2025 Year in Review

In 2025, the Company launched a new corporate mission:BUY TIMMINS. At the outset of the year, Loyalist was a Timmins-foundedcompany without properties or a defined operating strategy, focusedsolely on identifying high-quality opportunities within one ofCanada’s most prolific mining camps.

In February 2025, Loyalist executed two acquisitionagreements nearly simultaneously, securing the Gold Rush propertysouthwest of Timmins and the Loveland property to the northeast. Financingfor these acquisitions followed shortly thereafter. By mid-March, theopportunity to acquire the Tully property emerged, resulting in Loyalistassembling three highly prospective assets within the Timmins miningcamp.

Tully quickly became the Company’s primary focus,given its advanced stage and documented near-term gold productionpotential, particularly within a strong gold marketenvironment.

During the summer of 2025, Loyalist completed theacquisition of Loveland with the support of key existing and newshareholders. The Company then advanced toward closing the Tullyacquisition, which was successfully completed on October 2, 2025, withcontinued shareholder support.

In October, Loyalist was introduced to the DeSantis property,located immediately south of Timmins. On December 1, 2025, the Companyannounced its fourth Timmins-area acquisition, strategicallypositioned along the prolific Porcupine–Destor Fault, one of the mostsignificant gold-bearing structures in Canada.

By year-end 2025, Loyalist had firmly established itsBuy Timmins strategy through the acquisition of four high-qualityproperties within the Timmins mining camp, including a project withnear-term production potential. These milestones were achieved withtotal capital raised of approximately $1.4 million. During the year,the Company’s share price increased from $0.005 to $0.04, withmarket capitalization reaching approximately $16 million.
