– Jason Simpson, President and Chief Executive Officer, Orla Mining;

“Thanks to the effort and dedication of our people across the business, we successfully exceeded our annual production guidance —delivering more than 300,000 ounces for the first time in our history.

 

“The strength of our diversified portfolio was clearly demonstrated in the second half of 2025, driven by outstanding execution by our operations teams in Mexico and Canada.

 

“Despite short-term challenges at Camino Rojo, the operation has fully rebounded, and Musselwhite’s exceptional production performance in our first ten months of ownership propelled us to record annual production.

 

“Our 2026 guidance reflects strong gold production and sustained investment to accelerate growth at Musselwhite, South Carlin, and Camino Rojo.

 

“Together, these priorities position us to deliver long-term value through disciplined execution of a high-quality pipeline of opportunities.”

.

 

Musselwhite Operations

During the quarter, Musselwhite mined 370,622 tonnes of ore and processed 361,407 tonnes at a mill head grade of 6.77 g/t gold. Gold recovery was 95.65% resulting in gold production of 75,818 ounces. 

 

Camino Rojo Operations

During the quarter, Camino Rojo mined over 1.7 million tonnes of ore and nearly 2.7 million tonnes of waste, for an implied strip ratio of 1.52. A total of 1.86 million tonnes of ore were stacked at an average grade of 0.47 g/t gold equating to an average daily stacking rate of about 20.2 thousand tonnes.

Our Camino Rojo team in Mexico responded rapidly and safely to the July pit wall event, mitigating the impact by processing stockpiled material while the north wall was re-established. With overburden removal now complete and mining returned to the main portion of the deposit, Camino Rojo is well positioned to deliver consistent performance in 2026. Camino Rojo produced 96,764 ounces of gold in 2025, in line with the revised annual guidance.

(“GMIN” or the “Corporation”) (TSX:GMIN, OTCQX:GMINF) is pleased to provide its operational guidance for 2026 and 2027 regarding its 100%-owned Tocantinzinho Gold Mine ( “Tocantinzinho” or “TZ”) in the State of Pará, Brazil, together with a project update on its 100%-owned Oko West Gold Project (“Oko West”) in Guyana.

Unless otherwise stated, all amounts are in U.S. dollars.

.

2026 & 2027 Guidance Highlights

  • Gold production in 2026 is expected to range between 160,000 and 190,000 ounces (“oz”), representing a modest increase over 2025 at the midpoint of guidance. Production is expected to be weighted toward the second half of the year, with approximately 62% of total output forecast to occur in H2 as higher-grade mineralization becomes available in accordance with the mine plan.
  • The Corporation expects to maintain a competitive cost structure in 2026, with cash operating costs1projected to range between $736 to $865 per ounce of gold (“Au”) sold and all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”)1,2at $1,230 to $1,444 per ounce of gold sold2, respectively, based on a realized gold price assumption of $4,000 an ounce.
  • Gold production in 2027 is expected to range between 200,000 and 235,000 ounces, representing an increase of approximately 25% over 2026 production at the midpoint of guidance, driven by a full-year contribution of higher-grade Phase 2 ore at TZ.
  • Total cash costs1and AISC1are expected to improve materially in 2027, with cash costs and AISC projected to decline by approximately 14% and 20%, respectively, compared to 2026 at the midpoint of guidance.
  • Sustaining capital expenditures for 2026 are estimated to range between $69 million and $81 million, including $31 million to $36 million of capitalized waste stripping, and are expected to support the long-term performance and reliability of the TZ operation.
  • Growth capital expenditures of $514 and $568 million are planned for 2026 to advance Oko West, which remains on track to achieve first gold production in the second half of 2027.
  • The 2026 exploration program is expected to be the largest in the Corporation’s history, with a total budget ranging between $42 million and $50 million, including approximately $21 million at Gurupi, $16 million at Oko West, and $9 million at TZ.

2026 and 2027 guidance assumes a realized gold price of $4,000 per oz, Brazilian Real (“BRL”)/USD exchange rate of 5.55 and CAD/USD exchange rate of 1.40.

 

 

.

Louis-Pierre Gignac, President and Chief Executive Officer said;

 

“Our 2026 and 2027 guidance reflects the continued execution of our operating and growth strategy.

“At TZ, we expect steady production while maintaining a competitive cost structure.

“At Oko West, project development is advancing in line with plan, supporting our objective of achieving first gold production in the second half of 2027.

“With a strong balance sheet and ongoing free cash flow generation, GMIN remains well positioned to fund its growth initiatives.”

LAHONTAN DRILLS THICK, SHALLOW GOLD: 114m GRADING 0.33 g/t Au Eq at
YORK; 23m GRADING 0.42 g/t Au Eq at SLAB

 

Toronto Ontario, January 13, 2026 – Lahontan Gold Corp. (TSX.V:LG, OTCQB:LGCXF) (the “Company” or “Lahontan”) is pleased to announce the first results from our 2025 Phase Two drilling program at the Company’s flagship Santa Fe Mine Project located in Nevada’s prolific Walker Lane.

Lahontan has received analytical results for six reverse-circulation rotary (“RC”) drill holes totaling 994 metres.

 

Significant results include:

• York: 114.3 metres (76.2 – 190.5m) grading 0.33 g/t Au Eq in YOR25-004R including 18.3 metres (172.2 – 190.5m) grading 0.90 g/t Au Eq: A shallow, thick, intercept of gold mineralization that expands the footprint of the York gold zone to the north of the current mineral resource pit shell*, leaving gold mineralization open and unconstrained to the north by modern drilling 
• Slab: 22.9 metres (19.8 – 42.7m) grading 0.42 g/t Au Eq in CAL25-009R: Very shallow oxide gold that may pull the Slab pit shell deeper in an updated Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) expected later this year (please plan map for drill hole locations below).
• Slab: 29.0 metres (97.5 – 126.5m) grading 0.26 g/t Au Eq in CAL25-010R: Oxide gold
mineralization below the current mineral resource pit shell, an additional opportunity to potentially deepen the Slab conceptual pit shell and capture additional gold resources in the MRE update.

 

 

.
Kimberly Ann, Lahontan Executive Chair, President, CEO, and Founder commented:

 

“The Lahontan team is excited to receive the first analytical results from our Phase Two 2025 drill program at Santa Fe.

 

“The drill results at York reinforce our interpretation that the York deposit continues to the north of the previously defined MRE* and provides an excellent opportunity to further expand gold Mineral Resources at York.

 

“At Slab, the two drill holes targeting deeper extensions to known shallow oxide gold and silver mineralization were very successful; these drill results will be incorporated into an updated MRE for the entire Santa Fe Mine project, expected in the coming months.

 

“We will be receiving additional analytical results for seven drill holes at Santa Fe and six drill holes at our West Santa Fe project over the coming weeks, so please stay tuned for further press releases!”

Catalyst Metals Reports Record Plutonic gold production

 

 

Catalyst Metals ( ASX: CYL) recorded quarterly production at Plutonic of 28,176oz of gold under Catalyst ownership.

Settlement of inherited legal dispute paves the way for acceleration of mining and
exploration at Plutonic’s fourth ore source – K2.

 

Quarterly Highlights

• Record quarterly production at Plutonic of 28,176oz of gold under Catalyst ownership
• Settlement of inherited legal dispute paves the way for acceleration of mining and
exploration at Plutonic’s fourth ore source – K2

 

.
Production

• Three mines were operating across the Plutonic Belt during the quarter – Plutonic Main, Plutonic East and Trident open pit
• Gold produced for the quarter was 28,176oz at an average AISC of A$2,565/oz produced (AISC of $2,776/oz sold)
• Catalyst retains guidance of 100 – 110koz of gold at an AISC of A$2,200/oz – A$2,650/oz

Growth & Exploration

• Development of K2 continues to progress with first ore expected before 30 June 2026
• Mining of the Trident open pit expected to conclude in the first half of CY2026 with
development of the underground mine commencing soon after
• Exploration activities continued at Old Highway and Cinnamon, targeting Resource
growth
• Drill rigs mobilised to K2 to commence a range of programs including Resource growth, grade control and step out drilling
• Drilling results at Cinnamon including 22m at 14.3g/t Au and 7m at 29.8g/t Au doubled
the strike length of the Cinnamon trend and opened up high-grade potential beneath
the existing Resource
• Exploration drilling resumed in Bendigo, while approval was obtained for the exploration tunnel at Four Eagles. The remaining 49% ownership in the Tandarra project was also acquired during the quarter

Financial and Corporate

Operating cashflow (after all sustaining capital and corporate costs) was A$74m. Of this, A$5m was then spent on non-discretionary capital (power station, camp etc), A$22m on non-recurring items (legal settlement, stamp duty), A$16m on discretionary growth capital (Trident, K2 & OHW project development) and A$24m on exploration

Cash and bullion at quarter end was A$238m, an increase on the prior quarter while
maintaining increased exploration and development project spend, and settling legal
disputes.

Catalyst is debt free and holds an undrawn A$100m corporate revolving facility, providing liquidity of A$338m

Catalyst Metals’ flagship asset is the 40km long Plutonic Gold Belt in Central
Western Australia. This belt currently produces ~100koz pa at a target AISC of
A$2,425/oz from two mines at Plutonic Main and Plutonic East.

Catalyst is currently bringing three new mines into production – Trident, K2 &
Old Highway. Each will be processed through the existing, underutilised and
centrally located 2Mtpa CIL processing plant.

Exploration is targeting down dip extensions of each of these deposits.

With the development and exploration of these five deposits, Catalyst aims to
increase Reserves and production from 1.5Moz to ±2Moz and ±100koz to
±200koz annually.

.

.
MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

“Record gold production for the quarter is pleasing. The operating risk for the business continues to fall as new mines come online.

“Before 30 June we will be producing from four mines on the belt – a terrific outcome from the team considering less than two and a half years ago Plutonic was near bankrupt, producing from only one mine!

“Exploration results at Cinnamon are encouraging as are further results expected this quarter from Trident, Old Highway and K2.”

Equinox Gold Delivers Record Q4 Production and Record FY 2025 Gold Production of 922,827 ounces; 2026 Guidance Represents an 80% Increase in Annual Canadian Gold Production

 

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Equinox Gold Corp. (TSX: EQX, NYSE American: EQX) (“Equinox Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce production results for the three months (“Q4”) and year (“Full Year”) ended December 31, 2025, an update on operations at its two Canadian cornerstone assets (Greenstone Gold Mine (“Greenstone”) and Valentine Gold Mine (“Valentine”) and its 2026 production, cost and capital guidance.

The Company’s audited financial and operating results for Q4 and Full Year 2025 will be released on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 after market close. All financial figures in this news release are in US dollars.

.

Darren Hall, Chief Executive Officer of Equinox Gold, commented:

“Equinox Gold delivered a record 922,827 ounces of gold production in 2025, reflecting the significance of the Company’s expanded portfolio and strength of our results focused team.

.

“Operational momentum is expected to continue into 2026 with a full year of production from Valentine, continued improvements at Greenstone, and steady contributions from our operations in Nicaragua and Mesquite in the United States.

.

“Cash increased by 24% quarter over quarter to $430 million, after absorbing $70 million of one-time payments related to the favorable settlement of legacy tax matters in Mexico and Nicaragua and $75 million of debt repayment, reflecting a clear trend of growing strength in the Company’s underlying cash flow generation.

.

“In 2026, we will maintain a disciplined approach to capital allocation, continuing to review our portfolio to direct investment toward high-return opportunities such as the Phase 2 expansions at Valentine, Castle Mountain and Los Filos.

.

“Our development pipeline has the potential to add approximately 450,000 to 550,000 ounces of incremental annual gold production in the coming years.

.

“With the sale of our Brazil operations expected to close in Q1 2026, we anticipate a meaningful strengthening of our balance sheet in 2026 through significant debt repayment, which will materially reduce interest expense, enhance per-share cash flow, and increase our flexibility to self-fund organic growth while considering capital return initiatives within a disciplined framework.  

.

“While gold prices are very constructive, they do not change how we fundamentally run the business. Our focus remains on cost control, eliminating waste from the business and delivering reliable performance and long-term value creation to all stakeholders.

.

“The combination with Calibre has brought together high-quality assets and a strong operating team, positioning us to generate cash, strengthen the balance sheet, grow organically and deliver sustained share price appreciation for our investors.”

West Red Lake Gold Declares Commercial Production at Madsen Gold Mine

 

West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.(“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG)(OTCQX: WRLGF) is pleased to declare commercial production at its 100% owned Madsen Gold Mine, located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The Madsen Mine achieved commercial production as of January 1, 2026.

The mill averaged 689 tonnes per day (“tpd”) in December 2025. This represents 86% of permitted throughput of 800 tpd and meets the Company’s internal commercial production requirement of 30 consecutive days of mill throughput at 65% or greater of permitted capacity.

Operational stability, the other internal requirement, is also in place at Madsen. Consistent strong mill recoveries, which averaged 94.6% in December, enabled production of 3,215 ounces of gold.

.

.

Shane Williams, President and CEO said;

“We are delighted to announce commercial production at the Madsen Mine, achieved only seven months after completion of the bulk sample.

 

“Achieving commercial production is a major milestone for any producer and it comes after a strong December that saw tonnage, grade, recoveries, and production all perform to plan.

 

“Credit and gratitude go to the site operations team, who delivered a responsible and methodical mine ramp up. I also want to thank our partners the Lac Seul and Wabauskang First Nations and the community of Red Lake for their longstanding support.

 

“We will continue to ramp up from this strong base, and I anticipate Madsen will reach sustained permitted capacity by mid-2026.”

——-

.

For the first quarter (“Q1”) of 2026, mill feed will come predominantly from the 4447 area, the high-grade zone in South Austin that the Company defined in 2025. Mill feed is expected to average in excess of 6 grams per tonne gold (“g/t Au) in Q1.

In December the Madsen Mine produced 21,389 tonnes of ore, which is an average of 689 tonnes per day. The tonnes carried an average grade of 4.94 g/t Au. Mill recovery of 94.6% over the month produced 3,215 ounces of gold in December.

Pacgold Imminent Gold Production from The White Dam Project – Up to 250kt of ore to be under irrigation by mid-January

Pacgold Limited (ASX: PGO) (‘Pacgold’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to announce that gold production and initial cash flow is imminent with cyanide irrigation now underway along the western wall of the heap leach pad at the recently acquired White Dam Gold Project (‘the Project’), located in South Australia, approximately 80km west of
Broken Hill.

HIGHLIGHTS

 HEAP LEACH IRRIGATION UNDERWAY – Cyanide irrigation is now underway along the western wall of the heap leach pad at the White Dam Gold Project in South Australia.

 NEAR TERM GOLD PRODUCTION AND CASH FLOW – Up to 250,000T of original run of mine (ROM) ore on the first lift of the existing heap leach dump has now been turned over and aerated and will be fully under irrigation by mid-January 2026, paving the way for near term gold production and initial cash flow.

 EXPLORATION TEAM AND DRILL CREWS MOBILISING- The full exploration team is now mobilising back to site with development drilling at Vertigo, Hannaford and White Dam North set to recommence within the next week.

Approximately 250,000 tonnes of original run of mine (ROM) ore on the first lift of the existing heap leach dump has been turned over and will be irrigated by mid-January 2026.

heap leach irrigation will utilise the recently relined and approved Pregnant Leach Solution (PLS) pond and existing fully operational processing infrastructure
on site.

The excavator will remain onsite for the coming months and continue to focus on aeration of areas of the pad which have received less irrigation to date.

The initial leaching timeframe is expected to be approximately 5-6 weeks with ore’ to be processed and sold as soon as possible providing initial cash flow from the operation and funding for additional development and exploration activities throughout the company’s portfolio.

Results are expected to provide confidence in future recovery rates of gold remaining in pad.

 

 

Pacgold’s Managing Director, Matthew Boyes, commented:

“Commencing heap leach irrigation at White Dam is a major milestone for the Company and marks the transition from project acquisition to gold production.

 

“We are all very keen to see how this first batch of material reacts to aeration and being turned over.

 

“This exercise should be viewed as a large-scale metallurgical test work programme, results of which we anticipate will demonstrate the potential to extract significant value from the 7.5 million tonnes of existing ROM ore on the leach pad over the coming months.

 

“With cyanide irrigation now underway and up to 250,000 tonnes of ROM ore expected to be under leach by mid-January, we are on track for imminent gold production and the generation of initial cash flow.

 

“This is a significant low cost and low-risk step in unlocking near-term value from White Dam and strengthening the Company’s financial position in the current high gold price environment.”

Barton Gold CEO Sends a Positive Message for 2026

 

Dear Investors & Colleagues,

I hope this mail finds you well, enjoying the holidays with friends and family, and looking forward to an exciting 2026. What a massive year it has been for Barton.

2025 has been transformational in all respects, with several notable project and corporate achievements jointly symbolising the ‘pivot point’ between the last 5 years of ‘building our thesis’, and the next 5 years of ‘executing our plan’ and realising the value of the platform we have methodically and [very] cost-efficiently assembled.

These include:

Exploration & Development

.

Corporate

We are also now collectively witnessing concrete evidence of the once-in-a-generation paradigm shifts in global monetary, trade and geopolitical structures that I / we / Barton have been discussing in our general economic commentary for several years now.

We are therefore not surprised to see gold significantly outperforming UBS’s June 2024 forecast for USD $2,800 / A$4,000 by the end of 2025. Widely ridiculed at the time as sensationalist, UBS now sees USD $5,000 gold by September 2026 – a perhaps relatively sober outlook given the aforementioned ongoing global macro / structural evolution, and that this would represent only a further ~15% gain from current levels.

Our strategy to rapidly scale Barton’s development options and prepare it for low-cost commercialisation ahead of these anticipated market innovations is therefore at least timely in its execution, if not prescient in its design. Either way, we and our strategy are now well positioned, and the market is becoming increasingly aware of it.

Growing awareness of our performance, and of these global trends, has seen BGD close trade today at $1.32, just shy of our all time high, on unusually high trading volumes for this time of year. This represents a 426% gain for the year and substantial ‘alpha’ generated – outperforming producers (GDXJ) by a factor of 2.6 to 1, and gold itself by 6.6 to 1.

2026 will be about leaning into the momentum we have generated, continuing to build this market awareness of our story, commercialising the platform we have assembled, and placing Barton on track to realise our vision of developing South Australia’s largest independent pure-play gold producer.

Among many other goals for 2026, we aim to:

  • complete nearly 50,000 metres of drilling at Challenger, Tunkillia and Tolmer’s silver discovery, targeting multiple JORC upgrades across these projects;
  • deliver a DFS, finance and start of site works for ‘Stage 1’ Challenger operations;
  • deliver a PFS, JORC Ore Reserves and a Mining Lease application for Tunkillia; and
  • extend our track record of low dilution and creative asset monetisation. 

 

“With Challenger gravity survey results and several Tunkillia drilling assays oustanding, we expect to start 2026 with significant early news flow which will grow steadily as we execute and report on these many and multi-faceted efforts.

 

“I look forward to sharing numerous updates as we move through an exciting 2026. As always, we are honoured to have your support, and will continue to work as hard for your investment as you did.Wishing you all the best for a healthy, safe and prosperous 2026”

Alexander Scanlon – Managing Director & CEO

Mining Review 4th January 2026

Gold and silver are volatile again after the New Year.

Gold is still hovering above $4,300, but silver remains around it’s all-time high price as supply remains tight. The CME has twice raised margin requirements to try and curb speculators, but to no avail thus far.

——-

Western Gold is about to become the next Australian producing gold miner, with a startup imminent in Q1 2026.

Western Gold are featured in our tier2 Watchlist as a late stage developer, early production company. Arrangements are now almost complete for production startup, and I expect the share price to run closer to the commencement of production.

I hold shares in Western Gold and recently added. I intend to rotate some profits from another company to increase my holding here in the near term to take advantage of any rise in share price that normally occurs as a developer enters production.

Stocks to watch in 2026 – Barton Gold

Comment

 

I have to admit, of all the stocks on my watchlist ,and in my current portfolio, Barton is my number one selection for having the most potential to create shareholder value in 2026.

The company has a strong management team that are quietly achieving their objectives moving towards the first phase of a two phase production schedule.

They are refurbishing an existing mill for a small capex, and are looking to commence gold production at the end of 2026, or the beginning of 2027.

For that reason, provided the gold price remains high around current levels, or higher of course, I see Barton climbing towards the production peak on the Lassonde Curve later this year.

Phase 2 production is three years away, when the company hope to produce 150,000 ounces of gold production per annum, which will produce a massive profit if the gold price remains high. 

Management own 21% of the stock, and institutions 36%, a good sign of confidence in the project and management.

Management visit Europe frequently, I meet CEO Alex Scanlon whenever he comes, he’s very communicative, which is another tick in the box for my personal criteria.

Stocks to watch in 2026 – Barton Gold

Barton Gold is due to enter production in late 2026 at its Gowler Mill in South Australia.

Barton is an active company and management are targeting 150,000 Oz gold production annually in the future.

The company are entering a two phase production plan, with a first stage due to enter production late 2026, early 2027. I personally always allow for some slippage in the timeline as mining is a complicated business.

The mill is fully permitted, and therefore I don’t expect too many challenges for the restart.

 

Phase 1

Involves reprocessing historic tailings, which provides a low cost entry to production. I like tailings projects, the hard work has already been done, they sit on surface, not in the ground, and new technology makes it possible to produce from what’s left over from their original processing.

 

Highlights

A DFS is due in March 2026.

Mill commissioning, and phase 1 operations are due to commence at the end of 2026.

Capex A$26 million.

Mill capacity will be between 600 and 650 ktpa.

 

Future Plans

Barton’s long term target after phase 2 is initiated is to produce 250,000 ounces of gold per annum.

Phase 1 production is designed to give Barton a chance to earn early cashflow as the longer term plans develop.

 

The latest Barton Gold Corporate presentation can be viewed HERE

 

In conclusion, I believe Barton Gold will deliver, the risk level looks at the lower end of the scale, being a tailings project to be processed at a refurbished mill, with low capex.

 

One to watch during 2026, especially as production startup approaches, as I expect the normal Lassonde Curve rules of shareholder value creation to apply as production approaches.

Barton Gold High Resolution Gravity Survey Targets Challenger Repeats

 

Targeting near-mine indications of high-grade quartz vein lodes

 

Barton Gold Holdings Limited (ASX:BGD, OTCQB:BGDFF, FRA:BGD3) (Barton or Company) is pleased to confirm the start of a high resolution airborne gravity survey surrounding its South Australian Challenger Gold Project (Challenger).

The program is part of Barton’s research and development (R&D) initiatives
trialling various technologies in historically under-explored terrain to define new geological models.

HIGHLIGHTS

• High resolution survey over northern portion of EL 6502, which hosts the Challenger Gold Mine
• Targeting gravity anomalies indicative of structures similar to Challenger’s high-grade gold lodes

 

.

Barton Managing Director Alexander Scanlon said:

“With a DFS underway for the phased restart of operations at Challenger, leveraging our Central Gawler Mill, we are diligently pursuing our regional enhancement strategy.

 

“This includes not only our Tarcoola and Wudinna blending feed projects, but also the potential for near-mine repeats of Challenger’s high-grade quartz vein lodes.

“Challenger was developed during a period of record low gold prices, and as such historical investment favoured rapid development over local exploration. With existing infrastructure, new discoveries could be highly valuable.”
