This quarter marks the beginning of a significant ramp-up in GEOs and revenue, which is expected to grow our forecasted production to between 14,000 and 16,000 GEOs by 2026. We were pleased to see the first gold pour at Artemis Gold's Blackwater mine in B.C. and the continued ramp-up of operations at Equinox Gold's Greenstone mine in Ontario, both of which are expected to contribute increasing GEOs to Versamet over the remainder of this year and into 2026.
Looking ahead, we aim to continue this momentum with several upcoming catalysts, including the first delivery of copper from Kolpa, the first gold pour at Kiaka in the second half of the year, and the start of pre-strip mining at Toega.
Subsequent to quarter end, the Company's common shares commenced trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on May 20, marking another key milestone in our growth. A primary focus going forward will be enhancing our market profile and broadening our investor base."

Blackwater (0.21% NSR)
On May 2, 2025, Artemis Gold ("Artemis") announced that it had achieved commercial production at its Blackwater mine in BC and provided guidance of 160,000 to 200,000 ounces of gold production for 2025. Artemis also noted a potential acceleration of the proposed phase 2 expansion, which is anticipated to increase Blackwater's average annual production to over 500,000 GEOs per year.
Kiaka (2.7% NSR)
On May 12, 2025, West African Resources ("West African") provided an update on development activities at Kiaka highlighting that construction remains on schedule with the crushing circuit complete and operational, and commissioning of the wet plant underway. Mining activities are ramping up ahead of the scheduled commencement of process plant operations and first gold pour expected in Q3 of this year.

Toega (2.7% NSR)
On April 17, 2025, West African provided an update on development activities at Toega highlighting that construction of the ore haul road from Toega to Sanbrado having commenced in the first quarter.

Also during the first quarter, West African announced a maiden underground mineral resource and scoping study for a potential underground development beneath the Toega open pit, which is expected to begin producing in 2026. The maiden underground inferred mineral resource estimate includes 4.9 million tonnes at a grade of 3.5 grams per tonne containing 560,000 ounces of gold with the deposit remaining open at depth. The underground scoping study outlined the potential to produce an additional 515,000 ounces of gold over a 7-year mine life. Toega underground production is incremental to the pre-existing 8-year open pit mine life outlined in West African's latest 10-year mine plan. An updated 10-year mine plan is expected later this year which will integrate the open pit and underground resources into a single operation.1

Additional information about Inc. is also available on SEDAR+ at . Q2 2025 Headlines: Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 was €372.0 million, an increase of 20%, or €60.8 million, compared to €311.2 million for the comparable period in 2024. For the first six months of 2025 total revenues were €727.6 million, an increase of 18%, or €109.9 million, compared to €617.8 million for the comparable period in 2024. The increase for both the three and six-month periods compared to the same periods in the prior year is primarily attributable to growth from acquisitions as the Company experienced organic growth of 5% and 4% respectively. Organic growth is not a standardized financial measure and might not be comparable to measures disclosed by other issuers. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 increased €14.5 million to €41.5 million compared to €26.9 million for the same period in 2024. On a per share basis, this translated into net income per basic and diluted share of €0.31 in the quarter ended June 30, 2025 compared to €0.21 for the same period in 2024.

Forward Looking Statements Certain statements herein may be 'forward looking' statements that involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Topicus or the industry to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to vary significantly from the results discussed in the forward looking statements. These forward looking statements reflect current assumptions and expectations regarding future events and operating performance and are made as of the date hereof and Topicus assumes no obligation, except as required by law, to update any forward looking statements to reflect new events or circumstances. Non-IFRS Measures Free cash flow available to shareholders ''FCFA2S'' refers to net cash flows from operating activities less interest paid on lease obligations, interest paid on other facilities, credit facility transaction costs, repayments of lease obligations, and property and equipment purchased, and includes interest and dividends received, and the proceeds from sale of interest rate caps. The portion of this amount applicable to non-controlling interests is then deducted. Topicus believes that FCFA2S is useful supplemental information as it provides an indication of the uncommitted cash flow that is available to shareholders if Topicus does not make any acquisitions, or investments, and does not repay any debts. While Topicus could use the FCFA2S to pay dividends or repurchase shares, Topicus' objective is to invest all of our FCFA2S in acquisitions which meet Topicus' hurdle rate. FCFA2S is not a recognized measure under IFRS and, accordingly, readers are cautioned that FCFA2S should not be construed as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities. The following table reconciles FCFA2S to net cash flows from operating activities: About Inc.
