectively, and could be executed sequentially or concurrently, along with related expansions to power generation and ancillary facilities.

At the 7 Mtpa throughput, the plant configuration will include the existing Stage 1 three-stage crushing circuit operating in parallel with a new two-stage crushing circuit. Downstream, the comminution circuit will comprise two parallel milling circuits (Stage 1 and a new mill already owned by the Company), producing a final grind of P80 75 μm. The remainder of the flowsheet will include a pre-leach thickener, pre-oxidation, cyanidation, and carbon adsorption, utilizing the existing facilities and remaining consistent with the general processing path defined for Sadiola in the previous technical work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** As previously disclosed, 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, initially installing additional state-of-the-art diesel generators and control systems, followed by the implementation of a hybrid power solution, with the deployment of more efficient 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. The systems will then be scaled up to satisfy the energy needs of the next phase expansion, providing Sadiola with a flexible power solution capable of meeting its ultimate power needs, while being self-reliant, efficient and cost-effective. Please refer to the *Sadiola Energy Program* section for further details.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A total of 40,503 metres of exploration drilling in 265 holes were completed over the Company's project areas in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire and Ethiopia during the fourth quarter of 2025. For the year, the Company completed 2,025 exploration and sterilization holes totalling 206,833 metres. This investment towards ongoing programs is designed to maintain current mineral resources, with a continuing short-term bias to define additional oxide gold resources at Sadiola and in Côte d'Ivoire, increase

Inferred Mineral Resources and deliver opportunities to further maintain and increase the mineral resources at all three sites to meet long term resource goals. Drilling activities were also carried out to support on-going operations including sterilization drilling and short-term model validation work.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• As of December 31, 2025, Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves were reported at 11.2 million ounces of gold, contained within 247.1 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. This represents a net year-over-year increase, reflecting the addition of new Mineral Reserves, replacing depletion from 2025 production, and updates to economic and design assumptions. Total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources stood at 15.3 million ounces of gold, contained within 336.7 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. The modest decrease from 2024 is primarily attributable to the recategorization of some Indicated Mineral Resources to Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources, at year-end totalled 2.1 million ounces contained within 54.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.20 g/t.

**Financing and Corporate Development Highlights:**

***Transaction with Zijin Gold***

Having been advised by Zijin Gold International Company Limited ("Zijin Gold") in January that their formal and detailed diligence and internal approval processes had been completed, and that Zijin Gold wished to proceed with a transaction which was in line with the Company's value expectations, the Company engaged in full negotiation on price and terms of a possible transaction. On January 26, 2026, following several weeks of detailed negotiations, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement" or the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Zijin Gold, a public company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, had agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allied Gold (the "Transaction") at a price of C$44 per share (the "Offer Price") in cash, pursuant to the terms of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement). The Board determined that the offer immediately achieved fair value realization while mitigating business risks, particularly in highly volatile markets, and Zijin Gold had demonstrated a strong track record of long-term asset stewardship and consequently, there was a suspension of the other strategic opportunities.

The en bloc equity value of the Company, taking into account the implied total value of the assets of the Company and cash on hand, pursuant to the Arrangement is approximately C$5.5 billion based on Allied Gold's common shares outstanding and the offer price to shareholders, realizing a significant, certain and immediate value for Allied Gold shareholders.

Benefits of the Arrangement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The strong fundamental value of Allied Gold, underpinned by two tier-one, generational mines with imminent and significant growth, positioning it as a differentiated asset base, has been validated by the Zijin Gold transaction, and is clearly reflected in the transaction terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Immediate and significant premium of approximately 27% to the 30-day volume-weighted average share price on the TSX prior to the announcement of the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consideration represents an all-time high for Allied's common share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All-cash offer that is not subject to a financing condition and that provides shareholders with immediate liquidity, crystallizing significant and certain value amid extreme volatility in gold prices, and reducing exposure to broader market volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strong deal certainty with a highly credible and leading global mining company as purchaser with the financial resources necessary to complete the Arrangement and a demonstrated track record of completed transactions in Canadian capital markets.

With the requisite Allied shareholder approval having been obtained on March 31, 2026 and regulatory approvals in progress, the goal remains to close as soon as possible and before the outside date in the Agreement, with the continuing objective of closing at the end of April, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and final court approval. Such regulatory approvals are currently underway in multiple jurisdictions, with Zijin Gold and Allied working cooperatively in a sensible and disciplined manner. While broader global geopolitical events and circumstances should not impact the progress of the regulatory process for the transaction, both companies monitor these events and circumstances and regularly discuss possible implications of those events and circumstances. There is no assurance that these events and circumstances will not have an impact on the transaction or timing for approvals nor that such approvals will be received. Both companies continue to demonstrate a strong commitment to complete the transaction. Further, the companies are working on an orderly transition, including site detailed visits, management integration planning, and evaluating further asset optimizations and opportunities aimed at unlocking future value for the asset platform.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

***Overnight Marketed Equity Offering***

On October 20, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement related to an overnight marketed equity offering. Pursuant to this offering, 7,143,200 common shares were issued at a price of C$27.35 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $139.6 million (CAD$195.3 million) and net proceeds of approximately $134.0 million (CAD$187.4 million).

The proceeds are being used to fund optimization and growth initiatives particularly to accelerate development of infrastructure for the next phase of expansion at Sadiola which includes improvements in processing capacity and acceleration of the implementation of certain components of the recently announced energy program, modify the plant under development at Kurmuk to increase average processing capacity for higher levels of production and general corporate purposes to take advantage of corporate and asset-based opportunities which may arise from time to time. The Company considers that pursuing some or all of these initiatives at this time improves efficiency, productivity and profitability.

***Gold Prepaid Forward Arrangement***

The Company has entered into Gold Prepaid forward arrangements with select lenders (the "Prepay Lenders"), for a total advance amount of $125.0 million. Under these arrangements, the Company will deliver to the Prepay Lenders an aggregate of 4,035 ounces of gold per month over a period of twelve months, starting in October 2026.

***NYSE Listing***

Allied began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol AAUC on June 9, 2025. Allied believes that listing on the NYSE will provide the Company with, among other things, access to a broader investor audience, increased sources of potential capital, improved trading liquidity in Allied's common shares, and increased research coverage from U.S. investment banks. Finally, the listing is expected to provide the opportunity for broader index inclusion.

***Common Share Consolidation***

During the second quarter, in May of 2025, and in connection with the Company's application to list its common shares on the NYSE, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every three pre-consolidation common shares outstanding.

***Bought Deal Public Offering and Concurrent Block Trade***

During the second quarter, in April of 2025, the Company successfully closed on a bought deal public offering, and a significant shareholder of the Company completed a concurrent block trade transaction of common shares owned by such shareholder. The offering was for an aggregate of 17,250,000 common shares at a price of C$5.35 per share (on a pre-consolidation basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $66.8 million (C$92.3 million). and net proceeds of $61.9 million (C$85.1 million).

Enhancing market liquidity remains a key objective for the Company. Over the past 18 months, average daily trading volume, measured over a 20-day period, has increased approximately ninefold. The significant shareholder's block trade and the Company's offering further improved trading liquidity in advance of the Company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange. These transactions also support broader index inclusion and additional investor interest, all of which should help the Company's share price better reflect the Company's intrinsic value per share.

The Company is using net proceeds from the offering to fund its optimization and growth initiatives, including advancing studies and engineering work to improve recoveries at Sadiola, supporting exploration and mine life extension studies in Côte d'Ivoire, and conducting additional exploration and development activities across its broader asset portfolio.

***Optimization Initiatives***

Management has continued on its optimization plan encompassing a series of enhancements at existing mines to improve efficiency and costs across all of the Company's mines. These enhancements include, among others, upgraded and improved power generation facilities, plant instrumentation upgrades, enhanced procurement and supply chain processes, improved management collaborations, and the provision of management and oversight of mining efforts undertaken by the Company's mining contractors, to drive improved mining performance. These efforts complement ongoing exploration initiatives aimed at extending mine life, primarily at the Company's mines in Côte d'Ivoire, as well as expanding the inventory of oxide ore at Sadiola.

Gold production of 117,004 ounces during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 99,632 ounces during the comparative prior period. The increase was predominantly driven by increases at Bonikro in the fourth quarter being impacted by the benefits of stripping at PB5, as anticipated, and further increases at Sadiola and Agbaou.

Total cost of sales<sup>(4)</sup> of $1,942 for the three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to $1,773 during the comparative prior period. Cash costs<sup>(1)</sup> on a per gold ounce sold basis of $1,830 for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $1,589 during the comparative prior period. All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC")<sup>(1)</sup> for the current quarter of $1,980 compared to $1,987 per gold ounce. As previously guided, AISC<sup>(1)</sup> for the fourth quarter continued the trend of material reductions as a result of increased production, mining sequencing and operational improvements. This represents a reduction of over 5% over the AISC realized in the third quarter, despite higher royalties driven by higher average gold prices. The estimated gold price impact on fourth quarter AISC as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,145 versus an average of approximately $3,460 in the third quarter amounts to approximately $100 per ounce, implying a substantial gold-price-adjusted reduction in AISC of over $200 per ounce on a quarter-over-quarter basis. These results demonstrate a significant reduction in costs through 2025, net of gold price impacts, which is expected to continue into 2026.

Gold sales<sup>(8)</sup> of 113,446 ounces for three months ended December 31, 2025 compared to 64,769 ounces sold in the comparative period quarter. The variance in sales ounces is associated with the comparative prior year period, which was impacted by Korali-Sud gold production for the quarter not sold until early in 2025, as previously disclosed.

Gold production was 379,081 ounces during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to 358,091 ounces in the comparative period. The change was predominantly driven by increases at Bonikro and Agbaou, along with the benefits at Sadiola of Korali-Sud for the first three quarters of 2025, with the completion of mining of the oxide body during the fourth quarter.

Total cost of sales<sup>(4)</sup> of $2,013 for the year, compared to $1,627 in the comparative prior year.

material reductions as a result of increased production, mining sequencing and operational improvements. This represents a reduction of over 5% over the AISC realized in the third quarter, despite higher royalties driven by higher average gold prices. The estimated gold price impact on fourth quarter AISC as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,145 versus an average of approximately $3,460 in the third quarter amounts to approximately $100 per ounce, implying a substantial gold-price-adjusted reduction in AISC of over $200 per ounce on a quarter-over-quarter basis. These results demonstrate a significant reduction in costs through 2025, net of gold price impacts, which is expected to continue into 2026.

Gold sales<sup>(8)</sup> of 418,168 ounces for year ended December 31, 2025 compared to 313,455 ounces sold in the comparative year. The variance in sales ounces is associated with the comparative prior year period, which was impacted by Korali-Sud gold production for the quarter not sold until early in 2025, as previously disclosed.

Average revenue per ounce generally diverges from the average market price due to the impact of ounces delivered under the streams, offtake agreements and the settlement of the gold collars.

Attributable Net Loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $23.6 million, compared to an Attributable Net Loss of $10.3 million in the comparative prior year quarter. Management believes that certain adjustments for items that may not be reflective of current and on-going operations are appropriate, and better reflect the underlying economic results. Adjustments include unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments and foreign exchange, along with share-based compensation largely impacted by share price movements and certain tax adjustments. After these adjustments, the Company reports Adjusted Net Earnings<sup>(1)</sup> of $69.0 million for the current quarter, compared to Adjusted Net Earnings<sup>(1)</sup> of $9.5 million in the comparative prior year quarter.

EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> and Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were $138.6 million and $204.6 million respectively, compared to earnings of $50.1 million and $47.3 million for the prior year comparative period. EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was impacted by unrealized mark-to-market losses on the Company's convertible debentures. The debentures will either be settled in cash at their face value at maturity, or converted at the pre-determined conversion ratio. The unrealized mark-to-market losses, which reflect fluctuations in the trading value of the publicly listed debentures, did not and will not result in cash outflows upon settlement above face value. Further, EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> was impacted by remeasurements of contingent consideration. For consistency of showing underlying economic results, these losses are removed from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup>. The Company's strong Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> demonstrates its strong cash-flow generating ability and continued operational efficiency.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $189.3 million. This compares to $50.9 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Current period cash from operating activities was positively impacted by significantly higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. Prior year cash flows were further negatively impacted by the settlement of claim matters and higher income taxes paid. Working capital impact for the quarter is related to normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable, along with year-end accruals. As customary, certain positive impacts to working-capital movements in the fourth quarter are typically released in the first quarter of the following year, reflecting the normal course settlement of various payables, accruals, and other balance-sheet items.

Operating cash flows before income tax paid, government settlements and movements in working capital for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased significantly, at an inflow of $227.1 million compared with the prior year comparative quarter inflow of $141.0 million. This was due to higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. The impact of higher sales was partially offset by lower proceeds from stream arrangements and prepays in the current period.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $514.0 million compared to an inflow of $110.8 million in the prior year comparative period. Current period cash from operating activities was positively impacted by higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. The impact of higher sales was partially offset by lower proceeds from stream arrangements and prepays in the current period. Working capital impact for the year is related to increases in VAT receivable balances, along with normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable.

Operating cash flows before income tax paid, government settlements and movements in working capital for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased significantly, at $637.0 million, compared to $321.3 million in the prior year comparative period. This increase was associated with higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $479.8 million, compared with $225.0 million as at December 31, 2024.

All IFRS capitalized borrowing costs are disclosed under Corporate and Other.

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CORE BUSINESS, STRATEGY AND OUTLOOK**

Allied Gold is a Canadian-based emerging senior gold producer with a portfolio of three operating gold mines, a significant gold development project, and exploration properties throughout Africa, located in Mali, Côte d'Ivoire, and Ethiopia. Allied plans to continue building on this base through expansion and optimization initiatives at existing operating mines, development of new mines, advancement of its exploration properties.

Allied's principal mining properties comprise the Sadiola gold mine in the Kayes Region of West Mali (80% ownership), which includes the Korali-Sud open pit gold mine (65% ownership), the Bonikro (89.89% ownership) and Agbaou (85% ownership) gold mines in Côte d'Ivoire, and the Kurmuk gold development project in Ethiopia (100% ownership<sup>(7)</sup>).

Allied is positioned for substantial growth, with a path to increase sustainable production to approximately 800,000 ounces by 2029. This robust growth trajectory, expected to drive a compounded and disproportionate increase in cash flows and profitability, is underpinned by the Company's exploration success and proven track record of reserve replacement and resource growth, notably at both Sadiola and the Côte d'Ivoire mines. Additionally, the Company benefits from low-risk, phased expansion projects that can be implemented quickly, such as the Kurmuk Project in Ethiopia currently under construction, and the Sadiola expansion project.

The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol AAUC. In addition, its publicly traded convertible debentures are listed on the TSX, trading in U.S. dollars under the symbol AAUC.DB.U.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

**Guidance**

**Production**

The Company's key focus for 2026 is to continue implementing its optimization plans to capture incremental production gains and reduce operating costs across its portfolio, thereby increasing margins and cash flows. Alongside this, the Company's key strategic priority is the completion of construction and the commencement of operations at the Kurmuk Project, expected in mid-2026, while continuing exploration efforts to extend mine life, and enhance operational flexibility across its operations.

As previously guided, the Company expects to produce between 385,000 and 425,000 ounces of gold in 2026 from its currently producing mines, and between 100,000 and 150,000 ounces of gold from the Kurmuk Project, which is expected to begin production in mid-2026. The range is driven by different ramp-up scenarios. The lower end represents a conservative case that assumes stable grid power is achieved in late Q3 (as opposed to mid-Q2), reflecting exogenous factors outside the Company's control. The power utility remains committed to providing sufficient stable power by mid-Q2; accordingly, the Company's objective is to deliver production closer to the midpoint or higher end of the range. Total production guidance, including contributions from Kurmuk, is expected to be 485,000 to 575,000 ounces of gold. This is consistent with the historical production profile of the Company's existing operations of 375,000 to 400,000 ounces, with incremental increases driven by access to higher grades and ongoing operational improvements and expansions.

First quarter results are expected to put the Company well on-track towards its annual guidance, and strong EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> margins are expected to continue to improve.

**Costs**

For 2026, the projected mine-site level cost of sales per ounce, cash costs<sup>(1)</sup>, AISC<sup>(1)</sup> are expected to be between $1,945-2,160, $1,550-1,680 and $1,750-1,900 per ounce, respectively, based on a gold price assumption of $4,250 per ounce.

Every $100/oz increase in the price of gold is expected to result in $15/oz higher AISC on a consolidated basis, primarily due to certain royalties based on gold price. Given the Ad-Valorem tax at Sadiola, this gold price impact is proportionally higher. Guidance AISC is defined at a gold price of $4,250 per ounce and considering that in 2025, the average realized gold price was $3,355 per ounce, the gold price related impact on AISC in the 2026 guidance is estimated at approximately $135 per ounce on a consolidated basis, and at approximately $160 per ounce for Sadiola.

Sadiola capital expenditures include the pre-leach thickener implementation, instrumentation and automation upgrades, engineering and start of construction for the 7 Mt/a per year step of Phase 2, as discussed above, and the advancement of the solar farm and construction of the new tailings facility. Agbaou will incur an anticipated $38 million in capital expenditures for production stripping, aimed at exposing ore for 2026 and future years. At Bonikro, expansionary expenditures include plant throughput expansions and optimizations aimed at increasing future production, along with tailings storage facility expansion and advancement of the Oumé project. Expansionary capital expenditures for Kurmuk are tied to the completion of the project scope, with additional funding for post-project initiatives, including expansion of warehousing capacity in the country, satellite deposits development, community projects, and process plant optimization for future years, while sustaining costs relate to open-pit waste stripping. Approximately 70% of the Company's expected exploration spend is capital in nature.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;REVIEW OF FINANCIAL RESULTS**

**For the three months ended December 31, 2025**

***Revenue***

Revenue of $427.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $170.8 million in the comparative prior year period. The significant increase in revenue was driven by an increase in average revenue per ounce of 43% as a result of higher gold prices versus the comparative period, along with an increase in sales quantities of 48,677 ounces, or 75%.

The variance in sales ounces is associated with the comparative prior year period, which was impacted by Korali-Sud gold production for the quarter not sold until early in 2025, as previously disclosed.

The average realized gold price during the period, net of the impact of sales under the streaming arrangements and the settlement of gold collars of $37.1 million, was $1,131/ounce higher, at $3,765/ounce compared to $2,634/ounce in the comparative prior period quarter.

***Cost of sales, excluding DDA***

Cost of sales, excluding DDA, of $205.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $101.9 million in 2024. The increase in Cost of Sales, excluding DDA was predominantly impacted by the increase in ounces sold during the quarter in relation to prior year's comparative quarter. The prior year comparative quarter was impacted by the aforementioned delay in sale of Korali-Sud gold sold during the first quarter of 2025. Further, current period costs were impacted by the increase in royalties associated with significantly higher gold prices.

***DDA***

Total DDA<sup>(4)</sup> of $14.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025, was higher than the $13.0 million in the comparative prior year quarter. The increase is mostly attributable to ounces sold. The Company's assets subject to DDA include a substantial amount of mining interests and PP&E, that are based on purchase price accounting and fair values from the mine acquisitions.

***General and administrative expenses***

Administrative expenses include costs related to the overall management of the business that are not part of direct mine operating costs.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, administrative expenses excluding share-based expenses were $20.9 million , compared to $15.8 million in the comparative prior year quarter.

Share-based expense is impacted by volatility and share price performance, resulting in a mark-to-market and amortization of outstanding units, although these expenses are not cash, and are paid or issued based on future vesting and performance. As the Company's stock gained over 47% in the fourth quarter alone, stock-based compensation for the fourth quarter increased accordingly, along with the normal course issuance of units during the year.

As costs further decrease, and production increases, the per ounce cost of general and administrative expenses will decrease more than

commensurately. The Company is establishing an administrative construct that supports growth from 375,000 ounces, to the near-term production plan of 600,000 ounces. Ultimately this will support a production platform of over one million ounces, targeting five to seven mines, without the requirement for additional significant overhead support, and costs decreasing meaningfully on a per ounce basis. Further, certain expenditures were incurred in different comparative prior year periods, resulting in expenditure volatility between quarters.

***Exploration expenses***

Exploration expenses relate to exploration campaigns carried out at each site, described in detail within this MD&A.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

***Gain on revaluation of financial instruments***

The result for the three months ended December 31, 2025 relates to the following items, with the most significant components of the current period result being related to the convertible debt valuation and deferred consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The revaluation of the convertible debenture and its associated unrealized mark-to-market impact, due to an increase in the observable market price of the debenture. The debentures will be either settled in cash at their face value or converted based on the predetermined conversion ratio. The unrealized mark-to-market losses, which reflect fluctuations in the trading value of the publicly listed debentures, did not and will not result in cash outflows upon settlement above face value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The revaluation of the contingent consideration to Agbaou and Kurmuk, predominantly associated with higher consensus market prices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Then, to a smaller extent and not individually significant:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ A portion of sales from the Bonikro Mine are subject to an offtake sales agreement. Pricing for this gold is based on a Quotational Period of six days and a loss is recorded in earnings as incurred, and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ the revaluation of contingent consideration on the expected Net Smelter Return "NSR" royalty obligation that was part of the acquisition of the Agbaou Mine. The contingent consideration is revalued on each balance sheet date to include the latest life of mine production estimates and expected future gold prices.

***Other losses***

Other loss for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $14.1 million, compared to a loss of $4.3 million in the comparative prior year quarter.

Other losses for the current period were impacted by items that were individually insignificant.

***Finance costs***

Finance costs of $12.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 were comparable to the finance costs of $7.0 million in the prior year comparative quarter. The costs comprise three major categories, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest on Borrowings. Interest expense was $2.4 million, compared to $2.3 million in the comparative prior year quarter. Interest is related to the convertible debentures issued on September 7, 2023. Details on the Company's borrowings can be found in the Financial Condition and Liquidity section of this MD&A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the period, the Company capitalized interest of $13.1 million, associated with the construction of the Kurmuk project and the Sadiola phased expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other Non-Cash Finance Cost was $16.0 million compared to $9.1 million in the comparative prior quarter. These non-cash charges relate to accretion of asset retirement obligation liabilities, accretion of deferred consideration, and the calculated interest charge on the stream agreements (refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Current period costs included a loss of $7.3 million in foreign currency ($0.2 million gain in the prior year comparative period).

***Income tax expense***

Income tax expense was $125.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and reflects a current income tax expense of $99.5 million and a deferred income tax expense of $25.9 million. This compares to a total tax expense in the prior year comparative quarter of $38.2 million, with current income tax expense of $22.0 million and a deferred income tax expense of $16.2 million. The increase in income tax is related to the increase in revenue and the non-recognition of deferred tax assets.

The effective tax rate is subject to a number of factors including the source of income between different countries, different tax rates in the various jurisdictions, the recognition of deferred tax assets when applicable, foreign currency exchange movements, changes in tax laws and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. The high effective tax rate is the result of the tax impact of costs incurred in non-taxable jurisdictions which include general and administrative expenses, borrowing costs, hedging market-to-market and other non-operational expenses, while the underlying operations recorded income before tax. The effective tax rate on operations was 30.0%, which is more in line with statutory rates.

The Company operates in the following tax jurisdictions: Côte d'Ivoire, where the statutory tax rate is 25%; Mali, where the statutory tax rate is 30%; Ethiopia where the statutory tax rate is 25%; and Canada, where the combined federal and provincial statutory tax rate is

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

26.5%. The Company does not anticipate the statutory tax rates to change in the jurisdictions it operates in for the foreseeable future; therefore, there should be no impact on the calculation of the current or deferred tax expense in the period.

***New taxation developments -* OECD Pillar Two Model Rules**

In June 2024, the Government of Canada enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") that was developed within the framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s Pillar Two Model rules. The GMTA includes the introduction of a 15% global minimum tax that applies to large multinational enterprise groups with global consolidated revenues over €750 million for two out of the past four years. However, this legislation does not currently apply to the Company as 2025 was the first year that revenue exceeded €750 million. The effective tax rates in the jurisdictions in which the Company operate are above 15% and the Company does not expect a potential exposure to the global minimum tax when the rules apply to us in the future.

**For the year ended December 31, 2025**

***Revenue***

Total revenue was $1,331.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $730.4 million in the prior year comparative period, resulting predominantly from 39% higher realized prices and a 33% increase in the number of ounces sold<sup>(8)</sup>, or 104,713 ounces. The variance in sales ounces is associated with the comparative prior year period, which was impacted by Korali-Sud gold production for the quarter not sold until early in 2025, as previously disclosed.

The average realized gold price, net of the impact of sales under the streaming arrangements and the settlement of gold collars of $55.8 million, for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $915 per ounce higher at $3,242 per ounce versus $2,327 per ounce in the comparative prior period in 2024.

***Cost of sales, excluding DDA***

Cost of sales, excluding DDA, was $753.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $462.5 million in the prior year comparative period. The increase was predominantly related to changes in the general cost structure of the business from the prior year and the aforementioned sales quantities. Further, current period costs were impacted by the increase in royalties associated with significantly higher gold prices.

***DDA***

Total DDA<sup>(4)</sup> was $71.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $47.6 million in the 2024 comparative period. The increase is attributable to ounces sold. The Company's assets subject to DDA include a substantial amount of mining interests and PP&E, that are based on purchase price accounting and fair values from the mine acquisitions.

***General and administrative expenses***

Administrative expenses include costs related to the overall management of the business that are not part of direct mine operating costs.

Excluding share-based compensation, the administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $60.6 million, compared to $56.5 million in the prior year comparative period.

Share-based expense is impacted by volatility and share price performance, resulting in a mark-to-market and amortization of outstanding units, although these expenses are not cash, and are paid or issued based on future vesting and performance. As the Company's stock gained over 200% in the year, along with the normal course issuance of units during the year, stock-based compensation increased accordingly.

As costs further decrease, and production increases, the per ounce cost of general and administrative expenses will decrease more than

commensurately. The Company is establishing an administrative construct that supports growth from 375,000 ounces, to the near-term production plan of 600,000 ounces. Ultimately this will support a production platform of over one million ounces, targeting five to seven mines, without the requirement for additional significant overhead support, and costs decreasing meaningfully on a per ounce basis. Further, certain expenditures were incurred in different comparative prior year periods, resulting in expenditure volatility between quarters.

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

***Exploration expenses***

Exploration expenses relate to exploration campaigns carried out at each site, described in detail within this MD&A.

***(Loss) Gain on revaluation of financial instruments***

The result for the year ended December 31, 2025, relates to the following items, with the most significant components of the current year result being related to the convertible debt valuation and deferred consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The revaluation of the convertible debenture and its associated unrealized mark-to-market impact loss, due to an increase in the observable market price of the debenture. The debentures will be either settled in cash at their face value or converted based on the predetermined conversion ratio. The unrealized mark-to-market losses, which reflect fluctuations in the trading value of the publicly listed debentures, did not and will not result in cash outflows upon settlement above face value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The revaluation of the contingent consideration related to Agbaou and Kurmuk, predominantly associated with higher consensus market prices.

***Other losses***

Other loss of $36.0 million was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $125.2 million in the comparative prior year period.

Other losses for the current period were impacted by corporate development activities and transaction related costs, including those associated with efforts relating to, or that led to, establishing a comprehensive and complete self-reliant power solution at Sadiola, along with contingencies and other legal matters. Included in the current period is a gain of $14.5 million, associated with the aforementioned 8,155 Korali ounces that were advanced to the Government of Mali as a prepayment of future dividends during the first quarter of 2025. Although these ounces were effectively transferred at prevailing market prices in exchange for a prepayment of 2025 dividends, under IFRS, the Government of Mali cannot be considered a customer as a shareholder to that entity due to the form of the transaction, and consequently the values associated with these ounces are not included in Revenue, Cost of Sales or Depreciation but in this financial statement line item. This gain was offset by other losses in the current period, predominantly impacted by corporate development activities and transaction related costs, including those associated with efforts relating to, or that led to, establishing a comprehensive and complete self-reliant power solution at Sadiola, along with contingencies and other legal matters.

Costs for the prior year were impacted by claim matter settlements, and a VAT write-off. In accordance with IFRS, all amounts associated with the claim settlement were expensed during the third quarter of 2024.

***Finance costs***

Finance costs of $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $19.3 million in the comparative prior year period. The costs comprise major categories, as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Interest on Borrowings. Interest expense was $9.4 million, compared to $9.4 million in the comparative prior year period, unchanged as no further debt taken on during the year and all related to the convertible debentures. Details on the Company's borrowings can be found in the "Financial Condition and Liquidity" section of this MD&A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• During the period, the Company capitalized interest of $36.6 million, associated with the construction of the Kurmuk project and the Sadiola phased expansion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Other Non-Cash Finance Costs of $42.6 million compared to $22.0 million in the comparative prior year period. These non-cash charges relate to accretion of asset retirement obligation liabilities, accretion of deferred consideration, and the calculated interest charge on the stream agreements (refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the year ended December 31, 2025, foreign exchange loss was $11.1 million compared to $2.7 million in the comparative prior year period.

***Income tax expense***

Income tax expense was $234.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and reflects a current income tax expense of $175.0 million and a deferred income tax expense of $59.0 million. This compares to a total tax expense in 2024 of $114.2 million, with current income tax expense of $87.5 million and a deferred income tax expense of $26.7 million. The increase in income tax is the result of the tax impact of the Mali matters and the non-recognition of deferred tax assets.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

The effective tax rate is subject to a number of factors including the source of income between different countries, different tax rates in the various jurisdictions, the recognition of tax assets when applicable, foreign currency exchange movements, changes in tax laws and the impact of specific transactions and assessments. The effective tax rate relating to operations in the current year was 36.1%, which is more in line with statutory tax rates.

The following items have the most significant impact on the difference between the Company's Canadian statutory tax rate of 26.5% and our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The non-recognition of deferred tax assets in the amount of $87.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the recognition of deferred tax assets in the amount of $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Deferred taxes are not recognized to the extent there is insufficient future taxable income. The non-recognition of deferred tax assets relate to losses where there is insufficient future taxable income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the year ended December 31, 2024, the company recorded $37.3 million of tax expense relating to the Mali settlement and an expense of $10.0 million relating to tax settlements in Côte d'Ivoire for the year ended December 31, 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the year ended December 31, 2025, the company recorded a tax expense in the amount of $5.6 million relating to the strengthening US$ against the Ethiopian Birr and the weakening of the US$ against the West African CFA (XOF) franc compared to a recovery in the amount of $16.8 million on the strengthening of the US$ against the XOF and Birr for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The company recorded a tax expense of $29.8 million relating to the accrual for withholding tax on future distributions for the year ending December 31, 2025 compared to an expense of $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Losses in low-taxed jurisdictions impacted the rate by $11.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and $11.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Deferred tax liabilities relating to the operating mines will reverse in the future, as the assets are depreciated or amortized. The capitalized exploration expenditures on non-producing mineral properties will not reverse until the property becomes a mine subject to amortization, is written off or sold. The deferred income taxes would only be paid on a direct disposition of the asset that may never occur.

The Company operates in the following tax jurisdictions: Côte d'Ivoire, where the statutory tax rate is 25%; Mali, where the statutory tax rate is 30%; Ethiopia, where the statutory tax rate for mining companies is 25% and Canada, where the combined federal and provincial statutory tax rate is 26.5%. The Company does not anticipate the statutory tax rates to change in the jurisdictions it operates in for the foreseeable future; therefore, there should be no impact on the calculation of the current or deferred tax expense in the period.

For the three months ended December 31, 2025, Sadiola produced 57,191 ounces of gold, compared to the 54,210 ounces produced in the comparative prior year quarter. Production in the fourth quarter represents record quarterly production for the mine since the Company went public in 2023, demonstrating the improved operating performance expected to continue in 2026 and beyond.

Production was mainly supported by mining transitional and oxide ore from Sadiola Main Pit Stage 5 and oxides from Sekekoto, which provided higher grades and throughput. Strong production in the fourth quarter of 2025 was further supported by the continued mobilization of new equipment by the mining contractor and strong performance at the processing plant. Following continued mobilization of additional equipment by the mining contractor in the fourth quarter, further equipment additions were observed during the first quarter of 2026. Instrumentation upgrades at the process plant were commissioned and at full capacity starting mid-February 2026. In the interim, optimization initiatives implemented throughout 2025, including increased mining and processing of oxide ore and improved operational efficiency on the existing process plant circuit, resulted in throughput consistently exceeding the pre-automation baseline. This delivered a cumulative increase of approximately 361,000 tonnes for the year, which occurred primarily in the fourth quarter. These outcomes reflect stronger process control, improved instrumentation reliability, and a more stable operating regime.

The Company continues to advance the development and preparation of new projects with near-surface, medium- to high-grade oxide zones, including FE4, FE2.5, and Sadiola Main Stage 6, which are expected to contribute to gold production in the short and medium term.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

Furthermore, FE2 North and Tambali North extension projects were brought forward through ongoing exploration efforts to identify additional near-surface oxide discoveries. These targets form part of the Company's 2026 high-grade exploration pipeline and are expected to enhance operational flexibility and potentially boost production in 2026 and beyond.

With rising mining volumes, improved fresh-ore preparation, and active improvement programs, Sadiola is well positioned to stabilize production and sustain stronger margins over the medium term.

As previously discussed, the Company is advancing studies to define the best strategy for the next phase of the mine's expansion. Please refer to *Sadiola Expansion Project* below for further details. 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, initially installing additional state-of-the-art diesel generators and control systems, followed by the implementation of a hybrid power solution, with the deployment of more efficient 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. Please refer to *Sadiola Energy Program* for further details.

Total cost of sales<sup>(4)</sup> and All-in Sustaining Costs ("AISC")<sup>(1)</sup> for the quarter were $2,131 and $2,104, respectively, per gold ounce. As previously guided, AISC<sup>(1)</sup> for the fourth quarter continued the trend of material reductions as a result of increased production, mining sequencing and operational improvements. This represents a reduction from the third quarter, despite higher royalties driven by higher average gold prices. The estimated gold price impact on fourth quarter AISC as a result of higher royalties due to average gold prices of approximately $4,145 versus an average of approximately $3,460 in the third quarter amounts to over $100 per ounce, implying a substantial gold-price-adjusted reduction in AISC on a quarter-over-quarter basis.

Gold sales for the current quarter were mostly in line with production, with small differences attributable to timing of shipments.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Sadiola produced 193,880 ounces, and was comparable to the 193,462 ounces in the comparative prior year. Production in the twelve months ended December 31, 2025 includes the significant contribution from Korali-Sud high-grade oxide ore, as well as its fresh ore, through co-processing of Sadiola and Korali-Sud ores. Co-processing started on May 6, 2025 and continued to contribute through the fourth quarter of 2025.

Gold sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 were higher than production, resulting from timing of shipments and sales. As of December 31, 2024, gold produced from Korali-Sud oxide ore was in inventory at Sadiola and sold early in 2025. The timing of sales of Korali-Sud gold resulted from necessary administrative processes related to establishing the new operating company for Korali-Sud and transferring its mining license. These processes took longer than initially anticipated due to administrative changes introduced by the 2023 mining code.

**Sadiola Expansion Project**

Over the last several years, the Company has been advancing a strategy of optimization and expansion at the Sadiola Gold Mine. Initial efforts focused on stabilizing the operation, primarily related to the existing processing capacity of mostly oxide ores, followed by a phased expansion to process fresh ores. The objective is to increase production and cash flows in both the short and long term.

On December 21, 2025, the Company announced that it commenced operations and began processing ore through the fresh ore comminution circuit installed pursuant to the Phase 1 expansion at Sadiola, marking a significant milestone in the transformational growth strategy for this long-life asset. The Phase 1 expansion is aimed at increasing production, reducing costs and materially increasing cash flows through a phased expansion approach. The Phase 1 mill ramped up in the first quarter of 2026, alongside the completion of ancillary systems and power-supply upgrades. Further optimizations to the processing circuit, including instrumentation and automation upgrades, are planned for execution this year. Together, these initiatives are expected to improve operating performance, enhance overall processing rates, and reduce reagent consumption incrementally.

The Company has been advancing studies to define the best strategy for the next phase of the mine's expansion. The initial conclusion of these studies was that adding a pre-leach thickener to the circuit allows the plant to process over 90% of the fresh ore in the feed, increasing operational flexibility and potentially increasing production. Given that a pre-leach thickener is required regardless of the selected expansion scenario, the Company decided to begin engineering and design in late 2025 to prepare for construction in 2026.

Allied concluded in the fourth quarter 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 build a new processing plant. 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 defined in the previous feasibility study, but with interim and organic steps at 7 Mt/y and 8 Mt/y. This strategy

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

also allows the recovery improvement project and the energy program to be implemented progressively as throughput capacity expands, for further capital efficiency and returns. For 2026, the Company will advance the engineering and early works required for the 7 Mt/y step, together with the studies to increase recoveries, new tailings dam construction and solar farm earthworks and mobilization.

The total capital expenditures for the 7 Mt/y step of the processing plant are estimated at approximately $200 million, including engineering and construction of a permanent two-stage crushing plant and a grinding mill in the second line of the Sadiola plant, which are planned to be developed between late 2026 and late 2028. The subsequent 8 Mt/y and 9 Mt/y per year steps consist of adding a permanent tertiary crushing circuit and wet plant upgrades, respectively, and could be executed sequentially or concurrently, along with related expansions to power generation and ancillary facilities.

At the 7 Mtpa throughput, the plant configuration will include the existing Stage 1 three-stage crushing circuit operating in parallel with a new two-stage crushing circuit. Downstream, the comminution circuit will comprise two parallel milling circuits (Stage 1 and a new mill already owned by the Company), producing a final grind of P80 75 μm. The remainder of the flowsheet will include a pre-leach thickener, pre-oxidation, cyanidation, and carbon adsorption, utilizing the existing facilities and remaining consistent with the general processing path defined for Sadiola in the previous technical work.

**Sadiola Energy Program**

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, initially installing additional state-of-the-art diesel generators and control systems, followed by the implementation of a hybrid power solution, with the deployment of more efficient 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. The systems will then be scaled up to satisfy the energy needs of the next phase expansion, providing Sadiola with a flexible power solution capable of meeting its ultimate power needs, while being self-reliant, efficient and cost-effective.

Beginning early next year, Sadiola will significantly reduce its use of legacy diesel generators in favour of newer, more cost-effective units and control systems, aimed at reducing fuel consumption and increasing power generation efficiency. Over the course of 2027, this will be followed by the installation of the photovoltaic plant and related BESS, as well as medium-speed thermal generators, both of which are planned to be expanded further to match the energy requirements of the next Sadiola expansion.

The introduction of the initial photovoltaic plant and BESS is projected to reduce energy costs by up to 20 percent compared to current costs. The introduction of additional photovoltaic and BESS capacity, as well as medium-speed thermal generators, is projected to further reduce energy costs by up to 45 percent, representing a reduction in All-In Sustaining Costs ("AISC"), once the power program is fully implemented, estimated to range from an initial amount of $150 per ounce of gold to as much as $200 per ounce of gold with incremental interim reductions as each of the components of the power program are implemented. The projected operating costs are comparable to the average costs expected for grid-supplied power with diesel backup, adjusted for grid availability in Mali. Considering the schedule of implementation for the different stages of the plan noted above, which is driven by engineering and procurement timelines of the various components, cost improvements are expected to be modest in 2026 and then gradually increase with the deployment of solar and BESS in 2027, and then increase meaningfully with the introduction of medium-speed thermal generation in 2027 and 2028.

The Company has concluded that its power program for Sadiola will provide greater reliability and certainty, which are essential for supporting uninterrupted mining operations without overburdening the grid system. Elements of the power solution are expected to be financed through a combination of upfront and deferred payments, thereby decreasing near-term capital requirements, as noted below.

As part of its analysis, the Company has retained the services of African Power Services ("APS") to provide a comprehensive power solution for the program's initial stages. The engagement with APS marks a significant milestone in Allied's strategy to unlock value at Sadiola by ensuring a reliable, cost-effective, and scalable power supply in alignment with the mine's phased expansion approach. Leveraging APS's extensive experience in renewable and hybrid energy solutions across Africa, Allied expects to materially reduce operating costs, enhance energy efficiency, and lower carbon emissions as the implementation of its energy program advances.

The power requirement for the Sadiola Phase 1 expansion was determined to be 20MW as average load, while for the Phase 2 expansion, the average load is estimated to be 32MW. As previously disclosed, the Company is advancing engineering studies on an alternative expansion scenario that leverages the existing processing infrastructure, thereby reducing capital requirements while achieving substantial production growth. The power requirement for this alternative scenario is expected to fall within the range of 22MW and 32MW, defined by the power demands of Phase 1 and Phase 2 expansions. Given that the power plan being implemented is to be

**ALLIED GOLD**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

deployed in stages and is scalable, this approach provides the Company with significant flexibility to pursue its future expansion plans while securing its power supply and advancing its cost reduction program at Sadiola in the short and medium term.

As noted above, the first stage of the proposed program involves expanding the diesel generation capacity at Sadiola by approximately 14MW with state-of-the-art units, which are expected to be completed by early 2026. This will be followed by the installation of a photovoltaic plant with a peak capacity of approximately 35MW, paired with a 30 MWh BESS and a new control system integrated with the diesel generators by mid-2027, which is designed to supply approximately forty percent of the energy requirements of Phase 1 expansion.

The second stage of the plan involves the progressive introduction of medium-speed thermal generation between 2027 and 2028, which is expected to improve efficiency and significantly reduce operating costs. Additional thermal generation will be accompanied by the expansion of the renewable energy generation to a target peak capacity of up to 60MW for solar and 45 MWh for BESS, to supply the next phase of growth at Sadiola while preserving flexibility to produce additional power if required.

The new diesel generators, along with the initial photovoltaic plant and BESS, are planned to be installed with a deferred payment arrangement, thereby requiring minimal up-front capital. The capital for the first stage of the medium-speed thermal generators is expected to fit within the capital provision for power as part of the Sadiola expansion.

These investments will secure power for the ongoing needs and future growth at Sadiola, while progressively lowering costs, fuel consumption and carbon intensity of operations. In addition, the hybrid power generation solution will ensure a robust, independent and uninterrupted power supply for operations, while preserving the option to connect to Mali's public grid system in the future. These enhancements reinforce Allied's commitment to disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and ESG-driven value creation for shareholders and stakeholders. With improved and more efficient, cost-effective energy availability, Allied remains on track to deliver the Sadiola expansion on schedule and within budget, while advancing its broader growth pipeline across Africa.

**Sadiola Exploration**

Since acquiring the Sadiola Project in 2021, Allied has identified over 15 million tonnes of economic oxide mineralization within the near-mine footprint, significantly enhancing the oxide resource base critical for the existing and planned processing infrastructure. Ongoing exploration activities at Sadiola Main, Tambali, Sekekoto West, FE3/4, FE2 Trend and TK1 support Allied's strategy to leverage the existing resources, known mineralization trends and infrastructure to maximize production and cash flows in the short to medium term.

On October 29, 2025, Allied presented results of the exploration programs carried out over the Sadiola property during 2025. The Company's five-year exploration goal for Sadiola is to reach over 14 million ounces of Mineral Resources, representing a sequential target of over 3.5 million ounces of new Mineral Resources in addition to the current inventory. The objective includes adding approximately 1.0 million ounces of new oxide, which, in turn, supports Sadiola's medium-term and long-term expansion strategy, providing upside and optionality. Exploration drilling has intersected significant new zones and extensions at Sekekoto West/S12, Tambali, FE2 Trend, and FE3/4 Trend with Sekekoto West and the southern part of the FE2 Trend (FE2.5) potentially providing short-term, new and more proximal high-grade oxide resources for the Sadiola mill as mining at Korali Sud winds down. Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth across all four target areas. Select highlights from the news release (see Allied Gold's press release dated October 29, 2025 available at alliedgold.com for full details) include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sekekoto West/S12: 33.0 metres @ 15.23 g/t Au (SARC 1699) and 25.0 metres @ 11.90 g/t Au (SARC1695)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tambali: 12.6 metres @ 18.87 g/t Au (SADD181) and 6.7 metres @ 8.74 g/t Au (SADD264)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FE2 Trend: 3.0 metres @ 28.19 g/t Au (SARC2318) and 8.0 metres @ 6.55 g/t Au (SARC2321)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• FE3/4 Trend: 18.0 metres @ 10.68 g/t Au (SARC1957) and 20.0 metres @ 5.53 g/t Au (SARC1948)

During fourth quarter, exploratory and resource drilling programs were conducted on the Sadiola license with a total of 130 holes drilled comprising 17,242 metres utilizing five exploration core and RC drill rigs. Resource and exploratory drilling programs continued and were expanded at the Sekekoto West, Tambali and FE4 deposits, along the FE2 Trend and testing the TK1 target during the quarter. A sterilization drill program over a proposed solar field and waste pile site to the east of the FE2.5 oxide deposit was completed with results for the waste pile site pending at year-end. For the year, Allied completed 831 holes of exploration and sterilization drilling totaling 80,370 metres.

Exploratory drilling at the Sekekoto West Deposit was extended to the north during the quarter with 26 holes totaling 2,638 metres drilled. This work resulted in extending the zone for another 200 metres for a total of approximately 900 metres to the north outside of the original 800 metre long pit design. Further drilling may be carried out once an IP survey is completed. The IP survey is designed to

trace the Sekekoto West host geology to the north and to provide enough data to create a 3D resistivity image of the S12 deposit which will be used to assist resource modelling of this karsted zone.

At the Tambali deposit, deeper core drilling of the fresh rock mineralization was completed in the third quarter. Drillhole intersections demonstrate good continuity of potentially economic mineralization to 320 metres depth. Additional drilling to test for oxide resources at the northeast portion of the Tambali Deposit commenced in the fourth quarter with 3 holes totaling 687 metres completed. Drilling to test for oxides will extend into the first quarter of 2026.

At FE4, a 199-hole drill program, now 43% completed, is being carried out to both upgrade inferred mineral resources to Indicated and test for extensions to the known mineralization. In the fourth quarter, 6 holes totaling 764 metres were completed. Access to the pit base during the quarter was limited by rainfall and active mining. Results to date have been encouraging. Drilling is expected to resume in 2026.

New drilling programs were initiated at Sadiola Main and TK1 during the quarter. The initial 10 of 17 holes, totaling 4,441 metres were completed at Sadiola Main. These holes are designed to test for the southern strike extensions of the deposit, test for additional oxide gold mineralization, infill areas where modelling information is needed and to test below previous drilling to begin to support an expansion of the reserve pit and/or to evaluate the underground potential.

At TK1, an oxide gold target located approximately 9 km to the southeast of the mill, 9 holes totaling 816 metres were completed in the quarter. In total, 29 holes comprising 2,774 metres were drilled to the completion of this initial program. Additional drilling is pending review of the results.

Drilling continued to the north of the FE2 pit with 2 holes totaling 323 metres drilled in the quarter. Oxide gold mineralization and potential gold mineralization has now been followed, more or less continuously for 4.7 kilometres and remains open to the north and, less so, to the south. Drilling will continue to test this limestone/clastic sediment contact with wide-spaced drill fences for another 2.5 kilometres to the north with a goal to exhibit potential for shallow oxide gold resources along the entire 7-plus kilometre long trend. In-fill drilling has commenced to the north of the FE2 pit to determine if an inferred mineral resource can be defined.

Seven holes, totaling 312 metres were completed over an oxide resource target (Stage 6 mine plan), located at the southeast side of the Sadiola Main Pit, to support an updated resource estimate and a 2026 plan to mine this mill-proximal oxide zone.

Sterilization drilling was completed over a planned solar field site and at a proposed waste dump immediately east of the FE2.5 oxide deposit. This work comprised 37 holes totaling 3,632 metres.

In 2026, Sadiola will see continued efforts with five drills dedicated to continue testing for, and extending, the gold mineralized structures at Sadiola Main, Tambali, FE2 Trend, Sekekoto Trend, FE3/FE4, TK1, Mandakoto and Kouloukan with an initial 2026 budget of $6.2 million. The exploration is focused on both oxide and shallow fresh mineralization with a preference for oxide gold mineralization in the near term. Oxide ore is favored 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 ongoing discovery/additions are high.

**Sadiola Protocol Agreement**

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a definitive protocol agreement (the "Agreement") with the Government of Mali (the "State"), providing for renewal of the exploitation permit for Sadiola, advancement of the nearby Korali-Sud property including the issuance of a definitive exploitation permit for large-scale mining and processing of mined ore at the Sadiola plant, and the fiscal and regulatory framework for the phased expansion of the operations. Subsequent to the Agreement, other producers in the country reached similar arrangements with the State. The Agreement establishes a strong foundation for certainty and consistency, and leads to the Company continuing to operate in-country and able to pursue growth plans that result in stronger production and cash flow.

In particular, the Agreement provides several benefits for the Company, setting the stage for advancing the Company's plans:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Permit Renewals:* The Exploitation Permit for the Sadiola Gold Mine has been renewed for ten years, and allows for further renewals after the initial ten-year term until all Mineral Reserves are depleted. This renewal enables operational continuity and supports the Company's phased expansion plan, which provide for the realization of Sadiola's inherent value.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Fiscal and Regulatory Stability:* The Agreement provides fiscal and regulatory stability, in which royalties align with the new mining code, although also provides for derogations from certain royalties. The derogations alone have substantial financial

value, as compared to the mining code itself. In addition, the Company's ownership of Sadiola remains at 80%, with the State owning a carried 20% (the State's ownership of Korali-Sud increased to 35% on January 8, 2025, whereas the Company retained 65%) and maintain rights to fiscal stability, mediation and arbitration. As the Company was the first to complete negotiations and discussions culminating in the Agreement, the Company also secured a most-favoured-nations right which allows for it to claim any right or benefit settled with other companies operating in-country. This framework supports the phased expansion at Sadiola, fostering increased production and cash flow and creating a foundation for optimization projects to enhance recoveries and throughput.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Approval of Korali-Sud*: Korali-Sud represented significant value and production and cash flow during 2025, advancing strategic goals at Sadiola.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Potential Upside through Joint Ventures:* The Company believes that entering into the Agreement has certain qualitative benefits which include increased goodwill which applies, in addition to other areas, to the pursuit of other in-country mining opportunities with the recently formed State mining company. These include nearby deposits which would benefit Sadiola.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• *Tax Stability:* Under the Agreement, Mali has agreed to abandon all outstanding claims related to the Company's customs, income and other tax matters up to the date of the Agreement, offering a clean slate for tax-related matters moving forward.

The Agreement also provides for certain payments to the State. On October 12, 2024 the Company made an initial upfront payment. The Company made the final payment of 25 billion CFA francs, or approximately $42.2 million on April 4, 2025. In addition, the Company also settled certain tax and other obligations. In accordance with IFRS, all amounts were expensed during the third quarter of 2024. Lastly, part of the Company's business plan, and reflected in the Agreement, is the Company undertaking to proceed with the phased expansion at Sadiola.

**Sadiola Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources** 

At Sadiola, newly discovered oxide mineralization at Sekekoto West – North Extension and FE2.5 has been incorporated into the 2026 mine plan, with a portion successfully converted to Mineral Reserves. To the southwest of Sadiola Main, the Tambali South zone continues to demonstrate strong potential at depth and along strike to the north. Additional mineralization discovered in 2025 has been included in the current update. An ongoing infill drilling program, together with geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations, is expected to support the conversion of additional Tambali South Mineral Resources to Mineral Reserves in 2026.

Please refer to Section 6: Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates for further details.

Bonikro produced 33,279 ounces of gold during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared with 20,259 ounces produced in the comparable quarter of the previous year.

For the fourth quarter, ore feed and grades were in line with plan, with slightly higher recoveries. Production in the fourth quarter was substantially increased from the previous quarter, benefiting from access to higher-grade ore due to the stripping completed earlier in the year. This performance builds on the operational improvements demonstrated throughout the year and is expected to continue into 2026, driven by the benefits of completing the stripping of pushback 5 in 2025, as well as other operational improvements.

For 2026, mine sequencing is expected to remain in higher-grade zones, as previously indicated, benefitting from mine development completed in 2025. Processing circuit optimization continues, with a focus on enhancing gravity recovery, circuit efficiency, and slurry control.

**ALLIED GOLD**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

Compared to 2025, waste stripping at Bonikro will be lower, providing increased flexibility in ore mining. This lower strip ratio is expected to be maintained through 2026 and 2027. Processing optimization continued, with a focus on gravity recovery, circuit efficiency, and slurry control. Power reliability also improved, contributing to greater plant stability.

For costs, as expected and guided, Bonikro's sustaining capital and AISC<sup>(1)</sup> continued to be impacted by capitalized stripping at PB5. Stripping activities conducted in 2025, will improve production and costs for upcoming years, as high grade ore will be exposed while significantly lower waste removal will be required.

During the fourth quarter, gold sales were slightly lower than production due to timing of production and shipments.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, Bonikro produced 100,678 ounces compared to 86,755 ounces in the comparative prior period. Higher production is the result of PB5 mining, as anticipated, along with higher throughput and recovery.

For costs, as expected and guided, Bonikro's sustaining capital and AISC<sup>(1)</sup> continued to be impacted by capitalized stripping at PB5. Stripping activities conducted in 2025, will improve production and costs for upcoming years, as high grade ore will be exposed while significantly lower waste removal will be required.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, gold sales were slightly lower than production, due to timing of sales.

**Hiré Exploration**

In the fourth quarter, drilling at Hiré focused on testing for oxides along the eastern extension of the Chapelle orebody and sterilization drilling to extend a waste dump near the Agbale open pit. In total 36 holes comprising 3,701.4 metres were drilled with the bulk of the holes completed with an RC drill.

During 2025, 610 holes totalling 38,244 metres of drilling were completed over the Hiré mine area with the bulk of the holes testing for near surface mineralization west and southwest of the Assondji So deposit and for potential underground mineralization below the Akissi So Deposit.

**Oumé Exploration**

No exploration drilling was conducted over the Oumé area at the northern end of the Properties during the quarter. However, 27 geotech and hydro geology holes totalling 3,240.5 metres were completed in support of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimation studies.

During 2025, 176 holes totalling 21,525.6 metres were completed over the Oumé area with the bulk of the holes infill drilling and testing for extensions of the Dougbafla Deposits.

Prospecting and mapping were advanced over the Oumé area in Q4, with a focus on gathering data over specific Au-in-soil anomalies, interpreted structures and induced polarization anomalies with a goal to test at least 5 new target areas in the first half of 2026.

**Bonikro Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource**

At Bonikro, additional Mineral Reserves were attributable to the inclusion of Phase 6, which also significantly extends mine life. Furthermore, at Oumé, exploration success and supporting technical studies resulted in the maiden declaration of Mineral Reserves, confirming the long-term growth potential of Allied's Côte d'Ivoire asset base.

Please refer to Section 6: Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates for further details.

Agbaou produced 26,534 ounces of gold during the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to 25,163 ounces in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. Production in the fourth quarter focused on higher-grade fresh ore from the West pits and medium-grade oxide ore from the South and North pits. Ore mined was in line with plan, consistent with the previously outlined strategy to advance waste stripping in earlier quarters. This enabled access to higher ore tonnage and increased throughput at the process plant in the fourth quarter and into 2026. Continued stripping of the West pits is expected to provide access to ore to support the 2026 production, including securing access to higher-grade ore in the first quarter of 2026, ahead of the start of the rainy season.

Costs for the fourth quarter, as anticipated, began decreasing, as the waste removal at WP 7 until the third quarter, benefited access to oxide ore in the fourth quarter of 2025 which had significantly less stripping, along with the successful implementation of a centralized management model.

The Company has now succeeded in implementing a centralized management model for both mines in CDI, streamlining processes, optimizing resources, and enhancing service delivery for sustainable growth, and lowering AISC<sup>(1)</sup>. The benefits of the centralized contractor model and the Hub-and-Spoke structure implemented are becoming more evident, enabling improved agility in managing shared resources and coordinating recovery efforts across sites. These enablers will be further embedded in the coming months as the

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

Company transitions from initiation to full execution. Looking ahead, execution discipline will remain central to delivering value in the second half. With deeper integration of the Hub-and-Spoke model, continued focus on plant optimization, and improved mining flexibility.

In addition to operational factors, the increased waste removal in 2025 allows for less reliance on short-term resource conversion to support production levels in 2026, creating a bridge to focus additional exploration spending at Agbaou on more transformational targets aimed to add ounces and with an objective to increase mine life at Agbaou by four to six years, with the completion of the first stage exploration program in 2026.

Gold sales during the quarter were slightly higher than production due to timing of shipments.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 Agbaou produced 84,523 ounces compared to 77,874 ounces in the comparative prior period reflecting the benefits of higher stripping earlier in 2025.

Gold sales for the year ended December 31, 2025 were in line with production, with minor variances due to timing of shipments

**Agbaou Exploration**

Allied is actively pursuing opportunities to extend the mine life by increasing Mineral Reserves through sustained drilling and other exploration efforts. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Allied completed 49 holes totalling 9,883.2 metres with up to five drills operating. These holes tested the down-dip extensions of known gold-bearing ore bodies and in one case, testing of a new gold zone. This sustained effort, which commenced in July 2025, comprises a minimum of 166 holes totalling 35,072 metres with a goal of adding several more years of mine life. This work program is approximately 52% completed and scheduled to finish near the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Soil sampling was initiated over the Agbaou West target in the fourth quarter of 2025 with 401 samples collected out of a total of 1,232 samples. During 2025, 1,781 soil samples were collected over three areas as part of an ongoing effort to define new mine-proximal drill targets.

Looking forward to 2026, testing of the known zones to depth will continue along with testing for oxide gold zones along strike of known deposits and new targets outside of the compensation boundaries.

**Agbaou Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource** 

At Agbaou, mining design parameters were refined, supported by additional geotechnical drilling, to improve operational efficiency and reduce dilution. The mining sequence was optimized to better balance waste-stripping pushback intensity. Furthermore, additional deep drilling, initially focused below West Pit 7, confirmed the geometry, width, and grade continuity of the mineralized structures currently being mined, significant de-risking the mine plan over the budget period and supporting a goal of further increasing Mineral Reserves.

Please refer to Section 6: Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates for further details.

For details on the Sadiola Expansion Project, please refer to the Sadiola section of Section 4 of this MD&A.

Notable progress relating to some the Company's development and advanced stage exploration include, but are not limited to the following:

**Kurmuk Project (100% Interest)**<sup>(7)</sup>**, Ethiopia**

***Kurmuk Project Summary***

The Kurmuk Project is a transformational development mine in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia. The Company holds an effective 100% ownership stake in the project; however, the Government of Ethiopia is entitled to a 7% equity participation in Kurmuk once the mine enters commercial production and certain governmental commitments such as public road upgrades and the finalized installation of a power line and substations. The power supply construction agreement is in development and is expected to be completed and energized ahead of first gold. An existing development agreement, signed with the Government of Ethiopia, spans an initial 20-year period and is renewable thereafter. The current project design encompasses the Dish Mountain and Ashashire deposits, with numerous exploration targets across the Kurmuk Project's expansive 1,450 km² exploration territory.

The Company made the decision to advance the project in 2023, and its construction has been funded by available cash on hand and cash flows from producing mines, and the Kurmuk stream and gold prepay entered into in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Key project details are as follow:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• First gold pour is expected mid-2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Currently defined 2.7 million ounces in Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Kurmuk is expected to deliver between 100,000 and 150,000 gold ounces for the partial year of production in 2026, an average production level of approximately 290,000 gold ounces per annum over the first four years and 240,000 gold ounces per annum over a 10-year mine life at industry-leading AISC<sup>(1)</sup> below $950 per ounce, based solely on Mineral Reserves. This represents a significant improvement over the original project, which was projected to average 200,000 ounces annually at similar capital costs, with further upside potential supporting an initial strategic target mine life of 15-years.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A mining plan utilizing conventional open pit mining techniques with internationally recognized mining contractors and a robust process design using proven technologies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A 2023 study proposed an increase in plant throughput from 4.4 Mt/y in the 2022 Definitive Feasibility Study to 6.0 Mt/y, representing a 38% increase. By utilizing existing major equipment and contractor mining, the proposed expanded project could be developed within the same capital requirements range as initially planned. The Company is now strategically targeting 6.4 Mt/y as further described below.

The project implementation team features strong African project delivery capabilities. Operational readiness remains a strategic focus, supported by active planning and phased preparation. Mineopex, a specialized operational readiness company based in South Africa, was selected to assist the operational team with the commissioning, ramp-up, and stabilization of operations in the early months of the project, to enhance organizational depth and provide training and development for the local workforce.

***Kurmuk Quarterly Progress***

The Company continues to track well against plan, both in terms of physical completion and spend, while achieving key milestones and progress during the fourth quarter of 2025.

The project is progressing well, with procurement and logistics of critical items substantially completed at year-end. The key focus during the quarter was on logistics for transporting equipment and materials to the site and ramping up steel and mechanical erection at the crushing circuit and the processing plant. Mining activities at Ashashire and Dish Mountain are progressing according to plan, with the objective of building at least three months worth of ore stockpiles to support the start of operations in mid-2026. Kurmuk continued mechanical activities throughout the first quarter, progressing the remaining earthworks at the tailings storage facility and haulage road, and advancing piping and electrical installation, other infrastructure, and ancillary facilities. The Ethiopian Electrical Power Company is advancing the power line construction, which is expected to be completed before commissioning. Pre-commissioning activities are planned to begin at the start of the second quarter, with the first gold expected in mid-2026.

**ALLIED GOLD**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

The key focus during the first quarter 2026 and the rest of the year is the completion and close-out of all remaining engineering and procurement activities, with particular emphasis on finalizing outstanding fabrication works and concluding all logistics arrangements for the transport of equipment, materials, and other long-lead items to site. This includes managing international and local supply chains, final inspections, expediting of critical items, and coordination of delivery schedules to align with site readiness and construction sequencing. Mobilization of the electrical, control and instrumentation contractor occurred in the first quarter of 2026, with the commencement of electrical, control and instrumentation work across the process plant and associated infrastructure areas. In parallel, piping installation will commence and ramp up across key plant circuits, enabling progressive completion of mechanical scopes and supporting downstream pre-commissioning activities. These activities will be closely coordinated with ongoing structural, mechanical, piping, and plate works to ensure efficient interface management across all work fronts. Bulk mining activities, initiated in the third quarter of 2025, will continue to ramp up in line with the production schedule, supporting the build-up of run-of-mine stockpiles and ensuring operational readiness for plant commissioning. The crushing circuit remains on track for early completion, which is critical to ensuring sufficient ore availability to support the targeted mid-year first gold milestone. Focus will be placed on achieving mechanical completion, testing, and handover of the crushing facilities to enable timely integration into the overall commissioning sequence. Overall construction activity is expected to reach peak levels, approximately 3,000 people, during the first quarter of 2026, with multiple disciplines progressing in parallel across the process plant, infrastructure, tailings, and mining areas. This peak period will be characterized by intensified site activity, increased manpower levels, and a strong focus on productivity, safety performance, quality control, and schedule adherence to ensure the project remains firmly on track to achieve its key operational milestones. Safety is the primary focus area during this period.

Pre-commissioning activities are planned to start at the beginning of the second quarter, with first gold expected for mid-2026. The Company expects Kurmuk to produce an average of 290,000 ounces per year for the first four years and 240,000 ounces per year on average for the mine's life, with AISC<sup>(1)</sup> below $950 per ounce.

Along with the advancement of engineering for 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 and Tsenge. Allied made a strategic decision to maximize the operational flexibility for Kurmuk since the start of operations, and is now targeting an average processing capacity of up to 6.4 Mt/y. This increased flexibility is being incorporated into the project execution, with subsequent modifications 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***

On November 27, 2025, Allied presented results of the exploration programs carried out over the Kurmuk Property during the period from mid 2024 to the middle of November 2025. The Company's five-year exploration goal for Kurmuk is to reach 5 million ounces of Mineral Resources, representing a sequential target of over 1.5 million ounces of new Mineral Resources in addition to the current inventory. The objective includes adding at least 0.5 million ounces of new Mineral Resources within 10 km of the mill, to sustain or exceed the initial gold production levels of approximately 290,000 ounces per annum. The exploration plan considers expanding on the existing Mineral Resources near both the Ashashire and Dish Mountain deposits, advancing exploration at Tsenge utilizing a combination of geophysical surveys, trenching and drilling with a focus on higher-grade and advancing exploration at three other prospects in the property. At both Dish Mountain and Ashashire, drilling continues to intersect lateral and vertical extensions of the deposits, as the limits to the mineralized system remain open. A significant amount of highly successful drilling and trenching was also carried out at Tsenge, confirming the strike extents of the gold-bearing system and depth extensions of the Hiccup Hill and Setota mineralized lenses, located at the southern end of the 9 km long Tsenge target. A first-pass drill program, which was completed over the Urchin Prospect located adjacent to the Ashashire haul road, yielded positive results and will require a follow-up drill program. Select exploration highlights from this news release (see Allied Gold's press release dated November 27, 2025 available at alliedgold.com for full details) include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Dish Mountain: 12.6 metres @ 2.93 g/t Au (DMDD774), 16.0 metres @ 2.61 g/t Au (DMDD765) and 9.3 metres @ 3.35 g/t Au (DMDD752)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tsenge - Hiccup Hill: 16.4 metres @ 13.0 g/t Au (TSDD041) and 10.0 metres @ 5.96 g/t Au (in trench TSCH012)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Tsenge - Setota: 10.5 metres @ 1.85 g/t Au (TSDD036) and 20.0 metres @ 1.11 g/t Au (TSDD036)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Urchin: 5.0 metres @ 3.47 g/t Au (ASRC031) and 4 metres @ 10.88 g/t Au (in trench URTR09)

During the fourth quarter, drilling was focused on resource extension drilling on the strike and depth extensions of Dish Mountain Resource, exploratory drilling and channel sampling continued at the Tsenge Prospect, the continuation of a new round of resource extension drilling at Ashashire, follow-up drilling over the Urchin Prospect and continued ROM and waste pad sterilization drilling. A total of 41 holes for 8,846 metres was drilled by five exploration drill rigs in the fourth quarter of 2025 with 157 holes totaling 30,635.5 completed in 2025. Reprioritization of additional extensional drilling at Dish Mountain will be carried out in early 2026 in conjunction with an updated resource estimate.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

At Tsenge, channel sampling was continued along road cut sections representing 1,936 metres of sampling in Q4, 2025 with 6,151 metres of road cut channel sampling completed in 2025. Results to date continue to be promising and lock in the surface locations of the zones being intersected by the drilling.

The drill program at Hiccup Hill and Setota, at the southern end of the Tsenge Prospect continues to focus on building out a potential inferred mineral resource on 80 metre spaced holes along the projected plunge of the interpreted higher grade sections of the mineralized lens. The Tsenge scout drilling program remained on hold during the quarter. Exploration over the remainder of the 8- kilometre long Tsenge prospect will consist first of an IP survey to prioritize targets areas along this very large feature. Some RC drilling may be carried out in advance of the IP survey across previously identified targets identified by strong Au-in-soil anomalies.

Drilling resumed at Ashashire early in the third quarter, to further test the depth extent of the mineralization with a longer-term goal of potentially deepening the ultimate Ashashire pit. Visual observations indicate that the zones were mostly intersected where expected with assays starting to trickle in. Along with depth testing of the Ashashire Deposit an effort will be made to further extend the deposit along strike and to discover additional nearby gold zone.

A drone magnetic survey and an induced polarization survey (over Tsenge and Ashashire) are also planned. All of this work is aligned with the Company's strategic objective of a 5 million ounce mineral inventory at Kurmuk.

***Kurmuk Power Purchase Agreement***

On August 19, 2024, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC, which owns the Kurmuk Project, entered into a definitive PPA with Ethiopian Electric Power to secure a reliable, competitive, and sustainable energy supply for Kurmuk throughout the life of the mine. This is an important milestone in the project's development, as a steady supply of hydroelectric power ensures that Kurmuk remains one of the lowest AISC<sup>(1)</sup> projects in the world. Ethiopia is a low-cost power producer, generating power almost entirely through hydroelectric sources, making it one of the most durable and cleanest power supplies globally.

Key Terms of the Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Term: The Power Purchase Agreement will be in effect for a period of twenty years and may be extended by mutual agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Energy Charge: The agreement secures a flat energy charge of $0.04 per kWh, applicable from the supply commencement date and remaining fixed for the entire term, providing cost certainty for the project.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Renewable Energy Source: The project will benefit from Ethiopia's predominantly renewable energy sources, aligning with the Company's commitment to sustainable mining practices.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transmission Line Construction: Electrical grid power will be supplied to the operation via a 75-kilometre, 132 kV power line, which is expected to be completed and energized ahead of first production in mid-2026, with substations at Asosa—a major city near the project—and at the project site. The government will provide the grid connection, which will increase their equity stake in Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC from 5% to 7%, as defined in the Kurmuk Development Agreement. On-site power will be distributed via a network of 11 kV power lines.

Securing the terms of the PPA marks a key milestone in advancing the Kurmuk Gold Project, cementing its path to becoming a low-cost producing mine for the Company. This agreement not only ensures the project's financial viability by locking in low energy costs but also reinforces Allied's strategic focus on leveraging sustainable energy solutions, positioning Kurmuk as a model for responsible mining in the region.

**Kurmuk Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource** 

At Kurmuk, work to refine the geological framework of the mineralization ahead of the start of operations is complete. This included developing a detailed litho-structural surface map of Dish Mountain, leveraging numerous rock exposures made available during pioneering and mining activities. Furthermore, the updated Mineral Resource models for Dish Mountain and Ashashire were generated to incorporate exploration and infill drilling completed since 2023. While Mineral Resources, Mineral Reserves, and the life-of-mine plan remain broadly consistent with the previous plan, the current update provides a robust model for production and enables optimization of the Dish Mountain mining sequence to balance waste stripping and integrate the high-grade mineralization from Ashashire into the production profile, effectively de-risking production and offering optimization opportunities for the future.

***Transaction with Zijin Gold***

Having been advised by Zijin Gold International Company Limited ("Zijin Gold") in January that their formal and detailed diligence and internal approval processes had been completed, and that Zijin Gold wished to proceed with a transaction which was in line with the Company's value expectations, the Company engaged in full negotiation on price and terms of a possible transaction. On January 26, 2026, following several weeks of detailed negotiations, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement" or the "Agreement"), pursuant to which Zijin Gold, a public company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, had agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Allied Gold (the "Transaction") at a price of C$44 per share (the "Offer Price") in cash, pursuant to the terms of a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the "Arrangement). The Board determined that the offer immediately achieved fair value realization while mitigating business risks, particularly in highly volatile markets, and Zijin Gold had demonstrated a strong track record of long-term asset stewardship and consequently, there was a suspension of the other strategic opportunities.

The en bloc equity value of the Company, taking into account the implied total value of the assets of the Company and cash on hand, pursuant to the Arrangement is approximately C$5.5 billion based on Allied Gold's common shares outstanding and the offer price to shareholders, realizing a significant, certain and immediate value for Allied Gold shareholders.

Benefits of the Arrangement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The strong fundamental value of Allied Gold, underpinned by two tier-one, generational mines with imminent and significant growth, positioning it as a differentiated asset base, has been validated by the Zijin Gold transaction, and is clearly reflected in the transaction terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Immediate and significant premium of approximately 27% to the 30-day volume-weighted average share price on the TSX prior to the announcement of the transaction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Consideration represents an all-time high for Allied's common share price.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All-cash offer that is not subject to a financing condition and that provides shareholders with immediate liquidity, crystallizing significant and certain value amid extreme volatility in gold prices, and reducing exposure to broader market volatility.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Strong deal certainty with a highly credible and leading global mining company as purchaser with the financial resources necessary to complete the Arrangement and a demonstrated track record of completed transactions in Canadian capital markets.

With the requisite Allied shareholder approval having been obtained on March 31, 2026 and regulatory approvals in progress, the goal remains to close as soon as possible and before the outside date in the Agreement, with the continuing objective of closing at the end of April, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of all required regulatory approvals and final court approval. Such regulatory approvals are currently underway in multiple jurisdictions, with Zijin Gold and Allied working cooperatively in a sensible and disciplined manner. While broader global geopolitical events and circumstances should not impact the progress of the regulatory process for the transaction, both companies monitor these events and circumstances and regularly discuss possible implications of those events and circumstances. There is no assurance that these events and circumstances will not have an impact on the transaction or timing for approvals nor that such approvals will be received. Both companies continue to demonstrate a strong commitment to complete the transaction. Further, the companies are working on an orderly transition, including site detailed visits, management integration planning, and evaluating further asset optimizations and opportunities aimed at unlocking future value for the asset platform.

***Overnight Marketed Equity Offering***

On October 20, 2025, the Company filed a prospectus supplement related to an overnight marketed equity offering. Pursuant to this offering, 7,143,200 common shares were issued at a price of C$27.35 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $139.6 million (CAD$195.3 million) and net proceeds of approximately $134.0 million (CAD$187.4 million).

***Gold Prepaid Forward Arrangement***

The Company has entered into Gold Prepaid forward arrangements with select lenders (the "Prepay Lenders"), for a total advance amount of $125.0 million. Under these arrangements, the Company will deliver to the Prepay Lenders an aggregate of 4,035 ounces of gold per month over a period of twelve months, starting in October 2026.

***NYSE Listing***

Allied began trading on the NYSE under the ticker symbol AAUC on June 9, 2025. Allied believes that listing on the NYSE will provide the Company with, among other things, access to a broader investor audience, increased sources of potential capital, improved trading

liquidity in Allied's common shares, and increased research coverage from U.S. investment banks. Finally, the listing is expected to provide the opportunity for broader index inclusion.

***Common Share Consolidation***

During the second quarter, in May of 2025, and in connection with the Company's application to list its common shares on the NYSE, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every three pre-consolidation common shares outstanding.

***Bought Deal Public Offering and Concurrent Block Trade***

During the second quarter, in April of 2025, the Company successfully closed on a bought deal public offering, and a significant shareholder of the Company completed a concurrent block trade transaction of common shares owned by such shareholder. The offering was for an aggregate of 17,250,000 common shares at a price of C$5.35 per share (on a pre-consolidation basis) for aggregate gross proceeds of $66.8 million (C$92.3 million). and net proceeds of $61.9 million (C$85.1 million).

Enhancing market liquidity remains a key objective for the Company. Over the past 18 months, average daily trading volume, measured over a 20-day period, has increased approximately ninefold. The significant shareholder's block trade and the Company's offering further improved trading liquidity in advance of the Company's listing on the New York Stock Exchange. These transactions also support broader index inclusion and additional investor interest, all of which should help the Company's share price better reflect the Company's intrinsic value per share.

The Company is using net proceeds from the offering to fund its optimization and growth initiatives, including advancing studies and engineering work to improve recoveries at Sadiola, supporting exploration and mine life extension studies in Côte d'Ivoire, and conducting additional exploration and development activities across its broader asset portfolio.

***Cash Flow Protection Program***

To further support its fully-funded plan, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into zero-cost gold collars, of 10,000 ounces per month, from April 2025 to December 2026, for a total of 210,000 ounces, with a put of $2,200 per ounce and a call of $3,125 per ounce, safeguarding against downside in gold price, and locking in significant cash flow improvements based on the minimum $2,200 floor price. In May 2025, the Company completed a gold price protection program that ensures a minimum price of $3,048 per ounce and full upside to $4,000 per ounce on gold production of 15,500 ounces per month from June 2025 through to March 2026, equalling a total of 155,000 ounces. Inclusive of already existing gold production under preceding gold price protection through March of 2026, this represents approximately 75% of total production in that period, thereby ensuring higher margins and cash flows as the Company completes the development of Kurmuk.

A program that allows the Company to share in further revenues above $4,594 has been implemented as a supplement to and part of the cash flow protection program. The program relies on $4,500 average rate gold call options with a cost of approximately $94 per option and covers the entirety of its remaining existing zero-cost collars from November 2025 to December 2026.

***Precious Metals Purchase Agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals***

On December 5, 2024 the Company entered into a streaming transaction with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. ("WPMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp., ("Wheaton"). Under the terms of the streaming agreement, Allied will receive an aggregate $175.0 million upfront cash payment (the "Advance Amount"), in four equal instalment payments, to support the funding of its growth strategy underpinned by the development of its low-cost, fully permitted, and highly prolific Kurmuk Project in Ethiopia. The Company has made all four draws.

WPMI will having the right to purchase 6.7% of payable gold from the Company's Kurmuk mine (the "Stream"), which will step down to 4.8% of payable gold after the delivery of 220,000 ounces of gold. WPMI will make ongoing payments of 15% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered under the Stream. The Stream will cover the existing Kurmuk mining licence and until 255,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to WPMI, any mineral interests located within a 50 km radius of the mining licence which are processed at the Kurmuk plant.

***Public Offering of Common Shares***

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company closed a public offering of common shares, resulting in a total issuance of 71.3 million common shares in the capital of the Company at a price of C$3.10 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $162.1 million (C$221.0 million). The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering to support the funding of its optimization and growth initiatives, including in relation to all rights and obligations dealing with and allowing for continuous management, optimizations, advancements, improvements and phased expansion of the Sadiola Mine, and in respect of costs associated with the Kurmuk development project. The Offering is part of the Company's previously announced broader financing plan, which also includes a gold stream and gold prepay facility on the Kurmuk Project, intended to enhance financial flexibility to unlock significant value.

***Precious Metals Purchase Agreement with Triple Flag Precious Metals***

On August 14, 2024, the Company closed the streaming transaction with Triple Flag International Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (collectively, "Triple Flag"). Under the terms of the agreement, Allied received a $53.0 million upfront cash payment (the "Advance Amount") and will receive an ongoing payment equal to 10% of the spot gold price. Triple Flag will have the right to purchase 3% of the payable gold produced at each of the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, subject to a step-down to 2% after set delivery thresholds.

The transaction recognizes the inherent value of the Company's CDI mines and implies a valuation multiple significantly higher than that at which the Company's shares were trading at the time and the price at which the Company went public. CDI comprises the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, which are located in Côte d'Ivoire within the Birimian Greenstone Belt. Allied is targeting a sustainable production platform of 180,000-200,000 gold ounces per annum on a combined basis and a mine life greater than 10 years, driven by an extensive exploration program, cost optimizations, and process improvements aimed at extending mine life and increasing value. The Company evaluated different financing options as part of this process, concluding that this transaction provides a much better cost of capital than any other alternative, including equity financing. The streaming agreement offers a competitive cost of capital based on Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves and remains favourable when assuming Mineral Resource conversion and exploration upside.

***Optimization Initiatives***

Management has continued on its optimization plan encompassing a series of enhancements at existing mines to improve efficiency and costs across all of the Company's mines. These enhancements include, among others, upgraded and improved power generation facilities, plant instrumentation upgrades, enhanced procurement and supply chain processes, improved management collaborations, and the provision of management and oversight of mining efforts undertaken by the Company's mining contractors, to drive improved mining performance. These efforts complement ongoing exploration initiatives aimed at extending mine life, primarily at the Company's mines in Côte d'Ivoire, as well as expanding the inventory of oxide ore at Sadiola.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;MINERAL RESERVE AND MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATES**

Please refer to Section 12: Cautionary Statements and Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting – Notes on Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources for further details.

**2025 Year-End Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources Summary**

Allied's near-term guidance and longer-term outlook are underpinned by its Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, which support the reliability and sustainability of the Company's production platform while providing flexibility to enhance near-term production and cash flows from high-yield, near-mine opportunities. During the year, Allied completed a comprehensive review of all its resource models and mining design parameters, incorporating new exploration and production information, standardized geological modelling processes and mining design assumptions, particularly with respect to mining selectivity and dilution. These adjustments were intended to strengthen ore control practices and improve short-term operational predictability. Allied remains confident that ongoing exploration efforts will continue to grow mineral inventories, with the objective of delivering additional growth during 2026. This has been demonstrated with the declaration of Mineral Reserves at Oumé for the first time in 2025, significantly increasing the LOM at Bonikro, along with the inclusion of Stage 6.

As of December 31, 2025, Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves were reported at 11.2 million ounces of gold, contained within 247.1 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. This represents a net year-over-year increase, reflecting the addition of new Mineral Reserves, replacing depletion from 2025 production, and updates to economic and design assumptions. Total Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources stood at 15.3 million ounces of gold, contained within 336.7 million tonnes at a grade of 1.41 g/t. The modest decrease from 2024 is primarily attributable to the recategorization of some Indicated Mineral Resources to Inferred Mineral Resources. Inferred Mineral Resources, at year-end totalled 2.1 million ounces contained within 54.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.20 g/t, increasing from 1.4 million ounces from the prior year, reflecting the Company's progress on increasing its mineral inventories.

Further details on a mine-by-mine basis can be found in the Review of Operations section of this MD&A, along with the Construction section for Kurmuk.

The Company's 2025 year-end statement is provided below.

---

Total assets were $2,123.7 million as at December 31, 2025, compared to total assets of $1,319.9 million as at December 31, 2024. The Company's asset base is primarily non-current assets such as property plant and equipment, mining interests and exploration and evaluation assets. This reflects the capital-intensive nature of the mining business and previous growth through acquisitions. Other significant assets include cash and cash equivalents, inventories, prepayments and other receivables (comprising value-added taxes in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates). Notable changes from the prior year are related to capital expenditures at Kurmuk and Sadiola Phase 1, general increases to property, plant and equipment due to ongoing operations, and general changes to working capital with a decrease in finished goods inventory related to Korali-Sud ore at Sadiola, an increase in ore stockpiles and a significant increase to cash and cash equivalents.

Total liabilities as at December 31, 2025, were $1,619.0 million compared to $903.6 million as at December 31, 2024. The increase is predominantly attributable to unrealized mark-to-markets on the Company's gold collars and convertible debentures, deferred revenue liabilities related to the Wheaton Precious Metals draws and Prepaid Gold arrangements, and general timing on accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by payments under the claim settlement. Other significant liabilities include: provision of closure & reclamation, deferred and contingent consideration, trade and other payables, and income taxes (payable and deferred).

**Cash and Working Capital**

Cash and cash equivalents were $479.8 million as at December 31, 2025, compared to $225.0 million as at December 31, 2024. Cash balances were positively impacted by significant operating cash flows associated with the increase in sales quantities and gold prices, proceeds from stream and prepaid gold arrangements and successful equity raises. This was offset by capital expenditures at Kurmuk and Sadiola Phase 1, general increases to property, plant and equipment due to ongoing operations, and general changes to working capital. The Company has sufficient cash on hand, and liquidity to fully manage its business. The Company believes that it is able to meet its obligations as they come due with funds from cash flows from operating activities.

Net working capital<sup>(3)</sup> was a deficit of $70.5 million at December 31, 2025, compared to $60.6 million at December 31, 2024. Working capital in the current period is affected by the short-term liabilities associated with the gold collars, which become payable when, on settlement, gold price average for the period exceed the collar's upper limit. While settlements result in a cash outlay, such outlays are triggered by revenue cash generating events, with the proceeds of the sale at prices exceeding that limit providing the necessary funds for settlement.

**Total Borrowings**

The total borrowings, including the convertible debentures of the Company at December 31, 2025 were $154.3 million compared to $96.4 million as at December 31, 2024.

Current borrowings are associated with the convertible debentures, net of transaction costs, and movements from the prior period are fully associated with the mark-to-market of the instrument.

**Operating Activities**

Net cash generated from operating activities for the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $189.3 million. This compares to $50.9 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Current period cash from operating activities was positively impacted by significantly higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. Prior year cash flows were further negatively impacted by the settlement of claim matters and higher income taxes paid. Working capital impact for the quarter is related to normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable, along with year-end accruals.

Operating cash flows before income tax paid, government settlements and movements in working capital for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased significantly, at an inflow of $227.1 million compared with the prior year comparative quarter inflow of $141.0 million, due to higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. The impact of higher sales was partially offset by lower proceeds from stream arrangements and prepays in the current period.

Working capital movement<sup>(6)</sup> for the three months ended December 31, 2025 impacted cash flows by $37.8 million, compared to $15.0 million in the prior year comparative quarter. Working capital impact for the quarter is related to normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable, along with year-end accruals.

Net cash generated from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $514.0 million compared to an inflow of $110.8 million in the prior year comparative period. Current period cash from operating activities was positively impacted by significantly higher gold sales and higher realized gold prices. Prior year cash flows were further negatively impacted by the settlement of claim matters and higher income taxes paid. Working capital impact for the year is related to increases in VAT receivable balances, along with normal course movements in inventory (including stockpiles) and timing of accounts payable.

 **8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;ECONOMIC TRENDS, BUSINESS RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES**

Exploration, development and mining of precious metals involve numerous risks as a result of the inherent nature of the business, global economic trends, and the influences of local social, political, environmental and economic conditions in the various geographical areas of

operation. As such, the Company is subject to several financial and operational risks that could have a significant impact on its profitability and levels of operating cash flows.

Below is a summary of the principal financial risks and related uncertainties facing the Company. Readers are also encouraged to read and consider the risk factors and related uncertainties as described in the Annual Information Form of the Resulting Issuer, which is available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com. Such risk factors could materially affect the future operating results of the Company and could cause actual events to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements.

**METAL PRICE RISK**

The Company's profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of metals that may be produced from the

Company's properties, primarily gold. Market price fluctuations of these precious metals could adversely affect profitability of operations and lead to impairments of mineral properties. Metal prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including but not limited to supply and demand, consumption patterns, macroeconomic factors (interest, exchange, inflation), banking and political conditions, nature and climate condition risks, and mining specific factors.

![chart-2af2f346f51d4f7a9aaa.jpg](chart-2af2f346f51d4f7a9aaa.jpg)

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, spot gold prices averaged $4,135 per ounce, compared to $2,663 per ounce during the comparative prior year quarter. During the period, the highest price was $4,449 per ounce and the lowest price was $3,872 per ounce.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, spot gold prices averaged $3,432 per ounce, compared to $2,389 per ounce in the prior year. During the period, the highest price was $4,449 per ounce and the lowest price was $2,633 per ounce.

Gold prices reached another all-time high in the fourth quarter of 2025, surpassing $4,000 per ounce and providing a year-to-date return of over 65%. Geopolitical and economic uncertainty contributed to gold's strength. Structural demand from investors seeking diversification continues to support the gold price, as global ETF holdings increased overall in the fourth quarter. Central banks have been net buyers of gold in 2025 with Poland, Kazakhstan, and Brazil having the largest reported official-sector gold purchases.

In the short-term, gold prices are likely to continue to be driven by geopolitical risks, macroeconomic concerns, and the US Federal Reserve policy signals. Looking forward, heightened global economic and geopolitical uncertainty combined with sustained interest from investors and central banks should be supportive of gold over the longer term.

**CURRENCY RISK**

Currency fluctuations may affect the Company's assets and liabilities and the costs that the Company incurs at its operations. Gold is sold throughout the world based principally on a US Dollar price, but a significant portion of the Company's operating and capital expenses are incurred in West African CFA franc (XOF). XOF is pegged to the Euro at a fixed rate of 655.957 per Euro. This effectively means the Company primary currency exposure is to the Euro.

All else being equal, a higher USD/EUR exchange rate will result in lower costs to the Company when measured in its reporting currency of USD.

![chart-66052c7ac0af4103931a.jpg](chart-66052c7ac0af4103931a.jpg)

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the average USD/EUR exchange rate was 1.1641, the lowest was 1.1482, and the highest was 1.1795. The rate at the end of the period was 1.1746.

For the year ended December 31, 2025 the average USD/EUR exchange rate was 1.1304, the lowest was 1.0244, and the highest was 1.1867.

**9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTINGENCIES**

The Company may be involved in disputes with other parties in the future that may result in litigation. If the Company is unable to resolve these disputes favourably, it may have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

**10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES**

**BASIS OF PREPARATION**

The Company's Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IFRS"). The significant accounting policies applied are described in note 3 - Summary of Material Accounting Policies of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Adoption of new accounting standards**

*Amendment to IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange*

On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Amendment to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange" ("IAS 21"), which specifies how to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not exchangeable. The amendment specifies that a currency is exchangeable when it can be exchanged through market or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and the specified purpose. For non-exchangeable currencies, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an orderly exchange transaction between market participants at the measurement date under prevailing economic conditions. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**New accounting standards issued but not yet effective**

*IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements.*

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements" ("IFRS 18") replacing IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, disclosures on management-defined performance measures, and requirements to improve the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. As a result of IFRS 18, amendments to IAS 7 were also issued to require that entities use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and also to remove presentation alternatives for interest and dividends paid and received. Similarly, amendments to IAS 33 "Earnings per Share" were issued to permit disclosure of additional earnings per share figures using any other component of the statement of profit or loss, provided the numerator is a total or subtotal defined under IFRS 18. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

*Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures*

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9") and IFRS 7. The amendments include the clarification of the date of initial recognition or derecognition of financial liabilities, including financial liabilities that are settled in cash using an electronic payment system. The amendments also introduce additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency regarding investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026,and are not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

*Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures*

On December 18, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to help companies better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts. The amendments clarify the factors an entity would consider when assessing whether a renewable electricity contract qualifies for the own-use exemption under IFRS 9, as well as hedge accounting requirements for when a renewable electricity contract is designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of forecasted sales or purchases of electricity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively, however prior periods need not be restated to reflect the application of the amendments. The Company does not currently have such contracts in effect and therefore does not expect the adoption of the amendment to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

**CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES**

In preparing the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. Critical accounting estimates represent estimates that are uncertain and for which changes in those estimates could materially impact the Company's consolidated financial statements. Actual future outcomes may differ from present estimates. Management reviews its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using the most current information available.

The critical judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the application of accounting policies during the year ended December 31, 2025 are disclosed in note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements - Critical Judgements and Estimation Uncertainties.

**11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NON-GAAP FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES**

The Company has included certain non-GAAP financial performance measures to supplement its Consolidated Financial Statements, which are presented in accordance with IFRS, including the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash costs per gold ounce sold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• AISC per gold ounce sold;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gross profit excluding DDA;

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Sustaining, Expansionary and Exploration Capital Expenditures;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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<sup>(1)</sup>, AISC<sup>(1)</sup>, Gross profit excluding DA<sup>(1)</sup>, Sustaining<sup>(1)</sup>, Expansionary<sup>(1)</sup> and Exploration Capital Expenditures<sup>(1)</sup>, Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)<sup>(1)</sup>, Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per Share<sup>(1)</sup>, EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup> and Adjusted EBITDA<sup>(1)</sup>, 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 intend 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<sup>(1)</sup> 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<sup>(1)</sup> 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<sup>(1)</sup> 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<sup>(1)</sup> include cash costs<sup>(1)</sup> (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<sup>(1)</sup> 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<sup>(1)</sup> include 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<sup>(1)</sup> 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. Further, in relation to Bonikro, as the 2025 waste stripping benefits not only 2025 but also the following two years of production, the AISC per ounce sold figure accounts for the allocation of the stripping spend over the ounces it benefits through 2027.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

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<sup>(1)</sup> and AISC<sup>(1)</sup>. Subtotals and per unit measures may not calculate based on amounts presented in the following tables due to rounding.

**GROSS PROFIT EXCLUDING DDA**

The Company uses the financial measure "Gross Profit excluding DDA" 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.

Gross profit excluding DDA is calculated as Gross Profit plus DDA.

The Company discloses Gross Profit excluding DDA<sup>(1)</sup> 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 in Section 1: Highlights and Relevant Updates of this MD&A, under the Summary of Financial Results and Section 4: Review of Operations and Mine Performance, for the relevant mines.

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

**ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) AND ADJUSTED NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE**

The Company uses the financial measures "Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)"<sup>(1)</sup> and the non-GAAP ratio "Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss) per share"<sup>(1)</sup> 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)<sup>(1)</sup> and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)<sup>(1)</sup> 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) related to the reverse takeover transaction events and other items,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) on the revaluation of historical call and put options,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unrealized Gains (losses) on financial instruments and embedded derivatives,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Write-offs (reversals) on mineral interest, exploration and evaluation and other assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) on sale of assets,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses),

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Share-based (expense) and other share-based compensation,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) related to revaluation of deferred income tax asset and liability on non-monetary items,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Deferred income tax recovery (expense) on the translation of foreign currency inter-corporate debt,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• One-time tax adjustments to historical deferred income tax balances relating to changes in enacted tax rates,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Non-recurring provisions,

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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)<sup>(1)</sup> and Adjusted Net Earnings (Loss)<sup>(1)</sup> 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 Loss to attributable to Shareholders of the Company to Adjusted Net Earnings can be found in Section 1: Highlights and Relevant Updates of this MD&A, 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<sup>(1)</sup> 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<sup>(1)</sup>, 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) on the revaluation of historical call and put options,

**NOTES ON MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES**

Mineral Resources are stated effective as at December 31, 2025 are estimated in accordance with the 2014 Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves ("CIM Standards") and National Instrument 43-101 *Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects* ("NI 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 estimated in accordance with CIM Standards and NI 43-101. The Mineral Reserves:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reflect that portion of the Mineral Resources which can be economically extracted by open pit methods;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• consider the modifying factors and other parameters, including but not limited to the mining, metallurgical, social, environmental, statutory and financial aspects of the project;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• include an allowance for mining dilution and ore loss.

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

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:

**INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING**

**Management's Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting ("ICFR")**

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting ("ICFR"), as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act") and National Instrument 52-109 Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"). ICFR is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS. Any system of ICFR, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

Beginning with the Company's second annual report following its listing on the NYSE, for 2026 financial results, the Company will be required to provide a management report on ICFR and the Company's independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to the effectiveness of ICFR once the Company is subject to the auditor attestation requirements under Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has designed ICFR based on the framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) and conducted an evaluation of the design and operating effectiveness of the Company's ICFR as of December 31, 2025.

In connection with the preparation and audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified deficiencies in its ICFR which were deemed to aggregate to a material weakness. A "material weakness" is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in ICFR such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses relate primarily to deficiencies in the Company's information technology general controls ("ITGCs") predominantly related to legacy systems and deficiencies in the Company's process-level IT application controls, including weaknesses in access management, segregation of duties, and control execution, which collectively create a reasonable possibility that the Company's ICFR would not prevent or detect a material misstatement on a timely basis.

![allied-goldxlogoxonxwhitea.jpg](allied-goldxlogoxonxwhitea.jpg) \| 59

**ALLIED GOLD**

**MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

***For the year ended December 31, 2025***

The Company has concluded that the material weaknesses resulted from limitations in its processes, systems, and resourcing, resulting in a pervasive potential impact to the consolidated financial statements. The control environment, systems architecture, documentation standards, and available resources require further redesign to meet the necessary formalized internal control, governance, and documentation requirements.

Based on this evaluation, the Company's Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2025, the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting. Notwithstanding the material weaknesses, management has concluded that the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025, present fairly in all material respects, the Company's financial position, results of operations, changes in equity and cash flows in accordance with IFRS. There were no changes to previously released financial results.

The Company's registered public accounting firm has not performed an attestation of the Company's ICFR in accordance with the established rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

**Changes in ICFR** 

During the three months and year ended December 31, 2025, the Company identified the aforementioned material weaknesses, and consequently, its ICFR were deemed to be ineffective. Other than in respect of the material weakness and related remediation, during the year ended December 31, 2025, no change occurred in the Company's ICFR that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's ICFR.

**Management's Remediation Plan** 

The Company has developed and initiated a comprehensive remediation plan designed to strengthen the Company's internal control environment and support sustainable public-company compliance, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completing enhancements and redesign of ITGCs for certain legacy systems;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to perform ICFR and IT risk assessments and implementing additional control activities responsive to identified risks (including enhancements to IT general controls);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Implementing automated controls and system-based validations, where feasible, to reduce reliance on manual processes and strengthen control consistency;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Improving documentation and retention practices to ensure audit-ready support including clear supporting data sources, and evidence of timely review and approval in accordance with internal control and governance requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Completing the formalization of policies and procedures across finance and IT functions to align with public company governance standards and NYSE listing requirements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Continuing to engage a third-party advisor to support the SOX readiness efforts and to assist with control design, documentation, and testing in preparation for compliance with Section 404.

While management is making improvements to the Company's control environment and business processes to support and scale with its growing operations, the remediation process is ongoing and the material weaknesses have not yet been fully remediated. The Company may not be able to fully remediate the material weaknesses until these steps have been completed and the internal controls have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time.

This evaluation process, including testing the effectiveness of the remediation efforts, is expected to be substantially concluded prior to December 31, 2026, but may extend into 2027.

**Disclosure Controls and Procedures ("DCP")**

The Company maintains DCPs, designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act and National Instrument 52-109 - Certification of Disclosure in Issuers' Annual and Interim Filings ("NI 52-109"), and other reports filed or submitted under securities legislation is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. Our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of the Company's DCPs as of December 31, 2025, have concluded that, by implication of the aforementioned material weaknesses, the Company's DCPs were not effective in providing reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its annual filings, interim filings, or other reports filed or submitted by it under securities legislation is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the securities legislation, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

**Control and Procedure Limitations**

The Company's management, including the Chairman & Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, recognize that any ICFR and DCP, no matter how well designed or operated, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance that the objectives of the control system are achieved.

**MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING**

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied" or "the Company") and the information in these annual financial statements are the responsibility of management and have been reviewed and approved by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management on a going concern basis in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). When alternative accounting methods exist, management has chosen those it deems most appropriate in the circumstances. Financial statements are not exact since they include certain amounts based on estimates and judgments. Management has determined such amounts on a reasonable basis in order to ensure that the financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects.

The Company maintains systems of internal accounting and administrative controls in order to provide, on a reasonable basis, assurance that the financial information is relevant, reliable and accurate and that the Company's assets are appropriately accounted for and adequately safeguarded.

The Board of Directors is responsible for ensuring that management fulfills its responsibilities for financial reporting and is ultimately responsible for reviewing and approving the financial statements. The Board carries out this responsibility principally through its Audit Committee ("Committee"). The Audit Committee is appointed by the Board, and all of its members are independent directors. The Committee reviews the consolidated financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and the external Auditor's report; examines the fees and expenses for audit services; and considers the engagement or reappointment of the external auditors. The Committee reports its findings to the Board of Directors for its consideration when approving the consolidated financial statements for issuance to the shareholders.

The consolidated financial statements have been audited by KPMG LLP (Auditor Firm ID: 85), an independent registered public accounting firm, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). KPMG LLP has full and free access to the Audit Committee. Their report follows.

**REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM**

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Allied Gold Corporation

***Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements***

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Allied Gold Corporation (the Company) as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of earnings (loss), other comprehensive earnings (loss), changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

***Basis for Opinion***

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

***Critical Audit Matter***

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

***Assessment of the provision for reclamation and closure costs***

As discussed in Note 24 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company's provision for reclamation and closure costs was $187,623 thousand as at December 31, 2025. As discussed in Note 5, the provision for reclamation and closure costs is determined using estimates of the scope, timing and amount of future costs the Company will incur to complete the reclamation and closure work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. Future changes to environmental laws and regulations could change the scope of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company.

We identified the assessment of the provision for reclamation and closure costs as a critical audit matter, specifically the scope of the work required and the associated cost estimates. Significant auditor judgement was required to evaluate the estimates as determined by the Company's specialists. These estimates were challenging to evaluate, as any minor changes could have had a significant effect on the Company's determination of the provision for reclamation and closure costs.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's process to determine the amount of the provision for reclamation and closure costs obligations and development of significant estimates. This included controls related to assessments of the scope of work and determination of the costs required. We evaluated the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the Company's specialists who estimated the scope of rehabilitation work required and associated cost of the rehabilitation by assessing their professional qualifications, industry experience and familiarity with applicable legislative requirements. We assessed a sample of the future costs to be

incurred to reclaim the mine sites by comparing to relevant supporting evidence, including mine closure plans, and third-party cost estimates.

**ALLIED GOLD**

**NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024

*(Tabular amounts in thousands of US dollars, unless otherwise noted)*

**1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NATURE OF OPERATIONS**

Allied Gold Corporation ("Allied Gold" or "the Company") was incorporated under the British Columbia Business Corporations Act but completed the endorsement process to continue as an Ontario Corporation on September 7, 2023. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the ticker symbol AAUC. In addition, its publicly traded convertible debentures are listed on the TSX, trading in U.S. dollars under the symbol AAUC.DB.U. The registered office of the Company is located at Royal Bank Plaza, North Tower, 200 Bay Street, Suite 2200, Toronto, Ontario M5J 2J3.

The Company is an emerging gold producer, operator and majority owner (through its subsidiaries) of the following producing gold mines and gold development project:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Sadiola Mine, located in Mali (the "Sadiola mine", 80% interest), comprising two separate mining licences (the Sadiola Licence and the Korali-Sud Licence (previously referred to as Diba, 100% interest as at December 31, 2024, 65% as at January 8, 2025)) although integrated as a single operation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Bonikro Mine located in Côte d'Ivoire (the "Bonikro mine", 89.89% interest). The Bonikro mine comprises two separate mining licences (the Bonikro Licence and Hiré Licence) although integrated as a single operation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Agbaou Mine, located in Côte d'Ivoire (the "Agbaou mine", 85% interest); and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the Kurmuk Gold Project, located in Ethiopia (the "Kurmuk project", 100% interest).

**2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION**

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") effective as of December 31, 2025. Accounting policies are consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.

On May 20, 2025, the Company completed a share consolidation on the basis of one post-consolidation common share for every three pre-consolidation common shares outstanding. All previously reported common share, RSU, DSU, PSU, stock option, and earnings per share amounts have been retrospectively restated in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements to reflect the 3:1 share consolidation, unless otherwise noted.

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 31, 2026.

**3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

**Basis of consolidation**

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over an investee, when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from the investee and when the Company has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date control is obtained until the date control ceases. Where the Company's interest in a subsidiary is less than 100%, the Company recognizes non-controlling interests. Intercompany assets and

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 11

| Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC | Ethiopia | Gold mine in development in Ethiopia | **100.00%** | 100.00% |

---

**Foreign currency**

The functional and presentation currency of the Company and each of its subsidiaries is the US Dollar. Transactions in currencies other than the Company's or a subsidiary's functional currency ("foreign currencies") are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at that date. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not re-translated. Income statement items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the average exchange rates prevailing during the year, with the exception of depletion, depreciation and amortization which is translated at historical exchange rates. Foreign exchange gains and losses are included in net earnings/loss. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to income taxes, if any, are reported within the income tax expense line in the Company's consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

**Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash**

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insigniﬁcant risk of changes in value. These are classiﬁed as ﬁnancial assets at amortized cost.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Restricted cash relates to cash amounts that are restricted due to statutory or other requirements within the jurisdictions that the Company operates in.

**Inventories**

Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Obsolete and redundant stock is written off as identified during regular reviews. Slow-moving obsolescence provisions are determined by reference to specific items of stock on a systematic basis, considering critical and non-critical stock as well as the most recent utilization of stock in the provision. Any items identified as damaged or obsolete are directly expensed.

Gold bullion, gold in doré, metal in circuit and ore stockpiles are physically measured or estimated and valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated future sales price of the product the entity expects to realize when the product is processed and sold, less estimated costs to complete production and bring the product to sale.

Stockpiles represent ore that has been mined and is available for further processing. Stockpiles are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile. Stockpile ore tonnages are verified by periodic surveys. Costs are allocated to stockpiles based on the current mining cost per tonne incurred up to the point of stockpiling the ore, including applicable overhead, depletion and amortization relating to mining operations, to the extent determined recoverable, and are removed at the average cost per tonne. If the ore stockpile is not expected to be processed within 12 months of the reporting date, it is included in non-current assets.

In-circuit represents material that is currently being treated in the processing plant to extract the contained gold and to transform it to a saleable form. The in-circuit inventory is valued at the average of the beginning inventory and the costs of material fed into the process

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 12

------

plus in-circuit conversion costs, including applicable overhead costs, such as depreciation and amortization, incurred in converting materials into finished goods, based on the normal production capacity.

Finished goods inventory consists of doré bars containing gold, which are refined off-site to return gold bullion. Doré inventory is valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realizable value.

**Mineral property, plant and equipment** 

***Cost***

Mineral property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any identified impairment loss. The cost comprises the purchase price, together with any incidental expense of acquisition.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All repairs and maintenance expenses are charged to the statement of earnings or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Mine development costs include expenditure in respect of exploration and evaluation, previously accumulated and carried forward in relation to areas of interest in which development or construction is underway.

Mining interests are recorded when acquired as part of a business combination or when reclassified from exploration and evaluation assets. They are measured on initial recognition at cost or at fair value when acquired as part of a business combination. Following initial recognition, they are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.

Under the standards, the concept of fair value, in the context of a business combination, considers assumptions as to how market participants would benefit from use of the acquired assets. Market participants would include all potential buyers whether or not the potential buyer is engaged in discussions with the seller of the business.

***Depreciation and Amortization***

Depreciation begins when an asset is available for its intended use and is spread over its useful lives so as to expense the cost of property, plant and equipment (other than properties under construction) using the straight-line method or unit of production ("UoP") based on ounces produced, as appropriate, not exceeding the life of the mine, as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Asset** | **Useful life** |
| Mineral properties and stripping costs | UoP |
| Buildings and site improvements | UoP |
| Processing plant, mobile equipment, office equipment and vehicles | 1-8 years |

---

Each item's economic life has due regard to both its physical life limitations and to present assessments of economically recoverable reserves of the mine property at which it is located.

When parts of an item of mineral property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of mineral property, plant and equipment.

The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Mining interests are amortized over their useful lives. The useful life is assessed on the basis of terms set up by the mineral license (contract) and estimated mineral reserves subject to such license (contract). The remaining useful life of each mining interest is reassessed annually on the basis of the latest life-of-mine models. The mining interests are amortized on a units of production basis. Amortization of mining interests is charged to cost of sales for the period.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of mineral property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the statement of earnings or loss.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 13

------

***Major maintenance and repairs***

Expenditures on major maintenance refits or repairs comprise the cost of replacement assets or parts of assets and overhaul costs. Where an asset or part of an asset that was fully depreciated or written off is replaced, and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company through an extended life, the expenditure is capitalized.

**Exploration and evaluation** 

Exploration and evaluation expenditures comprise expenditures incurred in respect of resource projects that are in the exploration and evaluation stage. Exploration and evaluation expenditures include costs which are directly attributable to acquisition and evaluation activities, assessing technical feasibility and commercial viability. These expenditures are capitalized until the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting the mineral resource of a project are demonstrable. During the exploration period, exploration and evaluation assets are not amortized.

Drilling and related costs incurred to define and delineate a mineral deposit that has not been classified as proven and probable reserves at a development stage or production stage mine are classified as brownfield activities and are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related property in the period incurred, when management determines that there is sufficient evidence that the expenditure will result in a future economic benefit to the Company.

At the end of each reporting period, exploration assets are reviewed for impairment indicators in accordance with IFRS 6.20, such as:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;i)The period for which the entity has the right to explore in the specific area has expired during the period or will expire in the near future, and is not expected to be renewed.

ii)Exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources in the specific area have not led to the discovery of commercially viable quantities of mineral resources and the entity has decided to discontinue such activities in the specific area. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

iii)Sufficient data exist to indicate that, although a development in the specific area is likely to proceed, the carrying amount of the exploration and evaluation asset is unlikely to be recovered in full of successful development or by sale.

If such indicators exist, the asset is tested for impairment and the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

The costs of exploration assets are not subject to amortization until they are included in the life-of-the-mine plan and production has commenced.

Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource of a project are demonstrable, typically at the point at which a National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant reserve is determined, the exploration assets are deemed to move into the development phase. The relevant asset is assessed for impairment, and any impairment loss recognized, prior to the balance being reclassified either as a development asset in property, plant and equipment if the Company is deemed to have control over the business, or as a joint venture should the Company have joint control. The development asset is subject to the requirements of IAS 36, which requires assets to be assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting period.

The determination of the demonstration of technical feasibility and commercial viability is subject to a significant degree of judgment and assessment of all relevant factors. In general, technical feasibility may be demonstrable once a positive feasibility study is completed. When determining the commercial viability of a project, in addition to the receipt of a feasibility study, the Company also considers factors such as the availability of project financing, the existence of markets and/or long-term contracts for the product, and the ability of obtaining the relevant operating permits.

All subsequent expenditures to ready the property for production are capitalized within development assets, other than those costs related to the construction of property, plant and equipment.

Once production has commenced, all costs included in development assets are reclassified to mine development costs.

Drilling and related costs for general exploration incurred on sites without an existing mine, incurred before the Company has obtained legal rights to mine a specific area of interest, or on areas outside the boundary of a known mineral deposit which contains mineral reserves or mineral resources, and for which there is not sufficient geologic certainty for conversion into mineral reserves, are classified as exploration expenditures.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 14

------

**Capitalized stripping costs**

Stripping (waste removal) costs are incurred during both the development phase and the production phase of mining. Capitalization of waste stripping requires the Company to make judgements and estimates in determining the amounts to be capitalized. In open pit mining operations, it is necessary to incur costs to remove overburden and other mine waste materials in order to access the ore body ("stripping costs"). During the development of a mine, stripping costs are capitalized and included in the carrying amount of the related mining property.

During the production phase of a mine, stripping costs will be recognized as an asset only to the extent that the following conditions are met:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• It is probable that the future economic benefit (improved access to the ore body) associated with the stripping activity will flow to the entity;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The entity can identify the component of the ore body (mining phases) for which access has been improved; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The costs relating to the stripping activity associated with that component can be measured reliably.

Where the benefits are realized through inventory produced in the period, the related stripping costs are recorded in the cost of inventory. Otherwise, if any of the criteria are not met, the production stripping costs are charged to earnings or loss as operating costs as they are incurred. If the costs of the inventory produced and the stripping cost asset are not separately identifiable, a relevant production measure is used to allocate the production stripping costs between the inventory produced and the stripping cost asset. This production measure is calculated for the identified component of the ore body and is used as a benchmark to identify the extent to which the additional activity of creating a future benefit has taken place. The Company uses the expected volume of waste extracted compared with the actual volume for a given volume of ore production of each component.

Stripping costs incurred and capitalized during the development and production phase are depleted using the unit-of production method over the reserves of the area that directly benefit from the specific stripping activity.

Costs incurred for regular waste removal that do not give rise to future economic benefits are considered as mine production costs and are costs of sales.

**Assets Under Construction**

Assets under construction are capitalized as 'Construction in Progress' until the asset is capable of operating at levels intended by management. Costs incurred prior to this point, including depreciation of related plant and equipment, are capitalized.

**Borrowing costs**

Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred except where they relate to the financing of qualifying assets that require a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use. Qualifying assets include the cost of developing mining properties and constructing new facilities. Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets are capitalized up to the date when the asset is ready for its intended use.

Borrowing costs eligible for capitalization are determined by applying a capitalization rate, which is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the Company that are outstanding during the period, to the expenditures on the asset. Capitalized borrowing costs are amortized on the same basis as the related qualifying asset.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 15

------

**Leases**

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At commencement or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease and non-lease component on the basis of their relative standalone prices.

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for certain remeasurement of the lease liability as described below. The right-of use asset is depreciated using the straight-line method or the UOP method, as appropriate to the asset class, over the lesser of the lease term and the useful life of the asset.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of future lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The Company determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of leased asset.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• fixed payments, including in-substance payments, less any lease incentives receivable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the exercise price under a purchase option that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewal period if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the Company is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

**Impairment of non-financial assets**

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset.

If there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the recoverable amount is estimated for the individual asset. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs is determined.

The recoverable amount of an asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss of assets carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation or amortization is recognized immediately in proﬁt or loss.

The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for assets other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amounts of those assets are estimated. The increased carrying amount of an asset other than goodwill attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss of assets carried at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization is recognized immediately in proﬁt or loss.

**Provisions**

Provisions are recognized when the company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 16

------

***Provisions for reclamation and closure costs***

The Company records the present value of the estimated cost of legal obligations to rehabilitate locations where activities have occurred which have led to a future obligation. The nature of rehabilitation activities includes dismantling and removing structures, rehabilitating mines, dismantling operating facilities, closure of plant and waste sites and restoration, reclamation and revegetation of affected areas.

Typically, the obligation arises when the asset is installed, or the ground/environment is disturbed at the mining location. When the liability is initially recorded, the present value of the estimated cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related mining assets. Over time, the discounted liability is increased for the change in the present value. The inflation and discount rate used is determined based on current market assessments, and takes into consideration whether the liability is influenced by costs denominated in US dollars. Additional disturbances or changes in rehabilitation costs will be recognized as additions or changes to the corresponding asset and rehabilitation liability when incurred. The Company has estimated its costs based on feasibility and engineering studies using restoration standards and techniques.

The unwinding of the effect of discounting the provision is recorded as a finance cost in earnings or loss.

The carrying amount capitalized as a part of mining assets is depreciated/amortized over the life of the related asset.

**Revenue recognition** 

Metal sales includes sales of refined gold and silver which are generally delivered to customers in the period in which they are produced, with their sales price based on prevailing spot market metal prices or, for the offtake agreement the Company has for 47% of Bonikro sales, based on quotational period prices, being the lowest PM fix over a six day period. Revenue is recognized at the point in time where control is transferred to the customer, which generally occurs when the Company has a present right to payment; the customer has legal title to the gold or silver; and the customer has the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the refined metal. Revenue is measured at the transaction price agreed under the contracts, and payment is due immediately upon transfer of the gold to the customer.

The Company enters into metal streaming arrangements for the purposes of funding its mining operations and intends to settle its obligations by delivering gold produced in its own operations, with no right to substitution or net settlement. The upfront payment is considered to represent variable consideration, on the basis that the portion of the upfront amount to be allocated to each future ounce will depend on the number of ounces estimated to remain in the mine. In addition, the transaction price is considered to contain a significant financing component, given the long term nature of the upfront payment and the period of time between the receipt of the upfront cash, and the satisfaction of the future performance obligations.

The interest component of the long-term arrangement is recognized in financial charges over the duration of the agreement, which relies on management assumptions related to the remaining production and the life of each mine, as well as the expected future prices for gold. Given this, when the underlying production profile of the mine changes and the reserves and resources are updated (typically in the fourth quarter of each year), the variable portion of the transaction price allocated to each ounce will need to be updated in accordance with the requirements in IFRS 15 relating to changes in variable transaction price. The change in transaction price per unit will therefore result in a retrospective adjustment to revenue in the period in which the change occurs, reflecting the updated number of ounces expected to be delivered under the streaming arrangement. There will also be a corresponding adjustment to the interest charge.

Any taxes directly related to revenues or other directly related expenditures such as royalty payments are accrued as expenses when the related revenues are recognized.

**Share-based payments**

The Company awards stock options ("options"), restricted share units ("RSU"), deferred share units ("DSU") and performance share units ("PSU") to eligible employees, directors and consultants, in accordance with the long-term incentive programs approved by the Board.

*Options*

Options are equity-settled share-based payment awards and are measured at fair value at the date on which they were granted. The fair value of options is estimated at the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Their cost is recognized based on the number of units expected to vest as an expense over the vesting period, which ends on the date the recipient becomes fully entitled to the award. When options are exercised, the proceeds received by the Company together with the amount initially recognized in the share-based payments reserve, are credited to share capital.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 17

------

*Restricted Share Units*

The RSU Plan provides the Company the option to settle vested RSUs in cash or shares. RSUs that can be settled in cash or shares at the option of the Company are classified as equity-settled share-based payment transactions and recognized at their grant-date fair value in equity. The fair value of the RSUs issued equals the closing price of the Company's common shares at the measurement date described in the agreement, and their vesting terms are specific to each individual grant as determined by the Board. Fair value is expensed over the vesting period specific to the grant or at grant date for those that vest immediately, unless capitalized.

*Deferred Share Units*

Directors of the Company may elect to receive a portion or all of their director fees as DSUs. The DSUs are settled in cash once the director no longer holds any position with the Company and accounted for as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction. A liability is recognized on grant at the fair value of the units, which is based on the market value of the Company's common shares at the grant date. The fair value of the liability is re-measured each period based on the current market value of the underlying stock at period-end and any changes in the liability are recorded as share-based payment expense in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) each period, unless capitalized. The cash paid on exercise is recorded as a reduction of the liability.

*Performance Share Units*

A PSU entitles the recipient to receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the aggregate market value of the shares underlying the PSU, calculated as of the last day of the performance period specified in the agreement governing the particular grant, multiplied by an applicable multiplier, to be determined on the last date of the performance period according to metrics specified in the PSU agreement. PSUs are classified as cash-settled share-based payment transactions and vest over the performance period specified in the terms of each grant. The fair value of the PSUs is recognized as a liability over the vesting period using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model. The liability recognized is adjusted at each reporting date and any resulting adjustment to the accrued obligation is recognized as part of the share-based payment expense in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) for each period, unless capitalized. The cash paid on exercise is recorded as a reduction of the liability.

**Income Taxes**

Income tax expense or recovery comprises of current and deferred tax. Income tax expense or recovery is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) except to the extent it relates to items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income ("OCI"), in which case the related taxes are recognized in equity or OCI.

Current income tax is measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities based on the current year's taxable income, which may differ from earnings reported in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) due to items or expenses that are not currently taxable or deductible for income tax purposes. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred income tax is recognized on the balance sheet method in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liability for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used the taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Goodwill or the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that the payments can be controlled and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax is recognized on the movement in foreign exchange rates on non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to deferred income taxes are included in the deferred income tax expense or recovery in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured based on the expected manner of recovery of the carrying value of an asset or liability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets and they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realized simultaneously.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable earnings will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 18

------

assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable earnings will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Current and deferred taxes attributable to amounts recognized directly in equity are also recognized directly in equity. Provision for uncertain tax positions is recognized within current tax when management determines that it is probable that a payment will be made to the tax authority. When the uncertain tax position gives rise to a contingent tax liability for which no provision is recognized, the Company discloses tax-related contingent liabilities and contingent assets in accordance with IFRIC 23 and IAS 12.

**Financial instruments**

The Company classiﬁes its ﬁnancial instruments into the following categories:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial assets measured at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, including trade and other payables, and deferred consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, including the convertible debentures, contingent consideration and financial liabilities resulting from cash flow hedging positions.

***Financial assets held at amortized cost***

At initial recognition, trade and other receivables that do not have a signiﬁcant ﬁnancing component are recognized at their transaction price. Other ﬁnancial assets are initially recognized at fair value plus related transaction costs. They are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any gain or loss on derecognition or modiﬁcation of a ﬁnancial asset held at amortized cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

***Financial liabilities held at amortized cost***

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade and other payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Deferred consideration is treated as a financial instrument at amortized cost to the extent that it constitutes a financial obligation to make fixed cash payments at future dates. The value of deferred consideration payments are contingent only on the passage of time, with an agreed undiscounted value and fixed timing. It is initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost. The increase in the deferred consideration due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost in the statement of earnings or loss. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

***Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss***

The Company has elected to account for the convertible debentures contract including the identified embedded derivatives as a single financial liability, measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"). The change in fair value of the convertible debentures is recognized in profit or loss. The change in the fair value related to the Company's own credit risk is recorded through other comprehensive income (loss). The financial liability is remeasured at each reporting date using quoted prices in active markets for identical liabilities.

***Derivative Instruments and Hedge Accounting***

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to gold price fluctuations, particularly during times of elevated capital expenditures. The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivative hedging instruments to forecasted transactions. Hedge effectiveness is assessed based on the degree to which the cash flows from the derivative contracts are expected to offset the cash flows of the underlying transaction being hedged.

When a derivative is designated as a cash flow hedging instrument, the effective portion of changes in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. For hedged items other than the purchase of non-financial assets, the amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction,

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 19

------

identified at contract inception, affects profit or loss. When hedging a forecasted transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously deferred in equity are transferred from equity and included in the measurement of the initial carrying amount of the asset or liability.

Any ineffective portion of a hedge relationship is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss). For hedged items other than the purchase of non-financial assets, the cost of hedging amounts is reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) when the underlying hedged transaction affects profit or loss. When hedging a forecasted transaction that results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the cost of hedging is added to the carrying amount of the non-financial asset. When derivative contracts designated as cash flow hedges are terminated, expired, sold or no longer qualify for hedge accounting, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively. Any amounts recorded in other comprehensive income up until the time the contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting remain in other comprehensive income. Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) in the period in which the underlying hedged transaction is completed. Gains or losses arising subsequent to the derivative contracts not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognized in the period incurred in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

If the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, then the amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) immediately.

***Equity instruments***

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

Repurchase of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in earnings or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments.

***Derecognition***

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another, from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. If the modification is not substantial, the difference between: (1) the carrying amount of the liability before the modification; and (2) the present value of the cash flows after modification is recognized in earnings or loss as the modification gain or loss within other gains and losses.

**Comparative figures**

Certain figures in the consolidated financial statements have been reclassified from statements previously presented to conform to the presentation of these financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Derivative financial liability line item was disaggregated from Trade and Other payables because the liability, which was previously insignificant, had become significant as of December 31, 2025. The non-current Lease liabilities line item was disaggregated from non-current Other liabilities for consistency with the presentation of the current Lease liability.

**4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NEW STANDARDS INTERPRETATIONS AND AMENDMENTS**

**Adoption of new accounting standards**

*Amendment to IAS 21 – Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange*

On January 1, 2025, the Company adopted the Amendment to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange" ("IAS 21"), which specifies how to assess whether a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not exchangeable. The amendment specifies that a currency is exchangeable when it can be exchanged through market or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable rights and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and the specified purpose. For non-exchangeable currencies, an entity is required to estimate the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an orderly exchange transaction between market participants at the measurement date under prevailing economic conditions. The amendment did not have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**New accounting standards issued but not yet effective**

*IFRS 18 - Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements.*

On April 9, 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in the Financial Statements" ("IFRS 18") replacing IAS 1. IFRS 18 introduces categories and defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, disclosures on management-defined performance measures, and requirements to improve the aggregation and disaggregation of information in the financial statements. As a result of IFRS 18, amendments to IAS 7 were also issued to require that entities use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities and also to remove presentation alternatives for interest and dividends paid and received. Similarly, amendments to IAS 33 "Earnings per Share" were issued to permit disclosure of additional earnings per share figures using any other component of the statement of profit or loss, provided the numerator is a total or subtotal defined under IFRS 18. IFRS 18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, and is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the standard on the consolidated financial statements.

*Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures*

On May 30, 2024, the IASB issued narrow scope amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" ("IFRS 9") and IFRS 7. The amendments include the clarification of the date of initial recognition or derecognition of financial liabilities, including financial liabilities that are settled in cash using an electronic payment system. The amendments also introduce additional disclosure requirements to enhance transparency regarding investments in equity instruments designated at FVOCI and financial instruments with contingent features. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026, and are not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

*Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity - Amendments to IFRS 9, Financial Instruments and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures*

On December 18, 2024, the IASB issued targeted amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 to help companies better report the financial effects of nature-dependent electricity contracts. The amendments clarify the factors an entity would consider when assessing whether a renewable electricity contract qualifies for the own-use exemption under IFRS 9, as well as hedge accounting requirements for when a renewable electricity contract is designated as the hedging instrument in a cash flow hedge of forecasted sales or purchases of electricity. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. The amendments shall be applied retrospectively, however prior periods need not be restated to reflect the application of the amendments. The Company does not currently have such contracts in effect and therefore does not expect the adoption of the amendment to have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

**5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CRITICAL JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTIES**

The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Uncertainty about these

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 21

------

assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods.

The most significant judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty that management believes could have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are:

**Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Estimates**

The figures for mineral reserves and mineral resources are determined in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, issued by the Canadian Securities Administrators. This National Instrument lays out the standards of disclosure for mineral projects including rules relating to the determination of mineral reserves and mineral resources. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral reserves and mineral resources, including many factors beyond the Company's control. Such estimation is a subjective process, and the accuracy of any mineral reserve or mineral resource estimate is a function of the quantity and quality of available data and of the assumptions made and judgements used in engineering and geological interpretation. Short-term operating factors relating to the mineral reserves, such as the need for orderly development of the ore bodies or the processing of new or different ore grades, may cause the mining operation to be unprofitable in any particular accounting period. Lower market prices, increased production costs, reduced recovery rates and other factors may result in a revision of its mineral reserve estimates from time to time or may render the Company's mineral reserves uneconomic to exploit, which may materially and adversely affect the results of operations or financial condition. Mineral reserve data are not indicative of future results of operations. Evaluation of mineral resources is conducted from time to time and mineral resources may change depending on further geological interpretation, drilling results and metal prices. The Company regularly evaluates its mineral resources and it often determines the merits of increasing the reliability of its overall mineral resources.

Differences between management's assumptions, and actual events including economic assumptions such as metal prices and market conditions, could have a material effect in the future on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

Estimates of the quantities of proven and probable mineral reserves and mineral resources form the basis for the Company's LOM ("LOM") plans, which are used for a number of important business and accounting purposes, including:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Determination of the useful life of property, plant and equipment and measurement of the depreciation expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Capitalization and amortization of stripping costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Exploration and evaluation of mineral resources and determination of technical feasibility and commercial viability;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Impairment and reversal of impairment analysis of non-financial assets including evaluation of estimated future cash flows of cash-generating units ("CGU");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Forecasting the timing of royalty payments stemming from business combination agreements;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Estimates of the outlays and their timing for asset retirement obligations; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Variable revenue and recognition of deferred revenues related to streaming arrangements.

**Estimated Recoverable Ounces**

The carrying amounts of the Company's mining properties are depleted based on recoverable ounces contained in proven and probable mineral reserves. Changes to estimates of recoverable ounces and depletable costs including changes resulting from revisions to the Company's mine plans and changes in metal price forecasts can result in a change to future depletion rates.

**Streaming Arrangements**

The Company enters into streaming contracts with investors whereby the investor provides upfront funding for the mining operations in exchange for the right to purchase a portion of future metal production. The classification of such contracts as either financial instruments or revenue contracts is determined based on whether the entity expects to deliver non-financial assets held for its own-usage requirements, or through cash or other financial assets. This assessment is based on Management's judgement, considering both its reason for holding the contract and its established practices.

The Company enters into metal streaming arrangements for the purposes of funding its mining operations and intends to settle its obligations by delivering gold produced in its own operations, with no right to substitution or net settlement. Accordingly, these contracts meet the requirements to be recorded as revenue contracts in accordance with IFRS 15.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 22

------

**Recoverability of Other Receivables**

Other receivables include amounts owed from the governments of countries in which the Company operates in relation to recoverable value added taxes ("VAT"). Management applies judgement in determining the timing and recoverability of these balances, taking into consideration its efforts with the relevant governments under existing tax rules in the respective jurisdictions in which they arise. Management's assessment of recoverability considers the probable outcomes of claimed deductions and/or disputes, which are subject to change.

**Embedded Leases – Contractor Mining**

In applying the accounting policy for leases described in note 3 to its mining contracts, management have assessed whether the contracts for contractor mining services contain a lease for the equipment the contractors use to provide the mining services. Certain contractual agreements require management to apply significant judgement in evaluating whether the Company controls the right to direct the use of assets and therefore whether the contract contains a lease. Management considers all facts and circumstances in determining whether the Company or the supplier has the rights to direct how, and for what purpose, the underlying assets are used in certain mining contracts and other arrangements. Judgement is used to assess which decision-making rights mostly affect the benefits of use of the assets for each arrangement. In making their assessment, management have concluded that while the arrangements contain a lease, due to the variable nature of the payments, there was no lease amount to measure for the lease liability.

**Provisions for Reclamation and Closure Costs**

The Company's mining operations are subject to various environmental protection laws and regulations. The Company has recorded the asset retirement obligations of its mining sites on the basis of management's best estimates of future costs, based on information available on the reporting date. The provisions for reclamation and closure costs are determined using estimates of the scope, timing and amount of future costs the Company will incur to complete the reclamation and closure work required to comply with existing laws and regulations. Future changes to environmental laws and regulations could change the scope of reclamation and remediation work required to be performed by the Company.

Future costs are discounted using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability.

The key judgements and estimates when determining the provision are the timing in terms of when the rehabilitation will take place; the scope of rehabilitation work required, and cost of the rehabilitation upon the end of the life of the mine, and the discount rate used.

The present value of expected cash outflows were estimated using existing technology and discounted using real risk-free rates.

**Income Taxes and Recoverability of Deferred Tax Assets**

In assessing the probability of deferred tax assets recognized, management makes estimates related to expectations of future taxable income, applicable tax planning opportunities, expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences and the likelihood that tax positions taken will be sustained upon examination by applicable tax authorities. In making its assessments, management gives additional weight to positive and negative evidence that can be objectively verified. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecasted cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws in each jurisdiction.

The Company considers whether relevant tax planning opportunities are within the Company's control, are feasible, and are within management's ability to implement. Examination by applicable tax authorities is based on individual facts and circumstances of the relevant tax position examined in light of all available evidence. Where applicable tax laws and regulations are either unclear or subject to ongoing varying interpretations, it is reasonably possible that changes in these estimates can occur that materially affect the amounts of income tax assets recognized. Also, future changes in tax laws could limit the Company from realizing the tax benefits from the deferred tax assets. The Company reassesses unrecognized income tax assets at each reporting period.

**Income, Withholding and Other Taxes**

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations. The operations of mines within West Africa result in: complex relationships with government tax authorities, the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions and therefore could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded or not yet recorded.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 23

------

**Protocol Agreement with the Government of Mali**

Significant judgment was required to determine the accounting impact upon the signing of the Protocol agreement with the Government of Mali, presented in note 10 and 12, and the evaluation of uncertain tax positions.

**Deferred and contingent consideration**

The Company has recognized the present value of deferred and contingent consideration in respect of a number of its assets. The value of contingent consideration payments can depend on a number of factors, including the performance of the underlying asset, the timing of milestones being reached, and the discounting factors, which are based on the estimated cost of similar borrowing. These represent estimates and uncertainties which may prove to be materially different in future periods. The value of deferred consideration payments are contingent only on the passage of time, with an agreed undiscounted value.

**6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;OPERATING SEGMENTS**

The Company operates in Côte d'Ivoire (Bonikro mine and Agbaou mine), Mali (Sadiola and Korali-Sud mines), Ethiopia (Kurmuk project) and has its Corporate office in Canada.

The following table provides the Company's results by operating segment in the way information is provided to and used by the Company's chief operating decision maker, being the Company's senior executive group, to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segments and assess their performance. The Company considers each of its operational mines to be a separate segment, with the exception of the Bonikro and Hiré mining licenses and the Sadiola and Korali-Sud mining licenses, which each form a single segment due to the interrelationships in the operations of the mines and operate as the Bonikro and Sadiola mines, respectively. Corporate legal entities are aggregated and presented together as part of the "other" segment on the basis of them sharing similar economic characteristics at December 31, 2025.

***Protocol agreement with the Government of Mali***

During 2024, the Company signed a definitive protocol agreement with the Government of Mali, providing for renewal of the exploitation permit for the Sadiola mine, advancement of the nearby Korali-Sud property including the issuance of a definitive exploitation permit for large-scale mining and processing of mined ore at the Sadiola plan, and the fiscal and regulatory framework for the phased expansion of the operations.

On October 12, 2024 the Company made a payment in the amount of $40 billion CFA francs ($68.1 million). In addition, the Company also settled certain tax and other obligations of $4.9 million. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company made the additional and final payment of $25 billion CFA francs ($42.2 million) in the second quarter of 2025. This resulted in an aggregate impact of $115.2 million, with $37.3 million recorded in current income tax expense and the remaining balance in other losses, as well as the Company being subject to the 2023 mining code. Further, the Company impaired $16 billion CFA francs ($27.2 million) of VAT in the prior year, in relation to the Mali Settlement.

Reflected in the agreement is the Company undertaking to proceed with the phased expansion at Sadiola. The Company's ownership of Sadiola remains at 80%, with the Government of Mali owning a carried interest of 20%. The Government's ownership of Korali-Sud was increased to 35% on January 8, 2025, whereas the Company retained 65%, in association with the 2023 Mining Code (refer to note 14).

(i) The majority of the value for the prior year relates to the Mali settlement, which closed all open tax assessments related to prior years. The Mali settlement is further described in note 10.

The Company's current tax provision includes a $10.3 million expense (December 31, 2024 - $1.1 million expense) relating to Management's assessment of the amount of tax payable on uncertain tax items. Due to the uncertainty associated with such tax items, there is a possibility that, on conclusion of open tax matters at a future date, the final outcome may differ significantly.

A $3.4 million deferred income tax asset has been recognized in relation to Côte d'Ivoire (2024: $11.6 million in Mali; $10.1 million in Côte d'Ivoire). The deferred income tax asset consists mainly of deductible temporary differences. Projection of taxable profits from various sources were used to support the recognition of the assets. The future projected income could be affected by metal prices and quantities of proven and probable reserves. If these factors or other circumstances change, we would reassess our ability to record the deferred income tax asset relating to the temporary differences.

***New taxation developments -* OECD Pillar Two Model Rules**

In June 2024, the Government of Canada enacted the Global Minimum Tax Act ("GMTA") that was developed within the framework of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)'s Pillar Two Model rules. The GMTA includes the introduction of a 15% global minimum tax that applies to large multinational enterprise groups with global consolidated revenues over €750 million in two of the past four year. However, this legislation does not currently apply to the Company as 2025 was the first year that consolidated revenues exceeded €750 million.

**Unrecognized Deductible Temporary Differences and Unused Tax Losses**

The deferred tax assets have not been recognized as it is not considered probable that there will be future taxable earnings available to offset them against, as many of those expenditures are incurred by non-operating entities that have no earnings. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable earnings will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. At the reporting date, the Company has unrecognized deferred tax assets as follows:

The operating losses include $205.6 million of losses which are not recognized as deferred income tax assets.

**Unrecognized Taxable Temporary Differences Associated with Investment and Interest in Subsidiaries**

As at December 31, 2025, an aggregate temporary difference of $315.4 million (2024: $327.0 million) related to investments in subsidiaries was not recognized because the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Non-controlling interests represent the 10.11% ownership of the Bonikro mine and 15% of the Agbaou mine by the Government of Côte d'Ivoire and 20% of the Sadiola mine, owned by the Government of Mali. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's ownership of Korali-Sud was 100%; however, the Company's ownership was reduced to 65% on January 8, 2025 in association with the 2023 Mining Code. During the fourth quarter of 2024, a $37.2 million gross intercompany dividend was declared for distribution, from which $6.7 million was accrued as at December 31, 2024 and paid to the Government of Mali on January 30, 2025.

In connection with the definitive protocol agreement signed with the Government of Mali during the third quarter of 2024, the Company's Korali-Sud mine and related assets were transferred to a new entity, Korali S.A., incorporated on January 8, 2025, and 35% of the ownership interests in the new entity were issued to the Government of Mali. The issuance of shares is considered a share-based payment in exchange for the issuance of a definitive exploitation permit for large-scale mining and processing of ore mined at Korali at the Sadiola Plant, which is valued with reference to the fair value of $5.5 million of the shares of Korali S.A. granted. In arriving at the fair value of the shares issued, the Company valued working capital assets and liabilities at cost and valued the inventory and fixed assets using a discounted cash flow model incorporating significant assumptions that included such factors as mineable mineralization including resources, future production levels, operating and capital costs, gold prices ranging from $2,551 to $2,598 per ounce, and a discount rate of 13.9%.

The NCI was recognized at the proportional share of the identifiable net assets of Korali S.A. of negative $2.3 million. The difference of $7.8 million between the value of the exploitation permit received capitalized to the cost of the Korali mine and the value of the NCI was recognized in retained earnings. Due to the life of the mine, the entire $5.5 million of the cost capitalized for this permit was recognized as depletion expense during 2025.

On January 8, 2025, the Government of Mali requested that 280 kg of gold be transferred to the state, which was treated as an advance against future dividends payable under the terms of the 2023 Mining Code. Control over the gold was transferred on February 18, 2025 and had a carrying value of $9.4 million. The fair value of the distribution was $23.9 million, which is equal to the value of the dividend paid in-kind, resulting in a gain on distribution of dividend-in-kind of $14.5 million, recognized under Other gains and losses (note 10).

**Fair value of derivatives**

***Hedge derivatives***

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into zero-cost collars to hedge the price on gold production of 10,000 ounces per month, beginning April 2025 through to December 2026, for a total of 210,000 ounces, at an average put and call strike price of $2,200 per ounce and $3,125 per ounce, respectively. On May 6, 2025, the Company entered into additional zero-cost collars to hedge the price on gold production of 15,500 ounces per month beginning in June 2025 and ending in March 2026 at an average call and strike price of $3,048 and $4,000 per ounce. As of December 31, 2025, 166,500 ounces of gold collars remain unsettled. These hedges result in cash inflows or outflows only when the underlying LBMA gold price is below the collar floor, or above the collar ceiling, respectively, at the time of settlement. These contract are expected to settle over time by the end of 2026.

The aggregate fair value of the position as of December 31, 2025 was a $167.8 million liability (December 31, 2024 - $13.1 million liability), which is current. The fair value of zero-cost collar contracts was determined based on gold future forward prices.

The gold collar contracts are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, with the effective portion of changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, net of tax. Any ineffective portion of a hedge relationship is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss).

***Non-hedge derivatives***

On October 29, 2025, the Company purchased average rate gold call options with a strike price of $4,500 per ounce, for the period of November 2025 to December 2026, for a total of 217,500 ounces. The call options effectively mitigate the cash outflow on the hedge derivatives when gold exceeds $4,500. The total premium is $20.5 million, paid on a monthly deferred basis. The gold call options have not been designated as hedging instruments.

The aggregate fair value of the position as of December 31, 2025 was a $26.7 million current asset included in Derivative financial assets. The fair value of the gold call options was determined based on future forward prices.

**Fair value measurement**

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the consolidated financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 2 – Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 34

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs.

***Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis***

For financial assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed on a recurring basis, the Company assesses their classification at each reporting date and determines whether there have been any transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the period.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no transfers between categories.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximate their carrying values due to their short-term nature.

As at December 31, 2025, the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the fair value hierarchy were as follows:

***Stream Arrangements***

On October 10, 2019 the Company entered into a streaming agreement, currently held by Sandstorm Gold Ltd ("Sandstorm"). Under this agreement, the counterparty has the right to purchase certain quantities of gold at a fixed price of US$400/ounce. Sandstorm has the right to purchase 6% of the first 650,000 ounces of production at the Bonikro mine (39,000 ounces). Subsequently, they may purchase up to 3.5% of each lot between 650,000 ounces and 1,300,000 ounces of refined gold (a further 22,750 ounces and 61,750 ounces inclusive), up to 2% of each lot thereafter.

On August 7, 2024, the Company entered into a streaming transaction with Triple Flag International Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp. (collectively, "Triple Flag"). Under the terms of the agreement, the Company received a $53.0 million upfront cash payment on August 14, 2024 and will receive an ongoing payment equal to 10% of the spot gold price. Triple Flag will have the right to purchase 3% of the payable gold produced at each of the Agbaou and Bonikro mines, subject to a step-down to 2% after set delivery thresholds. Costs incurred in the transaction total $1.9 million.

On December 5, 2024, the Company entered into a streaming transaction with Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. ("WPMI"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. Under the terms of the streaming agreement, the Company will receive an aggregate $175.0 million upfront cash payment to support the funding of the development of the Kurmuk project. WPMI will have the right to purchase 6.7% of payable gold from the Kurmuk mine. The gold stream rate will step down to 4.8% of payable gold after the delivery of 220,000 ounces of gold. WPMI will make ongoing payments of 15% of the spot gold price for each ounce delivered under the

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 39

------

stream. The stream will cover the existing Kurmuk mining license and until 255,000 ounces of gold have been delivered to WPMI. On December 19, 2024, the Company met the conditions to withdraw the first of four planned payments of $43.8 million each. The three additional planned withdraws were completed on June 30, September 16, and December 15, 2025.

The stream arrangements have been accounted for as deferred revenue, as the upfront payments pertain to future production. As such, revenue is recognized as the services are performed for the counterparty, reducing the unearned deferred revenue balance. The streams contain an intrinsic financing component, which has been valued as part of the subsequent measurement of the deferred revenue stream. The Company estimated the financing component to be 24.99% for the Sandstorm stream, 9.98% for the Triple Flag stream, and 12.02% for the Wheaton stream.

As of December 31, 2025, accrued interest of $3.0 million, $4.3 million and $9.6 million has been calculated for the Sandstorm, Triple Flag and WPMI stream agreements, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized for the Sandstorm agreement is $8.6 million, out of which $2.3 million is on a cash basis (at $400 per ounce) while the remainder is non-cash (amortization of deferred revenue). For the Triple Flag agreement, the Company recognized revenue in the amount of $13.8 million, out of which $2.2 million is on a cash basis while the remainder is non-cash amortization of deferred revenue.

***Gold prepays and advance sales***

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a gold prepaid forward arrangement with select lenders, for a total advance of $75.0 million. Under the arrangement, the Company will deliver to the lenders an aggregate of 2,802 ounces of gold per month over a period of twelve months, starting in October 2026. The Company estimated the financing component for this arrangement to be 11.0%. As of December 31, 2025, accrued interest of $9.7 million has been calculated for this gold prepay forward arrangement.

On December 20, 2024 the Company entered into an advance sale agreement to deliver 9,613 ounces of gold at a price of $2,601 per ounce, for a total of $25.0 million. The advance sale was recognized as deferred revenue, and presented as current. Delivery of the gold was completed on January 21, 2025.

On September 25, 2025, the Company entered into an advance sale forward agreement with select lenders, for a total advance of $50.0 million. Under the arrangement, the Company will deliver an aggregate of 1,233 ounces of gold per month over a period of twelve months, starting in October 2026. The advance sale was recognized as deferred revenue and presented as non-current. The Company estimated the financing component for this arrangement to be 9.8%.

On December 24, 2025 the Company entered into an advance sale agreement to deliver 5,713 ounces of gold at a price of $4,376 per ounce, for a total of $25.0 million. The advance sale was recognized as deferred revenue, and presented as current. Delivery of the gold was completed on January 21, 2026.

The gold prepays and advance sales have been accounted for as deferred revenue, as the upfront payments pertain to future production. As such, revenue is recognized as the services are performed for the counterparty, reducing the unearned deferred revenue balance.

**Convertible Debentures** 

On August 30, 2023, the Company issued 107,279 convertible debentures at a price of $1,000 per unit. Each convertible debenture entitled the holder to receive one unsecured convertible debenture of AMC, which was subsequently exchanged for one unsecured convertible debenture of the Company on an economically equivalent basis on September 7, 2023. The convertible debentures bear

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 40

------

interest at 8.75% annually, payable semi-annually on September 30 and March 31 of each year, and a maturity date of 5 years. The Company incurred $5.3 million in costs related to this transaction.

The debentures are convertible at the holder's option into the Company's shares at any time during their five-year tenure at a price of $17.37 per share ("Conversion Price"). The Company has the right to force the conversion of all of the principal amount of the convertible debentures into common shares at the Conversion Price at any time after three years from the date of issuance, provided that the current market price is not less than 115% of the Conversion Price. The convertible debentures also contain embedded derivatives, including the right for conversion and the right to repay the principal amount in common shares upon maturity.

Using readily observable inputs from the market, the fair value of the convertible debentures as at December 31, 2025, was determined to be $154.3 million, net of $2.4 million interest payable. The net fair value loss of $57.9 million includes a $11.4 million gain from the change in credit risk conditions, recorded in OCI, and a $69.3 million loss from the change in option value and market conditions recorded in the consolidated statement of earnings (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Credit Facility**

On December 18, 2024, the Company executed a credit facility for $40.0 million, plus an additional $10.0 million accordion, for a total of $50 million and a three-year term. The Company expects to use the funds for financial flexibility and general business purposes. Interest rates are determined based on the leverage ratio, ranging between 350 basis points ("bps") and 450 bps Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") Loan or between 250 bps and 350 bps Canadian Prime Loan or Base Rate Loan, with a standby fee of between 87.5 bps and 112.5 bps.

The facility is subject to customary covenants and is secured by assets of the Company and its material subsidiaries. It contains certain financial covenants that include (a) a minimum interest coverage ratio; (b) a maximum net leverage ratio; and (c) a minimum liquidity level. As at December 31, 2025, the Company is in compliance with the covenants.

No funds have been withdrawn from the facility.

**24.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;PROVISIONS FOR RECLAMATION AND CLOSURE COSTS**

The Company's environmental liabilities relate to the restoration of soil and other related mining works cash outflows, which are due upon the closures of mines and production facilities. The full provision is classified as a non-current liability as the provision is expected to be utilized at the end of the life of the mine.

On November 3, 2023 the Company signed a lease agreement for its Toronto head office, which can be extended. The net present value of the lease obligation and the right-of-use asset was estimated at $2.7 million, using a 9.30% discount rate.

On May 16, 2024, the Company entered into a contract to lease twenty-one generators for the Bonikro and Agbaou mines over a three year term. The net present value of the lease obligation was estimated at $14.2 million, using an 8.07% discount rate. The generators were commissioned on June 11, 2024. The Company incurred additional costs of $14.9 million to bring the generators to use, resulting in the recognition of a right-of use asset of $28.4 million, with $14.9 million and $13.5 million allocated to Bonikro and Agbaou, respectively.

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company entered into contract mining agreements for Sadiola, Bonikro and Agbaou; while the contract mining agreement with Kurmuk was signed on March 1, 2025. As disclosed in Note 5, management has concluded that while the arrangements contain a lease, due to the variable nature of the payments, there was no lease amount to measure for the lease liability. The total variable cost incurred during 2025 related to those mining service agreements was $216.7 million ($17.1 million at December 31, 2024).

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company entered into lease arrangements resulting in right-of-use and lease obligation additions of $1.5 million with a weighted average discount rate of 15.5% (for the year ended December 31, 2024, right-of-use additions of $28.4 million, lease obligations $14.2 million, discount rate 8.07%).

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recognised $1.3 million in interest expense, included in Finance costs arising from lease liabilities (for the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.2 million).

The stock option, RSU, DSU, and PSU amounts have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 3:1 share consolidation that took place on May 20, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

**Stock Options**

On September 7, 2023, the Company adopted a plan providing for the grant of stock options to directors, senior officers or employees of the Company to purchase common shares. Stock options are granted at the weighted average trading price for the 5 consecutive trading days immediately prior to the relevant date. Vesting and term conditions are determined at the discretion of the Board.

The Board authorized a maximum of 5% of the total number of shares outstanding be issuable under the plan. The number of securities issuable to insiders, at any time, under all Share Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding securities and that the number of securities issued to insiders, within any one-year period, under all Share Compensation Arrangements, shall not exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding securities. In the event of a change of control, all vested stock options may be exercised and the holder shall receive the securities, property or cash that they would have been entitled to had they exercised the options immediately prior to the change of control, unless the directors of the Company determine a different basis for the exercise of options. In connection with the proposed acquisition of the Company (see Note 32), under the terms of the agreement, all outstanding options would vest, be exercised and a payment calculated based on the difference in the acquisition share price and strike price of the options would be paid to all option holders.

On September 8, 2023, the Company granted 199,998 stock options to certain directors, with a three-year, equal annual tranche vesting period and an expiration term of 7 years. Using a Black-Scholes valuation model, the options were valued at CAD$8.82 per option, using an exercise price of CAD$17.61 per share, volatility of 38%, 0% expected dividend yield, expected life of 7 years, and a 4% interest rate. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining contractual life of these options was 4.7 years and 133,332 of these options were exercisable (2024 - 66,666).

On December 16, 2025, 2,154,500 options were issued to directors and senior management personnel, with a three-year, equal annual tranche vesting period and an expiration term of 7 years. Using a Black-Scholes valuation model, the options were valued at CAD$18.94 per option, using an exercise price of CAD$31.11 per share, volatility of 59% determined based on the Company's share price history, 0% expected dividend yield, expected life of 7 years, and a 3% risk-free interest rate. As of December 31, 2025, the remaining contractual life of these options was 7 years and none of these options were exercisable.

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $1.1 million share-based expense for stock options (for the year ended December 31, 2024, $0.6 million).

**Restricted Shares Units ("RSUs")**

On September 7, 2023, the Company adopted a plan providing for the payment of bonuses in the form of the acquisition of Shares or, at the option of the Company, cash by participants for the purpose of advancing the interests of the Company through the motivation, attraction and retention of eligible employees and eligible contractors. A maximum of 17,550,697 shares are issuable under the Plan. Vesting and term conditions are determined at the discretion of the Board. In the event of a change of control, all RSUs outstanding shall

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 44

------

immediately vest and be payable in cash on the date immediately prior to the change of control, regardless of the restricted period. The payment shall be in an amount equal to the market value of the shares underlying the RSU calculated as at the date that is two business days prior to the change of control.

<sup>(1)</sup> *On September 9, 2024, the Board approved the immediate vesting of these RSUs and corresponding shares issuance. Out of the total charge for the period noted above, the Company capitalized the total accelerated expense of this RSU grant to the Kurmuk project, for $2.7 million.* 

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $30.5 million share-based compensation expense and has 3,317,468 RSUs outstanding (year ended December 31, 2024 - $5.7 million).

**Deferred Share Units ("DSUs")**

To align interests between eligible directors and the shareholders of the Company, a DSU plan was adopted on September 7, 2023, providing eligible directors the ability to elect to be paid a portion of annual director compensation in DSUs. Eligible officers can elect to be paid their long term incentive compensation in DSUs. In the event of a change of control, all DSUs outstanding become payable once the holder ceases to be a director or officer of the Company.

| December 16, 2025 | 90000 | $22.59 (CAD$31.11) |
| **Total** | **178003** |  |

---

For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded $3.7 million share-based compensation expense from the DSUs granted in the year (2024 - $0.3 million). As of December 31, 2025, $4.1 million of DSU liabilities are included in other payables (refer to note 20).

**Performance Share Units ("PSUs")**

On September 7, 2023, the Company adopted a plan to provide additional rewards to senior management for services performed and to promote a greater alignment of interest between senior management and shareholders of the Company. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, through a Compensation Committee, which determines specific in regards to the value of the PSUs, the vesting period and the performance indicator on which the issuance is based. Under the terms of the plan, in the event of a change of control, all

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 45

------

outstanding PSUs vest and become payable immediately on the date prior to the change of control, regardless of their stated performance periods.

On January 21, 2025, the Company issued 1,084,656 PSUs at a price of $7.11 (CAD$10.17), with a two-year vesting period ending on December 31, 2026, to eligible senior management, to be settled in cash in an amount based on the Company's common share price and a multiplier based on the relative value of the Company's common share price in relation to the S&P Global Gold index (the "index").

On December 16, 2025, the Company issued 2,342,500 PSUs at a price of $22.60 (CAD$31.11) to eligible senior management to be settled in cash in an amount based on the growth of the Company's common share price on maturity and a multiplier based on the growth of the Company's common share price in comparison with that of the share prices of the constituents of the S&P/TMX Global Gold Index. The PSUs vest on the earlier of December 14, 2028, a three year time frame, or, should the Company's shares trade on the TSX at a price 40% above the initial price for 4 months, maturity will be at the end of that four month period. Further, for approximately 75% of the units the maximum payable will be limited to a payment of 62.5% of the total payable amount otherwise, unless the share price increase is equal to or greater than 80% from the initial price. Based on management's judgement and statistical modelling, December 14, 2028 was determined to be the most probable maturity date as of the date of grant and is therefore used as the vesting date for accounting purposes.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company recognized $24.9 million expense from stock based compensation related to PSUs (2024 - $nil). As of December 31, 2025, $24.9 million of PSU liabilities are included in other payables (refer to note 20).

**Agbaou mine – Acquisition of Endeavour Resources Inc. on March 1, 2021**

The contingent consideration recorded on the acquisition of Agbaou relates to a royalty on future production from the Agbaou mine applicable to ore that is mined in excess of 320,611 ounces. This threshold was met in late 2022, and consequently the Company continues to value to royalty payable based on future production and using a discounted cash flow approach.

The primary input to the valuation of the contingent consideration are the consensus forward gold price, from $4,069 per ounce to $3,588 per ounce, and the expected future production of the mine.

**Sadiola mine – Acquisition of Société d'Exploitation des Mines d'Or de Sadiola S.A on December 30, 2020**

Contingent consideration recorded on the acquisition of Sadiola includes a first tranche of $24.9 million ($12.45 million each to AngloGold Ashanti ("AGA") and IAMGOLD Corporation ("IMG")) upon the production of the first 250,000 ounces from the Sadiola Sulphides Project ("SSP"); and a further tranche of $24.9 million ($12.45 million each to AGA and IMG) upon the production of a further 250,000 ounces from the SSP. The contingent consideration was valued using the discounted cash flow approach.

The primary input to the valuation of the contingent consideration is the expected timing of future production from of the mine.

**Korali-Sud project – Acquisition of Korali-Sud on November 9, 2023**

Deferred consideration recorded on the acquisition of Korali-Sud project includes a $1.0 million deferred consideration.

**Kurmuk project – Acquisition of APM Ethiopia Ltd. on September 6, 2023**

***Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") with Ethiopian Electric Power.***

On August 19, 2024, the Company announced that its subsidiary, Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC, which owns the Kurmuk Project, entered into a definitive PPA with Ethiopian Electric Power to secure a reliable, competitive, and sustainable energy supply for Kurmuk throughout the life of the mine. Key Terms of the Agreement include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Term: The PPA will be in effect for a period of twenty years and may be extended by mutual agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Energy Charge: The agreement secures a flat energy charge of US$0.04 per kWh, applicable from the supply commencement date and remaining fixed for the entire term, providing cost certainty for the project.

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 48

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transmission Line Construction: Electrical grid power will be supplied to the operation via a 75-kilometre, 132 kV power line, which is expected to be completed and energized ahead of first production in mid-2026, with substations at Asosa—a major city near the project—and at the project site. The government will provide the grid connection, which will increase their equity stake in Kurmuk Gold Mine PLC from 5% to 7%, as defined in the Kurmuk Development Agreement. On-site power will be distributed via a network of 11 kV power lines.

The Company assessed the terms and conditions of the agreement and concluded that it represents a physical PPA, which does not contain a derivative, nor terms that prevent the application of the own use exemption, and therefore represents an executory contract, with no accounting to record at December 31, 2025.

**31.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES**

**Capital risk management:**

For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital, and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. It also includes shareholder debt, including a streaming facility which contains a financing component, and a senior secured facility disclosed in notes 22 and 23 respectively. The primary objective of the Company's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a strong credit rating and healthy capital ratios in order to support its business and maximise the shareholder's value.

All such financing requires formal board approval. The Directors review the Company's monthly and quarterly reports through which they assess the effectiveness of the processes put in place and the appropriateness of the objectives and corporate governance policies it sets.

In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, amongst other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to its interest-bearing revolving credit facility that forms part of its capital structure requirements. There have been no breaches in financial covenants in the current period.

The Company manages its capital structure and adjusts it, in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Company includes in its net debt, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, trade and other payables, less cash and short-term deposits.

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or adjust its dividend policy. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes during the year ended December 31, 2025.

**Commodity Price Risk**

The Company's profitability and long-term viability depend, in large part, upon the market price of metals that may be produced from the Company's properties, primarily gold. Market price fluctuations of these commodities could adversely affect profitability of operations and lead to impairments of mineral properties. Metal prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond the Company's control including but not limited to supply and demand, consumption patterns, macroeconomic factors (interest, exchange and inflation), banking and political conditions, and mining specific factors. The Company periodically uses forward contracts to economically hedge against the risk of declining metal prices for a portion of its forecast sales. As of December 31, 2025 the Company held zero-cost hedges and non-hedge gold call options described in note 15 to manage its commodity price risk.

**Liquidity risk**

Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. Further, the Company has in place a rigorous planning, budgeting and forecasting process to help determine the funds required to support the Company's requirements on an ongoing basis. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, Company treasury maintains flexibility in funding by maintaining availability under committed credit lines, including the undrawn credit facility discussed in note 23.

The Company's risk to liquidity is a result of obligations associated with financial liabilities of the Company and the availability of funds to meet those obligations. The Company manages liquidity risk through an ongoing review of future commitments and credit facilities.

The Company's financial liabilities, except for its Convertible Debentures at FVTPL, are carried at amortized cost and approximate their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The table below analyses the Company's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the statement of financial position to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash ﬂows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

---

The Company's derivative financial assets and derivative financial liabilities all mature within one year following December 31, 2025. See Note 15.

**Credit risk**

Credit risk is the risk that a third party might fail to discharge its obligations under the terms of a financial instrument. The Company is exposed to various counterparty risks including, but not limited to: (i) financial institutions that hold the Company's cash and cash equivalents; (ii) companies that have may have payables to the Company, including bullion customers; (iii) providers of risk management services (including hedging arrangements); (iv) shipping service providers that move the Company's material; (v) the Company's insurance providers; (vi) refineries contracted that hold and process the Company's precious metals; (vii) the Company's lenders and (viii) companies that have sold derivative financial instruments to the Company. The Company seeks to limit counterparty risk by entering into business arrangements with high credit-quality counterparties, limiting the amount of exposure to each counterparty and monitoring the financial condition of counterparties. For cash and cash equivalents and trade and other receivables, credit risk is represented by the carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and cash equivalents are deposited with highly rated corporations, with credit ratings of A and A+, and the credit risk associated with these deposits is low.

The Company sells its gold to large international organizations with strong credit ratings, and the historical level of customer defaults is minimal. As at December 31, 2025, there were no outstanding amounts in respect of trade receivables (2024: $nil) and, as a result, the credit risk associated with gold trade receivables at December 31, 2025 is considered to be negligible. The Company does not rely on ratings issued by credit rating agencies in evaluating counterparties' related credit risk.

The Company purchased gold call options from a large international financial institution with a strong credit rating. As a result the credit risk associated with derivative financial assets is considered to be negligible as of December 31, 2025.

The Company does not have any assets pledged as collateral. The Company's maximum exposure to credit risk is as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | **As at December 31, 2025** | As at December 31, 2024 |
| Cash and bank balances | $**479777** | $224994 |
| Restricted cash | **17109** | 6494 |
| Derivative financial assets | **26703** |  |
| Trade receivables, prepayments, and other receivables | **117093** | 59433 |
|  | $**640682** | $290921 |

![Allied-Gold-Logo-on-white.jpg](aaue-20251231_g1.jpg) \| 50

------

**Interest rate risk**

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair values and future cash flows of the Company's financial instruments will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company monitors its exposure to interest rates and its exposures with a mix of fixed-and floating-rate debt. As at December 31, 2025, all of the Company's long-term debt was at fixed rates. There was no significant change in the Company's exposure to interest rate risk during the year ended December 31, 2025.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the reporting date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of liability outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year. A 50-basis point increase or decrease is used for reporting interest rate risk internally to key management and represents management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in interest rates.

Changes in interest rates impact borrowings by changing their fair value (fixed rate debt) or future cash flows (variable rate debt). Management does not have a formal policy of determining how much of the Company's exposure should be to fixed or variable rates. When raising new financing, management uses its judgment to decide whether fixed or variable rates would be more favourable over the expected period until maturity.

If interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/(lower) and all other variables were held constant, the Company's loss before tax for the year would increase / decrease by approximately $0.2 million (2024: $0.2 million).

**Foreign currency risk**

The Company's sales are denominated in US Dollars. The Company is primarily exposed to currency fluctuations relative to the US Dollar as a certain portion of the Company's operating costs and capital expenditures are denominated in foreign currencies; predominantly the West African Franc, the Euro, the South African Rand, the Ethiopian Birr and the Canadian Dollar. Monetary assets (primarily from the Company's receivables, cash and payable balances denominated in foreign currencies) denominated in foreign currencies are also exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. These potential currency fluctuations could have a significant impact on production costs and affect the Company's earnings and financial condition.

**Foreign currency risk management**

The Entity undertakes certain transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The carrying amounts of the Company's monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies other than in $ are as follows:

The following table details the Entity's sensitivity to a 10% increase or decrease in the functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity rate used for reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. A positive or negative number below indicates an increase or decrease in earnings or loss where the functional currency weakens 10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% strengthening of the functional currency against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the earnings or loss, and the balances below would be negative.
