The 2025 FS incorporates the outcomes of the Mission optimization work reported by the Firm in a information launch entitled “Era Completes Optimization Work for the Marathon Mission with Improved Mine Plan and Diminished Capex” issued on November 20, 2024, which centered on two key points: 1) optimization of the mine plan to maximise metallic manufacturing and defer waste stripping within the early years of operations with a purpose to enhance early money flows and scale back the payback interval (“Mine Plan Optimization”); and a pair of) optimization of the method plant design and format, together with sizing of key tools, plant footprint and foundations, with a purpose to scale back the preliminary Mission capital prices (“Preliminary Capital Optimization”, and along with the Mine Plan Optimization, the “Optimization Work”).
The Optimization Work has now been additional up to date to include modifications to Mineral Sources, Mineral Reserves, the Life-of-Mine (LOM) mining plan and working and capital prices, utilizing the identical metallic value assumptions which shaped the idea of the November 20, 2024 information launch.
The 2025 FS was ready by Ausenco Engineering Canada ULC (“Ausenco”), together with contributions from Moose Mountain Technical Providers (“MMTS”), Knight Piésold Ltd. (“KP”), P&E Mining Consultants Inc. (“P&E”), and JDS Vitality and Mining, Inc (“JDS”).
The 2025 FS outlines the operation of an open pit mine and course of plant over a mine lifetime of 12.5 years and replaces the Firm’s earlier feasibility research entitled “Amended Feasibility Examine Replace, Marathon Palladium & Copper Mission, Ontario, Canada” dated Could 31, 2024.
Jamie Levy, President and CEO of the Firm, commented, “The up to date Feasibility Examine for the Marathon Copper-Palladium Mission clearly underscores its potential to be Ontario’s subsequent producing important mineral mine. The mission not solely advantages from a powerful commodity mixture of important metals but additionally stands as a strategic Canadian response to rising threats within the world mineral provide chain.
The Marathon Mission’s vital publicity to copper and palladium positions it as a uniquely engaging alternative within the important mineral area in North America. With copper going through long-term provide constraints and protracted provide dangers from the first palladium producers in Russia and South Africa, the Marathon Mission is effectively positioned to help North American and European smelters. The Mission’s superior growth and allowing can also be a key differentiator, which positions us to carry metallic to market sooner than some other North American copper mission not but in building.”
Kerry Knoll, Govt Chairman of the Firm commented, “Anticipating the ultimate allow approvals from the provincial authorities within the close to future, the Marathon Mission is on monitor to develop into the subsequent main shovel-ready important metallic mission in Ontario and Canada. The potential backing from provincial and nationwide important metallic funds, mixed with help from banks, non-public fairness, institutional traders, and retail shareholders, offers a powerful basis for securing full financing within the close to time period.”
Financial Evaluation
The up to date Feasibility Examine underscores the continued financial robustness of the Marathon Mission with an after-tax NPV6% of $1.07 billion, IRR of 28% and 1.9 12 months payback interval based mostly on the 3-yr trailing common metallic costs as of November 1, 2024.
The next desk presents the important thing outputs of the financial evaluation for the 2025 FS utilizing 3-year trailing common metallic costs, along with the identical evaluation carried out utilizing spot and consensus metallic costs, and international alternate fee assumptions:

Notes:a. Mineral Sources had been estimated utilizing the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Requirements on Mineral Sources and Reserves, Definitions (2014) and Greatest Practices Pointers (2019) ready by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council.b. Mineral Sources that aren’t Mineral Reserves shouldn’t have demonstrated financial viability. The estimate of Mineral Sources could also be materially affected by environmental, allowing, authorized, advertising and marketing, or different related points. Mineral Sources are reported inclusive of Mineral Reserves.c. The Inferred Mineral Useful resource on this estimate has a decrease stage of confidence than that utilized to an Indicated Mineral Useful resource and should not be transformed to a Mineral Reserve. It’s moderately anticipated that almost all of the Inferred Mineral Useful resource may very well be upgraded to an Indicated Mineral Useful resource with continued exploration.d. The Marathon Mineral Useful resource is reported inside a constrained pit shell at a NSR cut-off worth of $13.6/t.e. Marathon NSR ($/t) = (Cu % x 111.49) + (Ag g/t x 0.73) + (Au g/t x 80.18) + (Pd g/t x 56.02) +(Pt g/t x 36.49) – 2.66f. The Marathon Mineral Useful resource Estimate was based mostly on metallic costs of US$1,550/ozPd, US$4.250/lb Cu, US$1,100/ozPt, US$2,300/ozAu and US$27/ozAg, and a C$:US$ alternate fee of C$1.35 to US$1.00.g. The Sally and Geordie mineral assets are reported inside a constraining pit shell at a NSR cut-off worth of $13/t.h. Sally and Geordie NSR ($/t) = (Ag g/t x 0.48) + (Au g/t x 42.14) + (Cu % x 73.27) + (Pd g/t x 50.50) + (Pt g/t x 25.07) – 2.62i. The Sally and Geordie Mineral Useful resource Estimate was based mostly on metallic costs of US$1,600/ozPd, US$3.00/lb Cu, US$900/ozPt, US$1,500/ozAu and US$18/ozAg, and a C$:US$ alternate fee of 1.30 C$ to 1.00 US$.j. Contained metallic totals might differ resulting from rounding.

a. The mineral reserves estimate had been ready by Marc Schulte, P.Eng., who can also be an unbiased Certified Particular person, reported utilizing the 2014 CIM Definition Requirements, and have an efficient date of November 1, 2024.b. Mineral reserves are a subset of the Measured and Indicated Mineral Sources Estimate that has an efficient date of November 1, 2024. Inferred class Mineral Sources are handled as waste.c. Mineral Reserves are based mostly on the 2024 Marathon Mission Feasibility Examine Replace mine plan.d. Mineral Reserves are mined tonnes and grade; the reference level is the method plant feed on the major crusher. Course of Plant feed tonnes and grade embrace consideration of mining operational dilution and restoration.e. Mineral Reserves are reported at a cutoff grade of $16/t NSR. The NSR cut-off assumes Pd Value of US$1,525/oz, Cu value of US$4.00/lb, Pt Value of US$950/oz, Au value of US$2,000/oz, Ag value of US$24/oz, at an alternate fee of 0.74 US greenback per 1.00 Canadian greenback; payable percentages of 95% for Pd, 96.5% for Cu, 93% for Pt, 93.5% for Au, 93.5% for Ag; refining expenses of US$24.5/ozfor Pd, US$0.079/lb for Cu, US$24.5/ozfor Pt, US$0.50/ozfor Ag; minimal deductions of two.875 g/t for Pd, 1.1% for Cu, 2.875 g/t for Pt, 1.0 g/t for Au, 30.0 g/t for Ag; therapy expenses of US$79/t and transport and off-site prices of US$125/t concentrates, focus ratio of 90.9%; metallurgical recoveries are based mostly on variable grade dependent metallurgical restoration curves.f. The NSR reduce off-value covers course of prices of $8.27/t, basic and administrative (G&A) prices of $2.63/t, sustaining and closure prices of $3.13/t, ore mining differential prices of $0.57/t, and stockpile rehandle prices of $1.40/t.g. Numbers have been rounded, which can lead to summation variations. Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) Definition Requirements for Mineral Sources and Mineral Reserves (CIM (2014) definitions) had been used for Mineral Reserve classification.

Non-IFRS Monetary Measures and Different Measures
The Firm has included sure monetary measures on this information launch, together with preliminary capital price, working prices, AISC, and Pre-Tax and After-Tax Money Flows, which aren’t measures acknowledged below IFRS and shouldn’t have a standardized which means. These non-IFRS monetary measures are included on this doc as a result of these statistics are measures that administration will use to watch future monetary efficiency, and to plan and assess the general effectiveness and effectivity of future mining operations. The Firm doesn’t have historic non-IFRS monetary measures nor historic comparable measures below IFRS, and due to this fact the foregoing potential non-IFRS monetary measures will not be reconciled to the closest comparable measures below IFRS. Non-IFRS measures shouldn’t have any standardized which means prescribed below IFRS, and due to this fact, they will not be akin to related measures employed by different firms. The info introduced is meant to offer extra data and shouldn’t be thought of in isolation or as an alternative to measures ready in accordance with IFRS.
Non-IFRS efficiency measures used herein are outlined as follows:
Preliminary Capital consists of all prices incurred from the efficient date of the 2025 FS (excluding historic sunk prices) till the purpose the place business manufacturing is achieved, together with bills associated to engineering, tools buy and set up, course of plant and mine infrastructure building, and some other prices related to placing the Mission into operations.Working Prices consists of mining, processing, basic and administrative and different, focus transportation prices, therapy and refining expenses, and royalties. Prices associated to the Wheaton PMPA are excluded.AISC consists of Working Prices, closure and reclamation prices, and sustaining capital.Pre-tax Money Stream consists of complete income much less Working Prices, working capital changes, tools financing, preliminary capital, sustaining capital, closure prices. Prices associated to the Wheaton PMPA are included.After-tax Money Stream consists of Pre-tax Money Stream much less revenue taxes payable.
The Marathon Mission is a polymetallic deposit. For functions of estimating the Firm’s anticipated prices and future monetary efficiency, the Firm discloses sure monetary measures herein based mostly on estimates of future palladium equal (“PdEq”) and copper equal (“CuEq”) metallic manufacturing. The Firm’s estimated PdEq and CuEq are calculated utilizing the payable metals estimates derived from the Firm’s LOM, as follows:
Palladium Equal ounces makes use of the system PdEq oz = Pd oz + (Cu lb x 4.00 US$/lb + Pt ozx US$950/oz + Au ozx US$2000/oz + Ag ozx US$24.00/oz) / US$1525 Pd/ozCopper Equal kilos makes use of the system CuEq lbs = Cu lbs + (Pd ozx US$1,525/oz + Pt ozx US$950/oz + Au ozx US$2000/oz + Ag ozx US$24.00/oz) / US$4.00 Cu/lb.
Data Regarding Estimates of Mineral Reserves and Sources
The Mineral Reserve and Mineral Useful resource Estimates on this press launch have been disclosed in accordance with NI 43-101, which differs from the necessities of the U.S. Securities and Alternate Fee (the “SEC”), and data with respect to mineralization and Mineral Reserves and Mineral Sources contained herein will not be akin to related data disclosed by U.S. firms.
The SEC has adopted amendments to its disclosure guidelines to modernize the mineral property disclosure necessities below the U.S. Securities Alternate Act of 1934, as amended (the “Alternate Act”). These amendments turned efficient February 25, 2019 (the “SEC Modernization Guidelines”) with compliance required for the primary fiscal 12 months starting on or after January 1, 2021. Underneath the SEC Modernization Guidelines, the historic property disclosure necessities for mining registrants included in Trade Information 7 below the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, will probably be rescinded and changed with disclosure necessities in subpart 1300 of SEC Regulation S-Okay. On account of the adoption of the SEC Modernization Guidelines, the SEC now acknowledges estimates of “Measured Mineral Sources”, “Indicated Mineral Sources” and “Inferred Mineral Sources.” As well as, the SEC has amended its definitions of “Confirmed Mineral Reserves” and “Possible Mineral Reserves” to be “considerably related” to the corresponding requirements below NI 43-101. Whereas the SEC will now acknowledge “Measured Mineral Sources”, “Indicated Mineral Sources” and “Inferred Mineral Sources”, U.S. traders shouldn’t assume that any half or all the mineralization in these classes will ever be transformed into a better class of Mineral Sources or into Mineral Reserves. Mineralization described utilizing these phrases has a higher quantity of uncertainty as to its existence and feasibility than mineralization that has been characterised as reserves. Accordingly, U.S. traders are cautioned to not assume that any Measured Mineral Sources, Indicated Mineral Sources, or Inferred Mineral Sources that the Firm experiences are or will probably be economically or legally mineable. Additional, “Inferred Mineral Sources” have a higher quantity of uncertainty as to their existence and as as to if they are often mined legally or economically. Subsequently, U.S. traders are additionally cautioned to not assume that every one or any a part of the “Inferred Mineral Sources” exist. There isn’t any assurance that any Mineral Reserves or Mineral Sources that the Firm might report as “Confirmed Mineral Reserves”, “Possible Mineral Reserves”, “Measured Mineral Sources”, “Indicated Mineral Sources” and “Inferred Mineral Sources” below NI 43-101 can be the identical had the Firm ready the Reserve or Useful resource Estimates below the requirements adopted below the SEC Modernization Guidelines.
Mineral Sources usually are not Mineral Reserves, and shouldn’t have demonstrated financial viability, however do have affordable prospects for financial extraction. Measured and Indicated Mineral Sources are sufficiently effectively outlined to permit geological and grade continuity to be moderately assumed and allow the appliance of technical and financial parameters in assessing the financial viability of the Mineral Useful resource. Inferred Mineral Sources are estimated on restricted data not enough to confirm geological and grade continuity or to permit technical and financial parameters to be utilized. Inferred Mineral Sources are too speculative geologically to have financial issues utilized to them to allow them to be categorized as Mineral Reserves. There isn’t any certainty that Mineral Sources of any classification will be upgraded to Mineral Reserves by way of continued exploration.
The Firm’s Mineral Reserve and Mineral Useful resource figures are estimates and the Firm can present no assurances that the indicated ranges of mineral will probably be produced or that the Firm will obtain the worth assumed in figuring out its Mineral Reserves. Such estimates are expressions of judgment based mostly on information, mining expertise, evaluation of drilling outcomes and business practices. Legitimate estimates made at a given time might considerably change when new data turns into accessible. Whereas the Firm believes that these Mineral Reserve and Mineral Useful resource Estimates are effectively established and the most effective estimates of the Firm’s administration, by their nature Mineral Reserve and Mineral Useful resource Estimates are imprecise and rely, to a sure extent, upon evaluation of drilling outcomes and statistical inferences which can in the end show unreliable. If the Firm’s Mineral Reserve or Mineral Reserve Estimates are inaccurate or are diminished sooner or later, this might have an hostile affect on the Firm’s future money flows, earnings, outcomes or operations and monetary situation.
The Firm estimates the long run mine lifetime of the Marathon Mission. The Firm can provide no assurance that its mine life estimate will probably be achieved. Failure to attain this estimate may have an hostile affect on the Firm’s future money flows, earnings, outcomes of operations and monetary situation.
