DPM METALS ACHIEVES GOLD PRODUCTION GUIDANCE FOR THE ELEVENTH CONSECUTIVE YEAR; ANNOUNCES TIMING OF FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS

DPM Metals Inc. has released preliminary production results for the three and 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2025.

"We ended 2025 on a very strong note, with Ada Tepe and Chelopech delivering the highest quarterly production of the year," said David Rae, president and chief executive officer of DPM Metals. "I'm proud to report that 2025 marks the 11th consecutive year we have achieved our gold production guidance, a remarkable milestone and a testament to our operating strengths.

"We are very pleased with the progress we are making at Vares. We are on target to achieve an 850,000-tonne-per-year operating rate by the end of 2026, and we are continuing to advance training and improve development rates to accelerate precious metals production."

Preliminary production highlights

Preliminary results for the fourth quarter and full year ended Dec. 31, 2025, excluding Vares, are provided in the attached table.

Operational highlights

Chelopech continued its strong record during the fourth quarter, producing approximately 45,700 ounces of gold and 9.9 million pounds of copper.

As anticipated, Ada Tepe delivered its strongest production quarter of the year, producing approximately 24,500 ounces of gold.

Production from Vares in the fourth quarter of 2025 was minimal, as implementing DPM safety practices, training and decline development have continued to be a priority focus. This is consistent with the Vares technical report, with an effective date of April 1, 2025, and available on SEDAR+ and the company's website.

Preliminary results from the fourth quarter and the period from Sept. 3, 2025, to Dec. 31, 2025, for Vares are outlined in the attached table.

In February, 2026, DPM expects to provide a three-year outlook, including detailed 2026 guidance, for the Vares operation along with its corporate guidance. As the Vares mine ramps up to commercial production by the end of the year, 2026 production is expected to be better than previously anticipated, with higher ore processed and higher gold and silver grades, as compared with the Vares technical report.

Timing of fourth quarter and full year 2025 financial results

The company plans to release its fourth quarter and full year 2025 operating and financial results, three-year outlook and detailed 2026 guidance after market close on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026. The news release, MD&A (management's discussion and analysis), and audited consolidated financial statements will be posted on SEDAR+ and on the company's website.
