ACG Metals Limited: Full-Year and Q4 2025 Operations Update

LONDON, Jan. 19, 2026 — ACG Metals Limited (“ACG” or the “Company”) today released a comprehensive update on its operational performance for the fourth quarter of 2025 (“Q4 2025”) and the full financial year ended December 31, 2025 (“FY 2025”). The announcement highlights strong production performance, disciplined cost management, major project progress, and strategic guidance for 2026.

Leadership Presentation for Investors

Artem Volynets (Chairman and CEO) and Patrick Henze (CFO) will host a live investor presentation via Investor Meet Company on January 26, 2026, at 12:00 GMT. Investors are invited to register online to participate and ask questions.

Record Operational Safety and Production Performance in 2025

The Company successfully completed 2025 with an excellent safety performance, recording a Lost Time Injury Frequency (“LTIF”) of 0.66 over 1.6 million man-hours worked, including zero lost-time incidents during core operations.

ACG beat its production guidance for the year, producing 39.2 thousand ounces gold equivalent (koz AuEq) — 3% above the top end of guidance — and selling 39.5 koz AuEq during the year, marking the first full year of production from the Gediktepe Mine under ACG’s ownership.

Cost Management and Profitability

Operational efficiency and cost control initiatives drove a notable 18% reduction in C1 cash costs to US$499 per ounce AuEq. While all-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) increased year-on-year to US$1,244/oz AuEq, this was primarily due to higher gold and silver prices, which increased associated royalty expenses.

Outlook and Production Guidance for 2026

Looking ahead, the Company provided its 2026 production guidance, forecasting annual production of 20,000–22,000 tonnes per annum copper equivalent (ktpa CuEq). This guidance includes approximately 17.5 koz AuEq from oxide material that has already been stacked and is currently under leach.

Guidance for AISC in 2026 is expected to range between US$2.40 and US$2.60 per pound CuEq, reflecting the transformational change in production mix toward copper. A reduction in royalty costs under the agreement with EMX Royalty Corporation — dropping from 10% in 2025 to approximately 2.25% in 2026 — is expected to significantly enhance cost efficiencies.

Strategic Project Progress

Gediktepe Sulphide Expansion Project

The Gediktepe Sulphide Expansion Project continued to advance steadily throughout 2025. The project remains both on schedule and on budget, and ACG is targeting commercial production by the end of the first half of 2026. This milestone will mark ACG’s transition from primarily gold and silver production to becoming a significant copper producer.

Enriched Ore Treatment Project

ACG also advanced its Enriched Ore Treatment Project at the Gediktepe Mine. In Q4 2025, the Company completed the scoping study and basic engineering for the project, which aims to unlock additional resources from enriched ore and stockpiles on site. Over the next four years, the project is expected to target an additional ~57 kt CuEq. Detailed engineering work, permitting, and metallurgical testing are scheduled to begin in Q1 2026.

Financial Position and Liquidity

ACG ended 2025 with a net debt position of US$65 million, reflecting the capital investments made to support expansion and operational growth. The Company maintains a strong liquidity position supported by ongoing production cash flow and disciplined capital management.

CEO’s Summary Remarks

Artem Volynets, ACG Metals’ Chairman and CEO, commented that the Company is “proud of its consistent operational outperformance in 2025,” citing the team’s execution capabilities. He emphasized that ACG is well positioned to complete its transition to a copper producer in 2026, with the Sulphide Expansion on track and oxide production continuing to support strong cash generation.

Detailed Operational Highlights for FY 2025

The Company’s full FY 2025 performance reflected robust execution across mining, processing, and safety metrics:

• Ore mined: 351,723 tonnes (reflecting sequencing and production plans).
• Ore processed: 354,472 tonnes.
• Gold grade improvements and silver grade increases contributed to enhanced ore value.
• Realized prices for gold and silver increased, boosting revenue potential.

These accomplishments further underscore ACG’s commitment to efficient mine sequencing, disciplined cost control, and strategic investment in future production capacity.
