REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Fortuna Mining Corp.
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Fortuna Mining Corp. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the financial performance and its cash flows for each of the years then ended, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 18, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Assessment of the recoverable amount of the Lindero cash-generating unit
As discussed in Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements, the carrying value of the Company’s mineral properties, plant, and equipment was $1,518,676 thousand as of December 31, 2025. As discussed in Note 32 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company determined that there was an indicator of impairment reversal at the Lindero cash-generating unit (CGU). Specifically, the increase in the Company’s estimates of future metal prices was identified as an indicator of impairment reversal. The Company estimated the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU based on its fair value less cost of disposal and determined that recoverable amount is greater than the carrying amount, therefore an impairment reversal of $52,745 thousand was recognized.
We identified the assessment of the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU as a critical audit matter. A high degree of auditor judgment was required to evaluate the inputs used to estimate the recoverable amount. Assumptions used in the determination of the recoverable amount included long-term metal prices, the amounts of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources information that form the basis for the life of mine plan, production cost estimates, and the discount rate.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Company's process to determine the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU. This included controls over the Company’s development of the assumptions used to estimate the recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU. We assessed the competence, capabilities and objectivity of the Company’s personnel who determined the amounts of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources information that form the basis for the life of mine plan for the Lindero CGU. We compared the amounts of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources in the discounted cash flow model to the life of mine plan and to the recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources information. We compared the Company’s life of mine plan and operating results to actual results to assess the accuracy of the Company’s forecasting process. We evaluated the Company’s recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources information by analyzing changes from the prior year. We compared expected future production costs in the discounted cash flow model to the life of mine plan and to historical expenditures. We involved valuations professionals with specialized skills and knowledge, who assisted in (1) assessing the long-term metal prices by comparing to third party data; and (2) evaluating the discount rate by comparing it to an independently calculated range of discount rates using internal and external independent sources.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of Fortuna Mining Corp.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Fortuna Mining Corp.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity for each of the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 18, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Controls and Procedures section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading 'Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

3. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these financial statements.
(a) Basis of Consolidation
These financial statements include the accounts of the Company. All significant intercompany transactions, balances, revenues, and expenses have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial results of the Company from the effective date of acquisition or control and up to the effective date of disposition or loss of control. Control is achieved when the Company has power over the investee, is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with an investee, and had the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Discontinued operations are presented in the consolidated statements of income and consolidated statements of cash flows separately.
The Company is the ultimate parent entity of the group. At December 31, 2025 the principal subsidiaries of the Company, their geographic locations, and the ownership interests held by the Company, were as follows:
Name | | Location | | Ownership | | Principal activity | |||
(b) Non-Controlling Interests
Non-controlling interests represent equity interests in subsidiaries owned by outside parties. Non-controlling interests are recorded at their proportionate share of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired on initial recognition. The share of net assets of subsidiaries attributable to non-controlling interests is presented as a component of equity. Their share of net income and other comprehensive income is recognized directly in equity even if the results of the non-controlling interests have a deficit balance.
The Company recognizes transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity shareholders. Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in subsidiaries that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
(c) Consolidation, Functional and Presentation Currency
These financial statements are presented in United States Dollars (“$” or “US$” or “US dollars”), which is the functional currency of the Company. References to C$ are to Canadian dollars. All amounts in these financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand US dollars, unless otherwise stated.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the functional currency of some of the Company's corporate, holding, and exploration subsidiaries changed to the US dollar. This change was applied prospectively. Consequently, as at December 31, 2025, the functional currency of all the Company's subsidiaries is the US dollar.

Fortuna Mining Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
(d) Inventories
Inventories include mineral concentrates, doré, ore on the leach pad, gold in-circuit, and stockpiled ore, which are valued at the lower of average production cost and estimated net realizable value. Production costs allocated to metal inventories include direct mining costs, direct labour costs, direct material costs, mine site overhead, depletion and amortization. Stockpiled ore that is not expected to be processed within the next twelve months is classified as non-current. Supplies inventories are measured at the lower of average cost, which includes all costs of purchase and other costs in bringing these inventories to their existing location and condition, and net realizable value. Net realizable value is based on the replacement costs of the specific item of inventory.
In the heap leaching process, ore is stacked on the leach pad and treated with a chemical solution that dissolves the gold contained within the ore. The resulting pregnant solution is further processed in a plant where the gold is recovered. The cost of leach pad inventory is based on cost of mining, crushing, and leaching, including applicable depletion and amortization, and is removed as ounces of gold are recovered at the weighted average cost per recoverable ounce of gold on the leach pad. Estimates of recoverable gold in the leach pad are calculated based on the quantities of ore placed on the leach pad (measured tonnes added to the leach pad), the estimated grade of ore placed on the leach pad (based on assay data), and an estimated recovery percentage (based on estimated recovery assumptions from metallurgical testing). The nature of the leaching process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor inventory levels. As a result, estimates are refined based on actual results and engineering studies over a period of time. The final recovery of gold from leach pad will not be known until the leaching process is concluded at the end of the mine life.
If the carrying value exceeds the net realizable amount, a write-down is recognized. The write-down may be reversed in a subsequent period if the circumstances which caused the write-down no longer exist, to the extent that the related inventory has not been sold. Net realizable value is calculated as the estimated price at the time of sale based on prevailing metal prices less estimated future costs to convert the inventories into saleable form and estimated costs to sell.
(e) Exploration and Evaluation Assets
Exploration expenditures on properties for which the Company does not have title or rights to are expensed when incurred. Significant payments related to the acquisition of land and mineral rights and the costs to conduct a preliminary evaluation to determine that the property has potential to develop an economic ore body are capitalized as incurred. The time between initial acquisition and a full evaluation of a property’s potential is dependent on many factors including, but not limited to, location relative to existing infrastructure, the property’s stage of development, geological controls and metal prices.
The Company capitalizes the cost of acquiring, maintaining its interest, and exploring mineral properties as exploration and evaluation assets until such time as the properties are placed into development, abandoned, sold, or considered to be impaired in value.
If a mineable ore body is discovered, exploration and evaluation costs are reclassified to mining properties. The Company uses the following criteria in its assessment:
| ● | the property has mineral reserves as referred to in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), and |
| ● | when legal, permitting, and social matters have been resolved sufficiently to allow mining of the ore body. |

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Exploration and evaluation assets are tested for impairment when an indicator of impairment is identified and upon reclassification to mining properties.
If no mineable ore body is discovered, all previously capitalized costs are expensed in the period in which it is determined the property has no economic value.
(f) Mineral Properties, and Property, Plant and Equipment
i. Mineral Properties and Development Costs
For operating mines, all mineral property expenditures are capitalized and amortized based on a unit-of-production method considering the expected production to be obtained over the life of the mineral property. The expected production includes proven and probable reserves, and for the Caylloma mine the portion of inferred resources expected to be extracted economically as part of the production cost.
Capitalized costs of producing properties are amortized on a unit-of-production basis over proven and probable reserves and the portion of inferred resources where it is considered highly probable that those resources are expected to be extracted economically.
The expected production to be obtained over the life of the mineral property is based on the Company’s life-of-mine production plans which for Caylloma include a portion of inferred resources, and therefore differs from the life-of-mine plans the Company publishes as part of its NI 43-101 compliant technical reports which are based on reserves only. The decision to use inferred resources, and the portion of inferred resources to be included varies for each operation and is based on the geological characteristics of the ore body, the quality and predictability of inferred resources, and the conversion of inferred resources into measured and indicated (“M&I”) that the Company has historically achieved in the past.
As part of the process to include inferred resources into the Company’s underground life-of-mine production plans, the Company applies an economic cut-off to identify only the material that can be considered profitable to mine within the Company’s mine designs, and at this time the Company applies a conversion or “risk” factor to the mining blocks comprised of inferred resources that the Company includes in such mine production plans. This conversion factor is based on the predictability of conversion derived from statistical estimates of confidence as described above and the support from historic conversion rates of inferred resources into M&I at each of the Company’s mines. The conversion factors used in the Company’s 2025 life-of-mine plans was
The percentage of inferred resources included as a component of the total mineable inventory (reserve and resource) considered in the 2025 underground life-of-mine evaluation as of December 31, 2025, was
The Company reviews the conversion factors including past experience in assessing the future expected conversion of inferred resources to be used in the life-of-mine plans for inclusion of inferred resources once a year in light of new geologic information and conversion data and when events or circumstances indicate that a review should be made. The Company continually monitors expected conversion and any changes in estimates that arise from this review are accounted for prospectively.

ii. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairments. Costs directly related to construction projects are capitalized to work in progress until the asset is available for use in the manner intended by management. Assets, other than capital works in progress, are depreciated to their residual values over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Land and buildings | | | | |

| | |
Mineral properties |
|

|

|

|

| (1) | The lesser of useful life or life of mine. |
Equipment under finance lease is initially recorded at the present value of minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease and depreciated over the shorter of the lease term or useful life.
Spare parts and components included in machinery and equipment are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the component or the related machinery and equipment.
Borrowing costs attributed to the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized to mineral properties, plant and equipment, and are included in the carrying amounts of related assets until the asset is available for use in the manner intended by management.
On an annual basis, the depreciation method, useful economic life, and residual value of each component asset is reviewed with any changes recognized prospectively over its remaining useful economic life.
iii. Stripping cost
Pre-production stripping costs are generally capitalized and amortized over the production life of the mine using the unit-of-production method.
Stripping costs incurred during the production stage are incurred in order to produce inventory or to improve access to ore which will be mined in the future. Where the costs are incurred to produce inventory, the production stripping costs are accounted for as a cost of producing those inventories. Where the costs are incurred to improve access to ore which will be mined in the future, the costs are deferred and capitalized to the statement of financial position as a stripping activity asset (included in mineral properties) if the following criteria are met:
| ● | improved access to the ore body is probable; |
| ● | the component of the ore body can be accurately identified; and |
| ● | the costs relating to the stripping activity associated with the component can be reliably measured. |
If these criteria are not met, the costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

The stripping activity asset is subsequently depleted using the units-of-production depletion method over the life of the identified component of the ore body to which access has been improved as a result of the stripping activity.
(g) Asset Impairment
At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses for impairment indicators and if there are such indicators, then the Company performs a test of impairment.
For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows or cash generating units. These are typically individual mines or development projects. Brownfields exploration projects, located close to existing mine infrastructure, are assessed for impairment as part of the associated mine cash generating unit (“CGU”).
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less cost of disposal (“FVLCD”) and value in use.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. FVLCD is the amount obtainable from the sale of the asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties, less costs of disposal. When a binding sale agreement is not available, the FVLCD is estimated using a discounted cash flow approach with inputs and assumptions consistent with those expected to be used by a market participant.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine if a previously recognized impairment should be reversed. An impairment is only reversed if there is a change in the assumptions previously used to determine the recoverable value of the cash-generating unit since the last impairment loss was recognized. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of recoverable amount but not beyond the carrying amount, net of depreciation and amortization, that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized into profit or loss immediately.
(h) Borrowing Costs
Interest and other financing costs incurred that are attributable to acquiring and developing exploration and development stage mining properties and constructing new facilities (“qualifying assets”), are capitalized and included in the carrying amounts of qualifying assets until those qualifying assets are capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
The capitalization of borrowing costs incurred commences on the date when the following three conditions are met:
| ● | expenditures for the qualifying asset are being incurred; |
| ● | borrowing costs are being incurred; and |
| ● | activities that are necessary to prepare the qualifying asset for its intended use are being undertaken. |
Borrowing costs incurred after the qualifying assets are substantially complete are expensed.
Transaction costs, related to a recognized debt liability, including legal, upfront commitment fees and other costs of issuance, are deferred and presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability and are amortized over the term of the relevant loan using either the effective interest rate or the straight-line method.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Transaction costs that are not attributable to a specific debt liability or where the transaction costs exceed the carrying value of the related debt liability (primarily undrawn credit facilities) are deferred and presented as other non-current assets in the Company's statements of financial position. Amortization of transaction costs is included in interest and finance costs, net in the Company’s statements of income.
All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
(i) Income Taxes
Income tax expense consists of current and deferred tax expense.
Current tax expense is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at period end adjusted for amendments to tax payable with regards to previous years.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for deferred tax consequences attributable to unused tax loss carry forwards, unused tax credits, and differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis (“temporary differences”). Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates expected to apply when the asset is realized, or the liability is settled.
A deferred tax asset is recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the asset can be utilized. To the extent that the Company does not consider it probable that a deferred tax asset will be recovered, the deferred tax asset is reduced.
The following temporary differences do not result in deferred tax assets or liabilities:
| ● | the initial recognition of assets or liabilities, not arising in a business combination, that does not affect accounting or taxable income, and at the time of the transaction does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences; |
| ● | goodwill; and |
| ● | investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities where the timing of reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and reversal in the foreseeable future is not probable. |
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(j) Closure and Reclamation Provisions
Future obligations to retire an asset, including dismantling, remediation and ongoing treatment and monitoring of the site related to normal operation are initially recognized and recorded as a liability based on estimated future cash flows discounted at the risk-free rate.
The closure and reclamation provision (“CRP”) is adjusted at each reporting period for changes to the expected amount of cash flows required to discharge the liability, the timing of such cash flows and the risk-free discount rate.
The liability is accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to profit or loss.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
The amount of the CRP initially recognized is capitalized as part of the related asset’s carrying value and amortized to profit or loss. The method of amortization follows that of the underlying asset. Revisions in estimates or new disturbances result in an adjustment to the CRP with an offsetting adjustment to the asset. For a closed site or where the asset which generated a CRP no longer exists, there is no longer a future benefit related to the costs and as such, the amounts are expensed.
Due to uncertainties inherent in environmental remediation, the ultimate cost of future site closure and reclamation could differ from the amounts provided. The estimate of future site closure and reclamation costs is subject to change based on amendments to laws and regulations, changes in technologies, price increases and changes in interest rates, and as new information concerning the Company’s closure and reclamation obligations becomes available. Such changes are reflected prospectively in the determination of the provision.
(k) Share-Based Payments
The fair value method of accounting is used for share-based payment transactions. Under this method, the costs of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements are recorded based on the estimated fair value at the grant date and charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Where awards are forfeited because non-market based vesting conditions were not satisfied, the expense previously recognized is reversed in the period the forfeiture occurs.
Share-based payment expenses relating to cash-settled awards, including deferred share units, restricted share units, and performance share units, are accrued and expensed over the vesting period based on the quoted market value of the Company’s common shares. As these awards will be settled in cash, the expense and liability are adjusted at each reporting period for any changes in the underlying share price.
i. Deferred Share Unit Plan
Deferred share units (“DSUs”) are typically granted to non-executive directors of the Company. They are payable in cash upon resignation, retirement, removal, failure to achieve re-election, or upon a change of control of the Company. The DSU compensation liability is accounted for based on the number of DSUs outstanding and the quoted market value of the Company’s common shares at the reporting date. The year-over-year change in the DSU compensation liability is recognized in profit or loss.
ii. Share Unit Plans
The Company’s share unit plan covers all restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance share units (“PSUs”) granted by the Company.
Restricted Share Units
The Company’s RSUs are settled in either cash or equity, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the grant date and typically vest over
For cash-settled RSUs, the share-based payment expense is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect any change in the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares and the vesting of each RSU grant, with a corresponding amount recorded in trade and other payables, and other non-current liabilities on the Company’s statements of financial position.

For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Performance Share Units
The Company’s PSUs are performance-based awards for the achievement of specified performance metrics by specified deadlines and are settled in either cash or equity, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors at the grant date and typically vest over
For equity-settled PSUs, the fair value is determined based on the quoted market price of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant and the number of PSUs expected to vest based on the performance factors. The fair value is recognized as a share-based payment expense over the vesting period with a corresponding amount recorded in equity reserves.
(l) Financial Instruments
Financial assets are measured as either: amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). The classification of financial assets is generally based on the business model in which a financial asset is managed and its contractual cash flow characteristics. Derivatives embedded in contracts where the host is a financial asset in the scope of the standard are never separated, and instead the hybrid financial instrument is assessed for classification.
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and |
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
| ● | it is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and |
| ● | its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. |
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive loss (“OCI”). This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Certain intercompany loans are, in substance, equity investments. Repayments of these intercompany loans are not considered partial disposals of a net equity investment. Consequently, no amounts are reclassified from OCI to profit or loss upon repayment. All financial assets not classified as measured at amortized cost or FVOCI as described above are measured at FVTPL.
Components of compound financial instruments are separately classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. The financial liability is initially recognized at fair value, net of an allocation of issuance costs, and is subsequently measured at amortized cost. The equity component is initially measured based on the residual amount, net of an allocation of issuance costs, and is not subsequently remeasured.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted directly in equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments. No gain or loss is recognized on the issue of the Company’s own equity instruments, unless the equity is issued to settle a liability.
Financial Liabilities at Amortized Cost
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, unless they are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, or the Company has opted to measure them at FVTPL. Debt, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are recognized initially at fair value, net of any transaction costs incurred, and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The following accounting policies apply to the subsequent measurement of financial assets:
| ● | Financial assets at FVTPL – These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss; |
| ● | Financial assets at amortized cost – These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The amortized cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss; and |
| ● | Equity investments at FVOCI – These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Gains or losses recognized on the sale of the equity investment are recognized in OCI and are never reclassified to profit or loss. |
(m) Revenue Recognition
The Company earns revenue from contracts with customers related to its concentrate and doré sales. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when a customer obtains control of the concentrate or the doré and the Company satisfies its performance obligation. The Company considers the terms of the contract in determining the transaction price, which is the amount the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for the transferring of the concentrates. The transaction price of a contract is allocated to each performance obligation based on its stand-alone selling price.
The Company satisfies its performance obligations for concentrate sales in accordance with specified contract terms. This generally occurs upon delivery to the customer at a specified warehouse or upon loading the concentrate onto a vessel. The Company typically receives payment within one to four weeks of delivery.
Revenue from concentrate sales is recorded based upon forward market price of the expected final sales price date. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“IFRS 15”) does not consider provisional price adjustments associated with concentrate sales to be revenue from contracts with customers as they arise from changes in market pricing for silver, gold, lead and zinc between the delivery date and settlement date. As such, the provisional price adjustments are accounted for as derivatives and presented separately in Note 19 of these financial statements.
Doré sales are recognized when the Company satisfies its performance obligation and control is transferred to the customer. Final weights and assays are adjusted on final settlement which is approximately one month after delivery.

(n) Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
The Company classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition, and management is committed to a plan to sell. The sale must be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification, and it must be unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.
Assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the disposal, excluding finance costs and income tax expense. If the fair value less costs to sell is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Any impairment loss on a disposal group is allocated first to goodwill, and then to the remaining assets and liabilities on a pro rata basis, except that no loss is allocated to inventories, financial assets, or deferred tax assets, which continue to be measured in accordance with the Company’s other accounting policies. Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale and subsequent gains and losses on remeasurement are recognized in profit or loss.
Once classified as held for sale, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are no longer depreciated or amortized. Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position.
A discontinued operation is a component of the Company that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, or is part of a single coordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations. The results of discontinued operations are excluded from continuing operations and are presented as a single amount, net of tax, in the statement of profit or loss.
(o) Adoption of New Accounting Standards, Interpretation or Amendments
In August 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates – Lack of Exchangeability, to clarify the accounting for transactions in currencies that lack exchangeability. These amendments provide guidance on determining when a currency is considered exchangeable and how to estimate the spot exchange rate in cases where exchangeability is lacking. The amendments also require additional disclosures when an entity applies the new requirements to estimate a spot exchange rate due to a lack of exchangeability. The Company adopted these amendments effective January 1, 2025. The adoption of the amendments did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements. The Company has assessed the currencies in the jurisdictions in which it operates and determined that, for the year ended December 31, 2025, no material lack of exchangeability existed that would require the use of an estimated spot rate under the new guidance.
(p) New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Effective
In May 2024, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9, Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments. These amendments address specific issues related to the derecognition of financial liabilities settled through an electronic payment system and the classification of financial assets with certain contractual cash flow characteristics. In accordance with IFRS, the Company applied the amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 effective January 1, 2026, on a prospective basis. While the impact of the amendments to IFRS 9 will depend on the method and timing of future settlements, the Company does not currently expect there to be a material impact. The additional disclosures required under the IFRS 7 amendments will be included beginning with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2026.

In April 2024, the IASB issued new IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. These standards, effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, replace IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and introduce new requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information in financial statements. They aim to improve the consistency and comparability of financial reporting, particularly in the income statement, and introduce new requirements for management-defined performance measures. The standard does not change the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements.
Key changes anticipated to impact the Company include:
| ● | Income and expenses will be classified into defined categories, including operating, investing, and financing. Consequently, some income and expense items may move to different sections of the income statement compared to current presentation; |
| ● | The Company will be required to present specific subtotals, including operating profit; |
| ● | New disclosures will be required for subtotals of income and expenses used in public communications to communicate management’s view of performance; and |
| ● | The starting point for the indirect method of reporting cash flows from operating activities will change to operating profit (currently, net income from continuing operations). |
The Company is currently assessing the detailed implications of these changes and plans to adopt the standard retrospectively on January 1, 2027. Comparative information will be restated on adoption.
4. USE OF ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS, AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the period end date and reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Such judgements and estimates are, by their nature, uncertain. Actual outcomes could differ from these estimates.
The impact of such judgements and estimates are pervasive throughout the financial statements, and may require accounting adjustments based on future occurrences. These judgements and estimates are continuously evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and are accounted for prospectively.
In preparing these financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company applied the critical estimates, assumptions and judgements as disclosed below.
(a) Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
Areas where critical accounting estimates and assumptions have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include:
i. Mineral Reserves and Resources and the Life of Mine Plan
The Company estimates its mineral reserves and mineral resources in accordance with the requirements of NI 43-101. Estimates of the quantities of the mineral reserves and mineral resources form the basis for the Company’s life of mine plans, which are used for the calculation of depletion expense under the units of production method, impairment tests, and forecasting the timing of the payments related to the environmental reclamation provision.
Page | 17
Fortuna Mining Corp.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
Significant estimation is involved in determining the reserves and resources included within the Company’s life of mine plans. Changes in forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may result in the Company’s life-of-mine plan being revised and such changes could impact depletion rates, asset carrying values and the environmental reclamation provision. As at December 31, 2025, the Company used the following long-term prices for the reserve and resource estimations: gold $
In addition to the estimates above, estimation is involved in determining the percentage of resources ultimately expected to be converted to reserves and hence included in the Company’s life of mine plans. The Company’s life of mine plans include a portion of inferred resources as the Company believes this provides a better estimate of the expected life of mine for certain types of deposits, in particular for vein type structures. The percentage of inferred resources out of the total tonnage included in the life of mine plans is based on site specific geological, technical, and economic considerations. Estimation of future conversion of resources is inherently uncertain and involves judgement, and actual outcomes may vary from these judgements and estimates and such changes could have a material impact on the financial results. Some of the key assumptions in the estimation process include geological continuity, stationarity in the grades within defined domains, reasonable geotechnical and metallurgical conditions, treatment of outlier (extreme) values, cut-off grade determination and the establishment of geostatistical and search parameters. Revisions to these estimates are accounted for prospectively in the period in which the change in estimate arises.
ii. Valuation of Mineral Properties and Exploration Properties
The Company undertakes a review of the carrying values of mining properties and related expenditures whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying values may exceed their estimated recoverable amounts determined by reference to estimated future operating results and discounted net cash flows. Where previous impairment has been recorded, the Company analyzes any impairment reversal indicators. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying value of those assets is not recoverable.
In undertaking this review, management of the Company is required to make significant estimates of, amongst other things, future production and sales volumes, metal prices, discount rates, mineral resource and reserve quantities, future operating and capital costs to the end of the mine’s life, and reclamation costs. These estimates are subject to various risks and uncertainties which may ultimately have an effect on the expected recoverability of the carrying values of the mining properties and related expenditures.
The Company, from time to time, acquires exploration and development properties. When properties are acquired, the Company must determine the fair value attributable to each of the properties. When the Company conducts exploration on a mineral property and the results from the exploration do not support the carrying value, the property is written down to its new fair value which could have a material effect on the consolidated statement of financial position and the consolidated income statement.
iii. Inventory
Finished goods, work-in-process, heap leach ore, and stockpile ore are valued at the lower of the average production costs or net realizable value. The assumptions used in the valuation of work-in-process inventories include estimates of gold contained in the ore stacked on leach pads, assumptions of the amount of gold stacked that is expected to be recovered from the leach pads, the amount of gold in the mill circuits and assumption of the gold price expected to be realized when the gold is recovered. If these estimates or assumptions prove to be inaccurate, the Company could be required to write-down the recorded value of its work-in-process inventories, which would reduce the Company's earnings and working capital.

(Tabular amounts presented in thousands of US dollars, except share and per share amounts)
iv. Reclamation and Other Closure Provisions
The Company has obligations for reclamation and other closure activities related to its mining properties. The future obligations for mine closure activities are estimated by the Company using mine closure plans or other similar studies which outline the requirements that will be carried out to meet the obligations.
Because the obligations are dependent on the laws and regulations of the countries in which the mines operate, the requirements could change as a result of amendments in the laws and regulations relating to environmental protection and other legislation affecting resource companies. As the estimate of the obligations is based on future expectations, a number of estimates and assumptions are made by management in the determination of closure provisions.
(b) Critical Accounting Judgements in Applying the Entity’s Accounting Policies
Judgements that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the Company’s financial statements are as follows:
i. Income Taxes
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial statement carrying values of assets and liabilities and their respective income tax bases and losses carried forward. The determination of the ability of the Company to utilize tax loss carryforwards to offset deferred tax liabilities requires management to exercise judgement and make certain assumptions about the future performance of the Company.
Management is required to assess whether it is “probable” that the Company will benefit from these prior losses and other deferred tax assets. Changes in economic conditions, metal prices and other factors could result in revisions to the estimates of the benefits to be realized or the timing of utilization of the losses.
ii. Assessment of Impairment and Reversal of Impairment Indicators
Management applies significant judgement in assessing whether indicators of impairment or impairment reversal exist for an asset or a group of assets. External sources of information the Company considers include changes in the market, economic and legal environment in which the Company operates that are not within its control and affect the recoverable amount of mining interests. Internal sources of information the Company considers include the manner in which mining properties and plant and equipment are being used or are expected to be used, and indicators of economic performance of the assets.

| (f) | International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules |
On June 30, 2024, the Global Minimum Tax Act (“GMTA”) received royal assent, introducing the Pillar Two global minimum tax regime in Canada. The GMTA is based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (“OECD”) Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) model rules. The legislation includes the income inclusion rule and a qualified domestic minimum top-up tax, and contains a placeholder for the undertaxed profits rule.
The Pillar Two regime applies to multinational enterprise groups with consolidated revenues of at least EUR 750 million in at least two of the four fiscal years immediately preceding a given fiscal year. As the Company met this threshold as at December 31, 2023 and 2024, the Pillar Two legislation became applicable to the Company effective January 1, 2025.
In accordance with the mandatory exception under IAS 12, the Company has applied the temporary exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company has performed an assessment of its potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes. Based on this assessment, the Company has determined that it qualifies for the transitional safe harbour relief in all jurisdictions in which it operates. Consequently, no Pillar Two current tax expense or liability has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025.

| (b) | Fair Values of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities |
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Trade receivables – Trade receivables arising from the sales of metal concentrates are subject to provisional pricing, and the final selling price is adjusted at the end of a quotational period. These are marked to market at each reporting date based on the forward price corresponding to the expected settlement date.
Investments in equity securities – Investments in equity securities are recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price at the end of each reporting period with changes in fair value through other comprehensive loss.
Share units payable – The fair value is calculated using quoted market value of the Company’s common shares.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes the fair value estimates by a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets;
Level 2 – Inputs, other than the quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there were

28. MANAGEMENT OF FINANCIAL RISK
The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk management framework and reviews the Company’s policies on an ongoing basis.
The Company is exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, metal price risk, and interest rate risk.
| (a) | Credit Risk |
Credit risk is the risk of an unexpected loss if a customer or third party to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. All of the Company’s trade accounts receivables from concentrate sales are held with large international metals trading companies.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are held through large financial institutions.
These investments mature at various dates within three months.
The Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| December 31, | | December 31, | |||
Cash and cash equivalents | | | ||||
Trade and other receivables | | | ||||
Income tax receivable | – | | ||||
Other non-current receivables | | | ||||
| | | ||||
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. The Company limits its exposure to counterparty credit risk on cash and term deposits by only dealing with financial institutions with high credit ratings and through the Company’s investment policy of purchasing only instruments with a high credit rating. Materially all of the Company’s concentrates are sold to large, well-known concentrate buyers.

| (b) | Liquidity Risk |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they come due. The Company manages its liquidity risk by continually monitoring forecasted and actual cash flows. The Company has in place a planning and budgeting process to help determine the funds required to support its normal operating requirements and its development plans. The Company aims to maintain sufficient liquidity to meet its short-term business requirements, taking into account its anticipated cash flows from operations, its holdings of cash and cash equivalents, and its committed and anticipated liabilities.
The Company had $
The Company manages its liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecasted and actual cashflows. A rigorous reporting, planning and budgeting process is in place to help facilitate forecasting funding requirements, to support operations on an ongoing basis and expansion plans, if any.

| (c) | Currency Risk |
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as a portion of the Company’s expenses are incurred in Canadian dollars, Peruvian soles, Argentine pesos, Mexican pesos, West Africa CFA francs, Australian dollars, and Euros. A significant change in the foreign exchange rates between the US dollar relative to the other currencies could have a material effect on the Company’s profit or loss, financial position, or cash flows.
As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was exposed to currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The tables below present amounts in thousands of their respective currencies:

| (e) | Interest Rate Risk |
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. Currently, the Company’s interest rate exposure mainly relates to interest earned on its cash, cash equivalent, and short-term investment balances, and interest paid on its SOFR-based debt.

| (f) | Capital Management |
The Company’s objective when managing its capital is to maintain its ability to continue as a going concern while at the same time maximizing the growth of its business and providing returns to its shareholders. The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments based on changes to its economic environment and the risk characteristics of the Company’s assets.
As at December 31, 2025, the strict capital controls previously in place in Argentina, which required prior Central Bank authorization for the payment of cash dividends and restricted the free flow of foreign currency, have been substantially eased. Effective April 14, 2025, the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (“BCRA”) established a new framework for access to the Official Foreign Exchange Market (“MULC”). Under this new regulation, legal entities are permitted to access the MULC to pay dividends and profits to non-resident shareholders without prior Central Bank approval, provided that such distributions arise from retained earnings generated in fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Furthermore, the "Social Solidarity and Productive Reactivation" legislation and subsequent emergency decrees that previously extended capital controls through December 31, 2025, have been largely superseded by Law No. 27,742 ("Ley Bases") and associated deregulation decrees, which aim to normalize cross-border financial flows and promote foreign investment stability.
The Company’s capital requirement is effectively managed based on the Company having a thorough reporting, planning and forecasting process to help identify the funds required to ensure the Company is able to meet its operating and growth objectives.
The Company’s capital structure consists of equity comprising of share capital, reserves and retained earnings as well as debt facilities, equipment financing obligations less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Other than complying with the debt covenants under the Company’s Amended Credit Facility, the Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements. As at December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

(d) Tax Contingencies
The Company is, from time to time, involved in various tax assessments arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company cannot reasonably predict the likelihood or outcome of these actions. The Company has recognized tax provisions with respect to current assessments received from the tax authorities in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, and from any uncertain tax positions identified. For those amounts recognized related to current tax assessments received, the provision is based on management's best estimate of the outcome of those assessments, based on the validity of the issues in the assessment, management's support for their position, and the expectation with respect to any negotiations to settle the assessment. Management re-evaluates the outstanding tax assessments regularly to update their estimates related to the outcome for those assessments taking into account the criteria above.

32. REVERSAL OF IMPAIRMENT CHARGE
During the year ended December 31, 2025, an increase in the Company’s estimates of future metal prices was identified as an indicator of impairment reversal for the Lindero mine.
The recoverable amount of the Lindero CGU was determined based on the discounted cash flows expected to be derived from the Company’s mining properties, which is a Level 3 fair value estimate. The projected cash flows are significantly affected by changes in assumptions related to long-term metal prices, changes in the amounts of recoverable mineral reserves and mineral resources, production cost estimates, and the discount rate. The Company has estimated the recoverable amount of the Lindero mine based on its fair value less cost of disposal and determined that recoverable amount is greater than the carrying amount and as a result recorded an impairment reversal of $
Key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount include long-term gold price of $
