Sold 38,276 ounces of gold during the quarter at a record quarterly average price of $4,164 per ounce ("/oz") and sold 127,134 ounces of gold for the year at an average price of $3,516/oz, excluding the effect of realized losses on gold hedging instruments.
Cost and Capital Expenditures
All-in sustaining costs1 ("AISC") of $2,033/oz in Q4 2025. AISC1 for the quarter was 11% lower compared Q3 2025 due to higher gold ounces sold. AISC1 for FY 2025 amounted to $2,233/oz, within revised guidance of between $2,200/oz to $2,300/oz.
Capitalized development pre-stripping costs at Nkran Cut 3 of $11.1 million during Q4 2025 and $33.2 million for FY 2025.
Exploration
- Results from the Phase 2 drilling program at Abore were released2 during Q4 2025. These positive results led to an expanded drilling program with 10,907m drilled in Q4 2025. This program was designed to establish continuity of known mineralization, as well as to test for continuations of the Abore mineralizing system at depths up to 200m below previous drilling and below the Mineral Resource boundary.
FY 2026 Guidance
For FY 2026, gold production guidance at the AGM is forecast between 140,000 ounces and 160,000 ounces. Higher mined grades are expected to be progressively mined from Abore over the course of the year, therefore gold production is forecast to be weighted to the back half of FY 2026. FY 2026 gold production is forecast to increase approximately 25% compared to FY 2025.
AISC1 guidance for FY 2026 is forecast between $2,000/oz and $2,300/oz at a gold price assumption of $4,500/oz and under the current royalty framework in Ghana.
"The fourth quarter capped off a year of strong operating momentum at the AGM, with gold production increasing for a fourth consecutive quarter and rising more than 80% compared to the first quarter of 2025. The successful commissioning and optimization of the secondary crusher has been a key milestone, lifting plant performance to near nameplate capacity, while improving mined grades at Abore continue to drive near-term organic growth," said Matt Badylak, Galiano's President and Chief Executive Officer.
"During the quarter, we made the first $25 million deferred payment to Gold Fields yet still closed the year with $108 million in cash. This financial strength supports our plans to advance stripping at Nkran Cut 3 in 2026 and continue executing our growth strategy in a disciplined manner. With gold production expected between 140,000 to 160,000 ounces in 2026, an increase of approximately 25% year-on-year, we are well positioned to grow production and execute on our aggressive exploration strategy to unlock the full long-term potential of the AGM."
FY 2026 GUIDANCE AND OUTLOOK
FY 2026 Production and Cost Guidance
The AGM is forecast to produce between 140,000 ounces and 160,000 ounces of gold at AISC1 between $2,000/oz and $2,300/oz (at a gold price assumption of $4,500/oz). Relative to FY 2025 reported AISC1, FY 2026 AISC guidance is higher by approximately $80/oz due to higher royalties resulting from higher forecast gold prices.
AISC1 guidance does not reflect the amendments to Ghana's royalty framework that have been proposed to Parliament. If the royalty amendments were ratified by Parliament, the Company's AISC1 would increase by approximately $375/oz at current spot gold prices. AISC1 for the AGM is anticipated to be lower from FY 2027 onwards compared to FY 2026 due to higher relative gold production.
With the secondary crusher commissioned and continuing to be optimized, the Abore deposit is expected to provide the majority of mill feed in FY 2026, with the Esaase deposit providing supplementary ore. Higher mined grades are expected from Abore in the second half of the year, therefore gold production is forecast to be weighted to the back half of FY 2026. Given the expected ramp-up of gold production over FY 2026, the Company has provided indicative production ranges for the first and second half of 2026 as follows.
| Unit | H1 2026 | H2 2026 | |
| Gold production | Oz | 60,000 to 70,000 | 80,000 to 90,000 |
As previously disclosed, gold production is expected to experience a further positive step change beyond FY 2026.
Total sustaining capital expenditures are guided to $16 million to $18 million for FY 2026, excluding sustaining capitalized stripping costs. Sustaining capital expenditures in FY 2026 include the expansion of the tailings facility, minor upgrades to the processing plant, and upgrades to mine camp infrastructure.
Development capital for FY 2026 is guided at between $120 million to $140 million, which primarily relates to Nkran Cut 3 waste stripping ($100 million to $120 million) and village resettlement costs.
Exploration expenditures at the AGM are guided to $17 million to $19 million for FY 2026, which includes approximately 52,000 meters of drilling, as well as ground geophysics and regional prospecting and mapping. The 2026 exploration program is primarily focused on (a) infill drilling at Abore to improve data density in the underground Mineral Resource and support a potential maiden underground Mineral Reserve, (b) an initial phase of drilling to increase Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources at Esaase by drilling the deposit in line with the current gold price environment, and (c) targeting discoveries in both near mine and greenfield areas of the AGM's tenements.

Mining
- Mined 1.2 Mt of ore at the Abore deposit at an average grade of 1.0 g/t gold, an increase in mined grade of 12% from Q3 2025. The strip ratio at Abore was 6.1:1, in line with Q3 2025. The Company continued to focus on accelerating mining activities at Abore with an objective of accessing higher grade ore at depth in the second half of 2026.
Mining operations at Esaase resumed in early November following the community incident that occurred on September 9, 2025.
Mined 0.2 Mt of ore at the Esaase deposit at an average grade of 0.7 g/t gold. The strip ratio at Esaase was 4.6:1, a decrease of 28% from Q3 2025. Mined volumes at Esaase were impacted by the community incident that occurred in September 2025 and strategically focusing mining operations on the Abore deposit for the second half of the year.
Mining cost per tonne at Abore and Esaase averaged $3.94 per tonne ("/t") in Q4 2025, 16% higher than mining costs of $3.41/t at Abore in Q4 2024. The increase in mining cost per tonne was attributable to higher drill and blast costs in Q4 2025.
Mining continued to ramp up at Cut 3 of the Nkran deposit with 4.5 Mt of material mined, including 0.2 Mt of ore, during Q4 2025, an increase of 23% from Q3 2025.
At Nkran, mining cost per tonne was $2.48 for Q4 2025, 25% lower than Q3 2025, due to higher tonnes mined.
Processing
- The AGM produced 37,574 ounces of gold during Q4 2025, an increase of 15% from Q3 2025, as the processing plant milled 1.4 Mt of ore at an average grade of 1.0 g/t gold with metallurgical recovery averaging 91%.
FY 2025 gold production of 121,191 ounces, a 5% increased compared to FY 2024, and within revised FY 2025 guidance range.
With the secondary crushing circuit at the AGM processing plant commissioned (in late July 2025), milling performance in December 2025 achieved nameplate annual capacity of 5.8 Mt.
- Processing cost per tonne for Q4 2025 was $12.13, 4% lower than Q3 2025 and 23% lower than Q4 2024. The decrease in processing cost per tonne in Q4 2025 was driven by more tonnes milled compared to Q3 2025 and Q4 2024, which decreased fixed processing costs on a per unit basis.
Capital Expenditures
Sustaining capital expenditures, excluding capitalized stripping costs, during Q4 2025 totaled $4.4 million and related primarily to a tailings facility expansion.
Development capital expenditures during Q4 2025 totaled $0.7 million (excluding Nkran pre-stripping costs) and related primarily to drilling of boreholes at Nkran and village resettlement early works.
- Development of Cut 3 at the Nkran deposit commenced in February 2025 and continued to ramp up throughout the year. During Q4 2025, 4.3 Mt of waste was mined at a cost of $2.48/t or $11.1 million. These stripping costs are classified as development capital expenditures. The Company anticipates a further ramp up of mining activities at Nkran in 2026 following the mobilization of additional equipment by the mining contractor.
Costs
- AISC1 for Q4 2025 was $2,033/oz, compared to $2,638/oz in Q4 2024. The decrease in AlSC1 was primarily driven by a 55% increase in gold ounces sold in Q4 2025.
- Relative to Q3 2025, AISC1 decreased by 11% in Q4 2025 on a per ounce basis, resulting from higher gold ounces sold.
Exploration
Additional positive results from the Phase 2 drilling program at Abore, carried out in Q3 2025, were released in Q4 20253. These results continued to confirm multiple significant high-grade intercepts, demonstrating continuity of mineralization within new ore shoots identified earlier in 2025 that lie below the existing Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource.
Continued drilling success prompted an expansion of the 2025 Abore drilling program by a further 11,000m, demonstrating the Company's strategic focus on increasing Abore's Mineral Resource. 10,907m of the planned 11,000m of diamond drilling was completed during Q4 2025. This most recent drilling program was designed to test for further extensions of mineralization immediately below the known Mineral Resource, including several deeper step-out holes to test for mineralization up to 200m below previous drilling levels, and the continuation of the Abore granite, which hosts the bulk of mineralization. Refer to the Company's news release dated January 29, 2026, which is available under the Company's SEDAR+ profile, for significant intercepts reported from the expanded Abore drilling program.
Balance Sheet
The Company has maintained a strong cash position with $108.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and no debt.
The Company finalized a $75 million revolving credit facility (the "RCF") with FirstRand Bank Limited, acting through its Rand Merchant Bank division, in Q4 2025. The purpose of the RCF is for general working capital requirements. The RCF has a 4-year term and floating interest rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a margin of 3.95% per annum, while the undrawn portion of the RCF is subject to a standby fee of 1.38% per annum. As of December 31, 2025, the Company had not drawn on the RCF and was in full compliance with all covenants.

The Company sold 38,276 ounces of gold in Q4 2025 at a quarterly record average gold price (before the effect of realized hedging losses) of $4,164/oz for gross revenue of $159.7 million. The increase in revenue from the comparative period was due to a 60% increase in average gold sales prices and a 55% increase in gold ounces sold. The average gold sales price, including the effect of realized gold hedging losses, for Q4 2025 amounted to $3,744/oz.
Income from mine operations for Q4 2025 totaled $51.1 million, compared to $26.1 million in Q4 2024. The increase in income from mine operations was due to higher revenues as described above. This was partly offset by higher depletion expense on Abore and Esaase development and capitalized stripping costs during Q4 2025. Royalties expense was also higher in Q4 2025 due to higher earned revenues and an increase to Ghana Growth and Sustainability Levy ("GSL") from 1% to 3% effective April 1, 2025.
The Company reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $16.8 million in Q4 2025, compared to net income of $0.9 million in Q4 2024. The increase in net income during Q4 2025 was primarily due to higher recorded revenues, partly offset by higher royalties and income taxes.
Reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $85.5 million in Q4 2025, compared to $21.2 million in Q4 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 was primarily driven by higher revenues, partly offset by higher royalties and realized gold hedging losses, as described above.
The Company generated $55.8 million of cash flow from operating activities in Q4 2025, compared to $13.8 million in Q4 2024. The increase in operating cash flow was primarily driven by higher average gold sales prices during the quarter.

The Company sold 127,134 ounces of gold during the year ended December 31, 2025 at an average gold price (before the effect of realized hedging losses) of $3,516/oz for gross revenue of $447.8 million. The increase in revenue from FY 2024 was due to a 47% increase in average gold sales prices and 32% increase in gold ounces sold. Gold ounces sold in FY 2025 were higher than FY 2024 as the Company only consolidated the financial results of the AGM from March 4, 2024 onwards in the comparative year. The average gold sales price for FY 2025, including the effect of realized gold hedging losses, amounted to $3,164/oz.
Income from mine operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 totaled $66.0 million, compared to $54.9 million in FY 2024. The increase in income from mine operations was due to the increase in revenue, as described above, and the Company only consolidating the financial results of the AGM from March 4, 2024 to December 31, 2024 in the prior year. These factors were partly offset by higher realized gold hedging losses, depreciation and depletion expense and royalties in FY 2025.
The Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $29.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to net income of $6.1 million in FY 2024. The decrease in net income was primarily driven by higher realized and unrealized losses on gold hedging instruments in FY 2025 and the recording of current and deferred income tax expenses related to the AGM, which were partly offset by higher recorded revenue.
Reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $182.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $71.3 million in FY 2024. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA1 was driven by higher average gold sales prices and the Company consolidating a full year of financial results of the AGM in FY 2025. These factors were partly offset by higher realized gold hedging losses and royalties in FY 2025.
The Company generated $158.0 million of cash flow from operating activities during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $55.7 million in FY 2024. The increase in cash flow from operations was driven by higher average gold sales prices and the Company consolidating a full year of financial results of the AGM in 2025.

1 Non-IFRS Performance Measures
The Company has included certain non-IFRS performance measures in this news release. These non-IFRS performance measures do not have any standardized meaning and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Accordingly, these performance measures are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Refer to "Non-IFRS Measures" of Galiano's Management's Discussion and Analysis for an explanation of these measures and reconciliations to the Company's reported financial results in accordance with IFRS.
- Total Cash Costs per Gold Ounce Sold
Management of the Company uses total cash costs per gold ounce sold to monitor the operating performance of the AGM. Total cash costs include the cost of production, adjusted for by-product revenue and production royalties per ounce of gold sold.
- AISC per Gold Ounce Sold
The Company has adopted the reporting of "AISC per gold ounce sold". AISC include total cash costs, AGM general and administrative expenses, sustaining capital expenditure, sustaining capitalized stripping costs, reclamation cost accretion and lease payments made on the AGM's mining and other service lease agreements per ounce of gold sold.
- EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") provides an indication of the Company's continuing capacity to generate income from operations before taking into account the Company's financing decisions and costs of amortizing capital assets. Accordingly, EBITDA comprises net income (loss) excluding finance expense, finance income, depreciation and depletion expense, and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA adjusts EBITDA to exclude non-recurring items and non-cash items ("Adjusted EBITDA") and includes the calculated Adjusted EBITDA of the AGM joint venture for periods prior to the consolidation of its ownership.
- Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) per Common Share
The Company has included the non-IFRS performance measures of adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted net income (loss) per common share. Neither adjusted net income (loss) nor adjusted net income (loss) per share have any standardized meaning and are therefore unlikely to be comparable to other measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted net income (loss) excludes certain non-cash items or non-recurring items from net income (loss) to provide a measure which helps the Company and investors to evaluate the results of the underlying core operations of the Company and its ability to generate cash flows and is an important indicator of the strength of the Company's operations and performance of its core business.
- Adjusted Income from Mine Operation
The Company has included the non-IFRS performance measures of adjusted income from mine operations in this news release. Adjusted income from mine operations has no standardized meaning and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to other measures presented by other issuers. Adjusted income from mine operations is calculated by adding back unrealized losses (gains) on the Company's gold hedge derivative instruments to income from mine operations as reported in the Company's Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. The Company believes adjusted income from mine operations provides a measure which helps management and investors to evaluate the financial results of the underlying core operations of the Company and its ability to generate cash flows in the current period.
