Record Silver Intercepts at Vortex
Hole H26D-6090 returned 30.5m at 780.53 g/t silver, including 11.2m at 1,664.80 g/t silver and 5.5m at 2,249.39 g/t silver. Hole H26D-6166 returned 20.0m at 460.82 g/t silver, including 1.6m at 2,650.00 g/t silver.

New High-Grade Gold Discovery at Vortex
Hole H26D-6172 intersected 6.1m at 21.12 g/t gold, including 1.5m at 43.00 g/t gold — the first significant high-grade gold interval in the Vortex system, indicating a potential separate gold system requiring follow-up drilling.

Brimstone Extends North with Exceptional Grades
Hole H26D-6167A returned 5.5m at 1,345.27 g/t silver, including 1.8m at 4,074.00 g/t silver, opening additional target opportunities north of the known Brimstone high-grade system.

Exploration Strategy Validated
CEO Diane Garrett stated these are among the strongest results from the Drill Program, confirming the high-grade silver system and supporting the potential for a high-grade underground mine with mineralization open in all directions and at depth.
Analysis · HYMC · Energy & Transportation
The latest drill results from Hycroft's 2025-2026 exploration program are the strongest reported to date. At Vortex, hole H26D-6090 returned 30.5 meters at 780.53 g/t silver, and a new high-grade gold interval of 6.1 meters at 21.12 g/t gold was intersected in hole H26D-6172 — the first significant gold intercept in this area, suggesting a potentially separate high-grade gold system. Brimstone extended north with 5.5 meters at 1,345.27 g/t silver, including an exceptional 1.8 meters at 4,074.00 g/t silver. These results materially expand the known high-grade mineralization and support the company's thesis for a high-grade underground mine, a key value driver for the Hycroft Mine.
