Fortuna renews share repurchase program
Under the NCIB, purchases of common shares may be made through the Toronto Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange and/or alternative Canadian trading systems. The share repurchase program starts on May 2, 2025, and will expire on the earlier of:
Fortuna believes that from time to time, its common shares trade at market prices that may not adequately reflect their underlying value. As a result, depending upon future price movements and other factors, the Board of Directors of Fortuna believes that the repurchase of common shares for cancellation would be an appropriate use of corporate funds. Pursuant to the NCIB, Fortuna is permitted to repurchase up to 15,347,999 common shares, being five percent of its outstanding 306,959,986 common shares as of April 28, 2025. Common shares purchased under the NCIB will be canceled.
The actual number of common shares that may be purchased, and the timing of any such purchases, will be determined by Fortuna based on a number of factors, including Fortuna's financial performance and flexibility in the context of its financial guardrails, the availability of discretionary cash flow, and capital funding requirements.
The NCIB will be effected in accordance with the Toronto Stock Exchange's normal course issuer bid rules and/or Rule 10b-18 under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which contain restrictions on the number of common shares that may be purchased on a single day, subject to certain exceptions for block purchases, based on the average daily trading volumes of Fortuna's common shares on the applicable exchange. Subject to exceptions for block purchases, Fortuna will limit daily purchases of common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange in connection with the NCIB to no more than 25 percent, representing 205,903 common shares of the six-month average daily trading volume of the common shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange, representing 823,613 common shares, during any trading day.
Purchases under the NCIB will be made through open market purchases at market price, as well as by other means as may be permitted under applicable securities laws.
In connection with the NCIB, Fortuna has entered into a share repurchase plan with a broker, which will enable the broker to purchase common shares on behalf of Fortuna through the open market in accordance with instructions from management, provided that Fortuna is not in possession of any material non-public information or subject to any black-out periods at such time.
Fortuna's prior NCIB for the purchase of up to 15,287,201 common shares expires on May 1, 2025. As of April 28, 2025, Fortuna repurchased an aggregate of 7,319,540 common shares on the open market through the facilities of the NYSE at a weighted-average price of US$4.7203 per common share, excluding brokerage fees. The repurchased common shares were subsequently canceled.

Altius Completes Sale of 2/3 of its Silicon Gold 1.5% NSR to Franco-Nevada
ST. JOHN'S, Newfoundland and Labrador--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Altius Minerals Corporation (TSX: ALS) (OTCQX: ATUSF) Altius Minerals Corporation ('Altius') is pleased to announce that Altius Royalty Corporation ('ARC'), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Altius, has completed the sale of a 1% NSR royalty covering the Silicon and Merlin gold deposit discoveries in Nevada ('1% NSR Silicon Royalty') to a wholly owned subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation ('Franco-Nevada') (TSX & NYSE: FNV) ('The Transaction'), pursuant to a royalty purchase agreement entered into by ARC and Franco-Nevada (the 'Agreement'). ARC will continue to hold a remaining 0.5% NSR royalty interest in Silicon (recently renamed to the Arthur Gold Project by AngloGold Ashanti plc ('AGA') as a long-term component of its diversified portfolio. The purchase price for the 1% NSR Silicon Royalty interest is US$ 275 million (~ C$ 375 million) comprised of US$ 250 million in upfront cash paid at closing and a further payment of US $25 million in cash payable upon the conclusion of an ongoing arbitration process that confirms the area subject to the royalty under final award to be consistent with Altius's interpretation of the partial award of the arbitration tribunal that was issued and reported on earlier this year. The Board of Directors of Altius has received a fairness opinion from Cormark Securities Inc. which opinion concluded that, based upon and subject to the assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, limitations and qualifications set out therein, the consideration to be received by ARC pursuant to the Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to ARC. Brian Dalton, CEO of Altius commented, 'We are pleased to partner with Franco-Nevada on this royalty, which encompasses AGA's world-class Silicon and Merlin gold deposit discoveries in Nevada, as well as extensive areas of prospective surrounding land. The Transaction crystallizes significant value for shareholders while further demonstrating the ability of Altius's Project Generation business to amplify the return profile of its overall royalty investment portfolio. The decision to retain a third of our Silicon royalty interest also provides continuing growth exposure to this emerging gold district, while confirming the addition of precious metals as a long-term, well-balanced component of our shareholder's diversified royalty portfolio. We now look forward to the ability to explore a wider set of capital allocation and deployment opportunities, facilitated by a considerably strengthened balance sheet and liquidity profile, and to further growing shareholder value.' Anticipated Benefits to Altius Shareholders Capital Allocation Opportunities Cash, after taxes and fees, expected to increase to more than C$ 360 million (assumes up front and further payment proceeds from this Transaction and also from the recent acquisition of Orogen Royalties Inc. by Triple Flag Precious Metals Corp.) Total liquidity increased to more than C$ 540 million (including C$ 116 million available under a revolving credit facility and C$ 62.5 million potentially available under an accordion feature) Creates enhanced flexibility to evaluate external M&A opportunities while limiting equity level dilution of existing assets and the embedded growth potential of our portfolio Improves ability to opportunistically increase per share exposure to existing royalty interests through share repurchases Retained Royalty Exposure Continuing optionality exposure to gold resource growth 1 from current ~16 Moz resource estimate at the Arthur Gold Project, as AGA continues aggressive exploration and delineation drilling programs and the reporting of encouraging results Achieves rebalance of commodity exposures while confirming precious metals and another tier-1 quality royalty as components of Altius's long-term, diversified portfolio. For further information, please see the updated Altius corporate presentation posted to the website at 1 See Expanded Silicon Project Update presentation Financial and Legal Advisors Cormark Securities Inc. is acting as financial advisor to Altius. Stikeman Elliott LLP is acting as legal counsel to Altius and ARC. About Altius Altius's strategy is to create per share growth through a diversified portfolio of royalty assets that relate to long life, high margin operations. This strategy further provides shareholders with exposures that are well aligned with global growth trends including increasing electricity based market share within energy usage, global infrastructure build and refurbishment growth, increased EAF based steelmaking, steadily increasing agricultural fertilizer requirements and the enhanced appetite for financial asset diversification through precious metals ownership. These macro-trends each hold the potential to cause higher demand for many of Altius's commodity exposures including potash, high purity iron ore, renewable energy, base metals, and gold . In addition, Altius runs a successful Project Generation business that originates mineral projects for sale to developers in exchange for royalties and that has a demonstrated track record of driving outsized direct returns from its overall royalty investment portfolio.

Expand SOLARIS ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, INC SEGMENT REPORTING (In thousands) (Unaudited) We report two distinct business segments, which offer different services and align with how our chief operating decision maker assesses operating performance and allocates resources. Our reporting segments are: Solaris Power Solutions – provides configurable sets of natural gas-powered mobile turbines and ancillary equipment. This segment primarily leases equipment to data center and energy customers and is focused on continuing to grow its services with these customers as well as across multiple commercial and industrial end-markets. Solaris Logistics Solutions – designs and manufactures specialized equipment that enables the efficient management of raw materials used in the completion of oil and natural gas wells. Solaris' equipment-based logistics services including field technician support, software solutions, and may also include last mile and mobilization services. We evaluate the performance of our business segments based on Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as our net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense, income tax expense, stock-based compensation expense, and certain non-cash items and any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses. Summarized financial information by business segment is shown below. The financial information by business segment for prior periods has been restated to reflect the changes in reportable segments. * See 'About Non-GAAP Measures' above for additional detail and reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP measures in the accompanying financial tables. Expand SOLARIS ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE, INC (In thousands, except per share data) (Unaudited) EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA We view EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as important indicators of performance. We use them to assess our results of operations because it allows us, our investors and our lenders to compare our operating performance on a consistent basis across periods by removing the effects of varying levels of interest expense due to our capital structure, depreciation and amortization due to our asset base and other items that impact the comparability of financial results from period to period. We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they provide useful information regarding trends and other factors affecting our business in addition to measures calculated under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ('GAAP'). We define EBITDA as net income, plus (i) depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) interest expense and (iii) income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus (i) stock-based compensation expense and (ii) certain non-cash items and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring gains, losses or expenses. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for an analysis of our results of operation and financial condition as reported in accordance with GAAP. Net income is the GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered alternatives to net income presented in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents a reconciliation of the GAAP financial measure of net income to the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA. (1) United States federal and state income taxes. (2) Represents stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and performance-based restricted stock units. (3) Represents costs incurred to establish the Stateline JV, including legal fees related to debt amendments to incorporate provisions for the joint venture. (4) Represents reversal of a portion of previously recognized property tax contingency following a settlement agreement with Brown County Appraisal District. (5) Represents reversal of previously recognized accrued property tax expenses following a settlement agreement with Brown County Appraisal District, included in cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. (6) Represents costs incurred to affect the acquisition of Mobile Energy Rentals LLC. (7) Other includes the net effect of loss/gain on disposal of assets and lease terminations, inventory write-offs, and transaction costs incurred for activities related to acquisition opportunities. (8) Represents the 49.9% non-controlling interest share of Stateline JV's Adjusted EBITDA loss attributable to CTC Property LLC. Expand CASH AND DEBT ATTRIBUTABLE TO SOLARIS (1) Cash segregated for capital expenditures. Expand ADJUSTED PRO FORMA NET INCOME AND ADJUSTED PRO FORMA EARNINGS PER FULLY DILUTED SHARE Adjusted pro forma net income represents net income attributable to Solaris assuming the full exchange of all outstanding membership interests in Solaris Energy Infrastructure, LLC ('Solaris LLC') not held by Solaris Energy Infrastructure, Inc. for shares of Class A common stock, adjusted for certain non-recurring items that the Company doesn't believe directly reflect its core operations and may not be indicative of ongoing business operations. Adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share is calculated by dividing adjusted pro forma net income by the weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding, assuming the full exchange of all outstanding units of Solaris LLC ('Solaris LLC Units'), after giving effect to the dilutive effect of outstanding equity-based awards. When used in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are supplemental measures of operating performance that the Company believes are useful measures to evaluate performance period over period and relative to its competitors. By assuming the full exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units, the Company believes these measures facilitate comparisons with other companies that have different organizational and tax structures, as well as comparisons period over period because it eliminates the effect of any changes in net income attributable to Solaris as a result of increases in its ownership of Solaris LLC, which are unrelated to the Company's operating performance, and excludes items that are non-recurring or may not be indicative of ongoing operating performance. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies due to different methods of calculation. Presentation of adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should not be considered alternatives to net income and earnings per share, as determined under GAAP. While these measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, it does not account for the earnings attributable to the non-controlling interest holders and therefore does not provide a complete understanding of the net income attributable to Solaris. Adjusted pro forma net income and adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP financial results. A reconciliation of adjusted pro forma net income to net income attributable to Solaris, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, and the computation of adjusted pro forma earnings per fully diluted share are set forth below. (1) Assumes the exchange of all outstanding Solaris LLC Units for shares of Class A common stock at the beginning of the relevant reporting period, resulting in the elimination of the non-controlling interest and recognition of the net income attributable to non-controlling interests. (2) Represents costs incurred to establish the Stateline JV, including legal fees related to debt amendments to incorporate provisions for the joint venture. (3) Represents reversal of a portion of previously recognized property tax contingency following a settlement agreement with Brown County Appraisal District. (4) Represents reversal of previously recognized accrued property tax expenses following a settlement agreement with Brown County Appraisal District, included in cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. (5) Represents costs incurred to affect the acquisition of Mobile Energy Rentals LLC. (6) Other includes the net effect of loss/gain on disposal of assets and lease terminations, inventory write-offs, and transaction costs incurred for activities related to acquisition opportunities. (7) Represents the 49.9% non-controlling interest share of Stateline JV's net loss attributable to CTC Property LLC. (8) Represents the weighted-average potentially dilutive effect of Class B common stock, unvested restricted stock awards, unvested performance-based restricted stock units, outstanding stock options, and shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes.

Senator says U.S. tariffs from Trump White House damaging for Washington state
Opponents from Washington state of U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats against Canada are vowing to fight, saying the ongoing trade war has delivered a heavy blow to American border communities. In a conference call led by Democrat U.S. Senator Patty Murray that included British Columbia Premier David Eby, Murray said regions such as Whatcom County bordering Canada get about 12 per cent of taxable retail income from Canadian consumers. Murray said the drop in Canadian tourists visiting her state has also resulted in economic uncertainty among ferry operators and in Point Roberts, where residents cannot access the U.S. mainland without travelling through Canada. Eby said it is difficult to continue asking British Columbians to keep their money in Canada but the U.S. boycotts are necessary in the trade war despite circumstances being 'miserable' on both sides of the border. Earlier this week, Eby responded to statements by the U.S. Ambassador to Canada who called Canadians mean and nasty over their travel and alcohol boycott, saying Canadians would be 'proud' to be considered mean for standing up for their sovereignty. Edmund Schweitzer, founder of Washington-based digital device maker Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, said during the conference call that his company is predicting the tariffs will cost it US$100 million in 'unanticipated federal taxes.' Schweitzer said that means each of the 7,000 employees who co-own the company will take a financial hit of US$14,000 from the tariffs. 'President Trump seems to have created the 51st state that he was talking about, which is the great state of uncertainty,' he said Wednesday. 'And this is affecting all of us.' Murray said she is working in the U.S. Congress to bring Democrats and Republicans to join in the fight to wrestle back the power to set tariffs from the White House and urges other Americans to join the cause. 'Who is responsible for this, and we all need to remember this, is the president of the United States who started this,' Murray said. 'We are raising our voices to say, 'Enough is enough … stop this.' B.C. is among several Canadian provinces that banned the sale of U.S. alcohol from government-run stores after the trade war began, and industry groups say such sales in Canada have fallen sharply in March and April. Statistics Canada figures show the number of Canadians returning home by car from south of the border fell to just over 33 per cent in June compared with the same period last year, and return trips by air fell to just over 22 per cent during the same period. 'No one wants this,' Murray said of the falling numbers and economic uncertainty. 'We did not ask for this. It's been imposed on us. And I think that the premier is making it clear he has to make it painful for the United States. 'That doesn't change our relationship with British Columbia. We've always been friends, allies. We have had challenges in the past, but we talk to each other. We work through it, and that's what we both want at the end of this.'
