Ron Hochstein, President and CEO commented, "Following another exceptional quarter of record performance, we are pleased to announce a quarterly dividend of US$0.80 per share, totaling approximately US$193 million.

This significant payout directly reflects the robust free cash flow¹ generated by Fruta del Norte. Given the strong Q3 results, we are exercising the flexibility in our policy by setting the variable dividend at 100%  of our normalized free cash flow remaining after payment of the fixed dividend this quarter which is well above the minimum policy threshold of 50%. This action underscores our confident outlook for the business and our commitment to consistently returning capital to our shareholders.

With this latest payment, Lundin Gold achieves a major milestone of returning approximately $950 million in total dividends, which exceeds the equity raised to acquire and develop Fruta del Norte. This is a testament to the world-class quality of the asset and our team's execution which remains fully focused on maximizing long-term value and continuing to return capital to shareholders."

Quarterly Dividends payable on December 22, 2025

Based on today's closing price of the Company's common shares on the TSX of CAD$99.88, the Quarterly Dividends totaling US$0.80 per common share represent an estimated annual yield of approximately 4.5%².

The variable dividend for the third quarter 2025 was calculated as follows:

Subject to the continued discretion of the Board of Directors, the variable dividend will be equal to an amount per share based on at least 50% of the Company's normalized free cash flow during the preceding quarter, less the fixed dividend paid during such period. The Company will determine its normalized free cash flow each quarter by removing significant non-recurring items from its free cash flow¹ calculation. For the variable dividends anticipated to be paid on account of the 2025 financial year, this normalization includes annual payments which were paid in April of income taxes and profit sharing, together equaling US$95.3 million, which amount will be apportioned across each financial quarter at a rate of US$23.8 million. In addition, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company remitted $50.6 million to the Government of Ecuador as a partial payment against its annual income taxes due in April 2026. To better normalize free cash flow, this payment is being allocated evenly between the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

The Quarterly Dividends for common shares trading on the TSX and the OTCQX will be paid in Canadian dollars on December 22, 2025 based on the prevailing exchange rate at the Quarterly Record Date. The Quarterly Dividends for shares trading on Nasdaq Stockholm will be paid on December 30, 2025 in Swedish kronor (SEK) in accordance with Euroclear principles. To execute the payment of the Quarterly Dividends, a temporary administrative cross-border transfer closure will be applied by Euroclear from Wednesday, December 3 up to and including Friday, December 5, 2025 during which period shares of the Company cannot be transferred between TSX and Nasdaq Stockholm. 

Payments to shareholders who are not residents of Canada will be net of any Canadian withholding taxes that may be applicable. For further details, please visit: www.lundingold/investors/dividends.
