“We look forward to what’s ahead for TRX Gold.” Key highlights for Q2 2026 and Year to Date in 2026 include: Reported Record Quarterly Production, Revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA : During Q2 2026, Buckreef Gold poured a record 7,453 ounces of gold and sold 7,314 ounces of gold at a record average realized price (net) 1 of $4,655 per ounce, recognizing record revenue of $34.1 million, record gross profit of $21.1 million, gross profit margin of 62%, record adjusted net income 1 of $11.7 million, operating cash flow of $8.9 million and record adjusted EBITDA 1 of $20.2 million, all of which reflect increases compared to the prior year comparative period. The record quarterly results demonstrate the Company’s ability to increase production while maintaining a low cost operation, which has provided leverage to record gold prices during Q2 2026. Continued to Deliver Strong Financial Performance Year to Date in 2026 : Year to date, the Company poured 14,050 ounces of gold and recognized revenue of $59.2 million, gross profit of $35.3 million, adjusted net income 1 of $19.4 million, operating cash flow of $12.9 million and adjusted EBITDA 1 of $33.5 million. Revenue, gross profit, adjusted net income, and adjusted EBITDA 1 were all half year records for the Company. Robust Recovery Rates Achieved: As reported last week, recovery rates between 89% - 92% were achieved from additional metallurgical test work, which is in line with prior studies and above the 88% recovery rate assumed in the PEA. The test work provided a more comprehensive understanding of optimal grind size for flotation and achievable mine feed from the mine plan, which has led the Company to specify a Semi Autogenous Grind (“SAG”) / Ball mill combination of 3,500+ tpd, which is above the PEA processing plant size assumption of 3,000 tpd. Tendering for the SAG mill has commenced with orders expected to be placed in Q3 2026 and an initial estimated completion date of calendar Q2 2027. Advancing Existing Processing Plant Upgrades and Increased Expansion: The existing processing plant is currently undergoing significant upgrades and will be available to continue operating in conjunction with the new 3,500+ tpd SAG mill processing plant, providing a significant upgrade in processing capacity versus the 3,000 tpd assumed in the PEA. Notable upgrades to the existing processing plant include a pre-leach thickener, upgraded agitators & interstage screens, Aachen reactor, oxygen plant, Adsorption, Desorption and Recovery (“ADR”) plant, new gold room, apron feeder, belt magnet, and new tertiary crusher. These upgrades are currently in progress and are expected to be completed by calendar Q4 2026. Strategic Mine Planning to Expand Further: During Q2 2026, the Company initiated a revision of the life-of-mine plan as a result of the expected increase in processing capacity and the increase in gold price well above the PEA reserve estimate assumption of US$1,900/oz. Preliminary analysis indicates the potential for an expanded third cutback at the Main Pit, which could extend open-pit operations, defer commencement of underground mining and enhance total recoverable ounces at Buckreef Gold. This is expected to improve the overall economics of the project. The Company is also evaluating the potential for an earlier start to underground mining at the Stamford Bridge orebody, alongside accelerating mining of the expanded Eastern Porphyry pit. The increase in throughput from the expanded processing capacity is expected to increase average annual gold production in excess of the 62,000 ounces of gold originally anticipated in the May 2025 PEA. The Company has hired P&E Mining Consultants Inc. to update the PEA, which is expected to be completed in Q4 2026. Working Capital Significantly Strengthened : In Q2 2026, the Company continued to increase its working capital position through increased production, organically generated cashflow, improved liquidity and an increase in stockpile inventory. The ROM and crushed ore stockpile has grown to an estimated 20,147 ounces of contained gold as at February 28, 2026 (representing a fair market value of approximately $107.5 million at current market prices), as the Company continued to access higher grade ore blocks in the pit and processed a higher proportion of high grade mined material. As a result, the Company’s current ratio has improved to a ratio of approximately 2.4 at February 28, 2026. Advancing Exploration Plans with Drilling to Commence : During Q2 2026, the Company processed all of the detailed ground magnetic data collected from the 810 line-kilometer ground magnetic survey that commenced in Q1 2026. This high-resolution geophysical survey mapped subsurface magnetic variations across the tenement area and resulted in the identification of ten exploration targets. The Company initiated a Gradient Array Resistivity and Induced Polarisation survey to identify the areas of highest potential and prioritize drilling campaigns. Concurrently, the Company commissioned its first drill rig with the goal of upgrading the Mineral Resource at the Eastern Porphyry. Strong Health, Safety, and Environmental Track Record : The Company achieved zero lost time injuries and there were no reportable environmental incidents during Q2 2026.

Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS performance measure and does not constitute a measure recognized by IFRS and does not have a standardized meaning defined by IFRS. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to information in other gold producers’ reports and filings. Adjusted EBITDA is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance and ability to service its obligations. EBITDA is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, many of which present Adjusted EBITDA when reporting their results. Issuers present Adjusted EBITDA because investors, analysts and rating agencies consider it useful in measuring the ability of those issuers to meet their obligations. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and also eliminates the impact of a number of items that are not considered indicative of ongoing operating performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of net (loss) income and comprehensive (loss) income to Adjusted EBITDA per the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 .

Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to information in other gold producers’ reports and filings. Adjusted Net Income is presented as a supplemental measure of the Company’s performance. Adjusted Net Income is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in the industry, many of which present Adjusted Net Income when reporting their results. Management uses this measure internally to evaluate the underlying operating performance for the reporting periods presented. Management believes that Adjusted Net Income is a useful measure of performance because the items excluded from Net Income do not reflect the underlying operating performance of the core mining business and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. The Company presents Adjusted Net Income to enable investors, analysts and rating agencies to better understand the underlying operating performance of the core mining business through the eyes of management. Adjusted Net Income is a non-IFRS financial measure which excludes the following from net income (loss): foreign exchange losses (gains), interest and other expense, change in fair value of derivative instruments, and share-based expenses, which are not considered indicative of the Company’s underlying operating results for the reporting periods presented or for future operating performance.
