  • Total material mined decreased to 4,415,485 tonnes, down 14% from 5,105,131 tonnes in March quarter. This included 2,164,144 tonnes of ore mined, up 1% quarter-on-quarter, with the balance comprising waste material. The reduction reflects lower waste movement and a decrease in stripping ratio from 1.4 to 1.0, while ore mining remained stable during the quarter.
  • Ore processed: A total of 2,218,503 tonnes of ore were processed during the quarter, up 38% from 1,607,851 tonnes in the March 2026 quarter. The processing plant continued to operate well, with ongoing optimisation activities supporting improved plant performance and enabling throughput rates well above nameplate.
  • Average head grade was 0.86g/t, down 2% from 0.87g/t in the March 2026 quarter. The lower head grade reflects the processing of a broader ore blend sourced from different areas of the orebody in line with the planned mining sequence.
  • Gold recovery increased to 90.5%, compared with 90.1% in the March 2026 quarter. The improvement reflects strong metallurgical performance, supported by stable plant operations and optimisation of processing circuits, which contributed to higher overall recovery during the quarter.
  • AISC: increased to US$1,254/oz from US$1,043/oz in the March 2026 quarter. The March quarter benefited from ore stockpiled on the ROM pad prior to the commencement of mining, resulting in a lower allocation of mining costs to ounces produced. As mining activities normalised during the June quarter, a full quarter of mining costs was reflected in production. Kiniéro continued to deliver strong cost performance while operating at approximately 9.0Mtpa, well above nameplate capacity.

  • Gold recovery: for the June 2026 quarter improved to 86.5%, from 86.4% in the March 2026 quarter. The result reflects stable plant operations and consistent metallurgical performance during the period.
  • AISC increased to US$1,974/oz from US$1,699/oz in the March 2026 quarter, primarily due to higher sustaining capital expenditure and increased stripping activity, with the stripping ratio rising to 4.4 as waste movement was prioritised to support future mining areas.

Bankan Gold Project, Guinea

Bankan is one of West Africa's largest undeveloped gold projects and is expected to provide the foundation for the Company's next phase of production growth alongside Kiniéro.

Development and optimisation activities advanced significantly during the quarter, with engineering, procurement and contracting workstreams progressing in preparation for commencement of project execution following the grant of the Exploitation Permit and a subsequent Final Investment Decision.

Front-end engineering design (“FEED”) for the process plant was completed during the quarter, with the process design criteria and process flowsheets finalised and the process plant layout substantially completed. The scope for detailed design has been finalised and detailed design activities commenced in July 2026. Electrical and instrumentation engineering for the process plant and power station was also awarded to ECG Engineering.

Procurement activities progressed significantly, with 23 long-lead mechanical equipment packages issued for tender and eight packages progressing through technical and commercial evaluation, with purchase orders issued to enable vendor data to support detailed design. Major equipment procurement advanced with the award of the 40MW power station contract to Hyundai Heavy Industries and the SAG and ball mill supply contract to NCP International. The tailings storage facility (“TSF”) design contract was also awarded to Knight Piésold, with design activities commencing during the quarter.

Engineering and layout development continued across the process plant, with bulk earthworks design progressing following completion of the LIDAR survey. Structural, mechanical and piping design activities advanced, while tenders for structural steel, platework fabrication and concrete works were prepared for issue. The development team also continued to progress procurement and contracting activities for key project packages, with further equipment orders to be placed following receipt of the required permit.

Environmental and social workstreams continued to progress in support of future project development, in parallel with the advancing of technical and execution readiness.

PDI is developing a detailed implementation schedule and revised overall capital cost estimate, which are planned to be completed in the second half of 2026 following completion of the process plant FEED, mine plan evaluation and the first phase of the TSF design. Based on current information, the Company does not anticipate any increase to the US$463M capital cost reported in the Definitive Feasibility Study and is pursuing initiatives to reduce the upfront capital cost.

GUINEA UPDATE

Guinea Gold Refining Update

On 21 June 2026, President Mamadi Doumbouya convened a meeting with industrial, semi-industrial and artisanal gold producers operating in Guinea, at which he indicated the Government's intention to require all gold produced in Guinea to be refined domestically prior to export.

On 8 July 2026, the Government of Guinea issued a decree mandating the local refining of gold produced in the country. The decree introduced a 90-day transitional period expiring on 6 October 2026, after which the export of gold that has not been refined in Guinea to a minimum purity of 95.5% will be prohibited. Following the expiry of the transitional period, only gold refined to the required purity by an authorised Guinean refinery and certified for export will be permitted to leave the country.

The Government has indicated that the Nimba Gold Refinery, located in Conakry, is expected to play a central role in supporting implementation of the new domestic refining framework.

Under the decree, industrial mining companies remain responsible for arranging and executing the export and sale of their own gold, subject to compliance with the applicable refining, certification and export requirements.

Following the meeting on 21 June 2026, gold exports were temporarily paused while the Government finalised the regulatory framework and implementation requirements for in-country refining. Since 8 July 2026, PDI has shipped approximately 33.8koz of gold under existing export agreements, generating provisional receipts of approximately US$135.7M. The Company continues to produce, export and sell gold in the ordinary course of business and has not experienced any material interruption to mining or processing operations.

The Company is working constructively with the relevant Guinean authorities, the Chamber of Mines and other Guinean gold producers to support a practical and orderly transition to the new regime. In parallel, PDI is also investigating potential development of its own refining operations on-site to achieve the prescribed purity threshold prior to export.

PDI does not expect the decree to have a material impact on the Company or its 2026 production guidance.

Capital Gains Tax

After the quarter end during July, the Company agreed to pay US$13.8M in capital gains taxes and duties assessed by the Government of Guinea related to the merger between PDI and Robex.

As part of the settlement, PDI received confirmation from the relevant authorities that no further capital gains tax, registration duties or other fiscal claims will arise in Guinea in connection with the merger or related post-merger reorganisation activities. The settlement provides fiscal certainty in relation to the transaction and resolves all known tax and duty matters arising from the merger in Guinea.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

PDI recorded zero recordable injuries during the June 2026 quarter, with its rolling 12-month Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (“TRIFR”) improving to 1.8 as at 30 June 2026, compared with 2.3 as at 31 March 2026.

During the quarter, Kiniéro operations surpassed 7.4 million hours without a Lost Time Injury (“LTI”), while Nampala surpassed 2.1 million hours since its last LTI was recorded in November 2025.

PDI continues to focus on critical risk management, safe access and egress, and strengthening controls around maintenance and manual handling activities to support ongoing improvements in safety performance.

2026 GUIDANCE

PDI announced 2026 production guidance of 198,000-220,000oz in the March 2026 quarterly activities report, and remains on track to achieve guidance.

Following Kiniéro ramp up, PDI has now established 2026 AISC guidance for the Company and its gold operations, providing increased transparency on PDI’s anticipated cost structure alongside its gold production profile as it transitions to a multi-asset producer.

The guidance reflects the expected operating profile of both operations and incorporates management’s current assumptions regarding operating performance and cost inputs.

Management remains focused on disciplined cost management, operational optimisation and delivering sustainable improvement across both operations. The Company will continue to monitor operating performance, cost inputs and market conditions throughout the remainder of 2026 and will provide updates to the market where appropriate.

EXPLORATION AND GEOLOGY

Exploration activities focused on resource growth, geological modelling and near-mine target generation across the Company’s operating assets in West Africa. Exploration programs were primarily directed at opportunities to expand existing Mineral Resources and identify additional ore sources capable of supporting long-term production growth at both the Kiniéro and Nampala operations.

Kiniéro

Located within the prolific Siguiri Basin, the Kiniéro licence area hosts multiple structurally-controlled gold deposits within Birimian greenstone sequences. The exploration strategy at Kiniéro is to prioritise near-mine targets and extensions to known mineralised zones that may support future mine life extensions and operational flexibility, and identify opportunities to expand Mineral Resources within the broader permit area. Work included geological interpretation, data validation and targeted drilling to refine the structural controls on mineralisation and support ongoing mine planning.

The quarter was characterised by an increase in diamond (“DD”) and reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling activities principally around near-mine prospects.

For the quarter a total of 11,553 meters was drilled (comprising 9,388 meters of DD and 2,165 meters of RC drilling). Year-to-date, a total of 17,890 meters (16,210 meters of DD and 1,680 meters of RC drilling) has been achieved. Additional DD and RC drilling capacity is expected to materially increase monthly drilling output from mid-July onwards (particularly for RC drilling).

The 2026 exploration strategy aims to continue developing near-mine oxide resources, improve orebody knowledge, define a JORC-compliant maiden inferred hard rock resource and exploration targets at Kiniéro.

Nampala

The Nampala deposits are hosted within the Birimian greenstone belt of southern Mali and comprise structurally-controlled gold mineralisation associated with altered volcanic and sedimentary sequences. Exploration work during the period included geological interpretation and drilling aimed at supporting potential Mineral Resource growth, extending the life of the current open pit operation, and testing additional targets within the permit area.

The exploration activities carried out at Nampala for the quarter remained focused on testing the continuity of fresh rock mineralisation under the existing pits. Current programmes continue improving geological understanding and supporting future reserve growth. For the quarter a total of 4,277 meters was drilled (comprising 1,008 meters of DD and 3,269 meters of RC drilling). Year-to-date, a total of 9,455m (2,096 meters of DD and 7,359 meters of RC drilling) has been achieved. As with Kiniéro, the 2026 exploration strategy aims to continue developing near-mine oxide resources, improve orebody knowledge, define a JORC-compliant maiden inferred hard rock resource and develop exploration targets.

Bankan

Bankan, also located within Guinea’s Siguiri Basin, hosts the large-scale NEB open pit and underground deposits, and the BC and Gbengbeden satellite deposits. Mineralisation is structurally controlled and associated with shear zone-hosted lodes, occurring within quartz veins and quartz-veined fracture zones. The NEB deposit is open at depth and there is potential to discover additional deposits on PDI’s permits. Planning for further exploration is progressing and will be initiated once an Exploitation Permit is issued.

Exploration activities for the quarter comprised ongoing strategic planning, scheduling and budgeting of 2026 work programmes aimed at improving orebody knowledge, resource development and exploration upside opportunities, no drilling activities occurred for the quarter.

CORPORATE

Financial Position

As at 30 June 2026, PDI held US$364.3M of cash and bullion, comprising US$273.9M of cash on hand and 22,444oz of gold bullion.

Debt outstanding was US$130M, reflecting the fully drawn Sprott senior secured facility used to fund the development of the Kiniéro Gold Mine. The Company continued to generate strong operating cash flows during the quarter, partially offset by one-off costs associated with the merger with Robex and the completion of the Kiniéro royalty buyback programme, which is expected to be accretive to future cash flows.

Cash margin from operations totalled US$112M, calculated as receipts from customers of US$217M less operating costs of US$105M. The result reflects strong cash generation from both the Kiniéro and Nampala operations, supported by the continued ramp-up and strong operational performance at Kiniéro.

Other operating costs totalled US$53M including US$36M of merger-related costs, US$9M associated with the private royalty buyback over Kiniero (0.5% net smelter royalty) completed during the quarter and US$6M of tax payments at Nampala. The private royalty buybacks are expected to provide a long-term benefit to the Company by eliminating future NSR royalty payments over the life of the relevant operations and supporting future cash flow generation.

Total capital expenditure during the quarter was approximately US$30M, comprising US$26M invested in mine development, infrastructure and project activities across Bankan, Kiniéro and Nampala, with a further US$4M invested in exploration and evaluation activities.

Financing activities of US$18M included interest payments and gold price participation payments under the Company's Sprott senior secured facility. Other financing activities (interest on restricted cash) contributed US$2.0M, while foreign exchange movements reduced cash balances by approximately US$2.0M during the quarter.

The Company continues to maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation while prioritising operational performance, strong cash generation and advancement of the Bankan Gold Project. The strength of the balance sheet and cash flow generation from Kiniéro and Nampala provide a solid platform to support the Company's future growth initiatives.
